Appearance
Physical Description
Unlike the rounded, blob-like physique of most plasmoids, Gack's body is elongated and sleek. This allows Gack to be more maneuverable than most members of his species.
Body Features
His feet end in points and he moves in a ice skating motion. His third arm protrudes from his right shoulder and can be hidden by incorporating his right arms together. Gack can grow a psudopod that can act as a weaker, longer appendage.
Facial Features
Gack was told early on that his lack of facial features makes it difficult to interact with. One of his early captains gave him a porcelain tragedy mask to float approximately where his eyes and mouth should be. Over the years of the rough life of a wildspacer the mask has shattered into a jagged mess. Gack will still make an effort to arrange the broken shards to keep his "face" intact.
Physical quirks
Does not understand what staring is since he does not have traditional eyes. He will often go uncomfortable lenghts staring at someone without realizing it.
Apparel & Accessories
His knapsack floats inside his chest for safe keeping.
Mentality
Personal history
Gack was born like all other plasmoids of his species. He started as a droplet that dripped from the Mother Ooze and began to search for food. Plasmoid parenthood is...rather uninvolved compared to other species.
Gack does not know this but he would not have survived if it wasn't for his abnormally high speed and mobility. This, coupled with a streak of luck, meant he was able to survive to his next part of his life cycle. After a few years of absorbing small creatures and his weaker siblings that roamed the cave system he called home, Gack had grown large enough to venture out on his own.
The home world he ventured out into is a wayward comet called Phlox that roams around the wildspace in a delicate dance around the other planets. Gack began to gain sentience like the other surviving plasmoids that inhabited the barren comet. The world of Phlox is harsh and unforgiving, perfect for raising tough fighters and weening out the weak. It was not long before a pirate crew stopped by the comet to pick up a fresh batch of teenage ooze to add to their crew. This is where Gack got his name. The first crew he was drafted into were a fan of the watching of these media storage devices that depicted an alien species of apes that partake in an elaborate coming of age ritual that involved physical endurance, great intelligence and the ability to survive some kind of unknown goo. That goo is where Gack got his name.
Education
Gack's education comes from life experience and a few questionable mentors early on.

Mental Trauma
Had a close run in with a Neh-thalggu when he was first starting out on a ship. They creature consumed half his crewmates before they managed to flee far enough for it to stop chasing.
Ever since, he has not slept easy in the lower decks of the ships he has worked on. He prefers to sleep in a bucket on the main deck.
