Riss Modi

Just a Luea Engineer trying to retire and not get hung up on anyone else's business. Regrettably for him, the universe has other plans.

Appearance

Riss looks fairly average compared to most Luea. No major piercings. No major tatoos. Brown, almost coppery hair, eyes and photophore cells. Well-trimmed facial hair and well-maintained dreadlocks complete his image. If not for the faint accompanying smell of whiskey, tobacco and ozone, most would express trouble at finding something unique about him. Upon closer investigation, his eyes look off, but those without a knowledge of crustaceans and/or Luea have trouble placing it.

Playlist

Rush-Tom Sawyer

Side quest from Riss: Riss is explaining to the crew how, no matter how many ways people find to distribute music in the future, and listen to it, everyone agrees that Vinyl is, by far, the best physical medium for the enthusiast listener.

"Digital, well, that comes and goes. Someone buys out someone else and suddenly a whole world of music blinks out of existence or melts like icecaps.

So what's the best way to keep physical copies that are long, long lasted? Crystal ain't exactly cheap, and the read-write on it is not enviable. But vinyl? The vinyl material itself has been improved with time, it's never needed a replacement, it's always been the best of it's niche.

Anyway I just found the location of a stack of Prince Albums and we are gonna steal em."
