- "I wish to *click* practice medicine *buzz* until the day I leave this *click* galaxy."
- — Dr. Spree Razzix
Spree Razzix is a Vratix, an insectoid, hermaphroditic species native to Thyferra. Although technically both genders, Spree identifies as a male purely out of convenience for others. He hatched and grew up in the Vratix hive Razzix, on the planet Thyferra; a world famous for its production and mass exportation of Bacta, a potent healing solution. Having grown up in a community devoted to farming the raw materials for Bacta, as well as its utilization in medicine, Spree quickly took to practicing medicine on his own. After years of practice, he was awarded a Doctorate of Medicine from his Hive. Shortly thereafter, he departed Thyferra for worlds unknown, eager to heal the galaxy.
Currently he is the Director of Surgery for the medical company Xucphra.

Physical Description
His body is insectoid in appearance is composed of a greenish-grey thorax with three pairs of appendages branching out from it. The first pair are his "arms" which, due to an arguably fortuitous birth defect, sport hands with four digits (instead of the species' standard three digits per hand). The arms themselves have two joints which, when extended, permit the arm to stretch to about 1 meter long. The second pair are much larger and more muscled and reside lower on the thorax, they are his legs. When in their resting, bent position, they bring the good doctor to a towering height of approximately 2 meters. The strong legs assist him in jumping great distances when on the run. On the ends of each leg is a foot with three thick digits. The final two limbs are stick-like and do little more than hold his abdomen off the ground. They also have three digits.
His head sits atop a long, slender neck and sports two shining grey compound eyes. Using his vocal folds, he is able to speak in both his native tongue (A click-tongue language called Vratix) and Galactic Basic. He sports two antennae which assist in hearing. They also seem to function like eyebrows, their movement often coinciding with how interested or perplexed he is by some occurrence.
His entire body is covered in small, thin hairs which change color to express mood and contribute linguistically to his native tongue. At a resting 'neutral' state, his body is green-grey in color.
Biography
Early life
Childhood
Spree Razzix hatched in the hive Razzix on the planet Thyferra in the year -17, day 54.
Thyferra is the birthworld of Bacta, a potent wonderdrug that has the ability to heal even the most major of wounds in a matter of hours; having grown up in a hive which had dedicated itself to the growing and harvesting of the natural products to synthesize bacta, he is very knowledgeable in the healing material’s many applications. This led to his curiosity with the science of medicine. Spree was often found visiting the Verachen, the members of his hive who concerned themselves with blending the two crucial ingredients for bacta: alazhi plants and kavam.
Adulthood: Vratix, MD
After years of being a breedling, Spree finally commenced and passed the sacred “adulthood” ritual of his hive and began his study of medicine proper under the tutelage of Verachen elders in his free time. His fascination with bacta was only augmented by his fascination with the biology of his race and that of the other species on his planet, the Thyferrans, drove him deeper and deeper into the medical field. During that time, he also had learned to read and speak Galactic Basic with almost native fluency.
In all his life, Spree has never attended a real institute of higher education simply because the Vratix hive didn’t have any. While the Thyferrans had plenty scattered in their part of the world, the societal stigma imposed on his race by the Thyferrans was too great to permit him to attend. He instead learned through the Verachen and whatever books he could get his hands on. An ambitious surgeon, Spree practiced on the corpses of tiny Knytix, a species of creatures kept as pets by the Vratix.
By the time he was 27 years of age, Spree was a practicing doctor and an adept Verachen. His skills were well known in his hive and to the entire Vratix government of Thyferra. The ruler of the Vratix, called a Canir, bestowed the title of Doctor (a word borrowed from Basic) on Spree, officially recognizing Spree’s talents as a medical professional. A year later, Spree expressed his ambition to share his talents with the rest of the galaxy to the Canir. After much debate, he was finally given a Blessing of the Hives and commenced his journey towards using his talents to heal everyone in need.
Doctor of the Galaxy
The Witch Doctor
Prior to leaving his home, Spree purchased a used YT-1300, the likes of which he named the Witch Doctor. During his travels, it has housed many sorts of medical equipment and droids. The Witch Doctor is also where Spree makes his home, living in a customized captain's quarters with furniture and sleeping accommodations designed for a creature of his shape and size to live comfortably. Additionally, the pilot's chair in the cockpit has also been modified for his large abdomen and extra legs.
Prior to his employment at Xucphra, Spree also obtained a "first mate" of sorts--an R3 series astromech droid named R3-H8. "Arthree" served as a co-pilot and security enforcer during Spree's travels. Currently, the droid continues to serve its master.
Freelance work
For years Spree wandered the galaxy, taking employment from several small companies and private armies as a surgeon, a doctor, and a deliveryman. Throughout his travels, he visited Alderaan, Glee Anselm, Corellia, and finally Lorell.
During that time, he managed to accrue a small number of rare flora which he currently keeps in a controlled-environment greenhouse. In addition to his own small supply of alazhi, kavam, and ambori--the three main ingredients of bacta. In addition, he also keeps a private supply of bactade, a chalky tasting, edible form of bacta.
After working on his own for three years, Spree was finally contacted by the bacta-producing company Xucphra. His employment began year 14, day 87.
Xucphra
Spree was hired by Xucphra, the medical branch to the Mecrotica Conglomerate, on day 87 of year 14. He continues to work for them as a bacta farmer, deliveryman, and surgeon.
Early on in his career, Spree obtained a 2-1B surgical droid from his company as a medical assistant and companion to chat with during long hyperspace routes. "Toowonbee" has been with him ever since.
Personality
- "One *click* whiskey and sugar *buzz*, and please *click* put a straw in it."
- — Dr. Spree Razzix
Spree is well-educated and bi-lingual. He speaks both his native tongue: Vratix, which is essentially a click-tongue language, and Basic. Vratix (the language), is a combination of clicks and body color changes. He is able to change his color using special hairs which line his body--they change color primarily to express linguistic information, but they often convey extra-linguistic information like mood.
His fluency with Basic isn't the best however, as he rarely understands metaphors. When trying to speak the language, he is famous for *click*ing, an obvious artifact of his true native language. Many individuals may find his strange, but they'll learn to get used to it... he hopes.
Skills & Talents
Medicine
Dr. Razzix has spent almost his whole lifetime studying medicine. He has experience in several different fields including surgery and pharmacology. His side skills, talents, and interests tend to be related to those three fields.
Xenoanatomy
Spree studies alien anatomies and, although he has never done any formal work on xenoanatomy, he pursues his interest recreationally through non-invasive observation of organisms while they are in non-lethal combat. He is currently employed as the Director of Surgery at Xucphra Corporation.
Chemistry
- "I had *click* some left over alazhi and *buzz* lemon juice, so I mixed it *click* with some miscellaneous spices and *buzz* nerf tongue I had *click* in my refrigerator. It is still *buzz* marinading, but it will *click* taste very good in an hour or so once the *buzz* juices and spices have soaked in."
- — Dr. Spree Razzix
Although a creature devoted primarily to practicing medicine, Spree also has a few other skills and talents which have aided him from time to time. While not a licensed chemist, Spree does dabble in mixing bacta (or its edible derivative known as bactade) with non-medical substances in controlled settings in order to test the effects. His most "famous" achievement in this field is the Bacta Martini, a beverage of his own creation. The Bacta Martini combines the potency and inebriating effects of alcohol with the healing effects of bactade. His work resulted in a beverage that heals the consumer as if they had ingested bactade, but still gets the consumer drunk.
