"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 -19, day 86.

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 on a ranch he owns in the Tolonda sector. 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 contacted the bacta-producing company Xucphra, looking for a steady job. 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 the Director of Surgery.

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.

Vehicles, Ships, Droids, and Equipment

As Spree has continued to make a name for himself in the Galaxy, he has accumulated many entities. Here are a few with the most impact on his life.

Toowonbee

"There is no doubt about it, Doctor. We are both brilliant medical professionals with an extensive knowledge of at least half a dozen sub-fields of medicine under our belt... too bad you have as many guts as that cadaver."

— Toowonbee

Toowonbee

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. With a dry and tactless wit, the droid is essentially Spree's foil. The two of them, while both incredibly talented and valuable with medical matters, do not always get along in everyday conversation. That being said, the pair share a reasonably strong friendship to the point where the droid voluntarily took a blaster bolt to the chest, shielding its master from harm. The droid has since been rebuilt and made a full recovery. While others would be negatively scarred by the experience of "dying", Toowonbee has come to the realization that he is essentially invincible. He has since adopted an ever-increasing fearless personality, scoffing at the sound of danger and showing no concern for its own safety.

Purity

"Just take the win man. You just scored an entire ship!"

— Dr. Tenten Rin

During a period between day 280 and 300 during Year 14, Spree was a passenger on the GR-75 transport Purity as an advising doctor for a small medical team who were on their way to a diagnostic medicine conference in Corellia. The trip, however, proved to be much more than a leisurely trip. Midway through the ship’s journey through hyperspace, a mysterious airborne pathogen caused most of the crewmembers and passengers to become mindless, mob-mentality-driven zombies. Spree and a Thyferran doctor named Tenten Rin spent hours slaving over an antidote while locked inside a medical bay surrounded by zombies.

Sometime during the process, Dr. Rin began to show symptoms of the virus while taking a nap. Spree restrained the sleeping man using far too many binders and a backboard. His companion pacified, Spree set off to throw a large canister newly synthesized antidote into the ship’s main air circulator. Bashing his way through horde after horde of zombies, Spree arrived at the air circulator and dumped the healing agent in. The ordeal, having ended with nearly zero casualties and the embarrassment of Dr. Rin, brought Purity’s elderly captain to realize that he was not as capable of running the transport anymore. Through an act of great generosity, he gave Spree ownership of Purity as a ‘thank you’. Spree, about to protest, was restrained by his newfound Thyferran friend, telling him: “Just take the win man! You just scored an entire ship!”

Currently, Purity is an active participant in Spree’s ever-growing fleet. It is utilized mostly as a transport for medical items and to store Spree’s sandcrawler.

Francesca

"It is louder *click* than you."

— Spree, to Toowonbee

A stark difference to Spree's peaceful nature, 'Francesca' is Spree's weapon-of-choice. After finding himself in several different situations where being armed would deter hostile individuals, the Vratix went weapon shopping. As he browsed the Holonet auction sites, databases, and vendor booths, Spree realized that his choices were severely restricted due to his hand's strange proportions. Finally, Spree came upon the Stouker Concussion Rifle. The weapon was large enough to accommodate his lanky, four-fingered hands while also being incredibly menacing. Correctly dubbed the 'hand cannon', a Stouker is incredibly powerful and dangerous. It utilizes compressed sound waves to tear away at any individual foolish enough to find themselves on the wrong end of the barrel. While impressed with these credentials, Spree was most interested in the weapon's menacing appearance. Just by holding it aloft, Spree has most certainly nipped firefights at the bud.
