"Go on. Irritate me more. I dare you."
Large, Imposing, Scarred
G'r'dn has been a soldier for a long time now, and has the scars to prove it.
Whatever is happening, G'r'dn seem to have done it before and not been impressed. G'r'dn generally treats their teammates with a sort of irritated forbearance, but will protect them to G'r'dn's last breath.
G'rd'n's comes from a smallish star nation (N'k'th, usually pronounced Naketh), consisting of three planets and a number of outposts. Their government is loosely classified as a parliamentary monarchy, being ruled by a non-hereditary "Queen", aided by a large parliament consisting of (as far as outsiders can tell) any citizens which decide to show up on a given day.
None-the-less, the Hegemony of N'k'th has had hundreds of years of stable and reasonably enlightened rule.
An accident of astrography put N'k'th an the path of the expanding Xebaran Empire, a bitterly xenophobic and warlike species, and over the course of decades the N'k'th have had to turn themselves into warriors, inadvertently protecting the rest of The Civilization in these parts from the Xebara.
The N'k'th have many more genders than two, and an individual may change genders multiple times over the course of their lives. Unless a species has particularly good olfactory senses, telling which gender a N'k'th is at any given time is almost impossible.
N'k'th hatch from eggs.
