David Kelok

David Kelok began life as a character from a badfic in the Stargate Atlantis canon, which was PPC'd by Miah Arthur and Cali Still. He was a character replacement for Todd the Wraith, and was, at first, known as Not!Todd. Not!Todd's only purpose in the fic was to serve the whims of the Sue. Agent Miah decided that as his only offense was existing, that it would be preferable to recruit him rather than kill him.

Appearance
In his home fic he wears his hair in a braid, and enjoys it being brushed. As he recovered from the Suefluence he had been under, he adopted a more standard Wraith hairdo. He has not yet been able to completely free himself of the immense pleasure he gets from having his hair brushed. He has tattoos running down each side of his body from the sides of his head to his ankles with a gap over his hips. He also has ridges of bone that, although apparently covered by skin, still stick out quite noticeably from the rest of his back. They are sensitive to touch, but do not cause pain when he is on his back. His skin is extremely pale with a greenish cast to it. He has a pit on each cheek. His eyes are more deeply set than a typical humans. His eyes have slit pupils and yellow irises. They reflect light in the dark, and give him thermal vision abilities. His hair is pure white, and he keeps a goatee that grows from a soul patch under his lip, and is split on either side of his chin with no hair in the middle. He likes to wear a lot of black leather.

Wraith default characteristics the Sue did not mess with
He has a feeding slit on his right hand, and uses it to inject the victim with a feeding enzyme that keeps them alive longer during the feeding, then to suck the life out of them, leaving only a dry brown, mummified-looking corpse. He is much stronger and faster than all but a very few humans. He has massive healing and regenerative powers. So long as he is properly fed he will never die of old age, disease, or even rather serious injuries. He is intelligent, and he should be competent as both a scientist and a tracker. He should also be adept in hand to hand combat. He is good with advanced technology. He has fairly powerful telepathy that allows him to project ghost images into humans minds as a distraction during battle--trained minds or those particularly resistant to suggestion are immune to this effect. He cannot read thoughts, but can tell the intentions of the person he is concentrating on, such as if they are bluffing.

Personality and Skills
His personality is really that of a large teddy bear. He is very quiet and calm, even to the point of being relatively emotionless. He has no ambition to take over the world. He has been caught being nervous and hesitant--both characteristics for which he would normally be killed by his fellow Wraith. He likes to read. He speaks, reads, and writes Wraith and several unspecified languages native to the Pegasus Galaxy humans, which are all variations on Ancient. He is very patient with annoying people who ask stupid questions. Due to the Suefluence he was created under, he is very knowledgeable of humans including their body language and physical needs. He does not freely share with anyone that he still retains many of the un-Wraith like desires for physical-not sexual-touch with which he was burdened in his original fic. He has, however, recovered from the Suefluence enough to not currently desire to have sex with his food. He is still rather shaken about the events in the story that led up to his being recruited, still has nightmares, and is still required to make regular visits to FicPsych. Because his Suethor warped his biology and the Hive ship environment, he requires regular sleep cycles, and prefers dry, cool environments.

History
Since he is a Todd replacement, he has memories of over 10,000 years and of helping to defeat the Ancients, but they are like fuzzy shadows. His real memories are of only the year or so that passed during his home fic, and his undefined time in HQ. It is difficult to say when in canon this story is supposed to be set. This could have been set before he suffered through years of torture and near starvation at the hands of Kolya of the Genii, before he met and formed a special bond with Lieutenant Colonel John Shepherd, and before he had ever heard of Earth and the Milky Way. During the time that the canon character Todd is known to Earthlings of canon, it is very unlikely that he ever stayed for most of a year on a single Hive ship. His ships were destroyed with distressing regularity, and even the Sue would have noticed being vaporized. David Kelok has explored this issue in sessions at FicPysch, and due to the hazy nature of the memories he inherited from Todd, the real answer cannot be determined. At times rather disturbing flashbacks and nightmares overtake him that involve a man that could be Kolya, but as Todd has a lot of backstory that isn't covered by canon, it can't be determined decisively.

Recruitment and Early Days in the PPC
When Miah and Cali pointed out the Suefluence he had been under, and he began to see the situation clearly, he went into a deep state of shock--he was completely unable to psychologically cope with the things the Sue had forced him to feel and do. After he was safely in HQ, Agent Miah took him to FicPsych. After the initial shock wore off, he was able, with therapy, to gradually come to terms with his experiences, though he has been left with a fierce hatred of Mary Sues.

In studying his Wraith biology, Medical determined that while the occasional consumption of a Sue or Generic human should not cause harm, that it would not be viable long term. Agent Eileen, one of HQ's resident mad scientists, experimented on helped David and managed to activate his digestive system, so he can eat human style food. (Wraith have a fully developed, human style digestive system, but it loses the ability to function when they reach puberty.) However, he must take regular doses of a compound known as bob. If he doesn't then there will be some rather unfortunate side effects, such as immediate baldness, loss of the ability to say anything other than "Wugga wugga woo!", and becoming extremely irrational.

Partner and RC
He has recently been partnered with Unger, a D & D half-elf barbarian, but they have not yet obtained an RC. It is possible that they will be assigned the the Department of Implausible Crossovers.
