Age: 28 (308 earth years)

Species: Interdimensional Lombax  (mutation)

Home Planet: Xeronax

Date of birth: October 8th

Gender: Male

Height: 6 ft

Weight: 146 lbs

Sexual orientation: Unown

Relationship status: Single

Occupation: Former Geneticist and mechanical engineer. Now he's a rouge Bio-Mechanic (a mad scientist)

Abilities/Powers: Since originally he was always naturally good at climbing, he is able to latch onto metal surfaces using the magnetic fields installed into his hands and feet. The metal in his hands and feet are iron based, making it highly magnetic. When not in use the non-magnetic plates in his hands and feet close off, to prevent Crome from getting stuck on random metal surfaces or being dragged off by a stray magnetic field. He is also very nimble, so is able to move quietly most of the time, making him a excellent thief and infiltrator. He is also able to hack into security systems, and download additional data by attaching a cord or slot from his wrist into the device. Crome is able to adapt to environments quickly.

Appearance: He is a deformed lombax with grey unkempt fur. A lot of hair is missing in front of his torso due to burns, his back, head and the scar across his eye. He happens to have unnaturally long, crooked, and sharp teeth and tends to bite himself often by accident. His eyes have heavy bags over them from lack of sleep, and his face is rather boney. His left eye is almost completely faded from the damage he'd received from his scar and his back is almost completely mechanical. It is the most protected part of his body and acts almost like a shell with his upper half of his back. His mechanical parts are covered in sensor nerves so he is able to feel things including pain, his prosthetic body parts being controlled and fueled by blood and transported through a plastic tube through out his body. The tubing is usually covered by protective plating but if severed. He could bleed to death unless treated. His back is lined with vents he uses to hear with since he is deaf and he is able to close and open them. Despite his claws and mechanical attachments looking rather sinister, they're not made for fighting. At most Crome would scratch a chalk board or any rough surface to annoy people. His mechanical body parts aren't accidents, it is part of his original race's creation process. They were untouched during the interdimensional swap since they were mechanical and none organic.
Under his labcoat. He wears a laser-proof vest, since he seems to get shot at all the time from being a wanted criminal and being chased down by bounty hunters often.

Strengths: Crome is highly intelligent, and agile. He is great at fighting strategic/indirectly and analyzing most situations before approaching them. He has good hearing, using infra-sound (how his original species communicated with each other using low frequency sounds by detecting them from small vents in his cybernetic spine)otherwise he is deaf from losing his ability to hear from self-experimentation, during his "Sleeper experiment". He is good at killing in creative ways, mostly by using machines and biological materials. He is a escape artist and mostly excels at close-range combat. Using gadgets, weaponry, and taking samples from the environment to help with most situations.

Weakness: He can act very idiotic despite being a genius, and is rather immature in some situations. Crome is a mutated individual who is physically deaf from losing his hearing instead he has to use the vents lined up in his back to detect sounds, loud sounds can hurt him since they can detect low frequencies. His mutation damaged his taste buds making him only able to taste sweet and salty foods. He has a habit of also accidentally biting himself from his teeth being overly sharp, and large from the norm which causes him to bleed sometimes from the mouth. His left eye is slightly lighter, scratched up, and has some cataracts, however not enough to be blind completely in the eye. This causes him to see less accurate in long range fighting and absolutely fail at shooting guns at a distance. His mental instability causes him to breakdown, and he is sometimes clumsy, and prone to accidents. Crome has problems climbing tall trees without lower branches, he also wears normal boots unlike the enhanced armor everyone else wore so has to take them off to climb properly. Crome is relatively weak in direct fights, so he usually picks on smaller weaker people in order to make himself look tough. Since Crome is physically malnourished, he tires out quickly, but does have random bursts of adrenaline when in life threatening situations. Since Crome is a cybernetic lifeform that has some magnetic components. Exposing the magnetic metal by destroying or removing the plates covering them, will make him vulnerable towards powerful magnets. 
In Crome's mutated and malnourished state, he is very sickly, catching viruses very easily. Most of the time he is very good at hiding how sick he is, though his face and appearance usually give away that he isn't very well anyway. He once and a while will wheeze and cough. While flesh wounds he might be able to heal from but slowly, airborne germs he breathes in is more deadly. Originally he is unable to survive without a life support helmet due to him destroying his immune systems way of detecting threats, however since his mutated DNA stabilized during the switch into another dimension, the nanobots in his blood began being able to somewhat recognize certain threats attacking his body, making him not needing life support any longer.
Crome also has a implant embedded into the side of his head due to a head injure he had gotten when he received his scar across his face. Without it, he is unable to control the muscles in his face. Making him unable to see well and appear extremely derpy looking.

Personality: Crome is a very mean-spirited, sadistic individual who enjoys seeing others in pain. Since he is rather immature and quite a nerd, he will go through drastic measures just to anger people such as cheating in videogames and gambling. Usually using his cunning as a advantage by hacking, smuggling or stealing. Crome is most of the time anti-social, quiet and usually keeps to himself when he isn't being violent, trying to be dominant, and plain on aggressive. Crome is very impulsive with currency so he is almost always broke, and relies on stealing and cheating in order to acquire supplies, mechanical components, food, and a vehicle since he is jobless. Crome lacks empathy, and will kill people without a second thought, being mostly fueled by hatred and a dangerous sense of curiosity. It makes him perform various twisted experiments on his living victims he abducts. Despite his evil immoral tendencies Crome has resisted against tyranny, saved others most for his own gain, showed remorse, and displayed some signs of caring for others. He is also a pyromaniac, randomly setting things and creatures on fire whenever he gets a hold of matches, lighters, or flame based weaponry.

Most of the time it is rare for Crome to kill without reason. It is triggered by him being constantly annoyed, him being bullied, or if he is extremely curious on how a unown species functions. He also is addicted to harming others, causing him to become twitchy and desperate if he's not building, moving his hands or harming someone. This makes him very dangerous if he is deprived of any entertainment that meets his standards since could also kill from being bored after he snaps into a state of complete insanity. Otherwise he will usually avoid people, and hang in a dark corner. In reality he is very self conscience about himself, but he doesn't really show or doing anything about it. He thinks he's a complete failure, and will quietly brood at times, but masks it by making others feel horrible.

Crome hates being touched, and considers most lifeforms inferior to him to make himself feel better. He will never address anyone by their proper title. Instead he will give people insulting nicknames after he had studied their personality for a short time. Usually those that annoy him less and are "likeable" he will give less insulting names and may even sometimes refer them to their proper title. Though it is still insulting by zeri terms (his original race) since respectful titles are usually addressed using last names or half the zeris name. In Zerimite point of view this means Crome respects the person as much as he would respect a pile of dirt or a rock.
Despite his mean personality and dislike of others touching him, he is very manipulative and clingy when he is on a unown alien planet. Easily suffering from culture shock and being confused with taking in all the new things at once. He however is able to adapt to the situation very fast, and within a few days may use people just to acquire information and supplies for his own gain.

Original Biography: Originally a well-known, very high ranking, considered perfect and highly respected scientist of his race, even considered rather kind by some before he began his rampage with "Project-E" and the "Sleeper" experiment. When he was working his first years as a high ranking scientist. He would once and a while sneak a few snacks to the child slaves who served everyone around the city whenever he could. Eventually Crome became addicted to trying to study lifeforms functions and emotions outside hive territory. Since he hated the concept of slavery and himself being contained behind his origanal species ranks, he once and a while disobeyed rules and snuck away from Zerimite territory to study other creatures and even watch their media to gain more knowledge of other species. What most fascinating him was other species way of showing affection and their dreams since his race were artificially created and lacked many emotions and understanding of things. Eventually he started to use slaves since they were the most easily accessed non-zerimite species to study in real time since he had to cut down his time to sneak away in fear of being caught. A fellow high ranking scientist named TrimIsis, attempted to mimic other creatures natural abilities of bonding by creating a bonding chip to install into their brains, decided to share with Crome from seeing him interested in the concept. Trying to find a solution to what Crome was seeking she had grown a fondness to him and attempted to even test the bonding chip with him. But was eventually rejected by Crome not thinking it was enough. Instead he continued experimenting on the slaves. Using them for his first personal experiment he called "Project E" Where he abducted children, and stuck then in transparent cubicals across from a adult. This experiment caused the deaths of 8 subjects.

After Project E, he began finding interest in something else he had noticed during the project E experiment. Where a child will twitch violently and scream in their sleep. Making him become interested in other creatures ability to dream and to attempt to mimic it . He eventually began his "Sleeper" Experiment. But with each attempt at acquiring these other creatures abilities to dream, and understand their strange emotions to feel, he became crazed with not acquiring enough data from his test subjects and resorted to making a hybrid mixture of several species DNA, checking to make sure that it was somewhat compatible with him and injecting himself with it in small doses for years. During his sleeper experiment, he mentally traumatized 5 people making them afraid to sleep. Spreading the word around the slave encampment to "beware the doctor" and making him one of the most feared scientist amongst the the others.

He was eventually caught downloading and stealing files of fellow well known scientists Trimisis, and Azure's research for his further personal experiments. Getting caught in the process and receiving a slave driver to the face. Half blinding him in one eye, causing brain damage, and creating a deep scar across his face. He needed a implant drilled into his head to prevent his face from being paralyzed from nerve damage. The implant caused him to develop headaches often.

Trimisis became angry but forgave him still due to her having strange feelings for him from the chip.

Eventually he started to mutate later on after injecting himself with the mixture he created, which made him lose his hearing, forcing him to rely on infasound to hear. He became ill from simple things such as the common cold. He suddenly became extremely restless, became sterile, and lost additional senses of taste, making eating things less enjoyable. It forced him into a liquid diet at first and he was forced to wear a oxygen mask to prevent himself from dying of sickness. After being locked away in his lab for a very long time. He lost his sanity from the injections destroying his mind along with the isolation, becoming extremely violent and twitchy as he craved to spill others blood for his planned future experiments. However he was too weak to move away from his lab. He was found out about and punished severely.

The skin on his upper body burned off in front of millions and exposing his robotic parts as punishment and thrown into a containment tube for what they assumed he'll be in for the rest of his life. He only had two positives from his experiment. He has gotten a boost in his intelligence, making him able to adapt to many new situations fast, and learn new skills faster. He also can somewhat dream very faint ghostly images but most of the time they are rather haunting, and he may possibly possess the ability to at least get what the emotion of affection is. However since he had sacrificed his perfection, his fame, respect, and important role in his race's population, for his obsession. He was demoted to almost slave status, being the most hated Zerimite in history. 
He became stuck and began to journey deeper into madness from his failed research. He was imprisoned for a year to work unmoving in the tank, until the hive was invaded by aliens known as the Dromik who they had been kept as slaves. As he was being moved to a safer location with a temporarily portable life support which was only a simple oxygen mask. This gave time for his old robot to get in and rescue him. He escaped but in the process lost his robot, which was destroyed trying to keep guards from shooting him and his ship as it left the planet. 

His own race were trying their hardest to track him down, and retrieve him at every cost to prevent the enemy from getting their hands on their knowledge and technology if they were to capture him. Now he constantly is on the move, becoming nomadic and never staying in the same spot for long, stealing, and trying to satisfy his addiction for more and more knowledge even through most gruesome measures. Never sharing due to paranoia of others stealing his work. As 8 years passed, Crome eventually began to slow down with his addiction, rethinking about his choices he had made and wondering if it was worth it and even regretting the fact he had killed people to satisfy his own addiction.

He later met a rebellious Dromik named Rayne who he was later captured with and stuck to with collars. Eventually he started to gain a fondness towards her, despite her first beating him up and hating him. Especially since Crome's development of biological weapons for his evil race were most likely the cause of her families and many of her species deaths.


Lombax AU Biography (Connects with original biography):
During the time with Rayne, Crome began becoming interested in interdimensional possibilities. His tampering and success in creating a dimensional gate went wrong when another scientist, a lombax left behind and now working for a evil markazian known as Zaras Fowl opened a portal at the same time, in exchange to be hidden from Emperor Percival Tachyon until he found a way back home. This caused both occupants on each end to swap places, part of the lombax scientist hair particles got caught in the swap. Altering both Rayne's and Crome's DNA. Zaras being angered that his lombax scientist who had been making his underground army of robots, and unlocking the secrets of interdimensional travel had disappeared. He screeched in rage only to find that another portal had opened due to the readings on the monitors. He sent out his robots to capture and bring back what might had came out of the portal. Kidnapping terrachnoids in the process to help build and continue his expansion from where his scientist left off. Rayne and crome are later found. Rayne is captured, while pushing Crome into a escape pod as she was dispatched and soon placed into cryogenic sleep as Zaras Fowl continues his search for Crome. During the time find found out about his odd changes. He hardly reacted much, besides tossing his helmet off, excited that he could eat solid food now. Walking over and eating something at a nearby snackbar without paying.
