Grease

A player character in the PbP game Daring Tales of the Space Lanes.

"Grease" - Ship's Engineer / Blob

Grease is a polite, sweet-natured blob that the crew found inside their engines after one adventure. Turning out to be a friendly genius with machines and saving their bacon, they made him part of the crew.

Much of his ability derives from actually oozing inside seams and crevices of the machinery itself. He in fact loves to sleep like this and explore strange new machinery. So the crew named him "Grease".

He seems to be a huge mono-cellular organism, possibly a part of a vastly larger being, although no one has ever seen anything similar to his kind. He has complete amnesia about his past, but considers the crew his new family.
