Super anxiety prone bat-raccoon thing with a focus on the hard sciences. (Carpenter is the closest thing to astrophysicist or engineer soooo.)
Rodney likes really big bathtubs, bed-nests, caffeine, deep water, fixing things, and when people listen to him.
Handling all of the repairs of the floating city-island Nouveua Atlantis alongside his sister-friend Meredyyd, Rodney keeps the floating pile of rubbage and scavenged parts from falling apart or floating away or sinking into the deeps and hitting up against Oceandome. Having to withstand the attention of other pirates, hurricanes, and whirlpools caused by the Great Serpents, their work is never ending to keep the city together.
Coming from parts far away, Rodney is one of the many demographics making up the small artificial island and can most often be found rushing somewhere with his tools shouting for people to get out of his way.
He is flightless due to an accident and his wings act more as stabilizing counterweights or very large claw-hands. Hypoglycemic so if you have snacks he will likely follow you around.

Trophies
*she pulls a bag of almonds from her fur, offering him some*
Oh, absolutely. That and 'Thank Goodness'. Those are my favourite..
What kind of things do you make? Do you fix things more often, or create for yourself? I've never been too good at creating things, just taking care of birds.
*she gives a bright smile*
Yes! They can talk. Well, Angelo can chat a little bit, and Robbie can whistle tunes from Wicked. Sunny just likes to scream, but it's not a scared scream, it's just how she talks. Angelo likes to tell you how his day is, and usually it's 'Good how was yours'.
They take them very carefully out of your paw, I promise, they really don't want to bite you out of spite.
*she can't help but laugh*
Yeah, I've never been able to take care of plants either. I'm better with animals because they'll tell me when they need something. You can't even cuddle plants.
But I promise, you can't hurt these guys unless you're meaning to. You don't even have to have them on your hand, you can just give them a couple almonds if you want to; it's their favourite snack. Or give them a pet on the head.
Yeah, Robbie gets very nervous when he's by himself for long periods of time. That's why I keep him with Angelo and Sunny; they get along so well..
*she paws at her cheek without thinking about it, feeling guilty about making the conversation about her and her birds*
You know, I'm never very good at paying attention to whether others are interested in my birds or not. Please don't feel like you have to humour me, I know birds make some antsy and that some don't care about birds that much. If you'd like to talk about something else, I'm all ears!
At least they're being confiscated from where they were being illegally held and getting transported to better homes that will take care of them. They have really sensitive systems and have to be cleaned every day and carefully monitored.
And I'm glad you'll visit them, they really enjoy company. Though, one of my birds is a bit nippy. That's Angelo, he's a big moluccan cockatoo, and he's bright pink. The other two, Sunny and Robbie, are very nice and will sit on your hand if you offer it. Sunny is a sunset conure that has a small crush on Angelo and Robbie is a Goffin's cockatoo that has a bad habit of plucking out his feathers.
Oh, no no, I don't breed them. It's too much stress on them to raise fledglings all the time, and it greatly reduces the amount of calcium in their systems and could potentially lead to death. Of course, only if they're constantly laying eggs..
Would you maybe like to meet my birds? I'm taking care of three wonderful birds, they're either sick or old. It's sort of like a hospice for birds, I take in birds that are on their last leg- No pun intended! -but I take them in and feed them and wash them with the extra care they need.
Oh, I have a couple in my little hut-type-thing(??). I've never done a formal study, but I used to be acquainted with a young goat who knew tons about birds and taught me about them, and that just made me want to learn even more. I've met African Greys before, and they are so compassionate, they love to hold your paw and cuddle it.
*!! the excitement from being asked about birds!! you can literally see her get all floofy because she get so goddang excited. be careful she can babble for hours about birds.*
Oh, I love all kinds of birds. Tropical birds, domestic birds, tall birds, small birds. I especially love cockatoos and macaws, because they're pretty intelligent and they look so beautiful when they fly with their feathers all splayed out.
*doesn't really understand, but enjoys the enthusiasm and energy from him a lot*
Wow. I don't know much about engineering, but I can imagine talking about a topic you're really passionate about for hours. That's like me and birds....
But anyways, that's so cool you'd be willing to date an alien. I think I'd date them if they were nice.
*really wants to talk, but is pretty shy and doesn't know what to talk about with this apparently super smart bat*
(hi can i spell 'Really Dumb and Shy' any better than this? i dont think so)
(Glad I could be of assistance, and I totally didn't mean to respond with Casey! Absolute poppycock-ery on my end, I'm sorry oh my goodness. Tbh, Gizmo has snacks a-plenty hidden in her fur [it's wrapped, don't worry])
Well I'd be more than glad to give up my Starbucks gold card, I need to stop getting so much pumpkin bread all the time. Have you really met an alien? Were they nice? I hope you shared your dankest memes, we don't want upset aliens in our midst.
