Name: Jendai Kaalae
Parents: A robot arm and a tube... I suppose
Siblings: none
Race: Irken
Class: Student
Job: Head Mechanic of a prestigious workshop on Irk
Gender: Male
Age: 34

Description: He's tall, 5'7" with blue eyes and olive green skin. Looks skinny, but is surprisingly athletic and strong. Wears the usual black gloves and boots, black pants with blue designs, and a shirt with all shades of blue. His little back... pod.. thing is also black with blue spots. Jendai's legs are paralyzed so he walks around on the spider-like ones from his pod thingy. In his human disguise, he keeps the blue eyes and thinness, and has a darker complexion with blonde hair. While being "human" he also wears a longer coat which is dark blue, jeans and a black shirt.

Likes: Working on various mechanical projects of his, ketchup and lettuce sandwiches, earth drinks, Creed, Lifehouse, The Calling, and most other human music that's either dark or romantic. He is also a wonderful cook and enjoys doing so for anyone brave enough to try his experiments. Zim is considered a friend because of various incidents and a tragedy they experienced together. Jendai's closest friend was Tallest Purple until Purple became... well, tall.

Dislikes: Most humans, the Soldier Class of Irkens, Tallest Red, the Doom Song and the evil earth water. He avoids airplanes like the plague, can't stand boy bands or Brittany Spears, and has a general distrust of automobiles.

Good Qualities: His loyalty to his Class-students-is a large one. Other good qualities are his dependability and his skill with all things mechanical. Jendai can be very lighthearted when he wants to be, and is also a very "down-to-earth" Irken. His often misguided trust steadfastly refuses to harm an ally, even if they have betrayed him.

Bad Qualities: After a series of events which left him scarred for life, Jendai often has severe bouts of depression, most of which involve suicide attempts. He also has anger issues and it is not uncommon for him to have random fits of violence against a chair or some other object, or a very long cussing streak. Despite his normally placid appearance, this is one Irken you do not want to anger. Unfortunately for him, Jendai possesses a too-trusting nature which has gotten him into trouble more than once.

Role: Banished to any planet he could get to, Jendai was on earth before Zim. He mainly hangs around with the person who rescued him, Merana Sali, fixing things-such as the evil toaster-and doing other odd jobs to repay her. One of these jobs is to bring other banished/lost/captured aliens to the duo's home for her to patch up, then send on their way.

Weapons: Jendai mainly uses his fists, and those are usually enough to get the job done. He has been known to build a lazer gun given the appropriate materials and amount of time...

Pet(s): none

History: Born into the Student Class of Irk, Jendai was raised in a standard Student Nursery where he met a young Purple and became best friends with. The two met when Purple-then called Kasden-was attacked and beaten by those of the Soldier Class. Jendai was able to rescue him and as a precaution against further beatings, they used an old Irken legend to trade blood and become blood brothers, which enabled them to "feel" the other. Jendai was then assigned to the Mechanic job set, learning under an Irken named Daske Kaalae, while Purple was chosen to be a Scholar with a teacher named Swar Aman. A few years later, Purple became Tallest and Jendai felt abandoned. He tried to take his own life but was saved by the intervention of Daske Kaalae and a young Irken named Kaml. Kaml adopted Jendai as his best friend and the two were then inseparable. Daske eventually died of old age, and Jendai took on the last name Kaalae in her absence. When they grew older, Jendai met his first love, the scientist Leeri Olon and fell in love with her. Life went normally until Jendai was assigned a Student of his own. Secretly, Leeri had become a member of the Coalition, an order of Students secretly going against the Soldier Class and the Tallests themselves. Leeri created a serum that would make an Irken with a certain type of blood grow taller. She used this on Jendai in hopes of making him a single Almighty Tallest. This is what caused him to grow to his current height of 5'7" and got him banished. Leeri was executed for treason and Jendai's student took the name Kaalae so his teacher would not be forgotten. Jendai made his way to Earth where he crashed and was shot by a human, paralyzing him. The mechanic was rescued by Merana and healed. He continued to live with her and love her after she stopped him from killing himself again... Fourteen years later, he ran into Zim and thus began the story called "Collateral Damage"

Greatest Fear: Planes and cars are his obvious fears. The more subtle phobia is that he will be forgotten by everyone he cared for back on Irk. Even deeper is the fear of being rejected by someone he cares for very deeply... or losing her forever.

Crushes: His first and most true love was the Irken Leeri Olon, a scientist of the Student Class. After her death and his banishment, Jendai fell in love with the being who pulled him out of his wrecked Voot Runner and did not let him die even when he tried to. He now secretly loves Merana, although he fears she does not feel the same way towards him.

Most Prized Possessions: The day he was banished, Jendai was given a box in which to keep his old Student Uniform, his journal and several pictures of this friends. This was given to him by Tallest Purple. Jendai now keeps the box with him wherever he goes as a sort of good-luck charm and as a way to remember his friends and loved ones.
