.. Dodge.

One of my newer characters. :]
I actually created him months ago but didn't upload anything of him.

-- History/story:
He is an alien created by other aliens. His function was to search and gather information on other planets.
Unfortunately, the aliens decided they no longer wanted him and left him on the next planet they looked at - Earth.

He got his name from a car badge. When he was left behind he started scuttling around by himself, found a Dodge pick-up truck and manged to locate the badge ... then pulled it off because he liked it.
Professor Hill, owner of said truck, returned to find Dodge sitting on his hood/bonnet looking at his now detatched car badge.
Luckily, Professor Hill wasn't -that- weirded out by it and with Dodge being friendly, he took him home. Intending to call someone to come and get him but he took a shine to him - and Dodge took a shine to the Professor's nephew Sam.
Dodge now lives with Sam most of the time, they became almost like best friends.

-- Information:
In size he's about the size of a large cat/hare/wallaby.
He's super smart, with a brain capable of being as fast as any computer.
He's very curious and inquisitive about everything. Nothing seems boring to Dodge.
He likes to collect things and horde them, almost like he has OCD.
He can't speak. For whatever reason, he has no voice BUT he can understand any language. He communicates by using pictures or body movements. (Think - charades).
He does have small claws which are incredibly strong and shaped like fish hooks which enables him to climb almost anywhere, including ceilings sometimes.
He's rather strong for his size. Not immensely strong but stronger than you'd think.
He can see in the dark.
His body is extremely bendy, enabling him to squeeze through small spaces unharmed.
He also heals from injuries much faster than we do.
I keep saying "he" but actually, "he" has no gender. None than anyone can figure out anyway. It is generally accepted that "he" is a he though.
