Snoogiewoogielar "TAG"

"IT IS NOT!"--TAG in reference to his antenna being like a mood ring.

Snoogiewoogielar or TAG (short for Token Alien Guy) is a representative of the Nuzzalari science council on board the Muffin and the Muffin's Chief Science Officer. He wears his heart on his sleeve, or rather on top of his head as his antenna changes color to reflect strong emotions. He tries to maintain a cold and even temper as not to allow a change to his antenna but he betrays his emotions far often than he would like. He is often sarcastic and snide but respects his Captain regardless of how he might act.

Biography


Early Childhood

Snoogiewoogielar was born to one of the elite science families of the Nuzzalari, as was expected of those in his clan he began his scientific studies early and did well in all of his studies. Throughout his life he retained a curiosity and interest in travel which was mostly encouraged by his people. His desire to interact with other races, however was less encouraged as Nuzzalari feel that most other races are inferior. Snoogiewoogielar, however overcame this and began a long career of interacting with the myriad of races in the universe. He found himself most at home with members of Alliance worlds and he soon petitioned his government to allow him to serve aboard Alliance Starships.
