Dr. Walters

"Dr. Reines, I was working on the computers and needed some space so I deleted all of your experiment files. Hope you didn't need them..."--Dr. Walters shortly before being inexplicably electrocuted.

Dr. Walters is a bumbling research scientist on board the Muffin who's primary job appears to be 'being a pain in Dr. Reines' backside.'

Biography


Early Childhood
Since Walters was a child liked to ask people random question like: `Do you know what a Purcel is?' He never understood that he was only annoying and he was actually only speaking of stuff he could not understand. Yet, he grown thinking that he was smart and that becoming a scientist was a reasonable choice.

Secondary Education
He got his degree in Social Sciences with lowest possible score, some says he could get it because teachers did not wanted to see him anymore. But blinded by his pride he thinks that the teachers never understood its genius and that they were unable of doing their job right.

2350 and Beyond
Dr. Walters was working as researcher with a team of scientists in the University of Naples: the other scientists become quickly annoyed of his arrogance and incompetence. One of them had connection with the Alliance and found him a job as Medic on the Muffin: he happily accepted to work in a place were he could express his intelligence and gumption, after all Medicine Science is easy. He likes Belinda, but he thinks she is not so good as Medic.


Personality Traits
He is incompetent and unable to see it: he thinks he is a genius. Of course this causes that everyone dislike him.



Associations


Belinda would like him removed form the crew, or dead, whichever.
