Mott Moz

Mott is a twelve-year-old Bolian boy living on Frontier Station. He was raised on Ayo in Celladore City by cousins of his mother, Avi Moz.

=Physical Description= Mott is 11 (going on 12) and has blue skin, sticky-out-ears, and a head of short black hair which is typical of Bolian children. A ridge bifurcates his body stem to stern. He's of average height for his age, about 5 foot, and slender.

=Personality & History= Mott Moz was born on Bolarus IX in 2369 and is a member of the Moz clan. He was raised for most of his life by a cousin (once removed), also of the Moz clan, and her spouse in the port city of Celladore on the planet Ayo. He was raised in typical Bolian values but he's also distinctly third culture. He's curious and friendly like most Bolians and has internalized at least a rudimentary understanding of the Bolar Tanteba, the Bolian hospitality spirituality. But he's also necessarily adaptable, and independent.

Mott struggles with identity. For most Bolians, family/clan connection is deeply important and he feels like he doesn't really know where he comes from. While it's not uncommon for Bolians to be "raised by the village" it's rare to be far from family either physically or emotionally. Mott's relative isolation has caused him some struggle. His cousin did her best, but some things out of her control made travel to Bolarus IX difficult.

In Celladore he was largely unsupervised and got into some trouble for trying to pick-pocket or scam tourists to get money and sweets even though he and his family were perfectly financially stable. His antics were never malicious or harmful, but definitely pesky.

He's deeply interested in a thousand things claiming to be 'banging' in chemistry and biology. He very curious and wants to know how everything works. Whether he knows it or not he's a skilled manipulator of grown-ups, seeming to know just what to say to win their affection. He lies easily, often impulsively.

In 2801 he obtained passage from Celladore to Frontier Station in search of his mother.
