This is a character from the Tarazet science fiction role-playing far-future game setting.
Captain Spiralcat is a pirate, although he would be the last one to admit it, even to characters that he meets in the game.
He is one of the huge and powerful tiger like aliens found in the game. The Tigron.
These creatures are savage and unpredictable and give even the antiseptic environs of the games space stations and spaceships a touch of primeval horror.
It is not unknown to come across horribly dismembered bodies, ripped and slashed apart by such aliens as a character progresses through the game.
These starnge alien game characters are however able to use and manipulate the most complex technology availavble in the game setting. Their instinct to concentrate and hunt serves them well with modern technology, and they are surprisingly good at any game task to do with searching for information.
Captain Spiralcat is a typical non player character from a role-playing game. Whenever they need transport from one game location to another an NPC such as the good captain can be called on. He is a font of local knowledge and willing to give information in exchange for whatever good stories the player characters may have. He is good natured and friendly unless doublecrossed, when he will of course hunt down the unfortunate character for revenge, popping up with his dangerous smuggler's spaceship when least expected.
