Umbra the Echidna

This is an article about Umbra the Echidna, a character created by Maryxgil on 06/3/2013.

Umbra is Moon's father and a Nocturnus scientist. Moon lived with him up until she became a soldier. He is still living, although in the Twilight Cage and is 60 years old.

Personality
Umbra is a bit timid and soft-spoken. A hardworker, he is good at his job. However, he's not always sure of himself and sometimes won't speak up even if he really does know the answer. He is very caring and always puts others before himself, sometimes working too hard because of it.

He is quiet and usually keeps to himself, though he's perfectly willing to talk about his interests, namely science. Despite not saying much normally, if he finds himself in a teaching situation he will speak rather enthusiastically. He gets very excited about scientific things, but he does realize that there isn't always a scientific explanation for everything.

As a father, he was always kind and supportive of his children. He was especially close to Moon and always encouraged her, even if that meant her going off to war like her mother did.

Appearance
He is an orange echidna with pale orange stripes horizontally down his dreadlocks like Moon's. He has grey hair on his head and wears glasses and a lab coat. Under his lab coat he wears black pants and light blue boots.

Abilities
Unlike his wife and kids, Umbra was not trained in combat. Thus he lacks any real offensive abilities outside of his own resourcefulness. He does know a few self defense moves though that Starlight taught him.

His true abilities are his intelligence and scientific knowledge. He is an expert in the field having worked in it for many years and he knows much about technology due to how much the Nocturnus were into it. He knows how to work with robots, weapons, and armor as well as computers. Mathematics are another thing he's good at.
