Simosan Ypma is a young Nautolan immigrant, currently working at the Sandy Kelp
Description
Always seen dressed sharply in the colors of his employer, his green skin contrasts nicely
with the sharp lines of deep navy blue and gold trim. He takes pride in keeping his white
undershirt clean, despite the hazards of juggling cocktails and shakers. Indeed, it is this
dexterity and an intrinsic knack for knowing what cocktails best suit the mood and palate of
his patrons before they even order that make him a beloved feature of the Kelp’s famous
Counter.
Behind that beaming smile and light-hearted charmer lies a keen mind, however, as his true
potential for Arcona arises from the same skill as his ability to predict beverage preferences.
He has a vivid, encyclopedic knowledge of people, manifesting through their beverage
history, and he can recount individuals’ moods over vast distances of time, along with often
very accurate conjecture as to the nature of their emotional states. If you’re in his good graces, he will part with the information without extra cost, though he does appreciate a tip, but if you happen to have wronged him or he finds you to be of shady motivation, his smiling lips will remain sealed.
History
He left his homeworld to see the stars intent on settling down back home and marrying his childhood sweetheart before taking up apost in his father’s trading company, but some undisclosed event changed his plans. Instead of returning home after his stint of planet hopping was coming to an end, he decided to head out into the farther reaches of space until he stumbled across Arconan territory and Selen. The sunny atmosphere, vast oceans and friendly populace spoke to the young man, who decided to settle, at least for a while, on the sun-kissed beaches of Selen’s tourist district. He quickly gained a job at the Sandy Kelp, and the first year of employment saw him rise from busboy to bartender, mainly on the back of his tirelessly positive outlook and bright, charming smile that sat well with the Kelp’s clientele.
