He grew up in an orphanage on Earth, choosing his last name because of the road upon which the building happened to be on. He does not know his origins, or even what his species is.

Blue skin is all that makes him different from humans. He has similar dietary needs and practically the same medical anatomy, although his heart and lungs are one centimeter farther down in his body than a typical human, but this provides no medical complications. He has black hair, hazel eyes, and a scar on his left hand from when he accidentally dropped a soldering iron, leaving the scarred skin lighter than the rest.
