Mendel

Mendel is a demon geneticist who features in the (yet unwritten) Hades story arc. He may make occasional appearances at Pro in non-continuity boards, if his author is feeling particularly mischievous.

Appearance

Mendel has no one habitual form. He cannot be assumed to be humanoid.

Like most genies, he is often to be found wearing various appendages of unusual function with which he is experimenting (biological radio-wave receptors, ceramic electrical armouring or poison strips, anyone?). He can resemble a Frankenstein's monster of sorts, if Frankenstein had had access to the listings of Collic's Modern Bestiary.

Typical quotations

• "What do you think: the interlocked scale, the fishskin or something jointed in chitin?"
• "Could you try to stab me please?"
• "Roll two d17."
• "Oh, it's you. Put your finger here, would you?"

Personality

Mendel is friendly and generally non-harmful, though he does enjoy the odd irregular practical joke. He fits some of the classic stereotypes of a geek, although he cannot speak Klingon.
