- The Dalek looks like, well hmmm, he looks like a Dalek. If you know
- what a Dalek is, you know what the Dalek looks like (except that
- his normal Dalek sidearm has been replaced by a highspeed peanut gun.)
-
- If you don't know what a Dalek is, well, here we go-
- The Daleks are a race of cyborgs from the planet Skaro. Originally they
- were a humanoid race called the Kaleds, but thanks to a dirty nuclear
- war they mutated into a nasty looking crab thing about the size of a cat.
- Davros, a mad Kaled scientist, built robotic shells to contain there
- creatures, and the results were the Daleks. Davros also genetically
- engineered the creatures such to remove all postive emotions.
- (The Dalek is of course an exception, having had the positive emotion
- part of his brain reactivated be the influence of Callahans place.)
-
- Physically, Daleks are about five feet tall and resemble nothing as
- closely as old fashioned salt shakers. They have three appendages, one an
- eye stalk at the top, the second a manipulator arm that looks kind
- of like a plunger, and the third normally an energy weapon.
-
- In RL of course the Dalek (aka David J. Snyder) possesses none of these
- traits. He is nineteen, about 6'4, has usually dishevilled brown hair
- (which inevitably needs cutting) and is studying computer science at a
- well-known Ivy League University.
-
- Both Daleks were born on 13 April 1973 and both have undetermined
- favorite drinks. (The RL one hasn't decided, and the virtual one
- is still working on finding a way to get alcohol into his nutrional
- intake centers.)
