Gold Rush

Gold Rush is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Jwarshallian Aurumite from the planet Suttill.
==Appearance==
Gold Rush is a stout humanoid alien with a rounded body structure comparable to an goblin, akin to Jury Rigg, with pale brown skin, scruffy hair, large spiked ears, brightly glowing yellow star-shaped eyes, and four large yellowed teeth of different sizes and lengths, two on each side of his mouth. He has very long arms ending with four-fingered hands tipped with sharp black nails, short legs with long feet, and a thin tail that ends with a pair of silver blades resembling the head of a pickaxe. Gold Rush wears an old-fashioned mining uniform, complete with a red bandana wrapped around his neck, gray and red overalls, and tan and black shoes with buckled leather straps.
Gold Rush wears the Simplicitrix on his chin, partially obscured under his beard.
==Powers==
*Gold Rush is an extremely effective miner regardless of any external equipment or tools required for excavation, capable of burrowing and digging through dirt and rock at extreme speeds with nothing but his two bare hands, while the pickaxe-like blades on the end of the tail are strong enough to chip and chisel through tough stone.
*Gold Rush can accurately judge and identify the purity of minerals through biting down on them and "tasting" them as if they were edible food, while his glowing eyes can visually perceive their luster, allowing him to locate objects with even the slightest bit of shine to them.
*Gold Rush has enhanced durability, speed, agility, and stamina, the latter of which more than enough he can last days within cramped areas and spaces underground with minimal levels of sleep, if any rest at all.
*Gold Rush has natural resistance towards those capable of terrakinesis, such as earth and rock manipulation, thanks to his adaptability towards subterranean environments, allowing him to rapidly carve through rocky defenses and tunnel out of artificially made holes.
==Weaknesses==
*Gold Rush is extremely sensitive towards iron pyrite, as tasting so under the false assumption it may be gold will make him very ill.
*Gold Rush mines slower and slower the more durable and harder material he tries digging through, taking hours if not days to tunnel through stone that would normally need to be drilled through with heavy construction equipment.
==Etymology==
*Gold Rush's name refers to a rapid movement of people to a newly discovered goldfield in the pursuit of riches, referencing his affinity for mining and his shiny star-shaped eyes.
*Gold Rush's species name is a play on James W. Marshall, an American carpenter and sawmill operator who was the first to reportedly find gold inside California, and "aurum," the Latin word for gold.
*Gold Rush's planet name is a play on Sutter's Mill, a water-powered sawmill where Marshall first struck gold, which also sounds like the word "subtle" as a literal subtle reference to its namesake.
==Trivia==
*Gold Rush's design was made using Grick from Ben 10: Omniverse.
