## Yohannes

**Yohannes the Tenrec** is a member of the Efrika Egg Army, and serves under Efrika Sub-Boss Kerion Croc of the Shifting Sands Egg Base.

## Physical Description

A slim, perpetually nervous-looking tenrec who stands a little over three feet tall, Yohannes has a somewhat short muzzle with an oblong nose, short, relatively soft quills on the back of his head that droop downwards, fairly large, elliptical ears with a notch missing from the right one, and a long, slim tail covered in short fur.

His fur is primarily pansy purple in color, with a Navajo white muzzle, inner ears, chest, and stomach. He has no hair on his head, instead having a tuft of longer fur, and his eyes are Persian blue in color. He also has a large scar over his left eye, inflicted by an enraged Kerion.

Yohannes wears the standard Efrika Egg Soldier fatigues, which consists of a long sleeve top with white cuffs, white stripes down the arms, and a zipper down the front, as well as white gloves, black pants, and boots.

## Abilities

With the Cybernetic enhancements to his upper body, Yohannes now has shocking physical strength for his size and stature, being able to lift almost 800 lbs. over his head and throw punches strong enough to shatter large stones. His ears are very keen, and he is also quite fast and nimble.

However, he is far too nervous and conflict-avoidant to make an effective combatant, as he would much rather run away from a fight, even if he could reasonably handle it thanks to his greatly improved upper body strength. He's a respectable shot with his laser rifle, but, again, he'd prefer not having to even use his weapon in the first place.

### Extreme Gear: <unnamed>

The Extreme Gear that Yohannes predominantly uses to travel around the outside of the Shifting Sands Egg Base.

### Strengths/Resistances

Yohannes has no specific resistances to any Elements or energy-types. He is quite fast, and can easily outpace slower foes and evade their attacks.

### Weaknesses

Yohannes has no specific weaknesses to any Elements or energy-types. His defenses aren't anything special, therefore he mostly relies on his agility to try and evade potentially devastating attacks.

## Friends and Foes

## Personality

Two words are often used to describe Yohannes; 'nervous wreck'. He always seems ready to panic at the drop of a hat, and his anxiety is only worsened by having to live under Kerion's cruel fist; the Sub-boss even seems to enjoy actively antagonizing Yohannes.

He rarely talks to the other Egg Soldiers, and doesn't seem to make any effort in socializing with them; the only exception to this rule is Tinashe the Fox, whom he is very close to. This closeness started rumors that the two were dating, but both Yohannes and Tinashe have denied this multiple times. Regardless, there's no denying that the two are thick as thieves.

Yohannes is particularly fond of origami crafts, and they're practically therapeutic for him; doing origami seems to significantly lower his anxiety, and puts him into a rare state of calmness. The only other thing that can accomplish this feat is Tinashe herself.
