* CryCute: He meets Nate as he's breaking down from being bullied by his brother's assholish SpacePirate colleagues.
* FishEyes: One of his eyes is misaligned on his skull.
* TheGrotesque: While he's hideous by Jornassian standards, he's adorable by ours.
* IntriguedByHumanity: He ''adores'' humans, collecting any memerobilia of them he can find. He also has a shrine to them.
* KitshCollection: Has an extensive collection of human-dolls; some of which he made himself.
* TheWoobie: InUniverse. His life up until he meets Nate is described as "a sea of misery, anxiousness, depression and doubt." Nate immediately swears undying loyalty to him and vows that whoever made him cry will be dealt with severely.

* PalmBloodletting: Their greif-ritual for a male Dorarizin being jilted (the gender dynamic is reversed, with males being courted by females) is to bite his palm until his teeth break. Having a former partner do this is bad enough that the family of the perpetrator turns on her.

* GoodShepherd: They're a theocracy, and thus have a high ammount of priests ''per capita.'' They're also quite nice folk, superstrong-veloceraptor-chicken-men-ness nonwithstanding. They all have the ability to see (and presumably, objectively demonstrate the existance of) the souls of sapient creatures.
* HypotheticalFightDebate: A popular passtime is ''WebAnimation/{{DEATHBATTLE}}''-style arguing "who would win in a fight" between '' their religeon's popes'' ("Diarchs"). This is, strictly speaking, heresy, but since ''literally everyone'' does it (even the current Diarchs), it's not illegal.

[[folder:Juan Esteban]]

One of humanity's first intergalactic colonists, and the inventor of moth-racing. He is a minor character in arc 3 and one of arc 4's protagonists.

----

* FutureBadass: In his first appearance, he was just a little kid whose family were settling an alien planet. Twenty years later, he's an experienced rancher in his own right and a minor celebrity.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: Juan is [=CEO=] of the Moth-racer's league (sic), but he's committed to keeping the industry legal and eco-friendly. Typically for the trope, he still tends to his beasts personally.
* WorthIt: When he was young, he fell a great distance and would have died, if one of the wild giant moths native to the planet hadn't been ascending in that same spot. He clung to the moth in terror, but he also felt something else, and that thrill led him to the career he would love all his life.

Us. A democratic people relatively new to the galactic stage. They are known for their fragility, impulsive decisions, and bravado about all of the above. When a disastrous First Contact led them to believe they were in danger from the more advanced species, they bombed their homeworld in an act of suicidal defiance. This, and their total lack of interstellar colonies, led them to be classified as an endangered species. Integration into the galactic community is ongoing.
