Far Out There: Ichabod's Profile

Ichabod is a member of the Galactic Nitpicker's Guild. That means he's a man who wanders the galaxy charging people good money to have him tell them all the things they're doing wrong. That may sound silly to you, but this is THE FUTURE: when people are willing to pay top dollar for that sort of thing. Still, Nitpickers aren't known for being terribly popular people, and Ichabod is no exception. He's hardly a social butterfly - what with the whole "career built around criticizing others" thing - and he's got a very low opinion of people in general. In fact, the guy's just kind of a grouch. If you're actually willing to take the time to know him, though, Ichabod's not a bad sort of fellow. After all, he DOES offer free passage around the galaxy to folks in need... from time to time.
Ichabod is a tough cookie to figure out. Depending on when you catch him, you might think he's an egomaniac who's completely full of himself, a pathetic man-child with crippling insecurity issues, or just an unstable lunatic. The truth probably includes all of these oppinions and much, much more. Most people who have "gotten to know" Ichabod actually gave up trying to figue him out a while ago. It's much easier to just shrug and go along with him (or stay out of his way).

Like any Nitpicker worth his salt, Ichabod is a very intelligent individual with a keen eye for detail. He's very good at keeping track of what's going on around him and has a knack for problem solving, more common Nitpicker traits. Ichabod ALSO has a habit of making things more complicated than they actually are, which is not a common Nitpicker trait, it's just something he does. What's more, while he's pretty good at nitpicking OTHER people's mistakes, Ichabod has a nasty habit of failing to notice his OWN boneheadedness until it's much too late. This has given him an unfortunate reputation for... sowing discord, if you will.
