'''Rover''' is a sentient cloud creature from the [[Par'tha Expanse]] who | '''Rover''' is a sentient cloud creature from the [[Par'tha Expanse]] who was first discovered by [[USS Atlantis]] and appointed by his people as an ambassador to the world of bipeds. Though childlike in nature, Rover's diplomatic mission is to learn about biped culture in order to improve his people's relations with outsiders. He stayed aboard [[USS Atlantis]] with {n|Rendal|Rennyn} as his guardian, and later left Atlantis with Rennyn. | ||

His species, known colloquially in the Uzoka system as Cloud Dancers or Rainbow Dancers, are sentient, cloud-based beings native to the Jenatris Cloud. Their culture appears to be similar to that of a wolf pack. | His species, known colloquially in the Uzoka system as Cloud Dancers or Rainbow Dancers, are sentient, cloud-based beings native to the Jenatris Cloud.

Cloud Dancers are born and raised in packs, like wolves. Rover’s pack was captured and was being illegally transported aboard Atlantis by a Uzokan ambassador, when they escaped and wreaked havoc aboard the ship before someone developed a translation matrix that allowed Rover to explain and ask for asylum and assistance. | |||
For many years, the Cloud Dancers have been captured and imprisoned by the residents of the Uzoka system within the Expanse. The energy the clouds are made of is used to power machinery, and in some black market circles, is used as a narcotic. Criminals capture the Cloud Dancers illegally, the way whales or seals are killed today. Rover stayed aboard the ship to learn about bipeds so that his people will have the ability to communicate in order to forge alliances with humanoid neighbors and protect themselves from those who would capture and harm them. | |||
Rover has a powerful range of abilities. He is made of powerful energy, but also consumes energy from an independent generator somone made for Ren, so he doesn’t have to pull from the ship. Rover is a shapeshifter, but like the well-known Changelings, doesn’t do well with humanoid features. No matter what form Rover takes, he is always purple. His translation matrix makes his speech patterns seem childish, and he uses nicknames for everyone instead of their proper names. He likes mischief and is overall a very silly cloud. | |||
When Rover got sick in 2391, it was thought he was entering some kind of maturation phase. It is known that he is a young Cloud Dancer, but fully grown Cloud Dancers have not been encountered, and their form is unknown. Ren theorized that Rover was going through puberty and would emerge in an advanced, as-yet-unseen form. | |||
Rover gradually solidified into a rock-like form that is different from any shape he has taken before. It is as though the cloud petrified. He has not emerged from this state in the last year and a half. | |||
