Species: Sapient Lycanth
Birthplace: Lycanthia (continent on the far side of Amargosa)
Birthdate: [Unknown]
Spikey is a sapient lycanth who chose to remain among humans after the Liberation of Amargosa. Originally from Lycanthia, the isolated continent on Amargosa’s far side, he played a key role in the resistance during the occupation, later assisting with rebuilding efforts alongside JT Austin, Colonel Quan, and Eric Yuwono at Lizzy’s Ranch. Fascinated by human technology, Spikey became a self-taught mechanic and tractor wrangler, often dismantling machines simply to understand them better.
Possessing a foul mouth and a crude sense of humor—especially when mocking Gelt settlers—Spikey provides comic relief even in tense situations. His rough manner masks a fierce loyalty to his human friends, whom he regards as an extension of his pack. After the war, he forms a chaotic, laughter-filled bond with Ellie Nardino, accompanying her on key missions such as reclaiming Deming’s mech factory for civilian rebuilding. Their sibling-like relationship becomes a cornerstone of Ellie’s postwar life, with Spikey offering both steadfast support and much-needed levity as she struggles with adulthood. Despite embracing human society, Spikey proudly retains his lycanth identity, blending two worlds in his own unique way.
