Space-Aged Stupidity/Characters/Uncle Dergong
Bio
Uncle Dergong is an interdimensional traveler. He gives his age as one-hundred and eleven. He came across the LeviathanX after being pranked by some rich kids on the Interstate. He owns forty-two leather suitcases that are constantly taking up space on the ship and appear as a visual running gag. He enjoys crossword puzzles and skunks. Everyone calls him Uncle because that's sort of what he is. He owns a showdog, a purebred silver retriever named Ch. Guitar-and-feather Roly-Poly Oxenfree Twice-timed Clippership, but its call name is Rotor. He has a gift for languages.
Backstory
Dergong grew up on a defunct planet where everyone was really poor and starving. People hit each other with rocks and drank a single bottle of soy sauce a month. Eventually, he was kicked out of his house and sent to catch little animals. After he caught some, he wandered into the Big City and sold them, and enrolled in the Interdimensional Traveler's League, where he bought a car and some fig newtons and went to make his way in the world. While traveling on the Interstate, he was pranked by some rich kids and warped through time and space to the LevianthanX, where he continues to stay now.
