Oink is a somewhat plump pig in a garish purple and green suit.

Anthro Pig

5'10" / 178cm not counting the ears
Physical Description
Plump.
Oink has foretrotters (hands) that consist of two big fingers and two small thumbs (often hidden behind the fingers), so he might have trouble using equipment designed for human hands. Also, he has eight (non-functional) nipples, arranged in pairs down his chest.
Coloration
No fur; visible skin is pink.
Tarot Card
Two of Wands.

UAIN

Clothing/Armor
Garish purple and green suit. In a pinch, the suit could be used as a space suit (either with an appropriate helmet, or a hood that can be pulled out of the back of the yoke), so it's reasonably tough. It's not going to stop a sword or a bullet, though. He sometimes wears two emblems on the shoulders of the yoke; in his own universe, they are stars representing his bureaucratic rank.
Other Key Accessories
Vary (see below under Powers). So far, he's been seen with a scanner and a medical kit (including a medical pickle).
Magical Items
Oink has two wooden sticks he acquired from Zendo's Magic Shop. They should be fairly low-powered fire wands, but
Occupation
Space Bureaucrat and Pig
Powers
Can produce useful objects out of thin air. These generally must be things he would have ready access to in his own universe, which unfortunately excludes any actual weapons (except maybe a stun pistol if things get really nasty), and they would have to be of use to Oink personally. He generally can't get things to give to someone else, and when he's done with them, they go away. (An exception to this is the toaster Oink gives people on festive occasions such as weddings. The exact details of when he can give someone something he fetched have yet to be worked out.) Occasionally, he gets something completely different than he wanted. The mechanism for this ability is probably magical.
(I envision this as mostly working by "Oink produces a sonic screwdriver and tries to remove the door from it's hinges."; the GM could say, "Oink discovers he's holding a pickle instead of a screwdriver." if unscrewing the door isn't in the cards. A GM could also give something to Oink, e.g., having encountered a wicked witch, Oink might discover that he's holding a bucket of water.)
One consequence of this is that Oink is always appropriately dressed. If there's a Space Bureaucrat uniform for an occasion (and there generally is), he'll be wearing that; if not, something reasonable in purple and green.
Combat Skills
Oink studied for a while at Akage's Dojo of Shuraido. He spent more time chatting with Silvermoon than actually training, but he did pick up a little skill in unarmed combat. Back in his home dimension, he had a short session of basic training, so he's not completely unfamiliar with firearms.
Personality
Since the Berglundic Constellation is fairly hierarchical (and he's on the low end), he'll tend to be overly deferential, especially to humans (or those who look human). As time goes on, this is becoming less true as he runs into humans more often, He's generally non-violent, and if attacked, his first inclination is to hide. However, he would definitely fight to protect friends or colleagues.
Hobbies
Oink collects toasters. His extensive collection is currently in the custody of the Rotating Eggplants of Doom.
Dislikes
Oink is slightly prejudiced against cats and penguins. His home society is rabidly anti-cat, due to a recent Civil War, and anti-penguin due to a war with Antarctica.
Brief History
Oink's own universe is a fairly technologically advanced culture of mostly pigs, dogs and cats, but with various other species (but no humans---they mysteriously vanished some years ago). The technology level is something like early Star Trek level. No magic, no psi (as far as Oink knows, anyway). He is a member of the Berglundic Bureaucracy, level O2 (the levels go up, so that's nearly at the bottom).
Friends and Allies
Oink is a member the Rotating Eggplants of Doom Associated Animals. He's had adventures with various other avatars (list to follow).
