Personality
Spalje is a good-natured slob, fond of food, sleep and just generally lazing about. Eating is by far his favourite activity, and he considers himself something of a food connoisseur as a result; as a general rule, Spalje is the one who makes the meals Alex and the rest of his team eat. As a result of his love of food, Spalje is noticeably fat even by the standards of his species, which lead at one point to a disastrous attempt by Vattenfallet to put him on a strict diet and exercise regime. In terms of personal interactions, Spalje comes off as affable and relaxed, albeit sometimes incapable of taking matters as seriously as he should.
Abilities in Battle
Spalje is lucky enough to belong to a species where his laziness doesn't necessarily impede his fighting ability. As a general rule, Spalje will try to tank his opponents to death, using a combination of Leech Seed, Synthesis spam and his natural bulk to wear opponents down while shrugging off their attacks. In a pinch, Spalje can pull off a surprisingly adept Petal Dance.
Relationships
Spalje is affable enough to have a generally friendly relationship with most everyone. He's also too lazy to put in the effort necessary to build truly stalwart friendships, however.
