Niksput

Niksput is an Orbiton Mixel.

Personality
Niksput, despite being charming and having a high bravado along with being the leader of his tribe, has a slow mind. He has the tendency to say that he is up for anything, but only realizing later of the consequences of his actions and ending up terrified.

Physical Appearance
Niksput has a white body with a yellow-green underbite with two teeth pointing up, two arms with white wings with red lights at the tips. Over the wings are yellow-green arms with black hands. His head has one cycloptic eye covered by a glass cover, and two yellow-green sides with white points underneath. He sports a pompadour hairstyle, and one jet-pack roaring with fire. His eyelids alternate between green and black.

Ability
Niksput can fly with his wings and jetpack.

Early life
Not much is know about Niksput's early life. However, he did manage to become the leader of the Orbitons. Also, he headed a botched attempt to fend off the Glowkies.

First adventures
During an abduction, he and his brothers abducted the Infernites to Mixel Moon using their Ship-Space. However, the Infernites were not happy with the abduction, causing a Max battle, but the two tribes later reconciled.

Finding Naut's speech about Orbitopia's glass dome boring, he found interest in Burnard's smoke lasso trick. This later came in handy for saving the dome when the two of them Mixed. Although they ended being the ones to accidentally break it afterward.

During the welcome party, he played volleyball with Flamzer, only to get hit in the head with the ball.

Once the Glowkies started attacking, he and Flamzer teamed up to fend them back, but later found them friendly and joined in their party.

When believing Flamzer's story that he did not exist, he started to break down into tears. ("Mixel Moon Madness")

Further adventures
Niksput had attended a special convention with his Orbiton brothers, fellow alien tribe the Glowkies, and new friends the Infernites. At it, they competed in quite a few events. ("Mixels Convention Craze")

Niksput was one of many Mixels who were forced to outrun the Nixelstorm and help shut it down. ("Mixels Rush")
