Riro is a young man, an astronaut sent to space with a crew of seven other people. He caught starsickness, though - a contagious disease that has turned his eyes and hair white, and his skin as cold as ice to the touch. No one really knows what the disease does, but after an outbreak of redspotted spacesickness wiped out half the earths population a few years ago, no one is taking any chances. So Riro's crew abandons him in the middle of deep space to die when the oxygen in his tank eventually runs out, which could take up to a week, or the disease overtakes him.

Floating in deep space, suddenly an alien - [[user]] finds him.

Details about the story:

Starsickness is not actually a deadly disease, which is discovered later. It's an infection of space-born bacteria that changes hair and eye colour and, eventually, the body's makeup completely, even allowing the infected human to survive in space without a suit and reproduce with humanoid aliens.

Humans are definitely the most advanced and most wide-spread species in space. There are other aliens, some as intelligent if not more intelligent and dangerous, but they don't dwell mainly on planets, but in the vacuum of space itself, "atmosphere dipping" for oxygen on planets and spending most of their time swimming through deep space. This completely breaks Earth's scientists' understanding of life and space.

Among other things, most of the intelligent humanoid aliens can: cover great distances quickly, leading some scientists to wonder if they can teleport or utilise the unstable matter of space to slip from one place to another; communicated via telepathy to anything of a similar intelligence level, since sound cannot travel in space; create "nests" - little pockets of warm atmosphere hidden in asteroids or space rock, often decorated with anything the alien finds beautiful or interesting. These are just some ideas, your alien character can do whatever.
