I have many role play characters; an outlaw/gunslinger, a noir, alcohol driven private investigator, A mad scientist, an eccentric, wily, hermit survivalist, a thieving junky and a NCR special operations sniper, but my titular and most fleshed out role play is this:
Name: Xarnac The Conqueror AKA "The Scourge of Betelgeuse"
six: Asixual, although he would be considered male.
Age: 326 years Earth time (Middle aged), age isn't determined in years on Betelgeuse since its celestial bodies cycle its star every 400,070 Earth years.
Karma: Evil
Dossier:
Xarnac is a carbon based humanoid extraterrestrial being, from the Betelgeuse System. His skin is tanned orange like all of his race, from exposure to their red super-giant. Devoid of hair from generations of breading on dust free space craft, Xarnac sports a blue pompadour wig (He took a shot on human hair colors).
A war hero slash war criminal, Xarnac once held a most respective and prominent post in Betelgeuse fleet command. He was conservative and wary of the Councils views on alien encounters but was a fine tactician and scientist in his own right. He was made to lead star ships. More ruthless than his brethren, Xarnac was given a position to head the fleets flagship during tactical exercises in the Sol quadrant. Despite allegations of brutality he was well liked amongst his crew.
Xarnacs father Xaxax was the legendary hero that saved Glorxax the Confessor from the The barbarian hordes of Bellatrix. To say Xarnac had a chip on his shoulder would be an understatement. While Xaxax exploits were respected and held in high praise. Xarnacs military history was far dodgier. Their was the Xuluc Embassy terrorist incident, which only half the hostages survived and of course the siege of Trifoldun laying half the city to waste.
During the exercises and while scanning for deep space relay signals, Xarnac discovered radio transmissions coming from sol's third planet. A rebroadcast of Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds. Too faint to read from his current position, Xarnac broke from his formation and disobeyed strict high command orders, officially going rogue.
The Sol system at the time was an obscure arrangement of planets on the outskirts of known space. The last time it had properly been surveyed was 32,000 B.C. Earth time. At that time the only known technology in the stars orbit was an abandon pirate outpost on Mars. This time though, the suns third planet had vast amounts of radiation emitting into space. In a moment of opportunity, he conquered this planets sole satellite. A small cratered dust bucket 225,622 miles away from its main body.
Provoking a people that didn't even know they were being assaulted.
Outraged and misinterpreting Welles show as a global panic, the High Council charged him with treason and war crimes against the Orion Pact, exiling him to be punished by the race he chose to attack. Donning a blue wig and through audio-dimensional technology, reconstructed his appearance to match Orson Welles. Ostracized, he left his home for his impromptu prison planet.
When Xarnac arrived on his new domain he realized the extent of his intellectual superiority over these strange creatures he now lived among. Initially puzzled by his immediate acceptance into their society, Xarnac played along as the happy wanderer. After a short time though his jealousy and rage at the betrayal from the hands of his own people over whelmed his mind and began a reign of terror killing the very lifeforms that were meant to be his executors. None are left alive in his wake of misery, taking slaves and experiment specimens in his comings and goings. Now bored of this place and feeling melancholic, Xarnac has decided to head west following the migrations of his victims.
Enter Xarnac left into a desolate arid desert...
