GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Azalea, but he'll get mad if you say this.
ALIASES: 'Sol Supernova', the name he's most known by--though they prefer Sol.
AGE: Forty-one.
GENDER: Male.
SPECIES: Konatsian.
CORE TRAITS:
OPTIONAL TRAIT:
GENERAL TRAITS:
STARTING PLANET: Konats
HOME REGION: Twisted Wilds.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE: Commissioned by the fabulous Harcloniter. Full appearance coming soon, but by and large, he just looks like a cowboy.
IMAGE CREDIT: Harcloniter is the artist. Sol's mask is inspired by the Novakid race from Starbound.
BACKGROUND: "Fine. You're getting cliff notes, though."
"The Kashvar and Konatsians had been buttin' heads for a long while before I was born, but when baby Sol came into the world, things turned up like hell. Funny enough, though, my childhood wasn't that bad, or at least better than it could've been. The only unique issue was that I was drawn to magic like matching magnet poles, but I was a good enough mechanic to make up for it. Helped that my big brother--Camilla--knocked the socks off anyone that tried to bully me, haha! Parents were nice, too. Good folks: they helped keep me sane even while my people tore itself apart."
"But then the planet started splitting, too. Those storms...it was like waking up every day to an apocalypse. Watchin' all my friends either die or leave was just too much--I had to leave, too. All the wars, all the storms...it gets to a person, after a while. I promised to come back once I'd become the best mechanic in the galaxy--a little bet I'd made with my parents as a kid. They agreed on one condition: that Camilla come along, too. And there I went."
"Ya don't need a play-by-play of every year. The mechanic stuff worked for a while. Camilla have a real snazzy business name--Sol and the Supernovas. Corny, kind of full of it, but charming in its own way. Money doesn't come easy, though, and I found myself doing jobs that Camilla didn't approve of; turns out, I knew how to aim a gun as much as I did how to make one. I tried my best to only get those that had it coming, but he hated it all the same. Don't get twisted--I agreed. But I only planned to do it for just a few years."
"And then he died. Job went wrong and the target felt like getting payback. The best damn person in the universe, dying because he had the shit luck of being my brother."
"That must have been what, fifteen years ago? Even if I'm not good with time, I never forgot that day. For a long--and I mean a long time--the memory broke me. I started killing solely for the sake of it, morals be damned. I felt like if I was such a shithead that I'd get him killed, I might as well go all the way. At some point, I just...stopped. Maybe I finally remembered that he'd died protecting me. Giving up everything because of what I could become. I thought to myself, maybe I should try to prove him right."
"I've been trying, at least. I'm more discretionary with my bounties, even more than before Camilla's death. Went back to being a mechanic--finally started hiring people, too. Demon girl called Medusa, big ol' robot calling itself Brick and an Aocrosian called Icicle. Really weird bunch, and half the time I wanna shoot them out of an airlock...but every now and then, we feel like friends. Maybe even a family."
"Saw my parents a while back. They'd heard plenty about all the stuff I'd done wrong...but they heard all the good stuff, too. Apparently, my mask had gained a bit of a reputation. I wasn't just some stupid hired gun, I was--to them at least--a hero."
"I didn't believe them for a second, but...it was pretty nice to hear. Now shoo. I've got spacepods to fix."
