Fahru

Fahru| 27| November 4| Male| Prax
Citizen | Janitor / Space Pirate

Fahru is a typical Praxian male in many ways. He is tall and muscular with dark skin and wavy grayish brown hair. His eyes have an odd blue glow to them and his forehead bears a strange glowing symbol under the skin that seems to shift with his mood. He has a number of small scars and tattoos along his torso.

His limbs and spine are an oddity. They appear to be made of a strange, translucent crystalline substance that is the same blue color that his eye glow is. This substances makes up his arms and legs entirely and blends into the joints at his torso. Likewise his spine is covered in/made of this material and grows through his skin.

He speaks in soft, broken English with a heavy accent. His clothes, when he wears clothes not associated with work, are rather nice. He likes suits and sweaters, comfier clothes that make him look refined and hide as much of his synthetic limbs as possible. He likes Earth clothes because he prefers keeping his chest covered to hide the scars and tattoos that mark him as a slave on Mes.

Fahru is quiet and speaks with an odd accent, still not quite capable of fully grasping the English language. He is slowly getting past his fear of women and his natural instinct to think people are going to hit him. He enjoys his work as a janitor and finds it rewarding in its simplicity.

Fahru, more than anything, hates his time as a slave on Mes. He harbors a deep anger and hatred for his former masters and anyone who keep slaves. These things he keeps to himself because he also feels deeply guilty for the people he killed in his time as a gladitorial slave.

Fahru's limbs, spine, and ribs have been replaced with artificial versions, as has much of his nervous system. The prosthesis themselves do not actually have an impressive amount of strength. Their ability lies in the fact that they have powerful telekinetic fields surrounding and moving through them, powered by Fahru's own natural brain processes.

The limbs, utilizing the telekinetic field, allow Fahru to lift upwards of three tons and move roughly 50 meters in a couple of seconds. The field produces a shock absorbing effect, making the limbs nearly indestructible as well as preventing force from transferring through them into the still organic portions of Fahru's body.

The increased nerve response time in his body means that Fahru can react to stimuli in his environment roughly three times faster than a human might be able to.

The limbs are still capable of fine control, but if his emotions run high he can lose control and put more pressure than he means to on objects. The most damage he has done is crumple the head of a sledge hammer in his fist.

If a powerful electrical current is run through the limbs for several seconds, the external portion of the field can be shut down temporarily, putting Fahru's physical abilities back down to that of a normal Prax.

Like every other Prax, Fahru is far more superior than humans when it comes to durability and has a stronger immune system. His speed and strength as a Prax are largely made irellevant by his augmented limbs

Unlike many other Prax, Fahru is incapable of Linking with others. This is partially due to the trauma over the course of the first half of his life.

Fahru was born under a different name, the younger of a set of twins born to a slave on Mes. The pregnancy went badly, and the older sibling was stillborn. Fahru, for his survival, was malformed. His limbs were small and weak, they would never be able to support his weight. is mother knew he would be killed in such a state, so she did the one thing she knew to do to possibly protect him. She rid herself of the body of her other child, claiming Fahru to be a single birth.

Fahru was raised as a slave, his forst "task" being when he was barely a toddler. Used as a guinea pig in an experimental bio-mechanical medical procedure. Removing his defective limbs and replacing them. The baby boy spent a year in agony as the crystals that made up his new limbs slowly worked their way into his nervous system. By the time he was seven, he was able to do more than just walk: the boy could lift and carry things that normally took half a dozen slaves to move.

As he reached his teenage years, Fahru found that his female masters took a liking to him. They brought him to their bed chambers often. Both behind closed doors and in public, his limbs made him stick out and several paid his masters high prices for a night with their sapphire encrusted freak. One night however, a particularly depraved Daughter of Flame paid for Fahru's services. He refuses to speak of what happened, but the night ended with the woman unable to walk ever again and his blue hands stained with blood.

Fahru was sold to that woman, who owned several gladiatorial slaves, to punish in the arena. He was meant to be a sparring partner for her champions, a warm up before the main event. Instead he became a crowd favorite when he bested that very same champion. Out in the arena, he was a king, but behind closed doors the beatings increased with each victory. But he continued to win, because hearing the crowd cheer for him was more than enough praise to make up for the beatings later.

Fed up with his constant mockery of her enterprise, Fahru's master decided to send him to be put to death. It was during this trip that fate intervened in the form of a man named Kofi. The rescue was nothing special in the grand scheme of things, but it meant the world to Fahru.

Joining Kofi's crew, he took s new name. The name of a folks story hero on Mes. On Earth he got a job and, sometime later he met another Prax man that he had a deep connection to. This turned out to be his twin, who he did not know was even a thing.
