Physical Description

Preedox is tall and lanky with long, delicate facial features and well developed musculature, especially in his shoulders and arms. At first glance it is easy to mistake him as not belonging to the Starstrider race. While he does possess pointy ears, his skin is a deep, deep chocolate brown nearly blank and his hair is a very muddy brown with slightly golden highlights His piercing sunshine eyes though give away that he is neither another species nor a Horizon but of House Phaeton.

His long hair when loose is straight and reaches to just past his waist. Most people would not realise the extent of its length though as he traditionally keeps it wrapped in a messy and haphazard bun. His perpetual scowl is also made more severe seeming due to a small but bright scar that runs parallel to his nose and through his upper lip on the left side. Preedox also has one other significant scar although is not easily or usually seen. He was shot in the back of the his right upper thigh. His crewmates have been known to joke that he was actually shot in the ass especially since he occassionally has a bit of a limp although it is not usually very pronounced.

For adornments, Preedox has a bridge piercing as well as two tattoos. On the left side of his neck is a teal, glowing tattoo of a mute symbol. It is the shared tattoo of his current crew and is a representation of his intention and desire to reject having a Resonance. Additionally, on the inside of his right forearm is a watercolour tree tattoo. The rainbow ink seems to drip down and bleed from the leaves until it forms a red pool at the base of the tree around his wrist. His usual attire is a flight suit with the top tied around his waist and a dark tank top underneath with heavy boots. Pree isn’t big on jewellery but he does have a black watch that he wears on his right hand. He also keeps a gun strapped to his right thigh when off the ship.

Personality

He is a taciturn, sarcastic, biting, and downright abrasive man at the best of times. Preedox thinks most people are idiots and has little time or trust for anyone, even those that have known him the longest. He isn’t one to let people get in and close to him and seems to have no sense of humour with the way he grunts or scowls in response to others.

Preedox was once a gentle and giving soul but years of disappointments have hardened his heart. He is by no means altruistic anymore and what he does for others is of a motive all of his own. It is easy to mistake this cold-nature for that of an asshole. And in fact he would gladly welcome such beliefs if it meant being left alone.

He is however, rather shy and has an air of sadness about him. But, that being said if pushed enough, he will most certainly snap. There are a lot of things that make Preedox angry but he is traditionally good about ignoring them unless they directly affect his person. Identify him as anything other than a Starstrider or as being from House Horizon and he will be furious. Invade his personal space enough to corner him and he will viciously lash out.

He is seemingly unpredictable, very analytical and critical of others, but also a great problem-solver. If you are willing to gamble the risk of having him around, he has the potential to be the perfect card in your deck to get you out of a sticky situation. He’s great at improvising on the spot but terrible at coming to a long-term decision quickly.

Things

• Secretly collects small old-fashioned children’s plastic dinosaurs and other extinct beasties.
• Room is filled with hanging plants especially huge philodendron but does have ferns and spider plants as well. Most pride plant is a dark purple set of violets that he’s had since he lived on Earth.
• Has a small lockbox under his bed covered in dust and filled with old pictures and papers.
• Has a habit of reaching out or keeping a hand on an inside wall of the ship regardless of where he is in the ship.
• VERY heavy sleeper and not easily woken up unless something is wrong with the ship he’s on. Then he tends to just “know.”
• Listens to a lot of “New Age” music.
• Enjoys “girly” drinks. If it’s pink and fruity he’ll probably be all about that.

Magic/Abilities

A damn fine engineer: knows his way in, out, and around most ships in an almost uncanny sort of way. Is very intune with their innerworks and just tends to know things. Can’t really explain why a thing must be the way it is and gets very hostile when questioned. Just trust him damn it!

Fair fighter: he’s a fair enough shot with a gun and can handle himself in hand-to-hand combat for a short while if he has an ability to get away. Preedox does best with stealth fighting though and sneaking up behind someone. His talents lie more in the unknown attack rather than the brute force one.

Relationships

Resonance: The song has been out in the universe very quietly for a while now and Preedox has absolutely NO intention of ever following that pull. EVER. He is afraid of the day though when the universe has enough with his running and forces him to face it head on.

History

Pree is old. He’s old enough to remember a time when the Earth was still green but, had already begun to die. He’s old enough to have seen species go extinct and the world become entranced and captivated by technology, space exploration, and mass production.

When he was a younger man, full of vigour and fire, he was an activist. Marches, riots, rallies, fundraisers, he was always in the thick of it. Save the Earth, save the animals, down with using finite resources, down militaristic control; you name it, he was likely there protesting it. It did not matter to him if he was the only one or one of hundreds or thousands, he would fight for what he believed in.

Preedox once truly believed that while he couldn’t hear his resonance yet that just meant he had time to make a habitable world for them both to love and raise children together. He was willing to fight to make it just right and he took solace and pride in that while patiently waiting. Repeated failures and disappointments though served as “proof” that people are NOT as good as he once thought. What was the use of hope when it was just drowned in neon poison.

He remembers a world that divided itself out of greed, raging and warring with each other as they went. He was one of many that took to the stars in the end. Preedox didn’t stay put on the newly made Libra station for long though. He felt being trapped in a stationary hunk of metal too caging and instead began jumping from ship to ship, taking up odd jobs. Eventually, he found an uncanny affinity for mechanical engineering. He’s now since joined a pirate crew of Starstriders and serves as their ship mechanic for the past few centuries.

The day he abandoned Earth though, will forever remain the day he abandoned all hope.
