CHARACTER BIO
NAME: Eschalot
RACE: Saiyan
AGE: 25
GENDER: Female
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5'2 / How dare you?!
APPEARANCE:
MOTIVATIONS:
Eschalot was once a brutal warrior - she has since evolved beyond that and sees herself as a defender of the weak. Her motivation is a simple one: she seeks to stand between civilians, and those who would oppress, tyranize, or injure them. Such a drive places her at odds with the vast majority of powerful people in the universe, as she does so not out of any desire to enforce law or justice over them herself - indeed, she is mistrustful of those who place their faith in such institutions. Instead, she sees it as her intrinsic duty to prevent violence and death wherever she goes.
There is a contradiction in this, as in order to prevent violence she must often dish it out in spades. She has done, and continues to do, many horrible things. She is a killer, a renegade from her own people and from those who would traditionally harbour her from them. She does not paint her life as a romantic one, and she would not wish it on anyone else. She makes this sacrifice of herself, so that others out there do not need to do so. She gives up her peace, to preserve the peace of others wherever she happens to be. It is a difficult trade, but one she feels it is her duty to make.
QUIRKS:
Eschalot is a 'shiphead'. She loves spaceships of all kinds and obsessively tinkers with and maintains her own modest craft The Frypan.
Inside the ship there is also a small space which is very well-protected and hidden. Once a smuggler's compartment, it is now a shrine to the people Eschalot has lost or failed in her journey. She maintains a candleflame there for each one. Currently, the count stands at 17.
BONDS:
Eschalot has thoroughly rejected the Saiyan Dominion, feeling that her people have lost their way and are too quick to resort to violence for the sake of violence rather than thinking things through or working with others. She has no patience at all for authority, having witnessed the terrible effects of its misuse firsthand.
She does, however, have a few scattered people who remain important to her. Her former Squad Leader, Pepa, has also gone renegade and she misses him dearly, however their paths rarely intersect due to fear of coming to the attention of loyalist forces. Wherever she goes, she tends to leave friends in her wake - people who remember the powerful Saiyan who came from the stars and left the world better than she found it.
BACKSTORY:
Eschalot was once an Elite Warrior born on New Sadla. Her natural fighting strength was fostered and she grew to prominence among a group of her peers - fellow hot-blooded Saiyan Elites who formed a corps of warriors known as the Iron Fist Brigade. Together, they travelled the galaxy honing their skills under the leadership of Pepa, a man who refused to allow weaker 'low-class' Saiyans into their band in order to keep the group as elite as possible.
Eschalot's youth was, like most Saiyans with a significant power level, spent in the crucible of combat. As the dream of the Dominion was born, she and her Squad were there; true believers in the Queen and the ideal of a Saiyan Dominion that stretched across the stars.
But once the Dominion was being established the Iron Fist Brigade began to be used for harder and harder missions - operations where other groups would be too squeamish or weak to pass through. Of the original 8 Elites, by the time Eschalot was 20, fully half of that team had died and two 'outsiders' had been forcibly assigned to the unit. Not just that, but Eschalot began to understand that some of these planets they had conquered - well, they weren't a threat. They were being used as an expedient shortcut to diplomacy.
She shared her misgivings with Pepa, and was surprised to find a kindred soul. The others in the Iron Fist Brigade were not so quick to join them. The group fell to infighting, and in the aftermath, two more of her closest friends lay dead. She and Pepa fled the planet, and she has been on the run ever since.
CALL TO ACTION:
The Planet Vendros was not a particularly noteworthy world - one more agricultural bauble to add to the growing Saiyan Dominion. But the people were proud, and refused to yield. The bloodshed on that world, the horror that she saw unleashed, and that she committed herself - the slaughter of so many helpless civilians? That is what prompted Eschalot to realise that there had to be a better way.
