''"I don't even know what's going on here. How can you expect me to save anyone at all?"''
'''“I don't know about being a 'hero', but I'm willing to help.”'''


The son of Fleet Admiral [[Ronyx J. Kenny]], Hero of the Pangalactic Federation, Claude has struggled all his life to escape his father's shadow. His every success was to be expected of the son of a hero; his every failure a stain on his father's legacy. Now trapped on the surface of Filgaia, Claude is posing (with limited success) as an ordinary traveler. He has begun an investigation of the Sorcery Globe, believing it to be a crashed spaceship... and thus his best chance of getting home.  
Claude C. Kenny is a perfectly ordinary young man from a perfectly ordinary place that he just never happens to talk about.  Confident, skilled, and generally kind, he gives off a good impression, is polite to authority figures, and is generally a Good Man.  He's also willing to break the rules, out to see how strong he can get, and hates arrogance.  In reality he's an officer of the Pangalactic Federation, stuck on Filgaia thanks to a transporter accident across the galaxy. His inexperience has largely given way to maturity, and now he's out to protect those he cares for and save the world--well, worlds. He's gone a long way from trying not to interfere in the planet, and that might be a problem later... But for now, he's thriving on a world where he can be something other than his father's son.

In the recent annals of the Pangalactic Federation, there are few individuals more noted or storied than Ronyx J. Kenny. In 10,346 SD, then the captain of the Federation cruiser Calnus, he was one of tens of thousands of ships scouring the galaxy for a cure to a strange disease that was petrifying peoples on every world. After an encounter with the Felpool race, he and his first mate, [[Ilia Silvestri-Kenny|Ilia Silvestri]], breached the restricted space around the Styx system, accessed The Time Gate, and emerged relative minutes later, dressed in strange garments, with a cure for the petrification disease in hand.

For his actions, Ronyx was promoted to Commodore, granted the title "Hero of the Federation," and given his choice of commands. He married Ilia and began a rapid rise through the ranks of Federation officers. Every man, woman, child, and multifaceted gender (check your xeno-privilege, yo) in the Federation has heard of Ronyx and his example.

Of his son Claude, not so much is known. He grew up in the shadow of his impossibly famous father and his nearly-as-famous mother, and from the moment he was old enough to understand the scope of their heroics he has wanted to live up to their example, to be a leader, a hero, to excel at everything he set his hand to. In his early years, he strove to do just that, his pride in his family name driving him forward. And every time he aced a test or won a prize, someone would ruffle his hair and praise him. "To be expected of the son of a hero," they'd say, and Claude would smile.

But then he started to hear the whispers - that he'd never earned his successes, that they'd been handed to him on a silver platter in an attempt to curry favour with his father. The phrase "to be expected of the son of a hero" took on a new meaning, as it implied that not only were his successes due to the legacy of a parent he could never surpass... anything less than perfection would be a betrayal of that legacy.

Claude and his father grew distant, and when the time came to apply to the Federation Academy (because what other choice did he have?) he chose to train as a weapons officer, rather than an occupation more suited to high command, as a small measure of defiance. But after his graduation, Ronyx interfered again, assuming command of his old ship, the Calnus (a job four ranks below his actual one) and assigning Claude as his personal security officer.

The whispers were more like catcalls by this point. And Claude heard every one of them.

}}
The Calnus's early voyage was quiet, until they encountered a strange reading on a planet known as Milokeenia. Ronyx, in violation of several protocols for such a high-ranking officer, beamed down to investigate, which meant his bodyguard, Claude, had to come along as well. (Need to get some away missions under the baby boy's belt too, the mutters echoed.) Driven to exasperation by his father's unwitting interference in his life and career, Claude strayed a little too close to an alien device and was transported to the middle of a forest near Arlia.
 
Oops.
 
There he encountered a monster chasing a blue-haired elf girl, and he used his phase gun to evaporate the creature right in front of her.
 
'''Oops.'''
 
And it turns out that in so doing, he inadvertently met the conditions of an ancient prophecy about a Warrior of Light, the sort of thing his Academy classes really should have warned him against.
 
'''''Oops.'''''
 
Now Claude is on Filgaia. Accompanied by the strange blue-haired symbologist [[Rena Lanford]], he is working as a Drifter, trying to investigate a mysterious crash of something the locals call the Sorcery Globe, which Claude suspects is a spaceship... and his ticket home.
 
In the meantime, he's posing as an ordinary traveler. That part isn't going so well.
 
== Powers and Abilities ==
 
Claude's fighting style revolves around a mix of Edarl Blade Arts techniques, kung fu, and qigong, the latter of which allows him to greatly enhance his physical strength and resiliency in short bursts. He is also trained in the use of ARMs, and has complemented his broadsword with a run-of-the-mill single-action revolver as backup, since he can no longer spam phase gun for days.
 
Also, he is from space. That is not so much a power, though.

'''[[Cecilia Adlehyde]]''' - Originally thought to be an apprentice nun (???), now it turns out she's the Princess of Adlehyde (!!!). In contrast with most other princesses Claude has known, spends a surprising amount of time diving into dark holes with strange men (not what you think) instead of giggling behind hands with handmaids (what you think). Pretty cool.
 
'''[[Rena Lanford]]''' - Traveling companion, co-investigator of the Sorcery Globe, and friendgirl (not girlfriend). Relationship slightly downgraded by her insistence on occasionally running off to hang out with STUPID BROODY DIAS.

'''[[Ida Everstead-Ready]]''' - Claude's protegee. Seems to know a lot of stuff about stuff, which is a good person to know if you're trying to learn more about Cow Patty Planet. Unfortunately also a bad person to know if you're trying to ''pretend'' you're from Cow Patty Planet and not, y'know, space. (Probably more FP than RP in this relationship, but you never know.)

What followed would have been an epic galaxy-wide battle between two sentient races that could have torn the Federation into a civil war the likes of which had never been seen, if not for the fact that both races had millennia-old traditions of pacifism. What followed instead was a 730-year conflict across the information battlespace, in which generations came and went in a constant campaign of subtweeting and passive-aggressive commentary on the other planet's popular trideo logs.
 
'''8,368 SD''' - The seventeenth moderator appointed to moderate the Microaggression War and therefore keep the two races involved from being triggered dies due to overwork and stress, the Federation Assembly passes the 'Okay, Everyone, Seriously, Chill The Eff Out' Act, which restricts posts to verified accounts only. thereby putting an end to the tragedy that had claimed centuries of productivity.

“I don't know about being a 'hero', but I'm willing to help.”

Claude C. Kenny is a perfectly ordinary young man from a perfectly ordinary place that he just never happens to talk about. Confident, skilled, and generally kind, he gives off a good impression, is polite to authority figures, and is generally a Good Man. He's also willing to break the rules, out to see how strong he can get, and hates arrogance. In reality he's an officer of the Pangalactic Federation, stuck on Filgaia thanks to a transporter accident across the galaxy. His inexperience has largely given way to maturity, and now he's out to protect those he cares for and save the world--well, worlds. He's gone a long way from trying not to interfere in the planet, and that might be a problem later... But for now, he's thriving on a world where he can be something other than his father's son.
