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.

Background

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.

Relationships

10/10

Catenna - A++ would swing on a grappling rope while hammered again.

Layna Manydays - Gave Claude beer and carried him out of a burning bar while drunk! A++.

9/10

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.

8/10

Bartholomew Fatima - A decent guy except for how he is like Claude but more badass (i.e., is a pirate, has an awesome eyepatch, wears sleeveless jackets). Saved Claude's life with a Gear, which also had an eyepatch for... reasons?

Marshal Henry Smythe - A good man in a tight spot; his love of Blastemol!® has been both the doom and salvation of at least one Dig each.

7/10

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.)

Talise Gianfair - Very tough Beastwoman; slightly intimidating. Snapped him out of a nasty rage issue in the Manor. Excellent fighting partner in a pinch.

Tethelle Cirdian - She's some sort of priestess to the goddess of swords, which is pretty sweet. Got Claude half-drunk on cheap whiskey, which was less sweet. Still seems cool.

6/10

Alisha Diphda - A skilled and dedicated warrior who shows way too much but also just enough upper thigh area for Claude's liking.

Janus Cascade - This guy has his head screwed on straight, let me tell you!

Precis F. Neumann - Friendgirl (not girlfriend) from Linga who does some very impressive stuff with machines! Claude is trying to learn how to repair machines from her, in case his gear breaks down. Lessons progress slowly due to the insistence they be done while he is shirtless. Curious.

Lunata Croze - Nice girl! Brings him food and beer. This is more healthy than 90% of Claude's relationships.

Riesenlied - Seems all right, he guesses? Hangs out with Ida and doesn't ask difficult questions. (Doesn't know she's a Metal Demon yet.)

5/10

Gwen Whitlock - Pretty tough Drifter! Claude feels bad for almost dragon punching her into non-existence, though.

Sephilia Lampbright - Has worked okay with Claude on one dig (two, if Saucery Globe counts). The whole doll thing is pretty nifty.

4/10

Lemina Ausa - In hindsight, she mega-hosed him on that deal (200 Gella for one space silver - bad call). If he finds that magic carpet, though, this could pop up a few points.

Leon Albus - Cecilia's hairdresser?

3/10

Amelia Rose - In hindsight, bringing a blind girl to a dungeon adventure was a bad idea. That might be space-ablist, but w/e.

White Knight Leo - STOP STEALING MY AWESOME MOVES

2/10

Zed - First Claude thought he was an awesome rival! Then he turned out to be a Metal Demon. Now they're enemies, but... some part of him...

1/10

Amelia Rose's dog, Silver - Barfed on Claude's jacket. There's no dry cleaning on Cow Patty Planet. Not cool, dog. Not cool.

Kalve - The guy with a 3D printer for an arm who knew about radiation and Geiger counters actually turned out to be a sinister robot man. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED

0/10

Dias Flac - Stupid broody Dias.

Ronyx J. Kenny - SCREW YOU SPACE DAD


100% Accurate Space History

This is stuff that Claude thinks he remembers from the parts of Space History class he did not sleep through. Resemblance to actual space history is up for debate.

3,645 SD - A latent cult of astrologers lamenting over the impending end of the Age of Aquarius - and infuriated by the fact that many of the stars they'd been reading for years were actually giant spotlights set up by alien trolls - decided to forestall the shift of the great Age through the hastily invented practice of retroastrology, which involved the physical displacement of stars into alignments that generated more advantageous flows of fortune or energy. The practice came to an abrupt end when the FSS Nostradamus - which has deployed with a crew complement of 76 astrologers and zero engineers - overloaded its engine and exploded. (Their horoscope for that day: You may or may not want to be famous but you will get the chance to make your mark on the world. Whether or not you take it is your decision entirely but don't look back a year from now and wish you had been a bit more ambitious.)

4,713 SD - Most forms of aggressive marketing are outlawed following a centuries-long struggle for market dominance between two sanitation companies in the Arcturus system. This spills over into biological warfare when the chairman of BilgeWhiz Inc. unleashes a literal viral marketing campaign causing people to projectile vomit every time they hear the MekTorque Corp. jingle. A counter-virus, counter-counter-virus virus, and counter-counter-counter-virus-virus virus are each developed in short order, the mix of the four side effects eventually causing the residents of Arcturus to develop unsightly additional limbs and speak only in company slogans. Order is only restored following the deployment of the Federation's 53rd Tactical Meme Corps (official slogan: Trolla non Facta).

5,930 SD - The Dance Dance Revolution - a rebellion against Federation rule by Dazelian race - ends in the Matumbo Incident. The Dazelians, possessing the innate ability to transform sound waves into projected light energy, attempted to create a decisive weapon of destruction by conquering a multisector music festival. Unfortunately, as they entered the room, the 117 DJs present simultaneously dropped the bass; the resulting blast consumed the space station and all of the Dazelian rebels.

7,635 SD - The Microaggression War begins when the Dorseyan ambassador to the planet of Glassstone in the Beta sector, while drunk at a reception, points out that the third 's' in the planet's name was really unnecessary from a linguistic perspective. He further offered the suggestion that it had been inserted to disguise the fact that the people from there were most notable for being asses. 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.

9,514 SD - The Federation scout vessel SSGS-0287 John Perry encounters a planet in the Epsilon sector entirely populated by zombies. A heavily-armed away team descends but is not attacked; they instead discover the zombies standing patiently in lines stretching out to the horizon. A painstaking analysis of ancient records revealed the entire planet had been waiting for the release of a sick new MMO thousands of years earlier, and continued waiting when a virus turned them all. The mission's sole casualty was an ensign who attempted to cut in line to grab one of the games; he was torn to death on the spot.
