Chapter I

❝I'm calling you BRIGHT EYES...❞
He has a voice colored red as impending storm calm, his shoulders are broad, and his hands end in claws curved and reptile.
He dresses liberally in sashes and the loose uniform of some faraway peoples, his natural armor made plain in daylight: a compact anatomy of muscle covered in obsidian scute, bruise-purple scale.
With the atmosphere of a man who sees through honest lenses, he talks very sparingly. Occasionally a gold-rimmed pair of bifocals sits on his nose, attached to his neck by a thin chain.
His origins are history, and his homeland is a collection of islets lost in time.
He accompanies A LITHE WOMAN just as human (and just as alien) as him, servicing as her personal guard, bookkeeper, honorary brother, and also collegiate to many faces they meet along the way. She appears to be source of the temporary sigils occasionally aglow on his skin.
"Bright Eyes" is both a teasing nickname and his given moniker by those who first found him. By those who saved his life.
He is searching for something.
This is his quiet prehistory.
He is a tall man, at 6'9", and weighs proportionately.
TRANSFORMED, he stands at a massive 18 feet from the shoulders on, plodding gently down capacity-friendly halls.
He has an acute sense of hearing and poor eyesight.
Often seen in a simple, fitted mask, and just as often not, the absence of it usually signifies relaxation from his regular duties.
❝... and I promise—
I promise to keep you safe.❞
Deceptively, he avoids conflict.
Fascinated by numbers ever since emerging from his home, he is a surprisingly excellent bookkeeper, and exercises a powerful, but young and uneducated, mind ever sharpened by the books (and people) he finds.
He is from A WORLD UNLIKE OUR OWN, and his private quarters reflect, richly, artifacts from that distant realm. His occupation is mostly as political ambassador and finding minor bookkeeping work, though he can be found partaking in more martial training and interests. (Few things will bother you if you've a dinosaur guarding the entrance.)
