Gregory Sorakov Character in System Down Universe | World Anvil

Gregory Sorakov

Grand General Gregory Sorakov

Military governor and defacto leader of the Bionic Technocracy, Gregory Sorakov is effectively ruler of Systora.
Due to his extensive bionic augmentation, Gregory's natural lifespan has been extended beyond human norms.
Driving mass indoctrination through technological-slavery, it was he that decreed all inhabitants of Systora should begin some form of augmentation by their 13th birthday.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Originally from the Human Colony of Mars, Gregory began his military career early in life. Having risen through the ranks, once The Great Collapse began, martial government took control in order to vacate Mars.
Upon arriving on Systora, Gregory maintained command and has since lead the development and growth of the colony on the planet.
Since discovering the inhabitants of the neighbouring sister-planet Vara, and their technological prowess, a deepseated hatred formed of both jealousy and xenophobia - stemming from human fear and the ideological differences that had severed the Human Colony of Mars from that of Earth.

Morality & Philosophy

A headtrong xenophobe, ever-reaching for the pinnacle of technological perfection, Gregory's morality is widely viewed as abhorrent by the majority of other species and colonies.

While these views are often publicised within affronted worlds who have to fight his armies regularly, the full nature of his views and actions are kept from the masses of Systora.

Social

Social Aptitude

In a stark contrasting duality, when addressing the public of Systora, Gregory exudes charisma and adopts a friendly, approachable demeanour.

Mannerisms

When stressed or in thought, Gregory would either tap on the metal-plated skull (in the same way you'd tap on a desk with each finger in a rhythm), or place the thumb and ringfinger of his right hand at either pole of his oversized bionic eye. These gestures are usually always used with severe impatience.

While it is signed, dont forget to credit the art in WA. Its awesome to see a character that has existed since 2009 getting an article.

Feel free to stop by some of my WorldEmber articles if you want. My favorites are The Book of the Unquiet Dead, Outpost of the Moons, and The Emerald Hills. Feedback is always appreciated.

Turns out artist credits appear right at the bottom of an article by default, for the portraits, shown as "Character Portrait image: Gregory by R.Szubin / Quisi (me)" ~
