Prince Rokkar

Prince Rokkar was destined for greatness. From the day he could lift a weapon, the heir to the Kash’rodan Empire proved a fierce warrior, validating his legendary arro­gance. With his strength and determination, Rokkar’s place on the throne of Tyr—along with dominion over the five worlds of the Kash’rodan empire—was assured. However, fate had a different plan.   The collapse of The Lor Republic first seemed like a bless­ing. The Kash’rodan Empire abutted the galactic peace­keepers, buffering their expansion. With the Republic gone, the Kash’rodan began a campaign of conquest, and their prince fought valiantly beside his mother as planet after planet fell. The Kash’rodan empire grew to seven worlds, then ten!   But The Stellar Khanate jumped at the same oppor­tunity, with far great forces at their command. Planet after planet burned, crushed under the heel of the Star Khan, and soon too did the royal chambers on Tyr. The Khanate executed the royal family and drafted the mighty warrior race into service, but a Khanate Justi­car took a moment’s pity on the child he was ordered to execute, and instead banished him—along with his faithful nanny-drone, MC-1—to the forbidden reaches far beyond the Khanate’s borders.   Rokkar eventually crashed on the third planet in the Sol system, a place the natives called "the Earth." The inhabit­ants were fleshy and soft, unaware of their betters, and the ever-determined Rokkar decided he was the most quali­fied to teach them. Alone with no companion beyond an obsequious AI, Rokkar is now determined to recreate the glory of the Kash’rodan Empire, beginning with his adop­tive homeworld.

Physical Description

Apparel & Accessories

On his own, Rokkar is little more than a super-powered bully, but paired with MC-1, he becomes a force of de­struction. The Kash’rodan equip their nanny drones with hard light projectors to isolate, entertain, and protect their dangerously active children. MC-1—an advanced model in every regard—can create hard light models of any mundane or technological weapon it has encoun­tered, as well as protective shells to protect Rokkar from attacks and environmental dangers. As an advanced unit, it can also generate a pacifying field—useful for lulling the aggression out of children… or recruiting soldiers to serve Rokkar’s side.

Specialized Equipment

All Kash’rodan possess incredible strength and stamina thanks to their homeworld's harsh climate and severe axial tilt, as well as the ability to temporarily lock down their metabolism against all environmental dangers. Along with these racial abilities, Prince Rokkar is a master combatant, proficient in hand-to-hand combat, the use of martial weapons, and firearms. Though not a tactician by any measure, a lifetime of warrior training has provided Rokkar with insight into how to best utilize his strength, and how to improvise on a battlefield.

Mental characteristics

Intellectual Characteristics

Calling Rokkar "proud" is an injustice; in his mind there is no greater warrior than a warrior of the Kash’rodan Empire, no greater Kash’rodan warrior than a Tyrian, and no greater Tyrian than he. He is loud, obnoxious, stubborn, and dismissive of any point of view that does not align with his own—but also a boundless font of optimism and determination. In contrast to his petty, entitled personali­ty, Rokkar wields an unparalleled focus in battle. He’s still a teenager, though, and rude, impulsive, and petty. Rokkar’s narrow range of experience deludes him into believing he understands all the world, and he is disgusted by and dis­missive of most Earth customs.   By contrast, Rokkar’s “combat assistance drone,” MC-1, offers a constant stream of information and emotional support to its charge. The obsequious Maternal Com­pensator unit—a stand-in for the oft-absent warrior-queen who bore Rokkar 13 years ago—now acts as his royal advisor as well as loyal defender. The floating as­sistant is often the only advisor he will heed, as the ar­tificial intelligence has long-ago learned how to appeal to his vanity.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Rokkar plays well with others… so long as others obey his orders without question. Those who will not follow are harmless fools at best, or traitors at worst. Rokkar’s allies of choice are fellow warriors, and he has previously recruited Anvil, Tribal, and Loma Slife as hired muscle. Alone in the world, Rokkar treasures MC-1 more than he admits, and will tear open heaven and Earth to recover the drone if lost or stolen.   Prince Rokkar has sworn a blood oath to oppose and destroy the Stellar Khanate, the galactic force that over­threw his promised empire, and currently occupies his homeworld of Tyr. The prince will embrace any opportu­nity to work against Star-Khan without a second thought, even teaming up with mortal enemies.
