Aloridane

**Aloridane** (Alor for short) is a contestant in the Center of the Universe OCT. He encountered M4sk atop the Aether Crest in a drunken haze. Assuming she was a hallucination, (seeing as it would be impossible for a small child to survive in such altitudes) he jokingly accepted her offer and later found himself on the S.S Ohsea. With no grasp of the magnitude of this tournament and no knowledge of what he's up against, Alor is in for a rough time.

Abilities/Weaponry

* Alor has no divine, otherworldly or elemental abilities though his innate athleticism, flexibility and acrobatics are deadly in conjunction to his array of gadgets. He has no formal martial arts training but has years of experience fighting off pirates and thugs from his cargo.
* His Heffacrimian body gives him incredible endurance. Powerful legs that shatter stone, tough nails used for climbing and a pair of strong, distinguishing eyes.
* BlunderBluff: An enhanced flare gun that really packs a punch. Can fire 3 shots before reloading
* Split Ends: A blade that morphs from a dagger, to a saber, to a Kusarigama respectively through a series of motions on the hilt.
* Kyodium Darts: Tiny explosive darts that Alor carries in bulk. They're small but create a large explosion. They have a set timer however.
* Kyodium Lancet: A tiny blade that cannot harm organic matter. It creates one way wormholes and runs on a gauge system. If the user tries to warp before letting it recharge it will inflict sever pain.

**Background**

Aloridane Tidri Nexton hails from the Heffacrimian race. a tall, mammalian-reptile hybrid alien race living in the far-off reaches of space. They thrive in higher altitudes and are built to withstand the cold and pressure at such heights on top of having innate jumping and climbing abilities with their powerful legs and claws. Alor had a rough upbringing by his hardy parents. Putting him through harsh trials throughout his life to toughen him up to make up for his runtiness. At one point they left him to fend for himself on a planet with an ecosystem shrouded by a perpetual darkness where he met Ekiri, one of the locals who was also a talented thief. It was through her, Alor got into crime and together they lived off of the belongings of others more fortunate than them. After a half-hearted reunion with his family they parted ways. Alor got into the black market and worked his way up to being a trusted supply chain. Naturally he'd expect there to be some two-coats in his hired crew. He anticipated a mutiny but didn't think he'd be so careless as to let it happen 3 times. Upon the third and final time he ran into Ekiri after being booted off his latest ship. She was completely reformed and now works for the law as a special unit. After hearing his escapades since their parting she pitched the idea of reformation to him as well and to make a more honest living. Now he works as a freelance ship for hire and partakes in odd jobs though his past reputation often drives away customers in order to make a name for himself and live a thrilling but downlow life.

**Feats(?)**

* Capable of surviving a fall from the atmosphere (he'd be heavily wounded of course)
* Mutinied on 3 separate occasions, you can knock him down but he's almost never out unless he truly believes he should bail. He's surprisingly stubborn when he sets his mind to something.
* Captain of the ship; "The Good Tidings", and a nigh endless crew.

**Personality and Goals**

* Aloridane is quite the rotten charm. He often attempts to sweet talk his way through most encounters though most of its a front for his selfish intentions. However once the schmoozer act is dropped his rough temperament begins to bleed through. Life hasn't been very kind to him throughout his life as he was always screwed over by the people around him which developed some trust issues. But that was a long time ago. Now he's trying to be a better person and drop his old habits. Now he's more laidback and melancholy but still has his malicious tendencies.
* He’s very wry and insensitive in his comments but he’s been all over the place so he’s very street savvy. He can come off as rude but he genuinely wants to turn his life around for the better. While he's currently working as a freelancer, his current side occupation is intercepting comets with his ship: The Good Tidings, in order to sell the rare minerals inside so he can retire to a life of luxury on his own private planet.
