## Biography

### Early Life and Career

Achroite Tourmaline was born on the planet Auricson, a urban world of metal people that prided itself in its far-reaching corporations. Having grown up in a world of powerful corporations and shady business practices, Achroite knew from early on that he wanted to achieve greatness and success. He began his career as an entrepreneur, climbing up corporate ladders and making connections with the right people in order to secure his own positions of power.

By the time he was an adult, Achroite sat on the board of directors for Tourmaline Industries, along with another Auricsonian man who eventually became known as "Boss". Boss wanted to steer Tourmaline Industries in a different direction than what Achroite was comfortable with. Through ways and reasons unknown, Boss was eventually no longer a member of the board of directors, and Achroite became the chief executive officer of Tourmaline Industries.

### The Noir Era

By the time of the Noir Era, Achroite had managed to maintain his position as CEO of Tourmaline Industries. He was particularly close with one of his employees, Fabulis Carnelian, and treated her as if she were a daughter.

In an attempt to maximize the power of Auricson Space with its conglomerates and corporations, Achroite allied himself with several other powerful corporate leaders: Palus Dier, Emeril Jahd, and Sentinel Marcas Rhodes of Auricson. For his part in their grand scheme, Achroite siphoned resources and funds from smaller entities on Auricson that would go relatively unnoticed by the larger populace. He subsequently used his mercenaries and hired guns to "silence" people that became too much of a risk in regards to the overall plan, as well as to silence those he decided were "sticking their noses where they didn't belong".

To his dismay, one of the few people bold enough to look deeper into his inner workings was his own daughter-figure, Fabulis.

## Personality and Traits

Achroite Tourmaline was an Auricsonian man and, as such, had golden skin, golden eyes, and golden hair as a man who was made entirely out of gold. As as corporate overlord, Achro kept a flashy yet formal appearance to denote his status to the rest of the world.

To Achroite, anything that could increase the power and control he and his company had within the galaxy was fair game. Achroite was not above working with the underworld of the galaxy if it meant securing his own assets and power over others. An outwardly charismatic man, many came to fear and be intimidated by Achroite for how he managed to manipulate the world around him, just enough to keep Tourmaline Industries alive for hundreds of years. He didn't seem to have any particular qualms about profiting from weapons of destruction and warfare.

## Skills and Abilities

As an Auricsonian, Achroite had the biological ability to transform into a monster-like being at will.
