Bowen

**Bowen** was a male Unoculan member of the Dawns, a group of privateers and freedom fighters who fought against tyranny and corruption throughout the Cassiopeia Galaxy. While his homeworld was a mystery to most, Bowen lived on the Solitude Plaza space station for a considerable amount of time, alongside the rest of his team and friends. He was infamous for his countless, dangerous travels around the Cassiopeia Galaxy.

Before becoming a member of the Dawns, Bowen was a member of a privateer group who called themselves the Seers.

## Biography

### Early Life: A Seer

Bowen was born in 5925 ASA. Because of how much he traveled around the galaxy, most of the people in Bowen's life did not know where his homeworld was. However, it was believed that Bowen had ancestral roots from the planet Unoculus because of his innate ability to see into the future.

At some point in his life, Bowen was a member of a privateer group comprised of other Unoculans like himself, called the Seers. He eventually left the group after an unspecified period of time. It was unknown whether Bowen and his group parted ways on amicable terms or if they severed ties from one another entirely.

### Traveling the Galaxy: A Friend of the Dawns

Bowen spent most of his adult life as a wanderer. He was accustomed to traveling all around the Cassiopeia Galaxy (and possibly beyond), having acquainted himself with many different people from many different worlds, all with distinct cultures, values, and traditions.

One day, Bowen took a job on a seedy world somewhere in the Cassiopeia Galaxy. Although he expected the mission to be a solo job, a group of freedom fighters and privateers known as the Dawns coincidentally accepted the same exact job. With no other choice, Bowen and the Dawns worked together to achieve the same goal and shared the profits upon completion of the mission. Throughout the course of the mission, an unlikely friendship was rooted between Bowen and the Dawns. The Dawns were led by a Dremirian woman named Annesidora, whom Bowen also naturally befriended.

Soon after, Bowen decided to join the Dawns to see where life would take him. He came to live with them on the space station Solitude Plaza, which was owned by the pirate captain Tiberius Stede of the *Gravity Well*. Bowen's time on the station left quite the impression on him, as he would remember Solitude Plaza for years to come and would eventually return to the station after his brief intermission as a member of the Dawns.

### In Psychiatric Care

For an unknown period in his life, it was believed that Bowen suffered from some form of mental struggle that proved too difficult for himself to bear. In 5955 ASA, Bowen admitted himself into the Sentinel Vundoria's Home of the Intergalactic Insane asylum, located on the planet Vundoria in the Central Expanse. As a patient at this mental institution, Bowen shared a room—Room 205—with a Heyrnese man named Renown, who claimed to have visions and meetings with the Architect who molded their universe.

Bowen would stay at this asylum for several years. Sometimes, he would get visitors like Ann of the Dawns. Over the long period of time he stayed at the asylum, Bowen would come to regret his decision and more strongly value his personal freedoms.

### Escape and Freedom

In the year 5957 ASA, Annesidora came to visit Coeus Franzafka, a founder of the Dawns, at Sentinel Vundoria's Home. This was one of just a few visits that the Dawns paid to the asylum throughout the year and the previous year. Ann's original head had been severed and taken by the Praeliorian Empire, but doctors on Solitude Plaza were able to give her a head transplant, using the head of a Dremirian woman named Sirius, who was also a founder of the Dawns and the lover of Coeus Franzafka when she was still alive. Bowen and Coeus discussed the tense matter of Ann's own individuality after being given the head of Sirius and, as a result, being influenced by the essence of Sirius.

It was during this visit that a swarm of violent Algathans raided the hospital. These Algathans were sent in by Praeliorian High Elite Cirioma Thystamel, who was accompanied by her Dremirian partner Petrolos, in order to get their hands on Annesidora. The imperial Praeliorians had previously discovered Annesidora's presence on Vundoria after she and her close friend and teammate Moon had made multiple visits to the asylum.

After an intense and bloody struggle, Annesidora managed to escape the asylum in one piece. Coeus Franzafka fled from the premises during the chaos of the fight. On the other hand, Bowen was taken by a horde of frenzied Algathans and carried off to parts unknown.

#### Brief Time With the Algathans

Bowen's time with the Algathans was significantly short-lived. Not too long after the raid on the Vundorian mental ward, Bowen showed up at the doorstep of the Dawns' apartment on Solitude Plaza covered in the blood of Algathans. It was assumed that the Algathans posed little threat or obstacle to Bowen, as the Unoculan was rather nonchalant about the whole ordeal and calmly proceeded to take a shower at the Dawns' apartment.

From then on, Bowen decided to live on Solitude Plaza with the rest of the Dawns at their apartment. Moon and Stede would often push Bowen into doing his part in helping to pay the bills.

### Mission to Praelior

During a secret mission on the planet Praelior, Bowen posed as a Praeliorian elite named Ego.

## Personality and Traits

Bowen was a Unoculan man with greenish-blue skin, dark midnight green hair, and a pale-lime-colored eye. He wore an ornate blindfold colored a blue reminiscent of the night sky.

If one word could have been used to describe Bowen, serene could have been an apt choice. Having seen much of what the vast cosmos had to offer, Bowen generally kept an open-mind with most things. With this established, not much was able to phase him, as more often than not, Bowen was the one who surprised his friends and colleagues with his often enigmatic behavior. Despite the chaos that surrounded his life, Bowen managed to stay calm and collected in the face of adversity. He was a highly perceptive and observant member of the Dawns.

## Skills and Abilities

As a Unoculan, Bowen possessed the natural ability to see into the future, although the clarity of this clairvoyance was not perfect, like for many Unoculans. Bowen was skilled in martial arts and knew how to wield weapons like staffs. He also had capabilities in magic, able to manifest or summon his own mystical swords out of thin air.

As a result of his many travels, Bowen was also a polyglot. He was able to speak many different languages beyond Common.
