Ergazo Sipal

**Ergazo Sipal** was an Antumbrian labourer from the planet Cassiopeia Prime. He was part of the United Cassiopeian Republic expedition team that was sent to the planet Kharaal Baina, where he met his wife, Beth Sipal.

## Biography

### Early Life

Ergazo Sipal was born on Cassiopeia Prime. Eventually in his early adulthood, he became a labourer for the UCR, being put onto any big projects that called for labourers if necessary.

### Job On Kharaal Baina

Late in 5956 ASA, Ergazo Sipal was hired for labor for an expedition to the planet of Kharaal Baina. It was here where he met Beth, an Ologan researcher and scientist. The two encountered several abnormalities on the planet, as the planet had an ancient curse placed onto it by the Deceiver. This curse manifested in the ancient pyramids of the planet, which were said to have been there well before anyone migrated to the planet long ago.

Ergazo and Beth accompanied fellow researcher Jasiruusir when the latter decided to ask the native Bainan villagers about the dire situation on Kharaal Baina. Jas spoke to a scarred fruit vendor with white scleras and white irises, as well as a mother named Ekhün who managed to speak little Common. The three Republic workers learned that many ships that came by Kharaal Baina crashed, and that the villages of the planet had few resources and poor soil for cultivating healthy crops. The fruit vendor even informed the three Republic workers on how the ships of the first Bainan colonists broke down long ago, so fleeing the planet was not an option for them.

#### Exploring the Pyramids/Meeting the Dark God

Researchers Jas, Alma Erifuh, and some members of the expedition team eventually ventured into the pyramids of Kharaal Baina, as many Bainans believed them to be the source of the planet's curse. Beth was hesitant to go with the expedition team into the pyramids, but Ergazo was willing to come along and protect her. Within the pyramids, the expedition team discovered ancient murals and legends. Some of the murals showed a pantheon of beings, with a more ghostly an undead one being exiled from their ranks. Others showed this being devising some sort of revenge plot.

Eventually, the expedition team was split up through the dark magic forces of the pyramids, leaving Beth and Ergazo alone by themselves. The Deceiver appeared before the two of them, forming himself out of green smoke. He messed with Beth's mind, teasing her for being fond of Ergazo for being everything she wasn't. The Deceiver implied that it was possibly that she wanted something more permanent than a protector, before fading away. Beth and Ergazo took this as a romantic bond, flustered from the odd encounter with the dark god.

#### Conclusion

The curse was eventually lifted after the Deceiver met with the UCR expedition team, and so Ergazo and her colleagues were able to leave Kharaal Baina, which later joined the UCR for further aid. Kharaal Baina was allowed to finally prosper, with life and purity returning to the once accursed planet.

### Marriage

After the incidents on Kharaal Baina, Ergazo and Beth got closer and eventually wed. They lived together on Cassiopeia Prime ever since.

## Personality and Traits

Ergazo was an Antumbrian man with red skin, dark red hair, and coral orange-colored eyes. As an Antumbrian, Ergazo had a strong build fit for his job as a labourer.

Ergazo encompassed the intense vigor that is seen among many other Antumbrians, but was much less pushy than one would expect. With good intentions in mind, Sipal loved to make friends and help those in need, simply out of the kindness of his heart. He tried to make friendly first impressions to coworkers during expeditions.

Sipal found magic to be a creepy force of nature, since he didn't wield it himself.
