Dhaeriend do'Ziikin, once known as Newrias, is a drow and an alchemist. During one of his past lives he travelled with King Arthur of humanity as he, and his people, ventured and colonised space. Many lives later Dhae travelled with Clear aboard The Hopeful and visited the Cosmic Nullius with her and her crew.

Description

Appearance

Teenager

His face has the narrow aspect common to drow, but his cheeks still retain the fat roundness of his youth. His eyes are a brown so dark that they're almost indistinguishable from his pupils. His long white hair is in dreadlocks. He has a lean muscular frame. He went shirtless and wore only loose pants, sandals and a leather belt[Pan 1]

Adult

He has short hair, is generally as odd as most drow, including males, culturally have long hair. It's bright white while his skin is completely obsidian. He also does not wear traditional drow garments. Though drow like brightly coloured clothes, he will often wear hideously matching and garish colours[CatH 1].

Outfits

Loud Outfit

He wore a green and orange shirt, two colours that do not compliment each other. He has a pair of very short white shorts that probably are meant to be worn by women in hot countries of Earth. On his feet are sandals[CatH 1].

Cosmic Nullius Outfit

When on the Cosmic Nullius he wore a simple white shirt and khaki trousers and a trilby on his head[CatH 2].

Personality

He will often say abbreviations, such as TBH, out loud. He can be quite witty and will make some jokes but also attempts to be polite and even masks his rude words with politeness. He will open be quite open and honest, even admitting that he is a scoundrel when it comes to the issue of money[CatH 1].

History

Space Camelot

Outpost Finagle

Humans of Space Britain, led by King Arthur, chose to attempt colonisation of Caledonia - the homeworld of the drow[Pan 5]. After battles with some of the local drow[Pan 6], the humans decided to leave Caledonia and try to colonise elsewhere. They had met Boreans of Hyperborea on Caledonia and they gave the humans coordinates to a new world they could claim. Aboard Camelot was a Jupiterian named Admiral Ltexi, who tricked King Arthur with alternative coordinates. She brought them, instead of a lush world, to Outpost Finagle. She explained that the station was meant as a bastion of entertainments for all and Arthur decided to visit. On the station, Sir Palamedes was joined by his new squire, Newrias. Newrias was a drow boy who joined them after Caledonia as he was tired of the oppressive matriarchal regime. Newrias was afraid of getting lost and Palamedes gave the sage advice that no brave hero should admit that they are lost[Pan 1]. Sir Palamedes found a wedding chapel off of the main arcade where they were stopped by a Dorf who was guarding the chapel against unapproved divine or magical objects that may cause trouble with the conflicting religions within. Palamedes almost caused a fight with the Dorf but Newrias talked them both down. Palamedes, assured of his religious victory, marched into the chapel but Newrias smelt redthorn lintblossom, a plant from Caledonia, on the dorf and some of his memories began to awaken. As a teenage drow, his awakening was beginning and he was starting to remember his true self and his past lives and he recalled his alchemy. Newrias asked the dorf about his anti-magic attitude and he explained that he didn't personally hate magic but it was his job as a Witch-Warden. He further explained that others of the Myst Sector did hate magic and it was from there that the Witch-Wardens operated. Once the Myst Sector was ruled by a magocracy but the people overthrew them. This resonated with Newrias' desire to be free of Caledonia's matriarchy. As the dorf introduced himself as Egnarts, Newrias responded that his name was Dhae - the first time he remembered his true name thanks to his awakening memories[Pan 2].

Dhae was brought onboard The Hopeful by Green and Rui-Rho via The Lightstaff when Clear, the ship's captain, offered up passage to the Cosmic Nullius from Saturn. Green told grand tales of Clear before he ever even reached the ship's Hangar. He meets with Clear and Ltexi and after a brief exchange of witty banter he is led to his room by Rui-Rho. The robot, however, likes to tell very bad jokes, much to Dhae's horror[CatH 1].

The World of Tomorrow

The Hopeful came to the Cosmic Nullius, a colossal megaconstruct that is a sphere wrapped around a yellow star. Within its interior are a few of the original inner planets of the star system and the concave world of the Cosmic Nullius upon the inside of the sphere. The Hopeful docks at The Garage, an entire planet dedicated to docking incoming ships and transport services. Once on the Cosmic Nullius, the group slowly made towards the Saturn Consulate to escort Ambassador Uppity Bags. When Dhae mentioned that the Cosmic Nullius was even more impressive than the Outpost Finangle, which he had visited in a previous life, Uppity Bags wanted to inquire about the topic of past lives. Clear, however, quickly dismissed the topic as religious nonsense and they moved on to the consulate, which was part of the grounds for the Earth Embassy. The group then moved on without Uppity Bags and went to the Jupiter Embassy so that Admiral Ltexi could tell her people that she had returned from stasis[CatH 2].
