general

I had this floating around and figured I'd put it up while I'm trying to break my dead art mood.

General Sval, literally my only loyalist character. 6 - 6 He's old, but hey you know how them Irken genetics keep em' lookin' good forever right? ^sob

Sval is pretty significant in Korr's AND Jasper's past, considering General is the only class that outranks Elites, in my head canon at least. I know a lot of people say Elite is top of the top. Sval commands the front line attacks on most planets, conducting campaigns that consist of years at a time while taking a planet by siege depending on how primitive or complex the society inhabiting it is.

He is a massive elitist and overall dickhead in aspects of his morals and behavior; he won't talk to citizens who aren't of upper class, for instance, and genuinely believes that defectives and rebels are less than a person, and more of objects and animals that deserve little pity or mercy since their pak coding is corrupted. This also includes anyone who isn't Irken, with the exception of FEW business contacts who are of Vortian descent. ( Yes, he is a racist, there you go. I have to be realistic to what an Irken higher up would be for the Empire peeps )

So while yes, I'll admit he's an asshole ( as most of my bbs are ), he does have some good things to him - fiercely loyal to the Empire and his soldiers, willing to put his life on the line for one of them if it comes down to it - especially his Elites.

When his pak ISN'T fully in 'campaign' mode and activated, he enjoys classy things like relaxing in his estate, attending theater shows, shopping, and other high society shit, like balls. Mhm. This is very rare though - his military coding is almost always active, indicated by the glowing General chip installed on the frontal lobe - hey hey.

Let me stress again he IS old, by Irken standards he's definitely in his 50's - but Irkens don't show age the way humans do. Korr and Jasper were only teenagers when they first met him, even then, he was still well into adulthood. Eventually I'll sketch up the short comic I've had in my head forever of these guys - military shenanigans and all.

He genuinely is the last person you want to run into on the field if you aren't on the Empire's side - this goes for rebels, aliens, anything of the like. He isn't only in charge of decimating species on foreign planets, he also reclaims planets from rebels for the Empire. <D

Due to the nature of this guy it is extremely unlikely I'd roleplay him unless the characters he's interacting with were civilians, military themselves - he'd kill or arrest almost every rebel, so its hard for me to imagine that being fun for other people. He also isn't a mercenary, so there'd be no reason for him to individually pursue anyone. That's his Elite's jobs. OH YEAH all that fancy stuff on his antennae - he actually has hearing aids installed inside of his scythes, as over time being around explosions constantly takes a toll on your ability to hear correctly. Poor bb

I have a love hate for this guy because it's hard to say if he's good or evil in general. =u= Hmhm
