Henry Keene

Player Name: VelociRapper

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Species: Frilled-necked Lizard

Height & Weight: 5'10", 155 lbs.

Physical Description
Henry's scale coloration is largely black, with orange speckling highlighting his forehead, chest, and legs. The bottom half of his frill is solid orange, the top solid black. Henry used to wear a heavy robe with the hood up, but has now changed to wearing a green poncho with white angular embellishments over a collared work shirt with pants. The frilled lizard is not muscular, but a stint of ranchwork and a couple months wandering the desert have toughened him up somewhat. The lizard seems borderline nervous at times, or at the very least alert, since he looks around constantly.

Mental Description
The explosions and subsequent blame Henry assumed for them took a toll on him. The interrogations and trial destroyed much of his self-esteem, and when he arrived on Sutekh, he was a wreck. He lived the next four years of his life withdrawn and unable to show himself to others, afraid that somehow his freakish powers could be seen by anyone. Recently, he has begun to recover and is slowly opening up and trying to reintegrate into society. Although he can speak coherently again, it is difficult for him to speak to strangers. He is also very afraid of revealing his powers to anyone. Henry used to be in the habit of covering his entire body in case somehow his powers altered his appearance, but has moved away from this.

History
Henry was born in the city of Marnossos, on the planet Beta Persei. He was quickly identified as being rather gifted in school and was placed in advanced programs. While his family was not rich by any means, his parents were slowly moving into larger and larger homes to better accomodate Henry and his brother. Things were going well.

On Henry's 15th birthday, at the party in his apartment, two explosions ocurred. Of the 35 attendees, 31 died. Almost half of the 80 residents in the complex also died. Of the four survivors at the party, two suffered third degree burns and bruises from collapsing debris, Henry's brother was knocked into a coma from severe head trauma. Henry himself was unharmed.

The police began investigating, and declared that a homemade bomb device in Henry's room had gone off, and ruptured a gas line which exploded seconds after. Looking for a quick resolution, the police charged Henry four days after with arson, 75 counts of murder, 6 counts of mayhem, 12 counts of battery, and terrorism. Public opinion was divided, since many were thirsty for blood while others doubted the young lizard to be capable of such a heinous act. Henry had no criminal record, his psychiatric evaluation said he lacked a murderous disposition, and the lizard seemed to lack the knowledge to make a bomb. After a court battle that lasted a little less than a year, Henry was finally sentenced to permanent exile on Sutekh, and was promptly shuttled off of Beta Persei, away from his only home of Marnossos.

Henry lived quietly in a shack for the next four years, not too far from Dusty Springs. It was out of the way and avoided most trouble, until a gang of primates visited...

Posessions
Henry does not keep much on his person other than a bag of money, his savings from working on a ranch.
