Long Description
Short Description:
Overview: Disaché is an alien (a Sanier) from an expansive sci-fi universe where a transcended species put in place Gates to connect different inhabited planets throughout the galaxy (or rather throughout parallel versions of the galaxy).
The Sanier homeworld is a little blue planet orbiting a yellow star along with seven other major planets… and if that sounds familiar, it’s because the planet is a parallel universe twin to humanity’s Earth. Similar in some ways, different than others, intertwined and influencing each other. It’s no surprise then that the name that Disaché knows the planet by - Miva - essentially translates to ‘earth’ or ‘ground’.
Species: Saniers are a bipedal species that looks something like a cross between a human and a mandrill or drill. They’re shorter on average than humans (Disaché is fairly tall at 5’2), mostly covered in fur, and have small tails primarily composed of fatty tissue.
A chance duplication event far back in their evolutionary tree has resulted in them having four sets of eyes and ears (as well as a double-lobed nasal cavities, but those aren’t visible as they have a single pair of nostrils). The upper eyes are used during daytime-level lighting conditions, while the secondary eyes are opened in dim-to-dark lighting conditions, giving them better night vision than humans (however, they have much less color acuity than humans, and can only really differentiate red, green, and blue). They have a wider range of hearing than humans tend to, and a better ability to pinpoint sound direction, but otherwise have about the same hearing sensitivity as a human.
History: Much like Earth, Miva was home to many cultures and civilizations. The civilization Disaché was born into was the Holy Empire of the Enlightened, a militant theocracy bent on converting and conquering the world.
While she questioned Enlightened doctrine in secret, Disaché’s mother Nunana still managed to become a highly renowned scientist and medical doctor within the empire, and during her studies discovered ancient nanotechnology related to the Gates, that had near limitless potential. Though she tried to hide this from the Enlightened, it came to light when a young Disaché - a budding genius and scientific prodigy - unlocked the key to the ancient technology and brought it to the attention of all.
Hailing Disaché as a chosen one, the Enlightened used him to create several disturbing weapons, including attempts at mind control and DNA-targeted disassemblers that almost wiped out an entire alien race, and put the Saniers at war with several other races in the galaxy. The war ended when the nanobots on Miva went out of control resulting in a ‘grey goo’ event that destroyed the majority of Disaché’s species as well as the planet.
Taken in by the people they’d been at war with (the Istiff Alliance), the remaining Sanier were given the choice to join their intergalactic society or be resettled on an uninhabited planet. Disaché chose the IA and custody of him was given to a Shumel family (a race of very large, very chill aliens). Growing up with them, he almost became a productive member of society. He studied medicine, became a doctor, performed medical research under the ethical guidelines of the IA, started a family…
But eventually Disaché decided the IA was too restrictive for him, so he escaped to the rather lawless outer edges of human space to continue his nanotech research. Along the way he acquired a mind-controlled bodyguard (Aeront) and committed a lot of very unethical research.
Personality: After a childhood of being doted on by his mother and praised by the Enlightened, Disaché is a spoiled brat through to adulthood. He’s incredibly selfish, lacking in emotional maturity, and dislikes being independent. He’s gone through a steady succession of people (his mother, the Enlightened, his Shumel family, his wife, Aeront…) willing to take care of most of his needs from food preparation to grooming that he hates having to actually take care of himself.
Beyond just being selfish, he also has no empathy for other people, making Disaché the absolute center of his own universe. Disaché wants what he wants when he wants it, and has no concerns about whether or not what he wants will hurt anybody. He also holds absolutely no guilt over the many, many people whose deaths he is responsible for, and has no qualms about hurting people to accomplish his goals. Outside of that he doesn’t particularly enjoy hurting anybody (unless they piss him off), he just… really doesn’t care about them. At all. Except where they might be useful to him. He’s learned enough about living around normal people with empathy that he can at least pretend to be a productive member of society. If a rather assholish one.
With his inflated sense of superiority - particularly over other species, thank the Enlightened’s dogma for that bit of xenophobia - Disaché is very smug and often belittling towards other people. However, he absolutely cannot take what he dishes out, and has a quick temper and is prone to tantrums.
Disaché has developed an incredibly warped version of Enlightened doctrine, that places himself as the blessed of the Goddess and God, making whatever he wants right, and discarding any parts of the doctrine that don’t suit his purposes. Being raised by Nunana means he doesn’t care at all about the sanctity of pair bonds or children being born out of wedlock, but he did pick up some Enlightened prejudices, such as the aforementioned xenophobia, disdain for other religions, and distaste for same-sex pairings.
After a childhood near-assassination, Disaché developed an active fear of death - he’s the most important person in the universe, he can’t die - which fed into his general research into immortality and the development of Endless in particular. He is also very particular about the type of immortality he wants. While he could technically achieve a form of immortality by digitizing his consciousness, he would only consider that a pale copy of himself and be deeply jealous of it while still wanting his own brain and body to be unkillable.
