[color=070809][b]Ssskarsciv[/b][/color] That was his name, the name his parents gave him when he was born on his home planet of Risskorjav, sector 314-V standing south on the border of the Giant Ice Nebula that expands hundreds of thousands of light years, encompassing the whole northern sector of the galaxy. It was called the "Ice Nebula" because of the blue light it possessed, light reflected from the numerous stars surrounding it. Stars which coincidentally were blue themselves. Blue Stragglers they were called, countless of them surrounded the Nebula. Surprisingly they never got past the main sequence so they have been shining brightly way past their expiration date.

The planet itself is a desert, located past the frost line, a line beyond which all water turns into ice. For ages the inhabitants have been mining frozen ice from the depths of the ground and turning it into a drinkable cooler. The water on the planet has special qualities, it slows down and temporarily freezes the Fusion process that happens within the body of every Srathssarkthan, the same fusion process which gives them tremendous power by allowing them to release highly destructive bursts of energy from their mouths, also kills them slowly. The "older" they get the more powerful the energy releases are and they become mandatory. Past a certain age, their people have a tradition, once they feel that they can't contain the outbursts of power, they perform a ritualistic suicide and are honored by everyone around them until the end and after. Certainly there are those who don't wanna die and go on a rampage, but that is where the De-Fusion Corps comes in. Eliminating the most dangerous of them is their job and Ssskarsciv was the leader of the Corps. That all happened before the insurrection. A tragedy which led to the extermination of every single Srathssarkthan exept Ssskarsciv, the Princess, and the daughter of the Insurrectionist's leader, sister to Ssskarsciv, Anjesssa.

Leaving the history behind, lets focus on the present, how does Ssskarsciv look. He is 189 cm tall, weighing at 193 kg, his body is made of a special metal in a black metallic color.

His eyes are a dark amber in color with big black vertical slits for pupils. His night vision is extraordinary but suffers greatly in daylight and for this case he has included eye googles which regulate the light, also with enhancing abilities which he uses during the day. He has 3 eye lids which help protect his eyes from sudden bursts of light among other things. The neck is composed of tightly compressed metal rings which open slightly to occasionally blow of steam whenever the temperature of the inner body rises above normal levels. The metal that serves as a skin doesn't conduct electricity and isn't affected by electromagnetic currents but it's a superior conductor of heat, making staying in hot environments very dangerous. His tail reaches up to 5 meters when extended and 2 meters when normal, thickest in the base of his spine, being made by the same kind of compressed rings as his throat but these ones have a different function. They can open and retract within to effectively make the tail slimmer and taller. On the end of the tail there is a hole in which is sheathed a retractable stinger. The stinger itself has a smaller hole in the tip in order to summon the energy that is released from the inner fusion of the body, effectively creating a high powered short ranged plasma torch. He also has a breathing apparatus since most planets don't have the same concentration of elements in the atmosphere as his planet.

Since leaving his home planet Ssskarsciv has been in search of the Princess. The royal family of his race has a special ability, a key factor to reviving the Srathssarkthan. One of the jobs he found he was good at was being a mercenary. Soon he found himself being one of the most requested hired claw in that sector of the galaxy. Assassination missions, bounties, escort missions, being brought to fight in different wars on different planets, he did it all and earned a name and reputation for himself as the Black Claw. This, coming from those who witnessed him in combat, how he ripped his victims to shreds with a single swipe of his claw.
