Name:Makuu Warden Calaboose Lonesome
Alias:Stony Lonesome
Age:25,000 (actually 25,323, but age is just a number)
Gender: Male.
Alignment:Neutral, Lawful Neutral
Appearance:Warden Lonesome is over seven feet tall, and incredibly muscular. Of course, it's hard to tell due to alien anatomy. He's got scars from inmates all over his body. His coat is the same style as the one he got his first day on the job, back in his mid-200's- but the original decayed long ago.
PersonalityStony Lonesome is a dedicated law enforcer, even after thousands of years as a prison warden. He knows that many of his inmates were driven to crime by circumstance or the heat of passion, and treats them with a great deal of kindness. Of course, not all prisoners stole to feed their family or murdered a man for sleeping with their wife. There's the serial killers. There's the rapists. The seditionists. The terrorists. These are the ones he treats like a stereotypical warden, calling them "maggots" and seldom giving them time in the yard... that is, before the work release program.
Powers:As an immortal alien jailer, Calaboose is expected to keep the rowdiest, meanest scumbags the galaxy has to offer in line. Beneath his jailer's outfit, he has a thick hide capable of stopping just about any form of piercing or bludgeoning weapon- from shivs to railguns. Additionally, he's trained to the peak of physical perfection- deadlifting a semi truck is a simple task for the warden. He can control the chains on the back of his coat to grapple foes as well.
Weapons:Those pauldrons and drills aren't just for show. They're intended to deal with "invulnerable" armor and "unbreakable" weapons, shredding away defensive measures and snapping weapons in two. Most importantly, however, are his Gaoler Gauntlets. These enhance his already incredible strength, allowing him to punch a foe so hard that reality buckles, shunting his foe into one of the cells in his Makuu Space Prison.
Fighting Style:Necklifts, grappling, and brute force.
Signature Moves:Incarceration Crush: Punches the foe, sending them into Makuu Space.
History:Makuu Spaces: the quirks in the fabric of space and time where galactic society has shoved its criminals for millenia. Throughout Makuu Space are hundreds of thousands of prisons, with inmates ranging from nonviolent offenders to serial killers and war criminals. Thousands of years ago, as a young man of 268 and extensive experience as a policeman and prison guard, Cal Lonesome was given a position as the warden of the Makuu Space of a planet inhabited by a diverse array of life. Such a planet was deemed perfect for the rehabilitation of prisoners. Of course, millenia passed, the Earthlings blew themselves back to the stone age multiple times, and business in the prison went on as usual. Stony Lonesome, and the people of the universe as a whole, mourned the state of the planet, seeing the human race's continuous cycle of death, death, and suicide. But still, he was bound by the law.
His prison was established long before humans settled into societies. In accordance with galactic law, prisoners must receive time in an open space for exercise- but Makuu Space is a dangerous, unstable place which discourages escapes. As such, he's required to use the nearest habitable planet for an exercise yard. Unfortunately for the humans, that's Earth. But it gets worse. Galactic civilization as a whole doesn't acknowledge Earth as an inhabited planet- it seems like the natives can't go more than a few centuries without blowing themselves back to square one. In fact, about 99.9% of galactic society regards humans as wildlife. Were there fewer humans, an endangered species status might give them SOME protection from space criminals- unfortunately, there's billions, and they're counted as an invasive species. Effectively, this means that the space criminals Stony Lonesome releases into the yard are acting entirely within the bounds of the law.
Because of the unstable and volatile nature of Earth's society, the Makuu Prison Board has recently instituted a unique work release program for those in the Makuu Space near Earth: In order to restore the planet to a state safe for rehabilitation of the galaxy's quadrillions of prisoners, the invasive wildlife's gotta go. And even the worst prisoners can get time off their sentence for helping with the infestation.
Skills:The warden has an extensive background in law enforcement, over a century- of course, his experience is with the enforcement of the laws of the galactic federation, which Earth is not a part of- or protected by.
Weaknesses:He's bound by galactic penal codes. His hide also provides little defense against selenium weapons and pinching.
Story Arc Ideas:Surprise! Vigilantism is against galactic law.
