Born to the Galactic Church of Universal Causality current Imperial-Pontifex and the Princess Consort, on the first moon of Ontos, Ikuras is the youngest of four brothers. The moment he was capable, the youngest prince was put through the churches monastic education, his learning varying between mathematics, languages, sciences, statecraft and religion. Ikuras, in time, found his place in the group of brothers. Tonphas was the eldest and the militaristic one, with a mind of strategy and warfare; Mraden, the second eldest, was the scientist with an eye for chemistry; and Soryi was the risk taker. Ikuras himself was drawn to the  teachings of the church. While each member of his family holds a position of note within the Galactic Church, the youngest prince quickly rose to prominence within the church. At the age of 12, he joined the Cardinals' Collective through a mix of passion and royal influence, essentially becoming his fathers apprentice and second in matters of the Church.
 
  
Life seemed simple, to the young Ajencis. His path was set, as a priest instead of Royalty, giving grand sermons on Maseon I to masses of pilgrims and visiting other planets and their Universal Causality cathedrals. His role in life quickly changed when Tonphas, the eldest, was killed at the hands of an unknown assailant. The Ajencis family was thrown into a panic, all members being called to the Papal Palace until the threat was identified. Out of the three remaining children, only Mraden and Ikuras were present. After their collective grieving for the eldest son, the issue of succession arose. Mraden revealed he was unwilling to take up the position as leader of a church and an empire, content with his life as a researcher in a distant system, far from his family. With Soryi missing, eyes turned to the 15 year old Ikuras. It was no secret to Ikuras that his father was old, and with his other siblings unwilling or unable, his sense of duty pushed him to accept the position of first heir. Months later the assassin was caught, supposedly an unaffiliated apostate. In the time he was locked away in the Papal Palace, Ikuras' father approached him to discuss his new role. It is ancient tradition within the Pontifex houses for the heirs to go on journeys at a young age to mirror the church founders quest. Pilgrimages to 'primitive' planets. There, they would attempt to live among the people and effectively become one of them. 'In order to lead the people, you must first know the least fortunate of them.'

The Pilgrim's story begins with the enlightenment of his people at the hands of the Warmonger, ending their "primitive period" and ushering them into the beginning of a monastic age which continues to this day. Entrusted by the Galaxar with its absolute knowledge of Martial Arts, merely one facet of the war-entity, their lives would revolve around this act and the knowledge which came with it. They became a society which could be compared to the ways of Earth's Buddhist monks, divided by sects and focusing on certain teachings over others, but ultimately giving themselves to the pursuit of something higher - Oneness. Their world, nameless among the natives, was thus given called the Silent Monastery by alien visitors.  
  
The now 16 year old Ikuras set off on his journey after quiet goodbye to his family, hopping from planet to planet, from station to station using only shipping vessels and kindness from strangers. While catching a ride on a pirate vessel, Ikuras caught wind of a planet by the name of Sol-3. Fanciful costumes, feats of heroism and also a primitive dump. With the perfect location now in mind, he made his way for Earth.

The Monks devotion to the martial arts has lent its self to them becoming a naturally powerful people, with even the infants of their race being comparable to a low-mid tier superhero in terms of strength and capability. Despite various attempts to invade, annex, control and influence the Silent Monastery by other aliens, they all ultimately failed due to the power of the natives and their ability to act as one in times of need - not even the Star Guard dare try and "protect" them, as they are all too aware of their ability to do it themselves.

The Pilgrim was born under an ill-star, and with a certain energy that many of his people lacked, defined by his ability to "vocalize" to species outside of his own and break the silence of his world. As he grew, so did his fierce and youthful charisma, a quality unbecoming of the peaceful and calm Monks of the Silent Monastery. Although and eager combatant and student, he was born to the styles of the Eastern Pagoda, which espoused ways similar to Earth's Tai Chi, a largely non-combative region which focused on a peaceful mind-set above all else. It takes a certain kind of individual to turn an art of peace into a violent and downright lethal style, and the then child Pilgrim fit the bill. The flowing rivers which went around the rocks became an unstoppable torrent which sank them and caught them in their torrents. The Aquatic Flow Divining Stars of the Eastern Pagoda was warped into the Pilgrim's unique Cosmic Flow Removes Chaos. It was only a matter of time until the child was exiled from the Eastern Pagoda, a decision supported by its own parents and friends, and it was forced to become a wanderer. Deeply upset by the decision, he abided none the less. He travelled between the Pagoda regions, challenging those who stood in his way, and crushed them. The Cosmic Flow eventually bested all styles on the Silent Monastery, and even incorporated elements from the defeated.
  
Ikuras is a Onclestine male, an alien species with the identifying features of; two antennae, blue and purple skin pigments and (usually) symmetrical markings of the skin. Ikuras is also a high born, giving him the rare feature of completely black eyes. He is somewhat on the short side, standing at 5'8 with a slim build that only gives away signs of consistent physical activity, but not anywhere near intensive. Ikuras moves like a royal, back up right with a trained, confident and graceful swagger to his step. As far as looks go, one could imagine that, were Ikuras human, he'd be a pretty man with those soft features of his. Befitting his blood, Ikuras often dresses flamboyantly, having a liking for the colour gold.

Contrary to what his lineage would imply, Ikuras is actually a rather humble person. The first impression he usually gives off is kind, but distant, often inquiring heavily about the other while playing his own cards close to his chest. He is a strong believer in the Trinity Doctrine outlined in the Church of Universal Causality's teachings, to a zealous extent. He personally believes that the doctrines are applicable in most, if not any, situation. He will, at times, attempt to slip in the suggestion of taking up the Churches beliefs, but is not so missionary about it that he does not know when it is not welcome. In reality, Ikuras is an incredibly manipulative and political creature, as is expected of his sort, and what comes naturally to high born Onclestine.

Distinctly an alien, the Pilgrim is defined by his red skin, cone-like head and mouthless features with odd eyes which seem to give him complete vision around him. His vocalizations seem to be telepathic in nature, but with an almost mystical twist to it. His voice "echos" from him, audible even in the absence of telepathic ability and in the face of defences - he speaks without a mouth to do so, in short, understood by any and all species in the galaxy in their most native tongue and conveying the point of his words clearly. How he eats is unknown, always managing to pull it off when noone is looking. His body (despite being short) has evidently been forged from the many years of training and combat, lean and agile but containing coiled power within comparable and surpassing the most powerful Bricks on Earth.
Ikuras has no powers, as far as Onclestine are concerned. There are, however, several skills that his family are inclined towards.
+
  
*'''Expression Reading:''' Ikuras, his family and other high born Onclestine are naturals at 'hearing' the thoughts of sapient creatures through their facial expressions. To Ikuras, the human face is roughly fourty-four muscles which can be used to grant insight on individuals.  
+
Pilgrim's an odd character, prone to being rather "relaxed" in most situations and not putting his full effort into a lot of things, he views himself as long having passed the need to do so. He finds himself in a very much similar situation to his mentor, the Sojourner, in that he has to actively look for challenges and entertainment, and may even pass time by taking on a student for a couple of years before leaving them to their devices. While the Pilgrim may often posture in a near-villainous manner, threatening those he wishes to fight and such, but he is nowhere near the kind of individual to do so maliciously. Usually, the threats are reserved for bringing out the best in those he fights, to try and make individuals fight as if everything were on the line. Stars know that he is very much capable of following up with them at this point, and my inhabitants of the galaxy know it. His ultimate goal, however, is to find an art which inherently trumps his own and any other which he may employ, the ultimate fighting style.  
  
*'''Charisma:''' Ikuras and his family are speakers, representatives, leaders and generals. Over time, they've refined the art of exerting their presence in a way which makes people like them to some extent. This skill is slightly more difficult to apply to humans, as they have less exposure to aliens than the average space person Ikuras usually encounters.
+
<br>
  
*'''Contacts & Favours:''' The church and his family's influence is expansive, even this far out. Ikuras can call upon some reliable (or less so) sources for information and assistance.

*'''Arcanopulse Gloves:''' Before departing on his pilgrimage, Ikuras was instructed to take one item from the imperial armoury for self defence. The Arcanopulse Gloves collect ambient energy, to be unleashed in long range, destructive blasts or detonating orbs. Seasoned users of the Arcanopulse Gloves can apply them more creatively, but Ikuras is but a novice.

*'''Martial Arts''': Through the teachings of the Sojourner and his people, the Pilgrim has transcended the realms of mortality to join the ranks of the most powerful entities within cosmic space, and has earned the title the Northern Lord of Martial Arts - referencing the northern section of the galaxy.

History

The Pilgrim's story begins with the enlightenment of his people at the hands of the Warmonger, ending their "primitive period" and ushering them into the beginning of a monastic age which continues to this day. Entrusted by the Galaxar with its absolute knowledge of Martial Arts, merely one facet of the war-entity, their lives would revolve around this act and the knowledge which came with it. They became a society which could be compared to the ways of Earth's Buddhist monks, divided by sects and focusing on certain teachings over others, but ultimately giving themselves to the pursuit of something higher - Oneness. Their world, nameless among the natives, was thus given called the Silent Monastery by alien visitors.

The Monks devotion to the martial arts has lent its self to them becoming a naturally powerful people, with even the infants of their race being comparable to a low-mid tier superhero in terms of strength and capability. Despite various attempts to invade, annex, control and influence the Silent Monastery by other aliens, they all ultimately failed due to the power of the natives and their ability to act as one in times of need - not even the Star Guard dare try and "protect" them, as they are all too aware of their ability to do it themselves.

The Pilgrim was born under an ill-star, and with a certain energy that many of his people lacked, defined by his ability to "vocalize" to species outside of his own and break the silence of his world. As he grew, so did his fierce and youthful charisma, a quality unbecoming of the peaceful and calm Monks of the Silent Monastery. Although and eager combatant and student, he was born to the styles of the Eastern Pagoda, which espoused ways similar to Earth's Tai Chi, a largely non-combative region which focused on a peaceful mind-set above all else. It takes a certain kind of individual to turn an art of peace into a violent and downright lethal style, and the then child Pilgrim fit the bill. The flowing rivers which went around the rocks became an unstoppable torrent which sank them and caught them in their torrents. The Aquatic Flow Divining Stars of the Eastern Pagoda was warped into the Pilgrim's unique Cosmic Flow Removes Chaos. It was only a matter of time until the child was exiled from the Eastern Pagoda, a decision supported by its own parents and friends, and it was forced to become a wanderer. Deeply upset by the decision, he abided none the less. He travelled between the Pagoda regions, challenging those who stood in his way, and crushed them.

He had become the grandest of masters among his kind, a fighter without equal on his world. It was only a matter of time before he attracted the eye of something beyond his scope - before the Sojourner took interest in him.

Appearance & Personality

Distinctly an alien, the Pilgrim is defined by his red skin, cone-like head and mouthless features with odd eyes which seem to give him complete vision around him. His vocalizations seem to be telepathic in nature, but with an almost mystical twist to it.

His body (despite being short) has evidently been forged from the many years of training and combat, lean and agile but containing coiled power within comparable and surpassing the most powerful Bricks on Earth.

He finds himself in a very much similar situation to his mentor, the Sojourner, in that he has to actively look for challenges and entertainment, and may even pass time by taking on a student for a couple of years before leaving them to their devices.
