Xalub Xi is born on Vordaxia, a planet light-years away from Earth, in the sub-region of Terrakuhl - known for its severe climates and harsh living conditions. From an early age, Xi stands out due to their elongated head, piercing yellow eyes, and prominent cheekbones set against the framework of intricate gray scales marking their body. While many Vordaxians exhibit such features, Xi's patterning and expression imbue them with an ancient and almost regal appearance.

Raised within the confines of an isolated nomadic tribe, Xi's childhood is far from nurturing. The Vordaxian tribes adhere to strict codes of conduct, where only the strongest and most resilient survive. Xi, despite their intimidating physical presence, often finds themselves at odds with the tribal elders' expectations. A non-binary individual in a society with rigid gender roles, Xi is treated as an outcast from the beginning.

The monotonous, grayish backdrop of Terrakuhl becomes a reflection of Xi's existence – harsh, stoic, and unyielding. Their early years are spent mastering survival skills, learning the intricacies of combat, and enduring the societal scorn of being different. Their serpentine features add to the air of mystery, making them a frequent target of mistrust and rejection.

At the age of 18, a brutal conflict erupts between Xi’s tribe and a neighboring enclave. These skirmishes lead to Xi being captured by enemy forces and subsequently made a prisoner. Their now muscled neck, marked with intricate scale patterns that tell the story of their lineage, becomes a symbol of resilience against torment and subjugation.

Xi's time in captivity shapes their worldview, their anger tempered into a cold, calculated resolve. The grueling conditions hone Xi's still-growing strength, transforming their stoic demeanor into one of hardened silence. As days turn into years, the serpentine features – the elongated head, sharp facial lines, prominent cheekbones, and piercing yellow eyes – grow sharper, more defined, and inescapably frightening to their captors.

During their imprisonment, Xi learns the value of patience and strategy. They forge alliances with other prisoners, sharing knowledge and devising plans for escape. Their serious demeanor and ancient-like wisdom attract a following, earning them unexpected respect among the captives. But escape, they soon realize, is not just a matter of strength but of outsmarting a system that thrives on suppression.

At 27, Xi meticulously executes an escape plan that has taken years to perfect. The breakout is daring and fraught with peril, but their reptilian agility and strategic brilliance prevail. Free but forever marked by the years of captivity, Xi returns to Terrakuhl only to find their tribe gone, scattered, or obliterated by the continuing conflicts. Rather than seeking revenge, Xi chooses exile.

Now, at 31 years old, Xalub Xi is a wanderer, traveling through the myriad worlds that exist in the cosmic tapestry. Despite their outcast status and alien appearance, they carry an intimidating presence that commands attention and respect. Xi's piercing yellow eyes continue to scrutinize every environment they enter, their thin lips rarely breaking into a smile. Their muscular neck and long silhouette are constant reminders of both their heritage and the trials they have endured.
