( manu bennett/ azog the defiler, 53, cis man, he/him ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that ALEXANDER DE PAZ is a a BOUNCER that works in SECTOR 6. According to the file, they’re a mutant with the power of ORC PHYSIOLOGY. That must be why they’re DOMINANT and TEMPERAMENTAL. If you ask me, they remind me of chalk white knuckles buried in blood-matted fur, a low growl caught in the back of a throat, and a protective streak written in blood. They are affiliated with NOBODY.

The de Paz's found Xander abandoned in the wastelands. This was shortly after armageddon, and he was a chalky, maggoty looking little baby with a stone cold expression on his face in spite of his abandonment. They thought he was just the cutest lil guy! He was the impetus for their relationship becoming a lifelong thing, and they decided almost immediately that they wanted a huge and perfect mutant family.
After Xander, a whole brood of mutant children followed. Xander naturally fell into his role as a leader, being the oldest brother. He might not be related by blood, but he was family nonetheless. He was a vicious, violent child with a mean streak, but he was unendingly loyal to his family.
His baby sister Xiomara was born last of all, with a considerable gap between Xio and the rest of them - she was an accident when their parents were older, but a happy accident. She became everyone's baby, really, and Xander doted on her like the rest of them. He even let her name his mutant wolf beast companion thing - which in hindsight was stupid, because she was still a child and now he has a beast called Meatball. But what, he's gonna say NO to his baby sister? :/
Things fell apart when both parents died in quick succession. For a time Xander became the de facto leader of the clan. And then one of the middle siblings told Xander Xio had died (which she had not. The sibling just said this because he discovered Xio had taken their mother's appearance, and she was dead to THEM due to this disrespect. Xander's literal ass took this at face value and middle sibling rolled with it).
Things had been slightly falling apart before, and Xio's 'death' didn't help. In the end Xander took off with Meatball, feeling like a failure for being unable to rally his family. Insert warlord of the wastes life for a few months here. He then learned an unfortunate thing about his mutation: he's very, very virile. And he has left a whole string of illegitimate children in his wake. He learned this when one particularly angry orc daughter hunted him down and tried to kill him. That's when he got found by scavengers from Sol City, and brought in for recuperation! That's why he's here now.
questionnaire:
how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement?
Not a fan! He likes to be out and about. But he definitely needed the medical support, and he's curious enough to stick around... at least for a while.
do they trust the council’s leadership? why or why not?
Absolutely not. Xander trusts one leader: Xander.
if they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? if they didn’t, why not? were they happy with their assignment or not?
He did not. He's fine with it, he guesses, because there are worse things than hanging around a bar with plenty of booze and beautiful women! But he sort of resents it because he just sort of resents being told what to do in general.
what’s one object that they always keep on their person?

(mutant only section)
what is your character’s ability (or abilities)?
Orc physiology.
are they gen i or gen ii?
Gen I.
what can your character do? what are their strengths?
Mostly he appears as a (large, admittedly) man. But he can just straight up turn into an orc, usually when he's mega angry. He looks like Azog the Defiler in orc form. Some of his abilities follow:
Canine companionship. Dogs and dog adjacent beasts flock to him!
Feral mind. He's angry, and when he really gets mad he loses higher reasoning. This makes him physically stronger though, which is nice for him.
Indomitable lust. This power is sus so I have interpreted this as super-virility, he's been knocking women up left right and centre his whole life. This man NEEDS to wrap it.
Enhanced condition. Xander, in human or orc form, is fast and strong and fast to heal and suchlike.
what can’t they do? what are their weaknesses?
Honestly most of his powers have downsides!
is there anything else you’d like to specify about them?
Even in human form he's 6'8, so you can tell there's something a bit odd going on with him. His ears are also pointy and his teeth are sharp.
