ABOUT
Compassionate, kind, and dutiful, but has little patience for willful ignorance, outright stupidity or needless cruelty. Decades of living in hiding have left him distrustful and cautious. After the war, he hid in Messus, where the bustle of different species meant he didn't stand out when hidden underneath a cloak and hood. When he could find the jobs, he worked as a mechanic, mostly for complex machinery not many know to repair.

That is, until he found an abandoned ketucari cub on the outskirts of the city.

Sometimes he still struggles with his past, and naturally, worries about his adopted daughter a lot. He often tries to be the voice of reason on her adventures (yes, her adventures, he doesn't want any adventures, thank you very much), with varying success. In spite of his unwillingness, he would never abandon her - he has taken responsibility for her and will see it through. And she is, very much, his Soul.
DESIGN
  • General build resembles a very tall akadri
  • Eyes and "heart" glow softly; it's only really obvious in the dark, but can be switched off for stealth
  • No facial expressions
  • His sword locks into his palm, he doesn't have to hold it
STRENGTHS
  • Hand-to-hand combat
  • Thinking things through, unlike some certain kadin
"You see... malevolent is another word for wicked."
WEAKNESSES
  • Wet
  • Sand
  • Anything that interferes with his machinery basically
STORY
After the war, the Malevolents that hadn't been destroyed in battle were mostly hunted down by the newly-freed ketucari as well as other races. Fifty years later, perhaps one or two hundred remained, living in hiding like other automatons, many working as hitmen in the dark. Their number kept dwindling whenever the one's cover blew - people generally weren't fond of automatons, much less of Malevolents. However over time, the wounds the war had left healed and the hatred cooled; it never disappeared but no one was actively hunting for the automatons any more either.
Mal hides in Messus, where the busy bustle of different species means he doesn't stand out when hidden underneath a cloak and hood. He has seen the worst and the best of people and, himself, has decided to live in peace and try to have a quiet existence, not harming anyone and hoping no one will harm him. When he can find the jobs, he works as a mechanic, mostly for complex machinery not many know to repair.
He finds an abandoned katucari cub on the outskirts of the city... who quickly grew up to be a most curious explorer from birth. He managed to get her to adulthood withour grave accident. Even though a Malevolent and a ketucari in the same place were even less welcome in Messus than one alone; he made double sure to disguise himself well.
