Backstory Logline
0-Kovan is a loner whose world and body has been devoured by the void. When his lower half started to regenerate and he started becoming fully lucid again, he realized that he was the only one who mysteriously managed to survive, his body merged with pure void energy to the point where it fully reassembled his body. He became able to fight with the power of the void, he managed to escape his cosmic prison and ended up stranded on a planet called Lore. He now resides on Lore as a bounty hunter known as the Voidrunner who's trying to belong in this world.
Character
0-Kovan is a character who struggles with loneliness and belonging in an alien world and copes by doing what he does best: fighting. Meeting all sorts of colorful characters throughout his journey, he regards himself as a simple and shallow person. This self loathing coupled with his loneliness manifests itself into bottling up his emotions, masking it behind an apathetic showoff attitude, which eventually leads to sudden outbursts of aggression and overall destructive behavior.
People see 0-Kovan as a brash, simple, vulgar, destructive showoff who never takes things seriously and is only focused on beating people up. Therefore, people usually don't take the things he says and does that seriously either. Those who know him a bit better are more afraid and concerned for him due to his pent up aggression.
If he's not fighting or working out he's actually a pretty calm, dependable and easygoing friend to have in your life. He's got a relaxed attitude going with him as well as devotion and loyalty towards those he cares about.
Abilities
Void power allows him to produce and exert much more energy than a regular human being, and 0-Kovan particularly uses it to run and fight at incredible speeds. His speed allows his strikes to have much more power and velocity behind them.
Whenever he fights and especially runs with void power, crystals form on his back which traps some of his exerted energy. He can use the void crystals as a siphon to allow him to go even faster, they can heal him and they can even be used as armor or weapons to be thrown and manipulated. Thus 0-Kovan himself is a human weapon, but using his power (known as voidrunning) comes with a price.
He has to maintain constant balance as to not let his corruption overwhelm him, however there are situations where digging it back up could be beneficial to his voidrunning. Said corruption comes in 2 forms:
The most straightforward type, powered by aggression and desperation. It's a berserk state where 0-Kovan gains way more speed and power, but it obviously affects his thinking. He also becomes overheated as he will be running so fast to the point where he starts burning up in the atmosphere. If he's not careful enough, the void power in his body will be overloaded and he will explode, possibly taking Lore with him.
A more subtle type of corruption, blueshifting is powered by passivity, fear and shame. It's power is more internal as it affects his thinking, making him more strategic. It also strengthens his void energy, increasing its mass. This means that he'll sacrifice speed and power to be able to manipulate his void crystals more extensively. He mostly uses his crystals as a shield/armor to protect himself more effectively. Blueshifting may cause his void energy to become too dense, making its mass too much to endure. This can result in 0-Kovan petrifying himself. The power seeps out, slowly freezing everything around him. There's no stopping it, eventually this would petrify the entire cosmos.
Due to his instabilities and corruption, he needs to maintain self control and balance at all times. He risks corrupting people if he fights with his full arsenal of void power. Due to that danger, if he fights people, he will only use his human left hand.
