Background
Nix was born into a wealthy corporate family that controls interest in several starship and hyperdrive design and construction corporations. As the eldest son, he was considered the primary heir to the family's business and fortunes. However, as a youth, Nix grew to feel that his family and its business endeavors were at least partially responsible for the heavily polluted state of planet Duro and resolved to do something about it. His family cautioned that if he pursued such 'foolhardy' positions, they would not be able to pass the business on to him as he would be politically untouchable. Accepting that fate, Nix took a portion of his inheritance, outfitted himself for travel, purchased a ship, and left for the Outer Rim to build a new Keth'al corporate empire. One built on responsible development, sustainability, and returning Duro to a clean and livable state.
Motivation
Creation - Business
Nix is motivated to build a sustainable, responsible, corporate empire. He wishes to use his profits to both pursue the clean-up of Duro and research and develop technologies that benefit and give back to society as a whole. He is driven by a felt responsibility to be a "good citizen" and to show that one can build a successful corporate empire while doing so.
Obligations
Disgraced ( 20 )
The Keth'al family has, for generations, held controlling interest in several starship and hyperdrive building corporations on Duro. Nix has grown to feel that his family is at least partially responsible for the current toxic state of the planet and has announced his intentions to atone for his family's sins by building and investing in businesses meant to clean the envrionment of Duro and to practice sustainable development in doing so.
By publicly stating a personal responsibility and desire to do something about it, Nix has alienated many of his family's long-time allies who do not wish to be faced with or accept their own role in the pollution of Duro. Further, among Duros environmental groups, Nix is seen only as a spoiled and clueless rich kid not really serious about doing anything and only trying to save his family name. As such, Nix has found himself to be unwelcome in Duros society and has retreated to the Outer Rim to pursue his goals and redeem his name.
Description
Nix is somewhat tall ( 2.0 meters ) and lanky. His build speaks of an agile athleticism. His manner speaks of unbridled confidence. Like most Duros, his skin is blue-green, though it tends more toward a blue shade and his eyes are large and red, tinting a bit toward the crimson end.
His outfit is of the heavy, durable type worn by spacers. His pants are gray and loose fitting, with a black belt around his waist. His pant legs tuck into a pair of canvas and leather black worker / combat boots. Above the waist, he wears a durable white thermal shirt and a black spacer's jacket. His light blaster pistol is kept in a concealment holster under his jacket, against the small of his back.
