Seth

Seth Im'Kin'ki is the captain of the Vortox Pummelers and a founding character of Final Frontier. He is a sex-crazed elf with a knack for captainteering and piloting. Seth is charismatic and selfish, and tends to screw over the crew for fun or his own personal gain. He is close with Emmett and took him in from a young age, blossoming a father-son relationship between the two.

Biography
In his youth, Seth served in the Elven Navy and rose through the ranks all the way to captain. After an alleged extramarital affair with another captain's wife, he was transferred to God Guard duty. It was after his reassignment that Seth met Ameno, the Goddess of Death, and Era, the Goddess of Love. During his duty, Seth grew close to and married Ameno. However, Seth yet again had an affair, this time with Era. This caused outrage among the elven people, and the representatives convinced the Galactic Union to blacklist Seth from piloting. Ameno and Era were magnanimous, and made a deal to curse Seth with immortality, where he would resurrect after death if he engaged in consensual intercourse within 2 weeks of his death. On the other hand, the curse caused Seth to delve deeper into insanity after every death.

After Seth's sentencing, he traveled off-planet for good, now hated by his entire population for disrupting their gods. Seth used his charisma to quickly gain a crew and started taking odd jobs. He spent a long time traveling the galaxy as a nomad, visiting every corner of the cosmos and learning more about the place. He became very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the Milky Way, what to look for in GU space and found contacts in and out of the faction.

Eventually, Seth met a freshly-off-world vespoid named Grass Stalker, who Seth coerced into joining his crew and becoming his pilot. Seth found Grass Stalker’s name to be primitive and “stupid”, and renamed him “Emmett”. The two later met Matthias, an avian prophet, who also joins Seth. They traveled together for a long while, touring the galaxy and making plenty of enemies along the way. After a deadly final encounter with the Grasshoppers, their escapades came to an end as Seth and Matthias hopped into a cryogenic freezing pod to save themselves.

After an unknown amount of time, Seth and Matthias landed on a desert planet, becoming unfrozen, and the two split up. With Emmett long dead, remembered by his people as a hero, Seth traveled for a bit before starting a new crew, this time with a purpose — bounty hunting. Seth founded the Pelvis Crushers, and recruited Valdorris, Evensga, and HAG-2X. Seth is hinted to have had an affair with Squellis Tawfeek, a Squoatling mother on Vortox-56, while babysitting for her son, Squemfet. He continued to babysit for Squemfet until the Llamanian attack on Vortox-56, where he managed to rescue Squemfet from the rubble and escaped offplanet briefly before the planet’s destruction.

After Vortox’s destruction, Seth took in Squemfet and treated him like one of his own. He once again bestowed upon Squemfet a new name: “Emmett”. (It seems Seth developed some form of amnesia after his freezing, as he has no recollection of the vespoid Emmett, but still has hallucinations about him.) The newly-named Emmett was taught by Seth how to pilot, and it came easily as Emmett was already a pilot-in-training. Seth tended closer to Emmett than the rest of his crew, which raised tensions and made the other crew members hostile towards the squoatling. When the Siege of Moldarr disaster struck, and Seth lost the rest of his crew besides Emmett, he renamed the group in honor of Emmett’s fallen home. He was now captain of the Vortox Pummelers, keeping the memory alive forever.

Seth would continue to act as captain, collecting bounties and gaining a larger crew, even briefly re-recruiting Matthias. At the same time, his immortality curse grew worse and worse with each fatal encounter. Seth grew less and less rational over time, but Emmett helped keep him in check and in his right mind. It seemed as long as the kid was around, Seth would stay relatively sane.

Appearance
Seth stands at a towering 7 feet 6 inches. He has short blonde hair, shaved on the sides, with a slick mohawk on top. Seth has long, pointed elf ears and piercing blue eyes. He wears a red shirt featuring a logo from an Elven Space opera TV show along with his usual blue jeans. Seth will occasionally don his Elven God Guard uniform when entering into battle, or just when he wants to impress some ladies. He's fairly well-built physically, and is almost always found attractive by women.

Personality
Seth is charismatic and destructive. He has an incredible fixation on sex, and most of his endeavors center around it, even if endangering others. Seth is often comedic and enjoys annoying Emmett, usually ending in some sort of destruction. He has no problem killing others and seemingly no regard for the lives of others in general. Despite his growing insanity, Seth can be strategic and intelligent when he needs to be, commanding his crew with authority and purpose.

His immortality curse led Seth to become less rational over the years, and Sanya noted that he makes less sense every day. However, even when clouded, Seth is still sharp and never went fully off the deep end. After the formation of the Vortox Pummelers, Emmett became the center of his world, and all of his endeavors other than personal pleasure are usually about the kid. He is still understanding towards his crew, and treats them with at least a minimal amount of respect; however, in Seth’s eyes, their lives are of least priority. Despite this, his selfish escapades are never done out of ill-will towards the crew, and he ensures Emmett is never harmed.

Uncharacteristically, Seth acts lovingly towards his wife, Ameno, and stays loyal throughout the course of his life. Seth is shown to be flirtatious with her and they are very friendly, even when on “business” after his numerous deaths. He appears to no longer be involved with Era, and it is unknown what their relationship is currently.
