Game: ALIEN RPG – Solo Game 1: Havoc Dawn
Name: Callan Sidney Haight
Character Description: Callan Sidney Haight is a roughneck through and through – a rugged, brawling man with calloused hands and a face smudged by the raw materials of the frontier. Yet, beneath his gruff exterior is a zealous faith that burns with a blinding intensity. Callan’s path is a paradox of physical labor and spiritual pursuits, making him a complex character in this universe.
In his early forties, Callan has faced life’s harsh realities and thrown punches back with equal force. His day starts before the break of dawn, tirelessly working until twilight. He’s a key component of the frontier’s infrastructure, and his dedication and hard work set the rhythm of life on the edge of civilization. But when work is done, he parties hard, unapologetically indulging in the pleasures of life.
But there’s more to Callan than just a typical roughneck. He is a devout Clergyman and a fanatical member of a cult that views the existence of extraterrestrial life as a harbinger of impending doom. His faith is deeply rooted in the controversial “Space Beast” book, which he interprets as a prophetic text. His perspective on the rumors of alien life and bio-weapons is driven by fervent belief rather than scientific understanding or corporate curiosity.
Despite his brash exterior, Callan’s empathy and wit shine through when he’s tested. His strength, both physical and spiritual, is a defining attribute. His skills in Stamina, Heavy Machinery, Medical Aid, and Manipulation reflect his adaptability and resilience.
Callan’s special talent, True Grit, allows him to push his limits twice, proving his ability to withstand the stresses of frontier life. His sunken eyes, long hair, and pale skin provide a stark contrast to his vibrant personality, and his customary robe gives him a distinctive presence.
An extravagant Crucifix adorning his neck is Callan’s Signature Item, symbolizing his unwavering faith. His personal agenda is clear: spread his faith and convert as many people as possible. To aid in his religious journey, he carries a Seegson C-Series magnetic tape recorder for documenting his thoughts, interpretations of “Space Beast”, and ideas for sermons.
Despite his seemingly contradictory lifestyles, Callan’s presence is undoubtedly felt. His stashed hard liquor and $100 in cash reveal a man unafraid to enjoy the materialistic pleasures of life, while constantly pursuing a spiritual path. He is a testament to the multi-dimensional characters inhabiting this universe, enriching its narrative with his intriguing mix of faith and raw determination.
