APPEARANCE:
- In his new form, Xanadu placed this image on his rear. He can't remember why, but he's sure there was a good reason for it.
- Hides a failure in design of new body, which happens to rainbow colored spots of glitter all around his body, by materializing over the top clothing.
BACKGROUND:
Everlasting planet. Tired existence. Cosmic shenanigans. New life.
So goes the origin of the galaxy's first living planet, a being that'd seem so complicated in concept but so simple in his goals. Originally one of the first planets ever created and set to last for eternity, he has existed through most of history itself. However it's only in the last billion years that he has steadily grown a type of consciousness and self-aware nature, realizing who and what he was, and his purpose.
It was a much easier revelation once developing conscious to realize he wasn't the biggest fan of being a planet. He had to stay in one rutty place between two boring dustballs that took up far too much space, who happened to be dull conversation partners thanks to them not having being as advanced in evolution and not being "alive" like he was, never able to move besides the same old orbiting pattern that had long lost it's entertainment value to him. On top of that he was expected to house the thousands of species living and sustaining off his being and the nature he provided, and continued to do so despite his attempts to get them to knock it off with their natural disasters.
One of his greatest discoveries was the energy known as "ki". As a whole planet he was brimming was almost an untapped amount of energy, along with being able to siphon it off of the creatures living on him. Experimenting with it in multiple forms for over a million years, be it adjusting his own shape or the forms of life on him, he eventually came to a breakthrough after creating his first star. In his first star, he saw everything he wanted. The possibility of exploration, a fresh anew, bright beginnings, all of it. He had spent a lifetime starring at the stars around him hoping he could explore them one day, and hear he had created one himself.
His next plan wasn't an easy one. In doing it he was risking his own existence at the possible gain of nothing. But in his eyes, it was better then going around and around and letting others live while he simply was the thing they slept and shat on. In a process that took almost a century he was able to gather enough energy and shape it, along with attempting to force his consciousness in the new form. In a burst of "ki" that sent ripples through his planetary form and ultimately sending it bursting into a grand firework of an explosion, he was able to push this form out in the galaxy itself, and give birth to a new him.
For the last two decades or so, he had spent his new found life hopping planet to planet and exploring the galaxy and coming to a realization; he was alive. He was finally alive. And sure, it was a bloody miserable existence and didn't have much worth, but it did beat that whole "planetary life" thing he had been doing. He was limited in his powers thanks to giving most of it up to "live" in his new body, but he didn't mind that much. Giving himself the name Xanadu thanks to his appreciation of the way it rolled off his freshly crafted tongue, he set off to find the wonder of "life itself". But after finding music and creating his own genre that was sounded like disco violently beat up hip hop in some racket of noise, discovering the wonders of taste by creating his own sandwich shop, and finding the wonders of glitter, he had become bored rather quickly.
Eventually he figured out the best thing to do with his time was to get back at the living type of creatures that had made his time as planet such a pain. Xanadu has spent most of his new life playing dreadful pranks on any and all life he has come across, mixed with finding new ways to insult them. He also is quite fascinated with the concept of death, as before he hadn't much worry for it, but in his new body it was a possibility. However he was not quite ready for that part of his journey, so instead he has tested many of the possibly ways to gruesomely die on the other types of living beings he's come across. As he brings more pain to others, he feels a bit more accomplished with himself. It is one of the few things that can bring him joy, filling the hole of emotion he couldn't quite explain. Finally, it seemed everything was coming together and as if his sacrifice of eternal life had paid off.
Simply put, Xanadu was sure he had found his life's calling; ruining the lives as many of the living as possible.
