Farmanus the Unneeded
background continued...
As a youth who displayed extraordinary strength, stamina, and agility on the athletic fields, Farmanus was initially deemed to be a prime recruit for the force. However, failing spectacularly in the aptitude tests measuring math, science, and reasoning skills, he was given simple tasks such as guard duty and manual labour for the decade-plus he served in the Uber Sapiens Force. He has now been relegated to the role of ‘free Rodenbury scout’, an open-ended assignment which entails reconnoitering the areas surrounding the settlement and beyond on a ‘5-year mission’. He is not expected to survive. Indeed, he has been labeled ‘expendable’ as his lack of mental acuity means, although he is 33 years of age, he has not and will never be permitted to take a wife. In essence, despite his years of faithful service, his errand amounts to a ‘soft exile’ from the community.
Physically, Farmanus is an impressive figure. He stands 6 feet 5 inches tall, and his strapping frame carries 219 pounds of uber strain human muscle in addition to an intimidating array of melee weaponry. Beginning to show flecks of grey, his hair is blonde and short-cropped in the military style. His weathered face is gentle and obliging. His blue eyes convey little hint of intelligence, yet bear an unmistakable sadness.
