Bander, a 17-year-old Earth-born human, was orphaned as an infant when his parents placed him in an escape pod during a terrorist attack that obliterated their spacecraft. Rescued by a pacifist race of humanoid shape-shifters on a distant planet, he grew up in their violence-free society, nourished solely by vegetables and regenerative animal tails. This tranquility shattered when space pirates invaded his adoptive home, propelling him toward Earth.

There, he unearthed his origins and confronted tensions between his upbringing’s nonviolent principles and the ruthless aggression of his adversaries. Alongside recurring figures like Black Jack—reimagined as a pirate—he navigated trials that tested his loyalties without diverting his path.

Bander’s evolution traces his shift from sheltered idealism to grappling with interstellar strife and self-revelation. His odyssey intertwines identity, cultural dissonance, and the friction between pacifism and survival, set against a sci-fi backdrop laced with allegorical reflections on societal conflict.
