X'qualion, the Arithani Senator

X'qualion belongs to the Arithani species - a bulky, reptilian anthropomorphic aliens with green scales on their limbs, and yellow scales across their torsos. They are digitigrade, have thick, long tails, forked tongues and most importantly, two sets of eyes, each perceiving light of a different spectrum.

X'qualion is a well built, proud man a little past his prime, but not willing to show it just yet. He is calm, methodical, determined, hard to anger, yet ruthless when necessary, and above all, focused on his duties thanks to his analytical disposition. He wears neat, clean, purple robes adorned with gold that cover most of his silhouette - a typical look for an Arithani Senator that is spoiled by the many piercings he had accumulated over his adventurous life - in his nostril, in his tongue, even in his eyebrow. Golden rings and studs complimented by an excessive amount of jeweled rings on his fingers.

X'qualion is a military veteran who continued his career into politics until reaching the rank of Senator - the highest official in the Arithani Empire. Yet the life consisting of nothing but deskwork and parlimentary proceedings proved... tiresome for him. He was used to a more active lifestyle, and the relative peace and predictibility of his new life quickly developed an ever-growing itch at the very heart of his being.

In the end, he achieved a compromise - he became a political envoy leading fleets of ships on diplomatic missions, first contacts with new alien species, shows of force... All in the Senate's nme of course. During that time, he developed mutual feelings with one of the Lieutenants serving aboard his flagship - J'arill a younger man of fiery disposition, great ambition, and ideas that made even X'qualion shiver with anticipation. Some would question the propriety of such a union - most would be wise enough to not interfere in a Senator's affairs when not necessary.

His latest mission took him towards an isolated, unassuming star in the Orion's arm of the galaxy. There, he encountered a species of bipedal mammals - not exactly the rarest sight in the universe, yet there was one peculiarity about them - their size.

The reasons were unknown - an ancient weapon blast site, a long lost experimentation site, unknown eldritch powers... a twist of fate maybe. Whatever it was, the result was all the same - the entire Solar System was in muniature. The star the size of a city, and the planets no bigger than a few houses - everything, down to the most miniute details was shrank a exactly to one milionth of its usual size. The humans too.

X'qualion's ship couldn't land - it couldn't even approach Earth without flinging the miniscule planet from its orbit. The first contact had to be made by a single person approaching in nothing but a void-suit.... and even that caused cataclysms on Earth.

Nevertheless, X'qualion patiently explained to the population of Earth that they were now under the protection of the Arithani Empire - and effectively, X'qualion's property. With no way, nor will to resist, humans had to comply... One thing let to another and soon, X'qualion's chambers were littered with miniscule habitats for entire cities filled with humans...
