Estrix

Estrix, The Outspoken is an Alastran who is one of the four starting playable characters in the Star Sanctum tabletop game.

Estrix is a Starbinder, one of the sects within the priest class of the Alastran race. Starbinders are the most proficient with using the star-based magic system the Alastrans have developed over the course of their history.

Appearance
Estrix is a tall Alastran male, with pale blue skin, a staff weapon (I'm gonna flesh this out more) and a circular headpiece which helps him chart nearby stars and his relative position to them, an important requirement of Alastran star magic.

History
Estrix is a former member of The Conclave, the ruling body of Alastran civilization. His talent as a Starbinder earned him a place on the council, where he became known as 'The Outspoken' for his often zealous and outlandish views compared to the rest of the more conservative views of the broader Conclave. Though his views were often treated with suspicion, his obvious talent and power with star magic ensured that most respected him and gave him the benefit of the doubt, until the day he made a grave error.

During one of his stargazing sessions, in which he received inspiration for new magical ideas and information, Estrix has a vision of an imminent attack on Opir, the Alastran homeworld by an unidentified enemy with an extraordinary number of unknown ships. As an emergency measure, The Conclave decided to recall the entirety of the Alastran military force, including the Starfinders, the largest class of war vessels, to defend Opir. When this occurred, a number of strategic colonies, outposts, and other controlled locations became vulnerable. They were attacked and stolen from the Alastran civilization by a number of other races in opportunistic attacks, weakening their position in the galaxy irrevocably.

Estrix's vision had been wrong, and he paid the price by being exiled from The Conclave and permitted to wander the galaxy but never return home to Opir. Estrix refused to believe that his vision was wrong, but that perhaps he misinterpreted the time frame of the attack. He decided to wander the galaxy in search of information and clues as to whether this mysterious enemy really exists, when they plan to attack Opir, and why.
