CH. I – Painting a Portrait
Rubik is a cubic man.  Not implying he’s cube-shaped, but in that he’s made entirely up of cubes, millions upon millions of red cubes that come together to form a humanoid shape.  Because they can alter in size, the cubes often appear shimmering and fluctuating with each movement.  They are generally kept small and form the tiny details of his body, from fingers and toes, to muscle structure, to the very details of his face; the straight thin nose, broad jaw and full lips.  The red cubes make the general shape of his eyes with a ruby red light peering out through the cracks between them, giving the appearance that he has lights behind them.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +
Rubik’s ability to reassemble his cubes leaves little room for the possibility of any scarring or traits as a result of either accidents or battle.

+ PREFERRED CLOTHING +
Rubik’s would love wander in public without any clothes on.  He finds them hindering and unnecessary.  However, because society dictates that one should generally remain fully clothed while in public, and he is obliged to maintain some sense of normalcy, he wears any clothes that become available to him at the moment.  He normally finds a simple tunic and trousers to be enough to satisfy and will probably never wear any footwear.


CH II – Mental Make-up
As a being of intelligence, Rubik is a thinking man, and is as inventive as he is friendly.  Despite his intelligence, however, his lack of any real social skills often means he’s bluntly honest and frequently says the wrong thing at the wrong time.  This makes him seem unsophisticated and tactless, but it is not because it his intention to be so, he’s just not so very intuitive when it comes to emotions in others.  However, he’s not insensitive to others as he does his best to understand the people he associates with.  He’s calm and courteous; but can opinionated if he’s not careful.

Because he’s curious and inventive, Rubik has an active creative energy enjoying painting and poetry in his spare time.  The latter is something he’s very shy about and will never openly share unless amongst close friends, yet even then you’d have a better time trying to pry open an oyster shell with your bare hands, than getting him to read what he’s written.

What Rubik strives to achieve more often is a greater understanding of human kind and the worlds he visits.  He travels neither to help nor harm, but to observe.  He is not always prepared to jump into the fray for another, especially in the heat of conflict.  If personally threatened, he will defend himself.  Though often people take advantage of his kindness and generosity, Rubik tries to believe in the best of everyone, and can only pity those who sink low enough to terrorize and hurt others.

+ FAITH +
Religion is a subject Rubik cannot bring himself to understand.  There’s mixed feelings about the subject as he finds placing believe in mysterious forces silly, but he’s curious about it at the same time, trying to comprehend the need for it in the first place.  Where he comes from, the primary guiding forces of the universe are reason and logic, keeping chaos in balance and brought about not by divine beings but by living creations.  But Rubik privately admits a wish to see a god or miraculous act in person, and cannot help but think that there are forces of the universe still yet to be comprehended.

+ HABITS +
Rubik is an avid reader and loves nothing more than burying his face in large, unwieldy tomes and frail, dusty scrolls.  He must be careful not to let his imagination run away with him, though.  Because of his penchant for creativity, Rubik enjoys creating massive pieces of architecture and sculptures based on the things that he reads and learns.


CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
Silva, Constructor and creator

* He has not made too many lasting friends, though always welcomes companionship of any kind. 

CH IV – Abilities / Skills

+ CUBIC SHIFTING +
He is capable of changing the shape of his body into various objects and shapes, big or small, morphing his cubes into anything he desires.  He may increase or decrease each cube’s size and weight at will, and may also increase or decrease their density, affecting one part of his body or the entirety of it.  Essentially making his body harder than steel or as thin as air, stopping objects in their tracks or allowing them to pass through him.

+ REASSEMBLE +
Should damage be inflicted upon him, Rubik’s body will break away as a result of the hit, then immediately reassemble back to their original shape as if through some form of telepathy.  Should a cube break away from his form and be kept trapped so that it cannot reassemble, the cube will always find a way back to him.  As they are a part of his person, and may be used to create different objects, Rubik may also use his cubes to build temporary structures like bridges, ladders, etc.  And may disassemble and reassemble them at any time.

+ PSYCHOKINESIS +
Rubik may travel to other realms and dimensions by creating temporary gateways with his cubes, opening the passage to other worlds.  These gateways dissipate as soon as he passes through them, the cubes disappearing inside the portal as they close it.

+ EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL BEING +
It is unknown the exact nature of Rubik’s being and form.  It may be assumed that he is either an advanced android of some kind or an alien life form.  Categorizing him is neither an easy task nor simple to do.  Whatever, he is, however, he is an extra-dimensional formation, capable of cognitive speech and thought.  He was made to survive environmental conditions that would be unsuitable for mortal beings to live in.  He is also highly resistant to elemental damages.


CH V – Gear / Equipment
Rubik is not equipped with any weapons or gear to travel with.  His cubes are equipment enough.


CH VI – Reflections of the Past
It isn’t easy to locate Rubik’s place of origin, but if asked, he will state quite simply: “Oron.”  And if asked where it is, he might reply with: “Oh somewhere yonder.”  Simplicity is best, he believes, and as strange a being as he is, explaining where he comes from would be even more difficult.

He was created to aid broken worlds that suffered through war and decimation with populations too few to begin rebuilding anew.  He was tasked to learn about them, study their civilizations and report their progress back to Oron.  He is one of many, tasked to do like all the others.  Through workings unknown, his creator was banished, exiled for treason for reasons undisclosed to him.  Rubik, as he’d been so named, could not comprehend this, nor understand why there was a sudden emptiness in his existence.  Each day passed by like a dream, though he did not understand the nature of dreams.

Rubik fraternized with the other Constructs, learning from their experiences, the lives of other worlds and civilizations.  As he learned, he felt more and more distant from them, as there was something inside him that separated him from the rest.  He began to long for the presence of his Constructor, to ask them why he’d been made different, and what that difference meant to his place.  But in all his travels, he could not find them.  So he searches still, to as many worlds as he can, as there is still yet hope.  Soon he found, the harder he searched, the less he maintained the task he was designed to accomplish, deviating from it and until eventually all that could possess him was finding his creator.
