Brief Summary
A rather unusual Rikti, Mentalist Urii'Gelr was trapped in the Praetorian dimension over nine years ago. Originally a rank-and-file soldier bound for Primal Earth during the first Rikti War, Urii'Gelr was whisked away to Praetorian Earth when a strange malfunction occured with his transdimensional portal. Stranded in a strange dimension, and severed from the mental network, Urii'Gelr did what he could to survive, including aiding the people of Praetoria in the guise of a super-powered Mentalist. Over the nine years that he was stranded, Urii'Gelr vastly expanded his own mental powers, and gained some understanding of humanity.
Now, nine years later, Urii'Gelr has finally arrived at his intended destination. Upon reestablishing a link with the Rikti mental network, however, Urii'Gelr learned the tragic truth of the war, and quickly joined the Traditionalists, choosing to aid Earth's heroes in driving back those he once considered comrades.
Appearance
Sholzkzth is rather typical in his appearance as a Rikti, standing a good 2.28 meters tall and possessing a slender, yet well-toned and muscled build with leathery, greyish-tan skin. His head sits atop of a rather long neck. The front of his face is gaunt and slender, possessing two, slit-like nostrils and a horizontal, slit-like mouth slightly below them, barely visible to the human eye. His crimson eyes are narrow, oval-shaped and bent down at an angle, giving them a somewhat "angry" look. Extending back from his head is a ridged, fan-shaped crest. His arms are long, particularly bulky near the forearms, and end in large, three-fingered hands. His torso is deceptively thin and weak-looking, especially around his waist and belly, and has an almost "hunched" look to it. His spine terminates in a pointed, stub-like tail, reminiscent of the vestigial tail bone found on the human spine. He has particularly wide and bony-looking hips and long legs. His feet are stump-like, with a single large hoof-like toe, with two smaller "toes" on either side of his foot.
In his human form, Sholzkzth, or more appropriately "Gregory", is a physically fit, six-foot tall Caucasian male with green eyes and short, black hair in addition to a mustache.
Personality
An honorable and kind being, Sholzkzth possesses strong moral fiber and a warrior's sense of duty and honor, things most Rikti can barely understand, let-alone display. This is believed to originate from the fact that Sholzkzth was separated from the Rikti Mental Network for over nine years, giving the Rikti ample opportunity to explore and expand upon such feelings. Through his time in Praetoria, he has also gained a significant (if not still slightly flawed) understanding of humanity. He is friendly towards most humans, especially if they are friendly to him in turn. Regarding xenophobes, he has a tendency to show them little respect, or will simply ignore them completely, believing such "primitively ignorant and close-minded beings" to not be worth his time. Sholzkzth prefers to approach most situations diplomatically, avoiding conflict whenever possible, especially with other heroes. Despite this, he will not hesitate to defend himself using the full, potentially lethal strength of his psionic powers and other abilities when backed into a corner.
Following his separation and reintegration into the Rikti Mental Network upon his arrival on Primal Earth, Sholzkzth remains somewhat distant from other Rikti, rarely speaking to the mental network or sharing information except when absolutely necessary. Because of this, even amongst some of the Traditionalists, he is considered something of a "maverick".
Sholzkzth, in true heroic fashion, usually never kills any of the villains he subdues, only doing so when he feels they present an overly dangerous threat, have done something that has taken a lot of innocent lives, or if they are about to slay an unarmed, innocent civilian.
History
Early Life & the 33 Steps of Education
Sholzkzth Urii'Gelr was born on Rikti Earth as any other Rikti was born: He was born to a pair of loving parents, and appeared in his early years as a regular human child did. As expected, he soon began to undergo the typical Rikti transformation processes throughout puberty, all the while undertaking the 33 Steps of Education, which was necessary for him to join one of the 97 Lineages on his homeworld, as well as to be considered an adult. As he began to take on a more Rikti-like appearance, Sholzkzth received steady mental downloads of knowledge over the decades as he grew and learned.
As like most Rikti youth, around the age of roughly 20 years, Sholzkzth took up a menial profession as he grew and learned. In his case, the young Rikti entered the field of computer maintenance, something he enjoyed and proved to be quite adept with. In the twenty-five or so years Sholzkzth worked as a maintenance worker, Sholzkzth gained a great deal of experience with mechanics, enough so to the point where he began to tinker with his own devices. At this rate, Sholzkzth's parents suspected that their son might be taken into the Lineage of Engineering, though Sholzkzth had other aspirations.
Despite his mechanical skills, Sholzkzth personally desired to become a part of the Lineage of Justice, the Lineage responsible for maintaining order and detaining criminals. During the 33 Steps, Sholzkzth began to delve deeper into the knowledge needed to serve in the Lineage effectively. Upon reaching the 33rd Step of Education, Sholzkzth was all but ready to join the Lineage of Justice. Unfortunately, it was around this time that a terrible tragedy befell the Rikti people, one that drastically changed the young Rikti's course in life.

Rikti Biology
As a Rikti, Sholzkzth's radically-altered physiology renders him considerably superior, both mentally and physically, to an average human being of Primal Earth. He is stronger, faster, more resilient and possesses a greater capacity for intelligence as well as inherent telepathic senses, enhanced considerably by his training as a Mentalist. Despite possessing nowhere near as much strength as some super-powered beings, Sholzkzth is still capable of lifting a considerable amount of weight, an estimated 90kg (200 lbs) with his natural strength alone, which can be further augmented by his powered combat armor.
Equipment
Modified Mk. II Mentalist Battle Armor
Sholzkzth's armor is similar to that worn by other Rikti Mentalists, but possesses a dull gold color and red trim, an outdated coloring pattern no longer worn by any soldiers, both Restructurist, Traditionalist and Homeworld Soldier alike. He uses this distinguished coloring pattern to stand out, feeling that the colors should be enough to ward off anyone mistaking him for a run-of-the-mill Rikti soldier.
Statistically, the armor has been upgraded quite noticeably, featuring a light layering of Impervium over the entirety of it, increasing the already considerably durability of the Rikti alloy out of which the armor is built. The back and foot modules of the armor mount jump-jets that allow Sholzkzth greater control while flying, and can serve to boost his jumps. The armor's advanced servomechanisms serve to augment Sholzkzth's physical strength and mobility, allowing him to move faster and lift more weight (close to 600 lbs with each arm) while wearing the armor.
Mk. III Translator
Urii'Gelr is one of several Traditionalist Rikti in possession of Mk. III Translation technology. This recently developed translation technology allows for vastly improved Rikti-to-English language conversion, resulting in clearer, more comprehensible speech in lieu of the more commonly known syntax that most Rikti are known to speak in. As the technology is still relatively recent and not yet mass-produced, Mk. III Translators are distributed only to Traditionalist negotiators, and occasionally soldiers, such as Sholzkzth, and dignitaries who are expected to come in contact with humanity more often.
