HALE-BOPP

Raised alone by his father Sagittarius, Hale-Bopp was never very well behaved. While his species didn't care about how likeable eachother were, they did care about cooperation to keep the planets they lived on functioning. Hale was good at neither behaving, nor cooperating. Despite his father's best attempts, Hale's behavior only got worse overtime. Disrupting other's jobs, graffiti, anything you could imagine a rowdy teen doing, pumped up to 11. He was often given a lot of leeway, given the importance of his father on the planet he grew up on, but eventually even Sagittarius grew sick of it. After causing a particularly bad accident to another important figure's home during his ""Teenage"" years (teen for his species), Hale was finally shunned from his home planet, and messages were sent out to the other colonies to warn them of his behavior. If Hale-Bopp had any regrets about what he did, or losing his father, he certainly didn't show it. Instead he was unleashed onto other planets now, he was now the problem of every other species in the galaxy.

While he couldn't get away with nearly as much as he used to do, he was still terrible. Making himself notorious for single-handedly making a mess of entire towns, too fast to arrest, too slippery to keep captured, and too durable to be killed by most weapons, it was very hard to stop him if he decided to show his face. Eventually the extreme chaos got boring, he still liked to ruin and break things, but he finally decided that he should save that for "special moments" instead. For the first time in a long time, he began to actually interact with people, rather than brief sentences in passing, he was now willing to engage in actual conversation. It didn't make him any less obnoxious though.

While he was finally talking to people, he was still frequently rude, making crude jokes and slinging insults frequently. Despite this, he still managed to find people who would tolerate his presence, and the rare few that would find him actually funny. As he started making "friends", he would usually stick around on a planet until the people who tolerating him either passed away, or he would simply get bored and leave. At one point thanks to simply meeting the right person, Hale began to take assassination jobs for money, he didn't really need the money, but he liked having it anyway, and the jobs were usually easy for someone like him.

His first visit to earth was one of the most impactful moments for him. He'd passed by the planet many times, but never bothered to stop by. Until one day he heard rumors that there was supposedly a cult on the planet who believed that 'he' (rather, the actual coment he was named for) was a sign for things to come. He made his way there immediately, only to discover after asking around that the cult was no more. Frustrated, it became a new fixation for him, wanting to get people to listen to any absurd thing he wanted them to. The rest of his time spent on earth involved the discovery of the internet for him, as none of his former 'friends' had internet on their planets yet, or simply were not internet people and never brought it up to him. He was instantly enamored by the concept, especially social medias, and got into it instantly. He tried stealing a phone first, only to be roadblocked by needing to pay for it to actually utilize most of it's functions. He can admit he thinks how capitalists make profit is genius, but it certainly made him annoyed this time. It still worked a bit though, as long as he could find wifi to manually connect to. He later simply created his own phone though, one better suited for his needs around the galaxy. While he overall likes earth, his experiences in "Milwaukee" (not really the normal Milwaukee, but rather some warped fucked up anomaly version of it that he was sucked into), too long and too strange to really even summarize, left him wary of the planet for a bit, but he finds humans too funny in comparison to other species to stay away for very long.

Eventually, at one point, his 'cult' plans succeeded. He'd had smaller "successes" before, but they often quickly dissipated. But this time he had it. Despite the group not having an official name, he had managed to find a village of deeply unhappy people that were desperate for some form of order, who were willing to look past Hale's..."flaws" in exchange for the genuine improvements he did make to the place. While the town itself improved, the social community did not, infighting becoming more frequent whenever Hale was unhappy with someone. At his side often was Lulin, who for whatever reason was complete infatuated and idolized him, which Hale would frequently take advantage of. Eventually though, Hale grew tired of the group, as he often did with his 'friends' and other planets, and he left without a word. Leaving Lulin behind with no reason as to why.

Just like he always has, Hale usually wanders around the galaxy aimlessly. Taking assassination jobs and being the galaxy's worst 'influencer'. He could easily use his knowledge for good, or even simply be an inventor, but he doesn't want to. He only uses his knowledge for himself. One day he's given a job to kill "Mary-Anne Cassia", another hitman who unsurprisingly had made some enemies. After tracking her down, the two fought for a good while, but when she managed to overwhelm him, they struck a deal, Mary offering a chunk of the money from her job, more than Hale wouldve gotten for his, if Hale would forget he ever took his job in the first place and let her live. Hale agreed, and tags along to where Mary has to go to get her payment. He decides to force himself into the group with Mary and Puss afterward though, refusing to leave, Puss is not happy, neither is Mary, but Mary allows Hale to stick around if he's willing to help her on future jobs. Hale makes no promises, but he usually does help.
