Description:  Denarban is a amalgamation of all the body forms he sees as Ane.  A Human head, digitigrade legs, fur, and Aneilog skin and horns.  He has the Aneilog trachea and larynx and sounds like no one else.  He looks sort of like a Satyr with straight hair and Ane colors.

Personality:  Open and questioning.  He urges others to do likewise.  Constantly challenging people to examine their lives and why they are living them.  "An unchallenged life is walking death".  This doesn't make everyone happy.
Ambitions and Goals:  To Know, knowing that I will never Know.
Physical/mental Problems:  Infertile.  Denarban has not invested in the Builder Tech bios now trickling down the market.  His particular design would take a while to get to work.  He is looking into a Aneform like that however.  His body is 20% weaker than an equivalent "living" body would be.

Special Abilities:  RI computer system, thinks faster than light and has a database for a brain.
Weaknesses/Disadvantages:  Denarban suffers from the usual need to be needed., and the looks too good syndrome.  He lives his artificial existence out in the open and has been the target of several attacks.
History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly:  Denarban has always been interested in the very nature of being.  Unlike some of his class he didn't go for running big things, he was more interested in the question of what he was exactly, or for that matter what are any of us?
    To answer those questions he studied in a dozen universities delved into the All and contemplated.  At the age of 50 he decided that the answer isn't an answer.  There is an answer for each and every being that lives or tries to.  He decide to become a musician, to openly flaunt his artificial lifehood.  To ask everyone to live an awakened life.
    Within five years there had been an attempt on his life during a concert.  Pointless to shoot the bio.  Vulcan asked him not to come back, they came within an eyebrow of a riot.  Shi'kar was disturbed for weeks after he left.  Unsettling was the general attitude.  Kai Win tried to get him and his music banned.  He outright challenged the religious authority, any  religious authority.
    He opened for Fuzzy for five years and they were sorry to see him go.  He handed off the audience HOT. 
    He is starting to make a penetration into the Federation wide pop scene.  His lyrics are chewy and don't let you off the hook.  The music is catchy and stays in your head.
    Denarban backs himself up, a one man band like no other, music, vocals, light show, one brain behind all of it.  Only the stage dancers are not him.  The concerts are a telepathic catharsis  He opens himself to the audience and those that accept are in for a hell of a ride.  People have come out of the hall happy, sad, invigorated and angry.  They do not leave as they entered.  That isn't what Denarban is about.  Some have turned themselves into dynamos, at leas one election was affected when the concert goers left in a heightened mental awareness and realized the incumbent was feeding them a pack of lies.


Jay stuck a song under my nose, he does that once in a while.  This one bit me.
