Lexx, as he prefers to be called is the alien in question who's playing the game. What is Alien Dice? He knows all too well. It's a serious game to him in which his life is in the balance. If he loses, he either becomes a slave to whomever beats him in battle or dies. He would prefer to die. So far, he's almost completed the game,... but no-one has completed it before and the forces against him are rising.

And why does he let the girl stay? He originally couldn't stand her, didn't even want to think of her as anything more than a human,... but things change, especially with a young woman who's so persistant in knowing him,.. and having the full attention of his dice.

Things change,.. and Lexx isn't sure this is good or bad.


Lexx is pronounced like the ex in explain and Shira is prounounced "Shy-ra"

Lexx is about 6'7", blue skin and hair, gold eyes. Having lost their previous two children to station officials, his mother came to and he was born on Litta, and became a Soul Brother to Riley. He inherited 'pure' Rishan first generation genes from his father. When he was age two, his father became second in command on the space station Risha 1 and they moved there, where his parents also planned to have another daughter. He had a pet Sallomandyr while living there.

While still young, his father died. He may have gone back to Litta for a while with his mother after his father's death before they returned to Risha 1.

He was at age 8 or 9 when his mother died. The guardians his parents left him to blew his inheritance on themselves and left him to fend for himself. He got picked up by station authorities as a 'station rat', and was sent to the Alien Dice Academy so he wouldn't be their problem.

He was one of the most talented students at the Academy, although his attitude was slightly different than most of the students - mostly because he came at an old enough age to have memories of a normal happy family before coming there. He had only a few friends, namely Coli, Acadiu, Traice, and Toine. Toine was his Sairah roommate, and died of a bad reaction to drugs administered to him to make him thinner. Watching him die by vomiting until his throat ruptured gave Lexx a lifelong intolerance to the sound of, and especially the sight of, someone throwing up.

When he was of age, being one of the more promising students, he got bonded to a 20 sided Master Dice, starting with an initial roll of 2. He was also injected with nanites in case he became suicidal.

When the full impact of what he was into hit him, he became suicidal, trying seven times to end his life, and gaining scars when they failed. Lexx was at a point that there was no physical way out that he wanted to accept because it's almost impossible to win against, but if you kill yourself, well, you WIN ultimately, at least from his perspective. They invest all that money in him, he dies... of course, that backfired with their safeties. The suicidal phase was over for him before he actually started the game. Once he selected his dice... he became committed to at least trying and at a point he is very attached to some of the dice and feels responsible for them. He did keep a bad habit of cutting himself when severely depressed though.

While Lexx TRIED to kill himself several times... after awhile it became too painful to be worth it. Lexx doesn't LIKE pain. He also wouldn't attack another person. Otherwise he probably would've killed Damian or Claudia by now He just doesn't have it in him to do anything like that. It just doesn't come across as logically 'worth' it. Lexx hates himself, not others and despises it when someone takes out others while taking out themselves. While he will linger on the morbid in that area, he isn't really interested in dying... and if he attacked someone and failed, he'd belong to them and they have ways of making new dice cooperate that wouldn't be very pleasant. It's the whole thing of.. you try to kill yourself, jump off a cliff,... but you don't die, you wind up a parapalygic and in worse shape in life than you began.

Sure... Lexx could throw himself out of an air lock, crash his ship or find a way to crush himself or decapitate himself,.. but maybe it's just not 'in' him to go to that extreme. Cutting his wrists was more of a 'release' and now it embarasses him and reminds him of how stupid he was. You'd think he would've stopped after the FIRST time he tried and failed. Sometimes people do things that are selectively stupid because they know it doesn't work,... but it gives you a sense of having tried at least.

When it came time to select his first basic dice, he decided to follow his heart instead of selecting the biggest and strongest. In this manner he selected two runt Sallomandyrs slated for pit bait which he named Zeta and Epsy, as well as a small kitten which became Stealth. His friends feared he was sabotaging himself, but his dice ended up very loyal to him as a result.

The modifiers he has are very basic ones. He only had three, two have six sides, one has 10. The ones he was given at the start of the game... he can't afford to buy any others and is purposely kept from getting enough to do so. ADC gives him enough money to supply the ship, and a little extra, but not enough for him to save for anything really good. The basics have an array of different modifications they can do, whereas, specifics are only one trait/type.

Once put into play, he became reaquainted with Riley again, whom he hadn't seen since leaving Litta. Riley became determined to help Lexx. He also had the misfortune of meeting Trasik, who has decided to obtain Lexx by any means possible, leading to the worst battles he's had to face. He's also had some very bad experiences with Premium Visitations, especially with one who knew how to shut off his nanites while he was demonstrating he couldn't get drunk with them.

Due to his lack of access to the files while the property of ADC, he has no knowledge of his siblings, much less that his sponsor Zaile is one of them. He also became friends with Claudia and Damian, and essentially adopted Maenae when he recovered her from a derelict ship.

He surprised everyone by having already won two of the three sets required to win his freedom, a freedom the ADC doesn't want to give him, but due to how popular a player he is they can't hide him. He decided to play his third set on Earth, where he became acquainted with Chelsea Reid in the pursuit of Stealth.

He flipflops a lot in his feelings of Chel. His mind tells him exactly what is there, that he loves her for some reason and needs her, and his mind also tells him that he should not do anything to strengthen or endanger that feeling or his relationship until the game is over, because it would be unfair to her and himself. And also, there is always the fact that they just met recently. He doesn't want lust confused for love, he actually wants love. (Of course, we already know that he wasn't initially attracted on a physical level.) He doesn't follow the whole, better to have loved and lost than never to have loved again. He's going for eternity. Now,.. his emotional mindset keeps him in complete turmoil on love or lust, is it real, is it not? Is love real at all? Past experiences tell him it is, but barely. Riley's probably the strongest relationship Lexx has with anyone that would be based on love between the two. Riley came looking for Lexx. He never forgot him.

At the finale of a battle with Sicali Riane, she flooded him with her memories upon her death, memories which surface in his dreams.


Lexx likes SILENCE. Of course, this is because his exposure to music has been very limited.

Per contract terms, he's not able to list his sponsors. For financial reasons, he just pilots the ship.

Lexx would be considered EXTREMELY Agnostic. He chooses not to believe in anything, and well, to him, final escape is final escape, but he's also quite afraid of it, otherwise he wouldn't have STOPPED trying. *There's also that whole thing that he doesn't exactly like being in pain. If you jump off a building, there's still a chance you'll live ... in a bodycast or paralyzed. There are so many different ways to think and different ways people think in regards to doing this. There are of course, people who think this is all there is, it sucks, good bye. Then there are others who think it's a one way trip to paradise, then there are those who think it's a release to the spiritworld, and still others, suicide's a rather selfish sin and you killed yourself, you can't repent, so you go straight to Hell. Lexx doesn't like discussing it anymore than where you go when you die. It makes him very uncomfortable. *Same thing with the whole suicide thing, why else would he be so touchy about his arms.

He spent most of his life on space stations and has had very little exposure to nonprocessed food - he thinks everything comes in nutri-powders/mixes/blocks. As a result, he finds 'natural' foods - those that come from plants and animals to be disgusting. Being told that something he ate was in fact 'natural' would make him very sick - first mentally, then physically.

Lexx is actually a very good conversationalist and is very social .. when he KNOWS someone. The problem is, he doesn't want to get to know anyone. He is also a lover of the finer things to the point that he is very materialistic. More so than your average human male in the realm of clothing and neatness. He is also honorable.

Lexx and his sister Kaimar's ages are completely messed up. Normally, a Rishan can live up to 140 years, but the ADC gave them all kinds of hormone treatment to force them to age, thus... he's actually 18. His youngest sister is really only 8 and has been in stasis for a very long time, you see... she was born months after Lexx's father died and since Lessa was unable to care for two children, she was adopted to another family... and supposed to be returned when she turned five. That didn't happen because of Lessa's death and then Lexx was on his own for a short time, but once he ended up in the ADC as a 'pure' strain, the ADC 'aquired' his sister and put her in 'storage'. Lexx of course doesn't remember her because he was very young.

He gains wings at Level 7, regardless of which ability is tied to the level at the time. However, unless he has the fly ability, he can only glide with them. At level 8 his wings get refined, shortening and compacting in some areas, lengthening in others, so they would be a little bit shorter than they were, but lighter and less bulky. They can be more easily folded and less in his way. They disappear as he levels up.

Also at level 8 his ears lengthen markedly, as well as his hair becomes long and violet with a gold streak in the front.

The dice code affects his hormonal levels more than his thoughts. The hormones of course, affect his moods and they've massively screwed up his thought processes at some points. The nanites kinda throw things off as well while they're repairing injuries. It's not really damaging to Lexx, it just makes him swing, sometimes at the very slightest stimulus from one mood to another. Kinda like being bipolar. He can go from being so depressed that he wants to kill himself to laughing and being playful without any in between. The real Lexx, beneath the mood swings, definately wants to live and survive. As Riley mentioned, Lexx's nature is more friendly, happy and nice than he acts. It only comes through with a prolonged contact though. Lexx is initially hostile to ANYONE who gets near him that he doesn't know.

Lexx cannot technically breathe underwater without a modifier or unless he's in the right level. (The nanites WOULD keep him alive, btw, if he tried to drown himself.) The nanites have the ability to absorb oxygen from the air outside the body and then transfer it into the bloodstream. They'd be able to transfer enough to keep him alive and allow for minimal movement, but not enough to really do something, like pursue dice.

He has ways of controlling his dice. For one thing, they understand that he's the one who FEEDS them and he does have devices he can use to lock the dice up. I did say that he has devices, he just doesn't use them very often. He has to use them on the wilder dice. Basically, once they're defeated, he puts them in the dice rack, which keeps them in stasis for a time, but he still has to get them out and excercise them or they degrade. It's at that point that he can command them using things I haven't shown yet since we haven't seen a lot of training sessions of actual training.

He often has lights dim or off when angry.

He has the unique ability to play with the elements - very few master dice can manipulate their surroundings - he's outstanding at it, but it takes a lot out of him. It does not work in arenas (do to the lack of natural surroundings).

Possibly as a result of his being bonded to an experimental dice, as he levels up, he has more problems with thinking - especially in battle. He reacts instead of thinks. It starts to unravel his mind at a few levels lower with each reset. He had no problems during the forced/training set, but when he was reset for first set, he leveled twice as powerful as other same leveled dice. The same happened for his second reset, giving him an exponential increase in power. He does not remember the final battle of the last set, and Damian is very vague at exactly what happened, but stated Lexx was not himself. It's showing signs of happening yet again, and sooner. He never hit one of his dice before this time.


Trivia

  • Lexx's original name was Shira Sakura Lexx, but Sakura was dropped (now Shira Cade Lexx) so it wouldn't appear she was copying an anime (Card Captor Sakura was popular at the time)
