Background

Stellar Paladin Champion of the Goddess of the Many Worlds, Paxton has had several lives in several universes, most recently in a universe that was designed for him, where he had a wife, three children, and a long and storied career as a spaceship captain in the Interstellar Patrol Service, where he acted as a sort of interstellar police officer.

He is widely known as the goddess's favorite. He can't be permanently killed, as she always brings him back. He is married to Runia, a dragon who finds his outbursts of anger amusing. Runia is the Stellar Mage Champion.

Paxton has been a member of the Many Worlds for over twenty-five years and been friends with Iuri Gavrilenko for almost as long. He is otherwise not well-liked or popular, though he has earned a level of respect from people in the Many Worlds, many of whom participated in his universe as versions of themselves. They have all returned to being their regular selves at this point, though; only Paxton seems interested in rejecting the larger reality of the Many Worlds for the smaller one of his own universe.

Since returning from his universe, Paxton has begun removing people from his universe to add them to the broader multiverse. As an example, he brought Dr. Kenna Carver to Luma.

Personality

Autistic, Paxton operates with a baseline of annoyance most of the time. Noisy and bright environments are uncomfortable for him, hurting his eyes and ears, and it tends to put him in a bad mood and make his default approach standoffish. He is also extremely direct and blunt, which many people find aggressive, and lacks social tact.

Despite his many flaws, he is an unfailingly honest and moral person. He helps others, and is extremely nonviolent. He tends to think through problems thoroughly and consider all the conceivable variables.

He can be stubborn almost to a fault, but he's learned enough emotional intelligence to recognize his own stubbornness much of the time. He is also generally loyal to his friends, willing to forgive most transgressions.

Overall, Paxton can be a frustrating person to deal with, but those who put up with him will say it's worth it.
