Samuel "Javlok" Mayen is the current First Mate to rogue Tennen Deka Price, a space mercenary, operator of the sentient armour Umbra, and captain of the Lotuscraft. Along with his captain, Javlok completed contracts all across the solar system, and is the first human in existence that has been able to wield Orakin Technology. Javlok is also the current vessel of Tsukuyomi.
Background
Mayen's world was attacked by the Sentinels, an alien race that had travelled to his home system in an attempt to extract the planet's resources and population. When the Tennen refused to leave their solar system, rather focusing on developing their own weapons, rogue Tennen Deka Price decided to follow the Sentinels and managed to rescue Mayen, who was on the verge of death from recklessly engaging the Sentinel Queen in a one sided fight in an attempt to recover his family.
Mayen insisted that Deka take him along with his journeys, reasoning that he sought the strength to rescue his family. Taken aback by Mayen's desire for his family's safety, Deka accepts Mayen onboard his ship, the Lotuscraft, and to serve as his "first mate", making Mayen the first human, if not being, to serve as a Tennen's companion.
During one of Deka's missions, the Tennen realizes that Mayen, despite being incredibly devoted and diligent, struggles to keep up with the captain due to his inferior physical abilities in comparison to Umbra. This has led to Mayen acting as "dead weight" during their missions. After a failed assassination contract, Deka decides to train Mayen, however, the weapons and physical demand is too much for his human body to withstand. Ordan suggests that Deka research and build several "adapter implants" to allow Mayen to wield Orakin weaponry, and further suggests that the Tennen upload his combat knowledge and skills to Mayen through a telepathic connection to provide him with the means to keep up with the fast paced combat in their missions.
After around a year, training in the Simulacrum, Mayen becomes proficient with multiple Orakin firearms, and gains the ability to surpass his human limits, gaining superhuman reflexes. Paired with a stronger, more athletic build from consistent strength training, Mayen is able to keep pace with Deka's Umbra, while simultaneously wielding two Harkon heavy rifles in each hand, a testament to his strength.
Following this year, Mayen becomes more and more of an asset to Deka, as the two begin to resonate in missions, completing them with ease. At some point, Mayen even succeeds in defeating one of the Sentient Generals singlehandedly. Deeply impressed by this, Deka decides to give Mayen the nickname "Javlok", after the speargun, as the Tennen recognizes Mayen's fearless approach to combat. Despite being a ranged support, the first mate does not hesitate to rush forward in combat when the situation demands it, taking on opponents that are physically stronger than him and still reigning victorious.
Appearance
Javlok possesses a somewhat powerful build, from his training with Deka in the Simulacrum, as well as accompanying the rogue Tennen in numerous contracts across the solar system. Javlok's black hair is grown long, reaching past his shoulders and is frequently seen wearing his Orakin Facemask, which conceals his face. Several long bangs falls past his forehead, reaching his chin.
Underneath his mask, Javlok is described to have a round innocent face and brown eyes, accompanied with a pair of eyeglasses. Deka has stated that Javlok possesses a face that "doesn't belong on the battlefield", and that his face doesn't match his age, initially mistaking his crew member to be in his teenage years.
