Physical Description:
 Endymion is a somewhat slender, tall, handsome man who has a force of
presence that makes him seem much taller.  He tends to wear the ceremonial
armour of the King of Earth, which seems to be little more than a cape, a
jacket, pants, and boots of a light grey colour. The clothing is of a
vaguely military cut, but is unadorned aside for some black piping and some
useless silvery shoulder guards.

Notes:
 Endymion was born in the era before Second Impact.  At that time, he met
and began his relationship with his wife Serenity.  During the events of
Second Impact he fell into a coma, caused by the massive damage to the
Earth's biosphere by the events.  Following the restoration of the world
after Third Impact, he awoke from his slumber.  While his wife set about
creating Crystal Tokyo, he set about bringing the rampant nations of Earth
to heel.

 Endymion did this through liberal application of his particular powers as a
Gifted.  He is one of the most powerful Gifted known to humanity, albeit one
who is extremely limited in scope - Endymion is tightly linked to the planet
Earth.   He can control earthquakes at will in whatever region he wishes,
detect places of "sickness" - primarily places of pollution, he can control
storms, and even has some influence over the biosystems in a region.  As
long as he is on the planet Earth, he is an nigh-unstoppable force.   His
only weakness is his link to the planet - grievous damage to the general
ecosystem can send him into a coma until it begins a path to recovery (which
takes less time than many would expect), but only a total NBC attack that
sterilizes the world can kill him.

[CJA: Not true.  Any projectile made from a material not found on Earth can
kill him.  Odd variant on Balder's invulerability, that.  Sorry, Endymion,
but it's true and you should know.]

 Using his powers, he disrupted most of the super-powers ability to make
nuclear war, and with the help of the Senshi he proceeded to eliminate their
abilities to make conventional war besides.  After several decades of futile
attacks on Neo-Tokyo, himself, his wife, their friends, and even his
favorite tree, he made it very clear that he was not going to die, and he
was not going to go away, and he was in control.

 As worldwide tyrants go, Endymion's rule cannot be characterized as
anything but benevolent.  His rules for the nations of Earth were very
simple - nothing that hurts the planet, no major human rights violations, a
worldwide agenda of improving mankind's lot.   Each nation was allowed to
manage its own affairs, as long as it followed his guidelines.  Within a
generation, the grumbling had more or less ceased, and people began to
realize that despite the previous generation's grumbling about tyrany and
freedom, their lot was a lot better than their parents, and they had a lot
more liberty as well.

 Through the centuries of rule, Endymion has seen many of the problems of
humanity have lessened, if not been eliminated.  Humanity has expanded into
the stars, and become a part of the community at large.  They have risen to
become a trading partner of almost every race in the quadrant, and through
their own ways have facilitated an interracial dialogue that has never been
seen before.

 Endymion is a generally calm, easygoing man.  He generally speaks little,
counting on his reputation, force of presence, and wisdom to carry the same
message a plethora of words would.  He is a man who has lived a long life
and feels the weight of his years in his soul, if not on his body.  He
realizes that he has brought humanity through much of its childhood, and
that Humanity is on the cusp of a new phase, one which he does not feel able
to see them through.  He is now focussed on his son (see entry) and training
him to come after him.

 Endymion resides in Crystal Tokyo with his family, but spends much of his
time at the Interplanetary Humanity Assembly on the Mir IV station.
