Open Starter after so much time
[-March 26th, 2050 ~ Spring season-]
A question is asked from Earl Zolubu, the Blue Scorpion King, 55 years old, but looks 30. The king of his manor home in the northern countryside of Atlas, Remnant, but nowhere else, the boss of the BLU X-Hunter team, the Black Blood Beasts, and the idol producer of the Cinderella Girls project of the 346 Pro agency.
"I wonder how many people actually appreciate black metal as music?"
His voice is a shockingly bassy voice, on top of being gravelly & coated in a Scottish accent, that rumbles through his throat to a degree as the question is spoken through his lips. His upper lip is one of flesh, and the lower lip is falsely shaped to match its upper twin through being made out of rubber, since his lower jaw is literally steel.
And his short but wide & trained stature, having him look like a warrior with long, wavy light blue hair, put up in a big ponytail, especially with his several facial scars, belies a possible assumption that his voice would match his height of only 5'2". And he has a wavy mustache as well, akin to the 'tache of Sam Elliot.
An jagged X-shaped scar that branches out from the center of his face, a thin vertical slash on his left eye, a healed third degree burn wound around his whole right eye socket, some of it covered by his thick & bold eyebrow, and four wide horizontal scars on his forehead. But his right eye still works.
And he is wearing a simple, plain black long-sleeved shirt, barely obscuring the outline of his arms, a black utility belt, a monochrome criss-cross patterned kilt, and black & blue brogue shoes.
The black metal song, 'Bitter Reality', by Desolate Thoughts, plays from his iPhone XZ connected to a medium-sized speaker that can be lifted with one hand, on a small & simple black wooden table.

While he just sits on a chair in the big space within the third and innermost seven-sided bastion star wall surrounding the actual manor. Within its southern part, away from the natural-looking pool, the guest house is to his right, being surrounded by a garden of variety, and Earl faces the truly tall bar gate, where he can see the long distance, the long road, to the 2nd wall.
A 11-mile-long road, out of the 64 miles that end at the first wall's gate, that Earl knows is brimming with the speed ambient magic circles. Or just the magic portals that appear on command, but not from within his magic.
Surrounded by deep purple chrysanthemums, lotuses, each a different color: Red, four petals. Vermilion, six petals. Yellow, ten black petals, Green, 12 petals. Sky blue, 16 purple petals. Purple, 2 white petals. & Pink, 1 thousand petals in 20 layers, each layer having 50 petals; Dark orange pasques, spring green, or magic mint, & gold marigolds, puce, or dusky pink, bellflowers, pale turquoise lilies of the valley, dark blue camellias, dark tan irises, raspberry rose strelitzias, or Birds of Paradise, tenne, or orange-brown, poppies, dark green daffodils, lavender yarrows, olive green thistles, maroon snowdrop flowers, forget-me-nots, wood roses, red, blue, orange, yellow, green, light blue, purple, black, white, & pink roses.
His hands, which both have a rather petticoat-designed ring on each finger, are interlocked on his lap as a part of his really relaxed, leaned back posture, doing a bit of head-banging, which is basically nodding, to the song. Just looking at the sky with his bright green, slightly downturned, owl-like eyes, but in humanoid sockets, with their galaxy dust-like irises, almost like they are glowing under the red sunlight of the 2 Suns in the sky. The large heart-shaped Sun in a different shade from the clear scarlet daytime sky and its 'partner', the smaller, grinning spiky Sun to its left, with a face, including a spike for a nose.
And they are accompanied by the 15 planetoids orbiting the Earth, including the four moons in their rather close diamond formation. Titus at the top, Iop at the right, the four-horned Goat Skull Moon at the left, & the grinning Crescent at the bottom.
And one of said hands, his right hand, is of black and blue metal. Like the right hand of a 1970s Super Robot, Kotetsu Jeeg.
