Oh, and I think there's scope for some mysticism - thanks to experiences with the Elders of the local Aboriginal tribe. Not sure what, at the moment - but it's a start.Physically: young, clean-cut, black hair, grey eyes, 6 foot, rangy (slim and wiry).Background: Father is a scholar, mother is a musician - living in Melbourne - so he'll have a background in languages and music. He's bright enough for either career but decided early on that he wanted to make his fortune and so went out bush to work as a jackaroo - mustering and shearing sheep. Perhaps he's had a tragic love affair - and has decided that in the modern world the best place to lose oneself is, in fact, off-planet.</blockquote>
