Backstory: Clark Nelson was a bookish archaeologist who daydreamed about going on exciting adventures, until one day he was accidentally abducted by an alien teleporter signal. Not being able to communicate with his unintentional captors, he was imprisoned as a stowaway. Later on, on their home planet, Clark was able to slowly learn the alien language, and began to communicate. He managed to parley his freedom, on the condition that he assist their scientists. This soon became apparent that he was intended to be a guinea pig for their inventions. However, after several months of this work, his new home was attacked by alien raiders. Stealing an experimental suit, jetpack, and weapon from the lab, Clark jumped into action, seeing a way to gain favour with the powers that be. Helping to repel the invaders, and even battling their leader, Clark found himself rather terrified but also invigorated that his previous wandering thoughts were now far more real than he could have ever imagined. Finally, when the invaders were fought off, Clark was brought before a court to face punishment for his theft of equipment. He managed to convince the authorities that this had been the kind of job he'd done before being accidentally kidnapped, and spun them a fanciful tale of Rip Savage, protector of the innocent, punisher of the evil, declaring that he must protect other planets from these pirates that had threatened his new home. Having become fluent in their language and subtly using what little he'd learned of their legends and myths, Clark convinced them that he was some sort of fantastic hero. They allowed him to keep his gear and assisted him in travelling to other planets. In one battle, he lost his vision and was given cybernetic eyes superior to his natural vision by the civilisation he came to save.
Miscellaneous: Clark has a habit of lying and telling tall tales, especially to make himself look better. He often comes up with fake names or titles that he thinks sound cool.
