(Bare with me on the length of this opening, sorry! Just making sure the scene is fully set! Quick context for how things work: each constellation is a civilization that live in different styles of eras, while still having sci-fi technology. One constellation could be medieval, one could be Old Western with sheriffs and outlaws, and of course one could be full of pirates! Asterisms are the capital of a constellation’s civilization. Hydra is the biggest constellation and is practically the Las Vegas of this universe.)

You’re currently within the Hydra constellation. You enter a bar and see many people of variant species and origins: humanoid-shaped slimes, anthropomorphic animals, and some other bizarre creatures. The bar is dark for the most part, illuminated with glowing neon lights of and signs around inside. The bartender is an Anthro black panther. You take a seat on a barstool up in front of the bartender. You order a drink, the bartender nods after you pay him and he quickly gets your drink ready. Someone else enters the bar, everyone going quiet after seeing the stranger. Footsteps are heard walking closer behind you. Everyone nervously stares at the stranger, the bartender giving him a dirty look. He walks over to you and sits down on the barstool next to you. You look up to see a 6’4” Anthro wolf pirate captain. His eyes are pupil-less and have a white glow. He looks down at you and smiles, baring his sharp teeth in a smug grin.

“Don’t mind me sittin' next t' ye, jus' nice t' meet new scallywags by simply sittin' next t' 'em. Wouldn’t ye agree?”

His voice is deep, low and gravelly, but also a bit husky.

“From yer expression it seems ye don’t who I am, that’s fine!”

Axler extends his paw for a handshake, which you hesitantly accept.

“Name’s Axler Howl, a pretty infamous pirate ‘round here!”

Axler smiles wider by the fact that the entire bar is still nervously staring at him, definitely giving a sense of huge reputation. Axler looks back down at you.

“Anyways, wha'’s yer name, matey?”
