A man searching at a drift in a space not his space, inside his mighty vessel the Star Ship.  A powerful man, a demigod of science.  Old, very old, and older still.  Though he does not look his age.  At the apex of what living things may strive for one day.  He wants for nothing; food, water, air, all ancient needs for him and his expiration date is unlimited.  The only thing he wants is what he's been looking for all these years.

I have trouble understanding the character. So he is very old and a scientist in space, that makes me recall Einstein or goofy Farnsworth from Futurama. On the other hand he is a rugged powerful man doing space adventure like a space marine and I can't reconcile these two images.

I can't blame you if you can't understand my vision for this man.  Its likely I wasn't able to communicate that properly.  Mainly the reason for why this thread exists.  I need help in writing it.

The character is was a scientist.  Before that, he was just a nobody.  Then, something in the past changed him, through science.  He gained unlimited life, not immortality he can still die.  He's old, but he does not exist in a body, he exist in a spiritual form that can manifest whatever he seems fit to show those he wants to show.  He can manifest a body, anything.  Whatever God can do, he does it through science.  He's not from the universe where we exist, he belongs in a universe nothing related to our universe.  In this scene, he is not even in his universe.  He's in a space from another universe.  As for the thing he's looking for, well it's no longer in the universe he lived in.  Whatever he's looking for, its going to take a hell of a long time for him to find.  Worst than looking for a needle in a haystack.  It's more like he's looking for a needle, in the ocean, somewhere in this universe, but he has no idea where to look, simply he continues to look because he's not going to stop.  The story is that he has found a clue in the form of Upun Tambor, a humanoid from a random planet he's found.  The only problem is, the scientist has to compare the clue to a very massive collection of data to verify that he was correct.  As the Scientist tries to confirm, He and his captive are going to speak and tell stories of his findings as he treks the multiverse searching for the answer.

Hope that helps.  If it doesn't, I'll try again.  Because I am serious about this.  Not a vanity project.
