Starlevel The Great

Starlevel the Great is an enigmatic being who has made several appearances throughout the Rance Series.

An artificial hybrid of Human genes and those of a Kurupistonian, an alien race from the planet Kurupiston that exists within the same universe as The Continent, Starlevel the Great was created under the name "Mars the Great" for the purpose of assimilating within human society to acquire females of the species for use in kurupistonian breeding.

While the eccentricities that stemmed from being an alien lifeform caused Mars the Great to do an extremely poor job of blending in with humans, it also bestowed him with an unconventional charisma that caused others to be drawn toward him. Over time, Mars the Great amassed a cult of personality around himself, and was able to found a city in the southwestern corner of the Free Cities Alliance, which was named Mars in tribute to him. Despite often enacting unusual policies, such as requiring that all citizens wear clothing similar to his own, Mars the Great proved to be a surprisingly excellent mayor, causing his city to prosper and his followers to remain slavishly devoted to him.

At some point after becoming the mayor of Mars, Mars the Great chose to become a Level God for unknown reasons, changing his name to "Starlevel the Great" in the process. Seemingly no longer interested in the goal he was created for, he began travelling across the Continent and appearing before hardworking people who had reached their Level Caps to temporarily increase them in recognition for maintaining a positive outlook on life even after reaching the full extent of their potential.
