The Great Cosmic Overlord (aka G.C.O., genuflection not required) is currently recognized as the galactic head of state by 94 planets in the Milky Way. He resides in the tropical island paradise of Singapore (Planet: Earth), and is studying J1 (11th grade) at Raffles Junior College. Despite having no interest whatsoever in pursuing a medical career path, he is in Med Fac, and hence is tormented by his Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology tutors daily.
G.C.O. belongs to a family consisting of Dad, Mom, and his two dysfunctional younger siblings. His parents are both JC teachers (F Maths and Econs respectively; pple wonder why he doesn't opt to do those subjects...read why here). Due to pecularities in the space-time continuum, he does not live in the same parallel universe as the rest of his family...or the rest of the multiverse, for that matter.
G.C.O. is interested in Science in general, and Science in specific. Despite his obvious lack of aptitude, he has (so far) been drafted into the Physics and Chem Olympiads. His ambition is to be a contestant in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, and regards his Olympiad trainings as the perfect means to achieve this end. At an early age, he was subjected to severe trauma in the form of violin lessons, which he endured for 9 years until he received his DipABRSM. Quite understandably, he refuses to perform the vile instrument, and is seeking emotional recuperation in RJChorale.
G.C.O. does not relish the prospect of cannibalizing his subjects, and hence is a vegetarian. Recently, his digestive system has adapted itself to the metabolism of caffeine for sustanence, this change having nothing whatsoever to do with his impending promotional examinations. Whenever he feels the need to indulge his prodiguous intellect, he reads Prachett, Dahl, and Tolkien, in that order. His musical tastes range from the austere (Rach, Strav, Bach) to the parochial (MLTR, SYZ, Enya).
G.C.O. also comes in a range of action figures, complete with accessories (each sold separately). Look out for them in leading department stores (coming Winter 2k1).
