Caeyin

Age: 20

Race: Lunairan

Bio: Caeyin has only ever known the inside of a spaceship. He was born after the Lunairans fled from their own dying planet in search of a new land to call home, and he was only four when they found the Earth. The Lunairans spent the next five years analyzing and monitoring the planet, occasionally sending down spies once they realized how similar they looked to the dominant race: humans. Caeyin’s father was one of these spies. He was also part of a squadron that spread the Plague.

Until that day, Caeyin’s father was the one who taught him about the humans and their planet. He always had interesting stories and tales of fascinating inventions. Caeyin was immediately taken in by the humans’ ingenuity and secretly admired them for their efforts, though he never told anyone about this. Not even his father.

Towards the end of the first infiltration wave, his father’s luck ran out. His ship was attacked by the humans in a last ditch attempt to stave off the Lunairans. No one survived. Caeyin was initially angry when he found out that the beings he had so admired had killed his father, but after a while, that anger gave way to understanding. The humans were being forced off their own planet by a group of foreign beings they had never encountered before. It was only natural to fight back. He came to accept that his father had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

His mother didn’t share his opinion. She developed a burning hatred for the creatures that murdered her mate. She wanted to launch a full-scale attack to avenge him, but the Higher Powers refused to let her take their fighter ships. They were set on their plan of letting the Plague do the work so they wouldn’t need to shed any of their own blood. His mother would not stand for it. One night, she stole a solo-fighter ship and piloted it down to the Earth to strike back at the humans. It was still early enough that the Plague had barely taken effect, so the humans were strong enough to fight. They shot her down in a matter of minutes.

Unbeknownst to her, Caeyin had also snuck on board her ship. Being young and not understanding what she had been about to do, he was taken down with her. However, by some miracle, he made it out of the crash with his life. He came away severely injured and disoriented, and he passed out almost immediately upon seeing his mother's dead body. What happened next was all a blur. He vaguely remembered someone finding him and nursing him back to health, but as years went on, the memory faded and he assumed it must have been one of his people, since he had ended up back on the Lunairan ship again after the incident.

As he got older, Caeyin slowly moved past losing his parents in the war against the humans. He focused instead on his studies that would determine his future career. It was about this time that he learned he had a slightly unique ability that none of his peers shared. Instead of simply sharing visions and thoughts with others telepathically, he figured out that he was able to completely take over a target's optical pathways to make them see hallucinations.

As soon as his teachers realized his distinguishing capabilities, he was immediately placed into training to become a foot soldier for the Lunairan military. He learned to use his enhanced telepathic abilities to fight by making his opponents blinded by hallucinations during a battle. In practicing this, he discovered that he was only able to target one opponent at a time with the trick, but in one on one matches, he was unbeatable.

His instructors were pleased with his capabilities, but unfortunately, the feelings did not extend to his peers. The other Lunairans in the military training program found his unique ability both strange and frightening. Because of this, they distanced themselves from Caeyin, distrusting of him since he didn't fit the same mold as everyone else.

So, when he found out he had been chosen by the Higher Powers to scout out the Earth in search of any living humans, he was more than happy to go and leave his suspicious peers behind.

Biography:
Evelynia was born to a rather wealthy family and had a great young life. She had a wonderful father who cared greatly for her, a mother who was very patient and kind, and a twin brother who was mischievous and an amazing partner in crime. As Evelynia grew, she began to realize that she was different. While her twin brother was allowed to go to normal school when he turned four, Evelynia was homeschooled by her mother and father. Her brother was allowed to go to birthday parties and sleepovers. She wasn't. It hurt a lot and finally the little girl asked why she was being treated so differently from her brother. It was then that her mother and father sat down with their two children and told them the truth.

Their mother was different. Not like any people from this planet. She was known as a 'Lunairan'. And, where as her brother Toni was like their father and completely void of any Lunairan traits, Evelynia wasn't. She had two different eyes, something that she honestly didn't think much of, as they had always been this way and her mother always told her how beautiful they were. One was a human eye, while the other was a Lunairan eye. Not only that, but without even realizing it, she was showing signs of Lunairan abilities. From the time she was an infant she had been using what her mother called 'empathy' to get them to understand how she felt, and had even once or twice showed signs as a toddler of using telekinesis. With her being so different, her parents had kept her home, not wanting to risk her getting hurt by people that just didn't understand her.

They were also told of the unfortunate views of her own Lunairan people, including why her mother had been originally sent here to Earth. That her mother had come here to originally scout and find weaknesses within the human culture. Because her mother's people having such a hatred for humans, they had to keep their whole family a secret from them.

But, in seeing her wishes to her not wanting to be kept inside and hidden away, they helped her to find new ways to hide her Lunairan heritage. Her mother began wearing colored contacts to hide her purple eyes, while Evelynia herself wore a matching blue one to hide her one purple eye. With this, she was able to blend in and at least go out to public places without worry of being harmed, though she was still homeschooled in both human schooling and Lunairan culture, including her gifts and abilities.

It was when she turned seven that things took a turn for the worst. Her father had worked for the government, creating robots that could fight enemies. These robots did well at first, fought in wars for the country so that none of their men had to. It made her father, and in turn her family, well known and even wealthier than before. But, because of his well liked status and ability to create these war machines, when the aliens first become known to the public, her father was one of the first people to be hunted down. She had been with her father, both her mother and twin brother having been out for a mother-son day when the attack happened. She remembered being so frightened, begging her father to go find her mother and Toni, yet her father told her that going to look for her would put all of them in danger, as her mother would be marked for a traitor by her people, along with all the other human sympathizers. Her mother would be doing all she could to keep herself and Toni out of harms way and to keep the Lunairans from finding them. It was her father's job to do the same with Evelynia.

Her father took her away from their home, where they met with her uncle on her father's side, an old military buff. Together the three of them left off, heading toward somewhere. Her father said he knew a safe place to go, somewhere a few states away.

They never made it far. The Lunairan scouts found them during a stop for supplies, corning them. Though the two men were able to fight them off and kill them, one had managed to shoot and wound her father in a deadly fashion. Hours later, her father passed away and it was just she and her uncle. Her uncle had no idea where this place was that her father was taking them, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. They kept moving, Evelynia staying with her uncle as everything went to hell. At some point, her father ahd stopped them and had left for a couple of weeks to go searching for other survivors, leaving her to stay hidden with their supplies. Yet, the curious young girl left the hideaway, where she found a crashed Lunairan ship. The child, curious about the craft built by her mother's people, approached. Finding the body of a dead Lunairan woman and the body of a child her age. At first she had thought the boy to be dead, yet after seeing him move, she brought him back to her hideaway.

There, she helped him get back to health and befriended the lad. The two played together and talked. She even went as far as to, in a silly little girl way, promise him that she was going to marry him one day (though he didn't seem sure about such a claim himself). In their closeness and him finding out about her own heritage, he told her he was going to bring her to the other Lunairans, so she would be safe. Yet...when they arrived, they took the boy away and shot her with a silencer. It was painful, and she thought she was dead to be honest, just as the Lunairans thought she was. But, they were all wrong. She woke up hours later and returned to her hideaway, staying there alone until her uncle returned.

Everything went downhill for the humans from that horrible day that the first invasion happened. Many humans were killed and Lunairans, in order to avoid loosing many of their own, they, instead of killing the remaining humans directly, had a sickness spread throughout the planet and left temporarily on their ship, letting the disease take over and do their dirty work for them. This disease, if it did not kill the humans, would turn them into...something else. A being that was blind, but instead was lead by its sense of hearing. Though very few humans and animals that caught the disease turned into these beasts, they were still a huge danger and something to avoid if possible.

For years, her uncle kept them safe and hidden, and somehow he managed to not catch the disease for a long while. He would go out and gather supplies for them. For a long time he was doing well. But, it was when she was 14, that Evelynia began to notice her uncle weakening. He was growing older, and thus had a more weaker immune system. Then, one day, after going out for supplies, her uncle came crawling back into their secret hide away, dying from sickness. Within the next few days, he suffered greatly. He realized the suffering would only grow and the disease would take much longer for him to die, he asked her to shoot him and she refused at first. Days later though, when her uncle began to show signs of not dying, but instead turning into one of those horrible beasts. He begged again for her to end him, and though she didn't want to, she knew it was best for him and so, the fourteen year old innocent girl was forced to kill the last human she would ever be close to.

For the next few years, Evelynia had somehow managed to keep herself alive since her uncle's death, and thanks to her being able to move fast and the fact she can out smart the remaining humans and savage beasts, she has kept out of deaths grip. And now, years after the aliens came and with all other humans besides herself dead and gone, the aliens are returning.
