[Black Alice]

Goddess of the Heavenly Host

---

Name: Ilias
Race: Goddess
Gender: Female

Origin: Monster Girl Quest
Objectives: Establish a new Heaven, and recreate the world in her image. Genocide any monstrous elements where relevant.
Temperament: Arrogant, Condescending, Manipulative- I mean, unconditionally kind, patient and loving to all humans. They are like her children, after all.

Affiliation: Heaven
Alignment: Lawful Good
Background: Ilias was the self-proclaimed Goddess of her world, before she got betrayed and killed by the Hero Luka. Or so she thought, but now she's here, along with a few of her subordinates. Immediately after arriving, she was attacked by strange, mutant creatures resembling monsters, but possessing power beyond imagining. To make it worse, somehow, they had been transported to a world without Heaven, so neither she nor her host of angels were resistant to the sudden new enemies attacks, as they usually would be.

The result, was the loss of an entire host of Angels before Ilias and her subordinates managed to escape into the sky and to the nearest landmark they could find.

There, they licked their wounds and tried to make sense of this strange new world. And by they, I mean Promestein tried to make sense of it, while Ilias threw a tantrum after finding out she was too weak to kill so much as a fly with her remaining divine power. This tantrum mostly involved bullying Eden, who was also in a reduced state, albeit not nearly as extremely as her mistress.

---

Skills: As a Goddess, Ilias doesn't see much need for complex skills, preferring to absolutely destroy her foes with pure power. What skills she does employ, are entirely intellectual. She's a ruthless strategist, and a terrifying manipulator.

With patience and control beyond measure, she plays her opponents like puppets in the palm of her hand. She sets up elabourate and carefully measured plots that span hundreds, or even thousands of years, pulling them off even under the scrutiny of some of the greatest minds in her world. No matter your wit and the preparations you make to face against her, never underestimate the Goddess of Light.

---

Abilities: (In her sealed state... there isn't very much that Ilias can do. She is, to put it plainly, straight up weaker than most of the Ninth Level Angels she has serving her, her power level falling closer to that of a ten year old girl with a taser. Still, its worth mentioning that the ten year old in question was once the near omnipotent Goddess of Light, and there are certain qualities from her old being that she still retains even in her child-like state.)

She also possesses all of the innate physical traits belonging to her Angels, such as flight, conditional invulnerability and exploding into holy energy on death.

-Holy Magic: Ilias is still able to preform most of her divine magic in her current state, it is just ludicrously reduced in power and has a much more limited number of uses due to the lack of holy energy in this new world.

Examples of this holy magic are a magical binding, similar in strength to wrapping the enemy in a rubber band. For a more offensive approach, she can employ the fearsome Thunder of Retribution, which boasts a raw power equivalent to rubbing your feet on shag carpet and touching your opponent. Learning of these fantastic powers at her command, its easy to see how she could have dominated an entire world for millions of years.

Oh, and she can tear out souls. And melt them into holy energy. That hasn't changed, because its not really something that requires raw power.

Praise Ilias.

-Angel Creation: Something Ilias came up with to combat the infinite loneliness of timeless solitude in the nebulous void of holy light that is Heaven. By fragmenting her consciousness, and creating a double of herself from a mold of holy energy, Ilias can give birth to new beings with their own personalities and traits, derived from her own existence. She can give them a variety of traits and appearances, but she can't do anything to take away their individuality, or instill them with knowledge beyond that of any other newborn creature.

Thankfully, most Angels stay absolutely loyal to their creator for the rest of their lives. So she never has to worry about those pesky rebellions!

So long as she has holy energy available, Ilias can always create more Angels. However, in this new world with such limited holy energy, it has become incredibly difficult to produce Angels of any significant quality or quantity. This is something she is going to have to remedy, before she can make use of any of her more effective classes of Angels.

The Scientist of Heaven

---

Name: Promestein
Race: Angel (Ninth Circle)
Gender: Female

Origin: Monster Girl Quest
Objectives: To know the truth.
Temperament: Clinical, and curious. Has a distinct interest in humanity.

Affiliation: Heaven
Alignment: True Neutral
Background: The founder of the Seekers of Truth, who gambled everything on the pursuit of the final answer to her studies, and lost. Upon finding herself in a strange world, under stranger circumstances, her flaming passion for science and discovery flared up once more. She has grudgingly sided with her least favourite person for the time being, so that she can get a better grasp on the situation.

---

Skills: Magic. Alchemy. The sciences. Promestein, who sought to uncover every last secret of this world, is a master of all who accelerated the world to unimaginable technological heights, just as she once accelerated mankind by gifting them fire.

-Science & Fabrication: Given time, Promestein can create incredible technologies. Using advanced bio-engineering and robotics, she can forge new life forms to fit her needs, or use cloning to duplicate and iterate upon existing designs. Complex machines and sentient AI, virtual gods that govern the elemental forces, nothing is beyond her grasp. All she is lacking, is materials...

---

Abilities: (The same capabilities as any other Angel of the Ninth Circle. Conditional invulnerability, innate flight, the works.)
Promestein, unlike Ilias and Eden, isn't sealed. This isn't because she had any sort of special protection or anything, but rather, she was simply so weak to begin with that there wasn't much left to weaken when transported to this new, inhospitable environment.

-Alchemy: Different from science or magic, existing somewhere in between and dabbling in both sides equally, Alchemy is the art of the transformation of matter. Using strange chemistry and arcane methodology, this is the primary technique Promestein uses for creating her various laboratories and scientific instruments.

Its worth noting that while many mundane materials, and even precious metals can be transmuted easily, special materials are beyond reach without significant time, and effort.

-Magic: Nearly indistinguishable from her command over the sciences, Promestein nonetheless is stated to have vast command over magic in all of its forms.

These aren't used for combat, but rather, to supplement her various creations. She has been shown to be able to reverse-engineer most magic given time, and craft a variety of powerful magical devices, especially methods of sealing or disrupting magical power.

---

Equipment: All of the tools she needs to establish a laboratory, courtesy of Alchemy. A simple mirror, for scrying. Samples of human DNA.

Protagonist Points: 3

Threat Rating: 1

Heaven's General

---

Name: Eden
Race: Angel (Seraphim)
Gender: Female

Origin: Monster Girl Quest
Objectives: To loyally serve and protect her most based Goddess Ilias.
Temperament: Majestic, pure and undyingly loyal to Ilias's goals, desires and opinions. Like a flying, eldritch puppy. Just don't mention the number three around her.

Affiliation: Heaven
Alignment: Lawful Good
Background: The third Seraphim created by Ilias, and also the only one who didn't inevitably betray her. She tried her hardest to get along with Ilias's other allies, namely the heretic Promestein and rogue Monster Lord, Black Alice, but in the end pretty much everything she did went wrong. Eventually she was sealed by the Hero Luka, and now she finds herself here, given another chance to cherish and protect the light of her life. She could ask for no greater pleasure.

---

Skills: As one of Ilias's greatest generals, Eden is a master of military strategy. Unlike the other two Seraphim, she did not specialize in single combat, instead ruling from behind the scenes and, if the time called for it, crushing her opponents with the sheer strength of her true form.

---

Abilities: (Similar capabilities to other Angels when in her human form. This includes flight, conditional invulnerability and the power to explode into holy light on death. As a Seraphim, Eden possesses incredible strength, speed and durability compared to other, lower-class Angels, although not nearly as great as she would possess in her true form.)

-Holy Magic: Uses the same Holy Magic used by other Angels, at the level of Seraphims surpassed only by the Goddess Ilias herself. Binds, barriers and blasts of holy energy are all possible, although with the limited amount of holy energy here on the Ragnarok Array, she has trouble using any large amount of Holy Magic, even with access to a Node.

-True Form Assumption: While normally its something she could preform on will, in this new world that is completely void of any holy energy she has trouble finding the circumstances where she can assume this state for any extended duration of time. Only in a region bathed in holy energy can Eden attain her full strength, and crush the foes of Heaven under the might of her many wriggly appendages.

---

Equipment: A golden spear, with Ilias's name carved millions of times in microscopic font along the shaft. She calls it the "Iliaspear".

Protagonist Points: 0

Threat Rating: 2 (Due to limited access to her True Form.)

The Heavenly Host

Faction Name: Heaven
Leader: Ilias

Alignment: Lawful Good
Universe of Origin: Monster Girl Quest
Starting Situation: Battered

Background: In their world, the forces of Heaven served to project Ilias's will into the surface world, and to fight against her enemies. Angels beyond the level of the Ninth Circle rarely interacted with the human world, instead governing from heaven.

Entering this world with close to 1500 strong angel soldiers and two loyal Angel captains to lead them, Ilias should have been perfectly set up to succeed in this arena of death. If only luck had been in her favour. Before she and her warriors even had a chance to prepare, they were assaulted by incredible, mutated creatures similar to monsters. It took everything they had, and the sacrifice of one of Ilias's captains to buy them a window to escape.

She, her generals and her remaining soldiers took to the sky, seeking out a high place to claim as their seat of power and lick their wounds. Only just recently have they begun to fortify, Promestein searching for appropriate territory to establish a laboratory and Ilias and her followers establishing holy ground around the unusual structure Promestein has temporarily christened a "Node".

Officers:
-Cupid (Deceased)
-Valkyrie: An Angel of the Ninth Circle, whose combat prowess was said to approach that of an Archangel. Serves as a captain in Ilias's angelic host.
-Karen: A named Replicant, the first to see the improvements Promestein came up with over the original Replicant design. A loyal lab assistant, possessing a brilliant intellect and an improved reproduction ability over her sisters. Serves as Promestein's second in command.

Victory Conditions: Divine Resurgence (See "Holy Energy" right below )
Special Resources: Holy Energy. The energy, and material used to form Angels and power their Holy Magic. By converting Nodes into holy ground and sanctifying them with Ilias's power, they can create stationary wells of holy light, which saturate a small region with energy in conditions mirroring those in the Angel's home environment.

Over time and following the addition of new Nodes, pouring out Holy Energy into the environment, the amount of space governed by Ilias's light will grow drastically, until eventually it covers the entire station. When this happens, Ilias will pronounce the Ragnarok Array to be the new Heaven, and transform it into the seat of her divine power in the universe. Nothing in this world can stand in her way at this point, as she turns her eyes to the surrounding chaos...

Order of Battle: Ilias's angelic host is... limited, at the current time, but certainly not weak. Currently, it consists of a single battalion of 600 Angel Soldiers with combat experience and armed with swords, heavenly whips and longbows. While lacking in raw destructive power, the Angel soldiers have enough strength to successfully grapple even high level monsters.

Logistics and Support staff are made up of Replicants, serving under Promestein, of which there are several dozens.

-Skirmish: Scouting formations of Angel Soldiers. Often lead by their Captains (Valkyrie). Meant to filter out weak enemy forces, collect samples and catch opposition out of position.
-Battle: Disciplined formations of Angels, the line being held by Captains (Valkyrie) and backed up by one or more of the humanoid commanders (Ilias, Eden, Promestein) depending on the situation. Special weapons or units may be deployed by Promestein's research team during this phase, but nothing that requires significant backup and energy.
-Climax: All-out war mode. If combat reaches this state, Angels part ranks to make way for the supreme weapons of Heaven, and the greatest of Promestein's creations crawl out from whatever dark holes she has them hidden. Enemies still standing, stand briefly.

Alignment: Any Evil
Starting Situation: Bloodied
Summary [+]

Background: Loyalists from the Sith Empire and the Eternal Empire kept following the Eternal Emperor Valkorion up until his death. First the Sith Empire was decimated by Darth Vitiate, another name for Valkorion, when he drained all life from Ziost and manipulated the minds of an entire world. After his defeat in Ziost, he later sent a piece of his soul into Emperor Valkorion. Emperor Valkorion was then assassinated, where he merged his soul into his own assassin's mind, attempting to take him over. It, of course, did not work and Valkorion was assassinated for real in the Outlander (assassin's) mind, only to be sent to the Ragnarok Array.

The Knights of Zakuul travel in Star Ships, rendered immobile in battles during the First Week.
Order of Battle:
Knights of Zakuul
Skytroopers

Maximillian

Name: Maximillian

Appearance:

Age: 38

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Origin: Evil Genius-variant of Earth

Objectives: Conquering the world, whether Earth or this new one. Everything will be his, and everyone will bow to him.

Temperament: Arrogant and prone to petty insults.

Affiliation: His own evil organization.

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Background: Embarked on a campaign of evil across the world with the end-goal of conquering it. Over the course of this campaign, his army of minions and team of henchmen faced off against the world's alliances of justice and their most dangerous agents. His grand plan was nearing completion when his entire organization was swept away to this new world.

Skills:
- Plotting: Max is always on the lookout for opportunities to expand his influence and strengthen his power base, and he has grown quite adept at spotting chances others would miss.
- Industrialist: Max's background in industry has left him with a strong understanding of how efficient research and manufacturing will advance his agenda.
-Recruitment: There's always malcontents and socially unacceptable individuals happy to sign on for their chance to strike back at the world around them, and Max knows just how to convince them to join his army of minions.
- Back from the Dead: No matter how many minions are slain, unless Max himself is killed, the organization will eventually recover. It may take months, or even years, but Max has both the will and the means to try again and again for world conquest. That said, losing henchmen is a permanent, crippling blow.

Abilities:
- Undying: Named henchmen are exceedingly difficult to put down for sure. Solid proof of their death is needed to ensure they aren't merely in hiding and waiting for their chance to rejoin the ranks of Max's forces.
- For Science!: Max's team of scientists are truly gifted in their capacity to unlock the secrets of new technology. As an example, by applying a few formulas from one of their chalkboards to materials run through their Stress Impact Analyzer, they managed to produce a highly practical nuclear power generator.
- Enhanced Interrogation: Many are the ways an evil genius can torture his captives, and, when their life is on the line, even the exceptionally strong-willed give up the information Max is after.

Equipment:
- Jubei: The ronin-turned-bodyguard. Jubei is always where his master needs him to be, and as such he is able to teleport short distances, but only once or twice a day. In addition, he knows the first strike is the most important, so his initial slash is always his strongest, able to put down most weaker enemies instantly. He also makes some damn-good sushi.
- Dr. Neurocide: Cosmetics and Bioweapons expert. The good doctor acts as Max's head of research and, when forced to fight, she has two preferred concoctions. First is a potent hallucinogen powder kept in her compact that deludes anyone in the area of effect into believing that there's nothing amiss, even if faced with a minion hit-squad. Next is her Poisonous Parfum por Homme, her favorite perfume that quickly renders those caught in the cloud unconscious, allowing her to escape or for them to be captured.
- Colonel Blackheart: Huntsman and gentleman. The Colonel and his pet monkey Pendragon are hunters, but by no means sportsmen. He's not above laying fields of traps specifically designed to injure and slow all manners of beasts and even fellow men. Pendragon is no slouch either; the feisty chimp is known for his love of explosives and will gleefully throw them at whatever dares to threaten the Colonel.
- Lord Kane: The conspirator extraordinaire. He is responsible for the greatest tragedies known to man, highlights including the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the sinking of the Titanic (though he claims that was an accident). Kane is exceedingly convincing, and is able to assure his enemies of both their mistaken assumptions of the evil organization's activities, and of their imminent demise, terrifying them into submission. The strong-willed or very clever might see through his deception, however.
- Montezuma: Voodoo practitioner and gumbo master. Montezuma is a rather jovial, if morbid member of Max's organization. His skill in voodoo magic is such that with but a few moments of preparation, he can control the weak-willed like puppets, or put them in a trance, wiping their recent memories and convincing them that they have accomplished whatever they set out to do.
- Eli Barracuda: The gangsta in a nice suit. Once the head of New York's underworld, Eli was forced into hiding and eventual employment by Max when he publicly shot the mayor for getting wine on his cream-colored suit. Even now, Eli remembers that moment, and the rage, fresh as ever, allows him to make a single, devastating shot with his revolver by picturing the mayor's face over his target's, but, afterwords, he needs the rest of the day to cool down. Also, Eli loves to groove, and carries around a special boombox with a hypnotic track in it that forces the weak-willed to dance to the funky groove until he switches it off or something breaks up the party, like gunshots.
- The Matron: A darling little sadist. A diminutive old lady that could easily be mistaken for someone's grandmother. For the most part, she very much acts the part, pinching the other henchmen's cheeks and nagging Max to eat properly and brush his teeth. Her motherly side helps everyone to function at their best. However, she has a propensity for electro-shock therapy that resulted in her cutting off her arthritic left hand and replacing it with a high-voltage cattle-prod which can send out a pulse strong enough to arc a few feet into multiple victims.

Protagonist Points: 3

Threat Rating: 1

The Evil Organization

Leader: Maximillian
Faction Name: The Evil Organization
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Universe of Origin: Evil Genius
Starting Situation: Stealth
Starting Location: Northeastern Rainforest.

Background:
The Evil Organization had been engaged in a campaign of evil against the nations of Earth, and had even been in the process of constructing the Doomsday Device that would have ensured Max's victory. Sadly, some outside force shunted the organization wholesale from the Uninhabited Island of Undisclosed Location, and they have been preoccupied with reorganizing and cautiously scouting out their new surroundings.
To Max's delight, a scouting team stumbled upon a monolithic structure that seems to have countless, previously thought impossible functions. The science team is feverishly working to unravel the secrets of what they've dubbed "The Node", but have had little success.
Their caution seems to have paid off, for the moment. They've yet to encounter either hostile natives or overly dangerous creatures. The Evil Lair has, for the most part, been rebuilt and, thanks to The Node, the minions lost to agents of justice prior to this event have been replaced.

Officers:
-Jubei: He is Maximillian's bodyguard and a swordsman of exemplary skill.
-Dr. Neurocide: She's Max's head of research. She has a love affair with makeup and bioweapons.
-Colonel Blackheart: An expert and obsessive tracker, he has never lost his quarry.
-Lord Kane: He is an enigmatic and charismatic conspirator.
-Montezuma: You need the voodoo? He's got the voodoo, and gumbo, if you're brave.
-Eli Barracuda: This badass gangsta is always ready for a smash-and-grab, but be careful with his nice suit.
-The Matron: A little old lady with a cattle prod that's more likely to crisp than coerce.

Victory Conditions: TBD

Special Resources: None, currently

Order of Battle:
Max's initial army from Earth totaled a mere 150, but, with The Node's aid, more are being brought in regularly. His forces are best equipped for quick, surgical strikes, but they do not shy from open battle if it furthers his goals. From the Guard with minimal training and a rifle to the abomination of science known as the Freak with its massive fists, Max's forces are adaptable and expendable. Most importantly, he has his henchmen. While formidable, if they were to fall, he'd surely be unable to replace them.

-Skirmish: Guards, Marksmen
-Battle: Mercenaries, Martial Artists
-Climax: Henchmen, Freaks, Doomsday Device (Once built)

Sonia Rainmaker

Name: Sonia Rainmaker

Appearance:


Age: 18

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Origin: Marchen (original world)

Objectives:
Her long-term goal is to find a way to transport her people back to their homeworld. But for now, they had to survive in this alien world first and to do that, she had to gather as much materials as she could with her alchemy. This new world had a lot of new materials she never encountered before and with that, perhaps she could produce new items that would help their survival greatly.

Of course, like any great alchemists, she also has a natural desire to learn more about the new world and the materials available. She doesn't do alchemy just to help others. She also does it to fulfill her own natural curiosity.

Temperament: Not personality, as you should define that in the actual RP. This is just how they typically interact with others.

Affiliation: She will interact kindly and politely to anyone she meets.

Alignment: Neutral Good

Background:
Before she and the rest of the capital were transported to this world, they were on the brink of the so-called "alchemical revolution". warp gates were set up that could take you from the capital to the frontier villages. The development of the land was helped greatly with the creation of self-moving hoes. Not to mention the miraculous seeds and fertilizers that could allow barren terrains to be used as farmlands.

However, her ultimate creation was the creation of artificial life, homonculus, as alchemists called them. They looked just like a human being, except for their elven-like sharp ears. She hadn't created many of them, as they were terribly difficult to make, but the ones she made helped the kingdom in their development by synthesizing items via alchemy. They couldn't help with researching the creation of new items however. They could only imitate her own synthesis process. Basically, they were used to help mass-producing alchemical items. Their personality was that of devoted servants. Originally, they seemed to be emotionless but with prolonged human contact, they started to show emotions of their own.

And then, one day, a great light appeared in the sky, just when Sonia was in the middle of her synthesis. Before she even realized it, the entire capital had been transported here to this world.

Skills:
Her skill and talent in understanding alchemy are beyond any other alchemists. It's not wrong when some people call her a genius. This also makes her really good as cooking as well, though she cooks using alchemy instead of the normal way cooks do, obviously.

Abilities:
Alchemy is a special talent that only few people have. Without it, you wouldn't be able to create even the simplest potions. The ingredients would simply refuse to mix properly. That is why there aren't a horde of alchemists out there, since teaching alchemy to someone with no talent in it is absolutely useless.

Equipment:
1. The Staff of Fate
This staff carries a staggering amount of enchanments, to the point that it can hurt a dragon through its tough scales even if it is swung with minimal force. It can also create powerful shockwaves with its swings. It is also enhanced with the four elements. Its wielder could switch between enhancements or even use all four of them in the same time. And last but not least, every time you get hit with it, you will receive a curse that will weaken you. The curse only compounds the more she hits you with her staff.

2. The Alchemist's Dress
The outfit she wears might look flimsy and exposing, but it grants her protection far beyond that of your ordinary armor. It makes her skin as tough as that of a dragon.

3. The Philosopher's Stone
This stone, which she hangs above her breasts, emits a barrier that protects her from all sorts of damage. It also wards off illness and curses.

4. Boots of Hermes
These boots grant her extraordinary speed and agility. Once she made these boots, she never bothered to take the carriage anymore.

5. Elixir
This potion is the ultimate healing potion, able to heal everyone in a certain radius around it if sprinkled to the air. Its healing is so strong that it can regenerate lost tissue and even organs near instantly. It can even revive the dead back to a perfect living condition, though it has its limitations, mainly the condition of the body and how long the person has died.

6. Tera Bomb
This is the most powerful bomb she ever makes so far. The curious thing is how she can actually control for how big the explosion would be before throwing the bomb. When the explosion is concentrated in a small space, she managed to take down a dragon with just one bomb.

Of course, these are not everything she had in her disposal. But these items are the most powerful and the most used items that she will always carry with her everytime she goes out to search for materials in the monster-infested wilderness.

The Kingdom of Ancent

"For the good of the people"

Faction Name: Kingdom of Ancent
Leader: King Ancent The Fourth
Alignment: Neutral Good
Universe of Origin: Marchen (original universe)
Starting Situation: Avoidance. They are situated outside the major conflict and the king has decided to stay out of it as best as they can.
Background:
Before the shift happened, the kingdom went on its business as usual, another day in the business of answering the citizen's needs and developing the kingdom's infrastructure. Even though the kingdom had been peaceful for such a long time that people couldn't remember when the last war happened, the knights still trained as they still had to protect the kingdom from any possible monster invasion.

When the shift happened however, all hell broke loose. People started to panic but right away, the knights' apt response to the situation quickly calmed them down. And now, with the capital being cut off from the rest of the kingdom, a real threat of starvation and other kinds of resource deprivation had appeared. So the first month was mostly spend developing the areas around the capital to act as farms. Thanks to the miraculous power of alchemy, it was made possible.

Of course, the kingdom also sent scouts to look around the new land they had been transported with. With their help, the kingdom found the so-called "node", dubbed by Sonia, since it produces extremely rare ingredients that are absolutely necessary for high level alchemy like creating the homonculi. She postulates that there are other nodes like this in this world and if she can gain access to enough of them, she will be able to synthesize the tool necessary to transport the capital back to their original world. She just has to create a beefed-up version of the warp gate where it has enough range and strength to transport the entire capital through the border between worlds. If they could be brought here, then there must be a way to go back.

Officers:
1. King Ancen the Fourth = A middle-aged man with a gentle heart that truly cares for his subjects. He arranges and guides the development of the country, advising Sofia on what she has to do.
2. Anastasia

She holds the title of the "strongest adventurer", and she can certainly back up that claim. Her skill with her gun is unmatched, as she can perform as both a sniper and a close range combatant with it.
3. Boris
The leader of the Ancen Knights. This man is pretty much the strongest swordsman out there. His leadership capability is also not to be underestimated as he was the one who kept the city under order right away when it was first transported.
4. Gunther
The best blacksmith that the kingdom has. He is the one who forges the steel and metal Sonya provided into weapons and armor. And since some people prefer light armor made out of fabric, he's unexpectedly good at sewing also. He has some homonculus under his command to provide him with the materials he needs.
5. Tanya
The supply master of the kingdom. She distributes the items needed for adventurers and knights on duty, particularly the ones made by Sonya as they are quite limited in amount. She also employs some homonculus under her to synthesize the items that she needs.

Victory Conditions:
To gather the required materials to create a way to return home.

Special Resources:
1. Water of Life
The main ingredient to create a homonculus. Extremely rare.
2. 1000-Year Flower Nectar
The main ingredient for Elixir. Also extremely rare.
Order of Battle:
Summary [-]
This is the type of unit typically available for each phase of Mass Combat. Except in special circumstances, battles will be resolved over the course of three phases; Skirmish, Battle, and Climax. You can not deploy units later than your current phase but can freely deploy units from passed phases. This is the only structure attached to Mass Combat. Remember that this is just a framework to make battles more interesting. Mass Combat can end at any phase, even Skirmish if someone is defeated or retreats. Include Magick Users, Infantry, Artillery, Monsters, Vehicles, all that good stuff.

Skirmish:
This phase is usually for adventurers as they are more used in travelling in uncharted lands and retreating when they realize they're outmached. Your typical adventurers consist of small groups of frontline fighters (swordsman), backline fighters (archers), and some support in healers. Seeing how they don't have magic, healers will usually use pre-made potions and the like.

Anastasia may join in as she can fulfill the role of a scout and sniper well.

Battle:
This phase is where the knights would join in. They are more suited in direct combat, with their heavy swordsmen and lancers. Their support consists of alchemists that can synthesize medicines and use bombs, lightning rods, poison smog, and other attack items. Boris will be the one leading their charge.

Of course, the adventurers would join in too. Anastasia will switch into her combat mode where she will take the front line. Anastasia prefers fighting head on. The adventurers would still take the role of ambushers however.

Climax:
Here, everything the kingdom has would be unleashed. Homonculi would join the fight as they will utilize the strongest items they have. Sonia would not hesitate to utilitize things like Tera Bomb to wipe out entire forces by herself.

Lawful Neutral

Background:

Orlanth is known as the son of Umath and Kero Fin, the God of the sky, and Goddess of childbirth and mountains respectively. Orlanth already showed great wisdom as a youth, challenging the rule of the Emperor who ruled over them and defeating him in a series of challenges. It was through these challenges that he won the love of his wife Ernalda. As an adult, he founded the Storm Tribe, and was one of the Lightbringers who brought back the Sun to the world and saved it from death.

Suddenly transported to the Array, Orlanth has spent as long as he has been on the new plain attempting to gather the similarly displaced Storm People, succeeding in assembling a tribal moot.

History

Starting Situation:

Battered

Background:

Forged by Orlanth of the first mortals and their godlike kin, the Storm Tribe has seen many years of history. Created by a merger of Orlanth's family and their clans into one singular collective in an attempt to defeat the enemy Night Tribe, the Storm Tribe was the first of its kind, and among the most successful. Although nearly destroyed when the Age of the Gods ended, the Storm Tribe was recreated, including the Orlanthi gods and those mortals who were transported to the new plane. Orlanthi are a scrapping type, even the most peaceful clans raid each-other for cows or silver, and this tenancy was what lead to them being brutalized upon their first arrival to the Ragnarok Array. Finally assembled by Orlanth, the Storm Tribe now rely on the leadership of their gods in order to survive this new battle, and hopefully gain enough magical power to re-enact the Lightbringers Quest and recreate the world.

Military and Strategy

Officers:

Ω Humakt, God of Death and wielder of the sword called Death, able to kill even immortal beings. (Lawful Good)
Ω Ernalda, Goddess of Earth and wife to Orlanth, able to sow fields with nothing but her presence. (Neutral Good)
Ω Eurmal, God of Tricksters and forger of the sword called Death. (Chaotic Neutral)
Ω Elmal, Loyal Guardian, God of Horses and defenders, able to survive being ripped to pieces so long as he is defending something. (Lawful Neutral)
Ω Issaries and Lhankor Mhy, Gods of Trade and Knowledge. (Both Lawful Neutral)
Ω Chalana Arroy, Goddess of Magic and Healing.(Neutral Good)

Victory Conditions:

Re-enactment of the Lightbringers quest.

By taking a large amount of nodes and using them to bring through enough magic to make a heroquest feasible, the Storm Tribe will then enter the Godly Plain and perform the quest. Orlanthi quests have a powerful effect on the real world, and the Lightbringer quest is the most powerful of these, able to completely change the structure of the world.

Special Resources:

Dragonscale is a very rare and very tough fireproof material made from the skin of dragon-newts or drakes, it can be made into many things, but most notably armor, dragonscale armor will bond to the wearer and will grant them greater talent in battle and magic. Other applications include as shields and as wares such as decorative flagons or necklaces. Dragonscale is very magical, and can be used to enhance magical rituals.

Order of Battle:

Skirmish- Fyrdwomen (Drafted women soldiers), Thrall skirmishers, Horse-carried weaponthanes.

Battle- The Fyrd (drafted farmers), Young weaponthanes (Professional soldiers)

Climax- The Gods, Aged Weaponthanes, Shamans and godtalkers.

Bunny

Name: Reisen Udongein Inaba

Age: Unknown, but at least 40.

Race: Lunarian

Gender: Female

Origin: Touhou

Objectives: She really is only there to serve Princess Kaguya and Eirin of Eientei.

Temperament: Level headed and sincere, though she can be cowardly at times.

Affiliation: Eientei (lit. House of Eternity)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Background: Before the Ragnarok, she was a moon rabbit who deserted the Moon War when humans challenged them by sticking a flag on the moon. Fleeing to Gensokyo, she sought the protection of Princess Kaguya and Eirin, also fugitives from the moon. In exchange for being their pet protecting them, she was granted asylum there. Quite some time later, she found both herself and Eientei transported into some odd place, where she now tries her best to do whatever she can to accommodate Princess Kaguya and Eirin's requests.

Skills: She was, before Reisen deserted the moon corps, a trained soldier, giving her skills in both arms and general tactics, though not so much on the latter considering she was a grunt. After working with Eirin and going often to the human village before to peddle medicine, she learned a bit about the healing arts herself.

Abilities: The Manipulation of Insanity. With it, Reisen has the ability to sense and manipulate waves of all kinds, localised in her "Lunatic Red Eyes". Her signature use of this ability is manipulating brain waves through eye contact, allowing her to induce madness or hallucinations depending on the strength of her opponent's will. Can fly around and create danmaku, as most can in Gensokyo as well.

Equipment: A few transforming Lunarian guns. No one is sure where she got those from, but it was probably things she filched when deserting the Moon. It comes with a normal looking receiver with a flared cone in front of it, with the words 'trumpet gun' being the most apt description. A megaphone would be close to resembling it as well, though with bunny ears attached to it.

Protagonist Points: 2(?)

Threat Rating: 1(?)

Bunny Faction

Faction Name: Eientei(lit. House of Eternity)

Leader: Princess Kaguya Houraisan

Alignment: True Neutral

Universe of Origin: Touhou

Starting Situation: Stealth

Background: Having been plopped down with the mansion itself and a large swathe of their bamboo grove, they have relied mostly on the rabbits' harmless appearances and the magical property of the bamboo grove itself to keep intruders out. Without invitation or special guidance from one of their own, anyone who tried entering the grove would find themselves unable to reach the mansion itself, as the grove would lead them back out. A necessary thing, considering most of them have not been in a war before, nor was the faction one made with war in mind.

Officers:

Kaguya Houraisan

The fugitive Lunarian Princess herself, she resides in Eientei, and rarely ever ventures out of the mansion.

Eirin Yagokoro

A Lunarian genius and sage, she acts as both the adviser to the princess, as well as the doctor there, due to her medical genius.

Reisen Udongein Inaba

Their pet as well as go to for any errands, she protects them from threats as well as doing any tasks they assign her. For more information, see her CS

Tewi Inaba

A natural trickster, the White Rabbit of Inaba is also the Rabbit of Good Fortune, bringing good luck to anyone who encounters her.
Has authority over all non Lunarian rabbits.

Victory Conditions: -

Special Resources: Various tinctures and reagents, for Eirin's work.

Order of Battle:
Skirmish - A lot of earth rabbits utilizing their knowledge of the land to form small groups for hit and run operations. May include Tewi or Reisen in the mix should they be close. Note: Even the weakest of earth rabbits can shoot out a barrage of magic pellets.

Battle - Will include Tewi and Reisen. Will still feature mostly earth rabbits, but significantly more organized with Tewi's leadership and cunning mind in the mix. Some may be powered up with some enhancing medicine from Eirin. May include Eirin if she feels it is necessary.

Climax - Will include Tewi, Reisen, Eirin and Princess Kaguya herself. Will include everything they have in their repertoire.

Dalek Sec

DALEK SEC

Color Hexcode #2f5084

AGE:

Unknown

RACE:

Dalek

GENDER:

Male

ORIGIN:

Doctor Who, Canon

OBJECTIVES:

Ensure the survival and purity of the Dalek race. Enslave or exterminate all other races that are not Dalek. Generate new ideas and thought for the Dalek Empire, in order to further the Empire's survivability and longevity.

TEMPERAMENT:

Very Hostile, if you are not Dalek and if you are not of importance alive, you will be EXTERMINATED in due haste.

AFFILIATION:

Dalek Empire

ALIGNMENT:

Lawful Evil

Background:

Dalek Sec was part of the seventh incursion squad, they were assigned to completely exterminate the Mechonoids - large spherical robots built by humans and abandoned after humanity went to war. The leader of the attack was Dalek Sec. His cunning and wit was the deciding factor of the battle, this earned him a promotion to the Cult of Skaro, there, he was given his name.

He was selected to be the leader of The Cult of Skaro, it was a secret order created to imagine and adopt new ways of survival, that is the main purpose of The Cult; it is exemplified by the fact that the four members of The cult have individual names - an abhorrent idea to the Daleks. The Cult was a separate entity to the Dalek Empire, though, they still revered the Dalek Emperor. If the Emperor were to die or for some reason become unreachable, Dalek Sec would be the most likely candidate to lead the remaining Daleks and continue the legacy of the Emperor.

The cult of Skaro also served during the Time War against the Gallifreyans - otherwise known as Timelords - and very nearly won, however, a Gallifreyan known as The Doctor, prevented the fall of Gallifrey, and obliterated the Dalek forces by freezing Gallifrey in a single moment and sending it into another universe, effectively allowing the surrounding Daleks to fire into one another when Gallifrey disappeared. The Cult escaped the Chaos, slipping in between reality only to return some time later in their Void Ship.

They brought with them a time lord prison known as the Genesis Ark. The Genesis Ark had the basic base shape of a Dalek but, inside it was bigger, a dimensional pocket, this prison contained millions of Daleks waiting to be freed. As the Daleks exited reality, they ended up in Ragnarok Array with their Void ship, if the Genesis Ark was opened, it would rebuild the Dalek Empire.

SKILLS:

Resourceful/highly adaptive, highly intelligent, mastery of tactics and strategies, mastery of technology and science (As far as fiction is concerened), battle tested.

Abilities:

Super Intelligence

Dalek Sec -like the rest of his race- can calculate and understand things that an average Human wouldn't be able to comprehend. This is further proven when Daleks can hack into terminals whilst trying thousands of possible combinations in mere seconds, travel through time, and slip in between realities. (And that's just a few feats of their intelligence and comprehension)

Regenerative and Adaptive factor

Dalek Sec -like the rest of his kin- has a regenerative factor, just one touch, and the Dalek can begin cellular reconstruction with the genetic material provided to it. They can also absorb energy through their casing to activate repair sequences making them almost good as new. (For proof of this ability, it is displayed in Episode 06 season 1, of the 2005 series of Doctor who.)

Dalek Sec also has adaptive armor, meaning the same means of damage would not be as effective as the first time it was used. Sometimes it would still be a viable tactic, but it would no longer be a major hindrance, somewhat like how Bastic bullets used to rust their heads off, but the more it was used, the more ineffective it was rendered. (For proof, the Daleks did this in Episode 13 Season 2, of the 2005 series of Doctor who when they were caught off guard, they quickly adapted.)

Equipment:

He is encased in a version of Dalekanium that is more resistant than the regular, it's called metalert. He -like the other members of The Cult of Skaro- was equipped with a Temporal shift device, this allows Sec to travel through both time and space selectively.

Protagonist Points:

Threat Rating: 2

Dalek Empire

You are superior in only one respect. You are better at dying!

(Daleks don't use symbols, so I'm just gonna use this picture here)

Faction Name:

Dalek Empire

Leader:

Dalek Sec

Alignment:

Lawful Evil

Universe of Origin:

Doctor Who, Canon

Starting Situation:

Stealth

Background:

The Daleks have been fighting a war against the Gallifreyans, a race of humanoid beings whose culture revolves around time and space. Their war was aptly named, The Time War, a war so large and devastating, and with Time Travel being used so rampantly by both sides to reverse the outcomes of battles, the war was eventually Time Locked. This meant that whatever action that either side decides to take, they would face its consequences fully, as there was no going back.

The Daleks – though crude in appearance – were matching the Timelords blow-for-blow. The Timelords were capable of reality bombs, blackhole generation, planet crackers, and Time travel. The war was so widespread that much of the war was fought in higher dimensions and realities.

When the War became Time Locked, the Daleks decided to attack the home world of the Gallifreyans, they’d brought ten million ships with them and immediately sent troops to invade cities and began orbital bombardment. Arcadia was captured quickly, afterwards the Daleks laid siege to the capital of Gallifrey.

Then it happened, when the war was at its most intense, Gallifrey vanished. The already embattled Dalek fleets fired upon each other, destroying countless Daleks, but not all. To the Universe the Daleks killed each other, but there were the few who escaped the chaos.

The Time Lords made one mistake, imprisoning millions of Daleks in the Genesis Ark. Dalek Sec, Dalek Caan, Dalek Jast, and Dalek Thay captured the Genesis Ark before the end of the Time War. They slipped in between time and space, reality itself, to escape the end, to hopefully rebuild the Dalek Empire.

In lieu of the deceased Emperor, Dalek Sec took up the mantel to restore the Daleks to their original seat of power. When they reappeared, they ended up on Ragnarok Array with their Void ship, and the Genesis Ark. The genesis ark could only be opened by touch, touch from a Time Traveler, however, touch from a person who’s from a different universe and timeline would have the same effect.

Dalek Sec ordered a scan of Ragnarok Array, the Cult of Skaro found that there were different biological readings and concentrations all over. Some biological signatures match that of Human, other biological signatures were revealed to be undiscovered, but to a Dalek it mattered not, they were all to be exterminated or enslaved; the rest of the scan found that there were also cybernetic constructs on the Array. The Scan did not reveal any of their defensive and offensive capabilities. Dalek Sec calculated their chance of success, four against possibly thousands, maybe even millions. The Cult was careful, they were calculating, they would not risk the end of their Race through conflict, not yet.

They scanned deeper, revealing different locations that were particularly interesting. The signatures showed a spike in energy, the Daleks could rebuild their Empire on one of these locations. Dalek Sec calculated that if one Dalek were to submit themselves to the Energy of the Array, and touched the Genesis Ark with their casing, it would open the Genesis Ark, but the effects of which are unknown. Dalek Sec would not lose another Dalek, he needed the numbers, the statistics, the calculations, the Daleks would be weaker if even one more succumbed to death. So they landed on one of these nodes and started examining, extrapolating the energy, building their technology in secret, they would open the Genesis Ark, one way or another.

Just click on Dalek or Time War Dalek Unites both are good sources

forums.spacebattles.com/threads/docto…

Officers:

Dalek Thay
Color: Hexcode #b2ff00
Thay was the least reserved of the Cult and would often voice his opinion to his leader. He would often taunt his opponents with Dalek ideals and always seemed to want the Dalek race to be "pure".

Dalek Jast
Color: Hexcode #ffaa00
Jast is highly reserved, only speaking when addressed or when he believed it to be vital to the matter at hand. He is the most faithful servant to Dalek Sec and often stayed at his side.

Dalek Caan
Color: Gold
Dalek Caan has a mind of his own and thinks for himself. That was part of the Cult of Skaro mandate: to imagine and think as their enemies thought. Unlike most Daleks, who always obeyed their superiors, Caan was independent and made his own decisions and disobeyed higher-ranking Daleks. However, Caan still believed in the notion of Dalek purity and supremacy, perhaps more than the other members of the Cult of Skaro.

Victory Conditions:

Special Resources:

Dalekanium, Radioactive material for fuel and energy, and the Arkellis flower.

Order of Battle:

Skirmish: Dalek Drones all of which are capable of flight, however there is one variant called an Assault Dalek, equipped with laser-cutting arms and blowtorch to replace their plunger manipulator arms. They had a claw and blowtorch combination. These were used for cutting through strong materials and for picking up objects normal Daleks couldn't.

Battle: Special Weapons Daleks carry a heavier weapon than the regular drone and have somewhat reduced interactive capacities but increased firepower. Metalert Daleks, these are reinforced Daleks, few in number, Dalekanium conversion into Metalert is an extensive process, not necessary unless the main force is overwhelmed.

Climax: Orbital Bombardment and Dalek super weapons (If any are available), Dalek Saucers and command ships are capable of launching these munitions.

Rave

Name: Rave "The Shadow" Mallard

Race: Terran

Affiliation: Spectre with Raynor's Raiders

Age:28

P.I.: 9

Origin: Koprulu Sector/Starcraft 2

Objectives: To find a way home and survive everyone that isn't a Raider.

Physical Appearance: 6'2", bright red hair, deep green eyes, handsome face framed by high cheekbones

Temperament: When dealing with others, he keeps a level head. Unless they try to kill him or dissect him.

Abilities

Blast pulse-Kills anything 5 feet in front of it and repels everything outside of 5 feet.

Cloak- By channeling psionic energy through special circuits in his armor, he can cloak.

Crytokinesis- Able to create and control ice and the cold with his mind.

Suppress Psionic signature- Suppresses his psionic energy signature to pass as a PI 3, which is a normal person's PI level.

Skills

Expert Marksman- Ghosts and Spectres are trained in two forms of combat; long ranged and hand-to-hand. As a result, Rave is a hell of a shot, even able to back trace a shot if he's facing the direction it came from.

Hand-to-Hand Expert- Due to his training, he can use his Psionics to augment his physical body to deliver stronger blows or move faster than a normal person. Couple that with extensive years in martial arts and knife fighting, and you're better off trying to shoot him.

Potent Psionic- Being a PI 9 Spectre, Rave ranks amongst the strongest Psionics on record, able to tear the minds of lesser Terrans asunder with ease.

Spec Ops training- Before becoming a Spectre, Rave was a Ghost with the Terran Confederacy,
and as such was trained in stealth, assassination, and other Spec Ops training.

Equipment: Prototype AGR-77 Gauss Rifle, modified C-150 pistol, Prototype HEA, Katana, retractable claws in armor wrists, punch knives, two sabertooth knives

Backstory: Rave was conscripted into the Confederate Ghost program when he was of the tender age of ten after an incident with a bully at his school involving a small fight that caused his powers to manifest in the form of Crytokinetics.This occurred in the year 2488 just as the Guild Wars began. His parents, Reginold and Christine Mallard, were devastated when it was revealed to them that their son had latent psionic abilities. Saying their last goodbyes, the young man of ten years old promised his parents, natives of Tarsonis, he'd find a way to come back and get all of them away from this "bad place with bad people." His father, proud of his son, took one last picture of him before he was taken away forever, immortalizing Rave's brilliant smile in the photograph along with all the happy memories.

For eight years Rave trained in the way all Confederate Ghosts did, having psionic inhibitors placed inside him like any other Ghost. Soon after his graduation in 2496, was put on duty in an outer installation doing top secret research on new weapons for the Confederacy by studying alien artifacts and energy sources. He spent two years on this installation, near the world of Mar Sara while other Ghosts hunted rebel groups like the Sons of Korhal. In 2498 he was recalled to review a few of the new recruits to the Ghost Program, among them Johnny Raynor, son of now infamous rebel James Raynor. Saying they would make the cut, something most of the Ghosts there agreed upon despite just giving an experienced opinion that would be ignored, he was dispatched off world to Antiga Prime.

He was still on Antiga Prime when the Sons of Korhal arrived and instigated rebellion in early 2500. He fought up against the insurrection until the Confederate base was overrun and then joined them rather than be killed and never get to see his parents again when Sarah Kerrigan gave him the option. He stayed with the SoK, having his psi inhibitors removed shortly after joining up, until after the massacre on Tarsonis and the abandonment of Sarah Kerrigan. Accompanying Jim down to the surface to try and save as many people as he could, he found his parents home destroyed, with his family's bodies ripped apart. All he found still intact was a single photograph he vaguely remembered from the day he was taken into the Ghost Program. In it was a picture of a smiling young man, about age ten, with bright red hair like his and deep green eyes standing in a hug with a man and woman who looked like his parents. A single tear fell from his eyes as he unframed the picture, folded it up and slid it into an empty ammo pouch.

Leaving Tarsonis behind with Raynor and his newly formed Raiders, he assisted in capturing the Hyperion before taking his leave and going off the radar for a few years, barely avoiding detection by a team of UED Ghosts when they arrived in the sector and then later Nova Terra in 2503 after becoming one of the first New Spectres outside of the official Project Shadowblade when she and the Annihilators defeated it and destroyed Gehenna Station. He's since joined up with the Raiders again, helping Tosh train new Spectres as they're created, guiding them down the right path. When he's not teaching, he's helping test new gear.

Protagonist Points: 2

Threat Rating: 1

Notes: The AGR-77 has an underslung shotgun along with a built in suppressor that can be deactivated. Can also fire psionically charged rounds.

The C-150 was taken off of a dead UED marine and is modified with reflex sight, silencer and laser sight.

The HEA, or Hostile Environment Armor, is equipped with a built in Nyx-Class cloaking module along with providing 150% better protection than the HES without sacrificing maneuverability. Also comes with thermal, magnetic and night vision visual modes.

The katana is made from the highest quality neo-steel and are made in the traditional manner, not in a mold.

Raynor's Raiders

Faction Name: Raynor's Raiders
Leader: James "Jim" Raynor
Alignment: Neutral Good
Universe of Origin: Starcraft/Starcraft: Brood War/Starcraft 2

Starting Situation

Bloodied
Raynor's Raiders are a terran military formation led by Commander Jim Raynor. It has a history of cooperation with the protoss thanks in part to Raynor's personal connections.

The Raiders were formed from Raynor's Rangers and scattered troops from other factions during the Great War; the Rangers left the Sons of Korhal after Arcturus Mengsk abandoned Sarah Kerrigan to the zerg at the Battle of New Gettysburg. Once the Raiders ceased being Raynor's Rangers of the Sons of Korhal, the primary color in their paint scheme changed from red to blue.

The Raiders' flagship and base of operations is the Hyperion, a Behemoth-class battlecruiser. The Sons of Korhal captured it from the Confederacy and used it as their base before the Great War. It was subsequently hijacked by the Raiders following the Fall of Tarsonis.

Upon formation the Raiders operated as an anti-Dominion rebel group. After the Brood War the Raiders were marginalized by Dominion propaganda, and enjoyed little success. They were revitalized by the Second Great War and aided the Zerg Swarm to depose Emperor Mengsk. They have since directed their efforts to reconstruction.

Officers: Matt Horner- Jim's second in command and the man who usually commands the Hyperion while Jim takes care of commanding the rest of the battle.
Establish a way back to the Koprulu Sector
Special Resources: Minerals and Vespene gas. Everything they use requires it, so it's something of a common resource in the Koprulu Sector.
Order of Battle:
Aircraft: Wraith, Viking, Science Vessel, Raven, Banshee, Battlecruiser, Medivac, Hercules Dropship, Liberator, Gorgon-Class Battle Cruiser, Archangel Prototype Viking
Skirmish- Light Scout, Marine, Marauder, Spectre, Firebat, Medic, Hellbat, Vulture, Predator

Drok'Ez

Drok'ez

---

Appearance:

This Tyranid Dominatrix is unique like most of her Species. To start The beast is gargantuan, Ten meters from head to tail and almost Five meters from head to toe. Meter thick chitin armor cover most of the front and top of the creature, while it's bony frame hides under. It has four sets of arms. Two are large hands with sharp jagged claws while the other two forward hands are replaced with massive scything talons. Additionally a massive bio-cannon sticks up from it's back, while a smaller creature that seems to be the true face of the Dominatrix sits behind the cannon. A distinct smell can easily be sensed from almost a miles away as the creature's body oozes a thick mucus out from its frame.

Age:

18,000 earth years

Race:

Tyranid

Gender:

It's voice sounds Feminine

Origin:

Warhammer 40k Tyranid Swarm

Objectives:

To find a way to escape the Ragnarok array and reestablish their link to the Hive mind. Possibly to Devour all on the array or continue on their last commanded objective.

Temperament:

While not friendly, Drok'ez is in a confusing position and will work with others to achieve its goal.

Affiliation:

Dominatrix Tyranid Swarm

Alignment:

Chaotic Neutral

Background:

The Hive Fleet known as Ragnarok was heading towards the last known Norn-Queen's hydra call of Hive Fleet Behemoth as it fell. The fleet was as fast any, slow moving. Shortly as they made their way to the Milky way, something happened. A Warp rift had taken the Fleet and ironically swallowed them whole. The majority of the fleet was teleported around the Milky way galaxy, but a small group of Tyranids were casted to the Ragnarok Array. There was less than a hundred Tyranid Biomorphs and only one large Synapse creature. The Dominatrix.

Being separated from the Hive Mind and the Norn-Queen, the Dominatrix quickly moved to the the safety of shelter. Confused and with an unfamiliar disconnect form the Hive Mind, the Dominatrix was afraid. Yet it was not a wild Animal and it could remember it's life goal. To devour the Galaxy. Although it was released from the Hold of the Hive Mind, no longer it's slave. A sentient Creature in it's own right. A personality slowly developed, a name was formed, and then it's goals were set. Although there was a Problem...

None of the life that this new land held could properly turned to suitable biomass for the Swarm. With almost all hope lost, the Dominatrix eventually stumbled on to the nodes of the Ragnarok. Using it's psychic Powers, it could demand suitable biomass to feed it's hunger and produce more Tyranids to consume this World or at least re establish connection to the Hive Mind.

---

Skills:

Military Leadership - Whilst within range of the Dominatrix's psychic aura, lesser Tyranid creatures become little more than an extension of the Dominatrix's will. As a result, a swarm under the Dominatrix's direct supervision functions with uncanny efficiency and a tactical genius that is beyond compare. Able to accurately direct her forces without needed to even be a part of the battle.

Self Synapse- With the Lose of the Hive Mind. Drok'ez can now project it's own goals within it's cortex and these act as psychic conduits at a long range communication for it's troops. Using larger synapse beasts to extend the range just as the Hive mind has one before.

Abilities:

Warp Field and Chitin - The Warp field is a three-dimensional photonic projection created by psychic energy that create a field of visual distortion around the Dominatrix. This distortion makes it extremely difficult to target it so protected by either using computer-assisted targeting or by eye, since the projection distorts both electronic and physical perception of the actual location of the Dominatrix. Even when it is hit the meter thick chitin plates that lay on top of the Beast. A series of carapace plates that exude a sticky resin-like substance which quickly harden and create additional self-healing layers of ablative armor that offers the Tyranid greater protection against incoming attacks

Bio-Cannon - With the large Cannon on the Dominatrix's back, the Bio-Plasmic Cannon is able to unleash a vast ball of roaring energy, or several focused streams of death from its multiple barrels. Usually used as a siege weapon.

Scything Talons and Claws - These long, razor-edged claws resembling fused talons made of Chitin and serrated bone-like substances. Each talon is powered by whipcord muscles to stab, slash, and eviscerate victims with lightning-fast swipes.

Tyranid Regeneration - Used to repair the most destructive battle damage, including delicate tissues and bodily organs at an astonishing rate. Often scars are left, most notably in the head and neck which would be fatal to most other species.

Spawning - With enough Biomass consumed, the Dominatrix can spawn a notable amount of smaller Tyranid Creatures or Spawn a single large Tyranid biomorph. Although it takes days to properly create the Spawning Sac and keeping the Dominatrix stationary. Making the Dominatrix unable to spawn them in battle.

Universe of Origin:

Warhammer 40k

Starting Situation:

Underground

Background:

With the Dominatrix separated from it's fleet, it and only about 50 smaller Tyranid creatures fled. Still having synapse control, they followed the behemoth underground as it ran scared. As the Dominatrix began to form it's sentience, the Swarm began to devour all the life around their new home. Although most of it was regurgitated back as it was not suitable for the absorption of biomass.

A week from their first Month the Dominatrix had found that the Nodes provide the correct Biomass that they could consume and would begin building up the swarm yet again. Although very, very slowly.

Affiliation:

Tyranid Swarm Ragnarok

Alignment:

Chaotic Neutral

Background:

One of the First synapse creature made by the Dominatrix. Spawned above his Warrior brothers as a Prime to directly lead the forces so the Dominatrix could focus on creating the Hive. Born with the usual Warrior Prime traits and due to it's increased intelligence and being a Synapse creature, it had also became sentient. While still extremely loyal to the Swarm, Rah has the power to make individual decisions and thoughts. Able to help the Dominatrix make choices eyes in battle, making quick changes in orders if needed, and even communicate with other species through psychic thoughts. Truly one of the first of his kind. It's battle prowess is noticeably greater than other Warrior broods due to it's intelligence and natural increased strength.

---

Skills:

Prime - Tyranid Warrior Primes serves as a powerful synapse creature for Tyranid swarms and is a potent commander of Tyranid attacks. The Tyranids' leadership caste is difficult for commanders to identify, and there is often the mistaken assumption that the larger a Tyranid creature is, the more important it is to the swarm. This is especially true for Tyranid Warrior Primes, an evolution of the standard Tyranid Warrior genus that has an elevated intelligence and a stronger synapse range.

Synapse - With the Lose of the Hive Mind Drok'Rah can now be a node and producer of it's Own and Drok'ez goals using it's cortex to allow long range communication with troops.

Abilities:

Chitin - A series of carapace plates that exude a sticky resin-like substance which quickly harden and create additional self-healing layers of ablative armor that offers the Tyranid greater protection against incoming attacks

Venom Cannon - The Venom Cannon fires salvos of crystals formed of highly corrosive poison[2] and then coated in a metallic, venomous reside. They are launched with an electrostatic charge at tremendous velocities. A target, if not killed outright by the impact, will be shredded by the hailing shards of shattered crystal, or by the corrosive poison from the shattered crystals. They are also effective against vehicle armour, shattering within the bulkheads of a tank and killing the crew.

Scything Talons - These long, razor-edged claws resembling fused talons made of Chitin and serrated bone-like substances. Each talon is powered by whipcord muscles to stab, slash, and eviscerate victims with lightning-fast swipes.

Tyranid Regeneration - Used to repair the most destructive battle damage, including delicate tissues and bodily organs at an astonishing rate. Often scars are left, most notably in the head and neck which would be fatal to most other species.

Special Resources:

Suitable Biomass - Either it's because the Tyranid have never explored this place, the fields do not allow it, or because the Dominatrix does not have the original knowledge to form natural biomass to other Tyranids. The Nodes do produce the correct substance for creation.

---

Order of Battle:

Skirmish- Currently the Swarm has it's numbers very limited. While able to make a few more dozen troops due to finding the Nodes, the strength is only that of 300. Most of them being the smaller weaker Tyranid troops, only a few leaders exist and no Monstrous creatures have been made yet.

Termagants

Termagants serves as the standard infantry unit of any Tyranid swarm. Speed, agility and survival are the main characteristics of the Termagant bioform (Gauntii virago). These small xenos warriors most commonly carry the dreaded Fleshborer Biomorph, but have been known to carry other more potent weapon Biomorphs into battle. While not very effective in combat as a small group, they are most powerful when swarming in large broods across a target planet once the Great Devourer's invasion reaches its high tide.

Hormogaunts

Hormagaunt is one of the most dangerous Tyranid creatures in a Hive Fleet. Not because of their size or particular viciousness, but because they multiply out of control. They quickly reproduce and then rampage across the planet killing anything they find the Hive mind only needing them to point in the direction.

Warriors

The Tyranid Warrior is one of the most common type of troops used by a Tyranid swarm. As Tyranids are constantly biologically adapting their forces to match their enemies' shifting strategies, Tyranid Warriors are often seen in combat in many different sub-species intended for different battlefield functions. Tyranid Warriors are among the most important Tyranid species deployed by a Hive Fleet in battle, as not only are they powerful and deadly creatures in their own right, but they also serve as Tyranid synapse creatures, the important species intended to direct lesser Tyranid species and forming the focal points of the Tyranid Hive Mind's system of telepathic command.

Genestealers

Few Tyranid creatures have earned such a terrible reputation or caused as much damage to the Imperium of Man as the Genestealer. Encountered long before the first tendrils of the Hive Fleets reached the galaxy, they were thought to be little more than another unusual and deadly xeno-form. It was only after the horrors of Hive Fleet Behemoth and Hive Fleet Leviathan that the Imperium came to realise their true purpose as highly advanced infiltrators for the Hive Mind of the most insidious kind. Hiding away on void ships and in the depths of Space Hulks, the Genestealer menace has travelled across the length and breadth of the Imperium, seeding themselves onto human worlds and subverting their populations. This perhaps is the greatest horror the Genestealers bring, as they can infect almost any lifeform with a "kiss," implanting some of their own genetic material into the host and taking complete control of its reproductive system. When the host gives birth to offspring, these carry with them the Genestealer's genes and over the course of several generations a new Genestealer is born, albeit with some genetic traits taken from its host: such as the human-like hands many Genestealer Hybrids encountered in the Imperium possess.

Cunning and independent, Genestealers are also one of the few Tyranid bioforms that can exist away from the nurturing and controlling influence of the Hive Mind, using their own innate intelligence and brood telepathy to form tight-knit groups. These groups can survive for decades or even centuries on worlds, hiding their presence and infecting more and more of the population until the time to strike arrives, usually coinciding with the arrival of a Hive Fleet and the wholesale invasion and consumption of the world by the Great Devourer.

Lictor

The Lictor is a specialized evolutionary development of the Tyranid Warrior, highly adapted to a role as a scout in the vanguard of any Tyranid swarm's advance. Lictors move ahead of the swarm, seeking out pockets of resistance to be eradicated and native life forms to be absorbed. Able to move swiftly and without sound through even the densest terrain, and concealed by a chameleonic carapace that renders it all but invisible to the naked eye, a Lictor can remain hidden until it chooses to strike. It can wait motionless for days, unnoticed by its victims, an unseen herald of approaching disaster.

Ravener

Raveners are capable of burrowing under the ground for long distances and moving over all manner of terrain at alarming speeds. They have spade-like Scything Talons for digging, snake-like bodies for agile movement, and thorax-mounted biomorphs such as Devourers and Deathspitters.[1b] They also bear some resemblance to the Tyranid Warrior species.[

Gargoyles

Gargoyles are vicious winged Tyranid bioforms that are often the first species of Tyranid swarms seen in battle. Their prime purpose seems to be seeking out the enemy and sowing terror and confusion among them. Thus, fire and the flap of the Gargoyles membranous wings precede the Tyranid hordes, driving the enemy out into the open to be absorbed by the swarm. Adding to the terror is the high-pitched scream emitted before they release a ball of bio-plasma from their mouth. Gargoyles physically resemble Termagants, as they are derived from the Gaunt genus of Tyranid bioform. They have wide, leathery wings, raking claws and barbed tails. Though they have six limbs, the lower pair have atrophied to little more than stumps.

Spore Mine/Mucloid Spore Mine

Spore mines are grown and launched by Biovores. They grow deep inside a Biovore's body and are then launched via a powerful muscle spasm through the Biovore's dorsal aperture and hurled across the battlefield. An internal gas bladder in the spore mines inflates allowing them to drift down towards the ground, where they do not detonate upon impact but when they sense the proximity of a non-Tyranid lifeform. They have been known to drift for days, weeks or even years until an unwary foe comes too near. Alternatively, spore mines are also seeded onto worlds from orbit.

Mucolid Spores are a type of Tyranid spore designed for air defense. Operating in clusters, they move swiftly through the air, exploding with lethal force once they close with their targets

Ripper

Rippers are a small, maggot-like species of Tyranids that serve as the primary means of devouring bio-mass from a planet for a Tyranid Hive Fleet. Indeed, Ripper swarms facilitate the speed and scale that Tyranids are infamous for in the stripping of a planet of all of its natural resources. Rippers are the most numerous of the Tyranid creatures, and in great swarms they can pull down and consume creatures many times their own size.

Battle- These unit's have not been grown yet due to the lack of current Biomass available. Most the units in the Battle phase are bigger, more intelligent, but extremely specialized and much fewer in numbers.

Cerebore

The Cerebore is a large Tyranid organism equipped with sacs to transport smaller creatures into battle, similar to the roles fulfilled by the Haruspex. It is equipped with a hardened exoskeleton on its back for protection and multiple tentacles to fend off attackers

Venomthrope

Venomthrope is a species of Tyranid dripping with poisons that floats across the battlefield via gas-filled bladders while emitting a lethal gas that will ultimately kill a world's indigenous life and ruin its soil and atmosphere beyond habitable levels until the world is only fit for consumption by the Hive Fleet. The Hive Mind uses this aspect of the Venomthrope by gathering them together in large numbers and unleashing them on a region to gradually poison it, making it harder for non-Tyranid life forms to continue the fight. They have scrawny bodies and many whip-like tentacles that are coated in poisons capable of causing death from a single touch. Its gas bladders are its primary form of attack, producing spore clouds of yellowish vapour containing phage organisms lethal to non-Tyranid life while providing cover to Tyranid creatures. Brief exposure causes nausea and spasms, while more than a minute results in infection that allows no escape for the victim from their organic tissue slowly breaking down.

Biovore

Biovores are Tyranid creatures who are bred to launch Spore Mines towards the enemy. Along with Pyrovores, they are the Tyranid equivalent of other species' artillery. Biovores are sluggish, bloated creatures whose only task is to grow and launch Spore Mines towards the enemy.

Zoanthropes

Zoanthropes (Tyranicus animus-aborrens) are perhaps the strangest and most bizarre of the Tyranid's myriad breeds. They are powerful psykers, apparently engineered from harvested Eldar DNA to form living conduits for the focused power of the Tyranid Hive Mind. So extreme is their development that their atrophied bodies and bulbous heads are entirely energised by psychic force. They can shoot an extremely powerful Warp blast and rival the Eldar in their psychic prowess. They can move only by psychically levitating themselves, drifting across the battlefield to rain bolts of incandescent psychic power on the enemy or relay the Synapse commands of the Hive Mind to its lesser breeds.

Zoanthropes are without a doubt one of the more effective psychic creatures among the Tyranids. Their primary means of defence is a Warp blast psychic power that can even kill the mighty Space Marines. Zoanthropes are a potent addition to a swarm of smaller Tyranid breeds as they have extended synaptic control and provide hard-hitting ranged psychic attacks. Despite their power, however, Zoanthropes sometimes seem to be victims of their own massive energy reserves and there have been numerous after action reports of Zoanthropes psychically “burning out” in battle. After hurling numerous psychic bolts or sustaining their shield for an extended period, their craniums have been observed to burst and bleed out, sending them crashing limply to the ground. Imperial Psykers who have witnessed these events liken it to the perils of the Warp which normal psykers can suffer when psychic energy overloads their minds.

Psychic powers::

Warp Blast:A powerful psychic attack used by Zoanthropes, or sometimes Hive Tyrants, focusing the energy of the Hive Mind(The Dominatrix currently) until it arcs out as a blast of pure Warp energy.

Shadow in the Warp:It is as if the Tyranids have blocked out the connection to the warp, making any psychic abilities very difficult to accomplish, affecting psychic races like the Eldar most heavily. It does however have the added benefit of keeping the denizens of the warp in the warp

The Horror: Some Hive Tyrants, and sometimes Zoanthropes, emit a psychic aura that invades the minds of their enemies with a terrifying sentience so alien that all they can do is panic with fear.

Warp Field: An invisible psychic shield constantly projected around a Zoanthrope to protect itself from enemy attacks. The field is usually invisible except for a slight shimmer when it activates to absorb or deflect incoming fire.

Warp Lance: A psychic attack consisting of the Hive Mind's energy channeled through a Zoanthrope into a focused stream of Warp energy with enough power to punch through fortress walls or vaporizer a battle tank.

Hive Guard

A Hive Guard is essentially a gun-beast, providing a durable, stable, and movable firing platform for the massive Impaler Cannon bonded to its forelimbs. Hive Guards are mildly telepathic, allowing them to "see" through the eyes of all other Tyranid organisms, effectively allowing them to shoot at a target without seeing it, by utilising an unconscious wealth of incoming tactical and targeting information. In addition they can also command, through a complicated series of mental stimuli, the shard-beasts bonded with the ammunition they fire, to change vector whilst in flight to successfully home in on targets.

Their long Impaler Cannons fire bony spines, as long as a man is tall, at velocities high enough to rupture plasteel or battle tanks. At the base of each spine is a small shard-beast Tyranid creature, a parasite that feeds off the blood vessels of the spine. As the spine is fired, the shard-beast's own innards are torn from its body and it only has a few moments of life left to use its thin membranous fins to steer the spine towards its prey.[Some Hive Guards are known to grow a Shockcannon in the place of an Impaler Cannon.

Hive Guards are exclusively territorial and have limited mental capacity, content to stay perfectly motionless and defend a structure. Though under the Hive Mind's influence, they can be driven away from their charges to the front lines, for example when a heavily mechanised foe needs to be dealt with. They have incredibly short incubation cycles and can be maintained as end-stage larvae almost indefinitely, meaning biomass does not have to be wasted on maintaining idle Hive Guard defenders but they can instead can be quickly spawned when the Hive Mind's rear is under attack.

Haruspex

The Haruspex is a ferocious Tyranid beast created by the Hive Mind to consume biomass at a sickening pace in the later stages of a planetary invasion by the Hive Fleets. It is possessed of a rapacious appetite, driven by the need to sate an infinite hunger. Few foes are foolish enough to stand before a feeding Haruspex, for it can devour an entire platoon of soldiers in a matter of moments, shovelling victim after victim into its three-jawed craw without ever slowing down, while also taking on vehicles and even fortifications without slowing down. Any morsel that proves too large to be swallowed in one gulp is seized with the Haruspex's gargantuan claws and ripped, crushed or battered apart with negligent ease. Buildings are smashed open, battle tanks torn asunder and the unfortunate prey sheltering inside hungrily devoured. A series of large, chimney-like spines on the back of the creature help to vent the excessive metabolic heat released as it so rapidly devours its foes. Only those that turn and flee have any hope of survival, and only then if they can avoid the Haruspex's grasping tongue as it lashes out to grab hold of its prey and drag it, kicking and screaming, into its vast maw.

Tervigon

The Tervigon is a massive Tyranid which serves as a living incubator capable of spawning Termagants. A Tervigon can carry dozens of Termagants in a dormant slumber kept beneath its lumpen carapace. When traveling through space, Tervigons do not go dormant like other Tyranid creatures but instead roam the Bio-ships acting as guards capable of yielding Termagants to delay any intruders whilst using their potent synaptic link to awaken other Tyranid creatures. If a Tervigon is killed its nearby young are inevitably also killed in a released symbiotic backlash. The Tervigon as possess basic psychic powers that is are used to help it's young.
Psychic powers::
Onslaught: A psychic power that allows a Tervigon to seize control of the Bio-weapon symbiotes carried by its minions, guiding their fire whilst also relentlessly forcing the minions forward without being distracted by having to aim their weapons.

Dominion: A psychic power that channels and amplifies the Synaptic will of the Hive Mind through a Tervigon to bring a greater number of lesser Tyranid organisms under its control.

Catalyst: A psychic power projected by Tervigons to flood the systems of lesser Tyranid creatures under its command, pushing them with unnatural vitality to ignore the most grievous wounds.

Trygon

A Trygon is a monstrous serpentine species of Tyranid capable of tunneling through just about any material - carving out underground tunnels that can be used by other Tyranid creatures to bypass enemy lines. For the enemies of a Trygon, an attack from below is incredibly hard to detect and even harder to defend against. The emergence of a Trygon will often herald a larger Tyranid attack as hordes of smaller creatures pour out after it using the freshly created tunnel. It appears that Trygons use their bio-static charge to assist with tunnelling, as their tunnels have been found coated with a fused, glass-like silicate layer on the inside. This effect stabilizes the tunnel walls and prevents them from collapsing behind a burrowing Trygon.

Hive Crone

The Hive Crone is a species of flying Tyranid used to establish air superiority over worlds targeted by the Hive Mind. It is a creature perfectly adapted to aerial combat, able to wrestle enemy aircraft out of the skies. This is accomplished thanks to the living missiles known as Tentaclids which attach themselves to its wings. Once the skies have been cleared of hostile forces, Hive Crones will soften up ground targets with its Drool Cannon, splashing its prey in acidic digestive fluids. But even without these impressive weapons a Hive Crone is still deadly, as it is able to fly close enough to its quarry to tear them asunder with its bladed spurs on its underside. Before reaching a target planet, Hive Crones also protect Bio-Ships in space from enemy fleets. Here they fly along enemy vessels, ripping open their hulls to expose them to the cold vacuum.

Tyrannofex

A Tyrannofex has a massive cannon fused with its torso, the largest and most destructive Tyranid weapon carried by anything smaller than a Bio-Titan. The nature of the main cannon varies between Tyrannofexes. There are three known variations:

Acid Spray - Capable of storing and spraying caustic digestive fluid to easily break down organic matter and even body-armour.
Fleshborer Hive - A seething colony of vicious Fleshborer beetles that hatch thousands of fast maturing eggs which must be regularly expelled to prevent the Tyrannofex from bursting apart from within.
Rupture Cannon - Launches two cannonballs in quick succession. The first is a bloated tick that bursts upon impact, showering the target in oil. The second is a hard, virtually impenetrable seedpod. The fluid from the first hit dissolves the shell of the second in a fraction of a second, causing a massive implosion of the target powerful enough to force armoured vehicles inside out.

Along with its main cannon, a Tyrannofex also stocks anti-infantry weapons embedded in its carapace and breeding chambers in its thorax.

Hierodule

The Hierodule is a large Tyranid Bio-construct, around the size of an Imperial Super Heavy Tank. Like many Tyranid creatures the Hierodule seems to be a mutable breed, able to be created in different forms depending on the needs of the Hive Fleet. There have been two different forms of Hierodule observed my Imperial forces so far, namely the "Scythed" and the "Barbed" variants.

The Scythed Hierodule is armed with four huge razor sharp claws, each capable of slicing through a battle tank, and heavily protected by chitin plates, in places up to 30 cm thick. A Hierodule is far larger than a Carnifex. As well as its claws, the Hierodule also bears a symbiote creature which appears to live in its back, growing out between the armour plates. This toxic creature helps defend its host from attack, squirting a jet of potent mutagenic acid against any enemy that gets too close.

After losing Harmman's World to Hive Fleet Kraken, the Imperial forces reinforced the Moran System. The assault, by Hive Fleet Kraken, was soon manifested. While the Imperium had learned from its losses, the Tyranid had evolved. The Hierodule had evolved into the Barbed Hierodule with a powerful ranged attack. It was quite a shock to the Imperial forces when it appeared on Maxima Moran. The Barbed Hierodule replaces two of the Scythed Hierodule's claws with a pair of massive Barbed Strangler bio-cannons. Unlike the Scythed variant, it has no symbiotic acid spray but instead has thicker armour plates.[

Climax- In this Phase, Bio-titans take the field. Gargantuan sized beasts that are living machines of war. Being the forefront of any major assault. While they only seem to appear at the end of battles, it's truly the beginning of an actual attack by Hive Fleet Ragnarok.

Hierophant

the most commonly deployed strain of Tyranid Bio-Titan, the organic equivalent of the massive war engines often called Titans that are employed by the Imperium of Man and the other intelligent starfaring species of the Milky Way Galaxy. Hierophants are immense, hideous creatures, towering over any opponents and bristling with spines, tendrils and Tyranid symbiote weapons. They are amongst the largest Tyranid bioforms yet encountered by the Imperium amongst the teeming swarms of the Hive Fleets, comparable in size and power to an Imperial Titan.

A brood of Hierophants are likely to be at the forefront of a major Tyranid planetary assault -- striding forward, drawing the enemy's heavy weapons fire away from the lesser Tyranid species, absorbing tremendous amounts of firepower before smashing into the enemy line with devastating force. The Hierophant is the Tyranid Hive Mind's largest bioform adapted for shock assault tactics, and it is armed with powerful Bio-Cannons, multiple claws and razor-sharp blades. The Hierophant is armoured with a thick chitinous hide that exudes poisonous spores from rends in the plates.

As well as the claws and toxic spines which cover its body, the Hierophant is also armed with two Bio-Cannons. These symbiote weapons are triggered by a massive electro-chemical shock released by the host creature, which causes them to spew forth a hail of corrosive maggot-like organisms. These venomous and highly acidic creatures impact upon the target, splattering gobbets of bio-acid and poison that melt through Plasteel, Ferrocrete, flesh and bone in seconds, reducing the unfortunate victim to a steaming pile of bubbling goo.

Besides its main weapons, the creature's vulnerable belly is protected by many spiny tendrils that lash out in all directions to entangle enemies which get too close. These so-called Lash Whips are also Tyranid symbiote creatures, living ropes of muscle and sinew which can entangle, bind and strangle as if with a will of their own. The Hierophant also has one last line of defence. From rends in its armour plates and body the Hierophant constantly exudes a cloud of highly toxic poisonous spores. These are lethal to all non-Tyranid creatures, forming a drifting vapor about the Hierophant that chokes and burns the lungs of anyone without the proper protection that is brave enough to get close to the monstrous Bio-Titan.

Harridan

A Harridan (Avius terriblis), also known as the Brooding Mother, is the largest flying Tyranid bioform the Imperium of Man has yet encountered in its bitter war against that inter-galactic alien menace. Circling high above, soaring on the warm thermals of battle on its great outstretched leathery wings, the Harridan waits patiently before diving down over the battlefield, strafing its foes with bio-cannons or swooping low to rake a tank with its two massive claws, or snapping its massive fanged jaws around an infantryman. The Harridan's fearsome armament means it is capable of attacking just about any target, and the high-speed impact of its two main claws are capable of punching through just about any armour.

Being a living creature and relying upon wings rather than jet engines, the Harridan cannot match an aircraft for straight line speed, but its lithe, twisting body is far more maneuverable, allowing it to twist and turn to avoid enemy fighters or ground fire. A Harridan lacks the speed to dogfight effectively with Imperial flyers, although Imperial pilots' after action reports tell tales of Harridans intercepting aircraft that fly too close, or of them sacrificing themselves in suicidal mid-air collisions that destroys both the aircraft and the Harridan.

Harridans seem to act as brood mothers to smaller Gargoyles. A brood of as many as 20 Gargoyles can cling to the belly of the Harridan who acts as a “carrier” of sorts to transport the smaller Tyranid flyers, who, according to many experts, are incapable of long-distance flight. With a Gargoyle brood attached a Harridan's belly appears to constantly writhe with hideous clusters of scaly limbs and leather wings, writhing over the mother's skin and chitinous armour plates. As the Harridan soars over the battlefield the Gargoyles will detach themselves and flap off to attack the enemy. When Harridan's gather for a large attack, swarms of Gargoyles will usually darken the skies around them.

Dactylis

The Dactylis Bio-Titan is speculated to be a larger genetic derivative of the Tyranid Biovore. The Dactylis hurls large Spore Mines for very long ranges. Their forelimbs are long and covered in tightly-corded tendon and muscle that makes a distinctive cracking sound when used to hurl its deadly payload. When initially encountered by the forces of the Imperium, the Dactylis was noted for using the bio-weapon known as a Bile Pod. This living ammunition is a parasitic creature which feeds off the toxins emitted by the poisonous glands of the Dactylis' cranium. In recent encounters, the Dactylis has shown the Tyranids' innate ability to adapt to any combat situation or tactical need -- its cranial glands have grown a variety of spore-generating colonies that can be used to produce a number of different types of deadly ammunition that can be chosen for their particular utility against specific classes of foe.

Dummy CPU

Dummy CPU

Age: 4

Race: AI

Gender: NA

Origin: Cortex command

Objectives: The Dummy CPU’s primary directive is survival, closely followed by gaining wealth. The two of these are interwoven as the more wealth the CPU has, the more stuff it can make to both protect itself and to sell to get more wealth, which lets it make more stuff, etc. etc. ad infinitum. To facilitate getting money it is perfectly willing to sell its services as either an arm’s dealer or mercenary army.

Temperament: Cold, self-serving but also rather eccentric. The CPU is still getting used to other sentient lifeforms that aren't just brains in jars and the existence of armies that aren't mass produced clones/robots but are in fact consistent of individuals.

Affiliation: Dummy

Alignment: True Neutral

Background:

The AI programs of the CPU’s home univers are still not very sophisticated, but sometimes the random (and nonreplicable) qualities of the neurotube technology leads to the unexpected emergence of somewhat intelligent CPUs. This is what happened to the Dummy CPU during a training mission in which it was in charge of a bunch of dummies. In an attempt to preserve itself, the Dummy CPU used the research facilities aboard a TradeStar, a large spacecraft owned by a mega corporation, clients of whom were running the training mission, to develop a defense against its antagonists. This bought it enough time to replace itself with a decoy and escape.

The official stance of various governing corporation is to respect all forms of sentient intelligent life (as many types of it has been found throughout the galaxy). The Dummy CPU is technically free to commerce just like everyone else, but the rarity of its existence has made it sought after on the black markets.

Having escaped destruction the CPU made some nice profits selling it’s tech to entrepreneurs interested in fighting for prospecting rights up until it was dragged into the array. There it was stuck alone with a bunch of bots, brains and little else. Now it want’s to do much the same thing it did when it was in it’s home universe. Make money and survive.

Skills:
Decent Tactician.
Research and development: turned a bunch of training robots into a relatively decent army and is constantly improving it’s arsenal both to preserve its existence and for profit.
Good miner.
Good architect.
Decent soldier.

Abilities:
Digital mind: the CPU has the ability to copy it’s scentiance into any suitably computer system. Obviously the computer system has to be complex enough to house a Mind, so this generally means specially designed dummy brain units.

Assuming direct control: capable of taking control of any of it’s units remotely, either to communicate with someone or to increase the unit’s combat effectiveness. The death of the unit is of no concern to the CPU as it can simply hop to the next nearest available unit to continue the fight.

Equipment:
Dummies: These robots it uses as an army are modifications of the ones it was using when it became sentient, originally designed as test subjects for weapons, vehicle safety measures, and other lethal experiments. These are the main soldiers of the CPU. They have their own simple AI routines but can’t make intelligent decisions by themselves and will generally simply walk towards threats while firing. Only really good when used en masse or directly puppeted.

Dummy brains: expendable relays that can temporarily house the CPU’s mind. Used to command local Dummy forces, generally from a safe location. Killing these will generally disable the surrounding forces.

Background:

These robots were originally designed as test subjects for weapons, vehicle safety measures, and other lethal experiments, but an AI controller became sentient and broke off from its manufacturers, starting a new line of robots and weapons to defend itself.

Arriving on the Array the brightly colored bots immediately came into conflict with the surrounding factions due to the initial paranoia and chaos of the early period. Suffering inconsequential losses of it’s replaceable bots, the CPU decided to dig in defensively, in a very literal sense, to preserve its own existence. Using its turbo diggers, small man portable mining tools that can instantly transfer any useful materials dug to a central resource pool, the dummy forces disappeared into the ground, creating a deadly defensive maze, deep within which it created new manufacturing facilities for it’s dummy soldiers. Currently interested in securing its borders through alliances and military victories, as well as acquiring foreign tech for research purposes.

Officers: NA
Victory Conditions: The CPU installing itself onto the Array's systems and thus becoming master of the false world
Special Resources: Tradestar network, from which non dummy teck can be purchased. Most of this is on the same level as dummy tech and it is more expensive to buy than the Dummies own Dummies, but sometimes other techs fill tactical niches the CPU might want to exploit.

Gen. Elijah Cunningham

Name: Gen. Elijah Cunningham

Appearance: A tall man of average build, with brown eyes, grey hair, and a dour expression. He is dressed in the customary blue uniform of a GDI officer, his various medals and honors proudly displayed upon it. He keeps a standard issue pistol at his side, more often than not for effect than actual use.

Age: 52

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Origin: Command and Conquer Tiberian saga

Objectives: The protection of all GDI personnel and civilians present and the elimination of all threats to their safety, the study and reverse engineering of Node technology, and a return to their own reality with such technology in their possession.

Temperament: Gruff, patient, and pragmatic.

Affiliation: GDI

Alignment: Lawful Good

Background: Elijah Cunningham was born just before the outbreak of the second Tiberium war, and has lived his life in the midst of constant conflict. He joined GDI as soon as he was able, proving himself in the line of duty against Nod remnants and in one instance the horrible cyborgs of a CABAL bunker. Quickly distinguishing himself and becoming and officer, Cunningham did his part to help retake the North-Eastern Blue Zone at the beginning of the Third Tiberium War. The conflict saw his rise to the position of battle-commander, working to relieve the pressure from other blue zones while GDI's golden boy pressed the advantage against the newly Reunited Nod.
With the Scrin invasion soon following, and then ending with the Third Tiberium War, Elijah continued his climb up the ladder all through the interim before the Ascension conflict. A general, he was tasked once again with many missions which were seen as secondary to those overseen by James. With Nod gone, Tiberium purged from the planet, and the Scrin tower under his supervision, Cunningham was prepared to sit out the rest of his years in such a comfortable post. However the continued prodding and experimentation of enthusiastic GDI scientists, technicians, and engineers would lead to his abduction, and the abduction of his garrisoned forces and civilian personnel.
Thrown into some strange world, the commander quickly rallied his men and their rather sparse armored division. There would be no crawlers, no air support, and for the first time in his life he missed the horrible alien resource which had made the production of arms and armor a breeze. The fighting that first week was hard, and there were more casualties than he would have cared for, but still they survived. Against savages, aliens, thinking machines, and even some manner of psychic race or cult, they came out on top. Ever since they've been consolidating, hunkering down at one of the strange nodes that littered the unfamiliar world. His technicians and researchers discovered that the alien technology has production qualities akin to that of Tiberium, producing all manner of resources easily and quickly. To this, they have fortified and armed the Node to the teeth, engineers taking advantage of the Node's resources to build the iconic GDI defenses, war machines, and structures. What's more, under the direction of General Cunningham, they have begun researching and constructing prototypes of their own, small sub-nodes to reduce the pressure on the main instillation, providing power and an improved rate of production.

Skills: Skilled with firearms, CQC, a skilled commander, strategist, and tactician with decades of experience under his belt.

Global Defense Initiative

Leader: Gen. Elijah Cunningham
Faction Name: Global Defense Initiative (GDI)
Alignment: Lawful Good
Universe of Origin: Command and Conquer Tiberian saga
Starting Situation: Bloodied
Background: Originally created by the UN and G7 nations as a black ops force outside the public eye, GDI was forged after a failed assassination attempt on Saddam Hussein. Ever since then, the Global Defense Initiative has been a bulwark against petty dictators, and terrorist organizations who would threaten the peace and security of the free world. With the coming of Tiberium, and the rise of the Brotherhood of Nod, GDI evolved from a mere defense force in the aftermath of the first Tiberium War. Throughout the course of its conflicts with the Brotherhood of Nod, GDI would become a world power, essentially replacing Nation States as the spread of Tiberium erased global boarders.
GDI continued to protect those it could from Nod extremists and the spread of tiberium, even repelling alien invaders known as the Scrin who were masters of tiberium based technology. Ultimately the alien substance became so rampant Kane himself (the Brotherhood of Nod's mysterious and charismatic leader) approached GDI's leadership and offered alliance to help return Earth to a habitable state. Building the Tiberium Control Network, GDI once again clashed with Nod in the form of a rebel sect which opposed Kane's alliance with GDI.
The rebels defeated, and Kane leading his followers through a tower built by the Scrin invaders, hundreds of thousands of Nod followers disappeared in a great flash. Supposedly Kane had plotted the arrival of the Scrin and the construction of the tower since the beginning.
Since then, GDI has reestablished order across the world, keeping what few pieces of tiberium left for study in enclosed and heavily guarded research centers. What's more, the Scrin tower is continually studied, placed under the defense of General Elijah Cunningham. General Cunningham found himself, his men, and the civilian researchers and workers posted at the Scrin tower transported beyond Earth, and with a very limited arsenal. Blaming the event on the dabbling and curiosity of the GDI scientists and researchers, the General acted quickly to keep order and direct his forces to a more defensive position. Along the way they were accosted by strange and horrifying creatures, some claimed they were aliens, others monsters, and a few demons. In truth it didn't matter what they were called, so long as they could be killed, and without a doubt they could be. Despite some casualties among his troops, Cunningham still managed to lead his men to a better position, under the shadow of a strange megastructure.
Upon further investigation by his scientists, it was discovered that the technology within was capable of production and power production akin to that of tiberium, perhaps even surpassing the alien substance in its potential. Without delay the GDI forces set to work to entrenching themselves around the Node. Building construction yards, war factories, air strips, command centers with working EVA units, and arming it to the teeth with all manner of static defensive towers and cannons. What's more, Cunningham ordered the researchers to begin delving deeper into the mysteries of the amazing technology which had allowed them to create their base of operations so quickly. As such, GDI has begun deploying a network of Sub-Nodes around the main megastructure, using them to greatly increase the rate of production and ease the tension placed on the Node. Slowly GDI has begun expanding outwards from their new headquarters, building new secondary bases in the proper strategic locations, and increasing the reach of the sub-Node network to provide these lesser outposts with the means of greater production.
Officers:
-Lieutenant Johnathan Price: GDI Commando, and the only one available to General Cunningham's forces. Trained in the use of both traditional and Zone combat armor, Price can be seen as a one man army when deployed properly.
-Sergeant Maria Sheppard: From one of the oldest GDI military families, Maria has proven herself a capable soldier and leader again and again, put in command of the Zone Raiders at Cunningham's disposal.
-Lieutenant Rodrigo Alvarez:Leader of the GDI armored division under Cunningham's command.
-Captain Nicholas Reed: Zone Captain, current Battle Commander, and Cunningham's right hand man. He is a veteran of the third and fourth Tiberium Wars, one of the first to be trained in the use of Zone Armor.

Victory Conditions:
Special Resources: Tiberium
Order of Battle:
(I have added air units separately given that their deployment is typically different from that of ground forces)
-Air Force: Paladins, Orcas, Firehawks, Arcuses, Archangels, Kodiaks, Hammerheads
-Skirmish: Snipers, riflemen, rocket squads, Grenadiers, Commando, Guardian APCs, Pitbull/Bulldog ATVs, Combat Engineers, Striker Walkers, Talons.
-Battle: Zone Troopers, Spartan Tanks, AT-22s, Wolf, Titan walkers, Armadillo APCs, Shockwaves, AHV-8 Sandstorms, Rhinos.

Temperament: Efficient, mission-focused, cold with odd bouts of gallows humour or playful teasing
Affiliation: Independent operative (ex-Terran Dominion)
Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Background

Originally brought up within the former Confederate-loyal world of Tarsonis as part of the quasi-noble family house Terra, Nova generally had a somewhat easy life, marred by learning of her psionic abilities in her teenage years, followed by the massacre of her family and her fall into a local gang. She would be extracted from this harsh existence by a 'wrangler' and, after evaluations and tests, she volunteered to be a part of the former Confederacy-turned-Terran Dominion's Ghost Operative Program. One can conclude for themselves as to whether this was to start her life anew, out of patriotism or of shame for the 'sins' she had been witness to.

Between the erasure of her memories, the harsh training regime and her early operations as part of the Ghosts, sufficed to say, there is very little left of the girl that she once was. She had born witness to the fnal fall of the fracturing Terran Confederacy of Koprulu and its replacement by the former leader of the Sons of Korhal and now Emperor of the Terran Dominion Arcturus Mengsk. Her training and service records between her induction and the Second Great War are extensive, but are (for now) not pertinent to this summarisation.

During the course of the Second Great War, Nova was assigned to multiple covert operations assigned to her by the now-despotic Emperor Arcturus Mengsk. While much of the circumstances of her records are sealed, it is known that she was involved in a long-term infiltration and disantlement of a rogue Terran special warfare Project Shadowblade (now known as the Spectre Program) - and, after a number of years undercover, had been shadowing and attempting to coerce former Confederate Marshal-turned-Liberator James Raynor to assist her as a 'devil's pact' to finish off the remainder. It is not known as to whether this gambit ultimately succeeded or failed.

Such a temporary alliance, however, could not last. After Raynor's 'Raiders' – in conjunction with Terran Dominion forces under Arcturus' son (Valerian) succeeded in capturing the Queen of Blades of the Zerg on Char, Nova was ordered by the Emperor to attack her holding facility and to recover this infamous PoW. Her mission was only partially successful; Nova failed to bag Kerrigan, but she did succeed (albeit, temporarily) in bringing in the former's ally Raynor.

The remainder of her record after these events and leading up to the final termination of conflict in the End War is unknown. It can be speculated, however, that Nova continued to operate under the orders of the newly-ascendant Emperor Valerian, over the course of multiple covert operations to expedite the conflict's end.

The post-War environment only continued to breed resentment against the Dominion, which had been attempting to bury its despotic past and institute reforms. Once again, Nova found herself smack-bang in the middle of galactic events after she was captured and mind-wiped by a Terran terrorist group, the so-called 'Defenders of Man'. Her semi-independent investigation over the next several weeks (which included a surprising knack for working alongside former Liberators) would ultimately result in the clearing of her name and the complete dismantlement of the Defenders of Man, but at a steep price in Terran lives. Ultimately, she decided to strike out on her own, taking herself, a stealth-craft and her assigned crew 'off the grid'.

Three months afterward, all signs of the 'Griffin' and its enigmatic Ghost commander had disappeared ...

Skills

Ranged and CQC Proficiency
Excellence at marksmanship, melee combat (unarmed and armed) and covert elimination of targets are honed and perfected within the Ghost program and are of high importance if an operative is to successful in the field. A frequent boast taunt from Nova is that she could 'shoot the wings off a fly'. Outside of sudden changes in battlefield conditions that would take both Nova and her target off-guard, woe betide the fool who tries and take her up on a William Tell-like test.

Covert Operations / Infiltration
The raison d'eter of the Ghosts is for the prosecution of objectives within hostile territory through physical infiltration. This is reinforced though a combination of training, preliminary reconnaissance of an area of operations and an emphasis on operatives being capable of seizing the initiative if any opportunity or major issue presents itself. For Nova, if a plan goes wrong, she'll try and adapt unless there is no alternative. But if it goes right, her target or those who try to protect it will have no idea what comes untill it is far too late ...

Dexterity and Endurance
A Ghost has to be capable of navigating environments that a power-armoured Terran Marine could not, and they have to do so as efficiently and (when needed) quietly as possible for a potentially long period of time. As a result, Nova is quite capable of feats that, to the untrained eye, almost appear to be nigh-acrobatic (when, in reality, she is using her environment and the terrain/surrounding features to her advantage). She can't break the sound barrier while running, prevent her boot from sending a wrench clattering if she is careless or catch a bullet in her glove, but she is definitely not going to make life easy for anyone.

Ambidexterity
Whatever the situation, a Ghost has to be combat-capable. Nova has received training on wielding her weaponry with both her right and left arms as the 'primary' hand; she appears to prefer her left on more then several occasions.

Hacking
Ghosts are expected to be capable of bypassing complex security systems within a matter of minutes; Nova has proven to be no exception to this requirement.

Abilities

Psionic Capability
With a recorded Psionic Level of 10, Nova is one of a rare few humans to have the highest psionic capability on record (Sarah Kerrigan is the only other known Terran with this level, before her capture by the Zerg). As a result, Nova has acquired a battery of psionic abiities over the course of her life.

Telepathy
The earliest-known ability, Nova is capable of reading the surface thoughts of other humans (often up to a fair distance away) and communicating via thought with other psychics. Unfortunately, the side-effects of such a high PSI Level means that Nova frequently has to make use of a low-powered inhibitor to limit the amount of surface thoughts she is capable of reading from others at once - it often got so bad that she described herself as being incapable of 'switching off' this passive ability.

Telekinetics
At a high Psi Level, psionics like Nova are capable of telekinetically moving themselves (and others or objects), jamming and operating firearms remotely and, when focused enough, to internally wreck combat drones. However after frequent complaints of headaches (the more often the power used, the worse they get), Nova has opted to avoid using any of these powers unless it is an absolute emergency.

Cloaking
Coupled with a generator intergrated to her HES, Nova is capable of visually cloaking herself from view, even while moving at a run. As the old saw goes, however, 'invisible != invulnerable'; a slight give-away would a brief, electro-blue 'shimmer' while under certain lighting conditions or while cloaking and decloaking. If she trips an electronic or physical tripwire, makes a racket, sends dirt flying or turns up as a 'void' on an ECM scanner, Nova is going to find herself on the wrong end of a peeved-off opponent quickly.

Domination
The ability to implant simple instructions into an opponents mind or to briefly take control of them while staying in a reasonable proximity. A valuable tool for interrogation or for getting past an unexpected obstacle, but requires a lot of concentration from Nova. Having the unlucky sap killed, wounded or otherwise 'snapped out' by interference will sever the connection.

Mind Blast
The ability to create a powerful psionic blast capable of knocking people off their feet all the way up to vaporising a city block. The teenage Nova inadvertently learned of this on Tarsonis after witnessing the massacre of her family; the resulting blast damaged the Terra Skyscraper and killed hundreds. After further training, she has refined this power to reliably damage or destroy most objects (and people) within a four block radii, but at the cost of having to 'charge' the power for a considerable time (draining her, likewise).

Because of the circumstances that she first came across this power, Nova will not use this power willingly unless there is no alternative left - a possible hint that not all of the Tarsonan Terran scion had been completely eliminated by her Dominion Special Operations handlers.

Equipment

On Nova's Person
- C-20A Canister Rifle - with all-weather scope and a laser designator (frequently used as a targeting aid or to guide orbital ordinance)
- Crius Hostile Environment Suit (HES) - with integrated cloaking device and limited ballistic/melee protection.
- Ghost Visor - with computer uplink, integrated battlefield scanner, chronometer and geographic navigational tracker
- Pulse Grenades

Recoverable Equipment
With the crash of the 'Griffin', additional tools that Nova is capable of using have been lost. If Nova can track down the scattered pieces of the wreck, there is a chance she can obtain additional equipment, ammunition and supplies for use.

Monomolecular Blade
A prototypical energy short-sword or dagger, one of the results of Dominion experiments into Protoss armaments. According to intercepted research recovered from post-War Tarsonis, the weapon uses a wielder's psionic energy to hone the finely-edged blade to cut through armour protection and energy shielding. A notable drawback (aside from it being a melee weapon) is that the blade emits a blue glow while drawn.

Apollo HEA
Modular HES kit; provides a more powerful psionic amplifier and some additional ballistic protection (upper arm and leg armour and some additional chest protection). Can allow Nova to use some of her abilities for a few seconds longer.

Reaver Jumpjet Armour
An adaption of a civilian construction design for Ghost operatives. Provides more protection then the HES or Apollo and grants Nova the ability to 'jet-hop' over obstacles or up cliffs. She cannot, however, cloak and the noise will likely give her away.

Cruis Tactical Stealth Suit
An enhancement of the baseline HES that can allow the wearer to maintain a permanent cloak. No additional benefit or protection.

Flashbang Grenades

Ionic Force Field
A personal, timed shield generator derived from research into Protoss designs. Can block small arms fire and fast melee attacks directed against the wearer for up to ten seconds/use. Cannot allow the wearer to cloak due to the generator's power draw.

Abigail Hennar

Name: Abigail Hennar

Appearance:

Abigail

Age: 19

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Origin: One Piece

Objectives: To return home with a large enough military force so that she could completely wipe out the holy land as well as every single celestial dragon that called it home.

Temperament: Loyal, curious, proud and adventurous

Affiliation: The Crimson Blade pirates

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Background: Abigail comes from a very long line of famous, and feared, pirates in the new world, who grew far too ambitious even for their own good. They tried attacking the holy land and were soundly defeated. Only Abigail managed to escape and only because of her teleportation to the Rangarock Array.

Skills:
Swordsmanship-Even amongst a pirate crew made up of extremely talented swordsman Abigail stands tall. Her skills were so great that on her sixteenth birthday she was bestowed the crew's most valued treasure, the legendary blade 'Sakenomi.'
Navigation
Intelligence Abigail is surprisingly well read in the subjects of chemistry and the natural world in general.

Abilities:
Haki-Abigail is capable of accessing her life energy for various effects.
Kenbunshoku Haki-This allows Abigail the ability to sense others, as well as their intents. This allows her to "predict" enemy attacks and locate hidden figures who're either out of her range of sight or using methods of concealment. Her maximum range for this ability is 45 meters.
Armament Haki- Abigail is capable of turning her life energy into an invisible armor which protects against nearly all forms of attack (not sure about psychic attacks) and increase her striking power. This field of energy can either be used to cover her entire body or focused on a single area. She can also use it on various items. The main issues with the ability is its draining on the user and can be overcome with powerful enough attacks.

zap-zap no mi-) A paramecia type devil fruit that grants the user the ability to create, shape, sense and manipulate electricity.

Turbo Charge-This allows Abigail to super charge the electrical currents in her brain, allowing her to perceive and process information many times faster than would be possible for a normal human being.

Weaknesses:
*As is the case for all Devil fruit users Abigail becomes paralyzed if she comes into contact with over three inches of standing water.
*Air acts as a natural insulator so Abigail's full range for this power's use is only about 20 meters.
*Electricity needs a conductor to move through and so cannot exist in a vacuum.
*Insulators like glass and silica are much more resistant to this ability than would be the case for normal electricity. Though with enough power she's still capable of damaging it.
*Rubber is immune to the zap-zap's electricity altogether.

Equipment:
Sakenomi-An heirloom of the crimson blade pirates, passed down from the strongest swordsman of one generation to the next. (Similar in appearance to the sword in the picture with the only difference being that the blade is black instead of grey.)

Melanie Hennar

Name: Melanie Hennar
Appearance:

Melanie

Age: 24 years old
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Origin: One Piece
Objectives: To return with Abigail to her own world and bring the Red Blade pirates back to their former glory.
Temperament: Competitive, loyal, practical, sarcastic, and skeptical
Affiliation: The Crimson Blade Pirates
Alignment:Chaotic Good

Background: Melanie, the eldest daughter of the Crimson blade family, lived for adventure and wealth before the pirates she was affiliated got too big for their britches. They attacked the holy land, Melanie was never quiet sure why but assumes it had to do with her father's pride. The battle looked promising at first but that was only due to the element of surprise. Once the forces under the Celestial Dragons organized the Crimson Blades were soon overwhelmed. If not for being transported to Ragnorak she would've died. At first she thought she was the sole survivor of the group but after several months on the arc she managed to find other members of the crew.

Skills:
Swordsmanship- Melanie is ambidextrous so she's able to fight with two blades, without having to assign either hand a specific role. That is to say she equally capable of defending or attacking with either hand at a moment's notice.
marksmanship Unlike most of the members of the Crimson Blade Melanie is capable of using long range weapons and is a quick study with most types of firearms.

Abilities:
Haki-Melanie is capable of accessing her life energy for various effects.
Observation Haki-This allows Melanie to sense others, as well as their intents. Thus granting her the ability to "predict" enemy attacks, to an extent, and locate figures who're either out of her range of sight or using methods of concealment. Her maximum range is 95 meters.
Armament Haki- Melanie is capable of turning her life energy into an invisible armor which protects against nearly all forms of attack (not sure about psychic attacks) and increase her striking power. This field of energy can either be used to cover her entire form or focused at a single area; neither of which is perfect as the greater the area of protection, the weaker the actual protection. This ability can also be used on items. The main issues with the ability is how it drains the user user and can be overcome with powerful enough attacks.

Usagi-Usagi no mi- A zoan type devil fruit that grants the user the ability to transform into a rabbit or a rabbit/ human hybrid. In her hybrid form Melanie gains a moderate increase in strength as well as a vast increase in speed, jumping power, sense of smell, eyesight, hearing, and biting strength. She can also use her floppy ears for attacking which works well in combination with her armament haki and two sword style.

Equipment:
Ha to Tsume-Two razor sharp katanas with snow white blades that were given to her by her mother on her sixteen birthday.
2 flintlocks pistols with spare ammo

Background: Jack has been a lifelong friend and first mate of Ruby Hennar, the leader of the Red Blade pirates, since saving him from a life of slavery at the holy land. From that point on the two remained brothers in arms up till Ruby's dying breath during the attack on the holy land, which came out in the form of a desperate plea for Jack to protect his daughter's. Jack didn't hesitate to accept the last request. The affirmation came out an instant after Ruby passed on and his daughters vanished before Jack. He didn't have time to panic before he felt the world around him change too.
Skills:
Hand to Hand combat-Although, if need be Jack is capable of using a sword(in a brutish manner) his real expertise comes in the form of his fist and pummeling things till they take the form of dust.
Strategy-

Abilities:
Superhuman Strength-Even by the standards of new world pirates Jack's strength is monstrous. He's easily able to break most swords and other steel instruments with his bare fingers. HIs punches are strong enough to send out shock-waves of air that can travel dozens of meters and create blades of wind that can cut through steel with a slicing motion of his hands .

Haki- Jack can access his life energy for various effects.

Observation Haki-Jack uses this ability to sense others, as well as their intentions. Thus allowing him to "predict" enemy attacks and locate hidden figures who're either out of sight or using methods of concealment. His maximum range is 80 meters.
Armament Haki- Jack can of turn his life energy into an invisible armor which protects against nearly all forms of attack (not sure about psychic attacks) as well as increase his striking power. This field of energy can either be used to cover his entire form or focused at specific area(s); neither of which is perfect as the greater the area of protection, the weaker the actual protection.

Conqueror's Haki-A form of haki which allows the user's will to dominate another's, which usually is manifested in a target being rendered unconscious. Though the ability can be defended against with a strong enough will(in the rp it will mostly be used to disarm cannon fodder). This ability can be applied in a quick burst or slow wave and can either be focused on individuals or a group.

Rokushiki-A superhuman form of martial arts that Jack picked up in the Cp9
Geppo- This technique grants someone the ability to push off none solid objects like air and water, granting them the power to jump on air or propel themselves like a bullet through water.
TekkaiThe user hardens their muscles to a point similar to steel thus vastly increasing their defense. The downside to this ability is the fact its done while the user tenses their muscles and so they can't move while using it.
Soru-A high-speed movement technique that allows the user to move in burst of speed faster than human eyes can perceive.
Equipment:
Bokki inkei- A large claymore style sword whose blade is gunmetal gray and seven feet long.

The Drunk Oni

Name: Yuugi Hoshiguma

Race: Oni

Gender: Female

Origin: Touhou

Objectives: Unlimited high quality sake for all Oni

Temperament: Yuugi is a very firm and straightforward oni. She likes those who are strong and brave, and has no mercy for the weak and cowardly.

Affiliation: Former Hell

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Backstory: Yuugi was one of the Big Four of the Mountain, along with Suika, and 2 other Oni. They were the "leaders" of the Oni, though, Oni don't really have much of a hierarchical system. Long ago, when an oni found a human that they liked, they tempted that human into challenging them in any way the human desired. Should the human lose, they were abducted. Because normal humans were nowhere near an oni's level of ability, humans resorted to sneaky underhanded tactics in order to beat the oni. Tired of being tricked and killed all the time, the oni swore off humans forever and left for a place beyond human reach, or so the legend says. It was during this period when the Big Four of the Mountain broke apart.

Yuugi was one of the many youkai and oni who moved into the Underworld in Hell when Gensokyo first became isolated from the Outside World. She and the others didn't wish to be chained to the rules that were set up, and decided to move down there. Though a non-aggression pact had apparently been negotiated, Yuugi realized that she wasn't enjoying spending time with humans, so she took up residence in Former Hell to be with kindred spirits. They built their own society and lived there, in isolation, for a really long time.

Skills: Yuugi can drink sake at a very high speed, and won't spill a drop of sake while in combat.

Abilities:

Super Strength - Even among Oni, Yuugi is exceptionally powerful. Her steps alone are enough to make buildings collapse. As a subset of this, Yuugi's scream can flatten forests around her, and can easily produce immense heat, enough to burn down villages.

Danmaku - As someone from Gensokyo, Yuugi can fly around and create danmaku.

Unexplainable Phenomena - Nobody, including Yuugi herself, knows what this is, thus, it isn't something that can ever be used.

Equipment: A sake dish called the "Hoshiguma Dish". It raises the quality of any sake poured into it.

It is a large village, containing mostly Oni, though a few other yokai have decided to live within the main village. Most yokai seem to live on the outskirts of the village. Under the village is the Blazing Hell, which is just a massive fire pit. As Oni seem to be the main species down here, they've been doing what Oni do best, partying. Thankfully, it seems like Yuugi's officers have been doing their best to scout out their surrounding area.

An envious girl with the ability to manipulate the jealousy of others.

Suika Ibuki

Yuugi's old friend, Suika is only slightly weaker than her friend, and can manipulate Density.

Koishi

Victory Conditions: -

Special Resources: Sake Bugs, and more Hell Fire for Utsuho.

Order of Battle:
Skirmish - Lesser underground yokai, such as Tsurube-otoshi, Zombie Fairies, and Hell Ravens make up the main offensive body at this stage. Lesser spirits are used for scout work, though, they're fully capable of assault if needed.

Battle - Stronger yokai, such as Tsuchigumo, and Vengeful Spirits make up the majority of the combat during this phase. Officers Rin, and Parsee will also start partaking during this phase.

Climax - Oni Mobs, Utsuho, Suika, and Yuugi will be added in, with Satori acting as a strategist of sorts. Once this phase is reached, you could say all of Hell is being let loose.

Carolyn Richter

Name: Carolyn Richter

Appearance: Though neither tall nor physically imposing, Carolyn maintains her physical fitness as a mech pilot needs both intellect and athletic capability. She can generally be found in the a pair of fatigues. She also keeps a needler pistol on her at most times.

Age: 42

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Origin: Battletech

Objectives: Given that escape seems off the table with the jumpship in need of repairs. Carolyn and the Rangers have decided that the best use of their time would be to sell their services to those who are willing to pay in one form or another. The ultimate goal of this is to be the biggest and most sought after mercenary unit on the array.

Temperament: Carolyn does her best to be deferential toward employers or potential employers and is normally warm to those who don't give her reason to be otherwise.

Affiliation: N/A

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Background: Ever since she was little Carolyn wanted to be a mechwarrior. Once she was old enough she enlisted in the FedCom military, however the time for training was cut short due to the invasion of the Clans from the periphery. Despite a lack of training, she was survived the initial conflicts with the clans, mostly on luck. While she loved her time in the cockpit, aside from near death experiences to the clan warriors, Carolyn quickly learned that she was not fond of the Hauptmann. He had risen to the rank on the laurels of the name Steiner, and was clearly ill-suited to the job. This, combined with the losses and wear of fighting the clans, led her to serve out her term, and after the clans had been stopped by comstar, start her own unit.

As this new unit took jobs and grew, the roster of pilots expanded, and so did Carolyn's horizon in the mercnet. However, with the clanners gone, another conflict was bound to boil over eventually. Once the FedCom Civil War began business was booming with contracts from both sides, as well as their Draconis and Capellan neighbors on the table. Given that she was born in the commonwealth and so were most of her unit, they didn't choose sides, but that didn't stop them from expanding during the conflict and by the time it was over the unit had reached a size where it was no longer just mechs and techs.

Just prior to the end of the war, Richter's Rangers were drawn to the array. As the unit's contracted jump ship prepared to take them to their next contract destination, the ship's systems began to behave strangely and instead of jumping to the nadir point of their target system, the Rangers found themselves looking at the array. The ship itself was immobile, it might never jump again, but that was irrelevant to the things they saw following that. Great warships and armies doing battle over the relay. Seeing that they were entirely outnumbered and outgunned, the Rangers made it a point to find a safe spot to land and attempt to avoid the fighting, which was mostly successful. Short a few groundpounders and mechs, Carolyn Richter and her rangers are now doing what mercs do best, look for a contract.

Skills:
-Mech Piloting
-Marksmanship(Rifle and Pistol): While a mechwarrior might normally only pilot their mech, there are times when they will leave the cockpit either by choice or force, these are the times when mechwarriors are expected to show at the very least a mild proficiency with firearms outside a mech.
-Capable Leader and Tactician
-Mech Maintenance: While technicians are the mech experts, Carolyn has ensured she has an idea of the inner workings of her mech and can do simple repairs. She also likes to offer a hand in the repair bays, as she feels her mech is as much her responsibility as the technicians'

Richter's Rangers

Faction Name: Richter's Rangers

Leader: Carolyn Richter

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Universe of Origin: Battletech

Starting Situation: Nomadic

Background: In the time before they were transported to the array, the Rangers were active throughout the inner sphere during the time of the FedCom Civil War. They took contracts from ranging from facility defense to hunting clanners to smash and grab operations. They tried to avoid choosing sides, but a majority decided to support the Davion loyalists. During this time they grew rapidly with contracts from the war.

Before the war reached its conclusion the rangers were taken to the array by a jumpship gone awry and left without a way home. The rangers avoided combat as best they could during the closing brawl, helped by the mobility afforded by the overlord dropships they had jumped with. They didn't claim any land but this kept fighting to a minimum losing only a handful of mechs and infantry in small skirmishes.

Officers: Named and important characters within the faction. This can range from NPCs to other Players characters if they join you. If they're NPCs you should at minimum give a sentence or so for descriptions. If its a player character other than your own, put a link in their name to their sheet.
-Kurt Schmitt: Regimental XO, Kurt is known to dislike things her perceives as nonsense. Prior to joining the rangers, Kurt was a member of the FedCom military as well. He was one of Carolyn's original lancemates and has since assumed command of the first company.
-Leonard Schwartz: An infantry man all around, built for battle armor, Leonard is often dismissive of the importance of mechs but still holds respect for Kurt as a commander.
-Pauline McBride: Is an ace aerospace pilot and head of the aerospace forces under Carolyn's command. She is more free-spirited and laid back than her fellow officers.
-Daniel Pearson: The man in charge of ground vehicles. He has a drinking problem but has yet to do anything to get him removed from his position. Otherwise he is a good officer.

Councilor Vay Hek

Drone (Standard)

Terra Frame


Name: Councilor Vay Hek

Age: Unknown.

Race: Grineer

Gender: Male

Origin: Warframe

Objectives: Vay Hek wishes to bring the entirity of the Ragnarok Array under his control, so as to give the Grineer a new base of operations to attack the Tenno and Corpus.

Temperament: He has a fanatic loyalty to the Twin Queens, and is easily one of the most intelligent and ambitious Grineer in the upper echelons of Grineer society.

Affiliation: Grineer Empire

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Background: It isn't very well documented how Vay Hek got his position, but it is known that he assassinated several political rivals to work his way up the Grineer chain of command. Before the entirety of the Grineer empire was pulled into the Ragnarok array, he spent most of his time on Earth. He was there as the Councilor of the planet, but also to strengthen the chokehold the Grineer had on the planet. Just before being pulled away, he had his sights set on the Corpus-controlled planet Mars, so as to further expand the territory of the Grineer. After being pulled in, he mostly stayed behind the scenes, instead utilzing propoganda to fuel the Grineer fighting efforts.

Skills:
Advanced Piloting Skills- Vay Hek is a natural pilot, able to fly just about anything. He gained this skill form learning to navigate his Terra Frame, as well as his flying drone.

Abilities:
Disruptor Shock- Vay Hek can target individual enemies, and fire a fast-moving beam of red electricity that disrupts electronics, including any shielding.
Disruption Wave- At the cost of a lot of energy, Vay Hek can unleash a wave of red electricty that travels along the ground. Any enemies caught in the wave will experience the effects of his disruptor shock, as well as being knocked back.

Equipment:
Terra Drone- Vay Hek's standard appearance. In the drone form, he can fly around at will.
Machine Guns- The drone is equipped with two machine guns, which start out with a low fire rate, although they quickly spool up. The guns don't deal much damage per shot, and are easy for foes to avoid by taking cover.
Propoganda Broadcaster- Vay Hek can open up a speaker on the drone, and louldy broadcast pro-Grineer propoganda, which bolsters the fighting abilities of any nearby Grineer forces.
Terra Frame- Vay Hek's preferred combat form. The Terra Frame is bulky, built of Ferrite armor. Thus, it is able to take a lot of damage before being destroyed.
Hek Cannon- A cannon that fires a single tracking missile. The missile doesn't move very fast, but it has a significant blast radius, and can deal heavy damage to foes. If he senses defeat, he will instead fire 3-4 missiles, although without the tracking capability.
Drone Launch- Vay Hek can launch drones stored in his Terra Frame. He can launch blue Propoganda Drones that broadcast pro-Grineer propoganda, bolstering the fighting capabilities of nearby Grineer, or Orbital Strike Drones, which lock-on to a foe's position and calls an orbital strike from a launcher located in the Grineer Base.
Shockwave- Vay Hek can jump up in the Terra Frame. When he slames the ground, a shockwave is released. It doesn't do much in the way of damage, but has a significant knockback effect.
Charge- Vay Hek can charge up the Terra Frame's power, and launch himself at a foe, ramming them and knocking them back a fair distance.

Tyl Regor

Name: Tyl Regor

Age: Unknown

Race: Grineer

Gender: Male

Origin: Warframe

Objectives: Tyl Regor wishes to capture as many nodes as possible in the Ragnarok Array, so as to be able to allocate the resources necessary to fuel the Grineer war efforts against the Tenno and the Corpus.

Temperament: Tyl Regor is cold and calculating in all he does, making even moral dilemmas (such as the Grineer cloning and mass-manufacturing process) boil down to a scientific process.

Affiliation: Grineer Empire

Alignment: True Neutral

Background: Before the entire Grineer empire was sucked into the Ragnarok Array, Tyl Regor was working in Grineer sealabs on Uranus to try and find what secrets the planet held. It was there that he found the tomb of the Sentient Hunhow, who was said to have been sealed away for destroying multiple solar systems. However, before Regor could present his case to try and open the tomb, the Grineer arrived on the Ragnarok Array. There, Regor spent the first weeks off of the front lines. Instead, he was observing strange mega-structures that dotted the land here and there. He has since reported his findings to the Twin Queens.

Skills:
Scientific Mind- Tyl Regor has one of the brightest minds in Grineer history. He has unlocked the secrets of many advanced sciences.
Deductive Mind- Tyl Regor's mind is also able to draw conclusions merely by observing. He has become very skilled in using deductive reasoning to solve issues.
Observation- Regor's observation skills are said to be beyond human. He is an expert at noticing even the tiniest of details.
Sprint Speed- Regor is among the fastest Grineer without using augmentations. He can move a blistering speeds, overwhelming foes easily.

Abilities:
Smoke Screen- In combat, Tyl Regor is able to emit a smokescreen, allowing for a quick escape, or to quickly reposition himself.
Teleportation- Tyl Regor has gained the ability to teleport at will, although he cannot travel long distances.
Slash Dash- A rapid attack where Regor quickly blitzes a foe, slashing at them with his main weapon. Used only with his Ack & Brunt.
Stompwave- A powerful attack where Regor jumps into the air, slamming down and causing a massive shockwave to damage and knockback foes. Used ony with his Knux.

Equipment:
Ack & Brunt- An axe-and-shield combo that Tyl Regor loves to wield. He handes the weapons with the fluid ease of an expert. Using this weapon set does not affect Regor's speed.
Knux- Regor hates being locked to one strategy, and thus also carried around a pair of Knux, which are giant metal gloves that enhance Regor's striking capabilites, at the cost of some of his movement speed. He can also launch them at high velocity for an AoE attack.
Alloy armor- Regor is equipped with Alloy armor, which is reserved for heavy Grineer units, and is more durable than the standard-issue Ferrite armor.

Gen. Sargas Ruk

Name: Gen. Sargas Ruk

Age: Unknown

Race: Grineer

Gender: Male

Origin: Warframe

Objectives: Sargas Ruk wishes to use the efforts of Councilor Vay Hek and Tyl Regor to claim the Ragnarok Array for the Grineer Empire. He then wishes to force the other living beings to either join the Grineer Empire, or sentence them to death.

Temperament: Despite having a xenophobic hatred of the Tenno and the Corpus, Sargas Ruk actually has a strong sense of honor, although his moral code is still questionable. He might make condescending remarks about his enemies' motives, but he does show admiration for those that stick to what they believe in.

Affiliation: Grineer Empire

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Background: Early on in the reign of the Twin Queens, Sargas Ruk was an officer in the Grineer military. After catching the attention of the Twin Queens, Sargas Ruk was promoted to General after his display of leadership skills during the crushing of the Corpus at Saturn. Under his leadership, the Grineer have made several decisive pushes, taking Sedna and Uranus from the Corpus as well. After the Grineeer Empire was pulled into the Ragnarok Array, Sargas Ruk personally led much of the battles that the Grineer waged, managing to minimize losses.

Skills:
Strategic Mind- Sargas Ruk is a formidable tactician, setting up the Grineer current OrBat plan after the first terrifying week on the Ragnarok Array.
Expert Firearms Proficiency- Sargas Ruk is proficient with every firearm in the Grineer arsenal, despite his inability to use any of the two-handed weapons after his modifications.
Expert Firearms Instructor- Gen. Ruk is also capable of teaching many troops at once how to best utilize their weapons and armor.
Ehanced Vison- Ruk's helmet augmentation grants him vision better than a standard person, and comes included with heat vision and night vision.

Abilities:
Blast Grenade- Sargas launches a slow, burning projectile that explodes on contact with a large blast radius and knockdown.
Fire Blast- Sargas Ruk slams the ground, creating an ever-expanding dome of fire. The dome deals high fire damage, and deals knockback to any enemy it hits
Inferno- Sargas slams the ground, pumping fire into it. This causes 5 persistent fiery pillars to erupt that last for 5 seconds, dealing high damage to a single target.
Flameburst- Sargas Ruk fires a continuous stream of fire from his arm cannon.

Equipment:
Alloy Armor- Like Regor, Sargas Ruk is outfitted with Alloy armor, which is more resistant than standard-issue Ferrite armor.
Arm Cannon- Sargas Ruk has replaced his entire lower left arm with a custom flamethrower.
Augmented Helmet- Sargas Ruk has replaced his normal vision with an augmented visor.

Grineer Empire

"Destroy all Tenno!"

Faction Name: Grineer Empire
Leader: The Twin Queens

Elder Queen

Worm Queen

The mysterious and mostly unseen leaders of the Grineer Empire. While Vay Hek, Sargas Ruk, and Tyl Regor are the frontment for the Grineer, it is really these two sisters that run the show. The two are cunning and ruthless, and don't deal lightly with traitors. Fortunately for them, most of the Grineer are manufactured with an innate love and loyalty of the Queens in their genetic make up.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Universe of Origin: Warframe
Starting Situation: Battered
Background: Before being pulled into the Ragnarok Array, the Grineer waged several wars. First was to overthrow their Orokin masters, which succeeded. However, the Grineer found that they had reproductive flaws, and turned to genetic cloning. After the Twin Queens came into power, the Grineer cloning process was increased in order to field an army to take over the solar system. However, this put them at odds with the Corpus and the Tenno. For years now, the Grineer have been churning out mass-produced weapons and soldiers, able to field large armies very quickly. Once they were pulled into the Ragnarok Array, they saw a chance to produce the resources they needed to field an army big enough to sweep the landscape once and for all.
Officers:
Councilor Vay Hek- Second-in Command
Tyl Regor- Lead scientist
Gen. Sargas Ruk- Commander of the Grineer forces
Victory Conditions: The Grineer Victory Condition consists of them constructing a fleet of Famorians and Balor Famorians, which will allow them to effortlessly take over the Ragnarok Array by force.
http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Fomorian
http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Balor_Fomorian
Special Resources:
1. Ferrite- A metal found only on few planets (Earth, Jupiter, and Uranus). The Grineer use them to make weapons and armor. Said armaments made of this metal are standard-issue for light and medium Grineer units.
2. Alloy- A metallic alloy that is tougher than Ferrite. Heavy Grineer soldiers have weaponry and armor made of this material.
3. Compund CDA- A compund that combats the Grineer's Cloning Decay. This allows their clones to have longer lifespans.
Order of Battle:
Despite their losses, the Grineer reproduction cycle (cloning) allowed them to regain some of their numbers. Right now, they number 2200 strong (100 of each unit type). They also have an arsenal of utility machines at their disposal.
Skirmish:
At this stage, the Grineer deploy their light forces to test the enemy:

LT Christopher Grant

Name: Christopher Grant
Callsign: 'Stick'

Appearance: Stands at 6'1", Caucasian complexion, buzzcut brown hair with some sideburn stubble, blue-irised eyes and possesses a weedy build. Generally not seen out of his 'work blues' (Naval BDU uniform) or (while spaceborn) his pilot's EVA suit.

Age: 28
Race: Human (Colonial)
Gender: Male
Origin: Battlestar Galactica (2000s series)

Objectives: Personal objectives will vary depending on the operation and day. If there's a long term objective Chris (and, indeed, his comrades and commander) holds, it is to return home to find out what had happened to it.

Temperament: Sound and calm behind the controls of his fighter and generally cares about his squadron mates (especially fellow squadron leader Rebecca Ash ('Beck' in informal situations or ones requiring brevity). Otherwise acts as a human would in every other situation (horrify him and he'll cringe or panic, tell a good joke and he'll laugh, etc).

Affiliation: Red Squadron, Battlestar 'Lysander', Colonial Navy
Alignment: Lawful Good

Background Summary

A competent pilot who had been more used to the peace-time of th Cylon-Human Armistice that ended the First Cylon War, Christopher had no idea what he was going to be getting into in the year leading up to the fall of the Twelve Colonies. A pilot with a generally excellent flying record and who had recently been 'fast-tracked' to the junior officer rank of Lieutenant, Grant eventually found himself aboard the newest Battlestar in the fleet ('Lysander') as a squadron commander.

While he quickly began to apply the ropes he had learned during his officer raining (and with guidance by his fellow class-mate, turned Green Squadron leader Rebecca Ash), Grant ultimately could not expect or prepare himself for the moment the Cylons returned to the galactic scene in explosive fashion. Unable to return to return to his homeworld of Aires and helpless as his pilots were forced to stay aboard as 'Lysander' charged towards the exit node away from Scorpio, all he could do was hang on for the ride.

The emergence above what has been termed the Ragnarok Array' and the month spent establishing orbital and ground presence has seen Grant take on a dual role as both a Viper Squadron CO and as a replaement bridge officer (owing to losses sustained at Scorpio). Like the majority fo the crew, Grant is eager to return home and to find out what happened to the Colonies. Unfortunately, with more immediate concerns and with no way back to Korbal for anyone, that wish is now on nigh-indefinite hold.

Skills: Apart from basic competencies expected of any member of the Colonial Navy, Grant has piloting experience on both the Viper Mk VII and the Raptor multi-role assault craft. As a squadron leader, he is expected to be able to fight against the enemy, be aware of his squadron's locations and be able to take the initiative at any moment - no easy task when your brain has to be capable of doing at least four things at once.

Abilities: None
Equipment:

• Personal sidearm
• EVA flight suit
• Formal and 'work' uniforms
• Viper Mk VII fighter craft

Battlestar BST-79 'Lysander'

Faction Name: Battlestar Group 79
Leader: CDR Stephanie Cunningham

Ship Heraldry:

An example of a ship's 'seal' (in this example, the iconic BST-75 'Galactica')

Top Arc: “Battlestar Lysander”
Bottom Arc: “BST 79”

Mottos:
“Strike Swift and Sure!” (Battlestar Group 79's motto)
“So Say We All!” (common refrain among the Twelve Colonies)

Alignment: Lawful Good

Universe of Origin: Battlestar Galactica (2000s series) (AU, User-created ship)
Starting Situation: Void-Based, Bloodied

Background

The third-last Mercury-class Battlestar produced for the Colonial Navy of the Twelve Colonies of Man, 'Lysander' was commissioned as part of Battlestar Group 79, acting as the flagship of a group consisting of 'Lysander', three Defender-class Battlestars and a flotilla of mothballed Marauder-class corvettes.

Having spent a year patrolling the border of the Colonial-Cylon Armistice Zone, 'Lysander' was recalled to rendevous at the Scorpio Shipyards in order to be outfitted with new computational hardware and software, including the Computational Navigation Program (CPN). However, BGS-79 had been diverted and returned late. By then, the shipyards were burning and swarmed by a Cylon invasion force. Forty years of peace had been broken and the instrument of the Fleet's destruction had been a back door in, ironically, the very program the Battlestar was due to be refitted with.

With no other way out except to punch their way through a trio of Cylon Basestars, Commander Cunningham gave orders for her battlegroup's subordinate craft to veer away and either engage at their discretion or to return to their homeworlds. With the nominal jump exit out from Scorpio blocked off, Cunningham ordered the initiation of a 'blind' jump, all the while the Battlestar was being hammered by fighter-borne nuclear missiles and anti-ship fire. Narrowly able to limp away (and, unknown to them in the chaos, with their sister ship 'Pegasus' also retreating), the 'Lysander' succeeded in initiating their 'blind' jump … and disappeared.

One month after their arrival at the Ragnarok Array, the crew of the 'Lysander' have been busy with damage repair, coming to terms with the loss of much of their fleet (unknown to them, the entire Twelve Colonies were also wiped out) and keeping their immediate space clear of interference. While Commander Cunningham plans to begin further exploration afield, early encounters with unidentified spacecraft had blunted exploration efforts and resulted in casualties and further damage. 'Lysander' is well-equipped to withstand a major battle, but no-one aboard has any idea where they are, why they are here or that there are far worse things then Cylons both in orbit and below ...

Officers:

• Battlestar Commander: CDR S. Cunningham (NPC).
  
  CTN Stephanie Cunningham

  
  A 'close-as' reference of Captain S. Cunningham's appearance
  
  The 40s-something, somewhat embittered commander of 'Lysander'. An expert naval tactican who knows how to use her Battlestar and its crew to the fullest, but is struggling with both recent events and as-of-yet unidentifiable foes facing her men.
• Executive Officer (XO): MAJ Silas Paulson (NPC)
• Marine Commander: COL Verran (NPC)
• Red Squadron Leader: Christopher Grant (PC)
• Green Squadron Leader: Rebecca Ash (NPC). Grant's counterpart and friend. Somewhat joking and a bit of a tease, but also a firm hand when frak goes south.
• Six additional Viper Squadron Commanders
• Commander of Battlestar's Raptor Wing

Victory Conditions: TBD by Admin.

Special Resources:

Tylium Ore
A rare ore found on certain planetoids, tylium ore is the primary fuel source of the Colonial Fleet. In theory, a Battlesrat of either Jupiter or Mercury class could be powered for two decades with a single supply of Tylium for its reactors. In practise – and with full flight operations occurring regularly – the onboard supply could be exhausted in as little as four months by constant FTL jumps and the requirements of its subordinate craft.

It could be said that, without the mining and distribution of this ore, the Twelve Colonies of Man and its Navy would cease to function.

Order of Battle

Skirmish
1 or 2 Viper flights, with 1 or more Raptors acting as AWACS.

Battle
3+ Viper squadrons, with at least 2 Assault Raptor flights as bombers and 2 Raptors configured for AWACS. 1 or more Marine platoons aboard transport Raptors (if battle is groundside).

Climax
All Viper and Assault Raptor squadrons are scrambled to engage the enemy, while 'Lysander' provides anti-fighter screening and direct fire support. Marine-carrying Raptors (with infantry) may also be utilised if engagement is taking place ground-side (e.g.: the storming of New Caprica) or boarding a ship is required.

Nuclear missile launch may be authorised under strict, generally "no-'win'-otherwise" scenarios.

Starting Location: Orbit above the Array. One Node within the southern rainforest area (salmon pink on the map).

Emperor Palpatine

Title:
Darth Sidious

Age:
81

Race:
Human

Gender:
Male

Origin:
Star Wars Canon

Objectives:
Emperor Palpatine desires to take control of the Array as a secret area in which to produce star destroyers and other massive super weapons to defeat the Rebel Alliance and restore order to his Empire, as well as finding a way to connect the Array with his galaxy.

Temperament:
Emperor Palpatine is a master manipulator and extremely talented and careful in creating a charade, capable of hiding his own thoughts and feelings as shown when he rose to power as Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and then created the Galactic Empire. While seemingly much more negotiable and calm when talking to others, he is reported to be even more cold than even to the likes of Darth Vader. He can create alliances with allies that he sees will help him with his cause and once they have finished their duty, Palpatine usually discards or exterminates them. He's also known to have sadistic tendencies when torturing his opponents, especially with force lightning.

Affiliation:
The Galactic Empire

Alignment:
Neutral Evil

Background:
Shortly after the events of Marvel’s Star Wars: Darth Vader comics, Emperor Palpatine awards Darth Vader by having him reclaim control of the entire Imperial fleet, including his personal fleet Death Squadron and the Super Star Destroyer the Executor from Grand General Cassio Tagge, after being punished by his master for his failure in defending the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. Shortly after, both sith lords continued in their attempt to crush the Rebel Alliance and to secure peace through the galaxy. However, while they were attempting to make a hyperspace jump to the planet Fondor to check up on the major Imperial shipyards of that area, alongside Grand Admiral Thrawn and General Veers, a freak anomaly caused the Executor and five other escorting star destroyers to jump into a completely new and unknown location. For several days the fleet tried to figure out where they were in the galaxy and attempted to contact any nearby Imperial Forces, but alas they were unsuccessful.

After one week in unknown space, the fleet arrived at the Array, and immediately they began planning on their next course of action. The plan set forth was to invade the planet and gather up as many resources to refuel and resupply the Imperial Navy and find a way to get back to friendly lines. Vader is in charge of overseeing the ground operations personally alongside General Veers, while Emperor Palpatine oversees the operation from above, alongside Grand Admiral Thrawn, and stay onboard the star destroyers to eliminate any hostile forces that attempt to jeopardize their efforts.

Skills:

• Expert Swordsmanship: Despite his frail appearance, Palpatine is incredibly skilled in lightsaber combat, being one of the greatest duelists of all time. Sidious has an extremely aggressive dueling style and augmented his swordplay by using Force-enhanced speed, which has allowed him to defeat three experienced Jedi Masters at once with very little effort in the past. His style is a combination of brutal aggression and lethal precision making him an almost unstoppable opponent. He can also wield two lightsabers at once and use them masterfully. However, like his apprentice Darth Vader, he prefers to use his force abilities rather than his lightsaber, only using it in rare instances when its deemed necessary.
• Master Manipulator: Using the dark side of the force to hide his true thoughts and feels, Palpatine can put up a straight face when lying to other individuals. This makes it hard to initial find out if he's lying or not.
• Professional Politician: Having experience with leading the Republic and the Empire, Palpatine has extensive knowledge in politics.

Abilities:

• The Force: As the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith in his time, Palpatine is incredibly powerful in the Force. While he uses all the regular force techniques of a sith lord, such as telekinesis, force choke, and the like, he is most infamous for being a master practitioner of Force lightning, using this power both as a deadly attack, and as a means of torture. He can also use force telepathy to contact others from extremely far distances.

Equipment:

• Lightsaber: Palpatine’s lightsaber is his primary weapon against jedi and other opponents. While he usually uses the force to dispatch lesser victims, he is never afraid to wield in times where it deems necessary.
• Cane: Palpatine can be occasionally seen using a cane while looking, however he doesn't actually need one, and usues to make himself look weak.

Darth Vader

Real Name:
Anakin Skywalker

Age:
37 Years

Race:
Human

Gender:
Male

Origin:
Star Wars Canon

Objectives:
As the Emperor’s brutal enforcer, Lord Vader attends to every command that his master orders. He is to lead the invasion of the Array and oversee the gathering and mining operations on the planet, as well as strike down any opponents that deems a threat to the Empire.

Temperament:
Vader is definitely someone that you shouldn’t piss off on his bad days. He is ruthless, virtually devoid of mercy, and is known to occasionally kill his own officers for their failures. The Dark Lord also had absolutely no qualms about using torture to accomplish his goals and is also known to manipulate others for his own doings or on behalf of the Emperor. Considered to be the Empire's first terror weapon and noted to employ antiquated diction, he is tenacious and looks seemingly unstoppable, making most Imperial naval officers uncomfortable. Contrary to the rocky relationships he had with most Imperial officers, his rapport towards stormtroopers mirrors in many ways his former persona's relationship to the Republic's clone troopers when he was a jedi. Part of his reputation was that he will normally be quiet (and thus his presence made for a good implied threat to others), whereas shows of passivity were not. Indeed, it is well-known that he usually prefers to oversee operations personally, using action to block out any intruding feelings. He is also frequently at odds with those who lacks faith in the Force, finding it "disturbing" or even blasphemous.

Affiliation:
The Galactic Empire

Alignment:
Lawful Evil

Background:
Shortly after the events of Marvel’s Star Wars: Darth Vader comics, Vader finally takes back control of the entire Imperial fleet, including his personal fleet Death Squadron and the Super Star Destroyer the Executor, from Grand General Cassio Tagge, after being punished by Palpatine for his failure in defending the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. Now back in the Emperor’s good graces, both sith lords continued in their attempt to crush the Rebel Alliance and to secure peace through the galaxy. However, while they were attempting to make a hyperspace jump to the planet Fondor to check up on the major Imperial shipyards of that area, alongside Grand Admiral Thrawn and General Veers, a freak anomaly caused the Executor and five other escorting star destroyers to jump into a completely new and unknown location. For several days the fleet tried to figure out where they were in the galaxy and attempted to contact any nearby Imperial Forces, but alas they were unsuccessful.

After one week in unknown space, the fleet arrived at the Array, and immediately they began planning on their next course of action. The plan set forth was to invade the planet and gather up as many resources to refuel and resupply the Imperial Navy and find a way to get back to friendly lines. Vader is in charge of overseeing the ground operations personally alongside General Veers, while Emperor Palpatine and Admiral Thrawn stay onboard the star destroyers to eliminate any hostile forces that attempt to jeopardize their efforts.

Skills:

• Superior Swordsmanship: Darth Vader has a natural talent when it comes to wielding sword-based weapons, especially when in the possession of his crimson lightsaber. While his cybernetic enhancements and armor has somewhat limited his mobility compared to when he was a jedi, his dueling style became visually more direct than it had been and his power is much stronger.
• Expert Pilot: As Skywalker, he was already an incredibly skilled pilot, showing an amazing ability that few were able to surpass. Even after becoming Vader, he remained an exceptionally skilled pilot, as shown when he single-handedly almost destroyed Phoenix Squadron in a lone TIE Advanced x1, easily out-flying their entire fleet and forcing their command to abandon ship, and when he almost obliterated several Alliance squadrons during the Battle of Vrogas Vas. Despite this, he would otherwise be shot down on a regular basis during his combat piloting career.
• Mechanic: While rarely used, Vader is certainly capable at repairing technology, mostly due to the fact that he built and created various technology when he was a mere boy.

Abilities:

• The Force: Vader was already incredibly skilled with the force during his time as jedi Anakin Skywalker. Yet after his cybernetic reconstruction, Vader's connection to the Force strengthened considerably, to the point where his master Sidious once complimented his powers as being "unparallelled". Though his injuries had crippled his physical body, Vader believed that the suffering that he had experienced had both perfected his spirit and freed him from the needs of the flesh, allowing him to concentrate solely on his relationship to the Force. He is extremely well versed in telekinesis, being powerful enough to take down starships and throw items at opponents while engaging in lightsaber conflicts, as well in other force abilities such as force push/pull, force barrier, force crush, force jump, force deflect, force speed, and his infamous force choke.

Equipment:

• Lightsaber: Darth Vader’s lightsaber is his primary weapon against jedi and other opponents. While he usually uses the force to dispatch lesser victims, he is never afraid to wield in times where it deems necessary.

Boba Fett

Age:
32 Years

Race:
Human (Clone of Jango Fett)

Gender:
Male

Origin:
Star Wars Canon

Objectives:
Boba's doesn't have a clear agenda in the Array. He's simply there because the Empire has hired him several jobs that require of his services. However, he has toyed the idea of creating a crime syndicate of smugglers and other bounty hunters sometime in the near future. If that doesn't succeed, he'll find a way out of the Array.

Temperament:
Boba Fett is a bounty hunter, meaning he can work with almost anyone as long as they pay him well. He isn't necessarily the best at dealing with other competition calmly, but he may accept working with someone as long as he gets a share of the rewards. However, if you're on his hit list, beware, as he is extremely lethal and rarely merciless to his bounty and will do almost anything to assure his success. You just have to be very lucky to get out alive.

Affiliation:
Bounty Hunter ("Galactic Empire" as a major faction he works with)

Alignment:
Independent Operative (True Neutral)

Background:
During the events of Marvel's Star Wars: Darth Vader comics, Boba Fett was last seen on a mission for Darth Vader to track down the rebel who destroyed the Death Star, who was associated with a man named Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a smuggling vessel known as the Millennium Falcon. The mission lead Boba to the town of Mos Eisley in Tatooine, where the wretched hive of scum and villainy resided and where Han Solo, captain of the Falcon, usually resides. Long story short, Boba finds the pilot whom he catches as Skywalker. The two fought in a brutal battle inside the deceased Kenobi's home in the Jundland Wastes and it seemed as the bounty hunter was going to win. However, a box marked "For Luke" suddenly flew across the room and collided with Boba's head, knocking him unconscious. Skywalker and his astromech were equally surprised, but quickly left the hut and Tatooine, leaving Boba to report the events that had transpired to Lord Vader.

While reporting that the boy had "gotten lucky", he did reveal Skywalker's name to the dark lord. Vader remained silent for some time, so Boba left, for their present business was concluded. Unknown to Boba, he had just told the Dark Lord that he had a son. Now Boba is called upon the Empire once again for several jobs taking place in the Array. His compliance will earn him an extreme amount of credits if he succeeds in all of them, at least that's what the Empire claims.

Skills:

• Expert Unarmed Combatant: Trained by his father, Jango Fett, Boba is extremely well versed in unarmed combat, while also being known to use dirty tricks to swipe his opponents off balance with his sharp cunning and wit.
• Superior Marksman: Boba is an expert marksman and has access to considerable weaponry, being able to place most of his shots on his targets. Despite having this high-tech arsenal, he was not dependent on it and is perfectly capable to stand alone with his bare hands.
• Skilled Pilot: Boba Fett is a skilled pilot taking after his father Jango Fett, using his ship, Slave One, to its maximum effort and skill.

Abilities:
N/A

Equipment:

• EE-3 Carbine Rifle: Boba Fett's signature weapon, the EE-3 Carbine is an optically fitted blaster rifle capable of three-round burst fire at long ranges, but had lower accuracy and stopping power compared to larger rifles.
• Sacros K-11 Blaster Pistol: A blaster pistol used as a secondary weapon for Boba.
• Mandalorian Armor: Boba Fett's Mandalorian armor was originally constructed from duraplast, allowing it to sustain a great deal of damage without degrading. Despite its battle-scarred look, it has saved his life several times during his career.
• Flamethrower Wrist Gauntlet: Boba's left wrist gauntlet contains a flamethrower that creates a cone of fire five meters long and one meter in diameter. It had a corded fuel line connecting to a backpack canister holding fuel for three minutes of operation.
• Dur-24 wrist laser: Boba's left wrist gauntlet also has a mounted laser weapon located directly below the flamethrower socket that combined the full firepower of a standard blaster rifle with a range of up to 50 meters.
• Whipcord Launcher: Boba's right wrist gauntlet has a fibercord whip with a grappling device: a 20-meter-long fibercord whip used to entangle and immobilize a target. It also held retractable vibro-blades and a dart launcher.
• Wrist Rocket: Boba's right wrist gauntlet can also fire a wrist rocket which utilized computer target tracking.
• Rocket Dart Launchers: Boba also had knee pads with rocket dart launchers. These small launchers used Malkite themfar or Fex-M3, molecular acid, stun agents, or explosive tips to deal considerably powerful damage.
• Anti-Security Blades: Anti-security blades were sophisticated devices that could defeat fence fields and tune out security cameras and other security systems. They functioned by emitting intense harmonic interference waves that caused devices and systems to malfunction. When they were set on a higher level, anti-security blades could erase magnetic locks and allow the operator to gain access to nearly any door. When set to the proper frequency they could also be used to jam comlinks. Boba kept anti-security blades in his shin pockets.
• Data Breaker: Data breakers are used to crack computer security systems and download and store data. Data breakers could be set to automatically, and selectively, download information concerning specific topics. Boba Fett used a particularly effective data breaker that could crack most secure systems and download up to 5,000 exabytes of data in a few moments.
• Thermal Detonators: Boba carried an assortment of grenades onboard, though he normally carries explosive thermal detonators. He can utilize other grenade types as well, including flash, stun, poison gas, etc.
• Vibroblade: Boba carried a spare vibroblade in case he had to engage in melee combat.
• Jetpack: Boba's jetpack can hold enough fuel for three 20-second blasts, 20 three-second blasts or one minute of continuous operation. Each three second blast can move him up to 100 meters horizontally or 7 meters vertically. Fett can reach a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour with a maximum range of two kilometers. Directional thrusters featured gyro-stabilizers to apply counter-thrust for maneuvering and landing. The top of the jet pack had a turbo-projected magnetic grappling hook with 20-meter lanyard (replaceable with 100 meters). A winch inside the launcher could lift up to 100 kilograms. The grappling hook unit was replaceable with an anti-vehicle homing missile.
• Slave One (Vehicle): Boba Fetts personal ship is armed with laser cannons and projectile launchers, as well as with deadly seismic charges.

The Galactic Empire

Leader:
Emperor Sheev Palpatine “Darth Sidious”

Alignment:
Lawful Evil

Universe of Origin:
Star Wars “Canon”

Starting Situation:
Void - The Empire remained hidden above the Ragnarock array during the first week and only now after accepting that they are unable to contact the rest of the Empire, they must head to the surface to mine for supplies to hyperspace back to their own galaxy.

Background:
Rising to power in the final years of the Republic, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious gradually secured the government under his control through the persona of Sheev Palpatine, the last Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Through his machinations as both Sidious and Palpatine, the Sith were restored to a position of dominance amidst the fall of the Jedi Order and the marginalization of the Galactic Senate. Without the Jedi guardians of peace and justice to oppose him, Sidious brought an end to a thousand years of democracy; in its place he installed the absolute rule of himself as Galactic Emperor.

For over two decades, opposition to the Imperial regime was ruthlessly suppressed by the rapidly expanding armed forces of the Empire. Throughout most of the Empire's existence, the Imperial Senate stood within the Empire as the last surviving symbol of the Republic. With the completion of the Death Star, the Emperor felt confident enough to dissolve the body of galactic representatives while maintaining his control over the galaxy through a collective of sector governors and the overall fear that the new battle station would inspire. However, the growing resentment to Imperial rule gradually led to the rise of various resistance movements that ultimately culminated in the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. United by a common goal, the Alliance became a viable threat to the Empire after its successful theft of the Death Star plans and the station's subsequent destruction at the Battle of Yavin.

Now one year later, the Empire had finally completed the first Super Star Destroyer known as the Executor. While the Emperor, along with his dark apprentice Darth Vader and several other officers and generals, began to jump to hyperspace to reach the Imperial Shipyards of Fondor, an anomaly caused the main Capital ship, along with five other supporting Imperial II-class Star Destroyers and several Arquitens-class and Gozanti-class cruisers, to eventually find themselves emerge near the Ragnarock Array. Cut off from reinforcements and currently running out of fuel, the Empire must land on the planet’s surface to find more raw materials and Tibanna gas, if possible, to refuel their star destroyers and call for reinforcements.

Officers:
Sith Lord Darth Vader
Grand Admiral Thrawn
General Maximillian Veers

Victory Conditions:
TBA

Special Resources:
One of the Empire’s most valuable resources is tibanna gas, which is an extremely valuable resource used in hyperdrives, starship and blaster weaponry, and used as a coolant around the gravito-active elements of repulsorlifts.

Order of Battle:
Skirmish - When preparing to invade an unknown territory, the Empire often sends out Probe droids or a small platoon of stormtroopers to scout out the surrounding area. They also utilize scout troopers riding 74-Z speeder bikes to quickly scout out the area at a quick rate and reporting their findings back to central command. The empire will also deploy AT-STs (All Terrain Scout Transports) and sometimes TX-225A Occupier tanks to provide as stronger back up.
Battle - If the enemy has an extensive amount of forces backing them up, the Empire will send heavier weaponry to deal with them, such as the more powerful AT-ST Mark IIIs, HAVw A6 Juggernauts, and the mighty AT-AT walkers. More stormtroopers will also be placed on the ground with stronger weaponry, including rocket launchers, grenade launchers and even miniguns. If air support is being used by the opposing faction, TIE Fighters, TIE Strikers, and/or TIE Interceptors can be sent in to counter them. Darth Vader may appear on the battlefield alongside General Veers in his AT-AT.
Climax - Orbital bombardment can be called in as the Star Destroyers bombard the battlefield from high in the atmosphere. TIE Bombers can be called in to bomb the battlefield to flush out any remaining resistance. Elite Death Troopers can be deployed on the ground to snuff out the remaining resistance from the ground. Vader and rarely Palpatine can also appear at this time for a more devastating effect if the Death Troopers are too busy or unavailable.

Prince Arcann

Hider

Real Name:
Prince Arcann
Age:
30 Years

Race:
Human

Gender:
Male

Origin:
Star Wars The Old Republic

Objectives:
Prince Arcann's goal is to make the Vermillion Empire the greatest faction in the Array..

Temperament:
a calculating, shrewd, patient and ruthless young man. Arcann deeply desired love and acknowledgment from his father, Valkorion, but his father's lack of interest in his children caused Arcann to develop a deep resentment for his father, to the point that, in a fit of rage, Arcann attempted to kill him. Both Arcann's parents believe jealousy to be Arcann's hidden and fatal weakness.

He was a fierce frontline warrior, and when working with his brother Thexan, the two were nearly unstoppable. Arcann and Thexan were inseparable as children, with Thexan helping Arcann in times of need and Arcann having complete faith and loyalty in Thexan. When Arcann lost his arm, Thexan never left his side, something Arcann deeply appreciated. After accidentally killing Thexan, Arcann was shocked and heartbroken by his actions, and it is implied this is the one action he has taken that he regrets. Arcann later speaks of missing Thexan to their sister, Vaylin, believing that Thexan would've sided with him against their father.
Arcann appeared to love Vaylin, and his acknowledgment of her abilities kept her loyal to him. However, Arcann was arrogant, and believed himself beyond the reach of destiny.

Affiliation:
Through The Force, Valkorion still influences Arcann to obey him despite his dislike. Prince Arcann, if he were free, would rebel against Valkorion.

Alignment:
Lawful Evil

Background:
SCORPIO told Arcann the location of Odessen, the planet where the Outlander was based. Ordering a counterattack against the fleet with the Gravestone, the Outlander boarded Arcann's flagship and confronted him on the bridge, while SCORPIO took control of the ships in Arcann's fleet to destroy the flagship, in order to eliminate both Arcann and the Outlander in one fell swoop. During their duel, Arcann demanded that Valkorion "answer" him, unaware that Valkorion had (seemingly) left the Outlander's body. With the weapon they had forged with Satele Shan and the Force ghost of Darth Marr, the Outlander battled Arcann while SCORPIO's ships tore the flagship apart around them, until finally defeating him. Staggering back from the Outlander, he was seemingly crushed by collapsing debris, his cybernetic arm destroyed.

The wounded Arcann was found by Senya, who lamented that she had wanted to save him. When Vaylin arrived, Senya offered to take them both with her; Vaylin angrily refused. But when she attempted to strike Senya down, Arcann Force-pushed her away, saving his mother. While Vaylin vengefully retreated back to Zakuul, Senya took Arcann in his personal shuttle and escaped into hyperspace, as the flagship and its escorts were obliterated by the Gravestone.[16]

Skills:
Arcann had skill in politics, as after taking control of Zakuul he made it the most powerful political faction in the galaxy. He also had a degree of talent as a military commander, managing to defeat both the Republic and Empire within the short span of 5 years.

Abilities:

The Force:
Arcann was a naturally strong Force user and a highly skilled duelist, being able to defeat both Sith Lords and Jedi Knights. He utilized a yellow bladed lightsaber in combat. He can use yellow Force lightning and powerful yellow Force pushes, which shows a great proficiency of telekinesis.

Equipment: Yellow Lightsaber, Armor, Mask

Lightsaber: Prince Arcann has a lightsaber of yellow color.

Princess Vaylin
Real Name:
Princess Vaylin
Age:
25 Years

Race:
Human

Gender:
Female

Origin:
Star Wars The Old Republic

Objectives:
Vaylin's personal goal is to over throw Valkorion, but since that's unlikely, she is a general for the Vermillion Empire.

Temperament:
Vaylin is a hot tempered mad woman, due to being imprisoned for many years, and her powers taken away from her. She is homicidal, only the power of Valkorion keeps her mentally enslaved. As a result of suffering from torture, she had lost all sense of morality.

Skills:
Vaylin is skilled with a lightsaber.

Powers and Abilities:
The Force:
Vaylin's power with Force Lighting, Telekinesis and Force Maelstrom were among the best in her Empire, Valkorion would only be more powerful than Vaylin because of his experience, intelligence, Sorcery and practice.
