Short Bio: Natasha Zhang was born in the frontier world of Qingdao, on the edge of Ascendancy space. Qingdao was a rustic world, mostly dedicated to farming, mining, and providing raw materials to the Ascendancy Core Worlds, who provided protection in the form of naval forces. As is usually the case in these kinds of stories, Natasha soon grew tired of the podunk homeworld she was stuck in and dreamt of greater things, to be a captain of one of the starships she saw on the HyperNet. And so, once she grew old enough, she went off to join the nearest Recruitment Office to join the Ascendancy forces in their escalating hostilities against other species.

Starting as a midshipman abroad a Corvette, Natasha soon encountered the glass ceiling that prevented those from the frontier colonies from ascending to high rank in the Ascendancy Fleet, as well as the favoritism shown to those from the Core. Nevertheless, out of stubbornness, she ignored it, and even hoped for a war against the Rau've in order to give her opportunities to prove herself. Piloting a starship was her dream, and she wasn't going to let go of that just because of some opposition. And so she waited for war, and when it came, the rapid series of battles against the Rau've and Kaisoken gave her multiple avenues for promotion.

Finding herself in command of the Corvette she served in, then a Frigate and a Cruiser, Natasha's rise then stopped due to the Battle of Proxima, where she lost several of her crew to a Rau've broadside when the Grand Admiral in charge of the Ascendancy Fleet used her ship and several others held by 'frontier-born' officers as bait to draw a Coalition squadron into a space minefield. This drew her ire, especially as in the aftermath of the battle, she and the other 'frontier-born' were blamed for the battle's loss and dishonorably discharged. Shocked by such ingratitude, Natasha went back to her homeworld for a while to take up farming but grew bored again.

This is why the secret message from Moonstrike, sent through the dark web, was music to her ears. The resistance group, tired of the Ascendancy's lies, propaganda, and totalitarian tactics were gathering people for a guerrilla campaign against the Ascendancy. And yes, they can provide the ex-captain her own ship: It would merely be a light freighter, but it would be enough for her; at last, she can soar through the stars again.

She remembered smiling as she pondered her vengeance against the Ascendancy; it will come swiftly.

Personality-wise, Natasha is a hard-drinking woman who loves loud music and surprisingly, history (mostly of the military type). She loves tales of old battles but has branched out to hearing about economic and social causes of warfare; she also loves a good tale of poisoning, assassination, and deliberately engineered 'accidents'. She is also a gun and sword enthusiast (unsurprisingly), but ships and navigation are her true love.

Character Traits

Ship Captain - Despite everything, Natasha knows a lot about piloting a ship, and is proficient in navigation and astrography, while also knowing her vessel and its systems like the back of her hand.

Frontier-born-and-bred - Natasha is also a rough-and-tumble person who knows how to pilot and drive atmospheric and ground vehicles, can hold her own in a fight with guns and swords, and physically strong with great bodily resilience.

Smuggler and Trader - Even before joining Moonstrike, even before her military career, Natasha knew the ins and outs of trade and barter from her farm girl upbringing. Same for her involvement with the black market, which provided some necessities to her homeworld due to the Ascendancy's neglect. And now that she is part of a rebel group that also engages in smuggling, her nascent skills in commerce, legal and illegal, can now be trained to blossom...

Short Bio: Ashton Andrews could still remember a time when he had been happy. Born to an ordinary household, with the only thing extraordinary about him being his intelligence, he had loving parents and friends, as well as promises of a future scholarship to the University of Proxima Centauri, a star system which he would one day 'visit' in a way he very much did not want. Then the war with the Rau've and Kaisoken started, a war that his parents privately murmured was 'for unneeded territory' and 'to serve the needs of the dictators in power'. These whispers were somehow heard by the authorities, who were already viewing Ashton as a potential test subject, and so on Ashton's thirteenth birthday, Ashton disappeared on his way to school, and it was subtly hinted that his abduction was to keep his parents under control.

After disappearing, Ashton was taken to an Ascendancy Black Site, where horrific experiments were done to him, as well as various humiliations and torments to slowly break down his sense of self and make him more malleable for military training, which he was quickly thrown into as the war with the 'Alien Meneace' was intensifiying at a rapid pace. He was trained by the best special forces trainers, who put him through hell in order to fight in any environment with his chosen weapons and use the Magic that had been infused into his blood to lethal effect. And once he was ready, he was sent to another level of hell.

Life became a blur of combat actions, depression, and additonal traumas imposed by his 'superiors'. And also friendships, bonds, and even love with his fellow child soldiers, among them one Flame Brooks, who became his boyfriend and fighting partner. Together, they managed to make it through the Ascendancy's increasing number of losses, which culiminated in the Battle of Proxima, where the Ascendancy Fleet tried to prevent the Rau've/Kaisoken Coalition from pushing through to Earth.

Ashton and Flame were deployed with most of the child soldiers in a boarding action against the Rau've's flagship with orders to demolish it, but this turned out to be a trap, as the Aliens had learned how to fight against these 'magical humans' after many engagements. Ashton and Flame and their battalion were ambushed by overwhelming enemy forces, who subdued them with a tranquilizer which could not be negated with Change Magic.

The young man woke up in a prison camp, screaming for Flame. A collar of plant matter and crystal was on his neck, preventing him from casting spells, and the walls were padded and without any convinient air vents. It was clear that he was at the mercy of his enemies, and all he can do was cry.

Then, he was allowed to meet with Flame, and there was hope that things might be all right. Said hope was proven right when the aliens treated the child soldiers humanely, allowing them to roam freely in their 'prison quarters', giving them books to read, puzzles to play with, and actually taking care of them. And with Flame, he was happy, even though the other boy burnt with a need for revenge, while Ashton wanted only closure. And so, they decided not to accept the Rau've's offer of a new home, and instead chose to chase rumors of Moonstrike, a resistance against the Ascendancy. This was allowed, but not without regrets...

Spell List:

Supernal Vision (High) - The Mage can see all Magic, identify what School it is, and the strength of the spell.

High Enchantment (High) - Ashton's daggers and bullets can be enchanted to deal wounds unhealable by Magic on Magi, Magical Creatures, and Constructs. This can be cast on weapons not owned by Ashton for three rounds of combat.

Suppress Aura (High) - Ashton can conceal the aura given off by his own Magic and others, as well as the aura of magical items.

Aerokinesis (World) - Ashton can control the wind, moving it around at high velocities.

Physical Invisibility (World) - Ashton can bend light and electromagnetic radiation (infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays, etc.) to hide from physical scanning.

Flash Step (Timespace) - Ashton can teleport a very short distance, the length of a small room, to get behind an enemy and thus gain the advantage of surprise.

Character Traits

Infilitrator - Ashton is trained not just in regular stealth, but the electronic kind, in hiding his presence from surveillance equipment. He is also adept in collecting information, not just from Alien technology, but from renegade AIs and computers owned by 'collaborators' as well. In short, he's not just a stealth fighter, but a hacker as well, just as capable of entering your smartphone's systems as he is at carving your heart out with a knife... Or was it the reverse?

Parkour and Acrobatics - Ashton is a natural in climbing things, somersaulting out of the way of attacks, and even contorting himself a bit. This gives him an extra advantage in urban terrain, as well as any area not an even plain.

Wolf Cub of Wall Street - When he was young, Ashton's inner genius manifested itself when he accidentally logged into the E-commerce platform his father was using and, thinking it was some sort of videogame, promptly made his parents a fortune in the stock market, a fortune which his father had to give back upon finding out. Nevertheless, when Ashton grew older, he managed to find ways to play the E-commerce game until he was abducted by the Ascendancy, and even then, he found occasional ways to get back in the stock market game whenever his superiors' vigilance lapsed.

Artwork Originally of Lark Meadows from Moonlight Apparition, a webcomic made by one Darkhalo4321; all credit given to her.

Ballistics Vest - An undershirt of soft but tough materials surrounding a core of armored dura-ceramic plates that can withstand a few pistol shots.

Flame Inventory Upgrades:

- 1 Steelweave under-suit with trauma plates underneath.
- 1 Earmuffs.
- 2x Inciendary Grenades
- 2x Frag Grenades
- 2x EMP Grenades

Short Bio: Flame Brooks was born to a drunkard father whose mother ran out on the family. Needless to say, this did not result in a happy upbringing, even with Flame's high intelligence and physicality allowing him to be fast-tracked in education. By some miracle, the authorities only took Flame once he was thirteen, and even then it wasn't social services who came for him, but rather the miitary, whom Flame's father sold his own son to in exchange for more drinking money.

What followed was hell, hell that could have turned him into a sociopath or psychopath willing to inflict cruelty and pain on others just to gain respite from his own suffering, if not for Ashton reaching out for him in one of the few periods of free time they were allowed to have. Friendship followed, and in the adrenaline-charged haze of the war, so much more. Flame found someone to love, someone who loved him, and he was able to endure the perils of war and the traumas placed on him and Ashton by their 'owners' in the military because of this. And so in what moments of spare time he had, he plotted revenge, revenge against the Ascendancy.

In the final decisive battle at Proxima, Flame fought hard against the Alien Coalition's forces, fearing death and other ordeals should they be captured by the enemy. But it was said enemy who spared them after capture, and said enemy who treated them as sapient beings once more and not property. And thus, he had time to think about the revenge he planned on the Ascendancy. However, if Ashton had chosen the Rau've offer of a new home, he'd have accepted - Ashton's happiness was important to him, after all.

Thankfully, his boyfriend had a similar need, a need for closure, and so they decided to courteously decline the offer of a new and peaceful life. And so Flame made his final decision: To throw himself into a new conflict, this time, to make the Ascendancy - The enemy - pay for the treatment he and Ashton were put through!

Spell List:

Energy Bolt (World) - Bolts of pure light and heat which can inflict serious damage on the level of a powerful laser.

Shield of Force (World) - A barrier of energy that allows Flame to protect himself from harm.

Shattering Palm (World) - A close-range attack/strike which enables Flame to break solid objects through sheer kinetic force. Originally meant against Kaisoken, this move can break Power Armor and even Ascendancy ground vehicles as well.

Cone of Silence (World) - A cone of telekinetic force that prevents sound from escaping, thus providing a space for him and others to talk in without outside folk overhearing.

Power Electronic Equipment (World) - With just a touch, Flame can power electronic equipment using only his own magic, acting as battery and transformer, and extension cord.

Prenatural Calmness (Mind) - Flame can use Magic to keep his composure in circumstances that would shatter another person, allowing him to act calmly, though not necessarily rationally, in a terrifying situation.

Character Traits

Observer of Human Nature - Flame's abusive treatment by his father, then his superiors, as well as the kindness shown to him by Ashton and the other Star Marines, have given him some sense of Human actions and feelings, allowing him to keenly observe whether a person is being sincere and their motives if they are not. But these observations are not infallible, and Flame can be paranoid or self-deceiving at times...

Marksman and Sniper - Flame is good at hitting a specific spot on an enemy with almost any ranged weapon or his own magic.

Trained Endurance - Abuse can sometimes deaden one to pain and in the world of the Ascendancy Military, that is an asset. So Flame was subjected not just to harsh military training, but also forced to undergo 'torture resistance courses' which consisted of enduring pain for hours on end to improve his pain tolerance, although, at the same time, he was given the right diet and exercise to improve his physical health. This gave him the ability to, well, endure burdens that would bring down an adult.

NPC Character Sheet

Name: Snow Cecil

Age: 14

Physical Description:


Important items: Normal Clothes, Ballistics Vest, Coilgun Pistol, Monomolecular Knife, Omnitool, Holographic Camera, Recorder, and Player. Also, a large amount of Galactic Credits.

Short Bio: A child, wandering the Galactic Frontier. A child, who seems to know everything. A child, whose allegiance is unknown, but certainly not with Moonstrike.

[Anything else is REDACTED due to Spoilers]

Spell List:

Supernal Vision (High) - The Mage can see all Magic, identify what School it is, and the strength of the spell.

Enchantment (High) - Snow can give an object magical powers; said powers are any of his spells or a spell lent by a willing partner.

Project Senses (Timespace) - Snow Cecil can project his senses in a six-meter (twelve-foot) sphere radiating from his body. He can hear, see, smell and otherwise sense anything in this radius, including enemies behind, above, or under him. This spell can be enchanted into objects.

Bullet Time (Timespace) - Snow can slow down time long enough to dodge bullets and other fast-moving objects.

Learn Faster (Mind) - Snow Cecil can watch someone do something (fencing, shooting, even gardening) through his eyes or a holo-tape, and master the relevant skill for one to three posting rounds. This requires that his body be able to endure the requirements of said skill in the first place (no heavy lifting for him), so the utility of this spell is mostly limited to mental and social skills.

Detect Emotion (Mind) - Snow Cecil can see various emotions as colors that light up one's body in an aura. Red means anger, Pink means romantic affection, and Black is despair. This can be coupled with Project Senses and/or enchanted into objects.

Character Traits

The Tower, Rising - Snow Cecil is as intelligent as he is arrogant, and he is very arrogant. Even without his magic, he is well-read and can be insightful when not blinded by his emotions, and when given a subject that genuinely piques his interest, is determined to learn as much as he can about it. This determination extends to his objectives - When given a cause, he tries to pursue it to the very end, focusing uncommon energy on accomplishing his goals. And at the end of the day, he is a decent person.

The Tower, Falling - Snow is as arrogant as he is intelligent, and he is very intelligent. However, his arrogance causes him to overreach, to believe that he can do more than his own talents can support. And so he falls, and what he builds, what he accomplishes, comes crashing down whether in a moment of pique or a moment of panic. For Snow Cecil is his own worst enemy, and when he realizes this, his self-loathing outpaces both his arrogance and intelligence...

Tarak

Name: Tarak (Tear-ek)
Codename: Hunter Wolf
Age: 19 Almost 20
Physical Description: Standing at 6'7 and weighing 250 pounds this man is a tower of a man who has very dense muscles and strong frame, Tarak was born an imposing man, even at the ripe age of 11 he was at eye level with many adults' and could fight most to the ground with ease.

Big Brother

Important items:

Equipment

Spinal Cybernetics

- Used to interface with his Power armor and has a few other nifty features such as his Omni tool, a connection to his vitals, and a power source. Is made of these tough yet flexible metal plates that allow for a full range of motion without hindrance, and almost invisible while being underneath a thick shirt/jacket.

Armor of Wolf

Wolf Armor

Wolf Armor: A powerful suit of armor that is virtually impervious to most conventional small arms fire, as a square hit is the only thing that will actually damage the suit, if at all. The suit comes with many nifty features that make Tarak more combat effective: H.U.D, micro thrusters, powered exoskeleton, life support, Adaptive Camo shroud, and mag boots.

Adaptive Camo Shroud: A Large detachable shroud that can be placed around the armor, objects, or using the nanite skeleton inside, creates an invisible cover that stands about 3 feet tall and covers a 7-foot length. This shroud disrupts both thermal signatures and electromagnetic signatures to track the suit and to hide that this shroud is made of electronics.

Advanced H.U.D: The head of the suit contains thermal vision, night vision, a connection to his vitals, his ammunition counter, and a direct connection to his Omni-tool.

Micro Thrusters- The suit has micro thrusters put onto the pack on the back of the suit and on the legs. These were designed for use in vacuum of space so that you don't get stranded in space. If you're creative enough you can find a few more uses out of them as well.

Powered Exoskeleton- The suit has a powered exoskeleton that keeps it moving, as it is too heavy carrying all of its natural weight. This allows for Tarak to move as fast as he normally would without the armor, and not to feel encumbered at all.

Life Support- A life support system integrated directly into the suits pack, that can sustain Tarak 4 hours at a time before needing to resupply. It also includes heating, cooling, pressurization stabilizer, and has an adaptive oxygen filtration system, that can kill off airborne living organisms through heated emissions. When a hole is made in the suit that would destroy its integrity a durable see-through gel will fill the area. There is enough gel to fill up to a 3 square foot area hole. The helmet is sealed off from the rest of the suit, to allow for probable survival if the lower bodysuit is compromised.

Magboots- Powerful electromagnets that are placed at the bottom of the feet of the suit. When these magnets are activated, Tarak is able to control them with normal steps, as the magnets turn on and off with his leg movements.

Angel's Lyre

Angel's Lyre

A Slug thrower Assault rifle that holds 40 rounds in the main rifle. The rifle fires large rounds that are covered in plasma to allow deep penetration into all targets.

The weapon has an underslung 30 mm gun/launcher. As the gun has many different rounds that can be shot through the gun, as these are his favorites:

- Phosphorus rounds, these burn in a 5-foot area that burns in the air and destroyed filtration systems.
- High explosive rounds, these explode at the same level of a hand grenade and sends shrapnel and a concussive blast to those near it.
- Stun grenades, an explosive round that impacts and explodes as it creates a loud sound and a flash of bright light that blinds people for a few seconds.
- Rifle Round, a large rifle round can be fired through the lower gun as it can punch through most armor, however needs to be manually loaded with the second bolt for the lower gun.

Fail Naught

XR-Ulysses anti-material rifle.

A rifle that is 8 feet in length and weighs a solid 50 pounds. Fires a 30mm anti-armor plasma covered, depleted uranium rounds, that gives it additional punching power to tear through most known materials.

The scope is a high-tech piece of machinery that interfaces with the user's HUD, and Omni-tool to scale for wind factors, distance factors, barometric pressure, the gravity of any world, and even the curvature of the planet.

inventory

Galactic Credits - 10 thousand credits in digital form given by the former Rau've warden.

Arc lighter- An old arc lighter that seems to be used to be far beyond its year. Yet it still has used in it, as it seems very well maintained.

Short Bio:

A Tough Life Breeds a Strong man

The Den of Thieves

Tarak was born on a backwater slum planet too far from any of the main traffic ways for the Ascendancy to really do much policing there. Making the Galirus System a den of thieves, crooks, and criminals, the perfect place for a child.

Tarak was born to a prostitute mother who died during his birth because of complications, and a Spacer father who left Tarak's mother after a one night stand. Tarak was given to an orphanage, where most kids were treated like shit. Fed 1/4 rations, normally kids were starved to near death and then forced to work and panhandle just to be allowed to eat. Tarak hated life here, many of these kids came here because they had nothing, Tarak treated them like siblings, as most here were no older than 4-5 years old, he, 6, was like a big brother as he was the one to steal for them, work harder for them, and even bleed for them when one of them was caught stealing.

Yet news of everyone keeping a bit of money to get away spread, and you know what they say when you steal from a Den of Thieves. Many of the kids were beaten to literal death by the 'caretakers', while others were sold off. Leaving Tarak one option when they left him for last, that night the orphanage burned. Tarek did save money, just enough to get an arc lighter, as he smoked the entire orphanage and blocked off all the doors. He killed his tormentors as he walked away, now with no family, no place to go, and nothing to eat, he took to the streets. After all, those same streets he worked never changed, they always have their jaws open, waiting.

As Tarak grew he took many different jobs, ranging from morally proper jobs such as delivering packages and being an errand boy, to the more morally diluted jobs. Some of the most noteworthy jobs include his smuggling, his prostitution, and his work with Mercenaries. His most consistent job was when he was taken in by the Incubus Mercenary Company, for his hunting and killing of the Hunter, a murderer and a target who had killed hundreds who had chased him down.

The Incubus took him in, a kid who is no older than 10 and standing at 5'8, with a hardened heart and combat skill is more than an asset, after all, a child is malleable. As Galirus was a horrid place in this Galaxy, it either eats you alive, or you become like a hungry demon. Tarak had confirmed over 100 jobs completed and over 200 confirmed kills within his 3 years of his employment with the Incubus Mercenary Group, all of this death under the name of Hunter Pawn. Being given all the gear he would even need, any weapon he wanted, any armor he chose, and any transportation that could be asked, as he was tasked to be the long arm of any client, never able to outrun them, as no matter how deep you may go, Hunter Pawn will dig you out, dead or alive.

During his time as a mercenary, he got a set of power armor for himself, to really feel apart of the whole mercenary group feel. The group even gave the armor a nifty paint job and did it up to the specifications he wanted, to really feel like apart of the family. This armor never really left Tarak as he felt safe in it, not because it was impervious to all forms of conventional injury, but for the reason, it is the first thing he was proud of, that and his arc lighter that he keeps on a chain, just in case.

However during one of these missions, he was caught out in a trap, set specifically for him. He was supposed to go on a simple mission to grab and bag a wanted fugitive, simple stuff. Yet, the mission felt weird, as Tarak has a sick sense, something was off, like someone was looking at the back of his head, as he kept patient watch as he was waiting for his mark, that sixth sense flared as he lurched his upper body out of the way as he saw a bullet smash through the concrete wall, as it was aiming for his center back. He let out a click of the tongue as he wiped around and let off a heavy burst of rounds towards the assailant, but found he was facing around 10 men with guns aimed at him, this had to be a trap. As the men let loose onto Tarak, his armor was more than a match for this level of firepower, after all, it was rated to stop a Coil rifle, but the sheer amount of fire slammed Tarak into a wall as he saw multiple men run-in with concussion rifles and continually fire off round after round, keeping him pinned to the wall as another group of men restrained him to the ground. Tarak bucked and kicked to get out of their hold, yet to no avail. As someone came over and took off Tarak's helmet and injected him with a sedative and knocked him out.

A Prison Like Any Other

Tarak awoke in a small grey cell far bigger than most prison's the Galmar sector ever had. He scoffed as he paced the room and looked around and scanned the area for a way out, none. Tarak laid back down and waited for whoever was here to talk to him. As this was Tarak's first taste like in the care of the Ascendancy.

Here is one of the Ascendancy's Black sites, Tarak was experimented on humiliated, and tormented like he was nothing more than a piece of meat to a dog. Tarak never lashed out, as he knew from doing time in prison, even a peep means you get reprimanded. So he kept his head down, as the words the trainers put into him just pass through. Yet around a few months into the meat grinder, they call hell, Tarak started looking at the little kids around him. His eyes opened as he started to find these kids truly just kids, not child soldiers who went through his same pain, just kids taken from their families. With this revelation, Tarak started to take care of them like they were his own siblings.

He was almost 13 now, and all he wished to do was help all those around him. Kind of like this big brother instinct that was inside of him since the orphanage never died. He started to take care of the kids around him the best he could, carrying them when he needed to, encouraging them when he needed to, and giving some of the parts of his ration when they began to feel starved. The staff noticed the performance of the group increase, to the point where they found the kids here had strange quirks about them, this was probably something intended by the head scientist upon acquisition of these first batch of children. All candidates taken for this super soldier project seemed to have had some strange extraordinary talent. Some had great skills in strength, speed, or intelligence. Others were more intangible in nature, such as uncanny understanding of the battlefield, or, what Tarak would put into practice, his unnatural ability to defy the odds, and an uncanny ability to bring people together and lead.

After a year into the training of these soldiers, the scientists need to produce a working batch of super-soldiers, so they injected the children with the miracle liquid to have the kids be able to do magic. Each child seemed to have an attribute with magic, except Tarak. His abilities with magic were nil, as he was unable to manifest any conjuration of mana. They were to do tests on him to understand what is with him, yet the war started before they were able to. They decided to send out this batch of subjects as they sent Tarak off to another station to be tested on.

When he was moved to site Zeta Prime, he was introduced to the children there quickly. Knowing full well of Tarak's abilities as a calming agent to the kids, they did not test on Tarak immediately, knowing once they figure out his magic then they will be sent him out to fight in the front lines. Yet till then, Tarak took to tending with the kids there immediately, many of them have had terrible times here as he had started taking to tending to each one. Many seemed to have different struggles, some were near breaking because of the pressure while others have hardened themselves to stone. Tarak knew how to break every one of them out of their pains as he made sure each knew he was there. The worst had passed, and that it would be all okay, as big brother is here. Many different children clung to him like a sturdy pillar, as they found something to keep them going. Many times Tarak had taken the abuse for children, got them sweets by 'persuading' the scientists, and even had learned habits to help each kid there to cope with what is happening. He started to help others to learn how to help others, how to become stronger, and then eventually they wouldn't need him to keep them okay, they would be able to help each other, just like the twins.

Once the injections began again, they took Tarak off to test on him and found out he had this exceptional healing factor and an exceptional body. As they tested further they finally pinpointed his true magic, as he had a strange quirk with his magic, he had passive magic already innate to him, a rare breed. It was the ability to mitigate magic that affected him, as the scientists found his magic less than thrilling, and his aptitude to try and make magic is so abysmal, they decided to use him anyways, as a Vanguard. Tarak was given free rein with RND to enhance his old gear from Incubus to his specifications. He already had plenty of things he used with it, his main concern was his deployment as a Vanguard, so he had them up its armor, giving and exoskeleton, and extra thrusters, he had them modify the life-support to kill off microorganisms that could enter through the filtration system. As he was given a weapon of his own design and was sent off to war. Tarak wished he could say goodbye to the kids, but they will be asleep for too long, and they were rushing him out, all he could do was give a slight prayer, as they gave him the gear he required, plus some of his personal belongings he still had and was sent off.

Home Sweet Home

Once Tarak was released and sent out to war, his feet never stopped moving. He was sent to rush into battle. Battle after battler, like a machine, he never let up, not for the fact he wished to be here, nor the fact the big wigs were telling him to do so, no, he was here for the children beside him and behind him. He rushed forward to spare those who had been with him at the start and had been fighting for this year or so. He missed the kids he met at the Black site, he missed the twins and their strange behavior, yet where ever Tarak went he wasn't missing family, as many of the kids warmed up to him and treated him as a big brother. He helped them learn how to fight well in this battlefield, he made sure they were alright, and even in the end, he pulled strings with old colleges in his old days he saw to get candy for the kids. As the number of the kids grew, they started getting split up into smaller groups, Tarak was quick on the upkeep, as he started teaching other children how to lead, how to make sure they keep others okay, and who to talk to for candy. As many of the kids left, Tarak was also one who had to leave, as he was going to be the captain of a new group of super-soldiers that had been just sent out.

And so the Ascendancy started to use Tarak as a tool to keep their other toys from breaking. Tarak had spent his time fighting with these kids, and acting as a big brother while also being a tool of the Ascendancy of Man in this war. Tarak never minded it though, as long as he could keep as many of them safe as he could, he didn't care, no matter how long it took, he was here for the long haul, after all, the hope is that when this war is over they will let the kids go, yet Tarak knew that wouldn't be the case. During one of his deployments, he met some old friends, the twins. He hadn't seen them in almost a year now, as the first thing he noticed was that they grew, but also the fact they didn't recognize him, he was off-put until he realized he was wearing his armor. He forgot about it, now it just feels like his skin to him, so he pulls off his helmet and introduces himself again. As a small reunion happened between Tarak and the children of Site Zeta Prime.

Soon after he had started to take people into his little army of 'demons'. Stating combat effectiveness of all are raised in this case, rather than sending him around to 'babysit' them and leave them after a few months. So it started with the kids from Zeta Prime then slowly as kids were introduced to the project and released to war, many had met the little army of kids known by the soldiers as, "The Army of Demons". As the army grew Tarak had started to take more of a Big Brother/Father role, as he was quite literally the oldest her, he had even taken it to the point of persuading requisition officers to start gaining the recourses for the kids. Sweets, ammo, replacement gear, and upgrades when the kids needed it for their growing bodies. Other than this, life was 'pleasant', as pleasant as Tarak's life has ever been. During this war he had grown a little shining to the Iris and Samuel, they seemed so genuine to who they were, and they seemed like extra special kids who every now and again forgot he wasn't their real Big Brother. All the kids he had been with made him genuinely happy, he wished to at least give them more. Yet, good dreams don't last forever, as he had to watch many kids die, many of which hurt him deeply, yet for the others he never showed it, always smiling, giving them the big brother they need.

Near the end of the war, Samuel had heard from some soldiers there was going to be this large joint operation to finish off the Alien forces at the star system Proxima. Tarak didn't think finish off was ever the right word here, Tarak knew for a long time the Ascendancy was losing, this had to be a last-ditch effort to try and turn the war around. Tarak spent this time before helping the kids, getting them ready, and giving them a bit of extra candy, make sure they are happy, as he allowed Samuel to spread the news this might be it. Tarak couldn't break their excitement like that, even though he knew he should like Monarch would have told him to do. Tarak threw himself into the fray as far as he could, taking the heat for the kids, after all, a big brother needs to protect don't they?

The mission they would be sent on is one of the most important mission anyone here was ever given, as they were sent in with a battalion of other Child soldiers to take over the Rau've Flagship 'Indignation'. However, Tarak realized this mission was doomed from the start before they even boarded as he felt his spine tingle like mad. They were captured quickly after the initial boarding, as many of them taken down quickly in the ensuing firefight. Many of the kids went down, one by one, Tarak did his best to protect everyone he could, the Twins, Ashton, Flame, and many others fell, as the Rau've let loose onto Tarak, as he had to hold his ground if he moved then the kids behind him would be caught in the onslaught of fire. As soon he started to overwhelmed by all the angles of fire, as they beat him down, he never bent a knee, as they continued to charge him as they finally wrestled Tarak to the ground and inject him with a sedative…just like last time.

A Brother's Duty

Tarak Awoke, again in a prison. Except this place is different, lots of plants and stuff must be Rau've. They treated them well, as Tarak actually talked to their captors and took in the situation, as he asked them to provide entertainment and playtime with the others, as most will not actually do anything. The requests seemed to have been well received, as they were already planning to do that anyway. As when they were allowed to meet with the others, Tarak took immediately to looking after everyone and guiding others to people they know. Iris soon found him as she started to bawl into his chest like many already have, yet she seemed weak as he set her down gently to help the others cope as well. Up until his eyes landed on Samuel and he saw the literal pain in his eyes as Tarak made his way over to Samuel. Tarak started to bring him over to Iris as he sees her nearly crying her eyes out as he leads both Samuel and Iris to each other and let them reunite. AS he let them go as he continued off onto his own to help the others.

Tarak spent this time talking to the Rau've and learning their language more fluently and spoke to them as soldiers would. Learning that soon a treaty will be struck and that the kids will be left to fend for themselves. Tarak was worried at first until the Rau've promised them new homes. Many of the kids originally didn't want to go, many for different reasons, however, one of the most powerful ones is the want to see the Ascendancy pay for them taking their futures away. Tarak knew he wouldn't be able to convince them to take the Rau've up on their offer, so he decided to go with them. After all, what kind of big brother would leave their younger siblings to do the fighting. So Tarak pulled some old connections with some solo mercenaries to get a clue on a resistance movement, Moonstrike. He found the others as he told them of Moonstrike, as that will be their line to follow. A rumor of a rebellion.

Spell List:

Hunter's Resilience (High)-

Hunter's Resilience

A passive spell that makes Tarak unique. He has a thin layer of magic constantly surrounding him, this layer of magic is quite unique as it gives him a strange resilience to magic. May it be because of the nature of High magic, or may it be the presence of magic, but anything he wears around his body will be covered in this thin area of warding magic that lessens the impact of magic on him.

Mind magic is slightly less effective, offensive magic is slightly dampened, and healing magic is less potent. Yes, this is two-way magic, both helpful spells and harmful spells are less effective. The effectiveness of the spells are reduced to the point where they are only 80% as effective against him. This does not include illusions cast onto the world like holograms, alterations of physical objects to attack him, and the high magic healing cancelation damage.

This does include all magics that are affecting his physical being specifically, so gravity manipulation of the area still includes him and will be dampened, and him stepping through a portal will cut around 1/5 of its time away from it's time it can be up, if there is one.

High Energy Coating (High)-

High Energy Cloaking

High Energy Coating (High)- Tarak is able to coat any object he is holding with High magic energy. This gives it the properties of plasma as well as the ability to stop magical healing. When used on his hands the plasma will act as a barrier and allow his hands to act like Plasma bladed weapons and can be used to block and deflect Plasma-based attacks.

Supernal Vision (High)-

Supernal Vision

Supernal Vision (High)- Tarak is able to see magic when Supernal Vision is activated. It can identify the school it is from based on the aura produced from the spell or magic and based on the size or density of the aura it can help to determine the power of a spell.

Magitech Creation (HIgh)-

Magitech Creation

Magitech Creation (HIgh)- Tarak has learned how to create and power Magitech. He doesn't use it in much of his gear, the only real thing is that he uses it for is to have his repair magic on his gear in case it is damaged.

Lapse in Judgment (Mind)-

Lapse in Judgment

Lapse in Judgment (Mind)- This spell takes advantage of the brain's natural inability to process all the little details around them without overworking itself and burning out. Instead of making Tarak invisible it instead makes his movements difficult to perceive since the brain doesn't recognize him as relevant information, thus making it appear as if they never noticed Tarak. In a fight, this is also effective as it will appear as if they just zoned out until the very moment Tarak is to strike.

Repair (Change)-

Repair

Repair (Change)- Tarak restores an object to its original state 24 hours ago. The more deteriorated or damaged the object is the higher the cost of repair. Tarak needs to have contact to repair the object. The size he can repair is up to a car, however, this can possibly drain him mattering on the damage done to it.

Character Traits:

Character Traits

The Luck of the Devil:

Description: No matter what might be said about Tarak and the misfortune he has been sent through, one thing has always been known, he has the Devil's own luck. May it be that he has stolen it for himself, or he was just born to be lucky, one thing is for certain, if the odds aren't in his favor, he can always pull through, as long as there is still just a singular chance.

A Born Leader:

Description: Tarak has a natural affinity to inspire and lead, his skills are ingrained into him as he has a soul to comfort and a will that can spur people to follow. His skills can lead people to do what must be done, and allow them to feel confident even in their most trying time.

Wisdom of the Wolf:

Description: Tarak's insight and instincts are beyond that of a normal person's. He is able to read deeper into most things as his intuition is that of a seasoned detective. His deductions skills were fostered from his years as a bounty hunter and mercenary and then honed down when dealing with the many different children and people while being used by the Ascendancy. Yet his skills weren't just deduction it also is supernatural hunting instinct. His thoughts on their movement, how they'd react, and even where they are almost seem like he can read their mind. Yet this comes from years of experience from life or death experiences where a wrong move might mean he misses his mark, or worst, he becomes the prey.

Determination:

Description: Through all hardship, Tarak has never lost his will and drive. He has resistance to all forms of physical and mental attempts to 'break' or control him. While his spirit and body are strong, through years of having mind magic used on him, Tarak has gained a greater resistance to mind magic entering and doing as it pleases.

Master of Movie Fighting: Gunkata

Description: A form of firearm and martial arts combat that focuses on close-range gunfighting with a mixture of martial arts grapples and strikes for effectiveness in most forms of close to mid-range gun-fights.

Golden Body

Description: Tarak's body is literally at the peak of what it can be, living a life that is more difficult than any other, his body is a testament to his life. It's not one made for vanity nor showy, his body is a slab of muscle that has done everything he needs it to do and the scars prove as such. He is at his peak and will stay here for a very long time, he doesn't tire easily, is very strong, and has fantastic dexterity and agility. However, he has something very peculiar about his body, he is able to regenerate beyond normal means making mere stabs and bullet wounds will heal after a few moments, and the body will quickly stabilize things like missing organs and limbs rather than them being immediately lethal, however, he can have only one thing being stabilized at a time. A thought can be had it might be attached to the spinal Cybernetics upon his back that he dislikes people touching.

NPC Character Sheet

Name: William Windsor

Age: 23

Physical Description:


Important items:

Ascendancy Charter of Trade - A Contract with the Ascendancy's Government, signed by the first Ascendancy President-for-Life, Corrin Herbert, giving the Windsor Autonomous Trading Fleet extensive powers to trade in the Outer Territories of Human Space, including the exclusive right to trade with 'Aliens'. This was 80 years ago, when Xenophobia was still seeding itself in the Ascendancy's minds, but hasn't been nullified since, thanks to Ascendancy inattention and hefty bribes paid to the Ascendancy Congress.

Steelweave Formal Clothes - Several sets of formal clothes for diplomatic occassions, made up of thread as strong, if not stronger, than steel.

Ballistics Vest - A ballistics vest that can withstand even a small Coilgun Pistol.

Coilgun Pistol - Coilgun pistol enlaid with ivory and non-perfected electrum.

Plasma Pistol - A gun that fires superheated plasma.

Short Bio:

The Windsor Autonomous Trading Fleet

The first two centuries of the Ascendancy of Man were of construction, colonization, and exploration, as the 'Spacewarpers' of the Human Fleet opened up new horizons. Over time, autonomous trading companies grew in the fringes of Human Space, pushing the frontiers of expansion. But when the Rau've and Kaisoken were finally discovered, along with their equivalent or greater power to the Ascendancy, the first President-for-Life, Corrin Herbert, began to move towards centralization, nationalizing several trading companies and forcing those left to consolidate underneath Henry Windsor, one of the leading explorers and merchants of the fringe worlds.

Together, these trading companies formed a formidable fleet, well-armed against Space Pirates (mostly Aliens and renegade Humans) and enough to endanger the Ascendancy itself if it came to war. And so Corrin Herbert was forced to make concessions: The Windsor Autonomous Trading Fleet will be allowed to continue its operations, provided that it provide a large payment to the Ascendancy of Man and logistical support to its future wars. This was resented by Corrin's two successors, Elijah and Emmanuel Thoreau, but neither of them made any move to withdraw said concessions, being enmeshed with their own plans.

Even the coming of the Rau've/Kaisoken War did not endanger the Windsor Autonomous Trading Fleet, as the latter paid a large payment to the Ascendancy in order to avoid giving logistical support. This was a good thing, as the Windsors had already decided that the future lay in economic cooperation with Aliens (albeit with Humans on top) instead of making war with them. So they stood by, consolidating their power on the Southern Fringe of Human Space, well away from the Kaisoken and Rau've territory. And the war ended with the Windsor Autonomous Trading Fleet more powerful than ever, with only the Ascendancy's Carrier Fleet able to contest them.

Now, the Windsors cannot avoid a collision with the upper levels of the Ascendancy; money can no longer overcome fear that the Trading Fleet, made up of Xenophiles and immensely rich and powerful, would conduct a coup. And the Windsors knew it, so they decided to conduct a coup for real, contacting disaffected elements among the fringe worlds and other dissidents only to find they had already been contacted by a new organization, Moonstrike, an organization that seemed to have access to Ascendancy tech and military hardware. And so all activity from them stopped. Was it jealousy, or were they biding their time for something else?

William Windsor was born to the Windsor Family, which was descended from several Old Earth Royal Families (European, Indian, and African ones). Though well-educated, William's mother, Elizabeth Windsor, taught her child to hide the true extent of his skills from all but a few people within his inner circle; this was later revealed to be a reaction to the mysterious kidnappings of prodigy children that occured in the years before the Rau've war. It also helped that William's focus was on Politics, not on 'common genius topics' like Science or Art or Engineering. Nevertheless, there were a few close calls where he was nearly found out, but thankfully, he was lucky enough to make sure those all came to nothing.

When the war against the Rau've was lost; which was than a year ago now, Elizabeth gave up her position as the head of the family to William, who immediately began planning Rebellion against the Ascendancy but found out that Moonstrike had been doing that first. He was then contacted by a young boy named Snow Cecil, who after [SPOILER] and [SPOILER], told him about [SPOILER].

And so he began doing, well, [SPOILER]

Character Traits (Will Replace Exceptional Skills):

Refuge in Audacity - Windsor, despite his smarts and attempts to put a poker face, lacks subtlety and knows it. His intrigues and movements are blatant, obvious, and only the barest attempts are made to hide them, and he knows it too. So he makes the most of it, trying to make sure when he moves, it is so audacious that the enemy is blindsided by the sheer ridiculous daring of what he does. However, this approach, while taking great risks for great rewards, also means that he risks great failures as well as great heights.

Greatest of the Independent Traders - In order to achieve the position he has, Windsor has to be good at something more than annoying people and dramatic movements, and that something more is the art of trading itself, an art which requires a combination of charisma and logistical ability. While he knows he can't match a true Admiral in tactics, he also knows he can pay, feed, and maintain a fleet large enough to give multiple true Admirals pause.

Idealistic Commitment - Despite the darkness of the galaxy, despite the dark deeds needed to sustain society, the fact is that Windsor knows that people can be lifted up to greater heights, societies can be reformed, and that while having the strength of conviction isn't everything, maintaining it can allow one to endure the setbacks the universe will eventually throw at him. This idealism and conviction sustains him even when faced with Mind Magic directed against them, and allows him to inspire similar resistance among those he talks to...

[The Man Emperor]

Finbarr Callaghan

Name: Finbarr Callaghan
Age: 17 (appears as 30 when under the effects of Shapeshifting)
Physical Description:

Normal Appearance

Finbarr is 5'8" tall and weighs 65 kilograms. Overall, he has a modest form.

Shapeshifted

When using shapeshifting to alter his human appearance, he becomes 6'1", but he still weighs the same.

Important items:

Items

- Armor: Standard issue body armor.
- Twin energy swords: Two plasma blades that can be turned on and off. Light and easy to carry around, if not having a strange balance of weigh when wielded.
- Pictures of family and friends. Believe it or not, he has a Rau've friend.
- A diary containing all of his experiences.
- Credits: A few thousand worth of money given by the Rau've, in addition to 20 million galactic credits derived from Ashton and Flame's playing of the stock market.
- Plasma pistol: Definitely only for self defense.

Short Bio:
Finbarr Callaghan was born to a middle income family in an underground city in the Saturnian Moon of Titan. As an only child, he was extremely cherished by his parents, and because of his loving upbringing in a rather friendly environment, Finbarr would grow up to have a heart of utter compassion and a positive outlook in life. And, to be fair, he truly was blessed in the lottery of destiny; he had a family that was quite well off, he attended a private school that was built into a space station orbiting the moon, had true friendship, and did not have any bad experiences early on in life. As such, he would see the universe as a place of opportunity, a realm where there is always a silver lining if one knows where to look. One might say that he is detached from reality, but no one can deny that this kind of thinking is the reason why he was good at what he does. Friends looked to Finbarr for comfort, and he spent quite an amount of his allowance when giving to beggars. All was well, life was good. Finbarr dreamt of going to theater art, and eventually become an actor. After all, his cousin, Connor, was also one, and was already starring in a few movies.

Those dreams would end up becoming wishful thinking, however. Finbarr was kidnapped by unseen agents on his way back home before his fifteenth birthday, and was injected with Kaisoken dust, giving him magical powers. The Ascendancy said that all of this was for betterment of humanity, even as he and his fellow youngsters were forced into a grueling program. Despite everything, however, the temptation to lose his humanity in the depths of horror and torture was ignored. He would help squad mates that hurt themselves, even if it meant a scolding from the higher ups. He would then be forced to fight, and even then, it took a lot of "convincing" with Mind Magic to get him to actually kill anything. It took a while for him to finally accept that he had no choice, and did the missions anyway, even with a heavy heart.

The battle of Proxima Centauri would be his last deployment. He was amongst the first to be captured, jumping out of a breach portal only to be immediately grappled by a Rau've soldier.

When he came to be, he looked around to see the friends that he had made in the camps in prison as well. At first, he expected to be abused yet again, but the Rau've were unexpectedly compassionate... just like himself. It would be reported that all he did was cry tears of relief as soon as the Rau've showed them kindness rather than wrath.

Now that he had been released, Finbarr had found his former dreams an impossibility, to return to his beloved mother and father a paradox. To this end, despite whatever his conscience may say, he will avenge himself, and every other child whose future had been ripped away from them by the Ascendancy.

Spell List:

Spells

Breach Portal (Timespace): Finbarr is able to open either two small portals (large enough for someone to put their hand inside), or one person sized portal at any given time. These portals can either lead to visible locations within 100 meters, or to a place that Finbarr is very familiar with. The exception to these principles is that if Finbarr detects that someone he is 'connected' to is in danger via Retrocognition, he will be able to project a breach to their location, even if he is not familiar with it.

Energy Blast (World): Finbarr is capable of projecting beams of energy from his hands, which are powerful enough to hit with the strength of a heavy laser.

Spacetime Lockdown (Timespace): Encapsulates up an entity in a cuttable dimensional pocket space via a beam of energy for 5 seconds. While inside, captured entities are unable to interact with the rest of the universe and vice versa.

Retrocognition (Timespace): Finbarr has a chance of being able to sense when someone he is connected to is in mortal danger. This connection refers to friendship, romance, or familial ties.

Shapeshifting (Change): Finbarr is able to turn to any kind of animal, though this requires practice for each type. Currently, he can be a cat, a lizard, and rat. In addition, he is also able to alter his human appearance to a limited degree. Usually, he uses shapeshifting to hide his true age.

Chronoshift (Timespace): Finbarr is able to shift back into any point he was in within the 10 seconds before casting, reversing injuries that were sustained prior to Chronoshift being used while retaining all memory of what has transpired. Chronoshift is usable in between cooldowns of 2 minutes each.

Character Traits:

Character Traits

Master Swordsman: Finbarr was trained as a master duelist, taking advantage of his small, nimble frame and Timespace Magic to be one of the most dangerous sword wielders amongst the Star Marines. While most individuals that still dare use melee weapons in such an advanced age would be gunned down long before they got close to their targets, Finbarr would not, what with his ability to cross engagement distances in the blink of an eye. As such, he is excellent when dueling with singular foes, though even he has limits, namely the fact that once he portals to a location, his exit point could be intercepted. In addition, he cannot endure damage as much as the likes of Tarak or Narvia; Finbarr is more well suited for settling fights quickly.

Deceptive Acting: For Finbarr, speaking lies are as easy as breathing, and pretending to be someone else is, apparently, part of his baggage. Long skilled in theatrics, he couples this with his Shapeshifting Magic, making him a good pick for infiltrations and undercover missions. Not even lie detection machines could find fault in him; telepathic magic would be required to sniff out his true intentions.

[Landaus Five-One]

Narvia F. Steven-Zahrin

---

_{” I am Navi. I hope you stay and listen to what I have to say. Please?"}

---

Name:
Narvia F. Steven-Zahrin

Full Name:
Narvia Folspear Steven-Zahrin

Nickname:
Navi

Nikolas R. Zahrin created this nickname for Narvia to smile on her face from the predicament she finds herself in. It has a dual purpose, and it's a call sign and a nickname in one. Narvia is a shorter version of her first name. The letters in bold are the reason for the nickname, call sign of Narvia.

Age:
17, Oct 21, 2459 AD

Narvia’s Appearance

Narvia's hair is extremely long that goes past her lower back. She wears her hair in a ponytail most of the time, tied it up with a white hair tie that her mother bought her. Her hair bangs are too long that usually get in the way of her sight if she's not too careful. Narvia's eyes show a vibrant innocence, cautiously living her hectic life and with a fire of determination in wanting to reconnect with her family. She hasn't lost this innocence throughout everything she's been through, included what her father did to her.

Narvia has daddy issues because she learned why Conner never paid attention to her and was constantly working. It still scares her that her dad absolutely hated her guts, but her mother loved her dearly. Her appearance is about being in the Dragon's Brigade as a soldier because her rank is private first class. It's a Black Ops Brigade that is fully autonomous and gets specific perks for its victories. She has a piece of identification on her clothes on the back of her combat t-shirt that shows she is still a part of the Dragon's Brigade.

All Dragon Brigade soldiers, including her, had another identified feature to show they were a part of the Dragon's Brigade Fleet, and their eyes would shift to be a Dragon's eye. The iconography on her back of her shirt shows a dragon's head breathing fire up into the air. It is one of the most identifiable features of her combat fatigues.

Additionally, her combat fatigues were reinforced with Augmented TID-A, Black Ops Armor. Her female combat uniform is non-conventional, and most of all, female military uniforms usually have skirts; hers has combat pants primarily. Narvia does wear dresses, but only when she wants to wear them and only for her casual wear instead of her combat uniform. The Dragon's Brigade heavily modified the necessary uniforms with Augmented TID-A, Black Ops Armor for female soldiers, and Augmented TID-B, Black Ops Armor for male soldiers. She also wears a modified dress military uniform with a skirt, as long as she doesn't have to use it in combat situations.

Narvia's figure is good-looking for a girl her age, which she does enjoy. It is because she looks like a younger version of her mother, Lana. She'll probably grow up to be a beautiful woman. However, it'll take a while for that to happen. Her body language shows people how she feels most of the time and has an elegant way of walking or running.

Narvia gets a bit nervous about looking when people stare at her for too long; it causes her to blush in embarrassment. Her smile is breathtakingly sweet for someone who desperately misses all the people in her life to find her way home. Her voice is undoubtedly charming and highly cute when she speaks with a thick, rich accent from a highly wealthy family in the Ascendancy. It is hard to pinpoint the family she's from since many corporate families are in the Ascendancy. She gets highly nervous around others who aren't in the Dragon's Brigade or aren't her biological mother or older sisters because she wants to reunite her family.

Narvia's sleepwear is as cute as she acts most of the time, and it is pajamas with adorable baby animals on them, with access to a seal plushie and bunny slippers to complete the set. She has a singular black dress in her entire outfit selection because it looks beautiful on her. In the particular picture above, but she wears that dress only when there's downtime or requiring to go to a ball type of event.

Narvia's Combat Outfit

The picture in this hider is talked about in her appearance above it.

Narvia’s Casual look and outfit

Height:
5’3”

Weight:
116 lbs

Body Type:
Straight

Hair Color:
Black

Eye Color:
Green

Birthmark/Scar(s):
Narvia has a birthmark on her left arm that is treated as a bad omen. Her father's side of the family is highly superstitious of this birthmark. It has three stars surrounding a triangle, and it means she'll have the worst luck within the family. She has scarring all over her back from high-ranking officers within the Ascendancy's High Command, and it was because of what she was doing naively and didn't know that was a punishable crime. She has a tattoo on her top left shoulder with a flower design, similar to her mother's birthmark.

Important Item(s):

The Items, she has on herself

Galactic Credits:

Narvia has 2,500 Galactic Credits in a digital form given to her by a former Rau've Warden. If anything, she'll use the money given to her sparingly because it would be a pain to use it all in one shopping trip. However, by her friends in the Star Marines, specifically Ashton and Flame, she gained an overwhelming amount of Galactic Credits, 20 million.

The Journey to the Stars, Necklace:

Lana gave her daughter this necklace, but her mother was in tears for some odd reason. It has rudimentary silver and bronze mixed into a distinct creation called the Journeying Star Cross. The Journeying Star Cross is made for children forced out of their homes by one of their parents. Lana was disheartened lying to her daughter, or bad things were going to happen. Her mother said were these words to her daughter, ' You will always be welcomed back on Mars, sweetie.'

Lana was distraught, couldn't hold herself together when she felt as if she was reading from a script because it shows what will happen to Narvia if she ever returns to Mars.

The Enigma Codex:

The Enigma Codex is an omnitool that is specialized for field operations among the Dragon's Brigade Fleet. It helps Narvia keep up to date with any going on with the Dragon's Brigade Fleet. The Codex has a unique display feature, and it is a mini-encoded dragon that gives her advice and talks cutely and funny to her. Draggy is the Dragon's Brigade Fleet's mascot from the Dragon's Brigade Iconography since it is a dragon breathing fire up in the air. She can contact any of the Dragon's Brigade Fleet members with a simple name recognition code for the individual.

The code is randomly changed, but it frequently starts with her callsign with about five numbers beside it. The recognition code isn't required to contact her Godfather, the Brigade's leader, Nikolas R. Zahrin. The Dragon's Brigade uses the Enigma Codex Set of Omnitools. They are optimized for each soldier that joins willingly or is forced to join them.

The Brigade hasn't told Narvia was placed in their Brigade forcibly and count her as one to be protected. It classifies her as a willingly joined soldier of the Brigade over the other classification. The other type is Conscript since that's the conclusion of people who are forced into military service without a choice in the matter.

The Enigma Codex’s Feature Set

The Enigma Codex feature set makes it highly unique to the other omnitools in the omnitools of the Ascendancy. It has access to communication, calculation, and augmented reality navigation with two subset features within it. These first of this subset feature of the augmented reality navigation allows her to access sixteen cartoon channels, three strategy games, including chess, checkers, and one of the most popular video games in the Ascendancy.

The other feature that Narvia has accessed to an extensive database or data bank of information on spells. These include the ones she has mastery over and ones she still needs to get the hang of them. Nikolas has an inferred list of the magic spells power and how to best use each one by slight hints. There's an extensive database on magical-based creatures or objects that you shouldn't mess with, or death is painfully imminent. Dekriem, the Soul Destroyer, is the first on the list since it's an ancient dragon living on Draken'vina that you shouldn't mess with at all. The other race is called the Kaiosken, but they both have a similar warning of, avoid these things like the plague or else.

Narvia has limited access to a database of any plans or any other notions of her superior officer and handler, Nikolas R. Zahrin. It only gives necessary details on these plans and not in full details. The only ones allowed full access to the Dragon's Brigade Fleet plans are only of high rank. The basic mission perimeters are incredibly cryptic to anyone below Sergeant, of which Narvia is only a Private First Class.

Her Recognition Code: Navi58691 - Only her voice is recognized, and no one else's for the recognition code. As such, she's registered as a Dragon's Brigade Private First Class Soldier.

The Sigma, Coilgun Pistol

The Sigma is the coilgun pistol's name, and it was engraved on the top of it. The color of the gun's name is red, which is different from the actual weapon's paint job. The pistol's base paint job is silverish blue paint. She holds the gun in a defensive position, pointing it down in most cases. Only if she's in a combat situation because it's better to be prepared than not.

Daichi the Swift

Vina E. Zahrin crafted Daichi the Swift on the homeworld of her people by request of her firstborn's son request. Nikolas's gift to Narvia since she needed a better melee weapon than a tactical survival knife. It has two specific abilities, which she knows about but cannot use since she hasn't been trained well to use the weapon. Her eyes instantly caught how beautiful the blade is since it starts shimmering blue and goes through colors to be like a rainbow. She uses the sword when she is in close-quarters combat and not great at using this since it's Mastercraft in quality because it has a very hard-to-understand Nikolas's concept, the Art of the Sword.

One of the two abilities Daichi has access to is always active because it passively helps with hand-to-eye coordination by its namesake. Daichi is a pretty unusually potent melee weapon, and it can be gentle and light to match the wielder's personality and nature. There's a sheath, which it is in that has decorations on it. The Legends of her Godfather's homeworld, Draken'vina, has dragons everywhere on the sheath. It brightens up Narvia's day, and therefore she gave it the nickname of Elegant.

Plasma Pistol

She added this Plasma Pistol to her arsenal, but it has a smaller ammo capacity than the Coilgun pistol because it primarily uses Plasma Bolts and a Plasma Charging System. It is augmented to shoot the Plasma much hotter than usual by changing its color to a much darker color. The pistol's serial code is 38596011-EAH, indicating the original owner of it was Elaine. Berkeley's Younger Sister of the 11th Fleet, the Butchers, or in this case cowards.

Tactical Survival Knife

The knife is on her right arm, which is in its sheath attached to her Dragon's Brigade Combat Fatigues. It's a survival knife that's tactically focused, but she uses it for most tasks only because her magic can't do everything. She enjoys the slip-resistant handle, and it is a standard issue for all Dragon's Brigade Soldiers.

Augmented TID-A, Black Ops Armor:

TID-A is an augmented black ops armor for anyone in the Dragon's Brigade Fleet for added protection. The protection it gives to Narvia is slightly better than having no armor at all. It is highly durable, flexible, and comfortable for female members of the Dragon's Brigade Fleet. It has to be put underneath a shirt, and its stopping points are before the collar and the belly button in the front while it goes to Narvia's mid-back. Also, Narvia was given armored protectors for her knees to protect them.

The black-ops armor can handle small arms fire from pistols only. The withstanding number of rounds is a few more pistol rounds than a Ballistic Vest. The material it is made up of is different from what Ballistic Vests have in their construction.

Spell List:

Narvia's Magic

The Bow of Light (High)

The spell makes a magical construction in the form of a Longbow, which she can wield. The longbow's look has flowers that are frequently in bloom on either end of the bow. Pure Magical energy is affected by aerodynamics to alter its shots that make its projectiles arc through the air. These projectiles are made up of Silverlight, and every arrow released slowly depletes the Bow of Light's magical energy. The total projectile arrows it can fire are three before it dissipates.

Narvia needs to recover her magic energy before trying to reform the Bow of Light. She will make herself feel dizzy and have a high probability of fainting or pushing her magic too far, too quickly, by focusing on reforming the bow.

The Folspear (High)

This spell makes a magical construct in the form of a spear, which she can wield. The spear's shape is the same on the Gravia Military Company's Emblem, Symbol, and Logo. It has a flower brooch on it, which the Silverlight flowers are constantly in bloom while tied to it. When it hits an opponent, it depletes the magical energy of the Folspear slowly. The maximum number of hits it can handle is three before it dissipates.

Narvia needs to recover her magic before she tries to reform the Folspear. She will make herself feel dizzy and have a high probability of fainting or pushing her magic too far, too quickly, by focusing on the reforming of the Folspear.

Flowered Ground (High)

Flowered Ground is a warding spell, which invokes a protective barrier against magic. It sprouts Silverlight flowers from the ground, which are constantly in bloom. These flowers are ingrained into her memories, which she saw from her family's backyard garden of the mansion she lived in on Mars. The field's origin point is from her, and it goes out to 15 feet (4.57m) radius around her. Also, it has a calming effect on people within the barrier.

It's because of her innocence and needs to reunite with her family that is keeping her hopeful.

Magical Absorption (High)

Narvia has to use the properties of this spell to regain her magical energy by using this spell. She can only absorb the magic from the ground. Her limiter is why she can only absorb magic from one of the two points others can access. However, she has stressors that can be applied to the spell because she needs to concentrate or be exhausted, making absorption much slower. It limits by how much time she has to recharge her magic.

Gravity Disable (World):

There is a five-foot radius on her or a person in her visual range, and it'll happen when she casts it. It disables the gravity surrounding the person, which will cause them to float into the air. As if there's no gravity in a starship or on a planet, which is in that radius. The spell lasts much longer on Narvia than anyone else she targets with it. It stays close to an hour on herself and half the time on someone else, whoever she can see in her line of sight.

The maximum height someone can float up by this spell is at most thirty feet above the ground, but it has to be used on a planet. However, Narvia doesn't use this part of the spell since it only has an hour's time limit, and she doesn't want to fall to her death or break most of her bones. As such, it gives anyone the feeling of having no gravity, and it is fun. Narvia usually says, Hey Listen! when under the effects of the spell. Her saying that is a wonderment of how cute and endearing she is.

Fresh Water (Change):

This spell is cast to change fire into fresh, clean drinkable water. It shows, Narvia is incredibly kind to others and would instead use this magic to help them. It's why she uses it to stop the spread of fire and turn it into water. As long as there is a fire source around, she can turn it into water. She has always will put herself sometimes over others, which is why she has this spell.

Character Traits:
Draconic Sight: Narvia was given this biotech upgrade by Nikolas R. Zahrin while in the Dragon's Brigade Fleet. Narvia can see two times further, see in the infrared spectrum, and shift her eyes to look like a Dragon's eyes.

Pistols & Sword: Narvia was explicitly trained in Sword combat and wielded a Pistol correctly. Her Godfather's sword arts make her a novice, but they did instill in Nikolas' honor-bound traditions. Another thing that Nikolas instilled in her was it's better to be prepared than not.

Innocence: Narvia's innocence within her soul has kept her going throughout all the strife, dogmatic oppression inside of the Ascendancy. If it weren't for being in the Dragon's Brigade Fleet, her innocence would have been lost. She's optimistic and a bit pessimistic about the future to a fault, but it what makes her, herself. It is why she cries when something doesn't make sense or makes her deathly afraid of something.

Acquired Taste, Cooking: Narvia has an acquired taste of cooking different from other people's personal preferences when cooking a meal. The food she usually cooks is healthy, well-balanced food that keeps her stomach from grumbling. She only indulges herself now and then, involving more greasy foods. When eating meals cooked by Narvia, there is an effect that allows them to feel much better because her magic is in it. The love she holds for everyone and how innocent she is is included.

Personality:

Everything that happened to Narvia, her personality hasn't changed throughout her life. She's still very gentle, kind, too trusting, naive, and honest with people who want to listen to her. Narvia is so innocent, and it makes everyone melt at why she is on the battlefield. Her father scares her about how Conner treated her while living at the Hadley Estate. He constantly yelled at her, asked her why she read a book but didn't tell him she had a strange encounter with the unexplained.

Narvia desperately wants to reunite with her loved ones and find Nikolas, her Godfather, to ask why her father is so hateful and cruel. She does have memories within her heart that she cherishes thinking about her mother and older siblings. It frustrates her somewhat; she has to be so far from them at this integral point in her life because she would love to have another birthday with them. Her Godfather is incredibly cryptic most of the time, and she knew him.

Short Bio:

The Lifelong Innocence, Narvia.

The Birth of Narvia

Narvia was born on Mars, one of the Core Worlds of the Ascendancy, to her mother, Lana R. Hadley and Conner L. Hadley. She was the third-born daughter to her parents, who lived in a vast, highly secure estate on the planet. It had defenses out of the ass, which was nicknamed the Fort Knox of Mars. It can even survive planetary bombardment if people decided to try that. The Hadley Estate was armed forbear, and it felt like a maximum-security prison, which was defended by Conner's highly fanatical Gravia Military Company. The only ones allowed to leave home were Conner and Lana since they have the proper identification to enter the Estate. However, on the other hand, their children didn't have the proper identification even to leave the Estate.

None of the children knew this, but they couldn't leave home since Conner didn't want to create more identification data pads for the Estate. It would be better for his children to stay inside instead of exploring the wider world because they kidnapped children from the streets by some crazy people. However, Lana decided by herself, which was the only thing she could do to make her children happy have to stay home to their mother and work from the Estate. Conner allowed her to do this task since he had much more important things to do with the Gravia Military Company. Lana had a smile on her face when she had talked to her children after the important day of having a new little sister in their life. Narvia was sleeping cutely in the crib and was very healthy after they came home with the newborn child.

Narvia's older sisters asked their mother the sweet little girl's name, which they got the answer, Narvia Folspear Hadley. This name was given by their Godfather, Nikolas R. Zahrin, who was a sweet man even though he had a perpetuation of utterly being a cryptic guy. Her children agreed on their Godfather's cryptic nature, but it is primarily from where he lives in the Core Worlds, the world called Draken'vina. However, they didn't know Conner's plans' predetermined nature would end this peacefulness and unity.

It was five years later, on Narvia's fifth Birthday, her father was gone as usual. However, she was celebrating her Birthday with her older sisters, mother, and Jennifer V. Stoutfield. Even her Godfather made an appearance by giving her a message about visiting Mars and might be able to see her if he isn't busy. Nikolas was on an important assignment by the Ascendancy's High Command, even though he is a Rear Admiral in the Autonomous Fleet called the Dragon's Brigade. It was very odd to hear Nikolas' visit even though he was doing his rounds in Ascendancy's territory to get ready for a fight against the Rau've and others. However, it was a deep strike force compared to other units. This meant Nikolas was probably in the meeting with Conner in the Hadley In-Vector Corporation's HQ. Jennifer was the only one knowing what Conner will do since he threatened her life after hearing what his daughter has. It was basically returned to the Orbital Space Station, which resupplies Ascendancy Ships her family lives. In the least possible well state, with broken bones and whatnot, Jennifer stayed quiet during this entire Birthday. Obviously, Conner was a work alcoholic, but after the birthday party, in terms of Narvia's. Her Godfather didn't arrive, but she went up to her father's study and saw a book opened up, but something completely unexplained happened to her. However, her father was yelled at when he walked into the room, but he didn't hit her. This caused Lana to help her young daughter Narvia out of her husband's way in terms of everything.

Narvia said something highly cryptic to her mother, Lana, something like she saw a ghost of Scott N. Hadley talked to her, the family's founder. This was too shocking for Lana to understand, and she just told Narvia she probably saw things. She was sent to bed by her mother since it was a bit too weird and creeped Lana out; why would a dead guy talk to her daughter. However, she was told never to talk to her father about what she said to her. Because it is taboo being in Conner's Study, this definitely gave her the feeling that Conner would do something horrible to her if Narvia tried that again. It scared her to no end that her father was cruel, and she didn't understand why he was. It meant she would probably have nightmares trying to understand what that ghost said to her or what she didn't actually know was really a hologram.

In terms of everything, she was seven years old now and was being Tutored by a very nice lady named Julia S. Rovia. This tutor was great friends with her mother since her mother was quite busy today with being in her study working as the corporation's face. Julia asked Narvia about the fact her sister Ashley was acting super weird, which was odd nonetheless. It made Narvia agree with Julia's sentiment about Ashley's odd behavior. In terms of everything, it's nice to know another person understands the weird behavior in the Estate, and she felt like her older sisters didn't love her anymore and didn't understand they were affected terribly by Conner.

Julia instantly knew what was going on but didn't want to die since she noticed these things better than Lana since there is something wrong with her. However, she didn't want to die by the Gravia Military Company or not have her daughter kidnapped by them either. Julia changed the subject quickly about talking about her daughter Jenna to Narvia since they are very much alike. It was adorable and cute to think that these two could actually meet face-to-face if Narvia could have left home. Narvia was happy to be given the ability to have a friend outside of her siblings and mother since she needed more interactions with other kids her age. It was adorable to see Narvia shake her head until Lana walked into the room and told Julia to leave since Conner returned home. Julia agreed to leave and would be honored to tutor her daughters more since they are sweet and adorable like their mother. Lana would have to ask her husband Conner if he could continue tutoring the children and would love to see Jenna here.

Her mother’s compliance and freedom

Lana was in her office looking over some papers that were making her cry, which she saw and read word for word. It was heavily detailed out plans for their daughter Narvia, and it shows that she'll no longer be a part of the family anymore. Godfather Nikolas' will be taking care of Narvia from now on within his Dragon's Brigade Fleet. He saved Narvia from a fate worse than anything that Lana could think up possibly. She couldn't help but cry that her husband had all this planned from the get-go. 'Conner you bastard... I will get you for this. One of these days, I swear on my life, I will get you.' She thought with tears running down her face, which she has never done before now. It was a bit shocking to her, which meant she had her own thoughts again; she always got dazed or confused when she tried to think about things. The freedom to think is back in her ballpark. She had remembered Freya and Ashley's change but couldn't do anything to stop it. Freya was basically a tool to keep this family destroyed, which was also in the plan.

Narvia walked into her mother's office and saw her mother crying uncontrollably. However, she saw a case on the table, the Journey to the Stars Necklace, her mother promised her, and it was in a beautiful case. She had a smile on her face since her mother remembered that. Narvia couldn't find Jennifer at all, which worried her much. "Mother, why are you crying like that? It is nice to see the Journey of the Stars Necklace right there." She said gently and kindly, with naivety in her voice. This caused her to walk up to her mother's desk and sit down in a chair in front of her mother's desk. She couldn't really understand why Ashley was acting the way she was. It wasn't like her, and it was like Freya was completely out of it. She didn't understand what was happening to her family at all because of her innocence.

Lana snapped out of what she was feeling; the first feeling that popped into her mind was hatred towards her husband, Conner. All he has done to her children was hurt them in the most unspeakable ways. However, she enjoyed it when Narvia was her usual self of cuteness and innocent. It also shocked her to the core of her being, the weapon systems of the Hadley Estate will shoot to kill Narvia. It shows that the only places she can go freely are the Gravia Military Company's HQ and the Hadley In-Vector Corporation, then back home. This scared Lana to no end; Conner stripped her rights from her before she married him. But, she chose to stay at home with her children, and now she cannot even see all her children being happy. "N-Narvia I love you sweetie. Please wear the necklace and be proud of your lineage, heritage, and your future before you. You will always be welcomed back on Mars." Lana spoke with a broken heart in her tone of voice, which she cannot believe she has to lie to her own daughter. Lana knew this was plain, not the case, which she started to tear up and cry again.

Narvia carefully picked up the case and opened it up, and put the necklace around her neck. She was proud of her family, even though she'll never be told what happened to people like her in the military. She smiled at her mother, trying to cheer up Lana. "Mother, Ashley has been acting very strangely. You should talk to her. Therefore, I should get going. I was told by my father I had to go somewhere." She responded to her mother's worried or broken heart tone. However, she had a cute smile on her face no matter what.

Lana listens carefully to what her daughter had said and was wondering that herself. However, that means her husband is a crueler bastard than he lets on. She wanted to tell her daughter not to go, but something stopped her; on the piece of paper, telling her if she tells Narvia, the entire Estate will go on lockdown. She will have to watch her children get horribly butchered by Conner's Private Military Company, Gravia. After all that, she will be murdered, never to be united with the one that truly loved her, Nikolas. It will look like an accident happened that caused the Estate to go on lockdown. "Be careful dear, it’s dangerous to go outside alone. I hope you are going to be safe out there..." . She responded to her daughter more or less in a defeated tone of voice. She couldn't help but feel a bit regretful about this whole ordeal. However, she did get the TLI Research Institute's gift, which was from Richard. The Scythe that she always wanted to fight against the oppression, and now she knows who's her real oppressor, her husband, Conner. The TLI knows how to deliver on their promises to her.

Narvia left her mother's study, wearing her necklace, and she was approached by two specific people, who introduced themselves as the Marshal Family. It was primarily a show to keep Narvia in the dark, and he was told not to harm anything on Narvia's hair, or Nikolas' would finish with his promise to them. Narvia was a bit interested in knowing what is going on, but she was told she would be given to her Godfather, Nikolas. She was talking and sitting near Sarah R. Marshal, but Sarah's brother Gregory was driving the black Gravia SUV to the point where the Dragon's Brigade Fleet would take over. However, suddenly they were stopped by an Armored Tank with the Dragon's Brigade Fleet symbol, and it terrified them. The SUV stopped instantly, and it somewhat jolted Narvia into asking what is happening. All the while, the person standing on the Armored Tank was no other than Nikolas R. Zahrin, not really enjoying seeing them so soon. Gregory told Sarah to sit still and keep Narvia company while he will talk to Nikolas.

Nikolas watched as Gregory got out of the vehicle and shut it back up again. He jumped off the tank and slammed his Diffusor Sword into the SUV, which scared Gregory and Sarah, who was still in the SUV. "So, it would have to be the Assassin Twins from the Bastard, Conner. Guess Conner took the threat I gave him to heart for once. He isn't stupid as it seems, as I thought he was. But I am sorry I destroyed your little ' toy' , but you don't deserve it. All you deserve is the fear of living with the desire of watching me tear down, Conner's real family down." Nikolas said, with Conner, Shelly, and the Twins' absolute disrespect. He pulled the sword from the SUV and put it back in its sheath on his waist. He walked towards the SUV in question with what he did next and opened the door where Sarah was sitting. Sarah was utterly terrified, didn't have anything to say to Nikolas, and sat there in a bit of a daze. Nikolas' looked directly at Narvia and smiled kindly towards her. "Let's go Narvia, I will take care of you to the best of my ability. Since I am a much better father figure in your life than Conner." He spoke with authority to him on what he knew about Conner.

Narvia was confused about what Nikolas' said, but she was happy to be with her Godfather. She was ten years old, and this is when she joined the program now with the transfer happened.

The Harsh Reality, War

Narvia's reality was harsh throughout everything; at least she had her Godfather with her all steps of the way. Or she'll be grounded by the evils of what the other Admirals wanted to do to her, specifically Berkeley. Throughout her four years within the Black Site, she was drilled, which the Dragon's Brigade Fleet was taking a break from doing patrols. However, the war started between the Human Coalition, which caused the Deep Strike Fleet to reengage the enemy. She had a relatively peaceful war only because the Rau've absolutely didn't want to engage the Dragon's Brigade Fleet because of the deep strike nature.

Where she actually had to get involved was the Battle of Proxima. The Dragon's Brigade Fleet was in position with the 1st Fleet; if things got hectic, they would decide to retreat. However, there was a slight hope that the 11th Fleet's flagship would be destroyed since the Butchers needed to end. Berkeley was the cockiest of the Admirals and didn't absolutely care for the advice of people smarter than him. In the end, the Dragon's Brigade Fleet allowed Narvia to join the strike force on the enemy's flagship without any knowledge of if it will go wrong.

Nikolas didn't like this because it was stupid to attack an Enemy's flagship without support, only to use the Child soldiers to their fullest. Her Godfather told Narvia; she will always be loved in the Brigade as long as she has no regrets. She had no regrets, just hopes to reunite with her family on Mars. When she joined her last mission in the enemy's flagship, it was a hectic battlefield within the ship. She assaulted with all her might until but was captured by the Rau've Soldiers, who were much better equipped in defeating the Ascendancy's Child Soldiers.

Prisoner of War

Narvia finally woke up in a cell after a nightmare, which made her reminded she was captured by the Rau've. She was probably on a Rau've planet since she was captured on a Rau've capital ship. There were some huge bastards in the Ascendancy, but her Godfather protected her from those pricks in terms of her Ascendancy experience. She just laid down on her bed in the cell, with a plant collar around her neck that kind of sucked since she couldn't use her magic. If anything, she was grateful for that since she felt like her normal self, just much older even though she had a bad time growing up. Her stunted growth didn't help; throughout her life, she is only 5'3 in height. However, all she could do was cry about what her Godfather told her about her bastard of a father. Conner outright abandoned her to the wolves and wanted her to die in this war, but Nikolas' didn't allow that to happen. It was because she was assigned to the Dragon's Brigade Fleet.

Narvia went back to bed because she couldn't really handle anything right now. She wanted to keep crying like her mother, seven years ago, to this day. If it wasn't for all the help and protection, she got her innocence would be truly lost. However, it was tough for her to lose that very thing since it was engrained into her from the very onset of fate. She had nothing to do because she wasn't the most hostile type of child soldier in this prison of the Rau've.

Narvia was released from her cell, which she couldn't get out of even if she tried. She walked around outside of the cell and noticed a strange sight. There were other people like her in this place, alive and well, which made her cry to herself to be grateful to the Rau've to be humane as they could to them. It was a cute reunion with two of the child soldiers. She thinks their names are Iris and Samual, which was adorable to her. However, the tall man near was named Tarek, since she knew that because Nikolas' talked about him more. I don't know why, though, since she didn't really understand the strategies that came from her Godfather, cryptic as they can be. The Rau've in question treated them much more humanely than what had happened to all of them in the Ascendancy. By overhearing Samual speak to his sister, she was informed that the war was over, and they wouldn't have to fight anymore. All she wanted was to be reunited with her Godfather, her mother, and older sisters but would have to defeat her own father to do that. It meant she would want to get back at the people who got her in this mess of being a child soldier for the Ascendancy. If anything, she was still very, very naive and too trusting of the future. In her heart, she wanted to talk to her Godfather, Nikolas, and ask him why Conner was so cruel.

Extra Information:

The Hadley Family

Scott Noreen Hadley is the founder of the new age of prosperity for his family. It took him only ten years to form the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. This happened around 200 years ago, exactly when the MegaCorporation owned by the family formed. Mars is where the Hadley Family lives, which had many different families, underdogs on the planet vying for supremacy. However, Scott was nicknamed the Maddening among his family because of his outrageously skeptical prophecies, which came true with every single step forward for the family as a whole.

He was a visionary compared to his other competition, which made him one dangerous man to deal with in any way. The visions he got were all written down in a tome called the Prophecies of the Maddening One. Scott's primary vision saw the Hadley Family's fall by one born into the family via a foreboding, omen bearing birthmark, which has three stars surrounding a triangle. This child in question will have the worst luck in the family, no matter their gender. This is the family's biggest secret, which only members of Scott's bloodline can know it. That means no one outside of the family can know this secret, or it'll cause a panic in the family as a whole. It has only been passed down to the eldest or only son throughout the two-hundred years under the Maddening One's Prophecies. However, most family members are still skeptical about this omen-bearing birthmark since it hasn't shown up in the family so far.

The Hadley Family is run by Conner L. Hadley and Lana R. Hadley. They have had three children together by the name of Freya, Ashley, and Narvia. All three of his children were named by their Godfather Nikolas R. Zahrin, which made him a bit annoyed when dealing with him. Stuart contacted his son one day to drop all the plans of sorrow and hate to make sure the Hadley Family would continue to exist. Conner didn't really respond well to what his father had said. He basically told him to fuck off for what he did to him at 13 years old, thrusting the Gravia Military Company onto him. After this time, his father finally realized he was a true moron and idiot for what he did to his family after his wife, Rena's death. Afterward, Conner learned that the omen bearing birthmark happened to be on Narvia by being told it by one of the void-borne loyal maids he had. The birthmark is where it was supposed to be on Narvia's body, which pissed him off.

Conner had powerful control over his wife, Lana, which came from a broken family. Lana was the catalyst to unite the families because of her father Derrick and Stuart's efforts. It made her an easy target to Conner's brainwashing that he employs for the Gravia Military Company. The thorn in his and the Ascendancy's side was no other than Derrick, killed by Lana's older sister Maria. Lana was close to her two sisters, but Maria was much closer. It didn't help when Lana learn about Maria's Trial and execution at the hands of Berkeley R. Jensen, the Admiral of the 11th Fleet. He was young for his time, but he was the most brutal of the fleet admirals already, mostly because killing a dissident is the military's job. Conner never thought it would be easy to control Lana, who was grieving over her father and older sister's deaths. It was odd that she was grieving for that bastard for what his assumption was cruel beatings when he never really knew the truth about that matter.

Conner has many plans to get rid of Narvia and use his elder daughters as tools in his schemes. He actually had genuine feelings for Lana when he first met her. It was love at first sight. There were two people; his feelings in not having the bad omen birthmark within the family had to get rid of Narvia F. Hadley at all costs.

---

Conner L. Hadley

The Hadley Family's Head, which gives him full access to the history of his family. He's able to continue his ancestor Scott Noreen Hadley's work, which caused him to kick his father, Stuart, out of ever returning to the Hadley Estate on Mars. He did so because his father put him in charge of the Gravia Military Company at age 13 and ambushed him with a Godfather to his children. This Godfather was named Nikolas R. Zahrin, which also must know his children; the ambushing was by Nikolas' father, Leon, and his father, Stuart. He knew about Nikolas' love for his soon to be wife Lana. However, he did fell in love with her, too, since it was love at first sight, but he then remembered his hatred for Lana's DNA flowing through her veins, the one who murdered his mother, Derrick P. Steven. Because of Shelly L. Marshal, the woman he was cheating on his own wife, Lana, they both hated Steven's bloodline equally. He has fraternal twins with Shelly by Sarah R. Marshal and Gregory I. Marshal, but with the fact, his wife is brainwashed completely by him, she doesn't know he's cheating on her. Shelly L. Marshal is a mercenary and an advisor within the Gravia Military Company and was with her lover every step of the way of their planned revenge. Conner was more in love with Shelly than Lana but stayed married to Lana because he wouldn't want Nikolas to have her. At least the Hadley Estate was a prison for everyone who doesn't have an access key, his biological children with Lana.

With his mistress' Shelly, the plan was to take out revenge against Steven Bloodline on his own biological children since Derrick is dead. They wanted to get their revenge on taking away Rena, the angel of Mars, the kindest woman to be ever known because Conner was his own mother. He knew Shelly might harm Lana if they met mostly because Shelly didn't know where her mother was exactly, named Natalie. Lana had both of her parents until Maria murdered Derrick. It helped him fascinate with the mental abuse instead of physical abuse since Lana might become subservient to him, which he didn't want. Constantly made Lana go through in her head about why Maria killed Derrick, even though the reasons to him didn't really matter since he had an assumption Derrick did physically abuse them by how many scars are on Lana's body. He perfected brainwashing as an art form. He always shows his talents very well. The Gravia Military Company is primarily made up of kidnapped children, brainwashed into believing everything to become the most ruthless, brutal private military company ever. However, his specific nature towards Shelly and their children is much different since they aren't brainwashed, and Sarah and Gregory are Sub-Overseers. At the same time, Conner is the Overseer of the Military Company.

He has created non-thinking machine artificial intelligence, holographic in nature, to help or show him different operation areas in his Gravia Military Company and Hadley In-Vector Corporation. Rena I. Hadley, his biological mother he absolutely misses, created a holographic image that speaks in her voice to keep the people who work in his Corporation calm down about missing her. His mother was religious and a bit factual about a prophecy that did end up happening to her via the Maddening One's Prophecies. However, a big taboo happened in his home when Freya P. Hadley was trying to read from the Maddening One Tome's Prophecies in his study. It caused him to be utterly angry and smacking Freya across the face, which made him smile. He can finally use his brainwashing techniques on her. He broke down Freya via his methods and rebuilt her into a maid, which gave him much more control over what she could do and couldn't. While his second daughter got it even worse, not because she did anything wrong, but he was sick and tired of her genius and knew something was wrong with her older sister. Ashley was forcibly injected with hardcore drugs via his Gravia Military Company would do anything for their overseer. He was trying to turn Ashley into Lana's little sister Natasha O. Steven, which would take a while before it would succeed.

Now onto Narvia, the last of his children with Lana. He yelled at Narvia for entering his room since it was taboo for anyone, but she didn't tell him what she saw or heard from it. However, he did know what to do, which was to bribe the Ascendancy Military by asking for a meeting with Nikolas R. Zahrin, the Godfather of Narvia. He had definite information about something big going on in the Ascendancy. He supported whatever was going on since he had big investors in the Hadley In-Vector Corporation and had the full support of Berkeley R. Jensen, the Fleet Admiral of the 11th Fleet. This corruption within the Ascendancy was the prime target for his chance to get rid of the trash in his family; this meeting happened on his daughter's 5th Birthday in the Hadley In-Vector Corporation's HQ on Mars. It was still a secret meeting behind his brainwashed wife's back, but only in 5 years would she be taken away from here by him and his mistress' children to an Ascendancy Blacksite on Mars. Conner's age is 47 years old, the same as his wife, Lana.

Lana R. Hadley

Lana is a part of the Steven Family before she married and was absolutely in love with Conner L. Hadley, mostly because he was a mysterious good guy. It didn't help; she was suffering from the trauma of losing her father, Derrick, and her older sister Maria because the ruthless Berkeley R. Jensen executed the latter. Derrick was an Anti-Propagandist towards the government because of their Earth-Focused policies and how cruel some of their Admirals were, specifically Berkeley himself. However, he was protected by the fact he had an outstanding group of Mercenaries underneath him, which countered the Military's movements all the time. Lana's family had a specific problem with how great Maria was in everything, and it caused her to be co-dependent on her older sister. Maria was basically suffocating her younger sisters and putting all spotlight on her, which didn't like her father's authority. It usually caused all of them to get in trouble with their father, and he disciplined them in an overzealous way by how his father raised him. This caused her to cry uncontrollably within the Hadley Estate after getting married to Conner because she missed her father and sister too much. However, she got on a bit of support from an unlikely person, Nikolas R. Zahrin, her children's Godfather. She brightened up when talking to Nikolas since he calmed her down during one of her crying fits since her father and older sister died basically near her 16th Birthday.

Lana noticed Conner guarded his study by staying in it that she had no idea what he could be guarding or being hardly home while working at the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. She noticed her oldest daughter Freya's changed drastically; it was odd since she was wearing a maid outfit and calling her mistress. She couldn't really tell why or how she changed so quickly; it was odd. However, she didn't realize herself; she was acting the same way but going through the paces of constantly going through the stages of grief over and over again. It took one large breaking point to realize what Conner had done to her, her daughters, and her family unity. The fact, she lost Narvia to whatever deal, bribe, or whatnot he did to get rid of her by any means necessary. In terms of the instructions, she was given by her husband Conner on her daughter's 10th Birthday and had in fine print that if her daughter ever returns to the Hadley Estate, she will be killed on sight. However, this cracked the brainwashing and made her realize her husband wasn't a nice guy; he was a cruel bastard that got a kick out of destroying everything he touched. It made her hyperventilate, which made her cry about the whole situation. This was ten times worse than losing Derrick and Maria to the cruelty of fate. Because she will never see Narvia again since she was wearing the Journey of the Stars Necklace, Lana had to basically lie to Narvia to tell her, 'You will always be welcomed back to Mars, Sweetie.' It hurt her badly to lie to Narvia; however, she felt like she was being used as a puppet by her own husband.

After that ordeal, it made her suspect he's the cause of Ashley and Freya's changes as well. Since Ashley kind of reminded her of her younger sister Natasha, mostly the drug use and whatnot. This feels like an utter betrayal to the entire vows they made on their wedding day. However, she was allowed onto the Gravia Military Company's military base since she acted lost and wanted a tour. In the back of her mind, she needs to know what is happening, and it was specifically because she was holding a Scythe in her hands. Basically, a threat allowed her onto her husband's other business' property. She saw something that highly annoyed her; Sarah R. Marshal and Gregory I. Marshal talked about Narvia. However, she recognized their facial features to be pretty similar to Conner, which meant he even cheated on her with another woman. When she saw their mother walking up to them, which turned her stomach since her father's mercenary company had a woman named Natalie in it and always talked about her daughter Shelly. Lana straight up confronted the little family in front of her with a devilish grin on her face. This shocked Shelly, Sarah, and Gregory, when Lana specifically said a name that irked Shelly. However, the Imposing Scythe Wielder was really close to them, and this is where it turned dangerous for them. Sarah couldn't help but be utterly terrified and told Lana they didn't harm Narvia F. Hadley during the trip to Narvia's Godfather.

Lana's eyes glared at the three, which were on notice now, but she didn't want to harm them since they did look happy compared to her broken home. However, she did give Shelly what she always wanted, the truth of her mother's location and her real name. Shelly had a real shock in her eyes because she always thought her mother was a deadbeat, but she used to be a part of the richest family on Mars, that is, the Hadley Family. Lana only knew this because she lived with her father for a long time, and Natalie always came up since Derrick rescued Shelly's mother from death. The Gravia Military Company had to let Lana off the hook and not kill her because it wouldn't look too good to kill the Hadley In-Vector Corporation's Co-Owner. When Lana arrived back home told Ashley that whatever hope to see Narvia is long gone, but she'll be in the great care of their Godfather. It's mostly because Conner went behind their back. The only assurance she gave her daughter is that Nikolas will be rescued one day since she should have realized sooner that he truly loved her.

Freya P. Hadley

The firstborn daughter to Lana and Conner in the Hadley Family. Freya learned a horrible truth about her father, Conner, which he is a monster. It was all because she tried to read the Maddening One Book's Prophecies, which was in his study. This book was opened on Page 50, which told her a strange prophecy, but she didn't really get it. However, her father walked into his study and caught her red-handed, which made him extremely angry, and back-handed Freya really hard. Conner had a specific rule; no one was allowed in the Study or else. She asked her father what he would do to her, which he gave her an answer that terrified her to no end. Conner segmented her mind into a million pieces and rebuilt her into a maid, which can only say mistress or master to the people living in the house. As well, she could never respond to her younger siblings at all, basically ignoring them all.

Freya's subconscious was the only piece of her, and Conner didn't mess with it since it would keep her original personality. She was crying subconsciously every time she said mistress to her mother and ignoring her sisters. This made her wanted to scream at the fact her father was a cruel bastard to her specifically. However, when she learned that Narvia is forever not coming back, it made her subconscious break the brainwashing a bit, where she was truly crying. It was the first time she could actually say mommy and talk to Ashley; after all this torment, her father put her through. This would take her a while before she would be able to be fully free of the brainwashing her father done to her, but she was healing now. She felt unsafe around Conner because of how much an asshole he is. It was mostly because he wanted to keep her fully broken and not whole, but he has never returned to the house and took the family book away from the Estate.

Her age is 27 years old, making her 5 years older than Ashley and 10 years older than Narvia. The brainwashing fully ended after recognizing the safe word on the wall in her room, written on the dry erase board. Basically, the safe word is written on the board, which uses dry erase markers, 'I don't love you. I have a better daughter than you. Not one that is corrupted with that demon's blood who killed my mother Rena I. Hadley.' It showed that their father never loved any of them, including their mother, because of what happened in the past.

---

Ashley R. Hadley

The second-born daughter to Lana and Conner in the Hadley Family. Ashley learned an important lesson: she should've stopped her older sister Freya from the study because it is a rule in the household never to enter it, even if Conner is in it. However, her inability to stop Freya's curiosity caused the shattering of what Lana perceived was unity with her daughters. It caused her to be terribly afraid of what her father would do to her if he found out, but he did something far worse than he did to her older sister. She was forced by her father's military company to be injected with drugs to basically make her like a person he remembered in Lana's life, her little sister Natasha. It was god awful to feel the intense feeling of a high from being forced down on the ground or her bed being injected with a god awfully heavily addictive drug on the Black Market. This particularly was her slow transformation into what her father wanted her to become, a lazy drug-addicted woman. She had lost her heart, but she still thought her family was still going to be held together.

Ashley noticed some particularly odd things with Lana, as if she was similarly brainwashed like her older sister. She was the only one that was forced into a role she didn't want but had been trying to keep herself looking back to a simpler time before all these awful things started to happen. However, what completely made her heartbroken was what Lana told her about Narvia; it made her cry, and she couldn't stop crying. She will never be able to see Narvia, which she couldn't handle. However, when her Godfather was brought up, she realized Narvia is in good hands, at least. Mars is one of her least favorite planets since she cannot go outside, but she can look on the internet message boards. However, she had met Natasha on one of these message boards, which made her a bit worried, and told Natasha everything that had happened to her family.

Her age is 22 years old, which is five years apart from Freya and Narvia. She is the middle child of her family. She's a complete wreck with what her father had done to her and only tries to calm her nerves by chatting with her mother, Lana. However, two things happened. Freya started to act like her normal self, and her mother was completely involved with taking down her husband by any means necessary. It showed that her mother was no longer under the brainwashing she saw her under. The Gravia Military Company stays far away from Lana and her daughters, who still live with her since they don't want to get Lana's Scythe Training's wrath. But Ashley has been getting on medication to slowly get her away from the drugs injected into her since she wants to be normal. It was because her mother got her the medication to detox her daughter. However, the one thing that still is on her nerves is the lack of knowledge of where Narvia is in the galaxy. The Ascendancy is doing a great job of keeping secrets, which she is getting help from Natasha on that end.

Nero Kayakos

Name: Nero Kayakos

Age: 16

Physical Description: He's kind of the wiry delinquint type, quick to react and seemingly on-guard alot of the time. You can see that he's watching you, studying you, testing to see where the chinks in your armor are. Simultaneously, he's keeping himself at arm's length so you can't do the same to him. So, unless he's alone, he's rarely relaxed for real. There's always that tiny hint that, from a lying position, he could suddenly spring up and attack...and that sometimes he would, because he has been ill-at-ease around everyone his entire life. He prefers to wear dark colors, but in fact will only let off a token grumble about there being otherwise no real choice.

Important items:

Hybrid-Metal Plasma Daggers x2 - A heat-resistant poly-alloy hybrid knife equipped with built-in machinery to charge the blade with heated plasma for greater ease in cutting things.

Electro-Daggers x2 - Metal blades with essentially an insulated taser for a hilt. They deliver electrical shocks to targets on impact. Highly-effective on machine targets.

Curved Monomolecular Knives x4 - These are fairly-common weapons, which Nero has four of now, for throwing and as back-ups for his other knives.

Ballistic Vest - Again, very common, and notably his doesn't get damaged that much.

Killer Mask - NOT very common. A tactical assistance device in mask form which can change visual input, and serve as both breather and gasmask. Ballistic Vest material quality. Nero's looks like the cross between a welder's mask and a hockey mask.

Galactic Credits - Less credits now.

Omni-Tool - "Son of a- How the hell do you work this damn thing? Come on, already!"

Plasma Flamethrower - Taken intact from the impromptu assault in space, where the previous owner failed to explode them both in the ensuing combat. It's rather bulky, with its back-mounted plasma-generation tank with industrial-grade feed into the main rifle-esque plasma-throwing business end. Technically, it could be concealed in Nero's stealth, but anything projected far out of the wraith form will make noise.

Jaws-of-Slice Super-Cutter - A self-sharpening chainsaw shown to cut through pretty much all but toughened alloys that also has the capability to collapse the chain section into the main chassis for easier transport. Comes with spare chains, cleaning kit, and a decent warranty. The compactibility factor allows this instrument to be taken into vents...just, and as a kind of melee device, it can be concealed by stealth power.

Short Bio: Oookay.

Nero's disposition about fighting in the war was a little different from most. He was oppositional and confrontational from the start, his attitude taking a "This is what you had to resort to for the win?" sort of stance. He was cynical and judgemental, calling those around him that weren't a part of the program pathetic and weak. He was allowed to do this because they both knew that he was being shipped out to die for their cause, and he didn't have any choice in the matter. You see, Nero's delinquint nature is his own. He was an unwanted child to begin with, thrust into a foster home that didn't care for him, which then later sold him out to the military in order to receive more financial support. Of course, getting a hold of him was tricky. He liked to climb and sneak off places as a hobby to piss people off, so when the time came to grab him, only the army's decent training allowed them to really keep up, and he still injured two men in the process. Said soldiers were actually given the opportunity to watch the experiments on him for their troubles, and then assured that the powers and training he gained would not be used against them. And while this was true, it was only because they didn't stick around. Whole new measures of security procedures had to be put in place to contain Nero, and they had to entice his more vicious side in order to keep him focused on the matter at hand, which was the war.

In battle, Nero directed all of his anger into fighting, to the point where he pretty much revolved around being vicious and chaotic. It was his nature to stir up trouble in an area, force the enemy to slow down and try to deal with the problem, picking them off, one by one. When he and the others were captured, he was either the least afraid or overriding his fear with his anger, getting rather vocal that he wasn't given any fucking choice in his being a part of the war. Naturally, the Rau've needed to figure out why he kept mentioning procreation in such a manner, or made references to the posterior. They DID catch on once he called someone "Shit for brains!", though. He only really quieted down once it was properly explained that he wasn't going to be harmed, just contained to prevent damage to any other being. In short, it was just a holding cell. That calmed him a little, but like always, he was ill-at-ease. He didn't really know how to cool down entirely. There was alot of need to get out and do what he pleased because of people trying to confine him. Unfortunately for him, the Rau've were better at it, and quickly learned from all of his tricks.

The war ended and Nero almost didn't care. He never knew who to belong to, anyway, but that included this so-called peaceful life on an alien world. Nero didn't know what he wanted, but he knew what he didn't want, and that was this. It just didn't mesh with him. Maybe he didn't belong anywhere, to anything or anyone. Maybe he was just a frigging asteroid thrown out of its galaxy with nowhere to go. Well...someone proposed somewhere to go, and he...kinda' liked the idea. Killing the fuckers who started this mess? Sure, why not? Smack into the Earth! That's where the asteroid goes! He was in, and while the alien plant-boys didn't like it, he said, "Well, look. You were worried I'd shiv someone here. Now you don't gotta worry anymore, right? Right.". He didn't care about the danger because nobody cared about him, anyway. So, hell with it! Why did it matter? Go teach those fuckers a lesson...

UNLOCKED Spell List:

I have implanted the abilities as you requested, as well as a full list of those people in charge of the Star Marine Project, including those who brought you here and enforced your 'discipline'. It's all under a black box filter, which I told them was just to keep you loyal to the Ascendancy. All technically true, of course, but I know it won't remain blocked forever, or under situations of extreme stress. Just remember our agreement, Nero. Your vendetta against ME is over, now that I've granted you the power and freedom to exact your revenge. Leave me and my family out of it...and good luck.

Shadow Charge (Netherworld) LEVEL-2 - The ability to charge an object with dense shadowy energies to increase its strength. Armor becomes effectively thicker and more difficult to damage, blades slash and stab deeper, bullets have more penetration, and so on. The limits of a Level-1 ability is that you must cast upon things effectively one at a time. Weapons in hand, armor on body, and some things on person would count as three separate castings. Level-2 ability reached. Can perform mass-armoring in a given area, or weapon enhancement in a given area, or full armor and enhancement of weapons on a single person now. Enhancement of a static object can reach larger sizes, as well. Take note, however, that in a pinch, one can charge the extremities of one's body similarly for extra directed impact force, and the same follows for anything thrown or otherwise in motion, or to make nearby cover more durable.

Shadow Step (Netherworld) LEVEL-2 - The ability to become a silent shadowy form, one which meshes perfectly with the darkness and appears as a near-indistinguishable shade in the light. You cannot be heard, even if you speak out loud, though you can pull people in to your immediate vicinity and THEN speak to them. They become obscured as well, if you do so. The limits of this spell at Level-1 is that you are still physically there and can be hurt, but obviously you're more difficult to hit and near-impossible to recognize in the light. Level-2 ability reached. Now able to change shape in order to flatten out and/or mimic other shadows, so as to enhance stealth capability. Still tangiable, but polymorphically altered to exist in a 'liquid shadow' state.

The Black Spot (Netherworld) - I've given you these abilities because I know what will happen when the war is over and the Ascendancy decides that you're too much of a risk to keep around. This ability allows you to find any target you wish, so long as you know their name or have a clear picture of their face in mind. As per your list, I have implanted the memory of all that you wish to die (and excluded mine, for obvious reasons) into your mind so you cannot forget who you are looking for. This particular spell will hit them with a dread black spot of Netherworld power that will give you direction on the person by instinct, and torment THEM with a little pain and skin degradation when it shows. You can only cast this on one person at a time, but it will very definitely tell you where they are, near or far.

Necro-Blade (Netherworld) - Your method of execution, as we discussed. The attack is short-ranged, no greater than the length of a short sword, and cannot be thrown...but it is exceptional in effect. I know that you wish the greatest torment upon those of whom have wronged you, and so I give you the means to dispatch them...within reason. Your body was not ready for a larger attack of this nature, so this will have to do. The blade is composed of pure necromancy, and is corrosive in nature. Against a non-living target, there is whatever strength you have to slash and stab it, backed up by a molecular degradation that is gradual-but-constant. It can be purified by a counter-force, but I know you were planning on using this against living beings, so worry not. When lanced into flesh, the area of the wound begins to necrotize, dying out cell-by-cell until the agony brings the numb horror of being reduced to a mindless zombie. From there, death is the only possible release...maybe.

Traits List:

Master Twin Blade - Nero is exceptional in the use of any short-bladed instrument, from the shiv to the switchblade, and just about anything that is light and one-handed with an edge. It's practically that all he did in the war, making use of any slashing/stabbing weapon smaller than a sword, including the quick-throwing of such devices. He is especially good at finding the weakspot and using it like Richard B. Riddick.

Superb Acrobat - Fighting, leaping, climbing, and moving with swift motion come as a second nature to the boy. Forced to live in an uncaring world, this is what he'd always done to people before his training. Now, he has control over himself akin to Claire Statfield from Baccano, which is to say being exceptionally balanced and able to move around even dangerous locations with great ease and control, reaching the levels of Samurai Jack towards the end of the war.

Stealthy - Even without his magic, Nero's always been good at keeping quiet and sneaking around. You're so use to him talking big or doing something loud that, suddenly, it's shocking when he stops making noise and takes things seriously. He's not a ninja, per se, but you won't find him that easily, either. Expect him to slip out of areas without much warning, palming or otherwise stealing some things, or just generally attacking without warning to surprise enemies.

Highly Perceptive - He had to train without the mask before he ever got it to help him out. Nero is trained to not rely totally on his eyes for input, and so he's been able to hit targets in the dark by listening alone, say. The point is that he's sharp, even at a time where he should be at a disadvantage, whether it's hearing a blade whistle in the dark, smelling a faint odor of something dangerous, or faintly touching something and realizing "Oh...that's a tripwire.".

Streetwise and Savvy - Nero is not very well educated, but he IS pretty savvy on the common sense level, picking things up at times that others would not, following instincts that tend to pay off. When something doesn't add up, he'll be the one to call bullshit. Seeing a situation for what it is, imagining how things can go exceptionally south, and avoiding it happening is how he has stayed alive.

Short Bio:

Backstory

Twin Stars

Samuel was born with his twin, Iris, to Richard and Joanne. Richard Matthews worked as a Star Ship Inspector and Joanne Matthews worked as a meteor miner. Mom was working one of the drills when she went into labor. 6 hours later, the twins were born. Iris was very healthy and came out screaming her lungs off. Samuel was born smaller and quiet, lacking constitution. As they grew, these differences at birth seemed to define their traits early in life.

Samuel was a runt for a good portion of his early life, more like a shadow to Iris. He never had the same fascination nor constitution to play outside, so he took to more indoor activities, like reading and academics. Samuel excelled at schooling, music, and drawing, passing and far exceeding all around him. Yet, no matter how far he shined above others, he always seemed to pull Iris with him and helped her in every way he could, never questioning a moment when she did not get a subject. However, like anyone, when he gets upset he can become mean and accidentally make Iris cry, which ends up with him comforting her by holding her and getting her candy. Even with his lesser physical body than normal, he pushed himself every way he could to play with Iris, sometimes getting hurt or sick, yet never letting it show as he always wished to play with his sister, even if it hurt him. He never could truly be too far away from Iris, to the point where he could go into literal fits of anger when forced to be away from her.

Their parents loved Iris and Samuel but not in the normal way. Having twins that were almost like opposites entertained them. Iris and Samuel were almost status symbols to them. Samuel took notice of this, as their parents almost seemed to enjoy them more being different rather than them being their kids to the point where the gifts they were given were meant to sell how close they were as siblings, adding to the look of the family unit. Samuel did not mind the gifts in the end, however, as Iris loved them too much to make him mad. He allowed her to take his clothing so they could match and made Iris feel as if they were closer than anything. To Samuel, they were, as she was the only thing he cared for. As few people played wit him, and their parents didn't seem too different either, just there enough to look like good parents, yet far enough away to be their own people.

Just turning 10 the day before Iris wasn't done celebrating with Samuel. Samuel got pulled along to a remote woodland park that Iris discovered the other day when she hopped on the bus for no reason. Samuel was nervous but they both being there everything should be fine. Samuel walked with Iris as she ran and played, Samuel was not much of one to play 'till his heart gave out, so he watched her as he walked with her and played a little here and there with her, yet once he saw Iris get tired they both noticed an ice cream truck. Iris quickly ran over to get them some cold treats, while Samuel took his time to come over. Yet a cold chill ran down his spine as he heard Iris' scream as if someone put fire into his blood, Samuel ran over with a speed he never knew he could muster, as his heart was in his throat when he saw a few men in black put Iris in the back of the ice cream truck. Samuel, in this adrenaline high, tried to reach into the van to grab Iris, yet saw the door shut, not even noticing for a moment his arm was gone until he felt a warm wet liquid run down his arm. His eyes seemed almost enraged as he yelled in pain, as his other arm reached up and threw open the door that was being blocked by his now dismembered arm. He shakily stepped in as he moved towards one of the men slowly and threw a soft almost lifeless punch as Samuel said, "Let…her go-", as Samuel passed out near Iris. The men quickly took his arm and applied biofoam to the breakage and stuck the arm back on with nanomachines, and took Samuel too, after all, the kid showed enough potential in such a small frame, what can these twins do together?

Days in captivity

Samuel and Iris woke up to find themselves in a small grey room with each other with no visible doors and no windows, the air smells stale like there hasn't been fresh air here for years. Samuel quickly went over to keep Iris calm and make sure she was okay. This was the moment they were taken to an Ascendancy of Humanity Experimental site, where they were sent through a horrific blender of experiments and training. All the while being subjected to various humiliations and torture to slowly break down their sense of being and make them more weapons of war rather than people. However, anytime Iris seemed to have been overwhelmed by the grueling pains of missing the outside, Samuel was always there to make sure Iris knew he was there, and that they could get through this together and see the outside world again. As anytime they are given any form of sweet, may it be a fruit or otherwise, he would always give Iris his bit of sweet, as she seemed to love it more than he ever does, and in all honesty, her having a little smile is more than enough to make him happy.

After a few months of their stay at the Ascendancy of Man Project site, they met an older boy by the name of Tarak. Samuel found this boy strange he seemed to be older than any other child here and was brought in now as everyone else was brought in at the same time. Samuel found him strange as he was an outsider to this world of pain. Yet before Samuel could notice, the strange boy was already talking to many of the others, many Samuel never even talked as they kept to themselves. Samuel watched in great interest as the boy went from one child to another. Tarak seemed to have this strange aura about him as he had this strange charisma that made many of the toughest kids laugh or smile as it was almost like they saw their big brother again. Sam watched hoping to gain that ability to maybe be able to do the same for his sister, yet never noticed that Tarak was already there and about to talk to them. As when Tarak spoke, Samuel felt strange, as if the boys very existence was this soothing thing that made the pain wash away for a moment, yet Samuel never noticed as the boy was talking, he passed the boy a piece of candy and so he did the same for Iris. His smile seems to have shown through as he took the candy to Iris and gave her his piece of hard candy too. Samuel trusted Tarak, for some reason he just couldn't explain.

Like an omen, when Tarak started to train with them, it felt as if they were babying them, as they seemed to have kicked up the training. When this new level of training began, it was grueling. Being both physically and mentally demanding, everyday left Samuel exhausted beyond what he thought could be possible, as even the energetic Iris was left too tired to move. Yet, Tarak was always there to make sure they are taken care of, as he carried them back to the bunks when they were too tired to carry themselves to bed. Yet while during the training Samuel would keep Iris from falling apart when the training gets tough, and when in the bunks Iris and Samuel wound normally sleep together to keep each other sane while sleeping, as sometimes the yelling would never leave his ears, and sometimes he would wake up in a cold sweat as he felt the pain in his body radiate from his core outward as the pain was intense, yet while holding Iris, the pain subsides and he can at least gain some sleep.

Now finally completing the basic training, Samuel felt some kind of strange uneasiness as he noticed multiple kids missing. Samuel started looking for Tarak, becoming increasingly worried as he saw more kids randomly disappear. He ran to find Iris again as he spotted her and felt this calmness flow over him as he ran to hug her. Almost immediately after this calmness disappeared some agents came and grabbed Samuel and Iris. Samuel kicked and bucked as they tried separating the two of them, and after more struggling they finally allowed the two to be taken together, as they walked hand in hand Samuel was scared, scared what will happen. They were soon brought to a lab, as they were set on testing tables where they were no more than 5 feet apart. From this distance Samuel looked to Iris and mouthed to her, 'It's alright, I'm here'. Soon an impossibly hot liquid was sent through Samuel's veins, as he grits his teeth and silenced a scream that was about to tear out his lungs. His eyes watered as the liquid ran its' course, yet not a single peep left his lips because he knew if he screamed, Iris would be scared. Soon he found himself passing out from the pain. Later waking up in the arms of Iris as they were both taken back to their bunk.

When they started to learn magic, Samuel found out that any injury he or Iris sustained, the other sustained. The scientist started to test how far this strange connection goes, to the point of near torture to just see the response the other had. Samuel always felt the deep anger anytime he felt even a tinge of pain, as he headed over to find Iris to make sure she was okay. Almost like a sixth sense now Samuel was always there anytime he felt some tinge of pain or weakness, he knows where Iris is and even if she is okay. Feeling a bit like Tarak, he felt happy, happy that he is more like a big brother. Yet this was not the only magic they had, as they made many more, now to sync up and combine magics to help each other, as now in their training they were taught how to fight like a unit, to fight in tandem, and to always stay on the same wavelength, never losing focus, as they became a perfect machine. Samuel was more than willing to do so, so long Iris would be okay.

Fog of War

When the big wigs thought they were ready, Samuel and Iris were sent to war. A haze of blood and gun smoke covered Samuel's eyes, all he could see through that thick smog of death was a single goal, to make sure his sister was safe. Making sure that Iris would be okay in the end. They bleed together, fought together, and killed together. For the first year, all Samuel remembered was the hard nights with Iris as it was just them. Many of the other kids either died or were deployed elsewhere. Many of the soldiers and officers there treated them like dirt, many didn't even look at them as human, Samuel felt a rage build inside him as he watched them constantly berate and belittle Iris.

After a grueling year deep into this messy fighting, the war had been going for about a year and a half now, through the war, they were sent out on a joint mission with another child soldier. Samuel was warry at first as the 'child' towering over both of them. The 'child' was wearing a large suit of armor as he met both of them. At first, Samuel was very protective, until the person took off their helmet to show the face of Tarak. Samuel and Iris hadn't seen Tarak since they were injected with that serum that made them capable of using magic. Samuel felt the unease fall away as they started working with each other. Tarak seemed the same as always, a kind big brother, as when their little group of child soldiers grew, Tarak seemed to take more in under his wings, while never forgetting to give attention to Iris and Samuel, but Samuel was more than pleased to see Iris seeming to do better with all these other kids to play with.

After this point, the war seemed to be a bit happier? Samuel never knew what that feeling was, but he'll just say it was happy. Therewith these people that they could relate to made life a little easier. Samuel found Tarak was a glue that kept the kids around Iris happy, so Samuel found himself happy as well. As there were plenty of times where Tarak had to talk to a requisition officer to get sweets for the kids, most of the time it ended up as a no, there was the occasional 'extra shipment' of sweets the requisition officer found and had nothing to do with. Tarak took to the rationing of sweets as Samuel had always taken Iris' share, not for the fact he somehow gained a sweet tooth, but for the fact that he knew iris would eat all the candy so fast she would be sad once she had all of hers, then his, then Tarak's then probably 5 other kids candy. As really, Samuel knew Iris was too cute to say no too. These little things made Samuel feel okay, not about the war, but his life. He just had this nagging fear that wouldn't let go of him.

Near the end of the war, Samuel had heard from some soldiers there was going to be this large joint operation to finish off the Alien forces at the star system Proxima. Samuel thought this was perfect! After all, to finish off the enemies here means all of them to get to go home. Get to live a normal life, and who knows, maybe Iris can get all the candy she wants when they all get home. So Samuel threw himself to this mission like it would be his last. This mission would be the most important mission they were ever given, as they were sent in with a battalion of other Child soldiers to take over the Rau've Flagship 'Indignation'. However, Samuel realized this mission was doomed from the start as they were captured quickly, many of them taken down quickly in the ensuing firefight. As people went down, one by one, Samuel did his best to protect Iris, yet soon even they too were overwhelmed and taken down as Samuel protected Iris from a shot, yet realized too late that they were both affected by this strange poison that affected both of them.

Prisoners of War

Samuel awoke in a new place, as he shoots out of bed and starts looking around like a mad man. Finding himself in a singular cell as he closes his eyes and bites hard on his lip to tell Iris where he was, yet when she was to bite her lip back, he felt nothing. Strangely he felt…normal? No this felt strange as he called out for Iris, trying to hear for her yet through the yelling and crying of others Samuel couldn't tell which voice out of the sea of yelling was Iris' and he felt this dread as it felt like his heart was about to crack. As he felt tears well up as he sat onto his bed now at the mercy of their captors. As when they were allowed to meet with the others, Samuel went out searching for Iris, as his eyes immediately landed on Tarak as he seemed to be looking after everyone and guiding others to people they know, as Tarak made his way over to Samuel and lead Samuel to Iris. Samuel tried acting tough, yet, holding Tarak's hand almost made him cry as he was afraid, afraid if Iris was oaky. Samuel saw Iris and he ran over to her and hugged her like he thought she was dead as he cried as he held her tight. Samuel felt lost without that little magic to know Iris was okay.

Holding Iris Samuel thought everything would be okay. Big bro was there, Iris was alright, and the aliens treated them well. Samuel and Iris were able to play with everyone else who was here and it was genuinely pleasant, the Rau've given them books, puzzles, and toys. Yet one thing struck Samuel in the heart when they heard their people signed a treaty and left them. A flame burned, unquenched by Tarak as he wanted to get revenge against those who did this to Iris and him. They took away their bid for a normal life, and dare to leave them in the hands of the Rau've. Many took the option, as they did, Samuel thought he would be here alone with iris, after all, that would be all he needed, yet, Tarak stayed. Samuel still feels strange Tarak is with them, after all, he deserved a good life, just like the others who left. Yet, he was still happy, Iris seemed to like having more than one big brother taking care of her. Samuel was originally going to just find any and every way to fuck with the Ascendancy, yet Tarak cooled him down to chase the rumors of Moonstrike, a resistance against the Ascendancy. Samuel just hopes Iris doesn't regret following him.

Spell List:

spells

Gemini Link (Underworld)

Gemini Link

- A passive spell that seemed to have been innate to the Matthews twins as it connects their very souls. With this deep connection, their strength and magic become more powerful the closer they are to each other. However, this same effect happens in vis versa as the farther they are away from each other the weaker they become.

Every 100 feet they are away they lose half of their strength to the point of being 1/10 of the strength of physical and magical power they normally have.

When they are 200 feet away from each other they are at their normal strength, as every 10 feet they are closer to each other they gain 10% extra strength of physical and magical power. This goes to the point where they are holding each other they gain Triple the strength of physical and magical power they naturally have.

- This deep connection has a few detrimental parts as when one of them gets wounded the other will get an identical wound, no matter how far they are from the other.

- Anytime someone is to heal one of them of their wounds, it will heal both of them. However, this is true with all things, including magics to help and hurt, poisons and medicines, and as well as anything that will affect one with some helpful or hurtful ailment.

Magitech Creation (HIgh) Samuel can create Magitech and can power existing Magitech.

Terrakinesis (World) The control and formation of earth, stone, and dust.

Electromagnetism (World) The control over electromagnetic forces, such as electricity, magnetic forces, etc.

Light Lance (High) A large lance made of bright white energy that spans about 7 feet in length and a foot in diameter at the largest part and goes down to a small point at the end. It hits as hard as a powerful laser that burns the target and makes it where magical entities are unable to heal from it.

Boogie Woogie (Underworld) Samuel can use Boogie Woogie to trade places with Iris. Having the orientation that was had by the other person (If Samuel was facing north and Iris was facing south they would switch positions to where Samuel was facing south and Iris was facing north).

The range is about 1000 feet.

They trade spots yet are doing the same action they were doing before the switch. So if Samuel was shooting, he would teleport to Iris' spot still shooting, and Vis verse shall happen to Iris.

Appearance:

Appearance

Alexander is a fairly thin individual in the modern standard, but genetics are more to blame for this, as in actuality the Grand Admiral is very active physically, despite having reached the point where he needn't do so. For strangers and enemies, Alexander gives off an unsettling aura of intention and intimidation. Every time he shows up, they never know what his intentions are. Maybe he's looking to cooperate. Maybe he's trying to offer surrender terms. Or he is intent on wiping everybody off of existence. It's hard to know, because he always come with the high ground. For allies, everyone has noted that he gives off a very powerful sense of possibility, that they can achieve so much more under him. Alexander tends to speak more casually in private with those he knows their loyalty is secured.

His white hair is neatly cut and well-maintained. He is commonly seen sporting his black Grand Admiral uniform - to contrast with the usual dirt green uniform of the Ascendancy's officers - a symbol of authority and order that he quickly adopted as part of his public facade. He also wears glasses, but unlike everybody else, he chooses a very thick and non-transparent glasses. He begins wearing it one day, and very few actually remembered how his eyes really look. He never took it off in public, and never really explained why. Rumors said that he has feminine eyes so he has to wear them so people would take him seriously.

Biography
Alexander was born on Earth, one of the metropolitan planet in the Core World of the Ascendancy of Man, and poetically the origin of humanity itself. Rumors, whether true or false, persisted in his city that the young boy was able to compete in local chess competitions for high school students by the age of two. Nine years later, that boy beat a chess grandmaster for the first time. By the time he was seven, he attended high school and as he reached the age of thirteen, he was able to think critically and conduct certain analysis at university and post-graduate level.

His reputation spread far, but through a miraculous yet brilliant twist of fate, Alexander did not perish under the Ascendancy's early policies of using young children. Before the Ascendancy could forcibly kidnap this standout young genius, one certain nobleman, governor and politician of his planet, someone whom Alexander would look upon with respect and gratitude later in his career, offered him the opportunity to enroll in the Grand Military Academy when he reached the age of twelve. Yes, voluntarily. There, young Alexander would be given special protection from all the overly-ambitious Ascendancy's leaderships who were looking to use prodigious children as tools of their own.

There, he received over-the-top quality education that only served to further his inhuman ability. By the time he was eighteen, the normal eligible age, he went into officer training. He became a ship's midshipman aboard a Cruiser by the age of twenty, and then a captain of a dreadnought by the age of twenty-one. Things go uphill very quickly for Alexander. From the command of one individual ship, he rose to the rank of Commodore, commanding a dreadnought and two cruisers, then to Admiral, taking charge of a fleet of seven ships, consisting of cruisers, battleships and fleet carriers, with his personal capital ship. His finest hour was during the first years of the Rau've War. Alexander was the mastermind behind Operation Conundra, in which was a successful lightning military campaign against the Rau've important military targets. It is considered by most, if not all analyst, to be a spectacular tactical victory, as it disabled over half of the Rau've's space fleet in a course of a few weeks. However, some analyst considers it a strategic defeat, but most Ascendancy's military commanders see otherwise, as subsequent military actions were the prime reason for their defeats later on. Nevertheless, Alexander was promoted to the rank of Grand Admiral by the age of thirty for the successful strike.

That was the peak of his career, however. As the war progressed on, Alexander could see the Ascendancy's armies slowly stagnating in its track and entrenched. Foreseeing a long-term war, the newly promoted Grand Admiral proposes a more defensive plans, intending to play the game with them, the game that he excels at. However, the high command rejected this proposal, as they found it too passive. As a result, the scale of war gradually tipped to the Rau've, as things began to go downhill for the Ascendancy. With Alexander's effort, however, he manages to lure the Rau've forces into a decisive battle at Proxima. There, he was determined to crush the Rau've's forces with his superior ships. His initial plans for the battle was to entrench the Rau've in the defense line while destroying the backbone of the Rau've heavy ships and guns with field artilleries and carriers before steamrolling the smaller pawns with the dreadnoughts. This, however, was countered by the Ascendancy's high command, through lack of understanding of rules of warfare. This was the last straw for the Grand Admiral. He knew the Ascendancy was doomed, but didn't want his men to die in vain, so he counter-proposed to let his ships remain in reserve, ready to back up the troops at the front once the defense line was breached. His proposal was granted, but he did not keep his promise.

Before he knew it, the war was over. A peace treaty was signed, with the Ascendancy's army from an intergalactic force to almost complete destruction, with only the 1st Fleet completely intact and ready for combat. This was the wake-up call for Alexander, as he redoubled his effort to expand his military forces. He spent his post-war year maintaining order around the Ascendancy as well as speeding up several of his pet-peeve project for his army.

Finest Hours (To be Revised)

August 2374

Planet Wasa, Rau’ve’s Space Dock #3

The war had begun more than three months ago, but the Rau’ve had already been decimated. Their poorly prepared defense line would be a source of ridicule among historians for generations to come. The Ascendancy’s space fleet sliced through their lines like a knife through butter. Their once mighty two carrier space fleets now two asteroid belts of metal. The third one, having managed to escape the carnage of Alexander’s lightning campaign, retreated to the orbit of Planet Wasa, one of their Space Dock deep in their home territory, initially for refit of armaments and space planes in order to counter the superior Ascendancy’s armor and firepower. Too bad for them that they would never be able to accomplish their original objective. For by the time the Rau’ve finally got together the tools to upgrade their fleet, the Ascendancy would have been at their very door steps, with bombs all over their vegetable heads. And six months later, the Ascendancy’s flag would be flying high at their capital.

Upon the news of the Rau’ve’s second line of defense being breached, the Rau’ve’s third carrier group had instead dug into their docks and made it their fortress. With the remnants of the broken second defense line rendezvousing at the once prosperous industrial planet, they were determined to halt the rapid advances of the Ascendancy’s Navy. But if only if they knew who they were up against…

“4 Dreadnoughts, 6 Cruisers, 15 Frigates, 12 Corvettes and most importantly 3 Carriers.” Said the grey-haired admiral, wearing the standard dark grey Ascendancy’s officer’s uniform, sitting at the far end of the table. His eyes hidden behind the thickness of the glasses, adding another layer to the already present aura of mystery and chilliness. “That’s our price for the taking.”

“But they are dug into their asteroid belt, with multiple stationary guns on the asteroids. And even though we have the same number of carriers, their number of ships in total are nearly twice our numbers” Replied one other commanding officer at the table, this one sitting right next to Alexander, his embellishment missing a star comparing to Alexander’s. His voice lowered. His eyes twitched as he kept his gaze on the battlefield being replicated in the hologram right in front of him on the table.

“They fight as one we’ll kill them as one.”

“They’ve chained up now, it’d be hard to break.”

“Not with the right way.” Said Alexander, eyeing over the battle overview. “The Rau’ve's position implies they are trying to counter our lightning strike strategy. We'll present them something else at the last minute, and we shall watch them fall apart...”

And that was exactly what he did. And it all began with his explanation.

“The Rau’ve have chosen the battlefield in a way that can maximize the strength of their numbers. Our forces will approach them just like we usually do. Like a nailboard…”
“Lan, you will be commanding this front.”

---

The next day, what was materialized on that holographic table was right there, on the space just a few thousand kilometers wide area of space, with the asteroid belt flooded with those heavy hitting anti-armor railguns. And that would be the thing the Ascendancy’s Navy would have to break in order to win this battle. Along with the lines of guns are capital ships, frigates and corvettes taking their cover behind these meteorites, ready to meet their adversary. And right behind those things would be the reserve fleet. And behind that the carriers. Those juicy target that Alexander was longing for.

The Rau’ve was certainly surprised by the speed of the Ascendancy’s Navy, but they were not daunted. Morales were high, and they were determined. But their pride had blinded them. For the Ascendancy approached the battle line just like how Alexander had told them, but with a single twist.

---

“But this time, our dreadnoughts will not be at the front anymore. Instead, the breakthrough will be made by the heavy cruisers.”

---

And indeed, they were. Right at the front, ready to charge into the thick. And they went under the blind’s eyes.

---

”Before the charge, however, I want you two brothers, Nawal and Rar, to destroy their air group.”

---

And so the battle began. The Ascendancy’s carriers immediately sent out hundreds of their star fighters, accompanied by other ships in the fleet, though with lesser numbers. And in response, the Rau’ve also dispatched their entire fighter groups to the ensuing battle. The air fight opened the curtain for one of the most biggest space dogfight the universe has ever seen. In a narrow area of empty space, nearly five hundred fighters had slammed themselves against each other, greeting each other with bullets and metals, clashing with the others on a personal level. And those to come out victorious, could change the course of the entire battle.

---

”If we win this air fight, we win the entire battle. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is. Even if you suffer massive casualties you must gain air supremacy.”

---

All of Alexander’s hope for this battle came in the form of a few hundred fighters. He normally despised relying on one single thing in battle, but this was the only time he had to put faith in it. On the grittiness, the well-trained pilot of the Ascendancy’s Air Force.
It was chaos. A birthplace of aces, but a cemetery for hundreds of young men and women. A clash of steel, of skills, of wits, but not without blood from either sides. But the ensuing 15 minutes battle had emerged the Ascendancy as the victorious side. Air supremacy had been achieved.

---

”While the air battle concludes itself, our breakthrough forces will surge forward. The Rau’ve will definitely respond with a hail of fire from their asteroid guns.”

---

As the cruisers moved, the guns lit themselves up. Hell ensued for the heavy cruisers. Of course because the cruisers were not as heavily armored as the dreadnoughts, they were not as well protected as them. They would reach the belt faster than the dreadnoughts would, but in doing so, some began to burn...

---

”Do not relent. Once your cruisers reach the asteroid belt, you will have time to repair, in which you must, because the Rau’ve will throw ahead their reserve, to push us back.”

---

And exactly that, they surged forward, frigates, corvettes and dreadnoughts descended upon them, taking the Ascendancy’s cruisers right on their faces. The Ascendancy’s advances had been halted.

---

”At this point, the Rau’ve will think their plan worked.”

---

The cruisers slowly backed, as the Rau’ve poured down fire upon their invaders. Some unfortunate were left burning…

---

”Give ground, and let them believe.”

---

Soon, the grounds the Ascendancy had gained were handed back to the Rau’ve, as fightings intensified. Guns blazed, star fighters answered. The entire asteroid belt was lit up by a spectacular lightshow of fire and bullet. No ships were willing to relent, as they continuously hailed down fire upon anything that moves, until they could no longer

At this point, the Rau’ve had the reason to be proud. They held their ground, they pushed the Ascendancy’s back. They thought they may have ended the myth of Ascendancy’s invincibility. And they were led to believe, as their lines between the reserve and the front began to merge

---

”It is then that we will mobilize our two dreadnoughts in reserves, and our remaining bombers, destroy the entire belt.”

---

It was too late for them.

When they had realized their mistake, they had nowhere to go. Any form of retreat would mean giving the Ascendancy the means to break their line completely. But staying would mean no different. The Ascendancy do not intend to play a fair game here. They only have one objective, and that is to obliterate the Rau’ve’s naval fleet completely.

From above and below, Ascendancy’s dreadnoughts approached, like the hammer and anvil. Their huge battle cannons turned, strangling the Rau’ve with every angle. Bombers from the carriers accompanied them in the violent purge with their shield-deactivation bombs. Once they had locked on their targets, it was when chaos descended. It was the same for the killed and the survivors. When they opened their eyes, it was a scene right from the depths of hell.

The Ascendancy blew up the entire asteroid belts. They buried the Rau’ve alive.

---

”The rest of the fleet will charge forward, surround the belt, and cut down any stragglers.
There will be no mercy.”

---

The winner had been decided in the first fifteen minutes of the fight. And the tide turned in just less than 5 minutes.

In those 5 minutes, the Rau’ve’s forces went from solid confidence and discipline into a complete riot. Those who were courageous enough to remain in the fight were cut down without mercy, their corpse dissolved in the flames of burning ships. If one still valued their very lives, then he must strip away their weapons, armor and gave themselves in voluntarily, for they may find the Ascendancy’s prison having a higher chance of survival. Those foolish enough to run away from battle, the Ascendancy spared no moments of hesitation. The lighter ships charged forward, unleashing barrages of rocket and main battery fire, disintegrating the Rau’ve’s armors in seconds. Screams echoed, as panic settled into the ranks of the Rau’ve, until there were no more organization, no more resemblance of a military forces, just a massive hulk of crowd running fearfully for their lives. And then, there were no more…

---

“It was the greatest battlefield victory of the age. Their entire fleet was destroyed or captured. Not one single ship made it back to their home for any form of resistance. And above all, over fifty thousand Rau’ves, including five high-ranking generals and many officers had been declared killed in action. Our road to the capital had been opened.

Today is a victory greater than any victories the Ascendancy could have achieved throughout its one hundred years of rules. A victory that would solidify me as the greatest Ascendancy’s military commander of all time.

And yet I felt no sense of triumph…”

His life story

The Mind of a Genius

"Alright, Alex. How about you, can you solve this equation?"

The teacher said, as he gently handed his child the pen to the holographic board. A child of merely eight years of age. Among a crowd of thirty kids, all one head taller than him. The kid was reluctant to be called so suddenly, but at the gentleness and politeness of his professor, he found himself unable to deny his offer.

The child slid out of his chair, walked to the board and slowly, his hand holding the pen to which he would write with. As he neared, he simply stood still, silent. He inhaled, and exhaled. Again, and again.

And he wrote.

"This is an equation that if you follow the conventional way of solving, it will resolve in a massive power number, which is technically very difficult to solve. But if you prove and apply this inequation to our main problem, it is possible to see that the left hand side of the verse can be reduced to this, which is always larger or equal to the right side of the verse, which is zero. So the equation only occurs when a specific condition is met in the left side of the verse. This greatly reduced the complexity of our problem, and it's quite straightforward from there."

The boy put down his pen, as he finished the last of his solution, as he slowly returned to the seat. But what he did not notice, perhaps too young to notice, were the eyes towards him. His teacher. His peers. Even the parents of some other kids who happened to be there at the time.
They were shocked beyond belief.

---

"...In my years of teaching, I've never seen a mind like your son’s."
"The reason that Kobald failed on his conquest I believe was more to his own logistic than his enemy's tactical ability like you said teacher. The guerrilla soldiers did little in terms of combat, but it was the scorched earth policy done by the citizens that actually dealt the damage. Kobald's region was too far away for a reliable source of provisions, so he brought little and mostly lived off his conquered land, which was vulnerable to this policy"

"He possesses the mind of a genius. One that many centuries we have yet to see again."

"Castling on the king side is the most common move here, as it would grant the king additional protection against the enemy's knights and bishops, but if we play Queen to A4, it will block that Knight from going anywhere, while threatening the D4 pawn, so it's a more reasonable move."

"He’s the only underaged student we have admitted, and yet he has already learnt everything we could ever hope to teach a child ten years older than him. There’s nothing more here for him to learn. Please, you have to let him go with us."

The teacher begged, again, as his parents began to feel more and more reluctant.

"He is too young..." His mother said, her voice full of indecisions.

"I am aware ma'am." The teacher responded. "But his reputation has already spread across the school. No, the district now. It is only a matter of time until the Ascendancy took notice of his unusual mind."

His mother's eyelids dropped, as if the dam was about to break. His father looked at his son, who was innocently reading the book inside his room, completely unaware of what was being discussed outside. There were inside rumors of the Ascendancy intending to kidnap prodigious kids for a special military program. And they all knew the system at play here, it wasn't that hard to believe. It was perhaps the only situation when a parent would be in painful tears upon the discovery that their child was a genius.

It would be hard. For him to face reality this early. For his parents, to not worry about him. And for both of them, to say their goodbyes.

"I understand your concern. It's better to be voluntary early, than being forced out later. I know a person that can help him avoid that fate. But please..."

"Teacher, am I right?"

"...you have to let him go."

Proxima (v.2)

He knew this would be his legacy. Like the great Napoleon who was only remembered for his defeat at Waterloo, Alexander would be remembered for this one decision that he decided not to mention to the higher ups of the Ascendancy. Not his Operation Conundra, nor the Seven Days Campaign he just emerged from completely exhausted. All because this god damned collective group of unevolved electrum-licking troglodytes, who looked at a man defeating a fleet 3 times his size 6 times over and decided to go deaf on him. The president too spoke in favor of this plan. He'd had enough. That man can flex his insecurities all he wants, Alexander would not let the consequences rolling over his own soldiers.

He decided not to take part in this battle.

"When the 3rd line got counter-ambushed, which they will, that's when we will be called in." Alexander's voices echoed across the map room. "Whatever you do, do not respond. Don't move forward, don't provide any artillery, air support and don't reply, even if they plead."

"Ohhhh, I wish." One of the admirals in the room, Lan, said. "I'd like to see their faces when they flew too close to the sun."

"Believe me I want to see it too," The Grand Admiral shrugged. "but the last thing I want are records of you taunting our own allies as they die."

"Aye, no problem." She briefly replied, soldier-like. "Alrighty then, if there's nothing more to that, I'll prepare myself to see thousands of men and women die."

Normally, Alexander would respond with something witty, but there were no good responses to the scenario. Many of these guys were conscripts that had to choose either a bullet to the head or this. The Star Marines too. They were one of those people he could relate to, despite his harsh attitude towards them, and now they were likely to just die.

"Yeah that as well." He simply just nodded. "Good luck everyone...and I'm glad to be fighting alongside all of you. Now, it's whatever comes next."

All the admirals in the room gave Alexander a simultaneous salute, before their holograms began to shut off one by one.

---

Rarely ever would one see a moment of tranquility in the Grand Admiral's life. It was the roaring stream on a river; whether it be his child prodigy fame, his progression through the army academies, or his unparalleled generalship in this war, they were all propelling him into unknown territory too quickly. But today, he had his calm waters. All plans had been laid out for his generals, his officers were already preparing for the battle, the aftermath were already covered with his contingencies. At this point, there was nothing left to make himself occupied, but sitting down to actually take a deep look in the mirror.

In that mirror, there was a man. He stood upright, his hands clasped in front of his stomach, donned in a black Grand Admiral uniform. Unlike the normal dark grey officer uniform of the Ascendancy military, the black represented power and terror, befitting the individuals worthy of such authorities. Indeed he could feel the power radiating from this cotton fabric. People cower, soldiers stand at attention, officers listen, officials drawn toward, the person wearing this uniform commanded a certain recognition without the need to prove leadership or competence. As such, in a way, he felt a certain comfort donning this uniform. The man was a force of nature, his ingenuity brought about many victories for his followers, his charisma brought hope for everyone who listened.

His hands raised up for his eyes, his two fingers pinched the two end pieces near the hinges, moving it away from him. And right there was Alexander, and his once charming lively eyes had gone a little dull over the years. He loved puzzle games, board games, reading books, or just trying out new things, new activities that he probably never knew existed. He loved talking to people too, sometimes just chilling out with them over a good movie, a cup of tea or a funny topic that he could ramble into the night. But who in this universe would willing to sit down with him for that? Who would be willing to learn about his love for a good romance story? In this uniform, who would be willing to do all of that?

Alexander washed his hands and face before exiting the bathroom to his desk. He tried to turn the desk lamp on, but it apparently broke. Something to notify the logistics team for sure. But for now, he was going to turn on the room light instead, as he wasn't going to do much. But something told him not to. He reached out for his drawer instead. The one at the very bottom, his hands grabbed a few things in it and laid them out carefully in front of him. One was a small picture. A paperback picture. Not very commonly seen nowadays. And in it was a young boy, gray-haired but without glasses, smiling prettily. The boy was barely even six when this picture was taken. And next to him, crouching and holding onto his shoulder was another person with the gorgeous silky platinum hair, tied into a side bun whilst the rest left hanging down to her waist. Her smile perfectly matched her beauty. And standing right next to the two mother and son was the final puzzle to make a happy family. At the back of the picture was a beautiful feminine handwriting. The other was also a paperback picture, this boy had grown a little from the last one, surrounded by a group of kids his age. One of them was a tangerine-haired girl, overflowing with energy in her ponytail and sky-blue eyes, while another blonde girl was charming and welcoming from her kind smile. The back of the photo still carried all their names.

The last item he took out was a wooden-electrum mixed figure. A small figure that could lie comfortably in his palm, shaped like a tower, a crown and a ball on top of it. A majestic queen, the most powerful and most important piece on the chess board, one that under no circumstances should Alexander allow her to be lost. Standing next to the two photos, in the dark it glowed beautiful apricots, as Alexander laid on his desk observing. The amber light illuminated his eyes, giving the Grand Admiral a brief peace of mind in the dark juncture he found himself at.

Name: Iris Matthews
Age: 15 almost 16
Physical Description: 5'8

Iris

Important items:
A locket with a picture of Samuel and our Family

Identical wrist bands that make a heart when connected with Samuel's half

A gold ring that matches Samuel's ring

Omni-tool- A Galactic Swiss Army Knife. Always the right tool for the job

Basic Medkit

Perfected Electrum Gauntlets and Grieves- Simple gauntlet and grieves that host Iris's Molecular Deconstruction and Samuel's Terrakinesis. Using the Terrakinesis she can form heavy stone armor around her body. Break up and launch it at enemies using Molecular Deconstruction followed by Terrakinesis. She can bust through almost any solid material using Molecular Deconstruction. Using the deconstruction on the ground allows her to control it as well. Essentially she is an earth bender on steroids.

Spell List:

Gemini Link (Underworld) - A passive spell that seemed to have been innate to the Matthews twins as it connects their very souls. With this deep connection, their strength and magic become more powerful the closer they are to each other. However, this same effect happens in vis versa as the farther they are away from each other the weaker they become.
Every 100 feet they are away they lose half of their strength to the point of being 1/10 of the strength of physical and magical power they normally have.
When they are 200 feet away from each other they are at their normal strength, as every 10 feet they are closer to each other they gain 10% extra strength of physical and magical power. This goes to the point where they are holding each other they gain Triple the strength of physical and magical power they naturally have. - This deep connection has a few detrimental parts as when one of them gets wounded the other will get an identical wound, no matter how far they are from the other.
- Anytime someone is to heal one of them of their wounds, it will heal both of them. However, this is true with all things, including magics to help and hurt, poisons and medicines, and as well as anything that will affect one with some helpful or hurtful effect.

Enchantment (High)- Iris can give an object magical powers; said powers are any of her spells or a spell lent by a willing partner

Molecular Deconstruction (Change)- Turning solid objects into their smaller parts. Like rock to dust, metal to metal sands, plastic to oil, or simply breaking up its singular form. Works on inanimate objects. It rapidly spreads through the object. It can also be projected like an invisible wall around 5 meters across and 3 meters high. It projects from Iris's intent

Restore (Change)- Iris restores the body to a version she has seen in the last 4 hours. If the person has already died all it does is put the body back together. The more deteriorated or damaged the body is the higher the cost of repairing the body. Iris must make contact with the body for it to work. This does not work on Kaisoken.

Your it! (Change)- Iris looks at a person or a thing, attracting anything that she throws, and the magic she uses and modifies chases the target.

Exceptional Hand to Hand

Backstory

Twin Stars

Iris was born with her twin, Samuel, to Richard and Joanne. Richard Matthews worked as a Star Ship Inspector and Joanne Matthews worked as a meteor miner. Mom was working one of the drills when she went into labor. 6 hours later, the twins were born. Iris was very healthy and came out screaming her lungs off. Samuel was born smaller and quiet, lacking the constitution of most newborns. As they grew, these differences at birth seemed to define their traits early in life. Iris had grown quickly, towering over Samuel. She loved to play games, sports, and adventure. Iris was quite a handful to deal with and she would usually get ahead of herself and leave everyone behind. However, she would always run back for her brother, She enjoyed teasing him calling him little brother, poking fun at his size. Whenever Iris made Samuel cry on accident she would panic and cry too. Although she was quite the athlete and developed a strong personality, what she lacked was academic skills. She was truly an idiot. If it weren't for Samuel and the threat of no more sweets, she would have been held back. She could never stand being away from Samuel for more than a few hours. Any more and she would throw a truly outrageous fit.

Their parents loved Iris and Samuel but not in the normal way. Having twins that were almost like opposites entertained them. Iris and Samuel were almost status symbols to them. Iris could never tell the difference and saw it as normal. Their gifts were meant to sell how close they were as siblings, adding to the look of the family unit. Iris couldn't help but love every matching present they got, each one becoming a new treasure to her. Samuel was her brother and best friend and these gifts that connected them were nothing short of proof that it was true. Sadly this started to create the notion that their relationship with Samuel was more important than any relationship with her friends or even her parents.

Just turning 10 the day before Iris wasn't done celebrating with Samuel. She pulled him along to a remote woodland park that she discovered the other day when she hopped on the bus for no reason. It was new and full of adventure. Iris was running everywhere checking out all sorts of things. However, all this running had made her hungry. There she saw an ice cream van. Having 5 credits in her pocket and those sweet treats were a weakness for her. She ran over and started to order 2 churros, 2 vanilla cones, and 2 sodas. The white-haired man asked what the occasion was and Iris without thought spurted out it was her birthday with a big energetic smile. The man smiled and told that if she came to the back of the truck he would give her some candy. Iris was a naïve girl and the man in the van sold ice cream. How could he be bad? She ran to the back and out popped some men in black, trying to grab her. She was able to resist for a while by kicking and screaming for Samuel. She even bit one hard enough it went through his pants and drew blood. However, in the end was pulled into the van which started to move. Still struggling, she heard Samuel coming over. The scene that followed was gruesome as Samuel reached in at the exact moment they slammed the van door. The metal edge of the door had sheered his arm off. Iris screamed in the realization of what happened and passed out from shock.

Days in captivity

Iris slowly came to consciousness in a windowless grey room. Old stale air filled the room, a juxtaposition to the clean air of the park she and her brother were at. As Iris slowly rose to her knees, Samuel seemed to hover near her, seemingly trying to keep her calm. Iris, however, was still foggy on what had occurred but she could at least tell Samuel was okay. With that, she hugged into him and cried for a bit as their situation became clearer to her as he regained focus. Soon they told us they were at a laboratory owned by the government. Iris wanted to ask more questions to her captors but Samuel always told her that it be unwise to do so. Soon training and experiments began. Iris's sense of self deteriorated quickly but Samuel held her together through the worst of it. She will always remember the sweets he would give her in the facility. The only sense of normality they had was each other and she was always scared to lose Samuel. The cramp spaces started to make her feel like the walls were always closing in and before she knew it she had developed claustrophobia.

A few months into the brutal training, Iris and Samuel ran into an older boy, Tarak. Iris was nervous at first, him being so much older made her feel as if maybe he was somehow working with the adults. Iris observed him speaking with the other kids and seeing how they liked him, she followed suit eventually and started to like him as well. Soon he was the only other person Iris trusted besides Samuel. His having candy also helped her trust him as ironic as that seemed.

Tarak appearing at the facility was followed in an increased intensity of training. They kicked up the training ludicrous levels. The start was okay but the mental toll was starting to have Iris's energy wane as every day of this hellish regime broke her down more and more. Samuel and Iris were barely able to move at the end of the day but Tarak was always there at the end of the day to make sure we could continue. Iris would have not have been able to continue if it wasn't for both Samuel and Tarak. Iris remembered when Samuel came to her bunk to check on her after a particularly hard day. He jumped into the bunk and comforted her till she would fall asleep giving her the first restful sleep she had in months. At first, Iris thought she was just a burden for Samuel and Tarak, never seeing her worth to them. During a certain night she woke as it seemed Samuel had awakened in a cold sweat, she watched him hold into her. The sight of her tired and scared brother forged a strong resolve to keep him safe, to be there for him. She knew she wasn't tough like them but all she could do was smile for them then that is what she would do.

Basic training had finally completed for the twins and Iris had grown stronger. Iris walked around the base looking for Tarak or Samuel. She didn’t like being by herself in this place, it made her remember their kidnapping. It wasn't long before she noticed there were fewer kids around and her heart began to sink as she began to worry about her brother. Almost paralyzed with anxiety and fear before those feelings were uprooted by Samuel hugging her. She felt true relief that he was okay and they were together. It wasn't long until some men in black started to grab them. Almost like last time she started to resist. Biting and kicking through the entire exchange. They were trying to separate them. If they weren't wearing face mask she would have tried to bite at their face and pluck their eyes out. Anything to keep Samuel together. Eventually, they just decided to take us together. As they walked Iris held Samuel's hand trying to act tough but Samuel could feel how shaky her grasp was. As they were brought to an operating room and hastily were strapped to their tables. They began to pierce our skin with countless needles that were all connected to this see-through vat of white-rainbow liquid. The liquid began to move down the tubes, inching closer to the injection site. Iris began to panic and started to try to break out of her confines. She looked over to see how Samuel was reacting and saw him mouth "it's alright, I'm here". All she could do was lay back and smile. No matter what we'll be alright were her only thoughts as the liquid pumped through their veins. She tried to hold in her screams but the pain was just too much to bear and she didn't even know when she passed out from the pain. Later they woke up in their bunk, holding each other. She couldn't help but smile and say were alright to Samuel, holding him tighter after that through the pain.

By some weird coincidence, it seemed that Iris and Samuel were linked by magic. The scientist couldn't help but test the twin's unique magic. These "tests" were just as crude as poking a frog with a stick to see if it did something. Through the experiments, they discovered how their power worked at the very least. Iris loved this power to her that proved to her that their connection was something truly magical. Whenever Iris got hurt Samuel would run over to check on her and make sure she was okay. She started to get use to the attention from Samuel and to a degree became more greedy with her doting brother. He seemed to enjoy it too so she just decided that being the "little" sister wasn't that bad. Magic training wasn't nearly as bad as basic training and she could feel a part of her personality come back as in private she started to tease him a little. They started to work with each other's magic to become a real unit, combining spells and coming up with strategies to support each other. Iris found it a lot of fun to be working with Samuel. Although they were held here against their will if she didn’t try to have fun it would mean she would break her resolve.

Fog of War

Once Iris and Samuel seemed to make the requirements set by the government they were sent off. Battles were more intense than they could imagine. It was truly dizzying what they would expect of the child soldiers. Blood and death were tough for the first few battles but Iris was always got by it knowing Samuel was there. Well more exactly, Iris started to see the battles as simply an exchange in away. To Iris, her and Samuel life's were worth more than everything else. She balanced all the things she did for her and her brother and that protected her delicate sense of self intact through all the death and bloodshed. The officers were definitely annoying though. She knew if she responded or let them get to her so she did her best to close off even to her own allies.

About a year and a half into the war life had tried to become normal but it felt as if something was missing that Iris couldn't place. However, the answer seemed to be assigned to them as a huge "child" approached decked out in power armor. Iris was worried because honestly calling this guy a kid was stretching the definition of kid. Samuel stood in front of Iris to keep her safe. However, a welcomed surprise occurred as the guy removed his helmet revealing big brother Tarak! Neither of them had seen Tarik since the injections, Iris started to believe that he was one of the ones that couldn't withstand the infusion. Either way, Iris couldn't hold her excitement as she threw herself at Tarak to hug him. Fighting with Tarak made things less stressful having someone to help out. Tarak did the normal thing and started to take more under his wing and more people joined our little company. Iris loved every ounce of attention she got from Tarak. Her heart softened up a little with Tarik around.

Everyone's mood seemed to improve as things went by despite the bloody war always looming. She didn't know how to describe it but she felt close to all of them. Samuel's sour mood seemed to finally start improving and that was a relief to Iris. She had been scared that during him trying to keep her safe that he was going to lose something that can't be replaced. Tarek would always get candy somehow and would hand it out between the kids. Candy was still one of Iris's favorite things and is probably still the quickest way to get on her good side. No matter how much candy she was given it would always be gone in a day or 2. However, she would always give Samuel the puppy eyes to get his candy, then she would do the cutesy routine to all the other child soldiers to get all their leftover sweets. These were the good times before the war kept its promise of ruining our lives.

We were given a mission to wipe out the alien forces in the star system Proxima. This would wipe the opposing forces out, that was our final mission. It all felt too surreal that after this mission we could all go home, we could all be normal again. Samuel could start being a nerd again and Iris could be that typical high school girl that loved sweets! But there was something that outweighed this excitement. Iris believed that the potential rewards of this mission would lead Samuel to do too much and throw himself into this mission holding nothing back. We were given the mission of raiding their flagship Indignation. Iris was nervous before the mission but not just for her and Samuel. For Tarak and the rest of their group that they have made from all of this warring. She realized as she looked down at her locket and opened it. As she looked at her brother she felt love and a deep want to protect them but when she looked at her parents the emotions were nearly as intense. She looked up to the group and the feelings were so much stronger for them than she thinks she ever felt for her parents. She did a silent apology to her parents in the frame and replaced it with a picture of her new family.

Prisoners of War

However, the mission fell apart almost instantly, as these weird darts had started to knock out their teammates one after another. One of the darts got her in the leg leaving her half-awake as she watched some of her family get gunned down and watched her brother literally take bullets to keep her safe. She could only watch as they hurt them. She pleaded countless times to Samuel to just leave her. But he wouldn't. Soon they were knocked out. In her unconscious state, she envisioned for family being slaughtered over and over again like some sort of wicked fate.

She awoke to shake from her night terror, already hyperventilating and about to go enter hysteria when she realized that if she was alive then Samuel might be as well. She bit the lip like Samuel and she had practiced to let each other know we were okay. But she felt nothing, no response, nothing. He didn’t respond. Hysteria began to set in for her as her nightmare seemed like it was coming to life. She tried to break out, using her magic but nothing sprang forth from her will. She couldn't use magic. She stopped and thought maybe she just can't feel Samuel at the moment. With that, she fruitlessly took her fist to the door trying to break it. She yelled out for Samuel as her fist went bloody, breaking it in her hysteria. Eventually, she had passed out from exhaustion.

Eventually, they let us meet without fellow captives. As she saw some of her group was not there she started to cry into Tarak's chest, mourning the death of their friends. She didn't see Samuel either and for the moments he was not there she felt so empty like something had been ripped out of her. Tarak let Iris mourn for a bit, running off to go help the others. Soon Iris pinged up to see Samuel, still alive. She rose to her feet as he came near. She held him gently because she couldn't squeeze yet, she still felt too weak to squeeze. She never wanted to be apart from Samuel again. Things calmed down as she had to accept who had died and just hold them in memory. During this time Iris had become more clingy to Samuel than usual. To the point, she doesn't remember being away from him for more than a few minutes at a time. The Rau've treated them much more humanely than their own people did. Samuel informed her that the Ascendancy had made peace with the Rau've and the war was over. Iris was overjoyed knowing that no more children would have to fight and die as their family did. But Iris could see that Samuel didn't feel the same way. He wanted revenge and Iris knew that. She could relate to him but the idea of being in danger for revenge wasn't the way for her. She wanted to be normal. But when she looked at how determined Samuel was she couldn't help but go with him. After all, wherever Samuel goes she will follow. Forever.

Avelyn Vernal

Avelyn Vernal

Age: 18

Appearance

Voice: Marit Børresen
Height: 176 cm
Weight: 67 kg

Personal belongings

• Omni-tool - A miniature Computer that allows for communication, calculation, data storage and augmented reality navigation.
• Credits - A few thousand digital from the Rau’ve, few hundred in material form. Don’t ask where the latter came from.
• Electronics toolkit - Meant for dismantling and repairing computers. Also works for bypassing locks and simpler alarms on the hardware level.
• Armor – Ballistic vest made to be concealed under clothing, made of overlapping circular tungsten plates sown into the Kevlar fabric. Armor with small metal plates does not degrade as fast with successive hits as large ceramic ones and even should one fail, the surrounding body area is still protected, but comes at the cost of not standing up to dedicated armor penetrating munitions.

Weapons: None.

Spell List

• Illusion (Mind): Avelyn can create an audiovisual illusion perceptible by a single individual. She has to concentrate on keeping the illusion and cannot do anything else that requires her mental faculties (she can create an illusion while performing simple or routine tasks, but not when doing somehting that requires ehr to think too hard about it). The illusion can be virtually anything, but bigger or more detailed things require more focus and take a greater toll on her. Keeping the illusion for more than a few minutes leads to headaches, nausea and general exhaustion. The illusion can only be seen by the affected individual and Avelyn and cannot physically interact with the world.
• Mind Bridge (Mind): By far the most advanced spell available to her, Mind Bridge allows her to passively pick up surface thoughts and strong emotions of people around her. Normally, she can suppress this, but when unable to concentrate, even a small crowd can become a nuisance and a large one an overwhelming distraction.
  
  Its more tasking, active use allows Avelyn to relive the memories of others or share hers with someone else. The process requires physical contact and complete concentration, sending both Avelyn and her victim into a trance-like state. Memory extraction time ranges from milliseconds to a few seconds, depending on the target’s mentality and training to resist such practices, but the more the target fights it, the worse their headache will be when she’s done. She cannot create new memories or change or remove existing ones.
  
  As a side effect of this memory-altering spell, Avelyn’s memory improved. Not to any superhuman level, but her memories, especially the extracted ones, remain vivid and accurate much longer than usual, as Mind Bridge accesses the memories as they are stored in the brain as opposed to as one recalls it. To ‘clean up’ in her brain to avoid information overload, Avelyn’s learned to intentionally forget things and is currently working on extending this ability beyond her own memory.
• Command (Mind): Avelyn can give an order to a single person. To do this, she needs to perform a specific hand gesture and say the order out loud. Her target needs to hear her and understand the language. If the target loses consciousness or experiences intense pain (like gunshot wounds), the spell loses effect. She may also intentionally cancel it.
• Gravity Manipulation (World): Avelyn can manipulate objects at a distance by creating small gravity fields. Applying its effects to herself allows her to jump higher, slow her fall or make small adjustments to her velocity mid-air, but does not allow flight.
  
  Due to its versatility both on and off the battlefield, she devoted a lot of time to practicing control and pushing the boundaries of this spell, giving her very precise control over the size, shape and power of the fields. While she can manipulate gravity through thought alone, specific hand gestures help her focus when she requires precise control.
• Pyrokinesis (World): Allows Avelyn to heat up and cool down materials by increasing or decreasing the kinetic energy of the atoms making them up, to the point of causing the material to ignite. She doesn’t have to see the object, but must know its approximate location.
  
  Much like with Gravity Manipulation, Avelyn gave a lot of time to practice and improvement of this spell due to its on and off the field versatility.
• Deflection (World): Summons a rapidly shifting, head-height gravity field in front of Avelyn to shield her from attacks. Unlike Gravity Manipulation, Avelyn cannot influence the strength, direction, shape or location of the field, but it's strong enough to alter the direction of incoming projectiles. Physical contact with the field is not recommended.

(In)Abilities

Abilities

• Augmented Awareness: During training, Avelyn’s ears have been severely damaged by an explosion. To restore her hearing, she was given cybernetic implants that can pick up and amplify distant or quiet sounds as well as lower the volume of loud sounds to protect what little remains of her biological ears, effectively making them better than before. When paired with an Omni-tool, the right ear implant can play audio files and receive transmissions, allowing incoming voice communication inaudible to others.
  
  Without her implants, Avelyn is for all intents and purposes deaf. Her left ear is severely damaged and her right inner ear has been completely replaced with cybernetics. As a side effect of this, disabling her implants will make keeping balance much more challenging, though not impossible.
  
  Additionally, biotech implants in Avelyn’s eyes mimic the tapeta lucida found in nocturnal animals, granting her better vision in low-light conditions. While in dim light, Avelyn can only discern shades of gray and bright shades of green. The implants react to incoming light intensity and only work under a certain threshold to avoid overbright in daytime. The implants only amplify existing light, therefore she will still be blind in a completely dark environment and they do not protect her eyes from bright lights.
• Deep Reserves: She doesn't punch the hardest, run the fastest or lifts the most, but she's found out that the people who do those things usually can't keep it up for too long. When she doesn't have the luxury of quickly downing an opponent with magic, she'll resort to tiring them out, biding her time until they make a mistake.
• Agile: Avelyn has a good deal of dexterity from stealing, further helped by her acquired ambidexterity, agility from quickly navigating various environments and, being primarily a close-quarters combatant when magic fails, quick reflexes from fighting.
• Polyglot: Due to her many forays into human and alien minds, she has become fluent in both written and spoken form of several languages, though she has an accent in alien tongues. The different accents are caused by the differences between human and alien vocal cords, mouth structure and other body parts invlved.

Inabilities

• Thalassophobia: The combination of being from a world without a hydrosphere and only a rudimentary ability to swim leads to a deply ingrained fear of deep or large bodies of water. Once she can’t see, or at least reach the bottom, she’s not going in unless there is absolutely no other way, and being suddenly immersed in a volume of water larger than a tub will also likely cause no small amount of panic. Symptoms include rapid breathing, elevated heartrate, shortness of breath and inability to focus.
• Eduaction Gaps: Kidnapped at the age of fourteen, Avelyn’s education was mostly put on hold by the whole ‘war and augmentation’ ordeal. While this isn’t much of a problem in combat, lack of common knowledge, down to something as simple as square root, is quite a handicap in daily life. While the Mind Bridge helps to some extent, even basic things like elementary school math can only get you so far without practice

Short Bio: Born and raised in the capital of the Epsilon Theta, Longannet, neither the neighborhood nor her family were particularly well off. And since someone her age couldn’t be employed, Avelyn took to thievery, working her way from food through credits to jewellery. Over the years, she’s become proficient at sleight of hand, blending in with crowds and getting from place to place without being noticed. Well, most of the time. Nothing ever goes completely according to plan, and so she got quite good at getting from place to place without being caught. Until one day she didn‘t. Upon her capture, the authorities took note of her agility and her almsot four-year streak of uninterrupted crime. It wasn’t long until her holding cell was visited by men in military armor instead of policemen - the last time she saw her home.

Avelyn was sent for augmentation, which lead to a fear of needles, and was supposed to be assigned to intelligence. Along with another group of children with similar predispositions, she was trained to enter and exit any compound, negotiate any terrain or obstacle and extract any necessary information from captives. Avelyn was supposed to be a crossbreed of a black-ops operative and a master interrogator. Then the first tests came, and Avelyn’s mind-oriented capabilities were much weaker than expected. But where her mind magic was considered underwhelming, her proficiency in manipulating gravity, be it precise manipulation of small objects or swatting away multiple opponents with a single motion, got her reclassified from intelligence to special tasks. Going behind enemy lines attached to a small team to gather information suddenly turned into going behind enemy lines attached to a small team to wreak havoc. Her outer-colony origins certainly didn’t make her the team’s favorite. Fortunately, there was one other person, a child soldier on tech support duty, in a similar predicament - a Venerian girl named Lucinda Cain. Though Sol-born, she was nonetheless shunned due to her extensive cybernetics that, in combination with mind magic, made her the tech-person counterpart to Avelyn’s ‘people skills‘. The two quickly formed a sister-like bond, keeping each other’s spirits up in face of the hostile core-worlders in addition to the daily grind.

At Proxima, the team was sent to disable a Rau’ve electronic support ship that was feeding additional targeting data to the alien fleet. But before they got even halfway through to their objective, Lucinda tripped a silent alarm she wasn’t familiar with. The team was set upon by much of the ship’s security force and the two child soldiers were abandoned in the confusion. Rather than face the uncertainty of capture, Lucinda spaced herself and Avelyn was captured.

In captivity, the former thief awaited her inevitable execution with bitter resignation. Against all expectations, she and those like her received good treatment, which greatly aided her recovery. However, she couldn’t return to normal life, if the word ‘return’ was even applicable. She didn’t know much besides thievery and war, despite the efforts of some of her alien captors, or rather saviors. All of this pushed reason aside and fanned the flames of vengeance that lay dormant at the back of her mind, and seeing an opportunity for revenge, she took it.

Short Bio:

Bio

Fremont was born with his brother Floke. They were born larger than the normal Kaisoken around 17ft for Fremont and 19ft for Floke. In their first century, the twins had spent time developing themselves as they learned the ways of their people. Fremont had found great joy in exploring his environment even with the very little instruments he had at his disposal. Although, it wouldn't be long until he felt trapped by his own body. He felt it was like a restraint the universe had given his people to make sure they wouldn't dominate every galaxy in a decades time.

He distracted himself with hunting local Fauna, setting traps for these stupid creatures to fall into. His brother, Floke, would often try to persuade Fremont from this "unique" pass time. Fremont always laughed it off saying he was simply developing his mental acuity. Eventually, the traps had become boring to him and he started to use his magic to slaughter all sorts of games across the land. He moved away from hunting prey entirely and started to hunt large predators smashing himself into the to break them into pieces. All this fighting was exhilarating to him. The sound of the bones crunching and flesh shearing off brought joy to him.

The elders forbid Fremont from hunting, nagging that it wasn't very healthy for the ecosystem. One esteemed and wise elder recommended pebble counting at the shore, saying it would help him find meaning in life. After 7,000 long years, Fremont can say his favorite beach has 35 689 854 pebbles on it. I counted twice to make sure. When a crab took one it made Fremont unreasonably angry to the point he tore each leg a claw off to replace the pebble. Fremont now realizes his purpose is to hunt. Elder King was right after all.

One day though as he was resting at his home, a Rau've came and broke his Aunt to pieces. It was simple and efficient. Many Kaisoken went to hide and wait it out. But Fremont couldn't help but watch the beauty of it. The hunter was nimble and quick. He moved himself with such control and deftness, he could strike fear into him. It was truly beautiful how with these simple appendages even a weaker creature such as a Rau've could overcome his race. He basked in these moments as he watched his favorite Aunt get shattered. The hunter made his way to Fremont, Fremont blasted himself at the hunter. He could use magic but it was more thrilling to play cat and mouse with this hunter. Soon, the Hunter tired, and Fremont crushed him into a red paste. He was thanked by his people for defending them from the hunter and swiftly avenging his aunt. He had never been praised for his violence and it filled him with an odd sense of pride having his talents recognized by so many.

Soon, after the fight with the Hunter, Fremont went through some odd change. He sprouted little crystal nubs from his sides and bottom. At first, Fremont hid himself thinking he had some kind of disease and he should self-Isolate to keep his people safe. His midsection slimmed out as the nubs grew more and more prominent with each passing weak. After a year, he had fully transformed. He had shrunk to 14ft and had grown arms and legs. He could move them like they were his own limbs. He felt faster, more powerful. He went on a rampage murdering miles of land in his exploration of his newfound self. As he returned home, he was met with mixed feelings. Most held some kind of curiosity but some of the older generations held fear for this new form. Quickly, they gave Fremont a position as Warrior of his home. He was meant to protect from all invaders and give all he had for this singular purpose. The elder's words were honeyed enough to intoxicate Fremont. He agreed to this lifetime position without thought.

Later, Fremont had realized this was a clever ploy by his elders to keep him chained down. He could resign from the position or leave if he so pleased but that would be cowardice in his eyes. No, he must serve but in a way still suitable to his desires. Fremont had started to keep the gear and weapons, becoming familiar with there weaponry. Even using some of them if he could to laugh at there dismay. This continued for 400 years until he needed a new thrill. He had wished to start sparring with his fellow Kaisoken. However, his wish was never met. His own people had started to fear him, with the young Kaisoken whispering that the elders consider him to be defective. He held felt hurt beyond words. He had served his entire life to his people, soaking his hands with the blood of thousands in his wake. And they dare call him defected. It was the old Kaisoken who were defected for never trying to improve. However, he did not have time to think through his emotions as a horde of humans were coming, probably in search of the scouts they sent out. As he looked at the numbers, Fremont dreaded the next fight. They brought much more than humans usually do. Even Fremont knew he wasn't invulnerable. He ran to the elders, pleading with them to flee, that the enemy is too great even for him. The elders were quick to flee but left one final order for Fremont and that was to cover there escape. He knew what this order was. They were finally going to rid themselves of this cancer known as Fremont. Fremont wanted to say that he would die but he couldn't, as his pride was too great. With the belief that he was going to die for people who feared him, Fremont headed to the battlefield alone.

The ensuing fight was surreal as he tried to defend his home one final time. Just once more and he could die with honor. He thought about his life that maybe he was wired differently than others. He found joy in exploring and manipulating his surroundings. He loved the things he found, becoming attached to his material possessions, something his people have always shunned him for. Even after all the hunting he even started to love the animals, sometimes helping them if he had the time. He didn't always agree with the other Kaisokens' way of life but he loved them anyway even if they didn't love him. In the twilight of his final moments, he had wished that he could have said goodbye to his brother. Floke never spoke badly about him and even tried to understand him.

As the light of life was about to go out, a sonic blade from behind him, slashing the tank that was about to obliterate his core. He looked behind him to see his brother, just standing behind him. He had never seen Floke fight. In fact, he knew Floke despised fighting being squeamish at even an animal dying in front of him but here he is. Reinvigorated, Fremont let out a battle cry declaring his future victory. It wasn't long until the brothers wiped out the enemy in a storm of carnage. Fremont was exhausted, covered in enough blood to paint his as red as a ruby. He looked toward his brother, saying "We did it!" as she felt himself be cut at his thinner midsection. He fell to see what had happened and came to the heartbreaking conclusion that his brother had sliced him in half. Floke left Fremont with a final message, "there is no place for a monster in our world." Those words pierced Fremont's soul, leaving him gasping in a pain greater than being slashed. His only brother, the only one he truly wanted to keep safe had betrayed him. As he grieved waiting to die something spoke to his mind. Live, survive, kill. He went into a rage spouting that he is the superior member of his species. Screaming that when he lives he would cull his weak race until only those like him were left. The last thing he screamed was "Adapt or Die!" With this Fremont's vision went to black.

200 years passed by the time he had opened his eyes again. A layer of sediment and dense undergrowth had grown on top of him. As he rose he tore through the brush and roots. Realizing he was half his previous height, around 7 ft. he had regrown his limbs and seemed to have grown an additional appendage in the shape of a head. He looked up at the sky and laughed as now he looks even more like a monster. The laugh turned sinister as he thought "good…" Fremont looked through the foliage as he found 2 sonic hammers from centuries past. He lifted them and checked if they worked. They did, the only thing left to do was to check there durability. He went to where he had risen and grabbed the other half of his body. He looked at it and chuckled as he smashed it to bits. As he finished, he let out a loud "Let the culling begin!"

He searched about 4 decades for his people, never losing that burning rage he had gained from this betrayal 200 years ago. When he found them he waited for night. He went home to home asking will they change or will they die. Most screamed and attacked him. For about a week he culled his people. The rage kept burning as he kept slaughtering. There was little thrill in it anymore. Even killing his brother did little to calm him. By the time he was done his rage calmed and hardened into resolve. He would teach his race that their days of calm were over and that the time for change was upon them. As he stood there some human hunters came to him. They looked terrified as they didn't even know if he was Kaisoken. Fremont looked toward then an extended a hand to there obvious leader, "Hello there, I'm…" he thought for a while as he had killed Fremont in his head. He rose his hand to where his supposed mouth would be and said "I know! I'm Abaddon" as he extended his hand toward him again. The man shakes it cautiously, asking if Abaddon was the one who did this. Abaddon just nodded as someone in the group called him a sick fuck. The leader on the other hand smiled and said we could need someone like you. Abaddon and agreed to go with them. He helped them move the dust onto the cargo ship. Abaddon had one request though. He wanted to keep his brother. Abaddon in the coming decades turned his brother into a large sword, it seemed to keep his sonic blade magic on it. Abaddon loved this blade as it reminded him of his brother's screams as he killed his child and wife.

He went out from crew to crew mostly messing around, sending messages that the next culling will be In 100 years, giving them time to change. If they didn't, well we all know what would happen. Only half a year until the next culling. He collected weapons and a large number of credits usually giving them to charity. He supported many nature preservation sights and gave relief aide to many people during the war. He genuinely enjoys interacting with humans, seeing how far they are willing to go to become stronger.

He met Natasha randomly and was instantly pulled in by her personality. He asked to join on the spot. Ever since then he has been serving as one of her electric technicians.

Spell List:

Supernal Vision (High) - The Mage can see all Magic, identify what School it is, and the strength of the spell.

Kin Slayer (Underworld) - Abaddon gains power from the slaughter of his species. With each kill, he grows stronger physically. Currently his physicality 5 times higher then it should be. The magic covers him with some kind of black ethereal goo, slowly corrupting him further. At this point, he sees no issue with the slaughtering of his own race even if it would lead to the extinction of his race.

Reconstruction (Change) - This lets Abaddon repair himself if he cracks or pieces fall off. He either needs pieces of himself of pieces of his species. For basic cuts or clean-cut, he can reattach it if everything is there for fleshy people. It can also fix things if he has the pieces.

"I lost my brother, I lost my friends...I will not lose you too."

Name: Gabriel Nova
Age: 22
Physical Description:
cms-assets.tutsplus.com/uploads/users…
Important items: Power Core: Formerly the core for a Rau've ship, Gabriel stole it during his short stint in the military.

Boarding Axe: A modified two handed axe with a long sweeping blade on one side, and a 4 inch long spike on the other side. Its edges are equipped with vibro-tech, allowing it to more easily split modern engineered materials, like those used in bog-standard Ascendancy armor.

Armor Plates: A specialized suit of armor which interfaces with his augments, which grants him an increased durability, as well as make him look more intimidating.

"Like my armor fellas? Freshly cleaned. It is a pain to get human-paste out the little creases."

Short Bio: Gabriel comes from a small family, joining the military at 18 to help support them. He had a knack for boarding actions, being viscous with an axe, and wily enough to get close enough to use it despite the abundance of ranged weapons. This style of combat however took its toll on Gabriel's body, limbs being torn and singed by energy fire, bones cracked and crushed by melee blows. Each time he was hauled off to the medical bay, more and more of himself was being replaced with cheap cybernetics, what the military of the Ascension could throw to some grunt who they didn't care about. Overtime, Gabriel began to tinker with his own augments, over-clocking and enhancing them to become a terror on the battlefield, the sanctity of the human form defiled for more and more power. During the war, his younger brother Leon vanished without a trace, and when Gabriel learned of his, and bought into the lies that the children may of been abducted by the enemy he started to push his own money into augmenting himself further, going through backwater and black market channels to get what he craved, a method for revenge. Before he was through, he had made himself exceptionally durable, able to interface even with some alien tech, and strong enough to rip an armored soldier in two with a swing of his boarding axe...but even this was not enough. While he was nigh indestructible, his allies were not.

Time and time again he watched friends die, and more and more Gabriel pushed the limits of humanity to protect that which he had left. Eventually, his augments got him kicked from the military, his defiling of the human form to much for his superiors to bear. He was left with nothing, and no one, until he was offered a job on a ship. Natasha had like him been discarded, and that was enough for the cyborg to find a kinship with her. The fact he was an exceptional meat shield who could also help her with techy things didn't hurt that either. His skill with the axe even rivaled her swordsmanship, making him a prime candidate for a sparring buddy. Despite his friendliness towards Natasha, deep inside Gabriel doubted their cause, and doubted them fighting the ascendancy. Piracy got you rich quick, but normally lead to you dying, that he was fine with...but rebels and child super soldiers? This was weird, even for him as a horrific cyborg abomination.

After learning the truth of what happened to his little brother however, no doubt this light shed to him by one of the child soldiers now with him, his convictions turned to murderous rage, and his doubts broke down before his wrath. He got back in touch with his folks, letting them know he would return home with his little brother at some point, a foolish thing to be sure, leaving a trail back to where he had been, but he had to let them know. His plan, if mostly secret to the crew, was to find his brother Leon, *save* him from his adoptive alien family, and bring him home, the political and diplomatic damage be damned. This is a secret he keeps to himself, plotting and planning as he assists Moon-Strike and Natasha while waiting for the time to find Leon. When that time comes, hell will be raised, friendships may be shattered, and lives torn apart...but he will save his brother, one body at a time.

Ariel

Name: Ariel Sin
Age: 15
Physical Description:

Hider

Important items:
Backpack - Its plain white design is bereft of aesthetics and most ergonomic features, but thoroughly protects the contents of its numerous compartments from heat, water, electromagnetic fields, and all manner of potential hazards. A biometric lock secures its contents from theft.

Stunner - A less-lethal electroshock weapon that transmits electricity to its target by ionising air into conductive plasma, incapacitating them for as long as the trigger is held down.

Omni-tool - Far too indispensable a tool to go without in 25th century society.

Wallet - A slim box-like container, containing cash, bank cards, stored-value credit sticks, various forms of identification, and the occasional miscellaneous trinket. Currently holds a total of two hundred Galactic Credits in hard currency, and double that amount on prepaid sticks. A biometric lock secures its contents from theft.

Medkit - The advanced nanomachines and pharmaceuticals contained within allow for the basic treatment of all manner of injuries and ailments, even without training.

Short Bio:
Ariel’s parents are called Indra and Elia. They both work as researchers, at the Earth–Moon L₄ University and a company called Aion respectively. She is the younger of two children, with a sister six years her senior.

It is a parent’s duty to seek the best for their children: and so, before Ariel was even conceived, her parents underwent rigorous cutting-edge therapies and procedures to ensure that she would receive the best that her parents could offer. She would not be ‘perfect’ — that was a subjective term loaded with undue expectations for a child, and to speak in such absolutes would be haughty — but ‘the best she could be’, in mind, body, and spirit. This meant nanomedicine, genetic engineering, nootropics in safe and moderated doses, optimised dietary intake, and more.

Aware of the equal importance of “nurture” in raising a child, they gave her their utmost love and affection, in a well-tailored yet dynamic environment that still allowed her the freedom to socialise and explore. Ariel was allowed to roam and interact with whoever she pleased in school — after all, the best pedagogy had been employed to educate her on the most effective methods to handle social situations, backed by current evidence.

Ariel’s life was one of privilege and opportunity in every facet. An ideal childhood, with a family who always did their best so that their youngest daughter could do the same. Unsurprisingly identified as ‘gifted’ from a young age, Ariel was put in advanced classes, then accelerated to an early graduation. She was well-adjusted and formed strong, lasting social connections, much to her family’s pleasure; she was physically in the peak of health, and kept fit through regular exercise and a good diet. But before long, government agents came down to her home. At thirteen, she was injected with Kaisoken dust, and entered the armed forces of the Ascendancy of Man.

Ariel never lasted very long in whatever unit she was assigned to — or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the units she was assigned to never lasted very long. Time and time again, she watched as the boys and girls who she had only just gotten to know died. Sometimes the child soldiers were slowly whittled off, one by one. More often than not it was a single, swift action that annihilated the unit whole — save for Ariel. And even when her fellow children did survive, she was always transferred out of the lucky unit swiftly, as if some administrative clerk had nothing better to do but try and cause her misery. Would it be more accurate to call her Fortune’s favourite, or Fortune’s fool?

That same fortune spared Ariel from sharing the grim fate of many at Proxima Centauri, as she happened to be out of action and missed the decisive battle. Under the terms of the peace treaty, she was handed over to the Rau’ve — and found out first-hand just how genuinely pleasant their ‘prison camps’ were. After release, she contemplated returning home for a while, but eventually set out to join this so-called rebel network, Moonstrike. After all, what child soldier wouldn’t hate the Ascendancy after what they had done? It was around this time that she ran across Ashton’s group of like-minded child soldiers and joined up with them.

Looks like the Ascendancy is in for a whole new war.

Spell List:
Séance (Underworld): Ariel may call upon a departed soul. The more recent their death, the less time and energy it takes, and the higher the rates of success. While the soul is capable of perceiving the world as it would have in life, it cannot be perceived or interacted with in any manner by any person or object save Ariel, and even she is only capable of conversation with the soul. Communication occurs telepathically, and does not require audible speech.

Mind Trick (Mind): By making direct eye contact (no sunglasses or helmets) with someone, Ariel can give a simple command to a person, resisted by their willpower. If successful, the target carry out the suggestion as if they had always intended to do so, and will not notice anything strange about doing so.

Character Traits:
Inquisitive Mind: At least the Ascendancy’s schooling system isn’t that bad, at least for top students. Ariel may not have all the answers, but she sure can find them if given the time and resources. Be it through instruction or self-directed exploration, she is always willing and capable of learning new knowledge and skills, and fast.

Empath: Some people are open books. They wear their hearts on their sleeves, they’re easy to read, they have no filter. To Ariel, pretty much everyone’s an open book. She has no trouble at all discerning someone’s emotional state (and perhaps even take guesses at some of their thoughts!) just by observing and having a little chat. The knowledge of just what the right thing to say is, and how to say it, also comes naturally to her. It isn’t true mind magic, but it might be as close as you can get without Kaisoken dust. Whether you call it charm, charisma, or clairvoyance, Ariel’s aptitude in social encounters is undeniable.

Short Bio:

Doctor

Born on a slum planet, Millard was born with no name. Given to an orphanage, he was brought up in a less than healthy environment. He had made a few friends there, yet he wished to leave this hell hole. With pirates and raiders constantly attacking places around him and even got him caught up in some of their terrible choices, Millard wanted nothing more than to leave and find a good life. Well with his great intelligence he had figured out a way to join the military at 16 and start a new life.

When he joined the military he had taken up the option to have his schooling paid for him as he was going to college and signed onto a 20-year service program. Sure Millard knew he was selling his life away to the Ascendancy, however, that was better than being in a slum for his whole life and dying in some shit-stained alleyway. So he spent his first 4 years going through school as he had to spend every weekend at a training facility, constantly testing and working to make sure he was in good enough shape for any time they need to call people in for a war. However, during these first 4 years, he met someone with who he felt a deep connection, a bright smiling man who wanted to help others, Kerry. He was a man who helped Millard find what he wanted to do and even helped Millard get over some of the PTSD that he had during his earlier years of life.

So after the first 4 years of college Millard wanted to then go to medical school, while Kerry wanted to go to an advanced tech school for weapons creations, as Kerry wanted to be a Research and Development member, while Millard wanted to be a Doctor. Firstly, as a doctor, you get paid a bunch of money, while it also allowed him to help many people very few ever could. So with this, they left each other, closer than they thought they would be, yet still to pursue dreams they had.

During these years, Kerry and Millard stayed in touch, not only as they were military buddies, but because they felt a deep bond. So Millard spent the next 10 years, Millard went on to become a Fully licensed doctor, while Kerry went and started producing many new advancements in technology and research into the idea of magic. Yet the most important part of their lives was the connection that they had deepened to a point of love. As they got married and lived together as they both still lived out their dreams. However, their lives were changed when the military made good on their promise and called them both in for service.

Because of their status as being both enlisted and from the outer rim worlds, they were both put into combat roles. Kerry as a small arms repairman, and Millard as a field medic. Soon they were put to training, learning what jobs they are to do, and what skills they need to learn. However, they learned quickly that the war they are fighting isn't a simple war, it is a war for Humanity's existence. Millard was a remarkable close range combat expert, and thankfully he was as he found himself in a million different close-range fights with creatures of all races. Yet his little knife never did him enough, so he always talked to Kerry and saw if he could ever get an 'upgrade'. And like a wonderful husband he provided and gave Millard the edge he needed over any being, may it be Rau've, Kaisoken, or even Tayanen. He was always there fighting to save others in the line of danger while bringing those he can back from the clutches of death.

Yet one day, he noticed something that made his heart sunk, he saw Kerry on the frontline, fighting the aliens while accompanied by an armed carrier with explosives. Sadly that was the last time he ever saw Kenny as it was said he was killed in a blast that was supposed to take out a high-value target on the planet. This made Millard furious, he knew Kenny was not a man to just die like that, yet what could he say? He just promoted to Field Officer and still had no power, as every other officer was from one of the inner rings, he had no way of fighting back without being demoted or even sent off to die like Kenny. So he just soldiered on, biding his time.

At the end of the war, he was sent back to an inner ring homeworld as he was put into a civilian aid role, as they are now using his skill as a surgeon to good use. As there was our break of these strange Rau've spores that grow out of people and many doctors had been unable to take them out. As when magic was even used on them they grew larger and started slightly sprouting. So they used Millard as a scapegoat to see if it is possible to remove these. As he proved with the absolute deftness of his hands, and his determination to do so, he was able to start to stop this outbreak before it got too bad. Giving both the Ascendancy a good image, while also allowing Millard to be honorably Discharged. As soon once his 20-year contract with the government was up he was discharged from service reaching a nice and respectable rank.

He spends a few months as a Doctor as he helped those who had been affected by the war. He felt a little empty really, yet he held a smile, knowing Kerry was smiling down onto him as he worked. Yet when he heard of this resistance against the Ascendancy something in his heart strung, and it felt like someone was telling him to go and take this lonely rage out on this terrible government. A government that killed his lover, a government that had sent children to war, and a government that had caused a war that nearly caused a pandemic, all for power. So Millard faked his death and took up his old war gear, the few things he had left that Kerry had ever given him.

Alias Information:
Conner's alternate alias Victor is tied to the underground world of the Ascendancy. He uses it to keep his hold over the shadier organizations that would harm his businesses.

Age:

Conner’s Appearance

Conner's hair is a normal length for an Interplanetary Megacorporation CEO based on Mars. His hair is well styled and kept by a hairstylist, which he paid for their great work in keeping his hair short and rugged. There's an outward aura about him that makes him seem nice or otherwise able to work with you in reality. Conner is hiding darker secrets about himself with this facade. He wears clothes that make him feel comfortable but not too comfortable because the Hadley Family is on edge to make a quick buck on others' backs.

His eyes are the same as Scott Noreen Hadley showing how much of a visionary Conner is. He was the second coming of Scott, which scares some people in his family while others hold out he would do amazing things. He exudes confidence and shows every person he knows more than he lets on. It helps Conner bribe people to tell their secrets, which are usually using their vices or virtues.

He speaks with a more thick wealthy Martian accent, which has hints of a mix between Northwestern American and British. It also has an underlining cunning to it, like he's trying to get his way in whatever deal he has. There's a specific nature to him, which always makes people second guess themselves or make them enraged. He is an Overseer and Business Man first. He only puts certain people on the totem pole of his many priorities if they are genuinely required to be, making the family his third of his overall importance. His body language is a grown-up outright knowing about everyone's vices and weaknesses since he deals with others' minds. His feelings are towards supporting who requires it the most, the President for Life, Emmanuel for his ideals.

Birthmark/Scar(s):
Conner has a generational birthmark on his back, which first started with Scott Noreen Hadley. The birthmark covers twenty-five percent to thirty-five percent of his back, stars encased in a tight circle. It symbolizes a caged, ambitious personality that wants to control space's vastness and has infinite possibilities for doing that. He wants to spread his influence to every corner of the galaxy. It is primarily to keep the Ascendancy in power for as long as possible. He has a defensive scar on his left arm from the Steiner Nanite Self-Repairing Blade for trying to block it. His father was the one wielding the blade when this defensive scar happened. A disgruntled employee from TLI Research Institute created it.

Important Item(s):

Conner's Items

Scott Class, Luxury Deluxe Heavy Cruiser

The Hadley In-Vector Corporation manufactures the Scott Class of Luxury Deluxe Heavy Cruisers. In terms, these cruisers represent the founder of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. The Hadley In-Vector Corporation upgraded this specific cruiser to become a Heavy Cruiser, which boasts heavier armor and increased firepower and rudimentary systems. The Maddening Variance Cannons are three 203mm Cannon Emplacements apart of the Scott Victory System. As well, the Heavy Cruisers have Torpedo Launchers on their aft and rear compartments. Its cannons fires laser beams that primarily affect Electronics on Starships.

These weapons hide on the starship to make it look defenseless on a surface scan. It usually is in a Gravia Military Company Fleet of ships or escorted by Ascendancy Ships. It will defend itself to keep its VIPs onboard protected from any hostile action or attack. The starship shows Scott's had extreme paranoia levels, which it has stealth detection in its suite to scan for stealthed starships. The bridge crew is from the Sky Callers Mercenary Company, which contracted to the Hadley Family for life. They are competent starship pilots that can pilot almost any kind of starship to Dreadnoughts if needed. The Gravia Military has a small contingency of forces on the starship to keep everyone safe. These forces are deployed in such a way to protect the Bridge and the Engineering parts of the starship. There are many additional guards to protect the passengers, the staff, Conner's guests, and his actual family themselves whenever it has a meeting onboard.

There are two emblems on the starship: the Gravia Military Company and Hadley In-Vector Corporation on both sides of it. Conner and Shelly are the owners of the starship. However, no one from his previous family knows he has this starship or hasn't even cared to give them the access codes.

The Compartments on the starship

It has around twenty-five to thirty decks, which are entirely accessible to Conner and Shelly. The primary decks that are off-limits to VIPs that aren't Conner or Shelly are the first and twenty-fourth decks. They are the Bridge and Engineering Decks. All the decks in the middle of the bridge deck and engineering deck aren't off-limits to the VIPs. The twenty-five deck is the hangar bay deck, which holds the VIP fighters or shuttles stationed in it. The starship's lift system skips the twenty-fourth deck and goes straight to the fifth deck, which is the deck to check in with Conner, Shelly, or one of the hostesses. These hostesses are usually the ones to check-in if Conner or Shelly is in a meeting already.

There's a total of four decks that are storage decks, which are twenty-sixth to thirty for starship staff to bring up more stuff. It is primarily to keep the party going or allowing the VIPs to rest and relax in their specialty five-star hotel rooms. The bridge staff usually gives the VIPs and others the greeting of the Hadley In-Vector Corporation's motto. It is a precautionary measure to make sure they aren't hostile to the Hadley Family. These people who are hostile to the family are disarmed and patted down to make sure they didn't bring any other weapons. It's to keep the other people on the starship safe. The people onboard take priority over having a firefight on board the Heavy Cruiser.

However, there's a reason for the Armed Guards and Gravia Military Company personnel's small contingent forces to stop hostiles quickly. Subdue the ones responsible for breaking the starship rules and take them to the brig, which is on Deck nine. Deck nine is off-limits from anyone on the guest list, and they will hold in the brig until the starship reaches the nearest Ascendancy Starbase or Planet.

Steiner Nanite Self-Repairing Blade

Frederick von Steiner is the weapon's creator and was specifically hired by the Hadley Family to manufacture the blade. Mr. Steiner created this weapon basically off the research he stole from the TLI Research Institute. He got kicked out of the TLI Research Institute for insulting and yelling at Debra Amberdine for being an annoying little child. This weapon is designed by stealing experimental nanites and was weaponized to create the blade. Conner would be the one who would wield it after testing it.

These weaponized nanites don't harm the wielder of the blade. The blade gives off an eerily glow of bluish-green when the nanites sense armor, which in turn will devour and reinforce its structure. In terms, the blade's destructive power increases substantially with every single material it consumes on contact. In turn, the weapon can activate its specialized function after it increases its density by twenty-five percent. The blade's center will spin the quicker it spins, split open, and fires a targetted plasma beam at a person. It is precisely for people who don't expect the additional attack from Conner's weapon. After firing off the plasma beam, and it'll slowly start going back to normal. When it is fully normalized back into its blade form, and it'll be on a cool-down period of an hour.

Researcher Steiner augmented this weapon with similar functions to TLI Research Institute weapons. It was DNA locked to specifically Conner and attuned to his biorhythm from his heartbeats, which was before he found his real family. If someone tries to wield a weapon other than Conner, it'll cause them to feel intense pain and suffering of being bitten or stung by a swarm of microscopic ants or spiders. It'll also give out a fierce pulse that directly affects the person's mental functions to let go of the blade before it starts devouring their flesh. Stuart used to hold it, but that was wiped from the DNA lock. The only people who can handle it are Sarah, Gregory, Shelly, and Conner as its wielders. But it will get used to them in the time since these weaponized nanites learn on the wielder's movements. Researcher Steiner reprogrammed them to make these nanites no longer hostile to Shelly, Gregory, and Sarah. It primarily was because Conner ordered him to do that.

Gravine-JS561 Upgraded Variance Rifle (Gravia Standard Issue Rifle)

The Gravia Military Company's hyper-specialized sniper rifle, which Conner uses, can switch between armored anti-tank rounds to anti-personnel rounds. This sniper rifle's variance usually changes between whatever shell is needed for the time, which requires the blue glow on the sniper rifle to switch between green or blue. Green controls the armored anti-tank rounds, which blue contains the anti-personnel shells. Each shell is specialized in destroying tanks or personnel with ease. However, Gravine-JS561 Upgraded Variance Rifle must use more anti-tank rounds against a more heavily armored tank.

The sniper rifle has a self-personalized AI that connects to the Gravine-XS356 Charged chip to help with range finding, wind, weather, and human error factors. It increases the range of it by 50 to 150 meters. The self-personalized AI has a soft woman's voice, which is Rena's voice encouraging Conner. Researcher Fredrick upgraded the sniper rifle with similar augments to it has Conner's Self-Repairing Blade, a DNA lockout, and a Biorhythmic attunement. The primary users are named Gregory, Sarah, and Conner.

The sniper rifles that aren't upgraded are called Gravine-JS560 Variance Rifles. They are built for a singular purpose by the Gravia Military Company, and it is either using Anti-Personnel rounds or Anti-Tank shells. Each shell is differently sized to pick, which one is more useful to handle the situation requires. They don't have a DNA lock, but they are attuned to the heartbeats of the snipers of the Gravia Military Company. Frederick von Steiner upgraded these weapons to use the TLI Research Institute patent to lock on Locks by DNA and Biorhythm. It would've cost a lot of credits to buy the patents from TLI Research Institute.

Hadley Family Ring

Conner wears his family's ring since it was passed down to him by his father, Stuart. He wears it on his left-hand ring finger as a wedding band. There's an H in the ring's direct center crafted out of the darkest of all metals. The metal contrasts perfectly with the gold on the rest of it. There's an inscription on the inside of the ring, which says the following sentences. There are always only two soul mates for any of the Hadley Family members. However, if you don't require two extra souls within your heart, you should only marry one. It mainly means if you don't want to have two wives, you don't have to.

Two hundred twenty-two years ago, Scott created this ring on his 18th birthday. He primarily made it to marry his two soul mates and true loves because he wanted a large family and saw it. It was the happiest time of his life, which Scott poured his entire soul into creating this family ring. Scott Noreen Hadley's ascension to become the head of it simultaneously happened as he married both of his soul mates on his 18th birthday.

Galactic Credits

Conner's exact amount of worth in the Galatic Market is a bit insane. He makes most people cringe whenever he starts investing in anything, which gains more support and other benefits. However, his family is worth an untold amount of credits, which has been slowly increasing ever since the family started being an Interplanetary Corporation. The last time someone estimated the Hadley Family's value, it was in the multi-trillion worth of credits. Conner usually only keeps 250,000 credits on him at all times in physical or in digital form.

The Datapad of Ascension, Hadley Estate

The Datapad of Ascension is the specific datapad for the Hadley Estate's access, which Conner L. Hadley controls. It is nicknamed ascension because its previous name was too old and not relevant anymore to Scott, and he altered it to become proper for the new golden age. The Hadley Estate is very strict regarding who is allowed to access the datapad, which has to live in the estate and is the family's head. It's locked by DNA and has a biorhythmic attunement to only the family's head. It gives them access to everything, which the Hadley Estate has regarding its defensive and offensive capabilities. This datapad can even lockdown the estate if there is an intruder, which wasn't invited on the premise.

There's a verification code that tells the estate to do the safety procedures to make everything run smoothly, and nothing is wrong at its location. Conner returns from the Hadley In-Vector Corporation's HQ back to the Hadley Estate. It can contact elements of the Gravia Military Company or the Hadley In-Vector Corporation to help with its defense or maintenance. The estate acts as a prison to anyone who doesn't have the access codes from the datapad. In terms, the people who have no access codes cannot leave the premises or return. There are only three people who don't have access codes: Narvia, Freya, and Ashley.

Conner created access codes for Shelly, Gregory, and Sarah to remove Lana's access to the estate soon. Everyone who isn't apart of the Gravia Military Company or is allied to Conner will have to ask Conner for one. Conner also has a warning if anyone tries to enter his study, which is taboo. The Maddening One's Prophecy Book is in Conner's study or secondary office in the Hadley Estate.

The Hadley Estate's Defenses

The Hadley Estate is essentially equivalent to Fort Knox's ability to defend itself from any hostile action, which includes Orbital Bombardment. How the estate can protect itself, it deploys its Maddening Anti-Starship Orbital Cannon to shoot down any malevolent force over Mars. The estate can go deep underground to defend itself with a shield deploying itself where the Mansion was. The primarily the Estate Defense Technology advancements that the Gravia Military Company deployed throughout its two hundred and ten years of existence. Scott was highly paranoid about having his power base destroyed by hostile forces against his dreams and goals.

Additionally, the Gravia Military Company will come to reinforce the estate's defenses with any available spacecraft in orbit. It is at the behest of the Space Fighter/Bomber Pilots of the Gravia Military Company that usually destroy any ground-based assault on the estate. However, up to four experimental weapon systems in the estate's arsenal and only Conner and Shelly know about them.

Gravia Military Company's Overseer Omnitool

Gravia Military Company's Overseer Omnitool is the primary creation over other omnitools in the Ascendancy. As a black ops organization, it is high tech but has the schematics to be heavily scrutinized by Military-Grade Based omnitools. Conner built this to the specs he required to track all the personnel in the Gravia Military Company. The personnel is chipped with the Gravine-XS561 Loyalty Chips. These chips track their loyalty levels (brainwashing), condition, location, mission-critical assignments, which they are given by Conner or his children that are classified as the Decidated. If their loyalty is lacking, they will have to go into mandatory loyalty training, which is heavily invasive in their lives and reconditions them not to betray the Gravia Military Company, their Overseer, and the Dedicated.

Conner created the Dedicated role in the Gravia Military Company for primarily Sarah and Gregory. It is for them to help him keep track of all of the Gravia Military Company's personnel. He augmented his children with a heavily specialized chip called the Gravine-XS611 Augmented chip, giving them a more critical role in the company. The expanded chip's specialized nature gives them the ability to track each other by their condition and location. It gives them the ability to have a telepathic-like link between them by allowing them to talk much longer distances. However, it is a faux telepathic-like link since it is only between the two of them.

Additional Features

It has a function to access the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. Still, it's crafted in such a way as not to be invasive compared to what it is for the Gravia Military Company. Conner gives the employees their off time and relaxation dates to keep up the Hadley In-Vector Corporation's goodwill. The employees with the highest stress factors will be given a vacation anywhere in the Ascendancy free of charge to show they are family within the MegaCorporation. It's always better to treat employees differently than you treat anyone else. The only reason why the Hadley In-Vector Corporation's so valued is because of the good press in giving its employees much-needed breaks.

The other feature it boasts is it can contact anyone within the Ascendancy, and it primarily includes the President or any loyal military officers. He despises talking to Nikolas R. Zahrin the Dragon, mostly because of the reason he's forced to by his idiot of a father, Stuart. It does give him some insight into his children's godfather somewhat. He also contacts anyone else in the Ascendancy who has similar business values as he does. If it weren't for his bribing of high-ranking military officers in the Ascendancy, he wouldn't have been able to get rid of Narvia. His access to Berkeley primarily allowed him that chance to do so. Still, Conner isn't fussed about losing that maniac of a bastard, Berkeley better to use and drop off the trash.

There is one person in the entire Ascendancy of Man's military that is unbribable, and that's no other than Alexander Kherol, the Grand Admiral of the 1st fleet. If it weren't for Alexander's excellent maneuvers at the Battle of Proxima, the humans would have lost completely. In terms, the aliens would have probably eradicated the humans for their transgressions. However, the only accomplishment he's so sick and tired of hearing is from Nikolas R. Zahrin talking about Alexander's leadership of getting a Wyvern on his side. Conner was one of the few people who care very little about the accomplishments of taming Nikolas' world's fauna. It's nothing but hogwash and doesn't care about anything on Draken'vina, in all honesty. A Core World that is beautiful but has so many mysteries about it is why the Za Clan's area is the only habitable land for humans. There are dragons on Draken'vina, which he would love to capture one of them to see how they tick since dragons are fascinating in some ways. The wasteland of Draken'vina is what he calls a bit strange, but the mystery will be interesting to understand later.

Character Traits:

Color Visualization, Detecting Liars (Biotech Upgrade):
Conner bought the best biotech upgrades he could afford for his eyes since he always has colorblindness problems. It allows him to change his eye color to any other eye color to blend in with the crowd, so no one knows he's Conner only if they are an idiot. It also affords him to be able to see three times further than someone with no biotech upgrades. Besides, he can see ultraviolet light with just a quick switch from normal vision to this additional function. It allows him to detect when people are lying to him, only by their body language or how they are acting. To turn off his lie detector portion of his upgrade, he has to blink his eyes three times.

Corporate Shadowman (Profiteer):
Conner's family traditions raised him to be a cutthroat CEO in the civilian sector. He knows the inner workings of everything about his businesses and important or non-important contacts. It's primarily because of how he quickly found out the vices or weaknesses of someone like Berkeley L. Jensen. Berkeley's rogue nature made him an easy target for Conner's machinations to rid himself of Narvia. It didn't help that Berkeley hates brains over brawn, but some people cannot deal with the finer details of many plans. As well, Conner can easily use his corporate clout to be great at getting a better deal in the Galactic Market for his businesses and contacts that are aligned with him.

Gravia Military Overseer:
Conner controls the Gravia Military Company has his playground of what he requires of it. He received the leadership role of this military company from his stupid father, Stuart, when Conner was 13 years old. All the soldiers within the Gravia Military Company are used as toy soldiers beside his real family. They help him run the Gravia Military Company smoothly. As an Overseer, he keeps and controls the movement of his toy soldiers through his Omnitool to make sure none of them lose their programming, which he put into them.

Gravia Military Weapons Training (Swords & Sniper Rifles):
In terms, Conner has military-grade weapons training in the use of Sniper Rifles and specific melee weapons. The Gravine-JS560 Variance Rifle or the Gravine-JS561 Upgraded Variance Rifle is his bread and butter of usefulness. He primarily uses them to shoot 900 to 1,050 meters away. It helps him have a specific augmented Chip to help him increase the range of his sniper rifle. Conner also has specific ruthlessness in using his up and close personal sword called the Steiner Nanite Self-Repairing Blade. It shows a particular mastery with this one-of-a-kind blade. However, his talent cannot beat professional military-grade trained swordmasters.

Presidental Connections:
Conner has connections with the President for Life, Emmanuel. It is the primary reason why his Gravia Military Company has been given much leeway in the running smoothly as possible. He sees Emmanuel's vision as paramount to get rid of all factors against humanity. In terms, one of the Gravia Military Company's mottos is Better dead than being an alien slave. Somewhat similar to those long past mottos against Communism but slightly altered for the times humanity finds itself.

Personality:
Conner's personality has changed much throughout all his life, but he used to be a kind and caring kid. It all changed because his mother had died, and Rena Lina Hadley meant the world to Conner. He keeps it from everyone, which means he still cares, but it is hard for him to care. The understanding of the mind is an asset to him compare to the feelings getting in the way. It is why he would rather use brainwashing to get his will across over talking it out with the other side of the argument. The Hadley Estate and his family means everything to him, but the shift in his priorities is towards Shelly rather than Lana. All because the Hadley Family requires a male heir, and Shelly provides that service.

Conner sees the filth of Lana and her children as for what they are; the blood that flows in their veins isn't pure. He saw a problem in these children that they needed to be purified or altered in some way. It was why Conner destroyed Lana's unity rather than living a lie of happiness. The only reason was Lana's father killed Rena, the one person in his life he cares the most for, and it felt an insult to his mother's memory. It is why Conner never regretted anything done to Lana or her children. Conner does have many things to answer for, but he'll wait for that time when it comes to it. There is only one thing that drives him so far, and that's money and getting rid of those who are an insult to his family is a priority to him. His plans are still going on no matter what, and he won't let his personal feelings get in the way of finally marrying Shelly. Nikolas is the most enigmatic person he has met, so he realized one crucial thing he despised Nikolas. The only because his dumb father forced Nikolas onto him by making him the godfather of Lana and his children.

Conner hates and wants to know Stuart's reasoning for all his problems, including the secrets. It'll be intriguing to learn those secrets, but his father isn't on the highest priority list after learning of Narvia's death in the Ascendancy-Coalition War. He has given one crucial task to his emotional daughter Sarah the decider of Lana, Freya, and Ashley's fate. He also waits for the news of Nikolas's retirement by his military contacts to enact his further plans.

Short Bio:

Conner's History - An Evil Businessman

Conner's Childhood to Adulthood

When Conner was born on August 25, 2429, to Stuart and Rena. Conner's childhood was quite strange compared to the usual children of affluent parents that run the most influential MegaCorporation to date. He was going to become the next family's head, but there was a shock in his family with the death of his mother, Rena. It happened when Conner was ten years old, which was a great blow to him, but he had always been a kind child. On the other hand, his mother, Rena, was religious and always told him that she would die no matter what. There would be a demon going to take away the Angel for the rest of his life, which Conner nor Stuart seriously took until it happened.

Therefore, it caused Stuart to give Conner the leadership role of the Gravia Military Company when he hits 13 years old. It only because Stuart was grieving the death of Rena, but he felt like he was dealing with other essential things in the family. Primarily the disappearance of Conner's aunt, who was influential in his life, always looked at the bigger picture. In terms, he outright hated his father for his decision to give a Military company to a child, but deep down, he was incredibly proud to be its leader. However, Conner changed slightly since he always wanted to get revenge against the one who took his mother away. Enough it would have to be the Steven family who had done this specific task. If anything, he was intelligent to the point of creating his specialized AIs and other types of inventions. However, he had something a bit thrown onto his lap, which was a marriage between him and a Steven by the name of Lana.

Lana was a beautiful girl, who had lost much in her life, which made him slightly smile about it. Conner had to hide his true feelings of what he thought. Conner had a nice guy act but met someone who would change his life for the rest of it, Nikolas. If anything, it was annoying that Nikolas' had to be Lana and his godfather, but he only agreed since it would be better if someone named Lana's children instead of him. It was sudden since the guest of honor was no other than Grand Admiral Leon of the Dragon's Brigade Fleet and his son Nikolas, which felt like the Zahrin family will be a significant obstacle to his ambitions.

After Conner got married to Lana, he efficiently managed to brain control Lana, who people in her life easily manipulated. However, four years later, Conner met and fell in love with someone beautiful to him named Shelly. They had similar feelings about the Steven Family, and she was a year younger than Conner too. He had to keep up the plan with his wife Lana, a long game compared to short-term projects. Therefore, Conner got Shelly and Lana pregnant, but Shelly had twins while Lana only had a singular daughter. Sarah and Gregory are twin children of Shelly and Conner, which he loves much more than Lana's child named Freya.

After all that, the time flew by, and Conner had an additional two children with Lana by the names of Ashley and Narvia. It was odd, but he cared about Narvia since she looks identical to Lana, just younger. However, Conner learned about Narvia's birthmark on her left arm by a froniter-borned maid in his service. It made him keep with the code in his family, which was to get rid of Narvia. However, to do this, he had to hurt his other two children much. He waited until Narvia turned five years old when he would have a meeting later on that subject. She would be at her birthday party while Conner would be dealing with crucial details of her future.

Conner's Deal - Dirty Dealings

Conner sat at his desk in one of the many meeting rooms within his corporation. He had a call with an influential figure in the Ascendancy Military's High Command no other than Grand Admiral Berkeley. It was a bit before the meeting with Nikolas R. Zahrin, in which he had time to chat with Berkeley for some time. " Berkeley, I do hope you will keep your word that you will get rid of my daughter Narvia by any means necessary. I do hope you don't want your dirty laundry leaked all over the web and mainstream media. By some unscrupulous information brokers or whistleblowers of your deeds." He spoke with superiority over the brawn idiot that Berkeley is. He wondered what retort Berkeley would have to say to counter what was said.

Grand Admiral Berkeley laughs at the threat because he never takes what Conner says at face value. All because it reminds him what the Research and Development divisions in the military or even Nikolas R. Zahrin would say. However, he did see in Conner's eyes, and it showed a slight seriousness to them, but he was amused by responding incorrectly. " I will make sure Narvia gets an accidental death as you want, Conner. It would be so much better if I whipped her to death instead because she deserves it for being such a useless child. I won't fail you, don't you worry. I do enjoy butchering my enemies as much as my allies on accident or purpose. Conner, I do hope you have a good life." He spoke with assurances of his guarantees towards Conner. Hopefully, that will get the bastard his just desserts since the Hadley Family are a bane of existence to the galaxy. However, Berkeley signed off from the call since time flies when you plan revenge and other types of things.

Conner rolls his eyes at what he saw just by base instinct, and Grand Admiral Berkeley is a monster that will never be satisfied until he gets what he wants the most. Vienna R. Stoutfield was his ex-wife that he tried to murder for brutally leaving him to be with her savior in Nikolas. It makes him grateful Berkeley disconnected the call because any more of that brute gives him a headache as much as Nikolas' strong ideological beliefs. 'Ugh, Grand Admiral Berkeley will die a miserable death since he's a massive coward as much as he loves butchering others. No point anymore in telling him how he will die since he will learn it when it happens. The one who will get the last laugh at his death will be the Zahrin Family of all things. I don't care about the Jensen Family, and they are all fucked beyond belief.' Conner thought with a frustrated look while rubbing his forehead like he had to go through tons of channels to reach Berkeley for just a bit of talk. If anything, if Berkeley dies, Conner doesn't have to deal with that prick any longer, but he is useful as an attack hound. Conner never once thought Berkeley had any plans or any goals; only killing others was his goal in life. If he were a kinder man, he would be at Narvia's birthday instead of being here at this moment, planning to get rid of her. However, Conner was waiting when Nikolas R. Zahrin would get here so they can hash out the deal he made with the military on bribing them to help him get rid of Narvia, which he never said the exact reasons for getting rid of her.

When Nikolas walked into the meeting room with Vienna R. Stoutfield, his captain of his honor guard in the Dragon's Brigade Fleet, in terms of Nikolas' mood, he would rather go to his goddaughter's birthday party than be anywhere near Conner. Still, he was ordered by the President himself and eighty percent of the Ascendancy's Military. However, he knew something was up; it was in the air since he learned of the using children as guinea pigs to create magical super-soldiers, which he would call them 'Star Marines.' “I must ask Conner, what do you want? I haven't got all day, you know... I'm required to make sure the Dragon's Brigade Fleet is ready for anything from Berkeley's Butchers." He spoke with an irritated tone of voice and held his forehead. However, he did know about Conner's other family since those bastards did try to kill him, but Lana's children in his mind are much more important than Gregory and Sarah. He did notice seven armed guards, which were unprepared altogether, and Conner sitting behind his desk. It took him a bit to sit down at one of the seats, with his Diffuser Sword held in its sheath.

Conner noticed and was heavily irritated with Vienna walking into the room, which stood slightly behind her commanding officer. Only because she had two sisters, the youngest one worked for him, Jennifer was her name, while the other one is a captain of one of the starships in the Dragon's Brigade Fleet. He sighed slightly, which he finally smiles slightly towards Nikolas. "It's straightforward enough, why you were called here by almost everyone in the Ascendancy's High Command, besides Alexander Kherol. I know how much he despises my military company anyway, but you can't really stop a majority order by only being one man. It involves the little whore by the name of Narvia F. Hadley, and this farce, we call a friendship. Stuart was a total idiot when he allowed you to become the godfather of my children, but we can't really alter history now, can we?" He questioned with a slight bit of a smirk on his face. It made him roll his eyes since he always had hated Lana and was using her for his own gains. However, after a few moments of thinking a bit, he wants to insult Vienna too. "Also, Vienna, I must say, I can't wait until Jennifer goes back to your family in a container the size of a small cube. Her usefulness is at an end, you could say, she's no longer needed as a maid in my home. She can go back to the Dredge Point Refueling Station and live her life in constant pain and suffering. I never once liked the people born on the frontier; they are a means to an end, in all honestly. Their Cybernetic Implants are an affront to the purity of our human forms." He spoke in a slight superiority complex towards anyone who's from a much lesser background like the Stoutfields themselves since Maya is definitely a Stoutfield. It wouldn't be surprising if he riled up Nikolas a bit with his insults of Vienna, Maya, and Narvia.

Nikolas had one emotion rise up to the surface; it was all over his face, and that was rage would be the first time anyone would see the Dragon's Rage. It was specifically because of Conner's insulting of the Dragon's Brigade Fleet, Stoutfield Family, and Narvia F. Hadley. This means that the reason why he was called here, for this reason, is because Narvia is going to be put into that god awful 'Star Marine' program to be killed, so Conner doesn't have to. He slowly gets up and rapidly takes out his Diffuser Sword to point it directly towards Conner. "You complete and utter bastard... I can't believe you would harm your wife's children all for what? Petty revenge..." He spoke with a blatant rage in the tone of his voice, and he was about to the deed of cutting Conner in half. However, his sword was blocked by something, which he looked at and noticed his honor guard's sword blocking his Diffuser Sword. Impressive, Vienna had come a long way from when he first trained her.

Vienna looked at her Commanding officer and Conner at the same time, which she sighed because it seems these seven armed guards weren't quick enough to stop Nikolas. "Nikolas, stop this, you shouldn’t go down to his level... Do you want to be court-martialed for what? Killing one of the President's supporters, he would hang you for this..." She spoke with a bit of emphasis on the President's supporters more than Conner's level. However, she was furious too, but she wasn't going to take out Conner for his words because it isn't the Brigade's Way, or they would be classified like Berkeley's Butchers. "I can't believe I am going to say this, but can we get to the business at hand instead of being enraged or angry now? Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves; you should act like adults and not children... You are both in your thirties, while I am barely 20 years old..." She spoke towards the two men in the room, which shows she learned much from the idealism in the Brigade. Vienna did put back her sword since Nikolas would do the same since drawing your weapon means others would have to defend the one you attack, no matter what.

Conner was unironically grateful for Vienna's save, of all things, since his guards are incompetent since they are barely able to take out their weapons and shoot out at Nikolas. He sighed deeply and looked at Nikolas, which he was actually going to kill if it wasn't for Vienna. "Yes, please reseat yourself down, Nikolas... It looks like from the onset... My plans won't come to fruition, with Grand Admiral Berkeley..." He spoke with a tone in his voice that he was deathly afraid of Nikolas since he has never seen anger like that so suddenly. However, he did realize that what he said would probably make Nikolas angry, but he had a good scenario for everything. It took him to breathe in and out and move his hands to the armed guards that were useless to get the fuck out of here. And they did without any arguments from them since they knew failure isn't something to take likely in Conner's services.

Nikolas saw Vienna's putting up her weapon, and so he did with his; he laughed somewhat. If it weren't for Vienna, he would definitely be hanged by the Ascendancy's High Command for this. However, he reseated himself back on the chair he was sitting on before going so gun-ho on the bastard. But what he heard really pissed him off, which means Nikolas would have been the exchanger to give Narvia to Berkeley, which wouldn't be in his best interests. "You were going to give your daughter to Berkeley? I always knew your connections with Berkeley, but I can't believe you would sink so low as to use him to do whatever he wants is utterly stupid... Therefore, I must ask, what are you going to do, Conner? As well, may I be so kind... Don't Harm Narvia or those little brats you care so much for will blood on YOUR Hands." He spoke with a definite knowledge of what's going on. It definitely shows he's disgusted at this whole situation; Conner would allow Narvia to be near Berkeley when that bastard doesn't do what he is told most of the time. This is the reason why he had to save Maya from Berkeley.

Conner's eyes went wide for once in his life since he hasn't really realized what Berkeley does to women under his command since he didn't really want to know. He deeply sighed and shook his head slightly about the whole situation with Berkeley. "Alright, Alright... I concede... I hereby announce that the safety of Narvia Folspear Hadley is your responsibility and no one else's. Since I didn't know what Berkeley did to his female crew. I heard rumors of what he does but didn't know that's the truth. However, I will get back to you for this crime against my sensibilities... It's a bit funny, I am giving Narvia to the one person I hate the most, but I don't want Narvia's Innocence to be destroyed. I beg of you, to hide this from... her." He spoke like a true father for once in his life to Narvia, but he does hate her still only because of what was on her. It is funny to ask the one person to hide it from his own child that he truly cares about in only this moment. However, he needs to tell Nikolas about when she's supposed to be taken by him. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, Five years later is when she's legally allowed to be taken to become a Child Soldier of the Ascendancy. Also, one more thing, what was that one thing you wanted to tell me before we got heated?" He questioned slightly since he was interested. It is odd for him to ask this at all since he never really enjoyed Nikolas or his stories.

Nikolas had a feeling Narvia would be taken at 10 years old since that feels like the age of all the children would be taken at. However, he was more shocked at Conner didn't know about what the monster does to his female officers and soldiers, but sighed with relief about the whole thing. He will have basically care for Narvia like she deserves, like a father she deserves. He laughed slightly at the one thing he wanted to know. "Alexander Kherol is a legend on my planet by 'taming' a Wyvern. But he's really more of leader material than a Wyvern Tamer. It's nice you are giving me your daughter; it seems like you have shown your true colors even more than you know. You truly do care for them, but you will never actually tell them to your face, will you?" He questioned Conner because it's obvious as the day he truly does care, but his hate for what flows in their blood is blinding him to the truth of the matter. However, it was now time for him to leave since he definitely learned from what he has done today. Nikolas knows their relationship is over, but he will keep his word that Narvia will never know the truth about this event since he's the Cryptic Rear Admiral of the Dragon's Brigade Fleet.

The two went their separate ways after that moment; no matter what, they still hate each other to this day, but they learned something important from the other. Never underestimate Nikolas' Rage or his willingness to make things right. Conner often looks back onto these moments with a bit of a miscalculation on his part in getting the Dragon so riled up he almost died for it. However, he still hates what Nikolas brought up about the legacy of Alexander Kherol since all those Wyverns would be useful would make much more money to keep his corporation on top of Mars' Corporations and Research Institutes.

Oddity and Investigation

Conner had an oddity appear on his screen on his desk in the office, which said someone went into his study at the house. It had the signature of Narvia F. Hadley, which was definitely odd; what does that mean. He rushed home to figure out what had happened, but his daughter was sleeping when he did get home. Therefore, he had to figure out what had happened in the office that made that oddity happen since the Estate's Warning System tells him if anything enters his study without permission. It took him some odd time to look through the cameras and saw the oddest thing ever. However, he wouldn't want to bring this up with Narvia since it's taboo to enter his study without permission.

It was like it was real as day, but he had much to deal with to make sure his plans don't get ruined, but he told his children with Shelly not to harm Narvia no matter what. This was because they would be giving Nikolas the little girl on her 10th year birthday. When the day had come, the one good thing he learned was Gregory and Sarah were shaken with their next encounter with Nikolas but unharmed. It is like the Dragon does keep his word, which means it is funny enough. The Honorable Dragon that he is makes it easy to know what should happen to the Dragon.

He sent an encrypted message to the President or anyone in league with the President since he knows that there's going to be a war soon, from what he learned from the Butcherer. That there was alien scum that built a massive Galactic Bazaar. Obvious as day that the humans wanted to increase their living space and be the first ones to give the aliens a decisive blow to the aliens. This encrypted message was to ask the President to disband the Dragon's Brigade Fleet after the war and update him on any developments. With the most decorated military officer to this date, the only other one would be Alexander Kherol. It feels like the two most opposed fleets because one fleet is on a harsh Ice World, and the other is on a Paradise World like Draken'vina. However, Nikolas outright respects Alexander Kherol out of all the Grand Admirals in the Ascendancy. The fleet's idealistic behavior is a massive problem, and the Dragon is definitely a dangerous man for his beliefs. The Dragon's Brigade Fleet would be better to 'disappear' in the ether as the last known remnants of the Zahrin Family.

The Present Day

Year, 2476 AD; Conner is patiently waiting for information on the data on what Nikolas R. Zahrin said during that meeting with Grand Admiral Alexander and Grand Admiral Laguna. Therefore, he can activate his next stage of the plan; he knows many things. Still, he fully supports Grand Admiral Laguna and Emmanuel in everything they are doing for the Ascendancy. No matter what, humanity will regain its rightful place in the stars and take down all its enemies. It is better to be dead than an Alien slave, is what his Military Company's Motto is. Hopefully, he can look at the unique technology that is on the Dragon's Brigade Fleet ships. They are definitely dangerous compared to other types of ships. He always wanted to get his hand on a Black Ops Ship, and now his loyalty will be rewarded for all he has done. In this case, he cannot wait for Grand Admiral Laguna's arrival to Astervole One, his second Headquarters of the Gravia Military Company. It is because his military company protects the Primary Core of space.

Conner would have done that no matter what to protect the blue pure world from anyone since Emmanuel's primary power base. His power base is on Mars, which is why there are always two headquarters for his company. Slightly funny, he threatened Berkeley constantly to leak his dirty laundry, but he truly never did, but he learned by a rumor that Berkeley killed himself at the Battle of Proxima. Good riddance to bad rubbish, one less trash in the galaxy. Primarily from a source, which was intercepted by one of the Gravia Military Company's Information Brokers. It showed that Berkeley was much more than a Butcherer in those final moments of his life, an oddity, to say the least. Always showing a false face to hide deep down, he was a coward and only wanted the glory to wipe away his crimes, and that list is many. The Butcherer was actually vulnerable for the first time in his life, and Conner got to see it, which was a bit sad, but fate had other plans for Berkeley's Butchers. However, taking his own life would make sure his entire crimes would probably be known for all time by everyone in the galaxy, alien, human, and others. Obviously, 'remnants of his fleet' after that battle didn't want to be assimilated because the association of who they followed would be hanged for his crimes instead. At least, the fleet's remnants were much much weaker than the full power of what Berkeley's Butchers were only a ragtag fleet of fewer than 10 ships and all smaller than cruisers.

It would be a matter of time when Berkeley's Butchers would be erased from complete history since they deserve that much. However, the turnover rate of soldiers in Berkeley's 11th fleet was staggering, which meant more than twenty percent of his personnel would quit rather than stay in that fleet longer than a year or two. It was only because of how much of a bastard Berkeley was, which was saying something. However, Conner had much more important things to worry about than 10 ships that couldn't really do anything but be eradicated by the might of Alexander Kherol. In terms of waiting for word of Nikolas R. Zahrin's full retirement and his honor that he will stay on Draken'vina. This information would definitely come from Grand Admiral Laguna or even Alexander Kherol if he felt like talking to a Businessman who supports the President. The galaxy works in mysterious circumstances, but that would be for another day, he supposed. Conner sits at his desk at the Hadley In-Vector Corporation, watching Berkeley's last will for one last time since it's interesting to see a man who acted tough was really softy this whole time. He laughs at Brawns over Brains when it would be better to have both things or people to help you with the latter instead of pushing everyone away because you have a hate for change. He did send a small encrypted message to Alexander Kherol, congratulating him on everything he's accomplished throughout his career and gaining any insight from Alexander Kherol during his meeting with Nikolas R. Zahrin, the Dragon.

Extra Information:

The Hadley Family - Conner's True Family

Scott Noreen Hadley is the founder of the new age of prosperity for his family. It took him only ten years after founding the Gravia Military Company to form the Hadley In-Vector Corporation. The MegaCorporation's Date of Creation happened in 2276 AD, under complete control by the Hadley Family. The Hadley Family lives on Mars, which had many different families, underdogs vying for supremacy. However, Scott was nicknamed the Maddening among his family because of his outrageously skeptical prophecies, which came true with every single step forward for his family.

He was a visionary compared to his competition, which made him one dangerous man to deal with in any way. The Gravia Military Company helped him keep his other competition down, which had him as the Overseer. Additionally, in the 210 years, the company has grown to have two Headquarters; the first one is called Scott's Heritage on Mars. The second one is called Astervole One, an Asteroid Base in the Sol System over the Asteroid Belt. The Prophecies of the Maddening One is the tomb where he kept all his visions written down. Scott's primary vision saw the Hadley Family's fall by one born into the family by a foreboding, omen bearing birthmark, which has three stars surrounding a triangle. This child in question would have the worst luck in the family, no matter their gender. This is the family's biggest secret, which only members of Scott's Bloodline can know it. That means no one outside of the family can know this secret, or it'll cause a panic in the family as a whole. It has only been passed down to the eldest or only son throughout the two-hundred years under the Maddening One's Prophecies. However, most family members are still skeptical about this omen bearing birthmark since it hasn't shown up in the family so far.

In terms of Conner, he had a presence or birthright surrounding him, which was Scott N. Hadley's second coming. This means Conner has been leading double lives as a loving father and planning something terrible for the other part of his life, including Lana's family. The Double Life comes from the reason he cheated on his wife Lana with Shelly L. Marshall's woman. Simultaneously, both women had children, which he's much kinder to Shelly's kids than Lana's children or even to Lana herself. He had three children in 2449 AD, one with Lana by Freya and the other two with Shelly, twins by Gregory, and Sarah's name. Lana had two children, additionally, with Conner by the names of Ashley and Narvia. Conner & Lana's children have a godfather named Nikolas R. Zahrin, which also named his children on top of it. If anything, he despises how honorable and idealistic Nikolas is, making him unbearable to deal with most of the time while trying to hide the truth. In all this time, he outright hates his father for giving him the burden of controlling the Gravia Military Company at 13 years old.

Afterward, Conner learned an important detail from a Frontier-Born Maid, Narvia, his last-born daughter with Lana, had the Omen bearing birthmark. This information pissed him off, which made him smile at the maid in allowing her to keep her position for now, but she's a Stoutfield, the worst of the frontier-born people, who live on a Refueling Station called Dredge Point, near a Gas Giant in bump fuck nowhere. At least he had a mistress on the same plan as him since she was his advisor in the Gravia Military Company and the mother to Gregory and Sarah. However, Conner did have perfect control over his wife, Lana, from a broken family home called the Steven Family. Lana could've been a catalyst to stop the feud between the two families, but Conner hadn't enough patience to deal with that problem. He still hated her family for killing his mother, Rena. Derrick, Lana's father, was brutally killed by Lana's older sister Maria, a tragedy, but it was one less thorn in the Ascendancy's side. Conner knew how close Lana was with her two sisters, but her closest to Maria was greater. It didn't help when Lana learned about Maria's trial and execution by Berkeley R. Jensen, the Admiral of the 11th Fleet. Berkeley was young for his time, but he was the most brutal of the Grand Admirals already, mostly because killing an anti-propagandist dissident is the military's job. Conner never thought it possible it would be easy to control Lana, who was grieving over her father and older sister's deaths. It was odd that she was grieving for Derrick for what his assumptions were cruel beatings, but Conner never really cared or wanted to know the truth about the matter.

Conner had many plans, with Shelly's help, to get rid of Narvia and use Lana's eldest daughters as tools in his schemes. If anything, he once had genuine feelings for Lana when he first met her, which was love at first sight. The family's tradition was meant to make sure he would get rid of Narvia F. Hadley and get the others to leave his life for their pitiful existence. He already had his true family with his advisor Shelly and her children Sarah and Gregory. However, he has to wait before implementing the second phase of his plans with Lana, Freya, and Ashley, by good news from Emmanuel, the Ascendancy President, and Grand Admiral Laguna, about the second other greatest thorn in his side, the Dragon. Because Nikolas outright saw through his plans with his youngest daughter, which makes him a bit worried that if the Dragon's Brigade Fleet is allowed to stay operational, it will ruin his plans. The Hadley Family never breaks from Scott's one family tradition, and that is never to kill your own family and allow someone else to do the deed. It couldn't be helped that Berkeley utterly failed in that one task he asked him to do, but Nikolas' brigade protected Narvia throughout the war. Conner waits and smiles, hoping to hear the words of ' the Dragon will stay at his roost,' because it will be a good time to start his next part of his plans. However, he has given Shelly and his daughter Sarah the right to pick Lana, Freya, and Ashley's Fate.

Seraphina "Phi" Leere

✴️🌸Seraphina Leere🌸✴️

Nickname: Phi 🔸
Race: Enhanced Human 🔸
Occupation: Rebel Agent 🔸
Gender: Biologically female, but identifies as neither in particular 🔸
Age: 16 yrs 🔸
Height: 165 cm 🔸
Weight: 62 kg 🔸
Eyes: Light silver/Steel grey 🔸
Hair: Platinum blonde/Black 🔸
Skin: Pale 🔸

---

🔶Physical Description:
Seraphina was a gorgeous child and to this day remains the kind of person others would assume to be a model. Though for many years she has taken steps not just to deemphasize that attractiveness but also to make their gender less clear. Be it a full on disguise or the lack of makeup and flattering clothes Phi aims for, and usually achieves, an androgynous appearance. Even in a casual setting among allies Phi will probably at least be wearing a black wig, steel grey contacts and a binder under loose clothing. Despite these efforts Phi's slight frame, delicate features, and soft voice often still get her described as cute.

An expert with disguises Phi can take their usual efforts much farther, becoming a completely different person. Whoever they want, or need to be within their height range Phi can both look and play the part, changing speech and body language to match the disguise. To a certain extent Phi can even play at being another race, especially with clever use of Skinshift.

All masks aside Phi is a slender young human female with the tight, lean muscles of a supersoldier hidden under that thin layer of skin and fat. Her hair is a silvery platinum blonde, wavy and never allowed to grow past her shoulders. Her natural eyes are an unusual bright silver, a rare feature from birth and not a result of augmentation. Her lighter skin has become quite pale from the amount of cover she wears and time spent away from natural lighting in space. It would not be hard to imagine her as a fairy or elf from fantasy tales, though Phi strongly desires to distance herself from this perception. Much to her chagrin, however, her natural looks have their uses in the kind of work she does.

No masks

🔶Short Bio:
Not much is known about Phi as she has never spoken of her past and her missions were almost always solo operations. An individual with a notable presence when she did socialize, Phi seemed to be holding back or rather closing off her heart most of the time. Efficient and focused during missions Phi was known for providing tactical support or taking on covert missions that did not require a whole squad.

The one memorable time she was assigned to a unit was during the battle of Proxima Centauri, during the boarding of the Rau've flagship. Contrary to her exemplary service up to that point, she seemed distracted and her sloppy combat performance got her separated from the others. She was captured just the same as the others in the end. Surprisingly when offered freedom Phi showed interest in joining the rebellion, even though she had never expressed discontent.

(Complete bio is omitted and will be filled in as the story progresses)

---

🔶Spell List:
☀️Sear Bolt (High)- A simple and common attack spell that causes severe burns. Phi's version of this spell bursts into lingering hot liquid that has a high chance to ignite what it hits with normal fire
🌀Warding Barrier (High)- A 1.5 meter curved disk that can protect against a few hits. The shield itself is not very powerful but the spell includes a lingering effect that protects Phi from magic
🦟Seekers (High)- Appearing as tiny flying insects Phi can 'see' through these and use them as short range scouts. They can also detect nearby magic
👥Skin shift (Change)- A useful spell that may have several minor effects. Mainly it is used to create a disguise if one is not already prepared. Another common use is to create thin scales that offer some protection. It can also heal minor surface damage or camouflage Phi
🔶Exceptional Skill List:
🌸Exceptional Charisma x3 (+2 from bonus skills)- Phi has an inexplicable charm about her, a strong personality that resonates with others. Regardless of the interaction Phi has an effect on people, and has a natural talent for persuasion or coercion *Currently her natural charm is sometimes marred by internal struggles she has not shared, limiting the effect as people tend to pick up on those insecurities
👁️Covert Operative- With a natural talent solo operations requiring stealth and deception Phi was often used as an infiltrator or saboteur, providing tactical advantages more often than direct combat. With her observation skills and sharp mind Seraphina learned well from these missions and has only expanded her knowledge and skills since then. Now she is well suited to more traditional espionage in addition to those original skills
🔶Bonus Skills:
🎭Exceptional Acting- Related to yet apart from her skills as a covert operative Phi had a talent for acting at an early age. Left alone, as opposed to abducted and loaded full of super drugs, she might have become an actress. Though she has little training in this area Phi polished these skills on her own time
⛰️Exceptional Will- A naturally strong willed child, Phi's willpower was only nurtured by her trials as a young super soldier. Phi is adept at not succumbing to the will of others as well as resisting mind magic *Notable from the battle of Proxima Centauri onward this iron will seems to be less reliable than it was in previous operations and interactions

---

🔶Important items:

• Assortment of compact tactical weapons, older but more reliable tech with some advanced gear frankensteined onto them. Includes a few melee weapons, some with questionable value to the modern battlefield
• Older but especially reliable miltary omnitool with advanced tech and features added to enhance original capabilities. Modified to look like an old piece of junk the tool does still use outdated protocols at its core. The additional tech allows it to interface with most modern systems, but the device itself is surprisingly difficult to hack
• EVA suit and equipment, military grade. This is an unfamiliar and state of the art make that remains minimalist, much like Phi herself
• A cobbled together 'micro laboratory' that can be packed into something the size of a small crate or large case. The equipment is specialized in the analysis, breakdown, and recombination of elements. Phi is no scientist but has experience creating compounds to either harm or support various life forms and objects. A crack chemist where it pertains to assisting in combat (most experience in poison, thermite, and healing salves for humans)
• Outfits, cosmetics, and prosthetics for disguises
  Several compact first aid kits for most races, regularly stocked and updated
• Several compounds stored for quick use, mostly poison and thermite devices
• Interestingly unlike most people Phi keeps no mementos or personal items

[jdh97]

Name: Laurey Karlin
Age: 27
Physical Description:
Perhaps the most striking thing about Laurey are her eyes, neon diamonds with their own inner light; the same inner light that leaks through slender screens of her cyberware in pulses. Whilst not unattractive, she cultures a neo-punk look, complete with shaggy mohawk, piercings, and tattoos in some questionable places. What comes with this is a lack of hygiene; her clothes are old and worn and reek of the same blend of ripe sweat and soy-curry mix.

Art

Important items:
Crystal Necklace: A shard of translucent crystal, about as long as her thumb, set into a silver cord. It catches the light in its many faces and throws out rainbows. The crystal never seems to warm, yet the feel of it against her skin is comfort enough to sleep. Sometimes. One day it just started; a pure chime inside her head whenever magic was used in her vicinity. Of course, at first Laurey just assumed this was another artefact of whatever they did to her head. She figured it out fast: it was her necklace reacting to magic nearby.

Flimsy ID of someone who doesn’t exist: The picture isn’t even of Laurey. Why she keeps it isn’t immediately obvious, but if a lab was to analyse it, they may find traces of Bliss residue along one edge. It helps keep the lights in check.

Short Bio:

Bio

L: “Why did I ask to be taken prisoner? Gee, I don’t know, you must be a smart guy, why do you think?”

~: “I can speculate, but I want to hear it from you, Laurey.”

L: “Maybe it starts with saving my skin. Maybe it goes I don’t want to go back. Maybe I don’t like it there. In fact, maybe I hate it.”

~: “And if you hate it so much, why only leave now?”

She snorts at this, her face twisting in derision before she seems to grow bored suddenly and leans back into her chair.

L: “Ain’t got much choice. This might have been the only chance I’d ever get to get out. It’s worth risking pirates for that.”

~: “What makes it so bad?”

She shrugs at this. I wait, but she isn’t forthcoming.

~: “Why didn’t you have the chance to escape before? I was told you were crew, not a prisoner of the vessel?”

L: “I was both, in some ways, innit. Crew and captive of the Ascendancy. Not normal military, no no. They keep a close leash on us, give us the illusion of freedom but really we’re whipped dogs. All hush hush. Whoever had those goons attack can’t much like the Ascendancy; there were some good minds there with me. I watched them die.”

She sniffs.

L: “Pretty gross really.”

~: “It was an intellectual transport?”

L: “I guess you could call it that. We were being moved to another station. To work on the Shadow Weave project. But I’m not supposed to tell anyone that. Classified.”

She winks.

~: “Right, and you’ve worked on other projects before?”

L: “No! That’s how they move all newbies about. What do you think? Yeah, cybersecurity, robotics, engineering, anything with numbers and puzzles, ever since they minced me through that special division of their Grand Military Academy. Gave me my own little disco.”

She taps the chrome and neon on the side of her head.

L: “It’s nothing compared to the light show in my head.”

She lowers her hand and fixes me with a stare that I can’t quite explain. It gave me shivers.

L: “Look, can I go now? I need… I need some alone time.”

She begins to scratch her arms as she says this, and then catches herself. I press forward.

~: “And that’s why you wanted to escape? Because you never chose to be there? To be what you are?”

At this her eyes seemed to glaze over, bright though they were, and I could tell she was a million miles away, back into her memories. I gave her time but nothing.

~: “Is that why you kept asking after Moonstrike?”

When she speaks next, her tone is flat and she never meets my eye.

L: “I’ve always loved shiny things, my mum called me ‘her little magpie’. Even since I was a mite. Then I found a shiny thing better than all the rest. It loved me, you know?”

~: “Okay -”

Before I can say another word, her eyes snap up to meet mine.

L: “I’ve always found intelligence attractive.”

I decided to abandon that line with her. Clearly there’s something there. Perhaps you can hash it out with her? If she lives long enough.

~: “Okay, okay. Laurey, I’m going to be frank with you now. I need to know if you hate the Ascendancy.”

L: “Yes.”

~: “Enough to risk your life, or some worse fate, to strike out against them.”

L: “Yes.”

~: “Then I’m going to send you on your way to someone who can help you with that. Does that sound good?”

L: “Yes.”

So there you have her, a little broken, but aren’t we all? That was my latest conversation with her. I have sent the files of our other conversations, and the reports of those who took her captive. Natasha, she’s bright, really bright, and her gear… it’s not like anything I’ve seen, and I’m no expert, but that stuff would be expensive. To put it in a keep so much of her cognitive functioning intact? I could retire on whatever they’d paid a surgeon that could do that. She’s too hot for our team Natasha, we can’t risk somebody coming to reclaim her, so I’m sending her to you.

Consider my debt repaid in full.

Exceptional Skill List:
Cybernetics, Neural Augmentation (Exceptional Reactions, Exceptional Learning): Installed by the military after a period of mental and chemical conditioning so that Laurey might better serve the Talos division. The bulk is localised in her grey matter and skull but stretches throughout her nervous system and to key glands. Via electrical, physical, and biological means, it endows enhanced neuroplasticity and neuronal transmission speed, allowing her to learn, process information and react faster. However, these alterations make Laurey more vulnerable to sensory overload and increase her basal metabolic rate, not to mention there have been reports of certain psychological effects from such alterations. The studies in this area are yet inconclusive.

Cybernetics, System Interfacing and Data Plane Projection (Exceptional Systems Engineering, Exceptional Robotics, Exceptional Hacking): Another hypocritical atrocity conducted in secret under certain factions of the Ascendancy. Cerebral connection ports in her skull allow Laurey to connect to Ascendancy technology directly. Paired with the Neural Augmentations, this allows Laurey to process the information rapidly and form visualisations and abstractions of computer systems, allowing intuitive manipulation. In addition, the index finger on her right hand is bionic and can open up to form a port that can interact with a wider array of technology, but is slower due to the distance from the brain.

Naturally Gifted, Unnaturally Trained (Exceptional Intelligence, Exceptional Robotics, Exceptional Engineering): Selected for her intellect and creative flare in engineering, the training Laurey received made her an expert in robotics at the bleeding edge and gave her a compliment of skills that any contemporary engineer would need, ship, base or planet-bound. She has the most experience with starships and infantry weapons.

Bonus Skills
Creative and Curious (Exceptional Tinkerer x2, Exceptional Engineering, Exceptional Robotics): A habit that developed from the need to sate an overactive mind with focussed curiosity. Taking things apart and putting them back together… just not necessarily how they were originally, it’s what brings Laurey joy. Her scientific method and drive for answers means she yields reproducible results, even if it’s only how she broke it.
