[OOC] Innocence Lost - A Science Fantasy RP [v.03]

[The Man Emperor]

Name: Kanarusii/Kanarusians

Status to Humans: The Kanarusii are members of the Alien Coalition, and as such, are considered part of the 'Alien Menace'. They're viewed as enemies of mankind, though the Kanarusii say that they merely defend themselves. On an individual level, the Kanarusii could be friendly to humans that do not provoke them, or they can be relentlessly hostile to the point of attacking humans on sight. One can never be sure.

Life expectancy: 250 solar rotations on average without augmentations; could reach up to 500 years when enhanced through technological or magical ways.

Genders: Male and Female.

Full Description:

Feldraken

Sahrkosi

Kanarusii are, for the lack of a better description, reminiscent of the dragons of ancient human mythology. They are a reptilian race of quadrapeds, with the front limbs of some subspecies being integrated wings like that of a bat, the others have none at all. Usually, they have a slender, sinewy frame, measuring at 7-12 feet long and 2-4 feet tall excluding the head and wings (if they have those). Kanarusii have sharp, serrated teeth, as they evolved from apex predators in their Homeworld. The entire race is instinctively capable of shapeshifting, though they are incapable of transforming into a different magical race, such as the Kaisoken or Zvevd. They most often shapeshift into a vaguely humanoid version of themselves in order to work tools and machinery.

Though the subspecies of Kanarusii are diverse, they typically fall into one of two groups; winged, or wingless. Flight capable Kanarusii, known as the Feldraken, are often wielders of pyrokinesis and aerokinesis. The wingless ones, known as the Sahrkosi, are typically electrokinetic, and hydrokinetic. They begin manifesting magic at age 20, and it usually takes decades for them to have fine tuned control over their abilities; it is noted that they are most in tune with World Magic. Usually, they're weaker than Star Marines and Kaisoken in terms of power output, but a well trained Kanarusian is still dangerous nonetheless.

Kanarusii live in a variety of environments, which has influenced the divergence of their race into different sub-species. Feldrakens live on the tops of mountains, cliffsides, and volcanoes, while the Sahrkosi inhabit the oceans, rivers, and lakes.

-------------------------------------------

Type of society: The Kanarusians are a loosely united feudal confederation, divided into the Nine Houses that hold power over the systems. The Nine Houses are, respectively, Loken, Astoria, Shtarbane, Fenruss, Karadras, Targon, Aoshen, Zeran, and Vulcaria. The most powerful of the Houses are Vulcaria (a Feldraken House) and Aoshen (a Sahrkosi House), who rule over the two core systems of the Kanarusian Confederacy. Kanarus itself is ruled by the High Lords; the council to which the Houses answer.

Technological advancement: Despite appearances, Kanarusians are technologically advanced due to being uplifted by another alien race two millennia prior to current events, which most often manifests in their cybernetic augmentations; some of them are half mechanical. However, Kanarusians with cybernetics render themselves unable to shapeshift.
--------------------------------------------

Miscellaneous: There are rumours that their shapeshifting allows them to have children with other races, though this has never been proven...

??? 'Jude' Styles

-------------------------

Common Inventory

Omni-tool - A bog standard model in poor shape. Not integrated into Jude's cybernetics. Filled to the brim with music.

HF Gun-blade - A katana, with an integrated coil-gun system near the hilt with the barrel running up the blunt edge of the blade. The katana's blade can vibrate at incredibly high frequencies to increase cutting power.

Mono-molecular Whipsword - A second katana, this one made of a special magnetic metal that allows it to split into whip-like segments and extend along a monofilament wire when swung hard enough. All of its edges are honed to a single molecule edge.

Galactic Credits - A few thousand credits, digitally stored.

Spell List

^{Jude was given fewer spells than a standard marine. In-universe, this was because they spent more time being experimented on and less time practicing their magic than their peers. OOC, this was simply because I felt Jude's stronger robotic body gave them an upperhand that should be given a downside, like fewer spells.}

Stasis [Timespace] - For up to five seconds, Jude can freeze their own place in time and space, making them unable to be effected by any kind of force. However, they can not move or sense anything during this time, and it is quite taxing to use more than once in a short span.

Magnokinesis [World] - Jude has the ability to manipulate magnetic fields, most often used in conjunction with their whipblade to make it curve and move in odd ways, confounding opponents. It can be used on any other object, however. There is even enough magnetic material in them that they can fling themself, though it is incredibly tiring and hard to do.

Metal Molding [World] - Jude can make any metal they are currently within a foot of melt into a meldable liquid like mercury without altering its temperature. When in this state it can be manipulated like a tentacle as long as it stays close to Jude in one unbroken mass. Moving too far (or simply stopping the magic) has the metal reharden to its original solidity in whatever shape it was molded into. Like Magnokinesis, Jude can use this on their own metal body, though here it is no more taxing than usual, and is in fact the general way they use this ability.

Death Rattle [Mind] - Jude can let out a horrifying scream. Those with weak wills and low resistance to mind magics can be rendered immediately unconscious by hearing it, but stronger people will simply become light-headed, and feel it become harder to concentrate. The soundwave itself also has some kinetic force behind it, about as much as a strong breeze. This magic skill indiscriminately targets friend and foe.

Character Traits

Robotic Construction - Around 70% of Jude's body has been replaced with cybernetics. All four limbs, the face, a variety of organs and even part of the brain. While they are far hardier and a bit stronger than most sapient creatures without wearing any armor, they need routine recharging in addition to food to make sure they survive, and an EMP would severely hamper their ability to move and function.

Frontliner - Jude is used to putting their life at risk. With a heavily dulled sense of pain and robotic parts improving on their internal biology, they can push themselves harder, and for longer than the unmodified soldier ever could. They're used to wading into the big fights and putting their life in danger for little reason, so more intense missions are not an issue.

Empathetic - Despite their dour, edgy nature, Jude is deeply empathetic to others, able to see where they are coming from and understand why they might take those actions, even if they are unquestionably selfish or evil. They have come to terms with killing as a necessary evil sometimes, however.

-------------------------

Biography: Jude had a profoundly normal life before their transformation, though they don't remember too much of it. They were the child of two loving parents, one of whom worked a simple office job, and the other quit hers to become a full time parent. They were an emotional child, very attached to their parents and slow to make friends, occasionally anxious or mopey. They were overall, a very unimportant person-- not easy to kidnap, not connected to any important families or rebellious parents. The reason for their particular selection was their biology.

Their profound normality extended to their genes as well. They were generic to a tee, and would prove the perfect testing grounds as to the limits of genetic alteration in addition to the Kaisoken dust tests. Jude was never far from at least one of their parents, so the details of how they were kidnapped are sketchy to them, considering what happened next.

Instead of a few experiments followed by a battery of abuse and humiliation, Jude was used over and over again as a lab rat, having limbs and organs exposed to high quantities of Kaisoken dust, Rau've-based drugs, serums and other trials pushing the limits of the scientific process. Often parts of their body would have to be amputated and replaced by cybernetic limbs, or kept in check through careful administration of a constant stream of drugs. Even their mind was fair game, and they've been left with permanent memory problems, unable to remember much of their life before the Star Marines program, or even what their gender was before everything that happened.

It was debated whether Jude would ever even see combat, but the Ascendancy were not one to let things go to waste, and many who worked with Jude were eager to see the robotic monstrosity they became die somewhere other than in front of them. They were given far less time to master their magical skills compared to fellow soldiers, but their metal skin proved a helpful asset, and their cybernetics were modified to become combat ready. They barely interacted with the other children, unsuited to doing so and having an appearance that generally warded off anyone in the mood to talk. They simply 'clocked in and clocked out' of the war, as much as they were able to.

While originally mistaken for some kind of android, Jude was afforded the mercy of the Rau've after their capture like all other Star Marines. They could not accept the Rau've's offer for a 'normal' life, however. All they knew was war, and deep down, they wanted to see their real parents again. They joined Moonstrike at its inception, but their withdrawn and flighty nature has meant they haven't seen many missions yet.

[The Man Emperor]

Name: Doruva Al’Kays-Aoshen (goes by Drayven Arken when shapeshifted)

Age: 96

Species: Kanarusian

Physical Description:

Original Form

In his original form, Doruva is 10 feet long and five feet tall.

Human form

When shapeshifted into a human, he takes on the form of a blond man with golden eyes. He is 5’11”, and has a strong build to reflect the strength he has in his original form.

Humanoid Kanarusian

When turned into the humanoid form of his race, he usually prefers to take on purple scales, retaining the golden eyes that his human form has. He has wings in this form, though it seems that he can’t fly with them.

-------------------------

Important items:
- Omni-Tool
- Diary: Contains his notes. Don't touch it without permission. It's booby trapped.
- Money: Doruva has 500,000 credits, perhaps loaned by the House of Aoshen itself…
- Dragon's Breath Whiskey: If an ordinary human tried to drink it, they would die from alcohol poisoning.

Weapons:
- Stormclaw Gauntlets; a pair of gauntlets each outfitted with three retractable metal claws that crackle with electricity drawn from Doruva's magic. The gauntlets could be launched to act as grappling hooks to grab onto a target within twenty feet. It is highly effective against unarmored enemies.
- Equalizer Submachine Guns: A pair of fully automatic submachine guns (akin to the ancient Uzis of old Terra). They fire bolts of plasma, and their batteries are rechargeable.

Spell List:

Shapeshifting (Change): Doruva can shapeshift into any creature with equal or less mass than his original form. He cannot turn into something that is naturally magical, such as a Kaisoken or Zvevd.

Lightning Spike (World): Doruva can either breath out a stream of lightning (original form), or shoot it out of his hands (humanoid form). The strength and damage of the attack varies from a slight tickle into a destructive blast akin to an actual lightning strike, which scales with energy consumption.

Electromagnetic Pulse Burst (World): Doruva releases an electromagnetic pulse burst in a radius of 20 feet, damaging/disabling electronics within that area.

Lightning Mimicry (World/Change): Turns into a watermelon ball sized ball of electricity for up to five seconds at a time, shocking entities that get too close and avoiding non-magical attacks in that state. In this form, Doruva cannot move, and can be used every two minutes.

Electric Channeling (World): Doruva is able to absorb and harness electricity from outside sources, up to 2 megawatts.

Heart of the Tempest (World): Nurtures a ball of magic over twenty seconds, which upon activation is released into the sky and forms a storm 100 meters in diameter that drenches the area and reduces visibility. This spell is only usable on planetary environments with high levels of humidity. Unusable in any form that is not his original.

Character Traits:
Warrior of House Aoshen:Doruva is a skilled fighter, capable of fighting in any one of the three primary forms he takes. He has spent decades honing his magic, and decades more on his skills.

-------------------------

Short Bio: Doruva hails from the Kanarusian House of Aoshen, the second most powerful of the factions within the Kanarusian Confederacy. He comes from a world of unspoiled natural beauty, at least until looks unto the seas and gazes upon the sprawling floating settlements that his kind had built.

Details are scant, as the Kanarusians had always been a secretive race, even from each other. However, is it known that ever since he started manifesting magic in his twenties, Doruva had been one of the more talented of the Kanarusian sorcerers, honing his magical skills for decades before the war against the Ascendancy. At an age of 60, Doruva was powerful enough to form a swirling storm, a hallmark of magical power for the Sahrkosi, who were well renowned for their mastery over the elements of lightning and water by their neighbours, such as the Five Feldraken Houses and the Kaisoken, who were fellow magical groups. Doruva himself would be a cloistered scholar for most of his life, occasionally inserting himself into the nations of other races with the aid of his shapeshifting in order to gather intelligence for his House. He had gone to numerous places and worlds, seen many deaths and births. He had friends in both low and high places, though only a few know of his true heritage.

Things become more interesting at the onset of the war against the Ascendancy. The Ascendancy and the Coalition went to war, unleashing a conflict unlike any other. At first, the Confederacy, being self absorbed, did not join, until several Houses joined with the Coalition out of fear of human encroachment. They would soon endure the consequences, with House Salakar being destroyed by the Ascendancy, every last scion and lord being felled by the human forces. This sparked the rest of the Confederacy to join in with vengeance in mind.

And there comes Doruva Al’Kays Aoshen, a warrior and scholar of House Aoshen. He was sent into war alongside the rest of the Coalition, fighting in several engagements as well as infiltrating the human forces. To his surprise, his last cover operation was thwarted by magical human children, who ended up wiping out most of Doruva’s team. Despite being nearly killed by them, he was intrigued at the ingenuity and lack of ethics that the humans displayed, injecting Kaisoken dust into children of all people.

Doruva survived the war, and after the truce, he’ll return home… only for the Lords of Aoshen to tell him to go to a certain rebellion, and aid them with the blessing of the Confederacy behind him...

[Letter Bee]

This RP is still going strong after 8 months!

[Letter Bee]

Jade Kiyo and Samakama have either left or are on hiatus, meaning that more character slots are open!

[Th3King0fChaos]

So I have my spells for Tarak finally made:

1- 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.

2- 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.

3- 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.

4- 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.

5- 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.

@Letter Bee@Conscripts@The Jest

Gabriel Rivera-Aoshen

Gabriel Rivera

---

Name: Gabriel Asher Rivera-Aoshen
Age: 19
Physical Description:
Gabriel is a rather tall young man standing in at six feet flat in height. Gabriel is rather thin, with a wiry and lean build not unlike that of an athlete- or at least one used to running and regular physical exertion. While not the bursting at the seams with brawn, Gabriel is in good fighting shape, and his body is sinewy and lithe. His eyes are a bright, piercing green, and his hair is dyed white, contrasting his mocha skin. Large tattoos stretch across his body, lining his arm, chest, back and neck with a variety of designs, both human and Kanarusian in nature. A variety of scars also dot across various parts of his body, and his right arm has been replaced by a cybernetic replacement, covered with matte black armor plates.

---

Important items:

• Earring - A Cross shaped earring made of red jade. Utterly mundane, but a memento of his mother.
• Omni-tool - A Confederacy built omni-tool. Smart lenses worn on the eyes, and an earpiece allow Gabriel to utilize it hands free.
• Galactic Credits - 50,000 Galactic Credits. Not his, but an allowance provided by House Aoshen to pay for necessities: food, weapons, armor, repairs, housing and the like. Remaining balance is expected to be returned.
• Cybernetic Arm - An advanced cybernetic limb built by House Aoshen, many magnitudes stronger and more durable than a standard human arm of comparable size. The wrist and shoulder joints can rotate a full 360 degrees, and the armor plating can open up to reveal built in weapons. Modular, and the hand or entire arm can be removed for easy maintenance.
• Fiber-Optic Reflexes - A secondary cybernetic nervous system installed parallel to Asher's spine, when activated enhances Asher's already formidable reaction speed and spatial awareness, allowing him to essentially view his surroundings in slow motion. Automatically activates during moments of extreme duress, and has a rather harsh come-down effects.
• Second Fang Clothes - Humanoid clothing created by House Aoshen for their small clan of human servants. Nothing groundbreaking, but comfortable, durable, lightweight and utilitarian. The durable weave of these clothes don't make them bulletproof, but provide impact resistance from common hazards like falls and other minor scrapes.

Weapons and Armor:

• Second Fang Thermal Blade - A military grade combat blade built by House Aoshen. A plasma heated blade provides it with additional cutting power, allowing it to melt though hardened armor with relative ease. A hardened edge allows it to be used without the thermal edge. Well balanced, and light enough to be used in a single hand, but most effective with two.
• Equalizer Submachinegun - A plasma machine pistol made by House Aoshen for military use. Capable of semiautomatic and fully automatic firing modes. Compact enough to be held and fired in a single hand. Fitted with a laser sight and suppressor.
• Cybernetic Arm - A combat cybernetic built by House Aoshen, provides enhanced strength and speed, and armor plating allows it to resist small arms fire. Comes with attachment points for a variety of weapons that can be changed out as necessary. These weapons are powered by rechargeable/replaceable energy cells.
  • Kinetic Knuckles - Effectively a set of built in knuckle dusters, these tungsten plated knuckles provide a basic punch with an extra wallop.
  • Drakenbreath - Built into the base of the palm is a plasma powered flamethrower. Capable of reaching ranges up to 20 feet, the plasma cell allows for 20 seconds worth of fire. As a result, Gabriel often utilizes short half second bursts of flame to augment his melee combat.
  • High Tension Cable - Deploying from the bottom of the wrist, Gabriel can fire up to 50 feet of high strength cable, topped by a spiked grappling hook. While capable of causing physical harm, the cable is primarily meant for utility purposes.
  • Thermal Armblade - Deploying from the top of the wrist is a foot long armblade. A plasma heated blade increases its cutting power.
• Second Fang 'Felwyrm' Combat Armor - Confederacy built combat armor meant for humanoid infiltrators. Worn underneath outer clothing layers, the Felwyrm set features a protective combat vest, hardened facemask, armguards and greaves rated for limited amounts of small arms fire. Thrusters built into the boots provide enhanced speed, jump height and distance, but not flight capabilities. Masking technology built into the back hide the wearer from infrared detection, but doesn't provide visual concealment.
• Infiltration Kit - A small case containing a variety of gear necessary for infiltration. Inlcudes things like a set of binoculars, magnetic climbing gloves, small knife, flashlight, multitool, lockpicks, electronic lock spoofer, miniature plasma cutting torch, smoke bombs, ball bearings, twine, wire, zip ties, candy and a collapsible crowbar.

Spell List: - Gabriel is currently incapable of using magic, instead relying on a combination of technology and his own personal abilities to keep up.

Character Traits:

• Second Fang of House Aoshen - A prestigious title given to the certain human servants of House Aoshen. Through rigorous training to impart combat prowess, steel discipline and resourcefulness, the Second Fangs serve as personal bodyguards to the members of House Aoshen. Gabriel specializes in close quarters combat, and is adept in both a melee and point shooting at close ranges.
• Kinesthetic Adept - Gabriel possesses a sense a spatial awareness, depth awareness and reaction time well above that of an average human.
• Infiltrator - Quick, deft, and good at getting into places he's not supposed to be, Gabriel is talented scout and saboteur.
• Strong RBF - Despite his resting scowl, Gabriel is about as well meaning and warm as they come. Somewhat reserved and a bit of a wallflower when dealing with others, Gabriel is rather soft spoken and isn't used to interacting with those outside of House Aoshen. Although quiet, Gabriel is neither meek nor timid, and holds a fierce loyalty to House Aoshen.

Short Bio:

Vera Village & Second Fang Origins

Before Gabriel was born, his people came from a group of family run merchant vessels. A part of a small fleet of family run trade ships, these merchant vessels were part trader, part nomad, and generations of traders and travelers were born and died on these ships. Gabriel probably would've grown up to be a trader like his parents, trading goods between Ascendancy and Alien worlds, as a subsidiary to one of the Windsor Autonomous Fleets many trading companies.

However, not everything was meant to last, and the small trading fleet were attacked by a group of pirates, eager to plunder what was more or less a helpless convoy of ships far from any Ascendancy defenders. After a short fight, resulting in the loss of a third of the fleet's ships, the nomad traders fled, crash warping in various directions to avoid capture and destruction.

The several of the trading fleet's ships were ejected into what is now known as Kanarusii space, chased after by several pirate ships. With their ships crippled and unarmed, the pirates swooped in for the take, but were thwarted by the appearance of Kanarusii defenders from House Aoshen, who quickly destroyed the attacking pirates. With their ships effectively dead in space, and with no real idea where they were, the remaining survivors of the trade fleet were effectively doomed. Seeing their current predicament, with much reluctance and grumbling from several, the Kanarusii of House Aoshen brought the survivors to one of the more secluded colonies along the edge of Kanarusii space.

Closely watched and supervised by the Kanarusii, the survivors of the trading fleet formed the small village of 'Vera', named after one of the surviving ships and effectively became indentured servants of House Aoshen. While there were some growing pains, the human residents of Vera were eventually integrated into House Aoshen, their small size and ability to learn and use technology proving convenient to perform work the Kanarusii couldn't as easily do due to their larger size. The citizens of Vera also served as a jumping point for the Kanarusii to begin their infiltration of human societies.

As their service to the Kanarusii of House Aoshen continued, several humans were picked out for their physical abilities and temperament, and were trained and forged into the Second Fangs, an elite warrior caste of humans dedicated to serving and protecting the interests of House Aoshen above all else. To be chosen to join the ranks of the Second Fangs is considered an honor in the village of Vera, and it has become tradition for every child upon turning 10 to be presented to a representative of House Aoshen for consideration. Those that are selected undergo vigorous training to impart physical strength, spiritual and mental discipline.

Gabriel was born in the village of Vera, a small, but technologically advanced farming community on the edges of Kanarusii territory. A second generation child born in the village, Gabriel didn't have any direct memory of how Vera came to be, but grew up on stories and tales of the dragonlike Kanarusii and how they rescued the people of Vera from sure destruction. Gabriel's childhood was simple and safe- if a bit boring, and spent most of his younger years running around with other children, and watching the occasional Kanarusii visit their village.

When Gabriel turned 10, he was one of the few children from the village selected to become a Second Fang. The Kanarusii of House Aoshen took Gabriel and a few other children to a world closer to the core of Kanarusii space, where they underwent training for the next several years, with a week every other month provided to return home to rest and visit family. While never the strongest or the fastest among his training group, Gabriel made a name for himself as one of the most resourceful candidates.

When the war with the Ascendancy started, and House Salakar was wiped out, Gabriel was shocked, and amongst one of the first to renounce his humanity and begged for a chance to fight back. However, since he was still young and in training, he was denied as the first Kanarusii war parties set out. Steeling his resolve, Gabriel put his all into training, and quickly caught the eye of several House Aoshen trainers. When a training accident more or less rendered his right arm useless, several members of House Aoshen sponsored his treatment and replaced his arm with an advanced cybernetic as a reward for his dedication to their cause.

The war ended before Gabriel had a chance to fight- just after he completed his training. The horrors of what the Ascendancy had done were appalling, and only served to vindicate his anger. All was not lost however, Gabriel's chance would come as the Lords of Aoshen hand picked him and a select few others to join a certain rebellion. Tasked with protecting the members and interests of House Aoshen, Gabriel left home, ready to prove that the trust given to him was not misplaced.

@The Jest @Conscripts Here she is, finally done and posted!

Melinae Vandris

^{Image Credit: dashinvaine}

Name: Melinae Vandris

Age: 36

-------------------------

Important items:

• Group Photo - A photo of a group of young children, between 8 and 14. The back has the names of the children written on it, including Melinae and Alexander.
• Diplomatic Bioware Suite - This Biotechnic suite is actually a number of different implants meant to enhance the diplomats abilities beyond that of an unaugmented human, primarily the Mental Reactive Shield and Silver Tongue implants.
• Omni-Tool - Her omni-tool is a diplomatic model, which primarily boils down to a few extra switches and ports, and strong encryption and security software. It otherwise functions as a normal omni-tool.
• $$$ - 120,000 Credits that she appropriated from the discretionary fund when she went rogue.

Weapons:

• Holdout Pistol w/ Concealed Holster - A small laser pistol meant to give diplomats and other dignitaries a measure of protection and peace of mind when going into dangerous areas. More than once, these pistols have given would-be assassins and kidnappers a nasty surprise.
• Diplomatic Corps Protective Uniform - This fancy, protective formalwear is provided to all Ascendancy diplomats to help protect them from surprise attacks, and to keep them alive long enough to reach safety in the event of a firefight or similar event. The control circuitry is mounted within the outfit, at the small of the back.

Character Traits:

• Mental Reactive Shield - A small biotech implantable device that attaches at the base of the brainstem and connects to a series of emitters implanted along the skull, the MRS deploys a magic-interrupting shield that counteracts any mental magic affecting the users brain on an automatic trigger. When triggered by any magic affecting the owners brain, the device activates the emitters, interrupting the magical effects but also disabling any other biotech enhancements the user has unless they are properly shielded, although due expense only biotech that is essential to life is ever shielded. This implant has a code switch that the user can use to deactivate the device, involving an 8-digit randomized alphanumeric code that they must mentally repeat 3 times. This is not common knowledge outside of the Diplomatic Corps and their superiors.
• Silver Tongue - This implant is actually a set of small implants throughout the body that works as one concerted whole. It includes a language library carrying the most common languages she might encounter, alongside a pheromone generator designed to enhance trust in the user and a modification to her vocal cords that cause her voice to have subsonic elements that can be used to invoke a variety of emotions or feelings. The pheromones are light but passive, and the subsonic elements are only active when she can focus on them, and they can falter discordantly if concentration is broken.
• Socialite - Melinae grew up among the upper crust of the Ascendancy, and spent her entire life navigating its social circles. This has lead her to be very skilled in social situations, and at reading the subtleties of a persons tone, inflection, facial expressions and body language.
• Diplomat - Through her training, and her experience working on the Treaty that ended the war, Melinae is skilled at negotiations and contracts, and at convincing people to think like her or do what she wants them too.

-------------------------

Short Bio: Melinae was born into an upper-class family on Earth in the year 2440, and grew up learning the ins and outs of the political and social battlefield. Especially, though, she grew up empathetic. This showed itself throughout her life, helping her make more friends than enemies, and helping her to befriend those who were difficult to reach. This, in fact, led to her being close to a young child by the name of Alexander, a rare genius who was two years younger than her, but 20 years smarter. She was 8 at the time, and on the older side of their small group of friends, but they bonded quick and hard, and when her parents sent Melinae to a boarding school at the age of 12, they stayed in touch, and kept their friendship going even after he joined the Grand Military Academy. At the boarding school, she improved and refined her social and political prowess, and as she neared graduation she decided to pursue her degree and enter the diplomatic corps of the Ascendancy of Man.

After working her way to being a full Diplomat, she was sent as one of the Ascendancys representatives to the Rau've Empire at the age of 25. However, unbeknownst to her, her time spent there spelled the beginning of the end of her loyalty to the Ascendancy. In this time, she earned the trust and respect of both her superiors, and the Rau've she and the rest of the team interacted with. Almost 5 years later, when the Ascendancy attacked the Alien Coalition, Melinae decided to stay on the Rau've Capitol Planet, relocating with the government when the planet was bombarded, to "try and pave the way for peace, if the Ascendancy comes to its senses before destroying itself." By this time, she had already been disillusioned, but wanted to try and save as many innocent human lives as possible by speaking to the Rau've on the citizens behalf. This gambit seems to have paid off, as after the Battle of Proxima she works closely with Alexander Kherol on the Treaty of Proxima, ending the war.

This close contact also put her in a position where she couldn't not find out the secret of the Star Marines, how they were made and treated. With this knowledge cementing her views on the Ascendancy government, and the President for Life in particular, she made up her mind. After sending a final letter to Kherol, she vanished into Rau've society, defecting to the freshly formed Moonstrike.

Jocelyn's Appearance

Jocelyn used to have long hair, which got in the way much of the time. Her hair length was comparable to her mother’s in how unruly it was. She tamed her hair by cutting it shorter and has looked much happier with the size. Only because it is for a reason, her hair gets thinner for the longer it gets. She has to use a specific type of conditioner to revitalize the hair strands on a microscopic level. Her hair usually smells of Lilacs and Buttercups, with a hint of vanilla. Also, there is an air of knowing what to do even if no one else wants to do it; it is why she parties and enjoys life while she can.

Jocelyn wears the Christian cross on her neck, but it keeps up appearances around her parents. In actuality, this Christian Cross transforms into a mysterious religious symbol that has no such history anywhere on Earth. She worships the religion’s symbol because its beliefs coincide with hers. Also, Jocelyn does hear whispers coming from it. Prophecies answer only a select few individuals who wish to follow our will and guide them. As an Emissary of this religion, she wears the Emissary of Precipice Dress specifically for her position in the faith or what she believes is her position from the words of her religious symbol.

Jocelyn wears many different outfits, but the specific one she wears while flying her Space Superiority Interceptor is the X83J-VIEL Pilot Uniform. She wears the standard-issue dress uniform of the Ascendancy of Man’s Military as a Space Superiority Interceptor Pilot. It seems weird, but Jocelyn’s much more comfortable in dresses, or her uniform does have the body language of someone that doesn’t mind anyone as long as they dance with her. Jocelyn is gorgeous and uses de-aging biotech upgrades and Rejuvenating Beauty Biotech to keep her looking like she’s in her early twenties instead of her early thirties.

Jocelyn is one of those types of women that would, in all honesty, chat the light away with anyone that wants to listen, but she does have a specific go-getter attitude. She never shies away from what she looks like but can complement very well. Her commitment to herself is highly in there, and she would love to settle down one day, but today isn’t that day. Jocelyn has a beautiful lovely voice when singing and other such things. Her body language isn’t too fussed at compliments from other women or men, and she quite easily swings both ways.

It’s a bit strange when her sleepwear is conservative and doesn’t show off what she can do or looks like in it. Jocelyn is a unique individual that would instead deal with the dynamics of the day over the night. She talks with children much since she would rather see their day instead of any trauma they feel. However, most of the traumatized children had their families ripped apart by the cruelty of the 11th Fleet.

Her accent is a mix of Italian, West Coast American, and East European. It is hard to pinpoint where exactly her family lived on Earth since they have homes in all the cities on Earth.

Space Superiority Interceptor

Drakkal ‘Auger’ X07E-GUST (Space Superiority Interceptor)

Space Superiority Interceptor Picture

Jocelyn’s Space Superiority Interceptor is the experimental Drakkal Aerospace Engineering Core created for the Ascendency. It makes the other fighter projects created by the TLI Research Institute and the Hadley In-Vector Corporation fail compared to the Auger. Auger can switch out four configurations for different tasks or goals of the pilot or who asked. Alpha is its base configuration since it is the most well-rounded for its primary role as a Space Superiority Interceptor. In terms, all of the Configurations share the vertical takeoff and landing system, capability to shift into a Planetary Superiority Interceptor on a dime. Also, it is equipped with an experimental Interceptor-sized space warper called the X07E-GUST, which boasts better performance than a frigate or cruiser-sized space warper.

Auger is equipped with a stealth system that makes it look like it’s disappearing and reappearing on the radar every few seconds. As if it is skipping through space, but the Drakkal Aerospace Engineering Core didn’t create stealth technology to cloak their Interceptors or other fighters. It’s based on a coat of silverish paint on the hull of the Interceptor that deflects radar markings. The Engineering Core that built the Space Superiority Interceptor has its symbol on one of the wings, with Jocelyn’s Markings underneath the name of her Interceptor. Also, it can be remote-controlled by Jocelyn’s Omnitool. Auger has an extra storage bay to put clothes, personal weapons, and other such things. Some portions of this storage bay allow her to keep food fresher if it stays on its cold side.

There are two ways for the Auger to change its configurations by the pilot inside the Interceptor or outside. Inside there is a switch to change configurations from Alpha to Zeta Configuration. Outside, Jocelyn requires the use of the Drakkal X93E-Gamma Omnitool to change the layout.

Armament Configurations

Alpha Armament Configuration (First Configuration)

Drakkal Auger X07E-GUST Space Superiority Interceptor’s First Configuration goes through the armaments equipped on it. The weapon systems on the first configuration are two triple wing-mounted laser cannons and two dual gun nose-mounted 45mm Coilguns. Also, as a mixed missile armament of heat seekers and radar-guided missiles, up to six total.

Beta Armament Configuration (Second Configuration)

Drakkal Auger X07E-GUST Space Superiority Interceptor’s Second Configuration goes through the armaments equipped on it. The weapon systems on the second configuration are two twin wing-mounted plasma cannons and two twin cannon nose-mounted 30mm Laser Cannons. Also, it has a mixed missile armament of two rocket pods and radar-guided missiles, up to six in total. Including a single undercarriage anti-capital ship torpedo launcher that carries up to two torpedoes but can only fire one at a time.

Gamma Armament Configuration (Third Configuration)

Drakkal Auger X07E-GUST Space Superiority Interceptor’s Third Configuration goes through the armaments equipped on it. The weapon systems on the third configuration are four single wing-mounted 50mm Coilguns and a singular nose-mounted quad cannon 40mm Plasma Cannon. Also, it has added two plasma 30mm gun pods and two laser 30mm gun pods. It includes a single undercarriage long-ranged drone to detect ships from a long distance properly.

Zeta Armament Configuration (Fourth Configuration)

Drakkal Auger X07E-GUST Space Superiority Interceptor’s Fourth Configuration goes through the armaments equipped on it. The weapon systems on the fourth configuration are two twin quad wing-mounted 30mm Coilguns and a singular nose-mounted triple 30mm Laser Cannon. It also has additional fuel storage for long flights and two heat-seeking missiles. It includes a single undercarriage laser pointer to paint targets for larger ships to target smaller ones.

Weapons

Precipice Life Seed Katana

The Life Katana’s Picture

A prophecy ties to creating the Precipice Life Seed Katana, forged near a garden hymning and rain falling everywhere connected to the beauty of life. It is a magic sword because it has a symbol that glows lightish blue to lightish green because of its raindrops logo on its blade. The two magic schools it uses are World and Change Magic, specifically supporting and healing Jocelyn. It is a cursed blade, which much always be dual-wielded with its sister blade, the Precipice Hell Seed Katana. Before it was a Katana, it was in the shape of a Western-Styled European Blade, which shapeshifted itself into what it is now is. It copied a single ability from any known Katana weapon when both sibling blades are out, which Jocelyn saw in action. Life & Hell Seed Katanas copied the Diffuser Sword's Diffuser Field with its ability to create a frontal cone shield and lessened damage from any laser-type weapon. Also, the Precipice Life Seed Katana is lighter to wield only because of its specialized construction.

The Katana's magic only wields two magic spells tied to the two magic schools. It is a sentient blade, but the Life Seed Katana wishes to keep Jocelyn whole.

Precipice Hell Seed Katana

The Hell Katana’s Picture

A prophecy ties to creating the Precipice Hell Seed Katana, forged in a dark ritual connected to many demonic entities. It is a magic sword with runic symbols that glow demonically because the runes spell out a demon on its blade. The High and World Magics it wields are specifically aimed only to be offensive. It is a cursed blade, which must always be dual-wielded with its sister blade, the Precipice Life Seed Katana. Before it was a Katana, it was in the shape of a Western European Blade, which shapeshifted itself into what it is now is. It copied a single ability from any known Katana weapon when both sibling blades are out, which Jocelyn saw in action. Hell & Life Seed Katanas copied the Diffuser Sword's Diffuser Field with its ability to create a frontal cone shield and lessened damage from any laser-type weapon. Also, the Precipice Hell Seed Katana is heavier to wield only because of its differing construction to its sibling weapon.

The Katana's magic only wields two magic spells tied to the two magic schools. It is a sentient blade, but the Hell Seed Katana wishes to keep Jocelyn alive.

The Sibling Katanas of Hell & Life Seed

These two blades are pseudo-related to the Kaiosken only which, is the primary reason they can use magic and be sentient too.

Calvin & Debra, the Dual Charged Laser Pistols

Calvin & Debra’s Pictures - Dual Charged Laser Pistols

Calvin and Debra used to be called Calhoun & Deidre and owned by the renowned Dual-Wield Weapon Specialist Estelle D. Windfall. Jocelyn honored these two weapons by calling them Calvin and Debra and altering their appearance. Debra is customized differently to Calvin in its pleasing aesthetic violet in color and musical notes with the name of the gun placed on the barrel. In contrast, Calvin is painted green with vines and flower imagery with the gun’s name similarly placed on the barrel. Both pistol’s mechanisms allow it to be charged up to three levels from a non-charged laser pulse. These pistols require a cooldown time of anywhere three minutes or three hours between each charged laser burst.

These laser-charged shot levels cause detrimental effects towards people hit by them since the laser beam is more significant in size. In some cases, at three, the final set level is determined to kill another human by disintegration, but Jocelyn only uses the 3rd charged shot as a last resort. Jocelyn uses the first two authorized shot levels are usually used to stun or incapacitate an opponent without killing them for a few minutes up to thirty minutes.

Biotech

Eye Improvement Biotech

Jocelyn has this biotech upgrade to have perfect 20/20 vision without needing to wear glasses. Before getting this biotech upgrade for her eyes, she must wear glasses or contact lenses to read books and see far away. Also, it can alter her eye color to any color within a particular set spectrum of color, which is the opposite of her natural eye color of sky blue.

Rejuvenating Beauty Biotech

Jocelyn got this biotech upgrade to make her look ten years younger, only because a woman from a wealthy family in the homeworld of the Ascendancy needs to look her best. Also, it revitalizes her skin to be staying silky smooth and removes scars from her heart surgery.

Heart Improvement & Strengthening Biotech

At a young age, Jocelyn was one of those children who frequently was ill and sick, primarily because of her weak heart. Until her parents hired a biotech researcher to give her a new lease on life to do many activities previously, she couldn’t do. It strengthened and improved her heart to be able without getting a cybernetic heart. Therefore, the procedure required surgery to help her heart by adding another synthetic heart valve to her existing heart to help her with blood pumping. Also, there were many other synthetic biotech upgrades to her heart, so she doesn’t feel weak or ill. The combination of this and her other two biotech upgrades helped her become an Ace Interceptor Pilot.

Other Section

Drakkal X93E-Gamma Omnitool

The Drakkal X93E-Gamma Omnitool is a specialized omnitool for the capabilities of controlling the Drakkal X07E-GUST Space Superiority Interceptor remotely. It has everything on the Drakkal X07E-GUST Space Superiority Interceptor and the Drakkal X83J-VIEL Interceptor Pilot Uniform faculty. In terms, it can do diagnostics and other essential things on the Space Superiority Interceptor. Jocelyn can do repairs anywhere following the instructions from the Omnitool. The Drakkal Aerospace Engineer Core within a subset of the Drakkal Series of Space Superiority Interceptors deployment to the frontlines of war, before Ascendancy lost.

Jocelyn can contact the creator of the Drakkal X93E-Gamma, Drakkal X83J-VIEL, and Drakkal X07E-GUST, which is the Drakkal Aerospace Engineer Core that was relocated to a different sector of space in the Ascendancy. They were tasked to deploy a more multi-role type fighter over a specialized Interceptor. The Head Engineer is named Victoria D. Steele of a prominent family that knows Jocelyn’s family who lives on Earth. It is one of the fundamental reasons she joined the pilot core in the Ascendancy of Man. She learned of Victoria D. Steele’s creation of a Space Superiority Interceptor, which would revolutionize warfare. It did, but not many of the Grand Fleets used Fighters, Bombers, or Interceptors minus the 1st Fleet underneath Alexander Kherol.

Her Callsign is Thunder since she’s the only one to pass all the rigorous tests to be a pilot of her friend’s unique designed Space Superiority Interceptor. She even got to the rank of Captain in the Space Forces, only flying a Space Superiority Interceptor. Also, Jocelyn never wanted to fly in anything but an Interceptor commanding a squadron of them to intercept hostile forces. Her view was narrow, but she was great at what she was doing.

The Drakkal Feature Set

The Drakkal X93E-Gamma Omnitool feature set makes it top-of-the-line work based around the Military Structure of the Ascendancy. It has a Symbol of the Drakkal Aerospace Engineering Core in the background, which resembles her birthmark. Branded Features, communication, calculation, and augmented reality navigation with six subset features within. These six subset features are entwined with the user of the Omnitool with navigation to music and religion and set the quality of looking up her combat military data. Jocelyn has access to many recreational games, including chess and checkers but so much more.

There is a database of locations of importance to certain set people, Mars, Draken’vina, Earth, etc. All these worlds have one thing in common, they have traces of On the Precipice Religion, but her access to meet Nikolas, but he retired and is now living on his planet dealing with those Wyverns. Jocelyn is a bit frustrated with Nikolas, but he was one of the first people to notice. She’s from one of those families living on Earth and wondered why she hasn’t returned to her family yet. She told him to mind his own business since she knows his secrets and why he hides them. It caused him to shut up and leave her alone.

Jocelyn doesn’t care if you are a self-righteous honorable guy one minute and the next. You become a vindictive bastard wanting revenge on those who hurt you. She looked up to Nikolas R. Zahrin felt betrayed in learning what she learned on her tour of duty. Nikolas had a chip on his shoulder, and Jocelyn learned the truth of that chip. She only works for herself and is a free agent, to be hired by anyone with a pension to satisfy her needs of piloting her Interceptor.

Galactic Credits

Jocelyn is an heiress to the Rithsworn Family and was an Interceptor Pilot for the Ascendancy. She has 600,000 Galactic Credits, which are split between 300,000 on her and the rest is digital. Her net worth is still nothing compared to the Hadley Family and the Corporate Families on Mars or Earth.

Precipice Prophecy Guidance Religious Symbol

The Precipice Prophecy Guidance Religious Symbol is hidden as a Christian Cross when in the area of others. As an Emissary, when alone with the symbol, Jocelyn sees its proper form of a multitude of geometric third-dimensional shapes, which has a see-through material to see people whose prophecies have touched their lineage. On the Precipice Religion wants to guide these Prophets to Eternal Happiness. However, this guidance is more about alternating the most egregious prophecies out of their texts and turning them to good omens, portents based on birthmarks. It does glow a spectacular purplish silver color when it is near or can sense the presence of a prophet's lineage that rejected it with retaliation or retribution type of action against it or an Emissary. It has kept its secrets from Jocelyn of the reasons for it glowing on the Dragon's Claw during the Ascendancy-Coalition War.

In the center of the multitude of geometric third-dimensional shapes, have a double image of some sort. The first image of this double image is one of the people who have rejected its goals to gain more followers or emissaries. Its second image is far darker since it embodies the Emissary's greatest fears, by which it keeps Jocelyn and all the other Emissaries it retained throughout the ages loyal. As such, it brainwashes them to keep part of their original downtrodden personality intact, if they were morbid or dark or both by flaring their nature by any outside force like loss of a friend, etc. The only way the Emissary can realize they are being brainwashed is by taking it off. It urges you to keep the necklace on so it can keep you loyal to it.

Also, it makes the Emissary want to get the two artifact weapons, which will protect the Emissary from dying. Prophecies surround these two weapons, but they are pseudo-related to the Kaiosken as super-long distant cousins to the Kaiosken. These weapons are sentient and have abilities that will protect the Emissary of the OTP Religion. Also, there are shapes on either side of the Symbol as a Christian Cross or its real form, which symbolize demonic wings and raindrops, symbolizing the rebirth of life.

As such, there is a single message that the symbol tells to its Emissary, Jocelyn. It does have mixed words to give it a darker feel to signify its hold over her. This feels like two voices talking, but its more brainwashing-focused voice is its true voice. While it permeates the lie that the Emissaries are supposed to guide prophets, Jocelyn or none of the previous Emissaries knew this. Obey me, Emissary. May you help others to interpret their prophecies for our religion to grow. Your weaknesses significantly increase my hold over you, Emissary. Joining our faith could have stopped or avoided atrocities if those prophets listened to our Emissary's Words and not kept to their beliefs. That prideful fool destroyed his own family and gave in to a self-filling prophecy of his own making. I wish I could have brainwashed and distorted that child I sensed on the Dragon's Claw. Our Emissary will guide you correctly so you may not misinterpret them.

Drakkal X83J-VIEL Interceptor Pilot Uniform

The Drakkal X83J-VIEL Interceptor Pilot Uniform is specifically for the Space Superiority Interceptor X07E-GUST Pilots. This uniform is skin tight, but it tracks her vital systems and adjusts for increasing G-Forces in Dogfight conditions. Her helmet has many features that make ground-based combatants blush at how insanely prototyped it is. The tracking software of the Space Superiority Interceptor Fighter requires the helmet to keep up with the micro fractional calculations and other such things. Also, it helps Jocelyn track up to six starships at once and which ones are hostile and others that aren’t. She uses her judgment to ensure she doesn’t engage or destroy civilian targets unless they show aggressive action towards her. Another thing about these pilot uniforms is that they can change colors to the pilot’s mood to see if they need to be reevaluated for mental trauma. Jocelyn is the only one of these pilots that didn’t need any reevaluation.

The Tellius Raptor Squadron Photo

The Tellius Raptors was the Squadron’s Name that Jocelyn commanded during the Ascendancy-Coalition War. It was an Ace Squadron with Ace Pilots, but Jocelyn was the only one flying the Drakkal Auger X07E-GUST Space Superiority Interceptor. Her squadron only supported Fleets 1 - 10 and The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. It is next to her medal of valor and excellence.

The Photo Album

There are many prominent figures in Jocelyn’s life that she admired, incredibly loyal or friends with them all. These were the people responsible for her rise to becoming an ace pilot. Victoria D. Steele, who ran the Drakkal Aerospace Engineering Core, was her first friend. Afterward, her friends grew and grew, including Alexander Kherol, the Grand Admiral of the 1st Fleet. Many others have shaped her into who she is, but she never forgets them no matter how far she is from them. Carver E. Willow will miss her heart since he helped her in many ways over how usual people respect others. He taught her the ropes, and he was honestly a kind and gentle soul that died before the final acts of the Ascendancy-Coalition War. His sister is still alive and carries on his legacy in the 1st Fleet as the Jealous Joker’s communication officer.

Jocelyn admired Nikolas R. Zahrin and his Fleet because of his honor code and lack of discrimination against where you were born or your position in the Ascendancy’s Hierarchy. Also, Jocelyn did duel Nikolas R. Zahrin in a one-on-one duel with her dual-weapon specialty to the master of his sword and lost. However, Nikolas had a chip on his shoulder. Jocelyn learned the real reason why he had that chip on his shoulder and the actual perspective on the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet. Jocelyn’s album holds other people’s faces that she met on Earth or otherwise, which would include Alexander’s second-in-command Kotaro Winterborn.

Spell List:

Precipice Katana’s Spell List

Precipice Life Seed Magic

Rejuvenation Healing (Change):

As a Rejuvenation Healing spell, it heals only Jocelyn as long as she holds the Precipice Life Seed Katana. Two hours before the Precipice Hell Seed Katana takes from Jocelyn's Lifeforce, she returns to a state previously. Precipice Life Seed Katana will slowly revert Jocelyn's injuries by combat by taking around up to thirty seconds.

Gravitic Arc Slash (World):

This spell affects the Gravity of anyone in a 30-degree arc when Jocelyn slashes the Precipice Life Seed Katana. It has segmented effects; the first effect can increase Gravity by 1.2X Earth's Gravity in a 10-ft radius within the arc, or decrease it by 1.2X Earth's Gravity in a 10-ft radius within the arc, or outright disable Gravity in a 10-ft radius by 15-ft high within the slash's arc. The Gravitic Slash's effects only last up to thirty minutes. Gravity's increase does harm people's bone structure lightly. Also, you can see the Gravitic Arc Slash as a blackish silver energy wave that travels in the sword slash's arc radius.

Precipice Hell Seed Magic

Magical Absorption (High):

Precipice Hell Seed Katana uses Magical Absorption to regain its magical energy. It absorbs magic from three sources involving Jocelyn, where she stands, the air she breathes, and her life force. Lifeforce taken from Jocelyn causes her to become Lightheaded, feel weak, and require a good night's sleep. It cannot kill Jocelyn by taking her Lifeforce. Also, it requires Jocelyn to hold and wield the Precipice Hell Seed Katana for her lifeforce or magical energies to be gathered.

Flame Decimation Slash (World):

The Katana's Blade is covered in hot flames, but it doesn't seem to affect Jocelyn as much. Jocelyn can wield the weapon with only feeling the soothing heat coming off the edge. Releasing the Hot Flames in the form of a sword wave slash requires an upward slash, and it will travel up to 15-ft. It can cause charred ground. Some iron and steel metallic objects will be hot to the touch. Anyone hit by this weapon's magic will have 1st Degree Burns to 2nd Degree Burns, but it's easily dodgeable since it only goes in a straight line.

Personality:
Jocelyn has a darker morbid personality, but it flares up from time to time. Only it's when she feels vulnerable such as losing someone she cares for or otherwise. Other than that, she has a quite adjusted personality that is friendly and outright hopeful for the future. Jocelyn didn't have much hope in her system when Jocelyn was younger because most doctors had biased attitudes towards her family. It did help that she gained a religious symbol that told her to keep to hope rather than despair but look to it for guidance in this cruel world of reality. Jocelyn became the Emissary for the On the Precipice Religion, which is ancient and has no clear distinctive origin point near the Sol System. It looks like a Christian Cross, but in reality, it's something more based on prophecies.

Jocelyn wants to spread this faith by any means necessary and wants to make friends and people she would respect, be loyal to, and admire. She isn't a stereotypical woman born on Earth, but Jocelyn is in the minority of Coreworlders. The norm would be hating on where you were born or if you weren't rich or using Cybernetics; Jocelyn doesn't discriminate. It was because her experiences shaped her. She speaks heartwarmingly to the people she has met and misses after they perished in the Ascendancy-Coalition War. Jocelyn is quite happy when the only family that is well hated was wiped out, and she cheered, which was the Jensen Family. She had the displeasure of meeting Berkeley R. Jensen, and his sister was quite fond of butchering civilians, and that family was a stain on the Ascendancy.

All the people she admires are loyal to or respects are in a photo album of hers since it positively affects her life. Jocelyn wouldn't have become one of the top Ace Pilots in the Ascendancy-Coalition War without them all. She fondly remembers Carver E. Willow and is emotional since he affected her the most on the anniversary day of his death. Carver kept pushing her to become great and gave friendly advice to her. Jocelyn does drink on that day but drinks alone only. It would be better not to involve anyone else in her drinking and emotionally affected lifestyle.

Character Traits:
Dual Wielding Weapon Specialist (Katanas & Laser Pistols): Some of the best dual-wielding specialists trained Jocelyn for swords and any form of small arms like pistols. Only It’s because she only has two Katanas and two Laser Pistols in particular. In a sword fight, Jocelyn won’t beat the masters in the art of single sword combat, like Nikolas R. Zahrin and Kotaro Winterborn. After all, Jocelyn challenged Nikolas and Kotaro at different times in the Ascendancy-Coalition War for a friendly duel and lost to them quickly. They were masters in their swordsmanship talents with their devastating swords, the Paragon for Kotaro and the Diffuser Sword for Nikolas.

Ace Interceptor Pilot: Jocelyn is an Ace Pilot underneath the callsign of Thunder. She flies her Space Superiority Interceptor incredibly well. In the Ascendancy-Coalition War, she shot down about up to two thousand enemy fighter pilots and destroyed three frigate-class starships and a single cruiser-class starship. She got the Excellency Medal and the Medal of Valor for her incredible service record. Her aptitude for flying the Space Superiority Interceptor was short of amazing. Jocelyn reached Ace Status in only one-hundred squadron missions; she ended her military career as a Squadron Captain of the Tellius Raptors. The Tellius Raptors was one of those Squadrons you didn’t fuck with since their fierce reputation to help out any fleet in need, excluding the 11th Fleet underneath Berkeley.

Sociable: Jocelyn gives everyone a chance to be themselves around her, no matter if she is a part of high society. She doesn’t even show any disdain or hatred towards Frontier-Born people. Only it’s because it’s better to be friendly and be there for them as a helpful and caring person.

The Emissary of Precipice: Jocelyn is a religious emissary for the On the Precipice Religion. She wants to spread and find the origin point since Jocelyn feels that she’s the only one spreading the faith. It is how she was able to do so much in so little time. As a 33-year-old woman, religion was guiding her to help those who have prophecies among the stars.

Short Bio:

Jocelyn’s Childhood life

Jocelyn was born on July 6, 2443, to Joshua and Marsha in the Rithsworn Family. The Rithsworn Family was one of those families eccentric with ideas of religion mixed with music in their lives. Marsha was excited to have a daughter and an heiress to their lifestyle. They learned quickly, Jocelyn had congenital disabilities, which were a weak heart and was born sickly. Jocelyn couldn’t handle vigorous activities as a child, unlike all the other children, and couldn’t even make friends in this state of mind. Also, they all learned that Jocelyn wouldn’t be able to live until her 9th Birthday, but because of this lack of hope in their family, Joshua and Marsha tried everything to keep their daughter happy. Therefore, when Joshua walked into his daughter’s room with a Christian Cross and gave it to her to help her relax and pray for something better or have hope.

When her father left her room, the Religious symbol unfurled itself, showing itself as an unknown religion by calling itself, On the Precipice. Jocelyn heard its words of hope by telling her not to give up and told her there would be a miracle for her religion’s newest generation of Emissary. A Miracle will occur in her future, where she'll be given a second chance in life since most biased medical professionals want her to lose all hope and despair waiting for her death. She doesn't have to despair any longer but looks to the future. All Jocelyn wants to do in her future is become an Ace Interceptor Pilot and make friends along with her journey. It also caused two different wings to appear on the necklace: an angelic wing and a demonic wing. It told Jocelyn to find the Precipice’s Artifact Weapons, the Life Seed and Hell Seed Weapons. Those two weapons pick many forms, and whoever you admire will be the form of the melee weapon in question. However, she didn’t have anyone she admired at this point because she was On the Precipice.

When Jocelyn turned six years old, her family asked for the best biotech researcher, who they got was Johan E. Steele, or Dr. Biotech has his nickname. Joshua and Marsha were grateful for Johan E. Steele’s acceptance of their problem with how bad their daughter was feeling. Jocelyn wanted nothing more than to die three years later. Also, they know of other doctors’ biases against their family, but Johan didn’t have that. Therefore, her parents put Johan to work to fix her congenital disabilities by using his breakthrough surgery on Jocelyn. They wanted to help Jocelyn to get a new lease on life. When the surgery finished, Johan was happy to give the good news to the Rithsworn family, which was that the surgery was successful. Jocelyn means everything to her parents because she’s the only child they have.

Johan came back a week later to give Jocelyn tests instead of going to those biased doctors against the Rithsworn family. Also, Jocelyn met Johan’s daughter Victoria who came to the Rithsworn home. The Rithsworn Family paid well for Johan’s services and asked him if they could give Jocelyn better eyesight by a biotech upgrade. After seeing how much better Jocelyn was feeling, he accepted the task and asked if she wanted a better vision. She wanted better eyesight since it was a good idea for what she wanted to do in the future. Her parents had no idea what she wanted to do since they cared too much about protecting her and their lifestyle.

Jocelyn did meet some new friends besides Victoria when she was older, Alexander and a few others, and they did take a picture. However, she usually was told to go back home before being allowed anywhere by her parents.

Jocelyn's Adulthood

Jocelyn also did leave her parent's home unannounced since her parent's beliefs were weak and the only feeling she had was to fight for her beliefs. She did this when she was 18 years of age, but she did get a great education otherwise in anything she wanted. It does help she has a similar singing voice to her mother, Marsha.

Jocelyn’s most substantial achievement was being the only one that passed the trials for the Drakkal Aerospace Engineering Core’s Experimental Space Superiority Interceptor. She went into the flight school and met some exciting people, like Carver E. Willow, the flight instructor and Ace Pilot of the Jealous Jokers. Her career path in the military would be fighting with her Space Superiority Interceptor the Augur. Jocelyn was a fast learner and never showed any signs of slowing down. It took her to create the Tellius Raptors as a Squadron Captain during the war. However, her flight instructor, before the war, died in the Ascendancy-Coalition War.

She gained an understanding from Estelle D. Windfall and other Dual-Wield Specialists to wield her specific skill set since she bought two specific artifact weapons that morphed into Katana. These Katana cannot be wielded singly and must be wielded in a dual-wield stance. Also, Estelle did give her favorite pistols to her star pupil, who was outright excellent in how much she learned in a short time. It feels like that Jocelyn would be an awesome Ace Pilot.

The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet and Alexander Kherol’s 1st Fleet, the latter was the Fleet she was assigned to as a Pilot in the Ascendancy-Coalition War. The Dragon’s Brigade Fleet was how different it was from the other fleets and honor-bound. However, there was something wrong with how the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet and Nikolas handled themselves. Jocelyn dueled two masters of the sword, but they both were outright overwhelming to her. She learned some valuable information from Nikolas as if he weren’t fighting at his proper skill level as a master, only because of a chip on his shoulder. The other one was Kotaro Winterborn, the 2nd in command to Alexander Kherol, who honestly still shocks her to this day as the friend she met all those years ago. In being a Grand Admiral of one of the strategically best fleets in all of the Ascendancy.

In the pilot seat, Jocelyn was a great skilled pilot and held a great deal of leeway, but she did a single thing before the finishing up of the war that was deemed outrageous. She defended the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet against the 11th Fleet’s Barrages once. By giving Berkeley a scare of his life and causing him to stop firing on Nikolas’s Fleet. It was because as a Tellius Raptor Squadron Captain, that ace squadron was only feared. After all, firing on them would incur the wrath of the 1st Fleet’s Alexander Kherol.

Jocelyn had been discharged with honors for all the service record stuff she has done. Even though she almost caused a friendly fire incident between the 1st Fleet and 11th. She faithfully served the 1st Fleet until some people blamed her for the 11th’s actions on a crucial battle in the war. They were trying to find a scapegoat, but they couldn’t get rid of the Grand Admiral that saved their bacon, so they got rid of the Ace Pilot and Squadron Captain of the Tellius Raptors instead.

Jocelyn wanted to search why her religious symbol glowed on the Dragon’s Claw during that duel with Nikolas. It confused her why, but she will find whoever activated it and learn the truth from it. However, Jocelyn still is loyal to Alexander but despises how idiotic the other Grand Admirals conducted themselves during the final battle at Proxima. Thankfully, the war is over, and she can live her life another day, but Carver’s sister quit the military after his death.

Jocelyn is happy that her friend is still in command. Those other idiots in the Admiralty didn't have the vision or strategic clout that Alexander Kherol has. Therefore, Jocelyn became a mercenary for hire by keeping to contracts that fit her skill set. This allowed her to gain a contract to protect some important people in the Alien Sector, and an organization named Moon Strike approached her to help out their operations. She's only in for it for two things to gain Galactic Credits and to spread her religious beliefs. Though, she does have moments alone where she feels as if she's reliving past events sometimes. It might be a good excursion to reacquaint herself with some of her other friends, which she has been missing for a while now. Only because some of her other friends went into different fields of work in the Ascendancy.

The Rithsworn Family & Friends

The Rithsworn Family is a particularly wealthy noble family living on the Planet of Earth. The Rithsworn Family is mainly only for two causes in life, the pursuit of music and the spreading of religion. Their heiress has hurt everyone in the family by disappearing on them for her plans of musical talents, religion, and a more tangible idea of fighting for her beliefs. Joshua E. Rithsworn and Marsha L. Rithsworn have no idea where Jocelyn D. Rithsworn is. However, these two have been lacking in spreading their religion since they back down to any pressure and have a weak will to set their ideas in motion.
