EARLY LIFE ■ YEAR-YEAR
The House of El’s history is one comprised of hope, wisdom, and faith. This is something Kara-El knew as she looked to her father, Zor-El. Raised on the planet Krypton, Kara had an idyllic childhood until her entire fate was changed when a great disaster began to tear through the planet.

The childhood of the girl of tomorrow was one of isolation, tragedy, and obscurity; which would very much explain the blonde-haired Kryptonian’s personality in the years to come. Kara’s father, Zor-El, was one of the brightest minds of his generation and alongside his brother were crucial to developments on their planet until the shadow of darkness befell it. Kara’s father was a very paranoid intellectual— something that would only become worse as before Kara reached her six cycle after birth something tragic and terrible occurred in Argos; his wife and the mother of his child had been murdered thus changing everything. At this point there was nobody to rein in his delusions or theories and on the shadow of a great crisis he refused to listen to even his own brother. The last thing Krypton knew of Zor-El was that he had locked himself and his daughter away in his laboratory rambling to himself about fate and danger.

Following the isolation, Kara found herself in an environment that was shaped around her father and his extensive educational process due to the fact that either the death of Alura had degraded him to lunacy or that he had deduced a crisis that would shatter the world; Kara was taught the latter. At such a young age, Kara didn’t really know how to come to terms with her mother’s death nor how to handle her tutelage by her father. The next few years for her were all planned subsequently through this tutelage and with Kara in mind, Zor-El began to toil with her genetics in the guise of medical checkups which would net her the engineered physiology. This engineer physiology would increase her brain functions, evolve her immune system, modify her perceptive capability, and much more. Kara didn’t understand why she would in time pick up on information from archives and instructional lessons at a faster level than before nor did she understand why she no longer became prone to illness; but she never thought much of it until much later in life.

In time, the crisis that Zor-El had predicted had come and the aged scientist made the decision to doom his daughter away to an alien planet with nothing and nobody. The last daughter of Krypton was placed in a hyperbolic sleep and placed in a illegally developed spacecraft destined to make sure that the House of El in the form of Kara lived to see the next cycle and damn the consequences. This starship would drift in space as it literally froze her in time until it landed in the star system known as Sol. Equipping her with a robotic AI with a recorded log from himself, he hoped Kara could make it out there with what he had given her. Much like Kal-El, Kara-El had been designated towards the planet known as Earth. However, due to a variety of complicated events she would never reach Earth until much later than anticipated.

UNBOUND ■ 2015-2016
Discovered and intercepted by Superman, Kara would awaken confused and with all of her senses absorbing the effects of Earth’s particular atmosphere and solar connection whilst awakened by a strange man bearing the symbol of her house on his chest; not a pleasant introduction at all. It would turn out that time would mend all wounds and the experience of at least having somebody that was of the House of El beside her would make it all the more easier. However this would come with consequences as her landing did not go unnoticed as SHIELD’s extraterrestrial division called SWORD, and Lex Luthor himself would investigate – a terrible precedent to the beginning of her time on Earth.

Initially this did not concern Superman, who had just discovered a connection that he thought he could never have. Under suggestion by Steel, he found he would have to prioritize her safety above all else which meant she had to be raised low-key like he had.

HOMECOMING ■ 2016-PRESENT
With Supergirl now known as a public figure, things began to change as Metropolis— people were still unsure about Kryptonians especially following the Zod crisis that was dealt with sufficiently by her cousin. Political figures like G Gordon Godfrey sought to demonize the increasing nature of “child superheroes” as well as his delusions that the existence of Earth-based Kryptonians only preluded dangers they would bring to the planet as well as a belief that individuals like Superman sought to become their “new gods” and strip the powerless of their liberties.

With deep ancestry descending from Capua, Italy— Ignatius is a Roman in culture and ethnicity. Whilst Ignatius’ family claims that the Dontus line is entirely composed of pureblood Romans, the likelihood of that being based in truth is unlikely due to the presence of various ethnicities and nationalities in Capua for many years. Whilst Ignatius is most certainly distinctly Roman he probably has traces of Goth, German, and Greek. More individually, Ignatius is a tall man that appears Roman in origin with mid-length dark brown-to-black hair and olive complexion. He is well built due to his legionnaire training and conditioning, and contains a fierce and unflinching yet wounded look to him.

Ignatius Dontus was born in the Imperium Romanum thirty-four years ago in the city of Constantinople to a family of Roman lineage that had represented central Roman politicians in Capua for several generations until they were forced to vacate Italy by the Ostrogoths. The Dontus family were Patricians and as such had many expectations that were pressed upon to each individual members including political affiliations, social ideologies, and strict teachings that had leant the dynasty a particular reputation that was inherently negative— especially towards the Peregrinus classes of foreigners. As such the first ideals that Ignatius came to know were fashioned out of hatred, bigotry, nationalist agendas, and classist elitism. Such values would not be corrected for many years to come, as Ignatius often reflects upon.

Following one of the traditions of his house, Ignatius looked to serve the imperium in a different manner than his father had and instead decided to follow his father’s brother, Celsus, who had created his own legacy within the imperium’s military hierarchy as a Legatus. Ignatius’ inspiration was not disregarded by his father, though the disappointment that he’d not want to follow in his footsteps was prevalent and a series of passive-aggressive letters sent to Ignatius during his early career in the legion. Upon the time of the completion of his training and preparation for his first assignment there were no large scale wars going on within the imperium, though following the Anastasian War’s conclusion some years earlier there wasn’t exactly peace or stability either— it was a world on the edge and there were plenty of opportunities for battle.

Those opportunities turned into realities. Ignatius’ first assignments were alongside the fringe borders north of Constantinople in a fortress that was designated as a outlook outpost to keep an eye on activities of nomadic heretics such as the slavs, avars, and bulghars. The majority of Ignatius’ early career was dealing with these tribes and several conflicts that saw him gaining experience against minor threats to the imperium. Days turned to years— but then something far more pertinent became a reality. Called into the tent of his commander, he was brought into a discussion about transferring him towards more of a position worthy of his talents. Noting his talent with tactics, archery, and his connection to the Dontus dynasty he gave a missive that sent Ignatius back to the capital to serve a more central legion. His new commander was an aspiring commander with ambitions and a staunch connection to the emperor himself— his name was Belisarius Falvius.

Conflicts between the imperium and the Persians of the Sassanid Empire had finally began to get heated once again within the earliest years of Ignatius’ service under Belisarius and Ignatius alongside his commander and others gathered a reputation following the battles of Dara & Callinicum. Ignatius’ experiences alongside Belisarius made him reconsider his thoughts on foreigners serving so highly in the empire and made him speculate if Theodoric was simply just the exception and not the rule. However, such favorability between him and his commander would change two years later when they were assigned to handle the Nika Riots in Constantinople. The horrors of war and the reality of the men he was fighting with would shock Ignatius to his core when they committed a massacre against the rioters at the Hippodrome. The blood of 30,000 people was now on all of their hands.

Once Ignatius began to backtrack his investigation’s reports— he saw ways they could’ve met diplomatic ends with the rioters, but he knew that resorting to quasi-genocide had been the only answer that the Emperor had given to Belisarius and the other commanders. Feeling unease with the empire, Ignatius began investigating the affairs that he could using his contacts from his family’s relations in Constantinople. As Ignatius went further down the rabbit hole, things only became exponentially more complicated as the actual politics and realities of the imperium became revealed— he learned more about the rioters that he had more or less executed in a dishonorable and brutal manner, but that the darkness of Constantinople was scarier than whatever had been ingrained into his head as a child. He thought to confront Belisarius— who laughed at his moralizing of people against the imperium as well as nearly killing Ignatius after painting him a traitor.

When Ignatius awoke he was disowned by his family, painted by Belisarius (and as a product, his people) as a traitor who aligned with the rebels known for the Nika Riots, and a dishonorable fiend who attempted to kill the honorable Belisarius in his sleep. Somehow, Ignatius had everything he ever had taken from him and before he was hunted down like a dog he made to escape the city and the imperium. He fled for many months, travelling from Byzantium to Gaul and then Britannia. Finding work as a hiresword, Ignatius found work fighting Saxons and other threats as he began trying to find purpose back in his life… or what little of it he had left.

Now a stranger in a foreign land, Ignatius soon found himself in associated with the people of Camelot. Following an incident regarding rescuing a noble’s daughter from treacherous individuals and solving a conspiracy against them he found himself knighted by Brythonic conventions and rites— and now he potentially sits with the rest of the knights at the famous round table.

Neutral Good

| ORIGIN & BACKSTORY: |

Official records state that Clark Kent was born on a small farm in the city of Smallville around thirty years ago. The truth, however, is a little more complicated than that— Clark Kent is not human.

// EARLY LIFE (1988-2008) //

The planet Clark Kent was originally born on was known as Krypton, a planet that was on the verge of collapse. His father, Jor-El, was a scientist who had been attempting to prepare a route to safely save his species but even through his support by his brother, Zor-El, and their closest friend, Dru-Zod, they found themselves at an impassable point as the ruling government of Krypton continued to deny that their planet was dying— enacting laws to censor the El brothers whilst they controlled Commander Zod through his obedience to planetary law. The survival of Krypton would be a challenge. The El brothers continued their labors as they realized what they could achieve, even together, would not be enough to safeguard their whole species; but they could save the future generation, at least in part. The two slaved in the coming solar weeks as they crafted interstellar vessels, researched former Kryptonian outposts, and integrated archives of their civilization. Kara and Kal, their children would be sent away before the Kryptonian Genocide had taken it’s full course.

But only one of them arrived on Earth uninterrupted.

The Kryptonian spacecraft containing Kal would crash land on the outskirts of the city of Smallville, located in the mid-western state of Kansas in the United States. Before government officials can investigate, a lone truck stops on the nearby road as one Jonathan Kent arrives on the scene; himself discovering the infant boy inside the crashed vessel. Taking initiative Jonathan takes the boy into his care and returns to his farmstead to share the discover with his wife, Martha. The two decide to “adopt” the boy and decide to name the child Clark. The two Kent’s would then confide in their close friend, Dr. Gabriel Sullivan, about making Clark’s paperwork legitimate in fear of the government knocking on their door some weeks or years later. Agreeing that the government has no place in raising a child, no matter of his “origin”, Dr. Sullivan agrees.

So as it was: Clark Jonathan Kent was born on April 19th, 1984 to Jonathan & Martha Kent.

Throughout his childhood, Clark knew he was different than the other kids in Smallville. His closest friends in Chloe Sullivan, Lana Lang, Peter Ross, and Fred Danvers would help him cope with the alienating feelings he felt throughout his childhood. However, as his Kryptonian powers began to develop he begins to believe that he is a metahuman, fearing that if he revealed this fact to anyone that he would lose the people he cared about. He would often confide in his parents about his developing powers, hoping that he would find some answers or at least reassurance about what he was. Whilst Jonathan Kent didn’t feel Clark was “ready” to know the whole truth until he was older, this would begin a series of conversations where Jonathan shared stories to keep the young Clark at ease; stories about the heroes of The Invaders and the Justice Society of America. Captain America, Liberty Belle, The Flash, and Starman served as inspirations to Clark to not be afraid of being “special”. But in time Clark began to wonder about these heroes— where did they go?, why did they leave? It was a thought Clark couldn’t shake; to think heroes just stopped in the face of adversity and danger was one to was unfathomable to him, even at twelve years old.

Clark Kent’s time in his high school years were decidedly average, and Clark wasn’t sure what he was going to do with his life. Even with his developing powers aside, he had no real “career” aspirations. He fancied himself curious about investigative journalism, meta-biology, and forensic science— but the harsh reality of life in a rural city was apparent and while he was bright enough to get a scholarship to several colleges of his choosing there came a roadblock in his senior year of high school as he was sitting in his Literature class with Lana. Clark was pulled aside by a teacher, but he already knew what they were going to tell him; he heard it as soon as the teacher picked up their phone. Jonathan Kent had been hospitalized. For the first time in his life, Clark felt weak. His father had always seemed unable to be fatigued, injured, or ailed but here the news had come— his father had just dropped out working in the fields, and not for the appearance of Jonathan Kent’s friend and neighbor, Benjamin Hubbard, nobody would’ve caught it. Clark blamed himself; here he was worried about College and he couldn’t hear his own father drop. He was too distracted, too focused. He told himself he wouldn’t let that happen. After he graduated, he would stay in Smallville, he could not allow himself to value himself over his father.

Clark graduated High School in the 2006-2007 semester, but unlike his friends who went off to college in Metropolis, Keystone-Central, Gateway City, and Gotham City Clark stayed in Smallville at the family farm helping his father recover and working around the farmstead. Several months into his time, his father who was attempting to recover approached him and told him they had to “talk before he kicked the bucket”. Clark found himself scared, but he listened— he always listened to his father, after all. It was here that Jonathan Kent dragged him to an old tarp-covered truck. The truck Jonathan Kent had found Clark in nineteen years prior and told the true answers that Clark had been craving since he was twelve years old. He wasn’t a “mutant”, he was an alien. Clark’s genetic code allowed him access to what Jonathan Kent had salvaged with Clark’s synthetic cradle and answers suddenly came to him. Clark’s curiosity told him to pursue answers and find answers to what he was. But for now he had to focus on who he was. Despite his father’s badgering to get him to live his own life and stop worrying about him, Clark stayed as he had not only promised his mother but himself. Up until Jonathan Kent’s last words, Clark stayed in Smallville.

Clark was twenty years old when his father lost his battle due to a lifetime of stress; the doctor’s citing “natural causes”. Jonathan Kent was fifty-nine years old. At the funeral, Clark reconnected with his friends who had flown back to Smallville for the engagement. Clark wanted to tell Lana about a flustered mess of feelings he had been holding right there since they were kids, but he was too afraid; too distracted. They parted for the second time in their lives as friends as Clark looked towards the world outside of Smallville for the first time since his senior year of high school. The clues he had to continue his quest for answers were out there— he said his goodbyes to his mother before he left. But he would always be listening in case his mother needed him.

His time as a child in Smallville was over.

// LOST HERITAGE & THE BLUR (2008-2012) //

Returning to the alien object that his father had shown him, Clark interfaced more directly with the technology which released a Kryptonian probe by the name of Kelex. This probe served as a useful tool for Clark, but only partially due to the fact that Kelex had an incomplete amount of information stored in its databanks. Had Clark want to cover information beyond his names and dates he would have to find something Kelex referred to as an “archive”. The discovery that his people had built anything on Earth at any point of time was reassuring given that Clark was not satisfied with the limited knowledge he had at his fingertips. He had to know more. Wherever this outpost was located, he would find it— he was tenacious and determined enough to do that, and with Kelex at his side he knew he wouldn’t be going in completely blind.

Trying not to completely rely on his powers, Clark travelled by foot. With government activity becoming more tense with the rise of terrorist groups like HYDRA, The Brotherhood of Mutants, and many others he had to try to keep the awareness of his abilities as obscure as possible. Throughout his travels to find information about Krypton he took on the guise of a hapless journalist named Jordan Elliot who was curious about technological theory, archaeological developments, and historical speculations. A cover that was effective as he visited a famed archaeologist and historian by the name of Daniel Garrett as his first stop in coming up with some speculative information towards where the Kryptonian Archive could be located. Garrett was not the only individual he visited— others such as Kent Nelson, Luri Hoshid, and Henry Henshaw serving as other notable experts he approached. The information was individually inconclusive and speculative; but after coordinating with Kelex, the search seemed to get smaller and smaller. Eventually he had an inkling near the arctic circle and before he realized it he was standing inside the archive; an archive that felt more like a Fortress.

Even with his abilities, the fortress took Clark by surprise— it was large in scale, the information was an entire comprehensive databank of Kryptonian history and culture, there were logs of every alien species the Kryptonians were aware of from the Skrulls to Tamaranians. It was impressive and Clark got lost in translation for a time. As weeks turned into months Clark avidly began to digest and comprehend; learning what The House of El meant. But the archive and Kelex together was not even one-hundred percent of the story. The last two thousand years of Kryptonian history were unrecorded as they had been the last point there was a Kryptonian sitting in the archive to record them… and that was in Kryptonian Solar Years. But with no more answers available to him he had to be content with what he had learned.

But now that he had discovered the majority of what he wanted to know— what was his next step?

Leaving Kelex at the archive which he noted as his “Fortress of Solitude” he began to travel the world. His adventures caught the eye of a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter & journalist by the name of Lois Lane who speculated his activities in Khandaq, Madripoor, Austanburg, Qurac, and other countries as being connected. Connected by a force of nature that she called “The Blur”. Another journalist by the name of Jordan Elliot agreed with her – Clark was always an easily amused guy, after all. For three years, Clark operated as The Blur and began to develop his alter ego of Jordan Elliot in the background. All while he continued to help his mother on the farm back in Smallville and dissect more archival information at the Fortress when he could. A legacy was brewing and in 2012 in Metropolis he took up residence at a small apartment complex; a residence that he would make his permanent “civilian” home. Clark starts sending articles and investigative information to The Daily Planet's Lois Lane as Elliot whilst as Clark he started his employment career as a lowly janitor.

// THE MAN OF STEEL (2012-2013) //

“Superman” debuts in Metropolis in the Summer of 2012, coined by Lois Lane as Clark stops a 747 from crashing into the city. As far as Clark was concerned it was time to stop operating as “The Blur” and making more of a statement to not only the people of Metropolis but the entire world— the era of the Superhero was not dead and the soul of good would still be out there for people who needed it. They would no longer need to hold on to hopelessness and superstitions.

The cartel of criminals known as Intergang are not pleased with the ‘arrival’ of Superman. The organization begins to operate more quietly with the arrival of Superman and attempt to research ways to put the superhuman vigilante down before their operations took a hit. Their boss funnels research into a project that becomes known as the creation of the first Atomic Skull— a figure that would be Superman’s very first superhuman threat. In a vibrant display of radioactive fury, Atomic Skull attacks The University of Metropolis; drawing Superman in. Superman, despite taking the fight outside of the city finds the threat challenging due to Atomic Skull’s various displays of radiation. Intergang continues their attempts to combat Superman throughout the year as they hire a variety of metahumans, acquire various experimental technology, and generally attempt to find a principle weakness in Superman’s physiology. Their failure is avidly watched by the CEO of LexCorp, Alexander Luthor.

Luthor becomes “fascinated” with the Man of Steel and as a byproduct begins his own research into him – and following the revealing information discovered by Lois Lane during an interview with the superhero, becomes aware that the hero is an alien which initially upsets him. Luthor begins to research all supposed alien activity on Earth in the last thirty years in an effort to find more clues about him. Clues that eventually lead him to a laboratory firm from Keystone City by the name of CADMUS; a company that has held the remainder of the spacecraft that brought Clark to Earth in 1988. The billionaire begins to make plans how he can acquire CADMUS and as a byproduct, the vessel.

As Superman’s role increasingly expands beyond Metropolis, he realizes the load of work he has in store for himself. Thrown into a conflict between Vlatlava and Transia, Superman intercepts a Soviet-era ICBM missile that is launched; throwing all of his strength into disabling it and removing it from play. To prevent full blown war in Eastern Europe he forces the leaders of the two nations to meet to solve the issue. Superman’s “interference” in the conflict is debated but more liberal political commentators simply compare him doing what America has done for years without needing to flood foreign nations with ambassadors and soldiers.

Unaware of the machinations of Luthor's intentions, Superman continues with his investigation against Intergang. Metahumans such as Parasite, and Neutron are subsequently employed by Intergang to deal with Superman whilst they attempt to go about their activities without interference. But whilst Superman’s fights with Parasite and Neutron are difficult they are not enough to cause him to withdraw from uncovering more information about the crime syndicate; using his investigative wits Clark discovers the location that the orders are being sent from to kill him and where the bulk of their leadership is located— Gotham City. Superman heads immediately to Gotham City as he continues his investigation into Intergang. This leads him into a confrontation with Batman when Clark finds out that Intergang is being directly funded by Wayne Enterprises itself. After a couple thousand degrees of tension the two discover that former Wayne Enterprises director William Earle is the culprit of Intergang’s infiltration into Gotham and utilization of WayneTech properties. Using information acquired through Wayne Enterprises and Batman, Superman follows the trail of Intergang’s activities to Bruno Mannheim— one of the leading criminal leaders in Metropolis alongside Anthony Gazzo.

Superman continues his investigation into Intergang and more specifically, Bruno Mannheim. But Mannheim is more cunning than he looks, keeping his hands clean as far as Clark can tell about his criminal activities. Deciding to be a bit more “proactive” in his dealing with Mannheim and Intergang he enlists the help of investigative reporter Lois Lane to see if she could dig up any information to bring his crimes to light. Lois has been trying to take down Mannheim for years, easily accepting the request. Throughout the next several months Mannheim’s activities are inevitably uncovered but before he can be captured he disappears after activating a box-shaped device— his last known words are “He will be unhappy.”

// CONTINUED ACTIVITIES (2013-2014) //

Following Mannheim’s escape, Intergang seemingly disappears from Metropolis and Gotham’s criminal hierarchy. Superman forwards his “report” of Mannheim’s cryptic threat and Intergang files he hopes that Batman’s deductive skill can find something he missed so that Mannheim doesn’t escape justice— nor would “he” of which Mannheim mentioned. Returning to his regular patrols, Superman finds himself stopping a critical explosion at Metropolis’ central power plant that has been staged as a trap by the supervillain known as Libra. Libra is joined by a gang of likeminded villains as they hope to defeat him. Superman has difficulty contending with the group until the arrival of Captain Atom and Captain Marvel. This is the first time Superman works with people of his similar “power scope” as well as those associated and loosely associated with the federal government, giving him some perspective on the other “world level” heroes of the day.

Due to Superman’s increasing activity in the world at large, Luthor procures many deals with his experimental weapon technologies. Luthor reflects on it to his protege, his youthful niece (Nasthalthia Luthor), as there always being “a silver lining to everything”. Following this he sets up a high profile charity event where he invites high profile individuals to follow him in making a statement about the struggles of those caught in the crossfire of superheroism. Luthor also uses this to announce his acquisition of the technological firm, CADMUS, in a show of his success. As he makes the announcement he is attacked by a group of terrorists; before Superman can arrive Luthor shows the capacity of his new personal defense technologies by incapacitating them himself. A PR move that makes waves for Luthor.

With the acquisition of CADMUS, Luthor can finally get his hands on the vessel he had been coveting for several months, a fact that is deeply connected to his discontent towards superheroes such as Superman. Luthor’s research turns to the creation of a synthetic substance that is a sort of synthetic kryptonite – after “losing” a test portion of the synthetic kryptonite to a former soldier-turned terrorist by the name of Robert DuBois who attacks Superman with an energy rifle powered by the synthetic kryptonite thus being Clark’s first experience with dealing with a weapon that makes him feel utterly powerless. Luthor is content as he watches, even as Superman eventually outwits his foe. However, following the incident Clark confronts Luthor about the radioactive substance that came from his labs that DuBois broke into. Luthor dances around Clark, playing the role of an ignorant executive who says he’s been researching alternative sources of energy and that it truly comes as a shock that it can be used as a weapon against Superman.

// UNBOUND (2014-2016) //

After a year of refining his synthetic kryptonite— a hiccup in his operations occurs when Luthor’s business partner, John Corben, falls ill as it is revealed that his heart is failing him. Convincing Corben to partake in an experimental project that could allow him to continue living his life, Luthor begins what he calls “Project Metallo” – transplanting Corben’s brain into a metallic construct that is powered by a synthetic kryptonite core. The process is successful, but in the process Corben goes insane and attacks Lex. Superman is the first on his scene to intervene at the newly built CADMUS facility in Metropolis and finds himself in a tricky fight when he realizes the kryptonite energy is once began being utilized by Lex recklessly. In the end Metallo is taken by the proper authorities and Luthor is brought in for extensive questioning but is never indicted on any charges. Whilst Luthor has done nothing against him personally, Clark feels nervous around the man considering his significant experiments with energy that is not only toxic to Clark but dangerous radioactive energy as well.

In the Fortress of Solitude, Clark is informed of a colliding vessel on route to Earth that has Kryptonian readings by Kelex. Not only is he anticipating the arrival of someone like him, he understands that due to the interstellar trajectory that if the ship collides with Earth at its current speed it will do some serious damage to the planet. Clark intercepts the ship outside of Earth’s atmosphere readily as he guides it once it has slowed significantly back to the Fortress. This way it will keep Kryptonian technology out of human hands and serve as a way to store the piece of Kryptonian culture in what Clark has been building in the Fortress to serve as a museum of sorts. Upon opening the vessel Clark meets not only another Kryptonian, but his supposed cousin with the name of Kara-El. Though, the fact she is a child of around eleven to twelve years of age does prove some difficulties. He focuses his time on comprehending her and explaining their situation. An exchange that would take months upon months to figure out and that would be even before securing her a false identity on Earth or integrating her to Earth culture.

Three years after his initial debut, Superman contends with a malicious foe known as BRAINIAC. Initially sending minor drones to investigate the Kryptonian readings in the Sol System, BRAINIAC soon attempts to eradicate the life it detects as dictated by its programming; all with no care to anyone who is in the way. After dealing with the militant drones Superman takes to the atmosphere to deal with the hub ship before more people are harmed by its odd vendetta that it holds against him. The resulting battle ends with the ship being thrown into the Sun but not before it tells Superman that “The Mothership will arrive eventually, you will not survive forever. Kryptonian.”

// PUBLIC ENEMIES (2016-PRESENT) //

On the 1st of April, Superman would fight his most challenging battle yet with the arrival of a starship in Earth’s atmosphere bearing Kryptonian markings— military markings at that. Led by the trinity of Kryptonian leaders including one Commander Dru-Zod, Superman is eager to finally have answers to questions he’s had for his entire life. However, Zod informs Clark that he wished their meeting was on more amiable terms; the Kryptonian survivors intend to harvest Earth and turn it into their “New” Krypton. As Kryptonian machines and soldiers invade Earth, Superman and his allies (including Steel and the newly caped Kara) try to stop them before the world is irreparably harmed. Using Steel’s mechanical genius and a lot of tenacity the Kryptonians are launched into The Phantom Zone and any stragglers flee into deep space or go into hiding on Earth.

Following the invasion, Superman finds his allegiance and character under question by dozens upon dozens of politicians, celebrities, and journalists. Lex Luthor directly blames Superman for his incompetence and carelessness as well as declares that had Superman not been on Earth in the first place his oppressive people wouldn’t have come and attacked Earth in the first place. Despite the arrival of Supergirl, Clark feels like he didn’t act swiftly enough or put together a plan in time. He seeks Batman’s consul.

| SUPPORTING CAST: |

—Important Enemies—

—Colleagues & Wards—

Supergirl (Kara-El // Lana Kent): Clark’s cousin who appeared on Earth after being stuck in a sort of temporal purgatory for an unknown amount of years. Before SHIELD could arrive and apprehend her arrival he ushered her away to his “Fortress of Solitude” to safeguard her.

Batman (Bruce Wayne): The polar opposite of Clark and the logical yet cynical side of him. Batman is Superman’s closest friend and most uncompromising ally in the war against crime.

Steel (John Henry Irons): A prodigy who was once a close friend to Lex Luthor, John Henry Irons has used his mechanical genius to aid Superman in many ways including the development of his “Fortress of Solitude”. Irons is one of the few people in the world universe that Clark absolutely trusts. Irons is also one of the leaders in security technology in the United States with his technological firm, Steelworks, being centrally located in Metropolis.

Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards): Another individual on Superman’s short list of confidants and allies, Reed Richards has helped Clark figure out scientific lapses that John Henry Irons lacked the quantifiable skills for. But with Reed now missing Clark lacks the insight of the prodigal genius.

—Friends & Associates—

Lois Lane: A pulitzer prize winning investigative reporter who currently works for The Daily Planet, the job that got her to coin the hero known as “Superman”. She’s fascinated with the Man of Steel for his ideology and his tenacity despite initially thinking it a bit naive and archaic. She has come to find herself siding with Superman in most cases, though she is worried that his vendetta against Lex Luthor could lead to bad consequences.

James “Jimmy” Olsen: A sixteen year old aspiring photojournalist, intern at the Daily Planet, and the protege of Lois Lane. Beyond that, Jimmy is a close friend and ally who has been in league with Superman since the Man of Steel’s debut; though at the time he was only a bumbling intern at the Daily Planet.

Lana Lang: Growing up in Smallville, Lana Lang was Clark’s best friend and perhaps under different circumstances… they would’ve been something greater. When Clark left Smallville to travel the world and find himself she would enroll in a major university sponsored by STAR LABS before setting up shop in Jump City, California to continue studies in meta-biology.

Chloe Sullivan: Another childhood friend from Smallville; Chloe has since also moved to Metropolis, following in her father's footsteps in the medical field.

David Corporon: Former Police Commissioner of Metropolis and now Governor of Delaware; Corporon is a staunch supporter of Superman’s ideals and actions in and out of the United States. William Henderson replaced him as Police Commissioner. It is speculated Corporon will have a bid in the next Presidential Election as a Democratic Candidate.

Appearance

Richard Davis strikes many as a striking young man, a fact that presumes he is appealing to many— if his “resume” of former girlfriends and flings have anything to say it is that this is generally true. Richard sets in at about 5’8” and due to a fast metabolism has little issue with his physique, a fact that is only accented by his own fitness regiments that have developed his muscles. Richard is well groomed, though even when he isn’t it seems to not do anything against his favor. In recent years he has kept a small beard over past clean-shaven appearances and his hair itself is generally cut short. As for clothing, Rich prefers to wear higher end material but isn’t too prissy about clothes— as long as he has a buttoned shirt, casual wear, and occasionally a suit & tie to accent his expensive watch he doesn’t care too much.

“There are two things that are important in this world— and you’re looking at one of them.”

Personality

Richard has grown up his entire life in the shadow of his wealthy parents, a fact that has defined his personality. Growing up the son of a wealthy real estate mogul and a successful corporate lawyer, there were “standards” to keep within the Davis legacy— something that Richard would grow to tolerate despite his discontentment with. Though he tolerated these expectations later on, he did not start as such— having vibrant arguments with his parents over his lack of freedom and choice. But if it was just independence that Richard exhibited he would be far less toxic in reality; his upbringing fundamentally creating a myriad of personality flaws that are unpleasant in nature. This includes a fiery temper that comes out frighteningly violent— created from his father’s insistence on harsh discipline during Richard’s childhood. The son becomes the father, as it is said.

Both of Richard’s parents tried to instill conservative and religious values in him at a young age; a concept that just didn’t take. Richard has found himself in opposite company of that intent calling himself an agnostic atheist and not really caring about politics in general. A fact that would frustrate his deeply religious father and card carrying Republican Party mother— thus drawing more lines in the sand between parent and child. Despite these differences his parents still realized that Richard was quite intelligent; doing exceptionally well in the classroom despite not even trying— a fact that would only amaze them as he grew more and more independent with age. But his “natural” intelligence was not an excuse for Richard’s behaviors out of the classroom; a fact that Alexander Davis was not willing to allow going on in his household.

If anything can be classified as the most significant trait learned in his childhood for Richard it would probably be the significance and power of wealth. It became so ingrained in Richard’s mind that he found himself obsessed with money and began to inflate its value in his mind. If he was wealthy, independent, and smart he could do anything and he’d never feel so alone in the world. This extended to a tendency towards self-centered narcissism and opportunistic traits that became buried under his ability to charm, intrigue, and trick others— including women. Women became a relief for Richard, inflating his ego due to his striking appearance and thus only making his bad personality traits worse off. As he believes he is the only thing that is important he values the opinions of others lowly which results into a condescending attitude at times; though many don’t realize it due to his clever wording that he had just insulted them.

History

Richard Davis is one of several children from the union of Alexander Davis and Janet Schultz; the others being his sisters. As the only son, Alexander had many expectations for Richard as an “heir” and as a son; a fact that was evident by his parenting decisions throughout Richard’s life. The lessons didn’t turn out to be favorable results as Alexander Davis would learn; his and his wife’s grooming of their son resulting in much often the opposite result of what they wanted. Perhaps it was their lack of true care for setting him straight or an early desire for independence for why it failed, but regardless Richard took his talent for academics and began to try to path out his own way of life whilst he began to carefully navigate his parent’s expectations by high school as his financial aspirations grew more and more. He graduated at sixteen, and was featured a few times online for his escapades— escapades his parents eagerly silenced with their wealth and influence.

He set for Purdue initially, though his goals of fooling his father’s standards with an ivy league degree came later when he continued his academic pursuits at Stanford. Whilst he did just that, he also caught the eye of a young girl bearing the family name of Carrington; a family he was quite familiar with in reputation despite his father and mother consorting in different upper class circles. He found her interesting and perhaps one of the few he could relate to; he also found her attraction towards him as another way to fellate his ego. After Stanford he looked forward to “meeting” his family’s standards as well as moving forward with his own financial interests with a career as an “business investor and entrepreneur”.

He wasn’t sure if he was going to join his father’s Real Estate empire, but eventually relented as his father assigned him a position under his own as Executive Vice President; an odd move that was criticized by others in the company but was written off. Months later, on a business trip to Germany tragedy struck his family— his father had perished in an incident in Berlin. Even more shocking (and ego-fellating) was that his father had left the majority of his shares to Richard as well as a lot of his financial fortune.

He has since become one of the youngest CEO's and billionaires in the United States.

Life seems pretty good… even with a pregnant girlfriend.

Favorite memory

The news getting to him of his father’s death in a car accident whilst abroad. Whilst some children would abhor this memory, Richard relishes in it and laughs at how it makes out. He is thankful that the inheritance of his father’s fortune and company fell on him— something the Master’s Degree was good for.

Least favorite memory

His father’s threats against his well-being, and probably the threat to disown him from inheritance— a fact that without his sisters interference may have came to be.

“She’s the kind of girl that I’d consider is worth marrying. Maybe. If she proves she deserves it.”

Richard Davis and Olivia Carrington have been in a relationship for a little over a year now, though it's been a bit complicated in recent months due to Olivia’s pregnancy. A pregnancy he’s tried to keep as obscure as possible and despite his lack of commitment to an exclusive relationship he knows very well how paparazzi and gossip columnists work given a few of his escapades as a teenager. Lining the pockets of “pseudo-journalists” has kept himself from receiving the ire of his mother’s wrath and most likely the Carrington’s themselves. He very much understand what kind of situation he is in and due to the issues in front of him he has begun to think what is the best move going forward— he’s got so much of his life left and he has to consider raising a child? Well, as much as raising a child constitutes to the upper class, perhaps. He’s pretty much decided to propose for engagement to Olivia privately before he meets her family, knowing full well what it’d be like to show up with a pregnant daughter with no ring on her finger.

That aside, Richard does feel a connection to Olivia Carrington beyond a simple attraction. This is probably due to their similar upbringing, intellectualism, and ambition. Her tolerance of him is also admirable to him given her weariness of their open relationship, her awareness of some of his personality flaws, and other factors. He feels like she’s an ideal partner not just for business but for romance— after all, if she can tolerate him at his worst then who could really be better for him? Lesser women have left him for less, and made him cynical towards relationships in general.

Describing Elaine Carrington is not a difficult matter, though she would lead you to believe otherwise.

Setting in at a slightly stunted height of 5’2”, what Elaine lacks in a few inches she most certainly makes up for in sheer presence. Her long dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, and athletic build is something that is a bit of a west coast staple. Elaine Carrington is most definitely alluring naturally, but there is more depth beyond that alone. After years of confidence and entitlement it is clear that Elaine has subconsciously created the appearance of someone with poise, posture, and control of a situation; even to the most ignorant of her status or identity it is clear that she generates attention and focus without the most minimal of effort. This is often accented by her natural appearance and physical build that has attracted many potential boyfriends and girlfriends.

Given her status, wealth, and own excessive tastes it isn’t ridiculous to say Elaine has “eclectic” tastes in sensibilities of style. Since she was a little girl it was always evident that Elaine was obsessed with her appearance in one form or another and as such she has gone through flirtations with many different looks and aesthetics— however, this does not mean that Elaine is particularly privy to liberal appearances as she prefers to not be as provocative as some of her idiotic “friends” who choose to gallivant half-naked when they are allowed to. You will seldom see Elaine in shirts or blouses that stop before they hit her waist and the only large portion of skin you should expect to see from her is her legs due to her penchant for skirts and dresses.

Elaine tends to prefer wearing her hair neat and down with various styles depending on what she is privy to at a given time. However, there are many times where she resorts to a tight ponytail as an alternative to her general preference— athletic activities, swimming, and formal occasions for example.

Cunning ♦ Intelligent ♦ Methodical ♦ Narcissistic ♦ Wroth

_{Ж P E R S O N A L I T Y}

Elaine Carrington is the youngest of the Carrington dynasty, and perhaps the most like her parents.

Forged by a childhood of idolization and emulation, Elaine’s manner can be attributed and compared to her parent’s distinct personalities and ideologies. A fact that depending on who you ask has turned Elaine into either an pretentious two-faced diva with daddy issues or a clever and bright young woman who represents her parents at their best— both descriptions being correct in their own way. Ultimately, Elaine is defined by her intelligence and whether that allows those around her to view her as pretentious or pseudo-intellectual is entirely up to them— but they’d be wrong to dismiss Elaine so quickly. Whereas many of Elaine’s siblings were born into the world with the ability to create and express, Elaine was born into it with the ability to think and perceive. A fact that has in time created a young woman who knows she is smarter than others around her and in turn acts like it despite the consequences of her peers resenting her for it. But such resentment is expected when with all the work into studying for Elaine to simply do it without even putting much effort into it. In a way it can be disheartening and somewhat infuriating to see a classmate succeed in such a way, especially when Elaine bluntly states that it is just a fact that they are not as smart as her to their face. But Elaine isn’t stating it to hurt her classmates, she is saying it to state a fact— because that is all it is to her.

But logic and blunt honesty isn’t always the best approach— but Elaine cannot comprehend the idea of telling anything but the truth. If people cannot deal with the truth then that is their problem. A perspective that is in doubt one she drew from her father, Lee Carrington, since she was a child. Even to Elaine, Lee didn’t cushion blows or tiptoe around the facts. Honesty is the most important thing in communication, because if you are twisting it to protect another’s feelings than you are weak and cannot take the truth or deal with it. Whilst Lee’s lessons in Elaine’s childhood never specifically told her that lying is a coward’s tactic it was one that Elaine most certainly developed as a byproduct of her comprehension of what he was telling her; and it was one she was never corrected on.

Much like her mother, Cassiopeia Carrington, Elaine has little patience for incompetence— though this also extends to the point that Elaine has no patience for those who talk out of their station and in combination with her aforementioned honesty would be clear to others that they really aren’t worth their salt and shouldn’t be talking to her. This would not be simply limited to her peers but also would include even family or at least those that are non-existent or distant; especially if they would attempt to lecture her or correct actions and attitudes she has exuded. If her family were to intervene in her life they would have to be ones who have the right to in her mind. To some this would be a trait that attributes to the impression that Elaine is a pompous diva, but such opinions wouldn’t affect her in the slightest as such opinions don’t matter unless it comes from people who do.

Witnessing incompetence, sensitivity, and deceit are rather large triggers for Elaine and to those that know her know that she has a temper that few can withstand. Whether it is loud and violent, patient and methodical, or sassy and dismissive it is very much clear that Elaine has a temperament that few enjoy tolerating. It is said that when Elaine believes she is scorned or betrayed she will ensure that there will be a reckoning that the culprits would never have experienced before in their life. This vicious and overzealous anger lends to Elaine’s methodical and tactical mind as she plans out her entire elaborate revenge quite cohesively— thus hinting that her innate intelligence goes far beyond academic applications.

Elaine is also a fierce competitor and such attributes certainly have a play into her temperament. Not a “one-trick pony”, she has exhibited interest in athletics and sports since she was ten— she’s played softball, tennis, chess, basketball, golf, and soccer. Approaching each game like a strategic puzzle as well as a drive to keep her body as fit as her mind Elaine continuously challenges herself in these activities and at the heart of it actually enjoys them. But as mentioned, this plays into her temperament and when Elaine loses badly she takes it about as well as you would imagine. Whilst she isn’t so vain and petty to take a loss from an opponent as the beginning of a plot to ruin their lives as a rival, she is quite short with them and their victory unless the loss is minute or logical to her perspective. The phrase “let the robot win” has been uttered by some of her classmates upon competing against Elaine; though Elaine would detest this due to the hard work ethic her parents ingrained into her.

But Elaine is not simply determined by a personality of fire & ice, as evident by the actually caring side of her personality that she does actually have. She’s sympathetic towards others, loyal to her friends, and uncompromising in her personal ethics. Whilst these are aspects are ones that are earned rather than given, Elaine is still amiable towards people and not entirely anti-social— in fact, some would say Elaine is the opposite. It is clear that when Elaine is being kind that it is no façade in the slightest and is in actuality a show of genuine affection.

But it doesn’t end with Elaine being genuine to that end, but also the fact that Elaine is also magnetic. With a combination of cunning intelligence, pleasant demeanor, natural confidence, and radiating presence people seem to resonate towards Elaine; though those who are themselves not trying to get something out of a friendship with Elaine is uncertain. This radiance is most likely a byproduct of being the daughter of a major corporation, her early conditioning at private school, and having the media often trying to get a hand in her family’s affairs and social activities; Elaine damn well knows how she should appear even if it “looks” fake, she can tell the truth while being pleasant and she has no need to embarrass her parents by not being upstanding. Elaine refuses to be a delinquent, fool, or incompetent. It simply isn’t in her vocabulary.

Between distinct moments of teenaged angst and her own expectations of herself, Elaine is in a precarious place mentally for sure.

Elaine Carrington is the youngest child of Lee & Cassiopeia Carrington, as evident of her birth in January 12th, 2000.

Elaine’s childhood was determined by the few siblings that stuck around, but with being the youngest the few she did know were on their way out or concerned with themselves by the time she was in elementary school. The age gap between her siblings made an environment where the Carrington Estate on most days felt empty, but even as a child it was clear that Elaine had aspirations to get affection and attention and by utilizing her innate intelligence and talent there were moments where she was successful. At age seven, Elaine began lessons in classical piano to catch her mother’s ear; at age nine, she memorized the dictionary; at age eleven, she began studying language to impress her father; at age twelve, she was sure that her comprehension of advanced theory and puzzle-solving would impress them both. At Elaine’s heart was a girl who refused to give up and due to this fact her intelligence was only exponentially reinforced. But in turn, she found herself legitimately driven and sincerely interested about the intellectual pursuits she had pursued to stand out from her siblings and impress her parents. Her childhood friends were obsessed with dresses, dolls, and boys; and whilst she had those same interests she found herself more gravitating towards knowledge, puzzles, and music. In a way, her childish notions had set her on a path that would define her as a teenager; a fact she found ironically entertaining.

By the time Elaine was twelve years old, her parents were looking into enhancing her educational opportunities and whilst Elaine was coming into a fine woman without additional opportunities they knew it was time to rein in their options. Elaine despite preferring the company of her parents (unlike her siblings) thought the prospect of going somewhere new and studying for a few years was exciting. In-between her hobbies and classes, Elaine would find herself travelling to these preparatory academies and boarding schools for various tours as her parents tried to put a finger on the type of institution that they’d like her to go to. However, these tours would come to an end before long and the three of them felt happy with one decision— a rurally located academy in the outskirts of northwestern Maine called Strathmore Academy. It would be a whole new chapter of her life.

Elaine’s first year at Strathmore Academy (or SAHLA) was adventurous at best but devastatingly isolating at worst. This was the first time she had been away from her parents, her home, and even the few siblings she had affection for— Elaine felt homesick, but even though she felt in such a way there was no way she was going to go crying to her parents to take her back home after she had been so excited and optimistic about the prospect. She rationalized with herself that she was going to have to adapt and deal with it. A fact that she pushed forward, slighting out her angst and anxiety as she began to make new friends and acquaintances in no time at all; a happening that made her angsty nostalgia far more tolerable. Though a lot of these individuals she met had a different mindset than Elaine entirely and it was all so apparent with how they talked and acted. But the awkwardness of being “different” from other affluent rich kids at Strathmore passed in time as she began to develop a friend’s circle of her own with several fellow girls from other parts of the country. But as with any Freshmen year of high school there was going to be bumps and a metric ton of teen angst; drama and problems were always expected to happen eventually— especially among a school comprised of kids with silver spoons embedded in their mouth.

Experiences at Strathmore have been a mixed bag, but in generally Elaine has put up with it and enjoyed the intellectual side of things and getting to know kids her own age. She is currently in her second year and is trying to look forward to the future that the worst things that happened in her first year wouldn’t be happening again.

• Academic – The skill and talent where Elaine truly shines. Knowledge and Information are fascinating to Elaine to the point that her innate grasp over the material presented comes like a second nature. Whether it is the history of contemporary literature, political history, arithmetic, or world cultures she seems to have little difficulties comprehending the information and applying it.

• Athletic – Whether it be Tennis, Chess, or Basketball; Elaine’s competitive nature allows her to have the appearance of being athletic. Perhaps one of her weakest skills overall, but it is clear that Elaine isn’t simply all brains and no brawn even if she is not a gifted athlete.

• Perception – As a companion to her sense of academics, Elaine has long term memory that allows her to notice things as well as remember them which plays well to her memorization of the dictionary, several languages, and the smallest lies her family has gotten away with. This is due to her mother’s obsessive need for things to be perfect and Elaine’s determination to live up to said standards.

• Pianist – Elaine has taken to piano since she was seven years old. However, that is about the extent to her ability on Piano and it is obvious she hasn’t touched the instrument in over half-a-decade.

_{Ж S E X U A L E X P E R I E N C E S}

She has a sexual preference that gravitates towards girls due to her unappealing experiences with boys of her own age.

_{Ж M I S C E L L A N E O U S I N F O}

Generally speaking, Elaine is not a “dumb hapless brunette with a trust fund” and she flaunts that fact to a boisterous confidence. Whilst her friends might dally in casual flirtations and spending their money without thinking Elaine is the inverse— fiscal, practical, and while she does like spending money given to her she does not think her parents are her personal bank and has a desire to prove to them that she deserves their affection and donations. She is very smart and wants to prove that she is the smartest in her family. Due to that determination Elaine has tackled language as a hobby since she was ten (she is fluent in Latin, German, and French; and has interest in adding Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese to that list), and began overwhelmed with the history and culture of the arts since she was 13. When outside of her dorm room, Elaine is never seen without a book of some sort.

“He’s the person I admire the most and the person I hope to become.”

The phrase “Father Knows Best” is not just the name of a dated television show; for Elaine Carrington it is a phrase that is pretty much the equivalent of the written gospel. Elaine has absorbed three vital aspects of her father’s personality into her being— his relentless work ethic, icy cynicism, and sharp honesty. Initially bred out of a strong need to replicate her parents and impress them by living up to a standard no other Carrington could, this isn’t quite the case by this point in Elaine’s life. It is authentic and sincere. Whereas others would see such traits as negative it is Elaine who rejects the notion entirely as she frames her ideologies that such belief is ignorant nonsense of people who don’t really comprehend it properly. Such defense of her father’s ideals are natural of course; especially if you consider the fact that Elaine has looked up to her father since she was seven years old and has tried to gain his attention and praise since.

However, working hard to earn praise just means that harsh words from her father mean so much more to her. If her father were to ever lecture her, even with justification and logic, the weight of the words would surely knock her off her feet and crush her confidence— and Elaine knows it, a fact she frames into the understanding that she shouldn’t ever disappoint him in the first place in that case. Other people might write off Elaine’s relationship with her father on her end as “daddy worship” and while they would not be incorrect, it is certainly more complicated than that.

Lee Carrington is the tower that holds the Carrington’s up and the sun that gives them life.

“My mother is tenacious, cunning, and above all smart. People like to criticize her for it, but I reject such ignorance entirely.”

If Elaine Carrington’s father is the sun that brings life, her mother is the moon that watches over everything in darkness. As a child, Cassiopeia’s rigid, perfectionist, and distant nature did not alienate Elaine as some expect it should have and as a teenager Elaine has come to respect it. Her mother’s ideologies that mistakes should be corrected, quality should be desired, and your spirit should be able to take a few blows to the ego is something Elaine has kept in mind in her time away from her parents. Surprisingly Elaine has come out the complete opposite of her environment and her admiration for both of her parents instead of disdain is at the very least an interesting turn of events.

Whilst Elaine strived for her father’s praise and attention more as a child, she did not have an apathy for her mother’s opinions as she continuously tried to impress her and live by her example. If her mother needed to see 100% on every exam she took— then she would study to the point where no mistakes could possibly be made; though some might say Elaine’s innate talent for academics may have made that too easy. When Elaine didn’t make those 100% expectations she never cried or was disappointed when she was corrected. She knew she would do it better the second go around— incompetence would not be tolerated.

Elaine respects her mother and she refuses to allow people to speak ill of her or her methods.

“I’ve never met my eldest sister, and honestly I really don’t care to.”

The only thing Elaine knows about her eldest sister is what the press, blogs say about her— her parents are notoriously vague about her existence and Samantha has cut all ties to the point she really has no role in Elaine’s life. So really all Elaine knows is that she’s an artist who ran away from the family and what people online think of her and her work, but that’s about it. No real emotional bonds or opinions.

“The television producer. He wasn’t really around, he had his own life.”

A man with his own family, responsibilities, and obligations— but that doesn’t make Elaine absent of having an opinion about her older brother, Arthur. Considering his work as a television producer there were many ways to gather information online and an inquiry or two to her parents and caretakers would gather more of an understanding. Despite her unimpressed stance on Arthur she really has no negative or positive feelings in either direction and she feels that if he were to be a part of her life the deadline on that was thinning exponentially as she increased in age. She’s not sure if she respects him or not and adheres to an ambivalent shrug when the rare classmate asks her about him.

“I’ve never met him, and nobody really talks about him. What’s there to know?”

Much like Samantha, the only thing Elaine knows about Gabriel is what she can overhear and what she can read— and unlike Samantha there isn’t a whole lot of the latter. Considering he has cut ties to the family and has lacked a prolific success for Elaine to research online (by comparison) she has no way of really knowing how she feels about Gabriel. He’s a stranger with the Carrington name stamped on.

“The doctor— the little I know of him seems appropriate. If what they say is true then Emile can learn a lot from him.”

In Elaine’s eyes it is quite possible that Mathias is the most prolific of her siblings and the most practical. However, as is expected Elaine doesn’t have much of an opinion on them beyond that he wasn’t a complete coward like Gabriel or Samantha who cut ties with the family outright. There’s enough of a man to respect, though he never really created much of a relationship with his youngest sister either. She doesn’t blame him for it— his job is a taxing one and he has priorities to take care of.

“From what I know, I never would have liked her. She left when I was quite young.”

Often referred to by Carrington caretaking staff as “the troublemaker”, the bits Elaine has heard and read about Esther is pretty much distasteful and unflattering. Elaine has never had the problems Esther has and thus believes herself to be “above” such a person who would flirt with unsavory habits and issues. Of course it is true that Elaine doesn’t know the complete and unabridged story as she hasn’t had a meaningful dialogue with Esther which is unsurprising considering she was six years old when Esther was sixteen and going through the motions of her rebellious and confused phases of life, and things didn’t much change by the time Esther left.

It is assuredly a shame Elaine thinks so little of her sister, but given her train of thought and the lack of a relationship with her at all it is not unsurprising.

“My brother tries. He fails, but at least he tries. I feel like that eventually he’ll get it right.”

Elaine was nine years old when Nathaniel left for college, so her relationship with him is admittedly loose— though unlike other members of her family Nathaniel has returned to the family home on occasion and in turn has some relevant form of relations with Elaine. Though due to his personality Elaine has always found him obtuse at best, though he is in favorable terms for her all the same.

“I love my sister, I never really understood why she left but it is what it is.”

Out of all of the Carrington siblings, Indiana was probably the closest Elaine could be to any of them and as such by Elaine is considered #3 on her list of Carrington’s she values to any amount. Gifted in music, it was clear that Indiana took time out of her own life to strengthen Elaine’s interest in classical compositions even if, at that point of time, she was only learning to garner attention. There is a fondness with Indiana that Elaine still holds onto even though she left around Elaine’s tenth birthday— the reasons being never fully explained to Elaine. Nonetheless, Elaine still tries to keep in contact with her sister through social media and the occasional phone-call. She’s sure that Indiana doesn’t want to tell her the complete reality of what her life is and she respects that. In a lot of ways Indiana is the family member to respect after their parents in Elaine’s eyes.

She is confident that she’ll be close with Indiana for a long time.

“My brother is quiet, always thinking, and kind; but he doesn’t have the gall to tell people how he actually feels.”

The closest in Elaine’s age of the Carrington children, and by far one of the closer relationships she has had within the family barring her parents— though it is far from perfect. #4 on Elaine’s list of Carrington’s she values, it is clear that Elaine has a great fondness for her brother even if she finds some of his habits weak and problematic. Her positive reflections of her brother is generally tied to his interest in making sure she recovered when she fell ill; whether it was something minute like influenza or something more dire, Emile seemed to be the first to make sure she was okay, and it is with the sympathy that she learned to not be completely stoic.

Despite that there comes the assertion that Elaine believes Emile to use “thinking” as an excuse of not saying anything and is too scared to actually tell the truth. Not exactly the best relationship.

“Third romantic relationship in my life. So far my batting average is pretty low, but I’m hoping this’ll be different.”
