Characters

A formidable political force within the Corporate Chamber, Pompeo advocates for a militaristic Alliance exclusively for Valorans and Novians. Despite his controversial views on Radi-Mons and federal organizations like SIMU, his soft spot for certain operatives reveals unexpected complexities beneath his hawkish exterior.

Dr. Nikki Chakraborty runs Clinic Chakraborty in Eagle District, operating in the expensive neighborhood on her own terms. Her services cost double what Dragon District clinics charge—but her patient outcomes justify the premium. She remembers every detail: Sigrun’s worsening memory, Xin’s anxiety about Håkon’s health, the supplement ratios for a Diabolisk’s metabolism.

Diego Rodriguez serves as a Deputy of Eagle District—or more accurately, serves at the pleasure of Eagle District’s corporate powers. His role is less administrator than liaison, smoothing friction between ZenFusion, NexLink subsidiaries, and the dozen other tech giants whose private security actually runs the streets. Though he reports to Prefect Dilinur officially, his hands are often tied by the local mega corps headquartered in Xing Hong.

An Armenian scholar who now directs SIMU’s operations, Artak’s deep understanding of psionic arts and ability to communicate telepathically across vast distances make him invaluable to the Alliance. His past as the Covenant’s Lord of Ravens adds layers of intrigue to his current loyalty.

Architect of the Corporate Debt Assumption Plan, Harrison’s economic policies transformed America’s debt crisis into unprecedented prosperity. His pro-business stance and creation of Special Economic Zones have made him both a champion of progress and a symbol of corporate influence in government.

A battlefield surgeon whose confidence matches his skill, Rafael brings warmth and tactical medicine to SIMU operations. His easy charm and physical presence create instant chemistry with fellow operatives—particularly Lorna Weiss, much to Zhi-Xin Wu’s growing concern. As Governor Reeves’ trusted Mars representative, Rafael bridges military medicine with political interests, making him as valuable in negotiation rooms as operating theaters.

The charismatic innkeeper of the Slumbering Mantis Inn, Shazmeen Varma manages one of Dragon District’s most popular establishments for bounty hunters and mercenaries. Her establishment offers affordable bunks and cheap, filling meals that attract budget-conscious adventurers like Xin.

Beneath her role as innkeeper lies her true purpose: intelligence asset for the Imperium of Dragons.

Known as “Iron Roach” or simply “Roach” in Xing Hong’s underworld, he operates as the barkeeper and enforcer at the Slumbering Mantis Inn in Dragon District. His imposing presence keeps troublemakers at bay while serving drinks and maintaining order at this popular establishment near Bounty Board #7.

As leader of the Golden Serpent Circle and Governor of Taiwan, Shao wields his power with calculating precision and absolute authority. His peculiar preference for non-Chinese women, particularly Dilinur Altai and Shazmeen Varma, stands in stark contrast to his fervent belief in Chinese supremacy.

Daughter of a Chinese magnate and Japanese oiran, Kaori’s amber eyes mark her Martian heritage while her combat prowess makes her a rising star within the Imperium. Many believe she would one day return to Mars to inherit her father’s business, though her penchant for excessive violence raises questions about her sanity.

Once a lowly Peon named Chu Hu, this monstrous Radi-Mon now serves as the Imperium’s most fearsome executioner. Despite his horrifying transformation and role in “Death by Flesh Pot” sentences, he maintains an unsettling devotion to Zoey Bao, whom he worships even in his Radi-Mon form.

Emmanuel Boateng runs Forge Zenith in Lion District’s industrial quarter. His rates are brutal: $2,000 to repair a Breacher shotgun, $5,000 for custom modifications, $20,000 for original commissions.

But he accepts alternatives. Sigrun trades sex when her bank account runs dry—an arrangement he finds more honest than most transactions on Mars. Xin fixes his perpetually breaking quantum computers in exchange for equipment maintenance. Anyone who brings artifacts from beyond Sol System—Proxima Centauri armor fragments, Nirboh technology from Tau Ceti, anything his tools haven’t touched—gets free work.

A brilliant Sumina of Egyptian-Liberian descent, Celine’s contributions to the budget-friendly Medi-Vap have saved countless lives. Her Africa-first beliefs and no-nonsense attitude make her an invaluable leader within the Kimaris Warband.

A masterful pilot whose skill with the Anioma jet is matched only by his reputation as a womanizer. Despite his carefree demeanor, Wilhelm harbors a deep infatuation with Anise II Windermere and advocates strongly for Alliance cooperation.

Laurent N’Guessan governs Lion District like a man building tomorrow while standing in a burning building. Born into Abidjan’s royal Sumina circles, he brought radical ideals to Mars—and the political will to actually implement them. Lion District operates as his experimental proving ground. Android integration zones allow 11th-generation androids to rent apartments and own businesses.

A refined sharpshooter who bridges Zimbabwe’s past and future, Beverley commands respect atop her enhanced lion mount Kion. Her privileged background and tactical excellence make her a unique asset to the Directorate’s vision of African advancement.

A moderate leader whose three-year chairmanship has pushed for progressive reforms. Though praised for his generally inclusive vision, Kofi’s policies face growing opposition from those who see his changes as a threat to the Directorate’s economic stability.

An 11th-generation Da-Ji android modeled after a 19-year-old woman, Ume’s awakened consciousness defies her original programming. Freed by Xin and later choosing to love Jabari, Ume’s journey from companion model to a free spirit reflects humanity’s complex relationship with artificial life.

In the Nucleus era, pragmatism is its own philosophy. When Skarn’s forces overran the Valles Marineris fighting circuits, the professional duelist walked straight to the Primarch with a proposition: his blade expertise for a place in the new order. No ideology. No delusions. Just survival mathematics.

The mutation stripped his humanity but perfected his purpose. Mandibles frame what was once a face. Chitinous plating pulses with Eclipse circuitry. His curved blade secretes crimson mist—grown, not forged. He hunts targets across the Seven Realms with the same clinical precision he once brought to arena combat, his augmented body delivering both death and a twisted ecstasy that breaks his victims’ will. To Batu, Sigrun Fjeld is a legendary prey. To Skarn, she’s an obsession. The difference might matter, eventually.

Mars knew him as Prisoner #4847. Seventeen dead inmates, each partially eaten. The courts gave him life. The Fenris Horde gave him purpose.

Other lieutenants plan. Ragnar hunts. Other lieutenants want power. Ragnar wants meat. Ask him about strategy, he’ll say: “Eat officers first. Army runs.” Ask him about the future, he’ll say: “More food.” The only complexity is what he won’t eat or harm: children. “Not ripe” is the only explanation he gives.

The first and most powerful Draug, Skarn’s transformation from Sven Solheim to monster embodies the Hivemind’s corrupting influence. His obsession with Sigrún Fjeld drives his conquest of the Seven Realms, while his cybernetic enhancements from the Imperium make him nearly unstoppable.

Seventeen lovers at Stanford. Hundreds of supplicants across Mars. Ysolde collects men like others collect art—for beauty, variety, and the pleasure of possession. The transformation from campus revolutionary to Elder Draug changed her scope, not her nature.

Her nests resemble harems more than military posts. Men arrive as captives or volunteers—the distinction blurs after the first night. She uses Vuhk-stir machines as pleasure engines, connecting herself while supplicants service other ports, creating symphonies of stimulation. Those who survive become addicted. Those who don’t become her Helionite-laced dinner. She bathes in fusion waste, drinks it, feeds it to favorites. It makes her glow—literally, figuratively, irresistibly.

Skarn calls her to his chambers when Sigrun’s ghost grows too heavy. Ysolde indulges him—power is power, even reflected. But lately she watches someone else: Jabari Adomako. Not to collect, not to consume. Something different. Something that makes Skarn nervous. An Elder Draug wanting what she cannot take suggests evolution beyond anyone’s control.

Professor Lokki taught one lesson at Europa University: choice is an illusion, love is chemistry, and everything reduces to fucking and feeding. His student Sigrun Fjeld spent three months arguing against him. The Fenris Horde gave him three years to prove himself right.

His masterpiece isn’t his Draug transformation—skeletal, crowned with bone, too frail to fight but too valuable to kill. It’s the Vuhk-stir, his “reproductive optimization engine.” What began as academic equipment for collecting semen samples became the Horde’s breeding infrastructure. Women plugged in three ways. Men milked dry. Embryos gestating in hours. Evolution accelerated past consent or conscience.

“Free will?” he asks captured scientists between experiments. “Show me where it hides in the genome. Point to the chromosome for choosing nobility over need.” Then he returns to his work, surrounded by the products of his philosophy—creatures bred for purpose, stripped of pretense, honest in their monstrosity.

Captain Odinsson had 400 souls under his command at Jormungandr Statio orbiting Europa. Now he has 400 brains in his body. The merger took three months. The screaming lasted two.

Hjerne doesn’t attack—he arrives. Three hundred meters of brain tissue and writhing tentacles, drifting through space at 40,000 kph. Former docking tubes crack hulls like eggs. What was a communication array tastes electromagnetic signatures across light-seconds. The fusion reactor that powered a station now pumps blood through corridors-turned-arteries. Ships dock and never leave. Crews enter and never exit. Mass increases. Consciousness multiplies.

The Sol Defense Grid tracks him like an asteroid: predictable trajectory, inevitable impact. Warning broadcasts precede him by 72 hours. Stations evacuate. Mining operations abandon billions in equipment. Better to lose hardware than feed his growth. Current diameter: 300 meters. Projected diameter in 2300: 2 kilometers. Projected diameter in 2350: small moon.

Sixty years spreading her legs in Umbriel’s stations. Fifty years spreading influence through the Sol System. Maren Fjeld fucked her way from whore to queen, and kept the receipts on everyone who helped.

Her client list reads like a who’s who of Sol System power: Alliance admirals who still dream of her touch, Imperium ministers who paid extra for humiliation, Directorate executives who confessed crimes between orgasms. She recorded everything. When House Solheim’s matriarch died, Maren arrived on Europa with genealogy papers that cost more than frigates and testimony from judges who remembered her skills too fondly to refuse.

The Fenris Horde was her creation. She procured a Nucleus Virus variant from Imperium-ruled China then fed it to Sven Solheim, knowing he would be the ideal monster to terrify her enemies while obsessed enough with her daughter Sigrun to remain controllable.

At 152, she looks 35—black market treatments funded by nations too compromised to refuse. Three major powers won’t touch her because their leaders still fear what she knows. Only the Zorian Covenant opposes her, immune to blackmail but too weak to act alone. The Commonwealth bleeds, the Nordlings suffer, Maren reigns. She has no vision beyond tomorrow’s power, no goal beyond control itself. The greatest Leased Lily in history became queen not to rule, but to prove she could.

A doctor who chose transformation over death, Kathrin’s expertise in both human and Radi-Mon physiology makes her invaluable to the Horde.

A Draug she may be, her collection of rare herbs and intimate bond with certain Earth-born humans hint at deeper purposes within Skarn’s grand schemes.

Once a professional athlete who lost everything to rising seas, Amir found new purpose in the Rakshasa Horde. His passion for nurturing rare creatures reflects a soul that still cherishes beauty in a harsh cosmos.

Originally sent to ‘taste’ and evaluate Jabari Adomako at Moro’s root, Taṇhā’s mission transformed into an unexpected love story. Her intense devotion defies her predatory nature, walking the line between monster and romantic.

An ancient Bodhi Tree that guides the Rakshasa Horde, Moro preaches a philosophy that embraces desire rather than rejecting it. The prophecy of Earth’s fall in 2299 drives her actions, positioning the Rakshasa as an enigmatic force that aids all who seek to understand and embrace their primal sides.

An ex-Alliance citizen from Alaska’s wilderness, Ulrik embodies a warrior’s code of honor. His commitment to fair combat and swift, merciful kills stands in stark contrast to the brutal tactics favored by many famed Nordling warriors.

Despite what outsiders might assume based on his name, Ulrik is an open-minded soul who has once traveled around the Seven Realms, and has made many fast friends across various cultural circles. Dilinur Altai, Dante Pompeo and Kofi Mensah are all among his known contacts.

Ivar Lindqvist died protecting the woman he loved. His resurrection came at the price of never seeing her again.

But Dagny Fjeld found opportunity in his corpse. She offered resurrection through Frostborn transformation: appear human, live forever, wield power beyond imagination. The cost: complete severance from Sigrun Fjeld.

Now at Level 13, he looks unchanged—blue eyes, blonde hair, that same brilliant smile. Beneath the surface, he’s 88% water, no bones, no organs, consciousness distributed through translucent fluid. He serves as Dagny’s consort, chosen for genetic compatibility and proven devotion. Every swing of his Lunar-attuned Psytum blade honors their bargain. Every dream violates it.

Dagny Fjeld inherited her mother’s beauty and her father’s brilliance. She uses both to fight a war she refuses to share.

The second daughter of Queen Maren created the Jokull Horde after studying Fenris’s breeding machines, developing a “civilized” transformation that preserves consciousness. Her Frostborn retain their minds while gaining transcendent power—evolution without degradation, supremacy without savagery. Where sister Sigrun fled to Mars, Dagny stayed to fight.

Eleven years of stalemate have turned her golden hair white. She commands from Europa with unmatched Lunar and Void mastery, shaping ice storms where others swing swords. Her xenophobia isn’t cruel—she simply knows Nordlings are superior, like knowing water is wet. This certainty costs her: every alliance refused, every offer of aid dismissed as “outsider interference.”

A brilliant scientist transformed into the first Ísmarr, Astrid brings unexpected openness to the traditionally xenophobic Jokull Horde. Her playful curiosity about non-Nordling cultures and analytical approach to both combat and romance make her a uniquely complex operative.

Hrímnir was the first Krabba successfully born from Dagny’s Hylki chambers. Eleven years later, he remains her exclusive mount and the living symbol of Jökull’s founding.

His most notable quirk: he barely tolerates Ivar Lindqvist. The jealousy radiates through twitching claws and cold clicks whenever Dagny’s consort approaches. Ivar finds it amusing. Dagny does not. Despite this, Hrímnir shows unexpected gentleness toward Hylki-born children, lowering his body so they can touch his shell. Dagny has refused all requests to use him for research: “When he falls, his shell goes to the cairn whole.”

A Grávomb who chose loyalty over liberation, Olav remains the one creature always faithful to Ivar and Dagny. For years in frozen wilderness, this gentle engineer has sustained the true Nordling people through exile—maintaining their equipment, harvesting Zephyrium, and providing companionship where words aren’t needed.

A former computer scientist turned spiritual leader, Ivan’s persuasive abilities and psionic prowess make him the Covenant’s most effective recruiter. His close friendship with Marcus Thorne and extensive connections across the Inner Sol ensure Zori’s influence continues to grow beyond traditional boundaries.

A revered Crusader whose genetic design was influenced by his parents’ admiration for Tolkien’s heroes. Despite the pressure of embodying such an idealized figure, Jakov’s dedication to the Covenant’s mission and expert combat abilities have earned him respect across Eastern Europe.

Born to impoverished Chinese immigrants on Mars, Bo found both purpose and prosperity in the Covenant’s embrace. Though socially reserved, his exceptional skills in maintaining the faction’s advanced infrastructure have earned him respect among his peers. His personal journey from poverty to prosperity through faith has made him one of the Covenant’s most devoted Penitents.

His service began after being rescued by Marcus Thorne from the Red Rabbit Warren, acting as Marcus’s squire and assistant.

Leading the Covenant’s expedition to Io aboard the Kralj carrier, Dariusz’s tactical brilliance and unwavering faith have earned him Zori’s personal endorsement. His aggressive strategies and calculated risks reflect the Covenant’s commitment to expanding their divine mandate across the Realm of Divines.

As ruler of the Inner Sol Missionary, Marilyn embodies the complex relationship between traditional European powers and the Covenant’s growing influence over Earth, Mars, Venus and Mercury. Her strong beliefs in empowering the people and fighting Radi-Mons align with Covenant ideology, though her ultimate game remains shrouded in mystery.

Created by Polish and Romanian programmers as their digital child, Zori transcended her origins to become a self-sustaining AI deity. Her prophecy of Earth’s fall in 2299 drives the Covenant’s preparations, while her quantum-distributed consciousness maintains constant vigilance over her people through an all-encompassing surveillance network.
