Our protagonists — the members of Hero Machina. From left to right:
Kevérin Tyrion – Pyrotechnic – Leader of Hero Machina; Kevérin is a bright, if somewhat immature officer from Tekdecé. Hero Machina is his first leadership position, and he has little patience for those who ignore his orders.
Kaoné Densalin – Materiatechnic – A cheery girl with a surprisingly dark past. She has vowed to never kill, and to this day she is remarkably conflict-averse.
Siyuakén Wanléon – Electrotechnic – Metallic Infection researcher with a somewhat dry sense of humor and little patience for bullshit. She was a native Nimaliakian but was forced to move to Relédiaka when she was 10.
Davídrius Wrikax – Velocitechnic – Brash, impatient, and ill-tempered; he hates being told what to do. Was the sole Chaotic protector of his home in Treséd, giving him a lot of in-the-field experience – though his technical knowledge is lacking.
Christeané Kolstén – Forcetechnic – Chill and laid-back; he was crushed by a bridge in his youth and got over the trauma by adopting his (relatively) carefree attitude.
Kievkenalis Yumach – Chaostechnic – Arguable child prodigy; his ability as a Chaostechnic outstripped many others of similar power level, hence his quick rise to the rank of Captain. Has a somewhat aloof attitude and is slow to recognize negative subtext, however.
Rebehka Tchiréon – Cryotechnic – Competitive and optimistic; researched the Metallic Infection alongside Siyuakén. Most socially in-tune of the Hero Machina Chaotics.
Vélunis Húnon – Weapons-Specialist Formtechnic, Low-Tier Velocitechnic – Born on the Nimalian Tier 3 World of Chiníka; Vélunis was moved to Nimalia when he joined the RPF, where he met and befriended Kievkenalis and Wilkas. Has no patience for unnecessary work or explanations, but is otherwise chill and laid-back.
Wilkas Icard – Forcetechnic – Born on the Nimalian Tier 4 World of Shekafte; Wilkas was moved to Nimalia when he joined the RPF, where he met and befriended Kievkenalis and Vélunis. Possesses a boisterous personality. He and Vélunis often amuse themselves by trolling unsuspecting individuals.
Nimalians
Characters primarily affiliated with the Nimalian Territories.
Commander Shikan Nikéyin – Stern yet patient commander of the Nimalian Territories military. Formed Hero Machina at the behest of Archoné Culana but has found them more useful than expected. Is relatively young for her position at a mere 57 years old.
Archoné Pallan Culana – Takes pride in his role as Riverana’s monarch and protector of the Oraculm, a prophetic tome. He takes the Oraculm’s prophecies seriously and tries his best to aid or hinder their completion as appropriate, even if doing so gets in the way of others. His attitude toward other subjects is significantly more lax and playful.
Commander Sulan Rantéin – Stern and no-nonsense commander of the Riverana Protection Force (RPF); his strategic mind (and friendship with Culana) has aided his ability to expand and maintain the influence of the RPF as one of the strongest military forces in the Nimalian Territories.
Captain Jonasin Krost – Captain of the RPF Frigate Frasis. Possesses a playful and joking demeanor, but is nonetheless a very capable battle group commander.
Earthians
Characters primarily affiliated with Earth and Space Exploration, Reconnaissance, and Response Command (SERRCom).
Colonel Yumi Yamamoto – Commander of the Earthian Colony of Sunova. One of the first individuals to sign up for SERRCom upon its creation over ten years ago, she rapidly climbed the relatively vacant rank ladder in the early days of the organization and easily reached Colonel. Her rank is far from unjustified, however; prior training and experience make her an excellent officer.
Captain Matthew Lead – Humble yet knowledgeable, Lead was part of a SERRCom recruitment drive to pick up officers from the existing Earthian militaries. His expertise lies in armored combat, but he makes a good leader as well.
Captain David Shepherd – A no-nonsense man, he has little patience for non-Earthians and is of the opinion that SERRCom needs no outside assistance in its endeavor to chart and colonize the stars.
Researcher Scott MacTavish – Highly skilled and experienced engineer and researcher; he happened to be on Sunova when the Master Ayas was discovered, allowing him to look into the Ayas and the new Battlecruiser. Is enthused by the idea of technological advancement and joined SERRCom to learn more and advance humanity.
Chief Captain Peter Krick – Remarkably self-confident, bordering on arrogance; Krick was one of SERRCom’s first Frigate Captains, and had enough experience and skill under his belt to claim the Captain position of the new Battlecruiser.
Black Suns
Characters primarily affiliated with the Black Suns PMC.
Sector 1 Master General Brennon Greant – A large and jovial man, Greant has held the rank of Master General for several years despite possessing no Chaotic abilities. Under his openness and friendliness lies a sharp and highly trained mind; he is one of the most highly-rated strategists in the entire galaxy.
Sector 2 Master General Sike Regek – Velocitechnic, Imperator & Simulator Psychotechnic – Highly skilled, very experienced, and remarkably dangerous; his rise to the rank of Master General was the quickest in all of Black Suns history. His life before the Black Suns is unknown and his only loyalties lie with the PMC.
Sector 2 Lieutenant General Sristof Bitincher – Manipulator Psychotechnic – Impatient and arrogant, Bitincher’s loyalties lie only to Sector 2 of the Black Suns. He treats all others as outsiders and does not work well with equals, but is nonetheless able to maintain amiable appearances when necessary.
Sector 2 Commander Tri’kar Reginko – Chaostechnic – Brash and arrogant, Reginko achieved the rank of Commander under a previous Dra’kis Black Suns General and has been continually passed over for promotion since. She is a skilled combatant, but there is little else positive about her despite her 50+ years of experience.
Sector 1 Commander Sinstis Krydonin – Manipulator Psychotechnic – At age 168, she is one of the oldest non-General Siion members of the Black Suns. She is stern, no-nonsense, and obedient, though she is quick to call a superior officer on their bullshit. She is loyal to and friendly with the Sector 1 Generals but impatient with Sector 2 officers.
Villains
(Note: Reading one of the following profiles before the character is introduced may spoil the story.)
Exdominor – Manipulator Psychotechnic – Leader of the Exemplar Drakkars. Remarkably egotistical, but possesses the skill, technology, and strategic mind to back up most of his boasts. His immortality alone makes him incredibly dangerous, and his 100,000+ years of experience and Ciei thefts make him one of the most feared individuals in the galaxy.
Surdeus – Chaostechnic – Leader of the Sursum Drakkars. Possesses an ego on par with Exdominor. His status as a Chaos Conduit makes him more recognizably dangerous than Exdominor. Likes to boast and taunt his opponents before crushing them mercilessly. Is just as immortal and experienced as Exdominor and is similarly feared.
Morcii – Arrogant and absurdly powerful; Morcii is new to the galactic stage and thus little is known of him, aside from the fact that only Hero Machina has survived direct contact – and even they were completely crushed.
