Background: Sentinels are each assigned to a separate ship in the great fleet of the Nomad Earth Empire. They are the Witnesses, the law keepers, and are feared even among their own people. Their allegiance belongs strictly to The Watch for whom they provide intelligence and reconnaissance. Though essentially, they fall under the command of the captain of the ship they are assigned to, they have the authority to trump the orders of the ship captain whenever they deem the captain's orders are detrimental to The Watch, and thus, the Empire. Sentinels generally do not communicate overly much with the other inhabitants of the ships they are assigned to and are therefore often treated as spies and dangerous to be around.
They are genetically enhanced humans with extra and unusual muscle groups. Sentinels posses finely honed combat skills are are more than a match for a platoon of infantry soldiers. At their disposal, they have the use of a portable version of the Blackhole Technology. This technology allows them to store weapons, ammunition, survival gear, and various other supplies in a small black hole to which they have access through a device located at their wrist. The Watch also maintains a black hole corridor through which all of it's agents may travel back to the fleet command ship. This corridor leads from wherever the Sentinel is, back to the fleet ship but can only return it's traveler back to it's original destination where a return beacon is in place. The corridor does not allow others to travel from the command ship to the Sentinel's location at a remote destination.

External Conflicts: Finds Captain Carter’s command in direct opposition to the Empire and reports her activities back to the fleet. Attempts to wrest command of the Clairvoyant from her.

The Scene:
A fleet ship of The Watch is seen here, stationed in the Starfire Nebula. This nebula is blazing hot and only ships equipped with state of the art shields can withstand the voracious appetites of the birthing star. A Sentinel of The Watch (Jarreck) is pictured walking down a hall way where the floors reflect the ferocity of the nebula outside, en-route to meet with his commanding officer.

Using magically crafted items, they are able to materialize weapons and armor from starforce. Some Luscent are exceptionally attuned to the starforce and are able to use its magic as a means of traveling short distances at such incredible speeds in bursts that they appear to be teleporting. Darian is one such Luscent. Very skilled in the martial arts, Darian is a master with forceblades and possesses great stamina and agility. Drawing their life force from the stars, it is detrimental to the Luscent's health if kept away from starlight for too long. Additionally, adverse weather conditions that block out the light from the sun or stars will seriously hamper their innate abilities.

Notes: Discovered the NE invasion on the Vast Sea of Dolsia Main
Artwork by Jason Dement (jsundmint.deviantart.com)


She could hear them "closing the net" down below. Above the sound of the crashing tide and the raucous call of the seabirds, the constant hum of their hoverlight engines found crevices in the face of the rock. These smallest of echos told her that they had not given up their search for her. She was lucky to have noticed their arrival in the distance before they'd come upon her. On the Vastsea, it was unusual for anything to shadow the sparkle of the waters. Here on Dolsia Main, the floating continent that is home to the Vastsea, light is omnidirectional, provided by the composition of the Godplanet's unique atmosphere. A shadow at sea meant someone was out there.

The invading army of the Nomadic Earth Empire had captured a few of the lower barren continents, and until now, they had made no move to venture upwards into the rest of the realm. Holding no disillusions as to their purpose, Nahlia had left her Zessnir bike on the shore below and took to the cliffs. The only way out by vehicle would have carried her straight into captivity. They had certainly come upon her bike by now, engine still warm from her last ride, and would be searching relentlessly for her.

She hardly noticed the pain in her fingers, the muscles cramped from a day of riding now forced into the deadly climb. She was no stranger to the exertion, fierce warrior of the Luscent. And so it was, today the humans had finally made their move.

"The Starsword must hear of this. After millennia in wait, we now see the threat that brought our people here to the Godplanet. We must protect the Dreamers."

Her conscience reminding her of the significance of her situation, Nahlia redoubled her efforts. She would not be captured. Their nets would close empty until they gave off chase for she would not fail her people. No, she would not fail to protect the very existence of the universe.

Sergeant Veronika Winters, LEG Soldier

Veronika Winters, Sergeant

Role in Story: Crew Member of the Clairvoyant

Occupation: Sergeant, LEG soldier of the NE empire. Crew of the Clairvoyant, Squad Leader
 

Physical Description:
Race: Human
Age: 27 Standard Years
Height: 5 ft 6 inches / 167.64 cm
Weight: 111 lbs / 50.35 kg

Personality/Skills: Skilled at hand to hand combat, firearms, vehicles, and survival. Extremely resilient, Sergent Winters has never gone to sick call a day in her career. She has a dominating personality which makes her a great leader who is easy to follow. Her off duty hobby of acrobatics provides her with an arsenal of tricks to use in combat. Veronika does not take instruction from anyone outside her chain of command. She is a weak swimmer. The complexities of supernatural things, the fundamentals of magic, and most things that are ethereal in substance like relationships all escape her comprehension.

Habits/Mannerisms: She flaunts her sexuality, her well toned body and assets, frequently. She will often use blunt humor or make graphic statements to keep her companions off balance... but is this a disguise for some weakness she hides?

 They’d been on a severed leash for months now. The captain had mentioned something about “drifting” being a new fascination among those choosing The Empire’s path of conquest throughout the universe. She didn’t quiet understand what that was supposed to mean. For as far back as she could remember the Nomad Earth Empire had adhered to a strict code of space travel. Systematically eliminating the other cultures who posed a threat to The Empire’s safety, they would confiscate all the resources of their worlds before taking back to space to continue what seemed to be a never ending quest for galactic domination. This new “drifting” strategy the Captain had not cared to elaborate on struck Sergent Winters as a disturbing change of protocol. She hated changes. Things should stay the way they’ve always been with thorough, well thought out rules and procedures to ensure that a soldier like herself always knew what her mission was and exactly how to complete it. Questions were dangerous. Well these kinds were. And she found herself asking questions in abundance. She kept her questions to herself of course. It wouldn’t do for her soldiers to make note of her uncertainty. What was it about this new destination looming before her in the porthole window that made her skin crawl so? Just yesterday she would have traded an entire quarter’s pay for a fight. Anything to rid herself of the lethargy that had settled like a fog over the crew during the past month. The not knowing made her feel like a child again. An unfamiliar feeling indeed… insecure? She was rotting on this ship. Sergent Winters had never been insecure.
“Let’s get this damned heap on the ground already!”
The others turned at her outburst but she didn’t notice. She was lost in her thoughts again.

Race: Cyborg

Personality: Primary function is to provide personal companionship in service to the Captain. Lilly has her own unique personality and is considered practically human by the crew.

Captain Carter's family wealth and genius inventiveness is responsible for this highly advanced modification. Lilly is also Skilled at hand to hand combat, firearms, vehicles, and first aid. Lilly has charisma that makes her fun to be around and she always has something to say that's perfect for the moment.

Habits/Mannerisms: she always has something to say that's perfect for the moment. Lilly only has a collective 6 years of experience compared to humans having their entire lifetime to base decisions upon. All her memories and knowledge were either preprogrammed or learned in her 6 years of existence which sometimes leads to her not understanding situations that occur for the first time. Also many concepts that are theoretical in essence escape her. She has a fascination with music which makes for interesting moments as she is able to stream, create, and play it through her mechanical body. She sometimes begins singing or playing music just to set the mood or to respond to certain things and while it can be comical, she's very skilled and the crew appreciate her abilities.
 

Background: Lilly began as a personal consort series cyborg owned by Captain Carter. She was later heavily modified and improved with groundbreaking technology created by Capt Carter herself. Some of the results of these modifications include the ability to learn as humans and other sentient beings do, to develop personal feelings and opinions, a wireless connection with the Clairvoyant which allows her to act as a conscience of the ship, and a variety of mods to make her appear more alive such as the ability to cry, respond to the elements, recharge by eating what appears to be a normal meal but is in fact a combination of reagents that stimulate energy generation.

Notes: Lelu becomes Head Mechanic and all of the other mechanics are forced to relearn the names of the tools and equipment they work with. No one understands the Clairvoyant like Lelu does, so to benefit the most from her knowledge, they must learn it the Lelu way.
