The most powerful of all of The Eldar, The Extant has power over reality itself. Able to traverse dimensions, manipulate outcomes and change anything on a whim, The Extant is, without a doubt, the strongest being in existance. Which is where her twin comes in. Much like The Muses, The Extant is a multiform being, in this case a distinct pair (unlike The Muses four aspects of a whole), with The Extant being the power and her twin sister, The Veil, being the check to that power, a way to ensure that realitydoesn’t fall into chaos.
@Ubiquitous Pixel: It would be an interesting fight, but I get the feeling that they’d probably just end up chatting about universal fundamentals and the meaning of existance. I mean, I’d hope that’s what would happen, because otherwise we’d all be pretty screwed. Well, if Arcane/ Void can even find The Extant…. segue
The Eldar, due to their fantastic cosmic power, are viewed as potential targets for the power hungry and, as such, are adept at hiding themselves, whether in the depths of space, throughout time or within their own pocket dimension. However, only one hides in plain sight. The Eldar were the first humanoid beings and all humanoid life evolved to ape the template they laid out, so it should be obvious that at least one of them would choose to hide away amongst the trillions upon trillions of humanoid life-forms in the universe and, to add a further layer of protection, they don’t even know they’re hiding. Sempi Turner is the human disguise for the Eldar known as The Veil (the twin and cover for the fantastic reality bending power of The Extant), constantly in a state of life, death and rebirth across multiple realities. It is unknown why The Veil chose Earth as her hiding place, but she has lived her since the dawn of humanity. As her human form dies of, The Veil will access the power of her twin and influence the creation of a new human life to conceal herself within in a different reality. This is done by instinct, The Veil (who essentially is the human) doesn’t even know she is doing it, but it is essential for her survival. If the human form becomes aware of their role as The Veil, they may become able to access the power of The Extant and be able to manipulate reality, thus setting The Extant free and potentially destroying The Veil (and, in the worst case scenario, reality itself). An interesting phenomina has been noted by those that study The Eldar. When an Eldar dies, their Heartcore is drawn to the location of The Veil and The Extant. This could potentially mean that she has the power to resurrect them, or it could just be that they find comfort in being near their family and the twins are the only Eldar to live in one place consistantly (if not always within the same reality as her siblings).
The President of the Cosmic Council and the Galactic Republic as a whole, Xenos’ period of leadership has been defined by a period of conflict and uncertainty not seen since the days before the formation of the Republic. Politics between the member systems of the Republic has always been fraught with controversy and delicate manueverings in the chamber and behind closed doors have been able to forge alliences that have kept the peace for generations. However, this has brought about a system that sees much of the power lie in the hands of a select few peoples, the four most important being; the Rkuten of Makatra (a people well versed in commerce and information, known as a financial power in the Republic), the Costrilians of Costrila (the resource power, with a system rich in rare and useful minerals), the Svetalen of Prisax-V (the great foundry of the Republic, who create all of the technology that keeps the gears turning amongst the systems) and the Damourans of Damoura (best known as the soldiers of the Republic as their people make up a significant proportion of the security forces for the Republic). The power balance between these four races is crucial for the survival of the Republic, especially recently, as a trade dispute has been brewing between the Rkuten and the Costrilians. This did not escalate into open hostilities until the Omnion crisis, which saw the Svetalen become pariahs of the Republic and loose a large amount of their influence. With the balance of power shifted, a war erupted over the trade dispute and raged across the Republic, threatening its complete collapse.
@Vengeance- Cheers dude.
The Damourans of Damoura are a people known for their toughness and militaristic nature. They are strong, with high stamina and resistance to pain, as well as generally an analytical way of thinking that makes them excellent soldiers. As such, the species makes up around 80% of all soldiers in the Galactic Republican Army. Sigma Mask is just one example, serving as General of 14th Squadron. A former close friend of Aesia Kael before the Galactic Guardian was captured by Omnion and thought dead, Mask was one of the most decorated soldiers Damoura ever produced. Helmets have a special place in Damouran society, the coverage of the helmet denotes a warriors status. A new recruit will have no face coverage, just a skull cap, whilst a high ranked solider will show no skin on their face, head or neck. Mask is one of very few to be afforded the honour of his mask extending to his shoulders, due to his actions in saving 7 systems during an incursion by the Dvaarin. However, since the Omnion crisis struck the Galactic Republic, war has raged between people long thought to be allies and the Damourans, being the frontline of the defence of the Republic, are on the verge of being wiped out. This has led to a growing Damouran Seperatist movement, a movement that looks towards Mask as its inspiration and for leadership, leaving Mask to choose between his loyalty to the Republic or to his people.
As a species, Sol Deitiis are so rare that almost nothing is known about their biology. Much of what is known comes from one specimen, Arya of the Galactic Guard. But even then, very few tests have been done and no internal examinations have been carried out (due to the subject still being alive and quite against the idea of being vivisected). What was unknown up to this point is; what is the limit to a Sol Deitiis power and what happens when that limit is reached. Well, during the battle of Earth, between the Glactic Guard and Earth’s heroes against Omnion, this was discovered. When reaching the limit of his power, Arya went supernova (as beings so closely associated with stars, this nomenclature seemed appropriate), burning white hot with power. Unfortunately, it would appear that achieving such a state puts such a strain on the Sol Deitiis body that they can only survive a very short while (mere minutes if Arya’s case is to be taken as standard), due to the amount of energy that they expend. Though, it is safe to say that Arya’s sacrifice was not in vain.
Given that he possesses the power of The Other (the Eldar of Space), Victor Daniels found himself one of the targets of Omnion upon the alien tyrant’s arrival on Earth. Omnion sent Azgul to collect The Other’s heartcore and, as powerful as Overlord is, he was little match for the Optirien. Fortunately, he was saved by the appearance of Shiro and Ruby, with Ruby (who possessed the heartcore of The Guide, Eldar of Time) warping the trio a day into the future. However, Omnion had anticipated this and Azgul was there to greet them, with back-up in the form of Wyren. During the fight, Overlord’s cyborg body was damaged and the power of The Other started to leak, warping space around him. By this point a task force of A Division and Galactic Guard members had joined the fight, but even then they were being pushed back by Omnion’s disciples. Until Overlord finally managed to access the true power of The Other. Alongside Ruby, he vanquished Azgul and Wyren, sending Wyren far away in space and time and condensing Azgul to the size of a single atom. Though this new development is a huge boon in the fight against Omnion, it means that, should Omnion be defeated, Earths most powerful supervillain is now gifted with limitless power.
When Omnion went to fight The Spectre in order to take the Eldar of Destruction’s Heartcore for his own, he was met by a group of the strongest superheroes in the universe, including The Titan, Andromeda, Paragon, Arya and The Watchman. However, by the end, only Paragon was left standing as Omnion began his battle with The Spectre and The Muses (who had come to the aid of their brother). Even with All Power, Paragon wasn’t able to defeat the Svetalen, but he bought the Eldar enough time to retreat. In rage, Omnion brutally beat Paragon and snapped his neck. However, before he died, Paragon transfered his power to his companion, Impact, creating a new Paragon. At this point The Spectre and The Muses reappeared alongside The Extant, Overlord and Ruby. With all the Eldar gathered, the new Paragon engaged Omnion in the battle to decide the fate of the universe.
Due to her previous power (the ability to supercharge objects through contact) mixing with Paragon’s All Power (specifically, his limitless strength and speed), Casey Langley may well now be the most powerful superhero in the universe, with a punch from her being the equivilent of being hit with a neutron star.
During the battle against Omnion, Tyra’s revenant body was destroyed fighting Mortuus. However, she was saved by her team-mate Aesia Kael and, after the battle was over, she was taken to W.I.L.D. With a new cyborg body created by Gideon Mantel and a Damouran power armour body suit, Tyra has been reborn from her days as a revenant and has retaken her place alongside a new iteration of the Galactic Guard.
Galactic Guard could have left Earth two team members lighter after the battle with Omnion claimed the lives of Arya and Kett Nova. However, they were joined on their adventures by Anelle, the Rkuten A Division member, who saw them as her best chance to get home. However, the Galactic Republic is very different to the one they left. Now ravaged by war and rebellion, the Republic is crumbling and it now looks like the Guard have a mission beyond Omnion, stop the war that he foresaw.

A telepath who specialises in mind control, Michael Wallis delights in theatrics. Though he has powers, he prefers not to use them, or to only use them intermitantly, alongside other forms of suggestion and persuasion, including genuine hypnotic techniques, technology and drugs. By mixing his approach, he can almost guarantee that his victims can’t build a tolerance to his control and he can control more than one person at a time, which is impressive considering his telepathic power isn’t a high level. That being said, his reliance on trickery doesn’t serve him well should he be confronted physically. Combat is, it is safe to say, not his forte.
