Little is know about her…she just…appeared. According to her story, she is from 70 years in the future, when the world is struggling to recover from the last world war. WW 1 was fought in trenches with chemicals, WW II with tanks, planes, and nuclear weapons. WW III was fought with superhumans, advanced technologies, gods, and magic. A third of the world’s population was extinguished, countries and political structures gone, food, shelter, and safety are in short supply. She was not born, but created. A genetically grown artificial person, using the DNA of fallen warriors and the blood of gods to be the perfect conduit of magical energies used by spellcasters. In short, she needs no amulet, helmet, or magic wand…she IS the wand. I present to you, the orphan lost in a time not her own, ARCANA, and her first and closest friend, Biggs.
Before the time of the Galactic Republic, interplanetary wars between rival species was common-place. Competition for resource rich planets in an age of expanding galactic empires meant that many lost their lives in battles on and above alien planets. The Galactic Republic was set up as an answer to the increasing severity of these conflicts, as a mediating force whose job it was to settle any disputes that may otherwise lead to conflict. However, a recent trade dispute between two long time rival empires flared up great tensions that even the Republic Council could not reconcile, leading to the two quarrelling races to withdraw from the Republic, an unprecedented event. These two species, the Rkuten of Makatra and the Costrilians of Costrila (represented here by their two military leaders, General Lott of the Rkuten and Ped Luc of the Costrilians), have since shattered their peace treaty, bringing interstellar war to the Republic for the first time since its foundation. Waging war against each other and the Republican Army, the rush for resources has begun once again in earnest. And one small planet in the southern spiral arm of the galaxy has drawn much attention from all sides, not least because it is said that not only is the Svetalen criminal Omnion hiding there, but also the remenants of the cosmic elder The Other lay there, both of which could prove a huge boon to which ever side can acquire them.
Hello stranger, good to see you’re still popping in for a visit from time to time. Love the blurb on Thrasos. And the building is preety neat too.

While I’ve been happy with the other four, I’ve been struggling to come up with a look for Watchdog that I actually liked until this one.
So I’m very relieved to finally have this done.

Thanks. 🙂
I’m probably gonna be inactive for a while longer. It’s partially laziness, partially that I’m busy, and partially that, despite having a ton of character ideas, I’m not sure what the proper order to create them is so that I don’t make things too weird, confusing, or contradictory. For instance, some characters can’t exist until I’ve created certain others.
Glad to hear you’re recovering, Keric; I have, mostly. Hope you have time to brain this contest with me.
