Talk:Space Princes

Archetypes

Patrician: Exalts have the REIGN special, starting with two uses a session(?). When rolling to command those with lesser rank or demanding compliance from baselines in general, all dice become autosux.

Equestrian: Start with an additional Fate point. In addition, pick two skills to specialize in; when using them you will roll success on 4 and above.

Freelizard: Warrior clades have +2 die to all Ferox based rolls.

Witch: Choose one of three affinities: Bello (to War), Fascinare (to Charm), or Invidia (Nemesis). Each provides situational bonuses and access to technologies based on the Celestial Spheres. Each level in Witch brings them closer to their core, and allows for probability manipulation in their favor.

Characters

Cube Masala, the Magicus of Fascinare

Archetype: Witch (Fascinare)

Player: Exhack

A darling of the court who has used his considerable charm and poise to gain a seat in the court and numerous ceremonial duties, Cube Masala wields a powerful network of allies and informants. The Magicus of Fascinare is no mere man, but a witch, a distant descendant of the Witch of Lust and her myriad breeding-consorts and a successful inheritor of her superior genes and Core Resonance traits despite the generations between them.

Appearing to be a beautifully androgynous yet wholesome youth of average height, he reflects and emphasizes those traits of himself his observers desire most: women see the sculpted physique and patrician features of a handsome young man, men see the delicacy and grace of a beautiful woman. His interests are those of the people observing him, as he seems to know an inexhaustible supply of facts and anecdotes relating to philosophy, art, politics and the natural sciences, and cares about sport when his companions do. He seems to play the part of a mincing bureaucrat who does not have the stomach for real responsibilities, obsessed with aesthetics and appearances and his popularity in politics and the public.

Though his friends in the Assembly are numerous, his rapid climb to even irrelevant ceremonial titles has not been ignored- his recent appointment as the Second of the High priest of the Court is an enormous step forward in prestige that has some questioning his motivations. His real interests- personal and political, are far more ambiguous and little-shared, though he has been seen giving patronage to some commoner publications and appears to genuinely enjoy his responsibilities as the keeper of the Assembly gardens. He seems to cleave towards a moderate, gradual reform process that would slowly improve the lot of baseline commoners while continuing Karalis' campaigns abroad.

Stella Postumia Vindex

Archtype - Patrician/Exalt

Player - Lokar

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Born into an ancient but impoverished patrician clan, young Stella grew up in the company of well-off baselines and Ur-Real Lizards before the fortune smiled upon clan Vindex allowing them to reenter proper Patrician society. Young Stella began the traditional rise through the ranks of Exalts making use of natural talents and abilities to hold several civilian and military posts before finding fame and glory the Septemius Campaign waged against several rouge warlords from the Archonate of Tyre. Stella was instrumental in the capture of the one of the warlords and while the lion’s share of the credit went to her commander, Stella was allowed the honors of both dragging the warlord in chains and executing him during the triumph. Fame and glory in Kralis is fleeting however and thus Stella finds herself a legate in search of an opportunity to advance.

Stella stands slightly shorter than the typical Exalt and his purposefully dyed her hair blonde and wears light green contacts not only to make herself more approachable to those who she commands but also to throw off potential baseline or lizard rivals as to her exact nature. Stella chose the light green contacts base off a portrait she saw during a diplomatic mission to the Knights of the Phoenix purported to be one of the two personal champions of first Witch of Lust who remained in the LMC to rule in her stead. Stella found his eyes to be the most charming feature and choose to adopt them.

Of Stella’s character it could be said that a duality exists. On one hand Stella is easily approachable and charming, able to joke and cavort with baselines and lizards and speak with them on their level. On the other hand Stella contains haughty, stern and dictatorial streak demanding complete obedience when required. These dual natures make Stella a bit unpredictable allowing her to be super protective of her troops in one instance only then to turn around and risk them on all on some dangerous plan that might net her more glory. Stella can also be said to be a perfectionist expecting the best both personally and from those who serve her. Having grown out of mean circumstance Stella gained a great deal of firsthand experience with baseline and lizard nature, however, she remains a firm member of the Inheritors.

Aria Serreno

Archetype: Equestrian

Player - Holle

A mysterious mercenary wearing a peculiar suit of artefact armor and wielding a lightsabplasmic blade. Currently in employ of Karalis as an (exceptionally lethal) troubleshooter, agent, investigator and guard unburdened with existing political connections in the Sevenstarinate and rather limited ability to make any. While her past is a bit murky, it does seem like she was involved in a pro-baseline revolutionary movement elsewhere, until the whole affair turned out to have been organized by the Deague and ended in a complete disaster that caused Aria to take flight and cut off all her past ties. Some might find this concerning, but converts do seem to make for the fiercest believers... or so the theory goes.

Typically operates alone and working with local Karalis assets on her missions, whatever they may be. Not much of a people person, and not much of a leader of men, for that matter, but her individual fighting prowess is considered a bit terrifying.

Known for her strange "ribbon armor", rumored to have been "acquired" from an Exalt fallen in the chaos that swept through Milky Way. Formed of many pseudo-ribbons capable of independent movement covering the body in several layers, it can be folded and concealed under proper clothes rather easily, as well as used as an offensive weapon in a pinch. Has a wide variety of useful additional functions, such as life support and self-repair based on similar system to warship armor, as well as intellect of its own. For all intents and purposes, Aria is wearing her husbando. (waifu?) Might be a factor in why she's not much of a people person. Her job hasn't exactly lent itself well to making friends, either, admittedly.

Notes:

• bit of a Vader
• has a lightsaber
• does not have a boat (or other permanently-assigned military asset)
• as an agent, can be freely assigned to whatever and wherever she's needed, or operate independently for time being.

Ragna Semperargens Rynix Deterrens

Archetype: Equestrian

Player: Shrike

Ragna is a failed Exalt, one who did not manifest the full range of REIGN abilities. She is also a failed Witch, one who never properly interfaced with the arcane cyberware of witchcraft. Success at the third attempt was perhaps luck or perhaps the universe giving up. More machine than woman by this point, she has became an Optio-Legate in the Sevenstarinate's military at an unprecedented age.

Commonly found encased in or attached to various forms of cognitive hardware and command equipment, it is only at social functions that she spends any significant time outside of a spider- or float-chair.

Octavia Marise Nemo

Archetype: Exalt/Patrician

Player FBH

Octavia's very existence is a scandal, the result of an affair between her mother, Demi-Executor of the Interior (A Patrician), and her father, (one of the Guardians and a major figure in the Dignifiers). The two chose to bear a secret child to confirm their love eternal, then found that their love was less eternal than their ambition. Worse even than the scandal was that Octavia was an exalt, with an ability to command the obedience of REIGN over those below her. Raised without the name of either of her forebears, Octavia has navigated through various high class boarding schools and then university with only the name Nemo, the ancient mark of one who has nothing and no family.

After university, in which she earned a high honour, she went into the military. Perhaps glory can give her what family could not.
