CHARACTERS DOOM OF ALADFAR

Humble, protective of family. Not interested in politics. He currently resides in the Capital planet Aladfar with his wife Princess Farah Sheliak. His duties at court, albeit subdued and devalued, keep him away from the Enlil-Zhor ancestral home world of Sulafat.

Magnus is a bit rough around the edges due to growing up on the back-water planet. He is well educated and prefers to stay out of the “Royal” spotlight.

He begets two offspring: son Largos, his eldest, and daughter Zira. He loves his children, and puts their well-being first. He is fortunate to have Largos with him on Aladfar, but Zira lives on Sulafat.

Daughter of House Sheliak. Farah is the fierce, proud, strong-willed wife to Magnus, and oftentimes the “Whip” to make him see things clearly. She is the eldest child of the reigning king and queen, set to inherit her House and the crown.

She shed her life of opulence in favor of her House Enlil-Zhor’s poorer disposition. It was only upon her marriage that the stigma of House Enlil-Zhor began to diminish. Farah is well loved amongst people and is not afraid to take advantage of this fact. Nobles “suck-up” to her, currying favor for the future, and thus she uses them to elevate Magnus.

An ambitious aristocrat mindful of his family’s stain. He is brilliant, well versed in history and politics, and first to defend House Enlil-Zhor, even when his father Magnus would not. Largos harbors a secret, one which can have him expelled from court, and potentially executed.

Largos defends the downtrodden, rights the wrongs of the oppressed, and aims to put an end to the corruption and greed within the five-planet nation. Most of all, he is appalled by the powerful Anuk Empire – of their extravagance and influence on his countrymen. He is all too familiar with the unfair distribution of wealth and power and wants to correct this.

The aristocracy respects him, and a growing number of nobles are flocking to his cause.

A fiery-haired princess torn between duty and destiny.

Loner, social outcast, and explorer. Headstrong, got a mouth on her, yet kind with a curious soul. Zira is 18 years old and always thought of herself as one of the common folk and behaves like it. This does not bode well at school, where she is bullied by the children of rich, influential aristocrats.

At age ten she was sent off to a monastery on her ancestral home-world of Sulafat, as is the custom of the Royal Houses. There she learned history, religion, and languages among others. Her passion, however, was sneaking off to explore dangerous caverns underneath the school.

Like her father Magnus, Zira wants to live an easy life doing what she enjoys – exploring. She is constantly disciplined by her caretaker – Matron, who has been her second mother since birth. She spends every end of term with Matron at Lord Zhor’s castle on Sulafat and yearns to see her family more than twice a year.

The best cowardly friend you’ll ever have. A scientist at heart, Erasmus keeps a well-stocked satchel for the unexpected adventure, getting lost, or the occasional broken bone. He is 15 years old, three years Zira’s junior, and so finds himself amid her exploits, willing or otherwise.

Erasmus’ mother is Prince Magnus’ sister. His father was a general in the Royal Armada- he died during a conflict in one of the outer-rim colonies. He attends school at the Monastery with Zira.

No one knows her age, or real name for that matter. Matron is Princess Zira’s nanny and full of mean with absolute authority to whip the skin off her charge when appropriate; a task she is very fond of. Despite this, Matron will give her life for the girl.

She was originally House Sheliak. Matron was gifted to Princess Farah at a young age by the Anuk Ambassador, Lord Alfenestra Delfer. She accompanied Princess Farah to House Enlil-Zhor. Now she spends her days with Zira on Sulafat.

A dedicated soldier in the Royal honor guard. His loyalty is to the crown, no matter which House holds the title. He is fond of House Enlil-Zhor as one of his assignments was serving Lady Ver – Prince Magnus’ sister. There he formed a bond with Erasmus and is quite privy to his peculiar habits.

He is the older brother of the Anuk Emperor, and self-appointed ambassador to the Aladfar Consortium. Alfie as he likes to be called, might be pushing 1,500. He is a Royal after all, although you would never think it. He tends to be the crazy granddaddy scientist you want to avoid. Royals do not live as long as they used to, and everyone expects Alfie to “tip-over” one day, and never get up.

He has a special bond with Princess Farah and the Sheliaks.

House guest of his sponsor at court, Prince Largos, Petros hails from a poor family under House Irogi, from one of their satellite colony planets on the border near the Anuk Empire. He is best described as a flamboyant metrosexual, and not afraid to parade his libertine tendencies in public.

A pampered, stuck-up, entitled brat who attends school at the Monastary with Zira on Sulafat. She is the ringleader of the Royals (the other Royal children from the four Primary houses). Celeste hates Zira only because that is what she learned from her parents – that is House Enlil-Zhor is beneath them. Celeste is your typical Highschool “Mean-girl”.

On the desert sands of planet Sulafat, the warrior Prophet ZHOR emerged to defeat an ancient Goliath, IBLIS, and his horde of minions who were determined to overrun his world. Lord Zhor united the tribes and fought valiantly, dispatching the “Old-ones”, and forever securing his name in destiny’s tapestry.

Lord Zhor ended the Age of Prophets and secured the seat of power on planet Aladfar. With their newfound infrastructure, Lord Zhor and his government established centers of commerce, education, and religion; a new powerful race sprung up from the ashes of “The old ones” – Humanity.

Long before humanity was seeded on your world, long before it was declared on mine, a Hero leapt across the stars to a small blue planet, wielding the Creator’s sword against a vile and wicked race lost to antiquity.

The warrior was gifted with a weapon from the Almighty’s armory, one with the power to destroy entire worlds – the Amon-I.

After his ascension and subsequent fall from grace, he demanded worship at a dark and evil place, which became known as – The Temple of Iblis.
