Name: Quintus/"The Great Prophet"
Gender: Male
Race: Unknown
Age: 2 million years
Job: Deputy to Melkoth, Chancellor of the Grey Empire.
Weapon: None except his magery.
Alliance: Melkoth, Grey Empire
Description: Withered, grey hair, blue eyes, a wild look. Wears tattered grey robes out of preference. These have now been replaced with new grey robes. All this time hinting at the Empire of the same colour.
Bio: Many ages this man has seen, including those of the future, or at least, the possibilities of the future. It was he that made the prophecy concerning Haraldur and Ellenna, a prophecy that only he and his "students" are aware of.
Chapter 5 bio: Attempted to guide Zeros' party to an end where Haraldur would be peacefully "fulfilled", but had unexpected difficulty.
He remains worried for the future. Things had not worked out absolutely as they had supposed to, but he supposes it was close enough, or so he hopes.
Chapter 6 bio: He travels to warn Zeros', but shot by Tesla soon after.
Chapter 7bio: He is released from another Plane by Haraldur, for reasons he knows not. Whatever his reasons, Haraldur would be pleased that plenty of trouble was caused by this action.
Name: Haraldur/The Aspyes Revolutionary
Gender: Male
Race: Human... shaped. Race unknown.
Age: Just (re)created by Nikola Tesla
Job: Revolutionary
Weapon(s): Himself.
Alliance: The Aspyes Revolution
Description: Long blond hair which is almost white. A beard and moustache of same colour. Northern European like skin. Blue eyes, in which a stange fire seems to burn in rage. Dressed in the skins of black bears. A swirling, dark black and red aura surrounds him.
Bio: He has been brought back by Tesla, for the Aspyes Revolution.
Chapter 6 bio (this is for both Tesla and Haraldur): He is brought back by Tesla, and they go to free some prisoners, blowing up half of the Crimson Capital in the process. The go back to the former home of Víkingagarð and go to a settlement, releasing the prisoners. Soon after, the bulk of the Crimson Armed Forces attack, with the help of the Blue Minotaur and of Zeros' and Duilin. This attack is repulsed, and ended, to some extent, after Marshall from the Blue Minotaur negotiates with Tesla and Haraldur.
Haraldur and Tesla attack the Crimson capital, but find afterwards that they had attacked an illusion. After a battle with Zeros', which caused great damage (though temporary) to Haraldur, and as a result the laws of physics (for that universe) started to warp and break down, but only momentarily, as Haraldur quckly healed himself.
Haraldur and Tesla move south, and liberate the city of Laus and fortify it, while remaking it on more egalitarian lines. Haraldur leaves south to meet the ghost of the prophet, and Tesla organises resistance to the inevitable attack.
Chapter 7 bio: Before and during the attack on Laus, Haraldur pays a visit to Redvik, chased by Zeros', and fights Zeros' and Duilin there, causing great damage to the city, as he had intended. Later Redvik would be annihilated and the castle in it almost destroyed by Laus seperating fron the Dark Continent, as waves of lava smother the area. Laus then "swims" away and along the coast, turning North as it reaches the Eastern point of the South coast of the continent. It is travelling very fast, devastating several sparsely populated areas, including some Crimson Empire naval harbours.
Laus is then transported to a similar universe to the normal one, and Haraldur then returns to this one. He attacks a few places in the Crimson Empire before attacking the capital again, causing some damage to the Crimson Palace and other buildings before leaving towards where Salazar is, in Wahhabia.
Tesla remained in Laus in the parallel dimension, as a giant building project was commenced in the dimension with accelerated time to see whether the society they were advocating would be workable. The results are encouraging so far.
Name: Nikola Tesla
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age:28 years
Job: Inventor, Aspyes Revolutionary
Weapons: A prototype raygun, which is not totally reliable. A portable tesla coil. The ray gun and tesla coil, both of his invention, are powered by his magical powers, which can also be used for direct attack.
Alliance: The Aspyes Revolution
Description: Short black hair, black moustache. He is usually wearing some sort of suit, which is usually scruffy, and has been more and more unkempt as of late. See <a href='
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5...ikola_Tesla.jpg' target='_blank'>
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5...ikola_Tesla.jpg</a> In addition, on his arm he has a tatoo. The tatoo depicts ten identical men with blond hair and black garments standing in a circle, and in the middle is an identical man, but much larger. From that man sparks of lightning or plasma leave and swirl their way to each of the ten smaller versions.
Bio: He was born in a small village in the mountains. When he was young, how young he knows not, some mysterious men (members of the Aspyes) visited the shack in which he and his parents lived. The men had chanced to spot him in one of their infrequent but regular sweeps of the area, noticing his patterns of behaviour. It appears some agreement was made, although it looked as if the parents were terrified. The two men picked up Tesla, and flew away to a remote cave and mountain complex. He has now left, on a mission of some sort.
Name:(Caudillo de Alterņa por la gracia de Dios) (Generalísimo) Benito Franco Salazar (In case you wonder, named after three fascist leaders...)
Gender: Male
Race: Human, but a very magically powerful one
Age: 26
Job: The new Dictator of Alterņa
Weapon: A ceremonial rapier.
Alliance: The Alterņan State
Description: He is shorter than average, with short dark hair. He wairs no facial hair other than a short moustache. His eyes are brown. He usually wears green military fatigues.
Bio (and information on Alterņa): He was born from an economics lecturer at Alterņa's only university and a housewife. He was raised in the belief in a god called Fehron, otherwise called just God, or Dios in the Alterņan language. At the age of 18 he volunteered for the Alterņan army, quickly rising to the rank of General due to his remarkable ability. Five years ago, at the age of 21, he led a coup d'état against the Monarch, King Alfonzo, who was killed, during the beginning of a peasant rebellion, which he quickly put down, while reducing their wages. After a few struggles with both peasants and those loyal to the dead king, after five years he now has his power firmly established.
He is called, officially, Caudillo de Alterņa por la gracia de Dios (The Leader of Alterņa by the grace of God) Generalísimo Benito Franco Salazar and rules in an even more autocratic manner than the late king. Alterņa is under permanent martial law, and is very stable. There is a rigid class structure, as always, but now very strictly enforced by the authorities, and the role of the Church has greatly increased in prominence, the practise of compulsory tithes having been reintroduced. The army is also larger than before, with the total conscription of young men.
Recently, he has been disturbed by intelligence reports of the new nation of Aspyes, especially about their revolutionary intentions, and even more so as it seems that they have captured and converted the city of Laus. He does not want this to spread, and so has decided to increase the isolation of the populace, by banning all forms of water transport outside the army, and has decided to form an alliance with like-minded nations against this new threat.
Chapter 7 bio: He communicated with Draven about the destruction of Laus, and led a poorly organised expedition, but was too late. He then took the opportunity to invade the nation of Wahhabia. There is now much organisation to do.
Name: Melkoth
Gender: Male
Race: God
Age: 17 million years... at last count. Why bother counting if you cannot die of natural causes?
Job: Was ruler of many Empires, at different times, usually, but not always, on the Dark Continent (nicknamed so due to the events that took place there, usually under Melkoth's rule), but sometimes on other landmasses. Now he is back.
Weapon: Himself, mostly. He does wear a sword, usually, and he always wears a ring called the Poison Ring.
Alliance: Himself, potential Grey Empire.
Description: Tall and broad shouldered, he has long blond hair and a beard, blue eyes. Like his son, he wears black (although Haraldur now wears two neckerchiefs around his neck as well: a red one and a red and black one), in the form of long flowing robes, a tunic and trousers. This is not his only form, as he is a shapeshifter.
Bio: Appearing in the universe some tens of millions of years ago, he has been involved in many things on this planet over the past hundreds of thousands of years, it all starting with the Gaian Empire, and Empire that lasted a full 33,000 years before eventually falling apart in bloody war and destruction. He led many Empires since, of varying lengths of existance, but usually in the thousands, and some in the tens of thousands. One, the Jet Empire (in case any of you do not know, Jet is a mineraloid derived from decaying wood under extreme pressure, and is black, "jet-black", in fact) lasted in excess of 145,000 years.
What is known about him is that he was a very autocratic and cruel Emporer, every time. Sometimes, he forced Zeros''s mother to be part of his harem, causing her to get claw marks on her back from when he shapeshifted in anger when she had defied him.
Five years ago, he was fought against and defeated by Haraldur, his own son (well, it is more complex than that), and the two have a mortal hatred. In the meantime, he has been preserved in several lockets, which are hidden in many places, so he can be brought back. He has only "died" twice, both times killed by Haraldur, who had discovered the location of a locket the second time, and killed him again, and thought that there had only been one (indeed, still thinks that, for the moment). The intervening period lasted 20,000 years.
Chapter 7 bio: He was recreated by Quintus. He then organised an insurgency in which Alphagrad and Retangrad were taken. He then left for some thought and has come to the conclusion that the world has changed dramatically: there are now many more individuals of high power, rendering large armies of little utility.
