Dark Nebula: Cast

The main cast of Dark Nebula with semi-final designs! It was a long and tedious process, but I finally felt comfortable enough with the designs of each member of the main group to complete the exercise of creating all the characters online and presenting them here.

But let's talk briefly about each one; they'll also have their own posts for more in-depth information.

"Slayder" from Planet ExTrel-9

"Slayder" isn't his real name, but since he holds an important political position on his planet, he's allowed to use an alias. He's the second most experienced and veteran member of the group, second only to Juventas. A hardened veteran who respects the chain of command, but also his principles.

Hanka, from Planet Xuller

The Fulgur of Xuller aren't technically allies of the OPSU, not even close, but Hanka managed to rise through the ranks by deserting his planet. She's cheerful and bubbly, but she's still a Fulgur, an exceptional fighter, and unafraid to shed blood if that's what the higher-ups want. She won't allow herself to be expendable again.

Sherry, from the planet Wares

Former expedition leader on her home planet, Sherry is tough as nails, quick-witted, and harbors a deep hatred for the OPSU's greatest enemy, almost as much as for the OPSU itself. She's someone who does her job well, even if she has a terrifying demeanor, and she returns with the entire group she started with.

Axe Clobb, from the planet Florexxia

Axe was one of the first Florexcian ambassadors the OPSU made contact with before the planet's destruction, so he was safe when it all happened. Axe is a genius in many ways, but empathy definitely isn't one of them, yet it's indispensable for the survival of many.

Conrad Clobb, from the planet Florexxia

Axe's nephew, the protagonist of the story, and the only Florexxian survivor rescued by the OPSU. Severely depressed by everything, he understandably only participates in/helps Axe initially, hoping to find other Florexcians. But as time passes, helping people becomes therapeutic and necessary for him.

"Artemis" Diana Boston, from the planet Earth (from @underworldreaderinserts)

Artemis is the group's newest addition, but no less useful for it. She has extensive military knowledge, is skilled in the use of firearms and bladed weapons, and possesses a rather acerbic sense of humor that helps ease tensions when necessary. Curry is the "cat" she rescued and adores, but no one really knows what he is.

Zef, from the planet Idell

Zef was a teenager when he joined the OPSU in an attempt to escape the boring routine of his home planet, but now he's become somewhat of an adrenaline junkie, constantly looking for interesting or "fun" things to do on missions, sometimes forgetting that he's supposed to be helping (Sherry ends up putting him in his place).

Juventas, from the planet Hydrofallos (from @ultravioletqueen)

Juventas is unusual, even for her species. She can constantly rejuvenate after "dying," which causes her to usually appear as a child. Don't be fooled, though; she's cold and calculating, and has surely outlived all your ancestors combined.

Hope you like them!

(ESPAÑOL)

¡el cast principal de Dark Nebula con diseños semi-finales! fue un proceso largo y tedioso, pero finalmente me senti comoda con los diseños de cada uno de los integrantes del grupo protagonista como para hacer el ejercicio de todos los personajes en linea para presentarlos aqui.

Pero hablemos brevemente de cada uno, igualmente tendran su propio post para profundizar.

"Slayder" del Planeta ExTrel-9

"Slayder" no es su verdadero nombre, pero como tiene una posición politica importante en su planeta, le permiten ir por un alias. Es el segundo miembro mas experimentado y veterano del grupo, segundo a Juventas. Un veterano curtido que respeta la cadena de mano, pero tambien sus principios.

Hanka, del planeta Xuller

Los Fulgur de Xuller técnicamente no son aliados de la OPSU, ni cerca, pero Hanka logro meterse en los rangos por haber desertado del planeta. Es alguien alegre y risueña, pero sigue siendo una Fulgur, una peleadora excepcional, y sin miedo de derramar sangre si eso es lo que los altos mandos quieren. No se permitirá ser prescindible otra vez.

Sherry, del planeta Wares

Ex-Lider de expedicion en su planeta natal, Sherry es dura como uñas, rápida para pensar y tiene un odio enorme por el mayor enemigo de la OPSU, casi tanto como a la propia OPSU. Es alguien que hace su trabajo bien, incluso si tiene una actitud aterradora, y que vuelve con todo el grupo con el que partió.

Axe Clobb, del planeta Florexxia

Axe fue uno de los primeros embajadores Florexcianos de la OPSU con los que tuvieron contacto antes de la destrucción del planeta, por lo que estuvo a salvo cuando todo ocurrió. Axe es un genio, en muchos aspectos, pero definitivamente la empatía no es uno de ellos, pero es indispensable para la supervivencia de muchos.

Conrad Clobb, del planeta Florexxia

El sobrino de Axe, Protagonista de la historia, y el único sobreviviente de Florexxia salvado por la OPSU. severamente deprimido por todo, comprensivamente, solo llega a participar/ayudar a Axe en un inicio con la esperanza de encontrar otros Florexcianos, pero mientras pasa el tiempo, ayudar a la gente se vuelve algo terapéutico y necesario para él.

"Artemisa" Diana Boston, del planeta Tierra (de @underworldreaderinserts)

Artemisa es la adquisicion mas reciente al grupo, pero no por eso menos util, tiene un alto conocimiento militar, manejo de armas de fuego y armas blancas, al igual que un humor bastante acido que ayuda a aligerar tenciones cuando es necesario. Curry es el "gato" que ella rescato y adora, pero la verdad nadie sabe lo que es.

Zef, del planeta Idell

Zef era un adolescente cuando se unió a la OPSU en un intento por salir de la aburrida rutina dada en su planeta natal, pero ahora se ha vuelto algo adicto a la adrenalina, constantemente buscando cosas interesantes o "divertidas" que hacer en las misiones, que a veces se olvida que tiene que ayudar (Sherry termina poniéndolo en su lugar).

Juventas, del planeta Hydrofallos (de @ultravioletqueen )

Juventas es inusual, incluso para su especie. Puede rejuvenecer constantemente despues de "morir" lo que le causa a ser vista normalmente en forma de niña. No te dejes engañar, es alguien fria y calculadora, que de seguro a vivido mas que todos tus ancestros juntos.

Within the Heraion of Samos 👑 🦚 🪷

One of the oldest temples dedicated to the goddess of marriage and the queen of Mount Olympus, Hera (with the first one built somewhere within 800 BCE upon an early pre-existing late Myceanean altar/ worship site, and the later 2nd bigger one were built somewhere between 700-600 BCE.); since according to the local tradition, the goddess was born under a chaste tree on the island near the river banks of Imbrassos; which the holy sanctuary would later be built upon. Coupled with a few facts that Hera was one of the earliest goddesses being worshipped and has temples dedicated to by the Greeks, even before Zeus; and her equally impressive religious sanctuary site in Argos which was mentioned in Homer’s Illiad. (Where the Greeks viewed her as a multifunctional goddesses-not only the Panhellenic wife of Zeus and 'queen' of the gods, protectress of childbirth, growing up, and marriage; but also a patron of the wellbeing of the family, in relation with the family and the state, too.)

The Ionian architectural style of the second temple reconstruction, designed by Rhoikos and Theodoros of Samos-along with the xoanon icon of veiled Hera that was depicted in the later Roman coins-have been speculated to be the influence of various later Ionic temples within coastal towns of Asia Minor that were built during Hellenistic times. (Such as the temple of Apollo in Didyma and the famed temple of Artemis of Ephesus in Turkey-one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.)

From all of the archeological essays that I read about the architectural traces/remnants, the statues, and the votive offerings that were excavated within the temple area, it seemed that the goddess do enjoy a large influx of pilgrims and visitors, too- as there cultural syncretism between the Greeks and Greek Cypriots, Phoenicians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Urartians, and Egyptians. Despite the Heraion were later destroyed by an earthquake/or toppled by weak foundations in the muddy marshy ground in 550 BCE and the worship activity almost completely ceased within the sanctuary during classical times, as Samos were under the rules of Athens; interest in Hera began again in Hellenistic-Roman times as numerous smaller temples were erected around the area. Unfortunately, the third temple reconstruction by Polykrates was never finished and was later used as a quarry and a Christian church in Byzantine times.

Ok, I did some research on Hebe goddess of youth and I find the phoenix is associated with her, do you think her children would powers like the bird or communicate with them.

From what I've tried to find out, the only one I could find out was the bit in the wikipedia of Hebe:

In this bit (and the source which that line comes from) is more referring that in Ancient Greece, Eagles were basically another version of the Phoenix, that were a symbol and had the power of rejuvenation; as Phoenixes also popped up in Phoenician, Egyptian and Persian Mythology so somewhere along the way, all of those areas had the idea of the phoenix pop up or it got absorbed along the way.

Anyways, Hebe being the child of Zeus, the eagle represents as well. It would probably be more common for the children of Hebe to communicate with eagles or have an affinity with them; since well, Eagles are a lot more easier to come across. There's also the fact that the children/legacy of Hebe/Juventas (roman god equivalent of Hebe) are going to be more in turn with the giant eagles at Camp Jupiter's Aviary. Maybe being able to communicate with them well enough to ride them like that they did in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit; where they all rode the giant Eagles across with the dwarves, hobbits, and a wizard.

If they do come across a Phoenix, I can't deny that they could communicate with it and they sort of belong in the same realm. However, like most mythical creatures, I wouldn't be surprised if the Phoenix has a more intelligent and individualistic personality as it has lived and died over and over, and just as old; so if the children of Hebe want to control, borrow the power of the Phoenix, well....they best be ready.

Power wise, I can see a rare power a child of Hebe could have that may seem Phoenix like; is being able to have the power of regeneration? sort of like Wolverine or Deadpool. However, unlike those two who are like Level 100 power scale, the child of Hebe would have like a Lvl. 30? They can regenerate wounds to a certain degree, but they wouldn't be able to regenerate lethal wounds (i.e. stabbed in the heart), especially if they're really wounded and exhausted. Maybe they can regenerate an organ but it'll take a lot of power and shave down their lifespan but hey who knows. Best not take any chances or bet being able to rise out of the ashes, at least not alone that is.

Though if you find out you lost your liver and it comes back one day, that's not the power of Hebe, that's just your liver doing liver things. The Liver is the only visceral organ with the capacity to regenerate (hence the story of Prometheus).
