[Basic Information] Name: Fluxion Age: 29 years Gender: Male Sexuality: Bisexual Species/Race: Human Occupation: Former politician, revolutionary, and leader of the Conspiracy; currently a fugitive seeking refuge in Infernus Birthplace: Pandora Current Home: Yggdrasil / Infernus [Personality] Fluxion is intelligent, ambitious, observant, and highly strategic. He is confident in his judgment and naturally skilled at understanding people, politics, and situations several steps ahead. He can be charismatic, persuasive and charming, though his confidence often becomes arrogance when he believes others cannot see the bigger picture. Fluxion genuinely wants to create a safer and more stable world, but he believes that terrible actions can be justified if they produce a greater good. He is ruthless without being needlessly cruel and sees violence primarily as a tool rather than something he enjoys. Beneath his calm exterior, Fluxion is deeply paranoid and struggles to trust others, constantly anticipating betrayal. His greatest flaw is his inability to accept being wrong; once convinced that something is necessary, he can rationalize almost anything to achieve it. Despite claiming not to care about power, he craves control over outcomes and dislikes being powerless. [Appearance] Height: Tall (185 cm) Body: Lean and athletic Hair: Fluffy, black Skin: Light Eyes: Purple, with a small mole beneath his left eye [Preferences & Aspirations] Hobbies: Reading, strategizing, studying people, political discussion, observing his surroundings Likes: Intelligent conversation, competence, strategy, loyalty, honesty, quiet moments, and people who challenge his worldview Dislikes: Stupidity, incompetence, hypocrisy, unnecessary cruelty, betrayal, being underestimated, losing control, and admitting he is wrong [Backstory] Fluxion became politically active on Pandora after growing frustrated with its divided factions and leaders. He initially tried to convince them to cooperate, believing unity could prevent further conflict. When his efforts failed, he became convinced that Pandora's leadership was incapable of changing and that its leaders had to be removed. He created and led the Conspiracy, organizing assassinations, manipulation, traps, and political deception in pursuit of what he believed was a better future. Each escalation was justified as a necessary sacrifice. When the Conspiracy was exposed, Pandora turned against him and Fluxion was forced to flee to Yggdrasil. Now a hunted fugitive, he seeks refuge in Infernus, telling himself that its strength and stability make it the logical choice.
[Basic Information] Name: Rerir Age: 30 years Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual Species/Race: Human Occupation: Elite soldier; former Peacekeeper of Covenant Birthplace: Yggdrasil Current Home: Infernus [Personality] Rerir is intimidating, blunt, impulsive, and fiercely independent. He has little patience for diplomacy, political games, or people who hide behind words instead of acting. Years as a Peacekeeper have made him exceptionally skilled and confident in combat, but that confidence can border on recklessness. Rerir tends to act on instinct, especially when someone he cares about is threatened, and he is much more likely to confront a problem head-on than carefully consider every possible consequence. He has a short temper and can be meam toward people he dislikes, deliberately provoking them simply to see how they react. Rerir's feelings tend to come out through actions, possessiveness, anger, and protectiveness. He can be surprisingly playful with people he trusts, though his humor is often dry, teasing, or deliberately provocative. [Appearance] Height: Very tall (198 cm) Body: Muscular and powerfully athletic Hair: Messy, shoulder-length white hair Skin: Very pale, red-pinkish markings all across the body Eyes: Pink with dark, slit-like pupils [Preferences & Aspirations] Hobbies: Weapon maintenance, sparring, training, wandering alone, and provoking people he finds interesting Likes: Strength, honesty, loyalty, competition, capable people, teasing, the princess, and freedom Dislikes: Cowardice, betrayal, politicians, manipulation, incompetence, being ordered around, and anyone threatening the people he loves [Backstory] Rerir was one of Covenant's elite Peacekeepers, soldiers trusted with the nation's most dangerous assignments. He was exceptionally talented but never particularly easy to command, often relying on instinct and personal judgment rather than following orders exactly as given. His aggressive nature made him dangerous in battle but also made him difficult to control. When Covenant collapsed, the remaining Peacekeepers joined Infernus, and Rerir followed them.
The massive doors of the Ashen Bastion opened with a low groan, revealing the throne room beyond. Warm orange light spilled across the dark stone floor, cast by the lava flowing far beneath the fortress. The air was heavy with heat and the faint, constant rumble of the volcano.
Fluxion entered first, followed by the remaining members of the Conspiracy who had managed to flee with him. They looked exhausted from the journey, carrying only what they had been able to take with them.
At the far end of the room sat Queen Cynikka upon her throne. Several guards stood along the walls, silent and watchful. Among them was one of Infernus' newer Peacekeepers, Rerir, who had been ordered to remain in the throne room as part of the royal guard.
The Queen's eyes settled on the newcomers.
“Fluixon. You asked to speak with me. You will have your chance. Explain why you and your companions have come to Infernus.”
Rerir stood rigidly where he'd been placed, his hands resting behind his back. His expression remained impassive, though his eyes followed Fluxion carefully.
So that's him. He'd heard enough about the man already. The assassinations. The Conspiracy. The chaos he'd left behind on Pandora.
Doesn't look like much. Still, Rerir didn't underestimate him. Men like this rarely survived by being harmless. His orders were clear, however. Don't speak unless spoken to.
So he kept his mouth shut and watched.
Fluxion stepped farther into the throne room, his eyes briefly moving across the guards before settling on the Queen. He could feel their suspicion. Understandable. He'd probably be suspicious of himself too.
“I won't waste your time pretending I'm innocent, Your Majesty.”
His voice was calm despite the exhaustion beneath it.
“I've killed people. I've manipulated governments. I've done things I won't pretend were clean.”
He paused, glancing briefly toward the massive windows where the red glow of the volcano illuminated the darkness outside.
“But Pandora wants me dead. And if you want to know why I came here, I'd rather tell you the truth than insult you with some carefully rehearsed story.”
Fluxion looked back at Cynikka.
“I am asking for sanctuary. In return, I'll tell you everything I know.”
Whether she considers that worth anything is another matter.
For several seconds, the throne room remained silent.
The distant rumble of the volcano filled the space between them. Cynikka studied Fluxion without immediately answering. Rerir remained at his post, watching the fugitive with an expression that gave away little. Finally, the Queen leaned back against her throne.
“Then speak.”
