Andromeda is a galaxy of growing influence. Previously ruled by the evil Vartekain Empire, their retreat to become a Vestigial Empire allowed other empires to expand and take their place, eventually giving rise to pan-galactic administrations such as the Andromedan Galactic Commonwealth and its successor the Pan-Andromedan Ecumene. The most influential of these being the ancient Draconid Imperium, the enigmatic Divinarium and the war-focused Brood of War.

Brood Of War
A militant, socialist civilization dominated by a reptilian species called Zazane, and ruled by strict laws of honour and meritocracy. While one of the Commonwealth's founders, the death of Tyraz Breek has fractured it into a hundred fiefdoms. The region the Brood dominated is currently known as the "Red Zone" on account of the widespread anarchy.
- Alien Blood: Zazane blood is generally black and mud-like.
- Green Rocks: Shidium, the main Brood material used in most of its industries and weapons.
- Low Culture, High Tech: The Brood is described as a "neo-medieval" society
Tyraz Breek
- The Atoner: All he wants is to be redeemed for his nature as a descended being. Despite lamenting this will never happen, many aliens have expressed he is a good person.
- Angst: His people hate him, he has a vengeful god after him and his first son has Xhodocto heritage. He has a lot to be depressed about.
- Bad Powers, Good People: A decent if broken man who simply wants a happy life, all the while possessing the ability to burn people and turn into a gigantic demon that doesires only to kill and destroy anything in sight.
- Berserk Button: He he has quite a few, several of which can cause him to Hulk Out.
- Cool Sword: His characteristic warsword is a BFS 4-meter long monster given to him by the Xhodocto themselves. It throws ribbons of fiery energy when you slash with it.
- Covered in Scars: "Quite a few marks" is something of an understatement, they also glow when he gets proper angry.
- Cursed with Awesome: Thanks to being a descended being he cannot die, his wounds heal instantly, he possesses strength far beyond mortal capacity and has survived nuclear blasts at ground zero and when he gets angry enough he becomes a Person of Mass Destruction. And boy does he wish he could be normal. He lives in a Martyrdom Morality culture and laments he will never find someone stronger than him. Other Zazane fear him because he could not control himself and that tends to stick among Zazane.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Poor guy just never got a break.
- Enemy Within: Descension empowered his sense of instinct, and turned it into a split personality that wants to kill him and take over his body.
- Fun Size: At 6ft tall he is abnormally short for his species, but he's also the smallest of the Commonwealth Highlords
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: When his eyes flash yellow, think of it as a warning sign that he might turn into a towering demon.
- Hulking Out: When angry enough he turns into a demonic version of himself the size of a tower block that is really. Really angry.
- Papa Wolf: To pretty much anyone he considers a friend. Particularly Arsac, Iovera and Uriel although all three are quite capable of defending themselves.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Iovera is almost twice as tall as him.
Draconid Imperium
The oldest of the Commonwealth's founders and arguably the oldest state in the Ecumene. The Imperium is an ancient and powerful military force, ruled by majesty through the Draconis.
- Ancient Astronauts: There are hints they observed and possibly influenced pre-spaceflight humanity.
- Badass Army: It has one of the largest if not most formidable militaries in Andromeda.
- Crystal Dragon Jesus: Paragavatus Divinum and to a lesser extent, the following of Drakon's path.
- Crystal Spires and Togas: The core worlds are as fancy as downtown Dubai or Tokyo combined with a touch of Coruscant.
- Cultural Posturing: Their obsession with history sophistication naturally lend this.
- Decadent Court: The grand game of intrigue played among the aristocracy.
- Dinosaurs Are Dragons: Draconis themselves are western-style dragons with very dinosaur-like features. That and they are believed to be related to the Capricornians.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Detractors love to paint the Imperium
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Essentially a mix of the British and Roman Empires.
- Hegemonic Empire: It can be argued that they basically control everything that goes on in Inner Andromeda and much of the Ecumene.

- The Cutie: For a Draconis she's unusually sweet.
- Ermine Cape Effect: She is always wearing some sort of finery either on royal visits or around the palace.
- The Heart: Perhaps one of the most open Draconis to giving comfort or reassurance.
Uriel

The Imperium's highest authority. The head of an ancient bloodline over 100,000 years old and an experienced soldier with roughly 210 years of combat experience.
- Badass Normal: Out of the Commonwealth's triumvirate, he's the only one who doesn't have supernatural powers.
- Cultured Badass: Just as capable of discussing history, political rhetoric and foreign culture as he is leading armies or fighting super-soldiers one-on-one.
- Berserk Button: Never bring harm to Alessa unless you want to suffer his wrath.
- Nanomachines. particularly the self-replicating kind.

- The Greatsword given to hi mby Hel'Bre'K glows white-hot when pulled from its sheath.
- The Emperor: Type 4. A rare example of a benevolent Western-style emperor.
- Evil Counterpart: The Realities Altered arc Paragon's Descent introduces us to a Uriel who inherited the same powers as Tyraz but had a serious case of Sanity Slippage and A God Am I. "Evil Uriel" made a mainstream cameo in the false ending to the Second Boeralis Galactic War.
- A Father to His Men: He would happily take a bullet for his men.
- Genius Bruiser: A dedicated athlete and one of the architects behind two intergalactic alliances.
- God-Emperor - One of the few non-supernatural examples in the universe. Qualified because there are trillions of people in Andromeda who consider him as an exemplary figure of a Draconis.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Uriel's signature battle armour is coated with an ivory-white metal and detailed with a ludicrous amount of gold for trim and all kinds of decorative patterns.
- Hidden Depths: Uriel does very well in hiding a side of him that wants to carve everything in his way into little pieces.
- The Patriarch: The leading face of Andromeda and father of 20.
- A Protagonist Shall Lead Them: Many gigaquadrant dignitaries perceive him as the galaxy's best chance of unification.

The Divinarium
A highly advanced theocratic civilization, led by a species of humanoid rodents called the Radeons.
- Big Brother Is Watching You: The Divinarium's society is all about control; everybody's being watched.
- Dark Is Not Evil: The Ecclesial Navy's ships are all black, but its officers are the good guys and are generally nice (unless we are talking about Venoriel).
- Fantasy Counterpart Culture: An odd mixture of various Asian and Eastern European cultures, including, but not limited to, Greece, Russia, Israel, the Arab Khalifate, Imperial China and India.
- Light Is Not Good: However, being a civilization centered around faith, the Divinarium also uses light-themed symbolics in their culture as well.
- Portal Network: The Divinarium's teleportation technology is very advanced to say the least, to the point that traveling from planet to planet is about as trivial as traveling from house to house.
- You Dirty Rat!: Inverted and played with. Radeon society is generally quite sanitary, moralistic and aescetic. But their history is littered with decadent figures, political strife and all flavours of subterfuge.
- Religion is Magic: Subverted. The Radeons use Psychic Powers a lot, but they are unrelated to their faith.
Iovera Menoriam
"Never again shall the genocide of my people repeat. Never again."
Clericarch of the Divinarium, Iovera is a fair, quiet and Reasonable Authority Figure who only wishes for the suffering of her people to end.
- Angst: Hands down the most worry-laden of the Andromedan Highlords. Her husband may worry about the various threats to his sanity and form, but she worries about the fate of the universe.

- Seers: During her first encounter with Tyraz, she had a mental flash and saw The two of them together with two young children. Twelve years later and...
- Who Wants to Live Forever?: From her mannerisms, it is likely that she would prefer the idea of growing old.
Quendor Telhao
Son of Priomarch Quendor and arch demiurge Geroniel, Quenor is the first officer of the Cool Starship The New Dawn. Unlike his conservative and duty-bound parents, Quendor is young, brash, stubbourn and prone ot defying orders, doing what he thinks is best. Despite this unpredictable track record, he still became the second-in-command of one of the first prototype vessels fo the New Dawn era.
- Berserk Button: Don't take pot-shots at his mother.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: No one really congratulates him when he does something that ends up with the crew having the upper hand, probably because he often defied orders and put his life in danger to do so. Like the rest of the crew, he got labeled KIA back home for defying Vesperon's orders
- The McCoy: To Beltharon's Spock and Arnas' Kirk.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: He's not really one for following the masses.
- Parental Abandonment: Genoriel was thought killed during the Second War of Twilight while he was just a child while his father was a military man who would spend long stretches of time away from home.

Laurinn Ma'Fest
Former spymaster for the Divinarium. Laurinn rose to prominence as Jaharan's closest colleague shortly before the Jaharani Crusades, even after Jaharan's death Ma'fest believed wholeheartedly in the Clericarch's vision. He spent a lifetime trying to undermine Iovera's power and temporarily took control when she disappeared. When he was discovered, he was stripped of his title by Iovera and banished, but not before being Descended by Tyraz.- Cool and Unusual Punishment: Getting descended can be a mixed blessing depending on who you are. Ma'Fest however considered it a Fate Worse than Death.
- The Dragon: To Jaharan, exposing Telfar when he caught wind of the latter's doubts in the mad clericarch.
- Evil Chancellor: When he was right-hand to Iovera.
- Faux Affably Evil: He can be a gentleman when he wants to, and showed reluctance when offered the role of regent. It was all pretend.
- Jerkass: He's known across the user community as "Exarch Dick."
- Patriotic Fervor: Did all kinds of really creepy and suspicious things for the sake of doing what he thought was right for his country.
- Opportunistic Bastard: If he had not been escaping an Xhodocto attack on Vendespode, he might not have found Iovera's resistance movement on Sanctuarum. Everything beyond that was a mix of tabs on everything with an army of spies and an ear very close to the ground.
- Punished with Ugly: Some attributed his youth for his age to his zeal. When Tyraz descended him however, he shriveled into an emaciated, burning corpse.
- Really 700 Years Old: He's old enough to have known Jaharan personally, making him elderly by Radeon standards. Yet by the 2700s he looked half the age of contemporaries like Telfar.
- The Spymaster: As Master of the Hereticon
- Villain Has a Point: He wanted to restore Spodism to its Jaharan-era prominence. After he vanished and the Pan-Andromedan Ecumene was founded, there were fears within the Divinarium that it would lose its identity to Ecumene cosmopolitanism.
- Walking the Earth: No one knows where he's gone, but he's not dead.
Jaharan ae-Zamarros
"The name of my family has been covered in so much grime that it would have taken generations of piety and virtue to make it pure again. Fortunately, for us it took one. Myself."
A Clericarch who ruled the Church of Spode between 2388 and 2465. Although dead before the fiction universe canonically begins, his name however is synonymous with crusade and fanaticism. And part of the reason
- Berserk Button: He would fly into a maddened fury over anything he considered remotely impure. Of particular note was that a single drop of Draconid wine would have him demand the entire room containing it locked off and burned.
- Blood Knight: Solidified his power by taking each and every member of his former family and decapitating them personally before a cheering crowd. His opinions of his family suggest he enjoyed making a number of them suffer.
- Broken Pedestal: Telfar was one of his top advisors, who turned against him when Telfar realised Jaharan had gone off the deep end.
- The Chessmaster: His early crusades were a stunning success because he knew exactly how to manipulate both his followers and foreign governments into playing to his tune.
- Cruel Mercy: Believed this was why Telfar refused to kill him. So he leaped out of a window.
- Delirious Misidentification: At the height of his delirium, he mistook an intruding Telfar for the ghost of his father.
- Electronic Eyes: Lost his left eye sometime before taking the throne, partially covering the scar with cybernetics.
- Fantastic Racism: Humans and Draconis are singled out most of all. He considered Humans impudent children who abused the holy places thinking themselves righteous, while he considered the Draconis to embody every single one of life's vices and temptations.
- Freudian Excuse: House ae-Zaemorrs are almost an exaggeration of the excesses and crimes of the Borgias. The tipping point for Jaharan was watching his father bludgeon and burn his first love into a mutilated pile of flesh and bones.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: An exiled and forgotten prince who gained prominence as one of the Holy Empire's most brutal and bloodthirsty dictators.
- He Who Fights Monsters - Such a textbook example that Iovera describes this about him in her text On Virtue and Sin. Chief among his actions being the end he brought to his own family. All under personal justification, they were the worst people he knew to ever exist.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: To himself no less. Jumping out of a window and impaling himself on a spire when Telfar refused to kill him.
- Kill It with Fire: His favorite method of removing something of its impurity.
- Knight Templar: Again, textbook. Iovera mentions him when talking about how those who believe themselves virtuous in their actions will often become the most villainous.
- Posthumous Character: Died a full three centuries before the Tigris War. He was long dead by the time of the War of Ages and is only ever talked about but his shadow haunts the Divinarium to this day.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Pretty much every single thing he does with the Ferrics. From eliminating his depraved family (personal revenge) liberating regions of Spodist majority (social revenge) to laying waste to holy regions on Earth-like Rome, the Levant and Hijaz because of how Spodism was mocked and desecrated (faith-based revenge). A classic tale of a desire for revenge that simply could not be sated.
- Sanity Slippage: Started off as a visionary, but by the time Telfar came to reclaim the throne he was found dressed in a tattered robe, wandering the halls of his palace and muttering to himself. He was practically begging for death.
- Terrified of Germs: Would thoroughly wash, bathe and pray several times a day to keep himself clean and pure.
- Tyrant Takes the Helm: Upon becoming Clericarch, he made a public declaration to completely turn the empire around. Said changes involved executing anyone deemed impure, any accomplice and razing entire planets.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: All he wanted to do was purify the name of his house and his faith and revitalize the old Radeon Empire. The problem was he thought the best way to do that was a very thorough scrubbing and generous amounts of fire.
- Villainous Legacy: Had such a profound effect on the Church's recent history that pretty much anything the Church did in the last two centuries was either to revive his legacy or avoid history repeating itself. Antagonists such as Tadjamad and Laurinn Ma'Fest were profoundly influenced by his ideas while Iovera's predecessor Telfar was an advisor, the dethroner and successor as well as a colleague of Ma'Fest in Jaharan's clergy.
Fordan Empire
Hel'bre'K Ce'So'Va
"Some call me murderer, others call me saviour. The truth is a little of both."
The executive head of the Fordan Empire's military, a member of the ancient and powerful Ce'So'Va bloodline and one deadly mother in close combat.
- The Big Guy: he's four-and-a-half metres tall. Even by Fordanta standards he's enormous.
- Blind Obedience: Hel' is so fanatically dedicated to his duty as Blademaster that he considers any deviation from wholeheartedly serving the Fordan Empire as an unthinkable act.
- Cursed with Awesome: Being of the Ce'So'Va line. Being thrusted into battle can send him into a state of uncontrolled bloodlust where he can very well become little batter than a rabid animal. However it was this curse that allowed him to survive the trial of becoming Blademaster.
- Blood Knight: Make no mistake, this guy loves the rush of battle.
- Fire Sword: His Thermic greatsword
- Four-Star Badass: He's the head of the Fordanta Warrior's Guild and can take on entire squads of lesser soldiers on his own.
- Gentle Giant: When he's not bathing himself in the blood of his enemies, he's quite the gentleman.
- Gorn: Due to the writer, this is how his fights go.
- Hybrid Monster: His genes contain traces of Fordanta primus DNA. The Fordan equivalent of being half human and half Neanderthal.
- Noble Savage: He is deeply proud to serve the Fordan Empire in all it's glory above all other matters, but in battle he's not above ripping bodies open in a primal rage.
- One-Man Army: He's been hot-dropped into the middle of heated battles and often emerges at the end standing on a mountain of bodies. A byproduct of being a mix of two fordanta species and toning his body as far as it will go.
Khaxvis Resurgence
The secret Evil Counterpart to the Draconid Imperium who never fully got over being kicked out of the Imperial Palace.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: They want to reinstate House Khaxvis and make every other alien in the Imperium (including other Draconis) their lessers.
- Reptilian Conspiracy: They have infiltrated the Imperial Government and are known to be even less caring of non-draconis than the Imperium.

- Eldritch Abomination: What he became after discovering a taste for sapient flesh.
- Even Evil Has Standards: To begin with at least, the only children he could live with seeing killed were those born into House Ultanos.
- Kill It with Fire: He met his end when Tyraz burned his body from the inside.
- Large and in Charge: He became ratherer titanic after his defeat on Alcanti, and only got bigger from there.
- Large Ham: He did like to show off, especially whenever he felt he had the upper hand.
- Break Them by Talking: Volkarus loved playing about with Tyraz's head.
- One-Winged Angel: Originally had his own demon form. During the climax of the Red Snake Rising arc he became so monstrous he was only vaguely Draconis.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: You're a mercenary, you failed a mission and you've been brought to Volkarus to report. This is your fate.

Grand Admiral Gnorvi
"The weak must serve the strong. The strong must serve us."
The most recent leader of the Gros before they were taken over by the Corruptus.

The highest military leader of the Stratocracy. A supersoldier created as part of a secret project known as "Project Colossus", Kolger was one of the very few survivors of it. He currently serves under Varugr.
- Fantastic Racism: Formerly, to aliens. Currently, to all non-demons.
- World's Strongest Man: He is the most powerful of his race.
Nomatari Sovereignty
An extragalactic successor to an successful ancient, whose curiosity and nomadic habits brought them to here.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Most species' cultures and ethics sees war as justified as self-defense, but sometimes a personal issue. Even a majority finds eating sapient meat acceptable. Yet despite the idea of cannibalism.
- Combat Pragmatist: To an extent. Most extreme case is the Voratio war, where sun disruptor bombs were used to wipe out the whole Voratio race, empire and any traces of them.
- Enigmatic Minion: When they does happen to be not evil or isn't kicking puppies; or is committing peaceful acts or siding with the "good". The less apparent and more ambiguous their villainy or evilness will become.
- Layered Metropolis: The replacement capital on Tolaai
- Light Is Not Good: Most of their creations have an emphasis towards light. But this has no relation to Light Is Good, they have done evil acts in the name of the light.
- Their modern culture, however, centers largely on light and the stars.
- Space Pirates: Averted. Groups of pirates with nationality or species exclusive to Sovereignty do however exist.
Nomatarian
The majority and key species inhabiting the Sovereignty. Identified as hexa-peded, 4 arms and 2 legs, four-eyed canine-like mammalians with largely wolf appearance, leaning features from foxes and dogs.

Others
Jayraan Kaios

- Artificial Limbs: Has a cybernetic eye after being shot in the head by Larnus, also his skin is woven with armour microfibres after being dunked in a vat of slag.
- Badass Normal: He's weak by human standards (which says something about his physical abilities in the wikiverse), but cunning enough to outsmart and defeat just about anyone.
- Cool Starship: He hand-picked every aspect of his personal starship, and can control the entire thing himself if he needs to.
- Joker Immunity: Larnus will never quite manage to kill him, and Larnus is just too much fun to kill.
- Space Pirates: Basically the figurehead for an entire nation of these, even though he and his personal fleet maintain their status as mercenaries.
- Unstoppable Rage: Minor example, as he still stays (mostly) focused on the mission, but if you piss him off, you won't enjoy the results, and you won't get away.
Dysnomia
D
- The Voice: Her only "appearances" come from communications between her and Yidda.
- Man Behind the Man: Neither Kithanan or Quendor fully realize she's the reason Sakura is staying with them. Although Quendor has suspicions.
- Fiction500: From what we can tell she's reasonably high up in the hierarchy of the Daren Corporation. Which theoretically would make her one of the richest in the galaxy at the time.
Kithanan
Arguably the Anti-Hero protagonist of Dysnomia, Kithanan is a sociopathic, homicidal, impulsive and confident danger to society who goes around slaying demons (or whoever gets in his way)- BFS: He wields a Xhodocto Firesword.
- The Casanova: A very dark version of it. Claims he is fantastic in bed, but combines with Murderers Are Rapists in that it strongly implied that not every conquest was performed with the woman's permission.
- Captain Oblivious: So far does not get the message that Sakura will not sleep with him. Ever.
- Chaotic Stupid: Due to his Healing Factor, he's not exactly averse to doing something that would kill any Muggle instantly.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Despite his sexual habits, he considers prostitutes to be a special kind of filth.
- Guns Akimbo: He possesses two pistols; a Zazane Shidium pistol, and a Divinarium plasma pistol. Both of which have been enhanced with Essence.
- Healing Factor: Effective to the point he deliberately finds more and more ways to abuse his body.
- I'm a Man; I Can't Help It: He makes it pretty damn clear that his libido controls his life. There is no sign at all that he's ashamed of it.
- Lack of Empathy: As well as murder and rape, he has no concerns walking around the Eventide Sorrow stark naked or adjusting his crotch at any moment.
- Slasher Smile: Meets More Teeth than the Osmond Family. When he does this. RUN.
- Really 700 Years Old: He's at least 115 years old, but he looks to be in his twenties by Zazane standards.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Quendor's Blue.
- Shout-Out: His red coat and hat, infernal heritage and twin pistols (of Zazane and Divinarium make) are a blend of Dante from Devil May Cry and Alucard from Hellsing.
- The Social Darwinist: Tends to refer to most mortals such as the Imperium's soldiers as "dogs."
- Sociopathic Hero: "collateral damage" is typical of how he fights. Yet he couldn't care less of the ruins and the death toll he leaves behind.
Quendor
A veteren of the Andromedan War and pilot of the Eventide Sorrow, supposedly inherited from the death of its former captain.- Blind Seer: He cannot see normally on account of having no eyes, and may as well be the voice of reason between Sakura and Kithanan.
- Body Horror: At some point between the present and Dysnomia, Qendor completely lost his eyes. He makes no attempt to hide the mutilation.
- Knight in Sour Armour: He often talks about how crappy the galaxy has become, but deep down still thinks it can potentially be saved. Often scolds Kithanan for claiming such a thing is a lost cause.
- Nostalgia Filter: Longs for the days before the collapse of the Andromedan Galactic Commonwealth.
- Psychic Powers: Abilities include summoning lightning storms, knowing everything that goes on within the Eventide Sorrow, implied to be piloting the ship using this. Despite being young-ish by Radeon standards, his powers are quite significant.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Kithanan's Red.
- Still Wearing the Old Colors: Quendor wears a (somewhat worn) set of armour from when he was an officer in the Guardians of Light. Despite the Commonwealth - guardians included - collapsing almost a century ago.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Quendor and Kithanan are at opposite ends of the morality scale, and it shows.
Septis Ultanos
One of Uriel Ultanos' offspring and probably one of the few decent figures of note still in the galaxy.- Badass Normal: Scenery Porn spares no expense to express how majestic and princely he is. He's also become rather accustomed to dealing with demigods.
- Chick Magnet: If his interactions with Sakura are anything to go by.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Wears a similar brand of armour that his father used to wear.
- Humble Hero: He didn't mind living in a palace-like penthouse while the rest of the Imperium slowly dies. Although he doesn't appreciate seeing golden statues of his father line the foyer.
- Officer and a Gentleman: Treats Sakura as if she were a lady of station and is one of the only characters so far in the setting who has not descended to using shouts and swears.
- Older and Wiser: Prime-era Septis tended to snap whenever Kezoreg called him fat. 100 years on and he shrugs off such comments with a smile.
- Old Friend: He's been friends with Kithanan for many years. He's one of the only mortals Kithanan treats like a person.
- Red Is Heroic: Attached to his armour is a billowing red cloak.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's both a prince and a general. His first appearance was in the form of overseeing a battle with resistance forces.
Tyrus Ultanos
Uriel's youngest-known and most bratty son. An aggressive, abrasive, self-centered beast.- It's All About Me: He chooses his own bedtime despite what anyone says, believes everyone thrown before his family when he's there is there to grovel before him (regardless of real focus) and has gone as far as to bite his older sister with no outward empathy if he's not getting what he wants.
- Enfant Terrible: To Draconis he's a five year old but has a very foul mouth at times who loves watching murder and suffering.
- A God Am I: He's the son of Uriel, he's Descended, and he's completely convinced that all mortal life is vermin compared to him and his family.
- Goo Goo Godike: He's the son of a Badass Abnormal Physical God so its something of a given.
- Hypocrite: Calls Alessa's half-Drallivian daughter a freak despite his own Descension-induced features being twisted enough to perhaps be considered one himself.
Jenvimira Ultanos
One of Uriel's younger daughters. Possibly one of the most disturbing examples too. A powerful, arrogant, self-absorbed enchantress with a penchant for eating mortals and peculiar mutations that are so far unique to her amongst her kind.- I Am a Humanitarian: Her response to hearing 7.4 million POWs had been acquired during one assault was "I smell dinner". She also uses devouring someone whole as punisgment for failure.
- The Baroness: Two things she loves (aside from eating people) are men groveling or serving at her feet and watching as people she doesn't like suffer. Often while maintaining a facade of a graceful woman of high station.
- Brawn Hilda: By Draocnis standards. She's big, muscular, brutish, commanding and even other Draconis consider her having More Teeth than the Osmond Family.
- I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!: Its possible that her fondness for consuming flesh may have become an addiction.
- A God Am I: Like her supernatural siblings, but she prefers subordinates to address her as "goddess".
- Royal Brat: A less extreme case than Tyrus, but not by much.
- Pride: She and Tyrus vie for the title of "most self-absorbed of Uriel's Post-Collapse offspring". Along with other examples of her behaviour mentioned on this page, she considers one of the biggest perks of living as a servant, concubine or eunuch in her personal palace being they get to spend all day every day in her presence.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Takes the idea of "evil reptiles" to a step above her siblings such as possessing a cobra hood and even complex patterns on her body.
- Scaled Up / Eldritch Abomination: Her One-Winged Angel form is essentially a titanic hooded coba with wings, arms and mouths everywhere on her body.
- Smug Snake: She can be very abusive towards her subordinates, even Imperial officials.
Uriel Ultanos
Still the paragon but has somehow gained Descension abilities, he is also the father of some rather sadistic children.- Bad Powers, Good People: So far it seems he's doing his best not to become as nasty a monster as anything from the Dominion of the Xhodocto.
- Cursed with Awesome: He revealed to one frightened politician that he laments some of the simplest things regarding existence; like sleeping or enjoying a good meal, which had been taken away due to his Descension.
- A God Am I: He's the idol of worship in the Imperium as of present, and seems to be comfortable with enforcing the idea.
- Physical God: Perhaps one of the most powerful non-Zazane with Descension shown so far.
- Noodle Incident: So far there has been no explanation as to when or how he became Descended.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: From what has been revealed, he's stooped into literally stomping out rebellions and pitting his enemies against his recent spawn, all in the name of keeping what's left of the Imperium alive.
Yidda/Blossom/Sakura
A Zazane assassin-come-companion of Kithanan who first met him while she was undercover. Unknown to him she has plans in mind for him.- Amazonian Beauty: Everything but her head when she's in her natural 5-metres-tall state, her face included when she morphs into a less conspicuous form. She is a Zazane after all.
- Aura Vision: How she sees.
- Berserk Button: She reacts quite aggressively to being referred to as a dirty whore.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: When disguised in particular, pray you do not discover her bitchy side.
- Cool Car: Until a member of the Core Worlds Syndicate landed on it.
- Dark Action Girl: She's trained as an assassin and and loathes Kithanan. The only reason she hasn't killed him yet is D wants him brought to her alive
- The Grotesque: A mild case, mostly due to the complete lack of eyes.
- Meaningful Name: "Sakura" is the Japanese word for cherry-blossoms. She has quite pink scales.
- Only in It for the Money: The only reason she's following Kithanan is because she's getting double-pay while outside Daren Corporation space.
- In-Series Nickname: Only D has mentioned her true name, to everyone else she's either Sakura or Blossom. The latter can be a Berserk Button because that's the cover name she used as a pole-dancer.
- Stripperiffic: Justified when we first meet her as she was working undercover as a pole-dancer.
- Shapeshifter: Somehow able to transform from a giant-tank-of-a-woman into a less colossal but still athletic physical from.
- Shapeshifter Baggage: While disguised, her weight (or strength) is enough to crack floor tiles.
- Super-Strength: What did she do to that Blessed One that landed on her car? Stomped his head into mush. She was also able to easily lift Kithanan into the air.
Zr'An'Kar
Also known as Kolossus. A cursed Vyro'Ralza and famous agent of the Xhodocto Dominion, who takes pleasure in haunting Kithanan for unknown reasons.- Mysterious Past: Kithanan did something grave to him in the past. Now he haunts him on a regular basis.
