Emperor Clovis VI (T2) Homeworld: Charon
Background:
Emperor Clovis VI was never to be monarch- being the fourth-born son of his family, he was expected to be a support to his eldest brother and heir. But when his second-eldest brother died in combat, and the eldest died childless (the only candidate was a bastard), and as the third born had become too devoted to his calculations to be a proper leader, the man who would be known as Clovis VI was seen as the only viable option.
Although taking up a role that he was never prepared for, Clovis set into his duty with steely determination and a sense of destiny. Under his watch he expanded the conscript New Model Army, and has furthered the reach of Imperial power deep into Fortuna-Sphere space. For now, at least, he is wary of the great game turning into an all-out war. Given time, the seeds of victory should sprout and vanquish the enemies of Charon so that they may continue in their glorious mission of re-civilization.
Aspects:
Born into power
My brother died defending the Honor of the Realm
Responsibility before pleasure
Those who do not appreciate fine food and liquor likely have other defects
Talk is for courtiers
The Empire for a decent man!
Emperor by the Grace of Providence Clovis of Charon, sixth of his name, Protector of Queequeg, Prince of Montague, Priest King of Castor and Pollux, Cyberknight of Charon Prime, Defender of the Ancient Order of Calculation, Scion of House Merovin

Background:
UNA was raised in a creche on Space Station Moreau, where she was raised with her genetic sisters. As she grew, UNA displayed impressive feats of agility and power unmatched by her sisters. At age 9 she was moved to station Artemis for further training, separated from her sisters who were 're-purposed' elsewhere. On station Artemis she was given further training in gymnastics and athletics and the four R's of standard education, as well as being tested in her unique sensory abilities. She bonded with an older male instructor as well, who enjoyed petting her soft fur while she slept. One day he advanced to petting her in places that she would rather NOT be petted, and she immediately rewarded him with a nasty slash of her claws across his face. The instructor was taken to Fortuna for reconstructive surgery, whereas UNA was transferred to Training Center Athena for advanced education. At Athena UNA was given additional training in military tactics, weapons, and graduated with top scores in Advanced Recon at the age of 15. Due to her reputation as well as a comprehensive case-file, there were no further 'petting' issues there. After graduation UNA's contract was sold to the Susano-0 Security Guild. She quickly became a rising star under her field leader, Breon Massimo. UNA found herself drawn to Breon and begin sneaking off to his quarters at night to cuddle with her CO since a.) he was warm and b.) he smelled really good. She also didn't mind how Breon petted her in the least, and the two soon became lovers.
UNA is now an integrated part of both her squadron and the larger Susano-0 security team. They have become her pride, and with Breon and his band of mighty hunters at her side UNA feels happy for the first time in her short life.

Background:
Thomas Sinclair Savage was born in Sudsburshire, a tiny and ancient village on Charon. Wanting better things for their son than village life could offer, Thomas was sent away to the prestigious Alcides Boarding School for further education. The boys there were not kind to the country bumpkin, and young Tom learned to earn with his fists what respect his background and station would not.
Returning home for a family gathering, he met and was instantly smitten by his beautiful and vivacious cousin, Carann Savage-Carr. But a man without prospects cannot marry, so he chose a military career and signed up with the Emperor's Rifle Company XXII - Janus. But wedded bliss was not long for his to enjoy, as soon he was shipped off the remote Montague to put down the Pithian Mutiny.
It was on Montague that he learned the true face of war. Any illusions that 0.10c novels might have sold him back on Charon died in the soggy jungles of Montague, where the environment itself was the greatest enemy and survival was the greatest victory that one could claim.
Disillusioned and weary of war, he looked forward to the break that a diplomatic mission to Castor seemed to offer. But in the middle of talks his company was ambushed, leaving Thomas the only survivor. Wandering alone in the desert, the half dead stranger in a strange land was captured by the Slavers of Rahw'rd, where he was trained to fight and gloriously die in the gladiatorial arena.
Impressed by his success in a death-match against a fierce ranxerox brute, the Sorceress Rihanna considers adding Thomas to her harem of male consorts. Within the palace Thomas meets the beautiful slave-girl Alisa, who assists him in their mutual escape.
Holing up in cave, on the run and taking shelter from violent storm, Alisa reveals that she is really Princess Alisandre of Kathoon, exiled and sold into slavery by her vicious great-uncle Rasque. She tells Thomas that she has never been with a man before, but she has chosen him to be both her first lover and first champion. Being a gentleman, Tom decides to accept both challenges with an equal measure of enthusiasm.
With a finely-crafted sword and his hand and beautiful princess by his side, Tom Savage has been transformed from a defeated warrior from a alien world to a champion - A Warlord of Castor!
