ManFox Fred - Sent to kill the Dragon Minestus, he was cursed and became a manfox manimal. He fell in love with SheFox Alicia and the two eventually defeated the Dragon.

With the revelation of the destruction of his Allaria, the last reason for him returning to his human form. Decided to stay a manfox because his new people needed him more as a manfox than a man. Is the Packleader of the Manimal Nation and is now very comfortable and happy as he is now.

A boy and girl set sired back in the day when.....er.....Manfox Fred barely knew Alcia but was....er .....introduced to her physically by instinct during a full moon.

Had come to like her new body well before meeting her future husband, nonetheless she would have abandoned it and returned to humanity if Fred had still desired it. With Fred's loss of interest in returning, the problem became moot.

Is currently the leader of the Fox clan of the Pack.

Incredibly inventive, she is a genius with things mechanical and responsible for what initially what some mistook for many inventions that were hundreds of years in advance of what should be.....

Tarin Gazin - Was Rift's right-hand dwarf, but now is the King of his clan due to some fancy political footwork by using the gift and promise of the ultra advanced art of Military metallurgy to entice his (and other) dwarven clans to his point of view on things. The two are best buddies even though Tarin has a touch of magic in him which makes him slightly unstable sometimes. But of course this became moot with the passing of the slipgates (since his magic touch was linked to that magical wonder). Tarrin found religion while injured long ago, and with recent events with Diane Walker (an actual...by all appearances.....avatar of the Forge....a Head Dwarven God).....has helped lead his and other clans into a radical transformation of dwarven society to mimic the ideals of Military life (oh voy).

Gloria - Rift's adopted daughter. Her original father had first been kicked out of their land holding when he'd stolen from his neighbors, and then he'd hung when he'd broken into a apathocary's shop to get medicine for his desperately ill child. Rift had defended the man, and fulfilled a promise to the desperate father before he was dragged off to be hung to help her. Rift soon adopted the golden haired child and through the best means available (setting her up at his assistant to be able to get medical benefits.....she still fondly remembers the game of "ink blotter.") Grew up on the mean streets of Wallants so was more "grown up" than most of her peers from elsewhere. Thus was the reason why still just a child, when she saw her Dad being inducted into the ranks of the Champions, she demanded and was accepted along with him.

Now currently a lovely young woman still aiding her dear dad back at Wallants. Her aging stopped at eighteen, and will forevermore wear the body of an eighteen year old.

Anina Thessamer - This is Queen Astra's weapon's trainer who she had developed close feelings for (and vice versa). Almost a mother/daughter relationship. But knowing her place, Anina was able to keep it from going too far. Later in her life as the Aqualarian equivalent of "Man at Arms" for the royal family, she was defeated and captured in battle. Duke Drederigo had her magically transformed into a "toy" of sorts....a plaything. She was magically altered into a hamadryad and her personality altered to something simple, passive, and compliant. Later, her peronality and memories were restored, but she was forevermore a hamadryad. She now looked like a perfect version of herself as a young woman. Later, Queen Astra had her way and the startled Anina found herself adopted as the Astras mother (along with Anina 2). Touch beyond words, she gladly fell into the role and now the Astras have a mother (two actually).

Helena 1 - Helena is Astra's great-aunt. 85 years ago she killed the wizard Horkus but was captured by Zerm and has never been seen again. Which might has well been a good thing. See, scuttlebutt had it, 85 years ago, that Helena had fallen out of favor with Queen Janicesti. How exactly, was unclear, but each and every Helena knew that the chance of actually being able to kill the vile mage known as Horkus the Wicked were slim! Each and every one of them was willing to bet their Daggers Ascension that Janicesti knew this as well. Political intrigue wasn't a new thing, as both Dragon Fred and Frederigo D'Honaire the manfox were in the wont of saying. Each and every Helena secretly agreed with their nonhuman relatives. However, there was no politically right way of avoiding the task (to refuse was tantamount to suicide, political…perhaps even the biological sense). Thus they stayed out of sight and fate unknown, until the year 1501 when she was rescued after Zerm the Unspeakable was slain by Probe and the other goodies. Now, here's the problem. Helena had been in magical stasis for all these years and keep like a prize trophy (a nude living statue to brighten Zerm's throne room), so she hadn't aged any. Age wasn't the factor. The problem was....there were more than one Helenas in the throne room when the adventurers found her! Due to the malfunctioning Slipgates, various analogs were dragged into this reality and placed within the same room. All looked alike, but were of varying height and hair style....but not enough by far to make an intelligent guess at who was the native and who the analog from elsewhere. Indeed, later even the most thorough of scientific and magic techniques can not tell the difference, for these living statues have for too long been residing within the realm of Atlantis....and thus the prolonged exposure to the strange radiations and such down there has erased all tell tale signs of where they have come from. So as what soon became custom in cases like this, they all were welcomed warmly into the family and made as comfortable as possible to help them adjust to world that had changed so much while they slept....and was in the process of changing even more rapidly as we speak! All are brave warrior women who became ambassadors in service to Aqualaria and their great-niece, Queen Astra la Post. Helena 1 became the ambassador to the Elven Nation because she'd been able to make inroads with them even before her getting captured by Zerm.

Helena also make good ambassador since she has a touch of magical ability to detect how "good" or "evil" a person was. Enough to get a general idea at a person's character when dealing with them. Helena 1 and others are included here instead of elsewhere because of their special, unanswered state of just where each really comes from. At least one, for sure comes from Terra Prime....but which one?

Jack - This is the Malbocton boy rescued by the brave ogress, Fre'. He is very young (something like age five), but from what the others can see 9and the young tearful boy tells), his parents were killed earlier that very day by bandits while on a trip to a distant market. Jack had ran and hid, and was overlooked by the bandits as they looted his parents corpses. Later, stumbling about in a tearful daze, he got ensnared in a trap. The rest of the tale for this brown haired moppet is already known by what Fre' told the others in her broken, primitive speech.

Such tragic things still happen in certain parts of Terra Prime, for while it's become more safe....things will never be wholly safe always and everywhere. This is a magical world....not a vapid fairy tale land.

Trilling Blackfeather - There once was an Allarian Duke named Zular from the Alternate Walants Universe 2. He was an evil man who was a master of poisons who killed the Fredrina of his reality when she got too close in her investigations for his comfort. The poisoning was discrete and thought to have been of natural causes. To further allay any suspicions of foul play on his part by his political opponents, he even went to Castle D'Honaire to give respects to the dead and condolences to the grieving mother. Once there, he and the others inside (along with those inside Castle D'Honaire in Alternate Walants Universe 1) got swept to Terra Prime due to a Slipgate malfunction. From there things went downhill for the villain for while he was able to dodge getting fingered for murder and treason by the Alternate Walant's Universe 1 Fredrina (since her proof was on her Zular and not on him)....none of the powers that be believed that he was innocent by any stretch of the imagination. Point in fact so concerned about what future threat Zular might be they stripped him of his aristocratic title and were going to exile him down in Ethiopia as a commoner (a well to do one....but a commoner all the same). Zular was able to slip away from his captors and escape to freedom using a nearby Slipgate terminal. He sought out those of this world who may be able to aid him in his revenge.....but instead they turned upon him. He sought out the ghost of Horkus the Wicked and several of his allies (ghostly and flesh and blood) in the hope that the rampart he'd had with their analogous counterparts of his world could be established in this world as well.

Instead, he found out that his presence was less than welcome. In the course of things they learned of what he'd hope to achieve, and were less than impressed by this young man. Point in fact there was nothing that the young man could offer. Oh, back on his world he'd been a member of the Black Market Cult and thus could have taken over the position of his defunct Terran Prime counterpart.....but one member of Horkus' group felt that that wasn't enough by far. That and the fact that the treachery of Zular actually repulsed this other member. Seen and heard enough of that back when Atlantis fell! There was a heavy price tag for intruding into his and his allies' business. If Zular couldn't pay through one means, then he'd pay through another. Through entertainment value.

Zular began to cast the spell on Zular and the man blacked out.

When he awoke, he was in an unknown forest glen.....and he found himself now an ebony griffin! Knowing full and well the new body that he'd given Zular was ill matched for the arrogant man's psyche, knew that eventually the new griffin would go mad. Zular had also transformed Zular into an ebony griffin as a jest. For the rest of his life, Zular would be trapped in the form of the creature who resembled the black griffin found upon the heraldry symbol of his worst enemy, House D'Honaire.

However, the evil mage didn't figure on the prophecy that the griffins had about an ebony griffin uniting them all and leading them to greatness. They took Zular in and appointed him as their king (or their "chief of chiefs" as called him). He took the name of Trilling Blackfeather and took two mates in a ceremony that sealed the bond between him and his new people. But also in the course of events things proved too much for the evil man's mind and it was split in two. One part was the old personality was still Zular....easily enough. Let's call him Dark Trilling for now. The other part was the public persona he displayed to the world at large....a noble, kind, and good person. Terra Prime being the odd place it is.....multiple personality disorders are a bit different from the mundane. In truth, in this instance a new entity was born....let's call him Light Trilling for now.

One part wasn't aware of the other....but it would be only a matter before they became aware of each other. When that happened it would be only a little while before the fight between the two would drive the mind they resided in permanently insane.

Eventually, this process got accelerated by a close encounter with an evil Time Lord....just in time for Light to meet Dark right in the middle of an assassination plot. Only through the ministrations of the Doctor (Dr. Who) was Dark Trilling driven from the griffin body, leaving only Light Trilling in possession of it.

Still unaware of his true origins (still seeing himself as being placed upon this world by his gods to unite his people into a new nation), the noble creature was incredibly grateful to the Time Lord and sacrifices a stag on holy holidays in thanks....to bring the blessing of the griffin gods to this wonderful Time Lord.

Since Light Trilling came about on Terra Prime, his bios is posted here.

Ke'lan - This is the oldest being on the face of the planet known as Terra Prime, something over ten thousand years old. Came from the days before Atlantis came in and started making war on all the non-human nations. Ke'lan was a crown prince of the olden Elven Nations at the time. Was a Paladin to his gods and an acomplished and talented mage. Saw the danger that Atlantis presented and tried to get his arrogant parents to see the wisdom of uniting with the other races against the threat. His efforts fell on deaf ears, however.

Survived the fall of his nation to Altantis and was able to hide from detection from the invaders until the fall of Atlantis. Was trapped inside the forest that the capital city resided in, the sole survivor of a magical mishap brought about by an arrogant (and now dead) Atlantian mage. Found that he couldn't leave the confines of the forest and the forest itself had taken on a malign sentience of it's own.

Getting increasingly desperate of getting free by some means, Ke'lan used the only means he had. He'd been working on creating a living puppet that could be controlled from afar (a Proxy he called it) and would have used it to spy upon the Atlantians.....if he'd gotten the chance. Now, however, he was going to create a Proxy to be able to go outside the Forrest while his body rested in magical hibernation. He called this Proxy by the name Grailing, an elfin ranger, and hid his real identity from the surviving elves, figuring that the resulting government that would eventually come to replace what had been lost would be far superior than the relic he'd be. Had lost faith in his gods and the old ways due to seeing his mighty nation falling and wanted to wipe the past and live for the future. Due to a overbearing desire to escape the Forrest in any manner, didn't take the time to instill the ability to cast magical spells in his new Proxy body (which was the size of the Servant cast....the farthest away from the Ruling caste that he'd come to hate). Well worth the time saved, for it gave him the means so much quicker to be able to step his outside the Forrest and into the surrounding world.

Thus began his odyssey.

Over the years he came to know many people and see many events through his Proxy. Though his actual mind and body was still in the Forrest......he was able to reach out through Grailing and interact with the outside world. Over the course of things he learned many things about the odd creatures known as human beings. Though not totally understanding them, he saw them as having potential. Good enough to inherit the world that the elven race seemed doomed to depart from sooner or later (for some reason the elven......ability to reproduce had been sapped by a large part.....to were elven numbers kept falling.....and falling). He even found a replacement for an emptiness in his life once filled by his now departed belief in elven gods (found it in a strange human religion, though didn't advertise this fact). He even was able to befriend a dwarf or three along the way through life.

Some elves would call him the perfect example of what an elf should be.

Other would say quite the opposite.....

Then, after returning from a LONG meditative retreat and discovering things had radically changed due to the coming of the Lizards, the Phage, and then the Orcs....."Grailing" was soon approached by an old dwarven friend, Tarin Gazin, to see if he could go into the very Forrest his real body lay (not that Tarin knew that) and rescue one of the Astras (with children) that seemed to had gotten lost in a escape from her dwarven (now orcen) kidnappers. Terin knew that "Grailing" was one of the few people who'd been able to navigate through the fell forest and get out! Even able to get those lost inside this Forrest out safely. Smiling the elf went, willing his Proxy to magically come back into the Forrest, and nearly stumbled right into them as he turned his Proxy around! Surprising enough that some other elves had found Astra and her young ones (riding a large wolf, of all things).....but the shocker of the day was that one elf (named Elrondir).......knew Grailing's true identity! Worse, he even said that name aloud! This wasn't what Ke'lan wanted. He wanted to stay out of the limelight. He wanted to let he people go on without a relic from the past ruling them (and they'd come running to him for him to rule them......thus was the effect he'd still have on his people). They'd recognize "Grailing" as Ke'lan wherever he went, for the sound of his name spoken aloud......told every elf alive on Terra Prime who he was and what he looked like! But the most shocking thing was that Elrondir told him exactly why the elven numbers were on the decline! This very Forrest was sapping the elven vitality! Elrondir (back when he was still called Seeker) had come across a dying (radiation poisoned) analog of Ke'lan who'd come too late to this knowledge to do the elves of that Terra any good. All that it would take, Ke'lan realized, would be to destroy the magical nexus of the Forrest....and not only would the Forrest return to normal.....but elven vitality would return to levels not seen since the fall of the Elven Nation of Ke'lan's time! The only problem was that this would......kill him in the process. The only means he had at his disposal to destroy the nexus would surely destroy his original body. Wasn't like he could live in his Proxy.....it was a puppet....after all. Besides, the Forrest had heard.....

The Elves start as they sense the danger approach a split second before Astra 4 sees what is happening.

The dark shadows around them, while a bit eerie even in the light of day...suddenly MOVE. They move and are reaching for them....as are shadows reaching for a silently floating elfin figure (who'd stand a good foot taller than a regular elf....since Ke'lan is the last of the Ruling Caste).

"Uh guys?" B'elanna whispers hoarsely, suddenly wishing for a phasor.....or a quick beamout by the Voyager for her and her friends.

"Battlestar....it's time," Ke'lan says sadly, knowing what must be done.

His Grailing proxy collapses as the figure in the alchemical bath that hasn't moved in thousands of years, but has been preserved in the arcane brime, jerks to awakefulness!

Elf quick hands reach out and pull forth the ancient Elfish magical sword, a weapon that was made to serve one....and only one master. The Battlestar is only for Ke'lan....and Ke'lan is the only one who could use it for what happens next.

Ke'lan jumps forth from the brime, ragged clothing spraying brime everywhere and causing the shadows to retreat in pain for moment where the alchemical fluids touch.

Wasting no time for words, no time for anything but what must be done, Ke'lan breaks his sword across his knee. Sword, magically strengthened to only break deliberately in such a move, gives way and then blows Ke'lan's body, the Tree, and the Essence of the forest to blazes. The Tree, an arrogant tribute by Ke'lan's mother in a bid for more power over those she ruled along with her husband, rains down upon an acre of territory in kindling the size of toothpicks!

The shadows collapse in on themselves, leaving the elves and the humans looking around anxiously...and then sighing in relief. A groan from Grailing draws them over to him, and he opens his eyes....and looks mightly confused.

"I...should be dead," he whispers as he feels his Proxy body. "But.....my original body is dead. Why am I in my proxy?"

Good question, but is put on hold as Ke'lan (a.k.a. Grailing) tells what he's done. He's about to point out his way to where Astra 4's home is (now that the Forest is no longer interfering with travel), when there's a heavy THUD before them!

A black scaled dragon's head leans it's way down through the trees, and cries out in joy at finally having been able to magically home in on Astra and the children.

Turns out that Ke'lan made a mistake in constructing his Proxy. A bond over time developed between Proxy body and soul to where the soul automatically snapped into the Proxy body, just like it would the one that it had found itself in at birth.....

Ke'lan would forevermore wear the body of Grailing (not that he minded overly much).

Soon he was approached by his would be subjects and bowing to the inevitable, Ke'lan became the Emperor of the newly reunited Elven Nation.

Soon, on a visit down to Ethiopia to participate in the newly formed United Nations he what would prove to be his future wife. Elven hearts being what they are, there was no arguments. Elven hearts being like they are, the process was swift and irresistible.

Soon became a Champion in the course of things to the Rules and Agents. Part in order to be able to save Fred 8 from Thaobath. Part in payment to make sure that his nation lasts as long as he'd last as a Champion. All the rules of those nations who's rulers became Champions had similar terms of enlistment....and all got it.

Ke'lan is a silver haired elf with shoulder length hair and prefers to be dressed in simple green tunic, pants, and cape (green seems to be the in thing with elves on Terra Prime) vice the robes of state that his aghast courtiers kept insisting he wear.

Is the proud father of two beautiful elven boys.
