| The Island of California off the coast of Nevada was oriignally part of Earth's United States of America until the great Earthquake of 2385 which caused an upheaval of the tectonic plates separating the landmass that was the state of California and creating the Nevada Mountains pictured in the background. California now serves as the capitol of the Allied Continents of Earth or ACE for short. Washington DC is the former capitol of the United States but after an attack in 2077 by a Villain known as Maneater which killed millions most of the city was decimated beyond recovery. Now Los Angeles serves as the Capitol of not only the United States but all of Earth. |

| In my Universe there are three distinct types of Dragons...Serpents such as the Coatl with serpentine bodies, Drakes which have fore legs, and Wyverns which do not. This dragon is the latter...only Irghiz is a Unique dragon...with unusual powers. Irghiz can alter his shape and size to any type or normal reptile including a miniature version of himself thus appearing harmless, His eyes can see through any type of darkness natural or magical, He can understand/speak any spoken language,Like all true dragons Irghiz can breath fire...if you call super-heated plasma fire. Irghiz is also immune to all forms of damage save for Magical weapons with at least thrice enchanted. Weapons specifically designed to harm dragons DO NOT work on Irghiz as he is technically a Dragon. Irghiz requires neither air, food or water to survive but hunts regardless. Irghiz cannot be permanently slain by mortals regardless of the weapon/method used, and though it can be killed temporarily he will return to his master's side the following morning...even if slain mere moments before dawn. His claws are considered 5th power enchanted for purposes of what he can harm Irghiz is incredibly fast and possesses all known magical means of travel and can travel to his mater's location without any chance of error. Irghiz provides can pass his invulnerability to his rider so long as they remain in physical contact riders do not receive Irghiz's resurrection ability. Irghiz believes that to ride upon his back is the highest of honors and he will NOT accept anyone who does not recognize this and respond accordingly thus pandering to his ego. Ighiz can repel (instantly and often tot heir death) anyone he does not wish to have upon his person...save for his master who has absolute control. There is no method of causing Irghiz to turn upon his master as he is simply incapable of doing so. The only way to reason with irghiz is to convince him that whatever one is trying to do will benefit his master...details of how he is helping his master are a must. In air to air combat Irghiz can move at speeds comperable to the fastest sub-light craft in space Irghiz is fully capable of warp speeds using magical means. How does he do all of this? Irghiz is the one an only Scion of the god Apophis...Gods like to travel in style. |

| So it wasn't until the final render that i realized that this mount looks remarkably like Toothless the Night Fury from "How to train your dragon." I don't wan't the flack from that so it's back to the old drawing board...still it's a pretty cool dragon and it'll make a nice addition to my universe in a another capacity. |

| So I have begun tinkering with iRay... I am impressed and always have been with it's performance just not its render times. I have managed to get it to under a half hour with results like this. What I really want is the ability to manipulate the lighting which is difficult at best. I know how to turn off the default light dome, but I don't know how to manipulate light intensity/distance/falloff for placed lights. Soon it will be mine to manipulate Mawaahahahahahahaaaa. |

| Travel between Galaxies is possible for civilians only via Intergalactic Highway. The rings are maintained through taxes and many inter-galactic peace treaties. Each ring uses a system of tractor beams and space warp fields to accelerate a vessel faster and faster as the vessel travels. Therefore the farther a vessel travels the faster it travels to reach it's destination. computations are also made to progressively slow the vessel as well. All ships travel through these highways do so not under their own power essentially being on autopilot, and using one's engines doesn't help the process along. During transit the rings are responsible for navigation and speed and ships often pass one another within the ring. Should a ring become disabled all sequential rings will adjust to compensate and any ship stranded will be retrieved immediately free of charge and rerouted as soon as possible. The system is incredibly efficient with only 45 fatal crashes withing the 330 years since it went into full operation and none within the last 150 years. It is important to note that due to the relatively small size of the rings, that they would not make a good transit method for an invasion this is intentional and all parties involved in their maintenance are satisfied that they are large enough to accommodate trade/shipping. The largest ring set travels to the Sathari Galaxy and takes roughly 3 days to traverse. At every port ships are rigorously inspected by customs for contraband, drugs, and other illegal smuggling. Vessels are randomly selected for boarding and refusal usually results in seizure of the vessel or destruction in the event of resistance. The "On Ramps" are much better armed than most battle cruisers having roughly ten times the firepower, and are incredibly well armored it is said that if just one were mobile it would be a major threat to nearly any fleet, Thankfully they are not. The customs officers are assigned by a special branch and have officers from ever region of space that they reach. Those officers report directly to a special committee and like the legendary sentinels have "Above the law" status in the performance of their jurisdiction (ie the station). allegations of corruption are taken seriously and any such abuse of power or corruption is dealt with severely. Very often small trade stations or outposts will be established nearby in an attempt to provide goods and services to travelers. The fees for traveling along these highways are based on vehicle size and homeworld which has led to some debate over fees. |

I take the Wraith to visit an old friend on a distant colony in the outer Traverse in the MIlky Way and I'm hoping to have a nice visit. I hop out of the cockpit and cross the gangway and right there, next to the doorway what do I see? I giant blue police box...I know who that is and all I can think is Dear gods not him. Smug self righteous son of a...Why here why now? The last time we met all had to say was a bunch of condescending remarks about how I am a soldier and how my first thought is to kill what I don't understand...Galifreyans think they know everything. Nevermind that he's singlehandedly responsible for killing more living beings than I have in 300 years. Besides, he can't even claim moral high ground...Elves are the first race, the elders of the universe. Time Lords bah, meddling around with time and space, it was them who got everyone sucked into the Time wars with the Daleks...nobody every mentions that we were there too. Time lords think themselves near immortal, long lived is not the same as immortal. But I digress, I know if he's here then trouble isn't far behind.
"Well," I mutter switching the ammo in my pistols to lethal rounds, "I never killed anyone who didn't tryo kill me first and I'm quite certain the good Doctor is gonna find something that's gonna try to kill me."
It doesn't take long before I see his companion, always a mortal Solaran, and female most of the time. This one is cute too. Short little brunette with a cute face and big brown eyes. The doctor himself could've changed faces by now but I'd recognize either his senility or arrogance anywhere. However, I'm just gonna scan for dual heartbeats or that blasted sonic device he carries. Sound I mean seriously who uses sonics like that? Neural linked yet? I hope it's Daleks, god I love putting holes in their metal asses...they always seem so surprised every time I do it, like they cornered the market on deflection shielding and energy weapon....Exterminate exterminate!!! Ugh they're always yelling with those synthetic voices of theirs. Ooh I just had a thought, CYbermen...I love shooting those guys too. Not as Badass as say the Borg but same MO, assimilate. Godslayer in hand I keep the blade retracted and ghost the Doctor's Companion, she'll lead me right to him. I'll let you know how this turns out. Shh be vewy vewy quiet I hunting Doctow's huhuhuhuhuhuhuuuuuuuuh...sorry. |

I have dropped the Lillun back off to Harley and of course thanked him for loaning it to me so I could pick up my new ship. I have named her the SS Sable and while were safe in Sathari space I'll have her refitted. I have asked Harley to loan me some of the crew from the Lillun temporarily while I hunt down a new crew of my own and along with all I'm doing for the ship he obliges with a smile. It's good to have life long friends. The layout of the Sable's bridge is going to take some getting used to but it's not too drastically different from the Lillun or the Runt. I can't wait to get moved in to my new quarters and get a new FTL drive put in her, I coordinate everything with Harley's people and Find that the Emperor himself has assigned me a full time Psi-Mage as my personal guard along with a small compliment of troopers which he says is customary for anyone leaving a high ranking position in the empire. So I have some muscle on the trip. The Psi-Mage is a Hathhiss By the name of Shrrisa and she's one tough looking customer I think I'm going to like her. Once my bags are packed and I've said my farewells I head straight to the Solar system destination: Earth.

| After many tweaks and adjustments this is the final version of the inside of Obsidian's helmet..Iron-Man style...Iron-Man is sorta the standard when it comes to power armor characters and I've taken a lot of ques from that character when developing my own. I never wanted Obsidian to fly, as an aspect of his armor. Jump high yes, Levitate yes, survive high altitude falls yes, but not fly. flight indicates that your character is no longer street level and is ready to be a SUPERHERO and since Obsidian is a mercenary I couldn't do flight...now I have no problem adding a flight pack later which is perfectly fine. In that respect Obsidian is more like Batman...so think of him as a combo between Iron-Man and Batman. Sorry for the rant LOL No I'm not. |

On a hunch I ask the Black Mantis to let me take a look at the vault where Parata's head was kept. I am given the passcodes and various other necessities required to enter without getting killed. I am also given free access to the security tapes. However, there's a stipulation...the imperial grand inquisitor known as "Shadowblade" has been assigned to accompany myself and Spydra during our investigation. He's a hot head but scary....reminds me of a movie sub-villain...he doesn't say much to anyone as we enter the vault but they're visibly intimidated by his presence.
"I am not sure what you hope to find that my investigators could not. I assure you we were very thorough."
His tone is derisive, and it's clear he's offended by our presence but he won't disobey the emperor, not if he wants to live very long anyway.
There's no prints, no trace of bypass equipment none of the standard tricks of the trade that professional thieves use. What amazes me the most is the sheer quantity of magical wards in place, with an equal number of passwords to get through them. There's no way anyone could get the passwords necessary to get through here without inside knowledge.
"Who was the guard on duty?"
"That would be Tarar, he is awaiting summary execution until YOUR investigation is completed."
"I'd like to question him please."
"I'll arrange it."
As soon as the inquisitor is out of earshot I grab hold of Spydra's arm and pull her close to me. In a hushed tone I tell her what my worst fear of this investigation is, and the only conclusion I can come to based on the evidence.
"Spydra, as much as I hate to say this, I think this is an inside job."
"The empirical evidence, or lack thereof, would seem to support your conclusion but who do you think could possibly be a prime suspect?"
"Hell I have no idea, but if I'm right, and they catch on to what we know the situation could prove very....dangerous."
"Then we keep our suspicions to ourselves?"
"Yes, and I know this goes against your faith, but I need you to keep your mistress in the dark as well. No one can know what we suspect."
Some time later, we're brought into an interrogation room with Tarar. We leave our weapons at the door as Tarar is something of a well trained killer as is the norm with all of the citizens of Mantis's empire. Tarar is not what I would call stupid or corrupt. His dossier is so clean it squeaks. he has no money issues or any family problems, in fact his life here could not be more ideal.
The Inquisitor brings me a small box which contains a shiny gold ring.
"What's this for?"
"This ring will vibrate whenever anyone within 50 feet speaks falsely."
"It detects lies?"
"Yes."
"What's the fallibility level on this thing?"
"Zero."
"Really? What if he believes what he's saying is true even if it isn't?"
""Well, yes I suppose that could be a problem."
"So 99 percent then?"
With that he storms out. Sometimes I'm a jerk just to bring down some smug ass a peg or two. I ask the standard questions and even have the Tarar lie a couple of times on purpose just test the ring, which works fantastically by the way. But it's not until my sword teleports to my hand that he starts to look nervous. he knows who I am and that my blade is much like the emperor's in every way...and he keeps his hands very still. He won't dare touch the thing for fear of death, but I have no intention of killing him. No I focus the magic of the sword on a little known spell that compels a subject to answer 5 questions truthfully regardless of whether or not they want to. The subject is immediately aware of the presence of the spell. Which should have this guy quaking in his boots but he doesn't seem nervous at all.
"Question one: How is your family life?"
"No things are fine at home."
Question two: Any financial problems at home?
"No sir, the empire provides for all that we could ever want and I make an excellent wage here, enough to live rather luxuriously actually."
Question three: Anyone have blackmailing you?
"No."
Question four: Were you otherwise coerced into allowing an unknown person into the vault?
"No sir, the lady knew all the passcodes and had all the right credentials. She seemd shady so I called for authorization and she was cleared. I told the Inquisitor the same thing."
Question five: Who authorized the suspect to enter into the vault?"
"The order came from the emperor himself, I spoke with him on the comm."
"An inspection of the comm records shows there was not communication at the time you say you spoke to the emperor."
With each question the ring remains still, not so much as a twitch. If he's lying he's got some kind of powerful magic backing him up. I thank him and send him back to his cell. After some time I return to the vault to check the communication records myself. I'm looking for traces of unrecorded communications. The communications system on a vessel (I use the term loosely)it's tough to completely erase those kinds of records completely. A voice from nowhere just about scares the holy crap out of me.
'How can I assist you Obsidian?"
It's the damned computer. The realization brings my heart rate back down as I realize it's a simple AI interface.
"Computer, can you show me all communication records for the day of the theft, for the entire ship?"
"There were approximately 1,234,946,647,342 transmissions at that time."
The numbers are astronomical, but then I have a stroke of genius.
"Compute can send me a copy of the guard's fingerprints?"
"What do you need those for?" Spydra asks.
"I'm hoping that I'm right but I'm playing a hunch. Computer which consoles are used to check in."
The computer indicates a console near the door.
"Excellent, and which console is used to get authorization should a visitor be suspicious?"
As the panel lights up I smile wide and proud. They're not the same console. The one lit by the computer isn't the same as the one used for daily security logs. This means if he did in fact have a conversation then he'd have to have left behind his fingerprint on the screen...and sure enough...
"Bingo!"
"Did you find what you were looking for?"
"Indeed I did, food old fashioned detective work wins again."
A thorough check of the security logs reveals that while there was no transmission that day, there hasn't been one in over a century. So why would the guard's fingerprints be on the screen, Video records up until the day of the theft show he has never stepped foot over at that section since being assigned this post. Somebody with top level access altered the records, and deleted the transmission. Only six people have the access level required to do this and It's up to me to find out where each and every one of them was at the time and possibly beforehand. Looks like everyone is gonna be stuck here for a while. I'm not looking forward to telling them the news. |

The day off was something I really needed and I spent the majority of it getting to know my knew wives, biblicaly and intimately. Aini has settled into her place as more of a maid than my girlfriend...I'm not exactly happy with the arrangement but I can respect the ladies' position on the subject and besides Aini seems perfectly happy to accommodate them so it's a smooth transition. My first wife Ai is a bonified warrior princess and understands the art of war and her position on my ship outside of our relationship is simple...she's a combat expert and I have placed her in charge of security. I make my way to the bridge and call all the senior crew to the briefing room to discuss our situation. As the crew assembles I note that there is some concern about my new choice for chief of security.
"okay everyone, I know you're concerned about my having chose Ai for the position of chief of security, but I did not make the choice lightly. She has a great deal of experience with security with her her tribe and while she is not yet up to speed on our procedures Shadawar will be working closely with her to get her up to speed. That however, is not what I assembled everyone here to discuss. Our source of greatest concern is the closed Vortex that initially brought us here. We don't even know where here is or we could plot a our way home and it's entirely possible that we might be in a different dimension altogether, where the passage of time is not parallel to our own as we discovered when we encountered the Kryllian survivors."
"Our sensors haven't been able to locate the energy signature from the vortex but we are holding this position until we have ruled out it's reappearance." Shadawar adds.
"It is possible," Sabrina says while gesturing to a nearby computer screen, "That the vortex is being manipulated by an outside force. This energy spike just before it's disappearance would indicate that an immense amount of magical energy was expended."
Caewon replies, "There are spells that can close portal like the vortex, but not on that large of a scale. It would take divine power to force a vortex that size to close completely."
No sooner are those words spoken when the whole ship shudders.
"Wat the hell was that!?" I exclaim as I spring from my chair.
We all rush out onto the bridge to find the ships alarms going off and the image of what looks like and Aztec, (or some variation thereof) chieftain on the viewscreen.
"I am known to the people of this world as Gredienar, God of the people. You have taken my children from my world and this I cannot allow!"
The figure on the screen appears male with three eyes and an attitude. Great just great I'm not sure if this a real god or just some impostor but he's got enough power to close a vortex of cosmic proportions. let me explain how this whole "God" really works. First thee are guys like me who are immortal and to a primitive society the magic and technology I possess would make me "seem" to be a god. Then there are beings of phenomenal power and technology beyond anything ever seen and they would be like gods too. But true gods, do not exist in our dimension and instead use avatars or remote controlled bodies, to interact with mortals. These are true gods, and they are insanely powerful and come in four classes: Elder gods, who possess power over life and death and can basically kill you with a though and are nearly omniscient, Greater gods who can control the elements and weather and just make life miserable for whole continents, Lesser gods who can control aspects like luck or crops and still have magic more powerful than mortals, and finally Demigods who are most often mortals who have ascended to divine status or (more commonly) are the offspring between a mortal and a god. Elves are considered to be somewhat divine and the offspring of elves and gods are usually lesser gods. This guy looks like a Greater but only because my ship is still here and we're not all space debris.
"You will return the four you have taken and leave or I will destroy your vessel."
I'm not a fan of threats and I really don't like being accused of "Taking" anything that isn't mine. Just as I'm about to object to is accusation Ai kneels before his divineness and says
"Great one, this man did not take us, we have been mated to him in the name of peace."
"A false peace child, brought by deception and fear. This one has told your people he was a demon who would harm you if you did not make peace and give you four as his wife"
Hearing this I'm appalled, and completely insulted.
"Excuse me your worship but I did no such thing."
"You deny telling these people you were a demon-god?"
"I never said I was, they did. I only said I could destroy them and did not wish to."
"You did not clarify with my children this distinction?"
"No I didn't see the need."
"Even now below there are those that are worshiping you. You have stolen these worshipers from me and I will not permit this affront to continue. You will return these four and I will annul your mating, and you bow before me and tell my children that I am the one and true god of the people."
"Seriously? You must be out of your divine mind. I don't bow to any god and I won't make an exception now just beacuse you're butt hurt that your people have been exposed to new ideas. I'll make certain they stop worshiping me because I am no god, but kneel before you like my wife? Ha! it'll be a cold day in hell."
The ship shudders again and this time he actually damages it. Okay fine, no problem I know how to deal with this, he's not the first god to give me crap and he probably won't be the last. We'll settle this on the planet below.
"Okay your divineness, you win, I'll do as you bid, just don't hurt my ship and crew."
"A wise choice pretender."
the screen goes off and the ships remains still. I turn on a dime and head for the lift. these people who have trusted me thus far loook at me with concern...they have no idea how this is going to play out. I have had this dance before, three different times before, now there's no god of trickery, god of games, or god of festivals....and I'm about to Demonstrate how my sword got it's name. |

| Police in 4385 aren't much different save that they are well equipped and very well armed.Built in veracity gear allows them to tell when a subject is lying and the latest in micro tractors means even a cycle cop like the one pictured here can haul in groups of up to 10 people. Police officers are also equipped with cybernetic enhancements and implants which are removed upon leaving service. On body transponders mean that their locations are known at all times so in the even that someone should go rogue and try to make off with the installed technology, that person will easily be found. Their mandates still the same Protect and Serve and their are few if any dirty cops in this day and age especially with the stringent screening policies and practices. For matters of a supernatural origin there are several task forces and even the lowest rookie is issued protective talismans to prevent a large variety of spells and spell effects. All Officers have Anti-Grav belts and micro rockets although these are mostly used to pursue suspects fleeing on foot and are utterly useless for pursuing suspects in vehicles. |

it's been a great morning, breakfast was delicious, and the coffee was perfect. My wives are a real blessing. I have to remember to get them each something nice. I walk to the bridge and into my office and that's when the day goes to complete crap. He's just sitting there all 4 foot 3 inches of him, multiverse's greatest assassin . In actuality he's a cosmically powered killer, dressed in an infinitium nano mesh bodysuit. it looks like spandex but there's so much magic you'd go blind if cast a Magic detection spell on it. and technology in it you'd go blind casting coffee his feet are perched on my desk with coffee in hand and he's rifling through my star charts like he owns the place. At this point I realize I have nothing to lose so I may as well be a bit indignant.
"You're in my chair."
he doesn't even acknowledge my presence.
"I said...!"
"No need to raise your voice Obsidian, I heard you the first time."
"Is there something I can help you with?" I ask while pouring another cup of coffee. I brew mine fresh in a pot I keep in my office it's a little decadence I allow myself from the 21st century. The Black Mantis looks up from the hologram in front of him and calmly states
"I have a job that requires your skills."
"No."
"But you haven't even heard the specs."
"it's from you? No."
"It threatens the mulitverse."
"No!"
He takes a deep breath, sighs and then he scares the living hell out of me with one word.
"Parata."
"What...about...him?"
"He's gone."
"No." I chuckle mockingly "He can be gone. Because you have his head encased in infinitium, and locked in a vault on your ship. A ship I might add that is...480 MILLION MILES WIDE AND 240 MILLION LONG!!! So there is no way with the most powerful technology, magic and cosmic power that you could possibly have lost his HEAD!!!"
By now he and I are nose to nose, and I realize I may be pushing my luck at this point.
he places a finger on my helmet then slowly and deliberately pushes my head back.
"I didn't lose it. It was stolen, by someone with a lot of magic and well informed. The thief completely bypassed everything and we knew she was coming."
"Wait, She?"
"yes we determined that it was a female and we have tons of video and images."
"Really? but you just said..."
"I have mundane backups for just such an emergency. Simple video photography late 20th century tech, laughable but few people ever think backwards when planning jobs like this. They're always prepared for the advanced systems but nothing like simple camera."
"If she gets his head out of that casing.."
"You don't have to tell me I'm the one who put his head in there remember?"
"Then you already know you guys will be the ones he comes for first and he's a bloody genius not to mention powerful."
"His former resources are ours now and anyone loyal to him died centuries ago."
"Okay any leads?"
"Just one, she's on an Earth colony in the outer rim. I've been there and I can tell you there's no way to detect her by psionics or magic. So you'll have to do it the old fashioned way."
"Alright, I'll take the job, but it's gonna cost."
"Tell Tanaka and it's yours, I'll grant two requests one up front, and one on completion. I don't care what condition the thief is in but I don't need to tell you what could happen if Parata gets loose and resurrected."
"You really don't"
"Good then, do not fail."
"I never do. Now will you get out of my chair?"
With a snap of his fingers he's gone and I'm left with a ton of research. How would one get anything out of a case made of pure Infinitium? You can't hurt it or beam through it, and as far as I know the only one who has the etch to reshape it is the Black Mantis himself. Quantum resolution EMT devices are still a millennia away by current standards and that really limits the number of people or organizations that could get that head out.
Parata is singly the most fearsome opponent the Black mantis and his pantheon have ever faced. At one time he had defeated all of them and left me and my two friends Ray and Harley to stop him. he underestimated us and it allowed us to kill him. But gods don't die so easily and so the Black mantis had his head encased in indestructible Infinitium. He then had his body likewise and placed it on the surface of an unnamed star where it remains to this day.
if the two were ever rejoined the rage of this very unbelievable powerful cosmic being would be unthinkable. I have a good idea of where to start searching but I'm gonna need help on this one. I think it's time I called on some old friends.

| Pictured here is a lieutenant of the IGFW. While many officers can and do serve on starships not all positions are as glamorous or adventurous. IGFW uniforms are custom fit and come in all shapes and sizes to accommodate all species including non-humanoids. The uniforms are thermally controlled and allow the wearer to remain comfortable in temperatures ranging from -45 to 110 degrees on average and come with modular self-contained environments. The uniform can protect the wearer in the vacuum of space for 24 hours after which the environment will be unable to recycle oxygen and other vital components necessary for survival. The IGFW (Inter-Galactic Federation of Worlds) is the the governing body for 3 galaxies. it serves to resolve disputes and quell conflicts. Members in good standing have guaranteed rights and protection. The IGFW is composed of hundreds of alien species most notably the Kryllians, Solarans, Luminesti, Celesti, Anaran, Ailoo, Andromidia, and Chauette. To name but a few. The IGFW is not without it's enemies however, and highest on this list is the Hadean Empire. The darkest hour for the IGFW was during the Millennium Wars which stretched the IGFW tot heir limits and nearly caused the collapse of the Federation altogether. Recently one of the former enemies of the IGFW, The Sathari Empire, became a strong ally and may apply for membership in the future due to a long and bloody rebellion.

An IGFW officer explores a strange new world...seeking out new territories for colonization.
I have to say I love doing environments and alien worlds present a whole different set of challenges than say an earth-like location. I love the different plant life and figuring out where the various plants go and what role they fill. What is alien grass? What is an alien tree? What color is the sky? Lots of fun and sometime...sometimes...like now...I get it just right.

| The Inter-Galactic Federation of Worlds or I.G.F.W. for short, dispatches small fleets of ships to expand its territories and explore the farthest reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy. Shown here are 2 cruisers (left center and far right), one heavy destroyer (Bottom), a frigate (top), and a heavy scout class vessel (top left). Departing from a deep space station. It is important to note that all space stations are designed to be self sustaining depot with medium range cargo ships and mining equipment and always placed near a habitable planet in the event of any catastrophe. Space stations are towed in modular sections and transported via Space-fold which is not practical for every day travel despite the fact that most IGFW Star-ships are equipped with Fold Generators. The Modular sections are then assembled on site and any accompanying ships remain with the station for a full rotation. Placing a station in deep space takes only a few days at most and has made colonization much easier than in previous generations. |

The being known as "Panterra" was genetically engineered in the latter part of the 21st century. Solaran (Human) DNA Sliced with various attributes from large felines species. His creation was a direct response to the escape of his forerunner now code named "Man-eater". Panterra was design to be the team Leader of the Preemptive Reconnaissance Infiltration Detection and Elimination squad Acronym: P.R.I.D.E. whose primary purpose is was to infiltrate behind enemy borders and eliminate targets deemed a threat to the United State's security. Panterra was not the first genetically engineered being but rather last of a line of 6 such beings. (Individual Dossiers to be submitted later)
The first to be created was code named: "Alleycat" a massive 9 ft behemoth of immense strength and endurance.
The second was code named: "Tigress" a female assassin trained in various forms of martial arts and intrusions techniques.
The Third code named: "Cheetah" Was an incredibly fast Speedster of unlimited endurance and capable of reaching speeds of up to mach 6 on land. However, she was reportedly incapable of pinpoint navigation.
The fourth code named: Jagwire is technological genius and a weapons expert in all small/heavy arms and s killed inventor. Like the others he is a capable soldier and an effective killer.
The fifth was originally code named: Panterra However, during a routine live training exercise he attacked and subsequently murdered his handlers going rogue and escaping from the facility that created the team. The Panterra soldier genome was designed to be a combination of the other 4 team members and while not at their individual peak would have some proficiency with all of their skill sets.
Panterra and his allies arrived in the year 4380 after a conflict with Maneater in which was using and experimental "Space Fold " device a device which had previously used to open a portal from the Sun's corona to the UN Building on Earth vaporizing the building and the surrounding area for 15 miles and disrupting the Earth's atmosphere on a massive scale. While attempting to apprehend the villain the device was damage and the resulting explosion hurled the team and (Unknown to them Maneater) forward through time> After a brief conflict with the then fledgling Scions of Justice which resulted in the Scions being subdued. The prompt arrival of the Black Scarab cleared the entire situation and the P.R.I.D.E. was given the bad news about their situation. For a time the team thought their adversary long dead but the events of "The Rise of Dominion" would reveal that Maneater was alive and well. Maneater was defeated by Obsidian Mask who nearly killed him and has since been placed in a maximum security penal station along with Dominion.
Panterra's whereabouts are currently unknown and it is presumed he has settled down with his love interest Tigress.
IGFW Intelligence files on these subjects are far from complete but their early database from the 21st century is on file. |

Shortly after discovering who Moonshadow was and her subsequent parentage, we headed off to meet dear old dad. Only to have a run in with some new upstart super-villain wannabe calling himself Nechronos. Self proclaimed master of time. He got away but left some flunkies I was certain he didn't like because why send them after me unless you don't like them...I mean it's a death sentence. However, coming after me it seems is nothing compared to the life ending mistake of coming after the daughter of the Multiverse's Greatest Assassin. Before I can reach for my gun 12 deadly killers are reduced to several corpses and a couple piles of underterminate matter. One of them was imploded, another turned literally inside out, three more are just dead without a single wound (presumably by magic) and the rest are either skewered, shot or slashed to pieces. From an assassin's point of view it's a wonder to behold a true work of deadly art. From a passerby it looks like hell on earth. I never fired a shot just stood there with my mouth open thankful no one could see the dumbfounded expression on my face. This is I think to myself, is how a creature with divine power does death and it make what I do look like a child playing with a book of matches...potentially dangerous but hardly deadly. In a moment it's over and I look at Moonshadow standing there covered in blood and remains and she giggles girlishly commenting on how she must look a mess (That's putting it mildly)with a flick of her wrist there's a gentle flash of light and all the blood and entrails are simply gone.
"How, did you...?"
"It's simple spell I call Fresh and Clean."
"Sister I'm not talking about your outfit, I'm talking about the dozen dead guys at your feet, by your hands."
"Daddy insisted we all learn how to fight, on all fronts, Magic, Melee, Ranged, and Psionic. I was the best of his girls...so I was given the ability to cast spells with but a though and bestowed the mantle of Demi-God. I hope you don't think too differently of me."
"Well, maybe just a little...yeah."
The words are no sooner out of my mouth when what I assume is two specialists arrive, they don't look too happy about the condition of their friends and they look like they could give me a run for my money...but not today. No sir today my lady friend here is gonna make them wish they had never been born. As Moonshadow turns to face them with her swords drawn I kick back and say: "Hey honey, I'm just gonna sit this one out. You don't mind do ya?"
Without missing a beat she smiles and says "No dear you just take it easy I'll only be a sec."
A bad day for these two guys...a really bad day.

| Unfortunately for them my suit emits nothing, no noise, no heat, no light, no nothing. Again I use a phase emitter to breach the secured door and begin the long walk down what I can only assume is a sideways tram/elevator shaft. On the way I plant several highly explosive charges to make sure Dominion doesn’t escape again. The tram/elevator rests at the end of a five mile hike awaiting the arrival of dominion in his hour of need. I place a couple of charges on it for good measure. Using the phase emitter once again I pass through the tram’s walls and prepare to enter the base. I use a nano-camera from my belt to peer into the room outside which I quickly discover is unoccupied. Phasing through the door I’m careful not to trip any sensors and begin looking for my quarry. It’ doesn’t take long to find him but he’s hardly close. I need to get him to run and I know just how to do that. I activate my Fighter’s remote and order it to fire on the base and like the coward he is Domion begins ordering his men to respond while he makes his exit…right towards me |

| Hunting for clues
Obsidian Other Comics 2017/7/18 10:17

In the Heromorph mansion there are secret passageways...which only remain secret if one is not an elf. Merely passing within ten feet of such an entrance gives an elf a 33% probability of discover it, so perceptive are they. This even more so if said elf is a ninja, and actively looking for something of that nature. Not all of Obsidian's detective work is done by his technology. Spider-Man however, is on vacation and hunting down clues is not fun it's...the usual.
<Obsidian> "Found it!"
<Spiderman sarcastically> "Ugh, found what?"
<Obsidian> "A secret doorway." (slides concealed door open) ...and stairs.
<Spiderman> "No! no no no no no no! I did not come here to be a detective or play hero. This is my vacation away from all of that crazy stuff!"
<Obsidian> "Really? Then why did you come here in costume numbnuts?"
<Spiderman> I---I---Dammit! Lead on, but you owe me. After this we get smashed...I mean it."
<Obsidian> "Webhead I have no intention of getting anywhere near inebriated until this mystery is solved."
<Spiderman> "Whatever you say Fred, is Daphne and Velma coming too? Rikes where is everyrodoy. Scooby Dooby Doooooo."
<Obsidian> "You're an ass. Now come on."
Making their way down the dark stairwell the pair of heroes discover a dank computer room, in neat rows are nearly a dozen robotic velociraptors, thankfully not active. A nearby computer and access panel display the current status of not only the Raptors but the sharks as well.
<Obsidian> "Spider, Look here."
<Spiderman> "Whaaaaat? Let me guess, you found a clue?"
<Obsidian> "More than that, I found the controls for all of these robots. Check it out, someone set the safeties to off. According to my scanners -some of which do still work- there's a fresh set of prints."
<Spiderman> "Really sherlock? Too bad there's no database to compare them with. Lets go already. Need i remind you that there are two seriously HOT babes on our team and unless they swing the other way they could be swinging with us. And brother I can swing. C'mon."
<Obsidian doing his best Batman impersonation> "SOMEONE TRIED TO KILL ME AND NOW I HAVE PROOF. I have no intention of taking that lightly. Moreover the same someone apparently tried to take out the other team as well."
Spiderman hangs his head in defeat, he knows his friend is not going to give this up until someone pays for this affront. Woe to the one who tried to kill Obsidian mask...He is looking to return the favor.
Note: I'm just killing time waiting for the rest of the guys to post their entries...and I'm so Boooooored so this is how I intend to fill my dull days until the end of the month....LOL I have no idea what's going to happen next but I know Spidey from comics and previous Smackdowns. That said I have lots of go nowhere images I can create. Just wait till I get going. |

| Half horse half Eagle...Maybe half Griffon, The Hippogriff is a fearsome predator, weighing in at approximately 800 pounds (nearly twice the weight of a Griffin) they sustain themselves on equines and herd animals and occasionally fish. Their only natural predators are dragons and of course Griffons which they will attack on sight. Like the Griffin, they will attack their legendary foe without regard to personal safety or the safety of their riders. Conflicts with Griffins are rare as they inhabit different climates. Hippogriffs inhabit temperate regions while Grifins live in arid tundra. Hippogriffs unlike their cousins are more readily tamed and accepting of a rider making them the preferred mount between the two. |

| Hill dragons prefer the hill regions hence the name, Like all dragons they possess superior camouflage abilities. In combat they prefer to grab opponents and fly as high as possible letting their victim fall to its death. They can breathe a noxious gas of concentrated chlorine which even air filters and purifiers cannot screen out. They can bit with their ferocious teeth and rend even the toughest armor with their razor sharp talons. Like all dragons they are incredibly intelligent and may ally themselves with powerful creatures for mutual benefit. They are fiercely loyal if raised in a domestic setting and will happily allow themselves to be ridden. Unlike the fabled steed dragons however, they share no special bond with their riders. |

Obsidian Original Characters 2016/6/25 18:49
1404 3
The Black Mantis had tricked me...but good. 20 million credits for every slave in the market...a day I'll never forget. I'll never forget it because of one slave in particular. She was tiny only 4 ft 6 inches...and she seemed frail. She was of a demonic species, what they call a category one...a servant. Her very essence tied to service no matter how cruel the master. But there was so much more to it...she was empathic...a genetic empath and until I left Moonshadow I had no idea what that meant. Her entire species was created to be the perfect mate...she is everything I ever wanted and everything I could ever want and if my tastes changed then so would she...she could be what I didn't even know I wanted. The problem is, I don't want her...it doesn't seem right and she knows it...she is doing everything right and I fear I may break down...it's not exactly a bad thing...one thing is certain...she's beautiful...and gets smarter by the day and she has all the skills of a top notch assassin...she is a perfect match. She went from shy and sheepish to fierce and independent almost overnight. She sleeps at the foot of my bed, the only compromise I could get her to make, my other choice was next to me and I'm mortal enough that I knew I'd give in to temptation at some point. Yes the Black Mantis had set me up and I'm certain he's getting a real kick out of this.
After a few weeks with her as my ...consort, assistant? I discovered that she was very young for a demon being only 50 years old. She absorbs information like a sponge and can adjust her appearance to suit her mate. However, she can never completely hide her demonic nature, meaning the horns and tail are package deal. They are cute though...Argh...see what I mean she's designed, no engineered to get inside your head. I find myself thinking about her and admiring her shape...the way her breasts heave when she giggles....DAMN IT! I did it again! When she walks in the room I lose my train of thought...
"Master, I have prepared your dinner, are you ready to eat?"
She smiles a perfect smile and I smell the scent of fresh flowers...Pheromones no doubt...that's not gonna help. The clothes she chooses to wear are exactly what I would want for someone like her..not exactly revealing but suggestive yet classy...The last couple of weeks with her have been a bloody nightmare. I don't have to resist but she thinks of herself as my slave and she STILL calls me Master. I'd release her but it would literally kill her...her species cannot survive if they don't bond with someone to serve and once bonded they cannot bond with anyone until their bond mate dies...they are magically connected and also spiritually. As Magic goes it's a masterwork of creation...but in my case...I want a mate who wants to be with me because she CHOOSES to.
"Master?"
I look up and she has this puzzled expression on her adorable face. DAMN IT! My thoughts linger on her especially when she's near.
"Sorry, what?"
"Your dinner master, it is ready and the table is set if you are hungry."
"Oh yes, of course I'll be right there."
She cooks like a professional chef, every meal is an experience, there's nothing I enjoy that she isn't exceptionally gifted at. Yeah are you beginning to see the problem yet?
"Everything looks delicious. Thank you. Are you going to finally join me? It's okay to eat at the table."
"No Master I may not, it is for you to enjoy."
"Seriously, we have to get you to stop calling me that...and you NEED a name!"
"It is for you to gift me with a name Master."
AAAARGH!!!! I can't win! Now I have to name her too? It's not like naming a puppy or even a child and I have named several of each.
"Fine, let me sleep on it and I'll come up with something tomorrow."
"As you wish master."
She smiles and her face lights up with excitement at the prospect of me naming her. She can't break any of her demonic rules and it is something I am coming to terms with. As she walks out of the room I can't help but watch her perfect ass sashay side to side...I don't know how much longer I can hold out.
The next morning I wake to her cute face inches from mine instantly I find myself wondering "Holy crud did I finally give in and sleep with her?" Frantically I start running a check list...underwear, check, blankets, check, her clothe still on, check. Whew a close one. I turn my attention back to her.
"Um good morning, can I help you?"
Excitedly she says "You slept on it and today is my naming day yes master?"
"Ah yes, I didn't mean I would dream your name."
"Of course not master" she says with the cutest giggle I ever heard (Damn it!). "I have prepared your breakfast and set out your clothes for today."
"Okay let me shower and I'll be right out."
"I shall keep your meal warm for you Master."
It took some doing but I managed to get her to agree to not bathe me...the first time she tried that Moonshaddow nearly punched her through a wall...in the end though she decided that was cute..but out of bounds...turns out Gods can order demons to do whatever they want
I step out of the shower and on my night stand is a piping hot cup of perfect coffee. Honestly as a personal assistant she is flawless. She takes care of things I forgot I even needed to do...like contact Harley on Ferusi. Who is settling nicely into his new role as High Justiciar, but as it turns out he will be leaving Ferusi since according to how the Sathari do things, it turns out it's my private property and the High Justiciar according to Sathari tradition, must rule from a world gifted to him by the emperor. I was supposed to meet with him for the transition and to re-establsh rule there. The date is set for the meeting and as I contemplate all of that my little demon walks into the room looking hotter than she ever has and I notice right away that her blue skin is no longer blue. As I stare at her flawless frame I completely forget I'm only wearing a towel...something that becomes readily apparent to both of us as she stares downward, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Master? I thought you did not want me to..."
"What? U'm NO...HELL NO!!! I'm sorry I didn't...I mean that is..." frantically I garb my pants and cover my...problem. "What...uh...can I um....What do you want?"
"I was only checking to see if you were ready?"
"No I'm not exactly...and...Why aren't you blue?"
"Blue is the color of an unbound. You would call it...I do not know the word...like a child before it reaches adulthood. On our naming day we reach maturity"
Holy crap she was a child!?!? ...aaaand naming her completes some sort of prerequisite for adult hood way to go dumb ass! Well that would explain the new...more impressive...proportions...yeah like she wasn't hot enough before.
"I will wait for you in the kitchen Master."
"Yeah um okay."
She walks out and I can't help but stare again...this is getting bad fast.
I stare at the floor as I sit at the table...another perfect meal waiting. She walks up behind me and places a fresh cup of coffee as I finish the last of a divine breakfast...and I feel myself wishing that she'd place those perfect lips on my neck...yeah...that'd be great. As I day dream about that...I suddenly realize....I"M NOT FREAKING DAYDREAMING!!!
Worse yet...I don't want her to stop. Suddenly, it's done deal and my desires win over my willpower. Everything she does is perfect and my mind is lost in every perfect curve of her body. hear hair, the way she smells, and tastes. It's mind blowing and even though she isn't a telepath it's like she can read my mind. Hours later I collapse in a heap with her atop me. She places her head over my heart and runs her fingers across my chest...I know I should probably feel guilty but I just don't. Just then she says.
"What a perfect day master, my naming day and my first time all on the same day it's wonderful."
"That um was your first time? No offense but you seemed like you'd done that before."
"Oh Master, my species can read body language and we instinctively know what to do for our lovers...it's even better the second time."
"The second time?" My words are cut short, and my day is complete bust...I haven't spent a day in bed like this before though...in 300 plus years I can honestly say this is like nothing I have ever experienced and I have bedded a Goddess!
True to her word the second time around was phenominal...Oh I gotta send the Balck Mantis an apology letter and a Gift basket.
Only one name comes to mind Aini Quenya in or Angel Divine in the tongue of men. I name her this because there is no way she can be a demon. The next three weeks we spend all of our time together, and I notice that she seems happier than she has been since I've known her. A part of me wonders...is she happy or is it just her programming? She surprises me one day with a request...she wants to accompany me to Ferusi...in full armor and weapon loadout. I don't doubt she can handle herself and since there's no real risk in visiting my own planet I agree. As she steps out from Ray's lab my jaw practically hit the floor The design of her armor is very familiar and I'm sure it's intentional...Purple accents though...not something I would've chosen. Could that mean she's finally exceeding her genetic programming?When we land planetside Harley is noticeably taken back. I'm sure he didn't expect to see me and a plus one. Harley greets me cheerfully as always.
"Bro, good to see you. You helping my move the big stuff?"
"Hah, you have jokes I see."
"And who do we have here?"
"This is..." Aini cuts me off mid sentence.
"I am Violet Mask...Obsidian's personal bodyguard! You may address me as Aini though High Justiciar. It is a pleasure to meet any of my master's extended family."
I'm stunned...if anyone could see inside my helmet they'd tell me to close my mouth. What was that? Over my internal comms I hear Aini's cute little voice say...
"Was that too much master? I wanted your bro to take me seriously I hope I was not too out of line."
"Uh no you were good...a bit unexpected but yeah...run with it."
Harley shakes her hand and turns to me.
"Since when do you need a personal bodyguard?"
"It's something I'm doing for diplomatic stuff...it doesn't look good to be all Ninja paranoid you know?"
"I feel you bro, well let's get inside and get the paperwork out of the way."
I spend the rest of the day bullshitting with my old friend and feeling rather impressed with Aini...ho would've thought she'd have that in her? If I had any doubts about her free will they faded fast. |
