| Obsidian Mask, aka Michael Todd, was not born a Luminesti elf, in fact he was born human although he does not remember it that way. The reason he doesn't remember it is the very reason he is an elf at all. The transformation spell that made him an elf and granted him immortality also removed any trace of humanity from him. He truly believes that he was always an elf, adopted by human parents through some accident in the 20th century he thinks he was raised as a human and therefore has human values and a human outlook. Elves for their part, recognize that there is something not quite right about him and are immediately put off by him. As a result they are not very favorable towards him and some are downright hateful towards him, except for Celestial elves who have no inclination one way or the other which raises many questions. As for other Luminesti elves...they don't like him...and while elder Luminesti (1,000 + years old or more) know why, younger Luminesti do not and no matter how much respect he earns few if any Luminesti elves will ever befriend him. As for the genetics of the situation Obsidian is for all intents and purposes a true Luminesti Elf and any coupling will result as it would for any other Luminesti. As a result of his estrangement, Obsidian has only been allowed on the Luminesti Homeworld (Pictured) twice. |

Sprites are tiny humanoid creatures that have insect-like wings and antenna. They possess magical abilities and are known for their love of practical jokes.They can turn invisible at will and have the ability to cast "Phantom noise" as often as they like. They live in large communities in dense forests where few creatures can venture although it is important to note that when their habitats are destroyed they can and do dwell in modern societies. They are often mistaken for Faeries however, Faeries are half the size of a Sprite and have gossamer wings and calling a Sprite a Faerie is to Sprites, a great insult. Sprites have a non-winged cousin called a Pixie who are otherwise identical in every way. Sprites can fly at speeds up to 25 mph or in short bursts (5 feet or less) of up to 75 mph. Sprites speak the dominant language of whatever world they live on, they use only the most primitive of technologies as they have no forging skills and few technologies are micronized enough for them to use effectively. On the planet D'Enebrius 6 the Sprites there are well equipped to that of the intergalactic standard and have miniature star-ships that are far more powerful then their full sized counterparts. No ship entering into their territory has survived any battle with their tiny fleet and nothing else is know about them as they are extreme Xenophobes.

An ages old Earth custom still practiced in 4835 only now the "Monsters" are also part of the fun as this young Heigaran lad can attest.
(To Danny) You had to know I already had an alien like that thanks for creating the cat-person and the little girl as well although I think i should have added a pony tail.
As for what Obsidian Mask is doing in this image: That's not him it's a kid dressed like him. Obsidian is something of a superhero on Earth...and other things on other worlds.
This was a lot of fun and I coulda swore we had it in the bag but congrats to the winners. |

Their trail leads them to the warehouse district in a particularly rough neighborhood in middle of Brooklyn. Spider-Man is not too fond of guns but Obsidian assures him that the ammunition is strictly non-lethal. Reluctantly the Web Head concedes the point. High above on a rooftop they scout the entrance to what they believe is a warehouse being used to ship supplies having discovered a link between the warehouse and a Latverian shipping company. Peering down the duo notices that the workers are not exactly what they would seem. |

This is an image of an automated nano-surgical table standard on all IGFW starships. This sort of treatment is usually for a quick repair of un-salvageable limbs and is for immediate repairs only, Personnel can opt to have cloned limbs replaced at a facility better equipped to handle such procedures. Tactile sensation of modern Cybernetic implants is 90 percent which is quite high. The minor loss of sensation usually only takes a couple of weeks of adjustment. If necessary full replacement of all organs and skeletal structures with a loss of only 8% of tactile sensation and many people do opt for such replacements as they are a great way to extend one's life span but such a procedure is not without it's drawbacks after all a full cyborg is still a machine and machines break and have their own set of vulnerabilities and legal restrictions. Synthetic Cyborgs are still in their early trials and as yet no full conversion Syntheborgs have been attempted.
On an artistic note, the image seen here has no post-work and is a raw image, one I must say I'm very proud of. |

| I just recently discovered that Conan the Barbarian (yes the one we all know and love) could possibly be in the public domain. There is some dispute about the copyrights as Conan has passed from hand to hand. The issue seems to be that NOBODY remembered to renew the copyrights of the original author. This opens the door for a lot of new potential. I would not miss out on this opportunity to create my own version of him and I present a concept (not the finished product) here. Feedback would be nice. |

Thor the Mighty, Odinson, The Mighty Thor, these are just some of the names given to the Norse god of thunder. His entry and that of many of earth's deities is intended to flesh out faiths within the Galaxy Five game and priests of the each faith will have their own edicts to which they subscribe. I hope it will be fun for all ages.
This of course is an updated version of my original Thor who for me looked a bit...like a dandy and i need my God of Thunder to taken seriously. |

Displayed here are, (from left to right) Celestial Elf (the most populous of elves), Luminesti elves (The most magical and long lived of elves also called Alfar), Dwarves (rugged and prolific), Solaran (Denizens of the Solar system also known as Humans), and The Daakalfar (also known as Dark Elves) The differences, advantages and disadvantages of each species will be explained in full detail in the final draft (Not shown is the Kryllian the second most prolific species in the fives galaxies second only to Humans). I would be happy to answer any questions. |

Sometimes the best technology is magic...when that happens it is best to travel to worlds where such things are commonplace and incidentally...cheap. Often you deal with some the most unusual life forms...like Medusai and of course...Elves.
On a side note all elves somehow instinctively know that Obsidian is not a true elf, except Celestial elves suggesting they also may not be true elves. When encountering elves of an species other than Celestial Obsidian is at best treated with discourtesy and at worst, hostility. He has not yet figured out why other elves don't like him. Sadly he probably never will. |

| We all know we could be walking into a trap, I mean just because we’re getting a signal doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near it. In no time we're in, we step out of the vent just in time for a guard to spot us, but before I can even reach my gun Cheetah's on top of him sometimes I forget just how fast she is. The guard is only disabled even though she has lethal weapons available and I'm reminded of the fact that she's a hero and I'm not, because I would have shot him dead. I go into stealth mode and all weapons and gear get silenced. Thanks to the Absorbium 80 no sound emits from me or my gear. A handy side effect of the metal's properties to be sure. A push of a button and all the light gets absorbed too. There really isn't much this metal doesn't absorb. If it weren’t for the wiring running in and out of this suit I wouldn’t be able to hear or see a thing |

The silence is uncomfortable so I muster up the courage and decide break it. Cheetah’s going to be with us till we find Panterra and I can’t operate under this kind of stress. I clear my throat, slightly embarrassed by how loud it seems and ask,
"We have to talk about what happened? I mean, I said I was sorry what more can I do?"
"After what you pulled, I am surprised you would expect me to say anything to you."
"Look Chee- Uh- Sarah, you know I never meant for us to get serious like that? I mean, I travel all across the five galaxies and you do the super hero thing here on Earth. I just don’t see how it would have worked."
"How can you not see? I could've…I could've come with you, I would have given up everything. I thought you felt the same way. Or were you just stringing me along?"
"I wasn't stringing you along. I just knew where this was all headed. We fall in love, settle down, and raise a family. Then eventually I get to watch you and them all grow old and die while I live on? I did that once before and I just don't have the strength to go through it again."
"I can't help that you're a damn Elf and that you’ll live forever. All I know is how I feel and I care very deeply for you. I though you cared for me too. Do you?"
I don’t answer I just hang my head solemnly, I do care.
“That’s what I thought.”
Her words sting like an arrow, and I have nothing to say because I know she’s right. She makes me want to grow old with her but that's an impossibility Luminesti Elves like me don't grow old, and unless we're killed we don't die either. This talk was a bad idea so I decide to go back to the awkward silence again.

| A fearsome mean tempered creature, The Owlursus or Owlbear at first appears to be a hybrid between a bear and an owl. In fact the Owlursus is actually a close relative of the Griffin and Like it's cousin in now only an apex predator but and excellent flyer, despite it's great size. Owlursai (plural) are more than twice the size of griffins and on their hind legs can stand nearly 22 feet tall. They can be tamed and used as mounts but they are far more feral and one must be on guard from these beast's infamous rages. They are unharmed by conventional weapons and they withstand extreme cold without ill effect. They are as one might suspect Carnivorous but supplementing their diet with fruits vegetable and nuts or processed foods has been shown to reduce their aggressive tendencies and make them more amiable to training. Owlursai are considered Magical beasts because like all magical beasts they look nearly identical no matter what planet they are found on. |

So this ladies and gentlemen is the concept Warp Ship from NASA and incidentally the inspiration for the Warp Ring Design on my ships. I thought you'd like to know where I get my ideas from and that sometimes (more often than not) they are based in actual science. This is the ISX Enterprise for those of you not in the know (look who I'm tellin) and getting this model was the highlight of my month. Of course that's the SS Lillun in the background.

I was sitting down watching "How to train your dragon 2" when it hit me that I could have a world like that within my 5 galaxies...so Lo...And BEHOLD!
The Dragon world, where every conceivable dragon within the 5 galaxies can all be found on one world. The Dragon Masters have tamed nearly all of them (or at least enough to ride) Dragon hunting is illegal except with a license (for population control) the People of this world fight fiercely for their Dragons and have a bond with them not quite the Equal of the that which Legendary Steed Dragons and their riders share. However, it is as close as one can get. Understandably Steed dragons are not found on this world though it seems all others are. |

| The Naga are a reclusive race of evolved serpents with a great propensity towards magic. In fact magic is so ingrained into their society that (as on many other magic dominated worlds) it has replaced technology in every part of daily life. The Naga themselves worship the Egyptian gods and their society reflects this. The Pharaoh rules the entire planet and has many Nomarchs serving across the continents, and several high priests beneath them. All Naga are born able to use magic (mostly for defensive purposes) and can create darkness, create oil slicks. Magic and spells are taught from pre-school ages and on through college. Misuse of magic is taken seriously and the Naga possess unique items that neutralize it rendering the wearer powerless. They have even developed magical implants that visibly mark the bearer with a glowing mark that shines through clothing and armor for all to see their shame. Naga have trouble understanding how anyone can live without magic and are fascinated by technology. In the last 100 years they began experimenting with various forms of technology and now lead the 5 galaxies in Technomancy. As such their world and its businesses are constantly "harassed" with sanctions and various red tape by Mega Corporations who seek to prevent their products from "Flooding" the markets. Visitors to Darmina 6 are subject to a one hour lecture on how visitors are expected to behave and what will and will not be tolerated. Anyone who feels their rights are being violated (or in some cases removed) can feel free to depart back to where they came. Visitors are expected to bow before the appropriate authorities and failure to do so can (and often does) be punishable by death. As a result of such rules tourism is notably light. |

| The Zero-Men aren't as invulnerable or immortal as it would at first seem. Crimson mask, felled by a single arrow, an enchanted arrow known as the soul eater...it's single purpose...devour the soul of whomever it strikes. Normally the absorbium 80 armor would stop the impact of any projectile absorbing it's kinetic energy but edged weapons do not truly require such energies to slice through the mesh and the arrow pierces Crimson Mask's heart killing him instantly. Obsidian makes short work of the attacker and his allies but those that lie dead are not the mastermind...only fodder. Only one question remains. Who gave them the arrow? These low level thugs are flunkies and flunkies just don't carry this sort of weaponry. No time for remorse or contemplation as a new enemy approaches, and this is no simple flunkie...no...but he will answer Obsidian's questions or he will die at Obsidian's hands as did his allies. Obsidian's friend of over 300 years will be avenged and a river of blood will flow in payment. |

| Jennifer Brooks was supposed to be one of a set of triplets, when a energy-matter transporter accident interacted with her Genetic Aberration as an instinctive fail safe the three fetuses merged into one. This fact was unknown to doctors who were dumbfounded. All of the experts consulted said that the missing two fetuses were simply gone...they were mistaken. Later it was believed that Jennifer suffered from schizophrenia, and when examined by doctors at the young age of 13 it was discovered that her brainwaves were erratic, not because she was mentally ill but because she had 3 separate minds intertwined into one. The merged minds of the three form a fourth separate being, this is Jennifer. Jennifer has no extraordinary powers skills or abilities. When separate the three personalities are known as (Mystria, Whylma, and Amethyst) each with it's own powers and skills and all aware of the other. It wasn't until the day of her prom when her date tried to "Go too far" that she learned the three personalities could personify and materialize into three separate beings. Artemis ( Whylma) the Warrior, Vex (Mystria) The Mage and Korona (Amethyst) The Psionic, unfortunately for the young boy he met primarily with Artemis who beat him almost to death. Each one of the personalities has her own mind and her own will ,dreams, and desires, and each one represents an aspect of Jennifer's own personality as well. So what keeps them together? If they should move farther than a mile from each other they will each grow weak, the extent of this weakness is suspected to go so far as death but this is not known and they refuse to test it for obvious reasons. They also cannot remain separated for longer than 48 hours without the same sickness which will again affect all of them. Jennifer herself is quite weak and so to protect her the three girls employed the services of a combat drone. Pretty, pink, cute, and armed to the teeth Malibu Bambi (aka the A-46 combat drone) has an advance self aware AI who looks after Jennifer like a kid sister...and boys beware she is very suspicious of men. Unless necessary or at Jennifer's behest Bambi will not engage in combat not involving the immediate safety of Jennifer. Bambi's personality matrix is one of the most advanced in operation, despite the fact the she has been obsolete for over a year now having been replaced by the now more popular A-47 combat drone. Together the three girls are known as Triple Threat though few if any are aware of the girls' true nature. |
