Valexa Victus

Valexa with her husband, Astraeus

Valexa Mehrkuri Victiana Invectina is the daughter of Ariteus Victus and his wife, Caela Invectus. She is the older sister of Septimus Victus, the paternal second-cousin-once-removed of Fidellion Victus, and the bonded wife of Astraeus Mehrkuri, with whom she has two children; Fideia and Fidericus Mehrkuri. When she was thirteen, both her parents were murdered by her future husband's father, Antraxes Mehrkuri, for their role in leading the Bostran resistance movement during the Bostran Rebellion. She and her infant brother were then raised by Justinien Victus, their paternal first-cousin-twice removed, who legally adopted them.

Upon her husband's ascension to the rank of *Primarch* of Digeris, she was inaugurated beside him as the *Conjux Domina* of Digeris, the first Victus to ever hold the position. She would sit at her husband's righthand side, assisting him with ruling her adoptive people, until his death. Valexa was beloved by the Digerians, who colloquially styled her *Sua Domina Redemptionis* ("His Lady of Redemption"), in reference to how her influence had delivered Astraeus and his house from the sins of his parents.

Valexa's personal sigil as Astraeus' wife is only a slight deviation from House Mehrkuri's original design. While it still prominently features House Merhrkuri's golden trireme on a blue field, the ship possesses white shields instead of the original gold ones, which are emblazoned with the crossed navy *mextae* of House Victus to denote her blood heritage. This sigil, albeit basic, is a metaphor for her and her husband's relationship; Astraeus is the ship which carries her forth to a new life while she is his ship's defences, shielding him from harm and preventing him from sinking.

Aula 3

Conteúdo:

* Narrativas;

materiais:

* Computador, projetor, lápis e folhas várias;

Objetivos:

* Criar os elementos a narrativa transmídia;

Desenvolvimento:

Nesta aula será apresentado de maneira resumida, os elementos que compõem uma narrativa, entre elas: Personagens, ações, elementos e cenário. E esta aula sera focado em dois elementos : Personagens e cenário, onde eles terão que desenvolver esses dois elementos, Essas duas tarefas serão criadas pela turma, em que todos de vem contribuir. A professora se portará como uma mediadora.

Será pedido para eles fazerem anotações das ideias que estão tendo. Tanto para os personagens, quanto para o cenário. E para os personagens devem confeccionar uma ficha com os dados básicos, como: nome, idade, personalidade, principal atributos físicos, sexualidade, gênero, etc . No final seria pedido para os alunos trazerem referências de personagens que eles se identificassem, podendo ser uma foto, uma frase, qualquer coisa que lembrasse o personagem.
Justificativa

O projeto foi pensado após duas experiências, as observações em sala de aula a leitura do artigo “As narrativas na cultura digital: produção de sentido, educação e transmissão de cultura” de Msc. Gabriel Lyra Chaves e Profa. Dra. Daniela Favaro Garrossini, onde me deparei com o termo: Narrativa Transmídia.
Através dessas experiências, constatei que os alunos se reuniam em grupos que não se conversavam, e muito menos se respeitavam. Então senti a necessidade de fazer um projeto para promover pelo menos i respeito . E proporcionar aos alunos uma experiência onde eles possam  criar, contar o seu lado da história  e respeitar o colega. E que melhor maneira de fazer isso que não através de uma história? E foi dentro da narrativa transmídia onde achei um “jeito” de contar história, onde toda a turma poderia participar e se apropriar da história.A narrativa transmídia é uma história, mas que diferente das outras, é dividida em partes que são lançadas por diferentes mídias, onde cada uma tenta explorar ao máximo o que tem de melhor. E com essas histórias eles possam explorar as problematizações sobre sexualidade, pois através desses personagens eles podem trocar e refletir suas angústias e alegrias.
Então explorando as relações entres os diferentes personagens, e fazendo as narrativas circularem em sala de aula, elas podem mostrar um ponto de vista diferente, diferentes perspectivas de vida, humanizar o personagem, e sensibilizar o espectador. De modo que os alunos compreendam melhor os seus colegas, que estes alunos se tornem mais sensíveis aos seus companheiros de aula.
Marriage

Marriage in turian culture is a political institution designed to foster peace between rival families and produce genetically desirable children. While there is no law against same-sex marriage in turian law, the cultural taboo against it means that very few individuals engage in it. The same is true regarding marriages with aliens, as no offspring can be produced from these unions (except for with asari, but the offspring of these unions are never turian and thus are still considered wasteful).

Turians practice a form of arranged endogamous marriage, where a third party (usually the parriarchs of the prospective couple) finds and selects the bride and groom from a particular social, economic and cultural group. A prospective bride or groom may be chosen for their rank and military accomplishments, the social standing of their family or their pedigree.

As well as the socio-political aspect of marriage alliances, turian culture places a great deal of emphasis on marriage to produce genetically desirable offspring. This belief is especially prevalent within the higher echelons of turian society, specifically among the *Familiae Martiales*. Advancing the genetic desirability of one's family via procreation is viewed as one's personal duty, both to the family unit and to society. Producing offspring with desirable genetic traits is thought to improve the species by breeding stronger, faster and more intelligent soldiers for the cause. As such, turians take their familial pedigree extremely seriously, almost to the point of reverence.

In High Cipritine the word for spouse is *conjux*, regardless of their gender. The word for husband is *maritus*, while wife is *marita*.
Eulia Valen

Eulia Cailus Valiana is a biotic *praeceptrix*, responsible for the identification and training of any Taetrian children who exhibit biotic potential. Once a cabalist of the Talae Cabal, she is a childhood friend of Desolas Arterius II and the wife of Marion Cailus, with whom she has a daughter named Alasia Cailus. She is also the maternal granddaughter of Taetrus' incumbent *primarch*, *Primarch* Idus Valen. She was the female donor in the conception of three of Desolas and Nihlus' children - Janus, Sarena and Cassian Arterius - making her their biological mother.

Imperial Family of Orian Aurix

Upon the death of Pallix Arterius and his subsequent ascension to the rank of *Primarch* of Palaven, Orian Aurix and his immediate family became the new Imperial Family of Palaven. The only member of Pallix's family who retained their right to wear purple was his wife, Rea Aurix. As she was also the half-sister of Orian, she was permitted to continue wearing purple as the new *primarch's* sibling.

Upon Orian's own death, the family of his successor were elevated to imperial status, displacing the surviving members of his family. Had she outlived him, his half-sister Rea would have eventually been elevated to imperial status again, upon the ascension of her great-granddaughter, Aurelia Abrudas.

Melaira Mehrkuri

Melaira on tour with her former husband, Regnaltus Fedorian I, circa 2184 CE.

> ***"We all wear masks to hide the ugliness of this life that we lead."***
>
>

Melaira Corinthus Mehrkuriana Natanina (known as Melaira Fedorian Mehrkuriana Natanina before her second marriage) is the only child of Maxim Mehrkuri and his wife, Palaea Natanus. Her father was killed in action during the Relay 314 Incident when she was just 4 years old, leaving her mother to raise her alone. At 16 years of age, she was married off to Primarch Regnaltus Fedorian I by her aunt in 2169 CE - a daring political move which elevated her to the position of *Conjux Domina*. She held this title for 17 years and would have likely held it for longer, had her husband not been killed in action by invading reaper forces in 2186 CE.

Two years after her husband was killed, Melaira married Achaeus Corinthus and completely retired from public life, much to her relief. She and Achaeus have two children together; a son named Tarquin and a daughter named Menaia Corinthus. She has a son named Regnaltus Fedorian II from her previous marriage, who she simply calls "Regi".

Melaira's marriage to Regnaltus was not a happy one. In addition to being physically, psychologically and sexually abusive towards her, her husband routinely restricted her freedom of movement and access to her family, using threats of violence and isolation to control her. Being little more than a child at the time of her wedding, Melaira emotionally crumbled beneath Regnaltus' cruelty. Over time she became extremely suicidal and tried multiple times to kill herself just to escape him, albeit each attempt was thwarted by him. After the birth of Regi, she swore to herself that she would not allow another child to be born into the world, not wanting to subject her children to a life where their father would have complete control over them. When she found herself with child again, she deliberately threw herself down the grand staircase of the imperial palace, causing herself to miscarry. Regnaltus' retribution was severe; he almost killed her in a fit of rage, blaming the resulting injuries on her fall.

Despite the traumatic circumstances of his conception, Melaira was extremely close with her son, whom she loved with all her heart. Under pressure from Regnaltus, she was forced to conceal his abuse of her from their son.
Traianus Tiervian

Traianus Tiervian was the first *Primarch* of Palaven to have no familial links to Aurelion Aurelos and his family. He served as the *Duarch Classium* of Palaven under *Primarch* Orian Aurix and, as the highest-ranking of his three *duarchs*, succeeded him after his death. Traianus was an extremely popular *primarch*, largely due to his extensive public building programs and implementation of social welfare policies. His extensive public building programs reshaped Cipritine and left numerous enduring landmarks, many of which continue to play a vital role in the administrative functioning of both the city and the wider empire. The chief of these landmarks is the *Forum Coloniarium*, which continues to house the diplomatic envoys from the empire's myriad colonies and client races in the modern day.

It was Traianus' reign that truly cemented Aurelion's vision for the empire, finally proving to the empire's initially sceptical citizenry that rule by merit was superior to rule by blood. While blood lineage would always remain culturally relevant to turian society, there is now a far greater emphasis on cultivating talent and possessing a virtuous character, largely thanks to Traianus' legacy.
Caherix Partinax (675 CE)

With Uchalda destroyed and Calaea disowned by her family, Caherix and Calaea went to Palaven after the Primarch had offered a home to all the survivors of Uchalda. There they tried to build a life together. Calaea gave birth to Caherix’s daughter, whom she named Amara Partinax. The pair raised their daughter together.

Caherix over time began to show signs of struggle, unable to truly process what had happened to his homeworld and family. As he grew increasingly mentally unstable, he was eventually discharged from the military on medical grounds - a fact which enraged him. He was a difficult person to get along with during this time; he was excessively irritable and often exploded into sudden bouts of rage and bitterness, having difficulty coping with any kind of stress. He also suffered from insomnia and night terrors. The only thing he seemed to have energy for was the desire for vengeance against the krogan. He could not see any other future than war. While he loved his wife and daughter deeply, he couldn’t be the husband and father they needed him to be in his current mental state.

Caherix was later approached by the Blackwatch for a secret project. He was initially sceptical at why they would want a medically discharged nobody but when they asked if he wanted to chance to make the krogan pay for Uchalda, he accepted on the spot. Caherix was given Blackwatch training and then assigned to Project Aequitor, a top secret government project which aimed to sterilise the krogan with the aid of a salarian invented bioweapon - the genophage.

After assassinating key warlords, only Caherix and Sergeants Tavus and Haut remained alive, along with their salarian STG scientist. Caherix was the highest ranking member left alive. When the salarian tried to stop him from deploying the virus, Caherix ordered Sergeant Tavus to restrain him. Tavus questioned the morality of their orders, telling him that what they were doing was genocide. Enraged, Caherix ordered Sergeant Haut to restrain them both, then slammed the button down to deploy the virus.

Caherix’s involvement with the project was kept a secret for his protection, though he was granted an audience with the Primarch of Palaven who awarded him with a sword for his service. The sword, taken from the trophy hoard of the krogan warlord, was of Uchaldan origin. Caherix would name this blade Vindicta and have it modified to represent his family. This sword would become the ancestral sword of House Partinax in the centuries to come. It was later wielded during the Reaper War by Valerio Partinax. Following his death, it was lost for some time but was later recovered on Taetrus and returned to Valerio’s son, also named Caherix.
Avitus Rix

Avitus Barro Rixianus Abrudinus is a retired turian Spectre who was handpicked to join the Andromeda Initiative by Pathfinder Macen Barro as his second-in-command. He previously served the Citadel Council for fifteen years as a Spectre before abruptly quitting, citing Spectre-Agent Saren Arterius's betrayal as the reason for his resignation, as he was the one who had recruited Avitus to the Spectres in the first place. Avitus is the mate of Macen and the pair have a daughter called Nova Barro.

As a child, Avitus was given up by his birth parents due to being pale. He was adopted by a couple from Quadim who raised him as their own and gave him the name of Avitus Rix, accepting him into their family. Unbeknownst to Avitus, he was born a member of House Abrudas.

## Relationship with Macen

Macen and Avitus are a bonded pair and have been together since before Avitus retired from the Spectres. They met in the field when the Council assigned Avitus to oversee a Blackwatch operation as their official representative. They kept in touch after the mission as friends but over time grew closer. This culminated in the pair professing their love for one another, albeit secretly.

The dangers of Avitus' life as a Spectre, coupled with the stigma against same-sex pairings in turian culture, forced the pair to keep their relationship a secret. Due to the nature of both of their jobs, they spent precious little time together but made the most of the time they could.

When Macen was approached by the Andromeda Initiative about becoming the Turian Pathfinder, he convinced Avitus that jumping galaxies was their chance to live together openly, outside of the shadows. To prove their commitment to this new life and to each other, the pair chose to bond, pledging their bodies and spirits to each other for eternity.

Avitus considers himself to be inferior to Macen, referring to himself as *"A grunt who can shoot straight but lil' else."* He struggles to keep a lid on his innate pale rage without Macen's intervention.
Imperial Family of Pallix Arterius

Upon the death of Aurelion Aurelos and his subsequent ascension to the rank of Primarch, Pallix Arterius and his immediate family became the new Imperial Family of Palaven. Unlike the imperial families of the Pre-Aurelian Era, whose members possessed the rank of Heredus/a and wore purple by the virtue of their blood, Aurelion's new laws decreed that each imperial family would be a single entity, disconnected from the previous one, and would bear no official titles (save for those who held the rank of either Primarch or Conjux Dominus/a).

Upon the death of the previous leader, their family would no longer be recognised as members of the imperial household and thus lose the right to wear purple. Not only did this trim down the number of people within the family but it also reinforced the ideology that the honour of wearing purple was something that must not be taken for granted, as such privileges do not last forever.

Thus, by design, Pallix's family displaced Aurelion's upon his ascension. Despite being of Aurelion's sacred bloodline, they were no longer considered to be members of the imperial household and automatically stripped of the right to wear purple, albeit they were still closely connected to Pallix's family through their many marriages and blood ties. The only members of Aurelion's family who retained their right to wear purple were his daughter Rea Aurix, who had married Pallix and was thus allowed to keep wearing purple as his wife, and Quintus Arterius, Aurelion's adopted grandson, whom Pallix granted special dispensation to continue wearing purple as his fatherless nephew.

Upon Pallix's own death, the family of his successor, Orian Aurix, were elevated to imperial status, displacing the surviving members of Pallix's family. Rhea, however, continued to wear purple under Orian's new rule, a right granted to her by her position as Orian's sister. She is the only member of the Imperial Family in turian history to have held the right to wear purple four times - first as the daughter of Aurelion, second as the wife of Pallix, and third as the sister of Orian. As such, she was often colloquially named *Domina Porphyrima*, which translates as the "Most Purple Lady".

* Pallix Arterius and his wife, Rea Aurix
	+ Elia Arterius and her husband Pallix's 'daughter' and son-in-law
	+ Nereia Arterius and her husband,  Pallix's daughter and son-in-law

	+ Castian Arterius and his wife - Pallix's son and daughter-in-law

* Quintus Arterius - *Pallix's nephew (granted special membership status and dispensation to wear purple, in honour of Aurelion)*
Aritaea Victus

Aritaea Victus Parvina (2204 CE - present) is the eldest child of *Primarch* Adrien Victus of Palaven and his second wife and former daughter-in-law, Iacoba Parvus. She has three siblings; a younger full-blood brother, Malkum Victus, and two older half-blood brothers, Tarquin Victus and Fidellion Victus. Due to the complicated nature of her parents' marriage, she is also Fidellion's aunt; while the pair share a mother, Aritaea's father is instead Fidellion's grandfather. She is the current heiress presumptive to the parriarchy of the Milky Way branch of House Victus and is expected to succeed her half-brother Fidellion in the event of his death, barring another member of her family being promoted above her rank.

Aritaea was married to Ennius Valen, the nephew of the *Primarch* Idus Valen of Taetrus, in a bid to repair political ties with the colony following its secession from the empire in 2191 CE. The couple have one child together; a daughter named Ida Victus, whom her father named in honour of her paternal granduncle. The marriage, and Adrien Victus' rule in general, did much to restore diplomatic relations, culminating in the signing of a treaty which enshrined Taetrus as a freely associated state, independent of the empire, to which the empire provided military protection.

In particular, Aritaea's marriage paved the way for the signing of the Vallum Agreement. The agreement was intended to curb ethno-nationalist tensions between Taetrian nationalists and Imperial loyalists. In the agreement, it is stated that both the Aurelian Empire and the Taetrian Primacy recognise the birthright of all the people of Taetrus to identify themselves and be accepted as Taetrian or Imperial, or both, and accordingly confirm that their right to hold both Taetrian and Imperial citizenship is accepted by both regimes and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Taetrus.

## Family and Lineage

Aritaea has a younger brother called Malkum Victus. Due to the complicated nature of her parents' marriage, Aritaea is both a half-sister and an aunt to Fidellion Victus, her half-brother/nephew, despite being eighteen years his junior. Fidellion's late father, Tarquin Victus, is also her half-brother, albeit Tarquin died eighteen years before her birth.

Aritaea is a blood member of House Victus, through her paternal line. She is also a direct-line descendant of her house's founder, Valexus Victus, and his wife Aritaea, the first Primarch of Bostra, for whom she is named.

The **Turtles Fighter** are a line of bootleg action figures. They're based on *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*. The pack comes with two turtles, Raphael and an unknown turtle with a yellow headband, along with two swords, two nunchucks, and four ninja stars all cast in blue plastic with no paint details. The only differences between the two turtles are the coloration, and they use the exact same mold, presumably to be cheaper. The details are shoddily done.

2181 Arion

Psi Tophet / Sigurd's Cradle / Terminus Systems

Named after the equine son of Demeter and Poseidon in Greek mythology, 2181 Arion is the second planet from the star Psi Tophet. Residing in a forgotten corner of the galaxy, this rocky planet was discovered by the Human Systems Alliance using deep-space probes in 2181, but it has never been explored by Humans or any other known species. From information collected remotely, its atmosphere appears to consist largely of hydrogen and helium and its frozen surface is encrusted in thick layers of ice.
Sarenilla Arterius

Sarenilla Arterius Coronatina is the daughter of Janus Arterius and Concordia Coronati, and the younger sister of Decian Arterius. Her father named her in memory of his late sister, Sarena Arterius, applying the feminine diminutive *-illa* to her name to mean "little Sarena". She is the paternal granddaughter of Desolas Arterius II and Nihlus Kryik, the legendary Spectre duo who led a united Milky Way galaxy to victory against the Reapers in 2168 CE. On her mother's side, she is the granddaughter of Admiral Irix Coronati, a veteran of the Reaper War and *Duarch Classis* of Palaven.
House Sparatus

The sigil of House Sparatus

### Sigil

*A gold lightening bolt dividing a blue and orange field, with an eight-pointed Aurelian star upon the blue half of the field*

House Sparatus is one of the Familiae Martiales, the Turian Hierarchy's military elite. Hailing from Bostra, they are one of the older of Palaven's military families, having risen to prominence during the Aurelian 'golden age' sparked by the culmination of the Unification War of 336 BCE. Notable family members include Councillor Laiel Sparatus, *Primarch* Domitia Sparatus of Bostra and High Priestess Sibella Sparatus of Bostra.

House Sparatus' sigil is very unique and steeped in symbolism. The design depicts a highly stylised Bostran desert - the orange half of the field represents the desert sands, while the blue half is the endless desert sky. The lightning bolt which divides the field represents Bostra's life-giving rainstorms, which ensure the planet's continued habitability and viability as a colony. The eight-pointed Aurelian star has several concurrent meanings. It is a collective visual representation of the heavens, House Sparatus' continued loyalty to Aurelion's empire and veneration of him as a Living Spirit, and, perhaps most importantly, Aritaea Sparatus, who was one of the seven original *primarchs* chosen by Aurelion to rule the colonies in his name. While Aritaea technically ruled Bostra as 'Aritaea Victus', being the widow of Valexus Victus, she was a Sparatus by birth. Thus, House Sparatus likes to claim ownership of her and her achievements.
Turian Military

The Turian Military, known as the Imperial Armed Forces to the turians themselves, is the state military service responsible for the defence of the Turian Empire and its client states. It is at the centre of turian society, acting as an all-encompassing public works organisation, whose mantra is *"service equals citizenship"*. Additionally, it contributes to Council peacekeeping efforts and provides material and logistic assistance to its allies in times of disaster. The turian military is renowned for its superior firepower and the formidable discipline of its soldiers. It is the leading military power in the Milky Way galaxy.

The Imperial Armed Forces consist of: the Imperial Navy, an FTL-capable fleet, together with its Marines, a highly specialised amphibious light infantry force; the Imperial Army, the empire's principal land warfare branch; and the Imperial Air Force, a technologically sophisticated air force with a diverse operational fleet. Its commander-in-chief is the Primarch of Palaven, to whom members of the forces swear allegiance, regardless of colonial origin.

## Imperial Navy

The Imperial Navy consists of approximately 4000 ships, including 40 dreadnoughts. Its flagship is *THV Indomitus*.
Septonian Abrudas

Septonian Abrudas Mirinus was the son of *Primarch* Aurelion "Auri" Abrudas of Carthaan and his bonded wife, Elissa Miras. He was the older brother of Trebia Abrudas. He was named in honour of his great-grandmother, *Imperatrix* Septonia Halabrian, the consort of *Imperator* Aurelion Aurelos and last *Imperatrix* of the empire. He was the grandson of *Primarch* Markus Abrudas of Carthaan and the great-grandson of Aurelion *Imperator*.

Septonian would marry his paternal second cousin, Drusilla Arterius, in a bid to bolster the Aurelian genetics in House Abrudas' bloodline. Their union would usher in a period of incestuous intermarriage between Houses Abrudas, Arterius and Aurelos, which would last for several centuries. This practice of historical inbreeding has led to a loss of genetic diversity, resulting in a higher concentration of the pale gene within the gene pools of these three great houses.

Septonian was a firm believer in Aurelion’s vision but had doubts about the ability of the new *Primarchs* of Palaven to safeguard it. Regarding Aurelion’s succession act, Septonian agreed that merit should be the sole determiner of social mobility but felt his great-grandfather had placed too much faith in the goodness of people’s hearts when it came to leadership. He believed that the empire needed to be ruled by the descendants of Aurelion to preserve his legacy and guide his people to enlightenment. Thus, in his mind, the Aurelian Throne should have kept the original blood succession laws.

Septonian believed his father, Aurelion Abrudas, was the rightful *Imperator* and thus he was the rightful heir to the throne as his son. In private he referred to himself as *Heredus*, a title translating as “prince” and, likewise, called his daughter, Aurelia Abrudas, *Hereda*, or “Princess”. Using his power as *Primarch* of Carthaan, Septonian would successfully place his daughter on the Aurelian Throne by ensuring she was born there, becoming one of the first to bend Aurelion’s laws about colonial birthrights.

*Primarch* Aurelia would later be assassinated after trying to alter Aurelion’s succession laws, as ordered by her father, demonstrating to Septonian that too much time had passed since Aurelion’s reign to be able to change his laws so easily; the people would no longer accept Aurelion’s descendants as rulers unless they had legitimately earned the throne through merit. His ambition cost him his only child and sent him into a deep depression. He would later commit ritual suicide to absolve the family of his perceived avarice.

A song known as *The* *Lament of Septonian* documents this historical event and acts as a cautionary tale to those who would seek to undermine Aurelion’s sacred meritocracy.

New Style Ninja Tortoise

The New Style Ninja Tortoise is a line of Ninja Turtles bootlegs. The package shows a picture of Michelangelo with three toes, even though the figure only has two, and five fingers. The figure itself has a mostly unique mold, with all details added with stickers, including an S and the word "tortoise". It's hollow. It comes with a variety of random weapons that can only be held easily in its right hand. They're bigger than most real turtle figures
Fabia Victus

Fabia Victus Verrikina was the second child and only daughter of Fabien Victus and his wife, Matidia Verrikan. She was the wife of Jonas Sparatus, with whom she had two sons; Matien Victus and Justinien Victus. She was murdered during the Night of Martyrs on the orders of Astraea Mehrkuri, alongside her husband, her eldest son, her daughter-in-law, Laurentia Korilius; and her granddaughter-in-law, Lysia Marnek, who was five months pregnant with her great-grandson.

Fabia served as a *legata* in the Bostran colonial army, commanding between 5000-7000 troops, before she requested a transfer to the Palalven to assist her older brother in his new position of *Primarch* of Palaven. Adrien would often seek her counsel and considered her to be one of his most trusted advisors. When Adrien was away on active duty at the time of his son's premature birth, it was Fabia who comforted his wife in her final moments and cared for her newborn nephew until Adrien could return home.

Fabia was named after her father, Fabien, by her mother.
Turtles Fighters

The Turtles Fighters are a line of low-quality Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bootlegs from China with incredibly poor paint jobs. The front of the package depicts three turtles, all with red headbands, even through the actual figures can have different colored headbands. One holds a bo staff, another two sai, and the last clutches his head like he has a headache. The package tries to imitate a real Ninja Turtles package by using a similar art style and using the slogan "Heroes in a half-shell". The back of the package is blank. The bodies of the figures all use the original Playmates Raphael, though the heads seem random. The bodies are usually hollow. Their insignias seem random and don't usually match the turtles. Some of them have a pentagram shape carved into the top of their heads for some reason. The teeth are painted particularly sloppily. They have a lot of plastic run-offs, causing random globs of plastic all over them. Some of them come in weird colors, including an albino-looking turtle with what looks like blood on its mouth. Some of them come wearing harnesses from Galaxy Warriors. They come with various accessories, including Galaxy Warriors weapons and a pitchfork from a Chuck Norris toy.

Lucilla Strabo

Lucilla Strabo Malikina was the mother of the famed Spectre-Agent Nihlus Kryik. Hailing from the planet Bostra, she was the only child of Group Captain Isaeus Strabo and his wife, Alma Malikus.

Lucilla, ran away from home after her father betrothed her to a man she did not wish to marry. Her actions brought great shame to her family; she was tried *in absentia* and convicted for desertion by the Imperial Armed Forces, the punishment for which was dishonourable discharge from the military and a public execution order, should she ever be apprehended.

She fled to Omega in the Terminus System, where she sought work as a mercenary. While on a job, her mercenary band unwittingly stepped on the toes of the infamous pirate lord, Aeson Kryik, who demanded tribute as recompense for his financial losses. The amount of credits the band accumulated to pay Aeson off was less than the figure he wanted and thus they threw Lucilla into the deal as a slave. Aeson accepted the deal and took Lucilla as his personal slave.

Lucilla was subject to horrendous abuse from Aeson, both physical and sexual. She eventually found herself with child and gave birth to Aeson's son, Nihlus. Aeson intended to sell his son into slavery to be rid of him but Lucilla convinced him to keep the boy, telling him that, through Nihlus, he could forge a dynasty that would strike terror into the hearts of Terminus citizens for centuries to come. Aeson, forever vain and hungry for more power, was swayed by her argument and began to sculpt his son into the perfect heir for his criminal empire.

Nihlus was Lucilla's world and her motivation to continue living. Over the years she managed to gain Aeson's trust and persuaded him to let her work for him as a fellow pirate, eventually rising to the rank of her First Mate, before earning enough credits to eventually buy her son's freedom. After Nihlus had turned sixteen she began to plan their escape, to return to Bostra, in the hopes of giving her son a normal life. She would die by Aeson's hand, sacrificing her life to buy Nihlus time to escape aboard a shuttle bound for Bostra.
Trebia Aurelos

> ***"In another life, I would have liked to have called you Father..."** - Trebia to Markus, on their wedding night.*
>
>

Trebia Abrudas Aureliana Halabrina was the daughter and only legitimate child of Aurelion *Imperator* by his estranged wife, Septonia Halabrian. She was also the first wife of Markus Abrudas and the mother of his son, Aurelion "Auri" Abrudas. Renowned for her wisdom and beauty, she was once the most desirable woman in the world, becoming the muse for some of turian culture's most important artistic and literary works.

Naturally, she possessed countless suitors from across her father's empire, each coveting her as a means to get closer to Aurelion. Believing none of Trebia's suitors had her best interests at heart, Aurelion reluctantly chose to wed her to Markus Abrudas, his second-in-command and secret lover, who had known her for her entire life. The relationship was mostly platonic, with Markus viewing Trebia as more of a daughter than a wife. That said, they did conceive a child together, albeit under great pressure to further the imperial bloodline.

This fateful decision would ultimately cut Trebia's life short. At only 23 years old, she died from a post-natal fever a week after giving birth to their son. Grieving for her loss, Markus swore to raise Auri in his mother's image so that he would always know her love. Trebia's embalmed body would be moved to Palaven via mortuary ship a few days after her death, where she received a state funeral and was entombed in the Aurelian Funerary Palace. She was the first to be interred there, followed by her bereaved mother just a year later. Her father later raised a monument in her memory outside the Imperial Palace, which displayed a statue of her likeness and an inscription detailing her parents' boundless love for her.

## Biography

### Relationship with Markus

Trebia first met Markus a year after her birth, in 334 BCE, after her father had successfully captured Carthaan and liberated its slaves. For the next ten years, Trebia would grow up surrounded by her father's troops as she and her mother accompanied him on his campaigns, which, naturally, included Markus. Due to his proximity to Aurelion and constant presence in her life, Trebia came to view Markus as an uncle. She often helped him to practice his literacy skills by reading her children's story books along with him, demonstrating how the letters of the High Cipritine alphabet sounded when put together in a word.
Turian Funerary Practices

A source of fascination to alien cultures, the turians have an elaborate set of funerary practices that they believe are necessary to ensure their spirit's safe passage into the afterlife. These protocols include preserving the body of the deceased, invoking the Spirits through ritual and prayer, and burial with specific grave goods to help the spirit of the deceased retain their mortal identity. It is also customary for turians to be interred in family vaults, located within their signature necropoli, although the scale and grandeur of such vaults is largely dependent on geographical location and a family's social stature.

The turian burial process has changed little over the millennia. Although specific details have changed slowly over time, the preparation of the body, spiritual rituals, and grave goods all remain essential parts of a proper turian funeral. Another core part of a turian funeral service is the practice of keening - wailing in lamentation for the dead - which typically happens in the latter part of the ceremony, when the deceased family member is being lowered into their tomb and as their tomb is being sealed.
Saira Caesonia

Saira Victus nee Caesonia is a Bostran woman, most well-known for being the wife (and bondmate) of Adrien Victus.

## History

She was the younger of two children; her older sibling was her brother, Audax. When she attended Bootcamp, she ended up being the one who was teased and beaten up. Her scores were below average, and her parents were quite disappointed in her.

Her family expected her to go into the military; she, however, preferred to serve the Hierarchy in other ways. Often, she would sing to impress the troops. She always felt lonely, despite getting attention from men. Everyone she ended up with was trying to use her in one way or another. She had given up on men when she met a young officer named Adrien. Her singing had caught his eye.

And he was a Victus; far out of her league. He approached her, however, getting to know her, and he left her with his number. They would continue to meet again and eventually begin dating. She was cautious at first, but he was different from the other men she'd been with. He was a true gentleman, and she ended up falling in love.

The two of them eventually married. Their love for each other grew even deeper yet, and they decided to further their connection by bonding with one another.

Saira had always wanted to be a mother. When she was pregnant, both of them were excited. It would be a boy, for whom they chose the name Tarquin. When he was born, however, there were complications, and she died, while Tarquin survived.

She was buried in the Victus family vault. To this day, Adrien mourns her loss.

## Family & Lineage

The Caesonia family is Bostran in descent, and most of its members reside on Bostra. They are a young family, and the house has little influence. They are, however, known for their unwavering religious faith.

She has an older brother, Audax Caesonia, who is an officer in the Hierarchy's Seventh Fleet.

She was married to Adrien Victus, and through him, joined House Victus. They had one son, Tarquin, before her death. Tarquin had one grandson, Fidellion, before his death.
Glabius

Glabius was the penultimate Imperator of Palaven and predecessor of Aurelion Aurelos. He was universally reviled by his subjects for his extreme cruelty, decadence and impiety. His reign came to a violent and bloody end when he and his entire court were assassinated by colonial separatists in 335 BCE. Aurelion is recorded to have called him *"the vilest of men, deserving of complete erasure from history."*
Kiron Caelax

Kiron Victus Caelianus is the husband of Irixia Victus. Their marriage is a political entity that was arranged by his grandfather, Primarch Menelus Caelax of Macedyn and his wife's father, Primarch Fidellion Victus of Palaven. Upon his marriage to Irixia, he joined the ranks of House Victus, leaving his birth house of House Caelax behind. Kiron is a distant cousin of Marcia Abrudas, whose mother was Euphemia Caelax, making him, by extension, a distant cousin of his wife.
Achaea Arterius

Achaea Arterius Corinthina is the daughter and youngest child of Desolas Arterius III and his late bonded wife, Achaea Corinthus. She was named by her father in memory of her mother, Achaea Corinthus, who died in childbirth with her. She has three full-blood siblings - Desola Arterius, Fidellion Arterius and Selena Arterius - and a younger half-blood brother - Solaeus Arterius. As the great-granddaughter of Primarch Fidellion Victus, she was entitled to wear purple from birth but, like her siblings, only did so on formal occasions.
