Ankarstian - otherwise known as Ank - was a Time Lord from the Gallifreyan colony planet of Jewel. (CW: *The Children of Rassilon*)

## Costume

At the beginning of the war, Ankarstian wore a red shirt with a dark red collar, sleeves, and hem. She also had short hair and wore blue jeans (CW: *Sephulchre*-*Siege*). She, occasionally, wore a red hat taken from "The Gallery" (CW: *Gallery of Dreams*, *Genesis*)

After the destruction of RCARS, Ankarstian changed her costume. She wore a dark black jacket over varying t-shirts. She also grew out her hair and started putting on makeup (CW: *The Final Sanction*-*Town of the Damned*)

After the events of Colman, AL, Ankarstian stopped wearing the jacket (CW: *Town of the Damned*-*...Must Come to an End*)

While on the USS Perseus, Ankarstian wore a modified crew outfit (CW: *Pirates of the Pleiades* et. al.)

## Character

Ankarstian tried to be on the side of good. (CW: *Sephulchre* et. al.).

She was *extremely* horny, with it being mentioned that "half of [Mutter's Spiral] had shagged her". She even generated a male version of herself to shag her once (CW: *The Memory Eater*, *The Shoal*; PER: *Mission to Medusa*)

Ankarstian was also something of an alcoholic - with her frequently getting drunk (CW: *Town of the Damned*, *The Feast of Sorna*)

While being able to handle space and time travel, Ankarstian was slightly seasick (CW: *The Water Monsters*)

Some time after leaving Xoras, the Resistance arrived on a desert planet. Ankarstian and Kieli decided to investigate the disappearance of an archaeological team, however, they were kidnapped by two Osalus prisoners and brought to a crashed prison ship which resembled an ancient temple. Ankarstian was infected by one of the prisoners, which caused her body to gain attributes of the Osalus. Ankarstian's Osali then crossed over a time bridge on the ship - bringing Kieli along with her to serve as a handmaiden for her.

Some time after this, the Resistance arrived on the future ship and unbonded Ankarstian - killing the Osalus that had bonded to her. Ankarstian then set the time bridge to self-destruct and crossed through it with the rest of the Resistance before it destroyed itself. The Resistance then left the planet in Ank's TARDIS (CW: Pyramids)

After leaving the colony planet, Ank would show displeasure for the prevalence of ice planets in her travels. She, and the rest of the Resistance, found themselves on the planet Gor - a lava planet. She found out about the attacks by the "lava golems" which were thought to be caused by the fifth part of the Neach-Gleidhidh Uine - however - it turned out that they were caused by the Bathala, a race of beings made of fire. They were being led by Dorcha Aon, who kidnapped Ank to try and get the whole Neach-Gleidhidh Uine. This failed, however, and the Resistance managed to throw Dorcha Aon and the Bathala into an empty dimension (CW: Hephaesteus)

After leaving Inter Ophiuchius, Ankarstian's TARDIS was sent back into the Dark Universe - specifically into a system called the Entropic Chain. Arriving in a city on the chain, Poseidon discovered that the Chain subsisted off of the entropy wave that destroyed his people. Trying to cheer Poseidon up, Ankarstian brought him to a bar, however, she encountered her ex-boyfriend Finn in the bar. The duo argued until they were attacked by a Skreever. They managed to fight it off, however, Ankarstian discovered that the Skreevers were planning to take over the entire Chain and eat everyone in it. Ankarstian decided to trace the Skreevers' mothership in her TARDIS, however, she and Finn were kidnapped by a Skreever and taken to their mothership. As such, Areex and Poseidon had to trace the ship themselves.

Ank and Finn discovered that the Skreevers had gained an ally - Dorcha Aon. He planned to weaponize the entropy within the Chain so that he could bring chaos over the entire universe. Ankarstian and Finn managed to create a seed of discord within Dorcha Aon and the Skreevers. This led to the Skreever commander and Aon beginning to argue. This allowed Ank and Finn to scuttle the Skreevers' mothership while the Skreevers were distracted. They also managed to hit the self-destruct button by accident and nearly went up with the ship, however, Poseidon and Areex managed to materialize around the duo and save them. Afterwards, Ank and Finn "re-acquainted". In the aftermath, Finn decided to stay on the Entropic Chain and Ankarstian and company left the Chain (CW: The Entropic Chain)

Some time after leaving the Dark Universe, the Resistance caught wind of the Alliance's attack on Ardonia. A time gate was set up on the Epsilon Zone that linked up to Fort Zuka. Ankarstian was the first through the time gate and was greeted by several guards from the Felden Kingdom. After arriving, a banquet was held to welcome the Resistance to Ardonia. Ankarstian, Poseidon, and Areex met with Captain Kiyoshi - a high-ranking Felden official - and the Cabinet of Alnair - an ally of the Resistance. They discussed the possibility than an Eversiscendant base was present at the "Heart of Ardonia" - a location at the center of the Ardonian mainland.

A group of Resistance soldiers set off for the base and Ankarstian, Poseidon, and Areex were the first at the base. They were brought into the base by robots and then knocked out. It turned out that the "base" was the TARDIS of a Time Lord renegade called the Rani who had been experimenting on inhabitants of Ardonia and who had kidnapped Thorn and Adriano. She experimented on the three captured Resistance members - with Ank talking to the Rani about just who she was. The Rani then tried to "analyze" the Resistance members using a molecular destructor array, however, Thorn was able to break his conditioning and tried to kill the Rani. This allowed the Resistance members to escape from their captivity, however, Thorn and Adriano kept them trapped inside of the Rani's TARDIS. This lasted until the Resistance breaked down the sentient metal barriers around the Rani's TARDIS and started to attack it. As such, the Rani was forced to leave the planet after ejecting Ankarstian, Areex, Poseidon, Thorn, Adriano, and all of her specimens from her TARDIS. Thorn and Adriano were able to escape Resistance capture and Ankarstian vowed to find them (CW: The Wall)

Shortly after the Battle of the Kawaiin Islands, Ankarstian was woken up from a nap by a Vardan assassin being killed by a Macroswing. After finding the assassin's body, Ankarstian was summoned by the Cabinet to the site of a crashed ship. While travelling to the crash site, the caravan that the Resistance was travelling in was attacked by Voltaris warriors. During the battle, all of the warriors were killed by the Ardoni warriors travelling with them. Ank was horrified by this until she found out that they had cybernetic enhancements that let the Alliance control them fully.

The caravan then arrived at the crash site. Ankarstian and Lobotius analyzed the ship until it opened - revealing Kastophagen warriors. These warriors were defeated by Lobotius and the leader had his mind read by Lobotius - revealing that they were sent by the Daleks. Ankarstian and several other Resistance members set off for Old Voltaria - where they encountered two Voltaris workers (Kalthex and Jorex Voltaris) fleeing from a domed enclosure inside of Old Voltaria. They were then captured by the Daleks - who sent them in to destroy the "War Chief" (the leader of a group of rogue Daleks called the New Dalek Order). While in the enclosure, Ankarstian watched as the NDO revealed that they planned to exterminate all life that wasn't a New Order Dalek and exterminated most of the Voltari within the dome. Ankarstian, Kalthex, and Jorex then battled the Daleks and managed to stop them from exterminating everyone within the dome. The Daleks then arrived and attempted to kill the Voltari in the dome for "allying" themselves with the NDO, however, the Voltari were able to manipulate the Daleks' laser beams due to many Voltari possessing an ability to manipulate laser beams. In the aftermath, the Daleks and the NDO were forced to leave the planet, however, they were attacked by the Alliance and the NDO ship crashed - presumably destroying the War Chief (CW: War and the Daleks) and opening a rift in spacetime which allowed beings from other dimensions to enter Ardonia (CW: Legacy of the House Voltaris, Ghosts of Ardonia, Monsters, The Battle for Ardonia)

While visiting Sendaria, the Resistance found out about an Ardoni (Caecus Sendaris) who was talking to spirits using a song called the Ghost song. While investigating Caecus, they found out that the "spirits" were actually members of a non-corporeal race called the Osexspiravit that were attempting to invade Ardonia. The Resistance stopped the Osexspiravit from invading and then left Sendaria (CW: Ghosts of Ardonia)

Ankarstian contacted the sister planet of Ardonia - Vandaria - to help with the Battle of Ardonia. Shortly after the message was sent, necromancers started to attack Fort Zuka. A group of Reyns led by General Kost arrived on Ardonia through a time gate and Kost contacted a mage - Kendo Virmir. Virmir and Ankarstian got into an argument until Kieli broke it up. Virmir, Lobotius, Phage, and Axel set off for a mysterious dimension called the Plank Maze while Ankarstian, Poseidon, Areex, and Virmir's "alter ego" Lucille battled the necromancers. The battle went south until Lobotius and company (minus Phage but plus a mercenary named Kalem) re-joined with the Resistance. Lobotius used the Idol of Ushan to send out a psychic wave that disrupted the necromancers control over the dead. Many necromancers were killed by felina soldiers after this and the remaining necromancers retreated (CW: The Maze)

After the Fort Zuka siege, the Alliance grew tired with Ardonia and decided to leave the planet. Fort Square was the only remaining Alliance base. The Resistance decided to raid Fort Square. Ankarstian took part in this raid and navigated the labyrinth of Fort Square. While in the labyrinth she was attacked by the Eversiscendant bots, however, she was able to fend them off. She - and the rest of the Resistance - were forced to retreat a distance after a defense was tripped causing "liquid void" to flood half of the corridors within the Fort. They then encountered a Kl'rel guard and were able to defeat it. They were then able to enter the control room of Fort Square, where they encountered the Rani - who had managed to capture the Eversiscendants. One of the Eversiscendants, Thorn, was able to break out of the pods that the Rani was using and snap her neck - causing her to regenerate. A short battle then began - with Ank and Poseidon battling Thorn and Beanley while Areex and Axel fought Adriano and Cubeson. This battle ended with the Eversiscendants being defeated and the Alliance leaving the planet fully.

A victory celebration was held in Fort Zuka. During this celebration, Ankarstian revealed her suspicions that Areex had been possessed by a being called a Jessaulax due to some of Cubeson's injuries. While the injuries were nothing more than regular damage, Areex had indeed been possessed by a Jessaulax that intended to take over the planet Ardonia with its fellows. Ank was able to force it to detach and kill it. In the aftermath of this battle, she realised that there was a colony of Jessaulax that had a link to Ardonia. As such, a ship (the Nebula) that could travel into the dimensional tear that the Resistance used to enter Ardonia was made. This ship was sent into the rift and immediately crashed into a piece of dimensional flotsam - spreading the members of the Resistance across the Starlanna Belt (CW: The Raid)

The next stop in the search for the Kleister virus was an alien hideout in 1987. While there, they found out that the hideout was under attack by a race called the Litch. While in the camp, two Resistance members - Virmir and Lobotius - were kidnapped by a being called the Jester and thrown across spacetime (CW: Jester's Trials). One of the workers in the camp was infected by the virus and he passed it on to one of the Litch. The Resistance were able to stop the Litch from infecting everyone in the camp and forced them out of the camp (CW: Concealment). Shortly after this Virmir, Lobotius, and two other beings (Cyl Drathra and Nyle Johnson) were spat back into the camp. Nyle decided to stay in the camp and Cyl joined the Resistance. Ank fawned over Cyl shortly before he joined (CW: Jester's Trials)

After leaving the Valor, Ankarstian's TARDIS fell in a crack in spacetime and arrived on an experimental timeship. Ankarstian and the rest of the Resistance investigated murders on the timeship, however, they were unable to find a culprit until Ank was attacked by the murderer - which turned out to be a child's entertainer GELF named Agraxex. Agraxex then tried to ram the timeship into Earth - which would have destroyed it - but was stopped by Ank and Poseidon sabotaging the engines. This caused them to explode - throwing Ankarstian's TARDIS (with the Resistance in it) out of the universe that the timeship was in (CW: The Ship of Time) and freezing the ship in time for ~3 million years (RD: Into Time)

Arriving on a space station in the Deepspace, Ankarstian and the rest of the Resistance found that several Resistance members who were in hiding after the destruction of RCARS were living on the station. While on the station, they were attacked by a Materiavore and opened up the doors to the top levels of the station - where they found that the station's engine was dangerously unstable. Ankarstian and Thosth - one of the inhabitants of the station - fixed the engine before it could go critical. They were then attacked by the Materiavore and nearly killed, however, they managed to flush it into space. The Resistance members on the station then decided to join up with the rest of the Resistance, however, they stayed on the station. (CW: Space)

### Dimensional Adventures

During her dimensional travels, Ank had a superpowerful being named Q for a boyfriend. They broke up at some point - leading to both of them despising each other somewhat. (PER: Q and Seek)

### To Boldly Go

Some time after leaving the Pleiades Cluster, the crew of the Perseus was sent to survey an "impossible world". While surveying it, Q materialized on the Perseus. Ank and Q initially argued but then he revealed that he was going to give Ank his powers (against his will). Q gave Ank his powers and during this transaction Ank accidentally materialized on the planet.

While exploring the planet, Q and Ank found a being that lived on the planet. They found out that the being was made by the Q to serve as a companion to Q while he lived out the rest of his life. The duo were then attacked by the Calamarain - seeking revenge for what Q did to them (TNG: Deja Q). Ankarstian used her powers to repel the Calamarain. Afterwards, Ank and Q found a spot that the Q made and they summoned the Q. Ankarstian bargained with the Q to give Q back his powers. Ank succeeded and she departed from the planet afterwards. The Perseus then surveyed the planet and left (PER: Q and Seek)

Seeking revenge on the Perseus while it was over Earth, the Furies started to attack it. They nearly managed to destroy the station, however, Ankarstian was able to make a waveform that cancelled out the Furies after analyzing a captured Fury. This led to the Furies retreating back to the Sigma Quadrant (PER: Claws of the Furies)
