**Alexa von Osus** is a Metahuman and Military Officer of the Multiversal Union of Quoss. More specifically, she is the Lieutenant Colonel of the 118th Foreign Regiment stationed in Atlann. In Legacy, she participated in the operation to retake Atlann from the clutches of the traitorous Supreme Praetor and the Vortex.

## **Appearance**

Alexa is a tall, somewhat muscular yet slender woman of delicate complexion. She has long ashen-white hair, green eyes and a fine nose. She is noted amongst her peers to be angelic in appearance, despite not being remotely related to them.

She wears her MUQ Foreign Regiments uniform, with an added gray coat-ish cape and a pair of stylized dark goggles that she keeps over her head. In difference to her soldiers, Alexa has a plaque indicating her higher rank within the unit.

## **Personality**

Alexa is a person who is extroverted and with a broad sense of justice, that being her reason to fight and lead the unit. She usually speaks in a very cheerful and composed manner, but is notably more relaxed than her fellow officers in deployment, although not easily shaken. On the flipside, to the people she holds to great esteem she presents herself as a deeply caring and almost motherly person, most notably to Theocydes Lohart.

In combat situations and high risk operations, Alexa is able to stay focused and act as a formidable commander and combatant. Her metahuman ability of metal manipulation is also notoriously powerful and an excellent asset in battle.

## **Biography**

### **Early Life**

#### **Childhood**

Alexa von Osus was born in the year 20 P.T. on one of the rural provinces of the planet of Atlann. She was born a hybrid between her atlantean mother and metahuman father, who had escaped into the countryside following the breakout of the Second League War with the Solar Union.

For a large part of her childhood, Alexa was raised a normal girl in the rural town but had to see her father being taken as a prisoner and later one of the various humans who would be executed under the harsh doctrine of the Anti-Human Emperor Chronos. After this incident, and with incitement of her mother's last words, Alexa became determined to join the Atlantean Military and reshape it from the ground up.

#### **Early Military Service**

In 38 P.T., Alexa transferred to the capital with the money left behind from her mother's will and drafted into the Atlantean Military Programme. With the fall of Emperor Chronos and the ongoing migration crisis happening in Avalon and other borderworlds of the Empire, Alexa's resolve only grew greater.

She was about to finish her training with highest grades when the truth behind her heritage came to light, and she was kicked out of the special forces. With her future and objective in shambles, Alexa was forced to work a desk job as an officer at the local Quoss embassy.

It was at this time however, that the local MUQ contingent was deployed and she was taken under the wing of Lieutenant Colonel Faulkner who saw the potential in the young officer. Being assigned as a squad captain of the 118th Foreign Regiment, she led a group of soldiers (with soldiers Jenn Livha and Zotie Lohart amongst them) to aid in the crisis.

Around the year 46, Alexa was to be sent in search of the ruby sword of Enton, but her mission was called off after violent protests erupted over the Empire after the rise of pro-peace Emperor Sylvanus shook the nation. During this turmoil, she would participate as a sort of riot police defending the Imperial Acropolis while the political situation stabilized under the new rule. Amidst the protests, Faulkner was killed in the crossfire and by orders of the supervising General of the MUQ forces in the Orion Dimension, she was promoted to the rank Lieutenant Colonel of the 118th.

In 52 P.T., Von Osus befriended and took Theocydes Lohart as her protégé as they both shared the hybrid genetics and both suffered similar injustices. It was also around this time she made Livha her second in command. She would gain notoriety amongst her men as well, and became known as one of the best commanders to ever lead the regiment.

### **Iron Nations: Legacy**

#### **Fall of the Western Apollonir**

Six years later, Alexa and the TDO's Subdirector Albrecht began concocting a joint operation to rescue the Orian Governor General Silva in the Western Apollonir region of the Far North, which had fallen to advances from the Vortex. Under this coordinated mission, Alexa sent Theo as her best soldier to pair up with Albrecht's top commando Elizabeth Jäger. During the majority of this conflict, Alexa remained posted in her base on Atlann.

However, after all contact was lost and an emergency signal from Ranger Angelo Blanca informed the civilized galaxy of the dangers of Castellon's occupation, she would heed the call to the Liberation of Avan alongside Admiral Jäger and General Roux from the TDO's Exploration Force. During this struggle, she joined Jäger and Clone Commander Drake in their strike team to meet up with Blanca's group. She would first engage in combat with Commander Leone Romano alongside the Protector of Novaterra while Drake and the others gathered with Angelo, Elizabeth and Theo. When the enemy was seemingly defeated, she and Jäger left for another front of the battle in order to secure a landing area for allied troops.

After the battle, Alexa was present when Captain Blanca offered her protégé and Elizabeth positions within his Gendarmerie team. She allowed her subordinate to go on an extended mission as an emissary within Angelo's Team. Von Osus would then return to Avan to continue her role as commander of the soldiers from her regiment.

#### **Atlantean Galactic Crisis**

Six months later, Alexa welcomed Angelo's Team back in her base in Atlann after the group were sent to look for the Wings of Naucrates relic. Allowing for their ship, the RSS Phoenix, to be positioned in her compound. That same night, while having a small conversation with Lohart, she took in the wounded Vaultkeeper Azurean and the Grand Captain Artoria escaping from Atlantean soldiers. Hearing news of a coup d'etat taking place, she learned of the target on her head. Whilst military forces led by the Royal Guard Vice-Captain inspected the base, Captain Blanca offered her and the others a chance to escape with his team.

After leaving the besieged Atlann, she landed in one of the deserted borderworlds of the Empire. After the Atlantean's explanation of what was truly happening that night, Von Osus and a couple of others were lured onto a nearby chasm. There, she would fight the now empowered spy Crane Crater, who had been granted one of the Imperial Relics for his service in killing Inspector Ares. After the enemy was wounded by Artoria and the cut apart by the Cosmos Man, Alexa witnessed Angelo's defiance before Lieutenant General Crossley and agreed to support his plan to retake Atlann with the rest of the crew aboard the Phoenix.

Being ferried to Benitan by Crossley's battleship the RSS Allegiance, Colonel von Osus remained on the sidelines though unofficially leading Blanca's team while the latter dealt with the bureaucracy of his defiance and the intricacies of his plan. By orders of the Ranger, she was placed as the supervisor of the joint training exercise as they remained in hiding in the polar region of the planet, while Angelo rested. During the final duel of the excercise, Alexa intervened with the others in order to surround and nearly defeat Captain Aurelion who had stolen the Wings of Naucrates from Azurean during the coup and had later attacked Angelo whilst he met with his commanding officer, Felix Sarvar.

After the apparent death of the enemy, she and the others travelled to Atlann to execute Angelo's plan. She would learn of the survival and misunderstandings with Aurelion, and would realize the involvement of General Selenos (Sylvanus' son) as the main key factor to the upcoming liberation attempt. Right before the battle, Alexa met up with Livha who had taken command of the 118th in her abscence, and explained that only a two hundred of the original soldiers remained in Atlann, while the rest left to another base in a mass retreat. During the initial stages of the fight, Alexa and her unit aided Angelo's squad to divert any reinforcements to the entrance to the Imperial Acropolis while Aurelion, Artoria and Azurean faced off against the Royal Guard captain.

Once they finally cleared the entrance to the palace, Alexa left her unit behind to join up with the Ranger's reinforcements and the extermination team that would storm the building. Failing to stop the awakening of the God of Thorns, Von Osus stayed behind in Angelo's Squad to face off against the Supreme Praetor while Jäger Squad chased after Marshal Scippius. During the fight, Alexa would be put out of comission after the tyrant made use of the Scarlet Moon, barely surviving after Selenos killed him. Once the raid was finished, Alexa would finally see the fruits of her work as Selenos was made the new Emperor, she was granted permission to rework the bases of the Atlantean Empire's miltary doctrine.

## **Abilities**

### **Metalbending**

Alexa's Metahuman power allows her to freely control metal, making her capable of constructing and deconstructing objects. This ability is exceptionally useful as it grants her the ability to create weapons out of basically thin air and also other structures to move around or shield herself during combat. In it's most heightened state, this power can grant Alexa the means to disable moving vehicles and even weaponry used by the enemies she is fighting.
