Beautiful Skies: Main Characters and Cast
Geno-typers
Unlike the majority of the Empyr before the First Interstellar War, most in the rebellion had had extensive genetic changes. "Geno-typers" (which was shortened to "Genos" later) was what the colonists called themselves, as most of them were Children of Lamarck.

| Ark Winston |  | 15 | Drak (Iguana hybrid)/Devastator 13 | The youngest Devastator, and the second most powerful psychic on the planet of Beautiful Skies, Ark is something of an enigma. Found wandering in the Wastes when he was eleven, his immense psionic prowess got him shoved into the devastator program when he was twelve, and he saw his first battlefield at thirteen. Since then, he has killed countless numbers of Religs. He wants nothing other than to eradicate the Religs, and thinks of his rank as a tool to that end. Despite his one-track-mind appearance, he has a calculating side that is beyond his years. First Appearance |
| Joel Rainer |  | 35 | Slith (Anaconda hybrid)/Devastator 1 | Joel Rainer was born on one of the Stations that used to orbit Beautiful Skies; his family moved down to the planet after his younger sister was born, after which his parents separated. His mother took him to Gnualla, where he would live until its destruction twenty years later. Joel is the most powerful psychic employed by the Geno navy. He has been in the devastator program since it was founded, and as such knows the most about the rest of the Devastators; however, he did not discover his Devastator abilities until two years into the war. Joel sees himself as a father figure to many of his younger charges. First Appearance |
| Daniel Shcroeed |  | 18 | Drak/Devastator 31 | Normally laid-back and emotional, Daniel "Dani" Schroeed is the easy-going pacifist-with-a-gun. Born in the megalopolis of Daota, a major stopping point for caravans traveling the Argentine Copse, Daniel dreamed of joining the Spacers to help colonize new worlds as a pilot; after his sister was born, his parents left Daota to start a caravan pit-stop on the opposite side of the Copse. With his mother's blessing, he returned to Daota to study. Until Barrild was nuked eleven years ago, his life had a goal. After the Religs declared war, and Daota was caught in a battle, he lost his way. Though he now fights the Religs, he also seeks to understand them. He and Ark met in the devastator training facility and bonded as close friends; it is anyones guess why such opposing views can coexist. First Appearance |
| Habitson Linton |  | 18 | Sheil/Devastator 33 | Habitson, or Habi as his friends call him, is a rarity amongst the devastators: his only developed talent is the manipulation of air molecules. As it is the only ability he has, he has it mastered. Habi is usually deployed where the need to protect important persons or cargo is required, as his Air Shields are nigh impenetrable. Habi is a childhood friend of Dani; they both grew up in the same neighborhood, before their outlying city was invaded. Habi is often at odds with Ark, for little other reason than Ark considers Habi a coward. |
| Lieutenant Prysk |  | 45 | Slith (cyborg)/Lieutenant | Prysk nearly lost his life in the Second Coming, but, thanks to the recent developments in nanotechnology, he was able to save what was left of his body and restart as a cyborg in the Infantry. He follows most rules to the letter, and would never disobey a direct order. However, he still likes to stick it to the man, at least behind the man's back. It is a small wonder that Ark and Prysk bonded while stationed at the doomed Geno outpost 33L-B, given their dislike of authority. |
| Arale | Coming soon. | 19 | Base/Private | Description to come. |
| Ysna Schroeed | Coming soon. | 18 | Drak/Warrant Officer (Gens) | Usually calm in the face of danger, Ysna is a Gens, or "regeneration" psychic. Until recently, she was deployed along the western front; with the machinations of Operation Roadkill, however, it seems she was pulled to continue the Operation in another area. Younger sister to Daniel Schroeed, Ysna grew up outside Daota, in a small village alongside a major copse trading route; she shares her parents' dislike of large cities with immense passion. She developed her Gens abilities long before the war even started, but doesn't seem to display any affinity to breach the psychic ceiling and become a devastator. Ysna dreams of one day returning to the life she left behind, working in the caravan pit-stop near Daota. |
| Amanda Linkenn | Coming soon. | 22 | Sheil/Colonel | Description to come. |
Religs
The Fellowship (and their collective) earned the derogatory term "Religs" from the Genos, who constantly referred to the Fellowship as "the religious ones." It was shortened to Relig later. The term has come into wide use on both sides.

| Istheen Compromii |  | 30 | Kaiyot/Cardinal Commander (General) | Istheen is the man in charge of the Holy Third Army, one of the less professional of the Relig forces. He is cunning, shrewd, and kind-hearted in equal doses. Many of his soldiers look up to him, and respect him; Istheen would never needlessly waste lives, unlike his contemporaries. Also unlike his contemporaries, he was not born into the Fellowship, but was converted at a later date. First Appearance |
| Aime Winchester |  | 16 | Gryfonic/Angel Witch (Gens) | After having her farming village wiped off the surface of Beautiful Skies, Aime and her father, Drughal, the only survivors, joined the relig military. She has had a hard life, first going through the harsh indoctrination for being a gifted witch when she was five, having to run from the authorities when she was twelve, and stowing away with her family to try and escape the tyranny of the One Earth government, and then having her family killed when she was fifteen. She now serves as a medic in Istheen's army. |
| Drughal Winchester, Jr. | Coming Soon | 40 | Gryfonic/Angel |
Born and raised on Earth according to the Word of the One, Yae, Drughal Winchester was the child everyone wanted to have: he was well-versed in the Words, knew several powerful preachers, and was generally well-liked...until he married a Catholic woman named Ivy Jenkins. After that, his life took a downward spiral. His friends and church denounced him, and his connections shriveled up. But he didn't mind; he was happy. When his youngest, Aime, was taken and tried for being a Witch, Drughal felt that he'd had enough, and decided to skip the planet, following hundreds of others like him for a new life on other planets. Unfortunately, he wound up farming for the armies on Beautiful Skies. First Appearance |
| Celeste Trynt |  | 18 | Felin/Footsoldier | Celeste was born on Earth, in a Catholic minority colony on the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario. Her life was closely regulated by the scriptures and the oppressive reality that the rest of the world wanted her religion dead. After a recruiter came to the colony to talk about the Beautiful Skies war, she and her brother, along with half of the village, jumped at the chance; it would be the best way to spread the faith. Her brother's transport exploded in Earth's atmosphere, victim to a faulty coolant system, and Celeste wound up on Beautiful Skies alone. Soon after, she met Aime and Drughal, and was "adopted"; Aime and Celeste found Casper a year later. First Appearance |
| Casper Hunter |  | 17 | Kaiyot/Sniper | Cassie, as she prefers to be called, is a shy Kaiyot from the floating cities over what used to be the Gulf South, hailing from the complex over the remains of Biloxi, Mississippi. After hearing about the faithless wretches on Beautiful Skies, she leapt at the chance to spread her faith; she didn't know she was in for the fight of her life. She first learned she was a witch when she was 8, after hearing someone's thoughts from looking in their eyes. Cassie has kept this a secret from everyone but Aime, Celeste, and Drughal. |
| Dodall Whyn | Coming soon. | 23 | Kaiyot/Minister | Dodall came to the war to help his brothers in the Fellowship spread their message of the One God Who Gave the Words. Little did he know he'd soon find himself in Istheen's Holy Third Army, leading the charge of the holy war. First Appearance |
| March Edwards |  | 30 | Felin/Footsoldier | March is one of those people who always ends up at the wrong place, at the wrong time. He never wanted to come to Beautiful Skies and fight for a war he didn't believe in, he never wanted to see his family die, he never wanted to shoot anyone, and he definately never wanted to come face-to-face with Ark Winston. Such are the problems of "mandatory volunteering". First Appearance |

| Garon Ragnarok | Coming Soon | 18 | Lupus/Criminal | Garon, until recently, was a drifter. After a battle near his hometown sent a Relig Screamer crashing through his neighborhood, he wandered the world looking for a reason to keep living. He found that reason in Lisa Amanna, near the outskirts of Gnualla. Since then the two have been inseparable. Garon dreams of making it big drop racing, a sport he picked up after he met the Relig deserter, Gakon. First Appearance |
| Mary Ward | Coming Soon | 24 | Felin/Sheriff | Mary Kachur is a native of Beautiful Skies. She's lived in An'Qala most of her life; she attended public schooling until the war broke out, after which her mother home schooled her, while her father went to fight. While the colleges were still open, Mary sought out higher learning, and found her old friend Sean Ward. They fell for each other and quickly married. Soon after, the colleges and schools closed, and Mary joined the An'Qala Police. She met Garon and Gakon when the youth was arrested for attacking meds. First Appearance |
| Gakon Ag | Coming Soon | 32 | Drak/Deserter | Gakon used to be a poor farmer back on Earth. That changed when he stepped on a few toes. Toes that belonged to very important people. Being the smart sensible fellow he was, Gakon bowed his head and did as he was told; he wound up fighting in the first wave sent to attack Beautiful Skies. In the mass confusion of the opening battle, he deserted his post and fled into obscurity. In the following years he managed to scrounge a few courses from the towns he passed, eventually finding a friend amongst the nameless masses in the University of An'Qala: Mary Kachur.
