Former imperial sumo, now known as "The "Arciluminado""

Name: Terry Whittaker

Terry Whittaker was once the indomitable supreme leader and founder of the military command known as "The Imperials." His name resonated throughout the galaxy, not only for his tactical cunning, but also as the visionary behind the Zenith space station, a bastion of hope at the heart of the universe. After 25 years of slumber in the depths of the cosmos, his return not only marks the reappearance of a pivotal figure in history, but also the rebirth of a legend. Now, people revere him as a living god, the being who, through his sacrifice and vision, managed to expel the darkness that threatened to consume the universe. That is why they call him "The Arch-Enlightened One," a title that reflects both his divine status and his new mission: to be the spiritual guardian of the universe and the bearer of the Ætheris gem, symbol of peace.

Physical description:

Time and experience have shaped both her body and spirit. Her light brown hair has taken on a richness of hues that shift with the light, hinting at golden highlights under the glow of distant suns. Her coiffure, once carefree and youthful, now seems to have been shaped by the winds of countless worlds. A rebellious fringe falls over her forehead, a vestige of the freedom of her bygone days.

As a young man, his skin was pale, like that of those who dwell in the cold steel of space stations. But after spending a quarter of a century on the planet Zalara, his body has adapted to the harsh conditions under that world's scorching sun. His skin, now tanned, reflects both his strength and the simple life he led as a farmer and inventor on that star-forsaken planet. At 5'10" tall, Terry cuts an imposing figure, with muscles that speak of years of physical labor, of holding tools for both war and creation.

Her blue eyes, bright as two fragments of sky, still retain the intensity of her youth, but also the wisdom and weight of the secrets she has witnessed. Every wrinkle on her face, every scar on her hands, tells a story of sacrifice, pain and victory.

 First Imperial: Claudius Whittaker

Name: Claudius Whittaker

Claudius Whittaker, Terry's firstborn, stands as a crucial figure within the Imperial Council. Not only because of his lineage, but also because of his strategic vision, Claudius has earned the respect and loyalty of his peers. Although he was created in a genetic laboratory, the magic passed down from his father runs strongly through his veins, granting him a power that combines the implacable logic of his created nature with the mystical energy of his progenitor.

His hair, light brown with lighter streaks, is styled in a modern, textured cut, where the volume on top fades progressively to the sides and nape of the neck in a precise fade, reflecting both his neatness and his calculating attitude. Standing 1.75 meters tall and with an athletic build, his body is a manifestation of discipline. His light skin contrasts with his blue eyes, which radiate a strategic calm and hide the storms of his mind. Although his presence is imposing, there is a duality in him: he is both an impassive leader and a son who lives under the shadow of the legendary "Arciluminado." 

Second Imperial: Dennis Whittaker

Name: Dennis Whittaker

Dennis Whittaker, Terry's second son, moves with the efficiency of a perfectly calibrated machine. On the Imperial Council, he complements his brother Claudius' tactical vision with precise, decisive execution. He was also created in the genetics lab, and like his brothers, he has inherited a fraction of his father's magical power, though his approach is more practical and results-oriented. Dennis prefers action rather than talk, and his cunning in the field of operations makes him the Whittaker family's secret weapon.

Physical description:

His brown hair, cut in a sleek, textured style with subtle volume on top, projects a neat yet relaxed appearance, while the shorter sides and nape reveal the practicality of his style. He stands at 1.75 meters, and his muscular and athletic physique is shaped by both his training and enhanced genetics. His blue eyes, darker than his brother's, hide an unwavering intensity, a gaze that examines every situation for the best tactic, always on the hunt for an advantage in battle. 

Third Imperial and Scientific

Name: Sapphire Whittaker

The youngest of the Whittakers, Sapphire is the brains behind the scientific and technological advancement that sustains the Imperials. As the chief scientist of the Imperial Council, his mind never rests, always searching for the next innovation that will keep his family at the top of power. Like his siblings, he was created in a genetic laboratory, but his connection to the magic passed on to him by his father is less visible, channeling it not into battle, but into his research and creations.

Physical description:

His long, layered blonde hair that falls naturally back and to the sides gives him a flowing, almost carefree appearance, though each strand seems carefully in place. It's an interesting contrast to his meticulous nature. At 1.75 meters tall, his muscular physique is a reflection of his father's genetic heritage, though his focus is on the mind rather than the body. His green eyes, piercing and analytical, sparkle with a ceaseless curiosity and an intellect that seems to have no end. Sapphire is not only a scientist; he is a visionary who sees technology as the future of Imperial domination. 

Rodrick Whittaker

Name: Rodrick Whittaker

Rodrick Whittaker, Terry's younger brother, is an imposing figure in both presence and reputation. From an early age, his life took a course marked by physical and mental improvement. At age 12, a simple gift of weights from Ethan ignited in him an obsession with physical strength that would eventually make him the most imposing member of the Whittaker family. However, Rodrick did not limit himself to brute strength alone; under the influence and guidance of his brother Terry, he developed unparalleled prowess in computers and technology, leading him to obtain his college degree and hone himself as an expert in this field.

Now, Rodrick rules Abaddon Prime, a prison planet that holds the universe's deadliest creatures—a place that only someone with his absolute mastery of the Force and technology could control. As king of this inhospitable world, he leads the intergalactic special forces, the most powerful and feared unit in the galaxy. With a fragment of the Ætheris Stone in his possession, Rodrick not only wields physical and military power, but also a mastery over an ancient energy that grants him near-mythic status. 

Physical description:

Rodrick is the epitome of strength incarnated. At 1.80 meters tall, his body is a sculpted machine, with defined muscles that speak of years of rigorous training. His robust, imposing build is the physical manifestation of his unbreakable will. His platinum blonde, almost white hair falls in messy layers, a style known as "surfer style" that gives him an air of rebellion, as if even his physical appearance defies the norms.

His green eyes, vibrant and filled with a fierce energy, stare out with a mix of calculation and defiance, as if he were always sizing up the next obstacle to overcome. Though his complexion is fair, the contrast with his surroundings in Abaddon Prime, a world filled with shadows and darkness, makes him seem almost like a beacon of light in a world of chaos. Rodrick's every movement reflects a combination of brute strength and refined control, as he is both a warrior and a strategist.

Ethan Whittaker

Name: Ethan Whittaker

Ethan Whittaker, Terry and Rodrick's older brother, is a legendary figure in the Omegara universe. His presence on the battlefield is as relentless as his ability to anticipate his opponents' every move. As a general of the military forces, his mastery over strategy is unmatched, forging victories where others would have found defeat. From a young age, Ethan cultivated a sharp mind, and his passion for chess is a reflection of that tactical precision. Under Terry's persistent urging, Ethan immersed himself in this ancient game, until he mastered its intricate secrets, never knowing defeat, either on the board or the battlefield.

Possessing a fragment of the Ætheris Gem, like his brothers, Ethan not only leads with intelligence, but also with the mystical power conferred by his connection to this ancient relic. Every decision he makes, both in war and in life, is driven by a calculating mind, but not without a deep loyalty to his family and his duty.

Physical description:

At first glance, Ethan looks like the epitome of controlled elegance. With his light brown hair, cut to medium length, he sports a style that falls naturally, with the longer top combed back, with a subtle flick to the side that gives it a

a refined but relaxed air. This style reflects his personality: always in control, always calculating.

His fair skin contrasts with the intensity of his honey-colored eyes, which seem to analyze every detail around him. These eyes not only see the present, but perceive all the possible ramifications of the future. Standing at 1.78 meters tall with an athletic, muscular build, his physique is the result of a life dedicated to both strategy and rigorous training. Ethan never stops preparing himself, whether mentally or physically, for the challenges he may face.

His figure projects authority and strength, but also a subtlety and sophistication that distinguishes him from his brothers. Where Rodrick imposes with his physical presence and Terry with his mystical aura, Ethan does so with the calculating calm of a man who is always three steps ahead of his enemies. The general is not only a warrior in the field, but a master who transforms each battle into a cosmic chess game where he always has the advantage. 

Ashtar Whittaker

Name: Ashtar Whittaker

Ashtar Whittaker does not share the blood of the legendary Whittaker family, but his place among them is undeniable. Raised in the cold, sterile conditions of a laboratory, Ashtar was conceived by Sadeth Maclachlan with a grim purpose: to serve as a mere organic reserve, a life destined to be sacrificed in the name of science. However, Ashtar's intellect proved to be as sharp as his indomitable spirit. Against all odds, he became a prodigious scientist, and his inventions, which should have been hailed by the galaxy, were instead unjustly stolen and attributed to their creator, Sadeth.

Francisco Javier Whittaker, a man of great integrity, became suspicious when a chance conversation with his son revealed the true source of Sadeth's "achievements." Outraged by the injustice and moved by compassion, Francisco Javier fought to free Ashtar from Sadeth's manipulation, waging an arduous legal battle that ultimately unmasked the fraudulent scientist. Officially adopted by the Whittaker family, Ashtar was no longer a tool but a man with free will and a name of his own, determined to forge his own legacy. 

Physical description:

Ashtar has an appearance that reflects both the fragility of her creation and the strength of her spirit. Her shoulder-length blonde hair falls in a straight, natural style, with light layers that give it movement and texture. Parted down the center, her hair frames her face symmetrically, as if she wanted, through this harmony, to impose order on the chaos of her origin.

With a slim, athletic build, his body seems built for agility and the mind, rather than physical battle. Despite his delicate appearance, Ashtar radiates a quiet strength, a determination that has driven him to transcend his original dark purpose. Standing at 1.78 meters tall, his slim frame hides a voracious mind, always on the move, seeking solutions to the galaxy's most complex problems.

Her deep, enigmatic green eyes are a window into her restless soul, charged with curiosity and the weight of her secrets. Through them, one perceives someone who has seen both the cruelty of manipulation and the glow of liberation. Her clear, almost pale skin is a vestige of her life in a laboratory, a reflection of her past, but also a reminder of the purity of her current purpose: to build, to discover, and to claim the recognition that was always denied to her. 

Francisco Javier Whittaker

Name: Francisco Javier Whittaker

Francisco Javier Whittaker is more than a leader, he is the living embodiment of honor and discipline. As the undisputed patriarch of the Whittaker bloodline, his life has been a testament to military dedication, mastery of the sword, and a code of living based on excellence. His magical ability, while formidable, is a resource he only employs in the most critical moments, reflecting his belief in restraint and control. He is not a man to abuse his power; rather, he guards it as a last line of defense, a hidden resource that only those who know him well have witnessed.

Over the years, he has built a reputation for wisdom and strength. His rugged, imposing figure inspires both respect and fear, and his son Rodrick sees him as the epitome of virtue and strength, a model of what every Whittaker should aspire to be. Francisco Javier is not only the leader of his family, but also the pillar that everyone turns to for guidance and conflict resolution. Under his leadership, the Whittaker name is not just a bloodline, but a legend.

Physical description:

Francisco Javier imposes from the moment he enters a room. His hair, a deep dark brown, falls in unruly yet calculated layers, like a night tide playing with the light. The curls, cut to a medium length, seem to slide across his forehead in a carefree manner, although it is evident that each strand is meticulously sculpted, projecting a natural elegance that only a man of his stature could carry off with such ease. The soft fade on the sides, contrasting with the density of the top, aligns perfectly with the straightness of his jaw, giving his face the appearance of a living sculpture.

Standing at 1.85 metres tall, Francisco Javier stands as a figure of power. His robust and athletic physique, with well-defined muscles, is the result of years of rigorous training and the military discipline he has followed throughout his life. Although his body radiates strength, it is his presence that truly dominates; an innate authority, which seems to fill the space and attract the attention of everyone around him.

His deep blue eyes are a reflection of his serene but resolute soul. Each glance seems to evaluate, judge and understand, as if he could see through the masks of those around him. In them shines the experience of years and the wisdom acquired in countless battles, both physical and spiritual. His white complexion and perfect bearing, combined with an elegance in his movements, make him a figure as imposing as he is magnetic. Francisco Javier is a man who not only commands respect, but demands it without saying a word.

Julian Whittaker

Brother to Francis Xavier, Julian represents the Whittakers' deep connection to mystical power and ancient wisdom, acting as a guardian of the family's knowledge. Though he has walked the fields of battle, his true place is in the deeper study of magic, where he has found a purpose greater than war: to preserve and expand the Whittakers' vast arcane legacy.

Unlike his brothers, Julian has chosen a path of independence. A lover of his single life, he enjoys the freedom it brings him, while maintaining a strong bond of family love. This independence, however, has not kept him away from family responsibilities, as he adopted Pietro, Terry's cousin, giving him the love and wisdom of a true father. Julian is both a man of power and heart, a leader who prefers the solitude of his studies, but is always present when his family needs him.

Physical description:

Julian's look reflects the freedom and mysticism that characterize him. His long, wavy hair is reminiscent of the golden waves of the ocean at sunset. The strands, which vary between dark blonde and caramel highlights in the sunlight, fall carefree past his shoulders, giving him an air of adventure and poetry. This flowing mane, which seems to have absorbed the essence of long, warm days, evokes images of sailors and bards from ancient times. With every movement, his hair catches the light, reflecting both his free spirit and his connection to the natural elements.

Standing at 1.85 meters tall, Julian possesses a chiseled, toned physique, his muscular build comparable to that of the heroes of classical epics. Despite his dedication to magical studies, his body reveals the physical training he once underwent in his youth. His arms are a network of well-defined muscles, and his broad chest, along with his broad shoulders, project a vitality and physical strength that complement his magical power. Although he prefers meditation and study, his appearance is a reminder of his capacity for both battle and intellect.

Julian's grey-green eyes evoke images of remote, crystal-clear waters, like those one might find in a secret cove or serene mountain lakes. These eyes capture the essence of distant horizons and clear skies, carrying with them the depth of the sea and the breadth of the sky. They are the eyes of a man who has seen beyond the physical plane, who has explored the frontiers of knowledge and magic, and who always seeks the truth beyond the obvious.

which, at first glance, looks casual, but is actually a meticulously crafted work of art. The blonde locks are woven into loose braids, adding volume and texture to the whole, while some wavy curls fall gracefully to the sides of her face, softening her look and giving her a romantic air.

Most striking are the two braids hanging down either side of her face, adorned with beads and ribbons. This bohemian touch, so delicately contrasted with the sophistication of the overall hairstyle, reflects Zahori's duality: a determined warrior, but also a woman attuned to beauty and detail. Every aspect of her appearance is charged with purpose, reflecting both her power and her connection to the gem Ætheris.

She stands 1.75 meters tall, with a presence that is both imposing and elegant. Her eyes, a deep sapphire color, are what truly capture the attention of all who meet her.

Clad in dark, simple clothing that allows for free movement in combat, Belial needs no adornment or symbols of power – his mere presence is enough to impose his will.
