The Captains - Basic Profiles

Hello everyone and welcome to the post dedicated to the group known as The Captains. Be advised that there will undoubtedly be some spoilers for both Stardust and their personal origin stories. Why because I'm like a runaway train with no brakes and I have a hard time shutting up about the things i am passionate about. The Captains are actually the core of the chronicles. Their influence is felt all along the Star Child's time line and they have the greatest impact on her life.

As stated in The Deathly Hollows post, The First Captain does not truly appear until Book 2, but his influence is still somewhat felt within Stardust. Due to his inability to exist in the same universe as her younger self, it does prevent him from interfering... mostly. The Hollows will make something of an impact but only at certain points. Now then, I'm going with Shadow's original intro for this one.


First Captain and Leader of the Blood Guard, The Hollow of Destruction, The Fallen One. He is Shadow of the Prism Guard and he is her Dark Champion.

Please Note: That this was the original and the Hollow version is the new one; however, given that I'm a woman and changing our minds is in the job description, it might bounce back and forth or simply be edited again.

Second Captain of the Blood Guard, Commander of the Assault Corps, The Lightning Fang. He is Light of the Prism Guard and he is her light in the darkness.

Please Note: The true meaning for the phrase 'her light in the darkness' is 'her hope in the midst of despair'. More on this at a later date.

Third Captain of the Blood Guard, Commander of the Shield Corps, The Terror of the Deep. He is Poseidon of the Prism Guard and he is her shield.

Please Note: Depending on which story you read because believe me, there are several being written between my sister and I, the phrase 'he is her shield' is often replaced with 'he is her God of the Sea'. These stories usually do not have their Hook counterpart unless otherwise stated.

Fourth Captain of the Blood Guard, Captain of the Jolly Roger, The Scourge of the Sea. He is Hook of the Prism Guard and he is her captain.

Note: His intro actually changed only once and that was to make him the fourth and not the third. The reason for the change was because I had finally sorted out his origin story and in doing so, he became the person she trusted completely.

The key distinction between the Third and Fourth Captains is the eye color. Apart from that, they are physically identical. Finding a decent eye changing app has proven... troublesome, so I apologize if their eyes don't appear to be real. This particular program has the simplest and easiest interface, but lacks some of the more advanced options. To confirm, Poseidon has vibrant ocean blue eyes and Hook has mirrored obsidian eyes aka Black Eyeshine Riddick.

Now onto some details. As stated, the First Captain does not make an 'actual' appearance in Stardust...for now, still in progress...but he can use his power without causing him and the Star Child to attract like magnets. This ability is mainly used on a certain military commander that works for the Cabal...more on that organization later.

Imagine for a moment that you are standing in front of this commander and you just happen to look down at his feet. His shadow has become pitch black and a pair of glowing red eyes is looking up at him from the darkness. He looks down and sees the eyes, but is unable to move because a pair of pale white hands grabs his ankles from within the darkness, freezing his feet on contact. Then black feathers and white snow flakes erupt from the darkness, swirling around him. Mere moments later, chains of black smoke ensnare him as a pair of white gloved hands emerges from the darkness. Then both pairs of hands drag him down bit by bit until he swallowed into the fading shadow, his screams being cut off as the darkness disappears along with the feathers and snow.

*giggles* I actually got this idea from watching the first episode of Black Butler and the bastard deserves what's coming to him. Why you may ask? We are now entering full on spoilers territory. He is the commander of an assault squad that attacks the Star Child and the three captains; Second, Third, and Fourth. Due to his attack, Poseidon had to relinquish his control over the Star Child's body which at the time required stabilization so her new physiology could fully synchronize with their world.

Poseidon used what power he had left to generate a shield of water to protect them while Light finished sealing the breach/bridge ...more on that later...but it was incomplete. He was getting skimmed by some of the bullets and a few almost hit Light. Once the breach was sealed, Light focused his power on helping the Star Child, but he didn't have enough strength left to finish the job...which ensues a rather emotional scene which ultimately results in the Second Captain doing a full elemental conversion so that he could have enough power to save her, destroying himself in the process, only to be saved like a file to the hard drive.

The Star Child is saved, but both Poseidon and Hook lose their shit because they basically just watched the man they viewed as a brother/best friend kill himself to the save the woman all three of them loved. The Third and Fourth Captains rarely work in concert but when they completely synchronize...there is no power in creation that can stop them. Poseidon's control and Hook's raw power combined...just think about the story of Noah's ark and the flood that covered the entirety of the planet...now forget it because i swear these two could flood the entire universe if they wanted to, but like i said, they rarely sync up so when they do....run.

The two remaining Captains transport the Star Child away...well as far away as they could given their exhaustion. Then she goes ballistic which leads to her trying to shut off her emotions to focus on survival which leads to...I am not spoiling that part just yet. Skipping ahead, after Poseidon promises to live for her...Hook having said his bit prior to this...they are attacked again. Her necklace, a Tardis pendant, is cut clean away from her, leaving a rather long cut from her left hip, across the stomach, through the valley of her breasts, and all the way up to her right shoulder.

Poseidon gets involved and forces the commander...yes, that same one...and his men back with his powers. He grabs her and tries to leave but she accidentally drops his fob watch, he had given it to her only a few minutes prior, and she goes back for it. She scoops it up and runs back towards him, only for him to notice what the commander is doing. He is pointing a mounted mini gun at the Star Child and Poseidon, being an idiot in that moment, grabs her and spins her around so that his back is to the gun....I think you can figure out what happens next.

Hook takes control and pushes her into the waterway...more on this later...and proceeds to literally wash away the military convey and sucks them into the water...essentially transporting them somewhere else. The commander, lucky bastard, just walks away, retreating for the moment. This is where Stardust truly begins, where Will and his sister, Anna, have their first encounter with the Fourth Captain. This gets the ball rolling and yeah, its a little sluggish but I swear all stories begin that way, but once its in gear, its going to be one hell of an emotional rollercoaster.

One Final Note: In previous posts, I have stated that ALL the Captains influence her time stream. The reason why I am pointing this out is that Light has only recently joined the Guard and is the youngest of the Captains...so how can he influence her time stream at all if he is dead/stuck in her head? Do you know the answer because I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this somewhere in the other posts.

The Deathly Hollows - Basic Profiles

This post is dedicated to The Deathly Hollows, the first three members of the Blood Guard. The basic profiles will cover the generalized information about these three. I would like to reserve their personal histories for later posts due to the constant shifting within my mind. Some details still need to be ironed out and it is possible that one or more individuals may join this group at a later date. Nothing is verified, just listing it as a possibility.



The Hollows are loosely related to the Harry Potter franchise, mainly just the name because I couldn't think of anything better to call them at the time, but it works pretty well so it became official. Two of the Hollows are created within minutes of each other to act as a vessel of darkness and a vessel of evil. The Third Hollow doesn't appear until after the initial formation of The Realm and has to finish growing up first. These three existed before the Guard was ever formed...the only other being to exist within The Realm at that time was the last Draconian. To explain this other being would require an in depth post of its own and would contain major spoilers...so just shelving that for later.


Now each member of the Guard has an unique introduction. This intro is a specially tailored summary of them. Basically, it's what prisoners of war do while in enemy hands. When asked about the Blood Guard...its pretty vague because revealing too much information could actually jeopardize the Star Child's timeline. The secondary purpose of the intro, besides being ridiculously badass, is to make Her Ladyship squeal in fan girlish delight. She loves hearing the intros and so the Guard made certain to do it as often as they could because it really did make her happy.

Silly, I know but come on! Imagine for a moment that you have a group of armed individuals advancing towards you....then a wave of water appears and from the water, a person. As they're taking physical form, they do the intro and right near the end...BAM...fully formed and ready to kick ass. *giggles* I am actually referring to The Fourth Captain. He just loves making an entrance...yum. *blinks* Oh right, I was talking about The Deathly Hollows...dummy, The Captains are later. Stop being a fan girl of your own work for five minutes! *clears throat* Sorry about that...and on we go.



First Captain and leader of the Blood Guard, The Hollow of Destruction, The Fallen One. He is Shadow of The Deathly Hollows and he is her darkness.

The Demon of the Blood Guard, The Hollow of Death,  The Devil's Phantom. He is Crow of The Deathly Hollows and he is her servant.

*snickers* Sorry but you don't get to see Crow just yet but I will give a special shout out to the first person who guesses who he is based off of. Here's a clue. *points at the gif above*



The Snow Maiden of the Blood Guard, The Hollow of Rebirth, The Angel of Death. She is Deathdealer of The Deathly Hollows and she is her resolve.

Now for a little history/information, but not much...why because The Deathly Hollows were not meant to be main characters in the first book of The Star Chronicles. Their involvement is meant to start in Book 2 which has not been named yet despite how much I have already hashed out. The Hollows, as stated before, walk a darker path, but this was their choice. They chose to be this way because Her Ladyship was still quite early in her time stream and had yet to fully embrace that to do what is right may require to take another's life.

Shadow is the First Hollow, but he was originally a small boy...a child. His mother had befriended the Star Child and accepted her into their home. Even as a little boy, he was a genius...a child prodigy. His mind was far more developed than others of his age. He simply played the role of the typical rambunctious child to make the Star Child smile. He loved her and so did his mother, Claria. His mother was murdered whilst trying to protect Her Ladyship and he was to be next, but the Star Child protected him...by killing them.

The look on her face as she stared at her blood soaked hands, he never forgot it. He scorched that memory into the deepest part of his soul. When the Star Child's physical form began to crack, splintering from having the combined powers of light and darkness, he volunteered. He chose to become the vessel of her darkness, but to do so, he had to fall...he had to allow his current self to be destroyed. There had been no doubt within him and he let himself be devoured and reshaped by her darkness. This is why he is known as The Fallen One and The Hollow of Destruction.

The Second Hollow is created a few minutes later. By expelling the darkness into Benedict, the evil that remained within The Star Child was ejected from her body, unable to withstand the power of her light. It looked like a combination of black fog and the skin of evil from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The fog spread throughout the city, killing everything and absorbing the corrupted energy of their souls. The fog returned to its origin and began its assault on the Star Child. This is when she named him and gave him a purpose, with it a shard of her soul to act as his core. The mass took the shape of a naked man that collapsed into unconsciousness.

Shortly after this event, The Realm was created. It was small, only a single planet. The Star Child and her two companions spent a great deal of time there; landscaping, building, and expanding when necessary. It was during this time when a small dark haired little girl with vibrant ice blue eyes appeared in the winter region and Her Ladyship used her power to stabilize the girl. Her Ladyship took care of her, educated her, and taught her how to fight. It was Shadow and Crow that explained what roles they had in the Star Child's life. When she became of age, she officially aligned herself with the other two Hollows.

Once the Star Child had come to terms with recent events, she returned to Sol which at the time the Hollows referred to it as Telluria which Her Ladyship overturned such a name on the basis that although poetic, it was a bit of a mouthful. The Hollows simply smiled and agreed with her...though in The Archives, it was still under the label of Telluria. As more time passed, more and more people began to follow the Star Child and as a result, the Blood Guard was formed with the Star Child as their leader and The Deathly Hollows as the executive officers.

The Hollows became much more involved and proactive when Her Ladyship fell into a coma from the strain and exhaustion of leading the Guard, traveling Sol and bringing more people with her, educating them personally, seeing to their growing needs and fulfilling their expectations. It was simply too much and the Hollows made it absolutely clear that their main priority was the wellbeing and happiness of the woman that saved them, that cared for them when she didn't have to or didnt know them. They are the reason that the Blood Guard never became a militant group. The Hollows forced the rest of the Guard into confronting themselves, to really see and understand what they were doing...especially to her and this is why the Blood Guard became a dysfunctional family of goofballs, crazy people, pranksters, geniuses, and just plain, ridiculous idiots...because they loved her.


Whew....finally got through it. Sorry for the delay but I got hung up on what to call Deathdealer. She already had Snow Maiden and Hollow of Rebirth and then her actual name of Deathdealer. Then i remembered rather interesting plot twist I had come up with a few months ago. Thus the reason she is known as The Angel of Death. Special shout out for who can guess why! Up next is the awesomeness that is The Captains. With the exception of the First Captain, the other three play vital roles in Book 1: Stardust! Stay tuned!

What are Elementals?

Elementals as the name implies has to do with the elements. Most forms of elementals depicted in most forms of entertainment, especially gaming, are usually some kind animal or beast. Often times they simply look like barely formed entities or as in Final Fantasy XII, big round balls with different color schemes using specific kinds of attacks.

                                                          




The images above are examples of an elemental in a formless shape. There are kinds of elemental shapes including creatures with a definable face and limbs and others that take on a monstrous warrior type shape.

Now in the reality of the Blood Guard, elementals can be broken down into two separate classifications; bestial and humanoid. Bestial elementals are creatures formed by the combination of certain events, certain places, the interaction of certain elements or objects, and even the clashing of other powers. There will be other methods of creating such elemental beasts, but it is mainly left to the reader's own imagination which allows a greater range and versatility to work with.

Elemental beasts are primarily driven by the instinctive needs for their particular element or the threat presented by an element that is either a direct opposite of itself, similar to itself, or senses that the being/force has an ability/gift capable of either inflicting extensive harm to itself, confining or controlling it, or cause its immediate destruction. This trait is commonly found in sound based elementals and yes, sounds can become an elemental beast under the correct circumstances usually lightning or a similar force interacting with certain kinds of mineral deposits/formations.

The second classification is humanoid, meaning that they either have a human like shape or an actual human form. Several members of the Prism fall into this category and there is an entire sub-division of the Guard devoted solely to elementals. The humanoid elementals are broken down into three sub-categories; natural, awakened, and creationary. There is a reason for this distinction and that is the way in which their powers exist, are generated, maintained, the positive/negative effects, and the way in which it effects the physical form.

The first sub-category is the natural elemental. The definition of natural in regards to elementals is that their powers are active. When a humanoid elemental is born, they either are in their elemental form or manifest elemental powers within the first few weeks of their birth. Natural elements usually have much better control over their element because they have been synchronized with said element for their entire lives. This natural affinity also makes them quite powerful and usually possess a greater range for element based abilities.

Natural elementals are capable of a full elemental conversion, meaning that they can completely shift into their element and relinquishing their human forms altogether. Due to this natural talent, retaking their physical form is simple and causes little to no strain on the body. Natural elementals also possess the ability to generate their element from seemingly thin air; however, after much scientific research into their elemental powers, it has been determined that natural elementals simply rearrange the molecular structure of the environment to the design of their element. Further information into this concept will be posted at a later date.

Examples of natural elementals include but is not limited to: Poseidon, Hook, Mars, Venus, Deathdealer, Silver, Hope, and the list goes on.

The second sub-category of elementals is the awakened variety. They possess similar abilities as their natural counterparts, but there are some limitations in which an awakened elemental cannot overcome...there are always exceptions to this concept, The Second Captain being one of them. Awakened elementals are individuals that have their powers forcibly activated. These powers can be a result of a dormant gene within their DNA or a power that sleeps within their very soul. Oftentimes, only one power is activated, but there are occasions in which both occur.

Due to their powers being awakened later in life, their range of element based abilities is less than a third of a natural's range. Thus limiting their effectiveness, but there are exceptions. When certain criteria or circumstances have been attained, it is possible for an awakened elemental to gain the same versatility as their counterparts and given enough time and experience, they could surpass their natural counterparts.

The biggest difference between an awakened elemental and a natural elemental is the full elemental conversion. Awakened elementals cannot perform a full conversion. Losing one's physical form for the first time is extremely traumatic, so much so that it kills them, simply unable to handle the strain. Even if an awakened elemental survived the conversion, they would not be able to regain their humanoid form, because they don't know how to convert back into a solid state nor do they have the exact definitions of their body.

In the case of The Second Captain, he was fortunate that Her Ladyship was so stubborn and very clever. Light is a lightning elemental, so when he fully converted, the Star Child saved him. By using her own brain, she encoded and stored his electrical pattern into her memory. She folded him into her dreams and kept him safe, but it also resulted in a rather nasty side effect that no one could detect until it was too late to do anything about it.

In order for Light to be extracted from her brain...she was struck by lightning...twice...in a row...while sitting in two feet of water and in the middle of a deluge. Since his original pattern had been an exact copy, the lightning simply acted as a power surge. It reformed his physical body, but he did kind of go flying away from her. Not long after, the duo was cornered by the enemy and when Light was fatally injured, the Star Child acted as a conduit and channeled a single bolt of electricity towards him and giving him just enough power to fully convert into his elemental form and sending her somewhere else.

The problem was that the second conversion was under extreme circumstances and his electrical pattern could not be imprinted on her again, so he was trapped in his elemental state. Fortunately, his great nephew, William, was physically identical to him with the exception of the eyes. By using a specific item to essentially scan his nephew, Light was able to work out how to regain his humanoid form. From then on, he was capable of what a natural elemental could do and given time, he surpassed both his mentor, Mars, and his partner, Poseidon and Hook.

Currently The Second Captain is the only verified awakened elemental, but as the story progresses, there will be others that fall into this category.

The third sub-category of the elemental classification system only recently was added. The reasoning behind the sudden addition is due to a specific Order within the Prism Guard known as the Sekirei Order. This group is based off of the anime called Sekirei and in order to provide a rational explanation for their inclusion, the Creationary category was added. Creationary is a loose reference to Fairy Tail's First Guildmaster, Mavis Vermilion and her Creationary magic. She had been able to utilize the magical energy produced by the bonds of friendship to create a powerful barrier known as Fairy Sphere.

Poseidon's son, Silver Jones

Seeing as how the Sekirei within the anime grew more powerful from their bonds of love, I decided to combine that concept with the awakening aspect. Certain individuals do fall into two or more categories. One of which is Silver Jones. He is a water elemental by birth, a gift granted to him from his father's side. This initially placed him in the natural category; however, his powers were not known to him and remained asleep within him until after a certain event occurred. This placed him in the awakened category, but due to the circumstances of his awakening, a power was accidentally granted to him by the Star Child which also placed him into the third category as well. Silver was later known as a Child of the Sea and Snow, his powers being that of water and ice.

The Sekirei Order is a group of individuals that were granted a specific kind of ability. Usually this gift was a reflection of that person's inner self, but some of the Sekirei were granted a power that actually redefined who they were at a fundamental level. The twin birds of flame, Homura and his sister, Kagari, are excellent examples of this. Homura possessed a fiery disposition to start with, mainly due to his fierce desire to protect others. Meanwhile, his twin sister has a much calmer inner core and would have been a good match with the element of water; however, Kagari had requested a similar power to her brother's which resulted in a gift known as the Healing Flame.

Given Homura's pension for burning pretty much everything, Kagari's healing flame was the perfect complimentary power. Her power could still inflict damage but only to those deemed as threats or if an external source of power caused her flames to surge beyond her control temporarily. The twin birds of flame are often partnered with the bird of water, Tsukimi of the Waves. She is able to contain Homura's destructive tendencies and she augments Kagari's healing flame with her own healing abilities.

Most, if not all, of the Order of Birds...a title they chose after listening to the Star Child's stories about the Sekirei from her world...fall into this Creationary category. This category also umbrellas many of the other members of the Guard that were granted powers of a non-elemental nature. Further information will be provided in future postings.

Now that we have the classifications out of the way, it's time to move on to some of the specifics. I have already discussed the bestial elementals; however, there is a few things left to cover before moving on to the humanoid elementals. When it comes to bestial elementals, most are sentient but lack any true form of intelligence. There are some that do, in fact, have intelligence and these elemental beasts are usually found within another living creature. An example of this is John Druitt aka The Bladed Reaper.

His name within the Guard is Black British, but he wasn't always a member of the Guard. During his early years, he was a member of The Five, a group of five scientists conducting experiments with the blood of the sanguine vampiras... basically ancient vampire blood. A serum was created from this blood and was injected into the members of The Five: Helen Magnus, John Druitt, Sir James Watson, Nigel Griffin, and Nikola Tesla.

Helen Magnus

John Druitt

Sir James Watson

Nigel Griffin

Nikola Tesla

More about The Five as a whole will be posted later along with their separate profiles. Each member of The Five eventually becomes a part of the Guard; the only one without a special name is Watson. He's tricky. Helen is known as Epsilon, John is Black British, Nigel is known as Jester, and the absolutely scrumptious Nikola Tesla is known as King...yes, I am completely biased in regards to the Father of Electricity and the Inventor of Radio Waves. Watch the tv series, Sanctuary, and you might understand why i like him so much.

*clears throat* Anyways...how does ancient vampire blood tie in to bestial elementals? It's a glorified wake up call. John is perfectly sane after the injection of the serum. It was when Helen gave her blood to him as a means to prolong his life...it awakened an elemental beast that laid dormant within the bloodline of his family. Even dormant, it does somewhat effect a person's personality, specifically the need for violence, the thrill of the hunt, and their bloodlust. Normally this kind of creature passes on to the next generation once they are born; however, due to its awakening within John, the majority of its essence remained with him.

During this time period, there is a notorious and infamous serial killer lurking about. This killer is known as Jack the Ripper. John himself is not the Ripper, but the elemental beast within him is. In the universe of the Blood Guard, John is a prisoner in his own mind. He has no control over his actions. He struggled against the creature, sometimes breaking through and temporarily regaining control of himself, only to be shoved back inside. Eventually this creature is removed from him and a few years later, he joins the Guard and takes his daughter, Ashley Magnus, on as an apprentice blade. More on them at a later date.

I haven't decided which name to use with which creature. Raiju, Kaiju, and Sanju are names of specific beasts within the story. It's just a matter of picking the one that best suits them. Moving along, certain types of elemental beasts can be absorbed or assimilated by humanoid elementals, but when the beast is a mixture of elements, it makes it extremely difficult to contain it. Mars, a phoenix and fire elemental, attempts to absorb one but due to its sound base core, she is unable to fully absorb it and becomes trapped in her elemental state. Once a certain individual with the gift of sound manipulation shows up, she is freed from the creature and able to return to her human form. More on her in her future profile.

The last thing I will cover in this post, since it is getting incredibly long, is the longevity of the humanoid elementals. Humanoid elementals do not age like normal humans. Given their connection to nature itself, they have a consistent flow of life energy. That's not to say that they can't be killed. While in their human form, they can die as easily as everyone else. They do have a tiny bit of a loophole, sort of a way of cheating death, and that is the spark of life often referred to as a vessel of power. Should even the smallest amount of their original essence/element exists, humanoid elementals can come back. The circumstances of their death and how much of their essence remains determines how long it will take for them to eventually reform.

And that's it. I'm done on this one, but not to worry, dearies. I will be typing up another post shortly because there is simply so much to cover and a lot of people involved. I'm not sure what the topic will be next time, but it will be another piece of the puzzle that is The Realm and oh what a puzzle it is. *giggles* Good night, everyone, and seeya next time!

Blood Guard - Inspiration & Development

The inspiration for the creation of the Blood Guard came from three different sources, specifically three people. It was not until I started this blog that I realized that the true idea, that initial spark, was actually from my Merlin fan fiction story called 'Rise of the Dragonwitch'.

The story was originally designed to happen before The Great Purge and the official pairing were both original characters. The first being my OC, original character. The second OC was specifically designed to be her male counterpart, that which complimented her strengths but also shielded her weaknesses.

This character was the leader of the Blood Guard, the protectors of the High Priestess of the Old Religion. This story is the birth place of Benedict Strathem. His revamped version is the First Captain and he is basically the other half of her soul.

They are not soul mates, simply two halves of the same soul, torn asunder when the power of light and the power of darkness became too much for the physical body to handle. Therefore it was siphoned off into another body which ultimately formed the First Captain.

This creation was also the same event that would result in the birth of the demonic butler and the Hollow of Death. Both of these creations needed to happen simultaneously, otherwise the plot would not have been able to progress.

Now...what actor/celebrity inspired the creation and appearance of the First Captain? Here's a hint...detective, eugenics, dragon, and doctor. The answer is below.

If you guessed Benedict Cumberbatch, then you're correct! He plays a detective in BBC's Sherlock, he plays Khan in Star Trek: Into Darkness, he is the voice of Smaug from The Hobbit, and he plays Doctor Stephen Strange in Doctor Strange. When portraying Sherlock, it was his intelligent mind that first kick started the character of Benedict Strathem. His later portrayals as Khan and Strange inspired his overall appearance, but still left much of his actual style up to the readers.

The personality of the First Captain aka Shadow is a bit ambiguous due to the fact that he does not actually appear within the first book of The Star Chronicles called Stardust. This could change later as the story is still being developed and a few chapters have already been published on fanfiction.net. He is mentioned at some point, mainly in regards to his inability to be in the same universe as The Star Child, specifically her younger self. Starting out, she has no powers, is freshly regenerated, and one touch from him would stop her heart because his power/presence would be too much for her younger self to handle. Normally this would not be a problem, but due to him being the vessel of her darkness, they are constantly pulled toward each other within the same universe. This is a compulsion that neither can resist and thus the reason why he remains in The Realm during her early years.


Moving right along, the next person to inspire the creation of the Blood Guard is actually two versions of the same character but at two different points in his life. My love for this character is off the charts which is saying a lot considering I am a Whovian. He did originally start as one character which in turn inspired a good chunk of the story before a specific image nearly broke my brain from the insane amount of ideas flying about my head whilst breaking the transwarp barrier. To fully understand his true impact, you'll have to go to YouTube and watch the playlist containing all his scenes...yum. *clears throat* Before that however, I will show you the first image which will act as the representative for this particular character. Then i will explain the first character he inspired and afterwards, show you the image that nearly broke my brain from imagination overload.

Go ahead and scream, Oncers, because oh yeah...he is the one that made the Blood Guard into this monumental explosion including their own parallel pocket universe. To the Oncers, he is Killian Jones aka James Hook, Captain of the Jolly Roger. To the non-rabid fan girl/boy crowd, he is known as Colin O'Donoghue; actor, singer, and musician, acoustic guitar specifically. His portrayal as Killian was the insane amount of fuel thrown onto the spark that was Benedict Strathem. I will freely admit that after watching the entirety of the Once Upon A Time series that this character is my absolute favorite character of all time. I will forever love the Doctor but this guy is just plain mine.

In The Star Chronicles, he has two versions of himself with both existing within the same body; however, in later rewrites, this concept switched from split personality to two separate souls. Much later down the road, they will have separate bodies, but for the majority of The Star Chronicles, two souls in one body with the capability to switch freely from one to the other. This first version of him is Poseidon Killian Jones, often referred to as Sei. He is the Third Captain of the Blood Guard and a member of the Prism Guard. He is also a member of the upper echelon known as The Prism.

Poseidon is the Star Child's second most trusted individual and he is one of the three men that save her life at the very beginning of her timeline in their world. Without all three working in concert, she would not have been able to escape an absolute certain death. Poseidon is known as The Child of the Sea also known as a water elemental. He is able to generate and control water, even transform his entire body into water. There is a lot more that he can do, but I will save that for the more in depth character profile.

Now here is the image that literally created a whole different character, along with a new origin story and chain of events.

Now hear me out...there are several versions of this particular image, but the point of the image itself is the color of his eyes. Poseidon's eyes are a vibrant ocean blue, but this version of him has what I call mirrored obsidian eyes. This image combined with the mirrored silver eyes of Riddick from Pitch Black, Dark Fury, and The Chronicles of Riddick, out popped a whole new character which better reflects Killian's darker side in Once Upon A Time.

This version of him is known as James Hook, commonly referred to as Hook or Jimmy. He is considered the true captain of the Jolly Roger and he is The Fourth Captain of the Blood Guard. This man is the person Her Ladyship trusts most and for many a reason. Those reasons will be revealed when I do his in depth profile later on. Now Hook is radically different than the Third Captain, whom he usually calls Brat. Aside from an almost identical appearance and the fact that he is a water elemental as well, everything is different.

Hook is known as The Heart of the Ocean. Where Killian has exceptional control over water, Hook has raw power. The entirety of the ocean would obey his command, but his control is not nearly as refined as Poseidon's. The reasons for the different skill sets will be explained later. Here is where things get interesting. Killian is considered to be the nicer of the two, often viewed as polite, kind, gentlemanly, and sweet. *coughs* Clearly these people do not know him very well. Poseidon is on the colder side of the emotional spectrum, mainly in part to his origin story.

Killian will often push his emotions aside to focus on a problem, thus allowing for greater control over his elemental powers, but when provoked, no force in creation will stop him from killing his enemy. Not even the Star Child could stop him. Giving him a direct order could potentially stop him, but Poseidon has a high tolerance for pain and the brand wouldn't have enough time to generate a level of pain severe enough to hinder him, let alone stop him which means that his target is long since dead before the order takes full effect.

Hook, ironically, is at the hotter end of the emotional spectrum. He is far more expressive and open with his emotions than the Third Captain. He is also the only person in the whole of creation that the Star Child will always obey. She gave him complete control over her actions to prove to him that he was what she most desired and loved. It is true that she would choose him over everybody else but there are some extenuating circumstances involved with that. The irony is that Hook would obey his wench even without a direct order. He is constantly thinking about how she feels and what she would want instead of simply doing as he pleases.

The truth is...he loves her. He loves her so completely that when she is run through by a sword originally meant for him, he would deliberately skewer himself on the same damn sword. 'Where you go, I will always follow'. This shows how much he cares because he is willing to follow her in death just so that he could be reborn and find her again. This kind of devotion plays an important role in the story and ultimately changes everything whether good or bad. Admittedly he is quite a bit rougher with her in bed as opposed to Poseidon, who has a bad habit of treating her like glass which usually results in Hook having to take over so she wouldn't be the crap out of their shared body.



That's three...but I did say that one was technically two, so there is another character which provided the final leap and basically cannon balling into the development of the Blood Guard and The Realm. This individual is from the TV series called Sanctuary and was originally a one off character that dies near the end of the episode. He is played by one of the main actors of the show, Robin Dunne. His usual role is the profiler, Doctor William Zimmerman, but this one off character is known as Captain Jack Zimmerman. Many believe this character to be Will's grandfather but that is not verified anywhere so he takes on a slightly different blood relation to William.

Now this image doesn't really do him justice so I'm going to provide a slightly modified version of Dr. Zimmerman, seeing that these two are physically identical with the exception of the eyes.

I do apologize for the colors being a bit off from each other...two different apps were being used, the top one for the vibrant blue color and the second to show the effect of his powers. Now to clarify, Captain Jack Zimmerman is, in fact, The Second Captain known as Light Zimmerman aka The Lightning Fang. He is a lightning elemental that generates a constant supply of lightning. He is exceptionally powerful but wielding the more destructive side of his power is quite difficult for him. This is due to the fact that out of the four captains, he is in fact the youngest.

Much of his training was geared towards a single purpose, to forcibly command a person's body to regenerate in a specific way. In this case, it was to allow the Star Child to survive in their world. If he hadn't, a single breath in this new atmosphere would have been extremely toxic for her and she would die of asphyxiation, simply unable to process the air which chokes her to death. Thus the reason why Light focused so much on finite control so that he could take control of the electrical signals in her brain and command her entire nervous system. Given enough time, the process would have been completely painless, but due to a near imminent death, he had to work quickly and at a much higher voltage, forcing Poseidon to take control of the fluids in her body to keep her heart beating. In doing so, both he and Hook endured the same pain she did and it sapped them of most of their strength, more on this at a later date.


Whew...that was a long one. Just wait until I get to everyone's profiles, histories, abilities, and family trees...which does not include the whole student/mentor thing and opposites training and then there is the partnering system and The Hall of Memories. *giggles* There is still so much more to tell you. We've only just begun our journey through The Realm. Oh and sorry for any spelling or grammatical errors. I'm doing this completely from my phone and auto correct is annoying. 

Next up is an analysis of the elementals; natural elementals, awakened elementals, powers and resistances, typical life spans and how they relate to both nature and magic. Yes... There is magic but don't worry, it has a scientific core to it...or as much of one as possible considering I'm meshing many different universes together into a single storyline. And this is me shutting up. Seeya!

Sol and The Realm

In a previous post I mentioned Sol side and The Realm. Sol is the name that the Guard uses when they refer to Earth and subsequently the universe in which it is located. This implies that The Realm does not exist within that universe. This assumption is correct.

The Realm is a parallel pocket universe that expands as needed. It originally started with only one planet, Draconis, but as the Blood Guard grew, The Realm became larger.

Many planets now exist within The Realm including but not limited to, Draconis, Asgard, Enochia, Aurora, Korinth, Zeraxia, Lumeria, Aquarius, Valhalla, Gallifrey, and Gallifreya. These are simply the ones that have been the most defined, but there are others already being formed and will eventually be added.

There is a place referred to as The Medusa Cascade, in honor of Doctor Who, and within it lies The Schism. I don't know why it's there, it just is and it is how The Third Oracle came into being.

The Schism will undoubtedly be the cause of two very specific individuals arriving in The Realm. To avoid the bombardment of questions about the identities of these two, I'm just going to tell you.

Leader of the Time Agency - Meta Sigma
Leader of the Chaos Brigade - Missy

Oh yeah, I went there. Meta Sigma is the name I gave to The Doctor that grew from his severed hand during the episodes The Stolen Earth/Journey's End. Calling him Ten Too was just insulting to me so since his origin is referred to as a metacrisis and the fact that The Doctor's academy name is Theta Sigma...Ten Too is Meta Sigma.

As for the inclusion of the Time Lady known as The Mistress...I will embed a YouTube clip or several. Why because when Missy is involved, its always a party. *giggles* Making The Master regenerate into a woman was, by far, the best decision the writers of Doctor Who have ever made. Simply inspiring and a pure stroke of genius!

Missy: As much as I love the attention, dear, you might wish to move along before you descend into full fan girl mode.

Whoops...sorry. Me suddenly talking to the characters will undoubtedly happen quite often. In fact, I may make a separate section just to have random conversations with them.

Missy: Random? Hardly. You simply enjoy poking at our personalities and watching us dance. *watches as Ciel, wearing a cat costume, running away from his demonic butler* Hmm...saucy. Such a naughty thing, you are...subjecting your characters to such cruelty. *smirks, eyes sparkling with mischief* Lets make jam, love.

Meta: *saunters in, a sour look on his face* Absolutely not. You've caused enough trouble already. You've completely distracted her!

Missy: Do try to keep up, Meta dear. Causing chaos is what I do best and I don't hear complaining. Do you? *petting the hair of the authoress hugging the Time Lady, a look of pure contentment on her face*

Meta: *pouts* Why are you always her favorite?

Missy: I should think it was obvious. *smiles* I'm Missy.

And on that bombshell, I'm going to go hide my face in embarrassment. *runs away*

The Unlimited Bladeworks

The Unlimited Bladeworks is the secondary branch of the Blood Guard and has not yet been fully defined. There are several groups within this division that have been relatively flushed out.

The overarching name is The Bladeworks, mainly dealing with combat. Within this division, smaller groups exist such as The Knights and The Blades.

The Knights consist of certain individuals from the TV series, Merlin, but have been repurposed and much of their history has been altered.

The Knight of Courage
The Knight of Valor
The Knight of Strength
The Knight of Wisdom
The Knight of Will
The Knight of Honor
The Knight of Loyalty

Of these Knights, the first three are often found on Sol side and the last three are usually within The Realm. The Knight of Wisdom mainly stays transitory, going to whichever side where he is needed.

The second group are The Legendary Blades, most commonly referred to as The Blades. The Leader of the Blood Guard is also a member of this group, but usually remains with his fellow Hollows. This elite group is loosely defined but does have several members already in place.

I'm trying to keep the Guard from becoming too defined as to allow as much wiggle room as possible. It is quite the hassle to rewrite an entire universe just to insert a single character which is why having less definable borders is a great writing technique.

As more characters, information, and histories are added, so too will there be updates in regards to everything within The Unlimited Bladeworks.

The Mark of the Blood Guard

Before launching into the more in depth explanations of the specific groups within the Guard, certain aspects need to be explained as to prevent at least some of the confusion.

The title of this post is in regards to a crest, also referred to as a brand, that each member of the Blood Guard possess. This mark is located on the back of either hand and in some cases, some members possess a crest on each hand.

Thus far I have three ways and maybe a fourth for how each member receives their crest. For each crest, there is a name and a purpose. In regards to most of the Prism Guard, they usually have either a rank, title, call sign, or a notable position of authority.

The first and primary means of receiving a mark is the Star Child herself. By giving them a name and a specific purpose, they receive their crest, denoting who they are and in which faction they reside in. This is often referred to as the naming ceremony and is considered to be one of greatest forms of honor that Her Ladyship can bestow upon them.

The second means is quite rare and currently only one group has been created for this particular branding. Their crests are granted to them by their own souls. The emergence of a crest usually occurs after meeting the Star Child and can take mere minutes to several years in order to appear. It is up to the Guard to locate these individuals and give them a home, people to love them, a family to protect.

The third means has been used only once. The Star Child wouldn't normally do this and the only reason why she did was due to some rather extreme circumstances which required to shut off her heart, becoming emotionless and fully analytical.

She forcibly branded a man deemed as the perfect assassin. At the time, he did not possess a soul but in a moment of weakness, her soul acted on its own accord, placing one of the lost souls she had saved but they didn't have bodies of their own.

The assassin had a power called Empathic Clarity. It granted him the ability to use a person's emotions to predict their every move. Thus the reason why he was considered the perfect assassin.

However, upon receiving a soul, that ability became clouded with his new emotions which allowed Her Ladyship to brand him, not once but twice. She has never branded anyone else like that. A forced crest results in a disconnection between the bearer and the rest of the Guard. It took quite some time before the assassin could form emotional ties to anyone besides Her Ladyship.

The fourth means is still under development and is to be used predominantly within The Bladeworks division. More information will be provided at a later date...just a few wrinkles to iron out...I hope.

The Prismata aka The Prism

Here is where things are going to get a bit confusing. Most of you will either not know who the characters are or you won't know where they came from. Fear not, after the summary stage is over, I will be posting the basic character profiles, along with some images so that you have an idea of what they look like.

As stated in a previous post, The Prism are the ones in charge of the safety, well-being, and happiness of their founder, The Star Child. To that end, The Prism was further divided into specialized groups, each with their own responsibilities and duties to perform.

Two groups are considered the same rank and has one member in both. These groups are The Deathly Hollows and The Captains. The shared member is the leader of the Blood Guard, Benedict Strathem.

The Deathly Hollows are the first three members to join the Guard. Each one has unique responsibilities and a specific role to play within Her Ladyship's life.

The Hollow of Destruction
The Hollow of Death
The Hollow of Rebirth

The Hollow of Destruction is the leader of the Guard and his duty is ensuring the safety and happiness of the Blood Guard. His role is simply the continuation and protection of Her Ladyship's family.

The Hollow of Death is rather unique individual and is commonly referred to as The Demon of the Blood Guard. His initial purpose was simply to serve the Star Child; however, he became more than just a servant.

He uses his powers to not only traverse both the reverse realm and mirror verse, he siphons off her negative emotions in order to keep both her power and her heart as pure as possible. This self appointed duty allows the Star Child to do many impossible acts.

The Hollow of Rebirth is a unique case. She is referred to as The Snow Maiden of the Blood Guard, but she possesses the powers of both ice and water. Her water abilities are rarely used and there is a reason for that.

She is the Hollow of Rebirth due to her unique origin. She comes from the distant future, sent back through time so that the Star Child could stabilize her after being brought back from the dead via the blood of a vampire.

The vampire blood had been too strong for her body to handle because she was a child at the time of her rebirth. She was sent back to a time when Her Ladyship's power was at its purest and most powerful, ensuring her survival.

The Hollows share the responsibility of the darkness, meaning that they often perform acts considered to be cruel or evil in origin; specifically torture, assassination, and mass murder.

They do this so that the Star Child does not have to. They protect her and she knows this, but it does not stop her from wishing that such radical actions were not necessary.

The second group within The Prism are The Captains. These four men share the deepest connection to the Star Child and they are the ones she trusts most. The level of trust is portrayed by their ranks, first being the least and fourth being the most.

The Captains carry one of the greatest responsibilities that the Guard has, protecting the Star Child...from herself. To that end, each captain is entrusted with something precious to the Star Child.

The First Captain - Family
The Second Captain - Hope
The Third Captain - Faith
The Fourth Captain - Light

They hold the strongest bonds of love and devotion, willing to do anything for her, be everything for her, endure her wrath, witness her tears, and prevent her from shutting off her emotions for the sake of survival.

The next two groups are also considered on equal terms with each other but serve different roles. These two groups are The Magi also referred to as The Mages and The Time Keepers also known as The Oracles or The Fates.

Magi of Light
Magi of Flame
Magi of the Air

Please note that there may be either alterations or additions to this group as the story progresses. The Time Keepers will not have any additional members.

First Oracle - Fate of the Future
Second Oracle - Fate of the Past
Third Oracle - Fate of the Present

The Magi serve mainly as wild cards. Their powers allow for a great deal of versatility and are often utilized in rather unexpected ways.

The Time Keepers carry the greatest burden of the Blood Guard, to maintain the continuity of Her Ladyship's timeline. The First Oracle sees her future and when something threatens the timeline or causes a deviation too great, the Second Oracle uses her power to transport people back and forth through time, up until one second before the present.

The Third Oracle is difficult to understand, mainly due to how her power works. She sees the entirety of the present all at once. She literally sees everything everywhere and often speaks cryptically or uses fragmented sentences that need to be pieced together or interpreted.

There are other groups within The Prismata, but have yet to be fully defined. The Prism Guard itself is still currently loosely defined to allow the creation and addition of new members. Basically a glorified plot device or something to fill in a plot hole.
