Of all the people in the world to find a portal to a new world, Jessibelle was the worst possible choice. About a month and half ago Jessibelle stumbled upon a writhing swirling mass that had visuals of another realm on the other side. Her knowledge of mysticism beyond that of psychic abilities was rather limited, magic was not common on the world where she and LeeRoy originate. In fact, magic was considered impossible. So the portal itself was rather a risk, especially considering that it was later revealed to be one way. Jessibelle's head scientists analyzed it, several volunteers entered and found that they could not come back through. The next batch was given transmitters to attempt to locate the planet in space. 

The results were rather inconclusive, finding that the planet wasn't even in our galactic supercluster. The scientists insisted upon further research but with the news that it wasn't in our supercluser Jessibelle didn't need to know anymore. The empress informed her people that this was no doorway in our universe, during this time she had been researching everything about theoretical mysticism. It would take a being of incredible power to create a portal within the universe to lead to another point in the same universe. This was the creation of some being on parallel with the concept of a god. Something Jessibelle was rather opposed to. 

Not gods but religion.

The idea that someone had more dominion than her was disgruntling to say the least. Though she allowed her community's scientists to research into the portal Jessibelle was certain that it was a doorway to another dimension. The reason it had never been located by the numerous billion humans was it's depth, it was buried well below the surface. The portal had been unearthed in an expansion to accommodate for more populace. It was mere happenstance that would bring Jessibelle to the Nexus. 

At two weeks ago Jessibelle sent a countrywide message to all of her people. On their televisions and computers her fair face showed to everyone, with a smile that could give you diabetes she spoke to them. "My dear people, I know the great doorway hass been on your mind for quite ssome time. Oh how it hass plagued my own mind. I've seen it as a way to make my people prossperouss, but on the other hand I'm fearful of what could happen to my people without me here." She paused for effect, wiping a feigned tear from her cheek and laying her hand down on her thorax. Which was currently positioned to look somewhat like the lap of a someone sitting on their own feet. "I've deccided that for the good of my people that I sshall go through the doorway with my leading sscientisstss-" Jessibelle paused for a moment, forcing a look of slight embarassment on her face. "Pleasse pardon my lissp, it's so embarasssing." This was, of course, not genuine embarassment. Yes, the lisp is real. No, she cannot do anything about it, but she uses it as emphasis to make everything more important. The letter S was her bane, however, she never liked saying her own name. "Ahem. I have deccided to enter the doorway with my sscientissstss and guard to find prossperity for my people."

The hand of the empress raised and was placed it above her bosum. "With a heavy heart I assk my people a quesstion that I never wisshed to assk of you. I thought for a time that I could not leave my people unattended, undefended, unhappy. But my sson hass agreed to sstay behind and overssee you, Renard iss a bit rough around the edgess but I know he will be a good leader. He iss ssmart and sstrong, and I hope you resspect him in my sstead." Jessibelle's face changed to a deep serious look at the people who are watching. "Now, I assk ssomething more of you. I cannot go alone you ssee. Even my highest ranked guards aren't enough, I am only one woman, and though I trusst my guardss I am a prime target for being asssailed. Sso I ssend out a call for my people to follow me through the door, I know thiss iss a hard deccisssion. To leave your familiess and friendss for ssomeone you've never even met. But I assk you to follow me to help them in the future, when we return we sshall be rich and anyone who followss me will recceive high praisse. Every one of you will be appropriately rewarded for what you will do."

Jessibelle smiled and leaned closer to the camera. "Thiss concludess the announccement to you my dear people. I do not expect you to give up your livess for me, and I will sstill go if you do not come with me. I ssend thiss messsage in the hopes of touching your kindnesss and bringing you on a path to sssee more than just our universse, but more universsess than we can imagine." With that she cut off the com and smiled behind the now shut down camera. "Three, two-" And that's when the phones started ringing, Jessibelle's numerous consorts began answering, and within a few days Jessibelle's doorstep was flooded with over ten thousand men and women who had chosen to follow her through the doorway. Another few days and they had been sorted out, anyone who had military training or any important training whatsoever was kept and everyone else was sent home. And now we're one week away from the present. 

At the break of dawn Jessibelle and her now dwindled following of only 1,200 men and women, including her own guard of course, she marched into the new world of Mystique. They tested the doorway again, confirming that it was in fact a one way trip. Unfortunate, they would need to start work on a ship after setting up a perimeter. Only 600 of the followers were Ahs Chini, the rest were humans who follow Jessibelle's doctrine, heavily armored human warriors. The six hundred arachnid folk started work on construction of a fort. 

A fort? Why a fort? 

Well, you see. Jessibelle's demeanor to her people is a kindly one, but they do understand that any circumstance when Jessibelle wishes to leave the safety of her own kingdom is to be considered dangerous. As such, her people know that they must build fortifications to defend their leader. And they're incredibly efficient, using entire trees and large stones as the skeleton they weave together walls and rooms from thick white spider silk. These forts take less than a day to complete when there's more than 100 workers, and with 600 this was built in roughly four hours. 

As time has since passed we reach the current day, the backstory is over and we reach today.

Jessibelle has learned the multiple languages of the people of Mystique, easily piecing it together in her head in her spare time. And though this planet is rich in resources and technology something was immediately evident. Her psychokinetic abilities no longer function, the planet itself is rejecting her ability to psychically move objects. Unfortunate but Jessibelle has had to cope with this before, I mean, she wasn't always psychokinetic. Now, on this world she had a thousand or so followers. Of these thousand or so people she had with her five guards, only five. 

Why only five?

Jessibelle only trusts these four men and one woman. 

At the lead of her guard was Mortimer. Mortimer was a human warrior with biological augments to improve his overall combat effectiveness, so devoted to Jessibelle he forsook his own humanity and appearance to become even closer to her. His obsession with Jessibelle may seem creepy but it has proven useful to her in the past, he has personally saved her life twice over during assassination attempts. He is physically, mentally, and skillfully equal to Jessibelle in almost every way. He lacks psychokinetic abilities, however he surpasses this with his increased mobility and weapons mastery. (As a General his Character sheet will be posted when necessary.)

Four elite guards serve under Mortimer, all four of them are Ahs Chini but every one of them is substantially smaller than Jessibelle. These four are; Dutch, Magdalene, Arnold, and Boris. As Ahs Chini they are superior to humans in every way, however, what makes them more than just Zero Tiers? Their equipment, they all wear full riot fatigues over their humanoid portions. And they are equipped with several weapons, ranging from pistols to tear gas grenades. They are incredibly loyal shock troopers who only obey orders from two people. Jessibelle and Mortimer. (These characters are so stock that they don't need character sheets.)

Finally we get to the story.

The empress was out on a stroll to gain a bit of diplomatic favor among the people of Mystique, going from door to door with her guards by her side to preach her doctrine. All the while speaking of key locations around the world, political parties and even monuments. It turns out that this world isn't all that different from Earth, despite the strange magitechnology so prevalent in it. There was clear dissent in some parts of the world, even full civil war in some of the less developed countries. Such an odd place, Jessibelle was happy that she found such an intriguing world. Her knowledge of magic and the utilization of it through technological means was steadily growing every day. Speaking to the people who's jobs were evidently engineers was a treat. They spoke to her of magitech as it was so commonplace, they knew things that she could only think of in dreams. 

What a wonderful place. 

Shame that Jessibelle's influence had a bad habit of getting people mysteriously killed.
