@Bounce@Lord Wraith@Star LordSo my Shi'ar are not going to quite be like the one in 616. I'm going to be super specific because I want everyone, not just you guys to understand the Shi'ar. I'm open to suggestions, vetos, and kudos ;D

The Shi'ar are a race of technologically advanced aliens. They are not native to the Milky Way galaxy despite them being there for quite sometime. They are at their core a conquering race and have not lost that even over the ages. They are ruled from a planet named Chandilar, the throneworld. Their homeworld is called Aerie but no Shi'ar in the Milky Way has seen it in generations. Among the younger generations the homeworld is largely a myth.

This belief bleeds into their politics. Communication between the two galaxies is few and far between, if it even happens at all despite the stargate system. (I LOVE that these aliens have stagnated. My inner nerd just dies everytime) It also plays into the fact the the ruling council and the current Majestrix rule absolutely with no oversight.

The Shi'ar nation resides in the sector between the Kree and the Skrulls. Because of this they are the main broker for peace between the two. They also hold their sector brutally and efficiently. They allow neither of the warring races to gain foothold in it.

I think in this set up the Shi'ar Empire wouldn't have an overarching influence in the universe around them like the GLC. However due to their conquering mentality they would kind of force themselves into conflicts or situations they might not have any reason to be apart of.

I also see them as largely disliked. The ruling family, the Neramani, have largely been warlike and draconian. D'Ken, the former ruler before Lilandra, the Majestrix, was a cruel individual. Lilandra is trying to change the Shi'ar and how they interact with the outside world. But change is slow and memories are long. So even though they are not currently hostile the races around the Shi'ar don't quite believe this about face.

Nah, it's just the three of us at the moment.

@Star Lord

Good. Thanks.

And now I'm going to crawl into bed since I've now been accepted back into the fold.

Deathcry

Abilities

Alien Biology Deathcry is a warrior of the shi'ar race. While humanoid in appearance they greatly differ in Biology. The main differences are increased stamina, super-strength, durability, enchanced senses and their talons.

Increased Stamina: Shi'ar can far exceed human levels of stamina. When the average human is collapsing with exhaustion the average Shi'ar is only mildly winded.

Super-strength: An average Shi'ar can lift around one ton on Earth.

Durability: All Shi'ar have lightweight hollow bones. However this does not mean they are very breakable. They can take more punishment then your average human.

Enhanced Senses: All Shi'ar have superior sight, smell, taste, hearing, etc. It's not at superhuman levels but far more than your average human.

Talons: All Shi'ar have talons on the ends of their fingers and toes. They grow naturally and most Shi'ar care for them and sometimes even paint them like humans.

Origin And Backstory

Deathcry was born Sharra Neramani. Her first name was never used in any company for it was the name of one of the most revered deities in Shi'ar culture. Instead she went by her last name or Nera. She was raised as a commando. She never knew her parents. She did know she was somehow related to the ruling family. This caused a lot of animosity among the other younglings in her clutch that were undergoing the same training. Nera always felt as if she had something to prove to the others. And she proved her right to be there through rage and violence. She quickly escalated up the ranks and became the best earning her commando name Deathcry. For she when unleashed her warcry her opponent died. After her induction to the commandos she went only by her new name.

Becoming a commando didn't mean everything was now happy for Deathcry. She still struggled to prove her worth and most of the other commandos did not want anything to do with her. The few exceptions became her closest friends. The most important to Deathcry was Casnal, her lover. The two had been part of the same clutch and had become commandos together. Their relationship was rocky and rather tenuous, but Deathcry clung to it with both hands. Perhaps this was her undoing. For when Casnal's other lover, a normal thing in Shi'ar culture, decided to insult Casnal and prey on Deathcry's insecurities during a meal, she flew into a rage. By the time the rest of the commandos had pulled her off her victim he was dead.

After the other commandos determined that Casnal's other lover was in fact dead, they put Deathcry under guard. There she remained until two of the Imperial Guards arrived. Wordlessly they took Deathcry to the council house. There the Majestrix decreed that Deathcry was to be stripped of her birthname and to be exiled. Without any fanfare Deathcry was promptly placed on an outgoing ship. They abandoned her on an unknown planet (at least to Deathcry) with nothing but the clothes on her back and her wits.

What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?

I'm pretty much remaining Deathcry from the ground up. They only things that remain are her family relations, her species and her reason for exile. Everything else is taken and changed for my own enjoyment and hopefully everyone else's too. Some of the changes I made really focus on the character as an individual. She's just been exiled and is alone and adrift in a harsh universe. I want her to grow and change, not at all what happened in the comics. I want her to move past her rage and anger and become something more then just a soldier and killer.

Supporting Characters

Deathbird/Cal'syee Neramani - Unknown to Deathcry, Cal'syee is her mother. As Deathbird she is a villain currently on Earth working with A.I.M. due to her advanced technical knowledge.

Lilandra Neramani - Aunt to Deathcry. She is also Majestrix of the Shi'ar Empire.

D'Ken Neramani - Uncle to Deathcry. He is currently comotose. He was formerly Magestor.

Nightscream/Casnal Tregnar - Deathcry's best friend and lover.

Sample Post

The blood of Nera's enemies made the ground slick under her combat boots. The screams, both of pain and of joy, echoed around her. Her own cries filled the air as she cut down another rebel. Nera didn't know who these small vaguely humanoid felines were. Or even what their planet's name was. The only thing that mattered to the commando-in-ttaining was that she was to eliminate the threat they posed to the Empire.

"Left!" Casnal's cry sounded over Nera's earpiece. A few lasers hit her force field as she turned her head to just in time to see Casnal's own personal force field falter under an onslaught of heavy weapon fire.

"Casnal!" Nera's heart nearly leapt into her throat as rage reddened her sight. How dare these creatures rebel against the Empire? Against them? She swallowed down another scream as she formulated a plan. There was a small sound from her own personal force field. Nera, without taking her eyes off Casnal and the other Shi'ar with her, lashed out with her short blade. The sound of death caused a small smile to twist her lips. Served it right.

Nera lifted her eyes to the sky as she activated her tracking system. An UAD would be overhead soon. With rapid eye movements she was able to gain access to its piloting system. They HUD intrinsicly knew what Nera needed after being partnered together for so long. Sentience in technology definitely had it's perks.

The UAD fired upon the rebels and their last Harrah. They had no chance against the the aircraft. The energy weapons cut right through the stone bunker. Something internally caught fire and the whole base exploded. The heat rushed over Nera's force field and she was never so grateful for it in that moment.

As the heatwave dissipated Nera hurried over to Casnal. She was distantly aware of the small furry rebels surrendering. Others in her squad were also providing assistance to the formerly besieged Shi'ar. However Casnal took up all of Nera's attention.

"You okay?" Nera asked gruffly. As if she hadn't just been concerned her best friend was going to the.

Casnal smiled. Her purple skin was smudged with some ash hut she was still beautiful. "I'm good. Thank you."

Nera snorted. "Next time I'm leaving your sorry ass to die." She leveled a finger at her friend. "You idiots deserved it today for letting yourselves get pin-"

Nera was cut off as Casnal pressed her mouth to hers. "Thank you." Casnal repeated before she turned and headed toward the field commander. Nera remained in place, stunned, for a long second before her brain kicked back into gear.

"Casnal!" She cried as she hurried after her friend and maybe soon to be lover.

If she is accepted I'll work on how Shi'ar fits into the whole GLC, Nova Corps and other space faring military forces.

Interesting choice, but so long as you have a solid concept and direction to take her in, there's no reason it couldn't work.

@Retired

I do everything solid. But yeah, I have a few arcs and directions I want to take her down.

<Snipped quote by Blue Demon>
I smell Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Thor team-ups. Interesting.

@Inkarnate

At least Star Lord and maybe the resident GL at least. The latter I'm going to have to run somethings by.

@Inkarnate

She is apart of the Shi`ar, an alien race. She was exiled and ended up on Earth. She joined the avenger briefly where the only people who liked her were Hercules and Vision (I get Herc...But Vision?). She later left the Avengers to return home. Where she died in battle against a Kree.

BOOM.
