Characters of the Sapphire Universe
-
Sapphiria
The main character of this universe, Sapphiria was born a mutant freak to her people. Every day of her early life consisted of loneliness and heartache, but she filled that void of time by committing herself fully to the art of engineering. Though unknown to her people, she is one of the most advanced engineers on the planet thanks to her isolation and dedication, knowing things even most others can barely grasp. Though she has no friends amongst her people, she does have her automaton best friend, Atom, and a field working automaton, Trigon, to call her adopted family. While her origins are quite simple, her life takes quite an interesting turn, ultimately leading her on the path of destiny that will see her become the empress of an empire of machines.

Atom
Way too much sass packed into a small, bird-shaped body. That defines Atom, the small, bird-like automaton that Sapphiria crafted to be her best friend. Atom was the first automaton that Sapphiria ever crafted, and happily became her best friend, the two of them having been friends for a long sixteen years of their lives. They do everything together, and Atom is happy to do whatever he can to help his friend achieve something with her life. Loyal, supportive, and certainly a bit spicy, Atom is the best friend any lonely young girl could ask for, and through thick or thin, he will always remain at her side, even through the end of the world.
-
Kaden
For over three hundred years, Kaden has served his people as Archon, one of the protectors assigned to safeguarding their civilization and guiding them to a brighter future. All who know Kaden regard him as a level headed and wise Archon, one of the most legendary Archons to ever live, but all things must come to an end. With his age beginning to catch up to him, Kaden has determined that it is time to find someone to replace him as Archon, leading him on a search to find the best possible apprentice that he can to mold into an Archon greater than he ever could have hoped to have been.
-
Vargoth
Supreme General of the Sapphire Legion, Vargoth stands as the brutal and efficient left hand of the empress. No automaton is more loyal to Sapphiria than Vargoth, and he is more than willing to lay his life down in order to see her vision realized. Overwhelmingly tactical and remorseless in mindset, Vargoth is more than happy to oversee Sapphiria’s war against the UEC, and will stop at nothing to see her verdict complete and the UEC burned to the ground. Mercy isn’t a word in his dictionary…
-
Trigon
There are few in the universe quite as old as Trigon. Over one thousand years old, Trigon is an ancient automaton living a quiet life as a field hand for a local farmer. For many years, he lived in effective isolation until a chance encounter led a young, blue girl to his field. Ever since, he has cared for Sapphiria as one of his own, putting her needs before his and doing whatever he can to put a smile on her young face.
-
Gale
Sporty, spunky, and way too willing to use Atom as a prop, Gale is quite possibly the most bubbly person on the entire planet, which is quite a departure from the image her title conveys. Serving as Archon of the Eastern Continent, Gale commands an immense amount of power and respect, but her young age leaves others looking down on her. Despite this, nothing is capable of defeating her bubbly spirit, and when a chance encounter at a bazaar brings her into contact with a strange blue girl, her curiosity drives her to spark a friendship with the one person no one wants anything to do with.
-
Grand Admiral Keller
Duty, honor, tradition; those are the tenants by which Keller commands the UEC. A living poster child for the UEC military, the Grand Admiral has more awards and achievements to his name than anyone could ever dare to dream of. All his life, he has remained committed and loyal to the core concepts of the UEC, always putting the good of the people before his own. After an altercation that shook the UEC, Keller has taken command of his people, determined to steer them back to a path of prosperity and peace even as other forces work to undermine his authority.
-
James Stockton
Before Keller, Stockton was seen as the leader of the UEC, and he ruled with a ruthless, iron fist. CEO of Stockton Industries, Stockton is always seeking to grow and expand his power and control over the galaxy, no matter who he has to run over to do so. Cruel, merciless, and just a touch sadistic, Stockton’s cunning resolve and careful plans gave him complete control of the UEC, but his empire was brought tumbling down during an incident that saw Keller steal everything out from under him. Though his empire is in ashes, Stockton is never one to surrender, and now he simply bides his time waiting for the next opportunity. To Stockton, life is just one big game, and every living thing is just another piece on the board…
-
Hinaro
Hailing from a smithing village to the northeast, Hinaro is what anyone would expect from an overheated fire wielder. Though he is arrogant beyond measure, his mastery over flame is unparalleled, and has earned him the right to stand as one of Kaden’s candidates, placing him as contender to become the apprentice. Determined to become apprentice at all costs, Hinaro is unwilling to let anyone or anything get in the way of his ascension, not so he can serve his people, but so he can remove all of the obstacles that have been holding them back…
-
Nasic
While Atom and Vargoth are Sapphiria’s right an left hands, no good ruler operates without a hidden dagger for more clandestine operations, and that’s where Nasic comes in. Specially crafted by Sapphiria herself, Nasic is a type of automaton called a viper, capable of cloaking themselves to the naked eye, but Nasic is a far more advanced breed. Designed to be the ultimate viper, he can blend in to any canvas, and with his triple clawed energy blades, no force is too much for the master assassin to handle. After failing the mission that mattered most, Nasic has sworn to never fail another mission ever again, even at the cost of his life. That being said, he certainly isn’t the type of automaton to be afraid of having a little fun, and no one, NO ONE, can even begin to compare to the wonder that is his hat collection…
