An archaic bloodline whose roots trace back to the beginning events of Nibiru. Founded by Adonai Lunaros, these were the first Annunaki to be given the gift of light and spearhead the Age of Starlight. Without the Lunaros, the Annunaki would be cave-dwelling hunters and gatherers with no impact on the galaxy. Because of Adonai and his Forerunner Order, the Annunaki have left their imprint on nearly every galaxy on their quadrant of the visible universe.
An archaic bloodline that predates the Age of Annunaki. The Lunaros clan have roots that trace back to the beginning of the events of the Odyssey, when the concept of surnames and patronymics didn't even exist. Annunaki were thriving in the Age of Dark without heat, flame or compassion. It was a dog eat dog world where very few spoke in the common tongue, and even fewer were capable of walking bipedal. In an age where there were hunter and gatherers, crude finger-paintings on walls, cave-dwellers and savage bloodshed, only one of the Isu felt any sympathy. In fact, he was not an Isu at all, but the only Emanation who had secured his spot in Elysium alongside other Isu, and that was Prometheus. The divine and righteous En-il refused to acknowledge conversation of restoring life to the occupants of Nibiru, as they had been a sore reminder to him of his angelic but deceased Enoch. In retaliation, Prometheus stole the First Flame from its kiln in Elysium and pitched it down to Nibiru in an act of divine sanction. It struck the edge of a savanna after orbiting the planet for a full day, a streaking comet amidst the black canvas of space. When it collided with Nibiru, other creatures that were perpetually in endless warfare (food chain) came together in silence to appraise the First Flame. Predator and prey of all different shapes and sizes were stupefied by the venerable First Flame, the first spark of light in a world of ceaseless darkness. For all the creatures that had gathered, the sapient Annunaki had known to stay away from it, frightened by the otherworldly nature with which it proliferated. No--all but one, and that is the nature of the Lunaros, when Adonai fearlessly stuck a branch into the flame and lofted it into the air. By instinct or some deeply ingrained sixth sense, the other Annunaki knew to bow, even though they have never knew that practice in their abrupt lifespan as beastly creatures.

adonai lunaros
Lightbringer. Jove. First Navigator. King of Subjugation and King of Nibiru, Adonai Lunaros has went by many monikers during his three-thousand year lifespan. In his youth, Adonai existed on a Lightless planet where the weak were triumphed by the strong. Adonai didn't mind, because he was the strongest. He was Nibiru's Genghis Khan, a merciless tyrant whose reach, in the pinnacle of his campaign, covered 8/10ths of planet Nibiru. He befriended an Emanation, Prometheus, who taught Adonai about the events of the universes creation. Together they conspired to steal Enoch's soul from Elysium, which enraged the mighty En'il. Prometheus was sealed in the Blind Eternities for his folly and Adonai ascended to near godhood, bearing Light and a complete mastery over it. With his newfound powers, he spread his Light among the Annunaki and impregnated them with a feverish urge to wander the cosmos, conquering all planets and systems that lay en route. His first step to ascendancy involved a complete genocide of the Isu species, the ones whom sealed Prometheus into the Blind Eternities. Under the philosophy of seeding planets with the "superior" Annunaki race, Adonai began a millennia-long takeover of hundreds (if not thousands) of galactic systems. His host he called the "Forerunner Order," which he led alongside Vauban Antilles (his most trusted advisor) and Darrien Lunaros (his firstborn son). Over time, the Forerunner regime would turn into an aristocratic sovereignty built on the back of technology and architecture. In Adonai's time, the Annunaki entered a time of utopia, though the memento's of Adonai's savagery were kept a secret. He maimed, enslaved and cleansed entire species, enthralled planets or reduced them to rubble all for the sake of Annunaki expansion. In his later years, Adonai was challenged by his own firstborn son for his seat of power. When Adonai struck his son down, he was struck with an immeasurable grief that resulted in the waning of his powers. When Adonai died, he did so undefeated and unchallenged, the echoes of his legacy still reverberating across the starways.

darrien lunaros
When tensions arise across the starways, it is Darrien Lunaros' spirit that encourages them to war. He was Adonai Lunaros' firstborn son, who had an innate talent even in adolescence for battle. Darrien seemed most alive in the very thick of war, delighting in the sounds of warhorns and clanking armor, as well as the final shrieks of endless lifeforms being put to the sword. His father, Adonai Lunaros was a tyrant in his own right, and encouraged his teenage son to frontline sieging contingents before he had even reached maturity. In the void left behind by Adonai's paternal shortcomings, Darrien learned how to be a man through bloodshed. Eventually, Darrien's face and spear became a symbol of death that many alien species came to fear. Krix broodlings sang prayers for protection from Darrien. Vrokorn merchants would flee galaxy clusters that were rumored to have drawn Darrien's attention. When he reached maturity, Darrien became the ruthless military leader of the Forerunner Order, serving as both warchief and first councilor to his father. Darrien hated Vauban Antilles and saw his ingenuity and tinkering inventions as a waste of time and resources that could be better spent on the galaxy-wide enslavement of numerous species, which could then be used as foot soldiers. Because of Darrien's proven success on the battlefield that ultimately accomplished Adonai's goals in global expansion, Adonai heeded the word of his son deeply, but never turned his back to Vauban Antiless in spite of Darrien's pleas. This disagreement would come to seed a resentment of his own father within Darrien, that overtime would fester until Adonai decided Darrien's bloodlust and grudges were a detriment to the Order. When Adonai confronted Darrien with the intention to banish him from the Order, Darrien countered and challenged his father for his seat of power. This would come to be the only battle Darrien would ever lose, and lose he did, as Darrien would come to perish at the hands of his own father.

garyth lunaros
Garyth was the second-born son of Adonai Lunaros, only a few years younger than his elder brother--Darrien. While Garyth embodied valor and bravery in battle, he lacked the savage brutality that Adonai found in Darrien. Darrien embodied the dark and brutal aspects of war, and fought constantly with his younger brother, whose outlook on war was vastly different. Garyth fought alongside his father in their quest of expanding the Annunaki sphere of influence, although he often took a much more diplomatic approach whenever possible. His father despised this about him, as Darrien's methods of enslavement and conquering-by-force was significantly more effective, and oftentimes it was Darrien who would clean up the mess left behind Garyth's failed negotiations. Following Darrien's death at the hands of his own father, Garyth was the last living heir to the Forerunner Order. Adonai's power began waning in the years after his son's death, largely considered to be as a result of the grief of Darrien's descent to madness. With no other choice, Adonai began preparing Garyth to inherit the ideals and full force of the Forerunner Order. When Adonai died, Garyth mysteriously disappeared without a trace, leaving a vacuum in the Forerunner Order that resulted in the ashing of the Annunaki home planet of Nibiru. Many Annunaki in present-day shift the blame of Nibiru's destruction to the coward-son of Adonai, whose whereabouts and motives are still speculative. Some say he works in the shadows for Goro Va'lai and the 10th Front, preferring Va'lai's method of securing the Annunaki legacy over the one his father picked for him. Others say his corpse is decomposing on some foreign planet with his legacy having accumulated to nothing.

MITHRAS LUNAROS
Mithras Lunaros was taken from birth and shipped off through hyperspace to a desert planet, raised under the guise of being the child of humble farmers. In truth, Mithras was born a member of house Lunaros and would be heir to the Mantle of Responsibility. In his adolescence he discovered and honed his powers over the Light and longed to one day travel among the stars. Unbeknownst to Mithras, his heritage would come to make him a prime target for the Separatist Legion, who at the time of his days on planet Eea would be led by Agdayne--a cruel, cold Annunaki whose primary goal was to drive the Lunaros clan to extinction. Agdayne tracked down and put Mithras' family to the torch, which prompted the awakening of Mithras' Lunarosi genetics. Leaving Agdayne on the brink of death, Mithras would be abducted by the Forerunner Order, whisked off to a military program that aimed to sharpen Mithras into a blade to be wielded against the Legion. In the Order, Mithras' fame spread quickly, turning him into a mystified figure whose presence on the battlefield would encourage his allies into a frenzy. His repeated successes on ground maneuvers pushed him even further into his legendary status, inflating Mithras' ego to disproportionate levels. With a knack for battle and an unparalleled mastery over his Light, Mithras was pushed through the ranks quicker than he could reach adulthood, longing to be stationed in his home planet of Nibiru. He longed for the opportunity to see his home planet for the first time, only ever hearing mystical stories from his own allies. Often cavalier and impulsive, repeated setbacks would ultimately stop Mithras from ever reaching his goals of being cycled off to Nibiru. When Garyth Lunaros abandoned his post as leader of the Order and no one suitable could fill the vacuum left in his absence, Mithras attempted restlessly to keep the Forerunner Order from collapsing. In spite of his attempts, the Order shattered after the destruction of the Annunaki's home planet of Nibiru, which sparked a fire in Mithras. His attempts at creating his own militia faction he called the "Epoch Movement," would end in catastrophe, as Agdayne stormed planet Arda and slaughtered every one of Mithras' students. This pushed Mithras into such a deep depression that he has since been hiding away on Arda-1, succumbing himself to listlessness.

ISKANDAR LUNAROS
Iskandar upon his birth was separated from his twin brother, Mithras Lunaros and shipped off to the far edges of the Cosmos. His ship was intercepted by the Primal Hedron Warmind that surrounds the central planet of the Amonkhetian system, Amonkhet just outside of the glorious city of Naktamun. Iskandar crash landed and due to the conditions of his arrival, was viewed as a God-sent child of prophecy from the illustrious Ra, patriarch of the Ennead. Iskandar was taken in by the royal Huayra family of Amonkhet and the Baron-Khan, Imhotep Huayra. At the very advent of his life, the Deep had visited baby Iskandar and prophesized his future: the arrogance and ambition he would flaunt openly, and the ruthlessness he would utilize to achieve his ambitions; and how he would gloriously enact its will. The Deep would steadily groom Iskandar throughout his life to be its new champion. Imhotep took a particular liking to Iskandar and as a result was the closest to him growing up. Iskandar as a child was fruitful and vastly curious. He spent much of his time playing with his half-brother, Azor Huayra, the blood-son of his surrogate parents. At a very young age he sought to understand all that surrounded him. Matched with his ambition, his curiosity became a catalyst for his competitive nature. This caused him to distance himself from his peers, even his half-brother. He always sought absolute victory in every game, every interaction--even if there was none to be had. As a result of that, much of his teenage years were lonely. He substituted the companionship of others with the companionship of books and analogs. He never stopped bonding with his adoptive father, often-times hunting Shaarum, the leonine flying creature that roamed the skies of Amonkhet. The lack of love and warmth throughout his vital years caused Iskandar to become cold-hearted and stoic. This lack of love was bred from jealousy as many of his father's competitors in the dynasty saw Iskandar unfit to be the avatar of Ra, a title appointed to him since his crash-landing. Eventually, Iskandar was accepted to a top Hieromancy

University in Naktamun that was graced by the presence of Vauban Antilles. Antilles was there to revel the genius of the Glyph technology that powered the civilization of Amonkhet, and reveal some of his own Nibiruan technology. His creations absolutely astonished Iskandar, and a sparkle once thought long-gone returned to his eyes. Antilles saw the potential in Iskandar and offered for him to trek the universe with him in search of knowledge. However, his father was pressured by his rivals to deny Iskandar the pursuit of knowledge. He was raised to be a King, not a scientist. This further threw Iskandar into the clutches of the Deep and bred hatred in his heart for his people. Eventually, the time for a new Baron-Khan had dawned upon the nation of Amonkhet. The Huayra split--one side for the Avatar of Ra, and the other for Azor Huayra. They were forced to perform an ancient traditional battle to the death: Maerakat Alqua. Iskandar brutally murdered his brother without any remorse. The royal ship, specially outfitted and upgraded for his coronation, was given to Iskandar: The Uraeus. Iskandar eventually abandoned post with this very same ship and vacated the Amonkhetian throne. He decided nothing tied him to the planet of Amonkhet any longer beyond his adoptive father. He left to do what he had always desired: trek the stars and analog all he saw, design new technologies and observe the species of the Universe. To support his desires, he decided to uptake the title of a bounty hunter. He became the scourge of the warring galactic factions, and his name was renowned far and wide for his deeds.
kayn lunaros
Known to his enemies as The Worldeater, and by those who adore him The Great Uniter; this is the story of Kayn. Kayn Lunaros began his life a mere slave who would not be bound by chains and ascend to notoriety for his conquests across the galaxy. Taught by the Elder Dragons to master space-time, uniting the planet of Khan-8, and marching across the solar system to unite all planets beneath one sovereign power. During his triumphs and annexing these heavenly bodies to his call, Kayn learned of the demonic Reclaimers and their goals. Unyielding to the tyrannical rulers of the Legion, the Annunaki and his forces drew their blades and laid siege to their enemies. Evil triumphed on that day, the destruction brought upon the galactic forces of Kayn leaving all but he dead. The sole survivor, Kayn was left to float aimlessly through space-- swearing vengeance on the Reclaimers.
