“Foes carrying larger blades, wearing fancier armor, and bearing more sinister sigils have fallen where you now stand. This path is shut.”
overview and backstoryBrilliant, unpredictable and daring, Vauban Antilles was always testing boundaries (and nerves) as a young Annunaki of Nibiru. His bright, fearless skill made him a natural at harnessing the chaotic power of lightning and storms. The ingenious madness of the Seperatist Legion first drew him in, sparking his obsession with discovery. With defiance and talent, Vauban quickly rose through the ranks of the Legion. In his new home world as a Reclaimer, Vauban became a famous inventor renowned as the most brilliant Lightsmith of his time. During this time, Vauban became best known for the bewitchingly lifelike nanotechnology constructs he crafted out of gleaming iridescent nanites he named SIVA Technology. From the smallest insect to the largest elephant, Vauban had an uncanny ability to replicate any creature he saw, capturing the essence of its life in his nanite creation. Admirers, collectors, and investors flocked to see his designs, spending hours gazing, enraptured by his artistry.
Recognizing the beneficial combination of Vauban's talent and loyalty, the Pathfinder Order's Overlord, Adonai Lunaros, swayed Vauban to turn to his side with the promise of new research. Vauban didn't shy away from this prospect; wholly supportive of the efforts of other star-gazers, happy to share advice, a kind word, or an encouraging smile. To the Reclaimers he was a war weapon, but he had many other purposes to serve underneath the guidance of Adonai. He thrilled at the prospect of innovation, and basked in the creative spirit that surrounded him in Nibiru, put to the task of creating a global defense system for Nibiru. In completing this task, Vauban created Warsats called Warminds. Warsats (short for War Satellites) are orbital military satellites, made to defend Nibiru and the other colonies throughout the galaxy. The legendary Warminds stood watch over the Order's colonies: vigilant intelligences. When the Reclaimers struck, the great Warminds fought and died. Rasputin is the main warmind, managing the vast network of warsats used for communication across the system. Rasputin launches these warsats out of six separate launch towers all facing different directions. Each warsat has a kinetic shield for defense against sentient enemies or simple asteroids. While creating these Warminds, Vauban also redesigned SIVA nanites for the purpose of breaking down matter and reconstituting it in order to rapidly construct entire cities on habitable, colonized planets. By the time of the end of the Odyssey, the work and surviving records of Vauban Antilles had attained a near-mythical reputation, with some going so far as to assert that the corporation single-handedly sustained the Pathfinder Order and was an epitome of innovation. |

traits
Adonai was subscribe to the philosophy that nothing is perfect-and nothing ever can be perfect. Vauban Antilles fully embraces this view, not only because he believes in the spirit of it, but because he can actually see the imperfections all around him. He has an innate talent, heightened by Light, that allows him to clearly see the flaws in any system or machine. After mere moments of scrutiny, Vauban can provide a complete analysis, noting a particular machine's weaknesses, highlighting its shortcomings, and predicting with startling accuracy exactly how and when it will fail. Vauban's talents earned him notice by the Pathfinder Order's governing body and landed him on the fast-track to a high-ranking position as Senior Inspector. Now, the vast majority the Annunaki's inventions are funneled through him. Each design must pass his discerning evaluation before being cleared for mass-market production. His body is enhanced with the nanotechnology, SIVA, a practice common among those in the members of the Antilles Exoscience Corporation. The most obvious enhancement is his right arm, which is entirely crafted of SIVA nanites and suffused with glowing red Light. His midsection and legs are also hollow frameworks of SIVA nanites, but he more easily covers those when moving about a world where such enhancements are unusual.
