Tiberian Order
The Tiberian Order is a shadowy organization, dating back to before Christ. Her origins are largely unknown, but she has stood the test of time as protector of humankind. Operating in the shadows, a global network for operatives under the command of the Overseer.
In modern times, they are referred to as Special Agents. Operating in small groups of specialist. These groups are referred to as Cells. They receive briefings on their Operations directly from the Overseer.
Guiding the Overseer is the Council, a group of elected Special Agents, providing the checks and balances for the Tiberian Order. Communication between everyone happens digitally nowadays, not risking a gathering of all members in the same space. A costly mistake that once almost cost the Tiberian Order all her members.
Klumgongyn
The alien liaison from the planet Varnyr, he’s been with the Tiberian Order after crashing into our planet. Rescued by Special Agent Foxtrot, during Operation Galaxios. He quickly rose through the ranks, first becoming a Cell Commander, then being elected to Council member and later to Overseer.
It’s his duty to now guide the Tiberian Order, while also keeping close relations with the Volracs, his alien race.
He is exceptionally intelligent with a witty sense of humor. Always ready to help and give guiding advice, he is truly the embodiment of everything the Tiberian Order stands for.
The Volracs
The Volracs are a highly intelligent and resourceful species originating from the planet Varnyr, a world of stark contrasts where survival favors ingenuity over strength. With their slender, almost fragile physique, large expressive eyes, and textured, earthen-toned skin, the Volracs are a testament to evolution favoring adaptability and intellect in an often-hostile environment. Their elongated craniums house highly developed brains, enabling extraordinary problem-solving skills, memory retention, and rapid learning.
Despite their lack of physical strength, the Volracs have built a civilization that thrives on intellect and collaboration. Their society places a high value on innovation, emphasizing diplomacy, strategy, and knowledge sharing. From their early days on Varnyr, their survival depended on leveraging the natural resources of their planet, such as bioluminescent plants for energy and naturally occurring electromagnetic fields for communication and power.
- Technology: The Volracs excel in creating lightweight yet resilient materials and tools. Their mastery of bioengineering allows them to enhance their physical limitations with organic exosuits, giving them temporary strength when needed.
- Philosophy: The Volracs believe in balance and interdependence, a reflection of their reliance on community. Their cooperation with the Tiberian Order embodies this principle, as they seek to share their knowledge to maintain peace and harmony across worlds.
Physical and Behavioral Traits of the Volracs
- Appearance: Slender bodies, elongated heads, and large, amber-colored eyes optimized for low-light environments. Their skin is marked with natural patterns resembling ancient carvings.
- Strengths: Exceptional intelligence, quick reflexes, and advanced problem-solving abilities. They compensate for physical limitations with lightweight, exoskeletal enhancements.
- Weaknesses: Due to their fragile physique, the Volracs avoid direct conflict, preferring stealth, strategy, or allies for protection.
- Behavior: Naturally curious and empathetic, the Volracs are excellent collaborators. They are also highly disciplined, valuing structure and balance in all aspects of life.
