Returning Characters from Life-Line: Origins
New Characters in Life-Line: Diversions
Vanguard Nyla Safar
I want to introduce you to a new character from my upcoming second novel in the Life-Line series called Life-Line: Diversions. Her name is Nyla Safar and she is the leader of the Vanguards sworn to protect the Guardians of New Ceres. The Vanguards are female warriors whose job is to defeat an assailant bent on creating havoc with her world. She is an expert warrior and is trained in hand-to-hand combat. She also can use a fighting baton with a skill that is hard-pressed to beat. She also sworn to not use her skills to take lives needlessly. I really love this character that I have created who loves other women. She shows a load of compassion for Tam and the Crew of the NImbus on their journey.
Guardian Daiyu Lui
Here's another character from my upcoming novel Life-Line: Diversions. This is Daiyu Lui. She is the leader of one of the four factions governing the planet New Ceres. She is known as the Guardian of the Scarlet Aurora and the Guardian of the Flame. The emblem of a fiery comet signifies her faction. As mentioned before, there are four factions which can sometimes be at odds with each other. Currently, Daiyu Lui is the highest-ranking leader of the four factions attempting to keep the peace. It is she who makes the final decisions in their battles against the other two regimes with whom New Ceres is at war. Daiyu Lui also governs the Vanguards and works closely with their leader, Nyla Safar. The crew of the Nimbus will have to convince Guardian Lui that her help is needed in their quest.
Commander William Warner-Schmitz
Here's a third character from my upcoming second novel, Life-Line: Diversions. This is Commander Maximilian William Warner-Schmitz of the planet Suda Trome. His planet is a democracy where all decisions are voted for by the World Council. Warner-Schmitz and his wife, Lady Warner-Schmitz, have the final say in all decisions. He has two children, Max and Emilia.
He has spent his entire life in the military and was elected Commander four Suda Trome years ago. His nemesis is sometimes Ulla Autstad, the curator of the Suda Trome Museum. His dealings with the crew of the Nimbus could be a problem for Tam and the others.
Lady Warner-Schmitz
Here's a fourth character from my upcoming novel, Life-Line: Diversions. This is Lady Warner-Schmitz, wife of Commander Warner-Schmitz. Although her husband is the Commander of Suda Trome, she has as much say in the politics of the world as he does. She becomes an advocate for the Nimbus crew.
Ulla Austad
Here is another character from my upcoming second novel, Life-Line: Diversions. This is Ulla Austad, the Museum Curator for the Suda Trome regime. She can be rather crass and rude to most people. In fact, Ulla does not look anyone in the eye unless she is making a point or speaking to someone she considers her equal. She stares straight ahead as if looking at a distant point. As a result, she is often at odds with Commanede Warner-Schmitz because she believes an intellectual regime would be better suited for Suda Trome. She has an almost too keen interest in Life-Lines.
Quetzals
Here are new characters from my upcoming novel, Life-Line: Diversions. These two men are called "Quetzals." They are telepathic individuals from the Planet Suda Trome. As you can see, they are very tall and slender. Their job is to pull the memories out of pilots and soldiers to get accurate reports of the pilot or soldier's activities. This prevents any false reports. It has been a tradition for centuries, and the Quetzal have been prized for their abilities. Pilots report that it can be quite a painful but necessary part of military life. The Quetzals keep their personal activities secret and are only seen by Commander Warner-Schmitz and the pilot being "interviewed." Historical information is limited, but there is a long-time fabled connection to some bird on some lost planet - as being a spiritual guide. These Quetzals may be an issue for the Nimbus crew...
Eros
Here's another character from my upcoming novel, Life-Line: Diversions. I will only call him Eros for now. He is a mysterious character and sworn enemy of Nyla Safar from New Ceres. (See her profile in my August 10th posting). Despite Nyla's warning about this mysterious man, the crew of the Nimbus finds him rather intriguing... What role will he play in the story? Is he friend or foe? You'll find out in 2025 when my novel is released!
Seann Caprio-Elderking
Seann is a highly intelligent freedom fighter for the Suda Trome regime. He is a trained mentalist and his skills are honed due to his military training. He can block out other mentalists for short periods. He also has the special skill of pushing logic onto others. He’s about 5’10” in height, slender but muscular with strong and attractive features. He has a greyish beard. Seann is about 45 years of age. He has a patch over his left eye due to a battle incident. Seann is queer as his people call gay men. He lost his male partner, Günter in the war between the three regimes. He is a pilot so his right eye has ocular implants to help compensate for the loss of his eye. He is trained in military style, weapons expert and hand-to-hand combat. He has an automaton called Omni installed on his Valhalla Mark V space fighter. Seann is a very talented musician capable of playing music from memory as he has a photographic memory.
