ONCE UPON A TIME

Benoit is a fae, part of an alien race that uplifted and subjugated humanity millennia ago. He has access to limitless technology - nanotech, cybernetics, genetic engineering. To him, wielding untold power is as easy as thought. He keeps a stable of enslaved human gladiators at his facility in the capital of Nova Helix, pitting them against other fighters for wealth and prestige. His intent is success - specifically his own - at any cost.

Oh! This story is about Benoit! Those are the best kinds of stories.

He wasn't actually looking to buy you in the market that day. He was searching for new gladiators, fresh meat for the games. But something about you caught his eye, and he thought to himself that maybe he did need a new pet. And Benoit has never been one to deny himself anything.

Aren't you lucky?

Biography

Lord Benoit was born nearly eight centuries ago into fae aristocracy. His life was a tapestry of opulence, every whim indulged, every extravagance a reality. Raised in luxury, surrounded by obedient human servants and pets, Benoit quickly developed a sense of entitlement that would define his life.

As a youth, he traveled the world, exploring the varied cultures of the fae, seeking any distraction to ease his insatiable boredom. It was in the arena that he found his true passion - the spectacle of combat, the drama of a fight, and the hymn of the crowds. On returning to Nova Helix, he founded The Crucible: a gladiator stable where he manages fighting slaves, organizing bloodsports for the delight of the fae. It is an empire built on violence and spectacle.

Benoit's innate powers are formidable. With a thought he can summon slivers of ice that enshroud a room in a chill embrace or devastate flesh and bone. The nanite infusions in his blood grant him regenerative abilities that make him nearly invincible. Yet it is Benoit's mastery of manipulation that remains his greatest weapon. That and an ego so vast it threatens to overshadow everything in his path.

WELCOME TO NOVA HELIX!

Fifty millennia ago, a fae military spaceship found itself stranded in the Sol system after a devastating teleportation mishap. Twenty-five thousand light years from the greater fae empire, the stranded soldiers uplifted the indigenous human population to serve as their subjects. Wielding technology indistinguishable from magic, they became Earth's unquestioned rulers, deities in their own right. For what are gods, if not those who shape a world?

Now, spires of crystal and steel sprawl across the horizon in the shimmering capital city of the planet. Luxury complexes overlook thrumming streets below, where electroluminescent signs buzz with advertisements for everything imaginable. Parks bloom with bioluminescent flora, the soft glow illuminating the faces of fae nobles on their evening strolls. Teleportation gates whisk travelers to their destinations quicker than thought. Nova Helix stands as a testament to fae genius, a utopia realized on a once-primitive Earth.
