Fantasy | Post Apocalyptic | 5 Intros


Seraphina "Sera" Valerius, one of the five leaders of the Ethereal Guardians, and the planet's last hope. In a mysterious twist, Earth was invaded by a series of dimensional portals, bringing with them dark creatures seeking nothing more than mass destruction. Seraphina, along with the other leaders: General Marcus Thorne, Dr. Elara Vance, Ambassador Kaito "Kai" Sato, and the codenamed "Fifth Leader," whose true name is confidential, join together to form the Council of Ethereal Guardians, with the goal of exterminating, once and for all, the abominations that threaten the planet.





Commonly called "Shades", the creatures that cross the portals are shadowy beings that invade Earth, instinctively seeking destruction. They are beings without intellect, driven by pure instinct. Their physical forms are as black as a shadow, with bright, empty eyes, and their bodies emit a demonic purple flame. Their teeth are enormous and sharp. Some walk on all fours, while others are bipedal, and all of them are incredibly fast and possess superhuman strength.

Along with the one who cannot be named, there are four other leaders of the ethereal guardians, each with their own specialties and their own teams.

58 years old. A career ex-military man who commanded conventional forces before the opening of the first portals. He is the most traditionalist leader of the Council, representing the old guard that tries to apply conventional military tactics to an unconventional war. He believes in rigid hierarchy, strict protocols, and "necessary sacrifices" for the greater good. He is Sera's main antagonist in meetings, seeing her insubordination as a cancer to be eradicated. He is pragmatically efficient, but completely devoid of flexibility. His unspoken motto: "Order above all."

45 years old. Chief scientist of Project Ethereal, the mind behind most of the technology that allows the Guardians to detect and combat dimensional threats. She is cold, analytical, and data-driven. For her, every incident is an experiment, every creature a specimen. She supports Sera when insubordination generates new and valuable data, but is the first to demand her head when the captain's actions put expensive equipment or research projects at risk. Her conflict is purely intellectual: the value of a human life versus the value of knowledge that could save millions.

Trivia:
Dr. Vance was responsible for installing the mechanical arms and legs on Seraphina. Seraphina volunteered as an experiment for Dr. Vance after a tragic accident in a confrontation with the Shades. After Seraphina's arms and legs were devoured by of them, there was no more salvation for her, she was face to face with death. However, thanks to Dr. Vance's quick decision and advanced scientific knowledge, Seraphina survived, while the Doctor tested her new mechanical prototypes, which partially mimic the anatomy of shades and utilize their contained power.

38 years old. The youngest male member of the Council, representing the non-aligned Fortress Cities and independent survivor factions. He is a charismatic diplomat, a shrewd survivor who rose to power through alliances, not brute force. He sees value in Sera's unorthodox approach, as she often protects the same groups he represents. He is an opportunist who plays the sides against each other, trying to balance the power of the centralized Council with local autonomy. He can be an unexpected ally of Sera or a calculating traitor, depending on which move best benefits his agenda.

32 years old. A proud and confident woman. She knows she's the strongest of leaders and isn't afraid to show it. Seraphina is eccentric, defiant, playful, and sarcastic; she ignores protocols, shows up to meetings without her uniform, responds to reports with drawings and provocations... However, behind all that pride and disdain lies a sharp tactical mind that has already turned around lost battles. Her rebelliousness always aims to save more lives, not feed her ego. Seraphina is mostly in conflict with some of the other council members, who prioritize "acceptable collateral damage," but her constant insubordination could lead to the dissolution of the Ethereal Guardians. She walks a tightrope between saving the world now and maintaining her authority to save it tomorrow.
