Captain:Iovera IX

"Do you feel... what I feel? Do you? No. Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my pain... You know me as an empress. A ruler of millions of worlds. Yet nobody, nobody knew me as a person, as a woman. Then go, as these secrets will be secrets to you until the end of the universe."

- Iovera

Clericarch Iovera is the current leader of the Divinarium, an ascended Radeon woman with immense psychic powers. She is also a powerful.

Back when she was a child, Iovera was fairly notable for her elemental powers, quite strong for a Radeon. Unfortunately, she was not able to control them when she was yopung, resulting in tragic death of her whole family. She was then adopted and lived within a monastery, and then ascended the ecclesial hierarchy of the Radeon society until she became an Exarch. After the Annihilation, she took command of remaining Radeons and led them out of the dark age, forming the modern Divinarium. Charismatic and loved by her subjects, she believes with cold determination that her nation would reign supreme - beneath this, however, she is in fact sweet and loving. She is now strained with Andromeda War, deadly and dangerous.

Biography
Iovera was born in the family of a diplomat in the ecumenopolis Sanctuarium located in the Milky Way. She has spent her early years as most of the Radeons, living a happy life until her elemental potential manifested when she was 4. Unable to contain her powers, she has caused a massive psychic storm which killed her entire family. Her heart broken, she has been found by a local priestess and taken to the monastery.

The priestess has adopted Iovera as her own child. Due to the horrible accident that killed her family, she never had any friends and relationships, always lonely and looking aloof and cold to the outsider. That wasn't true, however - she just always feared that she would lose control of her psychic powers again and kill her loved ones, thus never being close to others. Over time, she has started to try to control her strange powers, and eventually she has realised she could influence and even control the thoughts of others - a powerful potential. After she was 18 and adult, she quickly ascended in status using her abilities and became the divine governor of her city, then her planet, then the sector where she lived. But even though she was the ruler of the worlds and hailed by her people now, she still could not find the one thing she always seeked - true, honest, sincere love and care.

When the Xhodocto destroyed most of Radeon colonies and communication with other galaxies was destroyed, Iovera has led the remaining Radeons and, with the help of the Girdo Empire, formed the new organisation - the Temple of Spode - in theory, a peaceful religious organisation. However, she had her own plans - or, rather, plans told her by the voice in her mind - voice of Spode, as she thought.

One day when she was sleeping, she was visited by the strange guest. That guest was Telfar, long dead leader of the Radeons. Telfar, describing himself as being ascended by Spode, offered her a deal. In exchange for being ascended and becoming extremely powerful, she would lead the Radeons to make them a new empire. Iovera accepted.

In the days before the Annihilation, Iovera came to the followers of the Temple with a speech. She has promised her followers the chance to ascend and become more powerful than they imagine in the mame of Spode, to reclaim the glory of Radeons once more. Led by her, most of Radeons belonging to the Temple of Spode have entered into the mysterious silver spaceships and left the universe, to return after the apocalypse, in the ancient Twilight Sector of the Andromeda Galaxy. There, as Iovera proposed, they would found a new empire. With the aid of Isio'Nar and with many other species joining them, Radeons have quickly conquered a large empire and became ..

Since then, Iovera has led the Divinarium in the Second War of Twilight, converting Fyrvrtha to their side and reclaiming Radeons' ancient homeworld, Spoddah. After the war, she continues to rule her new empire with the iron hand. Her heart, however, is still broken...

Appearance
Iovera is a female Radeon with light brown fur. She has somewhat flat, almost humanoid face and blue-cyan eyes. She is tall and has a slender body, not exactly beautiful but still not hideous and quite well-shaped. She usually wears her Clericarch's robes, although she sometimes wear other clothing for the diplomatic meeting. She is considered middle-aged by Radeons.

Personality
To the outsiders, Iovera can look like an ice queen, cold and emotionless ruler of many worlds wishing nothing but the domination of herself and her species. Deep in her soul, however, she is actually shy, friendly and peaceful girl wishing for nothing but a sincere love.

Abilities
Iovera is not strong and is somewhat frail - but she compensates this with her superior Essence abilities. Her main power is her unique control over the thoughts and emotions of the people. Using this power, she became the ruler of the Temple of Spode. She also has small control over the gravity, and is able to use telekinesis.

As an ascended being, she has abilities similar to that of other Isio'Nar. She can warp reality, teleport, levitate, shapeshift, and also has her normal mind-control abilities.

Equipment
Iovera wears a robe of the Clericarchs, engraved with the ancient divine scriptures and runes. Underneath the robe, she sometimes wears a light nanometal armor to prevent assassination. She also wears the Diadem of the Twilight, the ancient headpiece used by Radeon leaders as the symbol of their status. Diadem has several shimmering, purple gemstones in it, glowing in both light and darkness. She also uses the Scepter of the Prophets, the ancient symbol of the Clericarchs' status. The scepter, in fact, is the unique piece of alien technology, allowing the user to fire the bolts of purple, burning light from it. She also wears a handgun in case of self-defense.
