Gender: Female
Race: Pherean/Hallow
Rank: Previous Ruler of Detearal
Occupation: None

Abilities

Hand to hand combat: As the carrier of Viscera’s Claws, which are powered gauntlets granted by the god in Detearal, adding to her hand to hand combat skills makes a very devastating combination. She has always used this skill, abandoning the way of the sword a long time ago.

Expert marksman: As the carrier of Airtos’ rifle, a weapon granted by the goddess in Detearal, she has learned and perfected her talents with a any weapon from handgun to heavy artillery. She rarely misses anymore and when she does it is usually on purpose.

Expert Pilot: As Detearal is advanced in the times, Salem pilots multiple machines and has even built many of her own. Even though she is a pilot she is also an expert mechanic, her main air ship that is hidden in her school has some unique abilities that only she can unleash.

Pherean Spores: Salem is infected by a rare plant recently found on her home planet. A lunar Pherean flower’s spores changed her DNA. She can create technology she’s witnessed with just a thought.

Scars, Tattoos and the like: None

Clothing Preference: She wears black skinny jeans and an elegant white dress shirt with a black corset over top, her suit wouldn’t be complete without her black leather gloves and knee high boots.

Brief personality: Salem tends to be sarcastic and brooding, though she isn’t without a sense of humour. She has a bad habit of not being able to take people seriously sometimes, particularly when they express any sort of interest in her; she tends to brush them off. It’s easier for her to pretend that people are just being insincere most of the time. She can be really patient, but when it runs thin she loses her temper. On the flip side, Salem can be gentle and nurturing. Seen as either strength or weakness, she is often self sacrificing and tends to hold a lot of guilt within her.

Under the Pherean spores: Can take on the form of a teal flaming pheonix. She is violent and destructive, can’t remember people she knew and will pick fights without even knowing what caused the confrontation in the first place. She is possessed by Cyanea, the queen of Pherea to do her bidding.

Character’s status

Detearal has fallen to the hands of a race that slowly took over the planet from the soil. With the existence of the Lunar Pherean Flower, Salem, Detearal's queen, fell victim to the spores that mutated her DNA. With the queen under the flower's spores, Pherea, a natural planet conquered. Using Salem as a weapon, Cyanea used Salem to murder the population of Detearal. The only few to escape Salem’s wrath are Tyreal, Nemo, and Lutea. The three are now displaced, Tyreal in Twilight, Nemo in hiding, and Lutea in Nightmare city. Lutea is more in the dark than the other two, Nemo led Salem away from Nightmare to keep her and the Moon family safe. Now Pherea is working to get through the portal to Isis, the queen, Cyanea will unleash her Lunar flowers with the help of her puppet. Being exposed to technology, Pherea sees Isis as the next threat.

Detearal's People and Planet: Mostly enhanced humans, faster and stronger. The royal families are species known as Hallows, able to use magic. They serve under Salem as she is the blood descendant of Viscera, the canine god of light and Airtos, the avian goddess of darkness. The link to the gods skipped her elder brothers, gifting her the throne. Detearal is a technological labyrinth, very futuristic that lives under a purple moon.

Pherea's People and Planet:They are a colony of creatures with sub human like appearances. Their torso is black, but the skin transitions to white as it reaches the tips of the extremities. They are leaner being with long arms, thick sharp claws, and orange eyes. Most of them can transform into leviathans, their queen Cyanea being the largest. They are of nature, breathing through their skin, surviving through photosynthesis and light sprays of water. Most Phereans cannot be submerged in water unless in their leviathan form. The youth of their species go dormant in the night. Pherea is a natural oasis of wilderness. At one point a modern world, the Phereans claimed the planet and mother nature took it back. There is no known origin of the Phereans, only believed that they appeared one day thanks to a single Lunar flower that only blooms at night. In their dormant stage, they are spores.
