The Royal Court of Centauri Prime
(Above is the only picture of the ACTUAL Royal Court of Centauri Prime I could find--I don't know HOW that NARN got into the picture...)
The Royal Court of Centauri Prime is made up of all the kind, creative, generous, and somewhat twisted souls who contribute to this site. The first time you contribute ANYTHING suitable, you will become an honourary Lord or Lady, if you like. Your name, (along with your e-mail address and/or link to your homepage, should you want me to put those things here), will be placed here in the Halls of Honour and you will recieve your noble title. You may also write a short profile of your character to be displayed with your name. Be sure and contribute--because, after all, to a Centauri, status is EVERYTHING!
Current Members of the Royal Court:
Lady Keela Shanri is the owner and creator of this site. She is a young upper-class woman with A Dark Past, who ran away from her House and indeed, her home planet!--for reasons unknown. Last anyone saw of her she was heading into Grid Epsilon. A small, delicate-looking woman with a long red ponytail and green eyes, Keela is far tougher than she looks.
Emperor Cartagia "The Caligula of Space", Cartagia is a cruel yet DASHINGLY handsome (or so HE thinks, anyway) young nobleman who comes up with most of the snottier comments, cornier jokes, and scathing reviews on this site. He lives in the Royal Palace on Centauri Prime where his favourite hobbies are drinking, primping in front of the mirror, getting advice from his Shadow Cabinet, and torturing people. If you want to know what he looks like, go to the Humour Palace.
Lady Lindaru is a third cousin to Vir Cotto and saw to much of his education when he was younger, especially teaching him diplomacy and the ability to see all sides of a debate. She has a love of things computerised and will often take "odd jobs" as the simple "Lindaru" in dark Earther clothes just as a chance to do something different. Lady Lindaru's favourite drinks are Purple People Eaters and Blue Paradises. She can get quite hysterically funny, especially at funerals, when she is known to blurt out an outrageous ditty or limerick!
Lady Gwyn is a very funny person who contributed her humour to this site and also is known to crack a lot of jokes on the Warner Bros. B5 message board, but we do not know much about her; she is the Mystery Lady of Centauri Prime. But then again, intrigue and misdirection are what we Centauri do best...
Ambassador Cotto Yes, this is indeed the same Vir Cotto that we all know and love from the show. He has contributed some jokes for us at the Humour Palace. (The person behind the character is another B5 fan like all of us, NOT actually Stephen Furst, although if he WANTED to contribute something I'd let him...) Anyone who is even reading this site in the first place should already know at least a little about Vir; to find out more about him in detail, WATCH THE FRAGGING SHOW!
"Lady Adira" is the cover name of one of the most fierce and deadly fighters in the Centauri Resistance. She was first inspired to join the rebellion by watching old Earther videos of "Blake's Seven" and "Xena: Warrior Princess". She hopes to meet her "Avon" one day, but will happily settle for "Abrahamo Lincolni" (if she can get him). When not slaying Drakh and other Shadow minions, "Lady Adira" enjoys classical music (NOT Narn Opera), nineteenth century Earther fiction, Earl Grey Tea, fashion, and small furry animals.
Lady Sovay Terasso hails from Coruda 4, a Spoo farm in Quadrant 34 where her family was banished several generations ago due to a failed assassination attempt. When the sighing of her charges became too much for any sane person to stand, she stowed away on the next transport and disappeared...to reappear three years later as a singer travelling under an assumed name. Now famous for her unique blend of Earth "Jazz" and Centauri "Night Music", she can be found today singing at the Dark Star on Babylon 5. Somewhat shy (for a Centauri) Sovay keeps a low profile due to rumoured activities during those missing years, and rarely uses her family name. What her future holds, nobody knows, but one thing is certain: as Sovay herself has been heard to say, "When you've been a Spoo-farmer, ANYTHING looks good."
Lord Alexander "The Great" is with Centauri Intelligence, currently residing on Earth, gathering information about the Humans. He is one of the first half-Human/half-Centauri know to exist, but just HOW he was conceived is a bit ofa mystery; the details of his birth never having been told to him by his (embarrassed?) parents. (Editor's note: The phrase "anatomically impossible" comes to mind...) Which is why he's perfect for his job--due to his part-Human DNA, altering him to fool a medscan was not extremely difficult. All information about his appearance and/or current whereabouts is classified.
Lord Vido Alunas grew up in a Centauri noble family and had a fairly boring youth. He loves voyaging and hates his family--or, rather, you could say that he loves voyaging BECAUSE he hates his family! Normally, he is calm and level-headed, but he has an occasional tendency towards rash actions.
