Quintessa

Welcome to Quintessa. I hope you don't expect to leave alive...

Quintessa

Welcome to the planet Quintessa. I, Dealiticus, will be your guide, for a small fee. (Clink, clink.) Thank you. For now, here are some of my fellow Quintessons:

Astracius

Species: Quintesson
Faction: Quintesson
Function: SCIENTIST/MEDIC
Rank: Maximus Domine/9 - Faction Commander

Quote: "Ahhh, another guinea pig."

Note: Astracius is a Scientist who was feared when the Quints controlled Cybertron. He used prisoners to experiment on like they were no more than lab rats, testing his awful and lethal creations on them. Evil to the circuit his primary concern is always his own safety, would send whole regiments out to defend himself. As a leader he is highly skilled, in ordering a retreat, but since the withdrawal from Cybertron he has always tried to be in a position where he can get the quints to invade again.

Armatus

Species: Quintesson
Faction: Quintesson
Function: MILITARY OPERATIONS
Rank: Kilos Adeptus/4 - Cybertronian Observation

Quote: "That which is acquired without difficulty is dispersed with equal facility."

Note: Physically stronger and more sturdy than a typical Quintesson, Armatus has been primed for a career in the military. Brash and overbearing, he intimidates other s to achieve his goals. He is diligently loyal to his superiors. When required to lead his Sharkticons into battle, he basks in the excitement of the conflict. He has special interests in Quintesson military history, particularly that which involves Cybertron, and in low-level weapons design. Merciless and confident, he is an asset to his fellow Quintessons.

Astropiticus

Species: Quintesson
Faction: Quintesson
Function: BUILDER/SCIENTIST
Rank: Kilos Adeptus/4 - Head of Quintesson Intelligence

Quote: "What I create I can also destroy."

Note: Astropiticus is a constructionist and builder who builds for a purpose. When the Quintesson controlled Cybertron, he constructed glorious watchtowers and many devilish factories. He likes watching his slaves work and is only concerned with his own glory. He is skilled as a leader, but often sends troops out on impossible missions to their deaths. He is paranoid about his creations, and suspects conspiracies routinely. Since the withdrawl from Cybertron, he has been content with his research. He knows someday, that the Quinitessons will again invade, yet he wants to take no iniative on his own. He invisions great hordes of troops dying on each side. Nothing could bring Astropiticus more pleasure.

Teratogenus
Species: Quintesson
Faction: Quintesson
Function: LIFEFORM DESIGN
Rank: Centuros Initiatae/3

Quote: "All lesser lifeforms are rightfully mine to recreate for my purposes, as my genius is far superior to theirs."

Note: The Dr. Frankenstein of Quintessa. Dedicated to designing more powerful creatures for the Quintessons' purposes--and he enjoys his work. Has extensive knowledge of lifeforms, and draws design elements for his monsters from all of these.

Albionus
Species: Quintesson
Faction: Quintesson
Function: SCHOLAR
Rank: Unos Novitae/1

Quote: "There is no knowledge that is not power."

Note: As a scholar of the murky depths of arcane knowledge, Albionus seeks not to use this knowledge to gain power, but it is the knowledge itself that is power. There is nothing in this universe that cannot be understood without sufficient study, and he intends to study until he understands as much as his brain and supplemental memory banks can hold. He doesn't have much use for politics, but if they are convenient to support his goals, so be it.

Meritorius

Species: Quintesson
Faction: Quintesson
Function: WEAPONS DESIGN
Rank: Unos Novitae/1

Quote: "There is nothing more satisfying than making a tool that kills."

Note: A dedicated scientist, Meritorius is a specialist in designing and building new tools of warcraft. He delights in watching one of his new "toys" in action, though he rarely stoops so low as to use them himself. Most of his creations are sold to other races, especially to those engaged in civil wars. He keeps numerous Sharkticons around him at all times, and treats them like pets. He possesses four faces - Thinker, Teacher, Speaker, and Builder.

Possanius

Species: Quintesson
Faction: Quintesson
Function: GENERAL
Rank: Unos Novitae/1 - General of the Guard

Quote: "Onward! For the Greater Glory of Quintessa, victory is ours!"

Note: Possanius is the famed 'mad general' of the Quintesson Guard. He is obviously unstable (rumored to be caused by the accident that made all his faces the same early in his existence) but no one cares to remove him from command because of his undebatable ability and record with his troops. This doesn't mean he isn't concerned about losing his position, so he travels with his most loyal troop whenever possible. He sees all other lifeforms as inferior, but useful as slave labor. He will not kill a captive unless extremely provoked, and always 'sizes up' strangers as to their potential use. He manages to barely hide this belief when outnumbered in enemy territory.

Trokius

Species: Transformer Faction: Quintesson
Function: ASSAULT STATION
Rank: Unos Novitae/1

Quote: "Affirmative."

Note: Created by Quintessons several million years ago, Trokius has been recently recovered through military operations. A gigantic robot that towers hundreds of feet, it has no sentience, but follows orders to the letter. Capable of transforming into both a star-faring vessel and a highly defended city. Without a mind of it's own, it knows no fear or emotions, and unlike past dealings with robotic species, Trokius will not rebel against his Quintesson masters.

Out planet is continuously . More Quintessons are going public everyday. Please return soon to enjoy the latest additions, and if you know a Quintesson not listed, by all means let me know...
