Mariah Sincawa (mɑɹɑˈiɑ sinkɑʋɑ)

Kesingeb Sudomil Kerteros Aliret (a.k.a. Mariah Sincawa)

The Kesingeb Sudomil, the prophet of the Afkaschein Gos Dzihad. Was once a famous Admiral-Captain under the name of Kerteros Aliret, in the Cellean autocratic space, but assumed a new name after the empire's collapse, going by Mariah Sincawa now.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Fine, especially for her age. While she's lived for over 400 years with life extension treatments, there are no such things on Afkaschein. Having started the treatments at around 20 years of age, and having been on Afkaschein for around thirty years, she's biologically in her 50s. Somewhat athletic, strong, and overall in peak condition.

Body Features

A considerable amount of cybernetic enhancement, even if mostly unnoticeable. A brain-connected computer and communication system, a cybernetic eye, some muscle reinforcement, and some tools to help visualise battle situations. She was an admiral, after all.
Also some severe burn scarring across and near her right shoulder. A cybernetic left leg, starting from just below the hip.

Apparel & Accessories

A suit of simple armour, covered by a cloth and a hood. She also has two weapons, the Redeemer and the Unfaithful's Companion. The Redeemer is roughly a meter long, and is styled after a European arming sword, which she wields with both hands. The Companion is a slighty curved dagger, very reminiscent of a Japanese wakizashi, though with a blade on both sides.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born in a space station called Vhinalana above Cellea proper, the capital of the Cellean Autocratic Space at the time, in 2431, she joined the Cellean navy at around 40 or so years old. Over the course of her career, she rose in the ranks until she was granted the rank of Admiral-Captain of Cellea, succeeding the previous admiral's death.
Eventually, in the late 2500s, she reached a region, the Juuggen system, a trinary star. There, the defenses of the system's nations had been heavily fortified, and the admiral-captain's fleet was grossly outmatched. While a Cellean fleet's default strength is usually plenty, hers had been reduced to less than 60% of it's size, due to leaving ships and people behind to take care of conquered territories, as well as battlefield casualties in generel. She lost, and was taken captive.
Some 30 years later, she was released, only to find the empire she served for over a hundred years collapsing in on itself. Cue an existential crisis, some soulsearching, and similar stuff, and she's found herself on Afkaschein, in the 2840s, now almost 400 years old.

Education

Highly educated, and trained in single combat as well as fleet and ground combat.

Mental Trauma

After being imprisoned for thirty years, she emerged to find out the empire she'd served for the better part of her life was violently collapsing. With how far her loyalty to the empire went, she was devastated and underwent an existential crisis, and ended up spending over 200 years looking for a new path in life.

Morality & Philosophy

Having been raised in the Cellean autocratic space, she views war and conquest as a favourable way of control, even more than other people born into the empire like Stringer. This being the case, she would gain a reputation for ruthlessness, and having little hesitation for annihilating entire planets, sometimes in very flashy ways. She nowadays does regret her actions, having realized quite the effect Cellean occupation had on people.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Having seen the injustices caused by the Cellean empire, she now wants to redeem herself in a way, by helping the people of Afkaschein forge a new nation, a prosperous one. It's difficult, but her position as a messiah-figure is certainly a help.

"These people are fanatics. Zealots. Kesingeb Sudomil, Mariah. Listen to me. Fanatisicm is like a flame. And you know what they say about flame. It is a good servant, but a poor master. You are in the unique position where you can mold this flame into something productive, forge a nation loyal to your cause. If you do not, if you let the flame loose... Well, you know quite well what these people are capable of. "

"Gref, please. I know it's a risk, but I'll be fine. I know what I'm doing. This is now a matter of pride, and my respect among the people. Felraum Holt will fall, and it will fall by my hand, I assure you."
