Alpha Nemesis - refined

character: color refined rendition of Alpha Nemesis from "Star Maidens"

Alpha Nemesis was once Aurora Star's second-in-command when they fought together in the Advent Wars preventing evil forces from taking possession of the secret and powerful Advent Scepter. After the war Aurora was in charge of taking possession of The Advent Scepter for safekeeping, but Alpha grew deeply resentful for Aurora's self appointed title and wanted to uses the Crystal powers for herself. Alpha along with her own fraction of Star Maidens allied herself with a trio of scheming Twilight Mages called The Triad in attempt to siege The Advent Scepter. To end the senseless bloodshed between her Star Maiden Sisters, Aurora challenged her former friend in a Maiden duel on earth for control of The Advent Scepter. After a ferocious battle in the Northern Sky, Aurora sealed Alpha in the deepest caverns of The Arctic Circle. Without Alpha Nemeses to guide them Alpha's sister Omega Vortex, took the disgraced Luciens warriors now called Dark Star Maidens vowing that she will get revenge for her sisters defeat. Fearing that history will again repeat itself, Aurora shattered The Spectrum Star Crystal into thousands of tiny peaces. Aurora ordered the remaining Star Maidens to scatter the broken shards and hide across the farthest corners of the cosmos. After placing the Scepter's protection into the hands of her most trusted ally Sir Azurious Sky leader of The Celestial Knights, Aurora Star and her fellow Luciens transformed themselves into mortals to coexist with the universe peacefully. The Luciens vow only to awaken their true selves if the universe ever need them again or if the Dark Star Maidens ever return...

Fast forward to the present day, a scientific expedition arrived at the arctic caverns to research the site, among them is a hapless civilian teenager named Jasmine Webb. When Jasmine got lost from the expedition team in the caverns, she stumbles upon the sealed tomb where Alpha is sealed and she accidentally re-opened it, released the captive Alpha and her dark entity powers to be released. Little does Jasmine know that her DNA which matched from the original Aurora Star has unsealed the tomb, forcing one of its' guardians, a longtime ally of the Star Maidens soon track down Jasmine to re-capture Alpha and send her back to the tomb and re-seal it. Now released from her eternal prison, reunited with her younger sister Omega and vowing revenge at Aurora Star, Alpha uses the powers of the dark entity she manifested from her long slumber to enslave humanity, destroy the last remaining Star Maidens and regain the Advent Scepter in order to conquer the entire galaxy. Only Jasmine, re-christened as Aurora Star, is the only person in the universe to stop Alpha's reign of terror, leading up to an inevitable confrontation with the two super-powered female warriors with humanity's fate at stake.

Alpha Nemesis does not see herself as evil incarnate but as a woman scorned. She was one of Aurora Star trusted allies and protector of The Advent Scepter and it's Power source The Spectrum Star Crystal. Alpha believed that she would have been a better choice as The crystal's protector which steps of a deep rooted jealously of being in Aurora's shadow and that's why she joined The Tribunal (The Traitorous fraction of The Twilight Mages formerly known as The Triad). So when Alpha is awakened form her slumber, she sees it as her chance to seek retribution on the Star Maiden that betrayed her and a chance to bring order to a chaotic universe by seeking The Advent Scepter to remake it as she sees fit which leaders her to team up with her old Tribunal ally Helgar The Inquisitive (aka Hexor The Sorcerer). Although she is strict and over demanding on her younger sister Omega, Alpha is more of a motherly figure to her, giving her the training and discipline to tune her into a deadly warrior. She is determined to achieve her goals of finding the whereabouts of the Advent Scepter and hopes to use it to enslave the universe and eliminate her enemies the Star Maidens once and for all.

Alpha Nemesis will have control of Dark Light Energy (aka Eigengrau) the opposite of Light Energy which allows her to do all these things as well as transform herself into a shadowy form known as "The Dark Entity". Alpha is a powerful magician as well as a seasoned and experienced warrior. Her dark entity magic can manifest and create humanoid monster minions which either appear by themselves as armored female conscripts or can possess unsuspecting humans and transform them into possessed monstrosities. Her powers include flight, super-speed and strength, magnetic beam projection from her eyes, energy projectiles emitting from her hands, invulnerability to human weapons, spinning transformation, teleportation, and control over Earth's weather. As a warrior, she is highly trained in hand-to-hand combat, using her magical scepter as a melee weapon which is effective in repelling other Star Maiden weaponry like light swords and beam projectile weapons. When she decided to face the Star Maidens in duels for pleasure, she spin-transforms into her battle outfit and is additional powered with generated light blades and shields. Her special attacks are the "Dark Entity Cyclone", where she super-spins into a devastating hurricane infused with dark energy, and the "Alpha Beam Attack" when can disintegrate any object within its' path, forcing the Star Maidens to use their smart-shields to full-power in order to repel it. Alpha is also trained in Earth mythology and ancient civilizations, useful for creating creative monsters at her will.
