Editing The Five Star Stories (section)

== Important Entities ==

===Amaterasu no Mikado (aka Ladios Sopp)===
The 84th Emperor of the Amaterasu Kingdom Demesnes (AKD), the sole nation of the planet Delta Belun in the Eastern star system.  Amaterasu is a godlike being of immense power but with little interest in governing.  He spends most of his time living under the alter identity of Ladios Sopp, a wandering engineering savant, while leaving the actual business of running his nation to his extended family whenever he can get away with it.

===Doctor Chrome Ballanche===
The most infamous genetic engineer of his time, acclaimed for his 40-ish known masterpiece fatimas.  A total Doctor Frankenstein figure who was kicked out of academia for [[meme|''exploring many abilities some would consider unnatural.'']]  Chrome was a mentor and friend of Sopp's, and his eventual death played a part in pushing Amaterasu into tyranny.  

===Lachesis===
The 44th Ballanche fatima, one of the "three fates", the last and most powerful creations of Chrome before he passed away.  Lachesis met Sopp early in her development and asked to be made his partner when her development was complete, which Sopp begrudgingly granted.

===Atropos & Clotho===
Lachesis's two closest sisters; the three of them were made without the mental conditioning legally required of fatimas, making them all exceptionally dangerous.  Clotho picked the king of Colus as her partner, but he died shortly thereafter and she chose to place herself in stasis until his suitable successor was found a millennia later.  Atropos ran away and adopted a false identity as a freelance headliner, until she befriended a baby dragon nymph and became its guardian; after many hundreds of years raising it, the LED dragon finally granted her only wish, which was to be allowed to die.

===Aisha Codante===
A distant cousin of Amaterasu, Queen of the territory of Gees, and generally the most proactive member of the AKD's Mirage Knights.  Aisha is the only character to appear in virtually every FSS story.  Perpetually exasperated by the Emperor's antics, and in the later books is absolutely obsessed with recruiting as many strong knights as she can.  

===Mission Roath (Voards Viewlard)===
The hereditary President of Trun, a small republic on planet Addler.  The job isn't as nice as it sounds, and he's mostly a bohemian who wanders around doing odd jobs as a neutral third party knight.  His partner is Ballanche's Blue Magella; why and how she chose a bum like Roath is the mystery of the decade.

===Dougulas Kaien===
Mirage Knight #1 (retired), notorious womanizer, and the most wanted man in the galaxy.  Kaien is a relic of the fallen super-empire; his preserved embryo was found and grown by Chrome Ballanche.  Kaien partnered with Queen and joined Amaterasu's Mirage Knights.  However, he eventually learned that Queen had carried him as a fetus, which sent him into an anti-Oedipus flipout.  He tried to kill Ballanche quite a few times but Amaterasu wouldn't let him.  He ultimately went independent rogue, gaining the title Sword-sage for his prowess, until eventually meeting his end against Bosjathfort.

===Bosjathfort===
Voldemort.  Seriously.  Like, even down to the "killed, but lived on by inhabiting a body as a spirit, then regained a body by dark magic" part.  A very old, very powerful sorcerer who covets Amaterasu's position and power.  Basically a dick who wants to conquer the universe.

===Jon Weinzel===
Begins appearing in the latter half of the stories, and develops over many books.  Jon was an orphan who met an abandoned Fatima named Vasher.  Recognizing that Jon had the headliner gene, she raised him and taught him how to fight.  However, Vasher herself was an alter-ego.  In a fight with Decors Weissmel, her true identity returned: Est, servant of the black knight.  Abandoning Jon, Est picked Decors to inherit the black knight legacy.  Jon swore revenge and was eventually scouted by Aisha Codante.  While it would take many years to break his obsession with regaining Vasher, he eventually becomes a Mirage Knight with Palsuet, a fatima he had rescued during his travels.
