Many scars littering her body from battles both won and lost. Orange-ish skin, like most of her kind.
Equipment and Weapons:
Tamaranean Armor: Armour given to her by her mother, Komand'r, it fits perfectly to her body. When she doesn't quite need it, it appears to be nothing more than maybe metallic underwear but, when danger is near or she feels she needs it, there is a small button of sorts that she can trigger to make the armor change. Well, not so much as change rather than extends protective plates down and around most of her more bare skin, including her feet. Her armor, like her starbolts and 'aura', is purple in color, darker, nearing an almost black with a purple sheen in light.
Pan-Galactic 'Communication' Gauntlet: Gauntlets that her armor can attach to when it goes into it's full body setting. Gauntlets that Luciand'r was told were 'bought' specifically for her use in her up and coming Earth-bound mission, they were stolen from Tamaran by her brother and given to her mother. The gauntlets, thought to be broken, are supposed to be able to aid in the communication across the galaxy so that Lucy is able to report to her mother about the status of her mission. Sadly, they never really did work too well even when she first got them and aren't much in the way of protection either. So, generally, they sit in the bottom of her travel bag, though she does try tinkering with them every so often in order to try and get in touch with her mother. What Lucy doesn't quite realize, though, is that the gauntlet were never really meant for her to communicate They are, more so, a way for Komand'r to keep close tabs on her wretch of a daughter. Bugged so that, when Komand'r wants, she can listen in, and a chip in them that allows her to actually pinpoint Lucy's location if she ever needs to.
X'Hal: A little black and white kitten she pretty much adopted from the street. For some odd reason, she felt something of a connection with the little critter and couldn't just leave it out on the streets to die so she gave it a name and has treated it like her own child ever since, generally carrying her around and spoiling her when she can.
Powers:
Linguistic Assimilation: Omnilinguism, as she likes to think of it, is the ability to quickly learn other languages just by hearing a little of it spoken or through touch. The simplest touch to the bare skin, no matter where it is, is all that is needed. It's very useful when needing to travel to different countries and having to speak with people of varying dialects. Though it only takes a touch to learn a language or understand it, the easiest, and quickest way for her to assimilate languages is through a kiss. It doesn't quite work with babies and younger people who don't have as much of an understanding on the language they will someday speak fluently. On the other hand, alien languages take a little more time to take effect but it's pretty much the same principle as the earthly languages. It would seem odd, that an alien has a harder time assimilating other alien languages but earthly ones are simple. And it's because of that reason exactly that they don't take as long. Earthly languages are far simpler than most other languages out in the galaxy.
Self-Sustainability via Solar Absorption: Tamaraneans do not actually need to eat or drink anything in order to survive, nor do they need to sleep to rejuvenate themselves and maintain their strengths. Even breathing isn't exactly a necessity for them, which is ideal when traveling through space outside of ships. So long as they absorb enough uv energy put off by the sun's solar rays, they are right as rain. The absorption of uv energy can keep a Tamaranean running smoothly for as long as it needs to. It also helps to power them and allows them to use their 'starbolts' and fly as well as help with their strength and durability. Though don't get me wrong, it takes more than just solar energy. It's also a mix of emotions and belief in themselves and their powers that keeps their powers working.
Flight: There isn't much needed in the explanation of 'flying'. It is simply just that, the ability to take flight, though without the assistance of additional appendages such as wings of some sort. Her flight is made possible through the same means as her starbolt energy. It is believed that all a Tamaranean has to do is have enough faith in their ability and it will happen, much like their energy power. When in flight, there is generally an energy trail left behind that is similar to the energy left by the use of starbolts. For Lucinda, that energy is a light violet color. It hasn't been exactly figured out just how fast she can actually fly, having never really used the fullest of her potential by any means necessary. But, the fastest she has gone, have been close to hypersonic speeds, maybe even faster. After all, traveling through space, one needs to be going quite fast.
Inter-Galactic Travel: This is a power that, quite honestly has no real limits nor does it need much explanation. She is able to travel at hypersonic speeds through the vacuums of space with ease. Her speeds out there are far faster than her speeds on any gravity stricken planet and she can easily travel from on galaxy to another in literally no time at all.
'Starbolt' Energy Projection: A psionic based energy that can be emitted from various places, such as directed from beams from her eyes or hands and is also often emitted off of her body in less harmful ways. While these energies can't make hard constructs, they can be used to seemingly telekinetically lift objects of several tons. However, concentrating on carrying objects with her 'starbolt' energy takes up far more energy than simply firing the bolts at people. And the bigger the object, the less time she can actually carry it, especially on planets with higher gravitational fields. It honestly takes less energy to just pick things up by hand. However, using her violet energy to carry things does have an advantage, at least to people not herself. It can help her make others seemingly fly, though it's easier to use to throw people. Or fire high velocity energy blasts at people.
Superhuman Durability: Tamaraneans are known to be extremely durable to most things. Almost to the point of invulnerability. Almost. However, they are not really invulnerable and the less solar energy they can soak up, they more human they seemingly become. So really, how durable she is is all subject to change dependent on her energy levels. On average, however, in terms of projectiles and explosions, so long as she's had a sufficient amount of solar energy absorbed into her cells, she can withstand bomb detonations and even lower calibre bullets being fired at her with seemingly no damage at all. However, over time, everything wears and tears eventually.
Superhuman Strength: Tamaraneans are very much known for their strength. Aftet all, they are a race if Warriors. And, like stated before, her strength varies, though it's not just because of energy stored, it also has to do with her emotional state. Her very top limits of strength are truly unknown, however, the top she knows she can reach is around ten or so tons. And it's likely she won't be able to lift more than that.
Superhuman Agility and Speed: Lucy is exceedingly agile, usually able to move fast enough to evade most hits that are thrown her way. Her agility and speed stem from both her flight, her training, and, of course, her alien physiology. She is able to run at speeds most normal cars can't reach, though she is by far no where near as fast as a speedster, at least not on the ground. Besides, she's usually not running on the ground, anyway. But, on the ground, she usually can top out at nearly one hundred and twenty miles per hour. At least, that's the fastest she's ever run.
Superhuman Stamina: Being that she is self sustaining, so long as she has absorbed a sufficient amount of solar energy, she is able to just keep going and going without sleep, food, water, anything really. However, even she slowly wears out, especially during a fight. It's her strength that does it the most. Well, her strength and her starbolts.
Tolerance to Extreme Environments: Being not just an alien but someone who can travel through the vacuums of space without having to wear, well, anything. Yes, she could be naked and the extreme temperatures wouldn't even be felt. Hot, cold, neither of them really register and it's not that she doesn't have a sense of touch, her race is just used to the extreme environmental differences in space and on various planets.
Skills:
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: You are talking about a girl not only from a race of Warrior Aliens, but also one with a mother who had once thought to be one of the greatest warriors and a military genius. And, on top of both of those was able to take control of an entirely new planet. You really think that her children, that her daughter would be anything but a master of hand to hand combat? She doesn't need a weapon, doesn't need to know thing like 'tai chi' and 'akido' to be a seriously marvelous fighter. She was trained to use not just her powers and body but also her environment around to her advantage.
Musically Inclined: Not necessarily a useful gift, Luciand'r has always been a gifted musician. She is quick to pick up musical instruments and her voice is like an angel's, or so an earthling tried to tell her before. Even though she doesn't really know what an angel is.
Eidetic Memory: For the most part, Lucy has an eidetic memory. She simply remembers everything. Well, aside from what happens when she goes into one of her trance-like blackouts. This is always useful when she's trying to learn various things and 'fit in' on earth. However, with everything she remembers and picks up, she also is just as likely to mix things up. It's not so much that she has ever forgotten something, she just has a knack for confusing her memories and various events, etc.
Marvelous Actress: Being raised by someone who is seemingly a master of manipulation, Lucy was pretty much raised to be an 'actress' of sorts, to be able to get into any role she is given to play from the sweet little innocent to the twisted and malevolent warrior. And that's probably one of Lucy's problems. She was taught to be this actress, such a great one at that, that she doesn't always know where the act ends and who she really is begins.
Adaptive Combat Skills: While she isn't one to use weapons in battle, she was always taught to adapt to her surroundings and, when she needs to, adapt her style to try and be the 'top dog' in a fight. Even if she has to use whatever passes as a weapon in the area to do so. From a knife to a trash can lid.
Excellent in Flight Maneuvering: She has been raised to be able to maneuver in flight, no matter how fast she goes with precision and ease. Flight techniques most plane utilize are among the many things she was taught to help in evasion and to assist in an attack. Besides, what is the point of being able to fly if you can't maneuver while doing so.
Multilingual: Let us be honest. She is able to assimilate any language through a simple touch or kiss, so listing all the languages she can speak isn't exactly the easiest, she can speak several alien languages from kree, tamaranean, to rannian to quite a few earthly ones like english, spanish, and italian. The number of languages is honestly unknown but, it wouldn't even matter if she couldn't speak it as she could easily assimilate it.
Weaknesses:
1.) What are all of these things? Curiosity is something that plagues Lucy and has always been something that her mother found to be a rather ridiculous thing to come from her daughter, to the point that she found it to be her biggest weakness. And, to a certain extent, it is. Her curious nature makes her ask a lot of questions, sometimes at inopportune times. There is so much out there that piques her interest yet, having lived a sheltered sort of life, she hasn't had the chance to truly indulge in that curiosity. And, being that this is her first time really on her own, that curiosity is going to finally get the chance to run rampant, something that could lead to more trouble than it's worth.
2.) Yes mother, whatever you say While she occasionally has doubts in what her mother says, teaches her, and true intentions, Lucy has a somewhat blind loyalty to the woman. Her doubts she keeps mostly internalized, not wanting to lose trust from her mother. And even when she doubts that what her mother is ordering her to do, she will still follow and listen, wanting to trust her mother with all her heart. Even now, with a small part of her knowing that her mother has set her up to take a fall worse than death, she refuses to truly let herself believe it as she has too much blind faith in her mother. If her mother asked her to sacrifice herself, she likely would, thinking it was for good reason, even if, in the end, her mother really doesn't care one bit for the girl.
3.) What do you mean someone is 'pulling my strings'? Luciand'r is manipulated very easily. She is young and naive and that can be used against her if done correctly. Though, out of all who seem to know her, her mother pulls her proverbial strings the most. She has pretty much perfectly orchestrated Lucy's entire life, right down to the point in which she was imprisoned. Everything is by Komand'r's grand design and Lucy doesn't even know it. And if others could ever see how easy it was to manipulate her, more than likely through her mother, she could be in quite a bit of trouble.
4.) They are all vile little creatures Luciand'r is a terrible racist. Now, i don't meam by the way people think of them today in this society, by ethnicity and the like. No, Lucy's racism can borderline on xenophobia, the fear of alien lifeforms. I know what you're thinking, she's an alien, is she afraid of herself? No. To her, everyone else is an alien that is not Tamaranean and, while she does not actually fear them, she does show immense feelings of disgust and almost hatred for other races, thinking them vile and inferiot due to her upbringing. However, there are sometimes excepts, such as the furry animal life of earth like cats and the like. This disgust she shows, the way she thinks that these creatures are inferior, can lead to her underestimating them, and that is just another thing that can spell out trouble for her.
5.) You wouldn't like me when I am angry Tamaraneans have always been known to be fueled by their emotions. The stronger their emotions, the more power behind their attacks. And being someone that gives into her feelings of anger the most, her attacks can be dangerous to others. However, her emotional state also tends to be very unstable, fluxuating like that of a teenage girl's would. It may be hard to think of her as such at times, but that doesn't make it any less of a fact that she is simply a teenage girl with emotions that can be frenzied, which can cause her powers to sometimes unstable, unpredictable, or even seemingly unusable.
6.) Someone give me light Aside from emotions, the strength of a Tamaranean also comes from the absorption of the sun's UV rays. While it can be stored in her cells for so long, being deprived of the UV radiation can have a devastating effect on her, stripping her of her powers, making her feel weak, and even make her feel she is suffocating at times as, because of her self-sustainability via solar absorption, she isn't used to having a need to breathe.
7.) I do not quite understand Everything on Earth is so confusing to her. She doesn't understand the simplest of phrases and she had lived such a sheltered life priorly that a lot of things just fly right over her head. Because of this, she is known to get very confused by, well, almost everything on Earth. Sure, she is slowly learning, but Earth is vast and complex, not as simple to understand as punching people through walls and the arts of war.
8.) Age before Beauty Luciand'r, despite her somewhat older appearance, is only seventeen. Not only that, but she lived a very sheltered life, so while young, she hasn't really lived much of it. She has her youth and with that youth comes an almost child-like naivity and, to an extent, innocence that she doesn't quite see or understand. I use the term innocence very lightly as she doesn't really seem the innocent type when you break away her supposed façade. She believes things easily and can't tell the difference between fact and fiction at times as she trusts what she hears on the television more than she really ought to. With youth comes a somewhat lack of experience in the real world outside of her real home.
9.) I wake up with blood on my hands Luciand'r suffers from blackouts, generally in battle, where she sees red and does things that she doesn't always seem like she would actually do. Things tend to go very bad during these times and she doesn't quite know why it happens, furthermore, while she won't let it show, these blackouts terrify her as she doesn't always want to hurt people, she simply does as her mother wants her to do. However when she goes into her Battle Trance, logic, innocence, and restraint melt away. Were she to get hurt during her battle trance, she wouldn't have a clue how it happened. These trances are a scary thing for her and a terrible weakness as she can lose hours, days, even weeks of her life to them.
10.) All I see is death around me When she sleeps, she tends to dream of the people she has killed. These dreams are the only time that she believes what might have occurred during her battle trances shows through. Whether that is really the case or not is to speculation. And being of a race that doesn't need to sleep, these dreams, or nightmarea rather, are yet another terror to her. Especially when they feature how she killed her father. And, on occasion, a false memory of possibly even being the reason why her twin brother is missing.
11.) Who am I? What is probably the most terrifying amd confusing thing to her, though, is her lack of understanding who she really is. She doesn't know what personalities are her masks and which is who she truly is on the inside. Is she blood drenched warrior? The evil princess? Or the sweet and innocent girl that lies beneath it all? The girl she 'pretends' to be? Is who she thinks she is really just someone her mother programmed into an actually quite innocent and lighthearted soul? Or is she truly that dark and menacing creature she thinks she is? She is in identity crisis and it confuses her, sometimes even leaves her unable to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. It freezes her, makes her just want to hide, to curl up, wishing she knew just who she really was. The answer is harder to find than one might expect.
12.) He was from outta this world Her very first real interaction with the 'earthlings' that Komand'r had instilled in her to hate was a boy around her age named Wyatt. And, while she likely would never admit it, he could have been considered something of a weakness to her. Now, while she has an incredible disdain for most humans, he was always different and it had been nice until her mother found out. Subsequently his possible safety got used against her and, quite honestly, it still is used against her by her mother to this day.
13.) Caffeine recharges my batteries... so get me some more! A bit of a silly weakness but, every since coming to Earth, she has grown a slight addiction to caffeine. She loves it, adores it, and, quite honestly, she sometimes feels that she genuinely needs it to keep going.

THE REST
Personality:
Luciand'r was never the most simple of people to wrap your head around. Though on the outside she may show herself to be one person, it is usually a ruse, a way to gain trust and keep her enemies on their toes. What may be perceived as a feeble young girl on the outside only hides the true terror that the girl can be on the in. When she wants to be, the girl known as Lucinda is gentle and sweet, always doing her part to brighten someones day with the most charming of smiles. She plays herself as an innocent, someone who does not quite understand the dangers that could be around any number of corners in this human world. Her words and tone are often well thought out, always trying to keep some hint of mystery behind them. From what she has observed so far, people seem to like a hint of mystery, something to always keep them guessing. Her innocence isn't completely an act, though. For starters, she is still quite young, with what she hopes will be many years ahead of her. The part of the not so made up innocence comes from naivety. She knows very little of Earth, aside from few things her mother had taught her before sending her off, and is always in need of learning more and more of how things work. What people say and how they react to certain things, as well as most traditions or 'rituals' that humans take part in elude her, leaving her in a state of constant questioning. Lucy tries to hide her naivety when she is acting as what she has been, for lack of a better term, 'programmed' to believe is her true self.
While Lucinda is something of a 'mask' that the princess seems to wear, 'Darkfire' is the face in which she believes she truly is. It's what her mother has made her believe she was meant to be. Darkfire is callous, precise, and quite uncaring for the 'human condition'. There are actually very few humans that she can seemingly stand, even without wearing such masks. One of them being someone she met in space. For the most part, she's quite cold. All of her 'naivety', she likes to think she puts aside because, being a princess, she just can't have any of that, right? Even though everything still tends to confuse her, she's quite good at bs-ing it. There is doubt in her mind, though, of everything she does. But that doubt is masked behind her blind loyalty to her mother. For her mother can do no wrong. She's not afraid to kill if she has to, torture is never out of the question, and, quite honestly, she doesn't even a twinge of guilt for the crimes she commits against people. Or, well, if she does, she hides it well. She will do anything in order to make sure that her task is done and done correctly, even if, in the end, her foolishness could very well cost her her own life.
Luciand'r, yet another face, is a fierce warrior. Or she likes to believe she is. Luciand'r is, in all honesty, who she probably really is on the inside, even if she denies the truth behind it. She's an almost perfect mix of the other two sides. Sweet and charming when she needs to be, naive even. She doesn't mind interacting with people. Actually, she quite prefers it. Well, either the company of other aliens or animals. Humans are still a bit iffy, though that was kind of how she was raised. Still, whens he needs to be, she is the fierce warrior that is quite well known to flourish in Tamaranean bloodlines. She will not back down for a challenge, even if she thinks it will end horribly for her out of her own selfish prides and desires. She tries to at least seem more polite, being a political figure of sorts in the Rannian eye, taught to deal with other planets and nations so that her mother wouldn't have to. She tries to keep her anger from flaring, having small mantras she says in her head to keep from blacking out and going into her raging modes. She's not all that bad, though, not really. She's just a confused girl trapped in her own mind, never knowing which face that she puts up is the real one or the fake one.
History:
Luciand'r's story doesn't actually start with Luciand'r at all. No, rather, it begins with her mother. It has always been known that, though Komand'r seems to be the queen that Tamaran very well deserves, it is not the one that it could ever have. The fierce warrior princess who's strategies for battle are thorough and nigh perfect could easily be said to be a bit too violent and even jealous of her sister, Koriand'r. But Komand'r's jealousy was best shown when, after her sister had wed and become queen of Tamaran, she tried to murder her in cold blood to take the throne for herself. For her crimes, she was originally sentenced to death. However, Koriand'r couldn't really seem to allow for such a thing. Because, despite all the terribleness and evil that seemed to resonate through her sister's very heart, she still believed that there was some form of good. So, rather than death, she gave her sister one last chance. But that chance would not be on Tamaran. That chance would never be on Tamaran, actually. No, she exiled her sister. What she hadn't really counted on was the small army that followed Komand'r away, among them being a Tamaranean named Zorni'r who, while he'd once been a part of the Queen's Guard, had always had a secret fondness for Kom instead.
With no real home, no place to go, Komand'r had taken her followers and traversed space for a good year or so, jumping from place to place as she tried to figure out what her next move should be. Until it hit her. That next move, the one she should make seemed all too obvious. The fools of Tamaran, exiling her rather than killing her when they had the chance. The opportunity for an all new war was brilliant. And she knew just the place: Rann. The conflicts between Rann and other planets priorly, including Tamaran, made it almost the perfect place. Add onto that the fact that Rannian's were much more like humans in their capabilities, save for a much higher intelligence and much better technology. They were also a race that was obviously slow deteriorating due to it's diluted gene pool. Brilliant as they might be, they wouldn't be able to last all that much longer without assistance. Seeing their weakness and the usefulness of such a scientific and technologically advanced planet, Kom took action. It was far easier to take over than she had thought and, soon, she was unanimously declared Rann's Queen, after a bit of convincing, with Zorni'r as her royal consort.
Together, the two of them could make an army, make a world that Kom could use to take back her rightful place on the Tamaranean throne. What she hadn't counted on was actually becoming pregnant with her Consort's children. Still, the usefulness of having heir's of her own far outweighed the repercussions of such a feat so, while it had been considered, she had gone through with the pregnancy. What she had originally expected to be only one child, she ended up having two: twins that she named Luciand'r and Morkand'r. And while they held the royal blood of Tamaran in their veins, they were not quite known as the Tamaranean Prince and Princess. Rather, they would be the heir's to the throne of Rann and, perhaps someday, they will also take back the throne that should rightfully be theirs.
One can only imagine the kind of life that any child of Komand'r would live. From a young age, Luci and Mork were trained up like the warriors that their bloodline were known for. Hand to hand combat, flight maneuvering (though that was something that Kom had trouble teaching due to the sickness that had taken from her most of her ability to fly. It was more so Zorni'r's job to teach that), starbolt creation and use in battle, war strategy, and, above all, political awareness. Training was often tedious but Luci grew to love it as it was really the only time that she got to spend with her parents. Mork was always better than her in everything she did, however. Every time they fought, Mork often won due to Luci's reluctance to want to bring her family harm. You see, Luci was odd, at least in her family. Where Mork seemed to have his mother's total disregard for anyone but himself, Luci still had a conscience. One that she had to beat down more often than not in order to try and be what her mother wanted her to be.
She was young when the battle happened. And though it did not effect her or her family directly, being several lightyears away from Earth and, well, Kom couldn't really care less what had gone on down there, it did seem to be a factor in the life of someone who she would one day grow fond of. Without that battle, they never would have met, after all. But that doesn't quite matter at the moment, now does it. While earth was fighting for it's survival, Luci was trying to best her brother. Which never really worked out. There was a small influx of people who were living on Rann after the war. Political refuges who had tried to get away from the war and the like. On occasion, when they were seemingly disregarding the Queen's rule, these refuges would find their way into Luci and Mork's training arena. And, well, that never really ended well.
Luci was about fourteen the first time it happened. The first time the stresses of battle had caused her to completely black out. She had been training with her father, Zorni'r and, well, Zor was beating her pretty badly. Her lip was busted, her left eye barely able to remain open from the blood and cuts on the lid. She wasn't looking to pretty. And then something in side of her snapped. She doesn't quite remember what happened right after that. Everything had turned red and then, soon, black. The next thing she really remembers is coming to while hovering over the mangled body of her father. She was glowing with the psionic energy that made up her starbolts, that faint purplish color all around her. There were small glowing orbs around her hands, as if she was ready to blast another bolt at someone. And she remembered that, for the first few seconds that she was back with the land of the living, she felt a bitter rage in her chest. But that rage soon died away as she started to fall back to the ground. That rage was soon replaced with this sensation of utter disgust and confusion Had she done this? Had she killed her own father? Her energies died away and she looked at her hands. Blood stained them. She was staring blankly at them before her eyes went back to her father. What had she done?
Her confusion was only furthered when Komand'r had found out. Luci had been prepared for the worst. Possible exile or execution. But, instead, for the first time since birth, her mother had actually hugged her. Yes, hugged her. Her mother was proud of her. She had killed someone, and not just anyone but someone important to her. If she could kill her father, then she could kill anyone, yes? From then on, Kom took personal interest in what Luci did, including her training. What Luci didn't know was that she was becoming her mother's little puppet. She was being used for such things as political exploits and taking care of criminals within her boundaries. She was sent away on trips to try and talk with other planet heads and the like. And while she felt it was because her mother had trust in her, it was more so because her mother wanted her daughter away from her. Because for all the pride she had felt for maybe a moment, she was able to see the disgust and self terror in her daughter's eyes. No daughter of hers could actually be like that.
The next three years were spent like this. Being sent to do this and that while it was Mork who was being trained to take over for his mother. He was the pride and joy. The one that would rule the way Kom wanted. And while Luci was out, Mork was also setting up trails to lead to the framing of his sister for his mother. For they wanted Luci to take the fall if things went wrong, if she couldn't usurp her power back on Tamaran. When she was seventeen, Mork seemingly disappeared. Her mother said that he had been sent to Earth for a mission and Luci accepted that knowledge as if it were the truth. However, after six human months without what seemed to be a word from him, Kom had told Luci that she was needed to go and find him. At first, she had contemplated making Luci fly there on her own. But Rann had such beautiful technology. Including something called the Zeta Beam. With it, Luciand'r was teleported onto Earth with ease, Komand'r having given her all the information and forged paperworks she would ever need.
Taking on the name of Lucinda Cameron Anders, she is currently what is thought of as a political refuge on Earth, simply looking for the Lost Prince. But that hasn't stopped Darkfire from creating trouble and havoc in order to try and get the job done. What she doesn't know, though, is that this whole time, her brother has been on Tamaran, stuck into their troops in order to get close to their Aunt and kill them. And if all goes according to plan, it was Luci who would take the fall for it all. Poor girl, all she wants to do is be in good favors with her mother. She doesn't quite deserve all the horrible things that they had planned for her.

RP Sample:
For the first time in what had been many years, Princess Luciand'r of Tamaran felt an emotion known as fear. It wasn't something that she knew how to deal with all that well. Something she thought to be useless, a ridiculous thing that only made it harder to get ones job done. She couldn't even remember the last time she had felt it. It was more than likely sometime while she was with her Mother. The only woman to ever scare her.
Until now.
Lucy was frantic, a small bag on her back holding maybe an outfit or two and a small bit of provisions. In her arms she held the form of a small black and white, fluffy furred kitten. X'Hal was curled up in her arms, fast asleep, unaware of what was happening at the moment. The cat was happy, in a world of bliss being held close to it's mistress. It didn't even realize the world of trouble that they were in. That it's mistress was in. She didn't even know what she did, what was going on. Why were they chasing her? Komand'r had assured her that she wouldn't be followed, that they wouldn't come after her. Mummy would hold them off so that Lucy could fulfill her mission. So why was it that she was being chased?
Her fear mixing in deep with her anxiety made her heart race. She could have been flying at this second, were she not too scared of drawing too much attention to herself. So she ran. Ran as fast as she could under the moon that was slowly rising over head. She needed to find someone, someone to get her out of here. To get the crazed Tamaranean Officers off her trail. But who?
Glancing behind her shoulder, she made sure that she had lost them, at least for now. When none seemed to be in sight, she slowed her pace, taking deep breathes to calm her heart down and started searching the crowds for someone who she could look natural with, someone who could at least appear as strong enough to help her but around her age so that people wouldn't give them a second glance.
Her green eyes landed on a man who appeared to be on the other side of the street, where there was far less people walking about. Somewhat tall, blonde, maybe a little older than her. She shifted the hold she had on X'Hal so that the cat was in the crook of her left arm as she quickly headed across the street. She walked behind the man for several minutes before quickening her pace and coming up beside him, slipping an arm through his to link them, trying to seem as natural as possible. Eyes frantic, she looked around to make sure she didn't see any of them before putting her attention on the blonde. "You are going to do as I say. You will get us to a car, open the door for me and let me in. Then you are going to drive me for as long and as far as I stay. Failure to do so will create dire consequences." As she said the last part, she let her eyes start to glow their eerie purple. "Understood?"

Equipment and Weapons:
Tamaranean Armor: Armour given to her by her mother, Komand'r, it fits perfectly to her body. When she doesn't quite need it, it appears to be nothing more than maybe metallic underwear but, when danger is near or she feels she needs it, there is a small button of sorts that she can trigger to make the armor change. Well, not so much as change rather than extends protective plates down and around most of her more bare skin, including her feet. Her armor, like her starbolts and 'aura', is purple in color, darker, nearing an almost black with a purple sheen in light.
Pan-Galactic 'Communication' Gauntlet: Gauntlets that her armor can attach to when it goes into it's full body setting. Gauntlets that Luciand'r was told were 'bought' specifically for her use in her up and coming Earth-bound mission, they were stolen from Tamaran by her brother and given to her mother. The gauntlets, thought to be broken, are supposed to be able to aid in the communication across the galaxy so that Lucy is able to report to her mother about the status of her mission. Sadly, they never really did work too well even when she first got them and aren't much in the way of protection either. So, generally, they sit in the bottom of her travel bag, though she does try tinkering with them every so often in order to try and get in touch with her mother. What Lucy doesn't quite realize, though, is that the gauntlet were never really meant for her to communicate They are, more so, a way for Komand'r to keep close tabs on her wretch of a daughter. Bugged so that, when Komand'r wants, she can listen in, and a chip in them that allows her to actually pinpoint Lucy's location if she ever needs to.
X'Hal: A little black and white kitten she pretty much adopted from the street. For some odd reason, she felt something of a connection with the little critter and couldn't just leave it out on the streets to die so she gave it a name and has treated it like her own child ever since, generally carrying her around and spoiling her when she can.
Powers:
Linguistic Assimilation: Omnilinguism, as she likes to think of it, is the ability to quickly learn other languages just by hearing a little of it spoken or through touch. The simplest touch to the bare skin, no matter where it is, is all that is needed. It's very useful when needing to travel to different countries and having to speak with people of varying dialects. Though it only takes a touch to learn a language or understand it, the easiest, and quickest way for her to assimilate languages is through a kiss. It doesn't quite work with babies and younger people who don't have as much of an understanding on the language they will someday speak fluently. On the other hand, alien languages take a little more time to take effect but it's pretty much the same principle as the earthly languages. It would seem odd, that an alien has a harder time assimilating other alien languages but earthly ones are simple. And it's because of that reason exactly that they don't take as long. Earthly languages are far simpler than most other languages out in the galaxy.
Self-Sustainability via Solar Absorption: Tamaraneans do not actually need to eat or drink anything in order to survive, nor do they need to sleep to rejuvenate themselves and maintain their strengths. Even breathing isn't exactly a necessity for them, which is ideal when traveling through space outside of ships. So long as they absorb enough uv energy put off by the sun's solar rays, they are right as rain. The absorption of uv energy can keep a Tamaranean running smoothly for as long as it needs to. It also helps to power them and allows them to use their 'starbolts' and fly as well as help with their strength and durability. Though don't get me wrong, it takes more than just solar energy. It's also a mix of emotions and belief in themselves and their powers that keeps their powers working.
Flight: There isn't much needed in the explanation of 'flying'. It is simply just that, the ability to take flight, though without the assistance of additional appendages such as wings of some sort. Her flight is made possible through the same means as her starbolt energy. It is believed that all a Tamaranean has to do is have enough faith in their ability and it will happen, much like their energy power. When in flight, there is generally an energy trail left behind that is similar to the energy left by the use of starbolts. For Lucinda, that energy is a light violet color. It hasn't been exactly figured out just how fast she can actually fly, having never really used the fullest of her potential by any means necessary. But, the fastest she has gone, have been close to hypersonic speeds, maybe even faster. After all, traveling through space, one needs to be going quite fast.
Inter-Galactic Travel: This is a power that, quite honestly has no real limits nor does it need much explanation. She is able to travel at hypersonic speeds through the vacuums of space with ease. Her speeds out there are far faster than her speeds on any gravity stricken planet and she can easily travel from on galaxy to another in literally no time at all.
'Starbolt' Energy Projection: A psionic based energy that can be emitted from various places, such as directed from beams from her eyes or hands and is also often emitted off of her body in less harmful ways. While these energies can't make hard constructs, they can be used to seemingly telekinetically lift objects of several tons. However, concentrating on carrying objects with her 'starbolt' energy takes up far more energy than simply firing the bolts at people. And the bigger the object, the less time she can actually carry it, especially on planets with higher gravitational fields. It honestly takes less energy to just pick things up by hand. However, using her violet energy to carry things does have an advantage, at least to people not herself. It can help her make others seemingly fly, though it's easier to use to throw people. Or fire high velocity energy blasts at people.
Superhuman Durability: Tamaraneans are known to be extremely durable to most things. Almost to the point of invulnerability. Almost. However, they are not really invulnerable and the less solar energy they can soak up, they more human they seemingly become. So really, how durable she is is all subject to change dependent on her energy levels. On average, however, in terms of projectiles and explosions, so long as she's had a sufficient amount of solar energy absorbed into her cells, she can withstand bomb detonations and even lower calibre bullets being fired at her with seemingly no damage at all. However, over time, everything wears and tears eventually.
Superhuman Strength: Tamaraneans are very much known for their strength. Aftet all, they are a race if Warriors. And, like stated before, her strength varies, though it's not just because of energy stored, it also has to do with her emotional state. Her very top limits of strength are truly unknown, however, the top she knows she can reach is around ten or so tons. And it's likely she won't be able to lift more than that.
Superhuman Agility and Speed: Lucy is exceedingly agile, usually able to move fast enough to evade most hits that are thrown her way. Her agility and speed stem from both her flight, her training, and, of course, her alien physiology. She is able to run at speeds most normal cars can't reach, though she is by far no where near as fast as a speedster, at least not on the ground. Besides, she's usually not running on the ground, anyway. But, on the ground, she usually can top out at nearly one hundred and twenty miles per hour. At least, that's the fastest she's ever run.
Superhuman Stamina: Being that she is self sustaining, so long as she has absorbed a sufficient amount of solar energy, she is able to just keep going and going without sleep, food, water, anything really. However, even she slowly wears out, especially during a fight. It's her strength that does it the most. Well, her strength and her starbolts.
Tolerance to Extreme Environments: Being not just an alien but someone who can travel through the vacuums of space without having to wear, well, anything. Yes, she could be naked and the extreme temperatures wouldn't even be felt. Hot, cold, neither of them really register and it's not that she doesn't have a sense of touch, her race is just used to the extreme environmental differences in space and on various planets.
Skills:
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: You are talking about a girl not only from a race of Warrior Aliens, but also one with a mother who had once thought to be one of the greatest warriors and a military genius. And, on top of both of those was able to take control of an entirely new planet. You really think that her children, that her daughter would be anything but a master of hand to hand combat? She doesn't need a weapon, doesn't need to know thing like 'tai chi' and 'akido' to be a seriously marvelous fighter. She was trained to use not just her powers and body but also her environment around to her advantage.
Musically Inclined: Not necessarily a useful gift, Luciand'r has always been a gifted musician. She is quick to pick up musical instruments and her voice is like an angel's, or so an earthling tried to tell her before. Even though she doesn't really know what an angel is.
Eidetic Memory: For the most part, Lucy has an eidetic memory. She simply remembers everything. Well, aside from what happens when she goes into one of her trance-like blackouts. This is always useful when she's trying to learn various things and 'fit in' on earth. However, with everything she remembers and picks up, she also is just as likely to mix things up. It's not so much that she has ever forgotten something, she just has a knack for confusing her memories and various events, etc.
Marvelous Actress: Being raised by someone who is seemingly a master of manipulation, Lucy was pretty much raised to be an 'actress' of sorts, to be able to get into any role she is given to play from the sweet little innocent to the twisted and malevolent warrior. And that's probably one of Lucy's problems. She was taught to be this actress, such a great one at that, that she doesn't always know where the act ends and who she really is begins.
Adaptive Combat Skills: While she isn't one to use weapons in battle, she was always taught to adapt to her surroundings and, when she needs to, adapt her style to try and be the 'top dog' in a fight. Even if she has to use whatever passes as a weapon in the area to do so. From a knife to a trash can lid.
Excellent in Flight Maneuvering: She has been raised to be able to maneuver in flight, no matter how fast she goes with precision and ease. Flight techniques most plane utilize are among the many things she was taught to help in evasion and to assist in an attack. Besides, what is the point of being able to fly if you can't maneuver while doing so.
Multilingual: Let us be honest. She is able to assimilate any language through a simple touch or kiss, so listing all the languages she can speak isn't exactly the easiest, she can speak several alien languages from kree, tamaranean, to rannian to quite a few earthly ones like english, spanish, and italian. The number of languages is honestly unknown but, it wouldn't even matter if she couldn't speak it as she could easily assimilate it.
Weaknesses:
1.) What are all of these things? Curiosity is something that plagues Lucy and has always been something that her mother found to be a rather ridiculous thing to come from her daughter, to the point that she found it to be her biggest weakness. And, to a certain extent, it is. Her curious nature makes her ask a lot of questions, sometimes at inopportune times. There is so much out there that piques her interest yet, having lived a sheltered sort of life, she hasn't had the chance to truly indulge in that curiosity. And, being that this is her first time really on her own, that curiosity is going to finally get the chance to run rampant, something that could lead to more trouble than it's worth.
2.) Yes mother, whatever you say While she occasionally has doubts in what her mother says, teaches her, and true intentions, Lucy has a somewhat blind loyalty to the woman. Her doubts she keeps mostly internalized, not wanting to lose trust from her mother. And even when she doubts that what her mother is ordering her to do, she will still follow and listen, wanting to trust her mother with all her heart. Even now, with a small part of her knowing that her mother has set her up to take a fall worse than death, she refuses to truly let herself believe it as she has too much blind faith in her mother. If her mother asked her to sacrifice herself, she likely would, thinking it was for good reason, even if, in the end, her mother really doesn't care one bit for the girl.
3.) What do you mean someone is 'pulling my strings'? Luciand'r is manipulated very easily. She is young and naive and that can be used against her if done correctly. Though, out of all who seem to know her, her mother pulls her proverbial strings the most. She has pretty much perfectly orchestrated Lucy's entire life, right down to the point in which she was imprisoned. Everything is by Komand'r's grand design and Lucy doesn't even know it. And if others could ever see how easy it was to manipulate her, more than likely through her mother, she could be in quite a bit of trouble.
4.) They are all vile little creatures Luciand'r is a terrible racist. Now, i don't meam by the way people think of them today in this society, by ethnicity and the like. No, Lucy's racism can borderline on xenophobia, the fear of alien lifeforms. I know what you're thinking, she's an alien, is she afraid of herself? No. To her, everyone else is an alien that is not Tamaranean and, while she does not actually fear them, she does show immense feelings of disgust and almost hatred for other races, thinking them vile and inferiot due to her upbringing. However, there are sometimes excepts, such as the furry animal life of earth like cats and the like. This disgust she shows, the way she thinks that these creatures are inferior, can lead to her underestimating them, and that is just another thing that can spell out trouble for her.
5.) You wouldn't like me when I am angry Tamaraneans have always been known to be fueled by their emotions. The stronger their emotions, the more power behind their attacks. And being someone that gives into her feelings of anger the most, her attacks can be dangerous to others. However, her emotional state also tends to be very unstable, fluxuating like that of a teenage girl's would. It may be hard to think of her as such at times, but that doesn't make it any less of a fact that she is simply a teenage girl with emotions that can be frenzied, which can cause her powers to sometimes unstable, unpredictable, or even seemingly unusable.
6.) Someone give me light Aside from emotions, the strength of a Tamaranean also comes from the absorption of the sun's UV rays. While it can be stored in her cells for so long, being deprived of the UV radiation can have a devastating effect on her, stripping her of her powers, making her feel weak, and even make her feel she is suffocating at times as, because of her self-sustainability via solar absorption, she isn't used to having a need to breathe.
7.) I do not quite understand Everything on Earth is so confusing to her. She doesn't understand the simplest of phrases and she had lived such a sheltered life priorly that a lot of things just fly right over her head. Because of this, she is known to get very confused by, well, almost everything on Earth. Sure, she is slowly learning, but Earth is vast and complex, not as simple to understand as punching people through walls and the arts of war.
8.) Age before Beauty Luciand'r, despite her somewhat older appearance, is only seventeen. Not only that, but she lived a very sheltered life, so while young, she hasn't really lived much of it. She has her youth and with that youth comes an almost child-like naivity and, to an extent, innocence that she doesn't quite see or understand. I use the term innocence very lightly as she doesn't really seem the innocent type when you break away her supposed façade. She believes things easily and can't tell the difference between fact and fiction at times as she trusts what she hears on the television more than she really ought to. With youth comes a somewhat lack of experience in the real world outside of her real home.
9.) I wake up with blood on my hands Luciand'r suffers from blackouts, generally in battle, where she sees red and does things that she doesn't always seem like she would actually do. Things tend to go very bad during these times and she doesn't quite know why it happens, furthermore, while she won't let it show, these blackouts terrify her as she doesn't always want to hurt people, she simply does as her mother wants her to do. However when she goes into her Battle Trance, logic, innocence, and restraint melt away. Were she to get hurt during her battle trance, she wouldn't have a clue how it happened. These trances are a scary thing for her and a terrible weakness as she can lose hours, days, even weeks of her life to them.
10.) All I see is death around me When she sleeps, she tends to dream of the people she has killed. These dreams are the only time that she believes what might have occurred during her battle trances shows through. Whether that is really the case or not is to speculation. And being of a race that doesn't need to sleep, these dreams, or nightmarea rather, are yet another terror to her. Especially when they feature how she killed her father. And, on occasion, a false memory of possibly even being the reason why her twin brother is missing.
11.) Who am I? What is probably the most terrifying amd confusing thing to her, though, is her lack of understanding who she really is. She doesn't know what personalities are her masks and which is who she truly is on the inside. Is she blood drenched warrior? The evil princess? Or the sweet and innocent girl that lies beneath it all? The girl she 'pretends' to be? Is who she thinks she is really just someone her mother programmed into an actually quite innocent and lighthearted soul? Or is she truly that dark and menacing creature she thinks she is? She is in identity crisis and it confuses her, sometimes even leaves her unable to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. It freezes her, makes her just want to hide, to curl up, wishing she knew just who she really was. The answer is harder to find than one might expect.
12.) He was from outta this world Her very first real interaction with the 'earthlings' that Komand'r had instilled in her to hate was a boy around her age named Wyatt. And, while she likely would never admit it, he could have been considered something of a weakness to her. Now, while she has an incredible disdain for most humans, he was always different and it had been nice until her mother found out. Subsequently his possible safety got used against her and, quite honestly, it still is used against her by her mother to this day.
13.) Caffeine recharges my batteries... so get me some more! A bit of a silly weakness but, every since coming to Earth, she has grown a slight addiction to caffeine. She loves it, adores it, and, quite honestly, she sometimes feels that she genuinely needs it to keep going.

THE REST
Personality:
Luciand'r was never the most simple of people to wrap your head around. Though on the outside she may show herself to be one person, it is usually a ruse, a way to gain trust and keep her enemies on their toes. What may be perceived as a feeble young girl on the outside only hides the true terror that the girl can be on the in. When she wants to be, the girl known as Lucinda is gentle and sweet, always doing her part to brighten someones day with the most charming of smiles. She plays herself as an innocent, someone who does not quite understand the dangers that could be around any number of corners in this human world. Her words and tone are often well thought out, always trying to keep some hint of mystery behind them. From what she has observed so far, people seem to like a hint of mystery, something to always keep them guessing. Her innocence isn't completely an act, though. For starters, she is still quite young, with what she hopes will be many years ahead of her. The part of the not so made up innocence comes from naivety. She knows very little of Earth, aside from few things her mother had taught her before sending her off, and is always in need of learning more and more of how things work. What people say and how they react to certain things, as well as most traditions or 'rituals' that humans take part in elude her, leaving her in a state of constant questioning. Lucy tries to hide her naivety when she is acting as what she has been, for lack of a better term, 'programmed' to believe is her true self.
While Lucinda is something of a 'mask' that the princess seems to wear, 'Darkfire' is the face in which she believes she truly is. It's what her mother has made her believe she was meant to be. Darkfire is callous, precise, and quite uncaring for the 'human condition'. There are actually very few humans that she can seemingly stand, even without wearing such masks. One of them being someone she met in space. For the most part, she's quite cold. All of her 'naivety', she likes to think she puts aside because, being a princess, she just can't have any of that, right? Even though everything still tends to confuse her, she's quite good at bs-ing it. There is doubt in her mind, though, of everything she does. But that doubt is masked behind her blind loyalty to her mother. For her mother can do no wrong. She's not afraid to kill if she has to, torture is never out of the question, and, quite honestly, she doesn't even a twinge of guilt for the crimes she commits against people. Or, well, if she does, she hides it well. She will do anything in order to make sure that her task is done and done correctly, even if, in the end, her foolishness could very well cost her her own life.
Luciand'r, yet another face, is a fierce warrior. Or she likes to believe she is. Luciand'r is, in all honesty, who she probably really is on the inside, even if she denies the truth behind it. She's an almost perfect mix of the other two sides. Sweet and charming when she needs to be, naive even. She doesn't mind interacting with people. Actually, she quite prefers it. Well, either the company of other aliens or animals. Humans are still a bit iffy, though that was kind of how she was raised. Still, whens he needs to be, she is the fierce warrior that is quite well known to flourish in Tamaranean bloodlines. She will not back down for a challenge, even if she thinks it will end horribly for her out of her own selfish prides and desires. She tries to at least seem more polite, being a political figure of sorts in the Rannian eye, taught to deal with other planets and nations so that her mother wouldn't have to. She tries to keep her anger from flaring, having small mantras she says in her head to keep from blacking out and going into her raging modes. She's not all that bad, though, not really. She's just a confused girl trapped in her own mind, never knowing which face that she puts up is the real one or the fake one.
History:
Luciand'r's story doesn't actually start with Luciand'r at all. No, rather, it begins with her mother. It has always been known that, though Komand'r seems to be the queen that Tamaran very well deserves, it is not the one that it could ever have. The fierce warrior princess who's strategies for battle are thorough and nigh perfect could easily be said to be a bit too violent and even jealous of her sister, Koriand'r. But Komand'r's jealousy was best shown when, after her sister had wed and become queen of Tamaran, she tried to murder her in cold blood to take the throne for herself. For her crimes, she was originally sentenced to death. However, Koriand'r couldn't really seem to allow for such a thing. Because, despite all the terribleness and evil that seemed to resonate through her sister's very heart, she still believed that there was some form of good. So, rather than death, she gave her sister one last chance. But that chance would not be on Tamaran. That chance would never be on Tamaran, actually. No, she exiled her sister. What she hadn't really counted on was the small army that followed Komand'r away, among them being a Tamaranean named Zorni'r who, while he'd once been a part of the Queen's Guard, had always had a secret fondness for Kom instead.
With no real home, no place to go, Komand'r had taken her followers and traversed space for a good year or so, jumping from place to place as she tried to figure out what her next move should be. Until it hit her. That next move, the one she should make seemed all too obvious. The fools of Tamaran, exiling her rather than killing her when they had the chance. The opportunity for an all new war was brilliant. And she knew just the place: Rann. The conflicts between Rann and other planets priorly, including Tamaran, made it almost the perfect place. Add onto that the fact that Rannian's were much more like humans in their capabilities, save for a much higher intelligence and much better technology. They were also a race that was obviously slow deteriorating due to it's diluted gene pool. Brilliant as they might be, they wouldn't be able to last all that much longer without assistance. Seeing their weakness and the usefulness of such a scientific and technologically advanced planet, Kom took action. It was far easier to take over than she had thought and, soon, she was unanimously declared Rann's Queen, after a bit of convincing, with Zorni'r as her royal consort.
Together, the two of them could make an army, make a world that Kom could use to take back her rightful place on the Tamaranean throne. What she hadn't counted on was actually becoming pregnant with her Consort's children. Still, the usefulness of having heir's of her own far outweighed the repercussions of such a feat so, while it had been considered, she had gone through with the pregnancy. What she had originally expected to be only one child, she ended up having two: twins that she named Luciand'r and Morkand'r. And while they held the royal blood of Tamaran in their veins, they were not quite known as the Tamaranean Prince and Princess. Rather, they would be the heir's to the throne of Rann and, perhaps someday, they will also take back the throne that should rightfully be theirs.
One can only imagine the kind of life that any child of Komand'r would live. From a young age, Luci and Mork were trained up like the warriors that their bloodline were known for. Hand to hand combat, flight maneuvering (though that was something that Kom had trouble teaching due to the sickness that had taken from her most of her ability to fly. It was more so Zorni'r's job to teach that), starbolt creation and use in battle, war strategy, and, above all, political awareness. Training was often tedious but Luci grew to love it as it was really the only time that she got to spend with her parents. Mork was always better than her in everything she did, however. Every time they fought, Mork often won due to Luci's reluctance to want to bring her family harm. You see, Luci was odd, at least in her family. Where Mork seemed to have his mother's total disregard for anyone but himself, Luci still had a conscience. One that she had to beat down more often than not in order to try and be what her mother wanted her to be.
She was young when the battle happened. And though it did not effect her or her family directly, being several lightyears away from Earth and, well, Kom couldn't really care less what had gone on down there, it did seem to be a factor in the life of someone who she would one day grow fond of. Without that battle, they never would have met, after all. But that doesn't quite matter at the moment, now does it. While earth was fighting for it's survival, Luci was trying to best her brother. Which never really worked out. There was a small influx of people who were living on Rann after the war. Political refuges who had tried to get away from the war and the like. On occasion, when they were seemingly disregarding the Queen's rule, these refuges would find their way into Luci and Mork's training arena. And, well, that never really ended well.
Luci was about fourteen the first time it happened. The first time the stresses of battle had caused her to completely black out. She had been training with her father, Zorni'r and, well, Zor was beating her pretty badly. Her lip was busted, her left eye barely able to remain open from the blood and cuts on the lid. She wasn't looking to pretty. And then something in side of her snapped. She doesn't quite remember what happened right after that. Everything had turned red and then, soon, black. The next thing she really remembers is coming to while hovering over the mangled body of her father. She was glowing with the psionic energy that made up her starbolts, that faint purplish color all around her. There were small glowing orbs around her hands, as if she was ready to blast another bolt at someone. And she remembered that, for the first few seconds that she was back with the land of the living, she felt a bitter rage in her chest. But that rage soon died away as she started to fall back to the ground. That rage was soon replaced with this sensation of utter disgust and confusion Had she done this? Had she killed her own father? Her energies died away and she looked at her hands. Blood stained them. She was staring blankly at them before her eyes went back to her father. What had she done?
Her confusion was only furthered when Komand'r had found out. Luci had been prepared for the worst. Possible exile or execution. But, instead, for the first time since birth, her mother had actually hugged her. Yes, hugged her. Her mother was proud of her. She had killed someone, and not just anyone but someone important to her. If she could kill her father, then she could kill anyone, yes? From then on, Kom took personal interest in what Luci did, including her training. What Luci didn't know was that she was becoming her mother's little puppet. She was being used for such things as political exploits and taking care of criminals within her boundaries. She was sent away on trips to try and talk with other planet heads and the like. And while she felt it was because her mother had trust in her, it was more so because her mother wanted her daughter away from her. Because for all the pride she had felt for maybe a moment, she was able to see the disgust and self terror in her daughter's eyes. No daughter of hers could actually be like that.
The next three years were spent like this. Being sent to do this and that while it was Mork who was being trained to take over for his mother. He was the pride and joy. The one that would rule the way Kom wanted. And while Luci was out, Mork was also setting up trails to lead to the framing of his sister for his mother. For they wanted Luci to take the fall if things went wrong, if she couldn't usurp her power back on Tamaran. When she was seventeen, Mork seemingly disappeared. Her mother said that he had been sent to Earth for a mission and Luci accepted that knowledge as if it were the truth. However, after six human months without what seemed to be a word from him, Kom had told Luci that she was needed to go and find him. At first, she had contemplated making Luci fly there on her own. But Rann had such beautiful technology. Including something called the Zeta Beam. With it, Luciand'r was teleported onto Earth with ease, Komand'r having given her all the information and forged paperworks she would ever need.
Taking on the name of Lucinda Cameron Anders, she is currently what is thought of as a political refuge on Earth, simply looking for the Lost Prince. But that hasn't stopped Darkfire from creating trouble and havoc in order to try and get the job done. What she doesn't know, though, is that this whole time, her brother has been on Tamaran, stuck into their troops in order to get close to their Aunt and kill them. And if all goes according to plan, it was Luci who would take the fall for it all. Poor girl, all she wants to do is be in good favors with her mother. She doesn't quite deserve all the horrible things that they had planned for her.

RP Sample:
For the first time in what had been many years, Princess Luciand'r of Tamaran felt an emotion known as fear. It wasn't something that she knew how to deal with all that well. Something she thought to be useless, a ridiculous thing that only made it harder to get ones job done. She couldn't even remember the last time she had felt it. It was more than likely sometime while she was with her Mother. The only woman to ever scare her.
Until now.
Lucy was frantic, a small bag on her back holding maybe an outfit or two and a small bit of provisions. In her arms she held the form of a small black and white, fluffy furred kitten. X'Hal was curled up in her arms, fast asleep, unaware of what was happening at the moment. The cat was happy, in a world of bliss being held close to it's mistress. It didn't even realize the world of trouble that they were in. That it's mistress was in. She didn't even know what she did, what was going on. Why were they chasing her? Komand'r had assured her that she wouldn't be followed, that they wouldn't come after her. Mummy would hold them off so that Lucy could fulfill her mission. So why was it that she was being chased?
Her fear mixing in deep with her anxiety made her heart race. She could have been flying at this second, were she not too scared of drawing too much attention to herself. So she ran. Ran as fast as she could under the moon that was slowly rising over head. She needed to find someone, someone to get her out of here. To get the crazed Tamaranean Officers off her trail. But who?
Glancing behind her shoulder, she made sure that she had lost them, at least for now. When none seemed to be in sight, she slowed her pace, taking deep breathes to calm her heart down and started searching the crowds for someone who she could look natural with, someone who could at least appear as strong enough to help her but around her age so that people wouldn't give them a second glance.
Her green eyes landed on a man who appeared to be on the other side of the street, where there was far less people walking about. Somewhat tall, blonde, maybe a little older than her. She shifted the hold she had on X'Hal so that the cat was in the crook of her left arm as she quickly headed across the street. She walked behind the man for several minutes before quickening her pace and coming up beside him, slipping an arm through his to link them, trying to seem as natural as possible. Eyes frantic, she looked around to make sure she didn't see any of them before putting her attention on the blonde. "You are going to do as I say. You will get us to a car, open the door for me and let me in. Then you are going to drive me for as long and as far as I stay. Failure to do so will create dire consequences." As she said the last part, she let her eyes start to glow their eerie purple. "Understood?"
