Septima Aquillius

Septima Aquillius, better known by historians as The Avenging Daughter, is the Seraph of the 11th Legion, the Recognizers.

Septima was born on the planet of Reilash where she was adopted by a local governor named Vopisca Aquillius. She holds integrity, compassion and heroism in the highest regards, a strong belief of kinship and persevering numerous dangers together as one unified force. For Septima, it is essential to approach others with an open mind, making alliances whenever possible.

Septima was later mortally wounded and killed by her sister Volusa Maelius, and was resurrected on her 563rd birthday, instilling fear and confusion into the Republic’s enemies.

The only thing they fear more than anything else is her, and for a very good reason. She is a mighty being matched only by Enarath Herself, for Septima Aquillius carries the very sword Enarath once held.

Legend says that Septima is the only Seraph that was not corrupted by the Ethereal Dominion, for Enarath provided a special gemstone to ward off Ethereal corruption. This gemstone is set atop on her forehead, resonating with her mother’s energy.

Description
Septima Aquillius is a female Tercrotan, standing at 11’” tall and weighing 1,250 pounds. She has orange scales with a tan underbelly. As with all Tercrotans, she has a serpentine head with a cobra hood which extends outward. A gemstone is embedded onto Septima’s forehead, which has been there since birth. This gemstone has a lightning blue hue which matches her eye color. Some believe this is the source of her power.

Septima’s eyes glow a lightning blue color, and her pupils are brighter than the iris or sclera. In the event Septima uses any of her abilities, her eyes will glow brighter.

Septima’s body is slim and holds a curved hourglass figure. As with all the other Seraphim, Septima possesses a pair of angelic wings, which enables her to fly. Septima navigates with a large tail measuring at least six feet eleven inches long. This tail is incredibly powerful enough to crush metal objects or humanoids in several blows.

Septima’s armor and weapons are colored in the corresponding colors matching the Recognizers color scheme, azure with orange trim. On both pauldrons is a “V” symbol.

Personality
Septima is charismatic and courageous, holding courage and honor in the highest regard. However, she also places integrity, compassion and heroism as her first priority. She enjoys telling stories to children about kinship and persevering against numerous dangers together as one unified force.

Septima believes that in order to survive in a destabilizing galaxy, it is essential to approach other nations with an open mind, making alliances whenever possible. To Septima, strength in numbers is a requirement.

However, Septima Aquillius holds a deep grudge towards her prodigal sister Volusa Maelius, forging a deep rivalry with one another. Because of the atrocities committed by Volusa, Septima has developed a vengeful fixation on her former sister.

Septima was also agonized by the crippling of Enarath on the Cobalt Throne during the climax of the Apostolic War in 2435. Unable to forgive the actions of Volusa, Septima has embarked on a quest for vengeance against Volusa the Despoiler and her traitorous kin to end the Heresy for good.

Equipment

 * Avenger’s Armor: The Avenger’s Armor is a heavily modified suit of Paladin armor made by the Techno-Priests of Tercrota, designed to fit Aquillius. Equipped with the Carapace Plating underneath, this modified Paladin armor protects Septima from even the most devastating of blows. The armor has built-in Archmage Gauntlets which allow to control her psionic abilities in combat.
 * Enarath’s Aegis: The famed sword wielded by Enarath Herself. A master-crafted Fusion Blade created by hands not of Tercrotan works, the sword appropriately named Enarath’s Aegis is lit from hilt to blade with leaping arcs of psionic lightning. Septima Aquillius inherited the sword after Enarath’s fall in the climax of the Heresy. Touched by Her psionic might, it can cut through armor with ease.
 * Avenger’s Hand: A modified Aquillius-pattern plasma carbine built by Septima Aquillius herself, appropriately named the Avenger’s Hand for the matters it had settled in the Crusade. This carbine fires modified plasma projectiles that explode on contact with the target. It has a variety of attachments installed, including an Illuminator Gunsight, Reflex Grip, Impact Frame, and Plasma Stellerator.
 * Tercrotium Halo: The Tercrotium Halo is a device specifically designed for Septima Aquillius and her Avenger’s Armor. This device generates a protective barrier to protect her from incoming gunfire. However, it does not protect her against energy weapons capable of disrupting the barrier with electromagnetic projectiles.

Psionic Abilities
Septima has a large array of psionic abilities at her disposal when she needs them most; the most powerful of which are only used as a last resort. Her abilities are controlled by her Archmage Gauntlets built into her armor.

Her most well-known ability is Static Burst. As the name suggests, Static Burst allows Septima to release a sudden burst of electrostatic energy which can damage anything in close proximity. Technology in the burst’s area of effect will be temporarily disabled or jammed.

Another of her known abilities is Enarath’s Fury. Once Septima raises Enarath’s Aegis in the air, lightning strikes near her vicinity, damaging or killing all who dare to stand too close.

Drainage is another one of her abilities, which allow Septima to absorb electricity or psionic energy. However, Septima must be careful not to absorb too much energy, or it will cause a psionic overload.

Levitation is one of her rare abilities, which costs a lot of strength and energy to pull off. She surrounds herself or her allies in a bubble of magnetic force before being moved to another location. She can only travel short distances, so this ability is heavily limited depending on the distance.

There is an unknown ability which Septima hasn’t been able to explain, let alone achieve the conditions to use this ability. This ability is currently unknown and has gained attention by the Inquisition for a number of reasons.
