#heir of the stars (proxima)

[littlest-centaurii]

Riveting conversations I have with my elders.

Antares - @godslush

[littlest-centaurii]

The stranger didn't seem to take notice of anyone else, distracted on absorbing the view before them.

The sunlight gleaming and reflecting off of their mauve colour scheme, coupled with their hair flowing gracefully. Their design in question seemed to stand out more and more, not very typical of most robot masters. They had odd, inkish blue tears coming down their eyes.

The blades of the windmills spun at a moderate rate, as the air that cut through them breezed calmly. The dried vegetation at the base of the turbines swayed, as it was a peaceful day.

Nearby, a lone robot of peculiar design and origin stood atop a hill, overlooking the windmills, their expression thoughtful. Usually, they'd find better company at more densely populated areas but...there was something calm, being alone, and basking in the comfortable silence.

@littlest-centaurii

The hills were alive and green and rather steep. They had plateaus between the incline where Desired Path's were made leading to the windmills firmly planted up on the hills. A few light clouds floated through the sky, matching the same white as the mills. The edge of the woods lays across the hills like a quilted blanket laid on top.

Within the shadow of the trees is Horn. He was making his way up from within the trees and stopped when he saw someone here. They looked different from most other robot masters he's seen. They're super small too! What're they doing? He stays in the shade to watch for a bit.

hiii meet my baby, they're a stardroids oc

Name: Proxima Centauri [Proxima/Prox will suffice]

SRN-010

Good Point: Kind

Bad Point: Not willing to kill, Random self combustion

Like: Exploring

Dislike: Hurting others

Pronouns: They/Them

Special Weapon is the Nebula Chain. It’s a special fiery whip that’s capable of cutting through any material, and grabbing at impressively large distances, as far as Proxima can see that is. However, there are limitations; It can’t grab objects out of sight or somewhere that’s blocked from view, and if it’s in other modes, it cannot grab items without leaving some sort of residual damage on it, i.e if Proxima is in their fire mode, there will be burn marks if they attempted to grab items with their whip.

They're based off the real star of the same name, their weakness is Saturn's weapon, Black Hole. (In the Damage Chart, it'd be around 3 points worth of damage.) Deep Digger stuns them only if they're in Spark Mode.

The dial on their chest can switch, which can reveal their 3 modes;

- Nova Mode: Prox now has the Nova Weapon's energy coursing through their core, making them a walking dwarf star. Can leave massive heat damage, explosions, and kickstart a spin dash similar to Sunstar's, but smaller and a bit faster. Whips will leave residual burn damage.

- Spark Mode: Prox now has the Spark Chaser's coursing through their core, making them able to disperse electricity like Terra. Devastating against larger groups of enemies, and can be used to gain speed boost. Whips will leave residual electrical damage.

- Neutral Mode: Prox's preferred mode. No extra energy is coursing through them. No residual damage left by the whips either.

Height is 4’9 (144.78 cm).

Additional Info:

Created as an experimental fusion weapon, and to be the 'heir' of the Stardroids.

Generally a happy-go-lucky Stardroid, who likes to be friendly. They don't like to hurt anyone, or agree with Stardroid's ideals of planetary conquest, which puts them at odds with Sunstar and Terra.

Fascinated with Earth, humans, and all the robots in it. Will try their best to befriend any DLN/DWN/DCN they see, even if they all will understandably, be wary about Proxima.

A bit sensitive, a very big people pleaser, and sometimes will have existential crisis about their status as an 'heir' and being an 'experimental weapon'. Resents their lack of jaw (meaning they can't open their mouth/grin, etc. but smiling and frowning is still possible) and pupils, which was a purposeful design detail- to make them more intimidating.

While they all like the Stardroids fine, and generally gets along with them fine, their favourites are Mercury, Pluto, Jupiter. They consider the Stardroids as uncles and Sunstar and Terra as fathers.

Created before the events of Megaman V, and is currently the youngest Stardroid- about 170-200 years.

12 Knights (WIP)

Summary: Han has been chosen to be one of the Empire’s Elite Knights of Twelve. But it was no act of fate, instead it was all corruption and bribes so he could spy and manipulate Imperial politics. 

-- -- -- --

Han Solo stood tall and proud, or at least he attempted to do so. His uniform was brand new and too crisp and stiff. The collar and cuffs dug into his skin and the heavy jacket was tight across his chest making it hard to breathe and causing sweat to drip down his back. 

He glanced at the other candidates out of the corner of his eyes. All twelve of them stood in a straight line and he could only really see the two on either side of him. They stood motionless and looked ahead. He wanted to sigh. He wanted to scream and rip his collar open and drag his hands through his combed-back hair but he didn’t. He couldn't. 

He didn’t dare turn around but he knew Lady Proxima was in the crowd behind him watching. He was still baffled how she had managed to fool the Empire that he was worthy to become one of the twelve knights was beyond him. He was just some slum rat beggar that had been plucked out of the sewers and shined up to look like a noble. He had thought that surely somewhere along the way someone would have noticed. His pedigree would have been looked at a bit closer or his history questioned but it never came. Lady Proxima’s wallet must have run dry running this scam. 

And this was a scam. A scam to have some puppet as one of the elite Knights of Twelve. Han would be used to serve Proxima’s ends instead of the good of the Empire. 

Not that he cared about the Empire honestly. It was no less corrupt than the sewer gangs he grew up with. They just had more money and resources. In fact, he wondered how many of the other candidates were just as dirty as he was. 

He knew at least one of them was. Qi’ra. His childhood friend and sweetheart. Proxima had truthfully picked her to be the candidate, but then she was sold and Han was forced to take her spot. If the rumors were true, she had been sold to the Crimson Dawn and put her up as their own candidate. She was to become the Knight of Ruby after today’s ceremony. He only knew this by the red vest and sash she wore. Fitting for a Crimson Dawn spy. 

His own sash and vest were a deep blue for the Knight of Sapphire, a title and color he was already sick of. To his left was a young woman his age with brown skin, black hair in thick braids, and a vibrant green on her sash. He was sure her name was Sana. She was one of his bets with underworld connections.

Now to his left was someone who was the opposite of him. The girl was small and one the youngest. Leia Organa. She was going to be the Knight of Pearl. She was the one who got in based on merit and achievement. Supposedly. She was also the daughter of a regional governor. If Han could be weaseled in as a bloody Knight of Twelve then some lord could sure as hell get his daughter in it. She could be just as dirty as he was. 

The sound of trumpets caused him to jump ever so slightly. He pushed out his chin and chest and stood still as the Emperor was announced. It took a while for the old man to hobble over to his throne. In unison, the twelve candidates all fell to their knees, their right hands were balled into fists and placed over their hearts. 

“Rise,” the Emperor wheezed. 

All twelve rose. The Emperor sat on his large throne and next to him stood Darth Vader. Vader was an enigma in the Empire. He held no official rank, but the only one above him was the Emperor. It was speculated he was the Emperor’s heir as an official one had never been announced. Some wondered if the Emperor would pick one of the twelve to be the heir. Han internally scoffed at the idea. None of them deserved to be Emperor. 

“May there be glory and pride to my everlasting Emperor,” the Emperor announced. “Today a new era begins as a new generation takes their knee and swears themselves to me and the Empire.” 

He rambled on some more about the history of the knights. Something about stars and dreams and warriors with extraordinary powers that came to serve the Empire that became the first set of Twelve. Han thought of it as nothing more than a fairy tale. 

Eventually, it came time for the knighting. 

“Step forward Galen Marek, candidate for the Knight of Garnet.” 

A young man who was first in the line stepped forward. He had a muscular build with short shorn hair. He was backed by the army, which was typical for the Garnet Knight. Galen bowed gracefully to one knee and bent his head. He swore himself to the Emperor, the Emperor tapped his shoulders with a sword, and he rose as a knight. Before he returned to the line, he was given a new cape that was a deep dark red. 

Next up was Merrin Ivlev, a nightsister witch. The sisters generally weren’t welcomed by the Empire, but it was custom that one serve as the Amythest Knight. Ezra Bridger followed as the Aquamarine Knight and Mara Jade as the Jade Knight. Han watched as Leia Organa became the Pearl Knight, Sana Starros the Emerald Knight, Qi’ra Kasdan the Ruby Knight, and Cal Kestis the Topaz Knight. 

“Step forward Han Solo, candidate for the Knight of Saphhire,” the Emperor called out. 

Han walked forward and bowed in front of the throne. He only waited for three heartbeats before he began his speech.

“I, Han Solo, of the everlasting Empire of Emperor Palpatine, swear myself as the Knight of Sapphire. I promise to uphold the laws of the Empire and strive to make the Emperor proud. I will put the good of the Emperor and his Empire above all else. This I proclaim to all gathered here and to my glorious Emperor.” 

“Henceforth,” the Emperor said, “you shall be the Knight of Sapphire.” Han felt the two taps of the sword on his shoulders. “Rise, Sir Han Solo, Knight of the Twelve.” 

He stood up straight and for the first time looked the Emperor in the eyes. A chill washed down his back and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. There was something . . . wrong with those eyes. The Emperor smiled at him, and Han quickly turned around. He almost forgot to pause to have his new blue cape placed on his shoulders. 

The rest of the ceremony went on. Biggs Darklighter became the Peridot Knight, Lando Calrissian the Opal Knight, and Din Djarin the Turquoise Knight. Han took a deep breath. Finally, all twelve were knighted. He was ready to leave and return to his room in the palace. At least for a few small moments before he would be required to attend the feast and ball that was being held afterward.

“There is still one more matter to attend to,” the Emperor announced. 

Great.

“Come forward,” the Emperor said and gestured to someone behind the knights. 

Han fought his curiosity to turn around and see who it was, but he soon saw a young man walk past him. He could only really see his back, but was he wearing a knight’s uniform? He couldn’t see the front to see what color it was. The kid bowed to one knee in front of the Emperor. 

“The might of my Empire grows, and with it so do the Knights. No longer will they be an order of Twelve, but an order of Thirteen.” 

Gasps were heard not only from the audience behind him but also from a few of the knights. 

“Now swear yourself, Luke Vader, Knight of Obsidian.” 

More whispers and gasps. Even Han’s face had fallen in surprise. Vader? Han looked at the man wearing all black armor and a black mask and helmet. No one knew what Vader looked like under it as he always wore it. This kid was Vader’s? But . . . why? Why a new spot? Vader couldn’t get his son any other spot? Hell, the kid could have his spot.

But this wasn’t about the spot. There was way more to this than Han knew. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Leia tense. Yes, something had happened. He just wished he knew exactly what it was. 

“Henceforth, you shall be the Knight of Obsidian. Rise, Sir Luke Vader, Knight of the Thirteen.” 

The kid slowly rose and turned around. He was young with blonde hair and wore a black sash and vest. His eyes traveled down the entire line of the other knights, but his expression never changed. He walked down the steps, accepted his black cloak, and walked to the end of the line where he took his place.

láthi

the essentials

Q : What does Láthi mean? A : Láthi (λάθη ) means mistakes in Greek. Because I brought up the Greek Gods and Goddesses or Mythology theme, I think that Láthi fits the title of this mini-series.

Q : Why did you choose Syracuse as the setting? A : According to Wikipedia and some sources, Syracuse (Italy) is known as a city with rich Greek and Roman history. Plus, the city is on the seafront where in this story, one of the gates to Centauri is the ocean.

*

Q : How did you come up with 'Centauri' as Harry's world? A : Fun fact, 'Centauri' is from Alpha Centauri, the closest stars system and planetary system to Earth's Solar system. It's not stars anyway. This stars system consist of three stars; Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Alpha Centauri A is the brightest star in the Centaurus; one of the largest constellations. And if you noticed, I once wrote that Centauri is between the stars and the moon (láthi: the myth).

*

Q : Are you inspired by the myth of the Greek Gods and Goddesses? If so, why did you choose not to use familiar names like Hades, Persephone, Zeus, or Athena? A : I am. But, I'd like to create my own universe and play with the storylines and characters.  Greek Gods have several Gods and Goddesses with their own special powers and rule their respective territories. Meanwhile, if you have finished Lathi, you would know that Harry has all the power of the Gods in Centauri. He's the heir to the Centauri's throne, which the only Gods and Goddesses living along with Centauri people. Therefore, Centauri could be said as a kingdom.

*

Fun Facts;

Y/N's grandmother's name, Ilitia, is come from Eileithyia. The Greek Goddess of Childbirth and Midwifery. Meanwhile, the Goddess of Childbirth in Roman is Carmenta, where the name I chose as the Goddess name of her when she was still in the realm. She would go with Ilitia when she was on Earth. And also, Carmenta not only a Goddess of Childbirth. She was also the Goddess of Prophecy, that's why she knew Harry and Y/N's fate.

Selene, Harry's wife, was really a Goddess of Moon in the Greek myth. The myth said that she had an affair with mortal but not human. From that story, I wrote Selene in this mini series had an affair with human. Remember that I made she hated mortal creatures, especially human, so much? It's because she lost her power to her stupidity; seduced human and committed the sin.

Red Anemones. According to Greek mythology, this flower symbolizes death. Remember when Selene asked Y/N for the Red Anemones? (láthi: the mistake) the Goddess had planned Y/N's death before her eyes.

Y/N's dream, where she was standing in the castle (láthi: the mistake), it wasn't only a dream. It was her previous memory when she was a Goddess many many centuries ago (láthi: the secret). Someone that called her 'darling', it was her husband at that time.

The woman on the dock who was watching Y/N and Harry (láthi: the mistake), was Ilitia. By that time, she already knew that her granddaughter's life was being threatened and had to make a decision.

The sound from the ocean when Harry asked for insight (láthi: the touch), the 'she' that the ocean meant wasn't the Goddess of Birth, but Y/N. 'The lover' wasn't mean his wife, but Y/N. 'The mistake' meant his inability to choose between Selene and Y/N, ignored Selene's threats, and his negligence.

Centauri and Earth have different cycles time, if on Earth it has been a month, in Centauri it will only be a day or a few hours. Also in fact, it took a hundred years to get to Alpha Centauri from Earth. That's why I made different cycles of time between Earth and Centauri.

Harry was so shocked when Selene said that Y/N was pregnant with his child, because a God couldn't impregnate a human. And that's why he almost always did unprotect sex with Y/N.

#justforfun

[littlest-centaurii]

I figured the humans had innate curiosities about us that would love to be quenched, and you don't like it when I bring humans to the base, or well, tell them about us in general, so I figured the best way to have both parties happy is to have an ask blog! I'm just pleasantly surprised to see you here, I think!

Father! I had no idea you were running your own ask blog! I didn't think you'd be into the idea of interacting with others like this! @littlest-centaurii

Proxima.. You have the wrong idea. I am not doing this for the sake of interaction. Rather, just to have some form of distraction if need be.

And keep an eye on things of course- actually, forget that, why are you here?

[formless-monkeys]

SRMTHFG Name Origins

Mostly for fun, because im too tired to draw but I want to do something!

Chiro

Chiro’s name is obviously a slight respelling of “Ciro”, which is the name of the show’s creator.

But Chiro itself is a name (not common at all, though) a Spanish or Greek name meaning “Sacred name”

Ciro is a shortening of the Greek name Cyrus, which means “lord”, “sun”, “miserable”, or “heir”

Fun fact: Cyrus is also where Gyrus Krinkle gets his name!

Antauri

Antauri’s name is derived from Alpha Centauri, which is the closest star system to our own.

It’s technically a triple star system, but while the two larger stars are similar in size to both each other and our own sun, the third star several times smaller.

Antauri is named after the whole star system, each star has their own names.

the largest is Rigil Kentaurus

The second largest is Toliman

The smallest, the one invisible to the naked eye, is Proxima Centauri

The word Centauri comes from Centaur, the mythological creature that is half-man half-horse

Nova

Nova’s name is derived from supernova, a celestial event that occurs when a dying star collapses, but instead of becoming a black hole, the energy of the collapse heats up the remaining matter. This expands, the biggest kind of explosion we know possible.

If a supernova were to hit the Earth, we’d likely have no idea it was coming until the entire planet was vaporized.

The actual word nova means “new” in Latin, but that doesn’t have as much to do with Nova herself.

Mr. Hal Gibson

Gibson’s name has several origins, being both a first and last name.

Hal is likely a reference to HAL 9000, from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is short for Henry or Harold. Henry means “House Ruler” and Harold means “Army Ruler”

Gibson is a common English surname. In fact, it was almost in the top 100 English surnames. It means “son of Gilbert”, which is usually shortened to Gib. Gilbert can actually turn out to mean “Bright hostage”.

It’s rarely used as a first name.

SPRX-77

Sprx is a futuristic and robotic spelling of “Sparks”, a natural product of friction on metal, or electricity. There is no confirmed source on if SPRX is an acronym.

77 is a puzzle, as it could be referencing any number of things, if anything!

The periodic table element 77, Iridium, is not particularly magnetic, but it has an incredibly high melting point, is found in meteorites, and is a byproduct of electrorefining copper and nickel. 

SPRX-26 would not only sound better if you ask me, but would reference Iron, the poster child element of all magnets.

The number 7 in general is associated with good luck, and sometimes angels.

Otto

Otto derived from far too many things to count, as it is a shortening of any germanic name with the prefix, aud-

It means wealth and prosperity. By far the most common name out of any character here.

Phonetically, it sounds like Auto, as in automobile or automatic, which was likely the origin for this particular character. It fits with his mechanic trait well.

Fun fact: The world’s oldest living dog (for a period of time) was named Otto

Jinmay

Jinmay is a mashup of “Jin” and “May”

Jin has a bazillion different meanings. In Chinese it means “gold, metal, or money”. In Japanese it means “Gentle”

May also has a bazillion different related names and meanings.

So many that I don’t want to discuss every name that “May” can be short for.

Notably, the month of May is derived from the Roman Goddess, Maia. She is the Goddess of Spring.

I love the fact that Jin and May, two incredibly common names were mashed together to create a name with the same amount of popularity as Antauri. As in literally only the character shows up when you google it.

[littlest-centaurii]

Hello Proxima and all Stardroids! It’s nice to meet you. I hope you’re doing well and I was wondering. Do any of you have favorite animals from Earth?

A pleasure to meet you as well! And I am doing fine, thank you!

The others don't really particularly care that much about animals, apart from the usual suspects like Uncle Jupiter liking avians, Uncle Venus and Neptune liking crabs and fishes or even other crustaceans, Uncle Pluto with felines, etc...

But as for me, I love rabbits!

Fuse Man and I met and befriended over them! He lets me hold Watt sometimes.

[littlest-centaurii]

Do your dads or the other Stardroids have any special nicknames for you?

Most of the other Stardroids used to call me Lordling, but I discouraged them of that. I'm not a fan of royal titles.

I am called "Prox" a lot anyways, but some do have more personable nicknames for me. (Antares isn't a Stardroid, but I see her as family anyways, so.)

As for my fathers, Father doesn't call me anything, usually just my name, but as for Papa...

He tends to really like...calling me this one...

and it gets very embarassing after a while.

((Antares - @godslush ))

[littlest-centaurii]

So, how did you end up liking the earth so much when other stardroids seem to want to destroy it? Or take it over at least.

Ah.

See, what's funny is that was my entire function, my entire point of what I was created for. To be a deadly superweapon meant to turn the tides in our favor when it comes to conquest.

I was activated at the base, I never really knew the planet the other Stardroids were from, their past; anything. I feel like an outcast at times to them...

Something about that planet allured me. It was the humans, their robotic constructs, but the overall beauty and life that Earth nourishes and how I wished I had woken up in a planet like that. I've never seen this any robots before. Or meet them even! There's so much to love about the planet...

And even if I cannot befriend everyone, or even be seen as the hero, I would still look after it. That's why I try and steer the topic of complete destruction...

[littlest-centaurii]

*leans in and whispers* women

...Heh.

((Slash Girl - @godslush ))

[littlest-centaurii]

Father! Look what a human gifted me!

@stardroid-commander

[littlest-centaurii]

Hey shortstack, ain't ya supposed to be studying for one of ol' Scorpion Tits' tests or somethin'?

Probably shouldn't have read that while I'm in the temple....

(Though I have a good idea who would send such a question under the guise of secrecy...)

"Have you finished so quickly as to resort to your distractions already, Little Star? I take it a test would be more your speed."

Oh dear.

((Antares - @godslush ))

[littlest-centaurii]

Question what would you say is something you wish to do but can’t really do cause you are robot?

Definitely try out different types of foods humans and their robot counterparts indulge in. I'm not sure if you have noticed, but...

I was built without a jaw, so I cannot injest foods normally. (I do have a built in fuel tank and pipe along with, so I usually consume liquid forms of fuel instead, but it is not quite the same.)

[littlest-centaurii]

Relationship charts because this is a lot lol

SG and Antares belong to @godslush

image description isnt loading so ill put it under here.

first image:

Slash Girl and Prox are dating. Antares sees Prox as its godchild, and hence trusts and cares for them. Prox also reciprocates that, seeing they see Antares as a mentor and a parental figure.

second image:

Sunstar sees Prox as a student with great potential, and so does Terra, but he has higher expectations for Prox. Prox sees the two of them as fathers. Prox sees Mercury, Pluto and Jupiter as fun uncles, and the latter sees Prox as their partner in crime. Prox sees the other Stardroids as their uncles, and the latter gets along with them well + respects them.

third image:

Prox sees Shadow as a fellow alien, while Shadow doesn't quite trust Prox. Dr. Wily wants to study Prox, but Prox is a little apprehensive towards Wily. Slash Man doesn't trust Prox, but Prox likes him fine. Prox and Spark Man are friends.

[littlest-centaurii]

*poof* hello just wanted to drop by to say you look amazing

Oh...thank you so much!
