Sanctis: A Science Fiction Web Series
Staulwart for General Atticus Rancor
The current overseer of Haven, and a general who participated in the initial assault to reclaim Sanctis from pirates many a year ago. (He’s 79 years old.)
Rancor was an army general in the military force of Frontera, and it shows. His voice is filled with a tone that demands respect, and he tends to come off as imposing, yet disciplined and refined.
Born and raised into the military, Rancor quickly found himself a role in Frontera. Over the years of his life, he found his moral code tested, his body broken, and his spirit shattered- but nonetheless, he prevailed over and over again. At the peak of his career, he lead the assault on Haven in day’s past, his presence ultimately boosting morale to the point that the conflict ended less than a month after he joined; effectively ending a stand-still with no end in sight. He’s proud, determined, and sports a desire to achieve a brighter future that one could go so far as to call foolish.
“When the Frontera launched its assault on Sanctis, I never thought it’d lead to something like this. An entire city- filled with people chasing stars; many thinking they’ve already caught one. It’s inspiring.”
“What do you MEAN THE MISSION WAS A FAILURE!? YOU’D THINK YOU SENT A BUNCH OF DAMN CIVILIANS YOU GOT OFF THE STREET WHO THINK THEY’RE TOUGH TO DO IT AND that’s exactly what you did, didn’t you.” *Heavy sigh*
“If you’re suggesting I close Haven’s doors, then you’re preaching to the wrong choir. As Overseer of this city, I’ve made a vow to not turn a SINGLE soul away- and no amount of bribery will make me change MY MIND. SO TAKE YOUR MONEY, AND FIND SOMEONE WHO’S MORE EASILY CORRUPTED. Farewell.”
