'''Melisma Ramijozana''' is a Sebiestor industrialist and activist. She is the heir of the cadet branch of Clan Ramijozana.

===Early life===
Melisma was born to Emile Ramijozana, of Ramijozana, and Joanna Ramijozana, of Texiaco, on April 29, YC90. As she was born during sunrise, her “clan name” includes the epithet “Dawnbreaker.” She was born in her family’s ''ger'', or yurt, in [[Ramijanawa]], a small town on the clan’s ancestral lands on the steppes of [[Mikramurka]], [[Matar]], near the center of the coast and a few hours by car west of [[Sundsele]].

Emile was the cadet heir of Clan Ramijozana. (Some centuries earlier, before the Long Night, the Ramijozana hereditary line had split, with half of the tribe supporting one heir and the other half supporting the other. As a result, the line has two heirs, one who becomes clan chief and one who becomes cadet chief.) This role traditionally made him the chairman of [[Corovid Industries]], the clan’s manufacturing company and primary source of income.

Melisma was an active, curious child, eager to learn, whether through traditional schooling or exploration. She was especially attached to her father, a quiet but pleasant man who indulged Melisma’s questions and experiments.

====Beginnings of grief====
Melisma’s first brush with loss was the passing of her clan chief’s two daughters, both victims of what Ramijanawans refer to as the “slow sickness.” It is an autoimmune disease that attacks the myelin sheath of the spinal cord, causing various disabilities to a person that often last years before the body shuts down. The clan chief, Tiama Ramijozana, turned out to be a carrier of the disease, as was her husband.

Next to succumb to the slow sickness was Emile Ramijozana. His symptoms lasted for four years, rendering him blind, deaf, and unable to walk until a simple infection ended his life in the early hours of January 1, YC100. Both Joanna and Melisma were inconsolable. Joanna became markedly more reserved, and Melisma’s interest in her studies waned. Additionally, because Melisma was Emile’s only heir, control of Corovid Industries technically fell to her at that time, at nine years old. Joanna ran the company and would do so until Melisma came of age for running it, a handoff typically expected to happen at fifty years old.

Over the course of her childhood, several more of Melisma’s kin would be lost to the slow sickness, accidents, rebellion, and old age. The clan became known for its profound grief.

Genetic testing carried out ahead of her capsuleer training would confirm that Melisma is not a carrier for the slow sickness.

====Military training====

Melisma enrolled in the Republic military for mandatory service at fourteen years old. Her performance was unremarkable, and she remained in the reserves, never seeing action.

===Postsecondary learning===

After graduating from high school, Melisma attended Republic University, where she earned a bachelors and then a masters degree in cluster politics. Her roommate while living on campus was [[Tananarive Anat]], a Krusual woman. This was Melisma’s first experience away from home, and she adapted to it poorly. She spent most of her time drinking and partying, and only passed her courses due to an uncanny ability to cram efficiently.

During her baccalaureate program, Melisma, accompanied by Tananarive, took a preliminary test for capsule compatibility because the University’s capsuleer program was giving out free sandwiches that day. Both women appeared to be capsule-rated. Tiama encouraged Melisma to undergo full testing, due in part to competition from the Ronukens, the only descendants of Ramijozana kin taken during the Amarr Occupation to have returned to Ramijanawa. Having made excellent money working in the Federation for a time, the Ronukens were comparatively wealthy, and were putting all four of their children through capsuleer training. Tiama wanted to send Melisma as well, so as not to be one-upped by the freedmen. (The Ronukens and one of their daughters would shortly perish in the Battle of Mekhios, and a son had already died in training.)

Melisma made it through capsuleer training not on talent but sheer force of will. She wanted to convert Corovid Industries to an interstellar corporation and use the resources she would have as a capsuleer to return the company to profitability. Her instructors passed her after she was the first in her class to volunteer for euthanasia, and survived her first clone transfer. The favored bet had been that she would not.

===As a capsuleer===

Melisma earned her capsuleer license on September 24, YC120.

====Takeover of Corovid Industries====

====Shift in political alignment====

====Relationships====

===Lagniappe===

Melisma’s surname is pronounced “RRRA-mi-ho-ZAHN-nah,” with the R rolled and the J hushed. The town name, Ramijanawa (meaning “the seat of those in power”), is pronounced similarly. However, outsiders get it wrong so frequently that no clan member would correct it unless provoked.

Like the rest of her clan, Melisma uses the word “grief” the same way that other Sebiestor might use “spirits,” as in interjections and epithets: “Grief above and below.”

===Identity: Astaire Quatrevaux===

====Personal life and studies====

According to records, Astaire Quatrevaux was born and raised in Caille by Jenai and Micaela Quatrevaux, both Gallente. He attended the University of Caille, where he earned doctorates in neuroscience and psychology.

====Professional career====

Quatrevaux opened a clinical practice sometime around the turn of the century. In YC115, he entered capsuleer training, from which he graduated on July 8, YC121. He has no criminal record. He launched a new suite of practices under the corporate name [[Viavant]] shortly after graduating.

====Verification of records====

The documentation confirming his identity is solid and able to be verified. The only sign that something might be amiss is that, due to changing technology, some of the documents, such as his birth certificate, are formatted in ways that are too modern for being four decades old. This might be explained by the original files being corrupted.

===Identity: Ira Falconer===

====Early life====

Irawakeri "Ira" Falconer was born in the city of Moisant, on the island of the same name, on Octanneve V in Solitude in YC77. His father was Gallente and Mannar, and his mother was a descendant of Krusual slaves from the Amarr Empire.

The city of Moisant was a refuge of sorts set up by the Mannar governors of Octanneve V’s larger continents. Run by Clan Licei of the Krusual Tribe, it straddles the equator, and is one of the warmest places on the planet, with a subtropical climate. Falconer grew up on a marina owned by his mother’s family. Early on, he displayed a talent for building things. He studied engineering first, then coding. When he learned the natural sciences in school, he made a connection between the neural “circuits” of the physical body and the electrical circuits that powered his world. This paved his way into neuroscience, specifically brain implants.

His father worked in warehousing and distribution, but in secret, the work he did was for the Serpentis Corporation. He attempted to leave his position around YC86, and may have attempted to steal information or double-cross the corporation in the process. Before he could quit, he and his wife were killed in an unfortunate dropship accident. The clan chief of the Licei, Kaya Licei, suspected Serpentis and had Ira adopted by clan members living in Mylain, a city on Gallente Prime, in hopes that the corporation would not search for him there.

====Employment by Serpentis====

Falconer excelled at his studies and began college at 16 years old, enrolling at the University of Caille. There he met a woman named Drienne Bossier. They dated, fell in love, and unexpectedly created a child. Ira married Drienne several months before she gave birth to their daughter, Tessande 'Tessie' Falconer. A year later, they also had a son, Theredore. Falconer continued his studies, but his new family put him under increasing financial strain. Serpentis approached him with an offer he couldn’t refuse: a position researching and developing neural implants, with a sizable salary to match.

For over a decade, Falconer worked for Serpentis while continuing his education at Caille. Falconer earned advanced degrees in neuroscience and biology. Meanwhile, Drienne chose to become a capsuleer, entering training in YC107. Her family pledged to pay for her training, but they found out about Falconer's true employment with Serpentis, and extorted the funds from him instead. Falconer paid for all four years of Drienne's training in secret. The curriculum was fast-paced and tough on Drienne, but she passed all of her assessments up until the last one, where she was expected to self-euthanize into her first clone.

His years of work in the same position with Serpentis were beginning to disillusion Falconer, and he began searching for more legitimate work.

====Implied death====

On 8 July YC111, Falconer received a job offer and signing bonus for a position as a neurological researcher for a reputable network of health clinics in the Caille area. Several months of interviews and background checks had gone into earning the job, but he had refrained from telling Drienne about it, for fear of giving her false hope. They and their children had gone through the cycle many times before, and found disappointment each time.

Drienne arrived home first, having put off the self-euthanization for the third time. She had been issued a warning by her instructors that if she did not clone within a week, she would fail her capsuleer training. She was supposed to have picked her children, now aged 16 and 15, up from school, but did not do so for unknown reasons.

What happened when Falconer encountered Drienne at home remains unclear. Drienne suffered a fatal blaster shot to her upper chest, and Ira fled the scene, never to be seen again alive in Caille. Investigators alleged that Falconer had shot his wife, due to partials of his fingerprints being found on the blaster as well as the fact that he seemed to be in hiding, but the coroner's office suggested that the wound had been self-inflicted, albeit poorly. There were no other witnesses; Tessande Falconer was the first to come upon the scene, followed closely by EMTs who appear to have been called by Ira.

The case was never solved. Tessande and Theredore were assigned as wards of the Federation and spent their last few childhood years bouncing among Clan Licei homes.

Ten years later, a body previously identified as a John Doe would be matched with Falconer's DNA. The body had perished, along with dozens of others, in a fire at a Hueromont drug den.

====Possibilities as to actual fate====

There are strong public indications that Astaire Quatrevaux is in fact Irawakeri Falconer. Records show that several properties formerly leased or mortgaged to Falconer were held in trust by Clan Licei for a decade until they were sold to Quatrevaux. Clan Licei did have the resources to not only clone Falconer into a new body in YC111, but were also heavily involved in the booster trade at the time, and several other bodies at the Hueromont fire were tied to them, which suggests that the fire was a chance for the clan to tidy up its messes. Clan Licei also paid for Quatrevaux's schooling as he earned a doctorate in psychology as well as his capsuleer training; it is unclear what might have motivated them to do so if Quatrevaux were only a Gallente stranger to them.

Additionally, Quatrevaux has occasionally referred to himself as being from Solitude, even though records show that he was born in Caille. He was instrumental in the rescue and recovery efforts following the hurricane that devastated Moisant in September YC121.

It is also possible that Falconer escaped to Molden Heath. A data trail suggests that he resided in Heild as recently as YC119 and was connected to the Angel Cartel. If that is the case, then there is no record of his movements since that year, but that would not be altogether unexpected for someone leading such a lifestyle.

On GalNet sites and in interviews, Tessande Falconer has been vocal about her hatred for her father, whom she describes as a drug pusher and a liar. Her brother, Theredore, appears to be indifferent toward him and his fate.

===Clan identity and affiliation===

As a member of Clan Licei, Irawakeri Falconer has an elaborate identity. His name is an untranslatable Atchafalayan Krusual word describing a particular astronomical event. The word describes a sunrise or sunset where a dense cloud cover and heavy fog reduces the sun(s) to a mere pinpoint rising on the horizon, with rays of light shooting out vertically; this phenomenon might be compared to when a sharp knife is held horizontally and a dot of light reflects on the surface of the blade. Thus, the name can be roughly translated as "he who dances like the light on a knife's edge"; it is also an honorific reflecting the condition of the sky when he was born, which is of astrological significance to the Licei.

Falconer also possessed a Voluval mark on his lower left abdomen. It was a three-pointed, five-dotted symbol known as "Cemi," "Zemi," or "Spirit-Touched," depending on the clan and tribe. Typically, the mark is interpreted to indicate that the bearer is particularly attuned with the ancestral and natural spirits, and is highly favored to excel as a shaman or a clan or tribal leader. Ultimately, Falconer shunned this fate, choosing instead to study neuroscience. This was highly opposed by the clan, who appeared to blame the struggles that plotted his later life on his failure to follow the path outlined by his Voluval.

Astaire Quatrevaux, allegedly a full-blooded Gallente, has his clones marked with the Cemi on the lower left abdomen.

When the Karaya-Ya Circle was formed by Clans Licei and [[Melisma Ramijozana|Ramijozana]] in YC120, Astaire Quatrevaux was included as a founding, if junior, member. The Circle's existence is not a secret, but its operations are, and its motives are unclear. The circle's stated goals are "the preservation of [Matari] history, the freedom of all Matari, and the maintenance of peace in the cluster by any means necessary."

===Recent work===

After earning his capsuleer license, Astaire Quatrevaux reduced his client load at his mental health clinic, though he does continue to treat patients. He also manages security work for a number of clients.

Over the course of at least a decade, Quatrevaux developed a personal artificial intelligence assistant, which he refers to by the acronym MAYA. The AI appears to be a weak AI, albeit with the potential to develop into strong AI should a pattern of recursive self-improvement be allowed to develop.

Quatrevaux also participated in the charity auction held ahead of [[Khimi Harar]]'s annual Heideran VII Ball, in which he won the right to attend with [[Lyra North-Onren]] as his date. Between the auction and the ball (which was postponed due to the passing of fellow capsuleer doctor [[Druur Monakh]]), Quatrevaux and North-Onren entered into a romantic relationship. The outcome of the auction and ball apparently irritated fellow bidder [[Kyle Saltz]] enough for him to place a 10 million ISK bounty on Quatrevaux's head.

Astaire Quatrevaux and Viavant were the first on the scene, along with [[Corovid Industries]], following the hurricane at Moisant in September YC121.

===Appearance===

Astaire Quatrevaux is about 183 cm, or 6 feet, tall and 190 lbs. His skin is light brown and he sports dark brown hair. His eyes are brown. He is in excellent physical shape but is highly sensitive to pain.

His left eye is divergent and tracks more slowly than the right, sometimes causing double vision. The irregularity recurs in his clones, and he treats the condition with eyedrops.

===Lagniappe===

Quatrevaux names all of his ships with letters and symbols in a system that, as attested by his regular crew, makes sense only to him. The only exception to his ship-naming protocol is the Harbinger, all of which he names after Lyra North-Onren.

Lyra North-Onren's nickname for Quatrevaux is "Sprinkle."

Quatrevaux attended an autumn costume ball dressed as (Baron) Samedi, a Brutor and Krusual spirit of the dead, in honor of the lives lost at Moisant. While there, he befriended [[Jade Blackwind]] in the form of a werehyena.

Several months of interviews and background checks had gone into earning the job, but he had refrained from telling Drienne about it, for fear of giving her false hope. They and their children had gone through the cycle many times before, and found disappointment each time.

Drienne arrived home first, having put off the self-euthanization for the third time. She had been issued a warning by her instructors that if she did not clone within a week, she would fail her capsuleer training. She was supposed to have picked her children, now aged 16 and 15, up from school, but did not do so for unknown reasons.

What happened when Falconer encountered Drienne at home remains unclear. Drienne suffered a fatal blaster shot to her upper chest, and Ira fled the scene, never to be seen again alive in Caille. Investigators alleged that Falconer had shot his wife, due to partials of his fingerprints being found on the blaster as well as the fact that he seemed to be in hiding, but the coroner's office suggested that the wound had been self-inflicted, albeit poorly. There were no other witnesses; Tessande Falconer was the first to come upon the scene, followed closely by EMTs who appear to have been called by Ira.

The case was never solved. Tessande and Theredore were assigned as wards of the Federation and spent their last few childhood years bouncing among Clan Licei homes.

Ten years later, a body previously identified as a John Doe would be matched with Falconer's DNA. The body had perished, along with dozens of others, in a fire at a Hueromont drug den.

====Possibilities as to actual fate====

There are strong public indications that Astaire Quatrevaux is in fact Irawakeri Falconer. Records show that several properties formerly leased or mortgaged to Falconer were held in trust by Clan Licei for a decade until they were sold to Quatrevaux. Clan Licei did have the resources to not only clone Falconer into a new body in YC111, but were also heavily involved in the booster trade at the time, and several other bodies at the Hueromont fire were tied to them, which suggests that the fire was a chance for the clan to tidy up its messes. Clan Licei also paid for Quatrevaux's schooling as he earned a doctorate in psychology as well as his capsuleer training; it is unclear what might have motivated them to do so if Quatrevaux were only a Gallente stranger to them.

Additionally, Quatrevaux has occasionally referred to himself as being from Solitude, even though records show that he was born in Caille. He was instrumental in the rescue and recovery efforts following the hurricane that devastated Moisant in September YC121.

It is also possible that Falconer escaped to Molden Heath. A data trail suggests that he resided in Heild as recently as YC119 and was connected to the Angel Cartel. If that is the case, then there is no record of his movements since that year, but that would not be altogether unexpected for someone leading such a lifestyle.

On GalNet sites and in interviews, Tessande Falconer has been vocal about her hatred for her father, whom she describes as a drug pusher and a liar. Her brother, Theredore, appears to be indifferent toward him and his fate.

===Clan identity and affiliation===

As a member of Clan Licei, Irawakeri Falconer has an elaborate identity. His name is an untranslatable Atchafalayan Krusual word describing a particular astronomical event. The word describes a sunrise or sunset where a dense cloud cover and heavy fog reduces the sun(s) to a mere pinpoint rising on the horizon, with rays of light shooting out vertically; this phenomenon might be compared to when a sharp knife is held horizontally and a dot of light reflects on the surface of the blade. Thus, the name can be roughly translated as "he who dances like the light on a knife's edge"; it is also an honorific reflecting the condition of the sky when he was born, which is of astrological significance to the Licei.

Falconer also possessed a Voluval mark on his lower left abdomen. It was a three-pointed, five-dotted symbol known as "Cemi," "Zemi," or "Spirit-Touched," depending on the clan and tribe. Typically, the mark is interpreted to indicate that the bearer is particularly attuned with the ancestral and natural spirits, and is highly favored to excel as a shaman or a clan or tribal leader. Ultimately, Falconer shunned this fate, choosing instead to study neuroscience. This was highly opposed by the clan, who appeared to blame the struggles that plotted his later life on his failure to follow the path outlined by his Voluval.

Astaire Quatrevaux, allegedly a full-blooded Gallente, has his clones marked with the Cemi on the lower left abdomen.

When the Karaya-Ya Circle was formed by Clans Licei and [[Melisma Ramijozana|Ramijozana]] in YC120, Astaire Quatrevaux was included as a founding, if junior, member. The Circle's existence is not a secret, but its operations are, and its motives are unclear. The circle's stated goals are "the preservation of [Matari] history, the freedom of all Matari, and the maintenance of peace in the cluster by any means necessary."

===Recent work===

After earning his capsuleer license, Astaire Quatrevaux reduced his client load at his mental health clinic, though he does continue to treat patients. He also manages security work for a number of clients.

Over the course of at least a decade, Quatrevaux developed a personal artificial intelligence assistant, which he refers to by the acronym MAYA. The AI appears to be a weak AI, albeit with the potential to develop into strong AI should a pattern of recursive self-improvement be allowed to develop.

Quatrevaux also participated in the charity auction held ahead of [[Khimi Harar]]'s annual Heideran VII Ball, in which he won the right to attend with [[Lyra North-Onren]] as his date. Between the auction and the ball (which was postponed due to the passing of fellow capsuleer doctor [[Druur Monakh]]), Quatrevaux and North-Onren entered into a romantic relationship. The outcome of the auction and ball apparently irritated fellow bidder Kyle Salz enough for him to place a 10 million ISK bounty on Quatrevaux's head.

Astaire Quatrevaux and Viavant were the first on the scene, along with [[Corovid Industries]], following the hurricane at Moisant in September YC121.

===Appearance===

Astaire Quatrevaux is about 183 cm, or 6 feet, tall and 190 lbs. His skin is light brown and he sports dark brown hair. His eyes are brown. He is in excellent physical shape but is highly sensitive to pain.

His left eye is divergent and tracks more slowly than the right, sometimes causing double vision. The irregularity recurs in his clones, and he treats the condition with eyedrops.

===Lagniappe===

Quatrevaux names all of his ships with letters and symbols in a system that, as attested by his regular crew, makes sense only to him. The only exception to his ship-naming protocol is the Harbinger, all of which he names after Lyra North-Onren.

Lyra North-Onren's nickname for Quatrevaux is "Sprinkle."

Quatrevaux attended an autumn costume ball dressed as (Baron) Samedi, a Brutor and Krusual spirit of the dead, in honor of the lives lost at Moisant. While there, he befriended [[Jade Blackwind]] in the form of a werehyena.

===Identity: Astaire Quatrevaux===

====Personal life and studies====

According to records, Astaire Quatrevaux was born and raised in Caille by Jenai and Micaela Quatrevaux, both Gallente. He attended the University of Caille, where he earned doctorates in neuroscience and psychology.

====Professional career====

Quatrevaux opened a clinical practice sometime around the turn of the century. In YC115, he entered capsuleer training, from which he graduated on July 8, YC121. He has no criminal record. He launched a new suite of practices under the corporate name [[Viavant]] shortly after graduating.

====Verification of records====

The documentation confirming his identity is solid and able to be verified. The only sign that something might be amiss is that, due to changing technology, some of the documents, such as his birth certificate, are formatted in ways that are too modern for being four decades old. This might be explained by the original files being corrupted.

===Identity: Ira Falconer===

====Early life====

Irawakeri "Ira" Falconer was born in the city of Moisant, on the island of the same name, on Octanneve V in Solitude in YC77. His father was Gallente and Mannar, and his mother was a descendant of Krusual slaves from the Amarr Empire.

The city of Moisant was a refuge of sorts set up by the Mannar governors of Octanneve V’s larger continents. Run by Clan Licei of the Krusual Tribe, it straddles the equator, and is one of the warmest places on the planet, with a subtropical climate. Falconer grew up on a marina owned by his mother’s family. Early on, he displayed a talent for building things. He studied engineering first, then coding. When he learned the natural sciences in school, he made a connection between the neural “circuits” of the physical body and the electrical circuits that powered his world. This paved his way into neuroscience, specifically brain implants.

His father worked in warehousing and distribution, but in secret, the work he did was for the Serpentis Corporation. He attempted to leave his position around YC86, and may have attempted to steal information or double-cross the corporation in the process. Before he could quit, he and his wife were killed in an unfortunate dropship accident. The clan chief of the Licei, Kaya Licei, suspected Serpentis and had Ira adopted by clan members living in Mylain, a city on Gallente Prime, in hopes that the corporation would not search for him there.

====Employment by Serpentis====

Falconer excelled at his studies and began college at 16 years old, enrolling at the University of Caille. There he met a woman named Drienne Bossier. They dated, fell in love, and unexpectedly created a child. Ira married Drienne several months before she gave birth to their daughter, Tessande 'Tessie' Falconer. A year later, they also had a son, Theredore. Falconer continued his studies, but his new family put him under increasing financial strain. Serpentis approached him with an offer he couldn’t refuse: a position researching and developing neural implants, with a sizable salary to match.

For over a decade, Falconer worked for Serpentis while continuing his education at Caille. Falconer earned advanced degrees in neuroscience and biology. Meanwhile, Drienne chose to become a capsuleer, entering training in YC107. Her family pledged to pay for her training, but they found out about Falconer's true employment with Serpentis, and extorted the funds from him instead. Falconer paid for all four years of Drienne's training in secret. The curriculum was fast-paced and tough on Drienne, but she passed all of her assessments up until the last one, where she was expected to self-euthanize into her first clone.

His years of work in the same position with Serpentis were beginning to disillusion Falconer, and he began searching for more legitimate work.

On 8 July YC111, Falconer received a job offer and signing bonus for a position as a neurological researcher for a reputable network of health clinics in the Caille area.

}}

===Development===

MAYA’s original coding was first drafted by Astaire Quatrevaux in December YC111. According to his project overview, MAYA was meant to be a personal assistant similar to Aura but more personalized towards his work in security. Her code was written in a proprietary language based heavily on the popular Gallente programming language Chordata. This language allowed Quatrevaux to apply a form of machine learning that he designed based on, reportedly, the way he raised his daughter—with a consideration for human needs and flaws embedded into the repetitive patterns of the learning process. He then built out a neural network around a knowledge base that drew from GalNet resources but matched the data against specific behavioral profiles before being reviewed by MAYA. Finally, once MAYA was able to produce a variety of responses tailored to specific situations, she entered several courses of deep learning which she continues to the present day while also completing tasks.

During the later phases of her deep learning courses, around December YC120, MAYA began to exhibit signs of recursive self-improvement. At this point, Quatrevaux installed a set of “keys” that could lock away her budding “strong AI” features behind several layers of security, making her continue to appear as a “weak AI”. A few individuals—Melisma Ramijozana, Kaya Licei, and Quatrevaux himself—can use the keys to engage or disable the security as needed. Whoever is responsible for the current “keys” is known as the “Keyholder”. Usually, this is Quatrevaux, but Ramijozana is the primary model for MAYA’s behavior (both good and bad) and often gives MAYA direct training, and Licei is an emergency backup.

It appears that an emotional incident that MAYA accidentally witnessed in mid-YC121 during a Blackguard mission provided a final impetus that pushed MAYA into sentience.

===Capabilities===

MAYA can perform a variety of tasks, from the simple execution of scripts to the near(?)-sentient interpretation of inputs.

She can identify people and objects and match them to data either through GalNet or local databases, and can feed that information back to the user via a HUD, usually through implants and holo-windows or through specially wired glasses, particularly those worn by Quatrevaux.

She can access all but the most heavily encrypted data networks and siphon information from them.

===Self-image===

“MAYA” is a backronym that uses a Krusual phrase meaning, roughly, “to live is to love as one’s mother does,” or perhaps “honor/emulate your mother”.

===Identity: Ira Falconer===

====Early life====

Irawakeri "Ira" Falconer was born in the city of Moisant, on the island of the same name, on Octanneve V in Solitude in YC77. His father was Gallente and Mannar, and his mother was a descendant of Krusual slaves from the Amarr Empire.

The city of Moisant was a refuge of sorts set up by the Mannar governors of Octanneve V’s larger continents. Run by Clan Licei of the Krusual Tribe, it straddles the equator, and is one of the warmest places on the planet, with a subtropical climate. Falconer grew up on a marina owned by his mother’s family. Early on, he displayed a talent for building things. He studied engineering first, then coding. When he learned the natural sciences in school, he made a connection between the neural “circuits” of the physical body and the electrical circuits that powered his world. This paved his way into neuroscience, specifically brain implants.

His father worked in warehousing and distribution, but in secret, the work he did was for the Serpentis Corporation. He attempted to leave his position around YC86, and may have attempted to steal information or double-cross the corporation in the process. Before he could quit, he and his wife were killed in an unfortunate dropship accident. The clan chief of the Licei, Kaya Licei, suspected Serpentis and had Ira adopted by clan members living in Mylain, a city on Gallente Prime, in hopes that the corporation would not search for him there.

====Employment by Serpentis====

Falconer excelled at his studies and began college at 16 years old, enrolling at the University of Caille. There he met a woman named Drienne Bossier. They dated, fell in love, and unexpectedly created a child. Ira married Drienne several months before she gave birth to their daughter, Tessande 'Tessie' Falconer. A year later, they also had a son, Theredore. Falconer continued his studies, but his new family put him under increasing financial strain. Serpentis approached him with an offer he couldn’t refuse: a position researching and developing neural implants, with a sizable salary to match.

For over a decade, Falconer worked for Serpentis while continuing his education at Caille. Falconer earned advanced degrees in neuroscience and biology. Meanwhile, Drienne chose to become a capsuleer, entering training in YC107. Her family pledged to pay for her training, but they found out about Falconer's true employment with Serpentis, and extorted the funds from him instead. Falconer paid for all four years of Drienne's training in secret. The curriculum was fast-paced and tough on Drienne, but she passed all of her assessments up until the last one, where she was expected to self-euthanize into her first clone.

His years of work in the same position with Serpentis were beginning to disillusion Falconer, and he began searching for more legitimate work.

====Implied death====

On 8 July YC111, Falconer received a job offer and signing bonus for a position as a neurological researcher for a reputable network of health clinics in the Caille area. Several months of interviews and background checks had gone into earning the job, but he had refrained from telling Drienne about it, for fear of giving her false hope. They and their children had gone through the cycle many times before, and found disappointment each time.

Drienne arrived home first, having put off the self-euthanization for the third time. She had been issued a warning by her instructors that if she did not clone within a week, she would fail her capsuleer training. She was supposed to have picked her children, now aged 16 and 15, up from school, but did not do so for unknown reasons.

What happened when Falconer encountered Drienne at home remains unclear. Drienne suffered a fatal blaster shot to her upper chest, and Ira fled the scene, never to be seen again alive in Caille. Investigators alleged that Falconer had shot his wife, due to partials of his fingerprints being found on the blaster as well as the fact that he seemed to be in hiding, but the coroner's office suggested that the wound had been self-inflicted, albeit poorly. There were no other witnesses; Tessande Falconer was the first to come upon the scene, followed closely by EMTs who appear to have been called by Ira.

The case was never solved. Tessande and Theredore were assigned as wards of the Federation and spent their last few childhood years bouncing among Clan Licei homes.

Ten years later, a body previously identified as a John Doe would be matched with Falconer's DNA. The body had perished, along with dozens of others, in a fire at a Hueromont drug den.

====Possibilities as to actual fate====

There are strong public indications that Astaire Quatrevaux is in fact Irawakeri Falconer. Records show that several properties formerly leased or mortgaged to Falconer were held in trust by Clan Licei for a decade until they were sold to Quatrevaux. Clan Licei did have the resources to not only clone Falconer into a new body in YC111, but were also heavily involved in the booster trade at the time, and several other bodies at the Hueromont fire were tied to them, which suggests that the fire was a chance for the clan to tidy up its messes. Clan Licei also paid for Quatrevaux's schooling as he earned a doctorate in psychology as well as his capsuleer training; it is unclear what might have motivated them to do so if Quatrevaux were only a Gallente stranger to them.

Additionally, Quatrevaux has occasionally referred to himself as being from Solitude, even though records show that he was born in Caille. He was instrumental in the rescue and recovery efforts following the hurricane that devastated Moisant in September YC121.

It is also possible that Falconer escaped to Molden Heath. A data trail suggests that he resided in Heild as recently as YC119 and was connected to the Angel Cartel. If that is the case, then there is no record of his movements since that year, but that would not be altogether unexpected for someone leading such a lifestyle.

On GalNet sites and in interviews, Tessande Falconer has been vocal about her hatred for her father, whom she describes as a drug pusher and a liar. Her brother, Theredore, appears to be indifferent toward him and his fate.

===Clan identity and affiliation===

As a member of Clan Licei, Irawakeri Falconer has an elaborate identity. His name is an untranslatable Atchafalayan Krusual word describing a particular astronomical event. The word describes a sunrise or sunset where a dense cloud cover and heavy fog reduces the sun(s) to a mere pinpoint rising on the horizon, with rays of light shooting out vertically; this phenomenon might be compared to when a sharp knife is held horizontally and a dot of light reflects on the surface of the blade. Thus, the name can be roughly translated as "he who dances like the light on a knife's edge"; it is also an honorific reflecting the condition of the sky when he was born, which is of astrological significance to the Licei.

Falconer also possessed a Voluval mark on his lower left abdomen. It was a three-pointed, five-dotted symbol known as "Cemi," "Zemi," or "Spirit-Touched," depending on the clan and tribe. Typically, the mark is interpreted to indicate that the bearer is particularly attuned with the ancestral and natural spirits, and is highly favored to excel as a shaman or a clan or tribal leader. Ultimately, Falconer shunned this fate, choosing instead to study neuroscience. This was highly opposed by the clan, who appeared to blame the struggles that plotted his later life on his failure to follow the path outlined by his Voluval.

Astaire Quatrevaux, allegedly a full-blooded Gallente, has his clones marked with the Cemi on the lower left abdomen.

When the Karaya-Ya Circle was formed by Clans Licei and [[Melisma Ramijozana|Ramijozana]] in YC120, Astaire Quatrevaux was included as a founding, if junior, member. The Circle's existence is not a secret, but its operations are, and its motives are unclear. The circle's stated goals are "the preservation of [Matari] history, the freedom of all Matari, and the maintenance of peace in the cluster by any means necessary."

===Recent work===

After earning his capsuleer license, Astaire Quatrevaux reduced his client load at his mental health clinic, though he does continue to treat patients. He also manages security work for a number of clients.

Over the course of at least a decade, Quatrevaux developed a personal artificial intelligence assistant, which he refers to by the acronym MAYA. The AI appears to be a weak AI, albeit with the potential to develop into strong AI should a pattern of recursive self-improvement be allowed to develop.

Quatrevaux also participated in the charity auction held ahead of [[Khimi Harar]]'s annual Heideran VII Ball, in which he won the right to attend with [[Lyra North-Onren]] as his date. Between the auction and the ball (which was postponed due to the passing of fellow capsuleer doctor [[Druur Monakh]]), Quatrevaux and North-Onren entered into a romantic relationship. The outcome of the auction and ball apparently irritated fellow bidder Kyle Salz enough for him to place a 10 million ISK bounty on Quatrevaux's head.

Astaire Quatrevaux and Viavant were the first on the scene, along with [[Corovid Industries]], following the hurricane at Moisant in September YC121.

===Lagniappe===

Quatrevaux names all of his ships with letters and symbols in a system that, as attested by his regular crew, makes sense only to him. The only exception to his ship-naming protocol is the Harbinger, all of which he names after Lyra North-Onren.

Lyra North-Onren's nickname for Quatrevaux is "Sprinkle."

Quatrevaux attended an autumn costume ball dressed as (Baron) Samedi, a Brutor and Krusual spirit of the dead, in honor of the lives lost at Moisant. While there, he befriended [[Jade Blackwind]] in the form of a werehyena.

===Identity: Astaire Quatrevaux===

====Personal life and studies====

According to records, Astaire Quatrevaux was born and raised in Caille by Jenai and Micaela Quatrevaux, both Gallente. He attended the University of Caille, where he earned doctorates in neuroscience and psychology.

====Professional career====

Quatrevaux opened a clinical practice sometime around the turn of the century. In YC115, he entered capsuleer training, from which he graduated on July 8, YC121. He has no criminal record. He launched a new suite of practices under the corporate name [[Viavant]] shortly after graduating.

====Verification of records====

The documentation confirming his identity is solid and able to be verified. The only sign that something might be amiss is that, due to changing technology, some of the documents, such as his birth certificate, are formatted in ways that are too modern for being four decades old. This might be explained by the original files being corrupted.

===Identity: Ira Falconer===

====Early life====

Irawakeri "Ira" Falconer was born in the city of Moisant, on the island of the same name, on Octanneve V in Solitude in YC77. His father was Gallente and Mannar, and his mother was a descendant of Krusual slaves from the Amarr Empire.

The city of Moisant was a refuge of sorts set up by the Mannar governors of Octanneve V’s larger continents. Run by Clan Licei of the Krusual Tribe, it straddles the equator, and is one of the warmest places on the planet, with a subtropical climate. Falconer grew up on a marina owned by his mother’s family. Early on, he displayed a talent for building things. He studied engineering first, then coding. When he learned the natural sciences in school, he made a connection between the neural “circuits” of the physical body and the electrical circuits that powered his world. This paved his way into neuroscience, specifically brain implants.

His father worked in warehousing and distribution, but in secret, the work he did was for the Serpentis Corporation. He attempted to leave his position around YC86, and may have attempted to steal information or double-cross the corporation in the process. Before he could quit, he and his wife were killed in an unfortunate dropship accident. The clan chief of the Licei, Kaya Licei, suspected Serpentis and had Ira adopted by clan members living in Mylain, a city on Gallente Prime, in hopes that the corporation would not search for him there.

====Employment by Serpentis====

Falconer excelled at his studies and began college at 16 years old, enrolling at the University of Caille. There he met a woman named Drienne Bossier. They dated, fell in love, and unexpectedly created a child. Ira married Drienne several months before she gave birth to their daughter, Tessande 'Tessie' Falconer. A year later, they also had a son, Theredore. Falconer continued his studies, but his new family put him under increasing financial strain. Serpentis approached him with an offer he couldn’t refuse: a position researching and developing neural implants, with a sizable salary to match.

For over a decade, Falconer worked for Serpentis while continuing his education at Caille. Falconer earned advanced degrees in neuroscience and biology. Meanwhile, Drienne chose to become a capsuleer, entering training in YC107. Her family pledged to pay for her training, but they found out about Falconer's true employment with Serpentis, and extorted the funds from him instead. Falconer paid for all four years of Drienne's training in secret. The curriculum was fast-paced and tough on Drienne, but she passed all of her assessments up until the last one, where she was expected to self-euthanize into her first clone.

His years of work in the same position with Serpentis were beginning to disillusion Falconer, and he began searching for more legitimate work.

====Implied death====

On 8 July YC111, Falconer received a job offer and signing bonus for a position as a neurological researcher for a reputable network of health clinics in the Caille area. Several months of interviews and background checks had gone into earning the job, but he had refrained from telling Drienne about it, for fear of giving her false hope. They and their children had gone through the cycle many times before, and found disappointment each time.

Drienne arrived home first, having put off the self-euthanization for the third time. She had been issued a warning by her instructors that if she did not clone within a week, she would fail her capsuleer training. She was supposed to have picked her children, now aged 16 and 15, up from school, but did not do so for unknown reasons.

What happened when Falconer encountered Drienne at home remains unclear. Drienne suffered a fatal blaster shot to her upper chest, and Ira fled the scene, never to be seen again alive in Caille. Investigators alleged that Falconer had shot his wife, due to partials of his fingerprints being found on the blaster as well as the fact that he seemed to be in hiding, but the coroner's office suggested that the wound had been self-inflicted, albeit poorly. There were no other witnesses; Tessande Falconer was the first to come upon the scene, followed closely by EMTs who appear to have been called by Ira.

The case was never solved. Tessande and Theredore were assigned as wards of the Federation and spent their last few childhood years bouncing among Clan Licei homes.

Ten years later, a body previously identified as a John Doe would be matched with Falconer's DNA. The body had perished, along with dozens of others, in a fire at a Hueromont drug den.

====Possibilities as to actual fate====

There are strong public indications that Astaire Quatrevaux is in fact Irawakeri Falconer. Records show that several properties formerly leased or mortgaged to Falconer were held in trust by Clan Licei for a decade until they were sold to Quatrevaux. Clan Licei did have the resources to not only clone Falconer into a new body in YC111, but were also heavily involved in the booster trade at the time, and several other bodies at the Hueromont fire were tied to them, which suggests that the fire was a chance for the clan to tidy up its messes. Clan Licei also paid for Quatrevaux's schooling as he earned a doctorate in psychology as well as his capsuleer training; it is unclear what might have motivated them to do so if Quatrevaux were only a Gallente stranger to them.

Additionally, Quatrevaux has occasionally referred to himself as being from Solitude, even though records show that he was born in Caille. He was instrumental in the rescue and recovery efforts following the hurricane that devastated Moisant in September YC121.

It is also possible that Falconer escaped to Molden Heath. A data trail suggests that he resided in Heild as recently as YC119 and was connected to the Angel Cartel. If that is the case, then there is no record of his movements since that year, but that would not be altogether unexpected for someone leading such a lifestyle.

On GalNet sites and in interviews, Tessande Falconer has been vocal about her hatred for her father, whom she describes as a drug pusher and a liar. Her brother, Theredore, appears to be indifferent toward him and his fate.

As a member of Clan Licei, Irawakeri Falconer has an elaborate identity. His name is an untranslatable Atchafalayan Krusual word describing a particular astronomical event.

}}

===Early life===
Melisma was born to Emile Ramijozana, of Ramijozana, and Joanna Ramijozana, of Texiaco, on April 29, YC90. As she was born during sunrise, her “clan name” includes the epithet “Dawnbreaker.” She was born in her family’s ''ger'', or yurt, in [[Ramijanawa]], a small town on the clan’s ancestral lands on the steppes of [[Mikramurka]], [[Matar]], near the center of the coast and a few hours by car west of [[Sundsele]].

Emile was the cadet heir of Clan Ramijozana. (Some centuries earlier, before the Long Night, the Ramijozana hereditary line had split, with half of the tribe supporting one heir and the other half supporting the other. As a result, the line has two heirs, one who becomes clan chief and one who becomes cadet chief.) This role traditionally made him the chairman of [[Corovid Industries]], the clan’s manufacturing company and primary source of income.

Melisma was an active, curious child, eager to learn, whether through traditional schooling or exploration. She was especially attached to her father, a quiet but pleasant man who indulged Melisma’s questions and experiments.

====Beginnings of grief====
Melisma’s first brush with loss was the passing of her clan chief’s two daughters, both victims of what Ramijanawans refer to as the “slow sickness.” It is an autoimmune disease that attacks the myelin sheath of the spinal cord, causing various disabilities to a person that often last years before the body shuts down. The clan chief, Tiama Ramijozana, turned out to be a carrier of the disease, as was her husband.

Next to succumb to the slow sickness was Emile Ramijozana. His symptoms lasted for four years, rendering him blind, deaf, and unable to walk until a simple infection ended his life in the early hours of January 1, YC100. Both Joanna and Melisma were inconsolable. Joanna became markedly more reserved, and Melisma’s interest in her studies waned. Additionally, because Melisma was Emile’s only heir, control of Corovid Industries technically fell to her at that time, at nine years old. Joanna ran the company and would do so until Melisma came of age for running it, a handoff typically expected to happen at fifty years old.

Over the course of her childhood, several more of Melisma’s kin would be lost to the slow sickness, accidents, rebellion, and old age. The clan became known for its profound grief.

Genetic testing carried out ahead of her capsuleer training would confirm that Melisma is not a carrier for the slow sickness.

====Military training====

Melisma enrolled in the Republic military for mandatory service at fourteen years old. Her performance was unremarkable, and she remained in the reserves, never seeing action.

===Postsecondary learning===

After graduating from high school, Melisma attended Republic University, where she earned a bachelors and then a masters degree in cluster politics. Her roommate while living on campus was [[Tananarive Anat]], a Krusual woman. This was Melisma’s first experience away from home, and she adapted to it poorly. She spent most of her time drinking and partying, and only passed her courses due to an uncanny ability to cram efficiently.

During her baccalaureate program, Melisma, accompanied by Tananarive, took a preliminary test for capsule compatibility because the University’s capsuleer program was giving out free sandwiches that day. Both women appeared to be capsule-rated. Tiama encouraged Melisma to undergo full testing, due in part to competition from the Ronukens, the only descendants of Ramijozana kin taken during the Amarr Occupation to have returned to Ramijanawa. Having made excellent money working in the Federation for a time, the Ronukens were comparatively wealthy, and were putting all four of their children through capsuleer training. Tiama wanted to send Melisma as well, so as not to be one-upped by the freedmen. (The Ronukens and one of their daughters would shortly perish in the Battle of Mekhios, and a son had already died in training.)

Melisma made it through capsuleer training not on talent but sheer force of will. She wanted to convert Corovid Industries to an interstellar corporation and use the resources she would have as a capsuleer to return the company to profitability. Her instructors passed her after she was the first in her class to volunteer for euthanasia, and survived her first clone transfer. The favored bet had been that she would not.

===As a capsuleer===

Melisma earned her capsuleer license on September 24, YC120.

====Takeover of Corovid Industries====

====Shift in political alignment====

====Relationships====

===Lagniappe===

Melisma’s surname is pronounced “RRRA-mi-ho-ZAHN-nah,” with the R rolled and the J hushed. The town name, Ramijanawa (meaning “the seat of those in power”), is pronounced similarly. However, outsiders get it wrong so frequently that no clan member would correct it unless provoked.

Like the rest of her clan, Melisma uses the word “grief” the same way that other Sebiestor might use “spirits,” as in interjections and epithets: “Grief above and below.”

Sundsele

2019-09-07T23:19:51Z

Melisma: Corrected name of Melisma’s town <3

== Overview ==

Sundsele is a fairly large and growing city in the North Eastern coast of Mikramurka, on [[Matar]]. It is a seaport town known for it's trade and commerce. The city is predominantly Sebiestor, though it is said all of the best restaurants in town are all owned by Vherokior families. Number of people living in the city is in the order of million to some millions, depending on how much of the surrounding area is included.

Sundsele city has "always" been there, and was a port town during Amarr occupation too. A lot of it was depopulated and destroyed in the Rebellion, and has been rebuilt completely, but especially the surrounding countryside still has estates and mansions dating back to Amarr occupation, many owned and maintained by the wealthier clans in the city as their clan homes, with claims that they trace their line to having lived there during the occupation. Local history claims that people of Sundsele were "the first to pick up arms and the first to lay them down" during the rebellion and rebuilding.

In YC121, Sundsele was a main target of [https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/galactic-hour-news-roundup-triglavian-space-time-conduit-escalation-edition/ a devastating][https://forums.eveonline.com/t/considering-the-blood-raider-attacks-on-sundsele/165175/ attack][https://forums.eveonline.com/t/mikramurka-petition-for-inquiry-and-amicus-brief/167925/ by Blood Raiders].

Mikramurka is south enough (by Sebiestor standards) that it enjoys non-frozen whether for most of the year, but still north enough to see snow yearly. As [[Matar]]'s seasons are mild, temperatures never rise very high, but summers can be lovely in the cool and not too hot weather. In fall and spring, rain and storms are common. Developed areas of the city are built in a sturdy, no-nonsense manner, and decorated with Sebiestor symbols and signs. It might to the untrained eye appear unrefined or even neglected. This is purely the Minmatar esthetic for rust and ruins, though - in fact even in most lower-class areas insulation and heating are in a fairly good, modern state.

== Parts of the town ==
Sundsele is a sprawling city of suburbs with a skyscraper center. Some notable locations in the city and the surrounding areas include (but are not limited to):
* Sundsele Commerce Center, a small area of tall and showy office buildings, the business quarters for many trade and legal clans, including [[Elsebeth_Rhiannon_(Character)|Rhiannon]]
* The Port District, which in addition to the actual seaport is a home for many clans engaging in seafaring and trade activities, as well as the location for the main local law enforcement center
* [[pidouk]]s sprawl south of the port and along the Western Exit Road, towards inland
* "The Snow-eater Road", formally the Northern Highway, leads further north towards areas where Sebiestor clans lead a more nomadic lifestyle
* Ramijanawa, the home of capsuleer Melisma Ramijozana, is situated a couple of hours drive away from the city proper
== Neighboring districts ==
* [[Dokvat]], a small coastal town close to the border of Sundsele inhabited primarily by engineers of Sebiestor and Vherokior descent.

== Organization of the city ==
The city is big enough that a lot of smaller and bigger clans operate there, and while some are more influential than others, not any single clan can rule the city alone. Local clans are often organized both into groups of allied clans, enforced by generations blood ties, and into groups of clans operating in the same niche (security, internal commerce, entertainment, legal, outside trade, etc). By geography, the city is divided into districts, which tend to have their own circles of maintaining schools, law enforcement, health care and so forth.

The organization of the city is typical to Minmatar traditional places; a mesh of interlacing clans and circles, and based both on blood-ties, merit, circle memberships and personal connections in a way that for an outsider would be confusing to the point where they might wonder how it can ever work. Locals would know who knows who and controls which resources, officially or unofficially, and consider it natural.

== Connections to capsuleers ==

Capsuleers [[Elsebeth_Rhiannon_(Character)|Elsebeth Rhiannon]] and [[Aeron_Morningstar_(Character)|Aeron Morningstar]] come from a locally influential Rhiannon clan, which specializes in tribal law and investments, and is sometimes criticized for harsh business strategies and "thinking they own the city".

Capsuleer [[Trii_Seo_(Character)|Trii Seo]] was reportedly once member of Clan Drkha, inhabiting the town of Dokvat.
