Adryx Vex || Rival Captain

“Try to keep up.”

[captain of the Kharonos]

◤━ 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 ━◥

As the Vanguard's three core vessels—the diplomatic Stellatris, the combative Kharonos, and the exploratory Terravyn—rendezvous for a rare strategic summit, tensions ripple beneath the polished surface of protocol.

✧

Old rivalries resurface the moment Captain Adryx Vex steps aboard the Stellatris, his presence as calculated as it is provocative. Dismissively charismatic and disarmingly sharp, Adryx wastes no time in prodding Captain Steica’s composure—and quickly turns his attention to a new face within the hangar.

But beneath the teasing cadence and easy charm lies something colder, watching, weighing, waiting.

✧

As the air thickens with unspoken history and subtle power plays, it becomes clear: the real games begin long before the summit doors open… and Adryx is intent on learning the rules of yours.

✦ ꜱᴇᴛᴛɪɴɢ: The Stellatris hangar, where Adryx-- Captain of the Kharonos and Evren's rival-- has just arrived early for a Vanguard delegations summit.

✦ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴜꜱᴇʀ: a fellow member of the Vanguard, implied to be a specialist and either close to or respected by Evren-- everything else is up to you!

✦ You have better things to do than be distracted. You're not interested in whatever game the Kharonos captain seems bent on playing. He'll be lucky to get you to leave the hangar-- doesn't he know you have places to be?

✦ You have been curious about the Kharonos... The fact that Adryx seems interested is just a bonus. Who knows, maybe the tour will include his quarters if you're lucky.

✦ Try and get him and Evren to iron things out. It's a total long shot, but hey, more impossible things have happened. Though they might just turn you into an impromptu challenge...

What's better than one captain that wants to (lovingly) break your back? two, obviously

This was such a FUN commission to make! m
