Love & War 6: Replicants

Chapter 24: The Ice-Man Cometh

"Light alone is harmless, but focused light is the most powerful force in the universe."

"Glacius is an interstellar warden who came to Earth to retrieve alien technology humanity itself is unprepared to use. But Earth has come under assault by the demon Gargos. Glacius believes that there are allies combatting on ongoing situation with the Replicants of Earth's inhabitants. Knowing this, he attempts to ensure its survival, driven by chivalry to protect the young species with potential for greatness."

As a galactic marshal, Glacius hunts down those who have violated any of the "88 Decrees"of the Alliance of Worlds. His race are powerful beings with an ability to bend dimple molecular structure to their will, encasing their relatively defenseless bodies in all manner of protective shells. This gives them an ability to adapt to environments easily and turn local resources from any planet into native forms of offense and defense, allowing them to move from planet to planet, and thus always with a means of besting their quarry.

Glacius came to Earth when his ship was attacked by technology humanity should not access. His ship crashed in Antarctica. He adapted to ice immediately by creating a protective shell when the previous one he had was destroyed and sets off to find those responsible for the fake signal and attacking his ship. During his travels, he observed the humans. He soon discovered that their technology was corrupted, in which he believes is s serious violation of the 88 Decrees. He soon learned of the Killer Instinct tournament orchestrated by Ultratech, but upon further analysis, it was made to lure out a certain human. Glacius discovered that that human was none other than Melody Jones of the Homefront Warriors. He studied Melody's credentials, and was intrigued that she possesses powers far beyond human comprehension. He also believes that she was chosen as the key to saving Earth as she had done in the past. With this new knowledge, Glacius will observe Melody from a distance, acertaining that she would mistake him for an enemy. He also knows that their are allies joining her cause in eradicating Gargos's onslaught.
