Wherein your humble scribe presents a trio of characters for a completely non-existent sci fi setting for Basic RolePlaying.
Daelwyn L’Orreaux was the beautiful and gifted daughter of noted Ionian geneticist Dr. Hyrum L’Orreaux. She was murdered by jackbooted thugs in service to the Jovian Protectorate’s Minister of Defense, Evairyx Schim, in an attempt to force Dr. L’Orreaux to develop genetic supermen to lead the Protectorate’s warmachine. Daelwyn’s death drove her father to flee his native Io and take refuge amongst the free peoples of the Saturnian Association. There, in a private research facility well-hidden within Saturn’s ring system, Dr. L’Orreaux has created a trio of clones of his daughter to be trained as assassins to exact his revenge against the entire leadership of the Jovian Protectorate. Though these clones are near-perfect replicas of the original Daelwyn, each has manifested a slightly different personality, affinities, and set of psychic powers. Despite being well aware of their true nature, each considers herself a daughter of the original Daelwyn and the other two, thus, her sisters. They are fanatically dedicated to their father and his vision of vengeance.

Do I detect an anti-Jovian sentiment here?
I’d put my money on clone version IV. Having empathy powers could make for a really effective assassin–in the long run, anyway.
Anti-Jovian? Me? Never! (Oh, wait, I think we’ve discussed this before and thus I can’t even feign innocence. Alas)
You might be right about IV, G-Man. Or you might just have a weakness for saber-dancing space hotties 🙂
Interesting side-note: way, way back in a Gamma World campaign I used to run, I had a group of colonies on Jupiter’s moons called ‘The Jovian Alliance.’ Untouched by the apocalypse, they would sometimes visit Earth to replenish bio-stocks and get into conflicts with the similarly unscathed L4 and L5 Lagrangian Lunar colonists. The PC’s saw both groups as simply ‘aliens’ until they (eventually) discovered their true origins.
That’s a neat way to introduce those kinds of elements to a post apocalyptic setting, G-Man. I like it a lot! Well, except for the Jovian part 🙂
