Description
Adler…my newest invasion. He's light silver tabby ticked with deep black mane. He appears like a Mafia boss, but is actually a nice and warm gentleman. With his height and natural leader appearance he quickly impresses others and is often seen as a kind of 'warm' leader that inspires others. However, he's also a bit greedy and very opportunistic and in order to achieve his goals he's very creative in using words and manipulating others. Despite that he still has a good feeling for empathy and a soft spot for women. His character sheet and more art of him will follow!
He is the son of the dreaded Ferrus (a son of Nigras, the black lion-like one who appears in Theory of Mind, so Ferrus is also a half-brother of Sasha) who tries to wipe out all Northern hyenas, and later expands his crazy genocide to nearby human and arctian populations. Ferrus (charactersheet follows later) wants to eliminate all concurrence and take the power for himself (in which he succeeds thanks to a whole bunch of followers, he got thanks to his dominant leader appearance and speech-skills. Really, Ferrus =nazi…
His son Adler 'parks himself' on a very high rank in Ferrus’ party…he got the leader skills from his father and manages to manipulate a lot of Ferrus’ followers and establishes good ‘friendship’ relations with them (including Ferrus) - in order to get high status and a lot of resources. When his father grows more and more ‘evil’; Adler uses the fear Ferrus creates among Northern hyenas, to blackmail them (well more to convince them creatively) and make them work and hunt for him, so that he gets even more appreciation and resources (rare, valuable crystals and so on) from Ferrus and his followers.
However, when Ferrus begins to use more and more violence and starts to wipe out all Northern hyena populations in and around the metacluster Notochord; Adler tries to accumulate as many NHs as possible in his land. When Ferrus expands his genocide plans to the local human and arctian populations; Adler starts to use his resources (a lot of valuable crystals he got for all the work and convincing talks) to get more land from Ferrus; to actually protect the humans, NHs and Arctians living there. This is not very sustainable for him on the long term, but thankfully Stian kills Ferrus -once. How the story continues… well, I dunno yet. But I don’t think Stian likes Adler’s ideas of saving humans. Stian has enough followers to chase off Ferrus' ‘SS-force’ which already was weakening when Ferrus turned completely crazy and 'evil'.
So…Adler et al. is to be continued 8D

Ehh no? Apart from the long black, backwards turned mane, he has nothing something in common with Scar. He is inspired by something completely different. But I think the black mane is the thing people notice at first and then they don't look further . And his personality is not Scar at all either. If I would make a siderian version of Scar he would look significantly different. But yeah TLK is something people always love to compare with- no matter what, but people will always find somehow links with it - as if TLK (oh and wolves - especially here on DA) is the only think people can compare with. Anyway you're not the first one that compares my stuff with TLK and finds elements which I never intended to make similar to TLK and that are actually inspired by something completely different.

Oh he also looks familiar...but I can't say who he reminds me of. But wow, that Ferrus sounds like both a dedicated, but also a really fierce guy. Ferrus would be Sasha's brother, right?

I'm very curious who he reminds you of! Please try digging in yer memory and tell me later on 8D. Hmm Ferrus starts with very innovative intentions for the metacluster (after he chased his father Nigras off as leader)- but he turns like a crazy psychopathic mass-murderer. Alder can't stand against him, but he can at least try to save a few of the victims Ferrus wanted to make.
And Ferrus is actully Sasha's half-brother. Their father Nigras mated several females XD As Ferrus does; to an even greater degree- so Adler might have a lot of half-siblings.

Well a character in one of games is one, but oddly that isn't it. For some reason I'm kind of being reminded of the elves from the Lord of the Rings. I read the first book and saw the movie, but I'm not exactly deep in the fandom. But actually it does make me think of them.
But...I thought Siderians only have one mate upon reaching full adulthood because of needing to rear the kittens. But...then again, if they live in a large family group the kittens can be raised communally. Like lion cubs.
Oh it sounds like a really dark time indeed, and I take that it will be in the comic, correct? Somehow I can guess that this probably won't have a happy ending for Mr. Ferrus.

Oh about siderians being monogamous or polygamous - indeed you got the point usually, siderians are monogamous, especially in remote areas, far away from metaclusters and all facilities. There they really need both parents to raise the kitten. However, in metaclusters there are more facilities (like education, medical care, and a more advanced metaphysical crystal energy and information system) and the prey population is artificially kept higher. So in metaclusters females can actually raise a kitten alone, so polygamy happens more often in and around metaclusters. So there is a some cultural difference between the 'rural' and the 'city' siderians XD.
The story of Ferrus is probably not coming in the comic, because it may happen later on and I'm gonna focus on the story of Yves and Sasha with the hyenas in another metacluster than Notochord XD. But Ferrus' storyline may appear in the main-story (which I will write later on but not publish weekly on DA)- because Stian is gonna make an end to Ferrus' terror.
And about Adler- now you mention the elves of LotR - I can see the similarities indeed! The same kinda sleek hair and a bit of the expression. Although Adler is not inspired by LotR, but actually by the movie Schindler's list. I find that (real) story, so inspiring that I could kinda build it in in my storyline. And I just instantly saw clear pictures of Adler in my mind, after I watched the movie.

Oh? How do Siderians artificially control the prey population?
Will the hyenas only be in Theory of the Mind or will they play a role in the other stories? Like does Stian...interact with them? I do find the Northern hyenas to be very interesting as well, though I kind of like the Siderians a tad more ^^.
I don’t think I ever heard of that film, but it sounds very interesting . If I ever get the chance, I will try to watch it and maybe then I can get the essence of Adler. Um, I am not sure if you can answer this (maybe you can)...but why do Siderians have some a strong connection to music or film? You, Sibera, and River each provide links to songs or voice samples and they fit...and there is one song by Nightwish that gives me a strong impression of Bela (I can even see her posing). It is a wonderful thing, but why does it happen?
Um...the song is Ghost River. I saw her as having a voice similar to Anette Olzon and never could go back.

Sorry took a while to reply
Actually - I don't know what I meant with 'artificial' either. I think in one way...every species influences an ecosystem and artificial is a very arbitrary term.
I think actually, that the prey density is naturally higher around metaclusters because of the ecals that stimulate plant growth.
Ehh well...only a few seem to correlate with movies and movies form a good source of voice references. It seems that music can often open the gates for some siderians to approach you.
It strongly did for Håkan at least. As if he choose music to reach me. He did taht more than anyone else.
