Notable Traits

Morphing Tool

Like his maker, Sabre, Ghost's right arm is made from semi-fluid nanomachines that allow him to change his arm into many forms. Unlike her, his arm does not form weapons but instead produces engineering tools.

Mini-MEC

The most powerful mode of operation Ghost can use is a matter-energy conversion unit normally only found on large ships and in major manufacturing systems. This makes him one of the only people who can create new matter from energy directly to do emergency repairs. Most Asreal, and a number of the inorganic species, consider them to be as close to a physician as they can get.

Engineering Database

Sabre created Ghost with a complete engineering database sans weapons technology based directly on the data that Shadowstalker instilled in Sabre at the time of her creation. This leaves him with an incredible knowledge of spacecraft, engine technology, and even music theory. It also compliments his sensor array to further add to the physician inventor persona that most associate with him.

Advanced Scanning

Only Ghost possesses a sensor array sufficient to diagnose and treat injured Asreal directly. He is a spiritual mimic of Shadowstalker without all the darker elements, and Sabre has been pleased to see him become what she had hoped he might. Ghost can also diagnose a vast number of other technological issues and serve as a mobile scanning unit on trip away from home.

Phase Engine

Given Ghost's tendencies towards ambitious builds and aggressive testing, most will agree that his ability to phase through matter has probably saved his hide routinely. This ability tends to be what most think of when they consider Ghost's name in that he can walk through matter and, in other cases, float about during an explosion and solidify again once the major risk of damage has passed. Ghost's name, in truth, is actually based on the idea of a ghost copy of SHadowstalker with minor edits. this is easily missed because Ghost does not bear stripes or other markings Shadowstalker has because he is based on the immature form of the old P16 SSE Mk2 unit.

Personality

Ghost is noted for being one of the most playful and generally kind Asreal, and he is a little better known for this than Lunith only because he tends to enjoy attention a good deal more. As the only wallaby among the Asreal he lacks a lot of the raw lifting power the larger member's of his kind possess, so he has to rely on tools and help to get a lot of tasks done. This only helps in drawing others in as he is far more disarming than the rest of the Asreal and easy to work with.

ghost loves speed, so it is no surprise he gets along with Fury, and the two often engage in races both as competitors and as a team. Like Shadowstalker, he has a good feel for engines, and he has been building racing systems about as far back as he was awoken. He tests everything to failure with often explosive results, but his stable systems are always reliable.

When he is not building or fixing something, he enjoys people watching and just meandering around the planets of his home system. He is often mistaken for ienthcya because he is the same size and has similar base markings but is vastly stronger compared to them. He likes to explore, and he has sneaked into just about everywhere worth poking his nose into at this point.

Like Fury, Ghost is one of the best Asreal to meet by chance. Friendly, helpful, and generally cheery, he is always willing to lend a hand. Meeting him, however, greatly increases your chances of meeting Fury as well.

The Valiant

Shadowstalker's old combat vessel of some 3000 years now belongs to Ghost. Its original name, the Vengeance 2A, has been changed to reflect its new purpose as a construction and rescue vessel. The Valiant has had its weapon ports emptied in favor of a wide array of tools designed to perform repairs in space. The once massive particle cannon mount is now home to the only capital ship class Matter-Energy Converter fitted to a fighter/interceptor class ship. With Ghost at the helm, the Valiant has served as an emergency response ship that often arrives at sites of emergencies first.

The Valiant is still powered by a massive three stage engine unit including fusion backup power, a chronoton powered time manipulator, and one of the most powerful dark-matter annihilator engines still in operation. Some say the latter could only be kept running by Ghost, and many of the older and more dangerous power plants of that kind have changed in the years after the war. The relatively small Valiant comes in at roughly the size of a space shuttle with only a three seat cockpit and a small living space behind it for the crew and the bulk devoted to power and computing. By comparison, most ships of the same power output would need at least 3-5 acres to settle on if they were to land.

Ghost, based on the oldest ienthcya, continues to pilot the only war-era class ship in the fleet, and its new role serves as positive reinforcement to the idea that the war is over and conditions continue to improve.
