Character Bio:

Spoiler Alert!

The Saar are a race of feline humanoids from the planet Na’Borra that have evolved with uncanny mental abilities. The Saar have developed powerful empathic senses that allowed them to attune to the wildlife and plant-life of their homeland.

Throughout their history, the Saar homeworld has been attacked by more technologically advanced species. However the intense psychic connection of the Saar to each other and their native habitat, and their nature strength and fighting prowess, has allowed to defeat these invaders. The Saar have adapted what technology has remained and have found that their psychic abilities allow them to intuitively learn even from machines and devices.

In recent times, an advanced team of Saar rangers came under attack when scouting out a new enemy force. The felines were quickly overrun by Soulborgs and the strange hybrid of “man-and-machine” played haywire with the Saar’s empathy. As the valiant defenders tried to pull the wounded to safety, they were pulled across space and time to Valhalla by Aquilla.

The Arch-Kyrie General tended to the wounded and found a common bond with the people of Na’bora. The Saar learned of the great battle raging on Valhalla and that the villainous generals were targeting their world as well.

The first to join Aquilla’s army were the “Whisper Scouts,” so named by the Mohican River Tribe, because the Saar are both incredibly stealthy but also, they do not speak - only "whispering into the minds" of their allies. These silent warriors are a highly skilled scouts and marksmen. Their rifles have advanced optical sights and fire a deadly pulse of energy plasma that produces little sound or muzzle flash. The Whisper Scouts are best when coordinating in groups and they have adapted their telepathic abilities to send images and messages to their allies on the battlefield. This allows them to assist other marksmen to coordinate attacks on enemy positions and to relay vulnerabilities in defenses.
