Infamy Ascending

What does it look like when the villain wins?

Aria Knight knows that for every problem there is a solution. Learning from the failures of others, she uses tactical and strategic plans to take whatever comes her way. The Cromah Republic and its foolish belief in democracy has developed an arrogance she means to put to rest. The Huscarn Empire is strong, but Aria can see a path to make it the ultimate, lone power in the world.

In the Imperial Huscarn Navy she has swiftly risen through the ranks, and once she gains command she sets her sights ever higher. Unwilling to accept mediocrity, Aria uses kindness, deviousness, manipulation, intent, and just a touch of magic to propel her toward the destiny she believes to be hers. Any who stand in her way must step aside, fall in line, or be destroyed, by any means necessary.
