History
Written by: Joshua W. Murcray
Her Royal Majesty, Queen D'Chianna, (like her twin-brother, His Royal Highness Prince J'Ashuri), is an unusual hybrid of science and mysticism. Both were born prematurely and deformed on the day The Great Reset began and, because of this, doctors believed they would not survive infancy. Unfortunately, their mother, Queen Hi'Pamyta died in childbirth despite the doctors best efforts.
However, the Kingdom of Themykanda, having been hidden from the rest of the planet for thousands of years, has a thriving community that had some of the greatest doctors and medical scientists in the world as well as having some of the most powerful shamans from tribes who sought protection from colonization in older times. Together the kingdom had the most advanced science and engineering in the world, even somehow meshing it with what others would call "magic".
When confronted with a prince and princess whose deformities meant certain death, King T'Zhaku Portochaka called for Dr. Jaq Samson, the most prestigious medical doctor on Eden, to perform a special reshaping ceremony for the newborns.
Under the direction of Dr. Samson, ancient recipes using a Divine Herb from the Astral Plane, were used to bioengineer a biological clay. As it was applied to the babies, new bodies were shaped and formed by the skillful hands of Ramonda Phillipus, a famous sculptor.
Once the new forms were finished, as nearly the entire population of the Kingdom of Themykanda chanted mystical prayers around the temple, the babies were placed in a fluorochemical perfluorooctyl bromide bath. Within minutes the babies were removed, whole, perfect in form...and with blue eyes!
It was Ramonda Phillipus, the sculptor who formed the new babies, that first noticed at the Presentation (a formal revealing of the babies to the public) the babies were larger than they should be for only being two-days old. When she told the doctors, they tried to tell her she was envisioning things, but Dr. Samson heard her arguing with the doctors and stepped in. Taking her with him, they went to examine the babies and take measurements. Right away, it became obvious that Ramonda was right. The babies were growing faster than normal.
King T'Zhaku, who was still mourning the loss of his wife, ordered that if the children were growing faster, then their minds may be as well. Since she was the first to notice, Ramonda was placed in charge of organizing the care for, training and education of the twins, preparing for an accelerated pace of life for the two.
When D'Chianna and her brother were five-years-old, but looked and acted like 10-year-olds, their father, King T'Zhaku married Ramonda Phillipus making her Queen of Themykanda.
The twins were trained daily in all areas from fighting techniques to poetry. From tactics and strategies to psychology and therapy sessions. As one of them was expected to become the next Ruler & Protector of Themykanda, and because of their sped-up growth, they were being trained in all areas that rulers were suppose to be knowledgeable in. Through their training their enhanced abilities began to shine through early on. Their bath at birth had altered their bodies, making them the pinnacle of human physiology and abilities. Their strength, speed, agility, durability, healing, stamina and reflexes were all at the top of human perfection at all times, but their coordination and understanding of how to use their physical abilities was still in need of training.
During the Aftermath and Long Winter, D'Chianna and J'Ashuri were often sent out among the people helping with farming, rebuilding homes, adding rooms to existing buildings to accomodate the immigrants that had made it in, and in maintaining and upholding the law as they sometimes joined in the hunt for a criminal or in an investigation.
It was nine years after The Great Reset when the twins were called to their fathers private library. Physically, they were fully grown, having reached the physical age of 18. Together, they walked in to see their father who sat them down and told them of the true history of their nation...and of the Protector, "Bastaphro", who had not been seen in a decade. It was at this time that King T'Zhaku revealed that he was Bastaphro and that their god, Bastaphrꜵ granted amazing powers to the one they deemed worthy of the throne and responsibilities of protector of the realm. This was a solemn and permanent role.
King T'Zhaku went on to say that the person NOT chosen was not less, not unimportant, but someone who would be more in-tune with the people and a tether to the nations population that would help the King or Queen not become so overcome with power. Both duties, whether chosen or not, are sacred and a heavy responsibility. And it was time for the mantle and power to be transferred to one of them.
D'Chianna and J'Ashuri had seen the signs that their father was aging and not as spry as he used to be. The Atomic Particle Wave had affected him and, while his enhanced physique had saved him from a lot of the damage, his age meant his enhancements were already fading. Healing from the Atomic Particle Wave had taken a lot of effort and his body no longer was being supported by it. Together they held hands and stood straight and tall, and nodded to their father, the king, with tears in their eyes. They both knew that once one of them was Chosen, their father would die.
Queen Ramonda Phillipus-Portochaka walked in with Dr. Jaq Samson and stood at either side of King T'Zhaku holding the same Divine Herb from the Astral Plane that had been used at their Reforming. While information on the exact ritual performed here, Queen D'Chianna will only state that Bastaphrꜵ physically entered the room and Chose her to become the new Queen of Themykanda and Bastaphra, protector of the realm.
King T'Zhaku Portochaka died with a smile on his face after seeing his daughter and son be Blessed by their god, knowing his kingdom would continue. Queen Ramonda became the Queen-Advisor to D'Chianna and J'Ashuri became Speaker of the People. Together, the three of them would sustain, build and grow the nation and when the Long Winter ended, and the other nations began to once more spread out above ground, Themykanda once more opened their paths, removed the Barrier Walls, and joined the world in its mission to rebuild better, smarter, and unified.

Divine Herbal Bolstered Physiology:
D'Chianna was originally enhanced by the Divine Herb from the plane of existence that the gods live in, which granted her, and her twin brother, enhanced physiology and powers. Her body is enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical perfection. She was given additional powers by the god/dess Bastaphrꜵ. Aside from her senses, D'Chianna's natural strength, speed, agility, durability, healing, stamina, and reflexes have been augmented to a near-divine degree.
Agility: D'Chianna's equilibrium, balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels superior to any Olympic-level athlete that has ever competed. This gives her cat-like agility. D'Chianna has been seen to run barefoot on utility pole wires, and leap across an entire city.
Animal Empathy: Granted by Bastaphrꜵ. She has the ability to communicate with all forms of animals (including dinosaurs) and her presence alone can bring a raging beast to a calm standstill. She is also able to directly command wild animals when needed.
Avatar Knowledge: After being christened "Bastaphra", D'Chianna has the power to draw on all the knowledge, strength, and every experience from every previous Avatar of Bastaphrꜵ.
Durability: Granted by Bastaphrꜵ. D'Chianna's skin, muscle, and bone tissues are augmented to levels that are much denser and harder than normal humans possessing a high resistance to damage and magical attacks. She has a high resistance to injury, pain and has an amazing ability to heal at a superhuman rate. She has considerable resistance to human weaponries. She has survived being punched from Sol back to Eden. She survived the pressure of a black hole, one that light explicitly couldn't escape from. She withstood the radiation and heat of a nuclear reactor about to blow.
_____Regenerative Healing: D'Chianna's enhanced healing speed and capabilities allows him to have a conditioned metabolism and immune system that enables extraordinarily efficient healing. After becoming an Avatar for Bastaphrꜵ: Like Eden, D'Chianna is constantly renewing herself, allowing her to quickly heal mild to moderate injuries at an accelerated rate. Her normal regenerative abilities allow her to recover from an injury within seconds to minutes. She possesses an incredible immunity from poisons, toxins, as well as disease.
_____Regenerative Force Field: D'Chianna possesses a passive force field that accelerates the healing process of the people around her. It can range from healing superficial wounds to prevent the death of humans fallen into a black hole.
Empathy: Granted by Bastaphrꜵ. "The Sight of The People" apparently grants her increased insight. For example, D'Chianna can often detect others' emotions, and is now so fully immune to illusions that she usually is not even aware of what illusions are being projected.
Longevity: D'Chianna possesses a longer lifespan than regular humans though far from Immortality.
Reflexes: After becoming an Avatar for Bastaphrꜵ, D'Chianna's reaction time is beyond the natural limits of an Olympic-level athlete, allowing her to dodge a barrage of gunfire from multiple opponents at point-blank range with ease. Vigilante once noted that her reflexes are superior to that of Superion.
Senses: Granted by Bastaphrꜵ, D'Chianna's eyesight, hearing, taste, touch and smell have become highly acute, although not superhumanly so like Hellion's.
_____Hearing: D'Chianna's hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling her to detect sounds normal humans cannot and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances.
_____Sense of Smell Hearing: Her sense of smell enables her to recognize people/objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. She can track a target by scent and track them to the exact location, can smell fear, and detect if someone is lying by change in body odor. D'Chianna can memorize tens of thousands of scents.
_____Taste: D'Chianna's sense of taste is sensitive to the point that she is able to taste the exact ingredients of any particular food she is eating.
_____Vision: She can see with greater clarity and greater distances than any ordinary human. Her vision extends into the ultraviolet and infrared areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing her to see in near-total darkness and retain the same level of clarity. She also possess the "Hunters Eye" which allows her to always hit her mark. She can also see far greater distances than any normal human.
Speed: Flight: Gifted unto her by Bastaphrꜵ, D'Chianna possesses the power to fly at high speeds, reaching up to Mach-3 unaided.
Speed: Land: D'Chianna usually is seen running at speeds of 35 mph on up to 65 mph. When in combat or racing to battle, she has been clocked at roughly Mach-3 (3,675.13 kph). At her max, when racing Lightstreak, or when speed is of the essence, she can reach her upper limit of 25,100 miles per hour (40,394.53 kilometers per hour) which is Escape Velocity on Eden. She also can attack faster than the eye can follow. Her combat speed seems more enhanced than anything else, as she has frequently kept up with other enemies in combat, and blitzed people before they pulled their trigger fingers.
Stamina: D'Chianna's can last a great deal of time in any fight and with virtually anyone. She has held her own in combat with foes as powerful as a Superion clone. She doesn't tire out, as her body produces no lactic acids in her muscles, granting her exceptional endurance, and lung capacity. Her lung capacity is at peak human levels, enabling her to hold her breath underwater for 6 minutes. She was able to run for 15 miles in a City of Nieuw Amsterdam sewer with little to no fatigue toxins begin to impair her.
Strength: D'Chianna's strength is enhanced to beyond the peak of human potential. Before she was Blessed by the leopard god/dess Bastaphrao, her strength was beyond peak human. Her physical strength was noticeably superior to any Olympic-class weightlifter and far superior to normal humans, allowing her to press lift approximately 800 lbs. (363 kgs). Her legs can extend with her strength enabling her to vertically leap approximately 10 feet off the ground and 15 feet in a standing broad jump. She can bulldog a 3,000 lb. black rhinoceros, and a 5-ton black rhinoceros. She has been seen to easily lifting a grown man with one arm and throwing him, tearing through a thin wall with just one hand, and wrestling a 20-foot-long crocodile while using both of her hands.
Since her Blessing, D'Chianna is strong enough to punch mountains, throw tanks, and go toe-to-toe with other powerhouses like Superion. While in Themykanda her strength is increased to near-divine levels, even making her strong enough to pull someone out of a black hole in space.

This can lead to difficulties in forming deep connections and trusting others. Overconfidence: Her confidence and assertiveness can sometimes tip into arrogance, causing her to underestimate challenges or overlook potential dangers. Impulsiveness: Bastaphra's adaptable and spontaneous nature can lead to impulsive decisions, which might put herself or others at risk. Emotional Suppression: She may suppress her emotions to maintain control, potentially leading to emotional numbness or explosive outbursts. Overprotectiveness: Bastaphra's strong sense of responsibility and protectiveness can become overbearing, causing her to micromanage or restrict others' freedom. Resistance to Feedback: Her confidence and assertiveness can make her resistant to constructive criticism or feedback, hindering her growth and self-awareness.

Weapons
Lasso: Made of woven 8thbranium and gold, as a gift from her stepmother, Bastaphra's Lasso is unbreakable.
Lomoya Patch: An extremely powerful and versatile PDA. In one instance, Bastaphra called up a schematic of a jumbo jet's cockpit controls and took command of the plane, landing the plane safely in a river. "Lomoya" is Zulu for "of the spirit".
Tiara: Bastaphra's golden tiara, that she wears during ceremonial functions, also doubles as a throwing weapon, as it is razor-edged and can cut through most substances
Spear of Mbada Mweusi: An 8thbranium spear first used by the second Bastaphrꜵ avatar, King Mbada Mweusi, and passed down from protector to protector down the royal line of Themykanda.
Other weapons: Swords, spears, shields, knives, clubs, bows, and quivers of arrows. A large variety of firearms and other weapons used for close range, as well as technological weapons and devices such as a large power glove.
Equipment
Invisible Jet: D'Chianna possesses a jet capable of rendering itself completely invisible to the human eye. The invisible jet is forged with 8thbranium, making it almost indestructible.
Leopard Habit:
As chieftess and monarch of the Themykandan Leopard Clan, the ruler is crowned with a ceremonial regalia in the form of a 8thbranium-laced leopard habit. D'Chianna received this cat-like garb after being judged by the Leopard God/Goddess, Bastaphrꜵ. The appearance of the suit has changed over time but has retained its ability to absorb vibrations via its 8thbranium lacing, as well as negate or lessen powerful kinetic based attacks such as bullet shots, penetrating blades, and crushing blows. The lenses in the mask cut glare and enhance Bastaphra's already Enhanced Vision. The suit features:
_____8thbranium Energy Daggers: Energy constructed blades, the wielder can gauge between power levels, releasing a beam, powerful enough to slice through various structures and foes. This weapon can also be fired as a projectile. Energy daggers are D'Chianna's default weapon of choice in armed combat situations.
_____8thbranium Microweave Mesh: The microweave robs incoming objects of their momentum; bullets do not ricochet off, but simply fall to the ground when they encounter the weave. Likewise, Bastaphra cannot be stabbed; however, the costume can be cut if the attacker slashes along the uniform's grain.
_____Anti-Metal Claws: The Claws in the gloves are made of Themykandan 8thbranium-based "Anti-Metal" that can break down basically all metals at the molecular level.
_____Disguise Technology: The cloak can be elongated, shortened or eliminated with a thought, and the entire costume can be reconfigured by a light energy pulse allowing it to pass as normal street clothes or render D'Chianna completely invisible.
_____Energy-Dampening Boots: Energy regulators create varying fields from the 8thbranium in the molded soles of the boots, enabling Bastaphra to land soundlessly without any injury from heights of 50 feet. Given enough momentum, Bastaphra can also scale walls or skim across water. The field can be also used offensively to shatter or weaken objects, or defensively to rob incoming objects of their momentum as shown when she stopped a car thrown by Red General from crushing her by using the 8thbranium in her boots.
_____Force Push: D'Chianna can use the stored kinetic energy in her suit to either enhance her strikes or release it as an omnidirectional energy burst.
_____Hard-Light Shielding: D'Chianna was shown using a small shield comprised of hardened light, to defend herself and others as part of his standard gear.
_____Teleportation Device: D'Chianna has also been shown using a teleportation device as part of her standard gear. The range is not known as of this moment.
