[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 200126, member: 192"] Repost from the old boards: The history of the Perry Rhodan universe is often influenced by a group of people who has gained immortality as a gift from IT. The most important of these immortals are Perry Rhodan, a terran (and the first man on the moon), and Atlan, an arkonid. Currently, this immortality is achieved by a device called activator chip or cell activator, halts the aging and prevents negative effects of cell division. It is also active against poison and disease. Should the activator chip, which is planted within the shoulder of the immortal, be stolen or somehow else get lost, the immortal has 62 hours to retrieve it before he dies due to accelerated aging. The current cell activators cannot be given to another person without proper readjustment. These cell activators are a gift from IT, a super-intelligence. Should an immortal die, the activator changes into the image of a spiral galaxy and returns to IT. The current immortals are: Perry Rhodan, Terran, American and the first man on the moon in the year 1971. Atlan da Gonozal, Arkonid. The arkonids are a race of humanoids descendant of the lemurians, who in turn are the progenitors of most humanoid races in the milky way and andromeda. Atlan himself has lived on Earth for about 10000 years and secretly aided the humans, so that one day they might build starships and allow him to return to Arkon. Reginald "Bully" Bull, Terran, American. He accompanied Perry Rhodan on his flight to the moon. Julian Tifflor, Terran. Homer G. Adams, Terran. Icho Tolot, a Halutan. The Halutans are a race of huge, four armed humanoids with three eyes, two hearts and two brains. They can raise the density of their body so that it becomes stronger than steel and still move. Though they can be fierce and almost unstoppable warriors, they have become peaceful and mostly politically neutral as long as the galactic peace is not threatened. Michael Reginal Rhodan "Roi Danton", Terran. The second son of Perry Rhodan. Alaska Saedelaere, Terran. He was long known as the "man with the mask", since an accident caused his face to radiate a strange light that would permanently madden other people if they saw his face in full. Gucky (engl. Pucky?), Ilt (Mousebeaver). The last of his race. The Ilts were a race of small creatures that looked like a mix between mice and beavers that walked upright. They possessed a high psionic potential: They always possessed telekinetic powers and had the potential for telepathy and teleportation. Gucky possesses all three powers. Ronald Tekener "The Smiler", Terran Dao-Lin-H'ay, Kartanin. The Kartanin are a race of humanoid felines. Originally from a different, dying universe called Tarkan("The Shrinking"), they immingrated into this universe in two steps. The first step brought a huge spaceship into this universe whose crew had the mission to properly prepare the second step: the transition of a whole galaxy into this universe! Dao-Lin is a descendant of Kartanin of the first wave. Myles Kantor, Terran. Once crippled by an attempted assassination, his body was repaired when he gained his activator chip. He bears a tattoo of a spiral galaxy, which, as he has been told, is an indicator for the proximity of IT. Monkey, Oxtornian. The Oxtornians are descendants of terran colonists who stranded on an extremely hostile world. With the aid of genetic engineering, they adapted to the world which received the name Oxtorne. They look mostly humanoid but have no facial hair and their skin is light brown. Monkey is further special as he has two camera lenses implanted to replace his lost eyes. He was a member of Section Zero of the TLS (the terran secret service) which was founded during the reign of a more radical First Terran (akin to the president), but never used. Gaumarol da Bostich, Arkonid. He would not be an immortal, and in fact be the greatest enemy of Perry Rhodan, if it weren't for the existance of the super-intelligence SEELENQUELL (engl SOUL SPRING). He was the emperor of the Huhany-Tussan (Divine Empire), which was recently founded from the Gos-Tussan (Crystal Empire). He was first enslaved, then dropped by the young super-intelligence. There are currently two free cell activators, carried by the emmisary of IT, Lotho Keraete, who is the only one who can adjust them. The following informations were added by Sword Dancer: [/QUOTE]
