In the vast expanse of the Framandi Alliance universe, Áom stands tall, a humanoid leader whose appearance bears the touch of ancient Mayan art. At 6’3″, Áom’s average framandi height disguises his extraordinary wisdom and influence among his kind.
Transhuman twins Jón and Ásta affectionately call him “Áom” when he’s introduced as the ‘Adviser of Masked.’ Within the framandi community, the ‘Masked’ take on a solemn duty—to keep their species veiled in secrecy amidst the cosmos. A once-thriving planetary system now lies in ruins due to an intergalactic conflict, forcing the framandi to tread cautiously.
In the aftermath, their vigilance heightened as automated gigil drones targeted and obliterated any recognizable space-based technology in their domain, spanning eons of watchful concealment.
With prominent cheekbones, wide foreheads, and slightly elongated heads, the framandi bear an intriguing resemblance to ancient human civilizations. Their large almond eyes, adorned with baggy eyelids, reflect an otherworldly allure. Their mouths, with well-formed thick lips, express a hint of the unknown. The large ears and prominent, flat-tipped noses further distinguish them from their human counterparts.
Beyond these visual markers, it is the long limbs and compact, slim torsos that truly set them apart from humanity. With such physical attributes, the framandi stand as formidable beings, possessing impressive strength and resilience.
As a leader, Áom navigates the complexities of their enigmatic existence with wisdom and strategic acumen. The delicate balance between survival and discovery weighs heavily on his broad shoulders, and he carries the mantle of responsibility with grace.
Within the Framandi Alliance, Áom’s guidance proves invaluable as he aids the twins, Jón and Ásta, and other framandi, in their quest for peace and progress. His character is a tapestry woven from centuries of wisdom, a lifeline for the survival of his species in the face of challenges and adversaries.
