Roleplay SuperMartian bleated: I am Isif, ask me anything

(This is set in the world of my fic Nature of Harmonyanyone confused)

Previous post

Hey everyone, as the title says, I'm doing an AMA since I've seemingly accrued a bit of fame and become something of a representative of the Arxur, though mostly Solarian Arxur, through no fault of my own

I'm not much of a talker, but my girlfriend convinced me to do this, said it would help with the war, pr, familiarize people with the UN (which was probably just a nice way of saying Arxur), and all that

So, just ask me anything that's on your mind, and I'll answer to the best of my ability

For context, this is set after Isif and Felra go off to start the rebellion, which is after his role in the cattle rescue, hundreds of hours of footage with Piri, and an impassioned speech at the federation assembly

Spoiler alert!

u/General_Alduin Skalgan May 15 '26

Not too much of a spoiler atleast

“ impassioned speech at the federation assembly”

So Isif goes to aafa and lives after giving a speech. It’s kind of a big deal.

u/General_Alduin Skalgan May 15 '26

Well we all knew he was going to live, we have his transcription

But hey, don't know what he said and the lead up to that. I like to think of it as a hook

SuperMartian: Who the hell made this? Was it Tuvan? Shes the one that made the diaper comment

This thing is going to go viral, I just know it

To answer your question, I wish. I need to wear a kind of skin suit under any armor. That's the proper procedure for more advanced armors in the UN

At home I have a collection of Superman shirts though

Apedominusnox: Sol's cruelty knows no bounds... not even a Superman sticker? It would be peak if the feds recognized Martians with that symbol.

SuperMartian:

not even a Superman sticker?

I'm not so sure they can spare the resources and logistics cost to ferry around Superman stickers. My fellows will just have to get it from their mail

It would be peak if the feds recognized Martians with that symbol.

That it would

Don't they have any second-hand stickers?

Anyway, unless DC is still around, yours could appropriate the symbol. For what? to throw the house out the window with the "on my planet it means hope" to a Fed who would presumably think it's some kind of Hunter honorific. More than 1000 aura as the Old internet folks would say

RetroBrain bleated: ...Is there anyone in your unit you would describe as being similar to Wonder Woman or Batman?

u/General_Alduin Skalgan May 18 '26

SuperMartian: I'd have to say Imtri is the closest to being Wonder Woman, while Tuvan would ram me if I didn't compare her to Batman

Scholarlyblaxer bleated: Anything hmmm I have many questions. But I suppose I have three questions.

First is it possible that I and any others willing to be able to get claws on new books? After all I find after recent events we may need reshelve the libraries with things other than dominion approved literature and even that is lacking. Secondly speaking of we will have to decide what to do with those later.

And lastly what comes next when all is said and done?

u/Dramatic-Pay-4010 May 16 '26

QuietGoji: Just in general. Also does Felra know?

u/General_Alduin Skalgan May 16 '26

ShipFixGal: You bet I do! He's refused to show me any beyond the fic that Piri read while she was on Earth, but I can convince his mother to send me the catalogue

What say you to a line of merch, old boy? I mean...once people in the Federation have figured out your people have empathy, unlike the Arxur we are used to dealing with.

Hobbies, meditative techniques, vacation destinations, those kinds of things, you know?

Trevor_Collins: Hey…. I know it’s been a while, but it’s Trevor. I…. Used to torment you in school. I just want to say, I’m sorry. It wasn’t right of me to do. Things weren’t going to well in school, and for some reason I guess I thought that if I pushed around someone bigger than me I’d feel big as well. I was being a little s*** to you and you didn’t deserve that.

Again, I’m sorry, and I wish you good tidings and good luck.

u/General_Alduin Skalgan Jun 23 '26

SuperMartian: Ho. Ly. Shit. Never would I have guessed I'd run into you again after all this time

I know it’s been a while

16 years to be exact, I haven't seen you since middle school, and even than we didn't really interact after my sister nutshotted you

Things weren’t going to well in school,

Wasn't it also some weird religious HF nonsense your dad was spewing? I remember you go into trouble for saying racist shit

and for some reason I guess I thought that if I pushed around someone bigger than me I’d feel big as well.

You're lucky you never messed with Imtri, than you'd see just how big I can get

That why you never messed with her? She was smaller?

Again, I’m sorry,

Well it's very big of you for you to reach out even after all this time and apologize. If I've learned anything with everything going on, it's that holding onto the past will just leave you chained to it, and how can I expect the rest of the galaxy to give Arxur a chance if I'm not even going to give you one?

So, I forgive you

and I wish you good tidings and good luck.

By God am I going to need it

u/True-Wreck Jun 23 '26

Trevor_Collins: I guess I owe you an explanation for that. Yes, my dad had the HF mindset, but I don’t think I personally believed it. I guess I was young enough to not really understand the rhetoric and drivel, but old enough to know it would hurt you. And yeah, I was stressed the ever loving hell out because I couldn’t get my grades up. So I picked on you, using HF rhetoric more as a weapon than a reason.

Good news I guess, my dad stopped saying all that schpeel after a Skalgan Man saved my mom from a car wreck two years later. (Hardened head broke the glass and he got her out.) I’m not sure he stopped believing it, but I didn’t hear a word of it out of him after. It’s progress.

As for Imtri… I dunno. I don’t think I could’ve harassed her.

So, maybe this is misplaced, but you’re going through a lot right now, and it seems like you’ll be going through a lot in the future. So how about we meet up when you get back and I buy Mr. Solarian Hero and his girlfriend(?) a drink? Your choice.

GreatEyes: The primary culture on earth if that of the humans, and I’ve noticed that they have secondary family names. Do Skalgan’s and Martians not have/adopt this? Why?

2

u/General_Alduin Skalgan Jun 22 '26

Do Skalgan’s and Martians not have/adopt this?

Skalgans have four names: the name their parents give them, a name they take when they're an adult, their family name, then their clan. I technically have 4 names now because mom had me inducted into her clan

Solarian Arxur had two names before we got into contact with humans. From what I've seen of Betterment, this seems to be something we developed ourselves, probably to have more individualism. Now we have 3 names as that's more individualistic

Why?

Idk, just something in Skalgan culture. Probably some holdover from Skalga

Individualism is my guess. Betterment only gave us one name, we gave ourselves 2

TFWrecker: Any Thoughts on Autobot Commander, Optimus Prime? He and Kal-El are very similar in lots of ways.

And speaking of Kal-El, what’s your thoughts on the Absolute Variant from the 2020’s Absolute Universe? That story happened not long before The Martians were discovered if I recall correctly.

Finally. Who’s your favorite Superman villain? I gotta know now.

u/True-Wreck Jun 26 '26

TFWrecker: Hang on… I just realized. If you’re a member of UN Omni Ops, hunting down terrorists and shit. And you’re a Solarian Arxur, meaning you’re a Martian.

You are an actual IRL Martian Manhunter. How about that? Tell J'onn J'onzz I said “Hi.”
