Fictional Biography
Geomancers are a lineage of men and women who, since 3500 BC, have been chosen by the Earth itself to defend it, with only one Geomancer operating at a time. When a Geomancer dies, his or her chosen successor takes their place. When a Geomancer has reached the end of their life-cycle their power is removed by a suicide ritual called Bagh-Nakh.
Geomancers were instrumental in many pivotal events in the Valiant Universe, including the Unity Conflict, the birth and upbringing of Magnus, Robot Fighter, the struggle against the Darque Power, and the Harbinger Wars. Gilad, the Eternal Warrior, has served as the "Fist and Steel" of the Geomancers for most of his immortal life.
Geomancer Tashi Khatun authored a book entitled The Book of Geomancer, the tome of ultimate knowledge.
The first Geomancer was Khanit, who was chosen in 3500 BC. Later Geomancers have included Buck McHenry, Geoff McHenry, Lucinda Mendez, Yuri Pierce, Ana Kawainui, Rokland Tate, Aram Anni-Padda, and Kay McHenry.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
