About: Much of Queenie’s past is a mystery, and she’d like to keep it that way, thank you very much. All that can be said for certain is that she is -furious- about her death and dedicates her entire being to seeking revenge against the StarShooters that killed her and the Shooter empire as a whole. She is zealous to a fault, harnessing vengeance as a call to arms for anyone that will listen, and surprisingly, she’s collected quite a few people that will listen. She’s crass and conniving and cruel, but lawful and protective. Her views are very ‘with me or against me’, and that dichotomy carries over into her leadership, for better or worse. (I mean, she will practice peace and diplomacy where necessary, but she is ready to make it known how salty she is over it.) Otherwise, she makes a hobby of “living it up”, as it were, surrounding herself with riches and concubines and (real or fabricated) power.

StarRobber government style: As of now, there isn't actually much a unified government for the StarRobbers. The race itself is still one of the smallest in terms of population, and its members are scattered so sporadically around Jo'Arca that most likely go about their un-lives without even knowing about their proverbial government. Many StarRobbers themselves would also not necessarily consider themselves a separate race, often clinging to the memories of their former lives. It is actually only that the other races have begun to consider StarRobbers as a race unto themselves...and not just simply an undead blight of other races that needs to be put down, but even this is met with hesitation from some of the other stardragon races. The decision to allow a StarRobber representative into the leader's council has only occurred a few years back (Queenie had herself approached the council), and a decision that has left some of the other leaders divided as some seem more enthusiastic to bring the Robbers under a unified umbrella while others feel suspicious.

Which may not be too far fetched because unknown to the other council races, Queenies empire is less a nation of land or a unified race but actually the largest underground crime ring in Jo'Arca. A vast network of gangs and criminals, its fingers extend to just about every corner of the globe. As such, while many StarRobbers are unaware of an actual government, it isn't too uncommon for them to be at least aware of tales regarding a sanctuary and place for them to turn to when the rest of society has shunned them as Queenie's underground empire is one of the few places currently where Robbers are not only treated with equal status but also more likely to be given places of power. The other major sanctuary being the StarRobber circus of Oriens, but that’s another story.

Queenie is determined, sharing many of the ideals taught by followers of Helgin. Equality, justice, vengeance, respect, power, and a pinch of chaos. Her passion often overshadows her empathy, taking a more "all's fair" approach in taking back what she feel is owed to the Robbers. Her morality and methods may be skewed, but she believes in protecting one's own, and above all else, making the Starshooters pay for the injustices carried out against her and her followers.
Operating more like a mafia family and extended network of criminals and spies, StarRobbers aren't exactly sure what is to come as far as the future style of government. The queenpin seems to be gearing for war and an eventual rise to power over the Shooter empire, but not much else is said for plans beyond that. Does she have a plan? Is she just some crazy spiteful warrior leading these rebels to their doom? It's a little unclear, and widely concerning for those who don't subscribe to her beliefs. At the very least, she runs a tight crime syndicate, so if the forward facing politician plan doesn’t work out, there’s still that.

Some would say Queenie's decision to step forward and take a representative spot among the other leaders is nothing more than another way to publicly make her presence more known to the undead race...so as to gain more followers. They may not be wrong.

Religion: Much like the government, the StarRobber race tends to consist of so many variety of former StarDragons that there is not really much of a unified religion. That said, you would be hard pressed to find a robber who does not acknowledge Helgin's influence, via praise or condemnation. Some see their second life as a burden, a curse that's changed them from who they once were into who they are now, and curse Helgin's name with resentment. Others see it as a blessing, a second change to make amends, or to keep up a goal they had in their first life. Robbers that recall memories of their former life tend to stick to their old faiths, with a lot of focus on Helgin.
Queenie herself is somewhat of a zealot, considering herself a prophet of Helgin's and carrying out vengeful acts in his name. She openly claims him as the patron of her operation and invites her underlings to do the same. Whether or not she truly believes or is just using him as a symbol to figurehead her righteous vendetta is certainly in question, but never given enough evidence one way or the other. It's best not to ask her. For your neck's sake.
Recently there has been reports of a of Robbers who have taken to worshiping Hylcinth, the goddess of life. The group follows an the thought that since their actions in life gained the attention of Helgin thus causing them to transform into this state...if they revere and honour Hylcinth with their second un-life they may somehow gain her attention and will be gifted their living forms again. This particular cult tends to consist of reclusive pacifists, living in secluded monasteries of the countryside where the majority of their time is spent in worship and studying of the healing arts. Their primary action with the outside world is how they will grow an assortment of crops and medicinal herbs which a few times a year they will descend from their monastery in fully hooded robes to deliver to the local villages.
Queenie believes these Hylth cultists to be "fucking weirdos", but otherwise refrains from comment.
