Terinu

Terinu is a webcomic and print comic series (in Australia) created by Australian Peta Hewitt.

Terinu is a science fiction adventure comic, done in black and white India ink in comic page format. It is the story of the title character, a fifteen-year-old alien boy, the last known member of a genetically engineered slave race, who is a pawn in a brewing galactic war. Many of its themes echo classic Young Adult science fiction novels, though with a somewhat darker edge.

Cast of characters

Main cast

Terinu is a Ferin, a race created to serve the Varn Dominion. He was found as a child by Mavra Chan, floating seemingly unharmed in the vacuum of a destroyed starship. Chan dropped Terinu into the lap of Madame Cher, who at the time was paying protection money to the space pirate. When Terinu was about seven years old, Chan took him aboard her ship, the Celestial Marauder, to be trained as both a pirate and her personal assassin. During this time Chan successfully imprinted herself in Terinu's psyche, making him unconsciously view her as his master, and requiring him to obey her orders to the letter. Terinu's only friend aboard the Marauder was Matt Townsend, a human boy close to Terinu's own age.
