Chsheket may look like a red-haired human woman, but she actually is a female martian in a metallic body. She plays a major role in Martian Dreams.

Description[edit]

Her plant body died a long time ago, while her spirit was trapped in the Dream-World, acting as the ambassador of Hellas. Like all of the inhabitants of Hellas, she was strictly against stealing the bodies of other living beings. The Avatar and the party later constructed a metallic body for her spirit to return to reality, since a plant body couldn't be regrown, which was made clear after the horrible end of Prektesh. Thankful for being able to again experience the real world, she accompanied the party on their quest, helping reinstitute the water supply of Mars in the pumping station, since her body was very strong and immune to many adverse conditions.[1]

Chsheket's body later was perfected to look fully human with the help of Sarah Bernhardt’s skill with makeup. Dr. Spector, blushing at her nudity, provided clothes. She left Mars after her remaining people got shells like hers and, 100 years later, she met the Avatar and Dr. Spector to give them instructions on how to begin the quest by travelling into the past with the Orb of the Moons in order to close the time loop.

Trivia[edit]

  • Curiously, martian berries are able to affect her, despite her metallic form.
  • Her uncovered shell strongly resembles the female robot Maschinenmensch from the German 1927 film, Metropolis.
  • The original paining of Chsheket in the introduction (before it was digitalised) can be seen in the gallery below.
  • When asking Dr. C.L. Blood to heal or resurrect her, he will call Nikola Tesla, since she is a technological problem. Tesla's work also always works.
