Stargate Characters

Here are the main good guys from the Stargate world. This is not an exhaustive list, just those that I feel had the biggest impact.

ANCIENTS

The Ancients were once a race of advanced humans who were the original architects of the Stargate network. According to the Asgard, they moved on from our part of space long ago. In fact, the Ancients learned to ascend to a higher plane of existence when a great plague swept across the galaxy. Many died out, but those who learned to ascend shed their corporeal form. The Ancients seeded human life on many hundreds of worlds, as they had once done in our galaxy. They lived there for millions of years -- but then they came upon a planet where a powerful enemy slept. The Ancients have ascended into an omni-present, ethereal beings who feel they must remove themselves from interaction with all cultures beneath their non-corporeal plane. To merely interact with an individual beneath is breaking their law. Assisting a lower being in discovering ascension is punished by banishment. Meddling in circumstances that change the direction of a civilization is by far the most dire offence. Though the Ancients are not physically present, their actions have visibly altered the efforts of SG-1, among others. The Atlantis expedition is living in the Ancients' advanced city. Despite the fact that they are non-corporeal, they are still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

NOX

Though they appear to be primitive forest-dwellers, the pacifist, nature-loving Nox are one of the galaxy's oldest and most advanced races. Capable of living hundreds of Earth years, the Nox believe they are symbiotically linked with nature and treasure the world in which they live. Physically, Nox are very similar to humans, though their hair is elaborately different. Both hair and clothing reflect their forest surroundings. Nox stick to a strong code of ethics, believing everything and everyone is sacred. They refuse to take part in any plot to do harm to another if they may be directly responsible. They will not even fight to defend themselves.
