------[-Alterien: Once Was Lost-]

{{Same-Sex Triplets}} - The Sisters of Orion are identical triplets.

{{Arch-Enemy}} - Theseus serves this role for a while against Oberon, especially in the first and third books.

{{Human Aliens}} - The Alteriens, particularly while in their concealed forms, fit this trope quite well. They look completely human, but on the inside are quite different. The primary difference is their blood, which stays blue when exposed to the air. A human's blood is also blue on the inside, but turns red when exposed to the air.

{{Humanoid Aliens}} - Pleiades of the group headed by the Sisters of Orion fits nicely here. He is based on the Nordics of UFO lore in terms of his overall appearance. In addition, he has six digits on each hand and foot rather than five.

[-Alterien: Once Was Lost-]

Alterien is a science fiction series by author, Adam R. Brown. The protagonist is a formerly amnesiac man named Oberon Navarro who discovers \\his true name and that the reason he's apparently as strong and as fast as the average superhuman is because he's an experimental life form called an altered Homo sapien; Alterien, for short. Soon after discovering who he is and what \\he is, Oberon sets out on a mission to ensure his new species multiplies in order to eventually replace the previous version of humanoids, Homo sapiens. Over the course of the series, Oberon faces many challenges, as he learns a \\great deal about what it means to be an Alterien and even rediscovers what it means to be human.

[-Theseus grinned. “We don’t experience emotion to the same level as humans, but you are even less emotional than the others I've found.”

Oberon visibly showed the pique in his interest.

Theseus chuckled. “Yes, it’s true; you are not the only one. I take it you now know enough to make it more interesting should we fight the next time.”

Alterien: Once Was Lost

This series provides examples of:

{{Main/Arch-Enemy}} - Theseus serves this role for a while against Oberon, especially in the first and third books.

Alterien - Book 1 - Once Was Lost (http://www.amazon.com/Alterien-Adam-R-Brown-ebook/dp/B0073M20IS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408734378&sr=8-1&keywords=Alterien)

Alterien - Book 2 - Shadows of the Past (http://www.amazon.com/Alterien-Shadows-Adam-R-Brown-ebook/dp/B00MG8K90K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408734298&sr=8-1&keywords=Alterien+Shadows)

{{Alien Abduction}} - Though this is only hinted at throughout much of the series, Oberon was taken by a person who may not be of this world. In fact, the only real clue he receives about his mysterious former captor is a name, Dr. Grey.

{{Amnesiac Hero}} - The main character, first known as John Lost, has amnesia. In his case, he has no memory of his life prior to the past seven years he's been in the military and later the ISA.

{{Arch-Enemy}} - Theseus serves this role for a while against Oberon, especially in the first and third books.

{{Magical Native American}} - Oberon could be considered this, as he is a mixed Native American. He looks like an attractive Native American with gray eyes and dark brown hair. This trope is somewhat played down in that his abilities are sciene-based rather than magical. However, many humans who witness his abilities in certain time periods regard him as a magical being.

{{One World Order}} - The Alteriens eventually achieve this, albeit on 4D Earth amongst their own people. They essentially become world rulers that are never seen even when they're right in front of you.

{{Super Soldier}} - Oberon was once part of a group of enhanced US soldiers called SABER (Strategic Adaptive Ballistics Engagment and Reconnaissance).

{{We Used to Be Friends}} - Oberon goes up against an assassin who turns out to be a former teammate from his days with SABER. He's a former SABER named Ulysses River. This trope is played down, however, when Oberon flatly states they were never friends.

{{Emerging from the Shadows}} - Theseus Spencer, after remaining completely ananymous behind the attacks Oberon and his partner, Abigail, investigate, reveals himself to the young agent. Theseus had apparently learned all he wanted and revealed his primary focus had been Oberon the whole time.

{{Elevator School}} - The Nu-Age Program Oberon, Helena and Oberon's business partner, Morgan Flaye start leads to the formation of a private education system. The program, which stands for Nurturing Universal Avante-Garde for Excellence, begins with a junior high/senior high level school called Nu-Age STI (School for the Talented and Impassioned). Other schools attached to the program are constructed later.

{{I Will Find You}} - Oberon's elder half-sister, Sharon, stated she'd been looking for him for seven years. They finally reunite in her office after Oberon finally links her identity to a vision he'd had of her.

{{The Fair Folk}} - The Sisters of Orion and another person named Yon'ro are portayed as this when Oberon meets them during what he believes to be a dream.

{{Woman Scorned}} - The plot behind the second and third books of the Alterien series plays this up, though in a slightly different way from the traditional concept. In this version, Oberon has to fight off an assassin and ultimately face a powerful woman who blames him for the death of her best friend years earlier.

{{Super Soldier}} - Oberon was once part of a group of enhanced US soldiers called SABER (Strategic Adaptive Ballistics Engagment and Reconnaissance).
