Aen'thosPrimal of Time
The Primals
Nine primordial intelligences born from the fracturing of the Void, each embodying a fundamental force that shapes existence. The original Aetherians, they are not gods, nor rulers, but eternal constants, unknowable, vast, and bound to the laws they represent. Mortals cannot perceive them directly, nor do the Primals walk among the living. Their influence flows instead through the Secondborn, beings uplifted to act as bridges between the mortal world and the Primals. Together, the Primals maintain the fragile equilibrium of reality, watching in silence as creation unfolds, intervening only when balance itself is threatened.
Nae’Ana
Home World: Valadan
Race: Valadari
Age: 17
The first of the Secondborn Aetherians, mortals uplifted to stand as equals beside the Primals. As the first to emerge, she became the primary point of contact between the Primals and the living universe, carrying their presence directly into creation. Through Nae’Ana, balance was guided by communion rather than command. Her existence reshaped the relationship between creation and its architects. Now sealed, she remains a serene and immutable resonance, bound to forces that continue to shape reality long after her silence.
Ishdar
Home World: Valadan
Race: Valadari
Age: 38
Father of Nae’Ana and a mortal of quiet strength, remembered for a presence that steadied those around him without force or command. A man of few words, he moved through life with deliberate calm, his decisions measured and his resolve unshaken. Within his village, he was respected for consistency and restraint. Though his life left no mark upon the wider cosmos, his influence endured through Nae’Ana. In her, his stillness became purpose, and his strength found form beyond the span of his years.
Lina
home world: Valadan
Race: Valadari
Age: 35
Mother of Nae’Ana and a mortal of quiet warmth, whose presence brought harmony where others brought certainty. Intuitive and deeply kind, she moved through Alluvial Hollow with a gentleness that seemed to resonate with its living crystals. Her insight reached beyond words, easing burdens before they were spoken and offering comfort without demand. Within her community, she was known for compassion and understanding. Her influence endured through Nae’Ana, shaping a compassion that would echo far beyond her own years.
Kydar
home world: valadan
Race: Valadari
Age: 9
Brother of Nae’Ana and a mortal child of restless curiosity, carrying a boldness that contrasted sharply with his parents’ calm and warmth. Drawn to the edges of the known, he was often found exploring forbidden caverns, tracing ridge lines, or voicing questions others left unasked. Where Ishdar offered steadiness, and Lina offered harmony, Ky’dar embodied motion and wonder. Though young, his presence brought energy and unpredictability to those around him, reflecting a spirit unbound by caution and shaped instead by an instinct to seek what lay just beyond reach.
Pitra
home world: valadan
Race: Valadari
Age: 7
Sister of Nae’ana and a mortal child of lightness and wonder, moving through Alluvial Hollow like a living melody. Light-footed and laughter-laced, she carried an effortless joy that drew others toward her. The crystals of the Hollow seemed to respond to her presence, their subtle shifts of hue and tone echoing her voice as if she were part of their resonance. Though young, her spirit brought softness and delight to those around her, a quiet harmony that lingered long after her footsteps faded.
The Erebus
Instability, Distortion, Oblivion, Forgetfulness, Despair, Finality, Stagnation, Collapse, Silence
Where the Primals shaped existence with purpose, the Erebus emerged as reversion. Born from the tearing of the Void, it was not a creation, but a consequence, an ache of absence that refused to fade. From that wound arose nine inverted expressions, each mirroring a Primal through negation. These were not separate beings, but facets of a single will, always speaking with one voice of unraveling. The Erebus does not seek dominion or balance. Its sole purpose is to unmake all that exists and return creation to the still nothing from which it was torn.
Xalrion
Home world: Axios
Race: Axiari
Age: 390
A Secondborn entrusted with the guardianship of the Askar Sector, her charge defined by vigilance rather than rule. One of only three Secondborn who specialize in spatial anomalies, she was called to investigate irregularities manifesting at Irisvale, where distance, boundary, and orientation began to behave unpredictably. Her approach is measured and exacting, guided by attunement rather than force. Where others confront visible threats, Xalrion observes what bends unseen, ensuring that space itself remains coherent and aligned long after her presence fades.
Marion
home world: Elyra
Race: Elyrian
Age: 63
A Secondborn specializing in spatial anomalies, one of only three entrusted with their study and containment. A field tactician from the Remos region, he is often dispatched to newly formed planets where spatial distortions emerge during early stabilization. His work is conducted in motion rather than observation, favoring direct presence amid volatile environments. Where others chart anomalies from afar, Marion moves within them, mapping their behavior through experience and precision. His methods ensure that nascent worlds achieve coherence before instability can take root.
Niamh
home world: ossrya
Race: Ossyrae
Age: 201
A Secondborn specializing in spatial anomalies, the third of only three entrusted with their study. Originating from the Dryllior Sector, he was documenting the collapse of a star when distortions began to manifest beyond expected stellar behavior. His work centers on observation at the threshold of destruction, where gravity, distance, and structure falter under immense strain. Methodical and patient, Niamh records what others cannot remain near long enough to witness. Through his documentation, patterns emerge that guide future intervention where space itself begins to fail.
Sylva
home world: faeleth
Race: Felari
Age: 12
Chief Archivist of Val’ir, one of the twin capital cities of the Thelys region on Faeleth. Entrusted with the preservation of her people’s history, she oversees the recording, safeguarding, and interpretation of generations of knowledge. Her role is not merely custodial, but curatorial—ensuring that memory remains intact, accurate, and unaltered by time or politics. Within Val’ir, her authority rests not on command, but on trust, as the past itself is shaped by the care with which she preserves it.
Serilda
home world: faeleth
Race: Felari
Age: 11
Chief Archivist of Val’erith, the second of the twin capital cities of the Thelys region on Faeleth. Where others seek to preserve history unchanged, he believes memory is shaped by perspective and must remain fluid. Under his guidance, records are not fixed artifacts, but living reflections that evolve as understanding deepens. His stewardship challenges the notion of a singular truth, embracing reinterpretation as essential to growth. Within Val’erith, his authority lies in insight rather than preservation, ensuring that the past remains relevant rather than immutable.
Rhydian
Home World: Elyra
Race: Elyrian
Age: 52
A Secondborn Resonance Keeper trained to heal rifts between different groups, not just worlds. When borders are contested and histories collide, he listens for the underlying dissonance behind the violence. His expertise is in resolving territorial disputes, helping rival civilizations find coexistence through restoring emotional and cultural balance. Calm, patient, and compassionate, Rhydian believes that conflict often stems from unresolved pain rather than hatred. He does not forcibly impose peace but resonates with it, enabling harmony to blossom where it seemed impossible.
Cleresia
Home World: Avoris Caela
Race: Avari
Age: 27
A Secondborn Field Empath whose gift lies in harmonic attunement, the ability to sense, interpret, and stabilize emotional resonance in volatile environments. Embedded alongside diplomats, healers, and protectors, she absorbs emotional turbulence before it can fracture alliances or ignite violence. Her presence calms crowds, steadies warriors, and grounds the grieving. Though her work is quiet and often unseen, Cleresia bears the hidden cost of carrying others’ pain within herself. She endures so harmony may hold, believing empathy to be the strongest force in any conflict.
Qal’or
Home world: Threxar
Race: Arthrex
Age: 2
A Secondborn Archivist devoted to ancestral coherence, the preservation of cultural memory across generations. He ensures that histories remain whole, unfractured by loss, conquest, or revision. Through resonance-bound records and living memory threads, Qal’or safeguards lineage, tradition, and identity, believing a people cannot endure if they forget who they were. Quiet and meticulous, he works behind the turning of ages, repairing breaks in inherited memory before they become erasure. To Qal’or, continuity is not stagnation, but the anchor that allows civilizations to evolve without losing their soul.
Byorg
Home world: Volcanus Alpha
Race: Volryx
Age: 813
A Secondborn Watcher forged on the molten world of Volcanus Alpha, where endurance is learned before purpose. He is tasked with observing cosmic anomalies, events, entities, and disturbances that defy known order. By ancient mandate, he records without interference, even when catastrophe unfolds before him. His archives are precise, unemotional, and absolute. Beneath his volcanic composure lies constant restraint, for Byorg understands the danger of influence. To watch is to witness truth unaltered, and he bears that burden so the universe may be understood as it truly is.
Ji’lan
Home world: Vespara
Race: Pelagari
Age: 147
A Secondborn and an elder Attunement Steward of Vespara, guardian of the subtle harmonics that bind ocean, world, and people. Through deep resonance with planetary currents, Ji’lan maintains balance between Vespara’s living seas and its inhabitants. Patient and deliberate, they guide younger stewards to listen rather than command, believing attunement is an act of humility. Their long life has taught them that worlds speak softly, and only those willing to still themselves can hear when a planet is in pain.
Caelira
Home world: Vespara
Race: Pelagari
Age: 97
A Secondborn and the coordinator of the Field Divergence Archives on Vespara. She manages the collection and analysis of data from unstable or fractured resonance events. When harmony breaks or splinters, she investigates the cause, tracking emotional, cultural, and environmental deviations before they lead to disaster. Combining strong analytical skills with deep intuition, Caelira links raw field reports to create a cohesive long-term archive. She views divergence not as inherently destructive but as a warning, proof of change that requires understanding rather than suppression.
Nymera
home world: elyra
Race: Elyrian
age: 37
An elder of the Memory Keepers, devoted to preserving memory as sacred and inviolate. Young in cycles yet ancient in presence, she carries the weight of lineage with quiet reverence. When whispers of distortion spread through Gaelian, she was among the first to sense the violation, not as error, but as desecration. To Nymera, memory is identity itself, and to alter it is to unmake a people. Her grief is restrained, her resolve unyielding, and her fear lies not in change, but in forgetting the cost of truth.
Mei’peh
Home world: Elyra
race: elyrian
age: 30
Archweaver of the Shifting Archive, a visionary who believes memory must evolve to remain truthful. Brilliant and driven, she sees stagnation as a greater danger than loss. When contradictions began to corrupt Gaelian’s records, she recognized not sacrilege but resistance to becoming. To Mei’peh, the future demands courage, the willingness to reexamine the past without illusion. Her passion burns bright, even when it risks severing ancient bonds. She does not seek to destroy memory, only to free it from the weight of unquestioned permanence.
Niria
Home world: unknown
race: unknown
Age: unknown
A Secondborn whose history is deliberately obscured, even within the highest records. She was once stationed on Gaelian, where she fought alongside Aiya, Kaelen’s mother, during conflicts never fully documented. Little is known of her race, her discipline, or the limits of her power, only that she survived where many did not. Quiet, watchful, and measured in every word, Niria carries herself as one accustomed to loss. When she later encounters Kaelen on Akadia, trust is not given freely but earned through shared resolve rather than shared past.
Il’nea
Home world: Cineris
Race: Embaryn
Age: 16
A Secondborn Harmonist whose gift lies in stabilizing emotional and collective resonance across civilizations. Once a steady anchor within Luminaris, she was among the first to sense the creeping dissonance after the Eclipse of the Erebus. What unsettles her most is not the fear, but the uncertainty of its origin. Thoughts no longer feel wholly her own. For Il’nea, harmony has always been dialogue between self and field. Now, that dialogue fractures, forcing her to confront a truth she never feared before: resonance itself can be questioned.
Taryn
home world: Crythos
race: vaelcryth
age: 100
A Secondborn Watcher stationed along the outer spires, tasked with observing resonance patterns at the edges of inhabited space. Detached by design, he notices shifts others overlook. After the Eclipse, those shifts began to feel personal. Reflections linger too long. Echoes pulse where silence should rest. Taryn describes the sensation as something watching him from within his own field. Calm and precise, he reports what he observes without speculation, but his quiet fear marks a turning point. The lattice no longer feels external. It feels aware.
Kaien
home world: Noctyrris
Race: Dark Elf
age: 1103
A Secondborn Seer once stationed near the rim of Galaxy Prime, where probability thins and futures diverge. He reads resonance not as vision, but as pressure, what may come pressing against what is. Since the lattice began to fracture, his attunement has grown painful. Where once cohesion guided his breath, resistance now answers him. Kaien fears not collapse, but rejection, the sense that the lattice itself no longer recognizes him as part of its design. His insights are invaluable, but increasingly costly to bear.
Killian
Home world: Eldaria
race: Thalrin
age: 237
A Thalrin philosopher and scientist whose reflections on cosmic balance earned quiet reverence within Luminaris. Born on the frozen world of Eldaria, he embodies the stillness of his people, observant, patient, and deeply attuned to the lattice’s subtle rhythms. Even among the long-lived Thalrin, Killian is an anomaly, his insights reaching beyond memory into possibility. His gaze carries echoes of the universe itself, as though fragments of the lattice linger behind his eyes. Thoughtful to the edge of obsession, he stands perpetually between understanding and becoming.
Calithra
home world: Eldaria
race: thalrin
age: 189
A Thalrin historian whose understanding flows not from study, but from stillness. She reads people and patterns with quiet precision, speaking only when clarity demands it. Her presence radiates calm, grounding those around her, including Killian, whom she anchors against endless contemplation. Calithra’s insight lies in listening rather than seeking, and her words linger long after they are spoken. Where others chart stars, she perceives meaning in silence, embodying the Thalrin belief that wisdom is found not in motion, but in patient awareness.
Val’ena
home world: Eldaria
race: Thalrin
age: 9
The daughter of Killian and Calithra, born beneath a rare triple-moon convergence during the Season of Possibility. Though only nine cycles old, she carries a quiet resonance that subtly reshapes the space around her. She listens more than she speaks, attuned to harmonics beyond sound or sight. Her presence feels unfinished—in the way beginnings are unfinished—like the lattice remembering what it once was and what it might yet become. Where Val’ena walks, stillness does not break. It listens.
Harbinger
Harbinger was once Killian, a philosopher, scientist, husband, and father, until the loss of Calithra and Val’ena shattered his faith in the weave. When the Aetherians refused to intervene, grief hollowed him, and reverence turned to ruin. In that silence, the Erebus found him. Where Killian sought balance, Harbinger now exposes what he sees as the universe’s greatest lie: power withheld in the name of order. He does not rage blindly; he condemns with memory, turning love, loss, and truth into weapons against creation itself.
Arielle
home world: Eldaria
race: thalrin
age: 559
Killian’s mother, a steady presence shaped by Eldaria’s long silences and patient seasons. She lived without acclaim, finding meaning in routine, care, and quiet guidance. Arielle believed wisdom was not taught through answers, but through example, and she raised her son with gentleness and restraint. Her influence lingered not in words, but in the calm Killian carried into adulthood, the instinct to listen before speaking, and to seek balance before action.
Coran
home world: eldaria
race: thalrin
age 611
Killian’s father, a man of quiet strength whose love was constant and unquestioned. He rarely spoke praise, not because it was withheld, but because it was never in doubt. Coran believed love did not need proof, it needed presence. He stood beside his son through curiosity, doubt, and ambition, offering patience where others offered guidance. In moments of failure or uncertainty, Coran never corrected, he listened. His unconditional devotion became the foundation from which Killian learned to stand, even when the universe later gave him every reason to fall.
Eilin
home world: eldaria
race: thalrin
age: 833
Killian’s grandmother, a keeper of family memory in its simplest form. She told stories not only to preserve history, but also to remind those who listened that they belonged to something older than themselves. Eilin’s warmth softened Eldaria’s cold, and her voice carried comfort rather than wisdom. Through her, Killian learned that memory was not always a burden, it could also be a shelter.
Taylion
home world: Kareth sol
race: Threnai
age: 167
A Secondborn whose attunement to the lattice is so profound that it is often mistaken for clairvoyance. He does not see the future; he feels its pressure long before events unfold. Subtle shifts in resonance, unnoticed by others, register to him as inevitability. This sensitivity made Taylion invaluableand unsettling to the Secondborn, as his insights often arrived before proof. Reserved and deliberate, he speaks only when the lattice demands it, aware that knowing too much, too soon, can alter the very patterns he perceives.
Aynaria
home world: virelume
race: Eryndal
age: 60
A Secondborn whose ascension was earned not through innate resonance, but through ingenuity. Unlike most of her kind, she was uplifted for her ability to design devices that harmonize with the lattice, translating its unseen patterns into tools for study and understanding. Her instruments allow others to observe what they cannot feel, bridging intuition and precision. Practical, curious, and quietly brilliant, Aynaria believes knowledge should be built as much as sensed. Through her creations, the lattice became something that could be measured without being diminished.
Kaelen
home world: Elyra
race: Elyrian
Age: 6/10/14
From childhood, Kaelen placed others before himself, instinctively stepping into harm so another would not have to. His strength was never loud; it was offered freely, without expectation of survival or reward. He feared many things, but none more than arriving too late or standing helpless while someone suffered beyond his reach. That fear shaped him as deeply as his compassion. Even before fate claimed him, Kaelen understood protection not as power, but as willingness, the resolve to give everything, including himself, if it meant saving one more life.
Aiya & Jareth
Home world: Elyra
race: elyrian
age: 34/39
Aiya and Jareth were bound by a shared instinct to protect, stepping forward whenever others faltered. To them, safeguarding others was not heroism but obligation. Aiya possessed a quiet intuition that seemed to sense danger before it took form; her gray eyes, later mirrored in Kaelen, carried a significance felt more than understood. Jareth embodied steadfast resolve, placing himself between harm and the helpless without hesitation. Where Aiya anticipated, Jareth endured. Together, they shaped a home defined by compassion, sacrifice, and readiness to act. From them, Kaelen inherited more than courage; he inherited the belief that protection is measured not by survival but by the willingness to stand in harm’s path so others do not have to.
Dax
home world: Elyra
race: Elyrian
Age: 14
A habitual bully who drifts from orphanage to orphanage, leaving fear in his wake. He preys on those smaller or weaker than himself, choosing targets who cannot fight back. Loud and cruel when he holds the advantage, Dax avoids anyone capable of standing up to him, mistaking caution for control. His strength lies not in courage, but in numbers and opportunity. To Dax, dominance is a shield against his own insecurity, and cruelty is a way to feel powerful in a world where he otherwise feels small.
Vekis
home world: Ixerra
Race: Drakar
age: 13
Vekis follows Dax not out of loyalty, but fear. Smaller and less aggressive, he learned early that standing alone made him a target. When he first met Dax, the bully recognized that fear and turned it into leverage, pushing Vekis to harass others on his behalf. Since then, Vekis has played the role expected of him, striking only when backed by someone stronger. He is not cruel by nature, but complicit, trapped in a cycle where hurting others feels safer than becoming the next victim.
Gorvax
Home world: Khar’Veth
race: brutar
age: 17
A young Brutar of immense size and limited insight, relying on strength where others use cunning. During Dax’s early weeks at Cresthaven, Dax approached him with a simple bargain: protection in exchange for extra food and privileges. Gorvax accepted without question. Since then, he has served as Dax’s muscle, standing silently behind him as a looming threat. He does not seek cruelty for its own sake, but obeys those who offer security and reward. To Gorvax, loyalty is transactional, and power is measured by who stands at your back.
Jorren
Home world: Elyra
race: Elyrian
age: 16
Jorren is not a bully in the usual sense; he is a fighter. Conflict draws him in, and he is always searching for an excuse to test himself against someone else. Before Dax arrived at Cresthaven, Jorren had already clashed with Gorvax more than once, driven by instinct rather than cruelty. Following Dax gives him what he wants most: constant confrontation. The steady flow of fights keeps his aggression focused outward, preventing him from turning on Dax himself. For Jorren, violence is not about dominance or fear, it is the only language he trusts.
Illiar
home world: elyra
race: elyrian
age: 19
A former resident of Cresthaven who chose to remain when he aged out, determined to change the system that once failed him. Having witnessed cruelty firsthand, he understands how easily neglect becomes abuse. Rather than turning away, Illiar works from within the orphanage, pushing for accountability, structure, and protection for those with no voice. His authority is limited, his progress slow, but his resolve is unbroken. Illiar believes real change is rarely dramatic; it is built through persistence, presence, and the refusal to look away when others do.
Jayce
home world: elyra
race: elyrian
age: 14
A small, timid boy displaced by the war on Gaelian. He lost his mother during the conflict and was sent to Cresthaven with nothing but grief and silence. When fear overwhelms him, he clutches a faded strip of cloth torn from his mother’s shirt at the moment she died, the last piece of her he has left. Jayce speaks little, preferring to observe from the edges, but his quiet endurance speaks volumes. He survives not through strength, but through memory, holding onto love when everything else has been taken.
Thravix
Home world: Khar’Veth
race: Brutar
age: 24
Thravix rules Hell’s Playground as a king in all but name. Rising through the crime family by merit rather than fear, he earned respect through discipline, loyalty, and results. Unlike most Brutars, he was entrusted with leadership rather than brute force, an acknowledgment of his rare intelligence and control. Hell’s Playground, the family’s crown jewel, thrives under his command because order is maintained through earned authority, not chaos. Thravix does not rule by intimidation alone; he rules because those beneath him believe in his leadership, and fear what happens if that respect is broken.
Relek
Home world: Khar’Veth
race: kreg
age: 16
A Kreg lieutenant serving under Thravix in Hell’s Playground, a post meant as punishment rather than honor. Born into a lineage where authority is inherited, Relek lost his family’s trust after a decisive falling-out and was stripped of his privilege. Sent to serve Thravix, he was forced to earn respect without the shield of bloodline. Calculated, disciplined, and quietly resentful, Relek operates with precision rather than dominance. In Hell’s Playground, he rebuilds his worth through action, navigating loyalty, ambition, and the knowledge that exile is sometimes the sharpest teacher.
Vosh & Tiros
Home world:Mor’Zai
race: uzani
age: 15
Vosh and Tiros are Uzani twins, an anomaly twice over. Twins are rare among their kind; twins born with four arms each are almost unheard of, almost prophetic. Feared for what they might become, and for the conflict their rise could spark with the Kreg, they were exiled at seven cycles and sent to Hell’s Playground. There, survival replaced childhood. Their instincts and flawless coordination elevated them to lieutenants under Thravix. What was meant to diminish them instead forged an unbreakable bond, sharpened by years in a place that never forgets weakness.
Felys
home world: Virethis
Race: virethi
age: 51
A member of the Virethi, a technologically advanced race renowned for innovation and commerce. While most Virethi rise to prominence as influential business leaders, Felys was less fortunate. He runs his own operation in a crime-ridden city, where ambition rarely leads to wealth and survival takes precedence over growth. Resourceful and resilient, Felys adapts constantly, balancing technology, trade, and caution in an environment stacked against him. His business keeps him independent but poor, trapped between the promise of Virethi ingenuity and the harsh reality of where he was forced to build it.
Orien
home world: virethis
race: virethi
age: 12
The son of Felys, and like all Virethi, he shows an early talent for technology and trade. Even at a young age, he understands systems, repairs, and the quiet logic of business. He dreams of one day helping his father move their struggling operation to a safer, more prosperous place. Until then, Orien spends his days repairing their shop after it is damaged by local thugs, learning resilience alongside skill. Where others see setbacks, Orien sees problems waiting to be solved.
Zavran
home world: Khar’Veth
race: brutar
age: 26
A commander within the crime family, serving under Lythos, one of its lieutenants. Like Thravix, he was granted a rare opportunity to be more than a simple enforcer, a recognition earned through effectiveness rather than trust. Immense in size and ruthless in action, Zavran maintains control through calculated brutality, breaking resistance before it can spread. Leadership, to him, is exercised through fear, not loyalty. While others command respect, Zavran commands obedience, embodying the family’s belief that power is best preserved by reminding others what happens when it is challenged.
Lythos
home world: Noctyrris
race: dark elf
age: 1435
A dark elf fallen from the grace his kind is known for. Where others of his race embody restraint and honor, Lythos is self-centered, untruthful, and driven solely by self-interest. He views all beings other than the Kreg as inherently lesser, tools created to serve rather than equals to respect. His position as lieutenant within the crime family was granted not through merit, but through heritage alone. Privilege shields his ambition, and arrogance blinds him to the cost of treating power as entitlement rather than responsibility.
Vulkar
home world: Khar’Veth
race: kreg
Age: 131
The most powerful figure beneath the crime family’s leader, his father, and widely regarded as the most dangerous individual in the universe. His raw power and calculated ruthlessness make him feared even among allies. He rules with an iron fist, enforcing order through precision and terror rather than loyalty. Though he serves as second-in-command, Vulkar silently plots succession, studying weakness with patient intent. To him, power is destiny, and blood is no shield. If his father must fall for the throne to pass, Vulkar will not hesitate.
Myrrh
home world: akadia
race: ursaen
age: 29
Known as First Blade Myrrh, she is the supreme commander of the Ursaen armies and one of their most powerful warriors, second only to the Queen herself. Myrrh is relentless, disciplined, and absolute in battle, leading from the front rather than behind a throne. Her authority is earned through strength, not tradition, and her presence alone can steady armies or break opposing lines. To the Ursaen, Myrrh is the edge of their will made flesh, where she advances, victory follows, or nothing remains.
Elenaria
home world: Akadia
Race: ursaen
age: 20
The Queen of the Ursaen, hailed as the most powerful ruler in their history. She claimed the throne at just eight years old, defeating the previous queen in a brutally one-sided battle that left no room for doubt. Since then, none have risen to challenge her reign, not from fear alone, but certainty of defeat. Elenaria rules with unmatched strength and unyielding will. Though her power commands loyalty, it does not inspire universal love. Some resent her dominance, but all acknowledge the truth: the throne endures because she does.
Ysvara
home world: akadia
race: ursaen
age: 67
Ysvara stands as third in command of the Ursaen, entrusted with shaping every newly awakened warrior. She oversees the brutal transition from potential to purpose, breaking weakness before it can cost lives. Where Queen Elenaria rules and Myrrh commands, Ysvara prepares. Her methods are unforgiving, her standards absolute, and her judgment final. To survive her training is to earn the right to stand among the Ursaen. Ysvara believes strength is not discovered; it is forged, and only those who endure the process deserve to wield it.
Velor
General of the erebus
Once a Secondborn, chosen for her potential to become a protector of the universe. Instead, the power meant to elevate her became the path to her corruption. Twisted by the Erebus, she abandoned balance for annihilation, convinced that existence itself is a flawed creation. Now a general within the Erebus’ armies, Velor wages war not for conquest, but for erasure. Where she once sought to defend life, she now seeks to end it—believing oblivion to be the only true mercy left to offer the cosmos.
Unknown general of the erebus
A former Secondborn, this nameless general serves directly under Harbinger, leading vast armies of the Soulless against Aether Prime. Silent and unwavering, he is both commander and bodyguard, never straying far from his master’s side. His presence alone warps the field, steadying corrupted forces and breaking resistance through sheer inevitability. He rarely speaks, does not boast, and does not question. Identity, to him, is irrelevant, only purpose remains. Where Harbinger decrees unmaking, this general ensures it is carried out without hesitation, mercy, or delay.
The Infinite
The Infinite is a bloodline chosen by creation itself, each generation marked by the same inherited trait, gray eyes, passed down as a quiet signal of those bound to protect. Across ages, they rose when others could not: a woman who entered a violent storm unarmed to carry a wounded soldier to safety; a miner who held a collapsing tunnel with his own body so his crew could escape; a man who ran back into flame again and again, lungs filled with smoke, to pull strangers free; a mother who left her husband and son during a firestorm, knowing she might never return, so others could live.
They were never asked. They chose.
Now Kaelen, infused with Aetherial power, stands for the fate of the whole universe.
