Lunaries

## Physiology

Lunaries stood as the pinnacle of sentient life, standing nearly 9 feet tall with typical heights of 7 and a half feet tall to 9 feet. Their bodies sturdy and powerful yet showing none of the bulkiness and slowness of any other species. Their skin tone varied from olive to even light blue with their eyes always a golden color and those of high borne were purple.

They are bipedal plantigrade species with two arms, five fingers and smooth yet tough skin. Their years of being uplifted and protected by the Precursors have also led to changes in their bodies as well as internal organs.

They have two hearts, one between the chest and one near the lower back towards the hips, protected by their hip bones. Their second heart acts only as a backup when needed or in times of combat where the second heart can improve blood flow and oxygen throughout the body.

As such, sexual dichotomy is easily distinguishable as females have an overall slimmer body with slightly wider hips and larger legs. Males on the other hand are often taller, larger and bulkier compared to their female counterparts with their hips narrower and their legs not as large as females.

Lunaries derive their sustenance through their own grown food but they do not need to eat every day. Their bodies have been adapted to allow to go on days without the need for food or water, their stomach changed to better efficiently and better overall to draw on nutrients even from nutrient poor foods.

Blood Plague

**Blood Plague** is a term that describes spells that curse the blood of those it is cast upon.

## Description

A Blood Plague curses the blood of those it is cast upon and turns them and anyone connected to them, depending on the exact spell used, into virtual slaves. The people that that the Blood Plague is cast upon, as well as all of their descendants, are forced to follow the orders of the castor for the rest of their lives.

If the intended target of the Blood Plague is powerful enough, then the spell will not work well against them. For example, the Blood Plague that the Vestil cast upon the Akharu couldn't enslave them because the Akharu's regeneration kept working against it. Instead, the Blood Plague paralyzed them, forcing the Akharu to continually replace the infected blood with new blood to counteract the effect.

Alicia Aken

## Biography

### Early Life

Very little is known about Alicia's early life. The earliest record that Vanessa Moon could find about her is a note that excused her from gym for a semester in her freshman year of high school because of a broken leg.

Alicia was descended from Hieronymus Bosch, the founder of Crossroads. As Paschar needed the closest blood relative to Hieronymus Bosch's daughter Liesje Aken in order to access her blood vault, he hunted her and all of her descendants. Because of this, Alicia and her parents lived in hiding, and would often change their names.

At some point, Alicia married Reggie Owens.

## Discovery and death

Paschar found two blood relatives to Hieronymus: Alicia Aken and Giselle Tangle. He came to learn that Alicia had been taught enough to watch out for and protect herself from Seosten attempting to gain control over her while Giselle hadn't even known of her connection to Hieronymus. Because Alicia was the closest blood relative to Hieronymus, Paschar needed to kill her so that he could use Giselle to enter the blood vault. Paschar hired Fahsteth to kill Alicia and her unborn child and to make it look like an accident in childbirth. Fahsteth's poison killed Alicia, but her daughter Hannah Owens survived.

Akharu

The **Akharu** are a race of humanoid Alters.

## History

The Akharu are one of four separate intelligent races that warred for eons over the scraps of resources that their home-world retained. Some time into the war, the Akharu managed to claim the throne of the world, an act that granted them relative immortality.

The Vestil pooled their magic to force a curse upon the Akharu. The curse poisoned the blood of the Akharu, paralyzing their bodies, leaving them awake and unaware, but incapable of dying to leave them helpless to defend themselves. The Akharu searched desperately for a cure as it spread like wildfire for their people and, eventually, learned that drinking blood from other creatures would dilute their own poisoned blood. It was not a perfect solution, as the new blood would become tainted by the poison, and required them to take in fresh blood on a regular basis to avoid falling victim to the curse.

Several Akharu left their world to search for answers and to find a permanent cure. The search eventually led the Akharu to the Earth where they discovered that they could create more of their own kind from humans by feeding them blood within a short period before they died. Some Akharu saw this as a method to create enough reinforcements to storm their world, defeat the Vestil, and force them to create a permanent cure for the curse. Other Akharu, like Tiras, saw it as a sign that the Akharu did not need to fight a war any longer.

In 1803, Akharu were sent to the Earth to warn the Akharu living there that the Vestils were preparing another curse that would destroy everyone with Akharu blood.

Once the *Olympus* arrived on Rysthael, Auriel helped infiltrate Ancient Greece. Auriel took on the identity of the Grecian Goddess Athena. Later on, Athena focused on helping to make Ancient Greece more powerful in order to subjugate the Egyptians and discover who had taught the Egyptians about the Seosten Empire and turned Tutankhamun into a Seosten-Bonded.

At some point, Athena and Poseidon had a competition for the honor of being the patron and give their names to an unnamed city. Athena taught the people of the city a spell to ensure fine harvests, using an olive tree as an example, and won the contest. The city was named Athens in her honor.

Later on, Athena volunteered Athens for the initial test of the Bystander Effect.

### Early Life

Alcaeus, along with his twin Iphicles, were born to Amphitryon and Alcmene. He was raised by Ampitryon and Alcmene until a Troll attacked them, killing Ampitryon, and spilled its blood into Alcaeus' crib to turn him into a Natural Troll Heretic.

### Meeting Zeus and Becoming Heracles

Alcaeus's strength later attracted the attention of Zeus, who took an interest in him, and then started to train him. Angered at this, Hera started to send Alcaeus on errands that were designed to kill him. Alcaeus would later take on the name "Heracles" to show that it was his errands brought on by Hera that would make him famous.

For some time, Heracles proved himself against people and challenges. Heracles' desire to win Zeus' approval and best Hera despite everything that she threw at him became an obsession. Heracles became the grandest champion in the lands and in every other land he visited.

### Becoming Alcaeus Again

When the Bystander Effect was cast, humanity's memory and understanding of magic and other intelligent species was erased, and Heracles witnessed what the people he had been working for were capable of. He saw families turning on one another, entire cities fall, and seen death on a scale he had never before imagined.

Unable to handle it, Heracles disappeared, allowing the name Heracles to fade into legend and myth, and took up his old name of Alcaeus. Alcaeus spent centuries travelling the world, coming to terms with his anger, the things that he had done, and who he was as a person. Alcaus would spend centuries attempting to find a concept of balance in his life.

Apollo

Apollo and Sariel were assigned to the *Olympus* and became an infiltration specialist. He later took on the identity of the Grecian God Apollo and spread various myths about the Greco-Roman Pantheon which he used to spread stories about the other Seosten

Apollo later defected from the Seosten Imperium.

Around the time that Apollo was still trying to convince Sariel to leave with him, Puriel turned apollo's identity into the greatest evil humanity had ever known in an attempt to shame him into returning to the Seosten.
