Zenebris, also known as Zenebris Starborn or the Kalissiah, is a male Aushlin from the moon of Abrasax Secundus, within the 300 Worlds of the Aushlin Empire. Having been a slave for his five centuries of life, he was gifted with immense power upon being partially possessed by the Overgod known as Mr. Universe.

## Biography

### Early Life

Zenebris was born on the moon of Abrasax Secundus, a forge world covered entirely covered in refineries, factories, and shipyards. Zenebris was born to a slave mother who worked in a factory, serving as an overseer to her fellow slaves. Zenebris grew up watching his mother wield the electrowhip against his peers, and surprisingly enough, found that his owner always saw to it that he was directed to labor that was not nearly as dangerous that most of the other Aushlin tools within the factory were set to. As Zenebris grew older, he eventually came to realize that his mother's prime position as overseer was due to the fact that she was serving as her master's mistress, and his owner was actually his father. When he confronted the factory owner over this fact publicly, the man's face flushed red, and Zenebris found himself slapped away, declared a liar, and thrown out of the room. Later, he would learn that one of the women present in the room had been his father's wife. Unfortunately for her, her husband would be unable to staunch his attraction for the fierce slave overseer, and Zenebris would find himself acquiring a number of younger siblings over the next few years of his life.

### Possession by Mr. Universe

Zenebris spent over a century within his father's factory. As an Aushlin, he could possibly live up to nine more centuries, but even as lax as his lifestyle was by the standards of most factory slaves, it was unlikely he would live so long. Not quite happy, Zenebris still had his mother and nineteen younger siblings to keep him company. However, all that was shattered on the eve of his one hundred and twenty fifth birthday, when the essence of the Overgod, Mr. Universe, was inserted into his body. The resulting power was too much for the young Aushlin, and he released a great deal of his own energy, causing a massive explosion that obliterated everything within a ten mile radius. Zenebris, however, walked away unharmed, emerging from the smoke and flame as the fire crews arrived, for all those onlookers who had gathered to see. Naked and gleaming in the firelight, many thought of it as a sign. Born amidst a burning flame, yet unburnt himself, Zenebris had fulfilled the First Sign of the coming of the Kalissiah, and whispers of his divinity began to spread.

### Proclamation as Kalissiah

Shortly after his "birth from fire", Zenebris was soon approached by the priests of the Kalissian Cult, the Acolytes of Kalis. He was taken to the Chantry of Saint Basilica, the largest Chantry of Kalis on the moon. There, he was asked by the priests if he might be the Kalissiah. Zenebris, cleverly acted humble and contrite, pretending to be in awe of the majesty of the Chantry. Most shrewdly, he acted as if he was drawn towards the statue of Kalis within the temple, stating that he felt some connection to it he could not explain. At this time, his telepathic abilities first manifested, and he managed to scan the priest's mind, learning that the Kalissiah was said to become imbued with holy and eternal light upon the first sight of his father. Accordingly, Zenebris wreathed his body in a golden glow, thus fulfilling the Second Sign, which sent the priests into a frenzy of excitement.

The Acolytes then gathered to ask him the Ten Thousand Queries, said to be the Third Sign of the Kalissiah, being that he would know all the answers to all the questions that Kalis himself had answered when he first appeared to the Aushlin race. Through the use of his telepathy, Zenebris simply read their minds, and answered all the Ten Thousand Queries, fulfilling the Third Sign.

The Fourth Sign stated that the world of the Kalissiah's birth would never again know night. Upon learning of this, Zenebris used his power over light in order to craft a miniature star to orbit Abrasax Secundus, thereby fulfilling the Fourth Sign. This obviously began to attract even more attention from the other planets within the system, who of course noticed a miniature star appearing over the moon.

Upon fulfilling the Fourth Sign, Zenebris was called upon to fulfill the Fifth: to venture into the realm of his father. In other words, fly into the heart of a star. Having begun to harness his telekinetic powers, Zenebris used them to fly out of the atmosphere, and made his way towards the systems star. By this time, news of his status as Kalissiah had begun to spread, and the governor on Abrasax Secundus had him filmed via telescopic video broadcast, showing the entire moon his feat of flying into the star and returning unharmed. He returned to the moon, radiant and glowing, his landing spot was swarmed by followers. Zenebris addressed them as his children, announcing that he was the Kalissiah, and that is was his solemn duty to spread the light of his father Kalis across the universe. To begin, he proclaimed he would need to unite the Aushlin Empire under his rule. His speech enhanced by his now mighty telepathic abilities, and millions were swayed to his cause, taking over the shipyards and taking full control of the moon.

### Initial Conquests

Upon taking control of Abrasax Secundus, Zenebris, having traveled around the moon to telepathically convert every last soul to his cause, he commanded his forces to make contact with Abrasax, the world the moon orbited. He proclaimed himself the Kalissiah, and demanded they submit to him in the name of Kalis. They refused, and Zenebris descended upon them with his newly made fleet, taking over the vital mines of the world and using his telepathy to take the hearts of all who lived there. Shortly thereafter, Zenebris turned his attention to the capitol world of the system, Malteus. Initially, the governor, Garen Orvulus, defied his will, declaring him a heretic, and sending out a distress call to the wider Aushlin Empire for assistance to help put down his rebellion. However, Zenebris personally descended on the world, flying right past the blockade and mentally dominating the governor, slowly converting the populace to his will. He forced the governor to send out a message that the insurrection had been put down, and after subduing the planet, Zenebris offered his men some time to relax, before exiting the Maltean system and heading off to further his conquests.

## Physical Appearance

Zenebris looks to be the complete antithesis of the rest of his race. Where they are pale and black eyed, Zenebris is possessed of eyes like miniature stars, and skin which glows with golden light. He is possessed of the statuesque features of the god he proclaims himself to be; chiseled and perfect in every way. The perfect, singular word to describe Zenebris would be *radiant.*

## Personality

Zenebris is aloof to those who do not worship him out, willing to eradicate them at any moments notice. To those who are capable of harming him, he sees them as a challenge that he praises. Zenebris can go from caring to murdering at any moment that deems itself appropriate, especially if it has the chance of revealing the truth of him not being The Kalissiah.

* Light Constructs: Using his power over solar energy, Zenebris is able to create constructs of pure light. The size of these constructs can be comparable to a small moon in size, though these larger constructs require much more energy. Zenebris may create constructs to be only temporary, or he may make them to last longer. However, creating permanent constructs takes much more time, whereas the temporary ones can be conjured near instantly.
* Photokinesis: Zenebris has the ability to control light in a myriad of forms, and can control light on a near planetary scale, being able to darken or brighten a world as he sees fit. He is also able to manipulate light to alter the visions of individual's with light based senses, and can thereby make himself invisible. Furthermore, he is capable of absorbing light into himself if he chooses.
* Pyrokinesis: Zenebris has power over fire, and can project, absorb, and manipulate flames on near global scale, being fully capable of burning a hole in an atmosphere or melting an entire continent to slag.

Superhuman Durability: Zenebris's body is impervious to damage to the point that the vast majority of species do not possess weaponry capable of harming him in any way. Nothing less than force capable of destroying a continent is capable of causing his pain, and it takes force capable of destroying a moon to inflict minor damage. Serious harm can only be inflicted by force capable of destroying a planet.

Superhuman Intelligence: Zenebris's mind is capable of processing huge amounts of information in an extremely short time. This allows him to maintain telepathic communication with millions of beings at a time, react to extremely rapid stimulus, give him precise control over all his physical and energy based powers, and think at an extremely speedy rate.

* Eidetic Memory: Zenebris has absolutely perfect memory, and can store a near unlimited amount of information within his mind.

Superhuman Senses: Zenebris's physical senses can span up to one thousand miles away from him, allowing him to detect stimulus as if he were right next to it. He is able to smell pheromones, hear heartbeats, and observe objects at the molecular level.

Superhuman Speed: Zenebris is able to sprint at speeds of up to two hundred miles per hour. He is also able to combine his superhuman processing power along with his telekinetic strength to move his body in combat to stirke and react to movements which approach the speed of light.

Superhuman Stamina: Due to the tremendous energies coursing through his body, Zenebris is able to exert himself at his peak for approximately five years before even beginning to experience fatigue. However, being wounded and damage may rapidly accelerate the tiring process.

Superhuman Strength: Zenebri's physical strength is sufficient to allow him to rip through almost any natural material, and he is able to lift up to around five hundred tons of weight through his pure bodily might.

Telekinesis: Another of his signature abilities, Zenebris possesses telekinetic prowess that allows him to shift tectonic plates with little trouble. Through extreme exertion, he is able to shift a planet's orbit or even crack it open with his telekinetic prowess. Due to his hyperadvanced mind, he is able to focus on multiple telekinetic tasks with extreme precision, allowing him to control uncounted tiny projectiles, dismember entire armies with a thought, or slice and shape objects through thought alone.

* Telekinetic Flight: By gripping himself with his telekinetic power, Zenebris can propel himself through the air or space at hundreds of thousands of times the speed of sound, and by fully exerting himself, can reach close to light speeds.
* Telekinetic Force Field: Zenebris is able to use his telekinetic powers to project force fields around himself. He can control the size of these fields, being able to erect barriers thousands of miles wide, or simply keep a field a few millimeters around his body. Zenebris's force fields are capable of withstanding continent breaking force with little difficulty, and are only truly tested when subjected to force capable of destroying a moon or more.

Telepathy: Zenebris's telepathy is incredibly potent, ranging over tens of thousands of miles. With it, he is able to touch the minds of approximately half a billion beings, being able to relay thoughts and sensations with all of them at once.

* Auric Telempathy: Zenebris is capable of telepathically influencing the emotions of those in his presence, passively emitting a sensation that forces most of those who enter his presence to fall to their knees in awe and wonder at his majesty. As long as Zenebris does not direct his attention to them, certain strong willed beings can resist the effects, though high levels of telepathic resistance is required to fend off the power. In addition to the passive effect which induces awe, Zenebris can control the emotions he induces, such as mindless terror in his enemies, or bolstering the courage and zeal of his followers to astounding levels.
