Alta

**Alta** is the primary antagonist of the Scope 2 plot, and leader of the Quantriux army. After one million years stuck in a conflux time loop, she has returned to instill her revenge on Malkor and all those associated with the Darkness.

## Appearance

Alta's true appearance, is lost to time, even she cannot remember who or what she looked like all those ages ago. During her time in the conflux, she recreated a vessel body for herself based on Quantriux and Exceed guidelines. Her current form is that of a girl about 18 years of age, adorned with jet black armor with CEVA highlights. Her outfit consists of a metallic black robe with a central core crystal, and two black wings with engines within them. She has long blonde hair and glowing yellow eyes, looking similar to some Sirens. She has a unique headpiece on her head that allows her to directly control the Quantriux forces though sheer willpower. Based on her mood, the lights on her wings will change colors, which will also reflect on Quantriux ships and units.

## Personality

In the ancient past, Alta was known to be a very helpful person, due to the experiences in her life. She trusted people too easily and was easily hurt by others. After she was reincarnated into Adrioth, she created the Crown of Qydron, sealing her heart, memories, and 95% of her emotions, becoming cold and emotionless. However, she still has suprising morals reminiscent of her times as an Excersian, she never once harmed innocent Exceed, and was very reluctant to put her forces against Vlad and Matsuri. Nevertheless, she showed no mercy towards the Hive and ruthlessly massacred them, and was hostile to any forces of Darkness, even if they were Exceed. The only time she removes the Crown of Qydron is when she speaks to her sisters or Akros, but even then her personality is a shell of her former self.

## Relationships

Akros - Alta's "firstborn" the very first Quantriux she created with a personality. She treats him with much more kindness than even the Axis Minds, and sees him like family like her sisters. Since he can feel human emotion, Alta once asked Akros that if she ever fell to her resolve or died, if he would carry her will to his death. He accepted, meaning that if Alta's will ever shifts or changes, Akros will resume control of the Quantriux toward their original goal. As the War-General, Akros usually commands and controls the Quantriux directly under Alta's jurisdiction.

Malkor - Alta's archenemy. Previously as Excersians, the two were in a relationship, but soon Malkor turned to the Darkness and killed her sisters in cold blood, so he could pledge herself to him and his dark mission. Horrified, she told him she hated him, and he killed her. After learning later on that he was the one who destroyed her races on Adrioth, and killed others close to her, she was enraged. She seeks to kill him and make him atone for his actions, and has a deep hatred for him.

Lucia & Luna - Alta's little sisters that were killed by Malkor. Before sealing her memories, she infused their Data cores into their current forms, allowing them to retain their love for her, as well as their personalities, although their original memories were corrupted and lost. She loves them unconditionally and has sworn to protect them, since she failed to do so in the past.

Matsuri - After Matsuri.....What did Matsuri do that makes Alta hate her so much? We have to think about that before I write something here.

Quantriux Army - Before her sealing, Alta cared deeply for each and every Quantriux, even the most basic units. After her sealing, she only cared for higher units such as the Minds and Elites. However, even with the crown, Alta wouldn't always act like it, but she was saddened every time a Quantriux unit died somewhere in Adrioth. This is because her original races were slaughtered by Malkor out of "love" and the Quantriux were her final creation as a living Excersian. She is especially attached to many of the Axis Minds, most of which she created personally to be unique.

## Trivia

* Alta is not inherently evil, as she never killed any Exceed. All vaporized Exceed were sent to Prison-ships in her fleet rather than killing them. She has also been shown to only attack cities and Exceed-made structures, avoiding damaging the planet's environments.

* Once she learned of the Taken Presence, she sought to protect the Exceed from Malkor, therefore invading Springdale in the hopes of destroying the Taken threat.

* Despite being the leader of the Quantriux, the Crown of Qydron is what gives her the power to do so. Most of the time, Akros wears the crown, but Alta also takes control during dire situations.

* Alta's true human form is long gone. After sealing her memories, she no longer remembers her family, her name, her life, or her appearance before the incident. She created an entirely new identity for herself while isolated in the Conflux. The reason for her memory sealing was the grief and guilt of Malkor killing everyone she loved, but also the pain that he would do such a thing to her.

* Alta was only 20 when joining the Exodus project, the youngest member to ever join. She made many great advances in the research and creation of Adrioth, including early concepts of CEVA. However, after the issue with Malkor, he began editing and destroying Alta's works, and in the end killed her and her family and friends out of love, and to gain freedom from her after her death. He also sent her soul into what he hoped would be eternal freedom from the Darkness, but instead nearly became her eternal torture.
