Solaris

* First form
* Final form

**Solaris**(ソラリス Sorarisu) is an antagonist in FanRP. He is the sun god of Soleanna, as well as a super-dimensional lifeform and a god of time, who is worshiped by the people of Soleanna. Originally a living flame, Solaris was split into two halves during the Solaris Project: Mephiles (his conscious mind) and Iblis (his raw power). Both of Solaris' halves were subsequently sealed away.

Ten years later, Mephiles and Iblis were freed and rejoined, recreating Solaris who sought to destroy time itself, but was defeated by X, Shadow, Silver and Morax. Solaris was subsequently erased from existence, ensuring his wrath would never be unleashed on the world.

## Physical Appearance

Prior to the Solaris Project, Solaris was nothing more than a white flame. After his rebirth, Solaris took on a more creature-like form made of light with a red orb holding his consciousness in the center. His base form has no head, with a piece above his core resembling an upper torso with a curve behind the "neck", and a lower body that resembles a stalactite. He also has two palm-less arms not connected to his body at his shoulders, each with three fingers.

In his first form, Solaris wears three cyan shells of light, two of which covered each of his forearms. The third covered his chest are and core and has a figure on top that resembles an eagle head with glowing yellow eyes and antlers. Additionally, he has a ring with six triangular pieces floating at the edges, resembling a sun on his back. In his second form, Solaris loses his light shells, and the ring on his back is replaced with a plate that has a pair of wings "attached" to it, each made of five segments.

## Personality

As a singular being, Solaris' personality was never fully explored. He can be seen as an archetypal being considering how the citizens of Soleanna worshiped it. As stated by Morax though, Solaris could be gluttonous and amoral as it would freely consume different timelines until there was nothing left.

As a tiny flame, Solaris was completely subtle. However, during the Solaris Project, the deity revealed himself to be quite wrathful, refusing to cooperate with the Duke of Soleanna and caused an explosion that took the lives of everyone involved.

## Biography

### Past

Solaris initially existed as an apparently sentient flame which had been entrusted to the royal family ruling over Soleanna and was worshiped by the citizens of Soleanna. Legends foretold, however, that Solaris' wrath, the Flames of Disaster, were destined to one day awaken.

During the reign of the Duke of Soleanna, when Solaris' flame had grown large enough, the duke initiated the Solaris Project in hopes of harnessing Solaris' power so that humanity could change history to correct past mistakes (and allow himself and his son, Songxu, to see his deceased wife again). During the duke and the researchers' experiments on the deity however, Solaris became unstable and split into two forms in a massive explosion: Iblis, the raw power, and Mephiles, the cunning mind. Mephiles was sealed inside an artifact known as the Scepter of Darkness by the time-traveling Shadow, while the Duke sealed Iblis inside of Songxu's soul. Before dying from the wounds caused by the accident, he told his son to never cry, as doing so would destroy the seal holding Iblis within him.

### *Present*

In *the present*, Mephiles was freed and began plotting to reunite with Iblis. By making Songxu cry after killing Omari, Mephiles released Iblis and the two entities rejoined to create Solaris again. Solaris immediately plunged the world into darkness and prepared to devour time itself by consuming all existing timelines. Before he could achieve this, however, he was defeated by a combined assault from Shadow, Silver, X and Morax. The four heroes managed to defeat Solaris by destroying his consciousness. Solaris' defeat reverted him back to his original form and spirited Songxu and Morax back to the time before the fateful experiment. After some contemplation, Songxu chose to blow out the flame that would become Solaris - thus changing history by erasing his corporeal form from existence.

## Trivia

* "Solaris" is a Latin word meaning "pertaining to the sun"
	+ In his first phase, Solaris has six stones on his back, six claws and six horn segments on his head. This may be a reference to the number 666, which is generally the accepted Number of the Beast from the Book of Revelation. The angelic second form of Solaris can also be looked upon as the true form of Satan, the Devil, who was once the highest and most beautiful of angels.
	+ In further reference to the Book of Revelation, Solaris' two halves, Mephiles and Iblis, represent the False Prophet and the Beast respectively. Both creatures' names are also derived from synonyms for the Devil.
* Solaris' eagle-like head in his first form is a reference to the eagle, which is the symbol of Soleanna.

**Fun Facts**

* When Inori was introducing Solaris to Zane, Zane accidently said Siplhlis. And thus Siphlis was Born.
* Solaris, Mephiles, Iblis and Soleanna were added only because Inori really likes Sonic 06
