Rainbow Serpent

### Biography

The Rainbow snake (referred to as Rainbow, for short) is a celestial being and guardian of earth. Each celestial has a planet associated with it. The Rainbow snake is a benevolent being and ally of the snakes. It seeks to remove all corruption from the universe caused by Scerzivar and the Necrosin army. The Rainbow snake has also observed corruption in humans, Parxons and later, Necrosins. The rainbow snake went into a long brumation in the year 1278BC and then was awoken 3000 years later by Ekerslithery, using the life orb artifact that Bandy had discovered not long before. The Rainbow serpent often aids in the construction and repair of important snake assets such as the temple, the forests on the island and the cruiser *Impenetrable.* Rainbow is immortal but it can be temporarily incapacitated with the supernatural energy of Durflaxium, such as when it was consumed by Guragon using Durflaxium powers, and when it was attacked by ASA drones firing durflaxium bullets. Rainbow's ability's include flight, plasma blasts and aquakenisis. It is also temperature resistant able to fly through space and stars with ease. The rainbow snake can also move faster than light just like Temple tribe's fleet of starships. The Rainbow snake is feared by the ASA and the Parxons due to its destructive capabilities as the snakes' most powerful ally. Though half the length of the cruiser *Impenetrable,* Rainbow is able to fit inside along with over 500 additional snakes and 12 skyvipers.

### Relationship with other celestials

Of the 3 celestials that appear in "Ekerslithery", Rainbow is the only one that is aligned with the snakes and the greater good of the universe. Rainbow's original rival, Guragon, was the simplest of the 3 celestials and simply strived to gain as much power as possible in the universe. This included reducing competition by decimating planets one by one. Guragon's voracious appetite caused him to become by far the largest of the celestials. At some point, Guragon and Rainbow fought an epic battle and Guragon was defeated and made to swear not to attack any more planets. Eventually, many millennia later, Guragon had become more powerful and decided to challenge Rainbow's position of power on Earth. This time, Rainbow was defeated and consumed by Guragon after Guragon had weakened Rainbow using durflaxium, a magically corrupting substance. However, Rainbow's allies in Temple Tribe were able to find a way to rescue Rainbow using Corsanium, a magically purifying substance, the opposite of durflaxium. Rainbow with the help of the snakes was able to then destroy Guragon's physical form. trapping his soul inside the Orb of life. Months later, Guragon's army of corrupted Parxons decimated snake island in a surprise attack, recovering the Plasma crystal and the Orb of life. Using these, they were able to Restore Guragon's physical form on the planet Tousoclo 1 and Guragon immediately sought revenge on the snakes. Rainbow had sensed Guragon's return and prepared to battle Guragon once again. During the battle, Guragon had recovered the plasma crystal. Rainbow had noticed this and took advantage of the situation. Instead of using durflaxium, Guragon thought it would be easier to destroy the snakes with the plasma crystal. This was a mistake however, as Rainbow absorbed the energy from the plasma crystal and shared it with Eker, Dacko and River. Together, the 4 were able to completely destroy Guragon, and with the Orb of life destroyed too, Guragon was truly dead.

The other celestial to cross paths with Rainbow is Scerzivar, a far more sinister being than Guragon, that wanted nothing more than to enslave all mortals, making their one purpose to serve Scerzivar.
