Corrupted Khydallan

***STILL A WIP (Work-in-Progress)***

## General Overview

The Khydallans are silicon based life, and are therefore inorganic in nature. All in all, they can be described as "Living Rock" with a reptile-like appearance. Due to their inorganic nature, they have no need to breathe and often wear very little clothing due to very little need for insulation and protection from the elements. Their body possesses a low power form of electro-plasma, feeding off of radioactive matter to sustain themselves long-term. Via channeling certain crystals in their bodies, they can attack with radiation attacks from their limbs.

The Corrupted Khydallans, however, are a Negative Inverse of these Khydallans, and are Void-bound. These Void-twisted Khydallans are born from a strong desire and urge to survive the harshest realities of the Void, and actually living to tell the tale, but are driven mad due to their chemical makeup altering, both physically, mentally and emotionally. The first encounter with the Corrupted Khydallans actually come from an Alternate Timeline of the Khydallan Homeworld, that was brought into existence by a Paradox Effect of some sort in loose relation to the Abyss Incident.

The Corrupted Khydallans have no recollection of how they came to be, and believe they presumably have always been the way they were, in an empty void with their homeworld as the only planet for what felt like aeons. To them, they are the last bastion of existence in their corrupted timeline, that so happens to be forever eternally stuck on the date ***November 27, 2452 4:27pm***, the date and time of the Sealing of the Spirit of the Abyss, what led to this timeline's singularity collapse, why it still exists in a fragmented state, and how it is connected to the current reality of the Black Eye Galaxy.

This is no alternate universe in and of itself, but rather a reality, a continuity, a temporal anomaly of what WOULD have been this universe, should things have remained unchecked, and the area around Alternate Vah'kohral be all over, including the very planet itself, null and void. A scary thought, but due to this reality's Black Eye Galaxy being mostly, critically destroyed and fragmented, there is not much left of it to even consider it a galaxy. This is a forsaken wasteland, rich with Void Resources, and potential allies for combatting the Whorl and the Auruxans. What comes of it is up to you to decide, for you help carve the fate of the Corrupted Khydallans, and be their saviour, and gain a powerful ally in the process from a Fragmented World... OR... exploit them for profit, and manipulate the Elder's people. What becomes of it is for you to decide for this new variant of the Khydallan Race, and their Genetic Mutation.

## Established History

Due to the events of Year 5 - The End Times, when Nakarja and Yejat Hataxi sacrificed themselves at the Battle of Barras to create a giant *Crystalline Entity* to prevent further expansion of the Eye of the Abyss, sealing the Spirit of the Abyss within it, the destruction of Barras (Jaqc V) and the pacification of the Jaqc Monocracy, The Abyss War finally drew to a close in Late November 2452, but with a nasty repercussion. A Void Scar appeared over the skies of the planet Vah'kohral due to the Abyss Incident and has been a curiosity ever since. Nobody dared venture close to it for many believed it to be a bad omen, and did not wish ill upon their kin and other innocents.

Despite Alternate Vah'koral being a Void-twisted variant of what would have been your reality, it does not have negative effects on anyone who enters the Void Scar, entering said Rift. This may be in partly connected to the fact the realm is forever stuck in time, a Paracausal Loop that split it from our own reality, becoming an alternate timeline we, ourselves, never experience. Due to the Paracausal Loop that is responsible for this split off of our reality, not only do we never experience the catastrophic events this realm experienced, but also are never affected by it due to the harm we endure within is suddenly removed, restored, removed, restored, removed, and so on, due to the Paracausal Loop, which also explains the Planet's very landscape and buildings in a constant paradoxical flux of Past and Present indefinitely, and eternally, simply because there is no future for the realm to go into, which is also why you who have entered this realm, never suffer the ill effects of such instability, negative corruption, nor destruction. It is this Paracausal loop that safeguards the entire remnants of what is left of the universe, why the Corrupted Khydallans became corrupted by the Void Ailments, how they came into existence as a simple Paradox in and of itself, why the entire realm is in a constant flux that is always forever changing but never aging, and why those who enter this realm are never harmed nor affected by the ill effects. In simplicity sake, it is best to assume despite this realm having void-like attributes, that it is not exactly a Void Realm, but rather a Paradox Realm, made manifest due to a cataclysmic incident that split this timeline off from our own, and severely fragmenting it to a lesser version of what it once was, our own home galaxy.

## Species Specifics

Every Corrupted Khydallan has, at one time, been a simply normal Khydallan, changed, altered by the Negative Energies that exist in the Void, and other Void-like realms. Most, if not all Corrupted Khydallans are beings of Living Rock, Minerals, and Metals that are of the Void, while the first generation of Corrupted Khydallans might have slight trace of Normal Elements that have been chemically altered into a negative-variant of what it formerly was, and painfully so.

Corrupted Khydallans can come in multiple colors, including, but not limited to Impure Nuridium Purple, Semi-pure Nuridium Blue, Blood Red, Void Black, and other varying Negative, and Dark Colors.

Due to the nature of their transformative mutation, they are rendered mostly feral, and savage. As result, any form of stress and/or pain can render a PTSD-esque response with the proper stimuli. Only the most wisest and oldest of Corrupted Khydallans, the Elders, are capable of handling these certain stimulis with little to no problem. As result, they are the most reliable in having in Meetings and other Government Agendas, due to their ability to keep their urges in check.

Elder Corrupted Khydallans can vary from form to form, Elder to Elder, but all of them seem to have the Wings that other Khydallan Elders have, but seem to take a more Altered State form and shape. The Current Elder, Crystal, has Crystalline Breasts and a Crystalline Crown with Horns made of Impure Nuridium. Her daughter, Spi'nelx, is set to be the next elder, and she already bears multiple Crystalline Horns and Crown-like formations on her body, but has Blood Red eyes instead of her Mother's Void Grey eyes. It is assumed when she becomes Elder, her Crystalline formations will take a more Reddish hue reminiscent of Bloodied Gems and Minerals. This Reddish Hue change is actually a mutation in Corrupted Khydallans when they become Elders. When a Corrupted Khydallan becomes an Elder, their body's Crystalline Formations will sometimes change color due to a genetic deformation in their chemically-altered genetic make-up. This mutation in Corrupted Khydallans is known simply as "Elder-Corruption Syndrome" and the reasoning for such is unknown, and has not been able to be explained or understood. Elder-Corruption Syndrome happens in only 1 out of every 50 Elders, but has little negative effects to the subject. Those who have Elder-Corruption Syndrome at an early age seem normal, but as they age, their behaviours tend to become more unstable and unpredictable. Their colors will slowly change as they sometimes grow more tainted crystalline formations across their body. Their behaviour sometimes varies to a more feral mindset, becoming almost bestial in nature, or to the lucky few, a more stable mindset with an even more severe PTSD-esque response when is overwhelmed.

## Notes

* The Khydallan species was developed by Lurai Kir
* The Khydallan were first encountered in the U.S.S. Nemesis episode, "*Consortium*" on the *23rd August 2019*
* The Corrupted Khydallan Variant was developed by Crystal Skar'kra Zehrka-Kuljar
* The Corrupted Khydallan Variant is able to exist in multiple realities as result of a Void-Dependent Mutation, that is caused by a Painful, Chemically-Altering Experience. This has caused a PTSD-like response with pain and other painful stimuli.
* Alternate Vah'kohral co-exists on top of Vah'kohral in another plane, another timeline. The Void Scar in the sky is the way in to such Paradoxical Anomaly, and also the way out back to the normal world.
* Those who become Elder in the Corrupted Khydallan Genealogy sometimes are afflicted by an unknown mutation known simply as "Elder-Corruption Syndrome" and varies from Corrupted Khydallan to Corrupted Khydallan.
