Vulture

Vulture is the Overseer of the NOVA Corps, an Overlord in the Nexus Council and former Trussian supersoldier. He is a solemn, authoritative figure who demanded unrelenting excellence in each of his soldiers. His unmatched prowess with the ion-dao and shadow energy alongside an unprecedented thirst of blood has made him one of the most powerful figures in the entire galaxy.

## **Biography**

### **Trussian Upbringing**

Vulture was born on Trussia Prime to a family of respected fighter pilots.

## **Status**

As the Overlord of the NOVA Corps in the Nexus Council, Vulture has full command of Corpus's special forces and selects operations, missions and other assignments for their deployment where he deems fit. As the Overseer of the NOVA Corps, Vulture oversees all missions carried out the force's operators and directs constant technological and strategical improvements.

## **Personality**

Vulture can be described simply by three words: cold, unrelenting and dogmatic. His philosophy revolves around excellence and obedience, which he believes every soldier under his command must show. His seriousness has devoided him of any humor or bluff.

Conclusively, there are only two paths one may take in Vulture's domain. Either follow his every orders to the best of one's abilities, or be terminated by his wrath.

## **Appearance**

Vulture is an Akita with sand-colored fur, white ears and paws and pitch black eyes. The lower half of his face is hidden by a jagged black mask, complete with red lights arranged in an upside down triangle where his mouth and nose should be. The mask somewhat distorts his voice to make it sound subtly robotic and raspy.

Vulture wears a traditional Trussian-inspired maroon tunic and cape. Underneath this, he dons whitish-grey segmented body armor crafted from the finest kyanite. His ion-dao is sheathed on his back. A respirator unit strapped to his left hip and hidden from view is connected to his mask via two tube that go over his back and shoulders.

## **Abilities**

As one of Corpus's best warriors who mains a blade, Vulture's dazzling mastery of his ion-dao allows him to easily engage multiple enemies at once, deflect storms of projectiles and even telepathically wield and fight with it. Even without it, Vulture is immensely skilled in hand-to-hand physical combat and is able to best nearly anyone in all of Corpus.

Vulture's mastery of shadow energy is a supernatural phenomena not yet fully understood, but nonetheless feared across the realms. He can conjure dark purple shadow energy from an unknown parallel realm for offensive, defensive and telekinetic purposes at his will. It is corrosive to the touch and incredibly durable. Vulture has been observed to incapacitate enemies from a distance with shadowy tendrils, fire shadow projectiles, form a shadow shield that stops incoming attacks and create clones of himself and others.

## **Weapons**

Vulture's infamous ion-dao, which is the only physical weapon he had and will ever use, is a hybrid between a traditional blade and Trussian lightsaber, called an ion-dao. It is dual-bladed with one side kyanite and the other a lightsaber beam powered by an ionized Kyber crystal.
