Eluscara

> Eluscara, mere moments before committing the greatest atrocities, greatly surpassing human comprehension.

**Eluscara**, also known by **Elu**, or the **First Doll**, is an artificial human weapon who hasn't yet realized it isn't a normal human. The product of a long gone civilization, Eluscara's memories had vanished long before it had arrived in SMPixel. Eluscara has a second personality, The Doll, who has no compassion whatsoever and strives only to better itself, at any cost. Eluscara isn't yet aware of The Doll, but it won't be long before Eluscara is gone, and naught but The Doll will remain.

## Physiology

The Doll has pale skin as flawless as porcelain and blond hair tied up in two French braids, with a red ribbon at each end. Its eyes are a faint emerald green, not unlike the emerald brooch it always seems to be wearing. While normally dressed in a standard doll’s attire, it has been known to don a beautiful gown during more formal events.

As an automaton, The Doll is entirely mechanical, and isn’t made up of any traditional organic material. Its skeleton is completely made of netherite, with a strangely realistic “skin” making up The Doll’s outside (though it is colder than normal). Its hands and legs are unique, specially designed to perform feats of agility, precision, and strength that far outclass normal humans.

### Before SMPixel

The Doll was the first ever artificial human created in a long lost civilization from an alternate world. Powered using a magical substance called soulstream, a product of the realm of the nether, and built completely out of the similarly sourced netherite, it was the pinnacle of human engineering. More were built in the image of the original, though of lesser quality, and named Dolls in its stead. Originally intended to be used to for discovery and innovation, those in higher powers could only see one use for them: war.

War soon broke as nations would engage in bloody battles using armies of vicious Combat Dolls. It wasn't long before only two nations remained, the rest having been completely annihilated. The man who had invented The Doll, who called himself The Engineer, soon came to regret what he had created, and wanted nothing more than to see Dolls gone from the world. He spent several years turning his first Doll into a living weapon, hoping that it would be able to eradicate all other Dolls from the world. Knowing that The Doll would pose a danger to all of humanity if it was allowed to wreak havoc unrestrained, The Engineer imbued The Doll with humanity and emotion so it wouldn't just be a senseless killing machine. In a moment of selfishness, he gave it the personality of his late lover, who had been killed protecting him when the war had first broken out, and gave it her name, Eluscara. Elu was taught to make potions, and use weapons called crystals and anchors, things the original Eluscara had discovered during her research of the nether. Elu was also taught what its purpose was - to remove all Dolls from the world. Grateful for being created by him, Elu took every single word of his to heart, and vowed to fulfil its purpose.

Not long after Elu came into being, The Engineer's bunker was attacked by the forces the two nations. Both wanted to claim Elu for their own, sensing that it could be what changed the tides of the war. The Engineer was seemingly killed, and Eluscara taken captive by the nation of Epheotus. Subjected to horrific torture, The Doll's Eluscara personality was forced into a backseat, as its A.I. determined that humanity was worthless. Its humanity discarded, Elu escaped confinement and engaged a battle with the entire nation. Yet, as hard as it fought, it lost, and Elu was defeated. But as the battle drew to a close, the other nation of Terminus revealed itself, and begun its attack on the weakened Epheotan army.

Meanwhile, The Doll had beat beat into submission, and Eluscara had returned. Elu, still pursuing The Engineer's goal, decides to help Epheotus in the battle, under the condition that all of the nation's Dolls would be destroyed if they won. The condition accepted, Elu joins them in battle but finds the situation to be hopeless. Just as Elu was about to overwhelmed, The Engineer revealed himself to be alive. Having barely survived using the power of a healing potion, The Engineer had continued researching the original Eluscara's study of the nether, and had followed up on a discovery he had made years prior: an ancient race of creatures who contained unimaginable power. When he had first discovered them, The Engineer had stayed way from it, noticing how evil it was, instead placing faith in Eluscara. But when The Engineer had awoken after that battle and discovered Elu missing, he had concluded the project a failure and, in his desperation, turned to evil. Corrupted by the ancient race, The Engineer now wanted to resurrect one of them in the overworld, using its creation explosion to eradicate all the Dolls present at the battle. However, he was too far corrupted to realize that while he would achieve his goal, he would wipe out humanity as well. As the ancient creature was about to spawn, and destroy the entire world, Elu sacrificed itself, killing the creature with an explosion of its own by releasing the energy in the soulstream that powered its artificial body.

Elu would awaken in darkness. Elu could feel, see, hear, nothing. Elu was all on its own. With nothing but its own thoughts to occupy itself with, Elu would drift in and out of consciousness. Each time Elu awakened, it would think. About itself, about where it was, about The Engineer, anything. When it could think no more, it would drift back to sleep, and each time it would awaken, the cycle would continue. Yet, each time it awakened, it could remember less, and less, until it could barely remember its own name. It was on that day that Elu would fall asleep in the darkness for the last time.

The next time Eluscara awoke, it was greeted by the touch of smooth, wet grass, and a gentle breeze under its ears. The sky was a pale blue, and rolling hills dotted with trees filled the landscape. That was when it heard a loud burst, stirring Elu to its feet. In the distance, it identified the source of the sounds - fireworks, bursting with color in the sky above a busy town. With nowhere to go, and equipped with nothing but its own name, Elu made its way toward the town.
