Void

The mythical, mystical, and mysterious energy portals that operate randomly, or can be controlled by rather a "Void Control" device or computer, or one of the few individuals who has partial or complete control over the strange energy.

In many EC Series, Void is a random portal that will pop up in the middle of a scene, rather someone appearing from a portal, or someone getting sucked INTO a portal. Many random occurrences in issues are a part of the story.

There are also three types of Void Portals common to the EC Universe. Normal, commonly called simply "VOID" Portals, "Temporal Void", and "Fractal Void".

Along with Portals, there are two types of "wastelands" that you can only access by Void Portals: the "Void Haven" and "Void Abyss".

### **Void Portals**

The normal type of energy portals. They can send someone to any other place, across lands, planets or even galaxies. One of the most important Void portals was the one that sent Flame(Windfire) and Camo to Caxler. This was foresaw in the ancient texts of the Flamium Archives, and led to Flame defeating the evil Lord Destructo, ending the Great War.

Other Void portals led to the lost Summit "brothers" being reunited. Ashar(Spontane C.) met his "brother", Beam(Adome Robets/Summit) through Beam appearing via a Void portal that he couldn't control.

### **Temporal Void**

Time travel is only possible in the EC Universe through a Temporal Void Portal, one that can only be controlled by Lord Vidé, his wife Lady Vida, one of the three "Children of Void"(Spontane C., Beam, and the TK Dantré), or Takai Riphius.

It was through a Temporal Void portal that Sybella arrived in the 1980's, escaping her fate, and ultimately meeting Maximus Magnus.

Another Temporal Void portal sent Ripster back to Ancient Nitron, setting his true destiny into order. This led to Ripster becoming who he'd believed to have been his ancestor, when in truth he was becoming his destined self as the "Chosen One", Takai Riphius.

The largest Temporal Void portal was created, years later, by Takai Riphius, as he sent Ancient Nitron to the present, so his friends, the "Disciples of Riphius" could come to the present day.

### **Fractal Void**

A creation of Takai Riphius, through the mystical "Staff of Kazar". Only Riphius has access to this ultimate punishment and weapon if he so summons it. It inverts known reality, causing whoever the energy is focused on, to be drained of whatever elemental power, dark energy, or other would-be attack strength, completely and turned against them, typically leaving Riphius victorious.

It was Fractal Void that Riphius used to defeat Dantré, in Ancient Nitron, before Dantré(who had become a dark Void sorcerer) could use Void for his own purposes.

### **The Controllers of Void**

#### **Lord Vidé**

Born Alexios, in Ancient Atlantis, the lost/fabled Island Kingdom, as Alexios--his wife Ilona, and daughter Sybella--sharing lineage with the Greek God of Time, Chronos. After learning of his chosen destiny, the Master of the Energies of Void. After escaping the fate of Atlantis, Alexios knew he would outlive all those he knew and love. After years of learning more than he could ever know--from the Flamium Archives of the Ancient T'Roans, the Texts of the Realm of Light, and beyond.

After helping his daughter Sybella learn of her fate, he arrived back in Ancient Greece, where Ilona spent her last years, until her passing. He spent the next 4 centuries in Void Haven, later realizing he could've saved Ilona before losing her. After mastering the magicks of Void and Temporal Void, he travelled back in time to save Ilona before her passing, and granted her the same powers he had.

The two soon arrived in the Salzair System, and taking his new name, Lord Vidé, alongside his wife, Lady Vida, they took a simple life, able to use the magicks within them to change form and live Mortal lives once again. Always remembering Sybella, Vidé and Vida would not see their daughter again, but knew she would become something amazing herself, being imbued by the powers of Chronos.

Soon, after growing in power, Vidé became able to communicate with the T'Roan Spirit Gods, he learned of the Destinies of several, including Windfire, Ripster, and more. Centuries passed, and after aiding King Magnus in the overthrow the last of the Dark Desciples of "The Omega", Vidé was became part of the **Keepers of the Archives**, an ancient group that was founded by Takai Riphius.

After Vidé had spent time aiding Riphius, he reunited with Vida, who had taken a mortal lifespan, and the two had another child, their Son, Adome.

#### **Lady Vida**

Born Ilona, in Ancient Atlantis, she lived like the rest of her people, until she fell in love with an Astronomer and Scientist, Alexios. Soon after they were married, she gave birth to their daughter, Sybella. On the day Atlantis was destroyed in the fabled flood, she took their young daughter, alongside hundreds of other survivors, and went through a Temporal Void portal, arriving millennia into the future in the year 980 AD in Greece.

After years of not knowing the fate of Alexios, and watching Sybella grow and learn about her own fate, Ilona aged and soon passed. Alexios(who at this time had taken the steps of his own destiny) arrived in the small homestead where Ilona now lived with a few other Greeks, and told her he had returned to save her. Taking her into the Portal he'd opened, he took her to Void Haven and soon granted her the powers to change her own destiny.

Spending centuries with her husband, and now known as Lady Vida, Mistress of Void, she took her own path, travelling to the Tolarian System, as well as the planet Visbuk, in the Iglesian Order, which she learned was full of unstable Void Energies. It was there she became one with the power of Foresight, linking with not only Priestesses from the Realm of Light, but with others across several other worlds and realities.

Once she had discovered more, and aided Dr. Keller on Earth in the final phase of his creation of the Metalloid known as "Camo", she returned to where she and her husband had arrived centuries earlier, the world of T'Roa in the Salzair System. Soon after, the pair adopted the family name, Robets, and had a son, Adome.

### **Takai Riphius, the Chosen One**

Born Ripster of Riveé in the Time before the GREAT WAR of T'Roa, and sent through Temporal Void to achieve his true destiny, Riphius, along with his disciples, Kaxius, Talmium, Alxian, along with Kaxius' son, Larat, fought against the **Ruler**(his former ally and friend, Dantré) of (Ancient) Nitron.

As the world of Nitron, centuries before Vidé, lay in ruin, due to the powers of the Ruler, Riphius, using the Staff of Kazar, was able to bring light back to the world of Nitron, all while bringing Ancient Nitron to the present day, and reuniting friends and family, as well as setting his own destiny into place.

Riphius, using the Staff of Kazar, became a Demi-God, nearly as powerful as the Seven Spirit Gods of T'Roa, and even battled both Dark versions of himself, as well as the Dark Twin Spirit Gods. Knowing he had a destiny to fulfill, Riphius traveled through Temporal Void, and began to spend time meditating as well as founding the Keepers of the Archives, which would be where Vidé would be taught.
