My first roleplay character on every front I have been on and my second character on COX after a failed tanker. I am an advanced roleplayer and Eldrac has evolved for over 10 years in my mind and is such quite powerful but I will not lord this over anyone at all. The article is subject to revisions.

[edit] Affiliations
Sidekick (Much to his personal chagrin) of the New Heroes Union
[edit] Personality
Prefers to keep low key and is dark by nature. Has a strict militaristic attitude to many but has a warm heart underneath the façade. Has a strict moral code he adheres to but drops it if he has to. Eldrac is a survivor in essence. He usually has a superior attitude to many heroes and sees them as tragic idealists and finds them actually quite laughable in their attitude to villains. Feeling that in their pursuit for justice against them, they have lost sight of the Rikti invasion and also the fact without the villains, they will have no purpose in life and will fade into the background once more. Eldrac decides to keep himself in the background as he has ulterior motives in regard to the Rikti and the many meta-humans on the planet. Eldrac in his quiet moments seems to suffer from great personal stress and harbours a deep depression rooting from being almost immortal.
[edit] Motivation
Eldrac is a hero in essence, but is also known to do things which are less heroic such as actually killing villains and rejecting authority. Eldrac's motivation lies in bettering himself and atoning for the sins of his ancestors and himself. He seeks redemption.

[edit] Primary Powers
Eldrac's primary powers stem from his unique genealogy and his training. His extensive Martial Arts training on Maranae has toughened his body to monumental proportions. He has created his own effective martial arts style known a Lionheart. Lion-Heart was created in a collaboration between Narshal Spardanae and Eldrac Spardanae as a fighting style for other super-naturals who could shift their perception from 20 events per second to nearly 100 resulting in a dilated perception or slow motion, in face to face combat at close range it deals with grabs followed by strikes or by breaking appendages either initiated by the user or as a reversal move. At a distance and also these tactics can be used up close, quick rushing kicks and acrobatic boosts into the air followed by an aimed strike to the head or neck, or the momentum is used for a throw if the opponent retaliates. The style encompasses the use of weapons usually using a light ranged weapon, such as a pistol and a sword (that the user is comfortable in using in one hand), using the blade to strike up close and the pistol at range with swift flowing motions, also the pistol can be used up close in a quick punching style motion followed by discharging a shot from the weapon. Eldrac also in the centuries he has persisted in this plain of reality has learned every fighting skill known to all species.
[edit] Secondary Powers
Eldrac's reflexes are near instantaneous owing to being able to perceive the world in dilated perception and his advanced training. As the gravity is much stronger on Maranae and the Eladari's genealogy of growing tall has resulted in a much more fiborous muscle structure which is much stronger and tougher than most enabling acrobatic feats previously unseen on Earth and Maranae.
[edit] Additional Powers
Eldrac has mastered every aspect over his body and as such can manage his energy effectively. In lieu with this he can use the inner demonic energy contained within to unleash rays from his eyes and even unleash a torrent of energy to tear through oppents near him. His demonic powers have nearly fully materialised after their suppression and Eldrac now can transform into his demonic form and is followed by a strange dark aura.
[edit] Travel
Eldrac has volatile amounts of energy within him that enable him to unleash it in different ways. He used to use it for astonishing amounts of speed but as he has grown in strength he does not need to use it for this reason any more as he is fast without expending his precious energy, and as such has learned how to fly again, while training this skill he used replacement wings until his demon form reawakened and he used the wings from this form. Now his manipulation over energy has enabled him to fly without wings.
[edit] Power Pool
Fitness: Eldrac has honed his body to such a point that he regenerates quickly and can run at high speeds. Fighting: Eldrac has learned many fighting styles, but the basics will always stay, also in keeping with the basics he has found he can survive many more hits. Flight: Eldrac has now learned the fine details of flight and as such can knock flying enemies down from their vantage with a massive double axe handle.
[edit] Abilities
Eldrac has many abilities owing to his advanced age. He has expansive knowledge of computers, weapons and armour technology, psychology, sociology, languages, manipulation and leadership. He can adapt to many situations with his equipment and powers such as switching Martial Arts styles mid-fight and using his reflexes to find gaps in defences. He is also a skilled repairer and negotiator which improves his relations with villain and hero alike.
[edit] Vulnerabilities
Eldrac is in a weakened state after arriving on Earth, he has a sensitivity to radiation and to light as well.
[edit] Equipment
Maedryn Grand-Archon morphing armour and comlink.
[edit] Character History
Eldrac's history is known to none but himself but the legend persists in the minds of those who have met him on Maranae.
[edit] Birth and Early life
Eldrac was born when an Eladari Princess fell for the charms of a rebel Demon Knight. Aelas Ultar and Leonus Spardanae were their names. They fell in love and for many years lived in relative happiness and bore a son, they named him Eldrac after an ancient hero from the first war and the name of the warrior which woke Leo up to the other end of the spectrum and caused him to rebel against his nature. Eldrac lived for many years in the trees above the Anari basin in the white forests. Eldrac was taught at an early age the history of his heritage and was taught to defend himself by his father. Until the fateful day on his 16th birthday. When chaos came back to the world and he was forced to grow up rapidly to serve his Grandfather. Inheriting his Mother's green eyes and brown hair but curiously not inheriting his fathers black hair and red eyes, he was safe from Demonic influence for now.
[edit] Teenage to adult life
Eldrac was taught be his Father the intricacies of Maranae demons in his late teens, when he thought that the young knight to be would be able to handle the truth about his parents. Obviously Eldrac was shocked to find this out but accepted it whole-heartedly as he loved his parents. Demons, his father explained, on Maranae were angelic beings that had been stripped of their very souls and cast down from the heavens to the underworld where they have battled for years against the original inhabitants of the Soul Rivers. The Archox are chaos beings and soul devourers, they catch the unlucky tainted souls and devour them to be sent to the hells. With the arrival of the soulless Demons who wished to take this land for themselves a huge chaos war erupted with both sides never gaining any ground. The six demon knights were the first to find the secret to defeating the Archox.
Through filling the void in themselves where their soul should have been with the souls of others they could gain the powers of their victims, which meant the Archox. Leo told Eldrac of the six who discovered this and what unholy powers they gained:
Malask: Demon Knight of the Sundering - Destruction and Earth Leo Spardanae: Demon Knight of the Blade - Weapons and Martial Skill Utash: Demon Knight of the Dark Flame - Flame and Shadow (typically Dark Magic) Erical: Demon Knight of Sorrow - Water and Controlling (Dark Psionics) Yoria Jutar: Demon Knight of the Dark Lover - Succubus and Incubus (Seduction skills and enthralment) Liriel: Demon Knight of the Shattered Mirror - Dimensional powers and Illusion
Leo was one of the six and one of the most powerful owing to the many souls he devoured, he gained near invulnerability and fighting skills that could challenge the Gods. The first war was forged when the Demons started performing these dark rituals and Liriel decided to branch out into another world, which they had looked down upon. They came to Maranae and the first chaos war was joined, all the sentient races of the planet facing the Archox and Demons. They were defeated when Leo rebelled and struck down Liriel and the portals closed leaving several trapped on Maranae. Leo explained that over the years the Demon's took on their frightening countenances after devouring so many souls and becoming like the monstrous Archox. Eldrac had met one once and had nightmares ever since, the spidery legs, the bare and skinless torso and the goat horned head with eyes as black as night. Eldrac was taught all of this over the years of his young adulthood. His faith was shattered though, he felt disillusioned with the tolerance of man as they had to live far away from others because of what Leo was, and Eldrac felt more connection to chaos with each passing lesson. Leo noticing this taught him to suppress his powers, but it was all too late as Leo was taken from Eldrac on his 18th Birthday and portals started appearing. The second chaos wars had begun.
[edit] The Second War and Awakening
A portal had opened up behind the complacent Leo during the night and the armoured visage of Liriel appeared and dragged him back into the underworld as quickly as she had come, no one to this day has even found out what gruesome fate awaited him. Aelas and Eldrac were distraught, they mourned for a while but something terrible awakened within Eldrac staining his eyes red and hair black from the green and brown they had been before. Eldrac's Eladari DNA was combining with his Demonic causing him to give into the blood-lust that now consumed him, he wanted to fight, he wanted to torture, he wanted to kill.
And he got that chance.
The second incursion into Maranae had begun in earnest and it seemed that Demon and Archox had joined forces and called themselves simply chaos. Betrayal ran rife through the Eladair and Human courts and cults were formed all over in worship to these new dark gods. Eldrac was stole away by his Mother to her Father Eldtarsh's home in the Ultar region of Maranae far to the north, long hidden with arcane magic’s. He met his Grandfather for the first time, expecting him to be a tyrant; Eldrac was surprised to find he was kind and understanding. He explained that he never sent them away but was willing to allow them to stay. The city itself was a marvel to behold, architecture smooth and flowing and the people beautiful, humans called them "Elves". Eldtarsh was the most regal of them all in flowing black robes and shining silver plate adorning his slim frame. His eyes were green and his hair blonde and flowing. For the next one hundred years, as the world burned around them and the memory of the hidden clan of Shadow Eladari faded into history, Eldrac came to know the kindness and ruthlessness of the Eladari. He learned of their culture and as he was part demon, he could not control the light aligned magic’s of the Eladari, he was placed in the care of the Blackwatch, Ultar's elite defence force, still battling the Chaos even after they had conquered all.
Eldrac learned the ways of the Black Knight, the battle psyker. He learned the ways of the leader and advanced tactics. He was taught to use every weapon that was ever forged, taught to use his mind to manipulate the world and taught how to kill with no remorse. Soon enough he had reached the pinnacle of training, top of his unit and was ready to fight. No one knows the horrors he saw on the battlefield, the war waged for an age. Blood was on his lips daily and he became his name-sake, the great Slayer. Eventually he was rewarded as a prince should be he united the remaining free people of the planet and was made a Black Knight of the realm, given his own slice of land and soldiers to command he took the fight to the heart of Chaos and the massive gate created by Liriel, his revenge drove his blood-lust into over-drive and he fell into madness cutting down everyone in his path. He sprouted wings, developed a shadowy aura and his eyes started to glow with demonic energies. His armour twisted upon his body and flowed with this new energy. Liriel cackled in his face, mocking him, but she was overconfident and foolish, he struck her down with no remorse and no words. The gate closed and the rest of the forces of Chaos on the planet either repented or were destroyed as Eldrac in his new form became a tyrant. The reign of Eldrac Spardanae had begun and the Demon king of Maranae showed no mercy to any species, if he was challenged, they were given a swift introduction to the pain of death.
[edit] Stasis
Eldrac's reign was not kind, people were slaughtered and the child that the Ultar Eladari had taken in so long ago. Another hundred years had passed since he had become the demonic king and a plan was forged by Aelas and her father. They could not possibly kill him as they could sense the real him still in there. They found the last of the ancient stasis caskets which had previously housed the Eladari after their departure from an unknown world, they were all gathered up and destroyed but this one was left for some long forgotten reason. In their foolishness, they launched assault after assault on his citadel, all failed as the twisted guards had the taint of demonic energies within them. Eldrac strode arrogantly into the battlefield towards his one time family, his armour more twisted than ever. Face to face with his Mother and her tears he let his guard down a little and was ambushed from behind from a face he had not seen for years, Leo was back.
Awakening in his human form he was being dragged by his Father and Grandfather to the casket. His screams falling on death ears except for the sobbing Aelas, he was thrown into the casket. His Father looked into his eyes; a silent tear fell onto his sons face as he closed the coffin. Darkness consumed him and he faded from history.
[edit] The Maedryn
Millennium's passed as Eldrac lay dormant, the land evolved; the people embraced technology and reached to the stars. Chaos persisted even in this world, forgotten by all they festered in the heart of the cities, bloody murders were committed in the name of the Dark Gods once again, but they were rivalled now by another incursion into this land. Aliens had come to Maranae and several species were peaceful and offered trade but others joined the Chaos cults and some just came to kill. Maranae became a hub of galactic commerce but an ill wind was on the air. There were some that fought against Chaos, named The Maedryn, led by the second son of Aelas, Narshal. Aelas, Eldtarsh and Leo were long gone and Narshal was left with their legacy, to protect the world of chaos and hold vigil over his brother’s tomb for eternity. The Maedryn were the remnants of the Eladari after the race wars hundreds of years ago, they recruited people from all walks of life and were the "Shadowkin", the Heroes in the Dark.
Narshal was watching the casket as per usual, he felt a disturbance that morning and brought the last remaining relics of his Father, swords forged for his sons, two Katana's one with a dragon on the blood red hilt and the other with a skull on an emerald green hilt. His suspicions were answered as a black arm burst from the stone and opened the casket. Something had been torturing Eldrac while he was laid there, something had attached itself to his body and shown him the pain he had caused. A changed man emerged from that casket and as he was introduced to his brother and given the blade, he realised what he had to do.
Redemption...
[edit] Paragon
Eldrac became the Grand Archon of the Maedryn alongside his brother. They fought together for many years against chaos, on Maedryn and beyond and in their pursuit for knowledge that was unending learned all there was to know about this galactic zone. In their one-mindedness they overlooked a new threat from the deep reaches of space. The Rikti suddenly appeared and attacked a world almost out of their sight, Earth. Eldrac had watched the planet for a while and made trips there on the odd occasion to learn from the human inhabitants and was impressed by their adaptability and technology. Meta-humans were an acute interest of his and he watched as they warred among themselves as the people of his world had years before. The Rikti upset the balance there, they should not have been there, inter dimensional travellers.
Eldrac pleaded with the council of Maedryn to go there and save the heroes but they took too long and it was up to the Earth's heroes and Villains to defend themselves. Their heavy losses convinced the council and Eldrac travelled to Earth on the Devil's Lament, his personal cruiser. As he got there a huge wave of radiation left by the Rikti invasion hit the ship and fried his systems and caused his body to go into intense shock, he plummeted into Paragon and crash landed into Faultline, his body was thrown out and the ship was buried by the constant shifting of the land. Eldrac was found by a group of heroes and taken to Atlas Park where he remained for a year recovering from intense injuries after the crash. The wave had stripped him of his powers and the lingering radiation of the planet kept them suppressed. Eldrac has built his body back up over time, achieving the recognition of many of Paragon's heroes and maximum security level 5. He now seeks a way to get home, either by reforming the shattered shards of his memory and find his ship or helping Portal Corporation so he could use them to get home.
"I will redeem myself..."
[edit] Trivia
Eldrac in Earth language Spanish means "The Dragon". In Eladarian it means "Slayer"
