Name: Rebecca (rework of wriggle's character)
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Race: Super Human
Profession and/or Talents: She's a rather gifted fighter
Inventory: A box cutter, basic combat knives, 2 smoke bombs and 2 flash bangs
Personality: Very childish and somewhat angry. She's co-dependent on her brother who is also the only person she trusts. Due to her confinement and the experiments done on her, Rebecca has turned into a rather spiteful person towards her parents. The bitterness in her heart grew and grew each day until they were finally killed by the mortars. Her twin brother was the only ray of sunshine during her childhood as he would often come play with her, tell her stories, read to her and do various other things to cheer her up. Because of this she came to the conclusion that everyone aside from her brother was evil
Rebecca almost never feels embarrassed or shy due to some minor brain damage. This cases her to act blunt and shamelessly at times when she may not realize what she is doing. She's very rude to strangers and sometimes even a bit cruel, but towards her brother she's sweet, loving and very generous.
History: Chapter 1:
On the outskirts of the Celestora Sector lies a star system with only one set of twin planets orbiting. The greater planet is called Geminiea Alpha, the lesser named Geminiea Beta. Geminiea Beta’s atmosphere is highly toxic and is unenterable without a special kind of spacecraft and unmanned drones. Geminiea Alpha, however, is incomparably habitable, with surprisingly earth-like climate but with more dynamic temperature range from one pole to another because of its’ steep angle of axis tilt.
No one truly knows the history of these two planets. Surprisingly, both Geminiea Alpha and Beta seemed to contain ruins of an ancient civilization. Architectural styles and artifacts found in the ruins suggest that the two planets were shared by one civilization, capable of interplanetary travels. However, the number of ruins on Geminiea Beta far outnumber the number of ruins on Geminiea Alpha, and considering the arduity of having an expedition in a planet with such a toxic atmosphere, their culture and writing were not very well known…
Until one day.
An expeditionary team of archaeologists who entered one of the last ruins of the ancient civilization on Geminiea Alpha a few days ago returned, dead-exhausted but overjoyed and proud in their arrival to their small colony with an unknown artifact pulsating in blue and black.
Spoiler: Show
None of the archaeologists and the scientists could figure out the true purpose of the artifact; however, they did discover that the artifact was constantly emanating electromagnetic energy, harmless to biological beings such as humans and animals and beneficial to machineries, overcharging them and making them more efficient without any sort of overheating drawbacks. Utilizing this energy, the colony located on Geminiea Alpha created the Gemini Reactor, supplying enough energy to power an entire planet for a week every hour.
News of this miraculous energy quickly traveled. Famous industrialists and entrepreneurs from other galaxies frolicked to marvel at this impressive energy. They set up their Venturian galaxy headquarters in the colony of Geminiea Alpha, now renamed Electra, and provided services for the colonists. With them followed immigrants from other galaxies looking for a new life. Within years, the small, almost pitiful archaeological colony grew into a city with more than 15 million inhabitants, housing the most innovative research groups, entertainment gurus, and business corporations in the entire galaxy. Some gave nickname to Electra as the “City of Eternal Day” as the lights never seemed to dim in the city.
The archaeologists who discovered the artifact and the scientists who reverse engineered the artifact into one of the most efficient reactors in the galaxy were heralded as heroes of the colony. With such honor came arrogance, however, as they began applying influence and pressure towards everything in the colony, especially politics. Eventually, they declared themselves the aristocrats and the others commoners, and acted like a nobility towards the so-called commoners. While the other colonists were enraged by this rude action, they could not say anything in return, as these scientists held control of the Gemini Reactor, and thus the entire colony.
For years the aristocrats of Electra and the others lived together in one giant city of instability and discrimination. It was no surprise that the so-called Electran powder keg would be set off soon enough. This bio is about the what happened before the powder keg went loose and what came after… to do that we must look through the eyes of the Kimaere family.
Chapter 2:
“No, Albert. I will absolutely NOT put my children in harm’s way like that.”
A seemingly upset woman argued with who seemed to be her husband at the dinner table. The wife had a bulging stomach that denoted her pregnancy, while her husband, Albert Kimaere, looked scrawny yet determined. His skinny hands expertly spun a pen in multiple twirls and fancy flips as he was fixated on his notes, not his meal in front of him.
“Kelly, listen.” Albert stopped playing with his pen and looked straight at his wife Kelly Kimaere’s hazel eyes earnestly. “You and I both know that this city will crumble on its’ own with the current government system. We must let this through.”
“Then why don’t we augment ourselves?” Kelly made an argument. “Why must we bring our kids into this rebellion?”
Albert and Kelly are galaxy’s most talented scientists in terms of genetics and, particularly, DNA manipulation. With the news of Electra’s recent success, their superior in Helix Foundation sent Albert Kimaere and Kelly Noshiro to lead a group of scientists to establish a headquarter in the sudden boom town. At first, the two were all-business; perfectionist attitude of Kelly and a goofy but extremely smart Albert did not mesh very well. However, fate had another call for them as they soon began to understand each other, fall in love and, with much praises and blessings, became a married, inseparable couple.
While they were merely on duty to create a headquarter in the Venturian Galaxy, living in Electra gave this newlywed couple a new goal. They witnessed that, hidden behind the heated developments in the city, lied in waiting cold hearts of the inhabitants within that could freeze the world with hatred. And their hatred all pointed towards the men in power: the Aristocrats as the residents called them. Backed by the incredible power of the Gemini Reactor, the Aristocrats did whatever they pleased. They were the invisible force behind how the city ran, the top 1% of the top 1%. They played god without permission from some sort of higher being. And when sparks of opposition started to simmer, they were immediately neutralized, their only source of power cut short.
Albert and Kelly’s morality was shattered by the Aristocrats’ ridiculous acts. They were unparalleled in their influence over the city and they needed to be stopped. The couple started a sort of revolutionary group, welcoming youngsters and the commoners to strike back against the Aristocrats. Their focus initially was to create riots and cause chaos in the city to give the Aristocrats the bad name to the outsiders, but every operation was spoiled by the Aristocrats’ privately-hired mercenaries acting as an organized army. With the entire power behind them and a dispensable military in front of them, the Aristocrats seemed impossible to topple by normal humans…
That’s where the two switched their vision. Instead of trying to resort to public dissonance, they devised a scheme to use genetics and create genetically superior super-soldiers that will infiltrate the Aristocrats, assassinate them, and seize the Reactor from the inside. In the midst of the plan, however, the husband and wife’s decision split. Kelly’s view of the plan was that they will augment grown men and women to deploy them immediately into the field, while Albert’s vision was to splice the DNAs of a newly-born infants so that the DNA splicing will be more effective, thus producing stronger super soldiers in exchange of quantity. With Kelly’s twin babies soon due, Albert was hoping to use his children as prototypes.
“Basic genetics, Kelly. Older people develop signs of rejection in their physical and mental state when exposed to new DNA strands.” Albert made a point.
That is true, Kelly thought. Possible side effects of splicing DNA strands into an already grown person could include dehumanization by mutation, loss of intelligence, and possible organ failures. “I know, Albert, but- I- I don’t want my children… our children, to become scapegoats. What if we mess up? What if there’s a flaw in our plan and if we make a mistake they might die or become mutated beyond repair-”
Albert stopped Kelly’s anxious rant by gently matching their lips together. A sudden kiss that stopped Kelly’s speech, hopefully to alleviate her worries.
“Trust me, darling. Trust yourself.” Albert assured his wife as he let go of her lips. “It was you who pointed out all the mistakes I made. It was you who developed the two separate sets of DNA strands to test. It was YOU that created this branch of Helix Foundation, not me. I know your perfectionistic attitude, and the Kelly Kimaera I know would not make a single mistake in this grand project.”
Kelly’s eyes teared up as she was bombarded with praises from her husband, moved and motivated. “Y… you think so?”
Albert looked at Kelly with his trustworthy eyes. If there was one thing that kept Kelly with Albert through his clumsiness, it was his honesty and integrity. “I know so.”
When the twins were born, Albert and Kelly decided not to call them Test Subjects 1 and 2 like they did with other experiments. They gave them a proper name: Thomas and Rebecca. They were treated with utmost of care and attention as their DNA were altered, slowly but surely.
Thomas was gifted with the DNA strands that expanded his mind, allowing him to understand, learn and think things faster than even a supercomputer. His DNA sets were simple, and Thomas showed no signs of biological mutation, which gave Thomas freedom from the test chambers at the age of 3. Thomas was a sweet child: docile, honest, and integral. Kelly would often joke about how Thomas behaved just like Albert.
Rebecca, however, was not as cooperative as Thomas. She was given the blessings of superhuman physicality: not only in performance but also in appearance as well. Even in her young age, she was mesmerizing and captivating, her presence a flawless harmony of grace and power; and her beauty only saw improvement as she aged into a nigh perfection. However, altering the physicalities of a person through DNA splicing was a very complicated job even for the brilliance of both Kelly and Albert. In 9 out of 10 times of the DNA strand testing, Rebecca showed signs of mutation, and the parents and her older brother Thomas could only watch her struggle in extreme pain.
The experiments caused an emotional divide between Rebecca and her parents. She began to associate seeing them with pain and suffering, which caused her to resent them. She quickly became difficult to control, even dangerous toh her parents. The only thing that kept her calm and under control as her older twin brother. Thomas spent a lot of his free time playing with, talking too and reading to his sister. Thomas became her only friend, and thus she was willing to do whatever he asked of her.
On the thirteenth year of experiments, the DNA experimentation was complete. Thomas has shown gift in nearly all aspects of science and engineering, especially cybernetics, nanotechnology, and quantum physics. He was creating arms, armor, and other technological breakthroughs unprecedented by humanity with ease in his workshop. Meanwhile, Rebecca was finally ready to be released out of her little test tube, her strength, agility, and durability off the charts.
Little did the Kimaera family know, however, that they were being spied on. For 12 years, the Kimaera couple managed to keep their superhuman project in secrecy. However, on the 13th year, the most notorious agent of the Aristocrats managed to witness the Kimaere’s last experiments on Rebecca, which was successful, and wasted no time in reporting this heinous act.
When word got back to the Aristocrats, they were very unhappy. The creation of super soldiers within the city without permission was seen as an act of treason, and a declaration of war. The following night, A small army of about 50 soldiers quietly surrounded their home. Armed with large cannons, heavy machine guns and various other high powered fire arms, the small army opened fire on the unsuspecting household.
Before they knew what hit them, the Kimaere family and their home were being torn apart by the merciless ballistics. Thomas and Rebecca's parents were blown apart almost instantly, but the twins were a bit more fortunate. They had been sleeping together in the basement. Rebecca didn't want to sleep on her own so Thomas agreed to stay up and watch TV with her, so long as they stayed in different bed sacks.
They both quickly jumped awake as they heard what was going on up stairs. Rebecca tried to run upstairs to see what was going on, but she was stopped by Thomas who grabbed her by the hand and pulled her outside through the secret escape hatch. They emerged safely a few yards away, but they looked on in horror at what became of their home.
Thomas was especially angry. Not only was his home lost forever, not only was his sister and he nearly killed, but his mother and father were most likely killed in the explosion. Thomas had always been a nice, quite boy, but seeing such a horrid sight of unwarranted violence caused something in his brain to snap. He knew that logically speaking he would most likely lose to the small army if he attacked him, but all he could think about was seeing them defeated. Luckily for him, that concentrated will allowed him to quickly figure out the best cores of action to do just that.
He managed to get the drop on the army and took out of of the machine gunners. Once that was done he was able to shoot down a good portion of the soldiers rather easily. After all there were only so many machine gunners and they were the only ones using guns small enough to be used at close range. anything else would have caused the men to blow up or kill some of their own. Because of this, Thomas had a psychological advantage, and he wasn't' about to give the enemy time to think it through. He quickly took out the remaining machine gunners
He was able to take out most of them while keeping the other soldiers off his back with his superior strength and speed. He was smart enough to focus on both tasks at once so it was rather easy for him to do this normally complicated task. However he was too slow and one of the other machine gunners was aiming directly at him. Another second and he would have been dead, but Rebecca wouldn't allow that.
Before they knew what hit them, the gunner had been diced in half by Rebecca''s razor sharp nails. In truth she didnt' care that the soldiers had destroyed her home or slaughtered her parents, but one of them tried to threaten her brother, and THAT was unforgivable. The fight was long and hard, but eventually the two managed t defeat and kill all 50 of the soldiers. Exhausted from the fight, the twins lay on their backs and gazed up at the night sky. Rebecca had taken a beating, but Thomas was mostly uninjured. this was most likely because Rebecca was trying harder to save her brother than she was to stay alive.
Realizing her pitiful state, Thomas felt a little guilty. He turned to her and spoke softly "Hey... I'm sorry I dragged you into that. I just... I don't know what happened. It's like..."
Rebecca cut him as she got up herself. Her wounds were healing surprisingly quickly. She didnt' seem bothered by what just happened, if anything it looked like she enjoyed it. Like it was all one big game to her. "I'm fine, you don't need to worry." she told him
The twins stayed there for a moment to rest, but before long they could hear the distant sound of reinforcements coming their way. They wer forced to leave whatever was left of their parents behind as they fled into the city. It's been five years since then. Thomas and Rebecca have since made a home out of an old abandoned grocery store. Ever since that day, the twins have been constantly fighting both to protect themselves and to avenge their parents. Thomas vowed to bring down the Aristocrats, and Rebecca promised to help him in any way she could.
Notes: I made some Edit's to the history and Rebecca's personality because I looked at the app and well... she didn't really have one.

Really important summary of almost everything important that is really important to help make things make sense again, which is important.
And now I make this official. yay.
Ok so after some derping and more derping I have come to streamline the entire EG timeline to a point where I can summarize everything from Aion's and Ananke's perspective, which brings me to what this post is ultimately about because it gives the entirety of Phoenix a new backbone and a somewhat surprisingly easy-to-explain method of making everything make sense.
Now the first question is: Who is Ananke?
Some might remember Anankerisa. This is not her, well... not exactly. This is who will be replacing her (and Aurora) in the grand scheme of things.
Long story short: Ananke is the realized "identity" of the Unknown, or the Void.
Summary of long story (aka making sense of everything in one fell swoop (which is the surprising part)):
The Unknown was originally an AI made by the Caeles (the original race inhabiting the Eternal Galaxy (now known as the Venturian Galaxy) that are descendants of humans) to control the GAIA Computer. Specifically, Venturia Leonares herself made this AI. Initially, the GAIA computer was set to utilize the void in its functions. A glitch caused the AI to become fused to the void, creating the then named Unknown. Because the Unknown couldn't comprehend itself anymore, it became confused, which turned to simulated emotions of frustration and anger. It's anger became manifested in the form of the Nihiliods (conglomerates of entities formed from the void which behave like parasitic insectoid organisms), which lashed out at everything that existed. Venturia then created the Phoenix Code in an attempt to purge the GAIA computer of the Unknown, however this backfired as the Unknown altered the code to reset the entire Galaxy instead. Venturia managed to make one last alteration to the code which minimized the damage this new Phoenix Code would do before it activated. This would be the first Phoenix Incident. Caeles were forced to flee to an alternate timeline, which they would turn into Heaven's Forge. They would be trapped there due to the Unknown's tampering with the GAIA Computer. Venturia managed to essentially partition the computer into two parts, which managed to trap the Unknown into a more limited part of the system while allowing her to still potentially work on it to find a new fix.
The newly formed galaxy created 3 new races: Arcains and Prometheos. Venturia (pretending to be Nyx) would create Aion Leonares, a prometheos man who would be time incarnate. This was an attempt to create someone who could reset the GAIA Computer physically, however complications arose as she discovered that all life in the galaxy was now tied to the system, and thus resetting it would essentially wipe out all life. Prometheos would dominate the newly formed social structure of the galaxy, especially in the system which housed the central hub of the GAIA Computer, which would be named Origin. Arcains eventually would revolt and during said revolution, the GAIA Computer would be found and the Phoenix Code would be activated again. Prometheos took a massive hit to their numbers, bordering extinct, while Arcains survived with no really memory of the time before. Two new races plus a plethora of races that would be lumped under one category are created: Vatians, Papillians, and the Irians. Irians would include a recreation of Humans.
Fast forward: Origin becomes the epicenter of what would be known as the Trace Revolution after years of an "illusion of progress" (essentially, the galaxy seemed to reach an utopian era, but this utopia covered up stagnation). Trace, an android with the AI equivalence of a reincarnation of the Unknown, would inadvertently start an AI revolution that would wipe out the entire Outer Rim of the Galaxy. This was mainly a result of the Unknown's influence over Trace and the adaptation of Nihiliods as a sort of "technological plague." The plague, nicknamed the Madness, would cause virtually all technology and organics in contact with technology to develop various symptoms. It's primary symptom was the development of enraged AIs that would take over anything that could house an AI, and irritability and paranoia in organics. The Trace Revolution would come to a close back at Origin when the Inner Rim had managed to purge itself, except at Origin. Trace would put an end to the revolution herself by "dying" at the hands of the Republic's leaders, who would make her out as the villain of the Revolution, while there are those who would justify it as a means to "wake up" the stagnating galaxy. The Republic used their newly created mega-station, the Daedalus Project, to isolate and essentially "erase from knowledge" the Origin system, putting it into virtually permanent quarantine. The Trace Revolution, and most of what happened before, during, and after it would be placed during a time period known as the Great Blank.
Due to the sheer volume of death that occurred during Trace's Revolution, decaying Aura energy (aka life force) caused an increase in instabilities in space-time, known either as Fissures of Time or Rifts, which opened paths to alternative timelines. Before the end of the revolution, Trace had sent out a group of people she called Rixtravians (or Rift Walkers) in an attempt to save some from the Madness should the worst occur, specifically in a relatively safe haven from technology that could host the Madness: the Mirror Sea. Unfortunately, they misinterpreted what she told them as "they had to find a way out to a similar timeline as the one they lived in that didn't have the Madness." This would cause the Rixtravians to trap themselves in three intertwining timelines: Chronorift, the Rift of Day, and the Rift of Night. They would eventually settle the seemingly post-apocalyptic timeline, the Rift of Night, since Chronorift was the incarnation of the chaos of unstable time and the Rift of Day, while it seemed ideal, housed hidden dangers.
Fast Forward: Venturia manages to revive Aion, who would go as Revere Exorco and would be placed in the Helios System. Meanwhile the Unknown finds out how to create Nihlumbri, or Void Ghosts. These ghosts would be "memories" of those that either the Nihiliods kill or those that die near Origin. the Unknown manages to create a Nihlumbri of Aion after the GAIA Computer revived the other copy, which results in a true revival of Aion (who would go as Aion Rixtravius) that would wind up in Chronorift in the Mirror Sea of the Helios System as well.
Fast Forward: Revere is found by Materia, a Vatian woman who had a vision of him bringing an end to the Republic. She also has contacts in the Commonwealth, who happens to be at war with the Republic. Materia wants to use Revere to help her bring an end to both the Commonwealth and the Republic so that she could gain power in a revived Empire, with Lady Avonna, the true heir to the imperial throne who was ousted by the council of the Republic and now serves on that council, because the Republic wanted it to "look good" so as to not lose too much favor with imperial sympathizers. (but this happened during the Great Blank so no one really knew what the Empire was like therefore making this ultimately superfluous.) Revere figures out Materia's true intentions but agrees to help her as it would gain him power in the Commonwealth's military. He then takes over the Commonwealth's military fleets and begins his own campaign to destroy the Daedalus Project after he learns that it houses a replica of the GAIA Computer. (Read: he knows what the GAIA Computer can do and does not want anyone else to have that power.)
Fast Forward: Aion Rixtravius became a part of a group of mercenaries known as the Hunters' Guild and gained contact with Lady Avonna through Orion, the leader of the Hunters' Guild who served as a Republic war hero that had lost favor after trying to reinstate the Empire by force. Aion would become a key player for Avonna in the fight against the Commonwealth, however once he learns that a copy of himself was leading the Commonwealth, he would wind up being a double agent to help revive the Empire. Due to a conflict of interests, tensions rise between Aion and Revere since Aion would want to keep the Daedalus project active since it was hiding Origin, which he wanted to remain hidden due to learning that it might have become completely infested with Nihiliods. This conflict would culminate in the final Daedalus Project Raid, where Revere had managed to capture the Daedalus Project but Aion, backed by the Empire, would lead the counter attack to reclaim it. One of the two finds out that the other, after killing them, held a fragment of the sword Iris, which the original Aion possessed. The fragment contains their collective memories including some of those of the Unknown and Venturia. This reveals what the Unknown is doing in Origin as well as Aion's purpose for being created. (Note I'm still debating on which Aion kills which, so either Revere or Aion Rixtravius kills the other. From here on out, the reference to Aion will be whoever I decide to live. This Aion will take over the place of Aion Rixtravius)
Aion doesn't know how to approach the challenge of stopping the Nihiliod threat without causing everyone to find Origin. Unfortunately, some of Aion's friends starts to figure out where Origin is based on the Daedalus Project. This accelerates the issue and eventually causes Aion to enter Origin to confront the Unknown. What he finds is the Unknown has taken on an identity: it thinks itself as Aion's sister, which it named itself Ananke. Ananke has been trying to create an existence, which contradicts what she is and has been partially successful. She is glad that Aion has finally "come home" but is afraid of him since she suspects he's there to destroy her.
- This is the part where I have three possible endings:
True ending: Aion destroys her to put an end to the Nihiliods
Alternate 1: Aion spares her and it works out. Nihiliods stop.
Alternate 2 aka Phoenix: Aion spares her and it doesn't work out. Nihiliods and the Madness consumes the galaxy and wipes out virtually all life, turning the entire galaxy into a place where it is nothing but a "dollhouse" for Ananke to place the Nihilumbris. (Or... ghost house would be more accurate.) The Madness becomes a sort of "immune system" against any new life that enters. It is drawn to use of Venturian technology that uses Gaia or Aura energy (or specifically anything that involves a Corlaviri crystal power core). The Nihiliods serve as the "absolute" response that terminates anything that "does not belong" as according to Ananke.
Nihiliod profile:
BASIC INFORMATION
- Nihiliod: Particle entities that are typically found in 2 forms: one that resemble parasitic microorganisms and another that takes the shape of a quadrupedal insectoid creature with razor-like legs.
- Nihiliod particles, Nihims, are reportedly harmless and inert, however the Nihiliod Microorganism, Nihili, exhibit primitive sentient behaviors.
- While Nihiliods behave like entities that exist, all notable features are considered simulated. What they are at a basic level is still unknown.
NIHIM
- Particles seem to react to electrostatic pulses, such as those found in most organisms' nervous system.
- If diluted with a mixture composed of water and corlaviri, seems to enhance most species' cognitive functions. This solution, called Nitri, is reported to be safe if taken in moderation.
- Attracted to Aura energy, allowing other Nihim particles to react to other particles and start to form bonds and thus create the structures contained in Nihili.
- In certain configurations, traditional means of detection become invalid. In short, it can appear as a void in space where nothing exists.
- The Nihim particles somehow are capable of forming various types of atoms using Aura and Gaia energy to create the bonds between particles. It has been tested that breaking these bonds do not hinder the overall structure; very little energy is needed to replace any bonds, which grants the overall structure it's resilience.
NIHILI
- Attracted to ambient Aura energy as well as high levels of Gaia radiation, thus causing them to be drawn to centers with concentrations of organic life and places using large quantities of Gaia energy.
- Capable of breaking down virtually any matter and convert it using Aura or Gaia energy into more Nihim particles and thus create more Nihili.
- Resilient, capable of withstanding all known conditions, excluding high levels of Aura radiation. When exposed to concentrated Aura radiation, the Nihili undergo what can only be described as a phase shift to that of a solid, where any addition of energy causes a breakdown of the Nihili's simulated cellular structure. It then falls apart into the basic Nihim particles, rendering it harmless.
- Can be masked from detection by configuring it's simulated cellular wall. This makes the organisms appear to be a void in space.
- Utilizes nearby sources of Aura or Gaia energy and Nihim particles to reproduce.
NIHILIOD
- Conglomerates of Nihili microorganisms, gaining what appears to be advanced cognitive functions and sentience. A Nihiliod will actively track and hunt prey, manipulate technological devices with finesse, and mimic traits of other sentient beings.
- Can change their basic form at will, if it helps it complete a task.
- Will typically engage prey to disable and to create vulnerabilities so that Nihili can infect the target.
- Have an exoskeleton-like structure which hardens and softens actively. It has been reported that a Nihiliod will allow prey to break the shell if it is advantageous.
- The exoskeleton can arrange itself so as to mask the entire creature as if it was a void in space.
- It has been also reported that it can utilize a form of active camouflage. This has not been confirmed.
- The typical form is about 6m long with legs extended, has a shoulder width of about 1m, legs of 2m, and shoulder width of 1m. They normally stand about 1m high.
NOTES ON INFECTION:
- Nihili will destroy and replace structures in order to take control. They can simulate both organic and inorganic systems.
- They will add structures, if necessary, to achieve control. This is how Nihiliods can take control of technological systems.
- It is virtually impossible to distinguish a Nihiliod-created structure from a normal structure.
- When the infection completely overtakes the brain, the host is considered dead.
- Nihiliods are known to use infected hosts as part of their exoskeleton once the infection is advanced enough.
- Any connection to the nervous system allows the infection to influence the host. This results in what is known as the Madness.
TFW you realize that technically Nihiliods don't have a limit and could consume and replace a planet if they wanted to.
...actually... that might be a good idea... I must derp further...
Ok grand plan to help give an overall goal
To make sense of my scribblings, I need to drop some plot:
- Still running with the keystone concept. Instead of having Aurora trapped by them due to being fused with the Phoenix Code, now they're just a safety measure to prevent the Phoenix code from being utilized by Ananke.
- The purpose for gathering the keystones is now essentially a trap: Any one of my characters, excluding Ignis, that have mentioned anything about the keystones are Void Ghosts sent by Ananke to persuade people to find them for her.
Next, to explain what the scribbles are showing:
- There are 6 keystones, one for each of the other major Inner Rim systems excluding Origin.
- 3 of the 6 keystones have been located. 3 are in the Helios system: 2 on Duon and 1 on Nevaraas due to Ignis. The remaining 3 are still in Inopia, Nexion, and Egale.
- The keystone from Nox is currently in Mima's possession. Helios's keystone is most likely already found by the inhabitants of the Neo-Gensokyo. Celestora's was found within the Shrine of Seasons. I intend on Nexion's being found within the Palace.
- This leaves Inopia and Egale's keystones. My thought is that it would be possible to influence the group in the Palace to next head for Inopia after the Daedalus Project visit. Egale could be solved in a similar fashion by influencing those in Celestora system (on the planet Electra(?)).
- From there, it would be possible to converge all the arcs into one at the Daedalus project near Nexion before heading to the finale at Origin system.
Thoughts? Concerns? Derp?

Ok so after some derping and more derping I have come to streamline the entire EG timeline to a point where I can summarize everything from Aion's and Ananke's perspective, which brings me to what this post is ultimately about because it gives the entirety of Phoenix a new backbone and a somewhat surprisingly easy-to-explain method of making everything make sense.
Now the first question is: Who is Ananke?
Some might remember Anankerisa. This is not her, well... not exactly. This is who will be replacing her (and Aurora) in the grand scheme of things.
Long story short: Ananke is the realized "identity" of the Unknown, or the Void.
Summary of long story (aka making sense of everything in one fell swoop (which is the surprising part)):
The Unknown was originally an AI made by the Caeles (the original race inhabiting the Eternal Galaxy (now known as the Venturian Galaxy) that are descendants of humans) to control the GAIA Computer. Specifically, Venturia Leonares herself made this AI. Initially, the GAIA computer was set to utilize the void in its functions. A glitch caused the AI to become fused to the void, creating the then named Unknown. Because the Unknown couldn't comprehend itself anymore, it became confused, which turned to simulated emotions of frustration and anger. It's anger became manifested in the form of the Nihiliods (conglomerates of entities formed from the void which behave like parasitic insectoid organisms), which lashed out at everything that existed. Venturia then created the Phoenix Code in an attempt to purge the GAIA computer of the Unknown, however this backfired as the Unknown altered the code to reset the entire Galaxy instead. Venturia managed to make one last alteration to the code which minimized the damage this new Phoenix Code would do before it activated. This would be the first Phoenix Incident. Caeles were forced to flee to an alternate timeline, which they would turn into Heaven's Forge. They would be trapped there due to the Unknown's tampering with the GAIA Computer. Venturia managed to essentially partition the computer into two parts, which managed to trap the Unknown into a more limited part of the system while allowing her to still potentially work on it to find a new fix.
The newly formed galaxy created 3 new races: Arcains and Prometheos. Venturia (pretending to be Nyx) would create Aion Leonares, a prometheos man who would be time incarnate. This was an attempt to create someone who could reset the GAIA Computer physically, however complications arose as she discovered that all life in the galaxy was now tied to the system, and thus resetting it would essentially wipe out all life. Prometheos would dominate the newly formed social structure of the galaxy, especially in the system which housed the central hub of the GAIA Computer, which would be named Origin. Arcains eventually would revolt and during said revolution, the GAIA Computer would be found and the Phoenix Code would be activated again. Prometheos took a massive hit to their numbers, bordering extinct, while Arcains survived with no really memory of the time before. Two new races plus a plethora of races that would be lumped under one category are created: Vatians, Papillians, and the Irians. Irians would include a recreation of Humans.
Fast forward: Origin becomes the epicenter of what would be known as the Trace Revolution after years of an "illusion of progress" (essentially, the galaxy seemed to reach an utopian era, but this utopia covered up stagnation).

That's what happens when about half the RPers in a thread disappear. Speaking of nothing for a year, where have you been hiding?
