Fiction:Aeba Shuka

The Blood Brotherhood is a faction led by the former Proditkar assassin known as Glacier. The group split from the Proditkar during the events of the Great Mirusian Conflicts due to internal schisms and personal rivalries. Now possibly more powerful than their predecessors, and putting aside many of their old aggressions with the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment and others, they seek to destroy not only the Proditkar, but every other group that stands in their way.

Great Mirusian Conflicts
The Blood Brotherhood's formation began during the second year of the Conflicts. Though Glacier, his mate Shiver, and many of their friends and allies were loyal members of the Proditkar, many had begun to doubt them due to some of their actions. They awakened a being called Scavenger and allied a Vanara called Anthrax. Iyoka Quista, the Volver rebel leader, enlisted Anthrax's aid in creating Volver-Vanara hybrids, as well as other projects that made many of his men doubt him. More importantly, they used a Marker to create their own Bio-Morphling servants on a planet known as Alpha Rosetta. This angered many members of the Proditkar, who saw them as vile and heretical. Eventually, a few tactical errors led to the loss of the Alpha Rosetta system and Glacier's near-execution by Pridar'Valicar. This set the seeds of Glacier's resentment.

The final straw would come when Iyoka would attempt to summon his own Darkling, Abbadon. Declaring those who supported to be traitors to the Proditkar's cause, Pridar had them expelled right into UAE space on the charge of high treason. Little did he know that Iyoka had actually succeed in summoning Abbadon, who whisked the group of rogues to safety within a moment...

After the rogues had established themselves under the title of the Blood Brotherhood, they began making allies to bolster their strength. Combining groups like the Scythe of Glory, Spider-Hordes of Monolith, Corsairs of Corruption, and Hive of Mirus, the Blood Brotherhood has become extremely powerful in a very short amount of time. To the rest of the galaxies, their objectives, long-term goals, and even existence is mostly unknown.

Species
 Darkling = "The darkness will consume you all...then we shall reign supreme..."

An extremely powerful race of gaseous/energy-based beings. They hail from a different dimension, which was destroyed during a war between their leaders. What almost nobody knew, however, was that the dimension has actually survived, being kept from collapse by a Darkling known as Abbadon. Summoned into this universe by the Volver Iyoka Quista, they are the main rac in the Blood Brotherhood. They are usually scientists or elite commanders. Raptoranean = "Hedonism? Nah... Superiority? Yep."

Raptoraneans are a race of avian mammal-like creatures created by a man called W'tze. A number of them went into service of a faction known as the Unitech Citadel of Sentients, with W'tze clone Solid being a high-ranking member. Despite Solid's good intentions, the group became evil, hedonistic, and corrupt. Many who agreed with Solid's morals and views chose to follow Glacier and Solid into the Blood Brothers' formation. They have since thrown off much of their former hedonism and now use most of their scientific knowledge to achieve advancement rather than sensations. They are the second-most-common race in the Brotherhood. Volver = "We have perfect adaptions, yet we are diplomats! This is not the true path!"

Volver hail from the planet Ascon, and are creatures adapted to almost every situation and environment. Long a race of warriors and conquerors, their main empire has become, in their eyes, a weak, lethargic empire that hides behind alliances. Many Volver rebel groups have popped up in an attempt to take the throne, though most want mandatory worship of the Volver's evil creator Xizothano Ada. The Volver of the Brotherhood, formed from a faction called Blood Knights, wished to both restore the Volver's warrior traditions and eradicate all who worship Ada. They are led by Iyoka Quista. Changeling = "That happiness is oh so delicious!"

Changelings are a species created by a Darkling called Spidrax. They feed on emotions, and can shapeshift. Depsite being created by a Darkling, not all are loyal to the Dark One. Many are either allied with the Grox's Cult of Attzerry or are freelancers. The Changelings of the Blood Brothers come from a group called the Corsairs of Corruption, a horde of mercenaries led by a Changeling called Lime. Hired by Glacier, Lime has since led his Corsairs into becoming permanent members, in part for protection against the Mutran Spiders and Cult of Attzerry. Gigapedus "We shall have the perfect genes!"

Gigapedus are a rebel subspecies of Centapedus, who are on a never-ending quest to acquire the perfect genetics. They will eradicate any species that they don't see as "superior", making them perfect candidates for joining the Brotherhood. former allies of Iyoka Quista, they followed him into the formation of the Brotherhood. They are used as heavy shock troopers due to their bullet and explosive-proof shells. Vadyadhara "DEATH TO THE FALSE CHILDREN OF AVA!"

Vadyadhara are creatures created by the same STD virus as the Vanara and Sucroids. Developing on a jungle planet as a test of the virus by Ava, she deemed them a success and destroyed them. She did not succeed in killing them all, however, and they advanced quickly, developing a small empire that used biotech similar to the Waptoria Alliance and Vanara Empire. They are led by an Emperor, but have since been ruled by a rebel Vanara called Anthrax who allied them to strike back against the Vanara Empire. The Vadyadhara are hell-bent on killing every single one of Ava's children, Sucroids and Vanara, who aren't allied with them. Scelus "The conversion of inferior races will provide the vanguard for our next assault."

An extragalactic race of creatures that convert others into a primordial soup, the Scelus are sworn enemies of the Vanara. After their Queen's death, Scavenger persuaded Astro Prime to join it. Later, Unitech and the Meeno Grox battled over Pyro Prime, ending with Solid taking control of him. With the formation of the Blood Brotherhood, Astro and Pyro have brought their legions forth to serve the cause of superiority, a cause they view as better than their former queen's. Dragowar "We serve the true Dark Lord!"

While no Dragowar would have ever helped the Proditkar Movement, some have joined the Blood Brotherhood on invitation of Iyoka Quista. Artificially evolved from the Vechtbeast, they serve due to Abbadon: they see him as the true dark lord and bringer of war eternal rather than the Dark One Terikalinra. A rage-filled species with berserker tendencies, the Dragowar are used to rip apart enemy fortifications, armored vehicles, and anything else that stands in the way of the servants of war eternal. Spider of Monlith "SKREEE! We will sting and bite and slice!"

Glacier and his lieutenant Morg allied with a group of creatures called the Spider-Horde of Monolith. Upon their king and queen's deaths, the rest of the spiders have rallied behind Morg as their new leader. reproducing at amazing rates, the Spiders of Monolith are the most populous race of the Blood Brotherhood. Evolving on a hot, humid planet covered in forests and swamps, they grew to enormous size. Gaining sentience, the Spiders formed a civilization. However, they found that the oxygen levels of their world were slowly dropping due to loss of plant life. Dying off from lack of oxygen, the Spiders turned themselves into cyborgs with their own oxygen suppliers and recyclers. They are the primary swarm units of the Brotherhood armies. Bio-Morphling "Nobody is safe...from us...Not even...the dead..."

Failed Multusse Esse bioweapons, these vile creatures infect dead tissue and reanimate it. While originally serving the Cyber Collective, Glacier reactivated a Marker that created these creatures and made his own army. This was considered heresy by many in the Proditkar, contributing to the Brotherhood Schism. They are led by Shiver, who is their "herder" of sorts. She commands them through queens, which are huge creatures created from multiple corpses. Despite the heavy hatred towards them from the Proditkar, they are thought nothing of in the Brotherhood, and are used regularly. Shadow-Morphling "We...are...in layman's terms...ghosts and zombies combined...WE ARE SUPERIOR! UNBEATABLE!"

When Glacier and Abbadon formed the Blood Brotherhood, Glacier's Marker was taken by Abbadon to be secured in case of an accident. During tests and experiments done on it, Abbadon created Shadow-Morphlings, Bio-Morphlings combined with Darkling energy. Ghostly creatures with the power to both reanimate and possess the dead, they are Abbadon's personal warriors, guards, and servants. They are quite feared by all enemies of the Brotherhood. A being infected by a Bio-Morphling will lose their body, but a being infected by a Shadow-Morphling will lose their body and their mind...
