Captain:Terikalinra

"Ahhh, you where merely born in Shadow. I created Darkness. I molded it, shaped it, twisted it for my needs. You think it answers to you? Wrong, I AM Darkness, and I will destroy you!"

- The Dark One

Terikalinra, otherwise known as The Dark One, Vell Barad'un in Volver tongue, Nightbringer and other names, is a powerful, other dimensional being with a lust for power and godhood. Having migrated to this universe after causing the downfall and destruction of his own, Terikalinra has had little issue adapting to his new situation, utilizing his near limitless power and scientific knowledge, combined with his stregth and charisma, to manifest as a god among many primitive cultures. Among the criminal scum of the Shadow Hunters, he is a powerful employer few want to anger or annoy. Among the Imperium of War and Skallin, he is a god-like figure to follow and revere.

Terikalinra is certainly no god, but his immortal body, combined with his power and gravitas, has lead many to mistakenly believe it. It is an image he actively cultivates in himself and around others, and will not suffer to have this falsehood revealed. Usually, Terikalinra is cold, confident and alert to everything around him. His mind is in constant motion, moving and manipulating others like chess pieces in a game to reach true godhood and finally bring about the true start of his rule; to become a true guide and rule the universe in his image. While prideful, greedy and self-centered, Terikalinra hides such things from those he first meets, so as to project the idea that he is above such carnal pursuits and would not dare dirty himself with the weaknesses of mortals.

Terikalinra has appeared in the various religions of other races, including the, and other Brotherhood races, the  and multiple others. Be it a God of Darkness and hate, or a benevolent father-like deity, Terikalinra's touch can be felt in much of the Mirus Galaxy that serves as the central hub of his operations.

Early History
When the Maku'terash known as Terikalinra was created or formed is unknown, as is much of his early life. As part of the god-like empire of s and their allies, the Lekaalish, Terikalinra was made brother of the Lekaalish ruler, Zaraturai, and made one of her highest ranking leaders, second only to Another Darkling named Miterix. Despite all his glory, all his victories in stabilizing their universe from threats, the idea of being forced to play second fiddle angered Terikalinra to no end, and, as such, began to seek ways to subvert his sister's rule.

First dealing with Miterix and his loyalists, Terikalinra began mobilizing his forces for battle against the forces of the Lekaalish in secret, as their universe began to destabilize. Not knowing how or why, even as it was connected to his growing distance from his sibling, Terikalinra continued, believing the destabilization was his sister's fault, and she would be soon replaced by a stronger ruler.

Finally, he arrived, with all his loyalists, to meet his sister. The Lekaalish came forward, fighting a battle between the 2 god races, neither one able to kill the other. As Terikalinra and Zaraturai finally meet once more, the battle finally proved too much. The Universe, as it turned out, was connected to the unity of the Lekaalish and Maku'terash, the 2 keeping it in balance. With the Darklings losing power and position in their minds, they had unknowing created the instability. The Lightlings retreated, erecting light bearers around their holdings, so they could begin the process of leaving the universe, as Miterix and his loyalists escaped, arriving to help the Lekaalish plan their escape.

With the universe unable to withstand the force of their fight, it began to crumble, as the Lekaalish evacuated many inhabitants to the First Gigaquadrant, hoping to preserve lives, as the Darklings worked endlessly to break the barrier. Finally, with the last of the Togunda and Koatria escaped, the Darklings launched their final assault. Empowered by the death around them, the Maku'terash slaughtered the Lekaalish, with Zaraturai and her Darkling followers narrowly escaping.

Satisfied with his victory, Terikalirna turned his attention towards ruling his domain, he found nothing left to rule. His foes either where long gone, or dead, and his universe was dying. Summoning his Darkling among the Caste of the Architects of Fate, including Bloran and Zorax, Terikalirna ordered the technology left by the Lekaalish turned towards finding a way out of the dying universe. Finally, the Darklings, mostly thanks to Bloran's genius, escaped, ripping open a hole in dimensions for them to escape into, the devices and ships powered by Dark energy. They tore their way through time and space with all their energy, weakening them greatly, before heading through the dimension called Accel Space. Terikalinra found the universe interesting, but it had nothing to offer him, and so he left it. But, his forces left a deep, twisted impact upon Accel Space, their twisted nature sickening and corrupting Accel Space. By time they left, the once peaceful realm of Accel Space would be horribly altered hence forth.

Not all, however, where brought along. Some where left behind, most specifically, the followers of Darkling Abaddon the Blood Ghost. More fearsome then any before him, Abaddon quickly grew to be a powerful force, much stronger then even Miterix or Terikalinra. Fearful of him and his followers, Dark One had him and his cult left behind, while also leaving behind a number of other Darklings. This was no accident, however. Most had grown to question his rule and whether they should be lead by such a ruler.

Setting the seeds
After his arrival, Terikalinra had his forces lay low as he planned his next moves out. Seeing the Mirus galaxy relatively peaceful, and under the guidance of the, who he found his sister to be helping. Watching as they pushed back the Zarbanian Imperium, Terikalinra took an interest in the leader of their faction, known as. Watching as he was destroyed, and his forces reduced to a pre-industrial setting, Terikalinra was inspired by the zeal and hatred such a creature held within him, and decided to experiment to try and recreate such a beast. He began tinkering with the DNA of his Kraatos Worms, hoping to turn them towards a "noble purpose" that would suit his needs in the days to come.

Deciding his plan could not be carried out without the destruction of his most fearsome foe, Terikalinra waited until the Multus Esse died out before he implemented his plan. Trying to speed up the process, Terikalinra tried multiple ways of destroying the creatures, including sabotaging the Tezi'kar AI computers, trying to provoke their creations into rebelling, and finally, corrupting the Alpha Cyber Collective so they would run rampant.

With all his foes, for now, out of his way, Terikalinra waited, and finally turned his gaze back upon Zarbania, when they had begun to reach the levels of a Classical Society. Taking the appearance of a powerful warlord, Terikalinra seduced a women, and implanted his modified Kraatos worm within her, watching from a far, as the months went by, and she thinking it was just a normal pregnancy, until one night, his son had developed fully, and clawed his way out of his mother. Impressed and delighted with such a creature, he named it Ridanax, but nicknamed him Gridlock, and left him to be captured and turned into a pit-beast for gladiatorial combat.

His study of Ridanax/Gridlock's personality from afar revealed he had inherited many things from his father, but also from the species he had hosted. Terikalinra, questioning how such could be possible, repeated his experiments, going across countless planets, and implanting his children within various women, and taking them into his private laboratories, but revealed little to his fellow Darklings, wishing to keep these potential servants, his future spawn, a secret all to himself. After exhausting the races he wished to study, Terikalinra found that while his children all looked largely the same, small details revealed that these beasts all had various quirks and habits inherited from their "mothers". Terikalinra dispersed his sons, leaving them to whatever fate had planned. They would ultimately be the keys to his ascension onto godhood.

Years after, even after the Bombings of Zarbania and various other races that once belonged to the Imperium by the Ugandalorians, became a force to be feared, and it was during their unification and various wars with other races, that Terikalinra came forward once more to claim his son, and awaken his darkling powers, full, and, began sending Sentry to monitor his others sons, wishing to see how far each had developed, and was pleased to note that, of the thousands he created, only one weakling had died.

Also around this time, Terikalinra had discovered the ancient, a race native to the Milky Way galaxy. His interest was piqued by such a race, and investigated them further, finding their general sadism and strength quite attractive. However, he found them to be genetically programed as a "force of retribution". Knowing their destiny was tied to his potential defeat, or atleast would impair him, he almost wiped them out, before a Rebellion by Darkling Tibrix, his second in command, called his attentions back to Mirus.

The Perfect Servants
"But of course I can grant you war eternal. Serve me, my brotherhood, and you will fulfill your destiny, to conquer this galaxy!"

- Dark One to Imperator Caligustus

While Terikalinra finished the studies of his "sons" in secret, he became aware of a new empire, rising in Mirus. Tibrix had displayed a massive interest in them, and the Dark One, wishing to indulge his servant, began to observe the. Watching it as it reached the stars, was immediately enslaved by the Draekar, destroyed their empire in turn, and grew to a brief period of dominance before a new war with the Draekar and the Drakodominatus Tyranny erputed, Terikalinra saw the Imperium of War as a useful tool, but a limited one. The Imperium's goals goals where war above all else, which he personally detested, feeling such was beneath a true ruler and god. In fact, he fully intended to kill them off once they had sufficiently destabilized the galaxy for his inevitable victory and the new order he would bring, knowing they would be more of a liability than aid afterwards. Nevertheless, Terikalinra sought out the leader of the Imperium, Imperator Caligustus, and struck a bargain with the warlord, offering the Imperator service to the Brotherhood in exchange for helping him achieve "War-Eternal", and even gifting him with some Darkling energy. He tasked Tibrix to watch the Imperium and become it's Darkling Overlord, while he dealt with other matters.

He also realized his son, despite his ambition, charisma and war-like nature, was too carry and soft to rely on Zarbania as effective servants. He began searching for other races, ones that would fit his vision. He had grown angry at the protection and favor the s enjoyed under his sister, and wished desperately to have a race of his own. He sought out several, even ordered his servants to create new races. Some, like the Skrud and Fimiari, he despised as weak, but chose to keep them, so they would serve the purpose of meat shields for his armies.

Ultimately, his fellow Darklings found the, a race, much like the Mendel, but far more passionate, violent and unruly. Their emotions, so driven and wild compared to even the Mendel, would allow him to slowly weed his way into their minds. He showed favor to certain chieftains, as did his other Darklings, manipulating them and making the Skallin believe the Dark One and his kin where gods. Terikalinra took perverse joy in doing so, seeing the idea of corrupting a Multus-created race breed for war, and turning it on their "brothers" to be the ultimate revenge against his manipulative sister. While Zarbania and the Imperium of War where tools, the Skallin, and later, the Sarkurgatians and Hrunogathor, would be kept to enforce his will and act as his chief warriors and worshippers in battle, their ambition and drive allowing them achieve that which the Fimiari and other weaklings could not. He saw, perhaps, a small part of himself in these races, so driven by violence, ambition and greed to become gods. This potential had to be harnessed for his own "righteous" purpose.

Revenge
"I must avenege a fallen servant, daughter. If I let one insult pass, is to allow another to come."

- Dark One

Dark lost a Bounty Hunter named Bengo Flett to a powerful being named Lord Ne'yon. Dark arrivied on the battlefield during the Nebulorian-Alpha War, and fought Ne'yon, the 2 being equals to each other. However, Lord Ne'yon got the upper hand by destroying Dark's body with the Spear of Apocalypse. Dark, however escaped and seized Tox Cano's body, killing him in the process.

This caused Tox's minions to retreat, and gave the allies are better chance of victory. It's unknown what he did afterward, though it's believed he disappeared to gather more energy for his new body, in order to achieve his older, more powerful form.

Enlightenment War
"Being trapped in crystal can suck. But if my sister thinks she's won, then it's unfortunate that I can't roll my eyes inside this prison."

- Terikalinra

Terikalinra and his Brotherhood came into full action when they launched a massive attack with the Zarbanian Powers, attacking Ugandalore with the, who they had a temporary truce with.

He had a plan to push his main plan along faster, by capturing the Knight, using his Son, Gridlock, his servant Imperator Caligustus and his most trusted servant, Trodaka.

However, the Alpha Cyber Collective found out, and after almost killing Trodaka, he captured her body, and escaped, saving her life.

Later, inside his citadel he had erected from shadow on Ugandalore, he fought with the 6 Ultra Commandos, who, using their six elements after a lengthy battle, imprisoned him in a crystal seal, trapping him in it forever. His sister then transported it into outer space.

However, he had planned for this, and used his telepathy to call out to Trodaka and Auriela of the Changelings. With this, Trodaka found the seal he was trapped in, and cut off a shard of it. Placing the shard in her breastplate, she linked herself to the seal, allowing Dark to communicate through her to the outside world.

Return of THEM
"With my new power, comes new order."

Years later, as Dark's servants struggled to maintain their hold, Dark decided now was the time to begin the process of his freedom. Calling Trodaka, he told her of a coming menace that he could use to get his freedom.

Agreeing, as ordered, Trodaka sought out the armies unleashed by Ada, and established contact. After a short, but tense talk, they agreed to ally.

With the Darkling Brotherhood and Pieces used by Xizothano, the 2 seemed almost invincible. However, Dark had plans that Xizo had no idea about, and ordered his best Skordi warriors, through Trodaka, to get to Matrukoris, and steal the symbols of the elements of the Koatria.

The Skordi, succeed, with difficulty, as they delivered the elements to Trodaka, as ordered.

Later, an assault was launched on Matrukoris, as several enemies where captured, including the Vanara Six, the 6 Koatria who had imprisoned him, and 2 agents of his sister. With this, the elements where unleashed, and the seal around his form broken. With that, he was finally freed. Terikalinra taunted the 6, and even subverted Losun'ka, one his sisters' followers, into following his goals. With that, he went down personally to lead the assault on the city, as a new plot formed in his mind, one against his "ally", Xizothano.

Now freed, Xizothano infused him with Ada's own essence. Dark and his Brotherhood worked closely with Xizothano's forces, managing to do severe damage to the Alliance. After this, Xizothano was attacked by the Alliance fleets, and almost destroyed them, managing to damage Matrukoris. However, they managed to seal and lock his own essence within his body, weakening him, and giving the alliance time to counterattack, before he could unlock his powers again and counter attack.

Dark appeared however, and absorbed Xizothano, taking his powers, and throwing the Alliance out of his dimension. With his powers increased to greater levels, he could possibly, given time, become an actual threat to the demons and Ultraterrestrials who inhabit this universe.

Finally, seeing his son perform so well in the fighting, Terikalinra sent his most trusted agents to gather the rest for his eventual plan. The "Keys" to Ascension where soon to be gathered.

Gigaquadrantic Conflicts
"You can expect the Brotherhood not to do much in the way of helping you. However, my Criminal Empire will be working with some others for a new plan I've just developed, and I will be helping both and Caligustus personaly when I have time. Otherwise, I will mostly just advise you here. Good luck my son."

- Dark One to his son.

"Fellow Brotherhood members, our time has come! For years, we have planed, and now, it comes to fruition! Once the galaxy is ripped apart by war and blood, shadow shall take control! We are shadow! We are victorious!"

- In a speech to the Brotherhood

While most factions where gearing up for the Massive conflicts, Dark sought another aim, not war, but indirect power grabs in different galaxies, with other crime lords. Sending the Sons of Shadow to assist their elder brother, Dark told him that he would return once and while to help him, but his attentions would be deverted elsewhere for the moment.

Traits
"I dislike a Traitour, but I despise an incompetent one."

- Dark One

Personality
"You journey...must...end. Permanently and painfully."

- Terikalinra

Terikalinra is meticulous and a perfectionist, to the point of psychosis, and a very methodical warrior. He is fueled by a desire to destroy his sister and her followers and become ruler of the universe. He is patient, powerful, and has no near equal in combat or politics. He is a master crime lord, and an ingenious scientist, and enjoys flaunting his power and influence for his enemies to see, but is careful to hide much of what he plans, so that it will be carried out without issue.

Terikalinra hates everything that conflicts with his vision of order and power, and despises those who seek to undo everything he works for. However, his plans are vast, and where ever they end, it will only be the beginning of his reign of domination. Despite, even if he creates back-up plans, he would prefer no one bother them, and simply allow him to rule the universe as he sees fit.

Despite his domineering personality, Dark cares deeply for beings he considers his sons, including Gridlock, the Sons of Shadow, and the Rakar beasts he creates. Several beings, in fact, have gained his trust and actual care, despite the usual petty outlook he yields for most life forms. These beings include those that have the privilege of sharing his "genetics" (If such a term could apply to him), and being of equal intelligence to him, such as Trodaka, and who do not oppose his plans. Such individuals who gain his attention and "love", if such a term could apply to such a twisted individual, are afforded more power and influence then others, and given the right to know major facets of his master plan. Trodaka is among the few beings gifted with the vision and ambition he has, and is respected by him above all other servants.

He also shows respect towards enemies, and traitors, who have the guts to betray him, and do such intelligently, allowing them to, when the moment comes, to land a few blows on him, before he kills them personally in a very clean manner. He does however, show hatred and apathy for those who betray him and have no intelligence to go about it the "right" way, usually playing traps for them that lead to them dying in embarrassing and dehumanizing ways.

Terikalinra views himself as above making mistakes, and insists everything he does is for his ultimate plan, though this commonly leads to certain individuals out-smarting him (to a point) and slowing him down and even injuring him. Such beings, while worthy of respect, are still annoyances to him, and ones he actively seeks to hunt down for their trespass. He also cannot stand to be overshadowed by others, and, when he makes alliances with other powerful beings, actively seeks to bring about their end, often in a way that empowers him and lets everyone know what he has done.

Powers
"Let's face it, even when weakened, I can still kill you in 1000 ways. All of them hurt."

- Terikalinra to Barda Clett

Dark one has over 60 natural powers, including being an extremely powerful user of Dark Energy, or at least an Elemental version of it. His 60 powers allow him to alter the earth, sky, and minds of his foes in negative ways, and can easiely destroy armies.

Terikalinra has a variety of other powers, including a projectile weapon allowing him control of a victim's mind, atom-spliting eye beams, and his very presence can paralyze people in fear, or even kill them from pure terror. Other powers include reducing beings down to thoughts in his head and forgetting them, turning them into pure electricity, and taking control of their bodies, negating the need to take over their minds. How he got these powers is unknown, whether he made a deal with a demon or merely acquired them through mental training and some form of ascendance.

Other powers include turning others into Darklings or Darkling cultists, shapeshifting, and his Shadow Claw. Made from his elemental energies, the Shadow Claw allows him to grab many victims, pull them into his substance, and restructure their body parts with his as he sees fit. Any extra matter is sent to a dimension only he can access, for later use in increasing size, altering appearance, or growing wings. When a being is absorbed into his body, Terikalinra must destroy their will, or he runs the risk of his mind being taken over, with can get himself killed.

He, like all other Darklings, can summon Kraatos, worm-like creatures crafted from his very being. His Kraatos are stronger than that of other Darklings, and can control their powers to a far greater extent. He has transformed a group of his Kraatos into Rakar for the purpose of destroying the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment. He can also summon Shadow Leeches, Kraatos which were experimented upon, and which can drain a being's moral light, or store them in a orb-like pod embedded in his chest armor with he can fire at his enemies.

Appearance
"I am stronger then you, I am faster then you. Heck, I can become you!"

- Terikalinra

Dark's natural body is merely energy within his armor-like flesh. Like most Darklings, his armor is sculpted into a form resembling a large, pure black reptile. However, there are numerous differences. Terikalinra's Body/Armor (They are one in the same), has more defined, narrower eyes, thin, but filled with hatred, and brimming with energy when angered. Terikalinra's hands, instead of being massive claws, like his brethren, are sharp, skull-crushing Tentacles extending from the end of his arms. His feet end, not in an insectiod-reptilian-like foot, but in a purely reptilian foot, with massive toe claws he can use to cut open vehicles with a kick.

Terikalinra's wings are larger, and, like the rest of his body, more intimidating, compared to other Darklings. They are a series of Spiked claws, with a metal mesh connecting them.

Equipment
"Do not mistake it's looks. Your puny orbital bombardments could not breach it."

- Terikalinra

Dark's armor is really part of his body. It is a crimson red and pure black color, designed by himself to make himself look intimidating, and still protect his inner essence from leaking out. There are several spikes jotting out from the shoulders, and his wings are plated metal designed for intimidating enemies with his apparent increase in size.

The Blackened "flesh" that is not part of his armor, is really a metal mesh, that looks like skin, but wrinkled, black, and covered in scars. His wings have a similar look.

Weapons
 The Krashakan=

Sword of Shadows=

Staff of Darkness=

Twin Psionic Blasters=

Pets and Creations
Kivak= "Kivak. A Beautiful creature. Quite the sight, is he not?"

- Dark One on his pet

Kivak is the personal pet of Terikalinra, his messenger, and his spy. Having saved the bird from death, Terikalinra upgraded the creature's body with cybernetics, similar to the ones the Darklings used when they where still biomechanical life forms. Kivak became Dark's loyal servant, and Dark used his seemingly bestial nature to his advantage, using him to spy on fortifications and enemy strongholds, appearing to look like a dumb hawk.
 * Name - Kivak
 * Species - Massive Bird
 * Use - Messenger and spy for Terikalinra.

Kivak feeds by flying through the air, and snatching whatever fancies him from the ground, but mostly prefers animals when under cover.

Kivak is just as nasty and arrogant as his master. However, Kivak is also extremely mischievous, and will pull out all the stops to scare people by playing dead and the like. He'll often do this members of Shadow Hunters to make them believe they where involved in Dark's pet's death, which, of course, is enough to worry anyone.

Kivak speaks in a language few creatures know, except for Dark and select number of enforces.

"Thank Spode for that."

Quotes from himself
''Shadows are everywhere, little worms, and where they are... SO AM I!!''

''When the Stars no longer shine, and when the wild beasts hide in their caves, know that, I, the Darkness, am on the Hunt. And also know, that you can never hide from the shadows.''

''The funniest part of emotion manipulation, when you look at it, is that there's not changing of the emotion and personality of the victim. Look at any corrupting God, any lord of chaos, and they do not change anything about the victim. They just make his or her flaws more evident. They merely show what they hide in the shadows of their soul. But I do not need this. I can take one look, see every flaw, know every detail of your soul, and what you hide, what your ashamed of. I know you better then you know yourself.''

I have no Allies, For I have no equals

I am the shadow that teaches all other shadows to fear me.

Look to the Shadows, for a taste...of your fate!

''My plans go beyond simply conquest and enslavement. My ways are about corrupting and bringing people under my sway, And when their use runs out, I dispose of their useless carcass.''

In the end, you're all mine!

Perhpas for your final failure, a simple game of battle will sevice.

''My plans know no failure. It is impossible to defeat me, for even my defeats are planed ahead of time.''

Sleep spares one pain, awake, they suffer.
