“I worry ... I am afraid ... that one day I might lead my friends into danger — even cost them their lives — because I did not have the knowledge to protect them, or help them.”
- - Arkaalin's personal thoughts
Arkaalin is the leader of the Ultra Commandos. He is considered one of the Finest Ugandalorian Warriors in the Federation, besides Barda Clett and Ugandalore the Great.
History[]
Arkaalin began life as a normal Ugandalorian. He lived in an Out-rim Ugandal colony, near the Core. One day, the Meeno grox King, Lord Mortox, attacked the Colony, and brought the boy to his fortress to be experimented on.
Arkaalin was given interal cybernetic implants, and control over fire, as Ugandalorians have some elemental controll, and this was his. However, The leader of the Ugandalorians, Ugandalore the Great, with the help of a mysterious being, managed to inflitrat the palace and Fought Lord Mortox. While nither gained an advantage, Ugandalore did save Arkaalin, before he could become a Meeno Grox Super soldier.
Training[]
Arkaalin was taken in by Ugandalore and trained like any soldier. He found it hard to fit in, considering his Upgrades, and Red-ish skin, but found a close friend in the form of Galiet a soon-to-be fellow ultra Commando.
Finally, a Being, the same that saved him, took Arkaalin and many others, and trained them to use their elements to combat a growing Shadow. Under their combat teacher, Hydarax, Arkaalin and his team, once without much experience, grew into powerful and deadly warriors, capable of much poer thanks to their element and combat training. As he trained, Arkaalin began to push himself to new heights, earning his teachers's approval, but ultimately letting it go to his head.
After completing his training, Arkaalin and his team became among the first Ultra Commando teams that stood ready for service, with many more on the way. Despite his new power and position, Arkaalin continued to act rashly and somewhat arrogantly around his comrades, earning the ire of Tilaos, one of the more cool-headed Commandos.
Nebulorian-Alpha War[]
During the Nebulorian-Alpha War, the main 6 Ultra Commandos fought against the Dead Watch, Unitech Citadel, and the Nebulorians.
They lead the defence of the Homeworld of one of their allies, King Pulporius, and fought against the Dead Watch, intil an Army of the Meeno Grox Arrivied. Arkaalin and Corhufu where confronted first by the Rogue Holon-Meeno Marinox, Tutankarmon, then by Lord Mortox Himself. Arkaalin attempted to destroy the Grox King, but found his own powers over fire where turned against him.
This near defeat lead to the Waptoria Alliance's Life Guard, and Arkaalin gladly accepted their help.
During the Final battle, Arkaalin and the Allies fought against Lord Ne'yon and his allies to keep him from using the Galactic devastion ray.
Later, the Dark One arrivied, and Brought the battle to even terms. He and Ne'yon clashed, along with the Ultra Commandos, the Life Guard, and King Glynn of the Volver.
Finally, after Dark's pyschical body was destroyed, he possessed the Dead Watch leader, Tox Cano, and the dead Watch retreated. Arkaalin also witnessed Glynn sacrifice himself to destroy Ne'yon's Omega Dimension.
Second Infectant War[]
Arkaalin was part of the Infectant War, and was the one of only 3 that could be deployed, along with Pervartos and Galiet, in order to fight the Infectants. The war was tough, but was aided by the temporary death of Lorka Gredyc, a major commander of Meeno Grox Forces.
He was part of the final battle, and engaged Lorka Gredyc's clone alongside Averil Daksur, while his team went out to assist in the battle against the Infectants.
He was there when Barda Clett, former Supreme Field Marshal was crowned Ugandalore the Untouchable.
Enlightenment War[]
Arkaalin was part of the Enlightenment War, fighting against Alpha Cyber Collective mining and planet raiding forces, before being called to Ugandalore to defend it against a combined Zarbanian-Grox-Brotherhood force. They fought against multiple grox forces before being called in to stop the Brotherhood's leader, Dark One.
He and his team fought against the Dark Lord and his minions, before entrapping him in crystal with their elemental powers, and causing the Zarbanian and brotherhood forces to retreat.
They where then tasked with making contact with the recently reawakened Multus Esse, who where reawakened by the Alpha Grox's servant's mistake. While at first hostile due to engaging Dead Watch forces, the Ugandalorian's team convinced them that the Watchers where merely rebels, and btoh groups joined together to stop them.
They managed to push into the core, and attacked the Kashriinox's base of operations. The main team managed to get to it's core and repurpose it, weakening the Grox severely.
Return of THEM[]
Arkaalin was later part of Xizothano's plan to return to conquer this dimension, as well as deal with the Brotherhood's plans to revigerate their master and free him.
Arkaalin and his team where captured, alongside the Vanara Six, by Brotherhood forces, and striped of their elements. They could do nothing as Dark One's lover, Trodaka, used the elements to un-do the seal, and free him. However, they managed to escape Brotherhood clutches when Darkling Krianus took over the mind of a Rakar and used it to break both teams, and another servant of Zaraturai, Axin'tros', cell open.
Both managed to escape, and made their way out. They assisted ground forces at Matrukoris for the rest of the battle, before it was critically damaged.
Xonexi Conflicts[]
During the Mirusian Conflicts, merely a theater to an entire gigaqudrant tearing itself apart, Arkaalin and his team where called in to capture members of the Vanara Six, their allies, after the [[Fiction:Vanara Singularity|Vanara seemingly launched an attack on a UAE outpost in an act of rebellion and war. After capturing Akanri and Seerkar, both of which where one Matrukoris, Arkaalin helped escort them to the Alliance capital in the center of the city. While doubtful of whether or not his allies where guilty of being rebels, Arkaalin carried out his orders without a hitch.
Afterwards, while the 2 where being questioned, he and Tilaos patrolled outside in order to make sure no angry citizen assaulted the place to attack the Vanara. After finding a young Vanara child, Arkaalin attempted to get her to come inside, to which she violently resisted. After dragging her inside, Akanri revealed she was their daughter, and ordered Arkaalin to un-hand her. Surprised, Arkaalin did so, though this cemented itself in his mind they could not be linked to the rebels, if they had their family located here.
After the 2 Vanara where nearly killed by Volver rebels, the Blood Knights, Seerkar went into his Ryu form, and attacked the city. With Akanri ready to unleash her own form, Niyra lashed out at UAE leaders and her parents with a small, Elemental radiation attack. While not there, Arkaalin did sense the presence of Elemental energy spike.
Much later, Arkaalin and his team would be sent to an Ultra Commando training academy, to guard it from harm, and relax a bit after working so hard. Little did he know, Niyra herself was also there, and Arkaalin would be surprised by how much she had grown.
Traits[]
Personality[]
Arkaalin, when he began as an Ultra Commando, was almost impossibly arrogant and short-tempered, and had a tendency towards hit-first-ask-later, and commonly got on the rest of his team's nerves. As years went by and he gained field experience, Arkaalin slowly morphed into more of a leader and trying to lead his team by example and patience. Still having trouble restraining his arrogance, Arkaalin never the less blames himself for every failure suffered by his team, and worries over each and every one.
He cares deeply for his fellow commandos, even if he tries not to show it, trying to appear the tough guy role.
Equipment[]
Arkaalin carries a Plasma Pulser for mid-range combat, and a missle Launcher. He also carries a Saber given to him by The Being that can channel his powers. He also uses a jet pack, like many Ugandals. While a decent shot with any weapon, Arkaalin prefers to use his Jet pack to get in close and fight his enemies with his sword.
Abilities[]
Arkaalin can control fire, heat, combustion, and lava. He is immune to heat-based attacks, and also can absorb some heat to replinsh himself.Arkaalin is more durable then most Ugandalorians, and faster on his feet. Like all of his kind, he can gain more power from other essence users by taking their head, gaining all their power, strength, and knowledge.
