---The Brotherhood Mantra.

The Brotherhood of Darklings are a rogue group of warriors that betrayed Zaraturai under the orders of her sociopathic brother, Dark One. Arriving in this universe, but stripped of their former God-like abilities, and now in mortal form, the Darklings resolved to work in the shadows through various servants, including the Imperium of War, The Zarbania Powers, and countless other pawns.

Ultimately, these beings are pure energy in armor, or more precisely, gas in armor. But, their ultimate goal is to attain Godhood among beings they consider lower, and make this universe bow before them. All Darklings, in general, are armed with a massive ego and ambition that knws few equals, held together only by the will and charisma of their Lordship, who binds them to his will to dominate and control the universe.

Individual Darkling Lords maintain control of their own legions and cults, and commonly only come together when their ruler, Sovereign Night-Lord, calls them forth. Often, due to differing personalities, the servants of Darklings will often fight each other over their "gods" whims, or form alliances to further accumulate more power. Darklings, despite their lust for power, are banned from killing one another unless one makes a direct move against Terikalinra, and this keeps all of them on some sort of control.

History[]

Creation[]

The Brotherhood of Darklings began as a legion under the command of twin sibling-Gods, Zaraturai and Terikalinera. Their role was to protect the 2, against darker forces, while Zarautrai's order of knights was meant to attack invaders, while the Brotherhood took care of internal enemies. However, Zarautrai's servants, where always honored more as the face of Zaraturai's protection, while the Brotherhood was caste aside, and shunned. Zaraturai's Lightlings were seen as protectors and defenders, loyal and courageous to all, and almost incapable of committing any wrong. The Darklings engaged in more brutal forms of warfare, given their nature and the nature of their work, and as such, began to accumulate a much more negative air about themselves. Terikalinra, not destined to be leader of the Brotherhood due to fears of him becoming too power mad, grew increasingly angry at his warriors not receiving their proper respect.

As such, he began to plot against his sister, a seed of utter hatred planted within his mind, and nurtured by his own ambition and petty jealousy. His plans to control the Brotherhood began with him seeking out those ambitious and insane as he, cultivating within them loyalty to his cause, and hatred for the Order established by Zaraturai off of their hard work. As such, this worked well to isolate Miterix and his supporters, and keep them from exercising any control over the Darklings. Once completed, Terikalinra ordered Miterix and his supporters to "vanish", their disappearance explained away as a clash with Demonic/Ultraterrastrial invaders, though in reality, the Darklings who oversaw his disappearance, allowed him to escape into the Prime Universe, with his supporters, where they vanished until the time was right.

With Miterix gone, there was no choice but to make Terikalinra leader. With this done, he began to prepare his forces for conflict with Zaraturai's own forces, marshalling all of the strength and power they could muster, meticulously leading every event and part into play for his grand battle with his sister. The clash between light and shadow utterly devastated their universe, entire worlds burned and shattered into nothing, as the few inhabitants made their escape, including the ancient Togunda. Zaraturai would lay the seeds in place to resist her brother, believing all the Lightlings dead because of his actions, and wanting to protect his new Universe.

Consolidating plans[]

Terikalinra and his Brotherhood on a new planet, Daxinia, established a secrete military base to grow their empire. Reduced to mortal, organic frames limited their power, and caused many to fear that they would eventually die. To avoid such a fate, the Darklings' servants constructed vast cryogenic storage Catacombs below their Fortress Worlds, their bodies frozen away for many years, as Terikalinra remained conscious, developing his mental abilities to such levels, that no other Darkling came close. The Darklings, over the years, evolved their bodies and minds past the need for actual physical organs, and went to a group of Togunda, referred to as "Ghosts", to modify and adapt their shells to hold their energy-like forms now.

After thousands of years, Terikalinra, began gathering allies in the form of the Shadow Hunters. These criminals and pirates, under the command of an ancient being calling himself "Shadow Hand", proved deadly and dangerous, and Terikalinra sought their help and assistance in stabilizing and gaining technology to use against his future foes. Further, Shadow Hunter agents worked behind the scenes to destabilize and weaken governments and worlds, leaving them open to Darkling Protection. Despite, the two avoided each other, knowing that, sooner or later, the two clandestine organizations would come to blows.

As time went on, the Darklings saw the rise of new powers in the galaxy. They influenced those not touched or protected by Zaraturai and her agents, cultivating in them greed, aggression and bloodlust to use against their enemies, giving them technology they did not deserve or should have, in exchange for worship and respect they did not earn. Terikalinra appeared to the Dragowar leader, Caligustus, and promised him Endless War in exchange for his service in his armies, granting him further powers of Darkness. To bring Zarbania under his command, Terikalinra seeded a creature known as Gridlock among them, and seeded many of Gridlock's brothers across the stars for future use. The Skallin, meanwhile, became his favored servants, occupying a position similar to Zaraturai's Mendel, and grooming them for similar roles in his army.

Expansion[]

Later, years of preparation had lead to Enlightenment War, where his main servants launched a massive campaign, with the Brotherhood leading them. The Brotherhood, while it's leader was imprisoned by the Ultra Commandos, the Ugandalorians whose essence and elemental power had finally come to a fore, still gained many new assets and servants.

Later, during the Return of THEM, Terikalinra would be reawakened, and establish an alliance with Xizothano Ada, one of his apparent siblings, to conquer the Alliance. While the 2 caused much damage to the Alliance, including damaging their capital, Matrukoris, Xizothano was almost defeated within his void realm. However, Terikalinra would appear, and, before the alliance could kill him, absorbed him and his powers, and cast the alliance out of the Abyssal Realm.

Terikalinra's absorbtion of Xizothano would lead to the creation of the Infused, enemies or failed servants of the Brotherhood who would be sucked into the Abyssal Realm, hollowed out with Void Energy, and completely filled up with Dark Energy, returning on the side of the Brotherhood, with new, dark powers. These beings would be used to deep-strike Brotherhood Assaults into the territory they came from, and to keep the other Darklings in check, as only Terikalinra had the power to create them.

Later, during the Great Dominatus War, the Darklings moved in to devour many a Dominatus, further gaining their powers and eliminating a potential rival to the Great Plan. They gloried in the suffering of a race as wicked as they, feeling that, if they had wished to stay alive, they should've won, and not let the weakling usurpers catch up with them. Terikalinra gave them some respect, and the Darklings as a whole viewed the Dominatus as "Worthy", a title given to few beings that were not Darklings.

These two events led to the Darklings receiving a huge boost in power, as their power was almost an extension of Terikalinra's own. This however, also lead to the rebel Darklings and Miterix, their leader, also receiving this power boost. Moreover, the Order of Zaraturai and their Darklings began a secret war with the Brotherhood, as it's powers where significant enough to cause them to besiege the alliance. Zaraturai, with the help of the Alliance's Multus Esse, entered a special device to increase her telepathic power to keep Terikalinra and the Brotherhood at bay with her telepathic power.

However, as The Brotherhood laid siege, they encountered a particularly annoying problem. Olympians. Almost none of the Olympians could be corrupted, and those that did where small in number. Instead of trying to corrupt the legions, the Darklings dedicated themselves to capturing a few. Tasking their best Koatria, the Dark Ultra Commandos managed to capture many of the Olympians during hectic fire fights, and return them to the terrible labs used by such beings Bloran and Zorax.

It is unknown what happened to these poor Olympians, but after the Gene-seed was extracted from their bodies, the Darklings began working on their own mutated seed, to create their own corrupted Olympians. Working under each Darkling Warband, the Darklings would have their own Dark Olympian Legions to work alongside their cultists. What these new Olympians lacked in discipline, they made up for in dark technology and powerful blood-lust.

Traits[]

Culture[]

The Brotherhood of Darklings is a military junta and cult lead by the Darklings, figures that number only a few hundred, yet remain in control of thousands, if not billions of figures dedicated to them. They cultivate the image of Godhood and the like among the non-Darkling species, either genetically engineering them, or uplifting those chosen by them for their aggression and powers. Under the Darklings are a number of Adepts who act as secret infiltrators and Hands to their masters, while also on the field, Champions and Lords who have gained significant favor and attention from the Darklings. Under them are the countless Warriors and Marauders who seek their own chance at being Champions and such, while the bulk is made up of Cultists and such who seek to spread the Darklings' will seek to gain further attention, even if Darklings and the like treat them merely as canon fodder.

In the end, Darklings give their servants freedom to do as they please and worship as they like, the homeworld of Dastren and other colonies becoming havens of debauched orgies, fetid plague swamps, gladiator arenas and other sites and thrills that one can enjoy. So long as one minds their position and respects their betters, they can enjoy a long life. Until they are sacrificed or backstabbed that is. So long as they survive and do not end up dead themselves, Darklings care little, allowing their worshippers and such the chance to form their societies as they like.

Species[]

The Darklings follow a strict hierarchy, with themselves on top, and the Skallin, Sarkrugatians and Hrunthogar below them, commanding the entire Brotherhood army in the Darklings' names. These three warrior races have near complete command of all other races, and the strict hierarchy, means that every race has someone above them, ultimately linking them all to the Gods themselves. Everything, from Dark Olympians, to Shadow Cultists, make up their ranks, and, while these forces may fight one another, when the Darklings call for them, they will all march under the banner of the Warmaster of Shadow that has had the strength to get on top and earn the Gods' favor. Everything, from Olympians, to Skallin and Rakar, are now his to command.

Individuals[]

Sons of the Dark One[]

  • Main link

Among the most ambitious, as well as twisted projects undertaken by the Dark One, Terikalirna was inspired to create these draconic, sadistic creatures from observing a Zarban Drac named Gridlock in ancient times. Thinking of the similarities between himself and the creature, the Dark One began experimenting with producing a similar creature to act as his offspring, as well as his most powerful servants. However, the creation of such beasts required the implantation of modified Kraatos worms into the bodies of different races, acting as parasites that acted as a "pregnancy", before the Son develops enough to claw his or her way out of the womb. The creature will be driven by extreme hunger, devouring any flesh regardless of who it is, before going silent to mulch it's body. A Son of Shadow will do this repeatedly as it consumes it's foes, growing larger, stronger and smarter as it does so, and, sooner or later, developing sentience from it's meals.

The Sons of Darkness bear a superficial resemblance to a Darkling. They have the same skeletal, thinly muscled appearance, but are more organic and less metallic in appearance. Their bodies are carried by large, demonic wings, and they also carry a long, snaking tail that ends in a terrible spike which can slice through armor and flesh. They are biologically immortal, and can appear to be 15, like Ozarius, or in their early 30's, like Ridanax, though their ultimate age and strength will be effected by the amount of flesh they eat, most slowing down when they reach sentience due to the stigma surrounding cannibalism. Ozarius, for example, stopped his consumption of flesh earlier, and as such, appears younger then his brothers.

It is currently unknown how many of these foul beasts where created by Terikalinra during his experiments, though, even thousands of years later, they still exist, sometimes merely as legends, sometimes even as god-rulers of their own worlds. Their existence was hidden from the other Darklings, least they try and build armies of their own to oppose his. As such, most of these creatures are loathed by the other Darklings as half-breed and abominations due to their birth and creation. However, due to their connection to Terikalinra, they dare not try and kill them.

Sons and Daughters of the Dark One are naturally drawn to one another, and their father's greatest servants. This was seen when Trodaka used her own power and that of Ridanax to bring three of his sons; Fokairi, Dortello and Ryshel, together, and began planning to draw the rest to her location, to somehow assist in her plan to come. Trodaka, in her drive to help Terikalinra achieve Transcendance, began drawing his other children to her, preparing to use their power to assist her.

Ridanax is the first of the Sons created, and the one that guaranteed the existence of all the others. His early life was one as a slave, spent toiling in the gladiator pits, and forced to fight and devour others to survive. Through determination, study of his foes, and coordination with his fellow slaves, Ridanax organized a revolt that saw the Kingdom that ruled them toppled, before the other nations tried to conquer them, not wishing to see a slave rule, especially one as revolting as Ridanax. Still, his skill with military strategy, and the loyalty of his troops allowed him to unite the nations of Zarbania, and his ability to gather the needed technology, allowed his people to begin their march to space.

His empire's advancement into space, as well as their old connections to the Zarbanian Imperium, which almost destroyed the Multus Esse, caused the Ugandalorians to look upon them with distrust, before relations broke down and the Ugandalorians bombed the Zarbanians and their worlds. Since that day, the two sides had been at near constant war, fighting over several territories, before it had turned into a slight cold war, each side happy to fight meer brush fire conflicts, but mostly stay out of one another's way if it could be helped.

Ridanax, after many years, would succeed in making peace with his old enemies, and attempted to bring the galaxy together again. Despite all of this seemingly running counter to what his father would want, everything proceeds as planned, giving Ridanax much to worry about, despite his attempts to do things on his own.

Ridanax is regarded as a near perfect copy of his father. He is ruthless, strong and powerful, and charismatic all at once. A powerful ruler who leads with respect and admiration from his subjects, Ridanax suffers from the past abuse he suffered as a slave to this day, as well as the struggles of leading such an empire for so long, and with so many wars that had to be fought, the losses of each weighing down on him. Although he appears cold, Ridanax within is regarded as storm of emotion, not sure at times of what to feel, due to his long memories and past.

  • Notes - Each Son shares traits with their father. Ridanax inherited his leadership skills and command abilities.

  • Name - Kaidanax
  • Gender - Male
  • Affiliation - Brotherhood

Kaidanax is the twin brother of Ridanax, and considered the more ruthless. Kaidanax, unlike his brother, lived life as a King on his world, taking advantage of the highly dramatic appearance of his father on the world to spread the rumor he was a god sent to unite them, of course after he consumed the village that he was "born" into, before covering his "mother" in liquid metal, turning her remains into a statue in remembrance of her. Kaidanax would use his position, and his father's appearance, to make himself a demigod on his world, though tried to make himself a benevolent ruler, so as to keep his people happy. He quickly found, however, many did not wish to be ruled, and rebelled frequently. His attempts at being merciful where ignored or lead to more rebellion, leading to him disregarding his benevolence for more heavy-handed measures.

Regarding his use of peace and respect as weak, he began scaring his flesh and body whenever he showed such emotions, as negative reinforcement. As he scared his body, he became more and more sociopathic, and violent, his people learning to live in fear rather then risk rebelling against their ruler again. His rule, however, was interrupted, by the arrival of Ridanax. Although identical to himself, Kaidanax thought him a threat to his rule, and sought to kill his brother. While stronger and more powerful in the use of Dark energy, Ridanax commanded greater self-control, and bested him, before bringing him to their father.

Kaidanax has long shed any positive emotions, instead being a hate-filled, warmongering conqueror, with little regard for others' lives, even his own. His way of combat is less controlled then his brother's, as he will let loose and tear into his foe with no holding back, and use everything to overwhelm and destroy them. The only being he shows any respect to is Terikalinra, mostly because he is more powerful and deadly, and, despite still hating him, Kaidanax can do nothing against his father.

  • Notes - Kaidanax inherited his father's ruthless sociopathy and penchant for brutality.

  • Name - Dortello
  • Gender - Male
  • Affiliation - Brotherhood

Dortello is the third oldest by age, but oldest biologically of Terikalinra's sons, and the strongest physically. Dortello was born on a distant Mendel colony, and came under the care of a Clan soon after his birth, becoming one of it's members. The Clan fell into bad times, and Dortello, despite his uncanny resemblance to Ridanax, the current Ruler of Zarbania and enemy of the Mendel, sought work for his family. After searching for work, however, he was arrested and prosecuted for the murder of two women and the theft of their family valuables and materials. Stubbornly denying he was guilty, Dortello was sent to a penal colony deep in the icy world of Jika, though, even after the real murderer confessed, Dortello was still not allowed home, and his own Clan disowned him. Dortello became angry, demanded to be released and let home, but still was denied, left to live in the dregs of society by his clan. Deciding that if he could not live legitimately, he would do so by darker means.

Dortello became a petty thief and, later, murderer, killing the man who landed him in his position, and stealing his possessions, and making his living do so, traveling form world to world, killing various people, and stealing their positions to sell and use for himself, hiding their bodies by consuming the flesh. Dortello, however, would find his purpose, when called to a world he had never seen before, by a mysterious voice that would not leave his mind. There, he meet Trodaka, and two other beings like him, as one of them explained that he and the other, Ryshel, where sons of a great being of power, and had much to learn. With that, Dortello excepted the offer to join the Brotherhood.

Dortello is a rather cynical and arrogant, sharing his father's strong sense of self-centeredness. He has grown to believe he is the only being worth helping, and does not like being forced to work with those he sees below him. He is rather sadistic to his foes, using his innate abilities to tape into their minds and find weaknesses from memories and the like to use against them. He does, however, show some care for his half-brothers, though does not respect Ridanax, seeing him as too soft, and views only himself as a worthy heir to Terikalinra. Of all his brothers, he has the softest spot for Ryshel.

  • Notes - Dortello inherited his father's self centered nature, and drive to master the world.

  • Name - Leroholt
  • Gender - Female
  • Affiliation - Brotherhood

Leroholt is another of Terikalinra's offspring, and the only female. Unlike the others, her task was specialized, and her destiny chosen from birth. She would be the one to eliminate the Clett bloodline. Taken by Trodaka, the Kortixx Queen became something of a mother figure, training Leroholt day after day for years to become the perfect killing machine, teaching her how to overwhelm and defeat Takanius, Kirta, or any of the other descendants of Cadus Clett, Terikalinra's oldest foe. She herself lived among the Brotherhood for years, guarded constantly by a compliment of Champions made up of the Skallin, Sarkurgatian and Hrunothar, and learned many habits from them, behaving in an honorable fashion, even if she could be brutal in battle, while taking after Trodaka in terms of planning, tactics and foresight in battle, and how to use the weaknesses in personality and ideals to also attack the Clett Bloodline. She formed an especially close relationship with a Sarkurgatian Champion, named Krovar, who taught her the concepts of honor, respect and pride, before, as a test, she had to face Krovar in battle and slay him. Although he knew from the start she would need to kill him, Krovar regretted nothing, taking his memories of her to the beyond.

Leroholt has only recently become public knowledge to her Brothers, and even then, keeps mostly a respectful air towards them, not attacking or insulting unless provoked. She secretly looks up to Ridanax, for being the most stable of them, and leading a proper nation that does not suffer from blood cults and the like, but worries his rebellious nature will get him killed by Terikalinra, or his more ruthless sons. She hates Kaidanax the most, for his ruthless nature, and inability to emotionally connect with others. Ultimately, she respects Ozarius as well, though not to the extent of Ridanax, and is neutral towards her other siblings.

Leroholt appears mostly neutral to everything around her, cold and rather passive towards everyone who approaches her. Indeed, many say she is, like Kaidanax, incapable of emotion. However, Leroholt merely hides it all, having learned from Trodaka to hide everything from others, so no one can find weakness. She cares for many of her siblings, but years of training, and learning that any who show weakness must be left behind, has taught her to show apathy towards them for their own safety, and her own. Despite, she still holds to her "Family" closely, and holds onto the memories she has of Krovar above all others, holdings his ideals of honor highly. She absolutely hates the Clett Bloodline, and has worked tirelessly to wipe all traces of them out.

  • Notes - Leroholt inherited her Father's discipline and warrior skill, though hers are more focused then his, as well as his loyalty to those in his "family".

  • Name - Ryshel
  • Gender - Male
  • Affiliation - Brotherhood

Ryshel is another of Terikalinra's children, and created shortly after many of the others. His role on a distant planet was decided when he was found by a younger royal named Kalvik, the son of the King in fact. While his servants Ryshel as a wild beast needing to be killed, Kalvik instead took him in and had him raised as a brother. However, Ryshel suffered increasingly bad luck, not helped by the Royal Family's abuse of him, despite Kalvik's respect and admiration for his adopted brother. Ryshel's success was hampered by mysterious phenomenon that occurred around him, and caused him to be labeled a demon and a mistake of nature. He developed an extremely negative view of the world and became a nervous wreck at times, prone to panic attacks and other issues.

When his powers caused the death of his brother and several other members of the royal courts, it was the tipping point that caused Ryshel to go into exile, and flew into other kingdoms, but always remaining alone so that no one else would be harmed by his power. Many attempted to use him, though he left these beings behind, knowing what they had planned for him.

Ryshel, however, was called to a mysterious world one day, and came to a cave that had a being like him, and Trodaka, and, after the arrival of his brother, Dortello, they revealed he was descended from a great god, and had great powers of shadow. Trodaka, awakening them in full, finally allowed Ryshel to finally control his powers, and after training with Ridanax, his older brother, learned to command his abilities, stopping much of the misfortune around him.

Ryshel is rather pessimistic and cynical of the world, viewing the cosmic order as out to get him, and does not like being around others. Like his brother, Ozarius, he was raised in a royal court and treated with little respect, but, unlike Ozarius, who has confidence in himself and a sense of direction, Ryshel is still a rather pessimistic fellow, though intensely loyal to Trodaka and Ridanax for giving him a chance to make something of himself, and wishes to desperately to live up to his father, who he sees as a charismatic and strong leader. Ryshel is close to his brother, Dortello.

  • Notes - Ryshel inherited his father's determination to keep going forward, as well as his ability to recognize others of worth and friendship, though in a less twisted manner. Despite his own despair and cynicism, Ryshel has never contemplated suicide.

  • Name - Calix
  • Gender - Male
  • Affiliation - Brotherhood (loosely)

Calix is another son of Terikalinra, formed some years ago, after Ridanax, and considered one of his most successful. Calix has long studied the ways of "magic" and essence, hoping to master it to help his father achieve his Transcendence. His skills with essence are second to none, and his scientific mind makes him dangerous to confront in combat. While he is not the strongest of warriors among his brothers (though still far above most mortals), his main strength comes from his mind. He is constantly weaving no traps and tricks to keep his opponents off his tracks and keep them off balance. One of his most notable successes is the construction of a device, integrated into his body, that allows him to toy with space time, stopping, speeding up and even reversing time, all of which can occur for 5 seconds. However, he desires the blood of a Koatria of Time to fully master the effects of time and his ability to manipulate it.

Calix is largely neutral towards his siblings, and prefers not to be an enemy of any of them, believing all of them family, and even those he dislikes, such as Kaidanax, or is technically an enemy of, like Ozarius, are not to be killed, due to the importance of family and sticking together. While he says nothing of his past, his attitude shows some consideration towards the idea of not being alone and wishing to have others like him and not be lonely.

His major concern is running his experiments, and learning to control the natural forces of nature and the universe around him, ultimately to help his father, though has private ambitions that few know about. While many are irritated with his quest for control over time, believing it a useless endeavor, only for chosen Koatria, Trodaka has approved of the ideal, giving him whatever resources he needs to complete his tasks, and ultimately seeking out more and more control over the matters of space time.

  • Notes - Calix inherited his father's scientific mind, and his ability to plan out new attacks and misdirections.

Sirkar was first conceived during a one night stand between the Ipsissimus of the United Persan Descendants Struki and the King of the Volver Brygon. During incubation the Dark One through the use of subterfuge planted a shard of his being into Struki's womb containing some of Ada's essence as well. The shard merged with the developing Sirkar transforming him into a Son of Shadow. Struki realizing what was insider her she had Sirkar aborted but kept him alive outside her body feeding him until he grew in physical and mental capacity for her to raise as normally as she could. He was bounced back and fourth between his mother in the UPD and his father in the UKA, learning the blade from his father and stealth and subterfuge from his mother.

However, as Sirkar's powers as a Son of Shadow began to manifest Struki realized she was just not able to teach him and in a daring move sent Sirkar to live with Emperor Gridlock of the UPD's then enemies the Zarbania Powers, hoping the Emperor's more noble qualities would win out. Gridlock helped train Sirkar to control his own manifesting abilities (strange fusion of void, shadow, and elemental fauna powers) as best he could with Sirkar developing a strong interest in the occult along the way. However, having doubts whether it was a good idea to let the Dark One get his claws into Skirkar, Gridlock elected to send off Sirkar again to his enemies in the Order or Zaraturai to receiving training as a koatria.

Sirkar is a rather quiet and secretive individual who often tends to seclude himself away from others rather than socializing much distancing himself from others to avoid harm he might cause with his void powers, often retreating into a world of alcohol and music when the stress gets too much for him. Despite this Sirkar tends to trust those who have proven themselves to be his friend implicitly and will be at their side no matter what. In combat Sirkar tends to assume that his enemies have the advantage over him every time and will thus often resort to risky and dangerous maneuvers making some wonder if he even fears pain or death, he does but his instinct to survive often overrides these fears even when it doing so is not needed or even advisable.

  • Notes - Sirkar is his father's shadow archtype or more accurately he has inherited everything his father rejects about himself.

  • Name - Fokairi
  • Gender - Male
  • Affiliation - Brotherhood

Fokairi is the youngest of Dark's children, having only recently come into existence, but one of his most dangerous children. Fokariri, by some twist of fate, had his development slowed down while within his mother, not fully developing for years, causing Dark to return to the world and accelerate his growth, and, in a rare case of sentiment, had him born within a meat-processing plant so he could have plenty of food to develop his power. He would continue his life, ignored and disregarded on Matrukoris, despite his resemblance to Gridlock. It was a big city, after all, and there was no time to heed his appearance, especially when he crossed over into Sector Ra.

Fokairi held delusions that he could make something of himself if he could gain a position within Sector Ra's management, but instead, became a petty drug addict, one of many in the lowest levels of Matrukoris. During the invasion of Matrukoris by the Brotherhood during the Return of THEM, Fokairi was found after unintentionally summoning several Rakar to him for protection against order enforcement squads, and was taken away by Trodaka, so she could teach him to harness his powers, which soon showed greater power potential then those of his brothers.

Fokairi has long loathed others more fortunate then himself, blaming them for his issues, and wishing to tear away the galaxy to get what he wants; complete anarchy, just so those he dislikes would suffer. He has the less developed powers then his brothers, due to his troubled development and birth, but has the most power potential, though his bad-temper does him little favors. This temper has caused him no end of trouble, and despite Trodaka's patience, she is growing annoyed with his bitterness.

  • Notes - Fokairi inherited his father's self-centered nature, as well as his tendency of blaming his short comings on the fault of others. Fokairi's name is based on the Japanese word, Fukai (不快), translating to unpleasant.

Sub-Empires[]

  • Name - Kingdom of Night
  • Darkling Lord - Vaprax

  • Name - Revenant Domain
  • Darkling - Krianus

Military[]

Brotherhood Army[]

The Brotherhood, though ruled by Darklings, comes to command many, many thousands of different species, similar to the Drakodominatus/Dominatus being a small but power faction within the larger Tyranny. The majority of their armies are made up of Skhrud, Oreer and Cultists, all considered disposable and largely the majority of armies. These forces receive whatever equipment they can steal or scrounge up from supplies, while considered disposable assets by the Brotherhood proper. Above them, are the Rakar Beasts, forged from the Dark Essence powers of the Darklings and unleashed to tear through their enemies, and the Mutran Spiders developed by Lord Zorax, and used by most Brotherhood forces in their raids and conquest.

Among the other servants species, include the remaining Fimiari, Shaagorin and Skordi, who occupy a middling rank.

Trusted above these, are the Marauder Tribes, of the Skallin, Sarkurgatian and Hrungothar, uplifted and their cultures modified to serve the Darklings' cause and lead their armies. They are large, brutish, and adept with most weapons in battle. They command with utmost authority the power of the Darklings' worshippers, and will not stand to see disrespect thrown their way, having free reign to kill those that do not show proper respect.

Above all of these, are the Darklings proper, each a powerful God on the battlefield, and able to direct their forces with great personal skill and psychic power. To face a Darkling is to face a force of nature, and few are ever strong enough to fight against them.

Brotherhood Fleet[]

Astrography[]

The Brotherhood has numerous worlds enshrined into their fold as either tomb worlds to bury their dead champions, or worlds that simply are a nexus point for dark energies, due to the actions of one or more inhabitants. Naturally, the homeworlds of their worshippers, such as the Skallin's, are natural locus points for Darkling energy, but the Brotherhood prefers to keep few worlds with a strong presence, simply letting their servants run and defend their worlds as they wish to independently.

The center and capital of the Brotherhood is Dastren.
