“Incomprehensible. This is what the younglings of the present say when they see a small bit of our technology. The Vida'Rra are the most ancient life in this universe, and it's technology is rivalled only by the mightest of the mightest. They sacrificed their own beings to secure that life would go on for another day. Everyone has forgotten of their existance, but be sure of one thing: they haven't forgotten you.”
The Vida'Rra (in their language: The First Born) were the very first lifeforms to exist in this universe (not counting supernatural creatures or deities who existed before the universe was formed). They were not, however, the first lifeforms to become sentient. The Vida'Rra possessed the power of controlling Thoi Themek, also known as Dream Energy.
The Vida'Rra are believed to have once been part of a group of lifeforms known as the Ultraterrestrials.
History
The Vidi'Rra have a complex history, divided into two different epochs of the universe.
The First Epoch
Quark life.
The Vida'Rra evolved in a very different era of the universe, during the Quark epoch], between 10–12 seconds and 10–6 seconds after the Big Bang. It is a common misconception that earlier era's of reality were any less developed. At the time the universe contained high energy radiation, so hot that protons and neutrons would "melt". In the melting pot that was the universe, matter was instead a fluid of quarks and gluons, however, wherever defects in spacetime existed, there was gravitational attraction, and this lead to organized complexity. Although the epoch was fundamentally short in comparison to sentients of the cold stelliferous era, who's minds rely on slower processes of information, in the high energy environment of the superheated cosmos, entire evolutionary processes took place.
The Vida'Rra's perception, goals, technology and much else was completely alien to nearly all future civilizations in the colder, future universe. But the Vida'Rra at least built their own analogs of civilisation and technology. However, the Vida'Rra appeared right on the edge of the Quark epoch. The universe was already cooling off naturally due to entropy, but this process began to mysteriously accelerate, just like the universe was found to be accelerating in the future.
The acceleration was of course, caused by the Xhodocto themselves, in the form of demon plasma (see The Quest for Cosmospawn), a highly computational cloud of chaos. The Vida'Rra began to die horribly as the quarks and gluons of their own bodies began to combine into protons and neutrons, and eventually atomic nuclei. The Vida'Rra, knowing their doom created holograms, called the Vida'Rranlora, who were composed of decaying loops of cosmic string, common in the early universe. They waited...
The birth of stars
As solar radiation, with certain spectral lines which indicated metallicity began to be detected by the dormant holograms, as the solar energy was bending into a light cone around the cosmic strings, the Holograms activated and seeked planets to create a second generation of Vida'Rra. After 1 billion years, the Vida'Rra had returned to the universe, this time adapted to being made of the essence known as "Dream Energy".
The Vida'Rra became an extensive empire which spanned through most, if not all galaxies of the young universe. They became the greatest civilization of their time, their empire seen as gods by the younger races. However, the golden age of Vida'Rra would come to an end when Shu'rimrodir emerged from dark space.
Extinction
After a long time of strive, the Vida'Rra eventually faced a new threat: The Corruptus. The entropic beasts of Shu'rimrodir swarmed the universe, controlling an energy that appeared to be the opposite of the Vida'Rra's composition. The Vida'Rra eventually sacrificed themselves and defeated the Corruptus.
While the Vida'Rra species is extinct, many of their technologies, including the Vida'Rranlora, still exist scattered around the universe. Another legacy of theirs are their "descendant" races, which are species descended from hybrids created by Vida'Rra and other alien races. The Bonio are the first and so far only descendant race known.
Characteristics
A Vida'Rra
Biology
The Vida'Rra were large, four armed creatures, vaguely bird-like. Each pair of hands represent their power, the flog-like hands representing the creation of worlds, and the scaly clawed hands representing their destruction by the hands of others. They have a pair of large, feathered wings and a large bony tail. They were between 3.5 and 4 meters tall and weighted around 275 kg. The Vida'Rra were capable of shapeshifting, changing themselves into a fluid-like substance before becoming their new appearences.
The Vida'Rra were a unisexual species, meaning they only had one gender. One notable feature of their species is being capable of reproducing with any alien race, thanks to their shapeshifting nature.
Abilities
The Vida'Rra possessed the power of using Thoi Themek, the energy of the Realm of Dreams. They could use this energy to empower their abilities and weapons. This power also gave them the ability of seed life in sterile planets, the energy causing chemical reactons that resulted in the birth of cells.
When a large amount of Vida'Rra were together, they could alter space itself, lowering or increasing the distance between two objects on spacetime. The empire used this power to create new planets and sometimes even stars.
Society
Not much about their society is known, except that they had a religion where Shu'rimrodir was considered the devil. They were ruled by a emperor, who had "Sages" as his advisors. Vida'Rra artifacts hint that they may had worshipped the Vi'Navitum as a race of masters.
Technology
The Vida'Rra's technology was very advanced, giving them ability to cross millions of light years in a matter of seconds. Their military was not as advanced as the rest, as they rarely had wars due to their size and friendlyness. Vida'Rra technology is very rare, and is said to be beyond the compreention of most mortal races.
Notable Individuals
“I will take Shu'rimrodir down, no matter what.”
- Name - Rhigeo Fuerq
- Affiliation - Vida'Rra Imperium
- Status - Deceased
Rhigeo Fuerq was the last military leader of the Vida'Rra. Ascended by the powers of the Realm of Dreams, he was the one who fought and defeated Shu'rimrodir during the War of Black Fog, trapping him inside the Realm, but sacrificing himself in the process.
Rhigeo Fuerq was brought back to life during the Second War of Black Fog, where he once again led his allies against Shu'rimrodir. Confronting the demon inside the Realm of Dreams, Rhigeo once again sacrificed himself to defeat him, turning him into stone.
While dead, Rhigeo's soul still exists, wandering across the Gigaquadrant.
“The dark fog will consume everything who tries to oppose it!”
- Name - Arrtkar Crowart
- Affiliation - The Corruptus
- Status - Active
Arrtkar Crowart as once a notable Vida'Rra sage, until he sold his soul to Shu'rimrodir to survive being killed along with his race. Dubbed the "Betrayer of Life", Arrtkar aided the demon in killing his former race, until Rhigeo Fuerq killed him along with the rest of the Corruptus.
During the second War, Arrtkar returned to activity, convincing several alien races to join Shu'rimrodir's cause. He also haunted the dreams of the enemies of the Corruptus, attempting to demoralize him. Howver, in the end, he was killed off again.
Arrtkar was revived since, and is currently serving as an internal leader to Shu'wokerama's servants.
“I will have my revenge.”
- Name - Felaanith Crowart
- Affiliation - Isio'Nar
- Status - Deceased
Felaanith Crowart was Arrtkar's brother and a notable Vida'Rra sage. When Shu'rimrodir rose and stormed the Vida'Rra's worlds, Felaanith was one of the first to stand against the new threat. However, when he suspected that Arrtkar had turned to their enemies' side and told that to Vida'Rra sages, everyone believed that he merely wanted to blacken his brother's name to take his place, and so he was exiled. Then, in exile, he became aware that Arrtkar betrayed their people and Vida'Rra are now extinct. He has sworn to vengeance.
Joining Venhokwe Divin-Ra into her search for ancient power, he managed to ascend into an Isio'Nar. With new powers, he waited for the opportunity of annihilating Shu'rimrodir for destroying his home. He had this opportunity during the Second War, when he led the Isio'Nar against the Corruptus' forces.
Felaanith was later killed during the Recruitment by Arrtkar and Divin-Ra.

Trivia
- The Vida'Rra were originally known as "Kingish".
- The Vida'Rra's unisexuality and ability of mating with any species is inspired from the Asari from the Mass Effect series.
