Homebrew Eliksni Species Details

Origin Story

The Eliksni were once graced by the Great Being Daimonji, which they named the "Great Machine", and were given strength by this machine, allowing for the achievement of extra-terrestrial powers. They have a cloaking technology, which was originally designed as toys for children. The Eliksni made the advancement of ruling multiple star systems with the power which they upheld from the Great Machine, Daimonji. This was until an event known as the Great Destruction brought infighting among the prestigious Houses and later ended by the final destruction of Diamonji, as it was blasted into pieces across star systems. Their planet and civilization would be destroyed by an event called the Untamed Eye, which was when the gargantuan eye of Diamonji, turned meteoroid, smashed into their planet, flash-burning the surface and all inhabitants. In the aftermath, the surviving Eliksni, in space, became enthralled into a civil war over their houses' ruins and moreover their planetoid, before achieving a seeming less peace and embarking on a journey into space to locate another God in order to return to greatness. The Eliksni eventually arrived at the Solar System and discovered "The Great Machine", Uldren-Sov on Earth.

Arriving in the Solar System

When the Fallen first arrived in the Solar System, they terrorized Earth, conducting raids and attacks against cities and villages. Very early into these attacks, they started to meet opposition in the form of adventurers who fought back against them time and time again. The Eliksni grew to resent the adventurers, seeing them as an obstacle that stopped them from claiming the "Great Machine". Eventually, the space below the Uldren-Sov turned into the mightiest city, as more and more people gathered below Uldren-Sov, and thus walls were built to defend the city from the Eliksni. As time passed, the Fallen began to think that if they wanted to take back what was theirs, they would need to do it with violence. This was the start of the Eliksni Siege.

Eventually the Eliksni Houses withdrew completely from Earth, leaving behind piles of banners, weapons and armor.

Around this time, Prince of the Eliksni arose, Mithrax, and he arranged a meeting with all the houses in order to build a personal army of Eliksni for his own purposes. However, some Eliksni didn't agree with this anymore, and so decided to join forces with the troublesome adventurers, achieving a new life without the Great Machines, as they believed that this war would destroy the Universe. Because of this, they fight against the ruling of Mithrax.

Eliksni Personality

The average Eliksni shows little emotion. Many Eliksni only serve their appointed king Mithrax. His orders are simply to protect allies, complete tasks promptly and devote themselves to this task as they once did their house rulers in their civil war. However, there are Eliksni who feel pleasure in exploring their feelings and their freedom. Most Eliksni have an interest in religion, as they worship the Great Machine's but some embrace the faith and mysticism of other races, seeking higher purpose and deeper meaning.
