Background on the Khelds


Encrypto

 

Posted

As I'm soon to roll me an epic AT, I've got the main basis for the character but need some background info on Khelds themselves.

I get their aliens, part of their life cycle is kind of symbiotic, host-like etc, right?

Warshades are different in background to Peacebringers how?

Are they supposed to relate to your character somehow? In theory of course?

Why are they in Paragon?

The Nictus are surgically enhanced evil ones, is this right?

And why are Void Stalkers and Quantums always popping up to do them harm?

You get the gist i hope!!

Cheers for your time, it all helps with a creative bio I have in mind!

Questions i really wanna know the answers to aswel please. The only additional info i can provide is when picking up a plaque once i actually stopped to read it, it said this was the spot where the first kheld used his power to help defend paragon, suddgesting that the was maybe a period of alliance but where the khelds refused to get involved for 1 reason or another. A pitifull piece of info i know and am sorry, but like i said i will be keeping a close eye on this tread and would love someone with the knowledge and time to let us know.

Just going to act out of memory now, so some points might be flawed (have to check my story arcs again for correct details)

yup, iirc they only live for 10 years in their "normal" habitat. However, the nictus (which are also an alien life form) started to act like parasites, unwillingly taking over a host's body to live longer. To battle the nictus, the peacebringers and warshades did the same thing, however they merged with willing hosts.

Warshades are nictus, but they turned to the "good" side. Reformed nictus as you might say.

well, my WS is linked to my original 50... however generally speaking your 50 isnt linked to your kheld. Of course feel free to give the story your own twist if you want

Because the nictus are here as well, the kheldians fight an epic battle with the nictus for ages and ages throughout the whole galaxy. Earth aint the only planet where the nictus vs peacebringer/warshades war is fought. The main reason it is centered in paragon city is because of the Council.

not really, nictus are aliens just like the warshades/peacebringers (in fact, as stated before, warshades ARE nictus). The nictus travelled to earth and started occupying humans so the peacebringers/warshades did the same. Peacebringers/warshades merged with willing hosts, whereas nictus took over the ones weak of mind or body. The ones with strong enough a mind could force the nictus out. However the nictus acted like voices in someone's head and promised great strength, riches, power, etc etc to someone to persuade em to let the nictus stay in. Eventually the nictus "took over" the 5th column, thus producing the council. Arakhn is the boss of all nictus with requiem second in command.

Voids are mercenaries trained by Arakhn. They are humans infused with so many nictus fragments and modified with Quantum energy that they turn into the kheldian hunter as we know them. The combination of nictus fragments and quantum energy makes them highly resistant to kheld damage, while causing extra damage to khelds themselves. These mercenaries are then rented to other groups to hunt down khelds.

[POSSIBLE SPOILER] I dont know exactly why they are classed as a seperate villain group instead of being part of the council. It might be because they are mercenaries, but may also be because Arakhn plans on taking over the Council for herself, and use its giant network to fight the khelds. [/POSSIBLE SPOILER]

Quantums are nothing more than normal baddies armed with a Quantum Array Gun (a gun infused with nictus fragments and modified by quantum energy)

hope this all helps you a bit

Picked a stack of info, i didn't know or half thought i knew etc.

Better understanding all round and hopefully a bio that makes sense now!
