Evitrix

History

For as long as Evitrix has lived, she has never been able to forget that one moment: timeless, grim, standing in the front row of an orderly crowd, peers to each side of her in a line formation. Blood spattered onto her face and even sprayed into her eyes, and yet she did not flinch; did not blink. She did not move at all, retaining her poise, arms clasped together behind her back as she stood upright and tall. What Evitrix stood in the face of was the execution of her father and mentor, whose very blood smeared across her face, as if it were engineered that way. The purpose of this execution was punishment for creating a weapon of war, the greatest and most devastating weapon ever forged in the universe.

Evitrix is one of the greatest engineers to have ever lived. Like all Adac that reign over Atharen, she was born to an alien civilization, one eventually destroyed by the colossal Mana-Eater known as the Outsider. Evitrix was a member of an elite cabal of scientists, along with Courlan, a group that once focused their genius on generating technologies meant to slay others of their kind, only to change their focus in the face of their species' extinction. When the Outsider destroyed the Adac homeworld, rending them scattered and crippled, she devised the construction of a vessel of unbelievable might: Eridan-5, a marvel unlike any the galaxy had ever seen.

Eridan-5 was, ultimately, a last ditch effort to escape the destruction that surrounded her kind. Utilizing Quantum Theory and a crux made from refined anti-matter and Divinity, Evitrix and her engineers learned to produce a vessel that could bridge time and space, folding the layers of reality to be able to leap to any point in the universe. It was their view that by utilizing this ability, they could escape the Outsider; create a distance long enough that it could never prey upon them, and in this theory the last Adac worlds invested their hope, sinking the last of their resources to enable the rapid production of this transcendent vessel. Evitrix became the hope of her kind, and when Eridan-5 was complete - and was proven to function - she was heralded as their savior. Nearly a million of her people funneled onto that ship, and it made its first voyage, moving through the endless dark to find a new home.

And, when it arrived, it was greeted by it. The Outsider. The beast swiped through the hull of the ship, sending it plummeting through space, the creature's tendrils extending out to carve through its sections like a blade. After a conflict that lasted for nine hours, the ship was completely razed, over ninety percent of the Adac on board slain in the conflict or due to the implosion of Eridan-5's energy core. Those that remained scattered across the new galaxy that surrounded them, fleeing in all directions so that the Outsider would need to hunt them one by one.

It was years after this point that Venadak found these stragglers, uniting those willing to join him in forging a new plane; a final escape from the Mana-Eater's grasp. During this time, Evitrix brooded and mourned, steeped in a confluence of regret and humiliation, lamenting her failure and blaming herself for the extinction of her people. She wept, and then eventually found herself numb of anything; numb of purpose and life, numb of any desire to escape or receive companionship. She was, in her view, the Adac's greatest failure, and it was only a matter of time before she was delivered her retribution by the Outsider's all-consuming maw.

Depiction

While many of the other Gods like to be seen as reverent, mythical beings, Evitrix prefers the regalia of an erudite sophisticate. Among all the Gods, she is the only one who continues to wear the adorned raiment of the Adac before Atharen's construction, demonstrating their old interstellar primacy. Work in progress.

Influence

"Eridan-5 was my life's work. Without it, I am nothing. With it, I am a God."

Evitrix is the greatest engineer the galaxy has ever known. Beyond innovating and improving upon already existing Adac technologies, Evitrix constructed the foundations of Atharen's World Magic, providing the blueprints for most arcane crafts as well as producing their initial instruments.
