#09 – Ekthuul The Raiser
Ekthuul is a female Achodut — her cool green skin and beautiful dorsal spines are a dead giveaway, very distinct from the giant sailfins and blue skin of the males. The name ‘Ekthuul’ most closely corresponds with a symbol set humans would call alchemical, complemented with a set of the heavier elements from our Periodic Table. She holds the most honored title of ‘Raiser’ because she is the best at raising energy levels – not only of individuals, but increasing the capacity of devices, and vehicles. She is ‘The’ Raiser, the one who discovered the gateway to the Transit System, including the line which, by all indications, leads to a source of unlimited energy, enough to raise all the Achodut to what we would call godhood, but what they refer to as the ‘Steady State’. Ekthuul is currently exploring the Transit System armed with the finest Harmonic Detractor, a weapon which draws upon the bearer’s willpower to siphon off underlying energy patterns from other creatures.
A point of etiquette: don’t call her cold-blooded. In fact, she believes human notions of ‘warm’ and ‘cold’ blood to be metaphor at best, and backwards ignorance leading to lowered energy levels at worst. It is, as they say, “un-raised”.
No. 26- The Glutton
Name: The Glutton
Actual Name: Stacey Michaels
Age: 39
Occupation: Unemployed/ Former Supervillain
Short Background:
Once upon a time, Stacey was a member of one of the most feared Supervillain Groups, “The Seven Sins”. He lived like a rock star and was on the front page of many newspapers. As the Glutton, Stacey is on top of the world.
Then the group disbanded.
Now, Stacey spends his days living off of his mother. However, when two of his old teammates want to recruit him for one last job, he hopes that it will bring back all of the fame he once had.
Despite being called “The Glutton”, Stacey is actually quite healthy. People assume that he will be a morbidly obese man, but his name is more related to his powers rather than his physical condition.
Stacey was born with the ability to drain the life from other people. At full power, he could kill a room full of people in seconds, but he tries to keep it low. Because of this, Stacey rarely needs to eat or sleep. He uses his power in order to do important things like play WoW and work on his autobiography (though he is only in the first chapter).
From Stacey’s point of view, you can only go up when you’re already at the bottom of the barrel.
If only he knew.
