Faction Veruni Player Alpha8087 Quote "All of my fabulous research, reduced to a mere 'whatever'?! How could you say such things!?" Profile Very few Veruni are quite as strange as the mountain of a man known as Elvis. With a titanic strength that is only exceeded by his unmatched intellect, Elvis seems more interested in exploration and research than he is in enslavement and conquest; he has on more than one occasion completely ignored both his duties and Volsung's orders in favor of furthering his own academic pursuits and wandering the world outside the Veruni Control Zones. Though bombastically eccentric, absent-minded, and more than a little childish at times, Elvis treats all people as equal and seems to be the most reasonable and fair-minded of the Sentinels... when it doesn't come to his research, anyway, where he has a tendency to just take things that don't belong to him if he feels he could use them better. Currently, the man known to many as "the Professor" is off on a journey to uncover a way to reverse the debilitating epidemic threatening his kind with extinction, seeing Volsung's plan as a last result if he can find no other way. Now, if only he could find his research assistant... Background Little is known of Elvis' beginnings, though spent the first half of his life born on and living on Locus Solus as it traveled the cosmos toward a new home. One he only heard stories of passed down from generation to generation. Early on, he was a very talented and gifted mind, able to grasp complicated algorithms. His Veruni evolution over time granted incredible muscular physique as he began to practice phsyical activities while pondering equations and paradoxes. Elvis was officially recognized as the genius he was by writing a series of papers on the understanding of the genetic changes of the Veruni and how they diverged from their ancestors. Elvis was ecstatic to be among those living upon return to their ancestor's home and learn of the wonders it held, ready to foray out into the world, though soon it was found to be... not the case. Quickly the Veruni leaders moved to take their homeland as theirs. The forces occupying Filgaia swiftly moved in and thwarted them, Elvis cared little for this move against humanity, as technically they are their relatives from a tangential path. The losses the Veruni felt from then weren't that big of a deal to him either. But one thing was. A strange illness began to affect members of their civilization. Believed to be some sort of airborne effect in Filgaia's atmosphere, it was dubbed the VR Factor. Veruni scientists were stumped as to how to stop it. Having made a name for himself, Elvis was brought on to try and solve the VR Factor. His great strides even earned him a position in the Four Sentinels. There is one small problem to his research, and it comes in the form of Carol Anderson. As Elvis began to venture out in the field himself to find answers, he came across Carol as some kind of human orphan. Elvis knows an intelligent mind when he sees one, and rather leave her to the elements, took her under his wing. Elvis has lost crucial time finding the answer for the VR Factor to taking care of Carol and teaching her many fascinating subjects and problem-solving tools to help her better. However, recently Carol has taken off on her own again, and Elvis is beside himself. The VR Factor is still incredibly important, but so is his adopted daughter! In his travels, he seeks both, which could be detrimental to both searches. As the years have progressed on Filgaia, Elvis finds his emotions are beginning to get the better of him for some reason as well. Elvis believes it could either be beginning effects from the VR Factor on himself, or simply him opening up to Carol more somehow. As of recent, a potential lead was found in a ceremonial mirror called the Mirror of De Soto, taken from Mirapulse. Taking it to try using it in a nearby ruin to discover ancient knowledge, In the process of discovering its secrets, he was beset upon by a group of young humans looking for the mirror. He bested them, but happenstance (and a large boulder) caused him to drop and lose the mirror, then was left in the mine as it collapsed. After a lot of work, Elvies fought his way out of the mountain. Yes, he fought the mountain. And won. At this point, he is continuing his research, waiting for another good chance to learn something interesting and new that could be the key to understanding the VR Factor. And of course, trying to find out the whereabouts of Carol. Recent History Like many others, Elvis was one of the unfortunate (or perhaps fortunate somehow) people who were randomly displaced upon Lunar Relationships TO BE CONSTRUCTED. Powers and Abilities TO BE CONSTRUCTED. Research, Equipment, and Discoveries ~Research~ Here is where the subjects Elvis is looking in to, solving, or attempting to research and understand fall, and those who have made significant contributions. Subject Progress Thoughts The VR Factor "A horrific degenerative illness that grips the Veruni. Regardless of age, gender, and proficiency, it eventually grips any Veruni residing on Filgaia, causing weakness, frailty, and eventually, death. There is no known cure yet, but I WILL find it!" Notes: The crippling illness that drives some Veruni to such extreme measures as to subjugate and remove Humans from Filgaia, believing they must re-assert themselves as the prime form of life to cure it. It is certainly believed that there is a magical or spiritual attachment to this disease. Elvis has found that Filgaia is rejecting the Veruni for being a foreign entity, and they must reconnect on some sort of magical or spiritual level for this to work, and believes Humans are intrinsically, and the Veurni's ancestors were as well. However, no possible method thusfar has been found, nor has there been any promising leads. Kaguya and Matilda Whitehead Have found promising research upon Lunar that they have together passed on to Elvis. For one, medicinal cures on Lunar that appear to be more cost effective to implement that help resist the effects of the VR Factor, but not cure it. As well, the VR Factor is considerably suppressed or weakened on Lunar. Elvis surmises it is due to a distant proximity to Filgaia, and it has less effect on someone that far away. This further supports the correlation of a spiritual or magical illness. Subject Progress Thoughts Sin "What the HELL was that thing?! It was titanic in size and power. It decimated a Human civilization in moments! It even tried to plucked a sample from a creature it shed, it the sample de-materialized! How am I supposed to look in to it now?! At least it is back on Lunar..." Notes: A gargantuan creature of some magical origin. It revealed itself to the Human city of Azado, then promptly cratered it. No apparent reason behind it, as no one was around announcing it was being controlled. It shed countless creatures that attacked any living thing. It controlled space as if a plaything. Its fleshy patterns and structure didn't match anything seen before. With no material and nothing but jarring memories to go off of, for now this is one research subject that won't make much headway... Subject Progress Thoughts Malevolence "Huh, a strange force of magical energy, barely visible to the eye. Humans said they could see things clearly, yet I cannot. WHY IS THAT?! Perhaps my eyes cannot see the spectrum wavelength of that power..." Notes: An off-kilter type of power sensed, just barely, by Elvis on Lunar. Creatures, areas, even individuals seem to be affected at times. Some are even able to sculpt it in to powerful spells and sorcery. Whatever source it stems from, Elvis will require a specimen. Most likely a live specimen, to try and find out just what makes it tick. Perhaps he can invent something that will help him see that energy then! Time will tell, though something certainly pings as special about it. It isn't just another source of power... Logs and Cutscenes TO BE CONSTRUCTED.
