Description
A menacing creature with metallic, armored features and glowing red eyes dominates the scene. Sharp, jagged teeth add to its fearsome appearance, contrasting with the dimly lit background that highlights its ominous presence.
The THIRD of the new Spawn of A'ar Quintas! This being was killed in battle, and his rage was reborn with new powers! Powerful sonic blast attacks, massive form and strong jaws and sharp teeth! But with A'ar Quintas there must be a price to pay. In this case it lost its speech, but gained strength, tactical intelligence and increased telepathy!
X-ar'k'sis was an outcast picked on for his bulky size and mixed parentage while out on hunts, during the great war his colleagues picking on him and putting him down made him snap and he went on a berserker rage and killed his entire platoon squadron and was constrained and put on a ship back on their home planet for judgment and execution. However a stray blast from a rival ship vaporized the ship and left his dead spirit still contained in his capsule adrift in space, where his desire for vengeance caught the attention of A'ar Quintas. When the darkness was pulled together into A'ar Quintas this being was pulled along with it and A'ar Quintas analyzed his strengths and weaknesses and rebirthed him out with some semblance of his original powers. Originally he was built like a tank with wings that could barely keep him aloft, bulky and ungainly, so A'ar Quintas strengthened his wings, gave him metallic armor and gave more focus to his jaw which opened to reveal teeth much like A'ar Quintas himself. He gave him added tactical intelligence and cunning to temper his rage and a sonic blast that could tear through the air, giving him the nickname "Sky Ripper". In return he only had one pair of eyes, to keep his focus honed on the task at hand, his communication skills were less vocal and more telepathic, his speech reduced to harsh barks and growls, controlling through emotion rather than words, and he retained only one set of tails for balance. He also lacked an atomic blast like A'ar Quintas, with only his sonic blast and his sharp teeth and strong jaws to crunch his enemies in two. This was the price paid for coming back to life, although at a cost of always being loyal and subservient to his new father, A'ar Quintas, and being connected to its hive mind. Due to his ability to fly and his being built like a tank he is of a unique Specialty Arial Tank Class and is a Sub-Commander, with both speed and strength, but lacking a bit in agility, like trying to quickly turn a tank mid-air. He was a central hub of many underlings and would command them where to go normally staying out of direct battle, and commanding from a safe distance away, barrelling through enemies with sheer brute force and dropping lesser beings off his back and from his claws onto unsuspecting worlds and populaces, flattening the world below with his sonic blast first hand. He was much bigger than the average kaiju class, almost serving like a military ground force chopper to deploy troops when need be.
Current Status:
Damaged. He did not fully escape the blast that was sent from above to vaporize A'ar Quintas, and thus he was partially damaged, and he sought refuge on a meteorite where he burrowed deep in an attempt to rebuild himself. This also partially dislodged him from the collective, making him similar to 7 of 9, feeling adrift from the sea of voice, but still he felt the call of A'ar Quintas, and would come to his aid if needed. He is much like the balrog from the lord of the wings, burrowing deep and hiding until his master calls, but also questioning his existence and his fate, knowing he will never be accepted for his actions, and thus he hides, and hibernates, on a massive meteor chunk that was once part of a planet it helped destroy that barrels through space.
