Delta Theros: An Ideally Brief Overview; Nyran's personal story-based universe and such

So in the summer of 2014, I made a decision. I decided that I was, for the most part, gonna desist with trying to insert my characters and ideas into a world of someone else's. I mean, aside from fun forum games and such like on here.

To this end, I took the Nyran character, who had at one point been designed for Bionicle, later for Transformers, and then GSAR after that, and brought him into his own world. A world of magic and might. A world of sword and sorcery. But then I got to thinking that pure fantasy should not be the name of the game.

Eventually I decided to make it not one world, but a number of worlds! A cosmos full of ancient arcane mystic forces, diverse biologies, and of course, alien science and technology.

Nyran Altair

the human born Nyran Altair was born into poverty in a fantasy rendition of feudalism, like ya do, and was ditched by his birth parents, and taken in by another, as was quite common for the struggling poor in those times.

He was trained in the arts of commanding the rocks and plants around him, and eventually was allowed admittance into the Cave of Deep Sorcery, where those of that persuasion often ended up in their teenage years.

He donned a vest of green to signify his allegiance, and a mask imbued with a mystic catalyst that would amplify power, as most mages had in those days.

Paladius Orcen Valiton

Paladius Orcen Valiton is a member of the Girael, a bipedal insectoid race of alien life forms who, in this era, visited Earth for the sake of study and exploration. Fascinated by their concept of the arcane, Paladius, in secret, attempts to master this mystic power on his own. His efforts, however, are fruitless, for the staff he has created is made of metal, a substance that is considered "dead," and thus unable to channel mystic powers.

Nyran is his unwitting specimen of study in his time on earth

Nyran Altair (cont.)

Disaster! in an epic clash for territory, Nyran, fighting for the Cave of Deep Sorcery, is afflicted by a strange mystic toxin that it seems none of his allies are able to cure in the heat of battle. Nyran passes out, but Paladius intervenes, undetected, and removes his body from the battlefield. There, Paladius and his fellow scientists set to work on attempting to repair him. Unable to counter the arcane source of the thing, Paladius takes desperate measures.

He attempts to utilize the Girael's advanced robotics technology and neuroscience to completely remove any organic components from Nyran's mind, thus making the toxin unable to spread.

And so Nyran is reformed into a mechanical life-form. Unable to live among his kind anymore, Nyran sets off with the Girael towards the stars in his new form: a steelskin knight

Sir Zacchaeus

Sir Zacchaeus, knight of Doldurum, is a Korriok, a humanoid species with ramlike horns. Nyran and Paladius, in their travels, visit the recently colonized Doldurum, and there Nyran inspires the warrior people with romantic tales of knights and chivalry and swords and sorcery. And so the wide-eyed young colonists adopt chivalry and the medieval aesthetic for their own, mixing it in with their own advanced weaponry and armor, yet making it look deceptively simple.

Zacchaeus is in fact so enthralled, that he eventually comes to join Nyran and Paladius on their ship, travelling the cosmos for this and that.

In any case, these three are the main characters, but there's much more to the lore that I have planned for a more full write-out and such,

for those curious

a full timeline can be read Here.

A full image gallery of used and unused concepts for the universe can also be viewed Here.

thanks for taking the time to see my silly things.

I really do wish I had more right away. I'm all talk, though.

Nothing of the actual direct narrative has been written out, sadly

just rough WIP concepts regarding some lore and stuff. All of it very badly in need of further editing on my part.

This is an incomplete and dated character list so I don't forget my own made up names.

Additionally, this is a very early draft attempt at documenting the entire history of a whole planet and its dominant species

this is more just for my own reference than anything else

I'll get down to actually doing more than just documenting stuff eventually, though, I'm certain.

The Light's Justice

Popping in to say the obvious 'CZ is a great artist'. Knight-Ran takes a lot of inspiration from Gallantmon/Dukemon, in a way I enjoy.

Bring us more of this world, if you wish! I'm certainly excited for it.

Those who fight for Injustice, fear my name! As long as I stand, no shadow shall escape my sight. By the Holy Light!

No, just space.

Nyrans Vega and Deneb are from alternate universes, but Nyran Altair, the main entity, never uses the prime reality.

No, Deneb as in the star. The one in the Summer Triangle.

The other two stars in that formation are Altair and Vega.

Delta is like, the shape of a triangle

and Theros is summer.

Hence

Delta Theros. It's like, subtle. Or something.

I mean, I'll try?

As of now, I don't really have too much to offer

everything's too foggy to really stem prose stories from at this point
