An evil divine antagonist
SC24 Prompt 23
Wave 3 | Prompt 3: An evil spirit or divine antagonist
Type: Character
I wasn’t sure what to do with this prompt at first, but after creating the Sunlit Vanguard, I thought of potential characters that could be seen as an evil spirit or divine antagonist, along with ceremonies of worship.
With a little AI help, I used a name it created, Nyxara, and thought the character could be very secretive, stealthy and reminiscent of the Greek goddess of the night, Nyx.
Nyxara is the first character to be written who is on the Wyrm of Chaos’ side. She is a dark-scaled wyvern, maybe. I’m not sure what exactly species she will be, I just put down wyvern because I don’t have any characters for that, including Ancients.
Nyxara is a mystifying Ancient Dragonkin renowned for her role alongside the Wyrm of Chaos. Legends and speculation shroud her in mystery, with some venerating her as a deity capable of assuming a human guise. This transformative ability has fueled stories of a malevolent human with strikingly similar characteristics and sinister objectives.
Many believe that Nyxara orchestrated the tyrannical rule from the shadows, manipulating events, while the Wyrm of Chaos merely served as a pawn to divert attention from her true designs.
She always seemed to be in the shadows, which is why some people believed she was the true mastermind behind the Twenty Year Scourge, and that the Wyrm of Chaos was really just a pawn to shift the focus off of her.
There also was a human villainous character that had a striking resemblance to Nyxara, which is why some people thought she might be some kind of diety capable of turning into human form. But this was just speculation; she could not.
During the devastating Twenty Year Scourge, a significant number of people held the belief that Nyxara, was the malevolent deity mastermind orchestrating the tyrannical rule. According to this belief, Nyxara manipulated the Wyrm of Chaos and other allies as mere pawns in her grand design. Moreover, it was widely thought that Nyxara possessed the ability to shapeshift into human form, as evidenced by a human character bearing an uncanny resemblance and sharing the same personality traits as Nyxara.
Nyxara was never really seen because she and some others were always focusing on trying to understand the Amberstone’s capabilities.
Nyxara is widely believed to have been the mastermind behind the Twenty Year Scourge. She was always shrouded in secrecy and was thought to be orchestrating the events from the shadows. There is speculation that Nyxara was deeply interested in unlocking the powers of the Amberstone and may have been diligently working to understand and harness its capabilities. However, her ambitions were thwarted when she met her demise in a fierce battle.
During the final battle with the Wyrm of Chaos, she never managed to understand the powers of the Amberstone. During the final battle, the Dragonguard used a high-powered laser to ionize a column of air above them, redirecting a lightning bolt. This injured the Wyrm of Chaos, but unfortunately, it also resulted in the deaths of her and a few others.
