Elzaya, Queen of the Infraverse
In the subatomic dimension known as The Infraverse lies the Empire of the Seventeen Worlds. The Empire is isolated from the rest of the infraverse by the Scourge Barrier, a nebulous region that corrodes the Empire’s organitech, including the starships it once used to bring order to the worlds now ruled by the Konteel royal family.
The descendants of those warriors, King Rylon and Queen Variste had a daughter, Elzaya, who spent most of her time enjoying the opportunities of her station rather than undertake the responsibilities appointed to her. During one of her frequent rides in the countryside, she discovered the unconscious body of a stranger: the Earth-Prime hero known as Whoop-Ant, who had been thrown into the Infraverse by an ASTRO Labs experiment gone awry.
Whoop-Ant recovered and the pair became friends, quizzing each other about their respective homes. Elzaya’s Uncle Bylar, the Konteel throneworld’s head councillor, recognised that this visitor may hold information that could aid the Empire. Bylar petitioned the king to allow the genegineers to study Whoop-Ant more thoroughly.
The king approved, and over the next few days Bylar’s scientists attempted to learn all they could from their visitor. Whoop-Ant tolerated this, mostly because it meant he was allowed to spend every evening with Elzaya. The two of them would dine together and talk until late at night. On the fifth such night, the pair were interrupted by Navagatrix, Whoop-Ant’s team mate, using her dimension-travelling powers to appear and offer to take him home. Although the pair were clearly in love, they knew they were from different worlds and it was only right that he return to his. They kissed once, then Navagatrix took Whoop-Ant home.
While the next few weeks proved to be difficult for Whoop-Ant as he believed he may never see Elzaya again, they were much more devastating for her. Days after Whoop-Ant left, the organitech in the stronghold began dying. Soon after that, the contagion spread to the citizens, to the king and the queen, and to Elzaya. She lay in a coma for weeks, but managed to fight off the infection only to discover that her parents had died and she was the new queen of the Seventeen Worlds. Bylar had also survived. He informed her that 35% of the population and almost all of the organitech had died. The genegineers were able to trace the cause to Whoop-Ant. Elzaya couldn’t believe someone so dear to her could be the cause, but her Uncle Bylar advised her that the people needed someone to blame and that if action were not taken quickly she may be seen as weak, which would put the entire Empire under threat.
With a heavy heart, she had Bylar put the Empire on a path to war with Earth-Prime. The genegineers were able to create a series of gates that mimicked the energies that brought Whoop-Ant from Earth Prime and created new batches of organitech that were immune to whatever biological agents Whoop-Ant and his Earth-Prime allies had released on their world. Within a few years, the entire Empire was transformed from a relatively peaceful society to one driven by revenge and ready to strike against its enemy. War is coming to Earth-Prime.
Physical Description
Apparel & Accessories
Natives of the Seventeen Worlds are all strong and hardy, but Elzaya is further enhanced by a suit of organitech armor. The mildly-psionic armor resembles an armadillo-like ball that trails behind Elzaya while not in use, but can form around her to provide protection and offensive capabilities at a moment’s notice. Elzaya’s suit resembles a crustacean while in use and provides her with abilities such as her bio-electric shock and damaging aura. She normally uses the retractable quxil blade as a last resort.
Mental characteristics
Intellectual Characteristics
The once carefree Elzaya has reluctantly become the leader of a warlike empire, a burden that plagues her every waking hour. She hopes once she’s crushed her enemies, she can return the Empire of the Seventeen Worlds to its previous, peaceful existence.
Social
Contacts & Relations
As the Queen-Empress of the Empire of the Seventeen Worlds, Elzaya has vast resources at her command. Elzaya has been convinced that Whoop-Ant was an unwitting pawn of other, more powerful and influential people of Earth-Prime. She doesn’t blame him for his role, but she’s sworn to destroy humanity for the death of her family and subjects.
