Elysium

"The power of creation lays in my hands. And yet, I still have yet to find a way to create anything that makes me feel as if I accomplished anything. Perhaps...perhaps life itself will help me."

-Altair, to himself

The Cosmic Island Of Paradise

After the Golden Guardian left his duties as Earth's guardian. He went on to explore the infinite reaches of the galaxies in a search for himself, as well as act as guardian to others who aren't as capable. Yet, even in the role as guardian, he has never found the fulfillment that he wished for. Instead, he found himself locked into systems of chaos and vulgar. Eventually he picked up a new role, one as a creator. He created Elysium, not as a base of operation, nor as a headquarters, but as a home. A place to hang his cape and retire into himself, surrounded by his accomplishments.

Elysium was created from nothing, carefully molded into existence by Altair in an attempt to create a utopia in and of his image. It was molded upon the basis of life, and with it an abundance of flora and creatures scurry across its surface. While this masterpiece indeed exists, it is hidden from the rest of the chaos of the universe, wrapped deeply behind its fabrics thanks to Altair's prowess, making it inaccessible through magical or physical means, unless the Golden Creator allows it himself.

Elysium- Island Description

The Island of Elysium is just as its name suggests, an island in the middle of an endless space of clear blue sea and cloud filled skies. There is no night and there is no sun, with the light from Altair to provide it an eternal morning. Being based upon life and the concept of it, Elysium has an abundance of it, ranging from it's unrivaled flora to its creatures that scurried across its surfaces and took the skies and seas. Time moves through the plane of Elysium at a much faster pace than the rest of the universe, allowing events that would seem like a year to take place in the span of a minute.

Island Size: 5.347 million mi²

Dominant Species: Architect Vita

Founder: Altair Roark

Universe: CVnU

Ecosystem

The land of Elysium is full of life, its biosphere thrives, and the source of this life is Altair himself. Embedded into the very being of the forest is extremely potent, unlimited life-energy. It pours into the land and waters of Elysium, granting them life of all kinds, planets and animals, organisms the size of a single cell to towering peaceful giants. The Land of Elysium is home to many organisms, who feed on this life force itself, ridding the need of predation as Elysium continues to expand its land to support the growing group of immortal animals.

The dominant species on Elysium is the Architects, the gardeners and explorers of Elysium. The Architects tend to the gardens and share the unlimited life source of Elysium with the outside world. They shape the lands of Elysium with their own intelligence, building structures of grand to house their own kind. They share their knowledge with native and foreign creatures far and wide. All in the name of life and Elysium’s abundance.

However, while Elysium thrives with life, there are darker powers within its soils. Whenever the Island feels as if the population is too great or senses malice, it will remove the life-force from the problem entity and bury them in the soil, saping the nutrients from the being into the already rich earth. This makes use of the corpse, while also alerting Altair of the intrusion.

Leadership

While Altair is the Creator of Elysium and its residence, he is neither worshiped nor an active leading member, unless the Island as a whole suffers troubles. Instead the leading heads of Elysium are the Architect'sThree Council-heads; Vita Alpha, Vita Exima, and Vita Omega. This Council consists of the most influential of the Architect. The reason for the council is to watch over the expeditions and sectors of the outside universe, while also deciding who tends to the Gardens of Elysium and who explores the universe.

Defense Mechanisms

Asides from Elysium’s life-force defense systems, the Cosmic Island of Paradise has more ways to defend against predators, both naturally and artificially made by the Architects.

-Force Fields:The Island of Elysium has its own natural force field that acts as both a protective aura and repelling force, protecting those and strengthening those insides while actively repelling the intruder. The force field itself isn’t a physical space,but an infinite outward curvature of space-time, preventing the attacker and their attacks from entering.

-Origin Bombs: These weapons of mass creation, made from the Architects, are launched towards an enemy. These bombs create new life, either by changing the genetic code of an existing template (ex: The bombs hit someone and they would rearrange that beings genetic code, using deteriorating it), or by creating a new life-form to attack the enemy.

-Series of other Biological Weapons

Lumen-Vite Capital (LightLife Capital-Home of the Architects)

The Great Island Capital, Lumen Vita. was created by the efforts of the Architects with the materials produced by Altair to create this great city by the waters. It was designed with the elegance of the modern and ancient Greeks. The Capital consists of a marble-like matter, adding to it an atmosphere of beauty and elegance. Throughout the Capital, the subtle sounds of a series of different string instruments, both man made and alien. can be heard being played throughout the skies, an eternal harmony within the air, adding on to the beauty the city already had. Welcomed newcomers will cross the bridge into Lumen-Vita, over the infinite blue of the crystal seas below. The Capital city contains many beautiful gardens tended to by the Architects, which are seen as a symbolism to how they will tend to the dying planets beyond their gates.

Along with it's elegance and beauty, the material that the Capital was made from actively holds itself together with the power of the fundamental song-force, making it extremely durable and even have basic regenerative properties

Rules

1) As you may have noticed, Elysium has extremely difficult to find. So, if you do wish to find it, set up a series of posts explaining how you found it.

2) For any major destruction, contact me or my many alts, most notably @ignaticus_

3)Have fun, cause I'm gonna!
