Hierophants and the Planet Nekros

Hierophants of the Darkness are demonic beings that terrorize Nekros (fka Scuron), Syfir’s planet. They live for destruction, killing, eating, and generally posing a threat to the people. These creatures live in the depths of the darkest caves, and are spawned from two ways.

1. A Nekronian dying of extreme hunger
2. A Hierophant eating the heart of a Nekronian

They get their name from their main purpose: messengers. No one can understand their cryptic ramblings, but Hierophants constantly warble and make odd, deep pitched noises that can only be described as their own language. The Darkness, and almighty and all-knowing being that is the closest thing Nekros will ever get to a “God”, has never been seen and is the reason for all the various demons and attacks These Hierophants are the first sign of an attack or a disaster, a bad omen; the message of death itself.

Although the Darkness sounds and seems like a Devil of some sort, he is actually the planet’s Guardian (my universe’s ver. of gods). In order to wield Umbral Aether, the user must have a void, a darkness in them, mentally and emotionally. In the eyes of the Darkness, his doings only fuel that power, and should be seen as a gift, as a reason to fight with Umbral. The common sense of Nekronians, however, hate this philosophy and do everything in their power to stop the demons that are sent.

Like most Nekronians, Syfir has a dark, sad past that he never likes to speak of, which is why he carries a depressed, quiet yet angry aura around. His best friend, a girl named Akira, 16 like he was at the time (now 17), was his only joy, his only flicker of love. She couldn’t see it, because he didn’t know how to show it, but he loved her with every part of his heart. On one fateful day, Akira was swept into a massive attack, and got caught by a crowd of Hierophants. Burning tears of anger in eyes, Syfir fought as hard as he could, but to his despair, it was too late. After all this, the hardest part was having to kill his friend, now turned a Hierophant.

Hierophants are going to look like a lean-infused mix of a Psion from Destiny 2 (pic 2) and an imp from Doom (pic 3) because I just got it and it’s amazing.

Does anyone actually read these…
