Origin story

Ara's life began when many more ended: the origin of her existence can indeed be traced to the Bloodbath, at Alma's last breath.

As she lay dying, a blade meant for Ego lodged in her bosom, Alma's gaze met his, and with a smile she passed in his arms. 

The air about him was already crackling, ready to conjure a rift that would wipe such a rotten world from existence, when he noticed movement from the body that was supposed to lay limp in his grasp.

Dumbfounded, Ego found himself witnessing a miracle.

Her head rose, as if from a deep sleep, and looked about with a mightily confused expression on her face: confusion that then turned into abject terror when she noticed the blade sticking out of her chest.

Her gaze met Ego's and he understood: she was not the Alma he knew. With a newfound surge of panic he felt her life slipping: he would have lost her, whoever she was, once again.

"Who are you, child?" he asked of the face of his old friend.

"Ara." she sputtered.

"Help."

And thus, Ara was in pain no more. Her corpse, now nearly immaterial, began to slip from Ego's grasp.

He let it fall to Naluund below, a newfound glimmer in his gaze. And as the glaciers of Mor'Gul creaked under the impact of her divine corpse, Ara's fleeting first life began to set in motion terrible happenings; for the only thing scarier than a mad god is an hopeful one.

Character profile

Ara is a wholly unique creature, a quasi-omnipotent goddess born of the perception of the Strongholds themselves: although she has no real lineage, she can be traced back to Alma, whose corpse served as a template to give her substance within the Material World; as such, it could be argued that Faust is a descendant of hers.

Her body in life was most comparable to that of an Empyrean, possessing traits like their enhanced physical qualities, innate propensity to most facets of Oniric Magic and most importantly their Imperfect Resurrection. It has to be noted, however, that Ara's enhanced physique seemed to be heavily skewed towards resilience and healing, and her strength and speed, while superior to what one would expect from her appearance, were at best above average.
