Abyss-- request for Rueyeet

This was done as a request for ~rueyeet


Alrighty, well since she had me due this and she was asking about it, I'm gonna take the liberty to write up a bio for Abyss as well as a little backstory info, hopefully answering some questions.


I apologize for any grammatical errors and/or typos. ;;OTL
-----------------------------------


Abyss is the fourth oldest of the seven Zalmunna, the beings left by the goddesses (after they retired to the sacred realm) to help uphold the balance in the land after they left (the Paladins (aka Siderans) are the polar force to the Zalmunna, they being beings of light whereas the Zalmunna are of darkness). He's is very reserved, speaking his mind and remaining cool in many situations. Although he can be easily annoyed (especially when two certain siblings harass him. ) he rarely becomes angry past the point of being that, though when he is furious or enraged, the cause of that fury had better high-tail it.

Abyss specializes in the creation of objects from raw shadow as well as the high level magics needed to create shields, portals, etc. What he is not skilled at is healing, hence why he had enlisted a subserviant poe to aide him in that respect (This would be Syba, for those of you not familiar with this fact). He's very powerful and very intelligent, someone you would not want to be enemies with.

Interesting fact: Abyss enjoyed using his limitless time as an immortal picking up new skills such as playing the flute.

Another interesting fact: abyss is HORRIBLE at winning games that require any ammount of luck, from rock-paper-scissors to go fish. Spheira has inevitably inherited this lack of luck.

Abyss soon became infatuated with the leader of the Paladins, who was later banished to the shadow realm by his subordinates. Since shadow is corosive to light in Abyss' realm, he decided to take action so that he could stop killing the one he loved and, if all went as planned, allow himself to be with his love without the fear of death.

So Abyss granted Syba freedom and left with Ziven a pendant secretly containing a key spell that would later be needed, if he were to be allowed to keep his life. After this, he left to gain power, soon selling himself to the shadows and become a monster, razing the land with shadows and chaos, losing control of himself at that point.

Abyss was soon sealed by the Goddesses themselves, for he had gone through several of their Chosen. However, as henious as his crimes had been, he could not be outright destroyed for fear of terribly upsetting the balance. Instead, he was sealed by magical chains of light and raw power from the goddesses and had his soul bound to that of a future hylian child (congradulations, Spheira! lol.). Though the goddesses did not know this, Abyss had banked on this being the resolution, which is why he had given the pendant to Ziven.

Spheira, as he grew up, had no access to the shadow magic he would soon be able to use due to his bond with Abyss. This changed when moblins attacked his family's farm after the violent takeover of Hyrule by Ganondorf (this is OoT time, mind you.) and killed his parents, backing Spheira and his sister Kamielle into a dead end. Spheira had ended up getting such a shock that he lost conciousness for a moment, transporting himself to the area of his soul where Abyss was being held. When he saw teh being there, he begged Abyss to help save him and his sister (not even knowing who Abyss even was).

Abyss agreed, used some powerful shadow hoodoo to break the manacles on his wrists and jerking Spheira back to his body, controlling him so that he pulled himseld and Kamielle through the shadows on the barn wall and into the barn where they were able to take the horse stabled there and escape to Castle Town.

After that, Abyss went into a recession because of the ammount of power he had had to use to break the manacles the Goddesses had set on him. But since part of Abyss was free, Spheira was allowed to tap into that power and start using it, soon having it help him in his criminal career.

Abyss was finally let out of the full seal when Spheira happened upon Ziven and Ziven discovered exactly WHO Spheira was. Using the pendant to break the bond, Abyss was allowed full control of Spheira's body, if need be. (You can tell when it's Abyss using Spheira's body when the markings Abyss has appear on Spheira's skin and there's another set of eyes on his face, lol.).

Abyss, because he is now in a mortal body, cannot do most of the magic he would be able to had he his own body again. Strong shadow magic eats at the flesh, meaning Spheira can't jsut whip out shadowclaws or someting and expect to come out unscathed. Even speaking Zalmunnan, especially as anchors for high-level magic, makes their throat raw, sometimes causing violent coughing or laryngitis.

Alrighty, that's about all for the backstory.... if you have any questions, feel free to include them in the comments and I might add them up here in the AC as a FAQ or something. <3
