Name: Breaker (Male)
Physique: An absolute mountain of a man, his physique defined by hyper-dense, VITA-enhanced muscle, even more imposing than someone like Jax. His body seems compressed and incredibly solid, a result of enduring Krexx's intense gravity training. He looks like he could shatter stone with a glare.
Demeanor: Likely gruff, stoic, a being of few words, letting his overwhelming power speak for him. Embodies raw, controlled force.
VITA Ability: "Kinetic Compression & Release"
Offensively, he channels VITA to create intense internal pressure in his limbs, releasing it in explosive, concussive strikes with his fists or feet.
Can also project this as a disorienting, forceful shout/roar.
Passively, his body is incredibly dense and resistant to blunt force trauma ("Iron Skin").
Name: Shift (Female)
Physique: Surprisingly slender and agile, especially given the gravity training. Her strength is wiry and coiled, like a panther. Her movements are fluid, almost preternaturally graceful, and she possesses an unsettling intensity in her eyes.
Demeanor: Perhaps quiet, observant, with a contained energy. She's all about controlled motion and exploiting angles.
VITA Ability: "Gravitic Agility & Adhesion"
Manipulates her personal interaction with local gravitational fields on a micro-scale.
Allows her to "lighten" herself for enhanced leaps, scale vertical surfaces, or briefly run on ceilings by creating temporary points of "adhesion."
Can redirect or dissipate impact forces when landing or struck, making her more resilient than her build suggests. Her movements are unpredictable in combat.
Name: Anchor (Female)
Physique: Not overly large in terms of bulk, but possesses an undeniable solidity and a rooted, unmovable quality. Her frame might be wide and exceptionally stable. She carries herself with immense composure and an aura of steadfastness.
Demeanor: Calm, resolute, perhaps even stoic. The immovable object of the Maw Wardens.
VITA Ability: "Localized Gravitic Anchoring & Inertial Mass Increase"
Can radically increase her own effective mass and inertia temporarily, becoming almost immovable by exerting intense localized gravitational force downwards.
Can withstand incredible impacts without being budged.
Can channel this increased inertial mass into devastatingly powerful (though not necessarily fast) strikes, like shoulder charges.
Name: Javelin (Female)
Physique: Tall (e.g., 6'1"-6'2"), powerfully built with a lean, athletic frame honed for explosive power and precision. Broad shoulders, strong core, long limbs, resembling a top-tier Olympic thrower fused with a warrior. Her gaze is focused, almost hawk-like, and her presence is formidable.
Demeanor: Intensely focused, precise, perhaps a bit aloof or single-minded. She's a living weapon, and likely carries herself that way.
VITA Ability: "Inertial Projection & Enhanced Ballistic Cognition"
Channels her body's VITA-enhanced inertia into explosive kinetic energy for her throws, launching objects (rocks, scrap, specialized javelins) with hyper-velocity and devastating force.
Can also imbue her melee strikes with this inertial force.
Possesses supernatural accuracy and battlefield awareness due to her VITA-enhanced cognition, allowing her to calculate trajectories and predict target movement instinctively.
Name: Echo (Female)
Physique: Lean, and can appear almost unnervingly still at times, contrasting with her highly active internal VITA senses. Her eyes might seem to look through things rather than just at them, hinting at her unique perception. She carries an aura of focused, internal energy.
Demeanor: Likely very calm, composed, perhaps somewhat detached or introverted due to the constant sensory input from her VITA-sense. She's more of a subtle controller than a physical dominator.
VITA Abilities:
"VITA-Resonance Detection & Focused Gravitic Harmonics": Extremely sensitive to VITA energy signatures in her environment and others. Can use focused gravitic pulses attuned to a target's VITA frequency to cause internal pain, disrupt VITA abilities, or disorient (Resonance Disruption). Potentially has a rare VITA-leeching capability.
"VITA-Resonance Dampening & Kinetic Absorption": Can create localized dampening fields to nullify or absorb the momentum of incoming moderate-speed projectiles or physical strikes.
Krexx - Abilities & Ambitions:
Primary VITA Ability Confirmed: Gravity Control ("Dominion Aura" manifestation).
He can manipulate local gravitational fields with considerable force and precision.
Demonstrated uses: Levitation of heavy objects (boulders, tree trunks), increasing localized gravity for training, and forcibly compressing/siphoning VITROL from Arcstones directly into his K-Organ.
Direct VITROL Absorption: Krexx can absorb refined VITROL from Arcstones directly into his K-Organ without needing an incision, using his gravity power to extract it. This highlights his advanced VITA mastery.
Rune Arcstone Interaction:
Possesses a unique, milky-white Rune Arcstone.
Recognizes it contains complex VITA information or "schematics" rather than just raw power.
Absorbs a minuscule amount, gaining a very subtle sensory enhancement (sharpened perception of ambient gravitic fields). Sees it as a "key" for future VITA direction/reconfiguration.
Increased Ambition & Control: The successful VITROL experiments and his ability to utilize them further solidify his control and fuel his ambition to elevate "Heaven" under his tyrannical rule. He sees Arcstones/VITROL as "manna" for his new world order.
Arcstone & VITA Energy Lore Deepened:
VITROL (Volatized Isotopic Tachyonic Resonance Oscillation Lattice): Solidified as the name for the pure, refined VITA energy essence from Arcstones.
K-Organ Development as Key:
Individuals with highly developed K-Organs and disciplined minds (Krexx, Elara) can best utilize pure VITROL for stable enhancement and replenishment.
Those with cruder VITA gifts/less refined K-Organs (Jax) experience volatile, temporary power surges with severe backlash from ingesting raw Arcstone material.
Arcstone Color/Potency Correlation (Scylla's Research):
Lighter Blue/Grey: Less refined, more volatile VITA (quick, raw bursts, high stress).
Deeper Luminous Blue: Richer, purer, more stable VITROL (ideal for Elara's refinement).
Black Arcstones (Hypothetical/Rare): Found near intense VITA creature activity. Believed to be super-saturated with raw/tainted VITA, holding immense power but also extreme danger. Untested.
Rune Arcstones: Unique Arcstones containing VITA energy patterns that direct or reconfigure VITA pathways or abilities, rather than just providing raw power. They are "keys" or "schematics."
Potential for K-Organ Refinement: Scylla and Elara theorize that sustained, controlled exposure to refined VITROL (possibly through micro-doses) might allow individuals with cruder VITA gifts (like Anna or Jax) to gradually refine their K-Organs and VITA pathways, leading to more control and efficiency over time, though this is a slow and risky process.
III. The Maw Wardens (Krexx's Elite Guard - formerly "Grav-Maw Wardens"):
Formal Name: Simply "Maw Wardens" or "The Maw."
Training Method: Krexx uses his gravity control powers to subject them to extreme physical and VITA-related stress, brutally honing their abilities and loyalty.
