Meeting the Incarnates!
Let’s meet the Incarnates and see why and how they were marked by the void!
Nizari
The Nizari uses the shadows to make his enemies bleed, blind, and burn. This shadow artist steals initiative to boost his own power and manipulates initiative to make his team stronger!
Nizari is an Incarnate that started his life as a human but trained so hard that he needed to be cybernetically restored. His arms and eyes gave up therefore Nizari needed cybernetics to boost his power to never seen before heights. This changed the way Nizari fought his battles and how he managed to stay in the shadows for so long. Nizari witnessed his friends and families get obliterated and his home destroyed, he needed to survive to get revenge on the Titan who caused the pain upon him. Nizari has a grudge against the Titan because the Titan attacked Nizari’s home ship. Nizari tried facing him but couldn’t find the strength to beat him. Therefore Nizari hid under the shadowy gate where the Titan doesn’t venture, this allowed Nizari to grow in strength to even the fight out and potentiality beat the Titan. In an attempt to survive Nizari turned feral like, he grew stronger by getting more calculated and precise to finish his enemies quickly and efficiently. The only way Nizari saw he had a chance vs the Titan was to modify his body and even then until he trained to be the assassin he grew to be it was a challenge he was yet to face.

The Titan uses his brute force to make his enemies bleeds and burns. If you aren’t on his level the titan will move the terrain and look you in the eye before pummeling you.
The Titan is an incarnate who thinks his very existence was from the energy of the Earth but is some ways he wasn’t far off as the birth of a Titan is the Titan rises from the lava of great volcanic eruptions. The Titan burns from the core of his body which turns into cooled lava on his body creating a sturdy, durable shield from inside of his body. The Titan wields a massive double-headed hammer which carries rare Earth magnets and it houses an incredibly dense powerful juggernaut stone. The once honourable Titan was shunned by his people after he was tricked into using the powerful stone beyond his capabilities. All the suppressed rage was amplified to an amount unseen by the Titans and he destroyed everything his people built and loved. The Titan wanders the planet in rage of the creators who shunned and abandoned him.

Archon
The Archon is a living energy source who causes rifts to open up and changes the terrain like it’s nothing! The Archon exists across multiple planes of reality and can shape reality in an instant. The Archon was created by an unchecked AI and is untethered from the constraints of machinery. The Archon has built-in aspects of the creators and part of the void in it which they are scared of. To maintain her connection to humanity she challenges the creator but its motives are unclear as to why it challenges the creator. You know you have a serious weapon when even the creators fear it! Appreciating the occasional convenience of a corporeal body, the Archon prefers binding and coalescing around physical objects, especially bits of abandoned machinery or anything that can act as a conduit. The Archon aspects of any Incarnate will likely mould-to and emulate the organic parts of their body.
