Order of the Chyenn Holy Vanguard (newest faction in "Everdawn", lore in comments)

That design goes HARD, i love the helmet

Thanks! Was working on the Vulchran when I remembered seeing the Supersoldaten's humanoid helm, I was obsessed and wanted to do something similar. Btw would you be fine with me doing a take on the Coritan some time, designing them as if they would be in "Everdawn"? I think it be fun, and practice, though I definitely would want lore, so I know how stay faithful to their og design ofc👍

Heres Valos (since hes a corrupted one, his skin is much more paler and his white accents turned purple)

and uhhhh heres Sala.

🤑

Heres Tronus, one of the Royals (note, this is a really old drawing of him and i might do a redesign soon. His armor is dark because of the Dark Matter he wields. The usual color of the armor is what Valos and Thrull wears)

I see, a general color scheme of deep gray, white and some purple as an accent color, colors I can work with!

Well, not purple

Reason why Thrull has a purple cape is because that isnt is, it belonged to the one who sliced off his forearm. Coritans can regenerate limbs and organs, but the material used for cutting off Thrulls arm was something that negated the healing factor which left Thrull without his forearm. And yes, Thrull pretty much fought this dude one handed and killed him, which he wears his cape. Why Valos has purple is due to the corruption which is something Nugget made

Oh I see! Got it

Coritans usually have white glowing accents for their armor while the armor metal itself is deep greys of various hues depending on the amount of material used for the armor

Heres Thrulls Armor (note, Thrull lost his forearm long ago so he has a gauntlet in place of it)

Awesome, thanks!

Currently so far, Thrull is the strongest living Non Royal Coritan and since Coritans cant die of old age, they can just keep getting stronger. Thrull currently is in his 40s in Coritan Terms, which is a LONG time for a Coritan as the bodies of Coritans age extremely slow

Sure!

The Coritans are a race of strong beings whom unlike most species, Coritans do not have hearts. Instead of hearts, they have Cores, glowing orbs that contain their essence. The Coritan Race lived on a old planet of Corrella, which they made a entire empire and used said empire to help other planets from slavery, famines, plagues, etc. In design, Coritans usually wear armor and have widely different helmets similer to how diverse the Predator Masks are from the Predator Movies. The Helmets of Coritans usually are in referance to a animal or deity from their home planet. In biology, males are usually 6-8 feet tall while females are 5-7 feet tall. Both genders have grey skin and white glowing eyes, however Males tend to have more darker grey skin while females have lighter grey skin. For their stats, they are INCREDIBLY strong and agile, which a average male adult could lift a entire tank with one hand with low effort. They also get stronger and more durable with age, which can lead to a single Coritan being a terrifying warrior if trained correctly. The Coritan Race also has a unqiue ability, they can copy abilities and add them to their moveset. Theres also a few subspecies of the Coritan Race such as the Royals, whom they are the leaders of the race and are more superior then their normal counterparts. The Royals are usually a bit bigger then the normal species and have more increased stats. Theres also another sub species known as the Berserker Variant which is a extremely rare Royal variant that appears every 500 Royal Births. This variant is most regonnizable with natural born markings around its body like tattoos, and when it grows up, its much more stronger then the rest of its kind, being the absolute peak of Coritan Evolution.

The Chyenn are the beast of many factions, but the oldest species, or, the remnants. Unlike the Kazankhat, who are an experiment of creating artificial life by the ancient races, the Chyenn are one of those ancients from before and during the Armageddon War. The Chyenn were a collective Religious race who were often the frontline against the Shrouded that plagued the cosmos, at their absolute prime, the Chyenn forged solar system wide armies blessed with the living matter of celestials. Yet like most of the ancients, their time of endless might would reach the end during the Armageddon War. For those who do not (literally everyone) the Armageddon War was a multi-galactic struggle between the 12 Ancient races, and Shrouded, which to be quite frank, was caused by the ancients themselves, on accident. The shrouded realm was a new and uncertain place, A place that intrigued the near god like races that were the ancients, to go deeper and explore, hoping to evolve their progress to ascension. However, most should know the poking around the Shrouded realm is like slapping a Nuclear weapon with a rock. And as the Ancients force opened new shrouded rifts, they were only creating more gateways, eventually it came tumbling down, the probing awoken two powerful Shroud Beasts, Demogros, and Akira. Not too happy that their home was being invaded by a bunch of egotistical mortals (though, Demogros and Skies weren't any better themselves) , they decided to bite back, in mere months, the cosmos was slowly being engulfed in Shrouded, galaxies slowly grounded down into nothing but tomb worlds and void stars. The ancients realised they may have done a little oopsie, and unless they wanted early universe decay, they should probably do something about.

Neat

So they did, the 12 powerful races came together, putting their greatest minds to create a really big bandaid for this cosmic problem, to their dismay, shooting wasn't the answer, though it did help a little, they best way to fix this was to close the rifts the ancients created in the first place. So the rushed to their construct worlds to work on a ship that could do just that, they created the "Vel" ship, a ring shaped ominous craft that held a celestial reactor in its center, this basically acted a reality glue, being able close the rifts but folding space time and fusing it shut with celestial energy. It worked, but not before many galaxies (like 16 including a part of the Milkyway) were near factory reset, and the problem wasn't even done yet. Akira left, sure, only because she doesn't fight, she much prefers mentally destroying her foes, but Demogros is a silly guy, he wasn't ready to go home,and so the ancients collected together one last time to create one their final works, "The Great Cage" a mega prison designed to lock Demogros away, knowing they can't kill him. With the Universe saved and only 8 Galaxies completely whipped out ( job well done guys) they create their final machine, "The Astral Thrones" moon side constructs that allowed the ancients to ascend to the Astral plane, leaving behind the universe and their technology for the next generation of young races.

What does this have to do with the Order of the Chyenn Holy Vanguard? Well you know how the shrouded got sealed up with magic space glue? While that worked for the most part, the Void is unpredictable, and can tear new rifts anywhere, and now with the Great Cage broken, the shrouded are coming back for round 2. Sure the shrouded are endlessly less powerful than before, but they are still space demons. The Chyenn Vanguard however come from one of the rifts, being a forgotten holy legion stuck in the shrouded realm for millions of years, and are not to happy seeing the shrouded start to come back, even if it is very slowly. The Chyenn Vanguard's goal is to bring an end to the shrouded, this time slightly more permanent, there is something I forgot to mention earlier, was that before the ancients closed the last rift, they kindly dropped a Galaxy sized bomb in the shrouded realm as a farewell gift, they did this to reduced void mass in the shrouded realm, because that is what cause random rifts to split open, its a way for void to discharge built up energy. The Vanguard want to do that again but much more, they want galaxy bomb the shrouded so hard, the heat death of the Universe will happen before another rift opens up. So the Chyenn aren't the bad guys despite their uncanny look, they simply are to do a job, find their ancient construct worlds, build their forces, relearn the blueprints to the galaxy bomb, and unleash holy extermination on the shrouded.

Over all, the Chyenn could care all the less about the wars between the young species (specifically the humans and Arkiah) , they care about the shrouded, so if one of the young species is fighting a shroud horde, they might join the fight if they so happen to be in close proximity (side fact: the Vulchran had their home world destroyed by the shrouded and so they absolutely hate them, so the Chyenn fuel that hate and use the Vulchran as spare troops and cannon fodder to clean up the shroud hordes) Simply put, the Chyenn Vanguard's Warrior Golems are many doomslayers blessed by KY universe's version of heaven, and here for business. That's about all, any questions? Would you feel fear ( like a guardsman seeing a spacemarine, inspiring, but terrifying) or pure hope seeing a small squad of these guys join the battle?
