#ectonurite

Ig’Liff is timid by nature. She’s used to be ignored or going unnoticed by others. Though kind-hearted and selfless, she can be surprisingly competitive when it comes to magic—her forte. At her father’s command, Ig’Liff has spent most of her life in the realm of Legerdomain, where she received an extensive magical education—an education she has further enhanced and refined on her own. This obsession dedication to magical learning has made her one of the most powerful mages around. Despite this, Ig’Liff is not used to fighting opponents who do not use magic, and she often tends to underestimate them (not really knowing what to expect from them). She also almost never fights like a normal ectonurite would, as she’s used to use magic rather than her own deadly body. But she is an intelligent individual, and she learns quickly.

As noted on the character sheet, Ig’Liff is not a pure-blooded ectonurite; if she were, she would not be able to use magic, since ectonurite lack mana. Ig’Liff is half faiectonurite, a subspecies of the ectonurite that evolved in the realm of Legerdomain. Due to the specific properties of the dimension, faiectonurites have developed mana pockets throughout their bodies, allowing them to passively absorb surrounding mana. This subspecies looks down on the ectonurite race, considering them beastly and ferocious—essentially the less evolved version of their own species. I’ll leave it to your imagination how a hybrid of the two races might have been perceived.

I had an idea for inverting Gwens whole shtick of being someone with excessive life force, and the only species to do that would be the ectonurite the only species in ben 10 to lack any life force. This continually spiraled as a joke in my mind that Zs'Skayr and Grandpa max are exes in a universe where this is true. Que the Justice League Dark: Apokolips War clip of max going "oh no it's my ex!" "You and Viktor? gross" "Do i look mad?" and Zs'Skayr winking.
