Now let me introduce you to the stars of the show!

Asset 703

Created from Project Viall, 703 has been with the Mors her entire life. Trained from birth to be the most deadly weapon in the Realms. She is regarded as a demon of death and an unfeeling monster. It's the only life she's known, and she long since accepted that fact. She doesn't particularly care about the nature of her creation or the brutality of her job. She was created for a purpose, and it's the sole reason for her existence. It's not her place to think about things like life outside the Mors. Those were traitorous thoughts and pointless hopes.

Fres

Another of Project Viall's subjects, Fres was also raised in the Mors. Nearly as deadly as their partner 703, the two were feared. But as Fres was exposed to more of the Realms during their missions, they began to resent the life they had. All the pain and abuse fueled their anger. So they created a plan, escaping from the Mors in a blazing chaotic mess. From them on, they devoted themselves to fighting against the Mors. They wanted to see them burn in eternal damnation, unable to ever rise back from the smoldering pile they left them in.

Ronan "Rage" Airvix

Assigned to be 703's field handler and healer, Rage works for the Mors. He's very calm and patient, unless you disregard his healing expertise, then you'll see where the nickname Rage came from. He will adopt anyone left unattended for five minutes.

Dana Hueland

Dana is one of the hardest fighters against the Mors. A feisty woman and phenomenal fighter, she's intimidating to anyone that comes across her. She excels at close combat and piloting and is a certified BAMF, MILF, and top tier Bisexual.

Master Gerd

One of the highest ranked in the Mors, Master Gerd is a psychopath with a god complex. He abuses his power religiously, especially over 703. He is feared my nearly everyone in the Mors and he knows it. -1000/10 would drown violently.

Healer Asurr

The head of Project Viall, Healer Asurr is a bit of a mad scientist. They're only concern is their life long work of enhancing species, ultimately to create the superior lifeform. They would stick you in a cage and study you obsessively for months.

Now, because the Seven Realms are so expansive, I'm just including a few basics here (she says after having written way too much info and then hitting delete far too many times). If anyone shows an interest in knowing more about them, I'll do a post for each Realm, I'm planning to anyway at some point, but for now, enjoy the little snippets that tell you absolutely nothing about their importance to the plot!

Mirralia has the second largest population of the Seven Realms. With its variety of biomes and massive cities, it's one of the most sought after places to live. Full of some of the most rich and powerful flora and fauna, many resources for alchemy are found in the Realm. It also remains to be one of the only Realms dragons have still been spotted. Mirralia government positions are highly sought after and their military is one of the strongest of the Seven Realms.

Enkkon produces some of the best Agi (trained magic users) in the Seven Realms, with schools to match. With top schools in many specialties, it brings in species from every Realm, creating the most diverse population of any Realm. Far less rich in raw elemental, Enkkon is a quiet Realm, reliant on technology far more than the other Realms, but that doesn't make its native species any weaker than the other Realms.

Levekint has the largest population. While the cities are large and bubbling, the flora and fauna of the planet interacts with everything. It's not uncommon to see buildings with vines or trees growing out of the middle, or for a shop to have bird nests and other creatures wandering about indoors. Levekint taught healers make up ninety percent of the Seven Realms healers. It is the forefront of healing innovation, producing some of the most renowned and well known healing names in history.

Zj'ahju is the smallest Realm, with the smallest population to go with it. The harsh biome and oppressive heat make the Realm nearly inhabitable for non-native species. However, it has some of the most beautiful architecture of the Realms, specializing in metal and glass. Both are big exports for the Realm, and they produce nearly fifty percent of the Seven Realms building supplies. Weapons and jaw dropping pieces of glass art are other major exports.

Ketaawi is the second largest Realm, comprising of ninety percent water. Most of Ketaawi's native species can breathe underwater, or can hold their breath for long periods of time. The massive cities of Ketaawi are either floating on the water, able to move much like a boat, or beautiful domes underwater. Right after Enkkon, Ketaawi is one of the most technologically advanced Realms, with some of the best defenses and security to be found anywhere.

Rorrut is a mountainous planet, having the highest peaks and deepest caves in the Realms. With such conditions, it's also a major Realm for rare alchemy supplies, specifically minerals and powerful, giant creatures. The planet is constantly "growing," creating more mountains and caves to replace the ones mined. With some of the most dangerous creatures in the Seven Realms, the natives became natural fighters and survivalists. There are very few large cities, and the habitants mostly form small villages, keeping to themselves and protecting each other.

The largest of the Seven Realms, Aveilu is a gas planet. The natives of the Realm have built their cities on the many rings of the planet, which are made up of large floating island, with the largest cities being floating cities, completely fueled by energy to keep them in the sky. Most native species in the Realm have some form of flight capabilities. Aveilu is the top Realm in ship production and export, creating ninety percent of the Realms flying transportation. It is the only other Realm dragons have been spotted in.

Created from Project Viall, 703 has been with the Mors her entire life. Trained from birth to be the most deadly weapon in the Realms. It's the only life she's known, and she long since accepted that fact. However her partner, Fres, couldn't. Having far more loyalty to her partner, the two attempted to escape the Mors. They failed horribly, ending with the two getting separated. Fres was free, believing 703 had chosen the Mors over them, while 703 was still under the Mors control, believing Fres had abandoned her. The two ended up on opposite sides of the war, enemies.

Relationships

Master Gerd: As her main handler, 703 has a very controlling relationship with Master Gerd. She is expected to follow his orders without question. If she disobeys, he carries out her punishments. He is responsible for her training and has been with her since the beginning. 703 has a deep respect and fear of the man, but it’s one of her most long term, consistent relationships in her life. It’s how all assets are treated, right?

Healer Asurr: As her creator, 703 interacts a lot with Healer Asurr. They are constantly putting her through tests and experiments to tack and improve her abilities. 703 hates them. But like the good Asset she is, she keeps her mouth shut and followed their orders without a word.

Ronan “Rage” Airvix: Assigned to be her field handler and healer, Airvix hasn't been with 703 very long. He attaches to her very quickly, becoming protective, because it's his job and not because this poor girl has no parental figure in her life. 703 quite likes Airvix, not that she would ever admit it. He at least treats her like a person.

Fres: 703's partner and closest friend since birth, the two were inseparable. She loved Fres with everything and as long as they were together, she didn't care where they were. But Fres left, freed from the Mors in their escape attempt, leaving 703 behind. 703 determined no relationship was worth it after that. She was far better off alone, doing what she was created for.

That's pretty much all I got for today. Like I didn't ramble enough haha. Anyway! Trying out my new tag lists! If anyone wants to be added/subtracted, you can comment or DM me!

General Tag: @orions-quill @fractured-shield and @leahnardo-da-veggie

Name: Fres

Mors Asset Number: 702

Age: twenty-three

Birthdate: [Redacted]

Pronouns: They/Them

Species: Dragon, Tanimoriem (Genetic enhancements and experiments have occurred to alter this individual's biology)

Physical Description: Fres has biracial skin, leaning on the lighter side. Vitiligo covers their entire body and a beauty mark sits under their left eye. Coinciding scars cross over the same cheek, just touching their full lips. They have matte gold or sandy textured hair, often left natural or in braids. Their eyes are bright sunny gold, like a burning sun. Various other scars cover their body from other missions and punishments from the Mors. Fres has a tattoo, an old Tanimoriem tribe insignia, on the right right side of their chest. They are short for their species, coming in around 5'10 (or 177 cm). Even slender and lean, they still have a considerable amount of muscle and are very fit.

In their natural Tanimoriem form, Fres' skin color and vitiligo transfer into scales. Their hair remains the same, with short, triple set horns the same color as their scales/skin popping through. Matte gold small spikes run down their back, all the way to the tip of their tail. Triple style spikes end the tail, also matte gold. Their wings are very large, even for the species, coming in at an impressive 30'1 (or 9.17 m) wingspan. The arms of the wings are the same color as their scales/skin, while the membrane and protective scales are matte gold.

Skills/Abilities: elemental, multiple forms of combat, infiltration, negotiation, technically savvy, wilderness survival

Greatest Fear: the Mors

Personality Type: ENFP-A

Love Language: acts of service

Typical Outfit: Out on missions, a modified Mors suit is generally their go to, but outside of that, Fres is very stylish, having lots of outfits, accessories, and lots of pink things.

Method of Manipulation: gaslighting/silver tongue

Part of Project Viall, Fres has been with the Mors for most of their life. They were trained side by side with 703, their best friend. It's the only life they'd every known, but as they were exposed to more of the Realms, they began to resent it. They couldn't accept this life, this pain. So they came up with a plan to escape, and take 703 with them. There was no point in running away if 703 wouldn't come. The plan failed horribly, ending with the two getting separated. Fres was finally free from the Mors, but 703 was not with them. Fres was convinced 703 had chosen the Mors over them and a deep resentment and hatred began to build. The two were now on opposite sides of the war, vicious enemies.

Relationships

Master Gerd: As their main handler, Fres hated Master Gerd the most. Very controlling and abusive, they couldn't stand him. He was responsible for their training, so there was really no escaping him. Fres would like to see his head on a pike or his body dangling from the rafters.

Healer Asurr: As their creator, Fres interacted with Healer Asurr often. Constantly put through tests and experiments to track and improve their abilities. Fres hates them, but not nearly as much as Master Gerd. They would be almost as happy to see Healer Asurr's body broken.

Dana Hueland: One of the first people Fres met outside of the Mors, Dana introduced them to Oraniz. Since then, Dana and Fres have worked closely together. The older, feisty woman being more than happy to help Fres take down the Mors and extract revenge. Fres sees her as family, and the feeling is mutual.

703: Fres' partner and best friend since birth, the two were inseparable. They loved her with everything and as long as they were together, Fres knew everything would be alright. But when Fres ran from the Mors, freed in their escape attempt, 703 stayed behind in the end. Fres hated her for it. For choosing the Mors over them, and Fres vowed never to forgive her for it.

I hope that some of you enjoyed it, I know I love creating these little profiles!

EoWC Tag: N/A

The Mors were founded during the second Dragon War. Headed by Methsenn Uza, the organization was funded by illicit actives that had built up Methsenn's wealth insurmountably. Methsenn's original goal for the organization was to grow her wealth even more and better keep track of all her projects. To have some kind of font should any governments come knocking.

During her steady build of the Mors, Methsenn meet another ambitious woman. Lezin Tilire, who also had several illicit business ventures. Both became very close, eventually marrying and combining their businesses.

Lezin, however, had far bigger ambitions than Methsenn. The two had quite a strong hold on Mirralia's criminal world, but what if they expanded past Mirralia? What if they controlled the criminal world of all the Realms? What if they got their hands in the government? The military? Think of all the resources and power that would give them. Methsenn was hesitant, not wanting to destroy all they had built, but Lezin convinced her to try. They would start out slow, in familiar terrain, getting their people into the Mirralian government.

Slowly but surely, the Mors began infiltrating the Realms. The organization started to grow. They grew to be so large, many sub sectors were created, with people in place to oversee them.

But everything came to a crashing halt when Lezin died. Methsenn, old and unsure of how to continue their work, lead the Mors into chaos until she too died. Without a leader, there was no organization between the sectors, and communication was nonexistent. Many of the sectors started attacking each other, resulting in many of the Mors plans and assets being destroyed. The work was all but back to square one.

It wasn't until a half century later when one of Methsenn and Lezin's kin, Velthon Uza, came into the picture. Ambitious, cunning, and determined as their grandmothers, Velthon began the arduous task of reuniting all the Mors sectors. Using an iron fist, Velthon brought back organization to the Mors, putting in place better operations to prevent such chaos from happening again. From this, one of the Mors most vital positions was created, the GrandMaster.

The overseer of all Mors operations, the GrandMaster had the final say on any matter. They organized everything, and kept the organization working like a clock. Velthon, naturally, became the first GrandMaster. One of Velthon's first orders of business was to simplify the many, many sectors of the Mors, condensing everything down to four main sectors.

Realms Syndicates Sec (R.S.S.): this division is used to deflect unwanted attention towards “minor” criminal syndicates and for short term goals.

Realms Intelligence: this division is used to infiltrate other Realms intelligence agencies and military operations. It is primarily used for long term positions undercover and to keep tabs on all the Realms plans. It also keeps tabes on all Realms governments, especially any individuals that may become problematic or useful to the organization.

Realms Corporation Assets (R.C.A.): this division uses fonts for legitimate businesses for illicit activities. It brings in ninety percent of the Mors funding.

Mors Assets: this division is the font other organizations and Realms see. It deals with the organizations own “agents” and the more “public” assignments they carry out. This division includes Project Viall, among many others. Even though it is the "font" other organizations see, it is still very secretive.

As Velthon approached the end of their life, they put in place a new order; how the next GrandMaster would be chosen. Any Mors asset was eligible, though Masters and Overseers were really the only ones considered. The next GrandMaster would be hand selected by the current GrandMaster, trained by them on how to operate the Mors effectively. When the current GrandMaster was no longer able to carry out their duties, they would take over the position. Under this command of operations, the Mors have flourished.

Now, many years later, they have their hands in almost everything in the Seven Realms. From governments and military, to business and media, they have some kind of control in nearly everything. And their power only grows throughout this war.

The current war raging between the Seven Realms, was orchestrated by the Mors. Having several pieces in place and their hands deep in the Mirralian government, they began to execute their plan to dominate the Seven Realms. Through acts of terrorism and manipulation, the Seven Realms War began under the guise of nationalism, territorial, and defensive motives. The whole point of the war was really to weaken the Realms economically before the Mors officially moved to take over.

Despite the Mors believing they had everything in place to successfully pull off this war in only a few years, they underestimated one Realm. Enkkon.

When the war officially broke out, everyone expected Enkkon to be the first to fall. But they came fighting with the furry of a thousand suns, quickly becoming Mirralia's most serious rival. The Mors scrambled to understand how Enkkon could have such power, how their people hadn't noticed it. That's when it was revealed Enkkon had their own specialty organization, Oraniz, and they were more than aware of the Mors.

Oraniz had captured all of the Mors assets that had infiltrated their Realm, keeping up the guise with their own agents to keep the Mors from being suspicious. Even more than that, the Mors now had to worry Oraniz had agents in their own mists. They definitely do but I won't get into that.

What was supposed to be a quick war to diminish the Realms for easy take over, has now turned into one of the most bloody, gruesome, and devastating wars the Realms has ever seen. Because of this, the Mors put even more effort into one of their special projects. Project Viall.

Created after the second Dragon War and influenced by the creation of the Tanimoriem during the first Dragon War, the project's focus was on creating superior individuals with enhancements to fight in any future wars. To be perfect living weapons for the Mors to use as they wished.

Opil Viall founded the project. A mad man with a genius mind, his experiments were some of the most horrific things you could ever imagine. While his theories were solid, he didn't have much success in creating the enhanced individuals he wanted. Most of his test subjects were insane, bloodthirsty, and incapable of reasoning and thought or understand to follow orders correctly. Rabid beasts of freak nature. It wasn't until many years later when Healer Asurr became head of the project that significant headway was made and the Mors were finally able to start using the subjects in the war efforts effectively.

That pretty much wraps up what I've got for the Mors! I'm kind of sorry for the long post, but not really.
