This is best seen with the ancient but still functioning tech of the Aztanti, the ancient precursors of the Eldrid. While Eldrid tech as these on the surface look ancient and primitive, they are actually quite advanced if not much more than others due to being several millennia old. This look pretty much aligns with the Eldrid's philosophy with being one with nature rather than imposing on it.

!The Eldrid
A naturalistic order of observers and scientists, charged with the stewardship of the natural order of the cosmos. Long ago, the reach of the legendary Eldrid spanned entire galaxies -- but as the stars themselves have faded into darkness, so too has the might of this ancient faction. As all eyes turn to Solus, what remains of the Eldrid are grappling with their place in a darkening universe as they rally in defense of the Last Star.
-----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* AncestralWeapon: Within the Eldrid faction, well-constructed weapons are often passed down through a family lineage or to successors within an order, granting them legendary status in the fight to preserve order in the universe.
* InHarmonyWithNature: The main deal with the Eldrid. They believe in the natural order of the universe and prefer harmonizing with the universal laws rather than altering them as seen with their abilities and technology. For this, they've been called space hippies by other factions. Although they may come off as such, that doesn't mean they're pacifists who'll just hug it out when pushed. They'll fight to preserve the natural order of the universe against those who would disrupt it.
* MagicFromScience: Although the Eldrid are a fantasy inspired faction that uses what by all means would be considered as magic, their "magic" is actually derived from utilizing more science grounded concepts.
* NatureHero: The Eldrid faction's Hat. Their number includes a [[MushroomMan sentient Fungus]] and a SpaceElf. However, their approach is more in line with a scientific approach to affiliation with nature and its balance, according to WordOfGod.
* OrganicTechnology: In line with the Eldrid's philosophy, many of them use technology that's interwoven with nature. One example of this are the massive Eliim trees that are bio-engineered to be organic knowledge repositories capable of storing massive amounts of data, which only the Eldrid have the technology or ability to retrieve.
* {{Precursors}}: The Eldrid homeworld Ekkunar was originally settled by a group of beings known as the Aztanti, who eventually spread out across the universe. The Aztanti are believed to be the seed race which eventually evolved into several core races of the Eldrid, a notion scholars generally agree on. Aztanti relics can still be seen stretching across the surfaces of a few of the remaining worlds, especially on Ekkunar and the icy moon of Nylo, Bliss.
* ProudScholarRace: The Eldrid faction value the natural universe and dedicate great deals of time and resources into observing, preserving, and cataloging all that they find. Although they are pretty much nature loving scientists in this regard, they are not beyond fighting against those who don't comply with their desires and views.
* ShatteredWorld: The planet Ekkunar, homeworld of the Eldrid is this. Some cataclysm fractured the planet several thousand years ago. While still basically spherical, huge geological chunks of the planet are separated from one another, exposing the molten core of Ekkunar. The brightest scientists in the remaining universe are still trying to ascertain why the planet hasn’t flown apart or settled back in on itself. The best guesses still fall back to near mysticism, citing the universe-law-bending Varelsi or some arcane machinery of Ekkuni Dwarves.
* SpaceElves: The core race of the Eldrid faction, the Aelfrin are this. They resemble a typical fantasy elf race being that they are tall, agile, LongLived, prefer bows and knives, and are fervent protectors of the natural order of the universe.

[[folder:Alani]]
A member of the Eldrid faction who was raised as a healer, but forced to be a warrior, and is all that remains of her order after Rendain's Jennerit Imperium stole the oceans from her world. As a warrior from a planet with vast seas, Alani's attacks and abilities revolve around her power to control water to dish out pain, or heal her fellow Battleborn.
She's [[https://battleborn.com/en/news/view/en-the-vision-for-battleborn-post-launch-content/ the first of the five new free heroes]] announced to be released post launch of the game.

* BareYourMidriff: Her promotional artwork depicts her in an outfit that bares her midriff as well as her secondary gills.
* CombatMedic: Originally raised as a healer but forced to become a warrior. She in particular uses water to heal.
* FishPerson: Her promotional artwork shows that she's a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe with visible gills on the sides of her neck and abdomen.
* FlowerInHerHair: Her promotional artwork depicts her wearing flowers in her hair, one in each side.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her promotional artwork depicts her as such.
* MakingASplash: She uses water to either attack or heal.

[[folder:Boldur]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/boldur.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToddHaberkorn
Boldur the Unbearable is a stubborn, axe-wielding native of Ekkunar who has survived the last two millennia of interruptions to his quiet forest life through sheer stubbornness and the aid of the civilian militia he leads called the Woodsworn. Tough as a gnarled root, the Ekkuni dwarf carries only a rune-forged axe and shield into battle against any foe who dares land their dropship in his front yard.
Boldur is an Eldrid Defender. He is unlocked as a playable character upon reaching Command Rank 26 or by completing '''The Experiment''' mission.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: Boldur deals slow, powerful melee strikes with his Runic Axe.
* ElementalHair: He has tree-like hair which is best shown by his beard and the stump at the back of his head.
* GoingCommando: He doesn't wear any underwear. Thankfully, his privates are pixelated whenever this fact is highlighted.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: While his axe is tossed away, Boldur will beat opponents up with his fists (and technically a bit of ShieldBash too since one of his arms is wearing one). With the Stunning Blows augment, it can technically be better for him to be unarmed since the augment allows his basic attacks to always slow their target, but only while he's not using his axe.
* LoinCloth: Wears this as part of his apparel and unfortunately that's all there is as Boldur doesn't wear anything else underneath it.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: An Ekkuni Greatshield to be specific.
* MightyGlacier: Boldur possesses exceptional health and power to compensate for his lack of speed or range.
* {{Mooning}}: For his "Rear Guard" taunt, he uplifts his loincloth and gleefully does this. Thankfully, his completely bare behind is pixelated.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: A taciturn, stubborn fellow with a wicked cool beard who goes into combat with robots and magic users with just an axe and shield. Just about the only thing about him that's not Dwarf-standard is that he's a nature-attuned character rather than one with the typical industry-feel of Dwarves.
* {{Pixellation}}: His privates like his naked butt are thankfully pixelated whenever they appear such as in his "Rear Guard" taunt.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: The Axe Return augment allows Boldur's axe to immediately return to his hand if Axe Toss fails to strike an enemy.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: At least over two millennia old.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Boldur's Axe Toss ability.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Boldur walks around without a shirt.
* WeirdBeard: His beard is pretty much a bunch of tree branches.
* WildHair: He has wild bark and branch-like hair.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has blue hair.

[[folder:Kelvin]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kelvin.png]]
At first glance, Kelvin appears to be a hulking ice golem, but is in fact an entire microorganism civilization that, together, form a single sentient being that smashes, chomps and freezes its enemies for the survival of the species. Rescued by Miko, Kelvin now fights for the Eldrid to preserve what's left of the cosmos.
Kelvin is an Eldrid Defender. He is unlocked as a playable character upon reaching Command Rank 18 or by winning 5 matches as an Eldrid character.
----
* AndShowItToYou: His "Heart of Ice" taunt has him pull out his eponymous glowing heart out from his mouth. This doesn't bother him and he simply gulps his heart back in.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: With his huge skull and even bigger jaw making up a good portion of his body, he's pretty much a walking maw with limbs.
* ColorCodedElements: ZigZagged - Kelvin's colours are pretty mixed between brown, blue, cyan, pale green, and a bit of orange rather than predominantly blue, white or cyan.
* DemBones: Kelvin's golem form basically resembles a large walking skeleton that has an even larger skull with a prominent underbite, protruding overall out from a huge chunk of ice and covered in various other parts of his skeletal frame in smaller amounts of ice.
* EatingTheEnemy: He can Chomp his enemies and gain a permanent health upgrade if he kills them with it.
* FashionableAsymmetry: His right skeletal forearm is encased in larger amounts of ice than his left one. Same goes for his left leg which is encased in more than his right one.
* FloweryElizabethanEnglish: Despite his appearance, Kelvin tends to talk like this.
* GeoEffects: Can erect an Ice Wall to enemies upon creation and block movement thereafter.
* HiveMind: Kelvin is an ice golem with a single consciousness emerging from a colony of extremophilic microorganisms.
* HyperactiveMetabolism: His Chomp ability normally gives him permanent health when he kills enemies. It however can be augmented with Mastication Restoration so that a portion of the damage dealt by Chomp is returned to Kelvin as health.
* AnIcePerson: Has a number of ice based abilities.
* MeaningfulName: His name is Kelvin and his abilities are ice based.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sometimes when he defeats an enemy Miko, he'll be greatly remorseful at killing his first friend.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A giant skeletal ice golem that's actually a colony of extremophilic microorganisms.
* OddFriendship: With Miko who's a ninja MushroomMan. Might have to do with Miko being the last surviving bud of a planet-spanning fungal colony, something that Kelvin being actually [[TheWormThatWalks an entire microorganism civilization]] with [[HiveMind a single consciousness]] could relate with to a degree.
* {{Snowlem}}: A large skeletal ice golem.
* SuperSmoke: Kelvin's Sublimate ability allows him to become a cloud of frigid air for a brief time.
* TheWormThatWalks: Kelvin is actually an entire, sentient microorganism civilization that takes the shape of an ice golem.

[[folder:Mellka]]
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melka.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrinaPalencia
The Eldrid tend to be scientific-minded and peaceful folks, in tune with the natural order of things. Mellka apparently missed the memo at the last Eldrid meeting. Born in space, Mellka Hyenyota developed an early hunger for solid ground, and found a clear calling in special operations, even joining with the Eldrid group called The Vigilant. While serving with The Vigilant, she developed close ties with an elite Peacekeeper operative named Trevor Ghalt. While proficient at several combat styles, Mellka prefers some of the more exotic Eldrid weaponry including an Eldrid Bio-Glaive, a biologically-active Eldrid gauntlet now permanently fused with her left hand which reshapes itself based on her neural prompting.
Melka is an Eldrid Attacker. She is unlocked as a playable character upon reaching Command Rank 34 or by by completing '''The Heliophage''' mission.
----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: An Eldrid gauntlet permanently fused with her left hand.
* DelinquentHair: Sports a mohawk which fits her as a more modern punk rock character within an otherwise fantasy themed faction.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Courtesy of the Eldrid gauntlet fused on her which not only covers her entire left forearm but also has visible parts going up the rest of her arm and shoulder to the left side of her neck. Her left pupil is green as opposed to the color of her right one thanks to the gauntlet's fusion as well.
* GlassCannon: Mellka has good speed, range, and power to offset her low health.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A couple of her lore challenges reveal that Mellka is this. Her father was a Penarch-born human researcher, and her mother was an Aelfrin refugee from Eshteni. Furthermore, this mixed lineage is suspected to be reason her gauntlet permanently bonded to her.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Uses a machine pistol and futuristic clothing whereas the rest of the Eldrid dress more like stock fantasy characters.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Mellka's right eye is amber but her left's green with a pupil like a snake's certainly because of the Eldrid gauntlet that is fused to her hand on the same side.
* OneBulletClips: Like ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands2}}'''s Tediore guns, Mellka's machine pistol gives you reason to not reload immediately like the trope would encourage because reloading causes her to release a damaging explosion at the same time. Unlike Tediore guns, the explosion actually does more damage from the magazine being more exhausted, encouraging the player to actively reload at the beginning combat.
* PointyEars: Has these which she inherited from her mother.
* PoisonedWeapons: A poisoned machine pistol.
* PoisonousPerson: Several of her attacks deal envenomed damage over time.
* SkunkStripe: Has a white streak in the foremost part of her mohawk.
* SpaceElf: More specifically she's a Space half-elf due to being the offspring of a human and an Aelfrin as her lore challenges reveal. Thanks to her upbringing though, she's more space than elf unlike the rest of the more typically fantasy inspired Eldrid.

[[folder:Miko]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miko_7.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Julie Mayfield
The last surviving bud of a planet-spanning fungal colony, the otherworldly Miko is regarded as a capable "combat botanist," healing and protecting its allies while hurling poison-tipped kunai at pretty much everything else.
Miko is an Eldrid Supporter. He is one of the initial playable characters available from the start.
----
* AmbiguousGender: Although Miko's technically a sentient fungus and therefore doesn't have a gender, that hasn't stop other characters from getting confused on what gender and such they should identify Miko as.
* CombatMedic: Possesses multiple skills to heal itself and its allies.
* {{Cyclops}}: Has a single eye that's usually obscured by Miko's mushroom cap.
* EyeObscuringHat: Miko's mushroom cap typically obscures its single eye.
* LastOfItsKind: Miko's backstory as the last member of a planet-wide fungal colony.
* MushroomMan: A sentient Mushroom creature.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A ninja MushroomMan.
* NiceHat: Its mushroom cap resembles a typical Japanese ''kasa'' and can even be thrown.
* NoBiologicalSex: Due to being a sentient fungus, Miko has no biological sex in the same sense as animals and above have.
* OddFriendship: With Kelvin who's a skeletal ice golem. Might have to do with Kelvin being actually [[TheWormThatWalks an entire microorganism civilization]] with [[HiveMind a single consciousness]], something that Miko as the last surviving bud of a planet-spanning fungal colony could relate with to a degree.
* PronounTrouble: Being a sentient fungus, Miko has no biological sex. As a result of this, other characters tend to have trouble on what pronouns they should use to refer Miko as, whether to refer Miko as a "he", a "she", or an "it".
* StockNinjaWeaponry: Poison-tipped kunai that deal damage over time.
** PoisonedWeapons
* WeaponizedHeadgear: In Miko's Fungus Among Us ability, after hurling its mushroom cap, the cap normally grows into a separate mushroom that just spreads healing spores in an area to aid nearby allies. However when augmented with Vicious Strain, its spores can also deal damage to nearby enemies.

[[folder:Thorn]]
[[quoteright:295:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thorn.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CaitlinGlass
Teshka Elessamorn -- nicknamed "Thorn" for her short temper -- was the last aelfrin child of her homeworld before it was darkened by the Varelsi. Thorn ranges the jungle-wilds of Ekkunar and beyond with her bow "Kreshek" and her battle-honed skill with advanced Eldrid "magic."
Thorn is an Eldrid Attacker. She is one of the initial playable characters available from the start.
----
* ArcherArchetype: Primarily uses a bow like typical fantasy elf in a sci-fi setting. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] by how she's not a cold and analytical sort - her title was earned by her short temper, many of her taunts have her yell growling war cries.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Two particular mutations augment Thorn's abilities so that enemies would suffer shield penetrating damage. The first, "Fiendish Curse" mutation makes it that any bonus damage to targets that Thorn curses will penetrate completely through their shields. The second, "Phasing Arrows" makes it that a portion of arrow damage penetrates through enemy shields. Both mutations are capable of being chosen together for combined effects.
* BlackMagic: Downplayed example, but nonetheless Thorn uses an ability named "Blight" and charging her bow attacks long enough will cause her to curse the enemy she strikes for 8 seconds with the next shot.
* ChargedAttack: Her arrows can be strung longer before firing for more damage and accuracy, up to a maximum. At this maximum, the arrow will also curse the target, making them take additional damage from her abilities and charged arrows.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: More like "Does Not Like ''Shoe''", since she only has one bare foot.
* FashionableAsymmetry: A twofer, she's asymmetrical both horizontally ''and'' vertically. Her right arm and left leg are covered by her armor, her left arm and right leg are not.
* FloralThemeNaming: Her unlockable PaletteSwap skins are all named after flowers/flowering plants such as Oleander and Orchid to name two.
* ForestRanger: She checks on the boxes for a typical forest elf with her weapon and adherence to nature except she's more wild jungle than peaceful forest.
* HairTriggerTemper: She easily gets angry. It's a trait that earned her nickname of Thorn.
* HealingFactor: Thorn carries no shield, relying instead on rapid health regeneration to survive in combat.
* JunglePrincess: Although looking like the typical fantasy forest elf at first, she's more of a wild jungle girl. It's best highlighted in moments where she growls like a savage animal.
* LifeDrain: The "Archer's Boon" augment makes it that when Volley deals health damage to an enemy, a portion of Thorn's health is restored.
* MultiShot: The Volley ability.
* NamedWeapons: Her Ekkuni longbow is named Kreshek.
* NoodlePeople: Thorn's limbs seem to have traded width for length. Her legs are ''twice'' the length of her torso.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Played with. Thorn resembles the Wood Elf archetype and she uses magic along with a longbow to encompass two common fantasy elf stereotypes, but her short temper keeps her from completely resembling the classic elven ArcherArchetype.
* PointyEars: Has these due to being an Aelfrin.
* RapunzelHair: Has long waist-length hair.
* SpaceElf: As one of the Aelfrin, a tall agile elf-like race, she's this.
* WeaponOfChoice: Kreshek, an Ekkuni longbow.

* OneBulletClips: Like ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands2}}'''s Tediore guns, Mellka's machine pistol gives you reason to not reload immediately like the trope would encourage because reloading causes her to release a damaging explosion at the same time. Unlike Tediore guns, the explosion actually does more damage from the magazine being more exhausted, encouraging the player to actively reload at the beginning combat.
* PointyEars: Has these which she inherited from her mother.
* PoisonedWeapons: A poisoned machine pistol.
* PoisonousPerson: Several of her attacks deal envenomed damage over time.
* SkunkStripe: Has a white streak in the foremost part of her mohawk.
* SpaceElf: More specifically she's a Space half-elf due to being the offspring of a human and an Aelfrin as her lore challenges reveal. Thanks to her upbringing though, she's more space than elf unlike the rest of the more typically fantasy inspired Eldrid.

[[folder:Miko]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miko_7.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Julie Mayfield
The last surviving bud of a planet-spanning fungal colony, the otherworldly Miko is regarded as a capable "combat botanist," healing and protecting its allies while hurling poison-tipped kunai at pretty much everything else.
Miko is an Eldrid Supporter. He is one of the initial playable characters available from the start.
----
* AmbiguousGender: Although Miko's technically a sentient fungus and therefore doesn't have a gender, that hasn't stop other characters from getting confused on what gender and such they should identify Miko as.
* CombatMedic: Possesses multiple skills to heal itself and its allies.
* {{Cyclops}}: Has a single eye that's usually obscured by Miko's mushroom cap.
* EyeObscuringHat: Miko's mushroom cap typically obscures its single eye.
* LastOfItsKind: Miko's backstory as the last member of a planet-wide fungal colony.
* MushroomMan: A sentient Mushroom creature.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A ninja MushroomMan.
* NiceHat: Its mushroom cap resembles a typical Japanese ''kasa'' and can even be thrown.
* NoBiologicalSex: Due to being a sentient fungus, Miko has no biological sex in the same sense as animals and above have.
* OddFriendship: With Kelvin who's a skeletal ice golem. Might have to do with Kelvin being actually [[TheWormThatWalks an entire microorganism civilization]] with [[HiveMind a single consciousness]], something that Miko as the last surviving bud of a planet-spanning fungal colony could relate with to a degree.
* PronounTrouble: Being a sentient fungus, Miko has no biological sex. As a result of this, other characters tend to have trouble on what pronouns they should use to refer Miko as, whether to refer Miko as a "he", a "she", or an "it".
* StockNinjaWeaponry: Poison-tipped kunai that deal damage over time.
** PoisonedWeapons
* WeaponizedHeadgear: In Miko's Fungus Among Us ability, after hurling its mushroom cap, the cap normally grows into a separate mushroom that just spreads healing spores in an area to aid nearby allies. However when augmented with Vicious Strain, its spores can also deal damage to nearby enemies.

[[folder:Thorn]]
[[quoteright:295:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thorn.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CaitlinGlass
Teshka Elessamorn -- nicknamed "Thorn" for her short temper -- was the last aelfrin child of her homeworld before it was darkened by the Varelsi. Thorn ranges the jungle-wilds of Ekkunar and beyond with her bow "Kreshek" and her battle-honed skill with advanced Eldrid "magic."
Thorn is an Eldrid Attacker. She is one of the initial playable characters available from the start.
----
* ArcherArchetype: Primarily uses a bow like typical fantasy elf in a sci-fi setting. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] by how she's not a cold and analytical sort - her title was earned by her short temper, many of her taunts have her yell growling war cries.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Two particular mutations augment Thorn's abilities so that enemies would suffer shield penetrating damage. The first, "Fiendish Curse" mutation makes it that any bonus damage to targets that Thorn curses will penetrate completely through their shields. The second, "Phasing Arrows" makes it that a portion of arrow damage penetrates through enemy shields. Both mutations are capable of being chosen together for combined effects.
* BlackMagic: Downplayed example, but nonetheless Thorn uses an ability named "Blight" and charging her bow attacks long enough will cause her to curse the enemy she strikes for 8 seconds with the next shot.
* ChargedAttack: Her arrows can be strung longer before firing for more damage and accuracy, up to a maximum. At this maximum, the arrow will also curse the target, making them take additional damage from her abilities and charged arrows.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: More like "Does Not Like ''Shoe''", since she only has one bare foot.
* FashionableAsymmetry: A twofer, she's asymmetrical both horizontally ''and'' vertically. Her right arm and left leg are covered by her armor, her left arm and right leg are not.
* FloralThemeNaming: Her unlockable PaletteSwap skins are all named after flowers/flowering plants such as Oleander and Orchid to name two.
* ForestRanger: She checks on the boxes for a typical forest elf with her weapon and adherence to nature except she's more wild jungle than peaceful forest.
* HairTriggerTemper: She easily gets angry. It's a trait that earned her nickname of Thorn.
* HealingFactor: Thorn carries no shield, relying instead on rapid health regeneration to survive in combat.
* JunglePrincess: Although looking like the typical fantasy forest elf at first, she's more of a wild jungle girl. It's best highlighted in moments where she growls like a savage animal.
* LifeDrain: The "Archer's Boon" augment makes it that when Volley deals health damage to an enemy, a portion of Thorn's health is restored.
* MultiShot: The Volley ability.
* NamedWeapons: Her Ekkuni longbow is named Kreshek.
* NoodlePeople: Thorn's limbs seem to have traded width for length. Her legs are ''twice'' the length of her torso.
* OurElvesAreBetter: Played with. Thorn resembles the Wood Elf archetype and she uses magic along with a longbow to encompass two common fantasy elf stereotypes, but her short temper keeps her from completely resembling the classic elven ArcherArchetype.
* PointyEars: Has these due to being an Aelfrin.
* RapunzelHair: Has long waist-length hair.
* SpaceElf: As one of the Aelfrin, a tall agile elf-like race, she's this.
* WeaponOfChoice: Kreshek, an Ekkuni longbow.
