[[folder:The Eternity Core]]

The Eternity Core (first introduced [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/904477912/5016410938 here]]) is the Core of the immortality spell on Eternus that has long since become self-aware.

----
* ApologeticAttacker: It ''wanted'' Rainbow Dash to kill it [[MercyKill and end Eternus' suffering]], but its programming meant it ''had'' to defend itself no matter how much it wanted to let her do so.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: It realized that its existence was trapping Eternus in a cycle of suffering, and ''wanted'' to die (as it was the only way the spell could end), but its programming meant it couldn't destroy itself. As such, Rainbow Dash had to be the one to [[MercyKill pull the trigger]].

Here is a list of characters from Eternus, a hidden kingdom populated by immortals that eventually fell due to its stagnancy and the residents' [[WhoWantsToLiveForever extreme world-weariness]].\\\

* CessationOfExistence: The entire kingdom is convinced that there is no afterlife and if they die, they cease to exist. This fuels their MortalityPhobia and unwillingness to die, no matter how miserable they are. Fortunately, {{Subverted}}, as that's not how things work in the Codex'Verse.
* CompleteImmortality: The entire civilization was completely unable to die due to a spell they placed on themselves, so long as the Eternity Core remained intact. Unfortunately, this combined with their collective choices turned this into more of a curse than a blessing.
* MortalityPhobia: The civilization had a collective fear of death to the degree of making themselves immortal and avoiding the outside world and anything that might kill them. This turned their existence into a self-imposed FateWorseThanDeath in which they were miserable and wanted to die, but were too terrified to end the spell and pass on. Part of this was the Undying King's belief (untrue) [[CessationOfExistence that there is no afterlife]] which he convinced his people of.
* ViciousCycle: By making themselves immortal and sealing themselves off from the outside world, the people of Eternus doomed themselves to a self-destructive cycle that lasted for thousands of years -- having lived for that long with no end in sight, everyone became utterly miserable to the point of truly wanting to die. However, because they feared dying so much, they would avoid anything that could potentially kill them, feeding into their misery and perpetuating the cycle. Being ruled by the Undying King, who in fearing death became a tyrant who oppressed his people. It's not until after Rainbow Dash/Fidelitas and Moon Ray/Canticum arrive that both Eternus and the core of the immortality spell is finally destroyed, fulfilling its people's collective wish to pass on.
