History Characters / Rift

Dragon of Death and the single greatest threat to Telara, Regulos wants nothing less than the total cessation of all existence. Called the 'Dragon of Extinction', he is last and mightiest of the Blood Storm and the most dangerous to the lives of those on Telara. Amongst the dragons, he alone was not imprisoned when they were first defeated over a thousand years ago. Instead, his physical form was outright destroyed, his spirit banished beyond the Ward into the void between the planes. For over a millennia, he has railed and screamed against the wall separating him and the world, until he was finally able to subvert the crown-prince of Mathosia; Aedraxis Mathos. The result of his corruption was a crack in the Ward and the creation of the rifts. If Regulos is able to succeed, he will unmake everything until the universe is oblivion. His followers, the Endless Court, delude themselves with fantasies of ruling the world, but their master will leave no world to rule. [[spoiler:His true form(ruler of the Plane of Death) is killed in Endless Eclipse rendering him DeaderThanDead.]]

Dragon of Life, Greenscale personifies the phrase "survival of the fittest". To his mind, civilization is the subversion of nature, which should always be expressed in its purest form - kill or be killed. The forests that grow under his power are filled with relentless predation and unstoppable wildlife, usually at the same time. Those who find themselves lost in his woods are often forced to become a feral beast themselves just to survive, until they can find themselves killing their own families without realizing it. His cult, the Aelfwar, is really only the noble house of the High Elves who support his cause to tear down all remnants of civilization. True to his nature, Greenscale cares nothing for his followers, but instead is only interested in creating a world choked by the deadliest of jungles and where living minute to minute is the greatest of accomplishments. [[spoiler:The first of the dragons to die(of course another much kinder Dragon of Life named Tasuil takes his place as avatar of the ruler of the Plane of Life).]]

** LightIsGood: The [[spoiler:second avatar of the ruler of the Plane of Life Tasuil not to mention the very being he's an avatar of]] on the other hand... [[spoiler:His body is white unlike Greenscale's which is green.]]

** Doesn't stop the ruler of the Plane of Air from [[spoiler:attempting to create a new avatar.]]

* LightIsNotGood: Greenscale's ideal of natural beauty is parasitic plants the size of a human head, murderous foliage, and survival by any means.

* Brainwashed: How she gains members for her cult.

* [[spoiler:TheUnishment: All imprisoning her did was give her an excellent fortress from which to exercise her MindControl.]]

* TheStrategist

* YouHaveFailedMe: Was devoured by Regulos upon her final failure at the River of Souls.

This is the character sheet for the MMORPG {{Rift}}.

* CareerKillers

* MeaningfulName: "Thanos" means "[[CareerKillers death]]."

* TheCaligula.

* SexyBack: So much so it's on the game's loading screen.

Uriel is a member of the unseen's higher ups, working directly with the faceless man. Her interests with the plane of death have led her to be at odds with her father, Rahn. [[{{Lesyay}} Good friends with Kira Thanos.]] [[spoiler:At the end of a protracted quest chain, you end up having to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity save her]] [[MoreThanMindControl from herself]] when she [[FaceHeelTurn almost goes over to the Endless Court]].]]

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: In [[BadFuture the Defiant start zone]], she's sided with Regulos and is now called "Shyla the Fallen."]]

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: He's also gone over to Regulos in Terminus, and is called "Frederic the Betrayer."]]

* StoryboardBody: See her image. She's a bahmi. It goes with the territory.

* ArchNemesis: To Asha Catari. The two went to school together and Asha's dialog says that she was always trying to prove herself better. When Asha refused to become Regulos' Herald, Alsbeth rushed to take her place.

* FemaleSuccessIsFamily: Zigzagged. Her family are renowned artisans. Dacia set out to be an adventurer instead, and earned them all the ''more'' honor for being related to her.

* BadassBaritone: And ''[[AudioErotica how]]''.

-->"We were chosen, not for our faith, but for our might. Our brilliance. Our ruthlessness."

!! Uriel Chuluun.

[[{{Lesyay}} Good friends with Kira Thanos.]] [[spoiler:At the end of a protracted quest chain, you end up having to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity save her]] [[MoreThanMindControl from herself]] when she [[FaceHeelTurn almost goes over to the Endless Court]].]]

* FlatCharacter: She really doesn't have ''anything'' going for her except her disdain for Rahn and her backstory in which she was the one who called for the Kelari exodus.

* AntiHero: Easily the most ruthless of the Defiants, which is fitting considering his past in the Rift Cults. Much of his dialog suggests (and some outright states) that he considers himself BeyondGoodAndEvil as long as the Dragons are defeated (Regulos and Akylios especially)
