History Characters / CodexEquusHumanRealms

* TheRival: An AlwaysSomeoneBetter one to Paradise Estate for much of its history.

* EthnicGod: She created Humankind on Equus and serve as their ultimate embodiment.

* IHaveNoSon: Being less forgiving than her peer King Equus, Eres disowns any Human who commit sins that are beyond the pale, such as to the point of threatening other Humans. She [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/996982791/5121673184 effectively]] told off King Pit Viper of Cassytharea that he's on his own after his crimes provoked the Dragons of the joint-kingdom to the point they burnt it down.

* StarKilling: During the 'Twilight of the Alicorns', Eres [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1025069037/5119099896 attempted]] to kill Morning Star and many of his allies and forces in a single stroke by having her Human subjects detonate a blue giant star right in his and his fleets' faces, with Eres making sure several coronal mass ejection's worth of plasma (converted into First Flame by her magic) hit him directly. Morning Star barely survived the subsequent supernova, while his allies and forces he brought to that battle (and the entire star system they were fighting in) didn't.

* IDidWhatIHaveToDo: How she justifies many of her questionable actions. She's not happy about doing any of them, but will do so if there are no alternatives.

* HumanityIsSuperior: Subverted. While Eres unconditionally loves Humanity and is noted to have a subconscious Human favouritism, she does not subscribe to Human supremacism, having been taught the folly of such beliefs by her Grand Primeval adoptive parents early on. She is also realistic about Humanity's limits, knowing full well there are many things that other races do better than Humanity as much as Humanity surpasses others in other areas.

* InvincibleVillain: For the Williams Siblings and their friends/allies, Matriarch Eres for much of their history presented a unique challenge in that they simply cannot hope to challenge her in direct confrontation even in her weakened state at the time, as she is a Preeminent-level god-empress who is TheAce in intellect and skills even by mortal/divine standards, possessed power, knowledge and experience accumulated over tens of millions of years, and had access to resources and manpower of an empire dwarfing theirs (at least initially) by far as well as powerful weapons and artifacts in her arsenal which few others have. The few notable times they were forced to fight against her were all effective HopelessBossFight where their goal isn't so much win but last just long enough for her to be reasoned or persuaded into backing down or conceding on her own volition. This is helped by the fact Eres is at worst a WellIntentionedExtremist AntiVillain more interested in 'winning the argument' and persuading Megan to her point of view than outright plotting to subjugate or destroy them, which gives the Williams and Paradise Estate chances they otherwise would not have.

* ParentalSubstitute: Eres was this for the Williams Siblings (and implied many others) when she started mentoring them, the Williams having lost their parents early in their lives.

* SoProudOfYou: Eres expresses unmitigated pride to Megan and her siblings for how far they had grown as heroes and leaders before departing Equus, both under her mentorship and also on their own, entrusting her with Humanity on Equus and also encouraging them to find their own path to a better future where even she could not.

Eres (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Deities-Profile-Eres-the-Matriarch-of-Mankind-1025069037 here]]) is the Human goddess of Humanity, Fire, Intellect, Vision, Manipulation, and more importantly the ancient progenitor of Humanity on Equus. A complex figure with a mysterious past, vast power and knowledge, and an implacable and determined will, Eres, the Matriarch of Mankind's unquestionable love and unrelenting efforts to protect and ensure her children would rise to greatness would leave an indelible mark upon both Humankind and the wider world over the ages, for both good or ill.\\\

* OlderThanTheyLook: It's noted Humanity in the Equusian universe in their modern form had been around much longer than their RealLife counterparts thanks to Eres' presence, although the most modern iteration seen in the Ages of Known History is still roughly as old as modern Humanity on Earth as a species, being provolved/created around 300,000 years.

* OurGiantsAreDifferent: Many different kinds of Human Giants live in the Eresean Empire as subjects, with notable groups/factions of them serving in the Empire's army.

!!!'''Portfolio:''' Humanity, Fire, Intellect, Vision, Manipulation

* KnowsWhenToFoldEm: Realising Megan and her friends may be more right than wrong regarding how to lead their realms and people to a better future, as well as discovering that she may be falling under the influence of her older half-brother Abaddon in her weakened state, would lead to her [[PassingTheTorch forfeiting her throne and empire to Megan and Paradise Estate]] centuries later when they had grown strong enough to match and even surpass her realm, both in acknowledgement that Megan had grown wise and powerful enough to take her place and also because she does not want to risk her falling under Abaddon's control and having her power, knowledge and experience turned against the rest of the world and her mortal children. She would subsequently depart Equus through a functional Altairequusian Starhenge with her remaining followers.

* AntiVillain: Eres in not bad, but her character flaws often cause her to act in questionable ways which while make sense to her puts her in conflict with more heroic characters.

* MyGreatestFailure: One of Eres' biggest (if not THE biggest) was the 'Tragedy of Pandora', involving her fabled first creation and daughter Pandora, who committed a transgression which led to catastrophe and Eres banishing her from her sights. They regretted what happened even tens of millions of years later, but they remain largely apart as both felt too much had been said and done between them for amends to be possible.

* MentorArchetype: She became one and a surrogate mother figure for the Williams Siblings, especially Megan Williams, despite their disagreements and their realms' rivalry,

* MyBelovedSmother: Implied to be this on a species scale. Her own experiences drove her to take a more 'hands-on' approach to guiding various Human races' growth and development, often to the point of directly ruling over and leading them as a GodEmpress. She sincerely means her people well, and had produced spectacular results, but it had been shown to cause complications.

* TheAlliance

* DuelingMessiah: With Megan Williams, the Rainbow Empress. Both wish the best for the world and their people, but have very different approaches in regards to it and are very steadfast in their respective positions. This led to reluctant rivalry and even conflict between the two rulers and their realms.

* MamaBear: She is noted to be highly protective of her mortal children, sometimes to the point of being overprotective, and react 'strongly' to egragious attempts to harm Humankind. A callous alien interstellar transit authority found to their detriment how much she is this trope when they [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1025069037/5119076957 informed]] her they wiped out a planet with a thriving Human civilization to make way for an interstellar bypass (without bothering to give them time to appeal or evacuate). She responded by obliterating them, blowing up the planet they were on, throw the remains into the sun, and finally ''blew up the sun'' and destroying the entire solar system they were in [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill for good measure]].

* MysteriousPast: NO ONE knows where did Eres came from. From what can be determined, she was just found one day wandering the primeval wilderness as a lost, frightened and confused toddler by scions of the Grand Primevals sent to retrieve her. There were unverified sources hinting that she and Humanity 'came too early', but that's about it. Theories range from being displaced from another time and place to being the product of evolution accelerating experiments guided by claivoyance.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Humanity, Fire, Intellect, Vision, Manipulation.

* TheDeterminator: She is infamous for her unrelenting determination to succeed or overcome, which many of her divine and mortal children shared or inherited.

While her existence and history spanned tens of millions of years before Known History, she is most notably known in the First Age as the founder of the mighty Eresean Empire, serving as both a rival and a mentor figure to Megan Williams, the future Rainbow Empress of Paradise Estate/Empire

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Humanity, Fire, Intellect, Vision, Manipulation
* ChildProdigy: She was this well before adolscence, with her brilliance actively cultivated from her adoption by the Grand Primevals and their divine scions, celestial servants and mortal followers

* DivineParentage: By adoption, the ''Grand Primevals'' themselves, who raised her with love but also pulled all the stops to cultivate her potential. She also sired whether literally or technically
