One of the seven Immortals roaming the world of Aion.
Born 2/29/2072, Erudessa is older than interstellar travel, and perhaps the only Immortal who still holds any respect for the lives of ordinary mortals. Together with the other six, she helped transform planets all across the galaxy into habitable worlds for humanity to live on. She was the Prime Terraformer, the geo-engineer of the group, gifted with immense elemental powers with which to shape the earth to her whim. While she worked on nearly all known planets in the galaxy, Aion was her magnum opus. For this world, she held nothing back. From rich vegetation and rolling hills to the invention of magic itself, she wanted this place to become the new home for her immortal kin, and a shining beacon of perfection for the rest of mortal humanity.
The first settlers arrived on Aion in 2550. Erudessa stayed planetside to develop the blossoming civilization here, a practice the other Immortals soon adopted. At first, everything went well. But only two hundred years later, a disaster struck that would change the face of the galaxy forever:
Voidspawn.
Strange, vicious creatures hailing from another plane of existence ripped open a portal and escaped into Aion. The vast Haven towers erected all around the world, powerful though they were, could not stem the black tide for more than an hour, and billions of lives were lost in the resulting slaughter. Only the timely intervention of the mighty Azure Armada and a host of civilian starships prevented the Voidspawn from escaping to the galaxy at large, but only just.
Thus the Immortals began their slow, arduous campaign to push the wretched creatures back to the hell they came from. Though they all died time and time again, hundreds of times over, they eventually succeeded in driving out the Voidspawn and closing the portal. Erudessa, weary from decades of endless war, chose to take a few centuries' break from her usual wandering to live an ordinary life on Aion. She took a husband, raised children, and became the matriarch of her own clan. In time, together with millions of brave new settlers, they turned the war-ravaged world into an inviting home once again.
Still, every once in a while, Erudessa turned her eyes upward, wary of an enemy she never fully defeated.

In terms of personality, Erudessa is personable, easygoing, and more than a little flirty. She also has a high level of pride in herself, known for her flashy battle tactics, intimidating poise in the political sphere, and general confidence in most social situations. Her romantic confidence, in particular, is perhaps her most famous trait - she married and outlived seven husbands in a row, wooing each of them with a bold confession of love. The public still perceives her as the most eligible Immortal of the seven, a perception she actively tries to cultivate.
