Wants/Needs: Ekusha desires attention in general, whether it be through worship, fame, or influence. Her spirit is immortal, but her power is derived from her more susceptible and impressionable followers (overworld inhabitants, weaker spirits, lesser angels/demons, etc). Her greatest fear is fading into irrelevance, and therefore she is compelled to substantially impose herself on others.
Relationships: Ekusha easily makes and breaks connections, enjoying a degree of self-imposed solitude when she feels is appropriate and dealing with others when it proves advantageous. In this new apocalypse, she is open to getting all the help she can, so long as she gets her cut.
Backstory: Throughout time, Ekusha has played a variety of roles in various realms: from grand despot, to military commander, to religious icon, to many other minor roles. She has also, in other instances, fooled many into believing her to be a deity or demon, but she is merely a spirit with no true celestial or infernal affiliation. Her allegiance is only towards herself.
She is cunning in her ways, seeking power is any form available to her. She enjoys being idolized, and being able to use her influence to subjugate all beings through speech and slaughter. She has fought countless battles, and fled her own destruction just as many times. She puts herself in constant conflict with the many idols the world has produced, and her power constantly cycles between significance and non-existence.
Now, Ekusha comes to the Dungeon Keeper in hopes of securing power. She wants to conquer for herself an empire that will last until eternity. She wants subjects across all lands, in all realms, that stand before her. She sees the Dungeon Keeper as a messiah, his apocalypse as a revolution, and herself as a zealot/prophet soon to be ruler.
Other:- Often found observing from the universal sidelines, when not inhabiting any particular realm.
- Incalculable amounts of experience in rising to power, over the course of countless lifetimes.
