The statue has been broken and damaged beyond recognition, though it still makes onlookers feel vaguely uneasy.[/i] [center][img] http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/1/1d/Ancients.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130329182121[/img][/center] [b]Name:[/b] The Colossus, also known as the First Son and the Earthshaker [b]Age:[/b] Immortal [b]Race:[/b] Construct [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Description:[/b] Standing taller than most of Gaea's mountains, the First Son is a massive construct wrought of granite and covered in colorful vegetation. His eyes are two caverns of crackling green energy, and the kobolds claim he can see everything his creator sees. These rumors notwithstanding, the Colossus is a work of art, handcrafted by the Everqueen when Gaea was young and newly formed. His face has been painstakingly carved into the image of a roaring kodlak grizzly, one of the most bloodthirsty natural predators to stalk the mortal realm's forests. Of course, most bears don't have massive silver tusks protruding from the corners of their mouths, but the Colossus does. These tusks are capable of piercing almost anything, including plate armor and dragon hide. The First Son's torso is roughly humanoid in shape, and his five-fingered hands are covered in thorny vines that he often uses to whip his opponents. In truth, the Colossus would much rather pound anyone foolish enough to challenge his mother into paste with his overwhelming physical strength, though Kalla does her best to rein in his more destructive tendencies. Two sturdy pillars of granite form his legs and what appears to be a small river runs down his back, flowing through the trees and vegetation clinging to his titanic body. With a voice like the rumble of distant thunder, the First Son is one of the largest and toughest beings in the mortal realm. [b]Personality:[/b] Unlike the sylvan, who are little more than empty vessels waiting to be filled by Kalla's presence and orders, the Colossus has a personality of his own. Despite his fearsome appearance, the First Son is normally a gentle creature that enjoys wandering the sunlit glades of Arborealus, though he never lets the World Tree out of his sight. He knows what writhes beneath the tree and has no intention of letting it escape. The Colossus is bound by his devotion to Kalla and his sacred task. He would rather die than disappoint or betray his creator. One major difference between the Colossus and the Horned Goddess does exist, however. The First Son is full of the raw, untamed fury of the wilds. Stories from before the Cataclysm paint the Colossus in a less than flattering light, blaming him for the destruction of no less than five major cities. While his mother at least attempts to fix the damage she causes during her temper tantrums, the Colossus makes no effort to clean up after himself. His anger is pure and uncompromising. The only person capable of bringing him out of this berserk state is Kalla, and even she finds it hard to connect with him when he's angry. [b]Backstory:[/b] After waking up in a field on Gaea and seeing one of Kilgarrah's dragons flying over Drake Valley, Kalla was horrified. How could she keep her future creations safe from hunters like these? Kilgarrah had shaped the perfect predator, but Kalla knew he wasn't going to keep them on a leash and she didn't expect him to. The natural order demanded these creatures be free to do as their instincts bade them. Racing back to the now fertile plain where she first awoke, a region now called the Celebron Fields, the First Mother considered her options. She spent seven days and seven nights thinking of a way to protect her children from the countless dangers infesting Gaea. On the morning of the eighth day, the Celebron Fields had changed dramatically. The southern grasslands remained the same, but the northern half was now covered by a verdant forest. This woodland was one of an infinite number of gateways leading to the legendary forest of Arborealus. Deep within its heart stood the World Tree, and Kalla spent the evening of the eighth day shaping the World Tree's protector. Thus, the Colossus was born. Regrettably, the First Son's actual deeds are shrouded in myth and hearsay, a situation made much worse by the Cataclysm and the Silence that followed. One tale has survived, however, though the particulars are vague and unclear. The story, known as the Dance of Olum for some reason, describes a battle between the Colossus and some terrible enemy. Certain scholars believed this adversary was a monstrous dragon while others swore it was the first ziz ever born. The only thing the various versions of this tale agree on is that the Colossus triumphed, and Kalla sealed his wounded foe beneath the World Tree as punishment. Apart from this tale, nobody truly knows what the Colossus does when he's not serving the Everqueen. The truth isn't particularly interesting. Whenever he's not wandering Arborealus, following deer as they bound along or watching hawks soar overhead, the First Son spends most of his time sleeping in front of the World Tree. Of course, all it takes is one word from the First Mother and, like his sylvan brothers and sisters, the Colossus will awaken. In fact, both the twelve sylvan and the First Son dwell in the World Tree Glade when they aren't completing a sacred task on Kalla's behalf. Now, after the horrors of the Cataclysm and the Silence, the Colossus and the sylvan are almost always awake, preparing and training for the next assignment the Everqueen gives them. Gaea is still reeling from three hundred years of suffering, and Kalla considers it her responsibility to ensure the mortal realm has time to recover. Obviously, this means the Colossus and the sylvan view it as their responsibility as well. [b]Motivation:[/b] The First Son was created to protect the World Tree and to heed his creator's wishes. [b]Equipment:[/b] None [b]Magic:[/b] Only the Colossus and the twelve sylvan have an understanding of [i]urdalaar[/i] capable of rivaling Kalla's own. Using the wild tongue and the vegetation shrouding his stony body, the First Son is capable of hurling entire ironwood trees at his foes, calling forth storms of razor sharp thornwood leaves, and sending vines through his opponents' ranks like spears. He typically prepares for battle by using [i]urdalaar[/i] to summon a coat of living armor made of sturdy ironwood. Stone can be easily shattered, but ironwood can shrug off blows that would fell a dragon. In addition, the First Son has a permanent mental link with Kalla, allowing her to convey orders to him from anywhere on Gaea. The only limitation to this bond is the First Mother cannot command her son from the divine realm. She must be on the same plane he is.
