Gold Collection / Community Winner[ | ]

The first pair of twins born in the Second Corruption, Nuri and Bryce were orphaned at a young age when war tore apart their family as it had to so many others. But unlike most other children, the pair possessed ample magical gifts that helped them survive. Nuri, the more rambunctious sibling, wields smoldering flames to toast any that agitate her. Bryce, her brother, commands ice to mitigate the casualties of his sisters outbursts.
Their arcane talents made them prime targets for both Legion and Hellbourne recruitment efforts. Unsure which faction contributed to their parents' tragic demise, the twins would violently rebuke the efforts of recruiters from both factions. Goodwill warped to agitation and both sides utilized bounty hunters and kidnappers to forcibly separate the pair. But those who underestimate the twins often find themselves overwhelmed as a barrage of fire and ice assaults them from all directions. The surviving would-be captors might find the two-on-one situation unfair, but the twins realize that having only each other arent favorable odds when they're up against the rest of the world.

Knockout Set[ | ]

Deep Sea Riptide believes he is the most dominant warrior on the planet, whether he's in humanoid form on land or achieves his true, monstrous water form. Regardless of where he roams, he takes sadistic pleasure in causing pain and wreaking havoc among the mere humans of Newerth, who are good only for food and target practice. The pitiful heroes who try to stop him are amusing for a while, but it is the true warriors like Knockout, Cyborg and Angel Style Prisoner who truly make Deep Sea Riptide's inevitable conquering of Newerth semi-interesting.

General[ | ]

A legendary war god who could manifest the scorching power of the sun, Montu-Ra was once the idol of all warriors, guardians, and military strategists. His power faded as civilization turned away from bloodshed as a means for conflict resolution, but now, at the peak of the battle between the Legion and Hellbourne, prayers for a true guardian and victor have brought Montu-Ra out of the shifting sands of the Great Waste to bring his might and solar arsenal against the enemies of the sun.
While Shiva receives prayers from the inhabitants of the Frost Fields because of her benevolence, Aurealis is worshipped out of fear. The Frost Gods justice is harsher than the endless winter he imposes upon his people as a test of their faith, and any who fail are found frozen solid, seemingly carved from ice, lifeless effigies that are shattered by loved ones to appease their furious god.
