THE FALLEN GODDESS VS THE ASCENDED MORTAL

@laismoura-art Hey, Lais! It had been very long since the last time I decided to make one of your girls in Hero Forge, so I decided to fix that some days ago. And it's finally here, your Goddess of Sun herself! 🥳

As always, I have to share your original design and lore, because it's great! 🔥🔥🔥

I have to say I am kinda sad that my computer graphics apparently don't reflect the shine of flames as much as I would like for this design, but it's here nonetheless and I hope it will be worth seeing 🫡

And, of course, I also gotta bring an interaction. And dare I say this time I have come with the most contrasting one between our characters yet! I even got a cool title for it this time. 👀

The one your Delia has the displeasure to meet this time is my own personal take on a character from Mortal Kombat: Conquest, Queen Kreeya, whose bio I link alongside these other two so she can be fully understood.

I have to say that the more I thought about this encounter in my mind, the more I liked it. It's not just these two respective statuses in our AUs, but the fact that they're basically selfishness and selflessness taken to divine extremes:

-Kreeya: A goddess so egotistical that it cost her her very title. One who sees no value in anyone but herself. One who uses powers who were meant to create and protect for her own benefit and nothing else.

-Delia: A mortal so noble that she was ascended to godhood. One who sees so much value in others that she gave her life to protect her people. One who, after ascending, used her powers to keep protecting others from darkness.

Also, what Kreeya uses is meant to be orange energy rather than fire, but I thought there was a cool visual match in their powers there.

And there was the kinda fun coincidence that I established that Kreeya doesn't like Argus. Not for any of the actual good reasons to hate him, she just thinks he's pathetic for being close to the Elder Gods and likes to spite him, but she does nonetheless lol. I even got to write some interactions between them here:

Awful mom vs Awful dad and husband

So yeah, that was another thing I could add to the interactions, even if just as a joke lmao.

And now, before showing the interactions, I feel I must tag @rasta-bot too. I know she's interested in both my take on the Kreeyans and your take on Delia, so I feel this will interest her too 💯

Feel free to tell me what you think of the interactions, good things and flaws. I hope they'll be enjoyable in any case, though! ☺️

Kreeya: Wait, I recognize you. Are you not one of Argus’ mortals? laughs. Is that buffoon here too? It has been so long since I had the pleasure of humiliating him.

Delia: This has nothing to do with him.

Kreeya: Too ashamed to even speak about him? I cannot say I blame you. smirks.

Delia: The legends I have been told of Fabir gave me anything but a first good impression, Lady Kreeya…

Kreeya: Legends are all that remain already? rolls her eyes. Mortals have such a defective memory. I will have to make sure they never again forget Queen Kree…

Delia: gets angry. An entire realm, a civilization, all its inhabitants suffered because of you, the one who was meant to protect them! And all you care is if you are remembered!?

Kreeya: All gods are equal where you come from? That’s difficult to believe.

Delia: I suppose you can’t imagine a world where you could never be above all others.

Kreeya: scoffs. I am already above all our spineless, weak peers in everything but title.

Delia: A protector goddess so consumed by evil is almost impossible to believe.

Kreeya: ‘Evil’. ‘Good’. Do you think I let such useless concepts limit my will and actions?

Delia: You should. Unless you wish to meet the Hordes of Darkness in the due time.

Kreeya: Remind me, which of Argus’ half-breeds were also yours? The golden one, the red one or the purple one?

Delia: Half…? snarls. They are people, they have names! Taven, Daegon, Zeffeero!

Kreeya: Do not waste our time nor your words. I am not going to remember them.

Delia: How… How could you treat your own children like that?

Kreeya: I am their mother, their queen, their goddess. If they fail to fulfill the purpose I gave them, they are failures, worth nothing.

Delia: … I don’t care what titles you have, you do not deserve to call yourself a parent!

Kreeya: I have to admit… I am mildly curious to know the thoughts of a mortal who was given godhood. How did it feel to see those you gave your life for turn to dust in a heartbeat?

Delia: I did see all their lives. I saw the families who lived at peace when they were illuminated by my flame, the innocents saved from the Hordes of Darkness, their legacy and civilizations built thanks to them. Do not try to make me feel that saving them was worthless, that my people were worthless. They were all more valuable than anything you have ever achieved.

Kreeya: gets annoyed. You are still a mere mortal at heart.

Delia: You could create life, you could have allowed an entire realm to prosper. And instead, you decided to give up to your ambition. It cost you the very divinity you are so proud of. How can you have no regrets?

Kreeya: What I did gave me freedom, from the rules of those Elder Fools and from having to look after pathetic insects. And once the realms are mine, I will recover what I lost and, finally, have the place I deserve, while the likes of you will be nothing but servants.

Delia: sighs. A fantasy just as vile as impossible. Nothing will save you from the consequences of the path you have taken, I can already see it. And I assure you, at the end, you will have no one to blame but yourself.

Udina

Compared to all of Kreeya’s daughters, there is one daughter Kreeya was disappointed in the most; Udina. To say Kreeya and Udina had a loving relationship would be an understatement based on how much Udina loathed her mother.

Udina hated how egotistical and Cruel Kreeya was to the other Kreeyans. She always witnessed Kreeya making a big deal over Udina’s sisters failing her vision. she herself found joy in causing Kreeya hell every chance she got. Udina purposefully got Kreeya angry all the time to not only be noticed by Kreeya but to leave an impact.

Udina constantly skipped out on Kreeya’s lectures, destroyed items that Kreeya kept, ruining statues of Kreeya in Fabir. Udina knew that Kreeya could not punish her based on Udina inheriting a golden energy that Kreeya herself was intrigued with. Therefore all Kreeya could do was endure the torment.

Udina never cared much for her cousins or her aunt Athena, what truly mattered was they all got Kreeya angry. Still Udina felt some empathy for them after Kreeya forced them to leave the main Fabir region as they voyaged to a new one. She even felt envious of them based on the Amazonians having more freedoms and had a nurturing loving mother.

Udina is strategic in battles utilizing her combat strategies, spear, and her golden powers to her full extent. She can manipulate the power to boost durabilities in her weapons, form structures at will, or form projectiles with it.

Despite her accomplishments she however enjoyed giving Kreeya hell by losing challenges to see who would represent Fabir in Mortal Kombat even though she would aid it well.

When Shao Khan conquered Fabir, she immediately joined and was proud to see Kreeya defeated, for once she finally got what she deserved.

Udina joined the Khan Guard and proved to be a worthy ally to them including her older sister Karia. Udina would be a loyal sister to Karia who always supported her, while others see Karia as a high commander, Udina sees her as her sister. Together they would fight side by side and protect each other based on them failing to save Olyndra.

She is upset at her other siblings who abandoned the Khan Guard and her cousins for attacking many Khan Guard members. Though She will not hesitate to capture them as her true loyalty is towards the forces who forced her mother to accept defeat.

Notes:

What a character to round off the Fabir characters…by far I had the most fun retooling and reutilzing them.

So this character was based on this random Kreeyan character here that coincidentally ruined Kreeya’s plan in the mk conquest show she even does the same pose. Also the colors and aura surrounding the character was gold so I added that to her skill set. Not to mention I wanted a character to add a Kreeyan of the Khan Guard who is supportive to Karia. I also named her Udina as a fun reference to Kreeya’s actress name Fabiana Udenio.

Also a fun little detail when I accessed Palutena’s guidance in smash ultimate fighting Lucas I was inspired by Viridi to design her outfit and some of her personality. Here is a video from YouTube that helped bring this idea to life.

Also poor Lucas 😭 Mother 3 is a sad game

Mirror Vorpax/TR Vorpax Bio

The current ruler of Fabir and one of the most important allies of the Edenian Regime. As all Kreeyans, she was created and raised by Kreeya. She is currently the eldest of all her sisters.

Since she was one of the most experienced Kreeyans, she was chosen to be one of their representatives when collaborations with other realms was necessary for any reason, especially when there were common threats to eliminate. This allowed Vorpax to be one of the Kreeyans with most experience with other realms, with their societies and culture. Discovering the diversity of people who existed through the realms had been an enlightening process to her mother, and she wished to experience the same. And yet, the more she learned the more worried she was. Thanks in part to it… 

She had been hearing that voice for some time. A voice that, unknown to her, belonged to a being few knew, but the Elder Gods themselves feared. A voice which had once tried to influence the Dragon Onaga to do his bidding, and was forced to try with other beings among the realms once it failed. Said voice had chosen many of the young malleable Kreeyans as the next target.

Vorpax had initially written off the voice as something in her imagination, but she eventually realized it was real, especially when some of her sisters revealed they were hearing it too. Some thought about telling their mother, but Vorpax didn’t. She kept it secret even after Kreeya decided to try and help their daughter escape its influence. She had just grown to trust what it said.

The voice had told her stories about how all realms had been one long ago, and how being splitted was the reason why everything bad Vorpax had seen while travelling through the realms happened. Wars and conflicts, segregation between different kinds of beings. None of it would exist if all realms were merged again, if they all became one again…

The voice also ‘confessed’ Vorpax what it was, to gain her trust. It said that it came from a being who had once seen the realms as one, and that was desperate to find someone who would return them to their better original form. They told Vorpax that they could be their chosen one, their hero and that of every realm. That if no one made all realms become one again, they would inevitably be consumed by conflict and chaos eventually. That no matter what she would need to do to achieve, eventually she and everyone else would be rewarded with the perfect one realm.

Vorpax was eventually fully convinced by the voice. She was ready to fulfill what it said, no matter the cost, even knowing that many would oppose what she would need to do to merge all realms. She was ready to make every sacrifice that would be needed.

After convincing many of her sisters also influenced by the voice to join her and allying with the Edenian Regime, Vorpax managed to take control of her home realm, regretfully banishing any of her sisters who opposed her, as well as helping the Regime kill her mother and imprison her soul. In her mind, everything is justified, everything will be worth it, and they all will understand once they see the one realm.

For thousands of years, Vorpax has remained in alliance with the Edenian Regime. While they don’t share her vision, since they believe in bringing their ‘peace’ to the realms without merging them, she still hopes they will see her vision as they keep working together. After all, it is both their mission to bring ‘peace’ to all realms, and she knows that real peace can only exist if all realms become one again. She is confident she will eventually convince the Edenian Regime’s enforcers to complete this mission, just like the voice convinced her…

This bio is complimented by Kreeya's. This time we have my take of another character originated in the TV series Mortal Kombat: Conquest. She is a reflection of my personal take on Vorpax rather than the original version of the TV series (who is also a villain, making this just not her reflection). I should publish information about the main counterpart sooner or later, but for now I hope I have given enough for any reader to understand this version individually.

Kreeya Bio

Once the realms were created, the Elder Gods took the decision that, while they wished to respect the free will of the living beings in them by avoiding interfering as much as possible, they also wished to give them assistance in their development. To that end, they created protector gods for each realm, in charge of defending the mortals from their respective realms from future threats.

Kreeya was created as the protector goddess of the realm of Fabir. This realm had lacked life for a great amount of time, since it seemed mortal life just couldn’t develop there naturally for some reason. It was because of this that Kreeya was given the power to create life by herself, and given the chance to create a prosperous society in her realm if she wished. She thought it would only make sense to do it after seeing how mortal life was in other realms.

Kreeya spent some time visiting other realms, being guided by her fellow protector gods through the different kinds of mortal societies which were in development in their realms. Meeting mortals for the first time in their existence was something all protector gods had gone through, and it led each of them to reach different conclusions. Some saw value in mortal lives and appreciated their virtues. Others were more focused on their flaws and took further steps to try to guide them, one way or another. Kreeya? She saw no value whatsoever.

Such fragile, pathetic beings whose power could not come anywhere close to that of a goddess like herself. Kreeya couldn’t believe those were the precious beings she had been created to protect, the ones so many of their peers appreciated for some reason. She just couldn’t understand it, and was surprised by how only the then protector god of Outworld, Shao Kahn, shared her view on how inferior and worthless mortals were.

With those thoughts it isn’t surprising it came to her mind renouncing her position as protector goddess, something she was allowed to do since all protector gods were given as much free will as mortals by the Elder Gods. Nonetheless, it had one condition: renounce her divine power (since said power was meant to only be used to protect mortals), and live the rest of her days as a mortal. The thought of being in that situation disgusted her, so she decided to keep fulfilling her role, but on her own terms.

With her power to create life, Kreeya created life forms who, in her infinite humbleness, named the Kreeyans, an all female-born species who would inhabit Fabir from then on. She made sure each and every single one of them knew her as their only maternal figure, but guiding them to grow by themselves was the last thing she would do. She wished them to depend on her, to serve her. She was not just their mother, she was their creator and rightful leader, their Queen. While protector gods were usually forbidden from ruling the mortals of their own realm, Kreeya was able to justify it as something she only did due to her supposed worriedness for her new family and how she thought her daughters depended on her. She was allowed to continue with her position for the time being, although kept under vigilance in case she crossed any line. That limited what she could do, which frustrated her greatly and made her start looking for ways to surpass those limitations, surpass her creators themselves.

Answers to her frustrations seemed to come once she heard news of how Shao Kahn betrayed the Elder Gods by joining forces with the Dragon King Onaga. Despite having his powers taken away, Shao Kahn was able to keep a position of power by mastering powerful sorcery and acquiring great military power. Kreeya already had the latter, since she had made sure many of the Kreeyans became loyal warriors under her command, and acquiring the former was not difficult, all she needed was taking her time to develop a sorcery which could replicate her divine powers as well as possible. Once it was done and her power was assured even without her protector goddess status, she was ready to renounce it so she could be free to do as she wished.

Nothing good was going to come from her… but, in addition to her own ambitions, there was also a voice who started giving her certain ideas without her noticing. One that had also taken advantage of Shao Kahn’s arrogance in an attempt to become complete again, and that didn’t mind using another future betrayer of the Elder Gods to give themself another oblivious agent. A voice which belonged to a being even the Elder Gods feared…

Kreeya started to wish to conquer and merge all realms, take control of it and rule supreme in her rightful place as the most powerful being in all realms. With other powerful realms such as Seido, Edenia or Outworld out there, she decided to wait until she would have a good chance to initiate her conquests, which seemed to come after Shao Kahn failed his first invasion of Edenia. She thought that Outworld was weakened and ready to be taken over, so it was time to reveal her true intentions and start her conquest, one that failed quite miserably. (check here for further details)

Oh, but her death at the hands of the young General Reiko hasn’t been the end of Kreeya, since her soul was trapped and kept in Shao Kahn’s chamber waiting for a day in which it would be useful, a day that came with the creation of the being known as Ermac. Kreeya may currently be one of the thousands of souls within them, but it’s clear she won't be satisfied with that. If the chance ever arises, she will try to take control of the body and the other thousands of souls within it, so she can overcome her prior failure and obtain the glory and power she had always wished for. Time will say if she succeeds this time or not…

And here is my take on a character from Mortal Kombat: Conquest, mother of the more known Vorpax from the same show. Here is a little more information about the original if you are curious.

Little curiosity, in the show it is mentioned that the Kreeyans have their own realm, but it isn't given a name. I called it Fabir as a reference to Kreeya's actress, Fabiana Udenio.

Mirror Kreeya/TR Kreeya Bio

The protector goddess of Fabir, a realm which seemed incapable of naturally developing mortal life for some reason. It was because of this that Kreeya was given the power to create life by the Elder Gods, so she could help create a prosperous society if she wished. She thought it would only make sense to do it after seeing how mortal life was in other realms.

Kreeya spent some time visiting other realms, being guided by her fellow protector gods through the different kinds of mortal societies which were in development in each of them. Meeting mortals for the first time in their existence was something all protector gods had gone through, and it led each of them to reach different conclusions. Some saw value in mortal lives and appreciated their virtues. Others were more focused on their flaws and took further steps to try to guide them, one way or another. Kreeya? She initially saw little value, not understanding why she had been created to protect such fragile creatures… but she ultimately decided to give mortals a chance, keep watching the development of their societies, even deciding to interact with many. She is very glad she made that decision.

It turned out mortals had much more to offer than she had initially thought. She found such diverse beings… people among them. Their different species, their different cultures, all with flaws, but all with value. She even made friends among mortals, many of whom had a family, something which seemingly filled them with joy. She eventually decided she wanted her own family, and her power to create life was perfect for it.

Kreeya created new life forms in Fabir, an all female-born species that she named the Kreeyans, in what she has grown to admit wasn’t her most creative nor most humble moment. However, thanks to everything she had learned and continued learning of mortal parents through the years, Kreeya was able to be a guide for them properly. She educated them, but always made sure they knew she wasn’t without flaws nor unquestionable. She also made sure they didn’t see her as a goddess to worship, but as their mother and equal no matter how powerful she was. Thanks to this, Fabir’s society was able to grow peacefully for many years, which made Kreeya especially proud of her daughters. Nonetheless, said peace would be interrupted by an unexpected event…

Many of the Kreeyans confessed to their mother that they were able to hear a voice. It was subtle at first, some hadn’t been sure if it was actually them when they started hearing it, others thought that it was just their imagination. And yet, it continued speaking to them, trying to influence them, to give them ideas about how the realms should be. A worried Kreeya started to investigate this, even consulting her fellow protector gods if they had ever seen anything similar. Only the protector god of Outworld, Shao Kahn, was able to give her some clues, since it strongly reminded him of what the dragon Onaga had suffered back in his youth. He recommended Kreeya to try to spend more time with those among their daughters who heard that voice, to beat its influence with her own positive influence. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Kreeya’s eldest daughter, Vorpax, had heard that voice for too long, and she fully trusted what it said. That the realms were inevitably going to fall to chaos if they weren’t all merged and united under the same leadership, if they didn’t become one again. She had many big plans to ensure that came to be, and convinced many of her fellow sisters influenced by the voice to support her.

Vorpax knew her mother would be an obstacle in her objectives, so, as much as it pained her, she needed to get her out of the way. It was for that reason that she secretly approached Queen Sindel of the Edenian Regime, back in the days in which Naknada had been ‘pacified’ not long ago. She established an alliance with the Regime, believing they would be the best allies to have in her quest to unify all realms.

Being told by Vorpax Kreeya could be a dangerous opponent once she found out of their alliance, the Regime lost no time and ambushed her. Despite her power as a protector goddess, Kreeya was overwhelmed by the combined might of the likes of Queen Sindel, Lady Amara and Lady Delia (still alive back then). She fell in battle, and her soul was captured by Edenian mages who knew that, as a protector goddess, she would just reform her physical form if they allowed her soul to reach the Heavens. Her soul has remained trapped since then, unable to do anything to prevent their daughters from being divided in conflict due to Vorpax’s betrayal.

Despite remaining a prisoner, Kreeya’s soul refuses to give up. She continues to have hope that one day she will be able to escape, to see their daughters again. Only time will say if she is right, and if that’s the case, the Edenian Regime and its allies will have gained another powerful foe.

Here's my own take from a character who originated in Mortal Kombat: Conquest for this AU. Luckily, she is another of the very few I have a bio for her main counterpart so people can notice the contrast!

Kreeya Bio

Once the realms were created, the Elder Gods took the decision that, while they wished to respect the free will of the living beings in them
