History

Dominated by the Demon Princelings

Meeting with the Phoenix

Evolution stopped

A billion years ago, the demonic rulers of an unknown planet performed a great rite in order to bring evolution and progress to halt, so that they could enslave their planet's population.

The Messiah and the Lights

The rite proved to be effective, until the Phoenix Messiah emerged. She gathered five acolytes, the Lights, who banded together to destroy the rule of the demon lords. All of them were powered beings, but their origins are unknown.

Communed with the Phoenix

Together, they rebelled and waged war against the Lord of Stasis, and at last, the Phoenix Force came to their planet, and communed with the Messiah and her Lights.

The Phoenix Messiah

Evolution restarting

The spell was broken by the Five and One through the Phoenix Force, and the Demons were swept away.

The whole history was witnessed by the alien peace-keeping robot Unit. When he encountered another Phoenix Messiah a billion years later, he intended to deprive her of her own Lights to see what would happen.

Powers

The Lights seemed to possess the following powers:

• Flight thanks to purple cut out wings.
• Presumably Superhuman strength, scythe-shaped arms and sharp teeth.
• Cryokinesis through the hands.
• A toad-like demon, presumably granted with related abilities.

• The Phoenix Messiah was granted with Pyrokinesis coming through mouth and eyes orbits, unusual body parts for her species.

Following their communion with the Phoenix, they were all powered with flight, and possibly other powers related to the Phoenix.

Paraphernalia

Weapons

Their own powers.

Transportation

Their own flight.

Notes

• Technically, those Lights were the first Phoenix Five to commune with the Phoenix Force.
