Background

Kheldians are energy beings that are from outside our galaxy. They include Peacebringers, Warshades, and Nictus.

Peacebringers, as the name implies, are peaceful Kheldians who are hunted by the Nictus. They can infuse themselves with a human host in a symbiotic relationship. A Kheldian can become immortal as long as they can move to a new host when necessary.

Warshades are Nictus that have had a change of heart and fight alongside Peacebringers. They also can infuse themselves with a human host.

Nictus are Kheldians that feed off life energy, killing Peacebringers and Warshades. Nictus use Shadow Cysts as a form of life support if no host is available. If the cyst is destroyed, the Nictus will die quickly.
