Long ago, there existed a race of superior beings known as the Pillar Men. Hyper-intelligent, impossibly strong, and with seemingly unending lifespans, the Pillar Men ruled the top of the food chain, consuming the flesh and blood of humans who regarded them as Powerful Gods or feared them as Blood-Hungry Demons. But the Pillar Men were short in number, due to the "rule of evolution" and the fact that they could not venture into sunlight. However, one day a man from their people had developed a way to increase their power and aimed to make the Pillar Men the Ultimate Lifeforms by creating Stone Masks to unlock their full potential. While the mask had not achieved the full potential of the Pillar Men, he had unlocked the powers of Elemental Manipulation in himself through the power of the Stone Mask. He sought to upset the balance and for that the Pillar Men believed him to be a threat, attempting to kill him. That man was Lord Kars. Lord Kars is one of the last surviving members of the Pillar Men race, after having slaughtered most all of them, including his own parents. After slaughtering his people, Kars left his home with his co-conspirator Esidisi and two children, Wamuu and Santana. After conducting experiments on humans with the power of the Stone Masks, he discovered the only the only way to unlock the true power of the Pillar Men. The Red Stone of Aja. A powerful and flawless gem that he believed would let him finally become the Ultimate Lifeform and finally be able to bask in Sun's light. He searched for years, but was unable to find it, eventually leading to the Hibernation of the Pillar Men. He and his loyal compatriots wait in their stone slumber until the day they deem right to begin searching once again for the Red Stone of Aja. On the day they awaken, the world will truly tremble at the might of the Pillar Men and their Leader, Lord Kars. |
