Overview:
The Hollowed, are unnatural forces originating from a pocket dimension known as The Null Void. Born from a dimensional rift. These manifestations of chaos are powerful, vengeful, and relentless in their pursuit of a universe-wide apocalypse.
They do not see themselves as “invaders” but as agents of balance, existing to cleanse the universe from what they perceive as its decay. They aim to bring about the end of all things as they know it, making way for a new, purer order—one that will be shaped entirely by their will and the Cult of The Null. Their physical forms are often cloaked in an impenetrable aura, making them appear as dark silhouettes with hints of glowing, ephemeral energy. When they move, the world around them warps—time, space, and matter distort under their influence.
The Cult's Role:
The Cult of The Null serves as the Hollowed's hands in the physical world. As the Hollowed prepare for their ultimate mission—the end of the world—the Cult carries out their bidding, gathering followers and performing rituals to unleash chaos. The Hollowed often manipulate mortal emotions and situations to further their agenda, with the Cult providing the necessary fuel for their rise.
Key Motivations:
The Hollowed's main goal is the total annihilation of the current world order and the reconstruction of the universe through their destructive influence. They are convinced that the universe is sick and needs to be purged. Each Hollowed embodies an element of total collapse, and their personalities reflect the chaos they bring:
The Enforcer (War): The embodiment of conflict, aggression, and relentless destruction. War exists as the force that brings forth the collapse of peaceful order. It thrives in battle, driving armies to fight and causing widespread carnage to pave the way for greater chaos. The Enforcer’s power is invoked in the form of uncontrollable wars that sweep across planets and stars, tearing societies apart with strategic and violent force.
The Reaver (Famine): The embodiment of hunger, deprivation, and suffering. Famine unleashes widespread scarcity of resources, causing planets to starve under the weight of ecological destruction, corruption, and the stripping of natural supplies. The Reaver controls the cycle of consumption and death, seeing it as a cleansing process for the universe, a necessary step to prepare for the rebirth of a new world.
The Forger (Pestilence): The embodiment of illness, decay, and unrelenting infection. Pestilence sows disease and affliction across the galaxy, leaving planets in ruins and societies on the brink of collapse. Their powers warp living beings and infect entire ecosystems, often mutating organisms or spreading untreatable diseases that leave whole populations decimated. The Forger’s power can alter biology itself, creating twisted creations of despair.
The Destroyer (Death): The embodiment of entropy, decay, and finality. Death serves as the ultimate force that ends the cycle of life. The Destroyer is the manifestation of the final moment, where all things must cease to exist, creating a void in its wake. This force is the one responsible for causing mass death, with each soul that perishes becoming a prisoner of The Null Void, unable to rest until the Hollowed are destroyed.
Key Features:
Siblings in Bond: While the Hollowed operate as individual forces of destruction, they share an inseparable, sibling-like bond that makes them act as a unified entity. Their unity is what drives the apocalypse forward, as they cooperate to tear the universe apart in a harmonious cycle of devastation.
Supernatural Presence: The Hollowed are forces beyond mortal comprehension. Their very essence distorts reality, bending and breaking the fabric of space-time. When they enter an environment, the laws of nature no longer apply, and the Void stretches to embrace all.
Soul Absorption: A soul taken by the Hollowed does not simply perish; it is dragged into the Null Void, where it is lost for eternity. The destruction wrought by the Hollowed comes with the grim consequence that those who die in their wake are never truly allowed to rest. They cannot reach the afterlife, nor can they be resurrected unless the Hollowed are destroyed. Only by defeating the Hollowed will the souls trapped in the Void find their rightful place.
Pocket Dimension - The Null Void: The Hollowed come from an isolated pocket dimension, the Null Void, where all souls they consume are stored. This dimension is one of absolute darkness, an eternal prison for the souls of the fallen, and a place where the Hollowed find their true form. The landscape of the Void is ever-changing, full of shifting black landscapes, swirling energy, and endless voids. Time and space have no meaning there, and only the Hollowed rule over the unholy realm.
Key Beliefs:
The Universe Must Be Reborn: The Hollowed believe the universe is sick and must be destroyed to be reborn in their image. They are purifiers, sent by an unknown force or cosmic event to cleanse the universe and reestablish a new, more “pure” world.
Destruction Brings Order: The Hollowed see their mission as necessary for the survival of the universe. They believe that only through the utter destruction of all things can true balance and purity be restored. In their eyes, chaos and destruction are part of a divine plan, one that will lead to a rebirth of existence.
Character Arc:
As the series progresses, the Hollowed grow in power, influence, and reach, their bond becoming stronger as they prepare for their ultimate mission. They are not merely mindless forces of destruction but strategic entities, each playing their part in a grand, apocalyptic scheme. The audience will witness their devastating effects on the galaxy and the ultimate conflict between the Hollowed and those who wish to preserve the old universe. Their presence will steadily increase, leading to a final confrontation where the stakes could mean the end of all existence or the salvation of the souls trapped in the Null Void.
The Hollowed
-
The Enforcer
“There is no victory, no strategy, no enemy—only chaos. And when the dust settles, you won’t remember why you fought.”
🔴 Power: Unmaking of Conflict & Identity
Doesn’t just create war—it erases the reason for war while forcing beings to fight endlessly.
People forget who they are, who they’re fighting for, or why they even started.
Armies become mindless battlegrounds, fighting in a loop with no winner, no cause, just pure, ceaseless violence.
Even when the Hollowed is gone, entire civilizations remain trapped in cycles of meaningless war.
Our Unique Twist: Instead of being the embodiment of war, it’s the unraveling of purpose itself—reducing all existence to brainless violence.
-
The Reaver
“Your body will starve, your soul will thirst, and your mind will crave something nameless. And even when nothing is left, you will hunger still.”
⚫ Power: Consumption Without Satisfaction
Doesn’t just take food—it creates an eternal, unfillable void inside its victims.
Beings try to eat, drink, breathe but nothing sustains them. They become living husks, desperate but incapable of being fulfilled.
Resources don’t disappear—but anything consumed just fuels the hunger further.
Some beings start devouring themselves, others worship it as a way to feel full.
Our Unique Twist: This isn’t just famine of food—it’s emptiness of the soul, of knowledge, of meaning itself. It’s eternal hunger that can never be relieved.
-
The Forger
“Your body rots. Your mind fractures. But the worst part? You will remain aware as it happens.”
🟢 Power: Decay of Form & Sanity
Doesn’t just spread plague—it spreads an erosion of existence.
Beings don’t just get sick—their minds and bodies slowly dissolve into something… wrong.
Entire cities turn into grotesque landscapes where people are trapped in half-formed, failed versions of themselves.
The worst part? They stay conscious through it all. They are aware of what’s happening but can’t stop it.
Our Unique Twist: Instead of just disease, this is self-destruction at a cellular and mental level. Victims are left forever trapped in an eternal state of deterioration.
-
The Destroyer
“It does not take you. It simply erases the memory of your existence.”
⚪ Power: Unbeing & Absolute Erasure
Doesn’t just kill—it removes all traces that a being ever existed.
When it claims someone, they are gone from time, from memory, from history.
Loved ones forget them mid-conversation. Monuments to their achievements crumble instantly.
The greatest horror? Those claimed feel it happening. They see the world forgetting them.
The ultimate fate: To die while knowing you never mattered at all.
Our Unique Twist: This isn’t just death—this is total erasure from existence. There is no afterlife, no memory, not even echoes of their presence left behind.

The False Prophet
"The only way to kill the False Prophet… is to silence every voice that speaks its name."
Powers:
1. Corruptive Whispers (The Mind Virus)The False Prophet does not speak in words—it plants ideas, feelings, certainties.
The victim thinks the thoughts are their own—they are unaware they are being influenced.
It does not need to control you—it simply nudges you until you destroy yourself.
____________________________
2. The Blessing That Kills
The False Prophet bestows "gifts" upon its most devout followers.
These gifts are always cursed, twisted, or unsustainable.
A man given eternal sight sees every version of reality at once—until he gouges out his own eyes.
A woman granted power over life finds that everything she touches warps into monstrosities.
The "blessed" always end in ruin—but they do not realize it until it is too late.

3. The Cult-Breeder (Worship Through Manipulation)
It does not demand followers—it makes them believe they chose it.
The most desperate, the most broken, the most hopeful are the easiest to turn.
Cults are formed, sects rise, wars are fought in its name.
Entire civilizations will kill for the promise of salvation—never realizing there was never anything to be saved from.
____________________________
4. Rebirth Through Lies (It Can’t Be Killed, Only Forgotten)
It has no true form—it appears only in the minds of those who believe.
The moment no one remembers it, it ceases to exist.
But the moment one desperate soul starts to doubt reality… it returns.
