This is a page summarising the main characters of Tales of the Eternals. You can find the first chapter here. This is to make it easier for new readers to come into the story and as a reminder for any older readers. I wish I had done this sooner as it would have really helped. The page will be refreshed with any new members of the cast. Thank you and enjoy.
Name: Altallo (human form).
Species: Eternal
Place of origin: Eternal Homeworld
Age: Unknown
Physical description: When we first meet Altallo, he is in his human form. An elegant looking being, Altallo would pass as a slimly built human in his early 20s at a glance. Up close, his piercing green eyes hints at his alien origins. Altallo usually wears royal blue leggings and a blue tunic covered by a yellow poncho. Most prominently he wears a gilded headdress with a red gemstone set in its centre and adorned with blue feathers. Like all Eternals, Altallo does not need to sleep, eat or drink but will do so to experience the sensations. He can withstand more heat, cold and pressure than ordinary humans to a degree, he will still be effected after long exposure.
Behaviour and personality: Initially Altallo is rather awkward and uncertain of social norms, having lived for millennia alone except for animals. As time goes on, he becomes more accustomed to being around humans and anthros, but can still find it difficult to grasp certain ideas such as Land Ownership and concepts of controlling nature. While he finds civilisations fascinating and will often study them, he much prefers the quiet of nature where he can conduct surveys of Earth’s species in peace. Altallo has grown an attraction with the raptor Shern’aath, however he finds it hard to express these feelings due to his rather formal background.
Likes: Nature, calm, quiet places, Shern’aath, his friends, cute animals.
Dislikes: War, carnage, destruction, his friends in danger.
Name: Shern’aath.
Species: Anthro Dakotaraptor
Place of origin: Hell Creek Formation, Late Cretaceous period, what will one day become Montana, USA.
Age: 29
Physical description: Shern’aath is a tall, lithely built with dark green scaly skin and his back is covered in thick brown feathers. On his snout is tattooed his tribe’s symbol, a red dot ringed by blue. Like real life dromaeosaurs, he has sickle shaped ‘killer claws’ which can be used as weapons, though he mostly relies on his trusty spear which is a family heirloom.
Behaviour and personality: Despite his potentially fearsome look, Shern’aath is actually quite gentle and kind. His tribe trained him to be a hunter, but secretly he wants to be an artist and loves painting. In his home he painted on rocks and the canvas of his tent, but later he paints on pots and walls. He is very fond of Altallo and finds his quirky personality utterly adorable, even if the latter finds it hard to express his feelings. He is extremely protective of Altallo also and gets angry whenever anyone disrespects or tries to hurt him. His only remaining family is his father, an elderly raptor who spends his days making models of animals and dinosaurs. Considered eccentric, his father lived far away from the rest of the tribe and while he can embarrass his son sometimes, Shern’aath is still very fond of him.
Likes: Nature walks, art and painting, Altallo, friends, his family.
Dislikes: Violence, anyone being rude to Altallo or his father.
Name: Kiya
Species: Human
Place of origin: Thebes, The Middle Kingdom of Egypt
Age: 25
Physical description: Kiya is an attractive Egyptian woman with olive skin, black hair and dark eyes. She still has her own hair, a rarity for the Egyptian upper class who often shaved their heads and wore wigs. She usually wore plain clothes in her temple while training to be a priestess, but dresses extravagantly outside it. Her favourite piece of jewellery is a gold diadem with a jewelled scarab beetle set into it.
Behaviour and personality: Kiya is initially rather haughty and aristocratic, given her status as a trainee priestess at the great temple in Thebes. Despite this, she had a rather humble beginning: she is an orphan who was dropped off at the temple’s entrance and adopted by two priests, a male crocodile named Ramos and a female cat named Neferure. Kiya loves both as her own parents. Despite her smaller stature, Kiya can be a force to be reckoned with. She has a fiery temper and will often verbally lash out at others when angry. While at first she is hostile to Shern’aath and looks down at Altallo, she soon becomes a firm friend of theirs. Despite learning simpler ways of life from them, Kiya isn’t above indulging in luxury when she can. After all, as she would say, what’s the point in life when you can’t enjoy yourself? A major turning point in her life is meeting the minotaur Asterion. Kiya is very attached to him and will often defend him, breathing fire at those who would dare bully the gentle giant.
Likes: Fine food, jewellery, new clothes, make up, relaxing in luxurious places, her friends, Asterion, occasional travel (in style of course)
Dislikes: Her friends in danger, long cramp journeys in filthy conditions, rushing around.
Name: Asterion.
Species: Anthropomorphic bull
Place of origin: Originally Thrace, later kidnapped by the Minoans and imprisoned in the Labyrinth of Crete.
Age: Roughly in his late 20s or early 30s.
Physical description: Looming above Altallo, Shern’aath, Kiya and most other companions, Asterion is huge and powerfully built. His muscular body is covered in thick white fur which is very soft to the touch. His eyes are often hidden beneath his long hair, but when seen they are beautiful shade of blue. His muzzle is a soft pink and he is often seen smiling gently.
Behaviour and personality: Despite his intimidating size and appearance, Asterion is one of the gentlest characters. He enjoys nothing more than relaxing with his friends, especially Kiya who he has become attached to due to her being the first person he’s met. Asterion is mute, but can communicate very fluently through sign language. Perhaps owing to the extreme loneliness he felt in the depths of the Labyrinth, Asterion loves hugging his friends and his friends appreciate these. Even though he is a gentle giant, he can turn hostile if any of his friends are threatened.
Likes: Being free, Kiya, his friends, travel and discovery, hugging.
Dislikes: Being a prisoner, loneliness, seeing his friends in danger.
