Description
English/Inglés:The universe is a very large place, and presumably, noone has ever seen its limits. Just a little something I give you to think about.
Allastor stands in the foreground, the mighty Mythril Dragon of the legend, at least in regards his clan's lore. He channels the power of Bahamut, and could be considered the very avatar of The Platinum Dragon, although he remains mortal. Kind, righteous and caring, he is the very example his clan's Elders once encouraged to follow.
In the shades, right behind him, Allastor (Nightfire) is considered the "other side of the coin" shared with the Mythril Dragon. He comes from a parallel universe to this one, twisted, and where dragons were not so "lucky" as in this one. His opposite, everything our hero is not, is represented in the Wrath. Devoted to Tiamat, and in a similar fashion, Allastor draws his power from the Queen of Dragons and his own wrath, in an attempt to avenge his kind.
Now, we have good and evil presented here, the two would be counters to one another... However, the Multiverse is called Multiverse for a reason. And if so, who are the other two shades of Allastor? What are their intentions, that some of them are reflected within their expressions...?
Here is part of the answer:
The "Allastor" behind Nightfire is known, by few, as The Watcher. He comes from a place two dimensions over, and it is said that this version of our Allastor is unaffected by a morality compass due to his past. For what has been gathered, he is capable of stepping outside of time and space at will, effectively making him chronolocked...
The last one is literaly a shadow of Allastor. It's unknows what could have created this abomination, but it is believed that prolongued exposure to the negative energies from the place he comes has effectively turned him into a being that is not dead, but neither alive...

Spanish/Español:
El universo es un lugar amplio y supuestamente nadie ha visto sus límites. Solo algo para darles en que pensar.
Allastor aparece en el frente, el poderoso Dragón de Mithril de la leyenda, al menos en lo que se refiere a su clan y su saber. El canaliza el poder de Bahamut, al punto que podría ser considerado el verdadero avatar de El Dragon the Platino, aunque él sigue siendo mortal. Atento, justo y cariñoso, él es un verdadero ejemplo que los Ancianos de su clan una vez incentivaron a seguir.
En las sombras, justo detrás de él, Allastor (Nightfire) es considerado la "otra cara de la moneda" que comparte con el Dragón de Mithril. El viene de un universo paralelo a este, torcido, donde los dragones no tuvieron tanta "suerte" como en éste. Siendo su opuesto, todo lo que nuestro héroe no es, es representado en la Ira Oscura. Devoto a Tiamat, y de una manera similar, Allastor obtiene su poder de la Reina de los Dragones y de su propia ira, en un intento por vengar a su raza.
Ahora bien, tenemos el bien y el mal presentados aquí, uno contrarrestando al otro... Sin embargo, el Multiverso se llama Multiverso por una razón. Si es así, ¿quiénes son las otras dos sombras de Allastor? ¿Cuáles son sus intenciones, de las cuales algunas se ven reflejadas en sus expresiones...?
Parte de la respuesta:
El "Allastor" detrás de Nightfire es conocido, por muy pocos, como El Observador. El proviene de un lugar dos dimensiones más allá, y se dice que esta versión de nuestro Allastor no obedece a una brújula moral, debido a su pasado. Por lo que se sabe, él es capaz de salirse del flujo del espacio-tiempo, efectivamente convirtiéndolo en un ente "cronobloqueado" (el tiempo no lo afecta)...
La última versión es literalmente una Sombra de Allastor. Se desconoce qué pudo haber creado esta abominación, pero se cree que la prolongada exposición a las energías negativas del lugar del que viene lo ha convertido en un ser que no está muerto, pero tampoco vivo...

I saw both movies actually. The Shadow is nothing like the Grand Marshal, although his moving speeds are quite superior
I have a few plans actually, but I don't wat to spoil anything yet.

Awwww...you gota get that soul stealing thing happening there like the Marshal can do. That was like the coolest thing ever! I can think of atleast 12 people that I don't like that I would love to do that to in real life lol.
"This is a world of many religions! Many faith's! And we simply cannot and will not be converted!", then the Marshal is like "Then I will take your soul!" and puches his fist into his stomic to rip out his soul. Like that was just so awsome and amazing beyond words. I cannot wait to see what you got planned!

A creature that Travels time and space endlessly...It reminds me of a character from a game I played that can travel between dimensions as well using the weapon or chronicle of Endless Travels. Hehe... Awesome work anyway!

so if the shadow isn't dead nor alive, then could it possibly be just some sort of psychological based entity?
that's just a hollow shell without a soul?

You sir, have won the internet!
They way you drew each dragon in such a way surprised me, and then you go and blow my mind with your explanations! That sir, is a rare combo. I must congratulate you on your work and how well you drew them!

Huh, so a Chrono dragon... Wasn't that far off of my first theory.
... ... ... (Tries to come up with a discreet way to say what's going on in my head)...
He stands in neither the realm of spirit nor living, never truly calling them his home yet using them for his own selfish ends... Or is he?
The only question that remains is what kind of multiverse laws that your using apply to someone who exists on multiple planes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Being Chronolocked means that your life force and support are sealed, so the effects of time and space have no effect on that individual. That means that Allastor, The Watcher (#3), does not age. If time should stop then he would not be affected. If reality would change, he would remember both the previous and have knowledge of differences from the old to the new. If the area around him explodes or vanish or does not exist any more, he is not affected since he doesn't exist inside space or time. Further more, he can actuaññy step in and out of the timeline to see and study events within that same timeline. At to that the fact that he comes from 'two dimensions over', which possibly means he is also capable of travelling to other universes.
As I said before about your theories, the flaw remains in the fact that you cannot partially follow Bahamut and Tiamat at the same time, since they are oposites. If one tries something, the other will try to counter it. You follow one or the other, but not both. If he is to follow someone's path, it would be someone else's, another deity perhaps.
In regards to the Shadow (#4), which I believe you are referring to when you say "He stands in neither the realm of spirit nor living", I have only mentioned that he is neither dead nor alive. I havem't stated what are his intensions yet. I will leave that to especulation, though.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you more about them or I would spoil it.
The manner I am laying it out is as follows, and also clarify the difference between an universe and a plane of existance:
There is our universe, which is composed by all we know exist. This universe is separated in the planes of existance. Consider it the Great Wheel ([link] ) of our universe in D&D terms. However, we don't necessarily see them all at once, since we inhabit only one of them: the Prime Material Plane. Beyond it, we would be capable of reaching the Etherial Plane, the Shadow Plane, the Astral Plane, the Inner Planes, the Outer Planes, etc. In our case, Allastor (The Mythril Dragon) inhabits planet Earth in our Prime Material Plane. In short, the universe is the whole thing, physical and not physical, and it's the planes that compose it. There are also the called "layers" within some of the planes, which you can read about from the link I gave you, since I could spend ages to explain it.
The theory I use would starte that for every single universe in the multiverse, there is one 'version' of each one of us. That would of course mean that there are as many 'us' as universes, right? Allastor Darkflame, the Mythril Dragon, is 'our' Allastor, while Allastor Nightfire, The Wrath, comes from another just 'beside it'. The Watcher and the Shadow also come from their respective universes, and came into this one, be it by accident or because they meant to, I have yet to state it for each. I am just presenting 4 of the MANY Allastor that would exist within the multivers, all coming from 4 different universes, and that will happen to find themselves a crossraods at some point.

I See, but after you said that both would nullify each other out, I abandoned that part of the theory. But The Shadow (4) is one who I still think is under the influence of another God but I digress.
The only reason I asked about the multiverse laws is this: Sometimes if the energy is great enough, one can unintentionally pull another one of themselves over to their realm. While one of them is unconscious and only a 'visitor' they will not understand what they say when they return to consciousness. I just wanted to see if this law applies here.

Ahh, I see. No, not using that, in regards to the multiverse.
As for the Shadow... well, I would spoil it if I told you

This theme is such a classic twist but I have to say its nice that you got this one made out still, nothing bad in it. I think that it only matters if you indeed like it, then do it as you want it to be ^^ Personally I too have some interest in "multiverses" as I call all these counterparts things. To me about... All these 4 look about equally as great as do their backgrounds you got made, nice work indeed.

That last rendition of Allastor on the far right looks so evil, I'm forced to link you to the following song just to show you how evil it looks (lyrics are semi-relevant, but mostly just "spooky music" nonsense)
