Zurg

Erkhon Stardom (born c.1916 - disappeared February 26, 2020) is a Terin politician, tyrant, murderer, and the former Zurg of the Eviltie Empire.

Stardom was born around 1916 in the village of Shaksiville, Terin. Ten years later, Shaksiville was attacked by Evilis Pirates, and Stardom's family was killed. The Evilis kidnapped Stardom. Stardom eventually escaped in 1937, killed most of the Evilis, and then crash-landed in Germany on the planet Earth in an escape pod. Stardom then joined the Nazi Party and became an advisor to Adolf Hitler during World War II. After the Axis lost the War, Stardom fled to the Soviet Union.

In 1950, inspired by both the Nazis and the Evilis, Stardom created the Eviltie Empire. Over the 1950s, Stardom captured his home planet of Terin, as well as the planets of Firelodia, Oeif, Senolk, and Popstar.

In 1957, Stardom attempted to invade New York City, but he was encountered by Thomas Konju, who defended the city. Konju drove Stardom and the Evilties from Earth until 11 years later, when Stardom came back to Earth and once again fought Konju. From the 1970s - 1990s, Stardom and Konju became sworn enemies with them occasionally encountering each other during battles. In 1999, Stardom killed Konju's apprentice, Michael Soclin, Jr. and brainwashed him into becoming an Eviltie named the Elf King.

Stardom continued to preside over the Eviltie Empire from the 2000s to 2020 and both gained and lost territory. He also led the Evilties in battles such as the Second Battle of New York, The Battle of the Legion 5 Cave, and The Great Battle of 2020. During the Great Battle of 2020, Stardom was knocked unconsious and was sucked up into a portal, going missing on February 26, 2020. Afterwards, the Elf King became the Zurg of the Eviltie Empire.

Early Life (1916 - 1937)
Erkhon Stardom was born in circa 1916 to Jokeidn and Madyeianah Stardom in Shaksiville, Terin. He had one older sibling, his sister Hejria, and a younger brother born in 1925, Merirtel. Stardom was a diligent student and did well in school.

In 1926, a group of pirates from the planet of Senolk, known as the Evilis attacked Shaksiville. Stardom (who was coming home from school) found his parents Jokeidn and Madyeianah as well as his sister Herjria dead in the kitchen. He grabbed Merirtel, but then was stopped by the Evilis. The Evilis killed Meritel, enraging Stardom. Stardom was then kidnapped and taken aboard the Evilis Ship. The Evilis then flew away with Stardom tied to a chair. In 1937, after 11 years of torture, Stardom finally broke free, killing the Evilis Leader, Jeruto as well as many other Evilis. Only 7 out of 23 Evilis survived. Stardom then escaped aboard an escape pod and crash-landed in the country of Germany on Earth.

Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union
Stardom crash-landed in Berlin, Germany on February 28, 1937. There he encountered Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party. Hitler was planning to commit genocide on a group of people known as Jews. He asked Stardom to join him. Although Stardom knew what Hitler was planning was wrong, Stardom felt broken and had no sense of purpose. He believed this would at least give him something to live for.

During World War II (1939 - 1945), Stardom served as an advisor to Hitler, as well as a concentration camp guard and Nazi soldier. By 1941, the year the Jewish Holocaust began, Stardom had been fully radicalized and he believed the Jewish people to be the spawn of the Evilis on Earth. When Hitler committed suicide and the war ended in 1945, Stardom fled to the Soviet Union where he hid. In 1947, he began planning to create his own Nazi Order, focused on galactic domination. He began building a rocket to leave Earth. By 1950, he was ready.

Early Eviltie Empire
On February 15, 1950, Stardom officially created the Eviltie Empire. He wanted it to operate as a galactic form of Nazi Germany. He had thought of the name by taking the name of the Evilis, now believing that they were justified in their attack on Shaksiville. Although he still believed them to be Jews, he could respect them in the fact that they were willing to establish dominance. He then mixed the name Evilis with the Terin word Vyltiye, meaning "superior". He declared himself the leader, using the title Zurg, the Terin word for leader, originating from the myth of Lykenous-Zurgious, the Terin man who established an 1,000 year empire.

He first recruited former Nazis on Earth. Then, on April 3, 1950, he launched his rocket into space, where he contacted the remaining 5 Evilis (2 of the survivors had died). In 1953, he started recruiting teenagers and young men through the use of secret propoganda. In 1954, he invaded the capital of Terin, Yyteir. He then declared Terin as the official capital of the Eviltie Empire and declared that all Evilties (who were currently living on Earth in secret) to relocate to Terin. In 1955 he invaded the worlds of Popstar and Oeif. By that year he had gained 500 soldiers in the Eviltie Army. He also had gotten the citizens of those worlds to pledge him as their leader. In 1956, he invaded Senolk, believing it to be revenge on the Evilis. This caused some of the Evilties that had formerly been Evilis to start defying the Eviltie Empire.

In March of 1957, Stardom found out of their treasonous actions and had the 3 of the Evilis executed. The other two had remained loyal.

The Attempt to Invade New York
In April of 1957, Stardom became interested in invading Earth. He decided to start by invading New York City, a large city in the United States, an enemy of Germany during the war. On June 6, 1957, Stardom, along with a few of his Eviltie Soldiers arrived on Earth. Zurg began building robots that he planned to use during the invasion. The robots had very limited functions. They could walk and fire weapons if they were given them. Stardom called them Zurg-Bots.

On June 16th, while programming a Zurg-Bot in an alleyway, Stardom noticed a teenaged boy glaring at him in the alleyway. Afraid that the boy would report him to the authorities, Stardom knocked the boy unconcious and procceded to beat him. When he noticed a police officer standing near the alley, he stopped and ran off. Fearful that he would be reported, Stardom ordered 50 of his troops to go back to Terin and to not return until June 24th, citing that as the day of the attack.

On June 24th, Stardom ordered all Eviltie Troops and Zurg-Bots available to attack buildings in New York to cause chaos and confusion. Stardom himself destroyed a local bookstore. Stardom then ran onto a street where people were running from the violence. Stardom then proclaimed himself the ruler of New York and told the citizens to bow down to him. However, he then noticed the boy he had beaten running over to a burning building. The boy then turned around to face Stardom. The boy's name was Thomas Konju.

Stardom procceeded to mock Konju making fun of his age and his "fake" heroics. Stardom then picked a heavy stick from the ground and ran at Konju, hoping to bludgeon him to death. However, Konju was able to deflect the attack and threw Stardom's stick into a building that was on fire. Angered, Stardom brandished his combat sword and dueled Konju (who had a 900 year old staff). Stardom managed to scar Konju underneath his left eye, as well as his knee. However, Konju then knocked Stardom's sword out of his hand using his staff, and then stabbed Stardom in the side.

Stardom, realizing he would be defeated if he continued the invasion, called for a retreat of all Eviltie forces. Stardom then ran aboard a rocket-ship before the police could arrive.

1960s - 1980s
Angry that he was unable to overtake Earth, Stardom began focusing on other planets. In 1962, he threatened King of Firelodia, Magmus Kayron and forced him to give Firelodia over. Kayron reluctantly complied, but in 1964, returned with an army and demanded Stardom give Firelodia back. Stardom intially refused and commanded all Firelodian Forces to fight Kayron's army. This caused the 4 Day Long Firelodian Civil War. Kayron eventually convinced Stardom to return control of the planet. In 1966, Stardom overtook Electria and killed it's King, Sheorjkdle. In 1968, he once again encountered Konju in his attempt to take Earth. He attacked the school Konju was working at but Konju defeated him and sent him back to space.

In 1970, he gained control of the planet Korne. In 1977, however, Popstar declared it's independence from the Eviltie Empire, prompting the Eviltie War which lasted from 1977 to 1982. It ended with the Treaty of Dreamland, where the Eviltie Empire agreed to recognize Popstar once again. In 1984, Korne also left the Eviltie Empire. In 1985, Frostlandyaa joined the Eviltie Empire, however unlike the other planets, Frostlandyaa willingly joined. In 1987, Stardom orchestrated the Battle of Annapolis, where he baited Thomas Konju, as well as Konju's new apprentice Michael Soclin, Jr. into defending Konju's birthplace of Annapolis. Unsatisfied that Konju did not go to fight him, Stardom shot Konju's father James. This enraged Konju. Konju defeated Stardom in the duel and slashed Stardom's left eye. Stardom ordered a retreat and left back to Terin.

1990s
In 1992, Stardom began planning a new era of the Evilties as seen in some of his sketches. It is unknown what he was referring to. In 1993, Stardom kidnapped American businessman Zachary Collin in an attempt to get Konju to come to him. However, instead of Konju, Michael Soclin, Jr. went to fight Stardom and defeated him, freeing Collin.

In 1997, Stardom began to realize that Soclin was powerful in ways that nobody could imagine. He began planning to turn Soclin into an Eviltie. He would later get his opportunity at The Duel of Konju's Towers.

Duel of Konju's Towers, Soclin's Death, Revival, and Brainwashing
On November 16, 1999, eager to finally convert Soclin, Stardom travelled to New York City with 10 troops. The troops overtook an ambulence which they would use to take Soclin. Stardom then walked to Konju's Towers. Soclin was watching television in the lobby. Stardom then attempted to stab Soclin when lunging at him. However, Soclin ran into the elevator. Stardom managed to enter and fought Soclin on the way. Stardom then encounterd Konju as well and pursued them throughout the towers.

They finally dueled in the training room. There, Stardom impailed Konju in the side and then kicked him to the corner of the room. Then, Stardom kicked Soclin out of a window. Soclin fell to his death crashing through an elevator and then landing on his head on a street where he was run over by a car. Stardom then ran out of the training room.

In the hallway, Stardom then sent a transmission to one of his troops, Johnathan Harris (who was driving the ambulence) telling him to take Soclin before a real ambulence could. Stardom then leaped out of the window and ran to his starship. After the ambulence boarded, Stardom helped by two other human troops removed Soclin from the ambulence. Stardom then ordered the pilots, Snarlin and Yourjken to fly to Terin.

Upon reaching Terin, Stardom took Soclin to a medical facility where he was experimented on. Stardom finally was able to revive Soclin using Eviltie Technology on March 18, 2000. Stardom then brainwashed Soclin for 5 months, making him believe that Konju was abusive towards him, that Konju orchestrated his death, and that Stardom and the Evilties wanted to save him. To finish it, Stardom surgically turned Soclin into the ancient species of the Elf. By August 31, 2000, Soclin's brainwashing was complete and he had turned into the Elf King. Stardom then ordered Elf King to Earth to kill Konju.

2000s
On December 27, 2000, Stardom appointed Elf King the royal governor of Frostlandyaa after the previous governor Icen, died. Stardom continued to preside over the Eviltie Empire. In 2001, Stardom began a policy for children with superpowers to be recruited as Eviltie Assasins. The policy was failing by December 2001 but in 2002, after Elf King filed for divorce with his wife Mary Collin, Stardom ordered him to bring his children Lucy and Zachary Soclin to Frostlandyaa to unlock their powers. Lucy's genetic ice powers unlocked without issue, however Zachary's powers unlocked as lightning due to extreme exposure during the experiments.

Stardom ordered the beginning of training for the children. However, the children did not want to be assasins so in 2004, Elf King sold the children to a clown in New York.

Elf King's mission
In June 2005, Zurg was informed by the Elf King that he had a plan to kill Konju. When Zurg asked of it, Elf King told him that he would inform him on Zurg's homeworld of Terin. On Terin, Zurg was told that Elf King's plan was based around the information that Konju had recruited 5 kids to fight alongside him, and that Elf King would orchestrate a battle, kill Konju, and turn the 5 children into Eviltie assasins due to their powers. Zurg told Elf King to not fail, and revealed his deformed face to him. The Elf King would go on to lose the battle, greatly angering Stardom.

Zurg's Plan

A little more than a year after Elf King's failed battle, Elf King returned in his Eviltie Ship. A disappointed Zurg met with him and mocked him. Zurg once again removed his helmet. Zurg informed Elf King that the Evilties would need to strike again. Elf King told Zurg that he was ready, but Zurg thought otherwise, saying that this time, he would carry out the task.

Another Battle

2 days later, Zurg deployed his Zurg Bots to find the Legion 5 and attack New York. Zurg then left himself, but not before degrading Elf King once more when Elf King asked if he was ready. The Zurg Bots found the Legion 5 at a school and found Konju in the towers. Zurg ordered the bots at the tower to destroy it by any means neccessary. From Times Square, Zurg fired a missile at the school, blowing it up. However, by the time he had fired it, everybody on the team had escaped the school. After realizing that the team was indeed alive, Zurg went down to the school and fought the team by himself, mocking the fact that only 4 of the team members were present to fight him. There he was indirectly informed by Pyro Kayron that Jeremy Walker also known as Animal Claws had perished in the explosion. Zurg fought the team and after taking lightning from Zach Soclin shot a rocket at his head and flew off. The blast was absorbed by Pyro Kayron who healed himself. Zurg flew to a coffee shop called Mike's Coffee and cause chaos there, killing at least 2 people and at least one of them an employee. After killing an employee, he was stopped by the Legion 5, including Jeremy, who had survived and escaped the building from the back. He was shot with a fireball in the head by Pyro Kayron, destroying the front of his helmet. He ditched the mask. After throwing a rock at Collin Toomy, he was stopped by Konju. Zurg found out that his bots had indeed succeded in destroying the tower, which upset the team. After punching Zach Soclin in the face, Pyro Kayron attempted to convince Zurg to stop, saying how he was only causing people to fear him. Zurg pretended to redeem himself and grabbed Pyro's hand but then threw Pyro aside, revealing his intentions. He then said that Zach would die but called him "Lightning Kid" Zach got up, exclaiming "It's Electric Boy!" electrocuting Zurg. Zach then threw a boulder at his head knocking him out in the coffee shop.

The Revenge of Zurg

Zurg was discovered 2 days after the battle in the coffee shop by construction workers salvaging items and trying to find any survivors. The worker Joe Smith found Zurg, mistaking him for a prop alien. Zurg woke up and shot Mike Johnson in the head. He then strangled Joe Smith, snapping his neck and escaped, using a NASA rocket ship. When he arrived back at the Eviltie Space Station, he was met by Elf King, who mocked him for failing as he had a week ago. Zurg was angered at the mocking. To prepare for his revenge, he decided to dispose of all the weak soldiers (by which he meant disabled and elderly Evilties) by putting them in a shredder. When Elf King commented on how the men served admirably when they could, Zurg simply commented on how they couldn't serve anymore and were therefore useless, watching them be shredded to death. Zurg then ordered Eviltie Scientist, Abraham Williams to make him a new suit and helmet to replace his old one. Williams made a fire resiliant suit with see through lenses. This time, Zurg decided to take on the team with no help and blasted off to Earth. He fought all 5 members of the team and Konju. The first three he only injured badly, but nothing permenant. He beat Konju up, causing him to go unconcious. He then dropped tons of rocks on Lucy knocking her out. He then strangeled Collin, causing him to pass out. Just as he was going to die, Kayron distracted Zurg to save his friend. Zurg knocked Kayron out with a piece of rock. He then went to Zach's room. Zach, who was distracted watching a children's show, had his right eye cut ot by Zurg and was thrown into the television, causing him to be knocked out. Jeremy then attacked Zurg, using his claws to stab through Zurg's armor. However, Zurg used this opportunity to cut off Jeremy's hand and throw him downstairs knocking him out. Zurg then left the Legion 5 Cave and aimed his rocket at it, planning to blow it up, which would kill everybody. Pyro got up however and used all his fire powers to destroy Zurg's weapon systems, including the rocket. However, this left him vulnerable. Zurg stabbed him and ripped his heart out, killing Pyro. Zurg then blasted off into space satisfied with his victory.

2007 - 2009
After killing Kayron, Stardom's reign was mostly stable. In 2009, he sent Elf King to recruit a new soldier on Earth. Elf King came back with a Russian pilot named Benjamin Fyr-Leknev. Stardom began training Fyr-Leknev.

2010s
Seeing an opportunity to destroy the Legion 5 through chaos, in 2011, when the United States along with the Legion 5 sent supplies to the distressed world of Korne, Stardom ordered Eviltie Forces to destroy them. On February 13, 2012, seeing an opportunity to start war, he ordered the captain of an Eviltie Ship, human Robert Kent (who was stationed above Korne to destroy incoming supplies) to have the supply jets crash into the ship's engine, causing it to crash on a Korne Relief Center. Kent escaped aboard an escape pod and later met with Stardom to tell him the attack was successful.

Three days later, on February 16, 2012, Stardom sent the Elf King to negotiate with the Korne. He instructed Elf King to blame the incident on the United States and Legion 5. Elf King did so and the Treaty of Korne was signed on February 21, 2012 by both Stardom and the Korne King Sikl. On March 18, 2012, the Korne Wars started.

Stardom didn't take part in any battles and commanded from his palace in Terin. In 2014, the war ended and Elf King was arrested. In August of 2014, Stardom became extremely ill but refused to give up his role as Zurg. As such, the Evilties were unorganized and split into factions. Stardom finally recovered in early 2018 and ordered the Evilties to reform.

In March 2019, after Elf King's escape from prison, Stardom ordered Elf King to initiate a purge on the Legion 5. Elf King's purge failed, and he returned to Terin defeated.

The Great Battle of 2020
Angry that his purge had failed, Stardom ordered Elf King back to New York. However, he also stated that Elf King should bring 1/4 of the Eviltie Military, to which Elf King agreed. Stardom decided to go too. There, he waited for the battle to begin. He then snuck into the Legion 5 Towers, hoping to find samples of each member's power, so he could make biological weapons to only affect them. While looking, he was notified by Elf King via hologram that the battle was lost and that he was ordering a retreat. Stardom ignored the transmission, instead making his way to the portal room. Initially confused as to what it was, Stardom then began searching the room when he was stopped by Konju. Stardom then drew a sword and lunged at Konju. Konju blocked Stardom's attack with his staff. Stardom and Konju then dueled until Konju knocked Stardom unconcious. Stardom was then sucked into the portal, which he had turned on during the duel, and was transported to an alternate dimension.

Personal Life
Stardom became a staunch supporter of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany during World War II. Although his religion prior to becoming an Eviltie was unknown, in 1951, he established the Official Eviltie Religion, also known as the Cult of OER, which preached that the Zurg was the immortal chosen one, and that he would rise and conquer the galaxy. Stardom believed himself to be the chosen Zurg.

Alternate Timelines
In the original timeline, Stardom's purge would be successful and the Legion 5 would go into hiding in 2020. Stardom would conquer Earth and rule it until at least 2044. In the second timeline, he got a similar result, as he did in the third.
