Vril'Ya

The Vril'Ya are an ancient race of beings that inhabited the Earth long before the dawn of Man. They ruled the planet from a city that floated above the water known as Atlantis. However, the very first Element 115 meteor to enter the Earth shattered the city into pieces, plummeting Atlantis to the depths of the oceans. Not many of the Vril'Ya survived, and most of those that did became corrupted by Element 115, turning evil. The corrupted Vril'Ya remain beneath the sea in the ruins of Atlantis, waiting to be awakened.

Coming to Earth and Atlantis
While the creatures of Earth remained dormant, the Vril'Ya transported their civilization to Earth to flee from an unknown evil. From there, using their near magical powers, they were able to create an extremely advanced city that floated above the Atlantic Ocean. Using their power of the "Vril", they managed to create extremely powerful weapons and technologies unlike any Earth has ever seen.

Destruction of Atlantis & Corruption
Atlantis was destroyed in an unknown date by a meteor of Element 115 crashing into the city, plummeting it to the sea beneath it. The initial impact of the meteor killed most of the Vril'Ya, but the remaining Vril'Ya were plummeted into the sea alongside Atlantis. The Vril'Ya that survived would eventually become corrupted, and would remain in the ruins of Atlantis in stasis, waiting to be awakened when the Earth is ready to be re-inhabited. One survivor, however, awakened from his sleep and decided to further the collapse of human civilization so that the Vril'Ya would be able to awaken and retake control of the Earth.
