Summary[]
Altera, also known as Terra, is the older sister of Arciene and no. 7 of the Hollow Apostle Lords. Like her sister, she possesses a deep connection to the planet; considered a Queen of the Undead, entitled the Hollow Princess of the Black Blood. Born as a hybrid between Hollow Apostle and Ancient Walker, Altera was the first Ancient Walker to ever hold the title of "Queen of the Undead”, so she could be called Arciene’s previous incarnation. She was born from the planet's machinations in searching out other methods for preparing a body of proper purity for its will, due to no regular Ancient Walker coming to possess its level of power. Despite being a possible successor to Gaia Prime, Merlin Saurunem and Blackwater Hawkenstein, Gaia’s personal servants, only held the later born Arciene as their master, considering Altera to be an imposter who must be killed. Once Kaido Bernstein stole power from Arciene and became a Hollow Apostle Lord, Altera decided to put him in his place, killing all the Plato scholars sans him. She at one point fought Arciene and gave her a deep scar during the battle. Van-Gon came to hold a grudge against her faction due to Vordt-blood’s own actions. She formed a contract with Zepar Ventus Laurence to turn him into the phenomenon “the Night of Valhalla” and she is close friends the Lady Apostle, Eclaire Naux Barthandelus. Along with at least six other Lords, she planned to attend the Aylesbury Valesti ritual to celebrate the birth of Pluto, the infant Lord.
Appearance[]
Altera has jet black hair compared to her white haired sister yet has the same red eyes. While in some art used for her depicts her with blue eyes, it is because she views the Breed of the Cosmos differently than other kin of the universe that her eye color changes. Despite being older than Arciene, she takes the form of a 15-year-old girl, and sometimes appears as a boy.
Personality[]
Altera is very prideful and regal in tone. She refers to Arciene as “baby sister”, as they are 1,000 years apart, even referring to her affectionately after their fight. She may have a “little sister complex” as she fought Arciene simply to “mark her” as her own, meaning Altera wanted all to know that her sister is “hers”. She even slaughtered the majority of Plato, killing all of the scholars because on scholar (Kaido) drunk the blood of her sister, blood that “belongs to her”. While Arciene is symbolized with healthy life such as planets and animals, Altera is surrounded by death, dying plants, and living skeletons.

Notable Attacks and Techniques[]
Ancient Walker - Zombified beings akin to natural disasters (i.e. hurricanes, tsunamis, storms, etc.). These are the original hollows, beings reanimated by Gaia to cull humankind. Ancient Walkers are planet-class spirits whose power manifests as phenomena or events such as the Great Flood, simultaneous volcanic eruptions, drastic climate change, etc. In more extreme cases there are examples of raining mountain. They however have a crucial flaw - a taste for human flesh.
- Transforming beings into hollows - Ancient Walkers are the Undead Ancestors, the originators of Hollowkind. By biting any living creature, the creature slowly will zombify an individual as a hollow. It is even shown that being scratched too much by a hollow will carry the same result.
- Blood of Hollows - Known as the Ancient Blood, it is tainted blood that immediately kills and reanimates those that consume it as zombies. It is faster to become a hollow by consuming their blood rather than being bitten. In Altera’s case, those who drank her blood become Hollow Apostles due to her royal blood, retaining their human appearance and intelligence.
Hollow Apostle - Hollow that retained its human appearance and intelligence as the result of some form of evolution. Apostles are highly intelligent beings and are stronger than ordinary hollows. They gain the power to interfere with reality and physics, replacing them with their own laws. Those twenty-eight Apostles that established great civilizations are the Lords.
- Regeneration - Altera can resist all physical damage, regardless of scale, due to existing in separate laws entirely. Attacks with something other than conceptual properties will not have an effect as she is a phase, a conceptual “layer” applied to the world, all by herself. It is also known that the top 10 lords of the hollow apostles can not be killed by ordinary methods, since those who live in fantasy can only be overcome by a stronger fantasy.
- Claws - Altera transforms her nails into blades. Repeated exposure to scratches from these claws will cause one to become hollow.
- Transformation - Altera has a stronger combat form which is apparently an adult body.
- Creation Marble - the power of all Hollow Apostles and Daemons, as well as certain Magicians. It is the ability to replace the the world with your inner world, essentially implating the world and its laws within yourself and your world expands outside of you. This refers to the mere transferral of laws, rather than literally space itself being moving.
- Marble Emanation is the ability to encroach upon reality itself much like ink within water, replacing all potential concepts and laws to that of their inner world dictated by the practitioner. No matter how small or large the space, the World Marble will continuously expand until it had incorporated all into its domain. The power of Marble Emanation used by Altera is not yet known.
The ritual of creating Valhalla - by means of a blood ritual, Altera gave a human the ability to complete immateriality of hollowfication and incorporation of others into his domain. Therefore the formation of Einherjar - legion of hundreds of billions of undead, is only possible through Altera’s blood.
Cosmic Eyes for Communication with the Breed - Altera’s blue eyes are different from her usual red in that they allow her to communicate and cooperate with the Breed of the Cosmos, granting her eldritch knowledge and the ability to summon some members of the species as familiars.
Also accompanying Altera are four bodyguards all within the first 10 rankings of Lords.
Primate Emperor - Feline-like beast created by the planet to rule humanity as the original King of Humans once did. Has absolute authority over humans, a power nearing that of Gaia herself. She only listens to her master, Altera, meaning Altera has absolute authority over humanity, a power no being has ever gotten close to, not even Saurunem, King of Humans, to an arguable extent. The Emperor of Primates is ranked first, having been established as the most powerful.
Eien Wol - Number VI of the Lords; bodyguard to Lady Altera. He is immune to temporal abilities, owing his immortality to being “unbound by all concepts of time”.
Vordt-Blood - Number IX of the Lords; advisor to Lady Altera. Captain of the Boreal Knights, owns the Creation Marble known as the Boreal Dynasty, which completely freezes all things, including the laws of physics and certain laws of magic making them inapplicable in his domain.
