Ardra

Ardra is the sole incarnation of The First Dhava, as well as their de facto leader and thus, the most powerful being in existence, as well as the oldest and largest. He is approximately 3.4 trillion years old, roughly the same as the age of the universe, as he has existed in a consistent form since the beginning of time.

Physical description
Ardra is a dark black humanoid being with four arms and three (usually-closed) eyes. His skin is marked with several rigid, geometric cracks, which reveal an oscillating sea of color beneath his flesh; his eyes glow white, even though they are closed. He has three pairs of horns: the top (green and purple), the middle (red and yellow) and the bottom (blue and sky blue).

When his eyes do open, which typically only happens for just a collective few years out of every million, each begins to uncontrollably channel creation, preservation, and destruction (the life cycle of all things in the universe). His left eye spouts plants and other organic matter (creation), his center eye becomes a waterfall (preservation), and his right eye becomes a pillar of fire (destruction).

In his normal form, he is approximately 6 AU (approx. 558 million miles) tall, although when he manifests into a form able to interact with other divine beings, he can shrink down as short as 60 feet, although doing so stresses the energy of his body greatly and he can only hold smaller forms for short amounts of time.

Personality
Ardra is the most powerful of the Dhavas and will do anything to cement that position. Since the defeat of Samvada at the end of the Cosmic Shard War, Ardra has personally created and destroyed numerous universes from the transformed flesh of Samvada's body, with one planet built around the semi-conscious core of his soul and selected to be the home to the inhabitants of Paradise. However, Ardra's paradises were never as he desired; if he gave its inhabitants free will, they would act against his desires, but if he took it away from them, the world would become a stagnant wasteland that slowly died away. Earth is the most recent world created by Ardra.

Since the end of the Cosmic Shard War, the other Dhavas have either spent most of their time in meditation, or have taken mostly perfunctory jobs, due to Ardra's iron grip over his own domain. While some worked tiredly under Ardra (most notably Kaja),

Role
As the First Dhava, Ardra is the most powerful being in existence. However, his theoretical death, whether gradual or not, would result in a massive imbalance between the physical and spiritual worlds (largely due to the fact that he takes up around half of the total spiritual energy of all the Dhavas combined).
