Eternal
The character is a member of Homo immortalis, a variant race of humanity created by the Celestials. They are scattered across Earth, but their headquarters lies in the city of Olympia, high in the mountains in Greece and folded into an echo dimension. Some live on Titan (a moon of Saturn) instead.
The Eternals live by three principles:
- Protect Celestials.
- Protect the Machine (a sentient A.I. deeply connected with the Earth).
- Correct excess deviation.
Only one hundred Eternals were originally created, and only two have been born since: Thanos and Eros. The character is either one of the lesser-known one hundred or a new Eternal brought to life through extraordinary means.
Through a ritual usually initiated by the Prime Eternal (their official leader), Eternals can be called to be part of a collective being known as the Uni-Mind.
Examples: Ikaris, Sersi, Sprite, Thanos, Thena.

History
The Eternals are an evolutionary offshoot of humanity gifted with amazing powers and abilities to look after the human race throughout the ages. One million years ago, the mysterious, epic beings known as Celestials created 100 Eternals plus 100 Deviants and left. Since then, the Eternals have lived secluded on Earth, rarely interfering with humanity, and being reborn whenever they perish.
After two devastating civil wars, the remaining Eternals of Earth chose a path of peace and dedicated their lives to bettering themselves and their society. The best example of what they can accomplish when working together is the power of the Uni-Mind, which is created when several Eternals join their will and intelligence together to temporarily become one powerful entity.
Throughout the millennia, the Eternals built great cities, including their current home, Olympia, which provided the setting for their meeting with the Olympians, the gods of Ancient Greece. After noticing the similarities between both species, they formed an alliance and the Eternals acted as the gods' representatives on Earth for a while. Recently, the Eternals went mad and turned against each other, while some committed suicide. They have since been revived and are slowly beginning to return to their peaceful ways.
