Powers and abilities

Elysius is an artificially created being patterned on and possessing the attributes of the long-lived offshoot of humanity called the Eternals. She has superhuman stamina, and her strength, speed, and durability are higher than that of a human. Elysius possesses an extremely long lifespan and immunity to all terrestrial diseases.

Elysius has limited telepathic abilities of an unrevealed nature. She keeps griffin-like creatures which obey her telepathic commands.

She uses an alien hand-weapon capable of disrupting force fields or of firing energy of an unspecified nature as bursts of concussive force. ISAAC crafted her personal sky-ship which resembles an ancient Earth galleon but possesses the capacity of flight.
