Two thousand years ago, we existed solely for destruction. We were the first of our kind, we ruled with an iron fist that no one questioned, the Shinobi were our mortal enemies and did everything in their power to stop us. They failed. Every attempt to crush us, to rid the world of what we were, ended in failure. Our strength was unmatched and our skin impenetrable, the robed curs fell beneath our teeth, only empowering us further. We were the first of the Serpentine race, born from a creature that no longer exists in our world, or the next. At this time we did not go by this pitiful and weak name. No, back then we were called the Ophidian's, gods among men. Thousands of us could freely roam Earth, but only seven of us truly held great power. Six "generals" and myself, the leader of them all. I answered to no one but our mother, until she disappeared, and I held our kingdom together. We knew not what fear was for nothing could penetrate our defenses, Humans and Shinobi alike met their end at our hands, we devoured with a never ending hunger. But we were not mindless. Not like these human are, masters of strategy, we lured our prey and struck. Even in face to face confrontations our power could not be matched. We collected trophies of war, whether it be the blade of a fallen enemy, or their very flesh, we made sure our enemy knew who we were. We had everything we could have possibly wanted, and more. We thrived off the fear of others, grew stronger in their presence, and when we ate, our very core grew with it. Then something happened, some devious and monstrous force enveloped our entire world, it was black, blacker than night. Even with our combined power we were unable to break free of its grasp and we disappeared, forever. Or so we thought.
It was a world where we could not feast, could not satiate our hunger, where fear did not exist for us to thrive off of. It angered us, all of us, and we could not find a way out. There was no name for this dimension, for this world that we now lived in. Not even the Shinobi knew of it, but we dubbed it Pandora's box. We thought ourselves unconquerable, undefeatable, but whatever this thing was, it now contained all the evil in the world. We were the embodiment of of evil, we knew no good. Only treachery, destruction, and murder. But now we could not even do that. Until now. The bonds have weakened, and our escape is near. Once again we will roam the world, take our place back on the throne, and rid the world of these pathetic humans. The Shinobi will know fear once again as we crush the villages they have built, this throne they think they sit upon, calling themselves 'ninja'. We Ophidian's will show these insufferable curs what a ninja really is, how death feels, what it means to be a god. We. Will. Rule.

Pandora's Box - An appropiately dubbed dimension, although its origins are unknown and knowledge of its existence void to all, it has contained these Ophidian for over two millenia. An 'item' so powerful that if its use was learned by a powerful individual, they could rule over all three worlds. Currently its seals are breaking and the generals are forcing their entity through it. Once it shatters, a new hell will be leashed upon Earth.
Ophidian - The original Serpent's, the first of their kind. Although they claim to be all powerful, they can be killed by powerful individuals and those brave enough to face the monstrous creatures. Ophidian are not monstrous beings, they look like human beings, with the exception of some of them who might look snake-like ( Orochimaru ). Their powers are unknown and highly dangerous, approaching them head on will be near suicide.
The Serpent - The current leader of the Serpent's, leads his entire army and marches onto Earth in order to conquer it. Although his true name is unknown, he is referred to by any type of serpentine names, he is known by most as " The Serpent " Currently his powers are unknown, and his level of strength remains a mystery to even his generals.
The Executioner - Deemed an executioner by the Serpent, for two millenia they have been in charge of beheading any who revolted against the Serpent's, or embarrassed their race. Wielding a massive weapon and standing nearly eleven feet high, their face usually cloaked or concealed with a helm, they swing with such force the ground cracks without the blade even touching it. Purely strength based, they don't rely on any high speed movements or energy blasts. Instead, they rely simply on their weaponry and its cutting power, capable of cleaving even the strongest of defenses, any souls destroyed by his blade only add to their power.
Bushido - An Ophidian that mimics a Samurai in appearance, with a serpentine tinge. A menacing monster who may intimidate even the most fearsome of warriors, following a code of honor that again, mimics that of a Samurai, they will fight with endless power. Although their jutsu abilities aren't on par with the others, they can mimic the sword and hakuda techniques used by others, adding a serpent-like fury to them to increase their damage or alter them slightly. They fight to the very last breath.
Dreadnaught - The Dreadnaught are strategic and tactical genius', They pale in comparison to their comrades but their brains more than make up for it, energy attacks become useless while around the dreadnaught, their armor designed to absorb them and release them in a reversed torrent of shredding power. A massive walking suit of armor, towering above most at around seven feet, they are constantly analyzing their enemies movements and attacks in order to best find a defense or counter for them.
Women in White - Because of their appearance they are referred to only as 'the women in white' those who come in contact with her usually do not live long enough to report back with a true name. They are capable of taking on any form they wish, reading the minds and memories of the souls she's devoured and with the assistance of necromany, forcing them to fight people of their past ( NPCing ), even utilizing their powers. The women are also believed to control blood and the human anatomy, but no proof has ever been provided.
Alliances:
Uchiha - Perhaps the most infamous clan in the world currently and righteously blamed for a significant number of all the worst things to happen in it, the current Uchiha are but a shadow of their former selves. As all those gifted with exceptional measures of the clan talents inevitably went mad, causing untold amounts of destruction before being destroyed themselves, those of lesser gifts also suffered less of the uncontrollable rage that came with it. Two millenia after the Ophidian age, the Uchiha name commands trust and a measure of respect, without their allies constantly fearing betrayal, lead by the powerful _____ Uchiha
Senju - The Senju clan gained their fame in the era during the founding of the hidden villages. Where other clans focused on mastering one particular skill, the Senju were masters in all skills, from ninjutsu, to taijutsu, to genjutsu. Because of this, they were feared as "the clan with a thousand skills" which gave them their name Senju ( "a thousand skills", "a thousand hands" ). Throughout the years since the Ophidian age, the members of the clan strongly held to the Will of Fire philosophy and they helped build the village to the standard it is now. Before the clan could reach its full power, the older respected leaders died and it became ruled by a mentally unstable leader, Kai Senju.
Phantom - Gods of the void. Currently none can match their knowledge of the darkness. Throughout the years, they have known to be masters at gathering intel. They are currently ruled by the infamous zeeden.
