Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

[Skallagrim]

This is a place to deposit your NoW Multiverse Characters. Please use the format below and read the tier ratings to understand where your character belongs.

Character Sheets for the Multiverse:

To begin playing, submit a character of your creation in the format detailed below.

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Race:

Random descriptors: As it sounds, the very basics are simply stated here, such as height, weight, eye color etc.

Character Tier: Low, Intermediate, or High.

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant, Non-Critical Character/Secondary Character or Background Character.

Physical Description: Describe your character's usual appearance in more detail here. This includes attire, as much as how they walk, their mannerisms, and so forth. Remember that if your character's physical appearance radically changes, then you will need to submit a new profile for reference purposes.

Personality Description: What motivates and drives your character—money, morals, power, love? What kind of person are they? What's their goal? How does their mind tick?

Skills, powers and abilities: List and justify your powers in this section, and list their Level. Detail, justification, creativity and attention to detail are all paramount. If you simply write out 'I have Big Bang attack!!!' then we shall not accept it. There is no limit to the number of abilities you may possess, however you should stick to the general theme of your character, and Judges will review the unity of powers.

Character Equipment: What items does your character carry? You must describe how you obtained them, and if your explanation is deemed to be unrealistic, the equipment might be removed from you but may be “found” in the Multiverse. All equipment must be listed with their corresponding Power Level Low, Medium or High given.

Character History: Write a little bit about your characters past.

While there are tiers to delineate power rankings among characters, the rules specifically state that there is an equality of posts. However that equality of posts falls under each classification of character tier.

Thus Low tier characters have an equality of posts, however if a Low and Intermediate character decide to fight there is an inequality of a +1 prep advantage given to the Intermediate character. If the same Low tiered character decides to fight a High tiered character there is an inequality of +2 prep advantage given to the High tiered character.

What does this mean? It means a Low vs. Intermediate requires at least one prepped action to affect the Intermediate character, and conversely his normal attacks act as a one prepped attack.

The same goes for a High tier character; they have either a +2 or +1 prepped action against either a Low or Intermediate character.

This system is used to delineate the power differences between characters. This of course does not mean that a group of Low tier characters cannot attack and defeat an Intermediate or High tier character. It just means that they will have to act in concert to do so.

While it recommended that equal tiers face each other in combat, there will be times when lower tiered characters will attack Non-Critical characters, such as Kings, or Leaders of other player created worlds and they will necessarily be Intermediate or even High tiered.

Low, Intermediate and High Tier Comparison Chart: Use this chart to place your character powers and equipment.

Low || This is the general human level, encompassing the power attainable by the average Joe and is limited to the most basic of technological weapons, like guns, crossbow and knives—maybe even a scooter if in the wrong hands.

Human abilities at their peak, but still nothing overtly supernatural. Examples would be a genius IQ, very minor spell-casting ability (I’m talking sparking dried brush into flame). Technological objects such as laser guns fall under this level.

Genetic, cybernetic, divine or magical enhancements that allow you to run as fast as a sports car, jump anime style, or bench three-hundred pounds without breaking a sweat—as well as other physical modifications of that level. Dexterity level equal to an expert marksman, low level psionics and spellcasting ability, super-genius intelligence quotient and martial arts master are other examples of Low rating abilities. Equipment falls under the same range of power.

Intermediate || Examples of Intermediate powers and abilities include Mad Scientist level genius and scientific ability, long ranged telepathy, magical powers that to not involve a divine patron, and the ability to shoot flaming bats with magic arrows of light without the aide of that damnable fairy partner. In general, the range of ability to be expected from a Jedi Padawan of Star Wars or a Gennin Ninja of Naruto—as well as the use of cybernetics, alchemy, and so on to simulate any of that.

The basics of nano technology capable of regenerating minor wounds, or alternatively wizardry or clerical ability capable of the same. You can pilot your own short range star fighter and have access to technology so advanced as to be almost magical in nature. The ability to fly for any reason you can think of that makes any rudimentary amount of plot logic. Your character may have the reflexes and skills of an elite Jedi Knight, the speed of Saito Hajime, and the power to take down Trinity of The Matrix with ease.

The ability to heal major damage taken bother personally, or by others, through the method of your choice. The charisma and influence necessary to muster an army of elite soldiers, and access to the technology needed to build and operate a small space craft capable of interstellar travel (or a magic dragon from the future, whatever floats your boat). Your powers and skills rival those of Gandalf the White, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Himura Kenshin at their best.

High || Personal shielding and an Imperial Star Destroyer for a flagship; computer expertise that can take down Borg Cubes, and you may have weapons so slick and high tech that they make the ladies hot and bothered. You can distort space-time at will with your magic, enough so to influence events worlds or even light years away, and your physical strikes can no longer even be seen. Armies of grizzled veterans--wearing too much steel to stand up on their own—will carry your banner to war and ride really expensive looking horses across the battlefield. You could out gun an Agent in the Matrix or beat him down with your martial arts, and powers and abilities compare to Mace Windu of Star Wars, Ultimecia Final Fantasy, and Hyuuga Ricdeau of Xenogears.

The firewalls of the Death Star and Magi Supercomputers fall with ease before your unbeatable hacking skills. You can repair lost limbs and destroyed vital functions expediently. Your powers can cut down small armies, and shield you from the effects of nuclear weapons. You are no longer merely limited to visiting other worlds and epochs from afar, but may now visit them personally. Powers are of comparable scale to Marvel’s Magneto and Doctor Strange.

Not Open for Play at This Time:

Composite Beings|| That your powers rank less then omnipotent and have finite energy requirements are essentially your only restrictions at this point.

Universal Abstract Entity || Anything becomes possible within the restraints of the rules of the forum and common sense.

As far as characters and abilities go, let your imagination free, as long as it isn't too ridiculous. i.e. No conjuring black holes and throwing galaxies…because if I have to explain why, don’t apply.

[Skallagrim]

Full name: Skallagrim
Title: Cughtagh, the Walker Between Worlds.
Race: Xindhi
Age: Ageless

Random Descriptors:
Height: 6’5” Weight 210

Character Tier: High.

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant,

Physical Description: Skallagrim is tall and skeletal, standing a little over 6 and a half feet tall. His eyes glow with a hideous amethyst light. His face is covered with only his eyes showing. He wears the dusky black plate and mail of the Cughtagh and Aeryn, the queens own explorers and bodyguards. He wears the crimson lined heavy cloaks that signify a Champion and rarely reveals his form unless he has a measure of respect for his opponent..

Personality: Cold and aloof, he has very little patience for most beings. He is a good ally and better friend but he has few of those. He is the favored Walker Between Worlds of the Dreaming Queen, traveling through the vast multiverse seeking experiences and understanding for the eternal sleeper. Though he is a loyal subject, he has his own desires to dream a place where he can become flesh and blood again to marry and raise a family free of war and strife. Indeed since the multiverse is a strange place where the impossible is limited only by the desire to challenge it, his dream may yet come true.

Skills, powers and abilities:

Inherent Powers:

(Intermediate) Being Xindhi, when damaged he can slowly regenerate himself, however the extent of the damage dictates the amount of time it takes him to reassemble. However even Xindhi regenerative power is limited as overwhelming damage, either magical or physical can be more than the regeneration process can handle. Healing only happens when out of combat. Surprisingly he is able to move with grace and agility. He has the increased strength bestowed upon him by the very nature of the Xindhi, equal to 20 human men, (able to lift/press roughly 2,600 pounds).

(Intermediate) He can summon his shadow mount by touching his necklace and calling it from the dreaming realms, the space between worlds via his galdhr mastery.

(High) Inherent Skills: He is a master of sword combat as well as close-quarter-combat skills involving both weapon and weaponless combat techniques. Having trained through the aeons of existence in these styles.

Xindhi Esoteric Powers, the Galdhr and Seidhr, Patterns of Aesr (Resonance).

What are the patterns of Aesr? According to the Gothi of the Xindhi, the whole universe is composed Aesr, the energy of life, both seidhr (visible) and galdhr (invisible).

The Aesr is the energy that courses through everything. It is the electromagnetic surge that is the firing discharges between synapses that produce thoughts in the brain; the impulses that race through nerve endings and is the aura that surrounds all creatures. Since all living animals and plants have the aura, they have some aspect of Aesr residing within them.

Why is it called the Patterns of Aesr? The patterns of aesr refer to the vibrational energy that resonates and emits from all living creatures. It is this pattern, this thrum of life that weaves its way through the multiverse and can be felt, tracked and manipulated by anyone who has learned the twins aspects of aesr. Aesr manipulation provides control over more conventional paradigms, such as the origin of life, consciousness, the observable laws of probability, and the nature of subjective experience. Aesr creates a shared experience between the user and those who are recipients of the effects, be it a living organism or an area where a discharge of vibrational energy (aesr) imprints itself into the landscape. These events are called occurrences. Occurrences are recorded in the vibrational patterns of the aesr and it can be drawn upon at a later date and “replayed” for understanding. Those skilled in aesr are adept at reading the events, the occurrences of experience to glean understanding of their surroundings.

(This is also know commonly in real world magical theory as the principles of Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm and Causation.)

So aesr refers to a collective field of consciousness (resonance/vibration) that manifests in any perspective, context or occurrence Aesr can also be referred to as self-moments which organize themselves as a holos ( a Greek word meaning whole) or complete occurrences that are imprinted in the greater whole of the multiverse. A holo is both a part within a larger whole and an individual event comprised of smaller parts of separate events or occurrences. Thus the occurrence exists as a unique event within a larger collective; and the occurrence also exists as the larger collective within which the individuals experiencing the event in question exists. The Multiverse is an example of a holos, or a whole system and every holos we are aware of is a part of this larger holos.

So what is the seidhr? It is the manipulation of the aesr energy that becomes the bodies of all living creatures and plant life. At the end of the cycle of all things; the solids, the liquids and the gasses all melt and coalesce into the aesr again. This is part of the law of the conservation of energy. Those adept at manipulation of seidhr can convert energy of aesr from one form to another, but the energy itself cannot be created or destroyed. Seidhr created effects are usually seen along the electromagnetic spectrum.
Since the adept possess aesr within themselves, they can convert their own energies to create effects from energy on the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes radio waves, visible light, electricity, magnetism, microwaves, and radiation. They can also draw the energy from other objects and creatures via electrostatic induction. By creating an electrical field of their seidhr, an adept can create some immense effects.

(Intermediate) Seidhr Sense- At the most basic level, the adept can sense different forms of energy, "seeing" up and down the EM spectrum. This ability is the basic "senses" of the adept, they can "hear" and detect sound waves. They can see in the infra, ultra and visible spectrum of light as well as x-rays. While seemingly powerful it is limited by objects which can obscure their vision. An adept can also spread their senses across the EM spectrum, they can search for specific objects or creatures as they extend their senses to look in the various parts of the EM spectrum at once! The adept senses everything going on along the entire electro-magnetic spectrum. The greater the mastery of the seidhr the greater the range the adept has.

At this most basic training he can infuse the “runes” on his sword with some aspect of the EM Spectrum.

(Intermediate) Seidhr Induction- This ability allows the adept to create an induction field around them that can fuel their other abilities. An adept can overload or shut down electrical equipment, jam radio signals, bend or negate light, create shimmering images that “ghost” around them and other similar effects.

By generating a field of electrical energy they can create these effects which can be expanded to encompass a radius out to a minimum range of 300 meters effectively. Further mastery increases the range by a 1000-fold every level of mastery, and it can only obscured by objects hardened or capable of defeating this field. This induction field allows the adept to use their powers in a nearly limitless manner as they are not using their own aesr to fuel their effects, rather the electrical field is drawing energy from the area and converting it for use by the adept.

At the next level of mastery this field is 300,000 meters in size, then 300,000,000 meters etc.

(Intermediate) Seidhr Projection- An adept can project bolts of pure energy, generate electricity, electromagnetic pulses, and so forth. The adept at this point of control begins the transform of their body into pure energy, losing the flesh and becoming skeletal, only powered by their aesr. They no longer eat, sleep or breath and begin losing their humanity. The now flesh-stripped bones are wrapped in the energy signature of the aesr, creating a haunting skeletal being laced with energy tendrils. The adept loses the ability to emphasize with others, and begins seeing and experiencing events that are imprinted in the holos. This loss of flesh is the price of power paid by those adept at using the aesr.

(High) Seidhr Manipulation- The adept can control and manipulate the equivalent electrical power of a small city. They can shed enough light to see for miles. They can drain the heat of an entire forest fire, and convert it to another form of energy. An adept can also suck all the light and sound out of an area and transforming it into heat, the adept then can cause an area within their aspect of control to suddenly burst into all-consuming flames. There are a host of things that an adept can do that at this level that make them dangerous. This coupled with the induction field can create a living dynamo of immense proportions, capable of incredible feats based on the electromagnetic spectrum of energy.

(High) Seidhr Generation- The adept has full control of the energies of the electromagnetic spectrum, generating its various energy fields at will. The induction of energy at this level of mastery is incredible, adepts are like living stars, able to create explosions powerful enough to devastate a planet via scalar wave discharges of energy. Their mastery also allows them to focus on individual particles or waves of energy. An adept at this level can affect a planet or planetary system with their power. With time the atmosphere of a planet can be sucked away or can be ignited to burn everything a chaotic gaseous explosion.

Just as the visible universe is composed of seidhr, the Xindhi Gothi claim that the unseen universe is made of galdhr.

So what is galdhr? Galdhr is the unseen and unsensed dark energy universe. All matter and energy exists in the multiverse and while the visible universe is felt and manipulated by the seidhr. The dark energy can only be sensed by thrum of its patterns, which can be heard, can be felt, can be controlled by galdhr. At the end of the cycle of all things unseen and in the “dark” universe, the dark energy solids, liquids and the gasses all melt and coalesce into the galdhr again. This again is part of the law of the conservation of energy.

Adepts have the ability to sense the dark energy at the most basic and fundamental levels. This "sense" coupled with the ability to "see" along the electromagnetic spectrum is what gives the adept their perceptive senses of the multiverse.

(Intermediate) Galdhr Sense- The adept can sense dark energy and its various and often frightening fluctuations. Among other things, they can sense when others are manipulating this dark energy, and the lingering effects of such manipulations. While perhaps not able to identify the exact nature of the manipulation, the energy signature can be used to trace it back the source. When any magical effect is attempted within the adepts range they may detect the weaving of the etheric threads, i.e. magical energies via this method as it deals with energies that natural seidhr senses would not detect.

(Intermediate) Adepts can create a “mount” from the same foamy dark material, which are often skeletal in appearance and shimmer and shift in and out of reality. These mounts cannot exist in the visible world without focus by the adept. This ability is taught once an Adept has learned to “see” dark energies, as their focus for further understanding of how and why dark energies make up 95.1% of the entire multiverse.

(Intermediate) Galdhr Impression- The adept has a strong sense of spatial relationships and can sense nearby "dark space" without using the normal five senses. The adept can also detect the presence of any spatial anomalies, because of the displacement of dark energy. This perceptive ability can detect things like “worm holes” between dimensions. The adept can detect the sudden displacement of objects into "dark space" out to a minimum range of 300 meters effectively.

As with seidhr perception further mastery increases the range by a 1000-fold every level of mastery. At the next level of mastery this field is 300,000 meters in size, then 300,000,000 meters etc.

(Intermediate) Galdhr Insight- The perception of tracing the dark energy particles as they interact with gravity allows the adept the ability sense the pull of gravity waves. Thus they can detect the displacement caused by objects as they move. The less massive the object, the more difficult it is to detect. (All objects "fall" and this rate of fall and the interaction of dark energy is what is observed by the adept.) Thus a human walking across the face of the earth can be detected by their rate of fall in relation to the gravitational center of the earth. This insight is the basis of how an adept travels between worlds and dimensions as they simply follow the gravity trails along the dark energy paths.

Because of the Galdhr insight ability an adept can easily translate their perceptions into accurate measurement units such as amperage, volts etc. This ability of quantification includes kinetic energy, which allows an adept to determine an object's speed in relation to them if they know the mass.

(High) Galdhr Manipulation- The adept can manipulate dark energy particles to "fuel" the creation of matter or energy out of the unseen multiverse. An adept of Galdhr Manipulation can also change how certain elements interact with other elements through infusion of dark energy or matter. He can make one element unable to interact with another element, he can create material that's insubstantial to certain substances. Thus a sword can pierce body armor or could pass through the epidermis without breaking it. The adept can also make matter take on the properties of some other matter or take on entirely new properties, so a piece of matter could be made superconductive, incredibly strong and somewhat ductile, despite originally being a sheet of paper.

The adept at this level can essentially create a “things” out of "nothing." One of the most commonly created objects are the dreaming gates. It is via these gates that the adept can travel between worlds and dimensions. Travel between dimensions is dangerous and the traveler can easily get lost by the rapidly changing nature of the space between worlds. The dark universe is a type of “foam” that bubbles and vanishes in such rapidity that it seems as if they never had existed at all. Travel along this foam which can be viewed as a torus in space that intersects with all spaces and times in the multiverse. The dark foam folds and twists and provides "paths" which can be ridden between dimensions. An adept cannot walk between worlds until they have mastered this level of control.

(High) Galdhr Understanding- The adept can “read” and “imprint” experiences in the vast dark energy multiverse. This makes use of the incalculable energy that resides in the unseen multiverse as a repository of knowledge. While seidhr imprints exist in the visible world, an aesr adept often scribes messages, histories or other information within the dark universe. This is akin to the akashic records theory of a vast database of cosmic knowledge and experiences accessible by those who know how. This is the Grand Master level of Galdhr control. A Grand Master of the Galdhr can affect things on a planetary scale easily.

A Grand Master can connect their psyches with any other Dreamer living or dead, even those in the stasis of Slumber. By doing so they can harness the experiences of the Dreamer to better understand a current problem. Grand Masters can connect too many Dreamers, but the more they connect too, the greater chance they will enter the Slumber themselves as their energies become entwined with those of others.

The idea of the Seidhr and Galdhr is comprised in the saying of Hermes Trismegistus, "As Above, So Below" . The visible and invisible universe work in conjunction to create the greater whole. Mastery of both aspects of Aesr allows an adept incredible powers over creation.

While all Xindhi have Aesr as part of their structure and form, not all Xindhi are skeletal horrors. The more adept and powerful the user is the less human-like they look until they are ghastly skeletal beings with the Aesr evident in their skulls and coursing along their bones in arcs and flashes of energy. Naturally if a Xindhi no longer uses or employs the Aesr they will slowly revert back to their flesh forms over a number of months until they are fully flesh and blood again.

Limitations to Powers:Limitations: If pushed beyond their limits, Dreamers will begin slowing and ultimately falling into what is called the Slumber. They will not wake until 12 hours minimum have passed in which their bodies have recouped lost energies. Some Grand Masters have Slumbered for several of Eons.

Character Equipment: His sword and dagger also confer some powers to him.

(High) His sword Keefe is a war sword. The 36” long black blade is nicked and notched through years of use, the heavy steel hilt has runes carved into it from a language long forgotten, the 8” handle allows for both a single or two-handed grip. The sword is 44” long giving him a very effective reach. The runes allow for aesr effects to be enacted upon the sword, creating a thin sheen of seidhr that rides as a shimmering glow a few millimeters above the actual blade. The seidhr-enhanced sword can affect preternatural creatures as easily as it can slice through armor plate.

(High) His dagger Rhiannon is wide with its blade measuring 17” long and two inches wide, the blade is shrouded in a black pulsating mist that seems to have a life of its own. The thick 5” handle is covered in hide from an animal that only legends only speak of. The pulsating mist is an aspect of galdhr with a simple thought from Skallagrim the dagger can transform into a shield of dark energy/matter. This shield can blunt energy and preternatural forces as easily as it can mundane.

He has red flared gauntlets and red thigh-high boots folded over so the flap rides just under the knees. Around his waist rests a thick, wide blue leather belt and a strange tetrahedron as the buckle. He wears a three-quarter navy blue mask covering his face, leaving the jaw and mouth uncovered with white colored panels where his eyes would be. On his chest is a single white star, surrounded by a red border.
Personality Description: Driven protector whose has chosen to become the champion of the billions of humans on Alternate Earth. As such he is willing to face any threat to protect his home world. Not cocky, but he has a cool confidence that some find annoying as he is supremely confident in his own abilities and powers.

Skills, powers and abilities:

Known Powers: Zero-Point Energy manipulation-

ZPE-Physical Alterations: His muscles and bones have become much denser than an average human being, adding nearly 300 lbs. of muscle to his body, adding a foot of height to his frame. As he gains experience with his powers they grow and develop over time.

(Intermediate) Super-human strength: Dead lift 50 short tons. Thunder Clap- General Freedom can generate immense pressure in the air by clapping his hands together. The force is enough to hurt unprotected people, and can break windows and cause minor structural damage to buildings. This does not affect hard targets such as buildings or soft targets like cloth or malleable oozes. Only living things and brittle targets are affected, radius is 60 meters.

(Intermediate) Super-human stamina: Heal rate is five-times a normal human beings, by using ZPE he can actually regenerate bone, muscle and soft tissue damage. General Freedom can participate in several (6-7) triathlons in a row before starting to tire. His life span has increased to 180+ years as his body slows down the aging process to a virtual crawl.

ZPE- Powers: These powers General Freedom gained from the Zero-Point Energy that fuels his body.

(Intermediate) The bolt has a range 4,828 meters or 15,840 feet at the speed of 7,690 feet per second, with the kinetic impact of 360 tons of TNT. General Freedom can regulate the kinetic impact from a gram of TNT to its maximum potential and anywhere along that spectrum.

(Intermediate) ZPE- Shield: With the ability to create a shield, General Freedom can blunt both natural and preternatural damage to some extent. This shield can parry or block incoming attacks. This shield powers up using ZPE to meet and match incoming attacks, at its most basic it can withstand a 120 mm tank shell at point blank range. By fueling the shield with ZPE he can increase the protective value.

(Intermediate) ZPE-Shield effect: Cage- General Freedom can create a ZPE cage to imprison opponents. It does no damage but requires strength of force equal to the charges placed on it to break free of. The cage is made of blue-black ZPE energies and hums and sparks. Range is 250 meters.

(Intermediate0 ZPE-Shield effect: Bubble- General Freedom can create a shimmering blue-black semi-transparent sphere/hemisphere around a target. This bubble can protect or harm a target within it. If doing damage, the equivalent of 2 tons of kinetic impact will press on the target per tier ranking. It takes an equal charge to break free or resist the damage of the bubble. Range is 1,000 meters.

(Intermediate) ZPE- Second Skin: General Freedom can harden the air molecules around him by charging the air with ZPE. This creates a layer of armor roughly an inch from his body surrounding him. This armor can blunt normal and preternatural forces. This armor can stop a 120 mm tank round at point blank range. Every moment charging adds strength to the layers of the armor.

(Intermediate ) ZPE- Flight: General Freedom can defy gravity and fly.General Freedom’s maximum flying speed in an atmosphere is 1,750 mph. By channeling all his ZPE and focusing it into his speed, he is capable of breaking Earth’s gravitational pull, reaching a speed of 17,500 mph.

Abilities/Skills: Sniper, Breaching, Surreptitious Entry, Electronic and Media Exploitation, Technical Surveillance, High Threat Protective Security (PSD), Advanced Weapons Training, Advanced Driving Skills (Urban/Rural/Security), Advanced Climbing/Rope Skills, Advanced Air Operations: HALO/HAHO/Jumpmaster/Parachute Rigger and Packer, Diving Supervisor, Foreign Weapons, Advanced Special Operations.

General Freedom is an expert in MCMAP, the Marine Corp Martial Arts- equal to a black belt. He is well versed in general CQB training, both with and without firearms and is a Tier 1 operator equivalent. He is a dedicated practitioner of Escrima both in single and double stick/knife, practicing in the Philippines as often as he can. General Freedom also has trained with Jorge De la Cruz, renowned boxing trainer out of Panama, learning boxing techniques in order to round out his martial arts expertise.

Limitations: General Freedom has normal human weakness regarding the need for air, food, water. Although his physiology is much greater than any normal human being is, he does tire after extended periods of maximum exertion. General Freedom in the past has been susceptible to magical effects, especially those regarding dark or negative energy. However, it is unknown, if those effects were able to overcome his ZPE or he simply was unfamiliar with them and hence was unable to formulate a proper defense to them.

Weapons: None.

Equipment:

(High) Tetrahedron of Transport ToT: During a fight with the notorious villain Red Mercury, General Freedom obtained the Tetrahedron of Transport. The Tetrahedron allows General Freedom to venture across the multiverse, by adjusting the movable sides so that a different series of symbols align to a corresponding gateway, he can venture to places that the ToT has a quantum energy alignment. He wears the ToT as part of his uniform as the buckle of his belt.

Character History: Stephan Wallis was a normal kid growing up in Des Moines his parents were both blue collar folk who did the best they could to raise their 3 children. Steve was an excellent student and athlete obtained entrance to Annapolis, where he graduated and served his 2 years in San Diego, CA. During his second year, as a URL he found himself drawn to the SEALS. After contemplating the commitment to reenlist, he did so with the understanding he would he enter the SEAL’S program to see if he was good enough to be a Navy Seal. After completing the intensive BUDS trials, he graduated as the only one in his class. Stephan, after further training general combat and survival training, is assigned to SEAL team Six, where he obtains a great deal of counter-terrorist training along with intelligence and medical knowledge.

Ribbons earned. National Defense Service Ribbon – NDSM, Bronze Star Ribbon, Global War on Terrorism Service Ribbon, Purple Heart Ribbon, Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Navy Good Conduct Ribbon, Combat Action Ribbon, Navy Expert Pistol Ribbon, Navy Expert Rifle Ribbon, Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon, Navy Marine Corps Commendation Ribbon, Navy USMC Presidential Unit Citation PUC, Navy Marine Distinguished Service Military Ribbon, Silver Star Ribbon.

After four years, he is given a new assignment as the special combat consultant to Eastern Regional Wordsmith for their research for DARPA. Steve discovered ERW working on some reversed engineered technology they obtained from an alien crash site.

After nearly a year where he encountered some very disturbing things and seeing the great harm done to American citizens by the experiments conducted, Steve tried to halt the program. During a scuffle he was knocked back into an oscillating blue field, as the alien energies coursed through his body he felt the as if he collapsed into nothing. The machine exploded causing the R&D facility to come down around him. It took several days before they found Steve barely alive.

He spent 7 months in Bethesda Naval hospital before he is honorably discharged from the Navy. Little did he know that the energy in him had altered his molecular structure giving him control of the zero-point energy that coursed through his body.

Real Name: Sir Dou’far Klaast
Occupation: Gladius Dei Senechal- General of the Angar-Ryllan Sword of God Elite Knights
Other Aliases: None
Place of Birth:Nas’Gadur
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: None
Race: Nas’Gaduran

Random descriptors:
Height: 6 ft. 3 in.
Weight: 535 lbs.
Eyes: White
Hair: Black
Skin Color: Deep blue

Character Tier: High.

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant, This is the main character (the central or primary personal figure to the roleplay).

Physical Description: A tall man with deep-set eyes and long hair pulled into a top-knot pony tail. He has some stubble on his chin and cheeks as he shaves but once every few days. A quick smile and a hearty laugh are part of his charm. As with all Nas-Gaduran’s his skin is a deep blue color, and being that he is from an Earth+1 gravity world this gives him a strange bouncy gate when in a gravity lesser than his normal.

Personality Description: Dou’far Klaast was just a boy when he was conscripted into the Home world legions each planet in the Empire is required to provide. After going through his test he was found to have a high intelligence and the personality that lends itself well to the Gladius Dei, a single mindedness bordering on fanatical. Dou’far Klaast is a highly motivated and extremely driven man, who is supremely confident in his own abilities and expects the same from his troops.

Skills, powers and abilities:

(High) A skilled swordsman and trained with all the knights weapons to a high degree, he is often seen in the training fields showing recruits techniques and tricks he has learned over the many years of training and combat.

(Intermediate) An accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, using his greater strength to his advantage.

(Intermediate) Due to being born on a high gravity world his muscularity and bone structure are far denser, and heavier. His strength is such that he can lift/press 3 tons with ease.

(Intermediate) His conditioning is above par for a man of his size, and this is due to his increased lung capacity.

(Intermediate) His skin and muscles are highly resistant to damage offering him a degree of protection against cutting and slashing from weapons of equal or lesser rating. Not impervious but resistant to base attacks.

Character Equipment: Gladius Dei (sword of God) armor/weapons--

(High) Vibro-Blade appears as a Bastard Sword-- These are the standard Templar issued blade weapons. They are surrounded by an invisible, high-frequency energy field that gives them damage capabilities equal to energy weapons. They can slice through armor very quickly and given time can cut through the heavy fortifications or doors on ships and on worlds.

(High) Sonic lance -- This is a sophisticated Templar weapon. It unleashes powerful vibrations in a considerable area in front of it, literally shaking apart all unlucky enemies in the area, no matter the bulk. The longer the knight charges it the stronger the effects of the sonic burst.

(High) Shimmering Shield of Faith--This is a force field, sometimes known as an energy shield, force shield, or deflector shield comprised of a field of tightly bounded boson particles of significant magnitude so that objects affected by the force shield are unable to pass through the central axis of the field and reach the other side. The shield is usually somewhere between 26-28 inches in circumference allow the knight a good deal of bodily protection against frontal assaults. This shield can be powered up with energy to allow it to disperse or block incredibly powerful attacks.

(High) A favorite weapon is the Heavy Plasma Pole-arm--He carries this weapon and employs it against the armies of the unbelievers. The heavy plasma pole-arm fires over sized, armor-penetrating plasma bolts capable of causing extreme damage to whatever target they strike. Like other burst plasma bolts, the projectiles from the heavy plasma pole-arm detonate upon impact, showering the surrounding area with damaging plasma shrapnel. Powered by their armor this has an effective range of a hundred meters. The pole-arm head is also a vibro weapon and can be used in combat to slice down the unbelievers with deadly ease.

Templar Knight standard issue armor.

The armor comes with the full range of sensors including thermal, radioactivity (an alarm function alerts him of dangerous conditions, like the presence of plutonium), neutron detector, also targeting/tracking, and telemetric sensors. A new Detection Unit is capable of picking up outside radar-tracking devices that lock on or "paint" him (e.g., incoming missiles), while a psionic tracer can detect and track even small traces of psionic energy. Ultra-sonics allow for a form of ground-penetrating radar (for finding underground chambers, etc.).

(High) Helmet optics include an energy detection unit that can sense power sources, power cables, and so on. Advanced Audio Receptors allow for eavesdropping and can detect people sneaking up on him. The integrated Sound Scanner is capable of separating out the frequency of all other noises, even a single whisper under tons of rubble. Meanwhile cooling systems maintain climate control inside the armor.

(High) Covered with an incredible refractory coating, the Templar armor's exterior can deflect thermal rays, lasers, and other energy weapons to a limited degree. However, a charged attack can ignore the deflective abilities of the armor.

(High) Templar armor also absorbs incoming radar signals, preventing them from bouncing back. Together with a built-in radar reflector, (that supplements the radar-absorbing qualities of the refractory coating), Templar armor is extremely stealthy against technological sensors.

(High) The outer fabric of the armor can also absorb many forms of energy, including magic. Linked to a new aether-magnacouple, this system allows the Templar to absorb the energy from normal energy attacks or magical sources. However the Armor must power the defenses to match incoming damage. If the incoming energy is far superior to the allotted defense energies the outer fabric can and will be rend by the force.

(High) The Templar can emit a high-solar burst that radiates Ultra-violet light from the armor in a 30‘radius. This burst is capable of blinding unprepared opponents and with the aether-magnacoupling can inflict injury to traditional undead opponents.

(Intermediate) The armor can also be magnetized, allowing the Templar to stick or walk on metallic surfaces. These systems run off the nuclear power supply and when taxed can actually shut down the armor for an hour or so to cool down.

Stats:
Speed:
Running: 60 mph (96 km) maximum
Leaping: The powerful exo-skeletal legs can leap up to 22 feet high or across. Add 20 feet with a running start. Jet thruster assisted leaps can hurl the power armor 350 feet up or across. If necessary, the thruster can shortly hold the powered knight aloft as high as 52 feet off the ground for up to 90 seconds. The thrusters are not made for flying.

Statistical Data:
Height: 12 feet, 5 inches (3.1 m)
Width: 4 feet, 4 inches (1.3 m)
Length: 4 feet (1.2 m)
Weight: 900 lbs.
Physical Strength can lift/press 50,000 lbs or 25 tons.
Power System: Nuclear; average energy life is 20 years. All weapons are powered from the power system.

Character History: At the age of 5 Dou’far was conscripted into the Home world legion on Nas’ Gadur and after testing was sent to the great Monastery of the Gladius Dei at Bright Gate on Angur-Rylla itself. Here he devoted his life to the order learning the arts of fighting with lance and sword as well as the strict lifestyle required of all Knights.
Having fought in numerous campaigns as commander of the elite shock troops known as Gladius Dei, he discovered a thread of myths on all conquered worlds and even in the records of Angur-Rylla as well as his own home world. Over the next few years and over the course of several more campaigns he found more references to something called the Nexus of Worlds.

Assembling the evidence he began speaking to other generals until he had convinced many of the command throughout the military that this was something they should pursue. After a meeting with the Counsel or Lords he convinced them that the Nexus existed and that it must be their focus. Whomever controls this Nexus between worlds held power over all others, power that should belong to the Angar-Ryllan Empire, under the command of General Dou’far Klaast and his Holy Knights.

[Rilla]

Name:

Adinraen Barriurden
(Audin = Monstrou.
Raen = Desciple
Barri - Spawn of
Urden = the Darkness)

- Nickname:

Devil Elf

-- Infamous Names:

Devil Elf
Demon Elf of the Dark Forest

Age:

241

- Feigned Age: 110

Sex:

Male

Date of birth:

First Winter during the Year of the Demon Elf Emergence

Character Tier: High.

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant

Lineage:

Brother: Rosuto Barriurden

Born during the First Fall, Year of the White Elf Queen, Rosuto was meant to inherit the small fortune of the Barriurden clan. However, his dreams were not realized, for he was given a brother. Adinraen. Barriurden, in itself, means Spawn of the Darkness, and Adinraen strived to live up to this ideal. When the Demon Elf King declared war during the 80th Year of the Emergence, Adinraen made his first act of loyalty slaughtering his entire family, proving that the name Barriurden would live as it should; in utter darkness.

-- Rank: C

He was never a fighter, but inherited some degree of military tacticianism.

Father: 'The Hunter' Barriurden

Adinraen never knew his father by real name, for all called him 'The Hunter'. A famed warrior turned War Strategist for the Elven Clan they belonged. During the 80th Year of Emergence, he was horrifically killed by his son, Adinraen. His head was offered to the Demon Elf King.

-- Rank: High Class S

A name etched into every mind of school-age elves. 'The Hunter' was best known for making strategies that led the Elves in numerous wars, to unfathomable victories. His fame became so much that, should he have wanted too, he could have easily been a top military advisor for the Elf Queen. Instead, he chose to start a small business. His military strategies and intelligence were second to none, and passed down to his sons, Rosuto and Adinraen.

Class/Major:

Demon Elf Elite

As an elite in the armies of the Demon Elf King, Adinraen boasts significant martial abilities. His skill with twin elven blade, his skill in nature manipulation, particularly thick forests, and his uncanny ability to form strategies(reminiscent of his father) quickly saw him rise through the ranks. However, for each level he rose, the mark of the Demon Elf grew upon his body and disfigured it into the horrific shape it takes today.

Class/Minor:

Military Strategist [Intermediate]

Were not for his father's untimely death, Adinraen probably would have made him proud with his knowledge in military sequences, movements, history, and strategy. With intelligence on par with his father's, Adinraen has effectively solidified himself as a valuable asset. By virtue of pure knowledge of all existing forests, Adinraen can, will, and has, provided logistics for them all; down to the last blade of grass.

Occupation:

Demon Elf Elite Strategist [Intermediate]

His father's position became his own in under the new lord, the Demon Elf King. Mixing his intellect with his intricate knowledge of the land and armies at his disposal, Adinraen threatens the entire wellbeing of the world. Even on his own, as a emissary of the Demon Elf King, he is highly dangerous. There are whispers that he has been plotting to take over as Demon Elf King, even if it means massacring the ruling family.

Alignment:

Chaotic Evil

Martial Status:

Single, aside from those he's raped and enslaved.

Birthplace:

The Forest of the Black Elf

His father and mother were traveling with the armies of the White Elf Queen, when he was born. The elves of the forest, dark in complexion, allowed them several weeks reprieve in their abodes. Only when the first glimmer of darkness tainted Adinraen's skin did they find they overstayed their welcome.

Blood Type:

Unknown

Eye Color:

Once they were a vibrant green, but now, due to the influence of the Demon Elf Mark, they are all white.

Height:

Fix foot flat

-- With Shoes: six foot one

Weight:

One hundred fifty

Hair Color/Style:

Long, flowing, black hair.

Handed:

- Left:

Perfected - Uses for powered strikes

-- Right:

Perfected - Uses for deceptive, quick strikes.

--- Both:

Perfected - In conjunction, his strikes become nearly unavoidable without getting out of the reach of his arms and blades.

Skin Tone/Condition:

Ghastly white, coated with blood and scars.

Physical Condition: [High]

Optimal. His body functions at a high rate, increased reflexes and speed. His durability is just a tinge higher than a normal elves, but still relatively less than a humans. Well trained muscles lay coiled, increasing the power of his strikes, past their normal limits.

Markings:

Demon Elf Mark

Appearance: A knobbed ended arrow. The arrow points go out and downward, pointing back to the knobbed end.

Function: Given by the Demon Elf King to all under his kingdom, the mark horridly distorts the image of the person it is bestowed upon. In reward, subjected people gain more power in both mental, physical, and metaphysical artforms. The longer one holds the mark, and the more ranks they gain, the more the marking does to them.

Voice:

Raspy, devoid of anything other than killing intent

Reach:

Two Feet

Birthmark:

Originally the mark of the Barriurden Clan, but it has long since been consumed by the Demon Elf Mark.

Personality:

Adinraen, as described earlier, is nothing short of a socio-psychopathic murderer. In his mind, only the organized Chaos od the Demon Elves is worthy of his attention and this has greatly affected his mind. While he does possess grand social skills, these are only afforded to those in his clan, to anyone else his appearance is indicative of his mindstate. Often it sounds as though the Demon Elf, many are unaware that this is him formulating strategy on top of strategy in a multitude of mixed langauges, some dead and some newly formed. The rest of his mannerisms are more-or-less ingrained into the minds of young elves, to love nature and all its inhabitants, and while he does, he is also subject to using them as pawns in his dangerous war games. More than one facet of nature has been subject to these and has never been the same since.

Fighting Skills: [High]

In battle he is ruthlessly aggressive to the point of seeming like a berserker. This could not be further from the truth. Combining his hellish skill with blades, ring blade, or a bow and arrow, with his high intellect and tactical prowess, Adinraen can effectively back and lead his opponent into any position he wishes. He shows no mercy, for he believes his weapons, the Bones of the Devil Elf, need the taste of blood to quench their thirst.

Spirit Animal:

Unknown

The adverse effects of the mark on his mind, and his outright disregard for his own well-being and spiritual upbringing have caused his spirit animal to become naught more than a broken haze.

Equipment: [Intermediate]

-Upper Body:

--Demon Elf Chestplate:

Appearance: Made from the most durable, lightweight elven metals of the new Demon Elf world, this armor features bi-ridged layovers, that increase the defensive capabilities.

Function: At a glance, it is meant to ward off any would-be physical attack; however, its truest properties lay in minor spell deflection. Anything with one-charge or less glances off with minimal damage done and nullified effects.

--Demon Elf Arm Coverings:

Appearance: Similar to that of the above in appearance, with the addition of three blades jutting out on the back of the elbow; the smallest of which on the side of his hand, and the longest on the side of his head. Gloves are included as well.

Function: To slash opponents behind him, as well as the added effect of the above.

--Elf-Metal Sheathes:

Appearance: For Bones of the Devil Elf, they rest on his back and follow the curvature of the oddly shaped blades. For the Ring of the Demon, it as well rests on his back, however layering on top of the sheathe for the swords.

Function: To hold his weapons, and offer defense from attacks from behind.

-Lower Body:

--Demon Elf Greaves:

Appearance: Light-weight, yet highly durable. Sharp objects out of the knees.

Function: Defense and a potential weapon

---Left/Right Leg: Demon Elf Greaves

--Devil Elf Belt:

Appearance: A Elf-Metal Fashion, Demon-Elf Marked belt

Function: A secondary sheathe, and a designator of his rank. It carries his insignia.

Weapons:

Bones of the Devil Elf [High]

While not actual bone, these blades were blessed by the Devil Elf himself. To Adinraen these blades are akin to his family, the only family he refused to part with. His mind tells him they speak to him and whine for fresh blood. In his hands, these blades carve through obstacles with obscene ease. They are also made out of an abnormally strong metal, that feels lightweight in his hands. Just his skill with these weapons alone gained him a great deal of respect and rank within the Demon Elf Militia.

Elf Skeletonbow with Devil Hair String [Intermediate]

This Bow and Arrow set is arguably the most feared in the ranks of the Demon Elves. It is never shown to be on Adinraen before usage, in fact, it is rumored he can pull it from any portion of nature he chooses. The bowstring comes from his own hair, magicked to have a high tension and release at a high rate of speed, 2,000 feet a second. It is called a SkeletonBow due to the fact that the design is indictative of a creatures spine, curved to form the base. His accuracy is high, and his profiecency with nature makes his arrow supply starts at 25, and are made of something representative of the land around him. However, when dominating the land, at the lost of not using a magical attack during the term he can create five more.

Ring of the Devil Elf [Intermediate]

By far his most unique weapon, the ring blade is essentially a close-long range mixed weapon. Using his dominance over the natural energies of nature, when he tosses it, he can control it without touching it. When its in his hands, its true prowess is shown. His already unpredictable movements and his unstable mind, make this weapon a prodigy in destruction up-close. The sharp edges cut as easily as those of the Bones of the Devil Elf. However the drawback is, it is easy for him to damage himself with his double-edged weapon.

Abilities:

They Never See the Devil [Low/Intermediate]

In nature, when dominant, he becomes camouflaged. This breaks when he attacks but reinstates when the attack is finished. It remains so, even if he is prepping an attack. Moving lessens the effective nature of this passive ability, but overall it remains intact.

I am Nature, but it is not me! [Intermediate]

When he gains his dominance over nature, he also gains the ability to hear through it, effectively making hiding useless. Normally, this works two ways if the opposer has the ability to manage it, however this is moot to Adinraen. As he is the dominator, nature actively cancels attempts to backtrace, or affect, him via his magical effects on nature. Also, pinpointing him via nature is impossible, as his energies and nature's energy becomes mirrored. This also grants him some degree of resistance to illusions, particularly environment changing ones. He also gains some resistance to natures elements, however the resistance to element that opposes his current domination is only an increased 25% instead of the decreased 25% to the rest, and 75% to his current domination. This means, for Forest to Fire, the latter will cause 25 percent more damage. However, for Fire to say, Earth, he'd have 25% more resistance to it. For Fire to Fire, he'd have 75% Resistance.

All roads lead to Rome! [High]

Nature for him is nothing but a compilation passive portals. Once he exerts the needed energy to gain dominance over nature, then he can pass through them and appear at similar areas. Examples include ice-berg to icebergs, fires to fires, bodies of water to bodies of water, etc., etc. He cannot appear within five-feet of an opponent, however.

Asepsis [Intermediate]

Quite simply Adinraen is somewhat immune to contaminants, that cause disease. However, he is adapt at using these on his weapons, if he can find such things that contain them.

Magic:

Nature Dominance [High]

In the myths, there are three types of nature control. Famaliar, the lowest and most commonly accessed. Control, the mid-rank that is the highest many can achieve. Finally, Dominance, the complete and utter mastery over nature. Not only does the forest protect him from the ones that would do him harm, but quite literally bends to him. For the exchange of minimal energies, his powerful magic is cast at full strength. The wildlife in any given area becomes naught more than a pawn to his chessboard if he expends the required amount of energy to exert his dominance, this includes slight poison generation. Once done, his mastery is so absolute that it is said he literally becomes the forest in some abstract way. This does not simply include the forest, but all areas of Nature. However, others require a bit more of his energy to be expended.

Drudic Magics [Intermediate]

In addition to being Dominant over Nature, he is also a practiced Druid. Capable in healing arts, shape-shifting, and animal control, Adinraen can effectively treat his environment like a giant game of chess. In terms of his shape-shifting he is quite adapt at its application and is steadily gaining new forms to fit any situation he is thrown in. He is not adapt at healing, however, due to his merciless personality. His control of animals extends to mythical ones as well, but the rarer and bigger they are, the harder they are to control. He once had a totem pole to symbolize his Druidic nature, but he left it behind at the Demon Elf Stronghold, thinking it useless.

[LeeRoy]

Name: LeeRoy Brightmane

Age: I dunno, what year is it? He was born in 1672

Gender: Male

Race: Godslave, Human, Caucasian

Random descriptors:

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 270 lbs.
Eye Color: None.
Skin Tone: That skin tone you get when you don't leave your house for a month.
Hair Color: Reddish brown.
Character Tier: Intermediate

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant

Physical Description:


Not much deviation from the image above at any time, always wears a button up collared shirt with a pair of pants tucked into his steel toed boots. Uniformity is comforting for him.

About how he moves and his mannerisms, every movement he makes is quick and deliberate. Even though he's got all the time in the multiverse he still understands that time is valuable, and HATES when people waste it. He finishes everything as quickly and efficiently as possibly, even walking.

He sometimes forgets to breathe and blink, those are just sidenotes.

Personality Description: LeeRoy is a scientist above all, everything he does and ever will do has been for the expansion of knowledge. That said, he goes to great lengths for discovery and experimentation. Violating several natural and social laws in the process on some occasions. Sometimes the laws of physics, when studying sub-atomic particles. He has no concept of right or wrong, and is genuinely a true-neutral individual.

Although he's neutral he has a tendency to do things just to spite people. And since there's a voice in his head that he frequently speaks to, he'll sometimes do the right thing just because the voice in his head is evil Though when he was younger he was always taught to be polite and to respect everyone. Unless they disrespect him. As such, he's a polite and respectable individual. A fast talker and a brilliant wordsmith, he'll talk you into buying your own clothes if he has the motivation.

Skills, powers and abilities:

-Genius Level Intellect (High): Nearly a savant from birth he was an astronomer by the age of 16. (Not unreasonable, as he was born in 1672.) By 24 he had become an apothecary. By 32 he had become a renowned scientist. After his death and revival he has done nothing but expand his knowledge. Since 1720 he has read literally every document on science, written more than a few of his own, and perfected his own studies. Since then he has become obsessed with robotics and cloning, creating clones of himself for whenever his body wears out (or is destroyed). Other than that, his thought process is around thrice that of the average human, quickly analyzing and solving issues at hand in one third the time. Sometimes figuring something out two seconds before the other guy can save your skin.

-Enhanced Physical Abilities(Intermediate): After having his jaw destroyed by Maxwell he decided that it was just about time for a new body, in his ship he had the equipment for cloning a new body to transfer himself into. Because his patron god hadn't bothered to give him the enhanced abilities he usually outfits himself with when he swaps bodies. During the cloning process he induced electric stimuli to enhance the growth of musculature and tendons in his body as it grew to match his physical age. This allowed for overall enhanced physical ability. Later in the process he introduced mechanical stimulation, on an organic scale he improved the overall sensory reception of the average human body. Every new body that he creates has enhanced abilities, it assists with his tedious work for the first twenty or so years. Unfortunately, after 20 years his body starts to totally degrade, as he cannot sleep.

• Supersoldier Strength: Well beyond the peak of human ability, straight from the cloning tube, this body is capable of thrice that of the strongest human being. Capable of lifting 1,700 lbs. His enhanced musculature is unnaturally stimulated, his physical appearance from the neck down is not what you would see on a bodybuilder. More of a lumberjack look.


• Supersoldier Speed: Above that of Olympians, he can run at about 45 mph.


• Supersoldier Reflexes: This is a given, with the enhanced body able to keep up with his advanced intelligence and quick thinking, he's able to react twice as fast as the normal human.


• Supersoldier Senses: Enhanced sense of smell, hearing, touch, taste, you get the idea. About twice that of what normal human beings are capable of.

- Cannot die, period(Intermediate): Now let me explain. Back in 1720 LeeRoy died. Now, what would your last wishes be? LeeRoy's last wish was to live. To continue his research. For eternal youth. Unfortunately someone heard the wish. This someone just so happened to be a god. This god granted his wish. But this god is an asshole, there's more than a few rules to this immortality.

His consciousness now belongs to that god. Here's how it works.

If his body is destroyed but his brain is (mostly) intact: His consciousness remains with the brain.
If his brain is destroyed: His consciousness is trapped in the general area of the body until that god wills him to live again.

Now.

If his body is destroyed and he has no means to repair or replace it with cloned body parts, he has to wish upon that god again. Now, every time you wish upon this god you lose a distinguishing feature of yourself.

If his brain is destroyed, then the god automatically assumes you've made the wish, so you come back with something missing of yourself.

LeeRoy has made this wish 3 times. That is why he has such large hands, that is why he cannot sleep, and that is why his eyes have no visible pupils or irises.

Next time he makes the wish his voice will no longer be his own.
After that he'll lose his hair color.
After that his skin will become much like leather in appearance.
So on and so forth.

Sometimes it's benign, other times its horribly disfiguring.

Character Equipment:

- The Space Grazer (High): LeeRoy's custom constructed star-ship, took upwards of 50 years to construct. All the materials were incredibly difficult to come by, seeing as a guy who has no social security number can't really get a job. So LeeRoy resorted to bank robbery, and used that to pay off a large number of police and military groups. From the military groups he managed to haggle for the resources to construct it. The design is simplistic but effective for off world travel.
[list]

From stern to bow it measures 38 meters long.

The frame and inner shell are boron steel castings, rather than being welded together it was cast into this shape for maximum efficiency. Boron steel is one of the hardest materials in the world, as such the ship can withstand quite a beating. Though, space combat is not the purpose of the ship, it was implemented to protect from crippling damage during a crash.

External layer is a heavy ceramic that allows for safe reentry without burning up in the atmosphere. The ceramic layer protects against heat by dispersing it evenly across its surface and then quickly cooling off.

Three MACs mounted port and starboard, small sized MACs are used as compulsory weapons for defense. MAC stands for Magnetic Acceleration Cannon, as the name implies it takes a chunk of metal along a path of powerful electromagnetic coils and fires it at just faster than the speed of sound.

Atmospheric recycling allows the ship to function as long as the fuel keeps it going.

A center gyro that constantly spins, the rotation creates something similar to gravity. Allowing for movement with ease within the ship.

A form of Hyperdrive similar to Warp that allows for near-instant travel from one point in the universe to another.

Full armory of basic human crafted weapons and enough ammunition to start a small war.
- 9mm Handguns (4)
- .50 Caliber Sniper Rifles (2)
- H&K G36 Assault Rifles (2)
- Claymore Mines (20)
- C4 Explosive Charges (5)
- Custom Crafted Thrown Explosive Plates (20)

Propulsion System

Normally outlawed by human society, LeeRoy uses a form of propulsion that compiles speed as time goes by. This propulsion is Nuclear Pulse Propulsion. Inside it has a very large and thick contained area. This area has one opening to release buildup. Within this chamber several nuclear explosions are in fact going off on command. Because it is in a confined space it has only one way to go. And that's out. When turned off it is a relatively harmless engine, though incredibly radioactive.

This speed builds up over time, never losing energy from each explosion. Allowing the ship to reach near light speeds before becoming incapable of accelerating beyond.

At the front of his ship are two exhaust ports. These exhaust ports are in fact closed, and have multiple pressure valves to prevent accidental rupture. When the ship needs to come to a halt. He opens these up in sequence and blasts thousands of pounds of air pressure forward. All of the force from this slows the ship to a stop. (This is not an immediate process, not by a long shot. It blasts one after another, increasing in force as it goes along. Until it can calmly come to a stop.)

Advanced Medical Bay: A full medical suite for whenever LeeRoy gets injured. The suite contains sealant gel, pain killers, an automated medical bed (Similar to the one in Prometheus) and a sphere with arms. The sphere is mobile and can be triggered remotely to come hunt down LeeRoy's broken body. (Cannot travel through space, water, or lava. Acid is a question of how long it takes, it can't last very long in strong acid.)

[/list]

- The Bio Enhancement Combat Suit MKVII (Intermediate): Seventh in the line of suits built by LeeRoy, an environmental suit designed for combat in this hostile multiverse. When LeeRoy's last suit failed him, he reconstructed it from scratch. Only using certain leftover materials from it to save time. Everything else, however, was purchased legally on Darashal.

• Strength amplification/Strength moderation: Designed to match any planet the suit itself is heavy and it can increase and decrease the amount of force exerted by the wearer to equalize the difference in gravity. On a planet with Earth-like gravity it remains at peak performance, whereas a planet with Neptune-like gravity would make it weaker in combat but the suit allows you to travel at the same speed. A planet with gravity like that of Mars would decrease the amount of force put out by every step, decreasing the amount of push you have, thus reducing the accidental lift created by every step. On an earth like planet this suit enhances his already impressive newfound strength by 50%, allowing him to lift upwards of one ton of weight. (2,550 lbs) It also enhances his newfound speed as well, allowing him to run at 50% higher than without the suit. (67 mph)



• Thruster Pack: This is basically a jetpack that doesn't run out of fuel, it is a back mounted series of thrusters that allow for in flight course correction and flight speeds up to 240mph. It needs recharging after a three hour flight.



• Water Recycling: This one is pretty obvious, much like a Stillsuit from Frank Herbert's "Dune", it recycles all water passed from the body into drinkable water. Not every planet has water so you need every drop you can get.



• Assisted Breathing Apparatus: Three oxygen tanks with a filter that prevents toxic atmospheres from decimating the wearer's lungs. In a breathable atmosphere the tanks refill on command.



• Unlike its predecesors, this suit is designed for combat. It is not lightweight, it weighs around 70lbs, distributed across the entire body. This encumbers the wearer slightly, however, that weight is attributed wholly to the material it is made from. Made from the same materials as his ship, it is constructed with boron-steel plating with an underlying carbon nano-tube weave, and coated in a durable layer of blast resistant ceramics. It is wholly bulletproof and the plates are resistant to explosive force well beyond that of 10 lbs of TNT.

- The ZUB15 Semi-Automatic Air Pistol (Low): A battery powered side arm made in LeeRoy's spare time, inspired by the Pistol Shrimp it is a powerful air compressor contained within a pipe shaped barrel. The compressor puts the air under so much pressure that once released it creates enough energy to sublimate lead and punch holes through plate armor. The gun itself compresses three shots worth of air at a time and once those are spent automatically reloads. The batteries are under extreme strain and cannot be used after 25 shots.
- Vacuum Lance: A four foot long double edged weapon with a hole at the end of it. This is attached to a hose and that hose is connected to a very efficient air compressor. It vacuums in air and much like the ZUB15 it can fire this air out like bullets. These bullets are similar to the ones from the ZUB15, however, they are much faster. Like the rounds of a sniper rifle, these air bullets punch holes through foot deep concrete. This weapon's compressor does not need to be reloaded, however, it takes much more time to actually fire this than the ZUB15. Taking about 10 seconds to vacuum in enough air to fire. (One turn.) The bladed edge is ceramic, very durable ceramic at that. The kind used in divers's knives. This allows it to resist shattering on impact and providing a lethal cutting edge. It is used very similarly to a sword in its usage, however it is only a slashing weapon. It has no point.

Character History: Born in a colonial settlement in Egypt in an Alternate Universe Earth number who-gives-a-damn LeeRoy was raised in a rather priveledged lifestyle along the Nile River. He took a liking to reading, and that evolved into a love of knowledge. With his parent's money he was sent to a rather prestigeous college and became an astronomer at a rather young age. Astronomy was a foothold for other sciences and he wound up expanding his knowledge to every science of the time. Nothing in particular was truly interesting about his life up until the day he died. On his death bed he had made a horrible mistake.

A wish for eternal youth.

Unfortunately a god heard his wish, a God of Mentality.

Well, this wish was granted, and LeeRoy was brought from dead and to the dimension of which this god held domain. He woke to find his hands thrice the size they were before and realized with a god looming over him. Quick to realize he had made a mistake he was on the verge of wishing to return home. But the thought of exploring a universe totally alien to him was riveting. Unfortunately he was attacked by a group of savages, and his body was completely destroyed.

So he had to make a wish.

This second wish took away LeeRoy's ability to sleep. Now he is a sleepless eternal being, unable to escape the world of consciousness for the comforting grip of sleep. Though now he never has to worry about over sleeping, a lack of sleep decimates the body. After a few hundred years his body destroys itself, unable to heal. So he had to perfect cloning, every few hundred years he has to completely transplant his brain into a new body.

Along with cloning he perfected robotics, and space travel as time went by. Though. Teleportation still evades him.

And by evades him.

I mean.

The last time he tried to experiment with teleportation he wound up with a "demon" from "Hell" permanently fused with him on a psychological level. Yeah, the problem here being, LeeRoy has to listen to her. Constantly. Day in, day out.

He avoids experimentation with teleportation because he couldn't bear to have another voice in his head.

After the incident with the "demon", which he has now come to call: "The Voidman" He found out that he's not the only Godslave, that they're an entire sub-genus of EVERY race. That there are countless beings in the universe who have come under the curse of eternal life.

So?

LeeRoy decided to visit them.

Though there were a few issues along the way. Example: His first space flight was a catastrophic failure, and his body was incinerated on his way back into the atmosphere. That's when wish number three came in, and LeeRoy's eyes were cursed to look horrendous.

Now he's a disfigured genius with the ability to explore the universe, and he loves every second of every day. Because if he didn't love it, he'd hate it. So he forces a facade of comfort onto a dull and boring lifestyle to make eternity comfortable.

The Clockwork Man, the second arc is the character I'm entering NoW with. For reference sake, he's definitely somewhere in-between Intermediate and High, probably low high at most.

First Arc

Identity

Real Name: George Elmore

Other Aliases: Clockwork man, Sentinel.

Race: Clockwork Automaton

Occupation: Inventor/Guardian

Place of Birth: Steampunk Earth, London.

History
Born into a poor family whose fortunes only changed after the death of a wealthy relative in London, George grew up with bits of metal and found himself to be a genius in his own right. He and his brother, Hale, would often play fight in the streets and pretty much act as little kids do, growing up under the watchful gaze of both father and mother. With money came opportunity, and after their father and mother passed the boys were of age and ready to do what they would with the world.

George was a renowned inventor of his time, and completely human, once. Living in London during the age of industry in a Steampunk world, he flourished with his inventions and innovations, building himself a small fortune while always sticking to the background. He established a factory ran by his brother to keep him out of the limelight, and retreated for two years. Sadly his brother exploited the workers in George’s absence, working them to the bone out of a cruel heart and a deep resentment for his brother’s natural gifts. It was a cruel fate for any trapped by the binding contacts and those who tried to flee were usually hunted down and dragged back to severe punishments. It was through this process that Hale Elmore began to take control of east London industrial, with vicious and unscrupulous business tactics and the willingness to use violence. Those were dark days for London, and even with the discovery of magic far overseas and the eventual implementation of it to make the process of machinery more efficient, people still suffered greatly.

The situation had grown dire in George’s two year absence, but his return was pre-ordained and with him came an exotic and beautiful woman he later explained was his wife. Hale was quick to put on a show for his returning genius of a brother, carefully concealing the truth with the practiced ease of a sociopath. However, he was a fool to think George would not suspect anything of his errant family member; he had known him a long time and knew that something was indeed afoot. With a huge amount of energy and money invested George fought a war of words and deals to limit his brother’s growing power, and in the end convinced him to leave for greener pastures with money and opportunity overseas.

These events were met with general contentment with the people of London, who benefited almost immediately from George’s more kind and beneficial work ethic. The factories began to fill with smiling bantering workers, the economy grew and technology and magic prospered. Five years later George had a young daughter and the first design for the greatest of all machines, the Clockwork man.

Two years after that, Hale returned. He brought an army. They were cruel mercenaries from overseas, utterly ruthless and loyal only to Hale’s payroll. He laid waste to George’s empire of industry, ravaging quarter of London and driving police into open street warfare. George was quick to rally a defence, but being an unaggressive man he was unable to properly react to what could only be described as a coup. His daughter was only five at this time, his wife scared by the fearful events which had transpired. The robotic figure which stood guard at the door of their home high up on the hill top was unable to operate with one missing component, and George had only one chance to save everything he loved in the world.

As night fell and the mercenaries slammed at the doors of his home, his loyal servants ushered the women away into the night and he stood awaiting his brother’s arrival. There was a greenish red circle etched on the floor, and a scroll lay strewn across the table beside him. When the mercenaries arrived at his door he seized a clockwork pistol of his own design and held them at bay, remaining steadfast. A bullet caught him by complete luck through the wooden frame and cut a hole in his chest, but still he remained in the circle. Eventually his brother did arrive, as he knew he would, pride was a pitiful thing.

They conversed; his brother mocked him for his stubbornness, told him he should have fled while he could and avoided his fate as long as possible. George remained silent and his mind went blank, down on one knee blood poured through his shirt. Down on two his hand hit the floor and his brother laughed. His life spent there, the magic swirled around his body and his brother no longer laughed, George died.

And the Clockwork man awoke.

Appearance: A humanoid figure cloaked in old fashioned Victorian attire, a long brown trench coat coupled with a dull white shirt and tough durable brown trousers and boots. A leather holster is fastened to his right hip. A satchel is fastened to his left hip, which contains an incredibly efficient tool kit and all of his little devices. His body is made up of whirring gears under a plate of bronze about an inch thick which plays the part of skin. His face has a simple slit for a mouth which can open only slightly and one blue glowing right eye. The other is a slightly protruding telescopic sight. (About one and a half inches in length, but can extend to three). Apart from his unnatural composition, his body shape is lean and athletic looking. He’s completely bald and has no nose or ears.

Height: 6ft exactly

Weight: 105kg

Fighting ability

Known Powers: The Clockwork man is sustained by magic, but his eye is also able to highlight the use of magic and creatures magical in nature. It also makes sneaking up on him nigh impossible without serious terrain advantages, or pure skill being your only ability in stealth. Both of his eyes present him with a vast inflow of information which his mechanical and spiritual mind can quickly compute and react to. This gives him a reaction time far superior to any human, and also makes him uncannily accurate. They also have the ability to perceive their way through natural fog, smoke, and the like, and can easily see in the dark.

Technomage, the Clockwork man can create mechanical devices imbued with magic in short spaces of time, and give them life. He has a few of these technological wonders on his person, but it also gives him an advantage when fighting mechanical opponents because he can understand how they work, it also allows him to fairly easily repair himself.

Abilities: Being a mechanical construct, he has inherited the natural strengths of being made of metal. For one, he has the durability of bronze enhanced by magic to be further resistant to rust and heat. His melting point is about 2500 F. (He’s also made of a non-magnetic variant, but can conduct electricity and heat safely through his body and even project it as a weapon to a limited degree, so long as it’s not taken at extreme levels. Impact wise, the bronze composition is slightly more dense than natural, giving it a hardiness at around half again the durability of steel.
His mechanical strength is somewhat more than the biological strength of a human, his maximum lift roughly 1 tonne.
He moves in an oddly jerky and unnatural manner which accounts for his near impossible to predict fighting style, moving at about 20mph at a full sprint which takes quite a time of acceleration. However, this is not in relation to his body movements, where he is quite capable of delivering strikes with hands and feet before the fastest of natural humans. He has a jump height of ten feet standing and twenty horizontal with a run up.
He has an endurance which is mechanical in nature, which means it is near limitless. He will never seem tired, however as he has no real direct combat magic this is unsurprising as running his body would only require minimal energy.
He can hear pretty much as well as a normal human, except the sound is transferred to his animus or mind through magic, so his ears can’t be damaged.
Through magic he also projects his voice through the mouth of the Clockwork, although it seems dryer than when alive.
He can’t feel anything physically, although his mind or animus could still be targeted to cause him to feel pain.
Being mechanical in nature, he has no blood stream and is unaffected by contagions poisons etc, however also being magical in nature and not truly workable through scientific means suggests that he would also have a significant degree of resistance to remote hacks and other technological devices. This is emphasised by the way in which his soul was transplanted into the machine, as he can lash out at magical and technological attacks with his mind from the safety of the crystal.
George has inhabited his mechanical body for ten years and is incredibly competent in its use. He understands its limitations and its strengths, allowing him to fight hand to hand with ease.

Inventory and limitations

Weapons: Clockwork pistol, classic steampunk-ish looking weapon with a three round chamber. It has to be kept in a default state when not in use, but before firing can be charged by the cogs to fire one 9mm bullet at the full power of a modern day sniper rifle after a 10 second period. This can then be increased to 20 seconds to fire two shots, and 30 to fire all three. When multiple rounds are shot the pistol is designed to allow them to spread vertically by a few inches, so by twisting the gun he can make it less likely for an opponent to escape their spread or cause more damage. At thirty seconds the rounds also become more like anti-personnel rounds, which shatter on impact and completely waste the insides of organic opponents. With trained accuracy mechanical ones also suffer a similar fate.

Homing explosives: Small cylindrical capsules kept in his satchel; he carries four of them at any given time. When activated they break apart at the middle and a sharp circular blade protrudes to increase their diameter to about five inches, and an irritated buzzing noise emanates from within. He can then throw them in the direction of an opponent and with his magic they home in on whoever he has targeted, changing direction mid-flight in order to pierce the targets body. If this becomes impossible because the target dodges too far, they explode when as close as possible. The explosion is on par to a modern day grenade.

Flare bomb: Carries two with him, they look similar to the homing explosives except coloured red rather than remaining iron. When activated they beep twice clank with a heavy metallic sound and then burst into a billowing flame within five seconds. This is caused by an incredibly powerful accelerant which is sprayed out over a ten foot radius, and if the opponent is splashed with it the fire will follow along and burn through it and them at 2000f.

Magical inhibitor: A strange metallic rectangle about five inches in length and two inches in width, it takes a significant period of time to recharge (one use per fight) but when activated it sends out a wave of debilitating sound and magic in a forward arc of fifteen feet wide for twenty five feet in distance. This has the effect of either disabling or at least weakening magic used in the area of effect, but also if it hits someone intoned with magic it can cause a deafening ringing in their mind and prevent them from easily casting spells again for another ten seconds or so, depending on mental constitution.

Clockwork spider: Only has one, a tier 2 summon (yes I know it should be 2/3 character strength but I can’t justify it at the level, but neither as a tier 1) It’s about ten inches in diameter and usually clings to his back when not in use under his cloak but above his shirt. When activated remotely using his Technomagic, it springs into life and defends its master with razor sharp mandibles which electrocute those it bites with the power of a modern day tazer. It moves incredibly fast (About 30mph), but isn’t particularly durable.

Equipment: Tool kit to repair damage to his devices or himself and fifteen rounds of ammunition for the Clockwork pistol.
Two smoke grenades pretty much equivalent to modern day standards. Blooming thick gray smoke in a twenty-thirty feet radius depending on conditions.
Grappling hook, attached to the top of his left hand just before the wrist, it looks like a simple spike in a strange square structure welded onto the hand when not in use. When activated it bursts out and three spikes protrude from the original one to allow it to hold onto targets. This can then be deactivated at will to release or retract. It has a range of about 30 feet, and the wire and hook has the durability of tensile steel (the wire has a diameter of about two and a half inches allowing it to take a few hits before it breaks and obviously hold his weight.

Armor: Bronze ‘skin’ and internal structure.

Limitations: Weighted, George is incredibly heavy for his size and build due to being made of metal.
Clockwork, his internals are a mass of gears and cogs, which although designed to take gunshots with minimal impact, they suffer greatly from larger impacts and punctures causing his body to lose function.
Soul, George’s ‘soul’ or ‘animus’ was transplanted into the Clockwork body by magic, and it’s possible to target it with certain abilities. There is also a slightly larger and vital cog with a crystalline artefact within which houses George’s soul, on the right side of the Clockwork man’s chest, mirroring the heart on a normal human. It’s about as big as his clenched fist and if hit with a significant enough impact could cause him to fade away.
Combat magic is pretty much non-existent, he has to use his abilities indirectly through devices.

Second Arc

Identity

Real Name: George Elmore

Other Aliases: Clockwork man, Sentinel, NoW Champion.

Race: Clockwork Automaton

Occupation: Inventor/Guardian/

Place of Birth: Steampunk Earth, London.

History

Since blinding his brother, the Clockwork Man defended his family in secrecy, living out a simple, selfless life in London. After a particular skirmish with some mercenaries under Hal’s command (his brother.) he was offered the opportunity to partake in the NoW tournament, by the illusive Skallagrim. As part of his participation, he was to be given the power required to defeat his foes, securing his families safety forever. Of course, he accepted.

In the NoW the Clockwork Man defeated a young girl dragon and a futuristic bounty hunter, before finishing the fight in a pitched battle upon a bridge with a swordsman who wielded magic. Through the strength of his arm, he came through victorious and asked of his reward, so that he could end the battle that raged in his home-city.

The Cuataugh obliged, changing the crystal which housed his soul in some obscure way only those connected to the Dreamer race could understand. His powers changed with it, growing more immense, when he returned to London he was a fully-fledged Technomage. The battle that took place there is yet untold, but finally all his enemies lay defeated at his feet.

With the threat to his family gone, his sole reason for existence went with it. Still a lifeless bronze automaton, the Clockwork Man realised he had everything, and nothing. Only the Dreamers could return to him what he had long ago relinquished. So he sought them out.

The Crystal that housed his soul brought him back to the realm of the Dreamers, but his stay was short. Their answers cryptic, they would not grant him leave to speak with Skallagrim, he was ousted with another cryptic response.

“You must earn your gift.”

The Clockwork Man wandered far off worlds and galaxies, far into the future from his own timeline. Somewhere along the way he realised his metal body was no longer sufficient for his needs, a new one must take its place and house the soul crystal more safely, however it was by accident that his old form was consumed by the metal he refers to somewhat arrogantly as ‘Elmorium’.

Appearance:
The Clockwork Man resembles his old form to some respect, still a sleek bodied humanoid figure of exactly six foot in height. With a smooth metallic head, now with two even lens-like eyes. The major difference is the metal, which is far darker and more textured than his old body. He usually wears a brown Victorian style jacket, a white shirt and black trousers, with black boots. At his hip is a satchel and at the other is an updated form of pistol.

Weight: 95-500 kg

Abilities:
The first, and most impressive change to the Clockwork Man is his new body. George encountered a nano-tubule esque living metal completely by accident when exploring some kind of crashed technologically advanced race’s ship. It resembles a dark steel in colouration, but the similarities end there. Elmorium as he calls it is almost parasitic in nature, though it only effects other metals. Created synthetically by whatever race that came before, it is imbued with tiny self-replicating devices, which allow it to bend and reform, relatively quickly. It can also manipulate other metals molecular structures, to create more of itself. It consumed the Clockwork Man’s old body, but he was able to control the metal with his incredibly more powerful Technomagic. [High]
Its general fighting-relevant properties are thus:
The Metal can absorb impacts by transferring the momentum of attacks quickly through its outer structure, reducing the possibility of an attack breaking/punching through the ‘skin’ and damaging George’s important internals, namely his soul crystal. This is limited to piercing attacks, and blunt attacks. Cutting attacks are far too much to handle, provided the weapon is sharp enough and has enough force behind it. However, George’s new metallic body is at least as hard as diamond, bullets ricochet off it with little effect, and the highest conventional rounds in the modern day army are barely enough to temporarily scratch the surface. Mundane weapons are completely useless, at steel or below in hardness, unless the user is incredibly strong or using magic. [high]
It has a massive elemental resistance, conducting electricity away from any vulnerable circuitry with ease and being incredibly resistance to both cold and heat. George can continue to move in near sub-zero temperatures, though at a significantly reduced rate. His body can sustain temperatures of up to 5000 degrees Celsius, though his body does become more susceptible to other attacks for a short period after exposure to such effects. The metal is impervious to rust, incredibly resistant to corrosive and acidic agents, and essentially all around badass. It can also reverse its polarity, making itself magnetic and un-magnetic at will, though relatively un-powerful. (It can’t throw metals away like some sort of telepath, but it can resist magnetic attacks.) [high]
As mentioned, it can replicate itself, giving it a relatively effective ‘healing’ factor, provided there is sufficient metal to go around. It can also stick itself back together, say, if an arm ‘falls’ off. However, there are some weaknesses, namely at the joints where the metal is a quarter thickness. (It’s roughly an inch thick everywhere else.) This makes it incredibly easy in comparison to sever his limbs, or targeting these areas in general maximises damage. [high]

Because of his new constitution George’s physical traits have increased three-fold. He can now lift up to four tonnes of weight, and run at nearly one hundred and fifty mph maximum. His endurance is near limitless, in comparison to any biological opponent at any rate. He’s sustained by a massive, ever growing, fountain of magical energy. This could in theory be targeted however. His hearing is normal for a human, though projected through his Crystal his ears are non-existent and can’t be harmed. Likewise, his voice is projected through the crystal, and that is where his mind resides. He can’t ‘feel’ pain physically, but can be made to feel pain magically with slightly reduced effect. [intermediate]

Unsurprisingly, he can jump an incredible distance. He also moves surprisingly fast, with reflexes more than thrice that of the fastest of humans. This makes him a deadly close ranged fighter. [intermediate]

His perception is inhuman, though his mind is not it has changed significantly enough to allow him to process information at thrice that of the fastest human. The lens eyes can zoom to the degree of a modern-day sniper scope, and also provide him with a basic outline of magical beings and magic in use, which he can see and analyse. He moves far smoother than before the change, however his body still makes an audible, though incredibly quiet, whirring noise. He also has a 180 degree field of vision directly in front of him. [intermediate]

Though technological in nature, magic is what truly sustains George Elmore. This means he has a great degree of resistance to remote hacks, and other such effects which aim to target technological foes. As a counter to this, he has picked up weaknesses that would not affect solely mechanical foes. However, being made of metal does make him pretty much immune to contagions, diseases and poisons. [intermediate]

After fighting in his body for many years, he has picked up a wide range of deadly hand-to-hand techniques, and significant skill with his weapon of choice, the pistol. [low]

Technomancy: A powerful form of technological magic, George can control technology after a period of time with his magic alone. It takes significant effort for him to seize control of enemy technology however, and how much he can do with it requires time and effort studying and analysing its nature. At a basic level, he can manipulate machines and apparatus to do his bidding. [high]

Equipment:
George has discarded many of his old devices, especially after gaining a body which far surpassed their effects. He still retains some updated forms of his grenades however, which now explode with a plasma effect somewhat akin to an incendiary of 4000 degrees Celsius in a ten foot radius while remaining controlled in mid-air using blades which are made of Elmorium, making them far-sharper and more deadly than before. He carries about four of them in his satchel. [intermediate]

The Clockwork Pistol: The classic weapon of the Clockwork Man had seen better days before he decided to upgrade it. Retaining the same basic function, it now fires rounds imbued with his Technomancy and covered in Elmorium. They can be directed (to a very limited degree.) in mid-air to almost always hit their target. The weapon itself is made of Elmorium, and the mechanism now charges far faster. In fifteen seconds the weapon can fire three rounds at thrice the force of a modern day sniper rifle, while at no charge it fires a single round with the force of a sniper. Powerful shit. [intermediate]

He still carries his trusty satchel, though he had a strange tailor outfit it with the fur of some kind of exotic animal which makes it a hell of a lot more durable. It contains his grenades and thirty pistol rounds. Alongside his updated toolkit. [low]

[I]Clockwork Spider

The new and improved Clockwork Spider still resembles the animal it was named after. Roughly 12 inches in diameter, and now cloaked in fancy new Elmorium metal, it’s significantly more durable. Inside however, is where the real magic occurred. George had his Mystan allies provide him with a computerized A.I functionality for his little machine, allowing it to access technology George himself has trouble with. (High futuristic tech, George being from a steampunk world as he is has had limited experience with computers and their predecessors.) He did this for reasons which will be explained in the story, but essentially it gives the spider the ability to physically hack into more impressive and futuristic technology through technological means, rather than with magic like George has to.

On top of durability and A.I, the Clockwork Spider can now inject foes with Elmorium, causing it to spread as the Clockwork Man wills like a parasite, but only through other metals. This can give him limited control over sections of other people’s metallic objects, though this form of Elmorium is unstable and only ‘coats’ the things effected, causing them to be slowed or damaged, and after a short period of time it falls away like a dry coating of mud completely useless. It also retained the ability to electrocute foes with a powerful shocking attack from its mandibles, though now it’s more akin to being struck by lightning, which can be lethal.

It can move across any surface, like a real spider, it's powered by the magic which sustains the Clockwork Man, which is why it remains immobile charging most of the time. It's max speed is roughly 50mph, and it has the ability to stick to metallic structures with magnetic fixtures on its feet.

Grappling Hook: Now made of Elmorium, the grappling hook can stretch to 100 metres long, while incredibly durable and resistant to damage. The point is also far sharper than before, due to being made of Elmorium like the rest of the device. This makes it even more deadly as a weapon, but also able to pierce solid rock to make purchase if necessary. Alongside his pistol this is the Clockwork Man’s ranged/A.A arsenal. [intermediate]

The Magical Inhibitor is no more or less effective than before, though its uses against stronger magical opponents may be limited. [intermediate]

The Soul Crystal
George Elmore’s mind and soul exist within a now Elmorium covered crystal within his metallic body, mirroring where a heart would be on an ordinary person. Although slightly more resistant than before, if damaged even moderately George dies, making it the most effective way to end his life.
The Dreamers also provided his soul crystal with additional power, making it more receptive for his Technomagic and therefore more potent. It also granted him modest dimension hopping power, though he’s not entirely sure how it works, and can only use it as passive transport, it’s the fastest way to the NoW. [high]

[Skallagrim]

Huzzah...I told you before I thought he was your best character.

[MelonHead]

Damn I'm having trouble with hiders though. They don't seem to work how I remember.

[GreivousKhan]

Shenestra

Name: Shenestra

Age: 123

Weight: 140

Eye color: Dark Brown

Height: 5'8

Gender: Female

Race: Genetically manipulated Fey

Character Tier: Intermediate.

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant,

Physical Description:

Shenestra still wears the bodysuit gifted to her by her master of the Death Cult Order upon the day of a gradation of the Schola Progenia. It's painted completely in ebony black, as dark as onyx, and catches no light neither does it reflect it. partly due to the material of which it is created. The suit does not cover every part of her body however, and where it does not conceal, dark magnificent cloth almost like velvet in texture cloths her. It incorporates a weave of mesh armour, manufactured through a process now long forgotten by time, is lightweight and yet strong enough to stop a killing shot by ordinary projectile weapons. She also wears a jump-pack that is folded into a regular mechanized backpack. Other distinguishing features is the hood she always keeps pulled almost at all times over her head to help conceal her features along with her Bio-mask and coal black visor she wears that conceal of her eyes, the Bio-mask int turn also conceals the lower half of her face. Her skin is also covered in Synskin, a specialized form of body-suit sprayed onto the body that is jet black in color. This covers her entire body save the base of her head.

Personality Description:

Having been raised in the Death cult from an early age Shenestra has had, through various means of brainwashing and psychotherapy, her conscience seared. She thus possess sociopath tendencies, with her seemingly possessing no remorse for those she has killed or will kill. In here mind there are only the marked (the Target), and the unimportant. The former she hunts mercilessly, often tracking them and waiting for days or weeks before striking, latter group she sees as tools or mere obstacles to use or avoid to reach the former marked. She is outwardly cold and distant to others, even to people whom she has close loyalties toward. Something of an ice queen, never revealing her true emotions. She attempts to keep an air of professionalism at all times. Shenestra also portrays something of a sadistic nature, in which she often revels in bringing death or pain. Shenestra is calm under pressure, adaptive, and somewhat critical. Her training and conditioning has also put penalties on some of her social capabilities and mental stability. She is adept with a variety of weapons, from small arms to surface-to-air missiles and of course bladed ceremonial weapons used often by the Death cult.

Skills, powers and abilities:

(high)Trained from the tender age of childhood by the ancient order of the Death Eaters, otherwise known as the Death Cult, Shenestra possess skill and ability befitting that cults great reputation. A life time, several more then the average humans, of training and combat have honed Shenestra into a deadly killing machine. Yet Shenestra skills do not rely solely on her martial talents. She was always instructed that the power of her mind was her greatest weapon, thus Shenestra often seeks to thwart many opponents through planning and procedure rather than brute force. Learning all she can on a target before considering to engage them. However, some of a Death cultist greatest tools are their myriad of biochemical and engineered artificial improvements.

She also possess minor skills as well, thus she is an adept in the practice of parkour(freerunning) and major athletics. Shenestra was also trained extensively in the art of Nether manipulation, which is a form of soul or life energy that spring forth only in time of death. It is abundant in areas that have seen much bloodshed even years later. It is this same energy that fuels much of the Technologies of the Death Eaters. So in a way their primary occupation is also their very means of survival.

Implants-

(High) Automatic atmospheric adjustment implant: This is implanted into the main circulatory system, this tiny implant not only increases the haemoglobin content of the subject's blood, making it more efficient at carrying oxygen around the body and making the subject's blood a bright red, thus proving and increases physical stamina, it also serves to monitor and control rate of nutrient breakdown. A secondary heart is required due to he increased blood flow and activity, but acts also as a back up encase the other should fail for whatever reason. This simplest and most self-sufficient of implants allows a Death Cultist to survive her other heart being damaged or destroyed, and to survive in low oxygen environments. Not just a back-up, the secondary heart can boost the blood-flow around the Cultist's body. This second heart replaces the organ where an appendix would normally be.

In conjunction with the secondary heart another implant allows a Death Cultist to filter her blood very quickly, rendering her immune to most poisons. This action comes at a price, however, as this emergency detoxification usually can only be done if the Cultist is in the meditation form of Reverie, while her blood is circulated at high speed. The organ's everyday function is to monitor the entire circulatory system and allow other organs to function more effectively.

(Intermediate) Second Phase implants: A liver-shaped organ about the size of a golf-ball, this implant is placed within the chest cavity and connected to the circulatory system. It generates and controls 'Gray cells' which are released into the blood stream if the recipient is wounded. They attach themselves to leucocytes in the blood and are carried to the site of the wound, where upon contact with air they form a near instant patch of scar tissue, sealing any wounds the Death cultist may suffer. This process takes anywhere from 4-5 seconds or more depending on the size and nature of the wound, it is also affected by heart rate, as blood cells travel faster with a faster heart beat, such as in battle, this can also effect her rate of healing. As opposed to it being severely longer to heal wounds if she is resting. She approximately has a steady 2.87 cm/sec at rest or not exerting herself. This can increase too as high as 6.91 cm/sec with an elevated heart rate either from combat or other taxing physical activity.

(Intermediate) Third Phase Implants: Death Cultist have a biochemical fluid injected into the base of their spins, intense gene therapy and physical therapy experiments that follows results in a potent secondary nervous system using this fluid, otherwise refereed to as neuroconductive fluid, meaning they are almost impossible to paralyze with teasers, poisons that attack the nervous systems, or electricity. Once one Death Eaters body has adapted to this new nerve system the final phases of implants can begin. During this phase genetic implants that now sit at the base of a Cultist brain, provides hormonal and genetic stimuli which enable a Cultist's eyes to respond to follow up optical-therapy. The end of this treatment grants Cultist exceptional natural night vision in low light conditions, and also have acute hand eye coordination improving aim and visual range, able to see twice as far then a normal human.

(Intermediate) Fourth Phase Implant: Less implant and more intense psychotherapy. With the use of artificial adrenalin delivered at first by nano machines directly into the subjects brain. After a period of two months of treatment, the subject begins to learn to tap into a new power known as 'Reverie'. The first aspect of 'Reverie' is a positive feedback loop in which adrenalin, also activated by fear or rage, suppresses serotonin, the brain chemical that induces serenity. The second is the over-developed fey limbic system. In Fey, as in humans, fear or rage shifts mental control from the frontal lobes, responsible for reasoning, to the limbic system, responsible for aggression and survival. During that shift, Fey and humans usually exhibit diminished capacity for logic and self-control, this has created the fable of ancient berserkers for humans, men who fought with unnatural ferocity and felt no pain or fear . The artificial adrenalin now permitting a Death cultist mind changes this shift from a bought of madness into a sea of serenity and calm. They feel neither pain nor fear, but are still capable of high thought and logic. Making them formidable instruments of death, for within Reverie they feel no pain and thus can keep on fighting far beyond their ordinary capabilities.

(Intermediate) Fifth Phase implants: After fourth phase, the mind is ready for fifth phase psychological manipulation, thus implanted into the back of the brain, this pea-sized organ influences the circadian rhythms of sleep and the body's response to sleep deprivation. If deprived of sleep, the Artari node, born of the chemical released by nanomachines in phase four, cuts in. The node allows a Death Cultist to sleep and remain awake at the same time by switching off areas of his brain sequentially, entering a different form of 'Reverie', a state of meditation, which has certain sleep-like effects. During the meditation, sometimes referred to as a "trance," the cultist conducts a series of mental exercises which refresh the fey's body and mind. During this meditation a cultist is fully aware of the outside world, though breaking meditation in response to external events has an effect on the cultist similar to disturbing the sleep of any other humanoid. This while not able to replace sleep entirely, it increases the cultist survivability by allowing perception of the environment while meditating in this state This means that the Death Cultist needs no more than 4 hours of sleep a day, and can potentially go for 2 weeks without any sleep at all. Cultist do not always need require sleep as such, but rest in reverie for generally half as much time as the other humanoids sleep. This organ combined with the state of Reverie, allows a Cultist to tap into Nether energy without it harming them.

Cultist are capable of sleep, but only when they are severely ill, tired or wounded.

Character Equipment:

(Intermediate) Skin-suit: Otherwise known as a Synskin, this specialized form of protection is sprayed onto the body. Where upon hundreds of thousands of microscopic nano-machines hidden within this substance merge with the subjects outer skin. This process is painless though unsettling and once done leaves the person with a kind of smart weave for skin. It allows the subject complete use of their limbs and body just as before, but also increases their natural strength slightly, while offering a degree of protection on par with modern ballistic armor allowing it to stave off small caliber rounds and knives. But its real strength lies in it's ability to quickly allow the wearer to adapt to extremes of temperature. By regulating and manipulating the Melanocytes cells, thus allowing it to shield the wearer from most harmful forms of radiation or heat and cold.

(Intermediate) Synthcloth: The clothes Shenestra wears under he armored suit and over her skin-suit provides a level of protection in their own right. The fabric was woven while drenched in nether energy. Meaning it also provides decent protection form harmful sources of magic. As the nether within the fabric drains a significant amount of the energy of magical forms of attack.

(High) Bodysuit: The stealth suit that Shenestra wears was developed for the Death Eater Legion by Kragar. It increases the wearer's speed, strength, and agility through the use of artificial muscle technology, based on nano fibers. This light weight design means Shenestra is in no way restricted in her level of flexibility or movement. The level of speed which is now available to her allows her to run and move at speeds exceeding 60 mph. With a dead lift weight somewhere near too a ton. Combined with Shenesta's improved inhuman hand eye coordination, it allows a skilled sword user such as her to deflect a heavy barrage of machine gun fire with relative ease. As well as dodge rounds while at a distance. The suit can also withstand attacks from blade weapons due to sensors stretching between the interior and the surface of the suit comparable to a neural network, which upon detecting an impact, will instantaneously react by automatically contracting and diffusing the damage.

However the suits primary use is that of stealth and infiltration. Shenestra suit was created with electronic and nether weaving technology using optical fibers. By clinging tightly to the wearer's body, the suit provides protection and boosts strength. It also come with a variety of sensors, shield the body from toxins, and interface with nanomachines within Shenestra skin. When within moments of coming into contact with almost any surface, suit can replicate both its pattern and texture. It applies thermal technology to regulate the temperature of the disguised Cultist to better blend with the surrounding environment and to evade thermal imaging. Multiple surfaces can be mimicked at the same time, and preset camouflage patterns stored for later use.

(High) Wrist Gauntlet: A tool or device devised in the early days of the Death Eater Legions, the Wrist Gauntlet or Omni-band was created buy sacrificing and then binding the spirits of a powerful sentient being known as a mens mentis's,more commonly known as the Akarid. These creatures are blessed with uncanny memory, intelligence, and the ability to absorb vast amounts on knowledge. They are known across most of the multiverse as The Archivist Race. Once the spirit of these ancient beings is slaved into a Omni-band, it is a magical device that possess the appearance of a black clawed gauntlet made of metal or chrome like material, with a smaller almost spherical elongated metal built into it's upper segment. These gauntlets then become a multipurpose diagnostic and manufacturing tool as well as a sort of computer used for a variety of civilian and battlefield tasks. These involve such task from activating most forms of technology, to hacking, decryption, or repair. The Wrist Gauntlet acts as a small computer device worn, as its name implies, on the wrist, and features numerous controls for various items of Death Eater technology, as well as a digitized, apparently numerical symbols displayed holographically. The Gauntlet is linked directly into a Cultist's Bio-Mask, Skull-visor and Body suit, meaning it governs many of their functions, including the visors alternate vision modes. It also operates the user's Warp Cloaking Device and, in some cases, can be used too control a cultist's Nether weapons as well. It of course also allows long range communication.

As the control unit for much of a Cultist's advanced weaponry and technology, the Wrist Gauntlet is an incredibly important item for them. In fact, a Cultist's Wrist Gauntlet is surgically grafted onto the individuals arm and apparently fused with their very nervous system to the point where removal of the unit is typically fatal for its owner.

Wrist Gauntlet as a whole are handheld devices that combine a computer microframe, sensor analysis pack, and minifacturing fabricator. Versatile and reliable, an Wrist Gauntlet can be used to analyze and adjust the functionality of all a cultist's standard equipment.

They also possess a fabrication module which can rapidly assemble small three-dimensional objects from common, reusable industrial plastics, ceramics, and light alloys using nether energy. This allows for field repairs and modifications to most standard items, as well as the reuse of salvaged equipment. However their most versatile use is in the manipulation of the nether. Which allows one with a Wrist Gauntlet to shape and channel pure nether into their melee attacks. Pure nether rusts iron, and decoys flesh rapidly. It seems Death Cultist are immune to the negative effects of this volatile energy. As they run on nether to give life to the spirit trapped within, these Gauntlets are fueled and powered literally by death.

(Intermediate) Skull-Visors: The Skull-Visors combine multiple vision modes including zoom capabilities, ENVG (Enhanced Night Vision Goggles), IR, light amplification and imaging technology, and also allows for binocular functionality (though not simultaneously), and thanks to recent improvements of Nether technology, can see even in complete magical darkness, it covers her eyes and most of the upper part of her face. In addition, the NV capability can also reveal things that normally wouldn't be seen, such as footprints, ghost or spirits(spectral imaging), thus allowing cultist an easier time predicting enemy route patterns and stalking their prey, thus reacting accordingly. When heavy artillery such as tanks, or walkers enter the field of view it displays their specifications and armaments. It also takes in body temperature, heart rate and sweat secretion to calculate a opponent's physical and emotional state. Its camera vision utilizes an almost fish-eye perception. Auto-senses contained in the Visor, include thought-activated communication arrays and audio filters(linked with the Bio-mask), targeting reticules and range finders, and tactical displays. Visors can protect from light bursts such as from a flash-bang or similar tool as they also cover and protect the ears.

(Intermediate) Bio-Mask: Like the Skull-Visor, this device is built into Shenestra's body suit, and covers the entire lower half of her face, both work well together. The Bio-Mask is one of the main tools used by the cultist, and along with their hood is iconic with them. As well as performing the basic function of protecting a Cultist's head, the mask also grants the wearer access to facilitates like Vocal Mimicry, and includes breathing apparatus, diagnostics, and visual and audio recording systems. The Bio-Mask is directly linked to a Cultist's Wrist Gauntlet, which controls many of the mask's and visors functions. All together they form one of the most versatile tools used by the Cultist, while the Mask and Visor themselves are a distinctive aspect of their overall appearance. Another feature of the Bio-Mask is its voice translator/recorder. This device can both record and play strips of audio, which a Cultist may use to catch prey off guard, or to simply listen to the voices of their prey, to study their language. The mask and visor are both capable of withstanding incredible damage. But if damaged can be repaired in time buy the wrist gantlet. The Bio-Mask contains a respirator to filter out toxins and draw upon an internal oxygen supply.

(High) Wraith Gate: This device is built directly into the body suit of a Death Cultist, and is controlled using their Wrist Gauntlet. Once activated, it acts somewhat like a cloaking device in that it hides it's wearer from prying eyes. How it differs however is in application. Unlike the optical camouflage the suit normally provides, blending one with their surroundings. The suit creates a powerful field of mass-energy, similar in respects to dark matter. In which it neither emits nor absorbs light, heat or other electromagnetic radiation at any significant level. In fact almost literally dumps the wearer in a miniature pocket dimension. One existing between the spaces of the Martial realm, and the plane of Shadows. While so hidden the wearer is undetectable from optical sensors or motion detectors, or most forms of magic, unless these devices can puncture into other realms of existence. In fact the subject becomes for all intents and purposes a ghost. A being usually trapped between realms of life and unlife, hence it's name. The major downsides of this device come in the form of it's massive intake of energy, as well as the subjects inability to effect anything beyond this skin tight field. Much like the ghost they mimic.( though it should be noted they can harm other spirits, and they the Cultist in turn, as well as see them.) Thus the Wraith gate is an excellent tool in which to sneak past a foe or stalk an enemy, but the killing blow must come only after the field is deactivated. Once done so, it cannot be activated again for 3 whole rounds. (post) As the device must begin siphoning more nether again before activating.

(High) hand-crossbow: This weapon is built into the right arm gauntlet of a Cultist, and looks like a crossbow when extended. Only missing any string or other mechanics a crossbow would possess. Hooked directly into the skull visors, this weapon does not fire normal quarrels, but bolts of pure nether. Since nether cannot be thrown, the Cross-bow was invented. It fires a highly energized ball of nether-based plasma. This plasma ball or "bolt" is accelerated through a magnetic accelerator along the crossbows length, which upon impact with the target detonates with the power of a rocket propelled grenade. It can be charged for an extended period of time for a more powerful shot.

(Intermediate) Hyperphase Blades: A Hyperphase Blade is a type of bladed melee vibroweapon that uses ultrasonic vibrations to increase cutting effectiveness. The blades are fashioned with a slight curve much like a kukri. The blade Shenestra possess differs in it is a energy blade utilized by the Death Cultist which vibrates across dimensions, allowing it to easily slice through armour and flesh to sever vital organs within, or harm the vital essence of a target. Shenestra carries two 19.25 Inch Vibroblades on her back over each shoulder

(High) Twin Scythe blades: Shenestra's twin scythes resemble two handheld sickles, or kama's, and are her primary means of offense and defense. Unlike normal such weapons, they do not use proper blades, but instead resemble to long rode about 18 inches in length. However when wielded by Shenestra, nether energy springs from the upper tips of each rode, creating a crackling length of blade made of pure nether concentrated into points due to powerful magnetic fields that stabilize them into corporeal mass. Due to their make up the blades of energy, reaching lengths of 20 inches with a defined curve as befitting a scythe like weapon, though usually lengthen into 10 inches and possess incredibly keen edges. Allowing them to cut through steel and other metals with astonishing ease. Not to mention the corrosive nature of nether rust and wears away any object it comes onto contact with, unless it is shielded by formidable magic or technology. The two rods can also be conjoined at their base, and thus extend to create a potent pole arm with slicing blades on each end with the overall length of 78.25 Inches. The rods were weaved using raw nether and bonded with weaves of cortosis, giving them potent protection form energy blades and like all Death Cultist war-gear, is made resistant to the effects of nether. The blades made up of pure energy can withstand varies cutting implements or weapons, making them ideal for defense or offense.

(Intermediate) Nero -sensors: The armour's Nero-sensoers, based upon tendril sensors, links directly into the bodysuits wearer's own awareness (adaptive surgery is necessary to make this possible). This is part implant and part of the Bodysuit itself, but allows the wearer complete awareness of their own suit. Hence the presence of the Hood all Death Cultist wear. In an effort to hide neural tendrils connected with the suit. This link, partly spiritual in nature, makes it possible to activate many of the suits functions by speed of thought.

(Intermediate) Omni-whip: This is a tendril built directly into the wrist gauntlet, it is weapon in the form of a almost living whip made up of a single tentacle of artificially made muscle and sinew that can writhe of it's own accord and strike at a cultist prey, too fast to be dodged or parried by normal humans, and can do so by the mere thought of the wearer. Enemies that are not sliced apart by the adamantine hook at the end of the tentacle are aimed to be captured and ensnared so they become easier prey for the Cultist in control. The whip can also be used for other task, such as grappling to a roof or other not easily accessible place. Where the whine of a jump-pack would alert nearby enemies. The whip can also cackle with nether energy when extra force is needed in a strike, converting it into a jolt of electricity.

(Intermediate) Sprint-pack: At last, among a Cultist most noteworthy pieces of gear is their jet-pack, or more commonly called a sprint pack. This back mounted device contains turbines or jets powerful enough to lift even a user in full wargear with relative ease. The sprint-pack, so named due to it's ability to offer a quick retreat, are built into a bodysuit, and using the modular Nero-sensoers built into the bodysuit, a wearer can activate and manipulate the pack with thought alone. They greatly enhance a warrior's mobility by allowing her to travel quickly across the battlefield, making great bounding leaps over obstructions and launching a Cultist into the melee of close combat or beat a quick retreat. Its roaring engines allow a user to slow her descent when leaping from low-flying aircraft, allowing her to kind of parachute with relative safety directly into the fray.

Character History: (TBD)

[Salroka]

Name: Cathak Talon

Age: 274

Gender: Male

Race: Terrestrial Exalt - Fire-Aspect Dragon-Blooded

Random descriptors: When his anima banner flares, the plates on the back of Cathak Talon's armor appear to melt and stretch into skeletal steel wings, which then burst into brilliant flames. These steel "bones" then melt and reform constantly, with no apparent detriment to Cathak Talon's armor whatsoever. The anima banner of the Dragon-Blooded is a raw, powerful effect. While those of the other Exalted can be intense, and even have lasting impact on their environment, that of the Terrestrials can be so powerful as to inflict considerable damage on their surroundings. The effects of the damage is different for each type of Terrestrial, but the source is always the raw power of the character’s Essence.

If the Dragon-Blood’s anima banner is at the 8–10-motes level of display, it inflicts light heat damage for every minute of contact to everything within a number of feet equal to the character’s permanent Essence. This damage is sufficient to destroy cloth and soft wood in a minute or two. It can eventually reduce even treated hardwoods to junk (within five minutes). At the 11–15-mote level, the banner inflicts moderate fire damage for every few seconds of combat. At these two levels, characters who are able to endure lethal damage without the use of armor or defensive abilities (such as other Exalts) ignore the damage inflicted by Terrestrial anima banners. At the 16+ level, however, the banner generates that same damage every single second, and all beings and objects (except the Exalt’s personal equipment, which is immune to the effect at all levels) suffers this damage.

This anima flux effect has had obvious impacts on their Terrestrials’ fighting style and architecture (among other things). At the expenditure of five motes of Essence, the Children of Hesiesh can draw on their inner passions, forcing their anima banner to erupt. For the duration of the scene, the Exalt is surrounded by a corona of flames, which inflicts no damage on his body or possessions but affects anything else he touches as normal flames would. Any bare-handed or grappling attacks against the Exalt cause the attacker to suffer severe elemental damage, and any similar attacks made by the Dragon-Blood inflict additional elemental damage as well. The Exalt can also ignite flammable materials with a touch.

Character Tier: Intermediate

Character Type: Critical Character - Active Multiverse Participant

Physical Description: I'm terrible at writing descriptions... he looks pretty much like THIS

Personality Description: Brash and bold even for a Fire-Aspect Terrestrial, Talon was not well liked among his peers on the Blessed Isle. This culminated in him being stationed in Lookshy. It was there that he went from devoted to the Realm, to hating it. Always an honorable person despite his outright willingness to do battle, he saw the oppression of others as a personal affront.

He is not beyond fighting with someone at one instant, then offering to buy them a drink the next. Talon can fly off the handle if he feels insulted, or blush like a newlywed bride if he is openly flattered. This makes him a bit of a wild-card in the opinions of most people. However, there's nobody better to have on your side if shit hits the fan. In that regard, Talon is an honorable man... but rarely is able to sit idle if there's some action he could be a part of.

Lore-based Powers

ELEMENTAL BOLT ATTACK - Low to Mid Tier Offensive Ability
Cost: 1 mote per 2L damage
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple (Attack)
Minimum Lore: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
The character extends their hand, and a bolt of elemental force flashes forth from it ― a shaft of ice, a blast of fire, a barbed wooden javelin, a stroke of lighting or slashing shards of crystal. This attack has a range of 20 yards x the character’s permanent Essence. The accuracy of the attack is equal to the character’s Essence. A character cannot spend more motes on this Charm than their Stamina.

Athletics-Based Powers

EFFORTLESSLY RISING FLAME - Low Tier Supplementary Ability
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive (At Will)
Minimum Athletics: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
Fire does not oppose Earth in the same way that it opposes Water, but a glance at a bonfire shows the obvious: Fire abhors Earth. With this Charm, a burst of fiery energy propels the Exalt from the earth’s surface in as much time as it takes a man to take just a single step. The Dragon-Blooded may rise from a prone or supine position INSTANTLY. This Charm can also be used to greatly increase how far she can jump.

FALLING STAR MANEUVER - Low to Intermediate Tier Offensive/Supplemental Ability
Cost: 1 mote per increase
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental (During an attack)
Minimum Athletics: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: Effortlessly Rising Flame
Fire lifts the Exalt’s every footstep. The Dragon-Blooded with Falling Star Maneuver may jump, tumble, roll or outrun a foe in hand-to-hand combat gaining a positional advantage that allows him to strike devastating blows.
Mechanically, this Charm adds a moderate increase per mote expended to the damage of an attack. No more motes can be spent than the character’s permanent Essence rating. This damage is added before soak is applied. Normally, this Charm can be used only with hand-to-hand attacks, but with a stunt, the Charm can even be used to gain a bonus to the character’s Thrown or Archery damage. However, this generally only happens when a target has left himself wide open to attacks from the sides and the Exalt can reach his flank swiftly. This Charm can explicitly be used in Combos with Charms from other Abilities.

BELLOWS-PUMPING STRIDE - Low Tier Supplemental Ability
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: One scene
Type: Reflexive (At Will)
Minimum Athletics: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Falling Star Maneuver
The Exalt can double his movement rate for the scene with this Charm. As he does so, he leaves fiery footprints in the ground behind him. At a full sprint, he leaves a trail of fire ― this is normal fire and can cause problems in flammable areas.
To his own perceptions, he is not moving any faster; walking is still walking, and running is still running. However, his walk is twice as swift as normal. Resultingly, he can move up to (Dexterity + 12) yards and still act in a turn and up to (Dexterity x 5) + 25 yards as his only action for the turn. This Charm does not increase the character’s attack speed; it only affects his movement.

INCENSE SMOKE LADDER - Low-Tier Supplemental Ability
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive (At Will)
Minimum Athletics: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Bellows-Pumping Stride
Like a burning ember, the Exalt is propelled away from the ground beneath him, so long as he has a surface to guide his feet. During any turn this Charm is active, the Dragon-Blooded can run up walls, trees and other vertical surfaces as easily as across an open courtyard. This is not a casual shuffle ― the Exalt must get a running start of at least two steps and then run up the wall, using his relationship to the rising element of fire to push himself away from the earth below. The character’s feet do not stick to the wall, and he cannot stand on the wall’s surface ― he can only run up it. Similarly, the Dynast may run across the surface of water while this power is active, though he cannot stop. If he should attempt to run across the surface of dangerous liquids, such as lava or acid, he will stay on the surface, but his feet may be burned badly.

DANCING EMBER STRIDE - Intermediate Tier Supplemental Ability
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant/One Scene
Type: Simple (At Will)
Minimum Athletics: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Incense Smoke Ladder
The character drifts upward, buoyed by a hot updraft. He may move a distance up to twice his ordinary movement rate upward, or once he is in the sky, he can move horizontally as if he were standing on the ground or ascend or descend as he wishes. As with many of the other Charms in this cascade, the only restriction is that the Exalt must keep moving; he cannot remain still, or he will plunge to the ground. The Dragon-Blood can carry as much weight as he can normally lift while using this Charm

Dodge-based Powers

THRESHOLD WARDING STANCE - Low Tier Defensive Ability
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive (When an attack is received)
Minimum Dodge: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
Ordinarily, when dodging an attack, the defender must have ample space in which to move around. The character using the Threshold Warding Stance can dodge attacks while keeping his balance and leaving his feet in one place; as he does so, his torso, arms and legs flicker back and forth like a candle flame exposed to high wind. The Dragon-Blooded cannot dodge attacks when he is entirely immobilized, but so long as he has some degree of freedom to move, he can use his full Dodge dice pool. This Charm works whether the character is standing on a tree limb, is hemmed in by walls on three sides, is up to his shins in quicksand or is dangling by his arms from a great height.

HOPPING FIRECRACKER EVASION - Low Tier Defensive Ability
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive (When an attack is received)
Minimum Dodge: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Threshold Warding Stance
When this Charm is activated, the Dragon-Blooded’s dives to avoid attack become truly pronounced. The Exalted with Hopping Firecracker Evasion can move more than just a few steps as he avoids attacks. He can leap, dive or tumble up to his normal running pace, which is half of (Dexterity + 12) yards, when he succeeds in dodging an attack. If he is in hand-to-hand combat range after a single attack, unless the attacker is able to move and continue attacking. This effectively allows him to evade the effects of many multiple-attack techniques.

Melee-based Powers

DRAGON-GRACED WEAPON - Low Tier Offensive Ability
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental (Before an attack is made)
Minimum Melee: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
The character with Dragon-Graced Weapon can impart special properties to the melee weapon in hand by merely concentrating for a moment. The effect on the character’s weapon is based on his elemental aspect, as described below. This effect is instantaneous; the Exalt must pay Essence for every attack, and he must do so before making his attacks.
Fire: The target bursts into flames and, on his next action, must endure additional damage from fire. This damage is separate from the normal attack and without any modifiers added. The fire gutters out after one turn.

BLINDING SPARK DISTRACTION - Low Tier Offensive/Supplemental Ability
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive (As an attack is made)
Minimum Melee: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Dragon-Graced Weapon
It is common in the course of combat for clashing weapons to give off sparks. This Charm gives the Exalt the ability to elicit a strategic spray of sparks into her opponent’s face any time their weapons clash. The Dragon-Blood can use this Charm any time she parries an opponent’s metal weapon with her own or whenever her weapon hits anything metal or stone in the course of combat. Essence multiplies what would normally be a few flying sparks into a crackling blue and gold spray aimed right into her opponent’s eyes. The opponent will be blinded the following turn, subtracting two successes from all attack rolls made for him. The target of the spray of sparks has a very brief chance to have his character turn away from the spray of sparks. If they succeed, they are not blinded by the attack, but merely a bit disoriented.

GHOST-FIRE BLADE - Low Tier Offensive Ability
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental (Before an attack)
Minimum Melee: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Dragon-Graced Weapon
Ghosts and dematerialized spirits cannot be hit by ordinary weapons. Though many powerful weapons can strike those immaterial beings, warriors caught without that kind of armament are in great danger when facing spirit foes. This Charm allows a Dragon-Blooded warrior to call upon the Dragon of Fire to enchant his weapon, allowing it to strike immaterial creatures normally. The character must spend the Essence and activate the Charm before making her attack. This Charm provides no additional bonus beyond allowing the character to hit dematerialized spirits.

Even Blade Style Description

EVEN BLADE STYLE

THE VARIANT OF MASTER LORD CHAOWIN REGISTROPHE, FIRST OF HEAVEN’S CHOSEN

The famous and popular Even Blade Style is known not just for its practitioners’ subtlety, speed and awareness, but for the story of its founders. The Masters Azure Crane, Zu Rat Te and Master Lord Chaowin Registrophe (self-styled First of Heaven’s Chosen) are three of the most sought-after teachers in Creation. Young hopefuls travel hundreds of miles for the chance to study in one of their dojos. All three learned from the same sifu and once formed a sworn brotherhood that performed deeds of legend—but they split up almost 200 years ago and established separate dojos.

Rumor in the Martial Arts World says the masters now hate each other because they could not reconcile their differences about the style they designed together. (Spiteful former peers say they fell out in a three-way lover’s tiff.) Each master certainly argued for one particular ending to the Even Blade Style. Their passion, skill and inability to agree resulted in something so rare that most masters thought it impossible: Each of them created their own, specific style, that yet began in the same way as the others’.

The three teachers’ dissension also had wider ramifications than they realized, which was revealed when Resolute Brigada, a student of Azure Crane’s, abandoned her teacher to study with Zu Rat Te. Brigada discovered, to her horror, that this gained her not Zu Rat Te’s Even Blade variant, but an entirely new, fourth version of the style. Brigada did not set up her own school because she thought she had failed to follow Zu Rat Te’s ideal path. To this day, she tells most would-be students that they should follow Zu Rat Te’s teaching instead.

Despite their stylistic differences, all three masters (and their disciples who set up dojos of their own) use similar training methods. Students learn basic kicks, blocks strikes and thrusts in the classroom as well as 20 elaborate katas using wooden practice blades. All three masters also enjoy assigning tasks that initially seem useless, arbitrary and impossible. Master Azure Crane insists that her best students be able to catch a buzzing fl y between two toothpicks. Master Lord Chaowin Registrophe, First of Heaven’s Chosen, sometimes starves his apprentices for days on end. The followers of Master Zu Rat Te commiserate about being asked to pull a specific straw from a bale of hay in one swift strike, without warning or preparation.

All three teachers also place a particular emphasis on ritualistic, meditative upkeep of one’s sword. The blade, they constantly repeat, must be treated with loyalty and faith, respected as a close partner and loved as a friend. Since the style focuses so much on sword usage, some dojos also work hard on Melee Charms and encourage students to use them in Combos with the traditional Even Blade Charms. In those places, an apprentice is lauded more for coming up with an interesting and flexible new Combo than for actually mastering the style itself.

Even Blade Style is elementally neutral. It focuses on the blade, not any particular element.

Weapons and Armor:
The Even Blade Style favors slashing swords. Indeed, sifus generally demand that their followers use one and will judge an unknown stylist by the quality of her blade. Master Azure Crane, in particular, does not even teach how to use the style with other weapons or barehanded (though her assistants surreptitiously make sure her students know how anyway).

Characters may use this style while wearing armor, but only up to medium weight.

Complementary Abilities:
Even Blade dojos teach conventional swordsmanship as well as the style’s special techniques. To learn this martial art, a character must possess at least two dots in Melee.

Martial Arts Powers

DEATH BETWEEN HEARTBEATS - Low Tier Offensive/Supplemental Ability
Cost: 2m; Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1;
Type: Reflexive (Before an attack is made)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
Briefly standing very still, the martial artist tilts her head. Then, with a shout, she strikes suddenly, surprising her enemies. This Charm may be used when a character performs an attack at the same time as the user.: The user's attack goes before any other actions made in that moment. The target has less ability to defend against this attack, and the martial artist has both a slightly more accurate attack, and slightly improved defenses against all attacks in that moment
.
If other characters use similar abilities to make their actions go first, then everyone involved acts simultaneously

BREATH AND ESSENCE CONTROL - Intermediate Tier Supplemental Ability
Cost: 3m; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;
Type: Supplemental (Before combat)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Death Between Heartbeats
Drawing breath carefully, constantly wary, the martial artist is always ready for battle. This Charm supplements a Join Battle action. Instead of reacting to combat as normal, the character may spend three motes simply to be ready to fight in an instant. A character who fights barehanded may always use Breath and Essence Control normally, but if he uses a sword, then the martial artist may invoke this Charm only while it is sheathed. When he does the latter, the Charm allows him to ready his weapon as a reflexive action instead of a miscellaneous action.

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LOOK - Intermediate Tier Supplementary Ability
Cost: 4m; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;
Type: Reflexive (Before any attacks are made)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Breath and Essence Control
Concentrating hard, the martial artist blinks slowly, then whirls into action. A character can use the Charm as part of a normal attack, or reflexively to abort an already-begun Aim action. The martial artist focuses, spots a weakness and attacks. If her target suffers penalties to his DV—whether onslaught, mobility or anything else—then those penalties double when the target defends against the martial artist. Additionally, for the briefest moment, the character sees phantom trails of Essence hanging in the air around her foe and may trace their sources.

The martial artist’s player may ask the Storyteller a single effect-related question about her foe—regarding his Charms, enchanted weaponry, divine blessings, general defensive skill and so on—to which the Storyteller must supply an honest, if vague, response. Questions such as, “Is he using any defensive abilities?”, “Why are those arrows glowing?” and “Is it even possible for me to hit this guy?” are appropriate. Inappropriate queries involve specific numbers, odds calculation or relative values.

Close Your Eyes and Look may be used only once per action.

EVEN BLADE FORM - High Tier Supplemental/Offensive Ability
Cost: 5m; Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: Form-type
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Close Your Eyes and Look
With a narrow glance left, right, then straight ahead, the martial artist extends his blade before him and watches a gleam chase down its edge. His mind calms, and his eyes darken; he is beyond distraction and imprecision.

For the rest of the scene, the character cannot be perturbed or confused by anything that would distract him at a crucial moment or disrupt his battle focus, even if it is a magical effect specifically designed for that purpose. Furthermore, due to the martial artist’s lightning-swift cuts and supernatural exactitude, the user obtains an even greater swiftness than any mortal could ever hope to achieve. His attacks are all improved in speed, as well as his movements and defenses. In short, this technique improves the users speed across the board.

Although the Even Blade Form is intended partly to exalt the sword, it can be used perfectly well without one. If a character begins use of the Form-type Charm while wielding a sword, however... being disarmed or losing his blade instantly deactivates the Charm. The martial artist will have to activate it again (taking six ticks and five motes of Essence) to gain its benefits.

FLASHING ZEPHYR SPEED STANCE - Intermediate Tier Supplementary Ability
Cost: 4m; Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2;
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: One Flurry
Prerequisite Charms: Even Blade Form
A cerulean spark blazes in the martial artist’s eyes, then flickers as she spins and strikes, spins and strikes again. She may spend four motes to supplement a flurry in which she makes only Martial Arts attacks. Its speed increases, lending itself to lightning-fast strikes. Her attack rate improves, increasing the number of blows in a flurry. Finally, each cut’s accuracy improves as well, creating a truly impressive onslaught.

FIERY GARDA FORCE ATTACK - Intermediate/High Tier Offensive Ability
Cost: 4m or 4m + 1wp; Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2;
Type: Supplemental (During an attack)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Even Blade Form
With a sudden red flare around her hands, the martial artist brings all her strength to bear in one tightly focused strike. A successful attack deals piercing damage, but the Fiery Garda Force Attack has another aspect. If the martial artist’s foe successfully parries the Charm-supplemented attack, then the character may reflexively spend a Willpower point to break the parrying weapon. The martial artist is not required to attempt this.

Artifacts cannot be broken in this way, but most normal weapons shatter or are sliced in half. A fine, exceptional or perfect weapon (as detailed on p. 365 of Exalted) may resist destruction. The owner’s player may roll one, two or three dice, respectively, with success indicating that the weapon withstood the awful blow. The three great masters of the Even Blade Style teach their students that great quality ought to be admired and that the bearer of a great weapon should be respected. Often times, practitioners will pull back and bow to such a foe respectfully before continuing the fight.

If a weapon is broken by means of Fiery Garda Force Attack, then the martial artist may continue the attack against its bearer. The follow-through is somewhat less accurate, but otherwise it is resolved normally and as if the target had no parrying weapon in the first place.

GRUESOME WOOD KING REVELRY TECHNIQUE - Low Tier Supplemental Ability
Cost: 1m; Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2;
Type: Reflexive (After an attack is made or received)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: One action
Prerequisite Charms: Even Blade Form
A terrible light flares across the martial artist’s face as he surveys the battle. Then, as he slices—with hands or blade—straight through his enemies, the blood that splashes so liberally upon him seems to seep into his skin, leaving only a greenish shadow to mark its passage. The character inflicts lethal damage even if barehanded, and he regains a few of Essence if a succesful attack is made.

STUBBORN JOKUN DEFENSIVE POSTURE - Intermediate Tier Defensive Ability
Cost: 4m; Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2;
Type: Reflexive (Before or After an attack is sustained)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: One action
Prerequisite Charms: Even Blade Form
The martial artist raises his gaze steadily, and his eyes glow softly. The blood seeping from his wounds shimmers a luminous white. Until the character takes his next action, he suffers no wound penalties, he adds his Martial Arts to his bashing soak and he adds half his Martial Arts (rounded up) to his lethal soak. The martial artist cannot prevent himself from dying by using Stubborn Jokun Defensive Posture, but he may use it to act normally while Incapacitated or Dying, and may reactivate it on each action to continue to do so.

DEEP CUT - Intermediate Tier Offensive Ability
Cost: 4m; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3;
Type: Supplemental (After an attack hits)
Keywords: Crippling, Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Fiery Garda Force Attack, Flashing Zephyr Speed Stance, Gruesome Wood King Revelry Technique, Stubborn Jokun Defensive Posture

Roaring, the martial artist rushes forward, her eyes ablaze with Essence. As long as she inflicts at least one health level of damage, her target is automatically crippled. It is entirely possible that the relevant limb may be completely removed. Even if Exalted, a target so injured has suffered a disabling wound (as described on p. 152 of Exalted), which will continue to inflict penalties until surgically or magically treated.

GRAVE CUT - High Tier Offensive Ability
Cost: 5m; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 4;
Type: Reflexive (After an attack hits)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Deep Cut
As her strike bites deep, the martial artist shouts in joyous rage and calls upon all her strength to force it still deeper. Then she turns her hand or blade to one side, wrenching it out in a shower of gore. After her attack has been resolved, the character may spend five motes to double the total damage dealt.

Yellow Jade Hearthstone Amulet - Cathak Talon regains one additional mote of Essence per hour.

Gemstone of Last Resort equipped into his sword. This smooth, dull-brown stone is speckled with black. Its bearer can ignore all wound penalties during a combat. When the character reaches Incapacitated, this effect ends immediately, and he can still die. The bearer can choose to invoke or cancel the stone’s power at will. Wounds sustained while the bearer used this power take twice as long to heal, and the Essence cost of any Charms or other magics used to heal these wounds is doubled.

Bag of 50 Blood Berries - Blood berry vines grow in Wood-aspected demesnes throughout the outer edges of the Northeast. Since they root in tree branches high above the ground, however, they are seldom harvested outside the arboreal Haltan Republic. In the last months of Descending Fire, these vines produce clusters of tart, red berries, which people who know of their properties then pick and dry in the sun. These berries owe their name to their curative power as well as their oozing, crimson juice. A character who eats a dozen blood berries a day can halve the time required to heal one lethal wound that caused a great deal of blood loss when it was inflicted. (For instance, the berries help heal gashes but not broken bones.) Dried blood berries keep for a year, after which they lose their potency.

Character History: The story of Cathak Talon begins many years before the present day. Born to Cathak Jura and an un-exalted human male, Talon was expected to exalt just like his mother. And indeed, at the age of 16, Talon was imbued with the might of the Elemental Dragons. He was then sent to a sort of "basic training" program that his mother had herself gone through more than a century before. The training Talon would receive on the Blessed Isle was fairly standard for Dynasts, with an emphasis on his martial prowess and athletic ability. He quickly mastered the charms and skills taught to him in the program, and moved on to command training.

Here, Cathak Talon learned to give orders to troops and mercenaries, as well as strategize on the battlefield. In time, he was even given command over a small regiment of soldiers. Pleased with his progress, the powers that be passed him through the rest of the program rather quickly... allowing Talon to pursue his own interests. Wanting to become the best fighter possible, and to more easily overcome any "Anathema" he may come across, Cathak Talon began to study the Even Blade Style of Terrestrial Martial Arts under Lord Chaowin Registrophe. Over the next fourty years, he learned nearly everything there was to learn about Even Blade. The form, the techniques, the history, and even the deadliest attacks that the style had to offer. Now nearing his first full century of life, It was time for something... more.

However, before he could request a posting... some of his former rivals in the academy had used the last fourty years to rise in station rather than better themselves... and had Cathak Talon stationed far from the Blessed Isle, in the city of Lookshy. It was there he remained for over another century. After many years, he befriended a group of young men and women from the local guard force. But unbeknownst to him, these men and women would change his life. One day, a man by the name of Yuri did not report to his post. Yuri was one of the mortals that Talon had befriended since coming to Lookshy. And while the missing man wasn't worried about at first... three days passed without so much as a word from him or his family.

It was time to investigate. Luckily, being an Exalt among mortals had many advantages. When Talon said he was leaving to find someone, the guard forces not only didn't stop him... but sent him on his way with a token force of around one-hundred soldiers. This was in addition to the nearly fifty mortals that swore their service to the Dynast over the last ten years. They investigated any and all leads they could find, and learned that for some reason... Yuri had traveled to the city of Nexus. Consulting his map, Talon saw that Nexus was over one-thousand kilometers to the east. "Why would he go there?" thought Talon as he and his forces marched to the city.

The horrifying truth quickly came to light shortly after Cathak Talon arrived. Yuri was an Anathema... a Solar Exalt. Had he been one this whole time? Had he simply exalted and left Lookshy to avoid his friend? The Dyanst needed answers... and he would only find them with Yuri. Finding the Solar took only three days... and it seemed like he wasn't even TRYING to hide. Indeed, when Talon approached, Yuri greeted his old friend as if nothing had changed. ... he had been born to fight them, he had been taught they were evil, he had SEEN them kill his comrades! Then WHY could Talon not attack this Anathema like he had done with others in the past?

His mind torn, Talon instead chose to find out what had happened. As his friend, Yuri was more than happy to explain. While Nexus was known as a popular gateway to the realm of Yu-Shan, few knew why it was truly named as it was. The city was built over a far more mysterious relic... a gateway to a UNIVERSAL Nexus. His Solar soul had once used this nexus gate and traveled the cosmos, venturing to realms that no one in Creation had ever seen and bringing back several objects of immense power in an attempt to thwart the usurpation. However... there was a catch.

Yuri explained that this gate required something to function. It required the heart's-blood of a Solar to operate. And suddenly the truth hit Talon like a great-maul to the head. Yuri had been waiting for him. He wanted his friend to see that there was more to the universe than what he knew. Standing in stunned silence, Talon could not stop Yuri as he slammed a knife into his own chest and pierced his heart. It was then that a blaze of golden light erupted from the floor and enveloped both Talon AND the forces he had brought with him. ... when they awoke, they were in a place most unfamiliar... the Planar Nexus.

Name: Vera Threi Shivan
Aliases/Nicknames: Catastrophe Fang, Airguard, She Who Avenges, Ashstorm

In Vera's Dragonborn culture, both human and traditional names are given to as to function in both their own societies and elsewhere without causing confusion. Each is born with a traditional name (in this case, Vera's was Ashstorm), but this can change with time according to miraculous deeds the individual has committed. During her time as an Auroran sphere guardian, Vera was given the name Airguard due to her diligence. After the end of her sphere, she was given multiple names (Catastrophe Fang, She Who Avenges) by sympathizing non-dragonborn.

Gender: Female
Race: Dragonborn, Weredragon

Called many names across the multiverse, they all share the common trait of being capable of shifting into a larger draconic form at will, among other dragon-associated abilities.

Age: 26

Origin: Aurora Universe

Aurora is an especially peculiar universe in that it is devoid of an "outer space" as if found beyond the atmosphere of earth-like planets in other universes. Instead, it is an endlessly flat plane covered in an unfathomably deep ocean that is seemingly off-limits due to an invisible and impenetrable barrier. Above, small spherical bodies, dubbed "Spheres" for simplicity among the countless races in Aurora, hang forever. Each is varied in size, sometimes being as small as a mountain, or as large as an entire country. Each displays the same level of gravity upon its inhabitants regardless of size. A bright "sun" looms overhead, periodically dimming and brightening to simulate daylight and nighttime. Through use of magic airships, individuals from Spheres can visits others, powered by the dense mana-streams that circulate in the sky.

Vera hails from the Drerie Sphere, home of the dragonborn and ruled by its people as a sort of tribal government. The Drerie Sphere has since been obliterated and its pieces fallen into the ocean below. She is the last of her kind, save for an unhatched egg of hers.

Height: 5'10
Weight: 140 lbs

Family: As-of-yet unborn child in the care of dear friends.
Occupation: Formerly a Sphere Guardian working in the Drerie Dracon's Canopy, now unemployed and wandering the Multiverse.

Alignment: True Neutral
Personality: Unbending, vengeful

Vera is an individual seeking justice upon all who wronged her kind, be it intentionally or by accident, she sees no difference and offers no extra mercy to those one might see as deserving of it. Her goal is simple and etched as a burn into her mind, and no one can deviate her from this path. Though volatile and angry, Vera is still willing to accept aid from others, and is a powerful compatriot to those she teams up with; anyone would be lucky to have her as an ally, as her devotion to good-hearted souls is fierce.

Character Tier: Intermediate (Low-Intermediate)

Natural Skills/Abilities:

Dragon Forme

- Dragonborn Strength/Dragon Strength: In her human form, Vera exerts physical prowess that can compete with most any huamnoid being, even a beefy ork or a werewolf. As a dragon, she can sweep aside armored infantry with a simple swish of her tail, and crush metal in her jaws.

- Fire Affinity/Immunity: In both forms, Vera gains increased physical prowess and energy when subjected to heats upwards of 3,000 degrees F. At a certain point, however, the heat begins to damage even her dragon form.

- Pyromancy/Fire Breath: In human form, Vera can ignite the air around her to create flames, and furthermore manipulate them with telekinesis. In dragon form, Vera can unleash a jet of flame from her maw that can melt steel within seconds.

- Flight: In dragon form, Vera is capable of flying for long periods of time at up to 80 MPH.

Attained Skills/Abilities:

As of yet, Vera has achieved no extra powers beyond her own, or any mystical objects for that matter.

Equipment:
- Clawed Gauntlets: A pair of weapons she holds over her hands and forearms, these gauntlets can serve each as a small shield, a blunt weapon, or as a bladed claw.

History: Vera was born a child of the Iron Keep Clan, one of the many tribes calling its home on the Drerie Sphere in the Auroran Universe. While at an early age she displayed a certain docility compared to her brothers and sisters, her adherence to tradition and driven attitude proved that not even the largest of boys her age could stand against her tenacity. Vera proved herself a worthy addition to the Iron Keep, and soon her renown had attracted the attention of the Sphere on a greater scale.

The victor of a smaller gladiatorial tournament, she was invited to participate in a training regiment, the final exam of which involved involvement in the largest arena match of Drerie. Vera accepted the invitation, went through the military training, and came out in third place at the tournament, just behind two of the most powerful Dragonborn already well accustomed to the military. Despite her own feelings of shortcomings, the clans at large still saw her usefulness and granted her a spot on the Drerie Dracon's Canopy as a guard; one of the highest-ranking jobs in Drerie.

In the Canopy, she worked as a well-paid but often quite bored individual, as few nations in Aurora were brave enough to attack their Sphere. Instead she served her time fighting off dim-witted bandits and banished Dragonborn wishing to do harm to more remote towns and cities. During her years as a guardian, Vera met and fell in love with another Dragonborn of the Gale Clan, a man by the name of Rorark Ven Innes "Earthtower". As her term as a guardian began to close, the two married and Vera eventually gave birth to several children.

Amidst turmoil in the Iron Keep Clan vying for power as the Lord succumbed to old age, Vera and Rorark found solace in awaiting for their family to hatch. But in a flash, their hope for a peaceful life was shattered. The attackers of Drerie came not form outside, from Aurora, but from beyond their reach of time and space. A vast force known as the Angar-Ryllans steamrolled across the Sphere with a superior force, held at bay for a few days towards the end of the short war only by the ferocity of the Dragonborn. Apparently they had arrived en masse through an inter-dimensional portal of sorts, right on the very surface of their home. With no hope left to spare and their numbers dwindling, the rest of Aurora took action, but not a way favorable to Vera, or the Dragonborn for that matter.

As the war raged, Vera took her brood to a nearby Sphere for safety, a place called Wulpat, and home to Aurora's largest population of dwarves. Rumors spread of the Bulwark Sphere readying to take action with its most powerful tool; the Deep Cannon. Word of the Angar-Ryllans wishing to invade Wulpat too forced the nation to completely prevent any transit of air vehicles to or from the Sphere, and so Vera was left stranded. She could only wait, and watch, as her Sphere burned for several days until the fire was extinguished in a single, bright flash. Drerie was vanquished, subject to the power of the Bulwark Sphere's superior technology.

The power of the Deep Cannon was so great that even the Angar-Ryllan's portal was warped, turned into a lingering maelstrom that tears apart everything that approaches. The remains of Drerie fell upon Wulpat from above, and the meteoric storm that ensued destroyed much of the hemisphere she had taken refuge upon. In the fiery chaos, all but one of her children were left alive, which she took with her into the company of the fae of Wulpat. Trusting in the peaceful nature of the fae, she entrusted her child to their care for the time being.

She would find a way to take revenge upon the Angar-Ryllans... and the Bulwark Sphere.

CS

Name: Niks Reklaw

Age: It's an animated bone and doesn't care about age.

Race: Skin Lich

Gender: N/A, mostly depend on the skin (Previously and identify as male)

Random descriptors:
-Height: (default) 6'1", changeable as it changes skin

-Weight: (default) 25 pounds, same as height

-Appearance:
A lanky tall human bones. The bones looks and feels sandy but is actually as hard as steel. Eyeball-shaped mossy green flame burn in his eye-sockets (Think Sauron's eye without slitted iris). Its voice are somewhat a mixture of coughing, gurgling and a grinding teeth. There's also its trapped soul, burning and floating in its, usually covered, ribcage.

[Will be updated as needed.]

Character Tier: Intermediate

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant.

Personality: Grumpy and like to think itself as more intelligent than the other person next to it. It's also capable of 'slipping' into the character of the suit it was wearing although
often time it also don't have the patience of going through some quirks.

Powers:
-(-)Skin Suit: Niks is capable of 'stuffing' itself inside a suit made from living subject, gaining control over its movement, physical strength and abilities (due to 'muscle memory') along with its weakness. Some abilities doesn't get copied, especially those that are granted by the mind and soul, such as spell incantation and demonic contract. When a suit gets mutilated, Niks' bony self would 'grow back' to replace it. It can change suit but the action took time (roughly 5 minutes). [Comparison: divers and their wetsuits]

-(-)Skin Harvest: A ritual to harvest the flesh and skin of a "willing" subject for its own use after separating the skin from the bones. The ritual is time extensive and requires the donor to remain immobile for a large portion of it. Skin harvest can only harvest skin, so those who don't have skin like slime or made of some substance, like djinn, is immune to this. Exoskeletal stuff is acceptable though.

-(Intermediate)Disease Magic/Miasma: Niks is capable of generating a liquid or gas-like substance that inflicts disease as it will once the substance hit unprotected flesh. The disease range from nausea, fever, paralysis, diarrhea, etc. Niks is also able to combine the symptoms. The diseases are magically induced, as such, most mundane treatment would fail and even the healthiest person will fall prey. However it can be removed easily using curing magic. Severity of the diseases caused by the miasma depends on how much charge(s) used before releasing it. Niks can also opt of adding another symptoms rather than the severity of the disease. The severity and disease stack on the victim unless cured. In case of paralysis, it stacks from localized numbness (like anesthesia or being slapped really hard for single charge) to complete paralysis (require 5 charges).. Maximum range of 100 yards. The Miasma can also be used to analyze unknown poison and disease in a body. Once analyzed, Niks can then create them on its own through miasma. However, this application requires touch and undisturbed concentration.

-(Intermediate)Hex/Soul Rot: Niks breathe out a lungful of bile colored gas, that will, upon contact, burn and corrupt the soul of its victim rendering them weaker. It can be warded only by magical means and left physical objects intact and unharmed. The hex would linger where Niks breathed it out for 3 turns before dissipating to nothingness. All undead are immune to this burning effect. Breathing in the gas is highly agonizing and eliminate the 3 turns lingering as the gas burn the victim from inside out.

Abilities:
-Flesh-stitching/patching: Mainly used to 'fix' the skin-suits as they have lost their regenerative ability. Even so there's a limit on how much a suit can be fixed. In extension, Niks can also use this as pseudo-surgery to living object. If you happen to be a patient, do note that Niks usually won't care about using anesthetic.

-Preservation: Given the tools and time, Niks can preserve skin/leather to stop it from rotting.

Weakness:
-Has the strength of average man in his bony glory.
-Exposed soul: You damage this enough, Niks' a goner.
-Bleeding effect: When Niks got one part of its bone core cut off, its soul would start to 'leak' out.
-Did I mention that Niks' as light as bone? At least when not wearing a suit

Equipment/Loot:
-Bone Staff: A walking staff made from bones, though it's unknown from what the creature it came from. It's hard, strong and durable. You can probably ask someone to make something out of this.
-Crystal skull: Upon death, Niks' remaining tainted magical power would gather and condense in its skull, crystallizing it into a large translucent green colored crystal. The skull can be used to shoot agonizing bolt of pain (from its eyes) or crushed to release the whole energy as hex that covers a 5 meter area in diameter.
-"Surgery"-kit: A complete set of tools for flesh-patching. A quick glance at the tools can lead someone to assume that this is a set of sewing kit. *locked* (No special stuff here, and why would you take it if you can get one on your own?)

List of Skin suits and its condition:
-???
-Evvie suit: Fresh. Received quirks while wearing: 'dumbed' down speech, a feeling of invincibility/overconfidence, wings and tail mannerism, mock routine.

[Skallagrim]

Asuras your fire immunity allows you to withstand the surface temperature of the sun...I think you are safe from most people able to generate heat/fire as I doubt, save for a few anyone can generate that great a temperature.

Name: Sukoh the Spirit Bear

Age: 51

Gender: Male

Race: Spirit Bear

Random descriptors:
There's really not much to say beyond; Sukoh is a gigantic and chubby bear.

Character Tier: Intermediate

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant.

Physical Description:
Except 14 feet tall from shoulder to ground on all fours, 32 feet tall on his hind legs.

Personality Description: Sukoh is no primitive animal, his mind is well developed and has human level intelligence. Sukoh has a full range of human emotions, but is kind and peaceful to all beings. Except other bears. Sukoh is compelled to cannibalize on other bears for some reason. Though in the long run he's an incredibly kind individual with only the intention of being nice to everyone.

Sukoh can actually cry, and is easily insulted. He doesn't get angry when insulted he'll just sit down and cry because you hurt his feelings. If you decide to physically hurt Sukoh he will not hesitate to crush you. He is a kind bear, not a pacifist.

Skills, powers and abilities:
- Being a big fat bear:

• Big: Being this massive has some advantages, example, he weighs 64,000-ish pounds. This size can be thrown around like an enormous battering ram. It also makes him difficult to strike a deadly blow on, as his head and heart can be kept well out of the way of danger.
  
  Despite him seeming incredibly fat he's primarily comprised of muscle and dense bones. These muscles are dense enough to resist some slashes and stabs by unkempt blades, but sharp weapons will cut through them easily. Though like all meat it doesn't cut like paper, you might need to take a good few swings to cleave cleanly through his muscle.
  
  His bones aren't quite proportional, to compenate for the extra weight they are a bit thicker and more dense per square inch than a normal bear. At their thickest they are almost a foot around, they're as hard as normal bone, but a lot thicker.


• Fat: His fat is almost five feet thick, every step he takes makes him wobble. Your sword better be pretty long if you intend to seriously wound him. The fat itself is from almost constant consumption of creatures as big, or bigger, than buffalo.
  
  As a bear he is incredibly carnivorous, but he does not survive on a diet of solely meat. Consuming practically anything green to fill his stomach when meat is low. He doesn't need to eat, but he doesn't like to go without. He never kills without reason, and will always consume anything that he kills.


• Bear: His teeth are around seven inches long, and his claws are over two feet long.
  
  His jaws can crush an Elephant's femur with ease. The average bear's bite can tear a hole in a cast iron frying pan, so with as much weight and strength behind Sukoh's jaw, one shudders to imagine what it would do to a human. Though a proper comparison would be: Can bite through an Abhrams Tank.
  
  He also has an incredibly sensitive nose and ears. Both of which are bigger than normal bear ears and noses, so he can pick up sounds and smells from incredibly far away. His nose can pick up a week old smell from 20 miles away. His ears can pick up sounds from all directions over the distance of 1 mile.
  
  His strength is proportional to his size. He is capable of moving objects equal to his weight. Which I remind you is upwards of 18,000 lbs. He is capable of dropping every single pound of that force in a single blow.

- Is a spirit, has no biological requirements. There's not much to describe here, he doesn't need to breathe, eat, drink, or even excrete what he takes in. His body just reuses whatever is inside of itself. Effectively he's self sustaining unless he doesn't want to be.

- As a magical being he can freely travel with magical portals that have been set up, he's able to find them without guidance.

- Animal Dominion: As an animal spirit all animals respect and fear him, they bow their heads and cower behind trees should they see him. Any animal that he wishes to hunt will allow him to feed on them. No wild animal has ever attacked Sukoh, and no wild animal will. If any animal is under the control of another being, usually as a pure spirit he supercedes their control, unless they're more powerful than he is.

Character Equipment: Nothing, he is a bear.

Character History: Like many animal spirits Sukoh was just a normal bear, until his kind was in great danger. An army of warriors from the north cut a swathe through the beautiful forest that he was born in. Apparently a rabid bear had killed a group of children and this army had vowed to put bears to extinction for what this one bear had done.

Sukoh attacked them and was slain. But rose again as a gargantuan bear spirit, the warriors were terrified, they fled north and a human has not been seen in the forest since.

Other Important Info:
- He's massive, but almost half of that is fat. Sukoh is not a fast character by any stretch of the word. He can move around about as quickly as a human on a casual stroll, and in full sprint he's about as fast as a human in full sprint. He can cover large tracts of land quickly, but only because his legs are incredibly long.

- Even though he's a spirit he is a young spirit, he has no resistance to anything besides getting stabbed. But that's only because of his fat. Set him on fire, and he'll burn just like anything else covered from head to tail in hair.

- Sukoh may be a bit too nice, and if you treat him well he'll follow you to the gates of hell and back. His loyalty is undying.

- Is not immortal, he can be killed just like any other creature. His spirit status is only a placeholder until he proves himself worthy to become a divine being. Though his life is greatly extended, time will also kill him.

Physical Description:

My Drawing

She has a short, sturdy looking body. She doesn't have too much fat due to her level of activity, most of it collecting on her thighs that make them a tad pudgy. You can see some muscle but it's not like a body builder look. Her Caucasian skin tone, due to it's ability to heal itself, has no scars or any other traces of damage such as sunburn, leaving her not as tan as someone who would spend so much time outside. Her chest size is almost as flat as a board. She has some dragon body-parts coming off of her body. First are her two inch long ivory colored horns, a little thicker then a thumb, sprouting from close to the top of her head but slightly foreword and pointed a few degrees off to the side. These are a portion of her skull. She has a two foot long tail extending from the bottom of her spine, starting at it's base as thick as two fists and slowly tapering into a thin tip. The dorsal portion (facing to the outside) is covered it very soft and small green scales. The ventral (inner-side tissue) is a light shade of green, feels kind of muscular like a snake and has small ridges. She has two wings sprouting from her upper back that are about the size of her torso when spread out, revealing tan, leathery feeling tissue that make up the portion of the wing that catches the air. The bone portions of the wing have the same green scales as her tail.

Her face is surprisingly soft and unassuming. However, her light purple eyes with slitted pupils like a cat (although note quite as pronounced) can look very fierce, but only on rare occasions. Her eyelids are a tad pointed. She has a button nose and narrow lips. Her two "canine teeth" are more pointed then in normal humans, but not enough to stick out of her mouth. Her hair, including her eyebrows, which has nothing out of the ordinary beside the color, is light purple. She very rarely fixes her hair, and given her active outdoor lifestyle makes it more often then not a complete mess. She does cut it on occasion when it's so long that it rubs against her wings, so the length could be anywhere between shoulder length to midway down her back. She often cuts it herself so it's rarely done properly. Like her hair, it's unexpected for her to have fixed up other areas of her body. She almost never wears makeup, nail polish, etc.

For mannerisms, she growls and tucks her wings inward when angry, often accompanied by sharp flicks of her tail. Flicking of her tail doesn't always mean she's angry, however. If the tail is loosely flowing around from side to side with some playful flicks then she's clearly content. When she's very excited her wings can flap like crazy. It's obvious when she's worried by if her tail tenses up. She likes to let out "ferocious roars" during battle or at other times to psych herself out. If wanting to mock someone, she very commonly sticks out her tongue. She sometimes bites people when angry, but not always to cause serious harm, just to prove a point that she's angry with them.

She often wears dark green colored bikini armor. She was given this outfit for free by a particularly worried group of women for her lack of attire, who got her to wear it by saying how awesome she looked in it. She has trouble wearing any normal clothing due to it burning, her not liking it to begin with, and her wings and tail in back need freedom of movement. The top portion of this armor has small chains clip together above and below where here wings sprout from, and her bottom portion has the chains clip just above her tail. The armor is designed to look like dragon scales, although this is an imitation. It has average defense for iron armor, but obviously doesn't cover much. She doesn't wear anything else unless forced to by others.

Personality Description: She's stubborn, overconfident, and almost never backs down from a fight. If something is boring to her then she rarely does it. That being said she can be incredibly lazy at times, putting off stuff she doesn't like to do until the last minute. She's prone to pouting and throwing temper tantrums when things don't go her way, and that being said she hates to lose, especially if someone does something that she considers to be cheating or they make a fool of her. She's okay with loosing if it's an epic battle that was fun and made her look cool despite the loss, such as if she was able to dropkick a God and lose, it would still be something to brag about. She's an attention hog, enjoying boasting about accomplishments and entertaining people with what she considers entertaining, such as her feats of strength. She's not a very good listener when it comes to other people, however. She has little patience, especially for long, boring tales.

Despite all of her flaws she tries to be a good person. She's not a bad girl, being more like a misbehaved one, especially when she doesn't understand all of the human rules such as personal property, which resulted in most of her more serious crimes at first such as unknowing theft and trespassing. The more time she spends with humans the more she's getting the hang of how to properly act, although she still has some issues on occasion and doesn't care much for formal etiquette even if she does understand it. Related to this fact is her lack of understanding of the purpose of clothing. She thinks it's mainly just for protection from the cold and has no concern or concept in the slightest for modesty. Her naivety in this matter, and in many others, know no bonds. She often has poor posture and behaves in ways a lot of people are too embarrassed or find socially unacceptable to do such as putting her feet on the table, picking her teeth, etc. Her behavior is often considered very tomboyish. Her grammar and pronunciation can be terrible and she's not completely fluent, but has been taught most words that commoners in a fantasy setting would often use. Just don't expect her to be quoting Shakespeare. She has no knowledge in writing. She's not very intelligent, although she has her clever moments from time to time. It's more accurate to say that she's uneducated rather then dumb, although she's still not the sharpest crayon in the box by any means.

During combat she has no problem killing monsters or other enemies, although is not completely unmerciful so won't strike down those who no longer pose a threat unless they're clearly going to die anyways and should be put out of their misery. Sometimes if she gets worked up her dragon instincts take over and she feels an almost sadistic urge for battle and enjoys wiping out the enemy, and in such a mood it's harder to stop herself from getting carried away. She may even start behaving animalistic like a predator stalking her prey. However, normal fighting won't trigger such a response. The enemy has to be particularly cruel.

For good qualities she never betrays anyone (well, in a serious way), is playful, stands by her word (if she says she'll do something. She does tell lies), protects those weaker then her, and lends a helping hand for a variety of tasks. She's not motivated by money, having few personal possessions. She's self sufficient, so doesn't have to rely on humans for her survival for most aspects of her life. However, when she does do things for humans she often gets compensation usually by way of food or a place to stay for the night. She doesn't mind sleeping outside and hunting for her own food, but also doesn't mind the human way of living from time to time. Her primary motivation for helping humans in the past was that she enjoyed the attention and praise that her heroic deeds brought to her. Another motivation was her enjoyment of combat. Fighting monsters that threatened the humans not only fulfilled her primary objective, but it also gave her things to fight in the meantime. However, as she spent more time with humans then she began to actually feel some attachment and willingness to protect those she cares about.

She likes fighting (for fun, not necessarily serious conflict), winning, praise, attention, massages, meat, warmth

She hates loosing unfairly, being ignored, boring stuff, cold, vegetables

Skills, powers and abilities

*Ambidextrous
*Tail trained for balance, whipping, and some grasping (poor at finer manipulation and can't get a good grip)

*Some practice with the sword, mace, dagger, and unarmed combat, but very limited official weapon training
*Surprisingly incredible at juggling and belly dancing

Heat resistance- (High) 100% burn resistant and very high tolerance of anything heat based. She can still suffer from heat stroke from insanely high temperatures over long periods of time. A far more likely scenario is that she could inhale too much smoke and die that way. She can swim in lava no problem.

Physical Upgrades- (Intermediate) Her physical abilities given to her by being half dragon are her greatest asset, putting her on par with an actual dragon yet compacted into her tiny body. She can hit so hard it can deform or even punch entirely through steal depending on it's thickness. Running speeds can hit 60 miles an hour, her flying almost double that depending on wind or gravity. Her endurance is enhanced to keep up on scale with her speed/strength. Her durability is able to take a beating from blunt force trauma, but cutting attacks have a little more effect and magic especially. She can still be defeated through physical attacks, even from someone with normal strength, but it would just take more effort. She also has enhanced reaction times and enhanced sight, smell, hearing, and taste. She can see in the dark better then humans, but not as much as cats.

Regeneration- (Intermediate) She's able to completely re-grow her dragon body parts, about a week for her wings or a couple of days for her tail, although in either case it would still not be at full strength for at least double the amount given. Her wound healing for the rest of her body is also greatly enhanced, even things like nerves being able to heal, but she cannot re-grow lost body parts. She could heal all of the damage if you place the missing limb back into place for a while and make sure not to put any stress on it, but to get back to full strength using this method could take multiple weeks. Luckily for her none of her body parts rot, allowing her to find and reattach lost limbs easier. It goes without saying that her normal wound healing is also accelerated, but not so much that you'd see her wound close before your eyes unless it was really minor. Some wounds could be healed fast enough to save her life from otherwise certain death, but won't be so quick to heal in it's entirety. She also can't have accelerated healing forever. Take enough damage for too long and her healing factors will begin to falter to that of normal human levels until a day or two of rest. All in all, due to her regeneration and durability, it's hard to kill her without hitting vital organs, by far the most reliable way being cutting off her head. She can still pass out from blood loss or otherwise be knocked out even with all this healing going on.

Tail Twitcher- (Low) Like a lizard, Evvie can pop off her tail if she gets caught by it and the tail can squirm around by itself for a while, as her body also has nerves that can twitch on their own accord when the brain isn't active.

Dragon Spirit- (Low) She's not easily frightened or intimidated even through magical means and can tolerate pain greater then most people. This could be a disadvantage if she underestimates or doesn't notice a wound.

Noncorruptable- (Intermediate) Due to her dragon half, she cannot be turned into anything else such as a vampire or werewolf. One exception is that she can be turned into a zombie, as that is more simply making her undead rather then altering physiology, or whatever it is you'd like to call it.

Internal Flame- (None by itself) She has magical powers through use of her internal flame, a corporeal fire in the center of her body that can only be detected by those who can see it's magical or thermal energy. This flame gives off heat, making her average body temperature at around 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold temperatures weaken her internal flame, thus limiting her magical abilities, although the flame can help keep her warm until its simply becomes too weakened. In normal temperatures, as long as she's well nourished and in good spirits then there shouldn't be a problem with her internal flame weakening too much. Fits of intense rage or determination can enhance it briefly. The flame only goes out completely upon death...probably. The following powers need magic, and thus internal flame, to pull off.

Fire Breath- (Intermediate) The flame can grow into a stream as twice as large and hot as a flamethrower at maximum output. She cannot breath in while doing this and gets short of breath faster the larger she makes the flame, so at maximum she'd have to stop to catch her breath after around 5 seconds. Because this fire breath is the basis of all her fire based moves, she can tend to run out of breath a lot if she relies too much on her fire attacks. Besides temporarily running out of breath she cannot run out of fire breath as long as her internal flame is still burning strong. If she sneezes she has trouble containing fire shooting from her nose.

Smoke Breath- (Intermediate) Burning fire in her stomach, she can then open her mouth and breath out a bunch of smoke.

Fire Control- (Intermediate) She's able to control her own fire. For example, she can breath it into her hand and then form it into a ball to toss it at her opponent. Once fire exits her general proximity then it begins to loose it's thermal energy as fire normally would. Therefore, she can keep a flame on her body active for long periods of time, but toss it out at an enemy and it will go away rather quickly. Fire control takes concentration, so even if she can keep fire going on her body for a long time, get distracted and it might go away.

Solid Flame- (High) She can create flames that form a physical mass of fire capable of deflecting moderate attacks as long as she can keep the flame going, making it necessary to continually remain in contact with it and supply energy. To use this move she has to blow fire as normal and then mold it together. The larger she makes it the more energy it takes, and creating more then around half of her own body size and this move starts to falter. She can mold the fire with her hands or feet.

Body Heater- (Intermediate) Evvie can heat up her body temperature even higher then it is normally at the expense of some constant energy use. Touching her can result in an instant burn if using this ability to the maximum extent, but otherwise it would just be uncomfortably hot. This increased body heat can also kill off some bacteria, viruses, etc. in her body that are sensitive to temperature. She can make this technique heat herself up less, sometimes just to warm herself up in cold temperatures.

Scale Generation- (High) A very tiring process, she can form green scales over any of her skin to provide extra defense and then shed them off later. Scales takes around 10 seconds from the beginning of its formation (it looks like a coat of sinewy glue at first) until it completely hardens to the defensive power of thin steel plates. Her scales are much better then her body at cutting and magic defense, her main weakness when it comes to defense. The scales begin to flake off after around a minute in battle scenarios, but if she's not putting any stress on them then they could last at least around 5 minutes. Due to the strain she cannot cover the same body part again with more scales until after a day or two of rest. Any hair where the scales are generated is destroyed, and the thick hair on her head inhibits scale formation.

Flight- (Intermediate) Her wings are not large enough to lift her weight without magical capabilities, being at best like having two small parachutes, so she can only fly by sending magical power through her wings. This magic is like second nature to her and uses hardly any effort, but the fact that it does require some can stop her flying if any anti-magical attacks are used against her.

Booster Wing- (Intermediate) This power gives her quick bursts of speed of up to 80 miles an hour for a second before quickly slowing back down to normal speed. She cannot control her flight path during this, going straight ahead. While setting up this move her wings must raise up and stretch outward to their fullest extent before snapping back, giving a clear visual cue that she's up to something just beforehand. Wind visibly blasts out from behind her as she travels, which can knock people behind her with an equal and opposite force. This move can only be used once every 5 minutes or so without severely straining her wing muscles. For a minute afterwards she can't use any other powers with her wings besides very weak versions that are almost useless.

Wind Gust- (Intermediate) She can use her wings to blow winds up to 50 mile per hour, but used too much or too strong and she runs the risk of tiring her wings out. This is like a weaker booster wing that sends wind forward instead of backwards and doesn't move Evvie as long as she braces for it, but does tend to unbalance her otherwise.

Reincarnation- (None. Not a battle skill) Evvie can create an egg (no relation to her ovaries). During death, the egg becomes fertilized through only her DNA, making the embryo inside a clone of herself from which her internal flame/soul transfers into. During it's final preparations the egg is either voluntarily or involuntarily spit out of her mouth. The green colored egg slowly grows in size to that of what could hold a normal sized baby. The egg shell is harder then steel and magically protected from most attacks until it begins to break apart once she's ready to be born. She doesn't retain any knowledge or skills from her previous life besides occasional fuzzy memories that she most likely mistakes as dreams. Due to this reincarnation happening even if she's dead, the only way to kill her for good is if she's still in the egg.

Weaknesses- Grabbing onto her horns slowly drains her to what a normal human girl would be capable of. Luckily she quickly goes back to normal upon release. Coldness...kind of. She can survive in colder temperatures for a bit due to her internal flame, but her internal flame/powers are weakened as a result. Disliking the cold can also cause problems for her. Most magic, poisons, non-physical attacks get through her defenses relatively easily. Intellect. Long distance combat. Ticklish armpits.

Character Equipment: She only wears what is found in her physical description. Although she has had possession of some weapons in the past, she will not start with any for this.

Character History:

Her birth is a mystery to most, including herself, both from a scientific standpoint and who her parents are. The truth is that she was born from a once wicked dragon god named Grethalroune, who had slowly became infatuated with a human woman that he had kidnapped from a village he was terrorizing for it's wealth. He transformed into a humanoid body in an effort to trick her as if he was a knight coming to the rescue. However, she caught onto his ruse and put up a good fight to escape due to him not used to his humanoid body. During the struggle an actual knight came in and wounded him severely with a sacred weapon able kill gods, so it took all of Grethalroune's strength simply to escape with his life empty handed, and he was too wounded from the attack to even regain his power of a God. Only he himself knows what he was up to for the next couple of years, but it was clear that he was angry and wanted revenge on the knight and then recapture the woman. However, he was once again defeated in the attempt, only to surprisingly be spared at the request of the woman. He didn't understand human emotions well so was left baffled for a long while at this, contemplating his predicament while locked in a cell. He was able to regain his god form, but human emotions gained from his experiences spent in his human body had changed him and he couldn't bring himself to use force to break free, much to his own dismay. He suffered severe atonement, but at last had changed his ways and tried to help undue the damage that he had done. The woman, who he found out was named Liralith, forgave him as he slowly began developing a true relationship for the first time. They had one child together, Evvie, before Grethalroune's death while fighting together with the knight to protect his family against the rival Dark Dragon who was angry at his once ally changing sides. Both Grethalroune and the knight died from their wounds but the dark dragon was forced back. He apologized one last time before moving on to the afterlife together with the knight.

The different reincarnations of Evvie usually follow the same trends unless placed in a different scenario then normal or something extreme happens. Most times she wants to be independent and travels out into the wilderness, exploring and occasionally visiting human settlements when she needs the interaction. Due to her human mother being a relatively normal mortal she had only been around for Evvie's first life, so since then she has either had adopted parents or, more often then not, none at all. She is one of the most powerful beings on her planet, so certain reincarnations of her have gotten a lot of notoriety and legends. The most famous story tells of an immortal dragon goddess covered in glittering emerald scales who single handedly defeated the Dark Dragon and his army; a slight exaggeration to be sure. Her second reincarnation did in fact "slay" him in an epic battle, but with the help of many allies, and the Dark Dragon's resilience allowed him to live on.

The most common Evvie I'll use, from which this character sheet is based on, is six "Evvies" down the reincarnation line, still well within the fantasy time period. She was found as a baby outside in the snowy wilderness by an old hermit named Ithrus, who saved her from nearly freezing to death. He raised her as his own child, feeling responsible for her due to no other villagers around the area wanted to raise a half dragon girl. Evvie was largely independent even from an early age, and she even ran away at the age of six, falsely believing that she could make it on her own and didn't feel like she belonged with humans. She fled south, away from the cold, but she came back to the old hermit near death from wild animals and the blizzard. After Ithrus nursed her back to health for a second time she began to form a bond with him and realize how much he truly cared for her, and how she couldn't do everything on her own. However, this revelation didn't stop her from wanting to grow more powerful and be able to fend for herself, and maybe even help him out in the future. She ventured south a lot once she got further into adolescence, but she never stopped visiting up north on occasion despite her hatred of the cold. There are some warrants out for her arrest due to people claiming that she burnt down an entire village and slaughtered it's inhabitants. The only witnesses around claimed to have all seen a half dragon girl running from the scene of the crime, and Evvie was the only one of her kind that they knew of. A lot of the more friendly villages ignored this rumor and don't believe that she'd be capable of such a crime. On occasion she'd help them out and defeat monsters that would have harmed civilians, so to most people she's more of a guardian then a destroyer.

It would turn out that she was framed by another half dragon/half human girl known as Avris, who has red wings and a tail, black hair and black eyes, and larger horns. She was born an illegitimate daughter to the Dark Dragon that Evvie's father and the knight fought against long ago, causing their deaths, and Evvie fought before, not succeeding in killing him either as it turned out. Avris's birth was probably used completely as a power play by the Dark Dragon. Avris has all of Evvie's abilities and then some. They fought many times, and despite the odds Evvie was able to kill Avris after disabling her wings during an aerial battle and having her plummet down into a canyon far below. Evvie didn't think to check for the reincarnation egg, which survived the fall and went on to reincarnate Avris. With the constant cycle of reincarnations and resilience present in Evvie, Avris, and the Dark Dragon, such battles showed no sign of stopping. There was some technique that killed Evvie's father, who was equally resilient, but it's probably unknown by all but the one who killed him, the Dark Dragon himself.

At some point she found, or more technically stumbled upon, a portal that sent her to the nexus, where she has now been exploring the new worlds without any actual goal in mind at the moment.
