Name: Valerion Draviis Age: Unknown but there has been odd sightings of a man of this description from as long as 400 years ago. Race: Breton Class: Necro-Knight( Specilises in Necromancy and dark magics, but is a fearsome wielder of a 2 handed blade and wears heavy armour) Appearance: [hider=Picture][img=http://38.media.tumblr.com/651d23fa0877fe8efdcee993d54ceb13/tumblr_n0vgc6dUer1rdy3s5o1_1280.jpg][/hider] [hider=face][img=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110812194752/dragonage/images/5/51/Hawke.jpg][/hider] Personality: Manipulative, malicious, cold, twisted and enjoys a nice glass of port with his meals. This man is the manifestation of an upper class sociopath. Other than the fact that he is a very evil person and won't stop at murdering someone in order to achieve his goals he does however see the point in keeping the masses alive and without fear of his existence for this generally complicates life for Valerion and after all these years alive he has learnt a great deal in making others like him, or appreciate him being alive. So whilst his real personality is that of a demon, the one he shows is that of a nice person, happy and cheerful but he generally only shows that amongst the commoners. If he is with a group of people that can handle themselves he lets his true side show. Bio: Valerion has spent the majority of his life in Cyrodil, but travels back to his homeland of High Rock every now and then. He enjoys it in Cyrodil the diverse culture and people is something he enjoys, both him and his other side; Just like wines are different so are souls and Bretons souls can grow quite stale after constantly consuming them. This is one of the major sides to Valerion that few people know about until its too late. He steals souls in order to continue living. He either does this by using soul gems that are full, or using his spell Goethia which tears the recipients soul from their body and he then absorbs it. The length of time he accumulates from each method is as follows. Soul gems-24 hours (Regardless of size) Black soul gems-48 hours Goethia- 5 days And he can siphon souls from the dead around him, each dead body is one hour. 2 things caused this ability to arise. The first is his insatiable quest for strength and absolute power. And the second was his fear of death. Valerion one day wishes to become the Daedric Prince of Death and so he studies it with great enthusiasm. For a great deal of his time he has lived amongst necromancers within cyrodil, using them to achieve his own ends and further increasing his knowledge of the dark art of Necromancy. However the necromancers were all killed in a purge at the beginning of the 4th era and Manimarrco was one of them. With that Valerion decided to seclude himself in a abandoned fort in the Jeral mountains which was just near a trade route between Cheydinhal and Bruma. He caused this route to become infamous as traders and travelers would frequently go missing along it, sometimes even mercenary caravans that numbered in the 20's still vanished never to be seen again. This continued for about 190 years, the cause was never discovered and one day the route became safe again, the threat and evil that loomed over it seemingly vanished over night. The only reason for this was because Valerion felt that he had exhausted his methods and knowledge of Necromancy and he craved for some fresh air and to walk amongst the people once again. He traveled to numerous places all over Cyrodil, with the stray drunk being found dead in a ditch a night later from his arrival, thankfully drunks tended to befall tragedy quite often so suspicion never arose by his presence; although his attire did attract attention and queer looks, but other than that Valerion was treat like any other person. It wasn't till 4E 201 that Valerion felt that his precense was needed elsewhere. Reports of dragons on the border to the Imperial Occupied Skyrim started spreading throughout Cyrodil. This piqued Valerions interest, it'd been hundreds of years since anything worthy of note had happened and the fact that this Dragon Born; he decedent to Tiber Septim himself had died brought severe disappointment to him as that soul would surely have brought him closer to his end goal of Prince hood. But when some doors close new ones open, Valerian decided to head for Skyrim and tackle the growing Dragon threat for that amount of power he'd assume from their souls would surely benifit him. Equipment: His armour is called- "Deaths Regal Wear" Whilst the majority of it is padded velvet the other pieces of his armour is a Ebony-Moonstone composite. This is how it receives it's Dark grey and yet shiny sheen, it is also etched with gold in various points. The armour itself is what one would associate with a medium armour, it's quite light but offers protection to the important parts and good mobility to boot. He carries a large claymore- a large 3-foot 2 handed blade that is made from tempered steel and heavily enchanted, it steals life force from the enemy on the other side of the blade and chills their body, numbing sense and bringing them one step closer to the fires of Oblivion. For this reason it's named "Frost-bite". He also carries an array of knowledge in summoning and necromancy magics, he can ring back the fallen around him to fight for him as well as call dremora and daedra from the planes of Oblivon. His most used spell however is Goetia (Pronunciation- Go-ee-tia) This tears the soul from the other being, even if he fails to do so because the other foe is too strong the damage is massive. The sheer mental and physical trauma sustained from the process almost makes the other person wish for death. This can be used on Dragons too. Other: Enjoys High society and has a lot of gold to his name, accumulation of great deal of time has made him very rich. But he is conservative in its use. Valerion is slowly dying, he requires souls to continue living, every day he goes without absorbing a soul causes him to wither, bones grow weak, eyesight becomes weak and his heart beats slower... after 1 week he will get desperate and take anyone's soul, innocent or otherwise, be it in the middle of a city or in the wilderness it matters not. Because he is technically not alive, restoration magic is useless on him.
