Full Name Vish Kalastria Gender Male Age 19 Year 4 Birthday January 18 Astrological Sign Capricorn Species Vampire: Legend tells of ancient times, when mortals of Lucis lived in fear of a monster known as Tepes, the Blood Dragon. Master of forbidden sorceries, as well as a murderous cannibal, he was reviled by other dragons as well as mortals. As punishment for his sins, a council of dragons formed and trapped him in the shape of a mortal, stripping him of the vast majority of his power. However, Tepes used his mortality to his advantage, and bred with the savage beast-men of Agadeem, extracting his vengeance by unleashing his dark brood. These descendants are today known as Vampires, half-living monsters in the shape of men that feed on flesh and blood to survive. Adapted to the fetid swamps and volcanic jungles of the land of Agadeem, Vampires are adept predators, with keen senses, and the strength and speed of ten men. They live for hundreds of years, some longer with the use of magic, but their infant mortality rate is shockingly high. Their bodies' magical constitutions are weakened by dark arts, and many cannot bear the strain of the power in the blood. The brood of the Blood Dragon share in their progenitor's skill in dark and unholy magics, and have spent many years constructing arcane monuments, upon which they conducted bloody rituals. Civilization is not entirely below them, though, as they have founded the port city of Al'Akir, where traders flock to sell and procure all manner of illicit or unwholesome goods. Class Blood Sorcerer: Vish is heir and student to the ancient Vampiric arts of blood sorcery, forbidden arts passed down by the Blood Dragon himself. Weapon While direct combat is largely below him, if needed Vish wields a traditional Vampire sword, forged of dragonglass, and with a handle of ebony and sinew. World Lucius Biography Scion of the Kalastria clan of Vampires, the current tribe wielding the most power within Agadeem, Vish is among the "highborn" of his clan: those with enough wealth or influence to cow other Vampires (and their respective thralls) into their service. Despite his dubious status as nobility, Vish has little interest in the squabbles and feuds that the majority of his clan frequently involve themselves with. His is a higher calling: one of might and magic. Vish seeks to uncover the lost secrets of Tepes, and reclaim the true power lying in wait within his draconic blood, with the ultimate goal of conquering all of Lucius. Or rather, that was his goal. With the merging of worlds, Vish has reorganized his priorities. By attending one of these merged academies, he can bring the might of the Earth to his cause, and once his own world has been brought to heel, the next world may very well follow. Personality Vish displays an aura of stoicism, arrogance and casual sadism to most that encounter him. Not that he is a particularly unfriendly person, this is simply what a life raised among sociopathic power-mongers does to a person that would have been charming had they been raised elsewhere. Though he is paranoid and cruel, he does hold a personal code, and can be affable when the mood strikes him. Partner We shall see. Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s) As with all vampires, Vish has a fundamental weakness to magic, particularly that aligned to light or fire. Holy magic scorns him, and he hates and fears fire. Sunlight, while not immediately lethal, sears his flesh on direct contact, and is disproportionately painful. If he is exposed to too many of his banes, left unfed for too long, or is surrounded by great bloodshed, he can lose control of his higher reasoning and fall into a berserk frenzy, where his only thoughts are to fight, flee or feed. Skills/Abilities/Traits Extremely intelligent and coldly cunning, Vish has traits that lend well to his status as a sorcerer. Having been schooled and trained in the dark arts since he could speak, Vish's skill is such that one would expect from someone several years his senior. Blood sorcery has many applications, including divining of knowledge from blood, weaponizing the blood of oneself or others, draining the life of others to heal his wounds, creating minions of flesh and nightmares, invading or controlling the minds of others, inducing rot and entropy, and laying painful curses on one's foes. Vish is well-read on the ancient history of Lucius, and is both accustomed to and decently adept to the maneuverings of court politics. Like any Vampire worth their blood, he can catch and kill his prey as silently and efficiently as any common assassin without any particular effort, and has the numerous physical advantages conferred by his race. Theme Song "Not many have the honor of standing in the presence of a king." Other That's not paint on his face.
