An anthropomorphic male fox, standing at a mere 5'1 and a lithe build. His fur is mostly white, with an almost silver sheen to it, with orange flame patterns on his chest, along with his limbs being orange up to his elbows/knees. His eyes are fully orange, swirling like a hearthfire. He does have a small mane of red fur atop his head, giving him a look of constant bedhead. Nine plush tails sprout from his rear.

Metamagic - Flame Burst: Consumes 5 Arcana Points. Enhances a fire spell to deal double damage and ignore any Fire Resistances present in a target.

Archmage
Wisdom of the Ancients: Grants access to Grand Ritual Magic. This is a series of spells requiring either esoteric components, the participation of other Archmages, or both, but their effects are said to shift the world. The Scouring, and it's shifting dimension, are examples of Grand Ritual Magic.

Homeward Bound: Can open a portal to the Scoured so long as he is outside of combat. The process takes an hour.
Royal Guard: Can summon six Scoured Elites to him. 1/day

Equipment:
Robe of the Scoured: Marking him as the ruler of the Scoured, this clothing is actually made from spun flames. Grants high defence for the user, as well as boosting any Fire damage dealt by the party.
Chains of Prometheus: Forged, well probably better to say created, from the body of the Fire Elemental Lord Prometheus. The chains burn with the twisting hatred of the fallen lord for his slayers, and act as a potent magical focus.
Ring of Alexandria: A ring that was worn by the Lords of Alexandria, marking their right to rule. Grants high resistance to poisons and mental magic.

In-Game Backstory:
Blaze, or the 'Scoured King' as the Humanoid players call him, joined the game with some friends who had a similar interest to him in history. They formed the 'Library of Alexandria' guild, which didn't discriminate against anyone so long as they had an interest in history, based in the city of Alexandria. For a time, they had peace with their endeavors, scouring the lands in search of lore. Unfortunately, some greedy players began to notice the guild were in possession of higher quality magical items due to their endeavours. This is what led to the Scouring of Alexandria, and Blaze gaining his first rare class.

The Scouring of Alexandria was a war... no calling it a war would be legitimizing the actions of the other guilds. It was an Invasion. Fifteen guilds, numbering near a thousand members, swept into the city the Library had made their base in and began slaying all the 'devil worshippers' who lived in the city, looting as they went. The invaders had sheer numbers on their side, so Blaze and the other magi came up with a plan. Using the ancient texts found in the various ruins, dismissed by other players as it was written in an unknown language, they pooled together the combined power of thirteen magic users, to cast the first World-class spell in the game. It literally changed the landscape itself as fire burst from the earth itself, consuming the city and it's environs into lava and spawning hundreds of elementals and other creatures of fire, turning it into the the Scoured. Only four of the casters survived the initial casting, and of those four only Blaze had the resistance needed to survive the spell itself, if only barely. The sheer amount of destruction by his hand, as the others lost access to the achievement by dying, gave him access to the Fire God's Reincarnation class... and set his Alignment to -100.

His friends and guildmates left the game soon after, feeling no point in continuing if this situation would just come again. Felix though? He stayed in the Scoured, carving a memorial to not just his guildmates, but all the NPCs that had been slaughtered by the greed of his fellow players. The notifiation he eecoeved for slaying all the NPCs and players had left him with such a sense of guilt, even though he had no choice in the matter. He actually slew the Elemental Lord known as Prometheus whilst trying to locate information on the dead NPCs, the burning chain he created from it was worn as pennance for the creation of the Scouring. He also performed a number of deeds for the dead, helping them to pass on. Oh, and of course he had to slay a number of players who thought they could raid the ruins for rare items.

Upon completion of the memorial, his Alignment finally shifted back to positive and he exploded into light as he attained the final evolution of the Kitsune race, along with a new Class. Through his actions at putting the dead to rest and defeating many of the lords of this new area of Fire Elementals, he had become the King of the Scoured. Taking command of the elementals, he changed his guild from the 'Library of Alexandria' to the 'Legion of the Scoured'. With the power of several elemental lords, along with knowledge of ancient magic, he moved the Scoured into another dimension, though at the time Blaze thought he merely moved it to another server, in order to protect the artefacts and the memorial.

For a time, Blaze focused purely on enacting vengeance upon the guilds who had forced his hand, unleashing waves of elementals upon their bases, plundering their relics. He even became known among the playerbase as a travelling Raid Boss: The Scoured King. But warfare against other players was not why he played Yggdrasil, and eventually returned to his passion of treasure hunting, albeit backed up by his army of fire elementals.

At the time of the Shutdown, Blaze was combing the Crypts of Uther hoping to find out whether they had implemented Excalibur in the game.

Scoured NPCs:
Faust:
Originally made by Blaze's guildmate Raphael as the Library's chief archivist, his role changed in the wake of the Scouring. Originally an Elf, he was turned into a Flame Revenent after being slain in defence of the archives. He possesses a Fallen Paladin Build, based around tanking and dealing damage to his opponents. Amusingly he is now much closer to Raphael's temperament, being quick to anger and not putting up with anyone's bullshit. He protects the library of the Scoured with a fever bordering on fanaticism, so it's best to be careful around the books.
Newton
Made by Patch Worke, a fellow guild member, this Automaton was one of the only NPCs to survive the Scouring, though he did receive heavy damage. Rebuilt using the cores of five elemental lords, he is now a Hellfire Engine. Like his creator, Patch is a crafting NPC, possessing little beyond the base Fighter class in combat. Patch was created with the personality of Kryton from the series Red Dwarf, one of the man's favourite shows.
Emrys
According to the character lore, Emrys was the fellow apprentice of Blaze in fire magic. A Scoured Elemental Lord, he acts as a war coordinator for the forces of the Scoured. A similar build to Blaze, he is a powerful DPS based around destroying his foes with flaming death.
Scoured Elites
Though Nameless NPCs, these level 55 Elementals are the strongest non-lord monsters in the Scoured. They come in three types, Healers, Magi, and Soldiers, each based around a different aspect of the battlefield.

Username: NuttirButtir

Player Profession: Bartender

Character Role: Status Healer – a support class that mixes healing with buffs and debuffs

Alignment: -120

Appearance: Zealot and Awakened forms.

Race/Racial Levels:
-Mummy (10)
-Pharaoh (10)
-Old One (5)
-Careless Whisper (5)

Job Classes:
-Cleric (15)
-Cultist (15)
-Erudite Mage (10)
-Supplicant (10)
-Crawling Chaos (5) – only available to characters with levels in heteromorphic humanoid races with a divine bent, job levels in both divine and arcane classes, and a negative alignment value. To earn this class, one must beat (either alone or in a group) every eldritch-type boss in the game while having a divine item equipped called Gnawing Secret, which increases the aggro that the wearer generates against eldritch-type enemies if the wearer is not a tank. The player must also have at least three NPCs that have levels in both human and eldritch classes, and in-game biographies that loosely describe them as followers of the player.
-Entropician (5) – only available to characters who've spent at least a full day of playtime both above karma level 100 and below karma level -100. To earn this class, one must clear group content while queued as a healer without using any actual healing skills, cause the deaths of party members, and save party members. One must also have their username mentioned by a certain amount of other players in game chat. The number required of each is random within a range for every character.

Abilities:
Erudite Mages deal with forbidden arcane knowledge and techniques. They can inflict debuffs on enemies, and create crystalline or book beacons that confer benefits like quicker cooldowns or regen on allies that stand near.
Supplicants are aggressive divine supports that sow discord among enemies and make it easier for allies to wreak havoc. Their kits focus on building stacks of Frenzy for themselves while doing so, empowering their abilities.
Crawling Chaos are divine supports that confer tactical advantages, controlling and weakening enemies while strengthening and healing allies, and building up Frenzy all the time. With enough Frenzy, they can achieve Awakened forms and become potent damage dealers capable of changing the battiefield itself at the cost of supporting their allies.
Entropicians are divine tricksters that focus on subverting enemies, turning their own gimmicks, tricks, and trump cards against them. They have abilities like spells that destroy invincibility, curses that causes healing on the target to damage the healer, buff and debuff inverters, and curses for dead bodies that kill would-be revivers.

Equipment:
-God-King's Corona: a Pharaoh's headdress and the mark of a ruler. Its subjugating presence lowers the Resist of foes in a radius
-Ritual Beads: a string of various 'beads' of dubious origin. Increases the casting speed of spells that do not inflict direct damage
-Defiled Scrap: a length of ancient cloth said to have been worn by a mad prophet who authored books of unholy writ to educate mankind in defiance of a truth that must not be known. If the wearer is successfully affected by the same spell in immediate succession, the second is reflected to the attacker
-Principle Paradox: a profane amulet bearing the holy symbols of a number of different religions, showcasing them all despite their conflicting ideas. Striking the wearer's elemental weakness will inflict that elemental weakness on the attacker and give the wearer a new weakness at random, both for a short time.
-Slipdash Band+: a ring prized among thieves and rogues. When performing a dash, the wearer briefly becomes invisible and will not collide with entities
-One for All: an eye-catching raiment that heralds the champion of the common man, one beloved by all. Single-target buffs applied by the wearer to allies radiate outward to apply to up to three additional allies at 50% strength and duration, where applicable
-All for One: a subtle hood that obscures the features, masking one's true intent. The wearer gains a portion of the magic power of allies who have active buffs imposed by the wearer
-Ars Animo Fingi – translated as 'Arts Unimaginable', this ancient tome is said to contain the sum knowledge of mankind on subjects that truly matter. Increases the duration of statuses imposed by the wearer

In-Game Backstory: Nut's gameplay experience is one colored by his laziness. A lover of strategy games and not really into MMOs, he joined Yggdrasil at the urging of some friends, and chose the easiest and most in-demand role he could think of to play: healer. As he played more, however, he found a hidden side to the healer experience he grew to love: trolling. Being so integral to others' success, he could mess with his allies, let them die or get them killed, and revive them as he pleased. As a result he got more invested in specialization within the game, both PVE and PVP, and he worked to earn more abilities, spells, and jobs that suited him. He didn't even really care about winning or getting the job done, but instead frustrating his opponents and messing up their own tricks and strategies. That mindset resulted in a build that was valuable in a roundabout way, and after falling out with his friends he ended up getting recruited by a noteworthy guild. His bent toward trickery and subversion fit right in there, complimenting the playstyles of other non-optimal builds that needed such support to function properly. This time he fit right in, and while he logged on for only a few hours every few days, his skillset was in demand and his help in clearing high-level content left him with an impressive array of spoils.

Cohorts
Nut's cohort is a party of four NPCs, which he made both to fulfill the Crawling Chaos class requirement and to serve as a party to help him get through content without needing to rely on other players.
-Willow is the tank of the group, incredibly sturdy. She is designed as the group's protector, a priestess given monstrous form and capabilities. Now, while she is a little loopy, she believes she is a mother to the group and treats them with kindness under her authority.
-Sinew is a twisted lancer, deceptively fast and deadly. She is designed to be vicious and bloodthirsty, a perfect berserker. Now a thrill-seeker who thrives on fighting, she grows bored quickly and tries to invent her own games to keep herself busy until the next fight.
-Coil is an assassin with high mobility and a propensity for blending in. He was designed to be the very image of a cultist transformed by his worship of forbidden things, wholly unremitting in his dedication. He is a sycophantic fanatic for Nut and is more than happy to preach about how great he is, or about the cosmos, in long-winded and grandiose ways.
-Antlers is a druid, a mage who typically deals damage but has been customized to be able to heal so Nut doesn't need to. It is silent and uncanny in its mannerisms but unerringly loyal to Nut, although it has a demonstrable fondness for animal husbandry and gardening.

Final Note
At the time of game closure, Nut was using an oversized mount to prevent a couple other players from being able to click on the sign that would allow them to purchase a housing plot.

In-Game Backstory: Hunk has anger management issues that has frequently caused him to lose his job. Having tried various methods: meditation, boxing, exercise, martial arts, nothing really helped him except video games. Through being a raging engine of destruction he was able to somewhat healthily way, unleashing all that he had to bottle up during work hours. Initially he was a heavy solo player, having to branch into Oracle and other support classes to heal himself as his anger issues drove away most other players. But it did not drive away all other players, eventually he found a group of other wage jokies that were agree to be subservient to “The Man” and from them found another outlet for his rage, heavy metal. United by their appreciation of Heavy Metal they formed a guild and eventually, after meeting IRL, formed a band of their own. They formed the “Helheim House” but mostly just called it Hel House, a guild of Bestial races with the Berserker base class. It was befitting that as the leader of both the band and the guild Hunk advanced in the Rage Prophet class, enabling him to intensify the rage abilities of all the guild members. From that class he selected a spirit guide, an Avatar of Sezelrian , Orcish god of Magic and Fire, which guided him to the Blessed of the Fire God rare class quest line. He had to hunt down the Erymanthian Boar and destroy a rare item drop from it in “Sacrifice” among other offerings, he had to burn an NPC village to the ground, and finally, take on the “Burning Curse” by throwing himself into the sacrificial pyre. Only after advancing in this class he was able to qualify for the “Elementalist of Fire” tournament. The tournament involved various tasks that would be inherently difficult and humbling for those who focused on fire magic, subjugating a Red Dragon, retrieving the forge fire from a Fire Titan’s castle, culminating in a battle royale. Hunk’s fire resistance and martial abilities gave him a distinct advantage of the squishier casters, so he was able to get the rare class Elementalist.
