Name: Roark
Nickname: N/A
Age: 75
Appearance:
Him (without the beard)
Background: Out of all his brothers and sisters, though he doesn't think of them as such, you wouldn't be wrong to think Roark was the odd one out. For as much as his siblings reveled in causing chaos and destruction wherever they went, Roark would rather be left alone and kept to his own devices. Not truly evil nor good, just like the element he is associated with, he is physically stronger than his siblings, honing it in the solitude of the mountains and forests of the realm. He is best described as “chaotic neutral” in that he doesn't seek out doing evil, but if provoked even in the slightest way, he will not hold back his power in the slightest.
This is the root of his main problem and the reason why he isolates himself so much. Due to the fact he is an offspring of the Shade, he is at his core evil and that evil essence is constantly nagging at him to lay waste to all those before him and assert his dominance. By honing his physical prowess to an incredible degree, he has staved it off for quite some time, but the moment he uses any magic the dark energy coursing through his veins begins to fill him with anger. If this anger isn't kept in check or stopped, he won't be able to control what he does, be it demolish an entire town or possibly try and kill one of his siblings. This wanton rage, though it may make him nearly unstoppable to most threats, is a catch 22 in that he goes through his magical reserves extremely quick. He has only ever released his 3rd ability once, destroying a small hamlet and slaying all those who tried to escape, the exertion and amount of magic used aged him by a good margin.
Now, the call has been put out for him to assist his siblings in a mission for their father and Roark makes his way there even though he would rather remain isolated. He knows he cannot defy the Shade and because of this he envies the mortals, even with how fragile their existence is.
“You mortals don't know how lucky you are to have a choice in your life. Even those that hunt my kind down, you have the choice to go back or go forward...I have no choice but to serve.”
Magical Element: Earth
Magical Ability:
1. Rock Hard - He becomes as hard as a rock (dem inuen-tho's), deflecting most forms of attack, but roots him wherever he activates it. Flip side of this ability is when his 3rd ability is burned, he is rooted in place, but this shell can easily be broken.
2. Heavy Handed – Boosts Roarks strength, making his armor and axe almost feel like nothing. The longer this ability is in effect, the angrier Roark gets, as well as decreases the duration of CotC and his magical reserves.
3. Coming of the Colossus –
In form The area around him begins to tremble, causing fissures to splinter around him. Once the shaking reaches it's peak, the earth erupts around him, and just as the dust and earth settles a new rumbling begins, as he becomes a 10ft tall stone golem. This form increases his anger by 10x, for no longer is he cool and collected, becoming a threat not only to those that stand before him, but to those who align themselves alongside him. The form only lasts a short time, completely draining
him of his magical and physical power. As the stone form crumbles around him, he is encased in rock wherever he collapsed, but this can be easily smashed open. He is not unconscious, but has absolutely no energy both magically and physically left at his disposal.
Weakness: His anger, which if kept unchecked will cause him to burn to much magic in his 2 or 3, leaving him defenseless.
