- Character Sheet:
Name: Damien Varomere
Appearance: Backstory: Damien was left as a baby at the doorstep of a church that was also an orphanage. A tag in his crib had his full name, but such a family wasn't known in those lands. He was found to be gifted with magical ability as a child, which was uncommon, but what was even stranger was that his power seemed to revolve around the domain of death. The caretakers and clergy of course tried to ween him away from this, exorcise him, and even beat it out of him, but the best they could accomplish was to force him to conform to the best of his ability. Damien didn't hate the people that raised him, but he became convinced that he would never been understood or accepted. Something was wrong with him, and he would never be trusted or fit in.
Depression and desperation seemed hit lot, until he barely came of age and met a young woman who was completely different. Sariel was a cleric, an evangelist, an angel. She showed him the good faith in a whole new light, and Damien feel hard for her. Finally, he found acceptance in someone and could open up and begin to believe that even he could do good. And then she was murdered.
Spiralling quickly into despair and rage, he would have killed himself except for the fact he wanted vengeance so badly. Damien retreated in his grief into his home, their home, and secretly turned to the only forces he knew that would hear him and grant his heart's murderous desire. Fuck the holy gods, for this is their idea of hope and reward. Damien yearned for the coming of Asmodeus' tyrannical order, for the comfort of a cut and dry contract, for a powerful deity that held to his word. In hell, he would throw in his lot, and let this chaotic joke that is life burn.
Shortly after his nightly prayers had begun, he found her wedding ring for sale on a random peddler's jewelry stand, and then he knew it was a gift, a sign. Possessively, he took it form the peddler, refusing to pay, and nearly got into it with the street guards, but he would die before he ever let that ring leave his person. He would find the person who had taken that ring off her finger. To this day, he wears it on a cord around his neck.
Personality: Damien has become cold and unfeeling for the most part. He is fully devoted to evil and the cause of his infernal lords. He looks to them for guidance, for their commands, and works to bring about the return of Asmodeus to the material plane where he will rule all of existence forever, as it should be. He is ironically obsessed with the ring he keeps around his neck and never parts with it. He generally never talks about it.
Abilities:Damien's magic is basically Pathfinder necromancer spells equivalent to high level. However, I'm going to give him some additional abilities.
He can see souls, even through walls, whether they are inside a body or not. If a soul is outside of a body, such as with a ghost, he can "do things" to it. That might include destroying it, binding it, putting it into a new body, torturing it, or whatever. If an enemy is dying or unconscious, Damien can try to tear out its soul.
Damien can phase into the spectral realm, allowing him to interact with the "shadow" realm and also making his body half-ethereal. This would lessen any physical or magical damage he might take on the material plane. By fully shifting into the spectral world, he could walk through walls and reappear on the other side, etc.
Lightning bolt spell.
Resistance to cold. Cold skin.
Weakness are that he is not totally mentally stable and can't take much physical punishment.
Equipment: A personal sword, if ever he might need one. Robe with a hood, travelling gear, unholy symbol, other minor items.
