Overlord Thraka
Height: 9'8"
Weight: Probably about 1000 pounds
Age: 184
Race/Species: Were-Tiger
Tier/Influence: 4 (regional); Powerfully muscled, but crippled so that he can barely walk, let alone move quickly.
Powerful shaman, but his magic requires time-consuming rituals to preform.
Group(s): None yet (Though I've got one in mind)
Appearance: Tiaz stays in his wereform at all times. He's massively muscled, but severely hunched and walks with a pronounced limp. His tail is overlong and drags along the ground. One of his legs is bent badly, permanently ruined and keeping him from moving quickly. His head and face are basically that of a Tiger's. He wears a heavy cloak, under it he wears a feathered headdress and a clothes much like of the Inca or Aztec people.
Personality: Arrogant to the extreme, he sees humans as weak, undeserving of life and generally to be destroyed. However, he does tend to enjoy time with human females...
He's Intelligent, Wise and extremely cunning. He's manipulative and deceitful along with a large dose of violent rage when he's been pushed too far. He's also highly unstable and many consider him utterly insane.
Abilities, Talents, Traits, Powers:
Powerfully built: Tiaz is in excellent physical condition. He's incredibly strong, but due to his being a cripple, he cannot often use this to his advantage. His physical strength is probably equivalent to that of... Captain America twice over, maybe a little less.
Tier 4
Shaman Magicks: Tiaz is a powerful tribal shaman. He has a variety of magical abilities, including the following specific examples.
His powers include: (All powers work roughly like they would in DnD or a generic fantasyland)
Tier 4 Pyromancy (fireballs, pillars of fire, flamethrower like flameblast.)
Tier 4 Cryomancy (Freezing cold blasts, freezing parts of structures or people on touching them, creating various shapes of ice.)
Tier 4 (Reanimating fairly generic zombies and skeletons, but with a great amount of time he could practically bring a person back to life)
Tier 4 Dynamancy (Lightning Bolt!)
Other various Tier 3 misc spells of less power. (Identify, Very Minor telekinesis, speaking silently to other through telepathy, etc)
The offset for his powers, is that they require various rituals to preform. To cast a simple fireball for example, he'd need to spend at least 10 seconds chanting and either clumsily doing a tribal dance or preforming hand-signs. Where as to bring a person back to life, would take weeks and dozens of sacrifices
Tier 4 Psychology.He's excellent at getting into someone's head and bringing out what bothers them most, be it childhood trauma or loss of a loved one. He manipulates people into thinking him the good guy, then turns them on each other, often making stupid aggressors kill each other without lifting to much as a finger.
Immortality and Invulnerability: Tiaz's magical item has changed him greatly. It has halted his aging process, leaving him physically about 50 and has turned him into a Undead-like creature. Normal weapons no longer are able to really affect him. When wounded he feels no pain and black toxic ooze spills from the wound instead of blood. Any severed limbs or digits can be reattached Frankenstine style. To kill him, one must either stab him through the heart with a Silver or Gold weapon, or destroy his head somehow. (Cut it off, cut in half, blow it up etc...)
Tier 4? 5?
Items:
Mysterious Skull: Tiaz's Magic Item, allowing him to wield his shaman powers and remain alive. Without it his body would age, wither and die, and we would be powerless. He always carries it in one hand. It's that of a overlarge humanlike being and the sockets glow blue.
Tier 4 methinks
History: Tiaz was born in a dense jungle where he was raised in a tribal fashion with other Werelords. Upon reaching adulthood at 20 he left to wander the world. Along the way he developed a hatred for the puny humans and other races who dared oppose him. Eventually he came across a powerful magic skull, hidden in a cave deep in a mountain. Recovering it he gave himself over to the power of the skull, making him immortal, virtually invincible and incredibly powerful.
After that he set himself up as a Lord in the mountains, controlling a group of Orcs and humans and taking many slaves. He lived in wanton excess for years with great amounts of food and pleasure until it was brought crashing down by a little Half-Elven girl. She crippled him after escaping her bonds one night, then broke out of his fort. Several months later his fort was attacked by a military strike force and he was forced to flee. He's spent the last half century skulking in the shadows, attempting to build up his forces and find the Half-Elf who ruined his life, so that he may kill her, bring her back and kill her again, then repeat the cycle for eternity.
