Corbin Eldritch
Aliases: The Ghost of Eldritch Forest.
Age: Unknown - over 200 years.
Race/Clan: Pure Vampyre
Appearance:
- The telltale golden eyes of pure vampyres.
- The blood diamond crest of the Eldritch bloodline: An artifact capable of housing the essence of an entity. Depending on the essence within the crest, Corbin is granted certain abilities directly influenced by the trapped essence. These can be swapped out for another essence if he chose to do so. Currently, his crest houses the essence of a powerful winged infernal creature and grants him the use of its mighty feathered wings. (Any other abilities pending.)
Personality: Corbin is resentful of lesser races for the near extinction of his kind, as far as he knows anyway. He lacks empathy for the lesser races. He was of noble blood among his kind and still carries that entitlement to present day. He feels much pride over his ancestral home and his bloodline. He's protective over his ancestral lands and home, of his species, and is very egotistical.
Battle Proficiency: Corbin primarily uses his sword, Greyscale: Greyscale feeds on the flesh of his victims, restoring his stamina and endurance the more he uses it to kill. His need to feed is lessened by feeding Greyscale as well. Greyscale's edges glows with the absence of light as it feeds, as it empowers Corbin, and while glowing is sharp enough to slice through stone. As a vampyre Corbin naturally has enhanced senses, strength and speed.
Talents:
- Spectral Phasing: The innate ability to access the Abyss, another plane of existence. He can phase in and out appearing to teleport across distances. This ability is weakened in daylight as well as when he needs to feed
- Shadow Vortex: His connection to the abyss grants him the ability to occasionally summon globes of swirling darkness that possess their own gravitational pull and sends those unlucky enough to be caught in it to the Abyss
- Memory Sap: Temporarily gains access to the memories and experiences of those he feeds upon.
Affiliation: TBD
Residency: His ancestral home of Eldritch Manor and its surrounding territory.
Backstory: Corbin Eldritch was once the prince of the primary bloodline among several bloodlines who resided in Eldritch Manor. The Eldritch Clan was the most powerful of the bloodlines, and the vampyres of Eldritch Manor were respected and held with great esteem among the people of many races across the land. They served as protectors as well as rulers, and collected tribute and sacrifices from the people who depended on them. The clans were fair and just but were eventually overthrown and murdered as they slept leaving Corbin the sole survivor. Though he had avenged the deaths of his clan, as well as the others, his hatred for lesser races only grew, and it did nothing to satiate his appetite for vengeance. He systematically eradicated the people over decades until Eldritch Manor's existence was forgotten and became a legend...then a fairy tale people told their children but no longer believed. Presently, few have ever even heard of Eldritch Manor. It's become a faded myth over the past century as Corbin spent his time throughout the decades casting judgement upon the lesser races from the shadows, a ghost. He has become the ghost of Eldritch Forest to those who've heard of his attacks on anyone who ventures to near Eldritch Manor, thus leading people to believe the forest is haunted. Corbin has gone on several pilgrimages to the Abyss in search of purpose. One of these pilgrimages is where he captured the essence he carries within his family crest. He has also taken several lengthy hibernation hiatuses, but is always ready to defend his home. Other than the ghost of Eldritch Forest, he has sparked several legends in other regions of the world of one ghost or another who appears throughout generations. None of these have been connected to one another, but his ego swells with the growth of each legend and has become one of his favorite pass times.
