History: Samuel, referred to as Sam by his fellows, began his life as the son of poor man. He enjoyed his young life none the less, and was devastated the day it was all taken away. A Succubus, powerful and ancient, invaded his home and killed his family. She left young Sam however, and cursed him with a dark and unbreakable curse. Samuel fought the rest of his young life with a powerful debate. Whatever he loved or touched died in his arms, so as a result he took up being a healer.
He was unnaturally skilled, yet was still unable to protect his loved ones from his curse. It seemed to grow stronger each day, Samuel was driven to desperate measures. He became angry, lashing out for absolutely no feasible reason on the ones he held dear. He grew distant. He grew depressed. Until finally, he took his life. as the tendrils of death infringe his consciousness, Samuel had but one regret. He had never been able to love...
Then, he awoke.
The curse had been reborn as a gift, for he was pure of heart, untainted by sin. He was granted immortality in exchange for his mortal life. As soon he realized that his curse had been lifted he ran to the homes of his past friends, but none of them recognized him, everyone had forgotten his name, his face, his entire existence seemed to have been wiped from the face of the earth. At first he mourned his past life, but after a time he began to accept it. He re applied as a monk of the local monastery. His affinity with light magic was beyond extraordinary, the rebirth had increased his magical prowess and understanding by ten fold. He quickly delved beyond the point of the head monk teachings.
The head monk offered him his staff, saying it was blessed by the god of light. Samuel accepted it graciously and went on a grand pilgrimage, intent on increasing his knowledge into his craft. In truth he was searching, searching for a way to regain his lost mortality. For years he looked without success. For years he searched far and wide in an attempt to find a hint, a key.
It was at the end of his long journey that he found her.
The dark succubus queen. The one who had given him this curse. The battle was long, lasting many days. Dark against light, Samuel's magic was pushed to its limit. He fought tooth and nail, until finally, he manage to seal her in the land known as the void. He emerged a new man, from the now abandoned labyrinth that was her lair. Da'os Myhrr, to this day is avoided by travelers because of its ties to that Succubus.
Samuel then traveled to the Monks of Argent, an ancient and isolated order that studied an ancient and lost magic known as Kei. Samuel has been training with these monks for the past 37 years. They are aware of his immortality, and have made him their grand master. These warrior monks are few in number, but very powerful warriors. Samuel stands for good and light, and has heard of the demon Eliphas. Samuel is the only living being who knows how to summon the Succubus queen from the void. He guards that secret in a place close to his heart. Samuel has heard whispers of that Eliphas searches for that secret. He is determined to keep it from him, no matter the cost. for now Samuel simply awaits the arrival of those who would stand against the demon. He bides his time, awaiting the hero's of legend that will fight against Eliphas and his many generals.
Powers and Abilities:
Samuel has mastered three areas of magic.
Healing:
Light:
and Kei: (Kie)
Samuel can heal all minor and major wounds, the more severe the wound, the higher the toll on Samuel. (Healing magic is the most difficult and demanding magic known)
Samuel can cast all spells that use light as their source of power. This includes holy spells and spells that bend light itself.
Kei: Samuel has mastered an ancient fighting magic that allows him to move through a plane of existence parallel to our own in combat. This allows him to teleport up to fifteen meters from any position he is currently located, and allows him to move with very high speeds. His fighting style revolves around disabling his opponents through Spirit points throughout their body. these spirit points are areas in a beings body in which the spirit is most dense. By sending shock waves of his own spirit energy directly into this location he can restrict or shut down movement in his targets limbs by disrupting these areas of spiritual density. Samuel has the ability to see these spirit points when he shifts between planes. Any being that holds magic within them has spirit points (So beings without magic cannot be disabled by this skill).
Weaknesses: Physically weak, after his battle with the succubus queen, Samuel has been left very frail. he can move surprisingly quickly however, it seems only his physical strength was effected by this.
Susceptible to disease.
Blindness: One of the side effects of Kei is permanent blindness to the mortal plane. He uses the magic of Kei to see the spiritual energies of those around him however. Again creatures without magic cannot be detected by Samuel through this ability.
Personality: Samuel is a kind soul, clumsy, very strange, and bad with people, he is good nonetheless. Sam can sense the goodness in people and often chooses to try and turn good people away from darkness before outright fighting them. He cares for others and despises those who take advantage of the weak. He is wise, and loves apples. A strange, strange man.
