Metz

All this potential, every spell memorized after years of painstaking practice and mental exercise, worthless. Without mana, we are nothing.

Metz the Mana-Less Mage

Identity

Name: Metzalaatla Akalikalat

Nicknamed: Metz, Mad Metz, The Manaless Mage, The Pillar Elementalist

Race: Torm (Alternate Human)

Homeworld: Felenr

Age: 47

Personality: Metz has a strange, almost erratic personality. At one time incredibly stern or sombre he can rapidly change to making odd jokes or dark comments. One can only assume Dark Mana has had some degenerative effect on his mind, changing whatever personality the original man had forever

Appearance

Appearing Age: 30

Face: Metz has an angular face, bordering on gaunt, and usually sports a short reddish-brown beard, his eyes are green with a noticeable ring of a lilac coloration around both his pupil and iris. He has an angular scar through his left eye-brow, preventing hair growth in a small area. His teeth are lightly stained and he has noticeably sharp canines, but are otherwise unremarkable.

Hair: Metz has reddish-brown hair which he usually keeps tied back in a short pony-tail with a leather band, it’s long enough to fall over his eyes when loose.

Body Type: Metz has a wiry frame, with lean compact muscle appropriate for a survivor of the apocalypse.

Skin: Metz has very pale skin, despite being exposed to the sun constantly, due to genetics mostly. If one looks very carefully they might notice dark patches, particularly on his fingers and around the skin surrounding his eyes.

Height: 6ft

Weight: 70kg

Biological Properties

Torm are fairly similar to humans in terms of biology, and Metz is a fairly average example save for his natural affinity to utilize mana, which makes him a mage. There are a couple of differences between Torm and Humans however, namely that Torm don’t have an appendix, which is a fairly useless organ and a misstep in human evolution. Their bones are also somewhat more durable, without weighing any more than human bones. They also have a terrible sense of smell, even worse than a humans to the point where their noses are almost exclusively just for breathing.

Up until recently, mana had interacted with every infant born on Felenr and made them physically fitter by speeding the regrowth of torn muscle and reducing recovery time from fatigue. It was essentially a super-drug. Though that mana is now gone, when re-introduced into a Torm’s body who was born when Mana was prevalent twenty years ago, they gain a short burst of super-human capabilities as their bodies greedily use up the mana they absorb. For ordinary Torm this is a welcome but fairly unimportant boost, where-as to mages it is both a blessing and a curse, for they sacrifice precious spell casting energy on running fast and jumping high for a short period of time.

Without mana, Metz physical capabilities are:

Strength: Bench 100kg, lift own body weight fairly capably.

Speed: Run consistently for about five minutes at fifteen miles per hour, speedy acceleration.

Agility: Peak human

Endurance: Capable of maintaining vigorous activity with little decline for about ten minutes non-stop, fairly quick recovery time.

Durability: Naturally more durable than a human of his size, due to stronger bones, still suffers from flesh wounds and the like pretty badly.

Skills

Metz can fight moderately competently with his hands, favouring quick darting strikes rather than directly contesting someone with his strength.

Metz can use firearms, firearms on Felenr bare some similarities to more common Earth weaponry, so his ability is somewhat translatable.

Metz has insanely good precision and accuracy for someone with human characteristics, this is only increased when his body goes into overdrive on mana.

Metz can climb with some significant skill.

Metz has a number of survival-esque skills one would expect from a lone survivor of the apocalypse.

Abilities

PURE MANA: Mana in its most primal and effective form, this can be moulded into any spell developed by the Torm mages so far. It also feeds Metz’ body, allowing him to nearly triple his ordinary physical characteristics for a very short period. (perhaps a minute at most if no spells are used.) This revitalisation of his body also reduces the effects of aging and has a number of other restorative effects, such as combatting poisons and disease. Pure mana can be fairly quickly manipulated into a wide range of spells by the process of casting, which requires specific phrases to be used in conjunction with a specific frame of mind to construct the spell. It is no quicker or slower at becoming any type of spell, unlike Black Mana which is somewhat faster at becoming a destructive spell.

BLACK (Corrupt) MANA: Corrupt mana created from the blood of an organism, though usually the users own. It has a darker influence than the neutrality of pure mana, damaging the users psyche as much as his body. When under its effects the users body undergoes a rapid change, growing slightly more muscled while the skin darkens around the eyes and hands, it increases Metz’ physical capabilities by up to six times. Black mana is limited in that it cannot be used for spells that require a healthy state of mind, such as healing and shielding, but it is useful in that it jumps at the opportunity to become something hurtful or destructive. (Half the casting time for destruction and pain spells, healing and shielding spells are unusable.)

Mana must be used wholly before a different type may be applied, or the differing mana types have a tendency to react unpredictably and can cause the mage significant harm. There is a maximum amount of each type of mana that a Torm can process at one time, consuming any more would just be wasteful. On average, Metz can cast two to three spells using one vial of Mana, or six of his elemental circles. The ultimate spells, Splitting River, Death Hand, and The Chamber and Purge are all one time use per vial of mana.

List of Spells

List of spells: Casting Time

Shielding Spells

Spellbreaker: Three seconds
The mage is covered by a transparent shield which blocks an opponent’s supernatural abilities for about fifteen seconds, it can be overcome by the force of an opponent’s spells.

Aegis: Three seconds
The mage is covered in a golden glow which repels physical assaults against their person, transferring only a tenth of physical force across their whole body and repelling physical damage and wounding. It can be overcome by immense physical force, and lasts about fifteen seconds.

Splitting River: Five seconds
Probably the most powerful defensive spell known to Torm, Splitting River is mostly used to reduce the effect of an opponent’s most powerful ranged attack or spells, it works by meeting the destructive power of an ability or attack and splitting it evenly down the middle, diverting each stream of the attack to either side of the mage, who stands behind the point of the split. This isn’t 100% effective, but it takes the sting off otherwise devastating abilities.

Destructive Spells

Bolt: 2 Seconds
Unleashes a bolt of lightning from the user’s hand, may be used with both hands to fire a three-pronged lightning bolt, but the user is thrown backwards upon launching the attack. It dissipates at any range over one hundred feet, or when it hits something.

Death Hand: Two seconds
Allows the user to imbue their palm with the essence of death for two seconds, which is essentially parasitic mana, when applied directly to an opponent it quickly numbs the area and begins draining the life from them, after twenty seconds the essence of death explodes with green energy in a tight area, tending to destroy whatever flesh it was applied to. The weakness of the ability is that when casting it the opponent has a deep feeling of foreboding, knowing instantly that they must avoid the essence of death at all costs.

Pillar Elementalist: Metz’ nickname comes from his unique form of utilizing the elements, in something similar to pillars. It works by imbuing a circular area of varied size depending on desired effect, at a distance of up to 100 meters from the man which he can either see or vaguely observe (So although he couldn’t see the top of a building for example, he can observe where the top –would be- and activate his ability). The outline of this circle corresponds to the basic element he is planning to manifest, red for fire, blue for water, white for air, brown/orange for earth.

Fire Pillar: Time Varies
Metz imbues the Earth with a red circle, two feet in diameter for every second spent casting, this in turn increases the height of the ability when it’s unleashed by four feet per second. Once the circle is placed it can be activated instantly at any point, causing a gushing torrent of fire that burns at around 1500 degrees Celsius to be unleashed in an upwards pillar corresponding to the cast time. Regardless of the casting time the fire pillar lasts three seconds, and reaches its full height in a second.

Water Pillar: In essence the same as the Fire Pillar, save that the effect causes a torrent of water to blast upwards and then fold in on itself, potentially trapping a foe. This pillar moves at 100 feet per second. The water can be directed to move in different directions, essentially making this ability more of a flexible pillar. Lasts three seconds.

Earth Pillars: Works similarly to the fire pillar, except that the shape of the pillar can be manipulated, into spikes for example. This pillar moves at two hundred feet per second. Remains after activation until the earth is moved back down by the mage or destroyed/moved in some other fashion.

Air Pillar: Unique in that the air actually blasts down from a height of roughly double whatever is caught inside the pillar, moving at two hundred feet per second. It can batter a man to his knees with ease, though it is relatively un-lethal. Lasts three seconds.

The Chamber: Ten Seconds
Metz’ unique spell which utilizes all of his Pillars, allowing him to create a structure for capturing and eliminating powerful foes. It combines other spells he knows and can take different shapes.

Healing Spells
Veil of Health: Six seconds
Allows the user to create a doorway of rejuvenating energy, when passed through it heals minor wounds and gives them a quick burst of energy that wears off after about thirty seconds. It’s essentially the magical form of a second wind.

Stabilize: Two seconds
An emergency healing spell, it allows the user to stabilize their own, or someone they’re in contact with, vitals. The immediate effect of this is to cease bleeding from all open wounds, to briefly numb all pain from wounds, to isolate disease or poison, and to essentially give the target a brief period of respite. Its effects last about ten seconds, giving the user time to concentrate on a more extensive healing ability.

Purge: Five seconds
A magical ability which negates all foreign entities acting on the user, removing curses, debuffs, poisons, and diseases. It works over the course of a minute, sometimes taking longer to remove more extensive issues. The user is immune to further similar effects while the magic is working, but it drains mana quickly.

Misc Spells

Seeing Eye: Three Seconds
Metz manifests a second eye, which allows him to scour through a battlefield with a magical sight which is incredibly difficult to hide from. The only limitation is that it can only see with this increased perception directly in front of him, so sneaking up behind him is still an option. However the sight can see straight through brick walls and the like up to 100 meters.

Disperse: Two Seconds
Metz can remove obscuring clouds and smoke and other dangerous elements in the air from his immediate vicinity for up to thirty seconds using this spell.

Levitate: Two Seconds
Metz can briefly remove the effects of gravity on his person for ten seconds, also granting him the ability to hover up to ten feet off the ground and over pitfalls etc.

Lift: Two Seconds
One of the few utility spells Metz still remembers from when his life wasn’t just about survival and conflict, Lift allows him to essentially raise an intimate object of up to two tonnes off the ground by up to ten feet for ten seconds. It doesn’t lift particularly quickly however.

Mana Condensing: Two Seconds
Used to convert Pure Mana from a Felenr well-spring into a liquid form which can be consumed.

Black Mana Ritual: Five seconds
Used to turn a vial of blood into a vial of Black Mana.

Equipment

Armour: Metz wears a green woollen jumper with numerous holes in it, with a scrapped together vest over the top made of a material called Dural, which is for all intents and purposes similar to a stab-proof vest. Beneath his jumper is a form fitting underlay called Underpad, it has proven effective at resisting small-arms fire from as close as fifteen feet away, so in conjunction with the Dural vest Metz has significant upper body resistance to fire-arms.

His trousers resemble tough brown cargo pants, and he wears black boots.

Weapons: Metz carries a sharp slightly curved knife called a Shint, it’s made of steel and is roughly fifteen inches from handle to point. He carries it across his chest in a sheath.

He also carries a Fire-Type 2, which is the second model of the original Fire-Type, a pistol variant designed almost eighty years prior. The most recent weaponry on Felenr became useless as it relied on mana, so the Fire-Type is archaic in design. It roughly resembles a match-lock pistol, but with a stubby block on the top of the weapon which almost resembles a magazine. It can be loaded with up to four roughly 9mm equivalent rounds by feeding them into this compartment, but it must be fired with a single-shot action and the hammer has to be pulled back with each shot. Luckily Metz is an exceptional marksman, and the weapon is not as inaccurate as human matchlocks, it’s about as powerful as a matchlock and is accurate up to 100 feet. He carries it in a holster on his right hip.

Metz also has a small backpack with food and drink for a couple of days and a few other survival supplies. He also wears a belt with space for four iron vials, one is always filled with black mana and one with Pure Mana, and the other two are randomly rolled for before a battle begins by a judge. Roll 1, empty, 2, Black Mana, 3 Pure Mana. On this belt is also seven more rounds for his pistol which have to be hand-fed into the weapon.

Additional Fluff

The Short History of Felenr, his Homeworld

Felenr is a world like our own save for that mana exists as another element in the atmosphere and could be utilized as energy similar to how humanity intends to use hydrogen. It was a supremely efficient fuel, and although the few unique individuals known as mages were able to feel that mana shouldn’t be used for industry the majority of the race were ignorant of the entity. Sometime in the last twenty years however a process which had been happening at a trickle suddenly increased tenfold, mana began to disappear.

Three years after mana’s departure civilisation crumbled and anarchy reigned, governments fell and people died enmasse to war and disease. The magi fought over the remaining reservoirs, areas where such significant mana poured from underground that even with the bleeding effect the substance could still be gained. To the proud Magi mana almost became a drug.

Three years after that, Black Mana was discovered. None of the Magi were prepared for the devestation it caused in the hands of a Dark Mage who quickly grew addicted and mad from its allure. Terrible rituals and sacrifices saw the mana become taboo, but none-the-less Mages were forced to utilize it or go completely unprotected.

In a post-apocalyptic world the remaining Torm struggle for survival, one of them is Metz, the Pillar Elementalist, one of many Mages that still cling to the old ways and resist the maddening effects of Black Mana.

On Magic in Felenr

Magic in Felenr requires a great deal of time and effort to master even at a basic level. Each spell must be learned with painstaking practice and memorized so that it can be utilized in stressful situations. It is rare for any mage to manage to muster more than fifty spells even with their extended life spans.

Metz life before and after the decline
Metz’ was always an above average mage, noteworthy but not quite council worthy. He took some work as a field operative in the Magi-rebellion some years prior to the fall of mana, and so had experienced his fair share of war. His unique weaponized Elemental Pillars were a devastating force on the battlefield, and earned him a number of nicknames.

After the fall with mana growing increasingly scarce Metz turned to Black Mana, finding it more powerful than he could ever imagine. As he wandered the fallen ruins of his civilisation he began to wonder, how had mana disappeared almost overnight?

With something of a purpose Metz spent the next fifteen years going from well-spring to well-spring and tracking the bleeding effect of the mana there. Avoiding Black Mana as much as possible, he instead learned to condense mana in the air and place it into vials to be consumed directly when required. After all that time researching he finally thought he had found the source of his people’s woes. Closing in on a nondescript mountain-range somewhere in the far south… he believed he had found a portal to another world, and they had stolen all his damn mana.

Shin

Name: Shincoco of the Black Iron Mask

Age: 320

Sex: Male

Race: Human/Godslave/British-Chinese Mix

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 210 lbs.

Physical Description: Shin is a man of average height, however, that is the only thing average about him. Beneath his clothing is a body coated from top to bottom in thick scar tissue, this tissue hides an inhumanly fit body. His shoulders are rather broad, though not unnaturally so. Should one see behind his mask they would see a hand shaped scar on his face, splitting his top and bottom lip and crossing over where his right eye used to be. This has left Shin with a heavily cleft lip and an empty eye socket that is covered with a sewn on black patch.

The handprint overlaps his hairline and leaves two large chunks of hair missing from the right half of his head. The hair that isn't burnt off is kept cropped shortly to his head, and is slightly greyed from stress. Rather than from age.

Shin dresses simply, a pair of creased black pants adorns his legs. The cuffs are damaged just slightly from wear and tear. He wears a long sleeved, button up, cuffed and collared shirt. It is tucked into his pants. Over the shirt is a brown button up vest. Well polished black shoes with pointed tips, plenty of wear on the sole but no scuffs on the leather.

Adorning his head is a black iron mask with several leather straps that hold it into place. Behind the mask you can see his left eye, the sclera of it is stained red from an eye injury in the past. It is perfectly shaped to cover his face, carved to square out the shape of his head and give him an almost alien appearance. There is only one hole in it, the eye hole that is bored at an angle to give him total peripheral vision with his remaining eye.

Psychological Description: If you met Shin in a normal social situation, where he was wearing his usual prosthetic face mask, you would believe that Shin is a man who has moved past an extensive series of unfortunate circumstances. Should you meet Shin in your bedroom, in the dark of night, you would believe that he is a psychopath who chose to kill you at random. However, if you had the unfortunate circumstance of meeting Shin on the field of battle? You would believe that you have entered the domain of a god of war, Shin's very presence is oppressive.

Every word that he speaks oozes an almost liquid resentment, thinly veiled behind a mask of niceties. Shin speaks with deliberate pause and force, making it seem like he knows exactly what's going on at all times.

Shin is aggressive, blunt, and only lies when it's necessary to facilitate his survival. In combat, he will shift from a polite fellow who seems to only fight for the purpose of fighting, to a despicable sadist who teases you about every mistake that you make.

All of this, because Shin is obsessed with killing. The sacrament of spilling blood, nothing leaves him with a more chilling and electrifying feeling than to let the life slip from his most recent target. If his foe fights with enough fervor, he can sometimes lose himself in the ecstasy of bloodlust. Falling into throes of lavish excitement and fury, Shin relishes nothing more than bloodshed.

And Ladies, he's single.

Abilities:
Mystical-
Biological Immortality: Granted to him by his godly master, Shin's body has become immune to the effects of aging and disease. Every cell in his body is cycled out as soon as they die, allowing his body to survive grizzly wounds and not fear the consequences of death unless Shock were to set in. Shin has no true regenerative factor, only an accelerated scarring. Meaning that bleeding out is impossible, but so is regrowing limbs. Most of his biological functions are no longer necessary, except for eating and drinking. He does not need to breathe, though it helps to center him. He does, however, still need to breathe to talk.

Now, unlike true immortality, Shin's body can still die. He just can't die from age or illness.

Physical-
Durable Hide: Hardened through innumerable battles, countless scars, and endless regrowth. Shin's skin has become hardened to the same density and strength as leather. This allows him to survive significantly greater beatings than normal men. His skin is as course and rough as the hide of an armadillo, and his hands are as hard as ram's horn.

Beyond Peak Human Ability: Shin's body has been tempered with countless years of training, without the ability to age or succumb to exhaustion he has gone beyond the limitations of Human ability. Able to lift 1,000 lbs with a great deal of effort, easily lifting 800-900 lbs. His muscles are toned beyond those of even the most professional fighter. Able to sprint at 45 mph, he can cross huge tracts of land faster than any mortal man.

Accelerated Reflex: Shin's reflexes are four times as quick as any normal man's, allowing him to react to stimuli so quickly that most people can't actually see it happen.

Mental-
Accelerated Thought: Shin's thoughts come at nearly four times the speed of a normal human, critical on the fly analysis in combat is his forte. Able to know where an enemy is going before they arrive, spot subtle differences in behavior, and calculate just how much weight to put behind a strike. On the battlefield, tightly controlled thought patterns and behavior are key to survival.

Instant Sight: Shin's singular eye is blessed with a great power, though to some it may seem useless. To Shin it one of his most invaluable assets. Shin's eye can keep track of objects moving faster than his own thoughts, the only thing that outstrips his sight is Mach 5 and higher.

Equipment: Where Shin would normally wield the black staff, he has accidentally disarmed himself. Instead, he has armed himself with a Kusarigama.

Boron Steel Kusarigama: A sickle with a deathly sharp blade adorning it, it is a foot long cylindrical handle with a grooved grip. Wrapped tightly in leather. A long steel chain rests at the bottom with a heavy steel weight with a lead core at the end. Making it a perfect combination of melee and ranged weaponry.

Black Iron Mask: To hide the grizzly scar upon his face, Shin wears a mask cast from a civil war era cannon ball. The mask has just one eyehole, on the left side. As his right eye does not exist anymore. Its weight is laborous, strapped to his head with four leather bands. The weight serves as a reminder to why he is immortal, and as a reminder of who gave him his scar. Its also a decent shield for his face, protecting him from gunfire and the like.

The Remnant - I.M.P.A.Q.T.

Identity Cores

Name: Isaiah Core
Alias/Nickname: Impaqt
Gender: Male Designed
Race/Species: Artificial Intelligence

Isaiah was an A.I. built with the intentions of housing the secrets of an now deceased Empire. Their many secrets locked away inside his body made up of layers of "Cores", which house various secrets as well as Isaiah's own memories, skills, and habits. His initial Core, the 'Identity Core', is designed to adjust and adapt with Isaiah as he learns. It is the Core which gives him his humanity. The Vitality Core regulates Isaiah's Strength, Speed, Agility, Endurance, and many of his skills and abilities as well as keeping his body moving. The Dues Ex Core Regulates his abilities as a Machine. Deeper than that, the Cores tend to remain locked until necessary, housing many of the Empire's secrets and various other things. Though, some of these cores do interact with other Cores. His personality Core, for example. Isaiah's personality is all his own, but there are also 5 cores in his body that hold completely different personalities and identities from creatures locked away in him, that interact with his own Personality Core. Although he is A.I., his body is designed to be very organic acting. His blood-like substance is a blue gel, that protects his 'Cores' and can slowly regenerate his flesh if cut. He is able to feel through pain receptors. Though, those in his feet are very dull, so he can often only feel a sense of pressure. Normal organic diseases and illnesses don't effect Isaiah.

Vitality Cores (Un-Powered)

Vitality Core sustains Isaiah's life. Although he holds no life force like most living creatures do, he runs on an adaptation and synthesized version, more formally known as Ardor. Most creatures won't be able to detect energy from him, but rather lack of energy, if staring directly at him. If he is hidden, he is practically undetectable. Ardor makes up for his weight, allowing him to run at high speeds. His prosthesis skin is thicker and much more durable. Quick slices are able to cut him, but rarely go blood deep. Jabs are able to penetrate with force. Although he has above average strength, most of his energy goes into his speed. Isaiah is decently intelligent, but mostly relies on Peirce for intelligence. Though his Mental Cores allow him to learn and grow.

• Gladius Core:
  
  Using Ardor, Isaiah can easily tap into his Gladius Core and manifest the core outside his body, in the form of a double sided Sword.

The Expeditious Core allows Isaiah to transport to new locations at strictly 5 feet intervals. Can only use once every 2 turns.
• Peirce's Puncture Core:
  
  Pierce was not only a great strategist, but excellent with weaponry. Most of Isaiah's weapon proficiency was designed after Pierce's own tactics. The Puncture Core manipulates the Gladius Core to form various weapon types.
• Naosi's Techno Core:
  
  Distant and spiteful, Naosi gets along with computers easier than other creatures. Naosi's core is able to manipulate technology and provide Isaiah with any needed mechanical knowledge.

[ImportantNobody]

Name: Ruchette Vorsalus
Alias: Ruchi (informal nickname that she tolerates), "Diamond in the Rough" , the Diamond
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Height: 5'9''
Weight: 130 pounds without excess carbon, roughly 655 at full carbon storage (around her size in diamond added onto her normal weight)
Appearance: (This is not my drawing. I will draw her when I have more time and motivation. Differences to this drawing will be mentioned in equipment.)


Personality: She's very self confident and doesn't feel the need to prove herself as a result. If she looses then she can accept that some people are simply more powerful, not that she's weak, so doesn't let it eat away at her and snap like some cocky people might should they be proven inferior. Even if she can be overconfident at first, she can learn her lesson and stop being so cocky, or even take things seriously from the beginning if she feels even a slight possibility that the situations warrants it.

She's this calm and analytical in general, making her seem somewhat emotionless. She finds things boring pretty easily and often looses interest, sometimes even abandoning fights midway through if she doesn't see the point. People call her a coward for doing so, which of course doesn't bother her. She won't let other people stop her from doing what she feels like. In fact she'd much rather die than submit to others on things she doesn't want to do. This can make her be extremely stubborn when it comes to her personal freedom. If she does follow through with orders then it's either what she would have done normally or the possible results have piqued her interest and she feels like she should do it for personal reasons.

One thing she finds interest in is powerful foes that can stand up to her, keeping her attentive and focused on the task at hand. It's possible she may handicap herself in some way if it could be interesting to see how they could fight to take advantage of it. For example, seeing if they could use her long hair against her. She won't often admit to forming rivalries and friendships, but if she finds someone interesting then she may put at least some amount of effort into keeping in touch with them from time to time, far different than her normal behavior of blowing off interactions with the average joe.

She's mostly selfish, said to have a heart as hard as diamond, but she's not inhuman and could aid people (without admitting that's what she's doing) if the feeling hits her hard enough. She doesn't do bad things for the lolz, but does occasionally do bad things if she deems it necessary, not holding back from eliminating potential threats. If you leave her alone then she will leave you alone. If you annoy her she may teach you a lesson or ignore you depending on if the mood hits her. If you seriously get in her way...prepare to die.

Talents: Her swordsmanship is not as skilled as someone who specializes solely in it, but in terms of weapons usage this is her best bet and could be described as very good, having a graceful fighting style balanced between strength and speed. She's not overly experienced in unarmed fighting so is not the best if caught without powers or a sword, but she uses a decent amount of kicks during normal fights if up close and personal so would still be able to rely on that aspect pretty well, her punches being on the other hand having a fighting style simply of what would make sense based on instinct rather than much training. She's also not really experienced with grappling using arms and legs, either offensively or defensively.

She has a good head on her shoulders, being fast on her feet not only physically, but mentally as well. She's not mad scientist level of genius but she definitely shows her wit.

Powers

Like a decent number of people from her world, she was gifted upon birth with the power to manipulate her body in ways earthlings such as ourselves can't by using the power of ki, their natural body energy, as a medium to bring out their special powers. Her specific level of power to manipulate diamond is exceedingly rare, part of the much more common carbon branch of body manipulation. While most can only control graphite to some extent, they cannot normally achieve the other forms that carbon can take such as diamond and graphene. The diamond level of control was achieved by Ruchette at age seven, making her a prodigy known as the Diamond in the Rough. Her graphite control was not particularly strong, making her appear average until she discovered her special talent lay not with the commoners, but with the elites of her field.

The following is her abilities stemming from her carbon/diamond body manipulation, separated into categories for easy reference. They all technically could count as a single power even if the uses if it can vary wildly.

Physical Enhancements- Her body is directly infused from head to toe with thin, diamond structures that doesn't negatively interfere with her normal bodily functions. Working in conjunction with her muscles, she can lift around 1,000 pounds and run at 40 miles per hour, also providing structural integrity so she doesn't hurt herself nearly as easily while pulling off intense physical feats. As such, any damage on the level that she can deal out would be no more effective against her defenses than a normal human striking a normal human. Most normal humans against her heightened abilities would be shrugged off unless they use proper techniques that get around defenses. People could even whack her with baseball bats and she could ignore them. Of course guns could still get through these natural defenses of hers.

If she bleeds, her diamond flows out the wound and can block further bleeding, although this doesn't mean the damage otherwise isn't done. Diamond can also block poisons or other unwanted things in this manner, although if she's not aware of it until it's already circulating around her bloodstream then she can't block her entire bloodstream for obvious reasons.

Her reaction times and senses are well trained but do not get any special boosts. Her body weighing 655 pounds while fully loaded with carbon/diamond (whatever term you'd prefer) is important enough of an enhancement to mention again here. This can add on a lot of force to her natural attacks due to her moving as quickly, nimbly, etc. as if she didn't have any extra weight at all. This extra diamond inside of her is partially out in her entire body and also partially condensed by way of ki, able to flood out into her body when desired. Unless otherwise stated, this condensed diamond would be spread evenly around, so cut off an arm and she'd loose an appropriate portion of her diamond with it should she not collect it back into her (more on actual manipulation of her diamond will be mentioned in one of the following categories to explain how she'd do so).

Resistances- She can resist heat up to 3550 degrees Celsius before burning, but could still suffer from heat stroke eventually. For electricity she can switch between graphite, which conducts electricity, and diamond, which insulates it, to direct electrical currents through her body in the way that she wants should she know it's coming and it's not powerful enough to overcome the properties of these materials. Her body can withstand harmful oxidation up to a high level.

Diamond Control- She can sprout and control diamond as long as the diamond is connected to her ki, which can flow through her body and her diamond, but at some point along the way it has to be connected back to her body. In other words, she can sprout diamond from her body or from diamond connected to her body, and control said diamond that remains connected. If she fires diamond off then she can no longer control it or control diamond that isn't hers. Very close to her body still counts as her body, so normal clothing doesn't block out her ki. Of course when it comes to diamond sprouting out of her body, the clothing would indeed be in the way and would either be torn through or shoved aside depending on the circumstance (in her case she has slits built into her outfit). This makes her wearing armor more disadvantageous than helpful and potentially ruining clothes that doesn't take her powers into account.

She can infuse her diamond back into her body by the same rules that govern her control of it, so she must get into touching distance, breaking it down and absorbing it within the time it takes to send it out. This is a time period of a second for the volume of a cube with equal sides 2 inches long, but of course not limited to the cube shape. She can repair it at the same rate.

Her diamond, thanks to being infused with her ki, doesn't break like normal and can be flexible while still maintaining it's natural hardness of 10 on the mohs scale, meaning that it can cut steel if enough force is applied. In terms of it's durability, it's now bulletproof to a single shot of a medium strength bullet while at a thickness of 3 inches (taking into account her speed of sending out diamond, she could create bulletproof armor in only a second if she made it have very little room for error). If this defense is exceeded then it will shatter like normal diamond, potentially messing up a large chunk of the diamond depending on the type of attack hitting it.

She's not able to create just any shape effectively. Imagine a horse sprouting an arm and wondering what to do with it. It can move it, but it will be very clumsy. Therefore, she requires training with different shapes, the only thing limiting what shapes she can make besides the amount of material she has to work with, being around the size of her body, not a coincidence due to her chi being a factor, which is connected to her body size.

Firing off diamond takes charge time for it to build up the potential energy to turn to kinetic energy through use of her ki. As such the diamond glows white for a second to launch diamond the mass of what she could create in a second (creating diamond and then firing it, therefore, would take two seconds total if the size of the example). It would have the power of an average pistol for this one second of charge. Conveniently, charging up a small or large diamond to fire off would have the same power due to traveling faster or slower, so the power depends on charge time rather than size. Charging for 10 seconds would make her diamond as powerful as a sniper, while charging for the other amount of seconds between the two examples would place it somewhere in between, obviously.

Trained Diamond Shapes- She's most trained with arms and legs made of diamond for them to replace her real ones with little negligible reduction in skill unless you ask her to perform delicate surgery or something. She can even have a second pair of arms out below her real ones at the same time of using her real ones. Of course doing the same but with feet would be ridiculous and ineffective so is never done even if she could.

She's also well trained with a tail (that looks styled like this but diamond) of various lengths, able to grip into things and strike with the force of her kicks and punches.

Creating something simple like blades doesn't need nearly as much training to pull off (even if wielding them does), so she's great at blade creation. She sometimes uses blades not only on her arms/hands, but her legs/feet as well, sometimes like a high heel to grip onto something or slash them with her kicks. She can create an entire sword, rather than just the blade, and wield it as such if she desires. She often does this by forming the sword out of her thigh, starting at the handle, and pulling it out.

Diamond Shaving- A joke ability, this explains how she can swiftly eliminate unwanted body hair.

Diamond Body Focus- She can focus on the diamond inside her body to enhance it to the defense found outside her body when the size of her body part being effected, but this stiffens her body where effected and requires three seconds to reach this max defense. She cannot keep parts of her body like this for over ten seconds before starting to damage tissue, and certain parts can't do this at all if they wouldn't last even that long for other reasons. For example, use it on the heart and it would stop beating or the brain would die. This mainly makes her use it as a last resort and on areas on top of vital areas she can't use it on, hoping to stop it before it goes that far.

Graphite Control- Not nearly as powerful as her diamond or used as much. It follows the same rules of her diamond. Being very soft, her best use is to have it flood out and act to mess up people's movements as if they are walking through deep, sticky sand thanks to her ki keeping it sort of glued together. However, wasting this much of her carbon would be a last resort if she feels like this is the only technique that could work. She cannot form any complex shapes with graphite, at best having whips that behave sort of like water and spill back down to earth after only a few seconds.

Equipment

Head: Bare
Body: A trench coat and tight black "underarmor" (like what sports people would wear) underneath it, similar to the picture provided in her appearance. There's no defensive quality to it outside of average clothing. There's multiple slits in it that aren't really that visible when nothing is sticking through them due to the material on top covering the slit, that material pushed out of the way easily when needed due to not being connected over the slit. No part of her clothing would stop her power from breaking through if need be.
Hands: Leather fingerless gloves, very often obliterated during a fight.
Feet: Knee high leather boots customized with holes in the soles, sometimes obliterated during a fight as well.
Weapons: She doesn't carry a gun or other weapon under normal circumstances.

Bio

She was born in the capital city of Varsals, named after their planet Varsalt. It was a world where you abuse or be abused and power is everything. Those with body manipulation were either treated as slaves to put their abilities to "good use" and be kept down or they developed enough power to break free of their invisible bonds and become part of the ruling elite, often with the new goal of keeping down those from the very same position they just came from in order to ensure their own personal well being. People feared each other; feared body manipulators who couldn't be kept in check.

The carbon users were often commoners and treated like dirt. However, her elite father named Lenraddo, who never revealed his power yet still vanquished the foes who challenged him, had a secret affair with a lowly carbon user woman. Ruchette was left completely in the dark by this, and this wasn't the only troubles she had growing up. His father being absent still had him as the better parent, if that's possible, as her mother, Raida, was abusive and impatient with Ruchette, who was admittedly not the perfect child growing up, often causing trouble and picking fights.

When Ruchette was seven and lashed out at a group of bullies using a jagged diamond that suddenly appeared out of her palm, Raida saw this as an opportunity to get her out of her hands for good and get a quick paycheck, turning her over to the defense forces who specialized in body manipulation, who took note of such incredible merit and gave her intensive training and attempted brainwashing to turn her into the ultimate tool for their own goals.

The brainwashing was eventually overcome and she used all of her training against them, killing the group, although she was still soon after offered a job as part of the elite royal soldiers despite this little black mark on her resume and being at the young age of 15. The king, who's only referred to as such, gained some respect and interest from her as a result, especially when he let her mostly run wild as long as she carried out certain tasks, which she found amusing for a king to allow. Some of these tasks involved her murdering body manipulators who were suspected of plotting rebellions, some of them parents of children who had bullied her, making her revel in her new career a bit too much.

Traitors and other criminals among both the poor and the elite were not safe from her. She didn't feel sorry for them, feeling like if they didn't have the power to carry out their goals to fruition then they deserved what was coming to them, especially if they make the mistake to stand against her. To her, growing up, power was all that mattered. She found many of the elites strangely lacking in it compared to her as her skills were honed with each passing year, revealing that few could truly stand against her within the city. Things became boring for her until one day when a man named Lenraddo showed up, her unknown father, and wiped the floor with her, taunting her all the while and revealing that he killed the king.

There went her one interesting person, although along came another one to replace him. Lenraddo accessed the ability to travel to other worlds and off he went , prompting Ruchette to follow in his footsteps, although the man gave her the slip soon enough. With no reason to head back home, she decided to roam around the new worlds a bit to find the man or anyone else who would catch her interest.

It was during this wandering that she got called into the tournament. Having nothing better to do, she accepted.

Raelis Vaerkturian – Champion of Rhay

Biographical Info

Name: Raelis Vaerkturian.
Nickname/Alias: Knight of Rhay; Champion of Rhay; Holder of the Light.
Gender: Male.
Age: 62 (Asarae age much slower. He's considered middle aged).
Age Appearance: 26.
Race: Asaraen.

Character Tier: Intermediate.
Character Type: Critical Character and/or Active Multiverse Participant.
Random descriptors: Raelis stands at 6' 3” and, with his armor, weighs a total of 412 lbs, including his armor. His armor on its lonesome weighs 45 lbs, whereas his personal weight is about 320 lbs due to his wings, muscle mass, and height. The weaponized armor on his wings weighs 50 lbs, whereas his blade weighs 10 lbs. His armor weighs 70 lbs on its own.

Physical Description: While essentially humanoid in appearance, Asarae possess avian features, such as feathers, instead of hair, in addition to retractable talons on their feet and hands. While they do not have tails like birds, they do have an array of feathers on their legs and feet that assist in flight. Asarae warriors are instead equipped with some form of device, armament, or otherwise object that allows them to fly without the feathers on their legs being exposed. His facial features are also more 'avian' causing them to be more angular. Raelis' eyes, like all Asarae, glow, and due to his hood they seem like burning embers in the darkness. His eyes in particular are magnificent, as they glow more than two colors in each eye, which is a mutation that is rather rare on Asara. This makes Raelis' eyes appear as if they are flickering flames as they almost seem to shift and coalesce between reds, oranges, blues, and golds.

Personality Description: Possessing a sharp mind and a strong sense of purpose, Raelis is an unshakable individual. Having developed high confidence in his own skills and the capabilities of his own race, Raelis is typically capable of judging whether or not he can face against someone and win almost by a mere glance or short scuffle. His long life has sculpted him to be careful, rather than reckless, though he understands that taking chances is sometimes the only way to come out victorious. Crafty at times, Raelis can sometimes seem mysterious due to his ability to hide who he truly is so as to throw off his opponent.

He is easily angered, but contrary to what one might think, his anger is not typically fiery. Instead his anger, which is something he channels, allows him to become cold and focused. Highly observant, but not one to overthink, Raelis loves to pick apart the inner workings of his foe's psychology and then use it to predict and tear down their defenses brick by brick. While Raelis is an upstanding example of his own race, he does not necessarily fit into the norms of others and as such can sometimes appear to have a rather dark sense of humor. Due to the calculating nature of the Asarae, Raelis is both an analytical individual, but also a fiery paladin with solid, but non-human, ideals.

He follows the way of the star, burning up the fuel that the universe provides him so as to prolong his own livelihood. Nonetheless he inspires those who are not incinerated by his voracious appetite, allowing others to benefit from the heat and light that is the inferno of his raging ambition. In this way he is very much a Knight of Rhay, as he represents the same ideals that it does, though in the star's case it is in a more symbolic way, rather than literal.

Character History: Born on the planet of Asara in the Rhay solar system, Raelis was raised into a family of warriors. Raised by his mother, and trained by both parents, the young Raelis came to love combat, and the tactical awareness related to it. Even as a young boy Raelis loved to sneak out, find a sword-like object, and practice in secret. Well, he thought it was a secret, his father knew, and watched with a small smile on his face.

As he grew in age, his interest grew as well until his parents decided to enroll him in the Institute of Rhay, where they led younglings into adulthood and trained them for their preferred profession. In Raelis' case, that profession was warrior.

For years he toiled in the Institute, learning and growing, becoming the warrior he had surely dreamt of becoming as a youngling. He became a young man, and at the age of 34 his race gained knowledge of the Multiversal gates that had recently opened. Intrigued by this, though not allowed much information, the budding Knight began to challenge his betters, as this was one method that an individual could gain renown and status.

He did not always win his battles, but he never ceased to try and after many years he became well known. His word, in some situations, could be considered law, and eventually, as one of Asara's esteemed warriors, he was made privy to the information regarding the multiverse. While he had been hardened, and changed, by the many battles he had faced –and the assassins who had made attempts on his life-- a smile spread across his face and new curiosity was kindled within him. He could travel between realities, facing whomever he pleased. All he needed was to become the champion of his race.

So he did. It took him the rest of his life thus far, but he became so well known that everyone on the planet recognized his might. His societal victory was just in time too, as their warp gate technology had recently come out of its experimental stages, becoming available to those with the proper status, or funds, to obtain them. As such he set out to begin his journey of conquest, for while he had no intention to conquer the Multiverse, he certainly intended to fully sample the 'verse's many combatants. It would surely be an interesting adventure, this was for sure.

Capabilities

Asaraen Physiology[Intermediate]: As a being who grew up on a planet similar to earth, but with a heightened gravity due to mass, Raelis is particularly impressive in the area of physical skills. He is capable of lifting six times his own body weight and can run at 80 mph and can accelerate from a stationary position to 10 mph in the space of a few seconds, if he does this in bursts, but does not stop moving, he can reach up to 40 mph in a very short period of time. His flight speed, on the other hand, is fairly impressive. Due to the gravity on his planet being higher than on earth his bones are actually denser than a humans as well as having a specialized structure allowing them to better distribute force that is applied outwardly, though they will break if hit in a more focused matter. An Asarae's eyesight is inherently better than that of a human's allowing them to zoom in and out, as well as to follow things that are moving faster than most humans can follow. This is due to them having evolved from a more avian ancestors and do to time they have not yet lost these qualities. It should be noted that Asarae have excellent night vision. This is facilitated by two functions, first is the fact that the eyes of an Asarae will actually trap light within them, as well as emitting a small amount of the Light of the Devene thus causing their eyes to glow. The color of this glow depends on the individual and it will grow depending on how dark it is. Their pupils are also capable of changing size, much like a cat's, allowing them to receive more or less light depending on what is required at the time. Due to his impressive attunement with Rhay, their star, and the Light of Devene, Raelis' eyes can glow so brightly that they could light up the space around him for up to 10 meters. Last, but not least, the average Asarae can withstand roughly 50 degrees of heat directly on their skin, but will not be burned instantly until it hits 80. Raelis on the other hand has grown a tolerance for heat due to his use of the Light, this allows him to withstand up to 100 degrees of heat before it will burn him; he is burned instantly at 120 degrees. He can lift a maximum of 2,475 lbs (6 times his current weight).

Flight and Aerial-Terrestrial Combat[Low or Intermediate]: Due to his wings and supplementary magic—though he can fly just fine without his armor—Raelis is capable of flight and as such has learned how to fight on the ground and in the air. Additionally, Raelis has learned to use his wings to alter his orientation, speed, and weight distribution whilst still on the ground. He can even use his wings to increase his jumping height in addition to other factors. Raelis is capable of flying at an average of 80-200 mph, with his maximum (in dive) being the speed of sound (761 mph). He is capable of rapidly changing his direction as well as accelerating to roughly 60 mph in a matter of seconds, allowing him to quickly make distance. In fact, a single flap of his wings, whilst jumping, can send him hurtling back anywhere between 20 and 100 meters depending on the angle of the wings and the height of the jump. With skill he can do this in reverse, making him able to achieve a sort of 'rush' towards an enemy. It should be noted that his wings are capable of pushing forth enough air to blast someone back if their footing is not sound or their weight not sufficient to hold them down.

Light of the Devene[Intermediate]: Pronounced “Divine,” by humans and many other races, the Art of the Devene is a form of manipulation that all Asarae are capable of, though few choose to fully master and utilize it. Most common among the warrior class, Devene is an Art that manipulates light, though not in the way most think. The Light of Devene, as it is often called on Asara, allows its wielder to channel light, and the heat it produces, through objects or substances that they have some measure of contact or control of. Raelis is not particularly skilled with this ability, but is capable of channeling it through his armor, his body, and his sword respectively—including that which is linked with such. The properties of this magic are, in short, the ability to generate a light, as well as heat. The light also has a 'divine' or holy aspect, allowing it to burn away darkness and corruption. This light, due to its constant emanation from Raelis' attire, actually protects him somewhat from magical manipulation, making it more difficult for individuals to effect his already steadfast mind. In terms of how hot this heat can get, well that depends on the amount of heat the user can handle in their vicinity, or how much heat the light can gain as it moves towards its opponent. This brings up an important point, the longer that the Light is manifested, and as long as its user does not stymie the process, the Light will raise steadily in temperature over time. This process does not require additional energy, but it does seem to cause the area to become darker and darker as time goes on.

Swordsman of Asara[Intermediate]: While his physical strength would at first appear to be his advantage in the art of the sword, it would soon become apparent that he is a skilled swordsman not because of his strength, but due to his experience and wide scope of battle knowledge. Raelis has fought in many environments, on multiple planets, and is thus capable of quite a bit. This coupled with his wings, supplementary magic, and increased physical attributes makes him a formidable opponent capable of cutting thin iron, as well as doing a fair amount of damage to his foes. He is dextrous and flexible, as his armor, while similar in nature to iron, is quite malleable due to its enchantments.

Character Equipment

Asaraen Armor[Intermediate]: Composed mostly of iron, Raelis' armor is fairly normal in regards to what is worn by Asaraen warriors. Interestingly enough, Raelis has altered his own through the continued utilization of Devene Light through its form. As such, his armor has become particularly flexible, retaining malleable, almost clay or leather-like, properties so as to mould to his movement. On the other hand, the armor maintains a constant heat, causing it to emanate a soft light and a gentle warmth. This makes it appear as if Raelis is constantly glowing and emitting holy light. While it maintains this malleable quality, the armor's ability to defend Raelis' body is maintained, as it will harden before making contact with objects which mean to harm its wearer. Most think it is magic that does this, but in truth it is technology. Microscopic nanobot cameras dwell within his armor, as they do in all Asaraen armor. These nanobots detect possible threats, calculate the variables, and reharden the armor in response, but only when necessary. This includes environmental threats, so it is not reserved purely for his enemies, but also for things non-weapon or inanimate things that might harm. Hs gauntlets are capable of opening around the fingertips, allowing his talons to emerge and be used as weapons. This armor is insulated where it comes into contact with his body, so as to diffuse the high temperatures it can reach, the maximum temperature before the insulation begins to fail is between 200 and 300 degrees fahrenheit. The armor has a ventilation system that activates at 150 degrees, where it can cool the armor back down to its normal temperature in the space of 3-4 minutes. This ventilation system will also slow the speed that the heat will conduct through to the deeper layers of the armor, thus protecting its wearer. To compensate for the temperatures that the blade of Rhay can reach, his gauntlets have been made with an alloy that is a mixture of the material that the blade is made out of, and the material that composes the rest of his armor. This allows his gauntleted hands to withstand 400 degrees, though his hands will feel stiffled within and he will be more and more uncomfortable. While his gauntlets can handle a higher temperature than the rest of his armor, this does not mean that his other armor can handle coming into contact with the gauntlets. To help alleviate, but not remove, this problem, the gauntlets have an exceptionally good ventilation system, which can cool them from 400 degrees in record time (8 posts). The armor (not including gauntlets or wings) will begin to melt at roughly 600 degrees, while the gauntlets will begin to melt at 1000. It should be noted that, while not visible, Raelis is wearing a sort of helm.

Maelstrom[Intermediate-High]: Custom made for him, Maelstrom is what one could consider an enchanted object, as it is a series of magnetically linked plates that cover both his wings. These plates all have bladed edges that are as capable of shearing flesh as any bladed weapon. While they are magnetically bonded, they are also bonded together by being melted slightly by the Light of Devene, meaning that they will not fall off if something disrupts the magnetism connecting them. Like the rest of his armor, Maelstrom possess nanobot cameras. However, these serve a dual purpose here. While they still heat or cool the metal, they also make sure it does not damage his wing in addition to being able to focus the heat on the bladed edges of the armor, allowing them to burn and cut through objects, not to mention people, more smoothly. Lastly, this armor contains pores which pull in and trap air, storing it within the plates. This air is pulled in when the wing is moved and it facilitates both an offensive attack and an essential function: Flight. Without this particular ability, Raelis would be incapable of flight while equipped with his armor. In addition to these more scientific traits, Maelstrom has been enchanted, allowing it to not only store wind with technology, but also to control the wind in a 8 meter radius of Raelis' body. This process is controlled by Raelis due to him being in direct contact with the armor. The armor is insulated in the areas directly in contact with his wing, thus allowing it to reach a maximum temperature of 350 degrees before the insulation will begin to fail. The reason Maelstrom can reach higher temperatures than Raelis' armor is due to the fact that its ventilation system is far more effective, which is a direct result of its air storage. At any time, Raelis is capable of removing Maelstrom simply by willing it so, and while there is a slight delay, upon willing it the magnetic polarity of the armor will become the same, repelling it from his body rapidly. There is a metal lining on the bone of his wing that allows him to pull Maelstrom back to his wing, but it will take a good while (anywhere between 5 and 10 posts) to properly reassemble the armor onto his wing, despite the fact that he does not have to monitor the process. The armor cannot be reapplied until it has cooled down to a sage temperature of 100 degrees (takes anywhere between 4-6 posts depending on the temp). This armor will begin to melt at 650 degrees.

Blade of Rhay[Intermediate]: A weapon named after their solar system's star, Rhay, the blade of Rhay is exceptionally conductive of heat and is made from unknown materials. This weapon is especially dense, which is what attributes to its odd weight. Due to its conductivity, the blade is more effective than most weapons when it comes to cutting, but is oddly less effective in terms of piercing attacks utilizing its point. The hilt acts as a grounding agent, allowing any conducted electrical or heat energy to diffuse and never reach the hand of its wielder, thus protecting them. There is however a single thin strip of metal that is in the very center of the handle, which allows the user to channel their power through the blade. It is this strip of metal that allows Raelis to properly utilize the Light of Devene in tangent with his blade. This blade is depicted in his reference picture. The Blade of Rhay can withstand astronomical amounts of heat, seeming to be entirely unaffected by it, other than the fact that it will heat up along the edge(s), or areas, that the user wishes it to. Additionally, the blade is capable of reacting to the Light of Devene much faster than other objects, allowing it to reach incredibly high temperatures at astounding speeds. It should be noted, that once the blade's temperature exceeds 200 degrees that it will become increasingly more difficult for its hilt to properly diffuse the heat and stop it from reaching Raelis' hand. The Blade of Rhay can reach 80 degrees in a short amount of time (1 post) and can do so continuously almost indefinitely provided that Raelis still has the energy for it, that it maintains exposure to the Light, and that Raelis does not stop the process prematurely. The blade can cool at a rate of 50 degrees every 30 seconds (1 post).

Cloak of Air[Intermediate]: This hood and cloak is worn by Asarae who are sent off planet. This cloak transmutes their Devene into breathable air as well as changing what would be poisonous atmospheres into breathable air. If damaged the cloak will repair itself by gathering surrounding chemical elements and altering their electron amount utilizing the Light of Devene. This process can go at alarming rates, especially if he is in motion, or assists it. The hood of this cloak, in tangent with Maelstrom, is capable of diverting heated air away from him so as to not breath it in and cause considerable damage. The space within Raelis' helm, as long as it is beneath his hood, is significantly colder and will actually drop in temperature upon the cloak detecting heat. This stops him from inhaling the heat that emanates from the Light of Devene.

Eriinn[Intermediate]: A small ship used to travel through space. It is a common ship and is not equipped with any weapons, though it is capable of becoming completely invisible. Used solely for interplanetary and inter-solar travel unless its spatial warp engine is active, upon which time it can detect and transport itself to any multiversal gate in the area. It cannot travel through them with its engine on, but once it is near them it can simply fly through.

Biography: Jordan Prentice was born in the early 20th century in a quiet suburb of Los Angeles. His mother was a housewife which took care of Jordan. His father was a sailor enlisted into the US Navy. Jordan grew up as an only child. Spoiled, his first disappointment was when his father left as the First World War broke out. Jordan cried for days. He had many friends growing up, as far as he could remember. Jordan was much more sociable as a child than he was as an adult. It seemed that the older he got, the more solitary he became.

In his twenties, the second world war broke out. Not wanting to be in the war like his father, Jordan dodged the draft by excusing himself with a college education. His major was music- something which seemed simple enough to him at first glance. It was in college where he learned the fundamentals of music. It was also in college where he became a vampire. The one who embraced him was a woman who had been in the body of a twelve-year-old girl for over two hundred years. Her childer was once a Scottsman who escaped to the Americas after his clan saw persecution in his homeland. She was turned after her vampire parent saw a little girl dying of the bubonic plague. The vampire, unable to catch the disease, embraced the girl to save her from sickness.

His parent was an 10th generation vampire, thus making Jordan Prentice the 11th in line to have received the embrace. It was unknown why Jordan was embraced himself. The woman who embraced him had helped him for his first five years. The two developed a strange romance, the woman helping Jordan integrate himself into vampire society. He was soon introduced to vampire politics. While he was immersed in the life of a vampire, he had gone missing for years as a human. Society had simply declared him dead, his mother having a grave stone for him right next to his father. Jordan still visits those grave markers.

As time went by, Jordan slipped further and further into seclusion, until suddenly, a call came. Jordan was given a letter, tasked to kill a man for a sum of money. In his unlife, Jordan had no need for such earthly compensation, and yet he commenced with the job. The man was slain, his body drained of blood, and then his body disposed of. When he met his new boss, it was another vampire. He too was 11th generation but older than Jordan. His mission was made clear when Jordan was given his next target- another vampire. This time, much thinner in blood, and Jordan himself could sense it. His targets were thin-blooded vampires, those of 19th and 20th generation. Simply put, his job was to "delay the apocalypse", removing the amount of thinblooded vampires. Jordan became known in the vampire community as an infamous kinslayer. He adopted a new facade- the Heavy Metal Man Hunter.

It seemed that Jordan actually had some kind of talent for it. These talents did not go unnoticed, however. An inter-dimensional traveler took notice. Jordan was then tasked to hunt targets not from the same universe and given the proper tools to do so.

Note - Gangrel: Jordan's vampire clan. Thought to have originated in medieval England, the Gangrel are a group of vampires who have gained a stronger affinity to their beast aspect as opposed to other vampires who choose to suppress it. In Jordan's universe, most vampires may only change into their bat forms while the moon is out. Gangrel have better control of their beast form, allowing them to change between it and their human form whenever they please, and may change into a form between beast and man.

Note - Sunlight: A common practice among vampire parents and children is to test resistance to sunlight. Those with thinner blood generally last longer as opposed to those with thicker blood. Jordan, an 11th generation vampire, is capable of lasting ten minutes as opposed to his parent who could last only six. While burning, the vampire very realistically catches on fire, allowing them to burn other things in the area. The vampire then becomes a pile of ashes covering a shriveled corpse. In order to reverse the process, the body must receive blood from their own body prior to vampirization no more than 4 hours after death but no less than two. The vampire must then feed within the next 24 hours. If a vampire does not receive blood within this time frame, they die their final death.

Note - Physical Prowess: The ability to lift above his head a total of 2,500 pounds; the ability to run a mile in 3.59 minutes; these are all Jordan's physical capabilities as a vampire. His Mask of Moon both protects him from the sunlight and suppresses his inner beast. This means he may not access some powers other vampires of his particular clan normally would be able to. His sense are more or less the same of that of a human, though his hearing is slightly better. Even so, with his beast suppressed, Jordan is incapable of using his super hearing as well as incapable of using echolocation as bats do.

Equipment:

Mask of the Moon: A silver thespian mask with the mouth cut off, the bottom shaped into fangs. The mask is enchanted to be extremely durable, capable to stand 6 shots of 9mm before breaking. The mask protects the wearer from the sun, and as long as the mask remains on the wearer's face, he does not burn in direct sunlight. The mask also suppresses the inner beast within Jordan, allowing him to stay more controlled and think more clearly.

Kodokuna Kazuko: A pair of reverse bladed katanas which Jordan reverse wields. They are made with a black steel forged with the blood of a 5th generation vampire within the blades. While in the absence of sunlight, Kodokuna Kazuko automatically protects its wielder, the blades going to the place of any threats and meeting them with the cutting edge. The blades themselves seem nigh unbreakable, folded over a thousand times. They are held on each side of his hip by a leather strap connecting them to the belt of his trench coat. The sheathes are fashioned from wood and covered in black leather.

Rain Shadow: A Deagle brand Eagle with the metal colored to a dark blue and fashioned with a pattern similar to the groove on Kazuko's blades. Its magazine well is modified for 6 rounds of .44 magnum. It is otherwise mundane. There is a leather strap which goes over Jordan's right shoulder with the holster of the pistol on Jordan's torso.

Shroud of Darkness: Made from black silk with the ashes of vampires that died in the sunlight sewn in, the Shroud of Darkness is a macabre reminder of Jordan's very real mortality. The shroud takes the form of a long black trench coat which Jordan wears unzipped. The shroud has properties which allow it to nullify damage. A blade or bullet which meets the coat simply slide off. The shroud also allows Jordan to become invisible as long as he is not within direct sunlight.

Vial: A small vial containing 10 ml of Jordan's own blood from before he became a vampire. Enchanted with vampire magic, the blood does not spoil and the vial does not break so long as Jordan remains alive and conscious. The vial is a last ditch should he actually die from either sunlight of crucifiction, the vial would break on its own rejuvenating Jordan.

Abilities:

Vampirism: A strange mutation which his vampire parent adapted was the ability to absorb blood from any part of the body- including hair and nails. This has no apparent adverse affects on absorption, and is the reason why Jordan keeps his hair long. By draining a body nearly to the brink of death, and then giving the body a bit of his own blood, Jordan can "embrace" a mortal and turn them into a vampire. Jordan ust drink blood every 48 hours, otherwise the Mask of Moon fails to work, and he enters his beast form involuntarily. The beast then seeks the highest point it could find and waits for sunlight to kill it. Crucifiction and sunlight are surefire ways to ensure Jordan's final death, however, dealing enough damage to kill a human would put Jordan in a comatose state for three days.

Arachnophobia: When Jordan has an excess of blood in his system, he is capable of using said blood to create a mass of spiders equal in biomass to the amount of blood he chose to expend. Jordan has complete control over these spiders. The spiders can explore and seek blood for Jordan, draining about twice their size in blood before reaching full capacity. These spiders also burn in direct sunlight, however, as long as Jordan wears the Mask of Moon, they are safe.

Ferrophobia: Jordan can manipulate the blood of a freshly drained victim in order to create a thin armor around him which can repel force up to that of a cannonball and protects from magic in one hit. He needs at least 500 ml of blood in order to create one layer of armor.

Trypophobia: Jordan is capable of manipulating blood into a ball of energy which he can fire at a target. When it hits its mark (or misses and hits something else) the ball creates a series of uneven holes. The ball itself has about the force of a 9mm bullet fired from an M9 and are not much bigger but are definitely rounder.

Beast Form: Jordan's inner beast is a bat, as have his vampire ancestors. He can at will, transform into a bat. His full beast form, however, is more humanoid. It is bald with pointed ears, tufts of hair coming out from the back. His entire mouth becomes fangs and his arms expand, growing a webbing between his arms and his torso which allow him flight. A pair of ebony horns grow from the back of Jordan's skull forming a crown as they reach to the front of his head. His skin changes from a pale-blue to a deep, leathery gray. His maximum lift increases to 3,000 and he can run a mile in 3 minutes. In addition, he is more capable of using more bat-like abilities.

Note - Protean: The ability of vampires to change form. Jordan, in bat form is 8 inches long with a wing span of about 2 and a half feet. While in bat form, he can fly at up to 25 mph. While wearing the Mask of Moon, however, Jordan may not use this ability.

Note - Vampirism: A bit of an OOC note here. Jordan's form of vampirism is pretty eclectic in terms of the inspiration that was drawn from to produce his level of mess. His vampire clan comes from Vampire the Masquerade, a systems Roleplaying game published by White Wold and so most of his vampiric abilities draw from there. His power set is loosely based on Vampire Knight Requiem, a French comic; though his ability to drain blood through any part of his body stems from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Tacked onto that, is that vampires in Jordan's universe don't age from the moment they are bitten which pays homage to Anne Rice. I wish this character could honor Bram Stoker a bit better, but for now, this is the character.

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant
Description:


Standing just over average height, Khazna possess only slightly broad shoulders with a somewhat deceiving lean if not athletic build, compact with wiry muscles and a very dark complexion. His most notable feature is the solid midnight black mask he wears at all times, cast in the visage of a smiling skull. He wears a grey and black armored bodysuit with various visible armor plating, such as shoulder plates, elbow pads, knee and shin pads. On his head he has a black and grey mask, the eye region is covered by a reflective black visor, the over all shape is that of a skull. Apart from this his he often wears a fur like cape ending just around his knees a duel clips allows it to be easily shed when needed.

Personality Description: Khazna personality can be described as somewhat erratic. He often seems carefree, lighthearted, often joking or making light of even the most dangerous of threats. Khazna often makes himself appear to be foolish or dim. He does this seemingly to cause others to underestimate him. His jabs are often aimed to cause rivals to make mistakes when brought to wrath. Khazna for the most part believes wholeheartedly Angar-Rylla cause to bringing peace and unification throughout all the omniverse. To Khazna there are only two types of people, those who support the Angar-Rylla, and those who are against them. Extremely arrogant and prideful, Khazna often underestimates his opponents or twos with them over long.

Skills, powers and abilities:

(Intermediate)Scion of War: Despite his fairly young age, Khazna's arduous and extensive training since childhood by the military collages of Angar-Rylla has conditioned him to the absolute peak of human physical potential, granting him considerable speed, reflexes, and agility, well beyond the standard of his age, even compared to most peak humans still in their prime. He also possesses remarkable stamina and resilience, able to continue fighting effectively even with critical wounds. A formidable opponent in battle, Khazna's lifelong training has given him remarkable mastery in firearms, martial arts such as CQC which resembles judo or jujitsu, free-running allowing him to run along walls at speed, and he has become especially known for his inhuman skill in swordsmanship, being able to wield up to five swords simultaneously and strike with blinding speed and precision, even to the point he can predict and deflect bullets in mid flight. He has also demonstrates himself to be extremely intelligent leader and skilled in alien or extra-dimensional military weaponry. A prodigy from birth Khazna's mind and senses process information at such speeds that things often seem to move at a slower rate to him than normal, allowing him to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly.

(Low)Eyes of War: Khazna is rumored to be a descendant to the long since dead God of War and Goddess of the hunt. If such is true, it may explain Khazna's extraordinary skills, primarily his eyesight. He can see with perfect clarity at greater distances than an ordinary human, even in near-total darkness the second ability is being able to see through solid objects, basically translating into telescopic sight. Allowing Khazna to see through most barriers, and other things such as smokescreens. This power truly manifest itself by giving him sight abilities that far exceed a regular human's eyesight; allowing him to read an opponent in battle and avoid oncoming attacks by (reading his opponents body language, so this does not work on creatures with no clear autonomy; goo girls for example) with little to no effort depending on the nature of the attack. This abilities evolution is known as the "Eye Of War" and allows Khazna, after four preps, total awareness 360 degree of his surroundings for 300 feet. It lasts the equality of post used to prep it. (minimum of 4)

(Low)Durability/Strength: Khazna's durability is only slightly superior to that of a normal human being, just below peak human, having adjusted to survive the wind resistance found in mach speeds. In all it's not overly impressive in the face of a multiverse full of giant beast, monsters, and droids. Khazna can dead-lift 600 Ib though can hit with much greater force when combined with his potent speed.

(Low)Master Tactician: Khazna possess a keen military mind for both strategy and tactics. His campaigns leading Angar-Rylla forces have proven that he possess both intelligence and tenacity. He possess almost inhuman skill in calculating enemy moments keeping several steps ahead of any opponent he meets. A tactical master, taking every advantage offered him and seeking to create more. Khazna is also a very fast learner. Even if he observes a particular combat maneuver just once or twice, he is able to adapt it to his choice of weapons and duplicate it effectively in battle. He is also excellent at improvising; he can use his surroundings to excellent effect, when he would otherwise be at a severe disadvantage. Capable of perfectly predicting the path of his swords. Khazna is also a consummate warrior, combining his ambidexterity, military training, and warrior weapon skills to possibly be one of the most dangerous swordsmen in the Nexus Realms.

(High)Flash-point: Khazna was born gifted with extraordinary reflexes, but he's most impressive traits are in his speed and agility. Whether of innate ability or Angarian genetic tampering Khazna possess extraordinary reflexes. Through the use of 'flash-point' Khazna can summon the full might of his speed in quick burst exceeding or as high as 760 mph or translated to mach 1, so fast it seems he is teleporting. However, once Khazna starts moving at speeds exceeding the speed of sound, he can no longer easily discern his surroundings even with his preternatural eyesight. The world resembling one great blur of motion. To combat this Khazna built his blades out of a unique substance that are made up of strands only Khazna eyes can discern even while using flash-point. Allowing Khazna to always find them even while moving at high speeds. Khazna only ever uses short burst, for while has body has adjusted to using flash-point, Any prolonged use over 30 feet could theoretically flay both skin and muscle from his bones. Khazna also needs a clear point from one spot to the next in order to reach it.

(Intermediate)Strands of The Omniverse: Khazna's ability of sight does not end in accuracy and distance. Khazna has a rare gift in spotting strands and fibers that make up reality after achieving the right focus, even notice when these strands are disturbed by an invisible enemy, this ability thus allows him to see energy, energy flow, and the threads of energy circulating the system inside a body with great detail as well as the color of their energy. Unable to manipulate space or time, Khazna for the most part cannot interact with these strands or fibers. With his Starlhrim forged blades however, strands that build magical or supernatural effects can be cut when passing through certain focal points to alter them in such a way they collapse into themselves. In the most basic of terms, Khazna can slice a fireball or other magical bolt out of existence by cutting the power that sustains them from the rest of the effect. While also using gathered energy in a sword to cause the magic effect to collapse in on itself. As the blades cannot effect material objects in the same way, this only works on magical or supernatural attacks. The more energy/mana (prep) within the attack, the more strands need to be found and cut to destroy it. (also measured in preps)

(Low)Disciplined Mind: Khazna intense psychotherapy coupled with an indomitable will grants him great resistance in the face of psionic attacks or seduction.

Character Equipment:

(Low)The Mask: Khazna's mask is not simply for show, as it possess several life support features as well. A built in respirator helps filter out toxins and draw upon an internal oxygen supply that can last indefinitely thanks to it's ability to recycle used air. The Visors over the mask's eye holes protect Khazna from light bursts and allows him to see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum's as well as enable vision in low-light conditions.

(Low)Generals Vestment: Khazna wears little actual armor aside from light body protection which is made of special particles that help resist air friction from moving at great speeds, they also defend on the same level as a bullet proof vest on par with modern day Dragon Skin. His body suit uses dozens of small round ceramic plates built under a hard vest that further protects against high caliber strength rounds while tightly woven fiber layers can give soft armor resistance to stab and slash attacks from knives and similar close-quarter weapons. Though offers no resistance against heavy kinetic blunt weaponry.

(High)Serenity and Mercy: Khazna always carries with him at all times twin blades both forged of a rare meteorite ore known as Starlhrim. Aside from being an ultra hard and lightweight material reportedly being able to cut through all known steel with ease, it has a unique reaction to supernatural forms of energy like magic. Once it comes into contact with it, it can store bolts of energy from raw elemental attacks, of which can then be used to help not only deflect these attacks but also dissipate them. Khazna skill with them means he can literally use them to cut away the energy used to manipulate these attacks. Mages and other arcanist are said to hate this material with a passion for their use in hunting their kind. The blades themselves are are razor sharp, enough to cut through tungsten, is forged entirely of Starhilm, making them resistant to almost all forms of elemental energy, including acid, force, fire, water/ice, earth, and wind. The swords have an overall length of 35.5 inches, both are kept in scabbards that house countless nano-machines known as Mibs. These Mibs are capable of almost instantly repairing any marks or even reconstructing the blades using a method called Matter Proliferation. Khazna built into each halt a specially designed trap that will spring if the blades are handled improperly, with Khazna knowing the exact manor in which to wield them. After a post of someone else wielding one of his blades, blades will explode out from all around the handle, slicing apart the victims hands. The blades can cut almost any known solid material, including most metals, wood, and some varieties of stone. The only known exceptions are Starhilm and other ultra-hard metals like adamantium. Khazna's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon both the amount of force he can exert and the thickness of the substance. The grip and pommel length measure 6.25 inches giving it an overall length of 41.75" allowing decent reach, and a weight of 2 pounds 6 ounces.

(Low)Dance of Blades: The nano-machines Khazna possess can spread out in a thin dark mist from each scabbard at Khazna's waist. Khazna can slice through this mist where upon the per-programmed mibs will suddenly replicate the blade. This will for a short time make a double of the weapon, and there is no limit to the amount of time Khazna can do this as long as there is none-living matter close at hand for the mibs to replenish themselves. These fakes will fad and fall apart after a period of time (roughly four post), only Khazna himself can tell can tell the difference from a clone and the real blade thanks to his familiarity. The blades themselves are just as strong as the real ones they mimic and react to energy the same way. Khazna can snap his forefingers to instantly erase any and all created blades causing them to burst into obscuring black mist. He carries four grenades at a time with him full of Mibs which are none-lethal but allow him to quickly envelope a area in nano-machines. These of a 20-30 foot effect range.

(Low)Training weights: Khazna has strapped pair's of heavy 150 pound weights, these extremely heavy weights on his ankles appear deceptively light, increasing his strength at the cost of inhibiting his speed to levels that many of his peers still consider quite fast. Upon removing the weights, Khazna's speed vastly increases, making it almost impossible to see his movements with the unaided eye. Thus allowing him to reach mach speeds found in 'Flash-Point'.

Character History: Khazna was born in a colony world of the Angar-Rylla empire. The moment he was born Khazna was born his destiny had already been decided for him. He was chosen as part of a new Commander training program called "Project Tribune." Young children were taken young and placed within a foster school which would house them the rest of their young adult lives. There Khazna developed all his skills and knowledge in the art of war. Khazna is the name given to him upon gradation. He was originally "Prospective Number 12" amongst hundreds in a secret program created by Angar-Rylla and the Angarian military to find the perfect Commander. The whole process involved gathering male and female infants from their birth and secretly raising them up within the collage. They were taught about the world, strategy, history, and politics in classrooms. When old enough, Khazna and other would begin training with swords and would duel against one another in matches with everyone watching. Every candidate used the same type of sword, the same blade Khazna uses to this day. After their training was complete and gradation neared, doctors would then inject the Gene-spores bearing the genetic code of Angar-Rylla's greatest leaders and strategist into the candidates, the ones before Number 12 died as the powerful genes destroyed their bodies in rejection. Khazna ended up as the sole survivor of the process, his unique heritage allowing him to survive the experiments.

On his 20th birthday Khazna was given command of his first squad, and each and every mission he partook of he excelled expectations. A man of extremes, Khazna always went the distance, rapidly raising through the ranks. By the time he became Lord Cardinal with a fleet under his command, had already earned a string of successes under his belt and gained quite the reputation. Now having learned of the Nexus of worlds from Sir Dou’far Klaast preaching on the topic. Khazna too see's it as a glorious opportunity to spread the might and order of the Angar-Rylla Empire through all the muiltiverse.
