"I...Live?"Appearance:
Disguise:
Due to his body being revived with his own dark energy, Damien has developed a fatal weakness to bright light of any form. Any direct contact to his skin is excruciatingly painful and too much exposure will "re"kill him. Hence the ironic hoodie he wears to not only disguise his scary appearance, but also protect himself from the light.
Real Name: Prince Damien Blacke I
Alias: "The Corpse Prince" or just "Prince"
Gender: Male
Age: 17 (At time of death)
Weapons:
The Blacke Blade- A bastard sword forged and infused with the dark abilities of the short-lived Blacke family line. It wields the fearsome ability to seal a person slain by the blade's soul and materialize their likeness to serve the wielder. Curiously, the blade's power has waned over the years of Damien's slumber and can no longer add new souls to it's servitude. It can only manage to summon weak avatars of the damned and dead who have died in the surrounding area of the blade for a temporary time.
Willow Tears- A magical staff buried along with Damien and his sword. The staff is used to channel his dark magic and aids in the casting of spells.
Powers/Skills:
Semi-Immortal- By bringing himself back to life with his own malevolence, Damien can reconstruct his own body as long as a small bit of his own power remains, how long this takes depends on the damage. A cut taking a few minutes, while complete annihilation taking a few years before Damien can even recreate his skeletal structure. He will live until his power runs out for good which will be a good many more years, much longer than the average lifespan of a human.
Swordsman- Accomplished and tested by the wars of old, Damien is a skilled swordsman, and wields his blade with considerable accuracy and precision compared to most every person of the modern time who have not experienced the same type of warfare as he.
Magic- The inherent talent of the Blacke royal family. Various spells include, but are not limited to, dark energy blasts, hiding oneself from view, telekinesis. He has a large plethora of useful spells he can use as long as he has enough energy to fuel them. Since his body is fueled by his own energy, using spells is the equivalent of draining his own life force. He can't use too many spells before he has to recharge his energy.
Personality: Formerly haughty, arrogant, and brash, his own death and revival has somewhat straightened his pretentious attitude. Though it sometimes surfaces itself from time to time, he is for the most part cooly reserved. Instead of preferring the headlong charge like his former self would've liked, his own death has taught him the error of impatience. The cruelest lesson, death, has served itself to hone his brilliant cunning and mental maturation upon his revival. Now he makes use of cold tactical knowledge and strategical experience in all facets of combat. Comparatively to his usual cold self and scary appearance, he has a warm side to his personality and is undoubtedly loyal to those he would call his allies, something of Chivalry.
Biography: There is a period of the Middle Ages once remembered but now forgotten in the sea of history, a time in the history of old England that lasted for 20 years. No records have surfaced in our current time, but it was the short reign of the Blacke Royal Family. A family that came to power for a short time before being quickly usurped and forgotten. The Blacke's all had a dangerous affinity for dark magic, a feature of the lineage feared by many a noble in the land and a key reason to how the Blackes became the royal family through force.
King Edwin I was the first and final king of the Blackes as his son was slain leading a force to suppress a rebellion lead by treacherous nobles. Damien was the crown prince and extremely talented in the art of war as well as his frightening natural ability in magic, he was the King's pride and joy. Though skilled and smart, he lacked experience and was too young and brash, thus leading to his being slain at the hands of the enemy. His forces were completely annihilated while he himself could do nothing to stop it. Damien walked the battlefield for days unknowing that he himself had already died, eventually his life force gave out and he fell, just another lifeless corpse on the battlefield. Only months later after his burial did his father succumb to illness and pass away, ending the Blacke family's legacy. Damien laid dead in a coffin sealed with his father's magic.
Many years passed and the discovery of an ancient coffin in England baffled historians as to its origin. Even more confusing, the coffin was completely unopenable by any tool used on it. After years of work on the impenetrable box, it was decided to send it to a museum in Jump City before researchers would gather funds to work on it again. Put on display in an exhibit it sat there for months. Inside however, dark magic swirled and pulsates in the body of the late prince. Eventually he awoke, he could not feel his heartbeat, and not even his own breath, but somehow he
lived. The next day on the news it was reported that burglars had broken the glass box around the display and had stolen whatever had been inside the coffin.
Extra Info: Damien has only recently awoken and is still adjusting to his new abilities and appearance as well as readjusting to his body. He is still changing his speech mannerisms to fit the times, though his older way of speaking is mostly gone he still has an extremely formal way of speaking. He has lived up till now in an old mausoleum.
