<Snipped quote by dragonmancer>

This is a well done CS, my only concern is how it fits with the setting of this particular RPG. It seems like it would be a better fit for a fantasy genre rather than a superhero/comic book setting. That said, I'd like to see more of an explanation as to how he fits in with the modern setting and what he is doing now.


Will do, I'll have to brainstorm with that and flesh out the bio more, especially post-rebirth part of his story. I'll get back to you on that if I figure out anything.
*Pokes thread with a stick*


Bah, don't poke a stick in my den. Dragon is here!
Would a dragon be an acceptable char? One that can glamour-spell himself a more humanoid appearance? Or a type of Fae that is essentially a dragon hybrid?
Name: Fafnir Sigurd, Dragonmancer
Appearance:





Race: Draconic Human (Human augumented by dragon's blood.)
Class: Knight, Druid (Dragonmancer)
Current Equipment:
-A long poled spear. The blade of the spear is made of steel and it is augumented to be especially heat resistant, and can channel heat through its shaft and into the blade.

-An iron-reinforced leather armor and tunic.

-A set of iron-clad knight armor he stole, as well as an iron short sword.

Background: Fafnir was born into a cult of dragon worshippers, bearing the nicknaming 'hellfire apostles'. It was their center belief that the only way humans can achieve perfection is to become dragons. They belief in a dragon deity named Kilgarrah, who they claim is the god of all dragons, and will either use wild dragons or build statues and other monuments to figure head their religion. Whether it be a living dragon or a simple object, they will often perform sacrifices, both of humans and beasts, to appear their dragonlord. Offerings such as living victims, gold, and the dragonsbane herb, are offered in a bonfire, and if they have the chance, they will appease their dragons with feeding them live sacrifices. Live dragons are either wild dragons that have adapted to being fed by these delusional mortals, or weaker ones are often captures and held in dungeons, showered with treasures and meat to suffice the beast. Inbetween their religious ceremonies and sacrifices, they did hold one truth amidst their madness, and that was the power of dragons. They have written a spellbook in draconic that lists many different spells or 'facts' about kilgarrah.

Fafnir was percieved as the prodigy child upon birth, due to him being born of the cult's leaders. Showering him with appraisal inbetween the abusive rituals he was forced to partake with, carving runes in his skin, and forced into such horrendous sacrifices, Fafnir was further raised upon the many spells and magics of the dragon worshiping cult. He was said to be of the cult's 'dragonmancers' those that are chosen by Kilgarrah to obtain the full powers of a dragon. In order to become a dragonmancer, one must first let the blood of a dragon's seep through the runes carved in the flesh by the cult, then they must drink that blood afterwards. Though Fafnir would be the first and last of this title. At the age of 18, Fafnir looked upon their imprisoned dragon, Fenrir. Though this dragon couldn't speak, Fafnir knew it wanted to escape, he saw what the other cultists didn't, and that was how absurd their faith was. Fafnir had no emotional connection to the cult, they had never raised him to feel such a connection of family. He decided at that day, that he didn't need some cult to achieve perfection. He used what powers he had been granted too in order to exterminate the cult, freed Fenrir who he ascended into one of his spirit dragons, and sent fourth on a quest to meet his own goals.

Upon his journey, he would bond with a select few other dragons, pillage villages and travelling caravans for treasures, and fashion himself his spear and armor. Honing his powers further without the guidelines of a book. It is his goal to become the ultimate force that there is, and to bring dragons for their rare and endangered state into a plague that forces all creatures, monsters and humans, into submission at the lower end of the food chain. For now though, since he doesn't wish to provoke other monsters that may be stronger then his current state, let alone overwhelm him, he plays along to help them against the human forces until he is ready to claim dominion over the world.

Powers:









The four Demon lords and Ancalagon are both very near god level, they are essentially the highest tier of demi-god type creatures at least for demons. However they are still bounded only to physical manifestations, so while they are not as free as the gods themselves, they are still almost as powerful as the primals. (For example, Baalrog can hold his own against kilgarrah for a good fight, with a 40% of victory.)

And yes, as Lexicon stated were starting it off slow, the demon lords will be the master behind the strings of their armies that we will have to deal with. However some Gods might want to try to ally with the demons instead, for their own personal motives and to help inspire political aggression between the pantheon.
@Lexicon @dragonmancer Would it be plausible that there are demons/demonic corruption in the east and/or north? Asivar isn't so active in the south and west of the world, but he has his Nomads in the east and the Tribes in the North.


Why of course, corruption is a dangerous plague
@Tangletail My thought, and @dragonmancer will ultimately decide this, is that the mindstones are demonic artifacts. Del Sombra is the goddess of mortal and immortal secrets, but not demonic ones. Demons are fallen angels, according to our GM's post on the subject, and they've undoubtedly changed a great deal. Honestly, I don't think anyone, deity or otherwise, knows much about them except how they're created. Just my two cents.

Also, only a demon can properly activate and use a mindstone. All a god or goddess would be able to do is figure out what it does and who it allows you to talk to.


I approve of Lexicons proposal.
@dragonmancer Small question. Would you mind if Asivar temporary "tames" (more like breaks will of) a Long Dragon. It would pretty much attack the "punny human caravan" not realizing the God of Beasttaming walks among them. It's just to showcase the third and final mark of Asivar, the Yui. (The shenhun - Hunter's mark, the Arvat'Nar or the burned scar mark of the Warrior and the Yui or Mark of the Beasttamer.)


Go ahead, most longs are sentient however, so unless if it is a exceptionally rare non-sentient long dragon it would be more appropriate to reason with it.
@dragonmancer Ha suggests a wall.
A nice big wall.


We need to keep these illegal demons out! Legal demons only!
@Klomster I see. Well, if dragonmancer is alright with it, then we can just make up another city. Also, just for future reference, we're going to try to make the demons one of the bigger threats in the mortal realm. Your post was fine, but I think it might be best to stick to bandits, barbarians, and Elven pricks as far as enemies go. Once we get the ball rolling I'm sure there will be demons everywhere.

@dragonmancer How do you feel about Respite, the Last City, for our settlement of refugees? It could be based in the ruins of an ancient Pre-Cataclysm city or something like that?

Also, I'm going to eat breakfast then get to my post. I apologize for the delay.


Its a good idea, however it would need some kind of protection to keep it from demons instantly taking it over. Otherwise though I approve. Don't worry about delays, I don't expect people to pull out fast posting or anything.
