Sounds like getting that sword out of the hands of the king will be important to both sides, to the light to get it in the hands of a more competent swordsman and the dark to keep it from cutting into our dark lord.

Divine Empathy makes it very hard for anyone to get away with self serving actions without previous kings having encouraged such behavior. Or Do I misunderstand the power? Also in that paragraph you spell the last name as oakenshielf, thought you might want to touch that up

And yeah they have at least three kids as described in the first post. You may need him to be a tad older... a lot older to accommodate children old enough for combat. Though don't take it up with me probably best to take it up with White Feather sometime later.
Might have to make a kingsguard who actually takes the role seriously to conflict with our current kingsguard character that views the position as a way to gain power. and that would make good on my claims to make a light character to go along with the dark. bonus points for giving him conflicts completely unrelated to my other one. the cs may be really boring though.
@Agent B52

I was thinking that Raven would have been attracted to Ahriman's presence do to his sheer evil returning Raven to his senses rather than just being a ghost story. If Ahriman were to come looking for Raven however there would be no door to kick down. Though there would be lots of trees to burn down and surrounding villages to pillage.
@Avanhelsing

I may have have reduced ability to raise fodder from what he currently has. Raven should still be able function on his own, but that would mean he would benefit from your company still, which would be good. Of course neither my character nor my application for dark side commander have been accepted, so I shall wait till relevant parties have spoken before making changes.

@White Feather

Bralomor? I think I'll be taking something like the last pick for light characters. If that is the king then so be it.
@Agent B52

Yeah, I forgot that there was already going to be a necromancer while I was writing my guy up. Probably would have avoided it entirely if I had remembered. As it is I am inclined to keep it as is rather than come up with replacement powers as I would have to come up with another reason Raven was waiting around in the Woods all these years. Building an army for the record. Maybe I should put that in there somewhere. Also running with the idea that he has not quite been himself/entirely there until Ahriman came around. Maybe that's good enough without raising an army of the dead.... hmmm.

Also appreciate the reference to Papers Please.

@Avanhelsing

In the vaccination question do you mean that plagues don't bother you instead of do bother you?
@Esterdi

Careful now. You might find your soul trapped in eternal torment with that kind of talk
@Avanhelsing oops, forgot you meant to make a necromancer, didn't mean step on your toes there.
My character and my application to our glorious dark lord to be his commander.

Name: Raven Von Stein

Age: ?

Gender: Male

Race: Previously human, currently a demonically corrupted living dead being originally of the human race.

Side: Dark side. Applicant for Commander of the glorious dark army of Ahzek Ahriman the Terrible, The Overlord, The Darkest One, Archmage of Thunder, the Oncoming Storm, Lord of the Tesseract Labyrinth, Appreciator of Voluptuous Assets, Ambassador of the Abyss, Thunderous Apocalypse, Dark Magic PhD, etc.

Weapons(s): A rapier enchanted to drain blood from enemies. A heavily reinforced lantern used to store extracted souls. It can also double as a flail when Raven fancies to do so.

Abilities/Powers: Raven can drain souls to increase his magical prowess and physical strength to a small degree per soul and blood to heal his wounds. Magically raven focuses on necromancy, Raising lifeless bodies with ease and even fusing some with his collected souls to create greater more unique undead abominations. He also dabbles in the art of soul fire, a fire designed to afflict only ones soul. Finally an aura of extreme cold surrounds Raven chilling the physical form to its core and weakening the souls of his foes for easier extraction later.

Talent(s): Dueling, strategy and tactics.

Personality: Cold, distant, calculating. He enjoys seeing plans come together and witnessing the demise of those who slight him first hand.

Biography: The white woods are the site of a battle most are too young to remember, but as the elders say the king's men were come upon in a surprise attack, but they fought valiantly to protect the King's flank so that they could strike a finishing blow to the enemy army. Now though stories of ghosts from that ancient battle and worse travel amongst those towns neighboring the wood. Nobody travels through the woods without good reason. But if you must travel through the white woods the villagers will tell you to keep watch through the night and to run as fast as you can if the woods become unnaturally cold, if you hear the rattling of heavy chains, see the pail glow of an unholy fire in the distance or if you see the outline of plate mail walking towards you.

Raven Von stein some whisper is the Revenant of the white woods. A long dead unruly noble who died protecting the king. Not all believe that, many believe his heart must truly have been filled with darkness for any man, noble or otherwise, to haunt the living so viciously. Or some would say hushed around the fire that the king betrayed him, sent him to his death in the white woods. Whatever the cause though the old knight of the nobility is often seen, heard and felt stalking the woods.
That is until recently when suddenly it stopped. The Revenant simply disappeared.

Extras: N/A

1: Name: The Revenant of the White Woods.

2: REAL Name: Raven Von Stein

3: Age: ?

4: Gender: Male

5: Nationality: ((What is the nationality of the kingdom?))

6: Race (if not human please state race/species): Human. Kind of. Demonically corrupted living dead are maybe a grey area as far as race goes.

7: Supernatural Powers (if any): Raising of minor undead. Infusing of minor undead with souls to create undead champions. An aura of cold around myself that wears down the souls of my enemies as well as their physical form. Additionally I can absorb the souls into my lantern for a minimal increase in my magical power and physical strength per soul and can drain blood to heal wounds.

8: Do you or have you ever had a hunchback? (We do not disqualify for handicaps): No.

9: What do you fear? (list any and all fears): I fear failure to accomplish my goals before my end finds me.

10: Do you now have or have ever had aspirations of being an evil lord in your own right?: Don't we all have such aspirations your Dark Lordship. I assure you I seek only to be able to fill your role in the event of your unfortunate demise and your approval of my ascent to such a lofty and honored position.

11: Are all your vaccinations current?: In my current state disease does not affect my physical form.

12: What weapons do you own?: A rapier, a great sword, my lantern, which can be used as a flail if I feel like a change of pace.

13: What martial arts are you trained in?: In my living years I was trained in dueling. Now with my demonic soul infused strength I find it easy enough to brawl and wield impressively large swords or the corpses of my enemies, though I would not say I have been trained in such combat.

14: If references are asked for, could you provide them without digging up an unmarked grave?: Why yes, I hold onto the souls of many references for further questioning and advice.

15: Are you willing to be cannon fodder? (if you don’t know what “cannon fodder” mean, just say yes): No.

16: Would you enjoy attacking heroes as part of a horde? (that’s a really big group): Your dark lordship I would hope that anyone you seek to hold such a high and honored position in you dark forces would understand what a horde is. I am perfectly fine with joining the rabble for a decisive conflict for my abilities are useful on the front lines, but I would not like to be relegated to only being a front line combatant.

17: Why did you become an evil minion?: To kill the Royalty of this land and satisfy my vendetta.

18: What crimes have you committed?: Murder, aggravated assault, deterioration of the boundaries between life and death, murder, forming pacts with demonic powers, grand theft human soul, more murder and slanderous speech against the king and other nobility.

19: What crimes do you want to commit?: I want to remove the entirety of the nobility from their mortal coil. Many crimes may be committed in the accomplishment of this goal and your own goals, but this is the only crime I specifically desire to commit at this time.

20: Can you provide your own minion theme music?: Immediately no, but the acquisition of suitably encouraged musicians should not be too difficult.

21: Can you laugh in an evil manner?: Yes.

22: You have just captured a hero and tied him up. Your next action would be to?: Steal his soul. Stealing their soul has multiple benefits in increasing my power, keeping the hero available for questioning and separating them from their body to remove them as a threat. I would probably not have bothered with the whole tying them up part and jumped straight to the stealing their soul part as soon as they were weakened enough to guarantee its success. Assuming however, that a minion came to my attention with a tied up hero I would them steal their soul and discard the body.

23: A superhero is attempting to thwart my plans. What do you do to them?: Depends on the hero, depends on their plans. Most likely I leverage whatever troops I can to fight with me against them and steal their soul for my collection.

24: Arrange the following in order of importance to you:
A: Money
B: Power
C:The death of all who oppose you
C/B/A/
@White Feather

That sounds like a possibility. Though I guess there are now four concerned parties actually considering our dark lord Agent B52. Whatever. if nobody else has any complaints it will work for me.

Making a light character to go along with the other sounds fine to me, but I'll refrain from calling anything for now.
Maybe we'll just need mire positions open in the dark lord's inner circle. There is certainly demand for it.
