Not fully done reading the dark lord, but I am glad to see that one, there is still reason for the sword of Celakor to cut through anything, as Nyarlathotep, has otherwise impenetrable armor, but also glad that the only real way that any characters have of "beating him for good" is Raven. Assuming Raven can steal his soul and seal it in his lantern. Of course that would require an opportunity and the desire to do so, but its a thought. If there are any other ways we have of beating him that I missed let me know.
I guess I was never too worried about that because I felt like Raven could handle him anyway. Perhaps a compromise could be made with ArtifactCreator on this.
I think Sariel would be proud to have Lethonel as a son. Of course still need to wait for word of god to accept them both, but whatever. I think after Leslie's revisions Lucinda will be able to give birth, but I'm sure we can work something out even if that stays in there.
Should we be putting accepted characters in the characters thread already or should we wait for something? Also when is this going to get going
Name: Sariel Proudsword
Appearance:
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Side: Light. Chosen of the Moon. King of Celakor, The Nocturne Slayer
Weapons:
An ancestral greatsword capable of slicing through any material - no matter its magical components, divine blessings or otherwise.
Originally called The Corrector, the Sword of Celakor gained life at the hands of the Elven smith Garandril Stormhammer, who crafted it during the Great Sky War eons ago. The Great Sky War was a battle between the children of the Gods, and their first born creations - the Elves.
The Corrector was made from the bones of Impoter, the Demi-God of Destruction, and smelted in the fires of a now non-existent Mount Hellfire.
Through a long winded combination of conveniences, it fell into the hands of Benhart Proudsword, who used it smote the Necromancer Kings of the Far West - which then enabled him to mount his assault on the Kingdom of Celakor, resulting in his ascension to the throne some five centuries ago.
Abilities/Powers: Sariel uses energy derived from the moon to temporarily alter his physical for, enhancing his strength and speed, growing wings or additional limbs , covering parts of his body in durable scale for protection. Under the power of the full moon he can do all of this without a second thought, but under weaker moons Sariel will have limited energy to draw upon and can only make limited alterations at a time. With a new moon in the sky Sariel can only draw on stored moon energy to fuel his powers.
Divination: Throughout his life Sariel has received visions of the future from the moon, often waking him breathless in the middle of the night. He made particular use of this to escape from castle Clandstein, hunting down monsters in his late teen years, prosecuting and defeating his father for the crown and finding evidence of corruption throughout the land. Lately though the visions have become more erratic in their arrival and only warn generally of a great impending evil.
Talent(s): From a young age and throughout his life Sariel learned how to compose himself in royal courts, to persuade others with his words, to give speeches, the history of Celakor and how to handle the reins of rule when finally they were his to wield. As he grew older he developed more physical skills such as horse riding and swordplay, but while he was always strong and fast with a blade he and his inherited weapon lacked always lacked the finesse to match an opponent at skill of arms alone.
Personality: Sariel is a righteous man who believes in doing right by all people. In his early years he was supremely confident in himself and his ideals, but the many years battling the corruption of the state and preparing for any threat that may befall the kingdom has made him weary of his position and of his own power.
Biography: Sariel was born both during an eclipse of the sun and the anniversary Mount Hellfire’s flattening. It caused many in the kingdom to foretell him as a savior sent by higher powers. In a way they may have been right, but to this day no great evil subjugating the land has been stopped by Sariel’s actions. In his early days he was kept away from most of the world by his father the late king Geralt Proudsword in order to properly train him in his future kingly duties. As such Sariel learned nothing of the nobility’s corruption or any of the plights of his people until he left his home at the age of fifteen. Sariel and his father never really got along. Geralt had always been controlling of his son, but in Sariel’s teenage years his powers began to develop leading the king to clamp down even harder in order to keep his court safe. In retaliation Sariel would sneak out of his quarters at night to experiment with his powers and learn to control them. During this time the young prince yearned to see the world and acquire experiences beyond those needed to run the kingdom which only further drove he and his father apart. Eventually the built up resentment sparked over a ruling in Geralt’s court. The night before a vision from the moon had shown king Geralt accepting money from a hooded figure. Sure enough on the day a noble was declared innocent for the murder of his wife despite the evidence against him. Enraged the prince began escaped from Clandstein, taking the Sword of Celakor with him. For the next three years he traveled throughout Celakor meeting the people and testing his might against the monsters of the land. On his last year away from the castle Sariel spent a harvest season helping a village in the north, leaving them during the winter to return home. Now twenty Sariel returned home and challenged his father for the thrown on the grounds of bribery, mistreatment of the citizens, war crimes and more. In order to protect his honor King Geralt met his son in single combat and was crushed. Sariel did not kill him though, but instead put him on trial and in order to protect themselves, Geralt old cohorts from across Celakor quickly came forward to testify against him. Geralt now resides locked away for the rest of his life. Leading the kingdom afterwards was not easy and in a way Sariel’s early years of training were a blessing, but where Geralt used the power of the crown to line his own pockets Sariel took on the task of raising up the common folk and weeding out corruption. Recently however both efforts have slowed. The visions from the moon have caused him in recent years to build up the military and store resources. For what Sariel could not know, but he’s been worried it would not come for as long as he has prepared for it.
Extras: New Moon Ring: An enchanted ring with the sheen of obsidian that stores energy from the moon for later use.
I'm sure I'll have to go through and fix grammar and whatnot, but for now here it is.
