Phocas Amyntas, Lunatic Cultist
Gender: Male
Personality: Phoc might be a bit too serious. He's cynical, a bit vengeful, and hates overconfidence. He's also very independent, and doesn't like explaining things. He hates righteous people who proclaim themselves as good or heroes, but also obviously doesn't like evil or stupid people. Absorbing the celestial seal seems to have affected his personality. He is subject to bouts of not listening to people, especially when angered, as well as an odd love/hate relationship with things and people associated with the moon. His failure on earth has lead him to seek out something to protect or defend, thinking himself pretty worthless currently.
Ideals: Phoc has dedicated his life to defending and protecting people, without them knowing, though his life and those close to him's lives were on the line as well. As such, he values independence and devotion above all.
Biography: Phoc was born deep underground to a tribe of Lunar Cultists. Their aim was to prevent the Moon Lord Cthulhu from ravaging the earth, through both worship, and the protection and constant renewal of a sacred Celestial Seal that formed a barrier to shield the earth from his legions. Phoc was to be the new head, as his father was the current one leading the cult but was growing old and sloppy.
Preparing for his ascension, Phoc read many books on the Moon Lord and the cult's past. He also learned from his father the cult's politics. The tribe was firmly split between those who truly worshipped cthulhu, and those who believed worship was one of the ways of preventing his arrival and wished for the god to simply leave the earth alone. They even prophesied a hero who would slay the god.
Phoc didn't believe that was true. His research indicated that the thing from beyond was responsible for restarting humanity with all those relics of the past lying around, relics of a decently advanced civilization reduced to just memories and a few guns. If a whole world couldn't stop it, no one man could either.
As Phoc's day to lead came to fruition, one of the few surface dwellers told of how someone had slain the guardian to the dungeon which they hid beneath. No one had been able to do so yet, and some believed this was the hero's doing. Coinciding with this, the Moon Lord got more restless. He demanded more worship, and for the cultists to rise higher so he could hear them better. This happened again, along with new fantastic creatures appearing in a land of rainbows and blue grass. Every now and then Cthulhu would demand for his worshippers to climb higher and higher, above the dungeon they hid in and to the surface.
Once there, Phoc was worried. The Celestial Seal and the worshipping rituals were fragile and specific. He insisted everyone begin training to defeat potential threats that may arise while on the surface. But it wasn't enough. One day, a woman clad in ghost-like metal and wielding a dark blade approached the tablet, and without caring, slaughtered the worshippers. They barely even had a chance to fight back. Phoc, nearby, rushed to the scene. "Do you know what you've done? I need to get some other sealers before-"
A loud bang interrupted him. The woman broke the celestial seal, it's great power leaking out from the cracks. Enraged, befuddled, and vengeful, Phoc absorbed whatever power was left and dueled the heretic. It was a hard battle, flying in the sky, flames, electricity, illusions and ice flew everywhere. Phoc eventually came out on top, but as the celestial power left him, he realized what was going to happen. In the sky he could already see it, the huge pillars that spawned the Moon Lord's minions. Phoc quickly gathered up the heretic's equipment and made his final stand in front of the place he called home.
It was not meant to be, unfortunately. There were hundreds of them, the monsters, all rampaging, destroying the earth's inhabitants, preparing for His coming. After a full hour of fighting the beasts, Phoc was overrun. As his vision faded to black, Phoc regretted failing in his duties. If he had a second chance, he'd be sure to always protect the earth and those on it.
Powers Celestial Power: A minor remnant of the celestial power he absorbed remains in his body. He has a small boost to health, as well as the ability to generate a lighter-sized flame, an electric charge a bit better than static shock, generate a decent amount of light, and a chilly wind.
Spellsword: Phoc is above ametuer level with both magic and a blade. He's also a decent shot.
Weapons:
- This Uzi, the very first telescopic bolt weapon, has been modified to be just as effective as a minigun. Well, obviously it has a slightly lower rate of fire and a much shorter clip, but it seems to be enchanted to work with any type of round, from a musket bullet to a 9mm.
- A spellbook that reads "Razorblade Typhoon" in latin, this tome summons an incredibly sharp disc of water that homes in on a target to slice it in half.
- The Night's Edge, a sword that borrows the power of evil, has been reforged to be faster, stronger, and when swung generates a spinning blade that travels a few meters before dissipating.
- Vampire Knives, Phoc's best weapon, a relic that, when swung, produces a line of 5 knives that drain blood from any they hit and give it back to Phoc.
Equipment
- His lunar robes, and the mask that marks him as head 'worshipper.'
- Under said robes are a set of spectre's armor, though the headwear has been broken, so no unique effects besides bonuses to magic power and defense.
- A set of spectre's wings, allowing flight for a small amount of time.
- A Charm of Myths, which regenerates an incredibly small amount of health every second, as well as increasing the user's tolerance to potions and magic brews.
- A Star Veil, a small piece of jewelry that summons small stars from above, and gives a split second of invincibility once the wearer is struck.
- A Worm Scarf, which improves the wearer's hardiness by making their skin harder to penetrate.
- Lightning Boots, a pair of shoes which allow the wearer to run at double their usual speed once they've been running for 5 seconds. They also have small boosters in the heels to increase Wing's flight potential.
- 3 greater healing potions. Though they can instantly restore 40% of health, they do horrible things to the stomach. Drinking more than one a minute will induce vomiting, stomach pains, and ulcers. With a Charm of Myths though, Phoc can drink one every 45 seconds.
- 6 mana potions. Restores a decent amount of mana, with no sickness!
- 160 musket balls stored in 5 32 round Uzi clips.
