Knights of Evil (High Casual, Organization of Evil Monsters) (Work in Progress)

@dragonmancer Sigh. Okay, I'll do a ground-up rebuild. This idea is too good for me to pass up.

Knights of Evil (High Casual, Organization of Evil Monsters) (Work in Progress)

Name: Medea, The Walking Damnation

Race: Human witch

Age: 29

Size: 5 foot even, 110 lbs.

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Religion: Medea worships demons and other foul monstrosities, blasphemous things that were long forgotten and should have stayed that way.

Job: Specialist in dark magic

Personality: Medea is a very ambitious individual- her long-term goal is nothing short of world domination, and she'll backstab anyone who gets in her way, even her fellow Knights. She is quiet and manipulative; everything she does is to further some goal, and she's not the kind to raze a village in a fit of anger, although she probably could. In council with Lancelot, she has earned a reputation for wisdom and practicality far beyond her years.

Bio: Medea is the daughter of Morgan le Fay, the greatest and most evil sorceress the world has ever known. She learned much at her mother's knee- how to summon demons, cast curses, and ensnare men. Then came the fall of Camelot.

Lancelot did not ask Morgan to participate in the final siege, and privately, the witch seethed at the slight. In fact, she ranted and raved so much that she had a heart attack. Free of her mother's influence, Medea threw in with Lancelot, rising quickly through the ranks of the Knights of Evil.

Skills/Strengths/Talents

Call to Hell- Medea can summon demons to do her bidding, though she doesn't like to do so unless she needs to destroy a fortified position. No demon will obey a mortal for free, and their prices are often difficult for her to pay.

Corrupt the Land- Medea's first step when destroying a village. Pumping the essence of raw evil into the land, Medea makes food rot, water turn putrid, and sickens people and livestock. This leaves the villagers too weak to flee, vulnerable to the knockout punch that is coming.

Virulent Death- Medea calls forth a plague, causing fevers, lesions and bleeding. Most victims die within seventy-two hours, and those few who survive are finished off by the final stroke.

The Undead Horde- After her death plague has run its course, Medea enters the destroyed village, raising the dead as zombies under her will. They tear apart whoever's still alive, adding to the corpses she commands. Her army now consists of about a hundred human zombies, with a handful of bears to serve as heavy troops

Complete Immortality- Medea has developed a ritual that ensures that, no matter what abuse her body and soul endure, she will always survive. A favorite tactic to induce her opponents to surrender is to simply stand in front of them, letting them see how futile their assaults are. Note, however, that extreme methods of "death" like burning and scattering the ashes may take years to recover from.

Soul Devouring-A little trick Medea picked up from a minor gluttony demon. Among Medea's many jobs for the Knights is interrogation. After she has extracted all the information that racks and thumbscrews can, she draws a ritual circle around her victim, then slits their throat. The soul can't escape the circle, enabling Medea to eat it in one massive bite. The victim spends their afterlife being digested, and Medea gets a small but permanent power boost.

Weaknesses- For all Medea's power, her biggest spells take many hours to set up, meaning that if one knows she's in the area and finds her while she's doing her prep, they can disrupt her something fierce. In addition, she's physically small and frail, and can't do much in a hand-to-hand fight.

Artifact: The Book of Azatoth. Written in blood on human skin, this book contains everything anyone could ever want to know about Hell and its demonic denizens. Medea keeps this on her person at all times, in case she needs to know the ritual to summon a specific demon.

Sigh. I'm starting to have real doubts about my ability to GM, but I'm willing to give this a go.

New Celestia has been in existence since just after World War I. The gods had been slow to realize it, but as their worshippers dwindled over the centuries and millennia, their powers had withered, too. The city was established so the gods would never be completely forgotten, as well as being a safe place for demigods, who tend to attract dangerous supernatural phenome to them. Demigods get a place to stay, gods get an insurance policy, everyone wins.

A typical first day for a demigod, after they arrive, is to be sent to the Grand Temple. There is usually a demigod of Thoth or another writing/knowledge deity on hand, ready to answer any questions and get their name and ancestry recorded. After this, they get a tour of the city, while suitable accommodations are found. The Council always makes sure to have a bunch of unused but livable houses ready, and all homes are enchanted by the goddess Hestia. If you want to change the décor, you just have to think it.

The city is fully up-to-date with modern technology; in fact, probably a handful of years ahead, thanks to the efforts of Hephaestus, who tends to come by regularly. It might be in the middle of nowhere, but agricultural demigods can easily grow enough food with their powers, and if something goes wrong, the gods themselves have been known to pitch in. Granted, they haven't had any need to since the Dust Bowl, but it's happened before. Water is handled in a similar manner.

In case of a massive emergency, the traditional meeting place is the entranceway to the Grand Temple, although those in places of large concentrations of people, such as the markets or school, may tend to ask those around them for information. Usually, information gets around very quickly.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm probably missing something. Any further ideas are appreciated.

Found a picture, and did a full tear-down of the bio.
