History
Alaric Van Rhanclave is long dead. Now people fear me, Das Vorzeichen des Fortwährenden Zwielichtes, The Harbinger of Perpetual Twilight.
The blood of Humanity is powerful beyond you.
Just because I'm Male, don't think you will live.
I've been killing weak creatures for about 24 years. But I keep the appearance of a 29 year old.
This doesn't even matter but I'm Heterosexual...
Your existence is a crime, so I listen to Zusammensetzung Achtzehn - Ewige Nacht (Composition 18 - Eternal Night) to alleviate the trauma.
The ones who judge merely by appearance know not of my cruel nature. After all, how could a face like this, thrice blest by Fortune herself ever bring the blade to the soft throat of mine enemy? I believe wholeheartedly that the cause of a man determines his noble machinations, so I place my loyalty to the King above the love of my Long-dead Parents. To be honest, I would forsake my Family name to serve under the hand of King Keir if I had to. I have been told many times to even hold back for the enemy, apparently freezing Prisoners and shattering their corpses before their Families were too inhumane. Bah. In Keir's kingdom, Ethics and Chivalry mean little and was as honorable as bathing in a Pig's Sty. Though I play the facade of a Gentleman to women, though I really find no exception between killing Innocents or Soldiers. In peace, Murder is treason. But in War, Murder is Heroism. Who cares if I murder a few innocents by Frost? I can always play the 'aiding the Rebels' card to justify my horrible act. That is, if anyone is willing to bring up my acts of loyalty to the King.
I am a Bastard. Both at acting like one and in birth. I was born second to Lord Koinzell Van Rhanclave and his Sister-in-law Artelind Der Strum. Though I disliked my bastard birth, I played the Brother role to Elseria, my older Sister (By 5 months. Father thought his true wife was never going to give birth until he impregnated his Sister-in-law. Only then did the visible signs of pregnancy surface and the true heir dictated). Despite my status as a Bastard child, I was formally educated by Scholars, Astronomers and even some Magi who taught he about Magic. Despite this, many children of the Noble court accused me of being an Inbred Bastard child, something that earned the person who said it a punch to the face from me. Well, I did puncture the waist of a child who called me that in Fencing Practice, but curse the gods at the fact that he still lived. After that I was trained to be a Squire. When my training had ended I served Keir's will by joining the Army, appropriating punishment and death to anyone who merely questioned his rule, innocent or not. They all received the same punishment: frozen to death agonizingly slow before their village, hung upside down and left to thaw painfully before being decapitated. To the villagers I simply froze and killed their crops as a punishment for even thinking about rising against Keir. I was a total Bastard until... well, I heard about the Twin Usurpers who are trying to overthrow king Keir. I literally jumped on top of the whole damn thing, serving Keir's son with my blade and my Cold fury as instruments of Mass destruction.
No one can be the best at Fencing and swordplay other than me.
The powers I control are Ice. Isoldë and it's Sheath are my playthings.
My position is The Margrave of Trenton.
Bring me anyone who is superior to me. But I will destroy anyone who is inferior to me! I admire anyone who is loyal to king Keir and fares better than my blade!
What's the point of love? Anyone beautiful and obidient enough to kneel before me as my personal possession I will adore! Less than the King, however. Nothing can transcend a man's honorable duty.
Giygas is the only one above me.
Execution Artes
Blade of Howling Winter Isoldë
Ausführungspositur: Delirium-Blume
Execution Stance: Delirium Flower
Freezes his enemy from the base of their foot upwards, frost creeping slowly as it burns the skin with intense frostbite, causing intense pain and grief to the victim. The mass of Ice increases at the top, taking form of a flower amidst the howling screams of pain from the victim, giving rise to the maddening pain this Execution stance gives.
Ausführungspositur: Eisige Leibeigenschaft
Execution Stance: Icy Bondage
Alaric freezes his opponent's lower body entirely at lightning speed so that the enemy does not actually feel pain. Causes intense numbness, but if the enemy even moves one muscle, that part of the body experiences deep pain and would corrode, easily crumbling and falling away to cause extreme pain.
Ausführungspositur: Kristallkäfig
Execution Stance: Crystal Cage
Takes time to collect moisture around the target, encasing it in a hollow globe of Ice. The longer the Globe remains undisturbed the stronger it becomes, slowly becoming larger and thus harder to break free from. There Alaric can freely change the temperature at his whim, allowing his enemies to usually freeze slowly to death. Only Alaric can freely enter and exit the Globe at will.
Ausführungspositur: Das Heulen der Azurblauen Morgendämmerung
Execution Stance: The Howl of the Azure Dawn
Alaric thrusts his sword to the ground, creating a large fissure before him, ice welling up as sharp icicles in a very wide cone in front of him. Impales all that is in the way, inanimate or not. Causes a loud screech as the rock is penetrated, moisture solidifying into ice crystals that would tear from the ground.
Ausführungspositur: Nie Regel des Frosts beendend
Execution Stance: Never-ending Reign of Frost
Thrusting his sword to the ground, Alaric instantly freezes the environment and everything around it to sub zero temperatures in a wide radius around him. Then the ice breaks with tremendous force, resulting in a brutal blast of cold air that freezes everything else in an even wider area. Chunks of Ice also scatter throughout the battlefield, wreaking havoc to any unfortunate soul not yet claimed by the frost. A demonstration of this is found at this link, starts at 0:24 and ends in 0:32.
Note that these are simply just demonstration powers and will not kill any Story Character. These skills cannot be avoided and can instantly kill any non-player controlled NPC. Some of these NPCs are Generic Soldiers, Villagers, masses of nameless people, ect;. Any Story character can freely avoid or emerge unscathed any of the last two Skills, and can easily avoid or destroy the other 3 execution stances. Only Player characters can safely rescue any NPC frozen from his skills. Execution Stance skills avoided by any Story Character DOES NOT count as Godmodding, but must write about the difficulty of avoiding or blocking the skill (( If your character is reasonably more powerful than Alaric, it also doesn't count as God Modding if you block/avoid it without a sweat. ))
