GENERAL INFORMATION

Role: The Crypt Master
Nickname(s)/Alias(es): The necromancer, Blood sage, The Bleeding Widow, The Heretical Doctor.
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Love Interest: He still believe he can bring his wife back to life. He ignores all others attempts to court him while he searches for a way to achieve that forbidden promise.

APPEARANCE

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 161
Build: Muscular
Eye Color: Icy Blue
Hair Color: Dusty Blond
Scars/Tattoos/Piercings:

Description: It's been said that Bardon's gaze can feel piercing when one is under it. Indeed some have been stopped dead by the frozen blue orbs starring into their eyes. He stands and walks with his back straight, making slow and careful movements as though attempting to be both delicate and precise with each action he takes. His expressions remain calm and relaxed. He'll smile and frown, same as any other person, but it will be a subtle expression only, never exaggerated. At times he will often seem almost serene in how calm he is, something that can cause others to inadvertently lower their guard around him, something more cautious individuals will find unnerving.

Most notable is the web of veins that appear across his chest and face. Starting at his abdomen and reaching up to his eyes, whilst stretching across his chest and back, these blood vessels become much more pronounced when he uses his powers. When inert he can make them more transparent allowing him to hide them better.

Preferred Clothing: The cold doesn't bother him, his powers are able to keep his body functioning fine even at frigged temperatures. As such he's not too concerned with leaving much of his torso exposed. When he does have company he'll take the time to put a shirt on to make them feel less uncomfortable around him. If he needs to go out or start... "Working for a client" he usually sports a nice thick shirt and trench coat, usually accompanied with a hat of some kind.

MENTALITY

Oddities: Given his ability to always seem relaxed, he tends to be undisturbed by things that would bother someone else. For example he likes to be in colder environments, nor does he mind foul smells. This adds to how eerie he can be at times, when he's able to remain relaxed even around things that would agitate others.

Skills: Bardon is a masterful surgeon and was considered one of, if not the, greatest doctors in Manus Luna... before certain disagreements with the church and government forced him to flee from public eye. He has a very extensive knowledge of the human body, how it works and how each part interlines with others. As such he can put that to use in a variety of situations. Most related to treatment of patients but in other ways as well.

Fears/Phobias: - Autophobia- Fear of being alone.
Likes: Cats, reading, soft music, cold temperatures, rain, stars, art, practicing medicine, coffee.
Dislikes: Rudeness, untidiness, obnoxious sounds and music, people who to disrupt his work, the Cathedral Square and Niamh Antouanette.
Hobbies: Pencil drawing and sewing.

Personality: Bardon is soft spoken and polite individual, keeping his expression and tone on a even level, rarely raising his voice or becoming loud. Though he can seem a little reserved at times Bardon is a friendly and helpful person once you get to know him, able to show concern when warranted and offer advice when needed. Being as patient and understanding as he is he can be an easy person to converse with, making it rather easy to open oneself up to him.

At times though he suffers from depression occasionally, and though he is quite good at suppressing it, it doesn't change the fact that he often feels pangs of loneliness. Still, he manages to keep himself busy with his work, something that he takes great pride in. In fact at time he can almost seem obsessive with his projects and research. It's when Bardon is fully immersed in his work that he can seem almost eerie. Being pron to shutting out distractions and muttering to himself he ignores much of the world around him. At times like this he can become almost a different person, still calm but more assertive.

COMBAT

Preferred Weapon: Bardon rarely finds need for weaponry. He is quite effective at unarmed combat, maybe even more dangerous with the way his powers work.

Power(s):

Hemokinesis - Blood manipulation - The very center from which all of his abilities are based one. His other two "powers" are just an extension of this. Bardon can control his blood even after it's left his body.

Necromancy - Corpse reanimation - Exactly as the name implies, by using his blood he can bring a decease body back to working condition.

Biokinesis - Flesh manipulation - His control over blood can allow Bardon to cut and stitch flesh. A skill he uses mainly in more complicated operations.

Abilities:

Hemokinesis

  • Red Scalpel - Bardon can make his blood shift and change into the form of knives and needles. Useful for surgery work, but can be used as improvised weapons. Especially dangerous as he can make these impossibly sharp and extremely durable.
  • Scarlet Injection - It's possible for him to insert his own blood into another person. The effects can be either helpful or harmful depending on his intentions.
  • Crimson hands - By wrapping blood around his hands, Bardon can make near indestructible gloves. He can stimulate these to create and "impact" effect, or make the blood vibrate on such a high frequency that it lets him cut through steal.
  • Velvet Bullet - When he needs a more precise form of ranged attack, Bardon takes a small bit of his blood and wraps it into a little ball. He then fires this ball like a bullet, using his hands to redirect it mid flight. The down side to this attack is that Bardon needs to both dedicate at least on hand to controlling the attack and stay standing in one place, as controlling the ball while moving is extremely difficult. Because of the amount of focus this attack needs, he uses it very rarely.

Necromancy

  • Breath again - When inserting blood into a corpse, he can use it to re-stimulate the nervous system and force the heart to beat again. This process, unfortunately, isn't a form of resurrection as the body is still capable of rotting and lacks the ability to think beyond processing orders and acting with animal like behavior. Bardon's capable of using these bodies as puppets, mentally controlling them from a great distance. As reanimated corpses, these bodies have no sense of self preservation, and while this means they tend to get torn up pretty easily it also means that they can continually get back up and move after taking damage. When coupled with his use of Biokinesis Bardon can even enhance the muscular structure of the body, making it much stronger and faster.
  • Blood guardian - The most advanced stage of his necromantic powers. By converting the entire biological structure of a body into blood, Bardon can create a life form entirely made of living blood. Blood Guardians are slightly more intelligent then walking corpses, but are still incapable of doing anything without orders. They are, however, much, MUCH, more powerful. Being entirely liquid based, most physical attacks are virtually useless against them and they are capable of changing form and shape at will. They are able to crystallize parts of their bodies into incredibly hard, incredibly strong forms capable of both crushing an slicing through metal with ease. Bardon can use these creatures as familiars, able to carry messages or spy on others.

Biokinesis

  • Sealed Pains - Bardon can crystallize the blood over wounds, stopping blood from escaping and uses the blood to stitch tissue back together. This doesn't heal the injury outright, but it can hold together injuries that could otherwise be fatal until better treatment can be applied.
  • Purging - Bardon can also use his powers to remove any kind of blood born disease or toxin, rendering himself immune to most poisons and allowing him to treat what would otherwise be considered incurable afflictions in others.
  • Limit removal - Using his bio-kinetic powers, Bardon can ensure his body remains structurally sound even under great amounts of stress. This can allow him to empower his bones and muscle enough to let him surpass the normal human limitations and achieve physical strength and agility that wouldn't be possible in an ordinary person.

Fighting Style: List how it is that they act in combat, what are their strengths? Are they physically strong? Agile? Clever? Do they fight at close range, or do they employ their powers more so than anything else? In line with their strengths, make sure that you list their weaknesses as well, no matter how strong someone might be in battle, they all still have weaknesses~

Personal History: Bardon was raised up in an orphanage run by the church. His mother had died during child birth, and he never knew who his father was. As a child Bardon was a very quiet boy, usually left alone by the other kids. He spent most of his time reading to entertain himself while the other kids played, finding some interest in academic, if only to keep him busy. At times the caretakers would take the children out on field trips to different parts of the city. One of Bardon's growing favorites was the hospital just a little way down the street from the orphanage, where the healers lived.

As he grew older he began to study medicine, deciding that he wanted to become a doctor when he became an adult. It was as he became an apprentice that his powers started to awaken. It was small at first, just being able to sense the pulse in another persons body. But over time it grew, allowing him to track it's movement through the body, and even draw it out during operations. Though his co-workers were a bit unnerved around him initially, they began to warm up to him and his abilities as he showed increasingly better results in his operations. As he was already considered a part of the church's healers division, the government could do little to try and detain him, and just left him be.

As time went by his skill as a surgeon improved, drastically. With his powers to sense changes in the body and manipulate those changes through the blood, Bardon slowly gained a greater and greater understanding of the human body. His incites and methods of treatment began to revolutionize modern medicine, eventually earning him the reputation as one of the greatest doctors on all of Manus Luna.

It was when he was at the height of his professional career that he met someone that would change his life. A woman by the name of Auria was brought in as a patient one day. She had a particular condition that baffled the minds of every other doctor that had cared for her, for at random times she would fall into a coma, her skin turn cold, and her heart beat would become faint. She and her family turned to Bardon as a last hope. While Bardon worked to keep her condition at bay he would talk with her. Initially it was only as a way to calm her, keep her relaxed as he worked with her. But as time went on they started to grow close, sharing in common interest in certain subjects and generally being friendly with each other.

Auria was an especially perceptive woman, able to tell things about others just by being around them, and had an allure that seemed to draw he happiness to the surface of others. She invoked a smile with everyone she met, sharing the grins and often giggling with joy as she enjoyed life in the company of others. She saw the loneliness that had plagued Bardon's heart since childhood, and she began to prompt him to find happiness in companionship. Eventually he grew to love her, an affection she shared. With time they married, and Bardon's time with Auria became the happiest period of his life, giving him a feeling he hoped would never end.

But fate would have crueler plans for them. One of Auria's fits hit, this one worse then any other before. Bardon worked to the best that his abilities could muster, but he suppress this attack as easily as he had with the others. Despite his most desperate attempts Auria's heart stopped, this time seemingly for good.

Distraught by his failure to save his own wife from her condition, Bardon fell into a near suicidal Depression. Her withdrew from his social life and retreated further into himself then ever before. It all nearly came to and end for him one day, when he stood on top of a cliff and contemplated just throwing himself off into the poisonous fog below. At that moment he noticed a small bird, injured on the side of a rock. It had died just a few moments ago from blood loss, but Bardon picked it up and used his powers to force it's heart to beat again. When the bird began to breath again and flap it's wings Bardon was filled with hope, and a new idea filled his mind.

Bardon changed his position to work in the morgue, conducting experiments on reanimation. Tirelessly he worked on bringing body's back to life, extending their time of animation and rebuilding their motor skills. Unfortunately he was caught when one of his test subjects was discovered. The church was outraged at his experiments, banishing him from the hospital and almost threatening him with violence. But worse still was that the government heard of what he did, and started to consider him more 'useful' toward military interest. And 'acquiring' him had become much easier now that he was no longer under protection of the church.

With the threat of military officers taking him away, the brewing hostility between himself and the church, and his chance at bring his wife back slipping away, Bardon became desperate. When the soldiers came for him he threw himself into a rage, severely injuring them and escaping. He broke back into the hospital and took his wife's body, which he had preserved before hand, and fled the city.

He's left himself in hiding now, seeming to have disappeared from society all together. The only knowledge of where he is now, comes from rumors that circle the criminal underworld. Supposedly he's met a certain individual that has promised him help in his goal, provided he do a few little 'tasks' in return...

#, as written by Wake
It was late in the day when a man, wearing a heavy coat, hood, and scarf that covered his face, walked briskly down the streets. He drew some stares, partially because of his odd choice of attire considering the weather, and partially because of the very large suitcase he carried in his right hand. He checked behind him quickly to see if any followed him, before ducking into another alley and on to the next road. It had been four years since he'd last set foot in the city, but he wasn't about to believe for a second that Niamh had stopped looking for him.

After a few sharp turns he spotted the building he was looking for. 'The store of Knowledge' seemed like an odd and slightly redundant name for a book store, but he wasn't here to judge the owners naming sense. Making one last check behind him for any pursuers, he entered the store. "Excuse me." He called out, closing the door behind himself and setting his large suitcase down. "I'm looking for the shun brothers. I was told they owned this shop?"
