Age: 21

Gender: Male

Title: The Hollow Man

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Birthplace: California

Faceclaim: Nicolas Simoes




Appearance: Sephtis has been described as a man who is very handsome though he is quite humble (Or dismissive) of such claims. Sephtis has a strapping, well fit body which speaks of plenty of physical activity and compliments his 6’2 height. Sephtis used to have honey like skin tone but his skin has paled slightly since turning fifteen. Sephtis’ hair is ebony black and reaches down to his shoulders in a tied ponytail and is complemented with a short boxed beard. Typically his eyes are a dark brown that are often mistaken for black. However they sometimes appear pale when exerting his more special abilities.

Though he has a human body Sephtis’ has one unusual aspect that breaks the illusion. When wounded a black ichor pours from Sephtis’ wounds rather than crimson blood. The blood has mystic properties but by itself unaltered it acts like any blood like substance.

Sephtis typically wears a set of black tactical pants with a dark blue tunic and black combat boots. He includes a Police duty belt to keep his more important equipment at the ready. Sephtis wears a black cloak and cowl representing his powers and image. Around his neck Sephtis wears a Ankh, a symbol of life in the Egyptian culture an a contradiction to his nature.



Personality: Sephtis has been described as having the personality of a block of ice. While not cold to people or introverted Sephtis tends to act with a detached personality. Often when interacting Sephtis very rarely ever shows emotion and can appear cold to people as a result with the calm and impassive expression he mostly has. This does not mean Sephtis is emotionless, he just does not express them very often. Otherwise Sephtis is a kind and considerate person, though he express it in very unique ways. This extensive control of emotions means Sephtis controls his emotions rather than be controlled by them. However one emotion Sephtis does not know is what it means to love. Having never been loved the closest thing he can feel is fondness.

Sephtis is an intelligent man with a high respect for intelligence. He is by no means a genius but he does possess a high IQ. Sephtis is mind over matter person and prides strategy over brute force. Though he is not afraid tackle a situation head on he often uses his knowledge before hand or on the go before he takes action. This also means he has a no nonsense approach, if something needs to be done don’t dance around the subject and just do it.




Call: “Do you feel dead?”


Gift: - Night Mistress: Sephtis’ gift is a double bladed scythe which he wields with a deadly grace. The weapon is approximately seven feet in length with blades three to four feet long on either side facing in opposite directions. The Scythe can also shrink to the size of a small hand scythe for easy carrying when not in use. The blade’s mystical properties allow it to reap the soul of a person upon their death. Reaping a soul of a premature (Before old age sets in) extracts the life energy of the fallen and restores the vitality of the scythe’s owner as well as reaping the soul. The Scythe can also be called to the owner's outstretched hand from a distance so long as a direct line of sight is established with owner and scythe. This can also be used in a combative effect, allowing Sephtis to throw the scythe like a throwing weapon and recall it at will.

Above all the scythe cannot harm it’s owner, as the bond between the two insures that it cannot harm the one it has bonded to. If forced to attack it’s owner the scythe will forcibly stop short of striking it’s owner and from there no force in the universe, even divine, could force it any closer. Even if the owner were to directly handle the blades they would not cut the owner even if they forced their hands into the blade. In short, the scythe will never harm the one whom it gives it’s loyalty to. Though it is said when it comes time for the owner to die the scythe will personally reap it’s master’s soul and guide it safely to the afterlife in one final act of loyalty.


Card Image: A figure clothed in black robes holding a great scythe, his face is hidden within the hood and only his glowing white eyes are visible. He stands looking forebodingly upon the viewer as if waiting to come reap their soul.


Family archive?: Yes but there is a lot of missing information due to an accident.



Quote: The goal of all life is death.


Skills: Sephtis has been trained in various arts revolving around the scythe he was gifted with. He is able to spin and twirled his scythe around with deadly elegance and dance circles around unprepared foes while using the unusual attack vectors the scythe offers to get in the defenses of his opponents. Though he does have a fit body Sephtis’ real strength lies in his speed and skill, his ability to dart around and swing his blades with frightening speed. Sephtis compliments this speed with deft balance and acrobatics, allowing him to maneuver on and around the environment with few restrictions. Sephtis has training in taekwondo as a complement to his combative skills. He has also incorporated techniques of shaolin martial arts he learned from a fellow contestant.


Sephtis understanding of the human body and his training in combat first aid allows him to treat wounds and stabilize critically injured. On the flip side it also means he is very adept in using his knowledge of the human body to torture to great effect. Though it serves no purpose in combat Sephtis is a remarkably good cook.



Abilities: Sephtis is a manifestation of death itself and as such can control it on multiple levels. With practiced ease he can raise and control the dead with on command and use them to fight his foes. He can alter the physiology of dead bodies to create more deadly undead creatures, making them faster and stronger, though this typically comes at a cost to the body in other areas. Also while capable of cutting through lesser beings with ease Sephtis has found it very difficult for his creations to combat strong beings such as himself.

This connection with raising the dead also offers him a few skills most wouldn’t expect, such as the ability to read the memories of recently deceased, though the memories degrade the longer the person has been dead thus making them less clear or completely lost over time. Sephtis can force his own mind onto an undead and manually control them. Doing so allows him to see through their eyes as if they were his own. However he is unable to control more than one at a time and doing so turns his own eyes a milky pale white while controlling an undead. Sephtis’ command over the undead also means he is typically ignored by undead not under his command, allowing him to pass through them without fear of attack.

Sephtis can actively project the feelings of a painful death in others by touching them, even though they are not actually dying the target will feel the excruciating pain of one of the most painful ways to die. Sephtis typically projects a minor aura of cold foreboding, as if the cold hand of death has come to take those who feel it.

Sephtis can feel when someone close by is about to die, regardless of the method of their death. However the ability is not very precise and can only determine a general death event and not a precise selection. Through meditation and sheer concentration Sephtis can, if he is willing, contact his patron named Anubis and communicate with the god like being of the dead.



Likes: Calm nights, silence, Bread, ice cream, philosophy, Kai, “reaping souls”, meditating, Bee Gee’s, Anime/Manga, sci-fi, gambling


Dislikes: Recklessness, stupid comedy, being denied his “reapings”, cannibalism, desecrators of the dead, lichs, losing control, people touching his scythe without permission.


Weakness:

Sephtis has natural strength but his training is based around skill and speed, as such he can’t go head to head with power fighters and even one hit risks putting him in a dangerous position.

Sephtis rarely loses control of himself but should his emotions be forced out of him he has been known to come unhinged from the overload of experiencing so many emotions at once. Thus becoming a danger to the person in question as well as everyone else in the nearby vicinity.

Invintory:

Ipod
Smart Phone
Small bag of dice and cards (Including a loaded die)
Bread rolls
Cooking spices
Blue Glowsticks





History: From birth Sephtis Reaver had the cold aura of death hanging over him. Many saw this as a bad omen but for his family they knew better and realized what it meant. For the Reaver family had been one of the longest lines of participants in the games of the gods. So from day one Sephtis’ life was pre planned for him to allow him as many advantages in the coming game. Growing up Sephtis was trained regularly, sometimes very intensely, in many combat arts and educated heavily in what knowledge the family had gathered about the prior games. Sephtis was also required to attend school for a proper education for future prosperity. However Sephtis did not have a normal childhood and as a result of his very nature friends did not come easy for him. This lead to him becoming very controlling of his emotion at a young age, which even further isolated him among others. It did not help when Sephtis made contact with his patron, a lord of the dead Sephtis c knew as Anubis. Sephtis did make one friend though, a child who was also destined for the god games named Kai Gable. Surprisingly the two did not have any sense of rivalry against each other for one reason or another. Despite their radical personality differences the two were the closest of friends they could be with each other.

Over the years the two would work together to hone their skills in preparation for the upcoming games. The rules may have stated there could be only one winner, but it didn’t say they couldn’t work together to eliminate the others first. So the two trained together and helped each other hone their set of skills. Septhis helped Kai hone his emotions and gave him access to the family archive while Kai taught Septhis a wider range of combative and social skills. Though they both had their share of problems at times, such as when Kai accidentally burned half of the Rever family archive. Nevertheless the two made significant progress in their training and when the time came they were among the most prepared. However the apocalypse claimed lives from both of their families, Kai lost his father and sister while Septhis his mother and grandfather. They were able to get the rest of their family and friends to a place where people were being evacuated, but they knew they had to remain.

It was days later after remaining in the their home city of San Francisco the two felt themselves being called. By whom the two did not know but what was known was the game had long since begun. Knowing the battle had begun, the two in Kai’s Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
set off for first and maybe their last meeting with the other contestants.
