"If you have no business with me, get out of my sight!"

a character in “Let's take over the world!”, as played by The Soul one

Description

Name: Charnel

Nickname: Deathmaster

Age: 380

Gender: Was male.

Race: Lich, a skeletal being that was originally designed for eternal life, but a side effect was losing one's sense of humanity. A fairly easy to find ritual, but great power is needed in order to use, and most die before the ritual is complete. Attempts at making the ritual without the side effect has only led the creation of ghosts.

Personality: Once upon a time, Charnel wasn't quite so horrid and distasteful. In fact, he was quite nice. But when his family was slaughtered in front of him, he grew dark, angry, evil. He hates the living, but has come to a decision, that the living must rule this world, but not while it is in so much chaos. Order must be placed before he can truly begin to learn who he was again. He will follow any order given to him, no matter what a terrible deed, if he sees that it will assist in that goal. He is a horrible person, who has no sense of morals, nor does he see life as having any form of value, although he sees value of those in power or those with ambition.

Bio: Long ago, as Charnel is willing to tell, lived a man and his family. He had a wife and two kids. They lived in the wilderness, away from civilization or even the wilderness, in a place where, if you knew what to do, nature would let you live with it. Of course, that ended when a group of settlers came. The took his land, and forced him and his family to settle with them. They took his knowledge of the surrounding area and abused it, taking all the resources and using them to make a city. Charnel, though that wasn't his name at the time, did nothing to stop them, for he thought that that was an improvement. He studied magic, finding ice magic much easier for him then the rest, and they lived...

Until an army of demons descended upon them, destroying everything and capturing many, including Charnel and one of his sons. Charnel was forced to continue his learning of ice magic and to take up necromancy, otherwise they would kill his son. Charnel did as they told, biding his time until he finally had enough power to make himself a lich. He thought the transformation would not effect his mind, but it did. It made him into the monster he is today, heartless and cruel. Ignoring their threats against his son, Charnel slaughtered the demons, finally freezing his son to death after they were defeated. Charnel then hid behind the curtains of history, using others as figureheads as he controls everything from the back.

He came under Yuki's command a good eight years ago, where he has discovered him to be more ambitious and foolhardy then he originally thought. Instead of abandoning him as his mind told him to do, he stayed, intrigued at the young king's intellect and objective. He believe's that the world should be under one rule, but not his, and that he intends to ensure that he will survive until the ends of time, which, in the current state of the world, may be hard to accomplish. He sees himself as his adviser, but as he doesn't have morals, he is often pointing out the 'errors' in his ways, such as helping a small group of farmers. He sees small acts like that a waste of resources, and attempts to refuse to assist in such situations, although will do so grudgingly if commanded. He finds Yuki's eventual mental instability disturbing, as his loss would mean that he would have to find another person with similar ambition, and tries to keep him from using magic as much as possible.

In-depth look at your weaponry:

Ice spike:
A large pillar of ice protrudes from the ground, impaling anyone who was unfortunate enough to be standing there.

Raise Dead:
Brings back a dead body back to life to fight. Is not easily killed, but isn't that hurtful either. More of a shield or distraction then anything. They fight as if they were still alive, though they could survive losing their heads. They die when they suffer a lot of physical damage, and losing several limbs seems to be the most effective way to kill them. When killed, disintegrates to ash. Can create one in a few minutes, and can control up to twenty of them.

Raise Monstrosity:
Turns a corpse into a true horror. Is incredibly hard to kill, yet is very dangerous. Tentacles and mouths grow across the body, which also grows in size. Is much faster and stronger then it looks. They fight in a horrendous fashion, grabbing and mauling foes as they come, ripping them apart, and stopping to devour bodies even in the midst of battle. They can take a massive amount of punishment before dying, as they grow much tougher. A sword will have trouble cutting though a bone three inches thick. They can die, however, if they take about as much structural damage similar to their smaller cousins. (losing about forty percent structural integrity causes death for both.) Making one takes several hours. Disintegrates to nothing on death. Can only control up to three at a time.

(note: Charnel controls his undead through the use of extending his phylactery's power through him allowing him to possess the bodies. This indicates that he actually doesn't control them directly, more like gets them to get up and follow his orders, like getting a trained dog to do as you wish. Anyone wishing for specifics will be disappointed, as Charnel will tell them nothing, although those he trusts will be informed that he doesn't even know that much about it either. He says that it's similar to a man's relationship with his dog. The dog will do as the dog was trained to do, which, in this case, is fight and fetch. If the man gets trapped, the dog will stay with him or go and seek help. Charnel's lack of humanity makes this very confusing for him. This indicates that he uses his humanity to control the undead, which is rather strange, as they follow whatever horrible orders that Charnel gives them. As such, Charnel doesn't have to concentration, nor does he lose anything from making an undead being, although he found a limit that, no matter how hard he tries, cannot break. Whenever he makes a new undead, the first one he made dies.)

Ice Wall:
More of a knee-jerk reaction then anything, makes an 8 by 4 ft. wall of ice within thirty feet away. Used for cover and to buy time to run/get one's thoughts together.

Spectral Spear:
Charnel carries a spectral spear that he can throw. When it hits something, it quickly teleports back to him. He uses it for blocking mostly in melee.

Apperance (when not hiding in a robe):
Image

Charnel has been under Yuki's command for quite a while now, although he hasn't really done much to truly show his tactical abilities.

Note: Charnel, being a lich, has a phylactery, which holds his soul. It is a small glass orb the size of a small marble, which he keeps in a box hidden in his room at the top of his tall thin tower. A phylactery works by putting one's soul into physical form, usually a small crystal-like object, where it then controls a single body similar to a puppet, although in a more controlled fashion. Should he die, it will glow brightly, open the box, and begin creating him again. First it makes his skull, which, as soon as it is done, will allow him to speak. It then works it's way down his body until he is finished, where he 'spits' out the phylactery, and probably puts it back where it was before. This process takes a little over a week to finish.

So begins...

SKURGE:

As Skurge listened to Aria's answer, also noting in his head the name of Kor, he merely blinked in somewhat greater confusion to her simple short explanation, his forehead wrinkling in effort to process the information he was just told. His entire face then contorted in immense concentration to reply with the conclusion; "Skurge don't get it, but okay then dragon-girl.", giving a nonchalant shrug.

The goblin then quickly diverted his attention in surprise as the demon held out a number of throwing stars towards him. He eyed them in suspicion at first, staring down the strange weapon that was new to his eyes, before warily lifting one up to his face, and then proceeding to bite a big chunk of it, leaving a small triangular fragment of metal in his hand, which he then also flicked into his maw. As continued to chew the metal star with constantly crunching noise with each bite until he swallowed his latest snack. He grinned in excited glee as he stared at his right arm, as if a miracle would occur soon, until he then changed his expression to bafflement, and then to frustration.

"Silly demon-man! These metal-stars are throwing weapons aren't they? Skurge can't use throwing weapons properly! Metal-stars won't work with Skurge's belly right! No throwing weapons for Skurge anymore! Skurge will show why Skurge don't need them!", the vertically-challenged maniac ranted, then grabbing the stars from Yuki's hand and tossing one into the castle floor. He suddenly then stared at his right forearm and hand which suddenly bulged with purple veins before inexplicably mutating into a hammer of bone, to which he followed up with smashing the grounded throwing star with said hammer, with a smug grin. He then reverted his arm to normal and looked around for approval at his new companions, though his eyes narrowed in suspicion when he saw Alauniira scuttle back into the hall. Especially with a faint smell of some type of elf around her.

AIDEN


A shiver traveled down Aiden's back for a moment, something irking at her senses but then just disappeared.
How strange.....
She watched as the spider woman left, Yuki giving Skurge the throuwing stars and the woman then coming back. Something was off about her scent but Aiden payed no mind as she rummaged through her satchel. She didnt know what these Goblins possessed with them so just in case Aiden took out an enchanted bracelet she had found on her journey's. The bracelet acts as a god luck charm in a way, it makes Aiden feel safe even if all it does is lessen her scent.

"Excuse me my Lord but dont you think we should get going now?" Aiden asked politely, eager to start.

Dasin


She gazed at Skurge in some amusement. She certainly hadn't thought the little goblin would have had that little trick up his sleeve. But it was very interesting. Stepping over to Charnel, Dasin picked up the other missive by the necromancer. "I'll start now Aidan, it's important to understand what we all will be doing" she explained briefly, understanding the young dragon's impatience as she felt the same herself.

"I'll start with the villager's request, we received word from the village nearby, no doubt some of you may have passed through. They sent a messenger up to the castle to request our help. The messenger explained that they had a Hob Goblin problem near the town."She cleared her throat and continued. "Now often Hob Goblins wouldn't be an issue for the village, there are many capable fighters to defend the town, however they are uneasy about the presence of this particular clan. They detailed that they felt the Goblins were stronger somehow, a little smarter and had been able to use increasing amounts of magic. Dasin paused, goblins using magic was usually unheard of, one generally had to have some sort of control for the magic to be any good or of notice, occasionally one curious goblin might pick up a magic staff and cause havoc happily for a few days- point stick, fire happens seemed to be a rare gift for the race- until it was put down. But the messenger had been quite certain that one or two of the creatures were using magic themselves.

"We've been asked to go take a look. In return the village will provide us we a few young fighters, access to trading and a pre-warning runner if trouble seems to be coming our way. It would be imperative we complete this job, not having to worry about the village as enemies and having done them a good favor will only help us in the long run. Now as we all know, Hob Goblins are a tricky sort, they tend to stick in big groups, and for all their stupidity are excellent at making three things; traps, tunnels and explosives. You'll go to the village and get more information there." Dasin placed down the scrap of paper. The goblin mission would certainly take a great deal of observation and stamina. The little bastards seemed to have a abundance of each other and like nothing better than catching live prey in which to torture for fun or eat, mostly both. It was strange how the creatures had become such a threat, certainly numbers were always worrying, but intelligent magic using goblins? It was a terrifying thought. Dasin noted that the possibility that the goblins had been interfered with in some way to be very great, much like she suspected Skurge had been; after all, a magic transforming arm was generally not evolved.

Putting aside her thoughts, she maintained her current clarification "The second has been given to us by a Water Magi this morning. Something of high value was stolen from him by another Magi. He details that any measure of use can be exploited to retrieve this item. He doesn't explain much in the message but he has agreed to meet with us and explain further should we accept. He says he can get us into the Magi's place of residence without being detected but cannot help from there since he would be using all his magical prowess just to do so. In return the Water magi explains we can take anything we deem of value from the tower and he would join our cause. The lack of detail about the thief himself and what exactly had been stolen was a little unnerving for Dasin but the benefits way outweighed the risks, and it was time they started taking risks.

I suggest that Aidan travels with Yuki to the village, the both of you should be more than enough for the Hob's but we'll send two more with you for back up. I'll attend to the Magi, I think the Lady Drider would be most useful but we shall need two others. Any questions? she concluded.

((Okay guys, head to the OOC and discuss what missions you want, I'll be starting these up tomorrow,hopefully sooner if everyone gets on, if you can't decide I'll put you into groups.))

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Yuki


The thoughts of dodging the Hob's homemade and throw-able explosives seemed to tickle the Demon Lord's fancy. As did their current goblin guest. Skurge greatly charmed Yuki into liking him almost immediately. "Hm, if you come with me I'll make sure Skurge gets good weapons to have in his belly" he regaled to the miniature beast grinning at him like a child who had just gotten away with something naughty.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Magi- Frenus Tot


He grumbled as he looked at the door in front of him, the demon on the other side was certainly insolent. But he wouldn't be for long, oh no. It was nearing the end of the day and then there would only be two days left until his master took the boy and he would receive his reward. He giggles at the thought, there would be no stopping Tot in 48 hours time. And after all, what could go wrong in that small amount of time?

Frenus looked down at the bucket of water in his hand, he had been told to look after the little demon and throwing a bucket of water over Kaito seemed like a generour thing to do. The smell had been getting to the Magi. Grinning to himself he opened the lock and stepped inside.

The Magi- Frenus Tot


He had a moment of pure glee when tossing the water over the boy which was quickly followed by pure fear when there was a moment that he thought the wall may give way under the demon's fury. Throwing down the bucket the Magi shivered, relieved that he wouldn't have to try and recapture the boy.

"Tch, you think you know it all don't you?" he sneered "You'll know true fear when my master comes to collect you in two days time". Frenus gave one last glance at the cage and stormed quickly out of the room, it was only a few hours til morning, and while he doubted he would sleep with the adrenaline still coursing threw his veins he must a least try.

-------------------------------------------------------

Dasin


Dasin's eyes slid over to the night sky, they would only have a few hours until dawn and they would all need to be refreshed for their journeys. "We all have a tough day tomorrow, I suggest we get some rest, we can figure out who goes where in the morning, for now Hayato, Charnel, the Lady Drider and I shall prepare for the Magi's request. I'll ask him to meet us outside when first light breaks. Yuki, you get ready to take Kor, Skurge and Aidan with you. Her hand when up to her head, a dull throb in he mind was forming. She felt as if she had used all her energy and certainly needed the rest.

You'll find quarters in the tower to the left, keep walking down the hallway you'll find a red door to your right. There are plenty unused rooms you can use for rest. The tower to the left of the hallway, with the green door is out of bounds, as are my quarters which are right beside that. The tower across the garden is also out of bounds, it belongs to Charnel. We shall meet outside the front gate when day begins. she concluded, taking up her scythe that had been resting on the table and heading to her room without another word. The days events seemed to have gotten to her and Dasin was extremely tired. Reaching her own room she softly closed the door behind her. The room had at first been a shambles when they had first arrived at the fortress, the transformation had been marked. Where windows had been missing now stood patterned glass, the cracked floor covered now in wood. Her sleeping pallet had only two years ago become a bed- a gift from a skilled woodman they had saved out in the forest. Smiling to herself she let herself fall onto the feathery covering of the bed and closed her eyes. Sleep came easily, something that would have surprised her if she had been able to recognize the fact. And for the first time in a long time, Dasin Frost slept without dreams.

----------------------------------------------------------
Yuki


Yuki nodded along with Dasin's suggestion to get some rest. She hadn't mentioned anything about Hayato though, it was unlike her to forget something like that, she must have been exhausted. "Hayato, you may take your old room if you'd like. It hasn't been touched since you left" he explained to his old solider. Standing up he gave and glancing smile to, Skurge, Kor and Aidan. "I shall see you all in the morning" he said cheerfully making his own way to his tower.

Alauniira



The drider watched as everyone seemed rather suspicious of her when she returned to the hall--she did not care. Her kind was reviled and thought to be nothing but murderers and thieves anyway, so that sort of reaction did not faze her at all. She spied the dragon-woman playing with some sort of jewelry in a bag, but for the most part it seemed almost as if everyone was about ready to give up for the night.

The horned woman, however, thought it necessary to go over the details of two missions that were apparently of the utmost importance. The first involved the culling of a horde of goblins that seemingly developed the ability to use magic. While the villagers were rather terrified by the idea of magic-wielding goblins, the drider was sure that even she might be able to take them all on if given the chance. It would take a rather long time to sneak up on them all and kill them one by one, but she would definitely be able to get the drop on them before they noticed what was going on--

The second mission, however, was one that involved things that she was much better suited for--infiltration. Some mage had some important object stolen from him, as they were known for. If they did not want anything stolen from them, then they shouldn't be hiding like hermits away from the world enraptured in their studies and their little secrets. They and their artifacts were rather valuable, especially as high-profile targets--rival magi, jealous of someone else's research and their collection of trinkets, occasionally sought out assassins to deal with one another.

"I suggest that Aidan travels with Yuki to the village, the both of you should be more than enough for the Hob's but we'll send two more with you for back up." The horned woman turned back toward the others in the group. "I'll attend to the Magi. I think the Lady Drider would be most useful, but we shall need two others. Any questions?"

Other than the fact that Dasin had assumed that she would be automatically joined at the hip with her--well, hip-to-abdomen--she had no questions that needed to be answered at this particular time. Her mind was already thinking about how to approach this situation, though. So many possibilities, but the lack of detail was rather annoying. At least the daggers she had received from Ra'ditzz would be of use almost immediately--either the magi would be intrigued by such weaponry or she would have the opportunity to slaughter them if they did anything suspicious.

After this, Dasin instructed everyone to get some sleep. Perhaps the others might need some, but the darkness was where the drider thrived. Still, it had been a rather long journey, and it might be pertinent that she get some rest too--or perhaps a bit of food, that was always nice. Perhaps as a kindness, she would leave the guards of this castle untouched... for now...

As Yuki turned away from the group after bidding them a good evening, the drider followed the others as they made their way toward the living quarters. When she was sure that she could get away, however, she skittered back toward the main hall and down toward the demon lord's quarters. She caught him almost as he was rounding the corners every single time, and she was sure that he could sense her presence behind her despite her silent footfalls--demonic magic seemed all-too-powerful at times for her; then again, he was a demon...

Either way, she would wait until she knew the two of them would be alone to ask the questions on her mind--why exactly would a demon lord go against the nature of the world around him and try to impose a sense of order onto a world of chaos? How could a volatile creature such as him want to try and go against his own nature? This was a rather intriguing concept for the drider; hopefully he would be willing to answer in case she had the chance to ask... If not, at least he might be able to point the way to a nearby village where the sudden death of a random civilian could feed her for the night.

SKURGE:

It was easy to tell which missions Skurge preferred. The obvious look of murderous glee at the prospect of murdering a band of his own kin seemed to make the little goblin ecstatic, crossing his finger sin hope, which grew all the more when Yuki promised him some new weaponry to which he almost began leaping up and down in delight. He turned towards the demon to give him an eager grin with a glint of bloodthirst in his eye, babbling energetically in reply; "Skurge is happy to hear that, oh yes Skurge is! Demon-man made a wise choice to give Skurge weapons, easier to kill poor ba****ds and b***hes and brats! With cutting and slicing, and maiming and crushing and smashing, and breaking and deacpi-, um decape-, er dicapi-, chopping heads off."

Before he could take up Yuki's offer however, Dasin decided to announce her decision on the groupings for the mission, and during noting the mentioned names of his new 'allies', it was to Skurge's liking. Not that he had any particular preference who he was paired with, but the fact the favoured mission had him among it's roster, to which the goblin cackled cheerfully before adding; "Skurge will make many dead of his kin! The corpses Skurge makes will make it difficult for world-takers to move around in!", already day-dreaming the glorious slaughter, as a number of the current company began leaving to catch their rest for tomorrow, including Yuki much to Skurge's chagrin as he quickly snapped out of his dreaming as he bid them good night. He then proceeded to pulling a middle finger at his new employer behind his back and grumbled under his breath as he wandered away, making a mental note to remind the demon lord to give him some form of weaponry before the mission.

As he wondered off to the unused quarters, Skurge thought to himself on his new companions. Or more specifically, the weaponry he was certain he could eat they had and which ones he could kill. In all honesty, he had near no idea how powerful or skilled any of them were, leaving little to go by, but thought the minotaur woman, the lady drider, and Hayato the odd human were a good start as any. So he started thinking about weapons over opponents, adding to his annoyance that he was unable to imagine a battle between themselves. There was unfortunately a number of the team members which he had no idea if they were out of the question or not of stealing weaponry from, not because it would cause strife, but because he was uncertain if they were enchanted. Skurge had wonderfully useful nose, it strangely could tell if something had magic on it as magic had a distinct smell to him, but a number of scents seemed to be blocked out by Aiden who was covered in enchanted gear, and Charnel, who reeked of the stuff, as well as death of course. Weaponry which he took an interest in were Kor's scimitar, Dasin's scythe, and possibly Yuki's katana and Hayato's bizarre combination weapon, though he had no idea if any or all were enchanted. Skurge merely shrugged to himself as he wondered into an empty room before leaping onto the surprisingly comfortable bed and murmuring to himself before he dozed off; "Skurge will kill ugly-idiots eventually anyways.""
