0 · 161 views · located in Darkday falls

a character in “Lord Death and the Peasant”, as played by TheSummerian

Description

Name: Hector (Though this name is fake and as with most practitioners of magic his true title is a closely guarded secret)

Age: 28

Height:6,1

Build: Average though fit.

Weight: 82kg

Hair: Brown and cut to a medium length.

Eyes: Brown with occult markings somehow tattooed into the whites.

Description Hector does not cut a very imposing figure at first glance being of average height being of average height weight and build. However with a closer look one may discern that his entire body is tattooed with arcane symbols covering his entire surface and the markings do not end there - the whites of Hectors eyes are also marked and his teeth are carved with runes and glyphs not to mention his tongue which can not longer taste for the ink bored through its surface. Hector wears (magical) rings on all of his fingers and has both ears pierced with stones that grant the wearer magical power. Over this Hector wears his heavy all encompassing plate armour forged from an alloy comprising of many metals with eldritch properties. The armour is also heavily engraves and its surface is covered in sigils and pentagrams which are then plastered over with spell tags and amulets. Hectors helmet is specially designed so that it can mesh with the top of the potion vials he uses and suck the contents out into his mouth without having to remove the helmet and offers him protection from violent flashes that are common in his work with a visor that is made of a strange violet jewel.

Personality

Hector is a driven individual with not much tolerance for those who do not respect his arts. He is a avid student and is forever driven to learning more and more even at the cost of his own safety. He also has the problem of blaming himself harshly when things go wrong. Hector has very little interest in sexual relationships that do not further his desire for power and will only take notice of a truly remarkable human woman as he has tasted the fruits of those from the infernal and fey species. At his best Hector is intelligent , resourceful and a boon to those in need of magical aid at his worst he is cold, distant and filled with a bitter hatred for those who have wronged him.

Equipment

Ritualists Blade: A 6 foot long great sword with a spine jutting from the tip with which Hector draws his occult designs forged from a special alloy mixture concocted by hector himself for its esoteric properties.

Ritualists Armour : A suit of heavy plate armour that Hector is almost always found wearing it is covered in runes and magic symbols offering a layer of occult protection and then plastered with talismans and charms to provide yet another. These like Hectors tattoos range from offensive to defensive to utility depending on what they are and can have numerous effects. The symbols and charms may on their own not be too powerful or battle changing but together they form a formidable force. The armour’s helmet is fitted with a gemstone visor that nulls flashes and a mechanism on its mouth that allows for potion quaffing while still wearing a helmet. In the armours right gauntlet there is an inbuilt flack cannon that can pop out with a certain motion from Hector - this is filled with a mixture of iron, silver , salt, wolfs-bane and numerous other things that are harmful to supernatural beings though it being a makeshift blunderbuss can prove painful to those of a more mundane nature as well. Hectors left hand gauntlet can eject spikes with which to punch and gorge with that can be retracted with the same machinery.

Potions and Ritual Components: Hector armor is specially designed to carry alchemic potions with a variety of effects and has been modified to ensure that the compartments absorb the shock of combat blows without the flasks breaking to much(A hit from a troll could still prove problematic however). Hector also keeps ingredients such as incense and blood needed to perform his rituals and carry out his summoning's.

Abilities:

Ritualism: Hector knows the rituals for summoning and beseeching many powers and entities. These however take a certain amount of time and if in combat he tends to utilize Ulysses as a distraction while he completes the necessary mantras and placation's.

Alchemy: Hectors path had lead him to become a quite capable alchemist and he is constantly trying out new formulas - which he tests both on himself and others. This has also helped him the crafting of his armor and weapon and the understanding of inherent properties in metals and gems.

Wizardry: Having no natural talent for magic (IE he cannot bring up a fireball by just wanting it to happen) Hector set about learning spells. These are mostly vocal and may require accompanying hand and body motions. Unlike natural magic users they do not cast instantly and must first be fully recited. Hector uses the form of magic that any one with some intelligence and time may come to learn - though the knowledge may come at a price.

Basic swordsmanship: Hector is trained to the level of a basic soldier - but would have to utilize both spells and potions to have a chance to keep up with a blades-master. he knows next to nothing about practical martial arts though has a good understanding of chi and chakra.

Mount:

Ulysses the wyvern: Ulysses is a 15 foot wyvern with a 30 meter wingspan. He is 9 years old and rather snake like being able to spit poison/acid and breath green fire. He like all wyvern’s has not front legs and walks around on his hind ones. Ulysses is well trained though should be kept out of range of children and dogs (he does not like to eat cats much for some reason). Ulysses is fitted with special saddlebags that carry Hectors ritual components that he can not fit into his armour.

History

As a boy Hector was the son of the local Librarian in his small town and earned his keep as assistant to a blacksmith forging swords, armor and less glamorous things like horseshoes and farm equipment. He was always an attentive student and loved nothing more than reading about far away lands and fantastic places. His happiness was crushed however at the age of 15 when two sorcerers (those who in Hectors world were born with innate magical talent) leveled his village with their magical duel killing his father and leaving his mother as a cripple. Looking after his broken mother for 6 months until she passed away Hectors hate for those who were born with the powers of magic began to grow and grow. Hector realized that as he was however he had no chance of fighting back against those who could bring forth fire and lightning on a whim. And so Hector began to study. He brought his first grimoire of an old peddler who desired the money to pay for his opium addiction and Hectors path was set. He would learn magic the hard way - through hours of studying spell books and ancient scrolls, he would carve symbols of arcane might into his flesh and drape himself in so many talismans that none may harm him or at least that was the plan. Hector took to this new study well devouring the knowledge at an alarming rate and signing up with local militia in order to receive training with the sword and a steady income with which to purchase his wizardly wares. Soon Hector knew incantations to crack the earth and speak to the four winds. He learned the wonders of alchemy and the powers inherent in metal and gems and most importantly he discovered the power of rituals - specifically ones that allowed contact with great spirits , demons and even gods...

After 2 years Hector left the militia and headed off into the mountains to find himself a companion. A wyrven that is. Wyrven's were closely related to dragons but much more common and tended to be smaller in size having no front legs and being bipedal. Wyrven's were a heavily valued mount as knights had witnessed large swarms taking on and even sometimes defeating their greater dragonic cousins. The trip to the wyrven;s next was perilous and Hector almost lost his life several times but in the end it payed off as Hector left the peaks with a egg close to hatching. Three weeks later Ulysses was born and with heavy training Hector had found himself both a mount and carrier for his magical and academical equipment.

By the age of 28 Hector felt that he was ready to begin his journey into the world and set off to bring those who had killed his parents to a gruesome end while thirsting for more and more arcane knowledge and secrets.

So begins...
