Description

Pluvius is a gnarled-looking old man, with an aquiline and thin lips, constantly curved up in a genial smile. He is missing his upper left arm and hand, as well as his right hand. The man wears a tattered, blue robe which shifts with his fluid gait. His eyes, usually closed in his smile, are a light blue that shine when exposed, rippling as if with the movements of water. He walks barefoot.

Abilities
Pluvius is a trained naturopath and aquamancer. The prior lends him a broad knowledge of natural poisons and cures, which he uses to his own ends; the latter allows him control over the water in the atmosphere, and water in any state. To use his active abilities, he must either speak the incantation (in Latin), or wait three seconds as charge time. His aquamantic abilities are:

- Wall of Fog: A thick fog covers him and his surroundings up to ten feet for five seconds, concealing anything covered.
- Wall of Steam: Superheated steam surrounds him at a distance of two feet away, the perimeter of the steam extending another five feet.
- Wall of Ice: For fifteen seconds, Pluvius extends a barrier of ice two feet thick around his person.
- Dome of Ice: For ten seconds, the barrier covers his entire body.
- Suspended River: Pluvius sends a bullet-speed burst of water at his target, which he can manipulate for five seconds.
- Ice Stalagmite: Water drips from a location of Pluvius' choosing, rapidly forming a stalagmite of ice.
- Spear of Ice: The tip of Pluvius' Asclepian staff forms a ten-inch long spear-tip of ice.
- Claris Aquis: A pool of water forms at a location of Pluvius' choosing, with a high refractory rate that magnifies light that hits the pool. Those within sight of it, and who do not close their eyes, will be blinded, including Pluvius.
- Robur Aquus: At a point of dangerous contact, Pluvius may briefly send up a superdense wall of water surrounding the intended contact for five seconds.
- Aqua Celerita (Passive): Pluvius' mastery of water has led him to move through flow at barely sub-sonic speeds in short bursts when not using active abilities, or simply move with an unnatural fluidity at a somewhat-faster-than-normal pace, tied to his current physical condition. (Hence, if he has no leg, it won't work that well. He cannot do flips and acrobatics.)
- Flow Sense (Passive): Pluvius is able to feel movement and disruption in his environment as if they caused ripples within it.
- Auric Control (Passive): Pluvius is able to, at the cost of his use of active abilities for the time, manipulate his aura and work on penetrating other auras.
- Audience At the Seat of Heaven: Difficult to maneuver, Pluvius spreads a salve of Raptor Vitae onto the person, infused with the water of his will, forming a connection between that person and him.
- Takeover of the Seat of Heaven: A draining move by which Pluvius augments the will of a person to his own.
(Note: Both abilities involving the Seat of Heaven will render Pluvius' active abilities useless for a day if they fail; the latter will render them useless for a day even if it succeeds.)

Though quick, Pluvius is not trained any any martial art, nor is he very strong. At the same time, he may only use one ability at a time, or, at a cost of fifteen seconds until next ability is used, use two in rapid conjunction.

History

Background History

Pluvius was born 186 years ago on the outskirts of Pisa, Italy. His family was killed in a house fire when he was six years of age, and he was left orphaned. Pluvius, while stealing to survive in the streets of Pisa, learned the ins and outs of the darker sides of human exchange, quickly becoming a clever negotiator and manipulator through necessity and his own natural wit. While stealing some grain from a merchant, Pluvius ran into the Grandmaster Giovanni, of the Aqua Arcana de Pisa. While studying at the school, he became romantically involved with a young woman, whom he engaged. She was murdered due to his connection to the school of Aquamancers, and Pluvius began his steady descent into madness, viewing the murder not as a direct consequence of his actions, but a result of an insidious game all humans played against each other. Pluvius deduced this was either won through luck or skill, and as he possessed not luck, he decided to build his skills.

At the end of his Aquamantic schooling, Pluvius discarded of all members of the Aqua Arcana, and began to work on his own to learn more about the skill of aquamancy. Several treatises by Pluvius still exist in aquamantic schools on the concept of 'Flow' - the aquamantic expression of space-time, and 'aqua celerita' - the 'quick water' technique developed by a mastery of one's will over water extending into the practitioner's motions, allowing the person to move through the Flow effortlessly. Pluvius had also written a theoretical essay toward the end of his tutelage, 'On the Nature of Tributarian Will', describing the counter-theory that each individual person was a tributary in Flow, and could learn to navigate through it by achieving mastery over oneself.

While travelling, about 142 years ago, Pluvius stumbled upon a village where the inhabitants were infected by a parasite that consumed and spread a 'rot' through the nervous system. After observing a Naturopathy master cure them, Pluvius himself decided to request the position as apprentice. After four years, Pluvius stumbled upon a theory regarding the connection of auric networks via the seventh seat of the auric network. Pluvius attempted this theory on his master, and failed; his master died, and Pluvius assumed the mantle, but continued to travel.

Recent History

Quite by accident, Pluvius became involved in a game with the Dragons of Time, and ended up taking over one's Seat of Heaven. Yosei inhabited his mind, only able to express herself through Pluvius if the latter felt he was in extreme peril or stress. Over the course of the game, Pluvius lost his right hand, upper left arm, and left hand, during altercations with the dragon, Jugan. Pluvius ultimately lost this game after Yosei returned her state to that of an unknowing oblivion, only to have it stolen back after his second confrontation with Jugan. In exchange for surgery on his arms, a young woman, Terraa, has requested he bring the soul of a virgin, of his age (168) or higher, to her. Pluvius, seeking to culminate this game, is searching for an individual who can either supply and teach him of, or simply teach him of, neural-mechanical connective robotics. He is also working on manipulating a young woman, Regina, hoping to cultivate her as a tool for his own use.
