DarkHand

Date: 2008-02-26 15:20 EST
Name: Khoss, DarkHand of Azalin Rex, Crown Prince of Darkon, Lord General of the Grim Legions

Age: unknown

Race: Caliban

Gender: Male

Height: 7'2"

Weight: 350 lbs.

Hair: long, grey-black, braided into a pony tail

Eyes: bloodshot, with slight orange undertones, with black almond shaped pupils, or glowing green

Place of Origin: Born in Darkon, while it was still a domain of Ravenloft, grew up on the streets of Il Aluk, the one time capital of Darkon

Profession: Military commander, Necromancer-Warlord, Torturer of Innocents and Damned ones alike

Appearance: A tall and dark being, Death itself in half-dead flesh, green with motled grey, cold to the touch, a hollow, meancing voice, a cruel and soulness heart this one has. Wears armor, thats black as night, adorned with Death motiffs, is bladed as well and has chains attached to it.

Gifts/Powers: He has power over the Undead, to create or raise such unnatural creatures, he can command the Mists of Darkon, and the Mistlorn within, lost spirits forever trapped. He can bring fear in mortals, cast magical spells, taught to him by Azalin Rex himself. Mainly Necromantic, Illusion, Cold-Based magics and fire-based spells, as well as summoning spells. He can see into the past and the future, a gift of his Vistani blood, can divine fortures from the Tarokka Deck, the Tarot Cards of the Vistani. He can tell when day approaches, and has a feel for the seasons. He is also without a soul, thus no power of Death, no Death magic, nor the draining powers of Undead can harm him. Cold has little to no effect on him. Poisons and disease harm him not. He can also sense Necromantic magics, Undead, and Innocent souls, as will as Holy beings like Paladins and Angels. Can Regenerate wounds within his Mists, or if exposed to Negative Energies.

Curses upon your Person: Being born without a soul, being born twisted by foul magics when still in the womb of his mother, being damned for all his past sins of blood and death.

Weaknesses: Acid, Lightning, sound-based magics, Holy weapons, Holy Magics, Holy Water, cannot enter Holy Ground. Fire harms him somewhat, and of course massive damage to his body.

Moral outlook: Evil through and through, he has no Morality, Remose or other weak mortal emotions.

Possessions/Weapons: His Armor, His Estates and Fortresses, His Nightmare mount, Ciriniex; and his most prized possession, The Harvester of Souls, a powerful and evil artifact weapon, a black, 6' long double-sycthe that drips blood. It also screams a horrid scream when swung. Forged it seems from the Mists themselves, this weapon in Khoss's hand has killed countless Innocents and Damned alike. Those unfortunate to be slain by this dark weapon may raise as undead zombies, under the control of Khoss. He also has several Tarokka Decks, taken from Vistani matron seers that he has killed by his own hand. And by some twist, these decks work for him.

Friends/Relations: First and foremost is his Wife and Royal Consort, Dalia Blackthorne, a woman of great power, beauty and dark desires. Next are his allies, the cruel Dragon known as Greed, and The Death Ferrier, Rush; and of course his dark master, his Royal Majesty, Azalin Rex, Lord and Master of Darkon.

Enemies: Any good being, especially holy types, Strahd Von Zarovich(Ruler of Barovia, in Ravenloft), Sheriff Von Zarovich(an armor-clad servant of Strahd's, Khoss's chief Rival)

Past History: Khoss was born an orphen, his mother a half-vistani maid, who was forced by a rich nobleman of Lamordia(a nearby realm in Ravenloft) to have sexual relations with the cruel man. Khoss's mother escaped nearly nine months later into Darkon, and died having Khoss there, though he was born twisted as a Caliban.

Khoss has the right if he wanted to, to claim his Biological father's titles, but chooses not to. He was raised in an orphange in Il Aluk, for some years, before striking out onto the streets of that cruel city. He learned the business of crime, murder, theft, thuggery and hardship upon those streets. By 16 he joined Darkon's army, and over time gained recognition in battle against Darkon's enemies both external and Internal. For his service Khoss went through the ranks fast, and was awarded the Golden Skull, Darkon's highest military honor, twice.

Soon enough all of this, garnered the attention of Azalin Rex, who saw in Khoss, the son he should have had, and made him the Crown Prince of Darkon, by official adoption, and made Khoss Lord General of the Army. Where he gained much power and many estates. He also became the DarkHand of Azalin Rex, his chief and most powerful of servants.

Future Goals: Khoss lives to serve his King, and to see to the security of Darkon, to destory all threats to the Realm, and to spread the power of Darkon and Azalin's rule to all lands. He hates all living beings and wishes them dead, to be better slaves as undead.

Sandrine Black

Date: 2008-02-27 06:11 EST
Name: Sandrine Davenport Black? As that seems to be the new family name.

Age: Well technically she is 27 but she appears around 18 and will for all time.

Race: An abyssal angel?

Gender: Female

Height: 5?7?

Weight: 123

Hair: Dark Auburn

Eyes: Hazel but they turn green when she is hunting or feeling murderous. They have even appeared black on the rare occasion ? this is a new development though.

Place of Origin: A laboratory on Earth.

Profession: Brutally murdering evil men in the most painful ways possible and eating them.

Appearance:

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg32/RoseDeLioncourt/SandrineNakedcrop.jpg

The picture says it all but I?ll give you even more. She is very athletic and it shows. She tends to keep her body covered, her preferred clothing these days is all black. She always wears the same outfit, long sleeved shirt and snug pants. The outfit fits her like a glove and though it hides almost all her skin from view it is very flattering to her figure and seems to have been designed just for her. Also a pair of knee-high black steel toed boots, she is never seen without them. She rarely smiles and when she does it often has a hint of something sadistic behind it. She?s always been a bit of a tomboy and it shows. About the most feminine thing she does is paint her nails ? of course black to match her new style. Hell will freeze over most likely before you will see this girl in a dress. Her body has no visible scars or tattoos or piercings of any kind. Of course on occasion she will shift forms on you and this is what you will see.

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/Monsterphotoguy/DA.jpg

If that happens you can run but you won?t get far.

Gifts/Powers: Gifted with the ability to heal herself to an extent that is almost unheard of. This is not something that requires thought or effort, her body does it all by itself so she not even need be conscious ? it is inate. She has heightened senses in every respect. Even has some knack for reading surface thoughts and telepathy. Is immune to chemicals and poisons, she is not really affected by drugs of any kind. Has tactical telekinesis ? she can lift just about anything she touches. She has a natural resistance to most all enchantments and magic. Is incredibly agile and able to teleport (though with some limitations). When in her angel form she has an eight foot wing span, her wings of course are black too these days. These ?Wings of the Abyss? are fast and cannot be easily crippled as other wings may be. Has yet to determine whatever new gifts may be available to her since being infused with the energy of The Abyss.

Curses upon your Person: Define? curse. She does have a hint of madness to her these days. ::shrugs::

Moral outlook: Is she a good person? I?d say so. But she does have a fierce wicked temper, especially when it comes to the innocent or weak being abused. Especially when it?s a woman; for some reason she is especially quick to anger when there is abuse of a female involved. She is capable of killing in a most cruel fashion when she believes it to be the right thing. There are some cases she does not believe redemption is possible except through a painful death. She would not take a life though were it not inevitable that others would die and or suffer if she did not do it. She has a moral code and she sticks to it.

Possessions/Weapons: Her favorite weapon would be her claws. She has special one of a kind black adamantium claws that are retractable. The metal is bonded to her entire skeleton, just like Wolverine in the X-men. This stuff is a little different though. It used to be the regular old adamantium but her new God improved it for her. It is immune to magnetics, electric and magical forces. It is unbreakable, extremely lightweight and undetectable by metal detectors. Has a golden rosary her sister gave her.

Friends/Relations: Twin sister ? Rose Black. Rose's son, Sandrine's nephew - Darius Black. They are her only known family. Does the newphew's father and relatives count as family?

Past History: Sandrine is based from the Marvel Comics world. She was given life by this guy who was obsessed with creating the ultimate mutant. Her sister was raised by the man but Sandrine was discarded as the weaker of the two. She grew up bouncing around various foster homes. Her childhood was generally quite unhappy. Later in life Sandrine?s powers would enable her to undergo a process which infused adamantium to her bones. A short time later she would find herself in Rhy?Din. More recently The Abyss ended up taking her into his embrace in a promise to take away her pain, depression and guilt. If you wish to know more about this bargain you?ll have to check out Bob?s board ? Crimson Starlight. More about the twisted story of her life, it?s in the getting to know you section of the playables.

Future Goals: She intends to clean up Rhy?Din of other predators. This is sort of ironic given the joy she takes in her job. When her and Rose were made into angels though it was with very different purposes. Rose was given divine healing powers. Sandrine was to save the people by taking the lives of those that threatened them. And she will continue to do this.

DarkHand

Date: 2008-03-07 16:19 EST

King, and Lord of the Dead

Weight: with his skeletal nature, and his vestments or armor, it varies between 100 to 150 pounds.

Hair: wisps of grey-white upon his naked skull

Eyes: bright red burning pinpoints of light, full of hate and death

Place of Origin: Appearently Rhydin, but in its far and shrouded past.

Profession: Nercomancer-King, Absolute Ruler, Tyrant, Despoiler of the Innocent, and Drinker of Souls

Appearance: Skeletal being, cold and dark in presence, cruel, grim voice. He is the personification of power and corruption. He dresses in the finest of raiments, and his Iron Crown with its single red, oval cut ruby. He bears his own dark sceptre, which is in fact an artifact staff of terrible dark power. In battle wehn he cares to fight, which he has picked up on doing, since Darkon's return to its homeworld, he dons terrible black armor and a helm which covers his face, only his eyes can be seen.

Gifts/Powers: He is a powerful Necromancer, and Archmage in many other forms of magic. He can look into the minds of any living being that enters the land of Darkon and alter or steal their memories if he wishes. He can summon the mists of Darkon to seal his land from any force, and bring forth legions of undead to fight for him. He can draw the souls of those slain by his servants or by himself into the soil of Darkon, or out of Darkon if his wishes to. He is also a master of the Sword and of warfare, a planner of plots within plots bar none.

Curses upon your Person: Though free of Ravenloft, Azalin must keep Darkon free of going back to the Misty Realms of Ravenloft. He must have souls feed to the Mist-laden soil of Darkon. But these souls must not be souls of people born upon the soil of Darkon itself, or descendents of those power in Darkon. They must be the souls of outsiders, those not of Darkon. And for each soul taken, gives but one day of freedom to Darkon and its wicked King.

Moral outlook: Completely and utterly evil, without remorse, or pity. He has no love, only hate. What he does is for his own sake, and will do anything to make sure he remains free and in power.

Possessions/Weapons: He has many magical items, most created by his hand, a number of dark and/or cursed artifacts, he rules Darkon with an iron fist, and all those within his domain.

Friends/Relations: Crown Prince Khoss, a Caliban, is Azalin's officially adopted son. As for other family he has none, and he has no friends, he just uses others for his own dark reasons.


Past History: Azalin's past is shrouded in a distant past, full of treachery, tyranny, bloodshed, and numerous dark deeds. Which is what made him a Darklord in Ravenloft, he plotted and failed in many attempts to free Darkon from Ravenloft, and finally after centuries of trying, he succeeded in doing so, but at a terrible price.

Future Goals: To expand his grim realm across Rhydin, and to feed enough souls into the everhungry soil of Darkon, to remain free of Ravenloft, this is his only concern. And to have all of his subjects stay absolutrly loyal to him and to no one else.

Azalin as a Lord of the Dead

DarkHand

Date: 2008-03-16 04:46 EST
Name: The Grim Sisters of The Mournful Glade- Kestral, Zedra and Nala

Age: Kestral is 1,000 years old; Zedra is 985 years old, and Nala is 972 years old.

Race: Hags

Gender: female

Height: Kestral stands at 6 foot even, Zedra is an average 5'6" and Nala is a dumpy 4'5"

Weight: Kestral is bone thin at 145 lbs, Zedra is an average 175 pounds, and Nala is a rotund 235 pounds.

Hair: Each sister has long, wild white-grey hair with bits of tiny bone chips woven into various braids.

Eyes: Kestral and Zedra has blood-shot eyes with black pupils, Nala being blind has solid white eyes.

Place of Origin: Unknown really, born in some tiny woodland village ages ago to a farmer and his wife.

Profession: The Grim Sisters serve as chief seers to both Azalin Rex, ruler of Darkon, and to Crown Prince Khoss, their visions are equal in power to any Vistani Raurie.

Appearance: The sisters all have grey-green, warty skin, knobby elbows, long pointed noses, foul half rotted teeth, their tongues are black, their breath is also foul as well. Each wears a torn, ratty robe, stained with mud, blood and other foul substances. Kestral is tall and strong looking, Zedra is average in stature and form, Nala is fat, dumpy and waddles. Each bears a gnarled black oak staff, carved with runes. Each wears earrings and other jewelry made of bones, animal parts and natural stones.


http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa311/tberkin/Witches.jpg

Gifts/Powers: The sisters are powerful seers, seeing both the past and the future with almost perfect clarity. They have highly sharp senses, and their very presence warps reality, though they can control all within this area they warp. They can summon terrible elemental powers, and beasts to their aid. Each also has wicked claws and teeth to tear apart their foes, and their claws also drip with deadly poison at their wish. They're staves are magically enchanted, capable of harming beings only harmed by magical weapons. Each is also fairly fast and quite strong, and able to heal their wounds. With their foul cauldron they can raise undead minions or twist beings into foul servants, which are slaves to the sisters unto death.

Curses upon your Person: They are marked for their gift of Foresight. Kestral is mad, Zedra can see only the Spirit world, and Nala is forever blind. The price one pays for such a power. Each also cannot abide the smell of roses, nor the feel of the Sun's rays, and none of them care for a mirror, even blind Nala.

Moral outlook: The Sisters are evil, without heart or pity, they think only of themselves and are greedy to the extreme. They only serve Khoss and Azalin out of fear, for the two of them are greater then the sisters. They well kill any who enter their lair, though they would have their minions do the work. The sisters have no concept of Morality, seeing it as a weakness.

Possessions/Weapons: Their foul, black cauldron, a terrible artifact of evil power, boiling with sickening green fluid, bound with the spirits of past victims. This item allows them to cast their magics to greater affect, raise undead or beastly servants, and aids them in their Foresight. Their spells, the claws, their teeth and their staves are their weapons. As are the fouls beasts and traps within the Sisters' glade. They possess a large collection of potions and poisons, as well as treasures taken from fools who entered the Glade over the years.

Friends/Relations: They are sisters unto themselves, they have no other family. They serve his Majesty Azalin Rex and Crown Prince Khoss, all others are seen as game in their lair, lest told otherwise by Khoss or Azalin.

Past History: A distant past they have, shrouded in the Mists of time, they do not speak of their past, for to do so would give their enemies power. Even their names are false, having changed them long ago.

Future Goals: For now to serve their Dark Masters, and to see the land grow in size and strength. They do wish to see the kingdom prosper as this gives them much protection from the hated Vistani, whom the sisters despise. Though the Vistani see the Sisters as foul abominations, not worthy of the gift of Foresight.
