Dehkan
06-07-06, 03:36 PM
Name: Dehkan
Age: 5,423
Race: Human
Weapon of choice: Black iron longsword, inscribed with glowing red un-decipherable runes. No magic inscribed that Dehkan knows about. Obtained in the machine world of Mechanac.
Current Armour: Black iron breastplate obtained in Mechanac. Inprinted with a symbol of a hourglass tilted on its side.
Apperance: About 6'3", 150lbs. Only strong enough to carry his equipment at the same time as fighting. Dehkan has long black silk-like hair and no scars on his otherwise hairless body. Has a smooth, flowing voice that is deep for a man as feminine as him. He has had his armor fitted to him so it doesnt appear bulky on his thin frame.
History: It would take more than a humans lifetime to tell it all, but it began with a war that he stopped between three gods, the gods of time Past, Present, and Future. As a reward of stopping the war that would have destroyed the fabric of space and time, Dehkan, a farmer at the time, was given immortality. With this, an everlasting memory, and a means to fortel a small moment in the future. No matter what, Dehkan, charged with recording all that happens for the time gods return, can not forget anything he sees, hears, touches, etc. Ever since, he has traveled from world to world using an aquired ability (explained in a flashback solo quest later) to planeswalk. He has read and memorized entire libraries, sometimes visiting the same worlds twice.
Abilities:
Immortality: Dehkan is immortal. He has no need to eat or drink. Sleep is required, but aquired through another means as mentioned below. Only through means of combat can Dehkan die.
Library of the Mind: Through a kind of trance, Dehkan can enter his own mind and walk around towers of bookshelves housed in his head. This is the library in which Dehkan stores all his knowledge. Time spent while in this trance counts as sleep, as his mind is all that is active. He is vulnerable during this, so he only uses this when he is sure he is safe, not that he makes that many enemies anyway.
Save senses: Everything that Dehkan observes through any of his senses is immediatly sent to the library of the mind and saved. Even random thoughts that Dehkan has are saved.
Combat experience: Through numerous tomes and books Dehkan has read, he knows how to effectively weild almost every type of weapon. Special techniques, which most of the time are not written down, he does not know. He knows no techs with his own weapon since he has not gained nessesary experience with it, even through the 5,000 years of life.
Glimpse of Fate: Through a trance, Dehkan can glimpse a moment of a persons future. Usually he has to be touching the person, but sometimes he can use it with someone he has touched or someone he is currently looking at. His eyes are open during this, so he is not as vulnerable as with the library. The time spent during this counts as merely rest.
Magic: There is a difference between knowing magic and being able to use it. Dehkan has memorized many spells, but without schooling, training, and knowledge of HOW to cast them, he finds that he cannot at this time.
Goals: Currently searching for the ancient library, where a copy of every book is kept. If found, he will stay there for a long time, recording. The library moves with every patrons exit, so it would be difficult.
