William's Early History (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=19261)
William wandered for years as a revenant, consistently locked in a cycle of fighting against the demon inside him until the demon became too strong, broke free and killed again and again. William wandered, hoping that by traveling he would find a way to control the demon within him. He was partially right.
Learning of the Citadel in Radasanth, William journeyed there to try and gain control of the demon within him through combat. In the Citadel, William learned that he could control the demon’s power if he called upon it instead of fighting against it. The joy of this realization was tempered by his newfound knowledge that he hadn’t been possessed by a demonic entity, but that he and the demon had been merged into one being, inseparable.
Now, William wanders in the hopes of finding a way to reconcile the two halves of himself so that he can once more be a complete person.
Appearance:
Human
In this form, William is an athletic man, tanned and muscular from his years working in the woods. Black veins of charring ripple across his skin before healing quickly, signs of the demonic power flowing through his veins. The veins become more prevalent the more excited or agitated he becomes. He keeps his coarse black hair short, and though it burns away when he transforms, his revenant nature grows it back to quickly once his transformation fades. Even when he is acting jovial, there is a shark-like quality to his grin and a gleam of murderous intent in his cold black eyes.
William prefers to wear heavy, full-body clothes to keep wandering eyes off of the black veins worming through his skin. Living primarily outdoors, William prefers rugged, enduring clothes, which are often dusty with dirt and ash. He frequently wraps the parts of him that aren’t covered by his clothes in heavy bandages and wears a wool scarf to cover the lower portion of his face.
Demon:
When demonic, William’s frame swells. He grows several inches in height and his athletic build becomes thick and muscular. The molten heat of his power chars and burns his skin from below, turning his entire body into a broken, blackened mass over red, raw flesh. Spurs of sharp charred bone cover his hands, giving him iron-hard claws that cover him like gloves. Similarly, his teeth twist and crack, filling his mouth with jagged fangs. When the transformation is upon him, his eyes glow red-orange like burning coals, lit from within by his demonic power.
William prefers to remove the heavy, restrictive cloaks and bandages that he wears to hide himself, bearing his charred, smoking head, chest, and arms. Though he has no problem with fighting in the nude if the situation demands, he generally keeps his pants and boots on as they really don’t hinder him much and take too long to remove.
Personality:
Because of the conflicting nature that William has yet to reconcile, he is prone to violent mood swings. He wants to regain his ability to interact meaningfully with others, yet is constantly plagued by his desire to destroy everything around him. He remembers that he was once a kind, loving family man but now takes great pleasure in killing, a fact that disturbs him. He still maintains guilt over the deaths that he has caused, though at times he enjoys what he has done. When he transforms into his demonic form, William’s humanity is the recessive portion of his personality and he revels in the chance to indulge his violent desires.
In situations of extreme emotion, William is still prone to losing control and blacking out, completely controlled by his rage. When he is in such a state, there is nothing even remotely human about him.
Skills and Abilities:
Demonic Transformation: By calling on his demonic essence, William can transform himself into a demonic creature. Transforming in this manner is simple and if William is under extreme duress, can even happen unwillingly. It takes one full post for William to assume demonic form. Returning to human form is much more difficult as William has to calm himself down to do so. Returning to human form cannot be accomplished if William cannot concentrate.
Revenant Healing: Average – William’s revenant nature slowly repairs damage done to his physical form. The process is slow, but given a long enough period of time he can recover from all but the most serious wounds. The only exception to this is the healing of his flesh that occurs when he transforms back to human form, which happens rapidly, taking one post to return him to normal.
Human:
Strength: 1x
Agility: 1x
Axe: Below Average – After coming to a realization of his revenant nature, William has slowly started getting back some memories of his life as a woodsman. He remembers how to use an axe as a weapon, but is still extremely out of practice. William only uses an axe when he is in human form.
Demon:
Strength: 2x
Agility: 1x
Claws: Above Average – William’s claws are the revenant’s natural weapons and he uses them with good effect. They are currently as strong as iron and do slashing or piercing damage. William’s bone claws have grown to cover the backs of his hands, allowing him a very limited capacity to deflect light attacks.
Toughness: Leather – William’s charred skin if thick and can absorb more damage than normal flesh, acting as armor for the revenant.
Molten Core: The demonic power that flows through William burns like fire, the reason for the charring of William’s flesh. As he has strengthened his ties with his revenant nature, this aura of heat has become more prevalent. The air surrounding William for up to three feet is intensely warm, though not uncomfortable. This warmth can slowly melt frost or ice around William and shelters him from low levels of heat though it does not prevent him from being frozen or burned.
Equipment:
Heavy Traveling Clothes – Tough wool and denim apparel that wards off the rigors of travel and bad weather. William wears a heavy vest, pants, and a thick cloak to cover as much of his flesh as possible.
Tome of Kal’Necroth: The tome of ancient magic that Kal’Necroth used to create William’s Revenant body. William doesn’t understand any of it, but keep it with him in hopes that one day he can learn its secrets and perhaps undo what was done to him. It is highly resistant to heat and is waterproof.
