((Decided I missed this bastard, consider this my 3.0 rewrite))
Name: Xanbata Grim
Race:Evolved vampire
Alliance: evil
Gender: male
Age: 29
Appearance: Xanbata is about 6'1" and has a slender yet slightly muscular build. His muscles are well defined though not excessivly large. His eyes are a dull blue and his hair and light brown. His skin is a bit pale, though not deathly white as most would imagine. His ears are nose a bit big, his jaw line a bit sharp and his eyes are a bit sunken in. His ears by human standards could be considered a little bit pointy though they are nothing compared to elf or half elf standards. He often sports a goatee which is the same color as his hair except a little bit lighter.
History: It's hard to believe that Xanbata Grim was once considered a hero. A samurai with a decent heart in his past life he succumbed to blood lust brought on by his vampiric mutation and after a fateful encounter with a government assassin he was brought to justice and given the peace of death somewhere in the forest. Unfortunately the necromancer responsible for the samurai becoming a vampire in the first place had other plans and thus the swordsman was given a second name, a second life, a second body and a second mind.
Weapons:
1 double edged prevalida longsword
1 double edged plynt combat knife
Armor:
1 mythril cuirass
Misc items:
Various cloths of all shapes, sizes and makes, made from various cottons and silks. None of the cloths have any sort of special properties of any sorts nor are any of them very valuable. None of them can be sold.
Skills:
Swordmanship: Xanbata is a master in the art of swordsmanship. This skill includes all similar bladed weapons such as daggers, seis, schimitars, ect. as long as Xanbata has had the weapon(s) for at least one level.
Hand to hand combat: Xanbata has great skill with a wide variety of hand to hand combat moves
Abilities:
Ki blast: Xanbata is capable of concentrating is ki energy into a blast and sending it at his opponent. Xanbata can only use it 10 times a day. This attack contains roughly the same concussive force as your standard high explosive hand grenade. Xanbata can now fire these from any part of his body, not just his hands.
Spirit sense: Xanbata has learned to sense when spirits or undead are near. He can also sense if somebody is undead or not. After developing this sense Xanbata has learned to sense the energies of the living. Xanbata has developed this to the point he can tell age, race, and gender of somebody with this sense. Xanbata's spirit sense now has a secondary feature. By focusing all his concentration Xanbata can locate a life force from anywhere on the planet. To do this Xanbata must concentrate for at least 30 seconds and maintain his intense concentration to keep tracking the target. Because of the intense concentration required Xanbata is unable to concentrate on anything else while using this function and he is not able to move much, if at all, while using this ability or his concentration will be broken. If his concentration is broken he must concentrate again for 30 seconds re-find the target. Despite the heavy amount of concentration required to use this ability it is not draining and as such Xanbata can use this ability an infinite number of times.
Ability absorbtion: When Xanbata begins to feed from someone he as learned to copy a portion of their life force to his, which causes him to learn one ability they have. If Xanbata learns a ability higher than his level then that ability is locked until Xanbata reaches that level. Can only be used on PC's with their creator's permission and only 1 time per thread. The ability must be requested and approved as a spoil at the end of the thread where it was gained in order to use it.
Resistance to cold: Thanks to his time in Salvar Xanbata has become resistant to natural cold. It is nearly impossible for him to get a frost bite, and he can tune out most natural cold to the point where he no longer feels it. Even cold to harsh for him to tune out completely can be tuned out to the point it is bearable to him and not overly uncomfortable. This ability only applies to natural cold, magical ice and cold attacks still effect Xanbata the way they normally would.
Devolution Orb: Xanbata is now able to create a ball of blue ki energy at the end of his finger tips. This orb is about the size of a small bouncy ball, and travels as fast as an arrow. What happens is when it hits somebody who is transformed into another state, it automatically causes them to revert back to their normal state. This ability must hit the flesh of the target directly to take effect. Any effects that come from transforming back the "regular" way are not felt by the victim of this attack however as far as use limits go (such as X number of times per day) it still counts as one use even when the transformation is ended prematurely by this ability. This can be used twice every 24 IC hours with atleast a 10 IC minute break between each use.This ability now includes partial transformations (ie: growing extra body parts, changing body parts, ect.) as well.
Tainted touch: This is actually a passive ability, though it does have an active variation. As a result of his corrupted soul all wounds inflicted on somebody through direct physical contact with any part of Xanbata's body (including teeth) or by his ki attacks cannot be healed with healing magic nor with regenerative properties. All wounds will heal at the rate they normally would on a normal human. In addition to this such wounds are about 1.5 times as painful as they would normally be. The active version of this is that by concentrating Xanbata can extend this ability over his cloths and on to in melee weapon he is holding. When he does so the weapon gains a faint black glow that is mostly only visable to those who can "see" magical energies. Xanbata can perform this active version easily and it drains very little stamina. The down side to the active version is that while it is active Xanbata cannot use any other ki spells.
Vampiric traits/weaknessess/ablities
Enhanced phyiscall attributes: Xanbata is now 3 times as fast and 3 times as strong as an average human. The stamina and tolerance for pain are always proportionate to Xanbata's strength while the reflexes and agility are always proportionate to Xanbata's speed. This is a result of the blood lust evolving.
Weakness to fire: Fire attacks do approximatly double their normal damage to Xanbata.
Need to feed: If Xanbata dosn't feed on human or elf or dwarf blood every 72 IC hours he will die. Xanbata can now feed on any warm blooded mamal in order to sustain himself. Obviously the quality of the animal will buy him more time so to speak, meaning a rat will grant him a few hours at the most where as a full grown deer or horse is nearly as good as a human, elf or dwarf.
Weakness to holy magic: With the purifying of his blood Xanbata has gained a weakness to holy magic. Holy magic attacks now deal 2 times as much damage as they normally would to Xanbata.
Regeneration: Wounds such as first degree burns, small cuts or bruises will heal up almost instantly. Moderate wounds such as medium cuts, large bruises or second degree and things like broken fingers or toes burns will take about 4-5 IC minutes to heal up. Large wounds such as third degree burns, large cuts, or broken arms or legs will heal up in about 30 IC minutes. Small Severed limbs such as toes and stuff will regenerate in about 12 IC hours. And large severed limbs such as arms or legs will regenerate in about 24 IC hours. This is a passive vampiric ablity. He cannot regenerate his head, being pierced through the heart can still kill him and he can still burn to death.
Personality: Xanbata is in every since of the word an asshole. He is bitter, sarcastic, pessimistic, cocky, arrogent and not exactly sane. Because of all the times he has wittnessed somebody close to him die, he is actually afraid of making friends. He is brutally honest and will give his personal opinion to just about anybody on any subject regardless of wether or not they want his opinion. To him killing is like a drug, he loves the rush and feeling he gets from it and absolutetly hates himself for it, he is also seemingly addicted to the act. Xanbata has now become more corrupted. He no longer fights the bloodlust and instead embraces it as part of him. He now sees humans, elves, dwarfs and other mortal races as inferior races that are just as expendable as cattle, particularly to vampires which Xanbata now considers the most superior race on Althanas. Xanbata has become a recently become subject to occasional bouts of paranoia. He also sees humans as a plague that needs to be eradicated and believes there can never be peace between vampires and the other races, unless those other races bow down to the vampires. He has become very sadistic and slightly masochistic. He still slightly insane though he no longer wears it on his sleeves and has regained much of his sanity since his death.
