Name: Tristan Blackblade
Age: 13
Race: Human
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: brown
Height: 5.6
Weight: 120 lbs
Occupation: Necromancer-for-hire

*Personality: The only thing i can say here is that he is loyal to his friends and is often jovial with them, but with anyone else he is quiet and withdrawn

Appearance: He wears a long black monks robe and a jet black traveling cloak with a violet lining. he has dark circles under his eyes from staying up late and is very pale because of his magic.
History: Well, It all started when Trist was a little boy, and suddenly his mother died of a heart attack. For many days after the funeral his father would take him to the local parish chapel to pray, one day when his father wanted to be alone with his prayers he sent the boy to talk with the priest of the chapel. Trist did so and hoped for a story. The priest seeing his grief promised to teach him special magic. Little did Trist know that the priest was a heretic necromancer. So he learned until one day an inspector from the state came to town to inspect the village. He condemned the priest and attacked him, the priest was killed and Trist was about to be next when a special demon saved him and killed the inspector draining Trist of his 'Mana', when Trist next woke he ran away. He has been on the hunt for new power to resurrect his mother ever since. He also enjoys knowledge and wisdom and so is considered a scholar by some.

Skills:

Instant Re-Animation- If Trist finds something dead or kills it, he can have ancient soldiers of the spirit realm inhabit the body and obey his orders (which is the deal saving them from hell because of the things they've killed) most of these are very novice fighters hampered only by a weak body. one at a time

Demon summon- By drwing runes in the ground Trist can summon many demons, the stronger they are the more mana they drain per moment held to this plane of existence, the ones he prefers to use can be held for an hour without him tiring, his strongest ones however leave him unconsious within 1 minute of being summoned, all demons are one at a time

Black out- Trist can extinguish all sources of light he choses to, the higher the distance of the light the more mana is re-quired.

Un-Dead Immortality- its technically immortality, but bear with me, you see if he is killed or dies naturally a spell will activate that binds him to his own body the way he would zombifie a regular body. If he is 'Killed' in this form he is dead, plain and simple, if he can 'live' in this form for 24 hours the binding will become permanent and he is effectivly among th living. and then an hour later the spell will re-load itself so it can be activated if he needs it again.

Dark Influence- only affects things with a lower intelligence level then Tristan, and only lightly influences the thoughts of the thing he casts this spell on. This is his preffered method of bypassing guards....

Equipment:

1 silver dagger for preparing things for better zombification (cannot be sold)
1 plain wooden staff to right runes on the ground with, and use as a walking stick or quater satff as needed
1 book of demons and spirits and how to call on them
several blank scrolls for notes and spells he finds on his travels
1 empty glass vial for substances he wants to save to look into later
1 knife for scientific purposes
1 pair of spectacles that allow one to see things on another plane of existence (ghosts, sprites, hidden female wizards that lack clothing) (Cannot be sold)

*Familiars: an un-dead squirrel with a demon possesing it, it is extremely loyal, it is also the vocal point of some of Trists more simple spells (neccesary for some demon rituals)

Alright, there are some things that need to be fixed before I can approve this.

First off, Instant Re-Animation is too strong, both because it's instant and because he can summon experienced fighters. For now I'd like you to put a limit on it so Tristan can only reanimate one corpse with a spirit of a novice fighter, and he can't reanimate another until the first one is dead.

Demon Summon also needs to be fixed. It says that he can summon "many demons" and at level zero, characters shouldn't be able to summon many anything. So yeah, also limit it to one demon at a time, and keep in mind that if you summon a demon that is too strong, it will be considered powergaming. Right now, regardless of how much mana he spends, Tristan should only be able to summon minor demons.

I need some clarification on the Immortality. So basically what happens is that you can kill Tristan as you would usually any man, and then he becomes bound to his dead body and becomes a zombie. If he's killed in that form, he's dead. If he's not, he returns amongst the living after the 24 hours. If this is what you meant, I will allow it. If not, please explain.

The silver dagger and the uncanny spectacles can never be sold. Please note that next to those items.

Lastly, yes, all spells should be listed. Given the fact that you are going for some sort of dark magic here, I'd suggest adding a skill that would be called something like "Dark Manipulation", but keep in mind that Tristan's skill should be rather limited at this point.

the strongest demon is to the his weakest demon as 1 grownman with a longbow is to a kid with a slingshot, and only for a minute, and if powergaming is the same as G-Modding, chillax, i hate G-modders, most of the demons i have come up with have an obvious weakspot in addition to a time limit.
btw, i meant many different types... that book is elaborate....

what is 'dark manipulation?' like a jedi mind trick? i haven't edited that in....


yes, you got it right about the immortality thing

You mentioned that Tristan has some simple spells, like black shields and black fireballs. That needs to be listed too. I suggested to put it all under an ability like "dark manipulation" or whatever you want to call it, as long as it describes what he can do.

oh okay i get what you mean....

but instead i'll just take out the simple spells and add a dark manipulation that would be a jedi mind trick (only affects things with a lower intelligence level then Tristan, and only lightly influences decision)

is that spell alright, you know, before i edit in?
