Name: Xanbata Grim
Race:Livelike vampire (see race description)
Race description: Livelike vampires are called so because they are a lot like the living. They can walk in the day, hide their fangs and they only have to feed every so often. Also to those that can sense life forces, the life force of a livelike vampire is almost exactly the same as a human or elf's.
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: Tarry grew up on a planet very similar to Earth, however at the time of Tarry's child hood, it was slightly more advanced. Tarry lived a fairly normal life, with his mother, his twin sister and his father. Tarry was taught to hunt and fish by his father, and learned to be a fairly good shot. These years lasted till Tarry and his sister were 13. Then it all became bad. Tarry's planet was attacked by a more advanced race of aliens that hoped to harvest the planet’s dominant life forms, the humans, for their flesh and muscle, to make cybernetic monsters that were made from organic material. Tarry and his family went into hiding, and for about two years Tarry and his family managed to evade the alien threat. However, eventually they were found. Tarry's mother and father were killed on the spot, because the aliens believed them to me useless. Tarry and his sister were captured. They were horded onto a truck like machine, with other people, that were about their age, more or less. They were eventually brought to a building. Tarry and the other captured people were led down the building to their doom, but Tarry and his sister would not be taken so easily. They saw their chance to escape, a long shoot that looked like a laundry shoot, neither Tarry nor his sister had a damn clue to where it led but they didn't care, any thing would be better than where they were headed. They jumped down the shoot quickly, unfortunately the shoot led to a vat of chemicals. Tarry and his sister landed in it, Tarry eyes were permanently damaged and his sight gone. The chemicals killed his sister instantly. Tarry would have been captured again, but luckily for Tarry there was a group of rebels that had infiltrated the base, that were hoping to destroy it. These rebels led a resistance group and against the aliens, and managed to save Tarry. For several days Tarry lay in bed almost dead, and wishing he was. But then he met an old, fighting trainer, who also happened to be blind. The old man taught Tarry how to fight with out his eyes, he also helped Tarry develop his other senses more so that Tarry would not need his sight. The man was amazing and Tarry began to like him a lot. The old man taught Tarry various martial art moves, sword skills and an ancient and forgotten technique of using human spirit energy called ki, to use various moves. Then the man did, something amazing, the man possessed and ancient sword that contained the spirits of the great worriors that had wielded it. According to the old man, these spirits would help you in various ways, if you're connection with the sword is strong. It could only be wielded by those that the sword felt worthy, and the sword felt that Tarry was indeed worthy. After his training was complete Tarry became a soldier in the rebellion. Tarry proved to have remarkable talent in battle, and the training he had received from the old man helped greatly. Surprisingly Tarry’s blindness was actually and advantage in combat, it allowed Tarry to fight equally well in dark and light areas. Tarry was rarely ambushed because of his senses, which were better than most. Tarry quickly rose through the ranks at rapid speed and by the time he was only 16 Tarry was the head general of the entire group of rebels. The war lasted for 6 years, but finally the alien threat was defeated. When the war was over, Tarry was offered a position of governor, but he refused. Tarry was then offered a position of an elite group of special agents Tarry accepted quickly accepted this. Tarry was code named Grim, and before long, he was in charge of a group of 5 carefully chosen, very skilled and very deadly group of special agents. For about four years things were going well, there was a lot of peace and Tarry’s group made sure it stayed that way. Unfortunately things went horribly wrong for Tarry on a solo mission. Tarry was sent to assassinate the leader of an elite group of terrorist that was causing a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, the leader had expected the government to send somebody like Tarry to get rid of him and thus he had set a trap. Tarry was captured, bound, gagged and beaten severely. For about three days Tarry lay in a cellar, with little more than some dirty water that had been supplied to him by the terrorist, to keep him alive. Then at the end of the third day, one of the thugs, and grunt in the terrorist ranks, came in and hauled Tarry ruthlessly out of the cellar. The leader of the terrorist group had decided what to do with Tarry. Tarry was taken to a lab, filled with high tech equipment. At the center of the whole thing, there was a strange machine, creating what seemed like a swirling mass of purple energy. The leader told Tarry that that machine had created a portal to another planet, at that Tarry would be the first one to go there. The evil man started laughing loudly as his thugs threw Tarry into the mass of energy. The thugs had been nice enough to allow Tarry to keep his sword. Tarry emerged from the portal violently. He was bruised and battered, and half starved to death, after only and hour of aimless wondering Tarry passed out. Tarry would have died then and there but once again it seemed that luck was on Tarry’s side. A young elf girl found Tarry, and brought him back to her house, where Tarry was nursed back to health. Tarry awoke in the house dazed and confused, but the girl quickly told him what had happened. He was incredibly thankful to the girl and her family but did not know how to repay them and the rest of their poor village. Tarry quickly found out how he could the next day, when a group of bandits arrived. Apparently the bandits often terrorized and the people in it, doing what the pleased because nobody in the village could do any thing about it that is until they found Tarry. Tarry grabbed his sword and walked up to the leader of the bandits, a mean looking dwarf. He drew his sword and pointed at the leader, and spoke “you and you’re scummy men will leave this village, and if you come here again, you will die”. The dwarf and the 4 men he had with him roared with laughter, but it was suddenly replaced by a harsh scream from the dwarf. Tarry sword, had sliced the dwarf neck open, and the dwarf fell to the ground, which was being soaked by blood from the large wound. One of the thug’s men ran at Tarry, but was quickly killed when Tarry thrust his sword thru the thug’s heart. Tarry quickly decapitated the thug closest to the first thug before the creature could draw its blade. The other two who were apparently more cowardly and had a lot more since than their companions, fled, once they saw how quickly their fellows thugs had been killed by the knew stranger. Tarry then walked over to the girl who had found him and kissed her on the forehead, he then spoke softly to her “thank you, but I must leave, if you or anybody else needs my help, come find me, I will be glad to give my help to them”. Tarry then turned and walked away from the village, his goal was to find away from the village, he hoped to find away to his home planet, “but” he thought to him self “perhaps my destiny lies here”. After about a month on Althanas, the spirits in his sword contacted him by way of a dream. This dream went in to detail about the life of the first spirit in his sword name Jarkan, and Tarry has a feeling he will have other dreams pertaining to the other spirits in his sword. He has joined the OWC and the Theatre of war, searching for his destiny. Tarry joined the Tel Algarim to repay the wood elves that did so much for him. There he got in a fight with an elf named Yelomere and the result led to him being kicked out of the Tel Algarim. While on the run Tarry was caputred by vampires and blooded. Since then Tarry's sould has darkened and he has had to deal with a whole world of new problems. Eventually, after getting re-admitted back into the Tel Algarim Tarry found out about an old martial master. Tarry travled to this master to recieve training and did so. Tarry entered the magus tournament but had to forfiet do to unfortunate circumstances. He also had his blood purified by and was sired by a powerful vampire lord named Lestat. While on a trip in the forest of Concordia Tarry had a seemingly random encounter with the vampire Lorenor. The encounter however proved quite faitfull in and long story short, it led to Tarry joining the Sabat. Also Tarry entered the another tournament, the Adventurer's Crown, together with his friend Ziggurate Bandit and the cat girl, known as Kit. Together the odd team actually did quite well before getting eliminated at the end of the second round. Following the Adventuerer's Crown Tarry entered another tournament, The Serenti Invitational. He was eliminated in the first round by judges deciscion despite actually killing his opponent. The guilt that Tarry felt from murdering Tobias in the first round led him on a trip to Radasanth where he ran into Do'negh. During this confrontation Do'negh gave Tarry a gift and told Tarry about another agent from Najin that had arrived on Althanas. Tarry hunted this agent down and proceeded to strand her on Althanas. Tarry took on a apprentice by the name of Nathaniel Sierra. Together the two enetered the Lorinus Coperate Challenge (LCC). The two were beaten in the first round. Blaming Nathaniel for the loss, Tarry abandonned his apprentice. Tarry returned to Radasanth where he met up with his enemy Storm. In the ensuing events Tarry was captured and sent to jail after murdering a few guards. The blind vampire eventually escaped and fled to the forest of Concordia, murdering several people and a few guards and causing serious injury to countless more in the process. This event is now known as the Radasanth massacre to the people of Corone. Following his fleeing into Corone, the vampire quickly discovered that it's people don't like being killed and soon Tarry was having to fend off numerous bounty hunters. Due in part to his twisted logic and in part to the information he got from somebody he interrogated, the livelike vampire figured that murdering the Minister of Justice, Marion Kereness would remove the bounty on his head. He was right, to a point. The bounty was removed but instead the government of Corone sent an assassin after him. It was at the hands of this assassin that Tarry died in Concordia. Tarry was revived in the mountains of Salvar by his old friend/nemisis (varied at times) Do'negh Varameshi. Tarry was convinced into working for Do'negh again. Once successfully convinced the mentally troubled vampire, changed his name from Tarry Whealer to Xanbata Grim (named after a mythelogical warrior on his own planet that cheated and eventually became the god of death) to illustrate his newfound change in body and mind (especially body).

Skills and abilities:
((The abilities The sword has a mind of its own, 6th Sense, and Ki shield were all lost here (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=3315&page=3).))
Swordmanship: Xanbata is a master in the art of swordsmanship. This skill now 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
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 does light to heavy damage, depending on the strength of Xanbata's opponent (light if the opponent is a higher level than Xanbata, moderate if they are the same level as Xanbata, and heavy if they are a lower level than Xanbata). 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.
Ki beam: Xanbata has learned to concentrate is ki energy into a steady beam of energy that has a length of 30 feet. This attack does moderate to very heavy damage depending to the strength of the victim (moderate if they are a higher level than Xanbata, heavy if they are the same level or very heavy if they are lower than Xanbata). He can use this attack only once a day, and will not be able to use any other ki attacks if he does. This ability has developed to the point that Xanbata can now use his other ki abilities after using this ability.
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 Tarry 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.
Strong Bite: Xanbata can bit through matierials as strong as iron.
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.
Semi immortality: Xanbata can only die in the following ways: Peirced through the heart, not feeding with in 72 hours, burning to death, his head being removed.
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.
Name: Xanbata Grim
Race:Livelike vampire (see race description)
Race description: Livelike vampires are called so because they are a lot like the living. They can walk in the day, hide their fangs and they only have to feed every so often. Also to those that can sense life forces, the life force of a livelike vampire is almost exactly the same as a human or elf's.

Once successfully convinced the mentally troubled vampire, changed his name from Tarry Whealer to Xanbata Grim (named after a mythelogical warrior on his own planet that cheated and eventually became the god of death) to illustrate his newfound change in body and mind (especially body).

Xanbata can only use it 10 times a day.This attack does light to heavy damage, depending on the strength of Xanbata's opponent (light if the opponent is a higher level than Xanbata, moderate if they are the same level as Xanbata, and heavy if they are a lower level than Xanbata). 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.
Ki beam: Xanbata has learned to concentrate is ki energy into a steady beam of energy that has a length of 30 feet. This attack does moderate to very heavy damage depending to the strength of the victim (moderate if they are a higher level than Xanbata, heavy if they are the same level or very heavy if they are lower than Xanbata). He can use this attack only once a day, and will not be able to use any other ki attacks if he does. This ability has developed to the point that Xanbata can now use his other ki abilities after using this ability.
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 Tarry 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.
Strong Bite: Xanbata can bit through matierials as strong as iron.
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.
Semi immortality: Xanbata can only die in the following ways: Peirced through the heart, not feeding with in 72 hours, burning to death, his head being removed.
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.
