Name: Aeron Morieth

Age: Current body's age is 108, but Aeron himself has been around for over one thousand years.

Race: Human

Physical Appearance: Due to his clones (see below), Aeron's appearance of age varies. He can appear anywhere inbetween 50 and 108. But whatever the age, he always stands out in a crowd due to his face plate (also see below). He is also always bald. His robes vary from black to purple, depends on the occasion.

Clones: Having not found the secret to achieving immortality yet, Aeron has found the next best thing. As a young man, he made a pact with a god. Part of his pact was the ability to create soulless clones. At about the age of 50, Aeron created thousands of these clones and hid them all around Althanas. If killed by removal of the face plate, or by being killed by another sentient being, Aeron's soul will travel to the nearest clone, activating it. All clones created are at the same age they were at creation. The only way to rid the world of Aeron forever is for him to either starve to death, or be killed be a being whose sole mission is to destroy him. Each clone is also fitted with a plate which has no power unless the body is inhabited by a soul.

Properties of the Face Plate: Aeron wears a face plate given to him by his own dark god. It is both helpful and baneful. It is what gived him his power, but it is also what can kill him. If removed, his body will implode and his soul will travel to his nearest clone. Under the plate, there is nothing. Just a black void that houses his soul. Also, there is a trait that magically effects a room that he enters. All light sources dim slightly when Aeron enters a room. He can see in the dark as well as a human can see in the light.

Spells: Aeron focuses on mental strength instead of physical. Mental powers go with the soul from body to body. Physical improvements do not. His spells have a maximum range of 50 feet and can target anyone within range. They can penetrate minimal spell resistance but nothing more. These are the spells Aeron has mastered thus far.

Fire: In either a ball for cone form. The ball is not homing, but he can control the cone once fired by moving his hands. The ball is about a foot in diameter and dissapates once it reaches 50 feet. The cone reaches 25 feet long and lasts 3 seconds. The fire is only as strong as a normal flame.

Frost: Freezes most nonanimate objects within seconds of toughing it. With living beings this spell takes a bit longer. Spell coats Aeron's hand(s) with magical frost so it can enter non-magical flames with ease. Spell duration is indefinate. The longer the object is touched, the colder it becomes.

Lightning: Sends a flash of lightning 50 feet long in the direction his hand is pointed in. The spell lasts about 2 seconds. He cannot move his hand once the spell had been cast or re-casting will be nessessary. This spell takes about one second to cast. The hand will crackle with electric current for a moment before casting, giving the victim a chance to react.

Levitation: Though mostly used on himself, Aeron has also been known to use this spell in opponents. The target(s) float about 3 feet above the ground for about 10 seconds. If used on himself, he can move in any direction, but if used on an opponent, then only horizontal movement is possible. Only the caster of the spell can control movement.

Telepathy(not a spell): Due to the face plate, Aeron has no mouth. He communicates by telepathy of such strength that it can penetrate the toughest mental blocks. If facing such a being with said blocks, or with higher than normal willpower, he can only communicate. But against creatures with no defense at all, Aeron can also read surface thoughts. This goes for animals as well. Aeron can talk just about any wild(even some trained) animals from attacking him.

History: There are rumors of a group of powerful beings in the universe called the League of Secrets, a group of seven individuals that can each take over an entire world, and give control over to their dark deity. Aeron is the second-in-command, able to spy on and control influential individuals without leaving the safety of his tower. But, only certain details of rumors are facts. Aeron is indeed a member of a group, ad powerful indeed, but not much more is known.

Aeron received his powers on night when being inducted into the League of Secrets by the dark deity himself. He was in search of more power, and one who has power only wants more. The Face Plate seemed like the answer to his prayers. It dissolved away his mouth and corrupted his soul, but the abilities it gave to him were so much more satisfying than what he lost. He discovered he could read thoughts without help from spells, and the spells he could cast, he could do so quickly and more effectively. His brain could also absorb knowledge more quickly and contain it longer. But, Aeron was coming on in years. Most other members of his group was immortal in one way or another. Aeron was not as desperate to become undead just to live forever. Another method must be found.

One was found. Deep in the knowledge already possessed by the Face Plate, was a means to copy bodies for future use for the soul. Instead if the soul passing on after death, the soul would live on in the new body. Creation of the clones was no easy feat, each one taking a month and many resourses to complete. After exausting his wealth and many years later, Aeron was in possession of thousands of clones, which he instructed followers of the League to hide all over Althanas, many on tombs and hidden in underground chambers. After the creation of his tower in Althanas, he instructed the followers to leave, for each member of the League must complete their mission alone, or with the help of one other member.

His mission? To control powerful members of the planet to serve him into enslaving the entire world. To give the planet to his League and to his deity. To do so without giving away the secrets of the League. All who know the true identity of Aeron or another member must be killed or enslaved.

Possessions:

Crystal Ball: Created by magic, this orb cannot be sold. If touched by anyone other than Aeron, it pops. Creating another is simple and can be done with just a thought. This orb is used to spy on people that have only been in contact with the Telepathy skill. Aeron can either look from overhead, or through their eyes. Also, surface thoughts can be read of the individual being spyed on. With additional concentration, Aeron can communicate with the individual. Additional effects will be added as Aeron levels up.

Tower of Shadows: Cloaked from sight, this tower is located hidden in the valleys of Althanas. No one but Aeron knows exact location. The tower is 5 floors high, with no light sources. All light sources that enter the tower are snuffed out by magical properties of the building. Additional effects will be added as Aeron levels up.

Tower Key: Using this object, which is shaped like an old, bronze key, Aeron can open a portal to the Tower. The portal must be located in a door frame and can only allow up to three people through, including Aeron, who must enter first or the portal will close.

50 feet long cone of fire can cover a rather large area. I'd like you to shorten the cone or at least clarify as to how wide it is at the far end.

Weaken the Frost a little bit, so that he can freeze stuff rather fast, but not instantly.

Also, keep in mind that a person with strong willpower will be able to block your mind-reading.

Cut fire cone down to 25 ft.

Changed Frost spell.

I assumed I had worded the Telepathy skill wrong, but I changed it anyway.

Anything else?

EDIT: Question. I know I didn't specify a limit to my spells, but you don't have to worry about me powergaming. I just wanted to know If there is a rule about using both hands for a spell? Example, casting lightning and it comeing out both hands? Both aiming for the same spot?

We give players a lot of liberty with spells. There are a lot of different types of magic and since they tend to work differently, it's hard to put strict restrictions when it comes to magic. So yeah, you can use both hands. However, keep in mind that if you do go overboard, it's only going to hurt you in the end since the judges will most likely notice it.

On that note, you are approved! Thank you for your cooperation and welcome to Althanas.
