Vistlur
05-27-07, 11:43 AM
Name: Vistlur, but his previous name is forgotten.
Age: ??? But even his most trusted doesn't know this fact. He tells no one because it is irrelevant.
Race: Once a sub-race of humanoid, but was bitten by a vampire while undergoing the process of lichdom.
Appearance: Due to tricks and permanent magic effects applied over the years, Vistlur is looks like an overdressed human, wearing tight, dark goggles and a thick scarf that covers the mouth and ears. He is of average height, and below average weight due to decomp.
Personality: Cruel, secretive, and cunning. Due to his talent of manipulation and his teaching of different societies, Vistur, by himself, can conquer a world in a matter of years. By sacrificing everything of his past, he has proved he will do anything that will aid in the future, even just a little.
History: Due to an ability (mentioned below), very little information exists on Vistlur. All that is known is that many thousands of years ago, a man perfected the lichdom process and, while decomposing, was bitten by a vampire that was found later that night torn apart, and not by any tool. The man was an upstanding member of society, trained in just about any subject. He was missing from the scene.
Sometimes his name would appear from the mouths of many historians who would hear his story from others, but anytime they would try to write about him to leave for future study, the pages would either burst into flames, or the words would just simply vanish. Some historians say that Vistlur is the herald for a god, and that god is responsible for this.
The home and base of Vistlur is secret to any but the League of Secrets. His motives and goals are known to no one. Why he is here on Althanas while another of the League is here as well no one knows either. These are all just parts to a bigger story currently being written.
The League of Secrets (Future PG): There are always seven. The weakest to the strongest. It's members have come and gone, but only Vistlur has remained through the ages.
Traits: Though a vampiric lich, Vistlur during the day has flesh on his bones, and blood in his veins. He has no need for rest, or sustainance. If sunlight, however, finds it's way into his body, he will begin to burn. He has about 10 minutes to reach a place of no light or perish. No one in all his life has come close. He wears a pair of dark goggles to shield his eyes from the sun, and he wears a thick scarf to prevent sunlight from entering his mouth and ears. Small cuts will only burn for a second before healing. During the night, he appears as a skeleton. This form can hover, and his fingerbones are coated with metal and filed down with magical lasers.
Fast Healing: Different forms of this ability exist depending on what form Vistlur is adopting.
Flesh Form: Heals broken bones and and cuts. Depending on what injury he has suffered, he may take up to 15 seconds to heal completely.
Bone Form: Heals broken bones. As he has no skin to heal, this ability takes at most 10 seconds if the bone is held in place.
Increased Strength: Regardless of Flesh or Bone form, Vistlur's strength is increased to 1.5 times that of a normal human.
Hover: While in bone form, Vistlur maintains a constant height of 1.5 feet above ground and water, unless knocked down. In flesh form, it takes immense concentration to do this, so he always walks. While hovering, he travels at twice the speed as the average human.
Weapons: Vistlur always carries a steel longsword with him. During training as a gentleman, he had adopted a general knowledge of the skill. He can hold his own. During bone form, he uses his metal, filed down fingerbones combined with his hovering as his melee attack of choice.
Spells: Being a lich, Vistlur is adept at casting many spells. Choice ones are listed below. Spells are casted one-handed unless otherwise posted.
Telekinisis Lv. 1(Both Forms): This spell can only be cast in bone form one handed, or in flesh form two hands. Projects a single thrush forward, harmlessly knocking down a singluar larger creature, or two smaller ones. Also, can be used as a minor shield, blocking all non-magical projectiles within range. Cannot be used on quick succession.
Bone Dart Lv. 1(Bone Form Only): Creates from magic a series of darts that seem to be crafted from bone. 1-5 arrow like projectiles appear suspended in front of the casting hand. One fires, then about a second one fires. Only a maximum of 5 darts can be created at one time. Projection angle, strength, and speed are the same as if firing from a crossbow.
Possessions: Other than the basics, his goggles, scarf, robes, Vistlur is in possession of an intellegent artifact that transports him to a different plane where time does not flow. He can reappear anywhere he has seen before. This artifact is intellegent, and only answers to him. Also, if it senses hostility in the creatures around it towards Vistlur, it cannot work.
