Where others use blood magic as a last resort or to only augment their other powers Katari jumps wholeheartedly into the art. He excels in the fields of turning his enemies' own blood against them, using it to either heal himself or causing it to boil under their skin until they burst in a glorious crimson shower. As well he is an expert at bending the will of others while in combat and forcing them to fight as his puppets. Though not nearly as skilled as his manipulating of creatures of this world Katari has in the past been able to bend the will of lesser demons from the Fade. His combat style is different than the usual mage, preferring a up close and personal approach rather than firing away from afar.[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]Personality[/b][/color] [color=black]If you were given a copper piece for every time Katari has been described as the "strong silent type" you would never have to work another day in your life. True to the stereotype that has befallen his people Katari on the surface seems quite menacing and imposing, not the one you would expect light conversation from, it is only when he talks that one would see how truly unique Katari is. For when he speaks Katari speaks with the same elegance of the Imperium's noble class, both well thought out and spoken sentences that just seem to flow so naturally one just can't help but be swayed by them. He is not one for jokes, remaining deadly serious most of the time, and likes to get things done as quickly as possible. His training and upbringing has made him slightly sadistic, he quietly enjoys breaking his enemies in both body and spirit especially when he knows they deserve it. Katari believes the end does justify the means, as in if he has to slaughter a few villagers to kill a magister he will do it with out hesitation.[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]Backstory[/b][/color] [color=black]Katari's beginnings are a bit of a mystery for he is not sure of them himself. Was he the child of proud Qunari warriors who dedicated their lives to the Qun or was he the result of some drunken night between some Tal-Vashoth rebels, one can only guess. All that is certain is that through a series of misfortunate events Katari ended up in the possession of a Tevinter slaver, still a infant less than a year old. Despite all the bad blood between the Qunari and the people of the Imperium and the fact that most of Tevinter's population is made up of slaves a Qunari slave, Vashoth or otherwise, was unheard of which is what made it so scandalous to have one and whenever a scandalous occasion arises there was one Magister that always managed to capitalize on it. Alexandra Landraus was a Magister that knew by being the center of attention was the best way to ensure her a seat in power and the best way to remain the center of attention was by breaking the norm. So it is not hard to imagine that she snapped at the chance to own a Oxman for herself, ensuring that her name to be on many more lips. This is where Katari's story truly begins. He was raised like a show dog, being trained to both impress and intimidate other Magisters at the command of Alexandra. It wasn't until he was ten that things started to become truly interesting in his life for that was when his magical powers surfaced. Like always Alexandra took advantage of the situation and began to turn Katari into a symbol that stood against everything the Qun and the Qunari stood for. She began to train him in blood magic as well as the politics of the Imperium, two things the Qun strongly disagrees with. But the worst of Alexandra's teaching methods was placing Katari into the Arena. The Arena was a secret event were Magisters brought their slaves and made them fight to the death for sport and entertainment. Katari was a natural in combat and quickly raised to become the champion of the Arena, earning the nickname The Executor. Despite all the power and training she gave him Katari resented Alexandra for how she treaed him, a mere tool used for the soul purpose of getting her more power among the Magisters. It wasn't till after years of servitude that Katari managed to escape Alexandra, though his escape was quite bloody and did not end well for many of Alexandra's personal guard. Katari has since wandered aimlessly, as surprising as it was no one wanted to house a random Oxman, little a lone one that was also a mage. He managed to make coin by doing random odd jobs he came upon, mostly dealing with bandits or cutthroats that were harassing a local village.[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]Appearance[/b][/color] [color=black]Katari is a towering individual, standing at 7'3 in height, with a muscular body build. His skin is a dark bronze color and is racked with countless scars. His hair is long and pure silver in color while his eyes are bright amber. He has four black horns, two large ones that extend towards the back of his head and two smaller ones that curve forward. He wears black and crimson red leather robes with a black cloak. His right arm is covered in armor that ends in a clawed gauntlet.[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]Other[/b][/color] [color=black]He was named Katari by Alexandra after his first arena battle, she thought it was funny. Up to that point she referred to him merely as [I]"my pet"[/I][/color] [/center]
