Username: Lucius Cypher Name: [i][b]Karnage Urabrask Vorinclex[/b][/i] Race: Formerly a Demon Orc (Time will tell if he will ever obtain his original body back), currently some sort of Tree-Creature. Age: 455 (Only the last fifty or so year was spent as a tree person) Gender: Male Homeland: Land of Tiien Appearance: [img=http://i.imgur.com/Dng5WPN.jpg] Size: Stands at about seven feet and is quite huge. Has trouble fitting into most places. Elemental Affinity: Earth elemental, though sometimes his personality doesn't really match and makes him seem more Fiery. Bio: Karnage is not from this world. He has no home here, no name for himself which others would know him for, and is something of a paradox. How he came to be here first started when he went into a foray into a hellish realm that, in his world, is called The Inferno. Being a regular at traversing the plane of demons and sin, he had not expected to run across a strange portal, seemingly operating under it's own power. As a professor of his brand of magic, which involved demons and the Inferno, Karnage was all too willing to experiment on the portal. But his curiosity would be his undoing; interacting with power he had little knowledge of, he was forced into the Portal and thrown across the universes and put into worlds vastly different from his own. But it was not all too bad. Many of the worlds he traveled was, at the very least, functional for him. Each world had it's own form of magic that made his own largely ineffective, but it was a learning experience. Despite still be unsure of what had happened, Karnage took advantage of the unknown and began to chronicle the events he went through. He discovered many new worlds and cultures, and used his relative immortality (Or agelessness as it would be) to learn as much as he can in these worlds, writing down his knowledge in journals for future references. He has visited worlds were magic has declined but technology reigns, worlds were mortals traverse the skies in boats, places were magic is innate and has ascended mortal kind to to the level of Deities, and to a place that he has hypothesis was "Pre-Tiien", also known as Earth. He also has put more research into the portals which he traverses these worlds through, which he dub's "Rifts". By going to places with chaotic (Often demonic) influences, he can crossover into other continuities and universes, or perhaps even into the past or future of his current world or another. His current foray has brought him to the land of RUNE, though there seems to be a mishap that he had never experienced before. After leaving a world ruled by parasitic lifeforms who invade the bodies of their hosts and mutant them, Karnage chose to flee before he too joined their masses. But when he went through the Rift, he found himself inside a tree. And not any tree; some sort of holy tree which not only suppressed his demon magic (If this world was capable with his brand of magic) but was also incredibly sturdy, and no amount of thrashing could free him. He shouted for help, but no one came. For years he was trapped in that tree, stewing in his own madness. Madness that gave hims strength. He began to leak his mind and spirit to the tree, to take control of it as an extension of himself. It was not a quick process however; it took him thirty years before he could fully assimilate with the tree. But when he did, he began the creature you see now; the titanic being of nature, controlled by an aberration of time and space. And now he seeks answers to how he came to be, and how to return him back to his true form. Personality: Karnage is a surly and generally unpleasant person. As a orc/demon double whammy, he was very cruel and evil, thinking nothing of the ramification of doing what he wants. But fortunately for others, what he wants is usually pretty harmless; mostly to be left alone to pursue his interests, which are mostly academical. A pursuer of knowledge, a full-time student of life, and an occasional teacher of slaughter and rape, Karnage is also a bit scholarly and interested in learning more about the world around him, or putting his knowledge into use and creating something for himself. And while he has a rather brutal disposition towards people in general, he is capable of compassion and kindness when it suits him. Often is rather charitable and generous, though he'd hide it with lies or plays down their worth in order to maintain a sense of superiority while still assisting those who are in need of his help. Total tsundere. Skills: Thanks to spending much of his immortal life educating himself, Karnage has many skills in many professions. Unfortunately due to his immortal life but not an immortal brain capacity, he also has forgotten a lot of what he can do. Luckily he has journals which he can use to help jog his memory of the many things he's done in the past. Not that many of those skills are particularly helpful or even possible, given that he is largely unfamiliar with how he can use his current body. In this current body however, he with very, very strong. He has incredibly high natural armor and the strength to crush buildings, and that's just with his not-a-giant-club right arm. With his club arm he could count as some sort of siege weapon with the force he can put into it. Additionally, his body seems to be capable of some sort of regeneration magic, though he's not sure if this is due to being a tree or the magic charms and possible holy connection the tree posses. He is capable of "Communicating" with plant life and fungi, which he finds immensely useful as they tend to hear everything and are quite willing to share their knowledge with him. He seems to be capable of some sort of magic which reminds him of Herbamancy of his world, though he loath to use the magic due to it serving as a reminder of a person he has a rather disdainful relationship with. Equipment: Stored inside his torso is Karnage's travel bag, which contains his journals and trinkets from his past. It also contains a [url=http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/9393/doubleaxe.gif]Double Orc Axe[/url], the weapon which he has used for most of his adventures, as well as a few magical potions of various effects. However Karnage is unaware that his torso contains these things. He does know that his stump arm grows magical mushrooms that can be used to increase the metabolism of those who eats it to astronomical levels depending on the amount eaten. While this can be detrimental to a person's health, if they have a steady supply of food, they can utilizing this metabolism by constantly eating said food and use it to regenerate from injuries. I.e. Put some of this stuff on your food and you can restore your HP by eating. Other: It has been observed that, while it is fully possible for Karange to die in any world he arrives in, there may be other Karnages traversing the universe like him. He has met a few and assimilated their knowledge and dominance, though he still doesn't know the full ramifications of his actions, if any.
