[hider=Work in progress]

Hexblade gladiator, outright worshiper of Hades. Long term goals might involve becoming a paladin for his god if he curries enough favor with the lord of the dead or a general for an army of evil. Otherwise, its best just to cut a swathe of dead men and satisfied women in his wake.

[b]Name:[/b]
Octavius Pulcher, "The Dashing Bastard"
[b]Physical Form:[/b] "I put the gore in gorgeous!"

6'6" and 300 of tight body tone. Unarmored, he has a score of scars running him over from a decade in the arenas. His eyes are a fine gray with a catlike [url=http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/UA:Murky-Eyed]shimmer of silver[/url] in the back. 

[b]Abilities:[/b] 
Curse; The cornerstone of the [url=http://www.angelfire.com/pro/demon_1/class_hexblade.htm]hexblade[/url], the ability to lay a witches malicious befuddlement upon intended targets. Not an attack in of itself, it is a go-to weakening of the enemy before engaging. He often pairs the curse with a memorized intimidation to follow up and bring most to cower before finishing them off in a single blow.

Resistance; Like a paladin, he can rely on his sheer strength of will to help shrug off attacks to mind body and soul.

Mettle: Those that he cannot avoid, he tries do bear down and endure, taking the lesser of the worlds woes when he has the chance.


(Item) familiar: Where most would bond to a creature from elsewhere for more power, he has strengthened the bond with his sword to a supernatural level.

Spells: Like a sorcerer, he uses his sheer strength of will to manifest magic in the world. He just severely lacks the dedication most others would possess by this time.


[b]Personality:[/b]
Truly Octavius' greatest strength is his overwhelming charisma, wielded as a weapon as much as his sword. He brings it to bear to cow the most stalwart of enemies and draw up the crowds to a screaming frenzy in the arena. 
He is a [url=http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/UA:Unreactive]patient[/url] man in combat, often letting the others go first before he devastates them.

Relationships: ((If you want to start off with friends or rivals you can. Otherwise this can be filled out as we go along.))
Backstory: ((So what has your character done? How did they arrive at this wretched cave where our Dungeon Keeper is now located?))

[b]Armor[/b]
Made from the hide of a Steel dragon parading around as a priestess to Athena, she was fought and slain on her monthly hunt while she was fat and full of a heard of sheep they had left for her as an ambush. When crafted into armor, he had the choice to make the leather immune to acid or protect the wearer from poison, he took the poison protection. In truth it protects him as a full suit of armor as strong as chainmail but glamored to be debatable levels of leather and hide piecemeal to suit his ego.

[b]Rings[/b]

Two small but simple rings in his line of work, A dwarven ring warded to protect the wearer [url=http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Protection_from_Evil]from evil[/url] is actually a good choice when traveling with evil. The other is as powerful as a ring of invisibility, but far better for him as rather than make him vanish, it makes [url=http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Mirror_image]eight more[/url] of him appear.

[b]Morningstar[/b]
An lesser weapon best put to use when three feet of steel isn't recommended. He really hopes to replace it with a mace of disruption soon enough.

[b]Shield[/b]
There are times when running around half naked with a greatsword isn't the best plans. When he has to play the defensive position, he uses a heavy shield with a depiction of Gaia upon it as she is of the earth as is hades.

[b]Throwing Axe[/b]
When he needs to reach out and touch someone. He is also known to take a moment for himself to relax with all manner of pungent herb or alchemical paste into the bowl on the back.

[hider=His Sword]
His gift from beyond. Once, when he was a much younger lad, he traveled as a squire under a paladin of Hercules and her elderly wizard friend into the keep of a vile necromancer. Unfortunately there is a big difference between necromancer and a newly formed litch! Thinking quickly, the paladin took her bag of holding and threw it over them both to pop it away into a pocket realm for just a few seconds as the squire smashed the Phylactery on the work table. The litch turned to dust within the bag and the paladin sacrificed herself for the greater good. Octavius had an idea. He had the wizard use his magic to transmute the holy cold-iron plate-mail of the paladin to the litch dust and he had a greatsword forged from the coldiron dust. 

This weapon is a Bane of the undead both solid and ghostly. Its supernaturally keen edge can store the simplest of enchantments within its Damascus folds for release at his will.
Why would a worshiper of the god of death have such enmity to the undead? To KEEP them in Tartarus where they belong!

Recently, he came upon a Devil who had a gift for Octavius. It seems the litch he had defeated so long ago had tried to use the phylactery as a bypass from the devils due. If the litch had succeeded it would have been most embarrassing and bad for business. So out of gratitude he offered the man one gift on credit, not the usual freebie sort of thing but the 'finders fee' of a wayward soul. 

Thinking about it, he could easily wish to be the most or the best or the richest... but he had seen how that can bite you in the ass with previous people so he chose to keep it smaller, something he could live without; an extra enchantment on his blade. The two bickered back and forth on the who or what to be done but Octavius was rather stringent on not asking for too much, lest he rely on it too far. 

In the end he got an idea from an assassin he used to know and had a small ruby inset into the pommel of his sword. This ruby would trap the soul of every victim of his sword for later that he could bring back to the devil for more credit. So far, Octavius cant find a problem with the deal and that bothers him.
