[center][h2][color=Maroon][b]Ialu[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [hider=Avarice Incarnate] [u]NAME[/u] Ialu [u]ALIAS[/u] Godblessed, The Accursed Warrior, King of Men, Chieftain of the Strong Tribe, Lord of Garakai and the North, The Mighty Warlord, Avarice Incarnate [u]GENDER[/u] Male [u]RACE[/u] Human Demigod [u]APPEARANCE[/u] Ialu looks like a normal enough human, albeit a gigantic and hulking one. His eyes are a cold blue, his hair chestnut, and his skin tanned. He has two small scars on his face from when he was first attacked by Dyun and had not yet acquired the near invincibility that came later in his life. There is a massive and grotesque scar on his stomach from where he was stabbed by Viscardi's sword, though this scar is gradually fading away unlike the others. [u]DOMAIN (Portfolio)[/u] Passion (Avarice) [u]DOMAIN (Portfolio) DESCRIPTION/EXPLANATION[/u] Ialu is rather volatile by nature, which was only exaggerated by his contact with the Sword of Chaos and ingestion of Vestec's chaotic blood. He has fits of every sort of passion, from rage to pride. His domain of passion also allows him to wield a great deal of power over others' emotions, though he rarely uses except when trying to rile up his warriors. In any case, his fits of passion act as a catalyst for his magical power. He can channel rage and coalesce it into physical form, flinging pure hatred at something to cause unadulterated destruction or be more subtle by sowing the seeds of ire, driving others berserk. Those are just some examples; as he grows stronger, he will be able to do far more and with different emotions. His favored and most powerful form of passion is Avarice (in this case, an unholy combination of material greed, lust, and most of all ambition). His affinity for and open embrace of his inner avarice allows him to excell at growing in power or achieving what he sets his mind to. Beyond simply having an uncanny intuition in the form of inexplicable urges that passively guide him, he also has the pronounced power of Sight. The Sight is a force that exists only in his mind, taking on the form of brilliant golden light that only Ialu can see. The Sight is a more conscious version of his urges, with the golden light forming paths that lead him to inevitably find whatever it is that he wants. For instance, if Ialu set his mind to becoming rich, the Sight would appear. His eyes would gleam gold with greed, and the Sight would manifest itself to him as a trail of golden light. Ialu never knows what will happen as he follows the path, as it is a force with a mind of its own and while it inevitably helps him to find a way to achieve things, it can do so in convoluted ways. Sometiems it's direct, though. Keepign with the example of Ialu wanting to be rich, the Sight might lead him to a mountain absolutely laden with deposits of gold just waiting to be mined. [u]HISTORY[/u] A mysterious entity inserted some of its essence into a human woman, who then gave birth to Ialu. In three days he grew to adulthood. Displaying fearsome stature, strength, and fighting prowess, he also proved nigh invulnerable to most forms of assault. He named his Creator-God the Mighty One, declared himself that God's foremost champion, and began spreading the worship of the Mighty One. Seemingly ageless, over the years he grew extremely powerful through his own work. Eventually, though, he had outside assistance. The Chaos God known as Vestec masqueraded himself as the Mighty One and ordered Ialu with the false authority that his ruse gave him. Eventually, Vestec granted Ialu even more power with an offering of his own blood. Not knowing that the blood would subtly corrupt him, Ialu drank deep. [u]PERSONALITY[/u] To enemies, Ialu is not unlike a stormcloud: tumultuous, unpredictable, and dangerous. He likes to be in a position where he's looming impossibly above his lessers, and he's often caught with a menacing and prideful view towards those that can never match his strength. To friends and those loyal to him, he is the stalwart tree that you cling onto to weather the storm of life. He may sway or waver at times, but he does not break. He is as honorable to those such people as he is treacherous to his enemies, and will genuinely seek to protect those that follow him if at all possible. He also looks highly upon the ambitious and would not be opposed to helping them ascend just as he once did, but beware: Ialu is envious, and cannot help but secretly loathe any that rival or supersede his own station. [u]ALIGNMENT[/u] Lawful Neutral, gradually leaning more towards Lawful Evil. [hider=More thorough description of his morality]Ialu cares for himself and his own interests and advancement over all else, though he has no hatred of others. He actually has a decent amount of empathy, though he is growing increasingly indifferent to bringing about suffering to others if it means advancing himself. In any case, he doesn't actively dislike others and is only sadistic when under the influence of the Sword of Chaos or when overcame by strong feelings of anger. He is Lawful because in every action that he does that might bring about harm, he does so purposefully and for a reason. He is not needlessly cruel or mindlessly evil.[/hider] [u]ITEMS[/u] -Not an item per se, but he controls Garakai as well as the Strong Tribe and all of its vassal tribes. -He has his own house called the Mighty Cottage. -The Sword of Chaos, an insidious weapon crafted by Vestec.* -Armor made from the hide and scales of slain dragons. -Other swords and well as spears made from dragon's teeth.* *Ialu is currently cursed to be unable to wield weapons. While those weapons remain in his possession from earlier days, he can no longer use them effectively. [u]ABILITIES[/u] Beyond what is described in the section on his domain and portfolio, Ialu is a formidable warrior and decent tactician. While cursed by Ferghus to never wield weapons again, Ialu can make terrifying use of his Wi. A master at the traditional telekinesis as well as Vistoc, he also shares the Strong Tribe's ability to use telekinesis to break bones, destroy organs, and directly inflict all sorts of bodily harm on foes. As a demigod, his Wi is far stronger than normal humans could hope to achieve. [/hider] [hider=Ialu, the Hero (His original CS, now outdated)] [b]NAME:[/b] Ialu [b]ALIAS:[/b] The Godblessed, The Wanderer [b]GENDER:[/b] Male [b]RACE:[/b] Human [b]AGE:[/b] A week old. [b]APPEARANCE:[/b] Ialu's eyes are a piercing blue, and his face bears two scars from that first fateful night in the woods when he was assailed by two Dyun. His hair is chestnut in color and unkempt, and he has a form worthy of any hero: well muscled and about seven feet tall, he is like a hulk when compared to normal humans. [hider=Ialu][img]http://i.imgur.com/5K6RHvp.png[/img][/hider] Overall is not unlike the other human men in appearance. They are all crude and wild looking, and like the other humans Ialu will most likely continue to look like this until some god takes pity and helps civilize them. [b]HISTORY:[/b] Ialu was not amongst the first humans to be created. Rather, he was born to a small community of sorts, a group of people living inside a cave. Though his mother strangely enough claimed to have never so much as touched a man, she nonetheless one day felt a great pain and from that suffering Ialu entered the world. From the moment of his birth, he was marked as being different; at least twice the size of any other baby that the tribe had seen, the childbirth killed his mother. From nearly the moment he entered the world he was able to walk. Somewhat afraid of this strange boy, the others in the cave tried to avoid him. That was just as well; as by the third day he had vanished, having wander away from the cave. In those three days he had already grown and matured to adulthood. On his very first night alone he was of course attacked in the forests by those savage creatures that plagued humans, but with his bare hands he was able to slay his assailants. It was then that he realized his purpose: slay the monsters. Without thinking and without any knowledge of how to do so, he crafted a crude spear with a flint tip. He has wandered the lonely forests for the past several days, slaying monsters with his spear. PERSONALITY: For now, he exists for only one thing and is entirely defined by that task: eradicate the monsters. When that goal is done or his insatiable urge to fulfill it leaves him, perhaps he will develop an actual personality and do something else. [b]ALIGNMENT:[/b] Lawful Neutral is probably the closest. Ialu looks out for himself first and is absolutely driven by his own motivations. Still, for now he has some feelings of sympathy for humans and feels that his purpose is to protect them. [b]ITEMS:[/b] A crudely made spear, a club (little more than a thick stick), and some clothing fashioned from the pelts of animals. [b]ABILITIES:[/b] As a Hero imbued with some small amount of divine power, he has superhuman strength and reflexes. The most savage of blows seem to struggle to so much as bruise or cut his flesh, and such minor wounds heal within mere hours if not minutes. While he has never tested his fortitude's limits he may very well be nearly invincible to anything but the might of gods. Strangely, he also seems to have an intuition that always tells him what to strive for and what his goals should be. He also seems to have an uncanny ability to devise plans and find a way to bring them into fruition. As time goes on, this power could develop further. Also worth noting is that as a human, gifts from the gods that affect humanity will affect him as well. If a god teaches men to speak or cast magic, Ialu will acquire these abilities too.[/hider]
