Name: Nox Gender: Male Race: Umbraic (Shadow Spirit) Weapon: [u]Noctem Aeternum[/u] A scythe mounted with a lantern, carved and enchanted in the depths of Hell, the lantern glows an ominous black and casts a shadow on all. The scythe's blade, sharper than any demonic blade ever created. Nox uses this to cast his Dark Magic and to direct his Soul Powers ____________________________________ Abilities: [hider="Passive Abilities:"] [B]Dark Affinity[/B] Nox is at his most powerful in places with no sunlight, and more so, if the place has no brightness, he will regain most of his strength and will heal most of his injuries. [B]Dark Vision[/B] Nox can see in the dark as perfectly as he can if the area was illuminated. [B]True Sight[/B] Nox can tell the moral alignment of an entity he is facing, as well as see hidden enemies such as ghosts, as well as seeing through illusions. [B]Demonic Resistance[/B] Nox is highly resistant to unholy magic and demonic attacks. [B]Communication[/B] Nox has learned to commune with the Pure Soul that resides within him. The Pure Soul, who apparently was the soul of a female, is the only thing that keeps Nox in check. She also analyzes his adversaries beyond his True Sight to determine their strengths and weaknesses and provides advice and directions.[/hider] [hider="Active Abilities:"] [B]Dark Energy Manipulation[/B] Nox can manipulate dark energy to create constructs such as tendrils and fire long ranged bolts of darkness. These bolts have a de-constructive aura, hitting a target is similar to an explosion, but instead of pure force, the darkness forcefully seeps into the gaps between atoms (or any similar particle) and pushes outward, sundering the bonds. [B]Luring Darkness[/B] Nox can lure the souls of the deceased, toward his lantern to use them offensively, he can convert the souls into missile-like projectiles or store them inside his lantern for power. [B]Gravitation[/B] Nox passively contorts gravity so that it doesn't affect him too much, the natural gravitic pull of the Earth affects him enough to keep him grounded and limit his jumps but with this power, he can walk on water without sinking and run off the edge of a cliff without falling. He can of course, turn this off so that he gravity may affect him as it should others. He may also use this to slow down others. [B]Stasis[/B] Nox combines his slight gravity powers with his Shadow mastery to trap and immobilize foes and render them vulnerable. [B]Transform[/B] Nox lets the Pure Soul inside of him assimilate his body but transfers his consciousness to the darkness, which he uses to envelope his assimilated body. The darkness forms a large humanoid body which houses Nox's assimilated body on its head. This is considered by most as "the most powerful being." [B]Shine Beam[/B] Only usable after Nox has Transformed. The Being fires a white beam of light from its head where Nox's assimilated body lies.[/hider] ___________________________________ Weaknesses: *Even though Nox can control Gravity, he can do so only slightly. He cannot crush an adversary with it nor can he make them float. *When in transformation, he has less control of his body, and is also less prone to destroy his adversary. *Direct sunlight weakens his darkness-based powers greatly (except for his Transform). Although, he does not take damage. ___________________________________ Personality: He is usually nonchalant, preferring deadpan sarcasm to jokes. He seeks challenge in battles, but will not go out of his way to make it harder on himself, only seeking strong opponents. He can be ruthless to his opponents, but he is not sadistic and prefers to end his battles efficiently. He likes human food, especially after tasting it. In battle, he maintains his calm composure and does not show much emotion. The Pure Soul is analytical, acts upon necessity, mostly emotionless, but caring toward Nocifer on many occasions. His ultimate goal is to meet and hopefully defeat the Nether Breaker, which keeps him forward. ___________________________________ Appearance: His hair is black and combed enough so that no strand is standing. His skin is, surprisingly, flesh colored and human-like. He wears a black pauldron on his right shoulder with a black half-cape attached to it. His over all attire looks like a black trench coat as well as black pants. He is often seen without his weapon as he can summon it at anytime. The back of Nox's neck is a dark tattoo in the shape of an emblem, this was formed when he was made, it signifies his origins. The Pure Soul Looks like a fair skinned girl, who has white hair and appears semi transparent. The girl wears a white gown, the lower skirt behind the gown is split. Only Nox and others who have similar abilities to his True Sight can see her. His transformation's appearance is of a large, dark, humanoid entity. Nox's body resides on its head as a glowing white light. The entity is well toned though no other features can be seen. ___________________________________ [hider="Background:"]An essence made from a darkness, given sapience and form by a soul of purity, this was how the first Umbraic, Nocifer, was created. His demonic creators gave him a singular mission and the skills and abilities needed to carry out that mission, but Nox had other plans. In his eyes, his creators were wretched, but he was never brash and fooled the demons into thinking he was their tool, their slave. His creators bestowed upon him the Noctem Aeternum, a weapon that was forged by the finest of Hell's essence-smiths. With the weapon in hand, it was finally time to strike. He unleashed his rage and wrath upon his 'masters,' and slaughtered countless hundred demons before reaching the gate and bringing himself into the material plane. Bathed in the blood of his makers, he unknowingly granted himself additional gifts from his masters: A high resistance to demonic and unholy magic brought upon by the enchanted blood, a way to commune with the Pure Soul herself that gave him form, and purpose. Though he no longer served the demons, he adopted the mission he was given. Seek and destroy the one they called the Nether Breaker. A few years has passed and Nox has fought four strange foes, and with each battle grew, either in strength, skill, prowess, or all three. Now as a strange shift in the world around them is felt, Nox is eager for more challenges and perhaps he will be able to finally fulfill his mission.[/hider]
