Archetype: Demi-God
Name: SURD / Avatar of SURD
Alias: THE FIRST FLAME, THE FLAMEBRINGER / The Flamecaller
Age: 14,000,000,000 / 54
Powers:
In SURD form:
-Fire breath
-Smoke breath
-Super-strength
-Ability to set things aflame by touching them
-Ability to regenerate by channeling energy from sunlight
-A large, flaming sword
-Skin as hard as obsidian, and as durable as thick leather
-A super-heated body, that evaporates most liquids, and melts most solids upon contact
-Can grant free-thought to any open flame, allowing it to walk freely around (imagine a candle's flame jumping off of the candle, and walking down the table)
In Avatar form:
-Fire-breath
-Smoke-breath
-Ability to regenerate by channeling energy from any open flame
-Can sense the location of open flames
-Can temporarily summon SURD's powers through chants and rituals
-Can transform into SURD by channeling the sun's energy
Weaknesses: SURD can only maintain his Demi-God form while in sunlight. He has to maintain contact with the sun's energy, or he'll return to his Avatar form, where he's basically just a wizard. SURD also still feels pain, and can be knocked around by a large enough force. Gods and Demi-Gods will be able to delay and distract him for periods of time, and he will grow tired. He needs to channel the sun's energy to revitalize himself.
Alignment: Villain
Personality: Hot-headed, nostalgic, driven, inspired, patient
Appearance:
In SURD form: 20 feet tall
A giant humanoid creature, with eyes as bright as the sun. His hair and beard consist of living flames, lashing out from his face. His skin is black and rough as coal, with veins of magma glowing through. His clothing consists of a sheet of smoke, that wraps around his lower torso, and bellows behind him like a cape. His feet leave a blackened pit wherever he steps.
In Avatar form: 5'9"
A hobbled, sinister man. Where his eyes once were, two burn-marks remain, yet he somehow is able to see. His skin is a sickly shade of grey, as though coated with a layer of ash. His beard is long and black, and hasn't been trimmed in countless years. He wears faded cotton clothes, with a long, hooded black cloak over-top. A lit cigarette hangs from his mouth at all times.
BRIEF Bio:
In the beginning, there was no matter. Only the forces of fire and ice, waging war on one another, from opposite ends of the universe. As the battle raged on, the heat of SURD, god-king of the fire, melted away at the flesh of YMIR, god-king of the ice. This created the water of life, from which came the first humans. Ancient Norse legends tell that the first men slew YMIR, and his rotting body became the matter of the universe, including the Earth. From his grave, sprouted YGGDRASIL, the World Tree, that connected the realm of the Gods to the realm of Man.
Without an opponent to rage against, SURD fell into a deep, purposeless sadness, and retreated deep into the roots of YGGDRASIL. Now, after billions of years of contemplation and slumber, SURD is ready to return. He sees the life that spawned from YMIR's body as an extension of YMIR himself, and believes his purpose isn't yet complete, until he slays the offspring of YMIR, his eternal rival.
Of course, the universe is far colder now, than it was when SURD commanded his army, and the atmosphere of Earth protects it from the majority of the sun's power (and by extension, SURD's power). SURD will have to channel his power through a host, living within Earth's atmosphere.
Storylines:
SURD has one goal, and one goal only. If you wish to help him exterminate all life in the universe, go ahead. Otherwise, run or fight. Of course, I'm open to conflicts, fight scenes, and dialogs with The Avatar of SURD. He's a bit more human.
