[quote=@Ashevelendar] [@dragonmancer] So you could say this RP has a small part of NRP , in it ? [/quote] Indeed, I also plan for heroes to be the main focus later on after all the pieces are set. [quote=@Legion02] Yup! Another Asivar but a vastly different one. Who wanted an evil god again? But this guy is, most certaintly, not nice. [hider=Asivar, lord of bloodshed] [center][h1]Asivar[/h1][/center] [b]Title:[/b] The Divine Huntsman, The Bloodsoaked One, Lord of Hunt, God of Battle [b]Domain:[/b] Bloodshed and the hunt [b]Powers:[/b] In his physical manifestation very few things can completely harm Asivar. With his thick suit of armor, strong bow, noble steed, and blood dripping blade he is more likely to mow you over than anything. With him, he can summon the predators or the strongest of the prey animals to lead his charge. Turning an attack by Asivar in a true pandemonium of animals and beasts that few civilizations can withstand for long. Thankfully this seldom happens. Mostly he will appear as a great champion, leading the local warriors to victory against all odds. Those near him, willing to fight, are infused with a strange vigor and bloodthirst. Suddenly nothing else matters than to bury their axe, sword, club or stone in the neck of the enemy and let the glorious red liquid feed the thirsty ground. He can grant hunters their wishes of straight arrows and true hits, taking down the animal they desire. But he is not only the patron saint of hunters and warriors but also of predators and prey. Sometimes he blesses creatures of the woods or plains. This makes them faster, stronger, sharper. These are tests for his true followers. The general rule of Asivar's power is that he makes creatures stronger, better and faster. His own presence enhances this blessing. [b]Vulnerabilities:[/b] As a god fed by spilled blood. Peace will weaken him. If he walks ground that hasn't been fed with blood and bones for years he will start to feel thirsty and slow. His armor will start weighing tonnes and he might even take it off. This is the point when you should strike. Not with a blade, of course. But with chains. The lord of the hunt and battle hates nothing more than to be chained up and held behind bars. Weakening him further to the point that he slips into a coma. [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://feelgrafix.com/data_images/out/17/915129-warrior-wallpaper.jpg[/img] [b]Creations:[/b] [i]Valkeries[/i] - Beautiful human women, with white feathered wings but clad in heavy armor. They descend from the skies, their home upon a vicious battle. Valkyries are called by the cries and shouts of people fighting. A valkyrie will join the side of the least odds and fights with an inhuman viciousness. At the end of the battle they walk up towards the brave who died, enemy or not, and lift up their souls to bring before their lord. Valkyries have an incredible connection to Asivar and killing one after a battle a is a sure way to get yourself hunted to the end of the world. While not inherently magical, Valkyries have an innate resistance against all magic. As Asivar despises it. They often fight with shield and sword. Though some have known to come down wielding a massive axe or a spear. [i]Shadow wolves[/i] - Strange wolves said to be entirely blessed by Asivar. Shadow wolves move unheard and unseen through the night. With only their glowing eyes to follow. They are fast, dangerous and utterly devastating in an ambush. Shadow wolves fight in a shadepack, running through the woods for fresh kills. It is said that killing a shadow wolf is impossible with arrows. [b]Worshippers:[/b] [i][indent]"Winter approaches, and a hunter spots a deer in the wild. For a week he has been living on berries and sleeping on leaves. Trying to find game to provide for his family in the time of cold. He knocks his arrow and prays that he may hit his mark. A boy stands on makeshift barricade. Over it, not so far stands an army. Screaming in their charge. He holds close to his sick father's pitchfork and prays. An assassin is perched on a rooftop. A simple task: kill him or be killed. He sees the cart of his target wander and prays. All of these people pray for the same one. They pray for survival, for success, to be better than what they are up against.[/indent][/i] Hunters are the main bulk of worshippers of Asivar. The second largest group are warriors, either great who desire to hold on to their greatness or weaklings desiring greatness. Some assassins also pray for the bloodthirsty god so their blade may strike true. Finally, blood-crazed criminals like serial killers are sometimes found covered in symbols of their god. [b]Culture and religion:[/b] There is no center of religion for Asivar. No great city or mighty place. But his shrines and temples are many. The Huntsman Lord has many small places of worship, at edges of the forests for the hunters to pray there. Still, a shrine is not required. Simply a whisper before you release your arrow is often enough to be heard. Should Asivar deem you worthy, he may grant you the wish. Many hunters, having prayed or not before their kill, often thank Asivar for the meat. A common offering in the Asivarian Religion is letting the blood from a creature drain and let it pour onto the ground of the kill. Among more civilized circles like in tribes or villages the huntsman lord is seldom mentioned, but in thought often thanked when a newborn babe is wrapped in new deerskin. On a battlefield a warrior may pray for his survival, for might and should he prove worthy in his heart Asivar may grant it. Many warriors see him as their patron saint. But this can be dangerous from time to time. Warriors invigorated by Asivar's power often desire to feel that power again, and again. They summon the eyes of their god by soaking the ground with more and more blood. Turning them blood-crazed. These warriors are often inhumanly strong but have forsaken any form of humanity. They kill without remorse and slaughter with cheer. In the heat of battle they feel most at home. After a battle, most warriors make a makeshift totem of weapons and armor thanking the lord of battle for their survival. Finally, those too blood-crazed but chained in a peaceful place go into a frenzy and start killing those around them. Serial Killers have been found with makeshift altars in their houses, praying for the eyes of their lord one more time. From time to time though, Asivar calls his champions and warriors for a quest. Often to either slay a beast of his own making or to march against his sibbling's monsters. It has been theorized by the wiser men that should too many blessed, bother hunter and warrior, unite at a certain point, the bloody crusade would know no bounds. It would be a devestating force that could only be defeated by slowing it down enough so the infighting will destroy the Bloody Crusade. [b]Region or locations:[/b] Asivar as the Huntsman Lord's influence is the strongest near forests with lots of game but also predators. In the forest, every prayed whisper can be heard by him. Asivar's influence is widespread over the entire world. Wherever there is a battlefield, there is his power. [b]Personality[/b] Asivar has a bloodlust unrivaled by anything and anyone. He wants nothing more than to see mortal blood be spilled and lives be taken. He is violent and temperamental. Though surprisingly he cares for creation. Especially when from creation massive empires span. But this is false interest. He cares nothing for the well-being of these realms. He simply knows that at some point they will descend into chaos and destruction. And then he can revel in it. The same goes for greedy hunters who kill too much game in forests. He sends his predators after them. There must be a balance at the end of everything. But to him, that does not mean there should be a constant balance. One extreme creates its opposite extreme and thus they lift each other up. [b]Opinions:[/b] to be added [b]Tales:[/b] to be added [/hider] [/quote] Oh boy, we he a good one. A hunter god is always a classic edition, but the fact that he seems to thrive in war or at least violence definitely puts him in an interesting political field, I love it. Accepted.
