His hair is black but streaked with silver since his birth, and is usually left wild unless he is being formal, when he then brushes them back with a single braid on his left side. His eyes are greyish green and hold a sharp, piercing quality that makes people think he is always scrutinising them. Due to the highly spiritual nature of his tribe, he was forced to wear the grey robes adorned with straps, chains and strings of a 'Ashen One' for most of his life, so he continues to wear them to spite their memory. He uses them to hide a multitude of scars from burns, cuts and whips he was given from the Shaman's attempts to 'expel his darkness'. He is marked with his own [url=http://pathfinderwiki.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/9/9b/Areshkagal.png/150px-Areshkagal.png]personal mark[/url], not that he aware of that, carved into his skin at the base of his neck, just above his left collar bone. As his powers are used, the black markings spread like a disease along his veins and arteries and the skin around them discolour, becoming more grey as it gets closer to his mark. They have already spread across his left shoulder and his neck, just stopping below his jawline.[/color][/indent] [ ⍚ ] [b][color=Purple][b]P[/b][/color][sub][color=black] E R S O N A L I T Y[/color][/sub][/b][hr] [indent][color=cccccc]When one first meets Khyrian, he is seen as cold and cynical, seemingly uncaring to form meaningful bonds and only seeing people as tools for his own survival or obstacles to be dealt with. He is indifferent to any suffering or injustice around him, but is also uncaring of any good or just deeds. He holds a deep resentment of those that practice in any spiritual arts due to his past but will refrain from any action unless they attempt to act upon his 'dark aura'. He will then, due to his past, react very violently despite any onlookers or future consequences. His hidden side is where he has stored the emotions that he feels are bothersome or inconvenient, choosing to ignore them to improve the chance of his survival. Those that can get close to him will discover about his many regrets, and can learn how he laments the death of his mother. He views his birth as his worst betrayal of her, but sees the path of suicide would spite the life she gave him and she herself died for. If this ideal is insulted, he becomes enraged and will lash out, often not stopping until the person that enraged him is dead or brutally wounded.[/color][/indent] [ ⍚ ] [b][color=purple][b]B[/b][/color][sub][color=black] I O G R A P H Y[/color][/sub][/b][hr] [indent][color=cccccc]Khyrian was born into a fairly large and powerful south-eastern mountain tribe, the Kurthos Clan. Like most clans, they raised strong warriors and skilled hunters, but were also a spiritually guided clan devoted to following the gods that govern the natural world. As such they had a prominent respect for the word of the Tribe Shaman, who was in charge of blessing the Tribe's hunting trips and protecting them from harsh spirits. When Khyrian was born to a widowed huntress, the residual energies from Daethaneus marked the boy and he was branded an 'Ashen One', a child cursed with the evil of the world. He was raised by his mother, pushed to the outskirts of the tribe, until he was old enough to survive without her, where she was then executed by the chieftain. After her death, Khyrian was put through 'purification rituals', where he was tortured and starved with barely enough food to survive until the standard coming-of-age rituals came for the boys born in the same year at aged 15. The tribesmen forced him from his home and he was forced to travel alone. After a half-days travel, he stumbled across a tribe rivalling the Kurthos in strength and numbers, The Pathel Tribe. Without a word, he walked into their village and his eyes turned purple. Within minutes, the entirety of the tribe was locked in a enraged state directed at the Kurthos, Khyrian watching it all with dead purple eyes. That night, the Pathel Clan attacked the Kurthos in force with Khyrian as their guide. the Kurthos were soon overcame by the same rage and the two clans slaughtered each others, leaving no survivors after Khyrian used a spear and a bow to finish off anyone left. He left the village behind as it burned to the ground, never looking back. Since then he has lived as a hunter and mercenary, living off of animals he killed and selling their skins for supplies.

He makes no effort to hide his role as a dark god and is often wrapped in a thin miasma of swirling black and purple. Whenever he travels to the mortal lands he is always armed with that era's most devastating weapon, twisted and warped to his own dark image, and when within the heavens he carries a signature longbow or spear, both baring his [url=http://pathfinderwiki.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/9/9b/Areshkagal.png/150px-Areshkagal.png]personal mark[/url].

His irises are heterochromatic, both coloured like creeping black storm clouds with flashes of purple behind them. his hair is cropped to an inch above his shoulders, black and untamed with streaks of silver.

In his anger, he struck down his father but failed to take his place, instead his energy leaked into the mortal lands and consumed a small continent. His rage and murderous hatred infested their minds and the land was consumed in a gruesome war that lasted over a century. During this time, he would freely wander the land, slaughtering anyone that didn't offer themselves as his followers. Those that did were twisted into grim demonic warriors called [url=http://www.wallpapersxl.com/wallpapers/1920x1080/demon-warrior/1435269/demon-warrior-cats-guild-wars-a-girl-killer-undead-p-os-with-1435269.jpg]the Thyt'r[/url]. The war came to an end after a century as Daethaneus and his Thyt'r swept across the land in a final, devastating wave of slaughter and death. The land was rendered uninhabited, the entire continent seemingly disappearing from the world, and This event became known as 'the Lost War', a war that was lost to time. When he returned to the heavens, he was envious of the Starkissed. He wished for the bonds and affections, but in time became bitter and jaded until he began to tear them apart, killing one to sink the other into despair. But he soon realised that those without successors would simply be re-born and their Starkissed bonds would become even more joyful with each re-union. He then came to conspire with the rest of his kind, the Gods and Goddesses that thrived off of the darkness and depravity, to curse them with an empty mortality. He was chosen among them to warden them and keep them trapped, cursing himself with his own mark and descending to Earth. He also shares a spiritual connection with Raydark, God of Blood and Bone. During his rage, he breathed his dark energy into Raydark's mortal body at the behest of the necromancer, giving him life and taking root in his empty soul. This energy compelled the dark beast to aid him in his slaughter, until he grew evermore hungry and consumed the stars. Daethaneus coerced one of the weaker gods to be consumed as they tried to stop him, and was the first to welcome the newly ascended Raydark into the heavens. They came to conspire together, and eventually both took on mortal forms and descended on the Earth.[/color][/indent] [center][hr][hr][h1][color=black]𝔐y 𝔊ifts 𝔚[i]𝔦𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔫[/i][/color][/h1][hr][hr][/center] [ ⍚ ] [b][color=purple][b]S[/b][/color][sub][color=black] K I L L S E T[/color][/sub][/b][hr][i][color=cccccc]Three General skills to start and up to two combat abilities.
