OKay, so this actually sounds pretty neat so if I am allowed to join, I intend to do so. Once again, new to this whole thing so I've no idea what I'm doing or how to do it, but here goes... Submitted for the approval of [s]The Midnight Society[/s] No wait that's not right... For the approval of the Cult of Lychholme [b]TIAZ, THE WERETIGER[/b] Name: Tiaz. Tigerlord, The Slaver, The Twisted Shaman Title: Lord. Height: 9'8 (Severely hunched over, if he stood tall he'd be almost 12') Weight: Probably about 800 pounds Age: 184. (Magic keeps him young so long as he keeps his magic item with him) Race:Therianthrope. AKA Werebeast. Tiaz is a Weretiger, capable of transforming between a half-man-half-beast form (which he normally keeps) and that of a normal looking human. Tier: Probably High or Medium. Tiaz is a Shaman. A powerful one too. He can cast many spells. Fireballs and lightning bolts, raising the dead, bending the elements to his will and creating explosions among other spells. He's probably equal to a 9th or 10th level D&D Wizard and Cleric. Appearance: Tiaz stays in his wereform at all times. He's massively muscled, but severely hunched and walks with a pronounced limp. His tail is overlong and drags along the ground. One of his legs is bent badly, permanently ruined and keeping him from running. His head and face are basically that of a Tiger's. He wears a heavy cloak, under it he wears a feathered headdress and a clothes much like of the Inca or Aztec people. (Will edit in a pic when I get the chance) Personality: Arrogant to the extreme, he believes Werelords to be the dominate species, and will attempt to enslave or kill anything human or otherwise. He's Intelligent, Wise and extremely cunning. He's manipulative and deceitful along with a large dose of violent rage when he's been pushed too far. Abilities, Talents, Traits, Powers: Psychology. He's excellent at getting into someone's head and bringing out what bothers them most, be it childhood trauma or loss of a loved one. He manipulates people into thinking him the good guy, then turns them on each other, often making stupid aggressors kill each other without lifting to much as a finger. Magic. He's a powerful magician but relies on a item to channel his power. He can't use his abilities effectively without it Necrotic body. He needs no food nor drink as he is no longer truly alive. If he is wounded a black ooze spills from the wounds instead of blood and any limbs he can simply reattache by sewing them back on, Frankenstine style. The only way to kill him is to stab him through the heart with a silver sword or destroy his head, either by cutting it off or splitting it in half or blowing it up etc... Items: His only real valued item is the skull he always holds in one hand. It's that of a overlarge human without a jawbone. It allows him to channel his power and use it effectively, when doing so it glows blue from the eye sockets. It also gave him necrotic abilities, making him nearly impossible to kill History: Tiaz was born in a dense jungle where he was raised in a tribal fashion with other Werelords. Upon reaching adulthood at 20 he left to wander the world. Along the way he developed a hatred for the puny humans and other races who dared oppose him. Eventually he came across a powerful magic skull, hidden in a cave deep in a mountain. Recovering it he gave himself over to the power of the skull, making him immortal, virtually invincible and incredibly powerful. After that he set himself up as a Lord in the mountains, controlling a group of Orcs and humans and taking many slaves. He lived in wanton excess for years with great amounts of food and pleasure until it was brought crashing down by a little Half-Elven girl. She crippled him after escaping her bonds one night, then broke out of his fort. Several months later his fort was attacked by a military strike force and he was forced to flee. He's spent the last half century skulking in the shadows, attempting to build up his forces and find the Half-Elf who ruined his life, so that he may kill her, bring her back and kill her again.
