[b][u]Species[/u][/b] Know as a Daemon to most beings among the more orderly and physically stable planes of existence, Alastor is technically a Laizu. A seemingly supernatural being composed of shadow and tainted blood who hails from the dimension of Chaazim, a lightless and desolate realm sitting beneath a churning sea of ashen clouds whose surface is dotted with black stone monoliths, bridges, and strange techno organic structures. These are the vast cities from which the Umbral Lords, the most powerful members of Laizu society, command the plane and exert their terrible power. [b][u]Factional Alignment[/u][/b] While still technically having ties with the other Laizu living in Chaazim via his status as a member of their race, Alastor is practically unaffiliated with them in every other way and is ultimately loyal only to himself. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Energy Vampire[/b] - Since Alastor is constantly expending the energy stored within his true form to keep his body in its enhanced condition, he must naturally absorb this same energy from the environment in order to survive. However, since the mortal plane is vastly different from his home realm, this chaotic energy that he needs to feed off of is practically nonexistent, only being produced and found in one place... Humanity. So in order to get this vital force he must drain others of their energy, or life force as it is most commonly known, via skin to skin contact. And while he does technically get more energy from killing his victims when he drains them, he does not actually need it, easily being able to survive off of several small feedings from a large variety of people over a long period of time. Generally those he does feed from will feel a bit lightheaded, but usually nothing worse than that. It's only when he tries to drain more than the person can give that they [I]really[/I] start to feel the effects, which are usually overpowering sensations of burning, weakness, and extreme severe pressure, usually in the cranial region. [b][u]Strengths[/u][/b] [b]Cunning[/b] - Even among his own kind, who are already a bunch of treacherous backstabbers, Alastor is considered to be a highly cunning individual. And is renowned, even to this day, for his involvement in the War of The Fivelands, in which he played all five lords participating into believing their own troops and servants were planning betrayal, causing them to not only try and destroy each other, but those under them as well. It only took a couple of weeks, but soon enough he was marching into the ruined and smoking remains of their former strongholds and claiming them as his own. [b]Intellectual[/b] - Alastor, being as old as he is and having played the longest game of political intrigue one could imagine back in his home realm, is an extremely intelligent being who can easily outsmart almost any foe that dares to stand in his way and think his way out of seemingly impossible situations. [b]Determined[/b] - Alastor is a very determined being, especially after being exiled from his home realm. He will do whatever is necessary to get back and reclaim his lost status and authority. It is this determination that drives and motivates him to see his goals come to fruition no matter what. [b]Enhanced Physiology[/b] - Although he was sentenced by the other lords to live out the rest of his considerably shortened life within the confines of a normal human body, Alastor's body is still better than that of most humans thanks to the small amounts of ambient energy within his true form that leak out into his physical one and is capable of many great feats such as quicker healing, improved vision, enhanced hearing, and a higher level of resilience just to name a few. [b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b] [b]Arrogant[/b] - Being a lord from another realm, Alastor is a naturally a very arrogant being and it is this reason that the other lords were able to capture and banish him to our world. For despite his great cunning and intelligence, they found it very easy to play into his ego by submitting to his rule and making it seem as though he had finally won their great game when, in reality, they were simply setting him up for the kill. [b]Out of His Element[/b] - As a creature from another plane of existence, Alastor is quite confused by ordinary things that human beings are used to such as pancakes or cars, as his kind have no need of such things in their home realm since they subsist on a diet composed mainly of ambient energy in the environment and move about via thought based propulsion. [b]Say Hello to Mortality[/b] - Unlike in his home plane of Chaazim, where he could live indefinitely simply by consuming ambient energy in the environment around him, he must now rely on physical food and drink for sustenance as well as the energy he drains from living beings to a certain extent. If he wishes to keep his enhanced body and the slightly longer lifespan it offers that is. In addition to this he must also sleep and use the bathroom. Two thing's he did not have to do back home while in his true form. [b][u]Age[/u][/b] 4.6 Billion Years Old. [b][u]Physical Description[/u][/b] Although his true form is one of shadow, blood, and demonic horror, Alastor's human form is much more visually tolerable, albeit a bit more intimidating and distinguished looking than that of most other homo-sapiens males, which is understandable given his overall appearance and how he chooses to present himself. After all who wouldn't be at least somewhat intimidated by a six foot tall, 196.2 pound man with softly glowing violet eyes, pale skin, shoulder length raven black hair, a light beard and moustache, and a slim but muscular build who wears fancy clothes and walks about town with a dragon pommeled cane and an air of undeniable authority? [b][u]Alignment[/u][/b] Lawful Evil. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] A cold, calculating, and utterly manipulative being, Alastor couldn't care less about those in the mortal plane be they human or another kind creature entirely. Seeing them only as tools to be used for his own ends, he will use whatever means necessary to win a persons trust, even if it means he must stoop to playing nice or pretending to be one's friend and, in some cases, lover. But do not be fooled. Arrogant and selfish to a fault, Alastor's only concern is for himself, making everyone else secondary in his eyes. Though now that he's trapped in a human form, whose to say he won't return to Chaazim a changed man? [b][u]Backstory[/u][/b] Having been "born", or formed rather, from the chaotic energy constantly being produced and propagated throughout the realm by Sai-Zen Conduits, not much can be said of Alastors younger years other than the fact that, at a very young age so to speak, he had quite an avid interest in the political schemes and plots being carried out by the Umbral Lords that were in power at the time. Eventually, after years of watching and slowly advancing up the Laizu societal ladder, Alastor finally became a Lord in his own right and ruled over a rather small province in the far west. A nameless and wild place, even by Laizu standards, known for its constant ash storms and eternally shifting terrain. Of course this was not enough for the ambitious young lord, and he eventually went on to become fully immersed in the great political games of the other lords, using his vast cunning and intellect to outsmart and thwart them for millions upon millions of years. Moving from realm to realm, rulership to rulership, Alastor took one province after the other, slowly absorbing them into his singular empire. Of course all good things must eventually come to an end, and such was the case with Alastor and the mighty kingdom he had built for himself. For while he may have been practically unsurpassed in intelligence and cunning, he was sorely lacking in humility. It was this lack of humility, this illogical amount of ego and pride, that ended up leading to his downfall. The other lords, intent on regaining their former power and authority, played to Alastors ego, slowly lulling him into a false sense of security which they ultimately used to betray him. When he was least expecting it, the other lords gathered their forces and stormed his keep and marched into his throne room, rallying those lower in the society to their cause as they did so. Declaring Alastor a tyrant and usurper, the other lords used their combined might to create a mortal shell, similar in appearance and function to the meatsuits worn by the primitive humans living upon the Earth. That odd world of order and stability that the Laizu had visited in ages past. It was within this shell that they imprisoned him, forcing him to live out the rest of his considerably shortened life in a limited husk that was trapped within a rather limited realm. Once he was successfully bound within his prison, the other lords joined their powers together once more and tunneled through dimensions until reaching Earth. Upon arrival, they cast him into the open rift and into a whole new world... [/color][/center][/hider]
