Black clothing, black hair, and black eyes, none of which reflect any light. Beneath his pale skin are black veins and black scars, the markings of the peculiar witchcraft that he keeps alive on his body. But other than his face, the rest of his body is rarely shown. As a book has a cover, so does he hide the contents of his own body, and taken at a distance, nothing particular about him stands out. To those with interests in humans, he may be handsome to an extent, 6’4 and well-built, slender but not weak. Closer, however, are those void-like eyes, that gently contemptible sneer. Some swear that he’s a real bastard; others are drawn in by his easy audacity. There is no truth that can be gleaned, however. His forked tongue speaks of the machinations of the city-states, of the developed thoughts of the world-movers easily, but Qantz-Farron does not speak genuinely of his own being. As a book, he is closed.[/quote] [b]Magic[/b][indent] Qantz-Farron is a practitioner of Yusentein Witchcraft, which invokes the power of the dead in exchange for permanently marking the deeds of the dead upon the body of the caster. The spirits of mere mortals, no matter how legendary in life, are not yet sufficient in death to match the might of the divinity of the world, and thus, he still must drink deep from the leylines to recover the masteries of the departed. The scars become substitute for incantations then, similar to the ‘stenciling’ of Primal magics which enable casting speed superior to those reliant on spellbooks and arcane performances, whilst the acquisitions of new magics themselves becomes a much more difficult and painful process. As of now, Qantz-Farron’s magic can perform two effects: [indent][i]Incarnation[/i] enables him to draw on the strength of the fallen, multiplying his physical capabilities to the superhuman levels most trained warriors easily meet. [i]Invocation[/i] enables him to temporarily manifest the forms of the vanquished for singular actions, whether it be the swipe of spectral claws or the bite of a phantom shark.[/indent][/indent] [b]Equipment[/b][indent]A lantern, so that when night falls, others know that he's coming.[/indent] [b]History[/b][indent]It started with a death.
