Okay, I made a pretty quick-n-dirty sample character if anyone is interested in viewing it.

[b]Name:[/b] Lykos Daedalion

[b]Epithets:[/b] Ulysses the Fool, Death's Jester, the Shadowprince, the Mouth of Chaos

[b]Age:[/b] 36

[b]Home-Plane:[/b] Hellen: A cold and windy archipelago, with storm-carved coasts that rise above a violent sea. For thousands of years these great islands have been embroiled in the bitter feuds between their kings and other noble lords. Great fleets and armies are launched from kingdom against kingdom, much innocent blood is spilled, and their grudges grow ever deeper and darker. Since becoming the Shadowprince, the various united city-states have been marshaling their armies and fleets to carry on the conquest of Chaos.

[b]Description:[/b] To most the persona that Lykos projects is that of Ulysses the Fool, though this identity has changed since his days spent masquerading as a court jester. Ulysses comes across as a babbling madman, completely deranged, what little wits he ever had replaced with the mind-shattering presence of Chaos. While he can use illusions to transfigure his appearance, his usual motley garb is a mishmash of metal, leather, and flamboyant silk. This is all of course an elaborate mask, as his true nature is that of a ice-cold killer. The madness of Chaos keeps his cold and dark psyche company as he slowly plans and executes the Darklight's return.

[b]Backstory:[/b] Lykos Daedalion was born as the fifth son to a great king of Hellen, but when he was still an infant, his parents and all of his brothers were slain by assassins. Lykos himself was spirited away to live with relatives, but they were bribed by the king's usurpers into giving the child up to them. In secret, they switched Lykos with a pauper's baby, and offered up the other child to be killed. Lykos grew up destitute, and had to steal-- and later, kill-- to survive.

Lykos eventually fell in with a band of outlaws and mercenaries who made their living raiding Hellenine cities and pirating their ships. This simple life of theft and murder came to an end when his gang were killed on contract by a cabal of secretive assassins. Lykos himself managed to fight off the assassin sent to kill him, and having slain his assassin, he was taken in by the others. There he trained in their hidden arts of magic and combat, and quickly proved to be one of the most powerful among their number. This was also where he assumed the persona of Ulysses, as he often favored disguising himself as a jester or entertainer when contacted to kill nobility.

As he reached the height of his power and prowess, Lykos went into business for himself. He put into an action a slow and methodical plan to murder his way through the noble family that had his own extinguished, and eventually slew the usurper king himself. This was when he found out that the king's scepter had been a Shard of Chaos, and the Anti-Creation chose Lykos as the first Archon of its return. Normally not one for armies or politics, Chaos convinced Lykos to begin the conquest of Hellen, which he utilized a series of illusions and puppet rulers to do so, eventually consolidating all of the island kingdoms under his shadowy rule.

[b]Shard:[/b] The shard in his possession is the Darklight Scepter, formerly part of the regalia of his father, a Hellenine king. It resembles a golden staff with an orb of light on one end, and a matching orb of darkness on the other. Lykos claims that the Scepter is the first and most powerful of the Shards of Chaos, giving him a uniquely intimate relationship with Chaos, but this is unconfirmable and spurious at best. However, the Scepter verifiably gives Lykos a portion of the power of Chaos over what is real and unreal.

[b]Powers:[/b] Lykos is the ultimate assassin, trained since a young age in the arts of stealth, subterfuge, sabotage, and silent death. His skills extend to nearly any killing implement that has ever been invented, and some other, miscellaneous tools. He knows a variety of potent and forbidden magics, not only for taking lives, but also for tricking the eye and confusing the mind. As part of his jester disguise, he also knows a variety of jokes, puns, stories, limericks, offensive stereotypes, and can juggle.

[b]Misc:[/b] More will be added to this CS with the OOC!
