Name: Kusa Rellik.
Age: 22.
Gender: Male.
Race: Undead Human.
Class: Broad Swordsman.
Weapon/equipment:
- Broad Sword. This sword is Kusa's main weapon in battle. At a shy length of five feet, and being lightweight, it enables Kusa to maneuver it with ease. The sword is a sturdy steel, which is even edged untill it reaches the triangle tip, where it forms jagged on one side. The handle is made of alloy, and clothed by a red tape, leading to the hilt, of which is a silvery steel painted black.
- Mamorinuku. It is black, with half-inch long lines in the center of the blade, starting at the hilt, and continuing up the blade. It symbols how many souls the blade has taken. It lengths nearly six feet long, and almost eight inches in width. The blade itself is made of a durable steel. Light, but strong. The sword of one thousand souls. It's weilder can choose to take a dead human's soul, to strengthen the blade's endurance. Kusa came into posession of this, after he was killed, at Mt. Ember, by a strange man in red armour. He fought this man, and failed. Fortunately, when Kusa was ressurected, he fought the man once more, and retrieved the blade. But, instead of returning it to the underworld as Hades instructed, he menaced the ability of taking souls, and continued walking the planet with it.
- Arm Guard. This padding was made by Kusa himself. It appears thick, on his left shoulder, but is quite thin. It fools most, but when struck right, it would shatter. It's overlapped sides withhold a stained silver, and the word 'RelliK' painted in black.
- Glove. Kusa's dependent right hand is sheathed by a brown wornout glove. Although, it may fool some when being struck by not raw fist beneath it's leather, but a sturdy metal sheet.
- The Devil's Ring. This ring is on Kusa's index finger, on his left hand. It allows him to temporarely disappear before all but elven eye's. Before his village was destroyed, a great and terrible king visit the land, and stayed in the most divine sanctuary in the village, for a small parliament vacation. Kusa snuck in his room at night, and stole jewelry. Unfortunately for him, he was caught, and stripped of all stolen goods. All but the ring, which Kusa held tight in his mouth while the soldiers searched him.
- Sanctuary's Rock. This rock is the only thing Kusa has left of his village. It is a swirl white blue, and has a hole near the top. It's just about an inch, if not a hair width less. Kusa wears it around his neck at all times. He doesn't know what it does, but he gets a strange feeling when he looks into it.
Occupation: Mercenary.
Abilities:
- Blitz. Kusa obtained the ability Blitz, from an old man, whilst on one of his Mercenary travels. He trained with this old man for two weeks, before mastering the skill. When used, Kusa strikes the ground with his broad sword, creating three small electric waves beneath the ground. It's results vary, but Kusa has found it possible to manipulate the direction of the three waves. Far apart versus hordes, and closer together for a single target.
- Kenji. This ability allows Kusa to jump higher than most, and continue jumping while keeping his endurance, and breathing level. The skill was obtained when he was a child, just after his village Sukai was destroyed. He was left with nothing, untill a young woman found him. She took him back to her village, Tanake, a secret village that was supposed dead. There Kusa learned flexibility, form, stance, basic fighting skills, and the art of Kenji.
- Devil's Ring. The ring allows him to become temporarely invisible. Only lasting for a short time of 30 or so seconds, Kusa cannot be seen by any, but the trained eye of an elf.
- Way of the Theif. This skill was obtained when Kusa was just fifteen years of age. He mingled with theives, and enjoyed being around them. Soon he became close friends with the clan, and found himself stealing and shoplifting for pleasure. Kusa regrets the horrible memories, but uses the way of the theif when in need of food, or such items.
- Soul Eater. The Mamorinuku collects a dead human's soul, to strengthen itself. The weilder can choose to take the soul, or allow it to return to the planets Underworld, or Haven.
- Destruction. Destruction is a powerful attack, much like Blitz, but with the Mamorinuku blade. It's power ranges between moderate, and extreme damage.
- Fallen Angel. Kusa becomes unable to control his body, as his fallen angel takes over. This ability was unfortunately obtained while being sent to the Underworld. Kusa developed a rather dark, and disobedient fallen angel within him, and only releases it when he is most in-need. Otherwise, Kusa will never release the beast within him. The nightmare. When turned, Kusa is slightly stronger, and faster. His appearance hardly alters, discluding his red eye's.
- Tellah's Potion. After being resurrected, Kusa came upon an old travelling Tellah, in need of assistance. He helped the man, and received a potion, which heals wounds. The potion is able to heal small injuries, and help with severe damage.
Personality: Kusa is bright, but flonts his words immaturely. He is very youthful, and it shows in his attitude towards everything. Rarely serious, he likes to play with children, and joke with anyone he meets. Truely a juvenille portray for his enemies. But, when doing his job as a mercenary, he is rutheless, uncaring, and devilish.
Appearance: Kusa stands five feet, eleven inches. He is average when it comes to muscle, and size, but appears to be stronger than he looks when fighting. He has dirty blonde hair, that spikes even during the most accelerated of movements. He has blue eye's, and pale white skin.
Kusa is clothed by a rather different outfit from most. Blue worn out jeans, white shirt, and brown boots. His shirt is littered with straps, and the rope which holds his sword. On his left arm, he wears his armguard just on his shoulder. Further down, he is cuffed by a small chain bracelet. On the same hand, he wears three rings. His right arm is wrapped in a bandage from the elbow down to his worn out brown glove. The leather glove contains a sheet of metal, that allows Kusa's punches to be more effective on his opponents. Kusa's chest is padded by one round shaped steel plate, which covers very little.
His jeans, are held up by two black belts. Beat and worn down, due to the times he was forced to use them on his adventures.
Bio: Kusa ventured through a rather horrible, and chaotic life. His childhood years in the village Sukai were filled with fun, love, laughter, and kindness. Although when he was ten years of age, his village was attacked and destroyed, leaving him alone alive.
Three days later, he was found by a beautifull young girl, and taken back to a strange, ancient village that was said to be no more, named Tanake. It was a great village, surrounded by green plantlife, and exotic flowers of all sorts. Hidden in the falls of Pathmonia, a land of skeptical parliament. The hidden village Tanake, brought many graces upon Kusa. He was trained in the art of Kenji, and treated well within the village. Although, some village people did not like the idea of an outsider. Soon they became angered with the cheifs decisions to let Kusa stay, and held a village meeting. It was decided that Kusa would be exiled from Tanake. After all the quests, and adventures he had gone through, in order to become a pledged Tanakei, he had been exiled at a young age. Fourteen. Once again, he was left with no home. History seemed to be repeating itself...
After a few months of venturing by his lonesome, Kusa began to steal food from villages, and towns. In order to live, he must steal. So it was justified. Or so he thought.
Soon enough, Kusa realized what he was doing... But didn't care. Mingling with bandits was the next event in his life. Learning their ways, and stealing not only food, but weapons, and strange mythril armors. Soon he was a bandit himself. Skilled in the art, and pleasured by it. Untill he was fifteen and one half.
Kusa was sent on a mission to retrieve a priceless object, from a king. But, Kusa was caught, and brought forth to the king, whom give him the choice of a loyal soldier at the kings hand, or death. Kusa, made his choice quick, and easily. A loyal soldier he was to become, for two years.
After serving his duty, Kusa was released into the world as a citizen once again, only to become a mercenary for money. He was skilled in swordsmanship, and didn't ask much questions. A true mercenary if there ever was one. Young, but skilled.
On one of his adventures, he came across an old man. He spent two weeks at the mans house, on invitation. There, he learned a skill called Blitz. After he had mastered the technique, he solemnly swore never to forget of the mans kindness, and tell every lone traveller of his great heart.
By the time Kusa was seventeen, he was highely recommended amung rich settlers, some merchants, and even a few Kings. His hard work as a mercenary had paid off, and it was time for him to go completely professional. Although, little did Kusa know, he would be getting himself into the most excurciatingly painful, and sorrowful adventure of his life.
At age eighteen, Kusa was arrogant enough to test himself, in every way possible. Travelling the world, and facing it's many horrifying creatures, and legends. Soon, he heard of the Upicha desert tale. No one had ventured into the desert, and returned. Kusa attempted this challenge, but failed as soon as day turned to night. Creatures of all sorts attacked him furiously. Luckily for him, a man traveling the desert outskirts spotted him, and returned him to his village, Tanake. Here, he was accepted once again, as a Tanakei.
After six months of living with the Tanakei again, he set out, to train as a swordsman. Temporarely abondoning his job as a mercenary, to find himself as a person, and explore the world, graduating his abilities.
At the age of twenty two, Kusa was offered a job. One Hundred thousand gil, to assasinate a wanted criminal. It seemed as if it was easy enough, for so much gil. Kusa took the job. He was finally ready to test his newly obtained strength.
Kusa tracked the man down, and followed him through the terrible Upicha desert. They soon reached Mt. Ember, where Kusa and the man fought. Sadly, Kusa lost his life, and the man was left unpunished for all he had done.
Soon, Kusa could see a bright light. The brightest light. But it did not blind him, nor scare him. It gladened him, in some strange, warm way. He had made it to the Haven. He had become one of Pathmonia's angels, or one of the "lost". Kusa began to sleep for extended periods of time.. dreaming away his life as an angel, disobeying the voices in his head.
Kusa then awoke in a strange, alien world. A world of which was named, the Underworld. Kusa was then greeted by it's keeper. Hades. Hades told him of his wrong-doings, but stated that he was not to stay in the underworld, nor go to the Haven above. Kusa was to remain in Pathmonia, but not as human. As an undead angel. For he had not finished his duty as a mercenary. Hades wished for the man Kusa was tracking, to die. He must, or all order would be lost. Hades stated, that the man carried an ancient artifact, called the Mamorinuku. It collected the souls of dead humans, instead of allowing them to venture into the Underworld. Which of course, angered Hades.
Kusa was then revived, but returned to his body as something more. A fallen angel. His arm was now littered with markings, and he felt a strange darkness within him. A want, and yearn to kill. He ignored it, and started off, to continue what he started.
Few days passed, and Kusa finally caught up with his killer. He confronted him, and fought untill he couldn't anymore. The man swore to take his soul this time.. But Kusa began to change before the man had a chance. Kusa transformed... into something evil. His fallen angel had taken over.
He then awoke, with the man's blood all over himself. He had killed him... But he did not regret it. He didn't feel sorrow. He felt pleasure. Thus, taking the Mamorinuku, he began his new life, as an undead, fallen angel.
In time, Kusa gained the ability to travel through, and throughout the Omniverse. Using the Underworld as a gateway, he has been able to transport himself to different worlds, using the faint link between the living and the dead. Him being both, he is allowed to pass forth at will.
His reasons for abusing the ability differ, but his main motive, is hunger for more souls. Feeding the Mamorinuku as he travels, he is able to manipulate his dark self, using the blade to control it's fury. Although, he hasn't had the chance to completely disable it's free will.
Now, he finds himself haunting the Omniverse with his treachery, consuming the souls of each unfortunately strong being he encounters.. Untill now.
Theme Song: "M.I.A" - Avenged Sevenfold. ( PM me, if you want the Itunes file. )
Name : Crane "Red" Fortig'ule" ( For-tih-G^( yool ) ) - Lost Epitaph - The Red Warrior
Age : 127. ( Appears to be 26 or so. )
Gender : Male.
Height : 5'11.9''
Weight : 178.43 ( Without Equiptment. )
Home World : Vinahne
Race : Vinahnian.
Personality : Crane.. is the type that would ignore a child asking for help. Even if he/she was dying. He isn't necessarily the cold hearted type. More neutral, and doesn't interfere with the planet's work. However, he is often challenged by many, and must take their lives to continue on. Such is fate, as he would say. Normally, he is quite still, and very quiet. He often sits down to relax, and enjoy his surroundings.
Appearance :
Weaponary Equiptment :
Save the Devil : ( Blade shown in picture. ) The sword is truly beautiful, but has the demonic feel, and sense. Just it's energy wilts flowers, yet Crane has managed to keep in the.. neutral, catagory. His blade temptates all, and only the powerful are able to weild it. The blade was crafted by the devil himself, and given to the most worthy of warriors to protect him. Ironically, it was used to kill his son instead.
It's powers and abilities seem to be mastered by Crane, however, he does seem to.. lack the ability to use the blade to it's full potential. Perhaps it could be of some other purpose?
The sword is one of two created by the Devil. Crane looks for the second, in order to protect it from the use of evil, or good.
Key of Abyss : This item is located on Crane's left arm. It holds the power to manipulate certain elements, such as fire and darkness, and also regenerates it's user's body. When Crane is wounded, he is often healed within the hour. The key uses energy from itself, to recreate what was lost. Such as blood, and sometimes, fingers; even limbs. Another effect from this ancient relic, is prolonging Crane's life span. It seems that he only age's half a year, every one hundred.
The key is intertwined with Crane's arm, and maintained by a small amount of Incarnum. Without the Incarnum to maintain the connection, the use of the key is very unstable... and it's effects seem to deplete.
The key was created for the single purpose of ridding any world of it's darkness. However... this ability can only be used every two hundred years. At the moment, it cannot be used for another one hundred, considering Crane had used it on his own world. After this item is used for it's sole purpose, the user is immediately ripped into a portal, and sent across the Omniverse.
Abilities :
Spirit Energy : Spirit energy. An energy retracted from the Astral Plane. Crane uses this energy with ease, but over time, he does grow tiresome. His body can handle a fair amount of this energy, and even so, he uses the Key of Abyss to further his abilities and use with it ( The Spirit Energy ).
Common Techniques using Spirit Energy : Often, Crane uses the energy to cause disturbances within certain things. Weapons, boulders, small lakes, and even the ground. The Key of Abyss normally acts as his transfer item, to force the energy into these things much easier.
Soul Energy : Soul Energy. A powerful energy retracted from the Astral Plane. This is used by Crane, much like he uses spirit energy, but not as often. When he does use it though, it's for devestating attacks.
Crane maintains his full connection with the Key of Abyss with soul energy. If his connection was corrupted, then Crane wouldn't be able to use the Key of Abyss to it's full potential, but still half of it's power, considering it is connected to him physically as well as spiritually.
Biography : The story of the Epitaph. A horrible one, at that, and one that doesn't end in anything relating to happy. It begins, when Crane was born to a loyal Knight, and his lady, in the world called.. Vinahne ( Vih-Nawn ).
Vinahne was.. well, there was only one word to really describe it; Hell. It's once beautiful landscapes were now red, and crusted over with black rock. Hundreds, and thousands of miles went on, only in red oceans and a dark sky. It truly was, a replica of Hell ( Or what you would imagine Hell to be ). This.. Hell.. was home to three raging kingdoms. These kingdoms fought with one another, in hopes of spreading their idea's of parliament, freedom, or authority. Much like Earth, they fought on their planet to become the most powerful.
You see, Vinahne had been sucked into a different realm one thousand years ago. This realm, unfortunately, linked to the gates of Hell. However.. there was not chaos from Hell itself. A previous Epitaph had used a certain.. Item, to close the connection with Hell and Vinahne, and hid the Key of Abyss in the depths of Vinahne. The core of the world.
Krinahd, the kingdom of the devil's child. Surrounded by an ocean of lava, and black rock landscapes, it was often called Hell. It was also believed that Krinahd's armies were undead, and ruled by the devil's son.
Fariel, the kingdom of virtue. This triumphant kingdom blazed with glory, and good. Their motives were for the right, and for their God. They were blessed with a beautiful grassy landscape extending on for one hundred miles.
Finally, there was Ammicrin, the kingdom of destiny. They fought for a legend, and the possibility of a savior from this wicked world. However.. they were not blessed like the other kingdoms. Here, they were surrounded by a sea of sand, and trapped by the seemingly endless desert. Their armies would perish before reaching it's destination, and all seemed to be.. neutral, in a sense.
These three kingdoms fought on for centuries... centuries of gore and bloodshed. Even the woman were sent to battle! It seemed that Vinahne had overcome negotiation with the art of sword's... and all was to be doomed in the very end of the world's days. The kingdom's fought one another, and tried countless attempts to secure their enemy's fortresses.. But to no prevail! Every attack launched by the three were futile, and all seemed to be dampening even more, leading to the foretold end... Untill.. the prophecy's tale had began.
An ancient legend among the three raging kingdom's spoke of a baby being born with the Vinahne insignia on it's back.. and that baby would save the side it was born under.
This baby had been born. A blonde haired child, born to a loyal Knight of Ammicrin, and his lady. All was going to be well! The kingdom was saved! This baby had the insignia, and surely it could not be a prank? Only a fool would do such a thing.. and a Knight was no fool. So, the baby was brought to the king. He examined him, and came to a salvaging conclusion; The baby was to save Ammicrin, and restore Vinahne.
Once word had spread to Fariel, they began negotiations. Fariel united with Ammicrin, and they were to assault Krinahd when this savior child turn the age of twenty. However.. this plan would be ruined by Krinahd, after getting word from one of their.. spies.
Krinahd organized an attack, and travelled through the desert to Ammicrin. When they arrived, they met with not an outstanding force as the prophecy says.. but a celebrating Kingdom. A dissarmed, and unaware kingdom.. and so.. Krinahd struck. They forced their way into the Kingdom, and killed every newly born they could find, and.. upon coming to the marked child.. they kidnapped him, and flee'd.
With all hope suddenly revoked, it seemed that the days were numbered, and the number wasn't high. Already the days seem to go by slower, and darker, knowing that they would indeed be defeated.
Two years after the kidnapping, the mother and father gave birth to another child. His name, was Crane. He had blazing red hair, and dark blue eye's. His father even trembled with happiness. They had made another child, to take the place of their lost miracle. Could it be, that this child could also be the savior of the kingdom?
Over the years, the child proved himself to be worthy of his father's footsteps as a Knight. He trained with the blade untill he was eighteen, and finally joined as a loyal servant for his king. However, the people hated him for who he was... they hated him for not being the chosen child, and told him of it. He was scowled upon by the upper class swordsmen.. But it would do him no harm. He ignored it all.. and trained. Preparing for his adventure, and destiny.
Reaching the highest rank in the Knights.. he swore forever servitude, and vowed to save his kingdom at all costs. He was ready to fulfill the prophecy, and clash swords with his brother.
Assembling an army, he travelled across the deserts, and the magma ocean, and reached Krinahd kingdom. Without warning, he started the attack. Unfortunately, it was quickly stopped by a small force, and Crane had failed. He was captured, and brought to the King of Krinahd... whom was infact.. the prince of darkness. The devil's child...
Once the prince had learned of his name, he branded him, and declared him apart of his army, and slaves. For five long and treacherous years he served under the devil's son, learning of his plans.
He told Crane of what his purpose was here, and how Vinahne was so special. It wasn't a world at all... well, it was.. but that was only it's physical image. If one looked deeper into this image, they would realize it's true nature; A gate way. A door to Hell. However.. long ago, before the Key of Abyss was first used.. the world had been moved from the realm it was in, and into a created universe, by the gods. However.. it was returned to the realm, and such was it's state now. At this moment in time, the devil's child was searching for the Key of Abyss, to unlock the gate within Vinahne. Soon.. he would find it, and unleash Hell upon the Omniverse, using Crane and his brother's ancient powers.
Time elapsed.
Crane was now twenty seven, and surpassed even his brother in the art of swordsmenship. Ranking among the highest in Krinahd, he recieved the weapon "Save the Devil" from his King, and vowed to protect him whatever the cost. However, this would prove to be the greatest lie and most righteous deed in the history of Vinahne.
The King of Krinahd finally obtained the Key of Abyss. All was going according to plan.. and even better than this; he had the two prophecy's children. Everything he had aimed for would soon come into sights, and the world would return to it's true purpose of transporting the creatures of Hell and it's master, into the Omniverse.
The time was right for the prince to make his move, and summon his father. Using Crane's brother Kreine ( Creen ) as a tool, he equipped him with the Key of Abyss. With his power and the Key of Abyss combined, he was able to open the gate, and release his father's minions upon the world. Once they had assembled, they began to sweep across the planet, while Crane, organized his strike against the devil's son.
Crane had turned sides once again, proved his loyalty to Ammicrin, and the rest of Vinahne. Unwillingly, he crossed blades with his brother, and obtained the Key of Abyss. Now, Crane held the two most valuable items on the planet, and he intended to use them to lock the gate that had been opened, and save the Omniverse from a nearly undefendable strike.
Crane.. challenged the Prince of Darkness. In an epic battle of fate, the two fought in the caste's courtyard. However.. Crane was no match. Fortunately, he didn't need to be. He had been summoning the power of the Key of Abyss the entire time, and it had reached it's level of capable use. At this.. Crane used the Key of Abyss, and opened a portal to Hell. Every demonic creature, every undead soldier, and the prince of darkness, was sucked into this swirling vortex, and returned to Hell. Upon opening it however, Crane was rather.. close. He had been sucked in as well.
Now, the portal was unbalanced. Soon the creatures that had been sent back to Hell, would force their way through it, and return to Vinahne. Crane was left to finish the fight with the prince of darkness in his own Hell.
After a long fight.. Crane killed the prince with the blade crafted by the devil, and so the devil felt. His only son had been killed. He appeared at the scene, and stared at his son's lifeless body, mourning over his loss. Crane however, let out a small cackle.
Then, they fought. The fate of Crane's world was in his hand, and perhaps the fate of many other's. He would attempt to defeat the devil, in Hell. It proved to be a diffacult task, but.. after a long fight, he opened another gate. The gate pulled him from Hell, and the gate that had been opened before, vanished. The balance was set back to it's previous status, and Vinahne was saved for another one thousand years. However.. without it's savior. Crane had been transported to the other side of the Omniverse, to start his journey over.
But, all in all, he had saved his Kingdom. He protected innocent lives, and even those who weren't innocent. With balance, there was calm, and now, he would start the journey back home.
Over the years, he has learned of the Key's powers, and abilities, such as nearly stopping his aging process. He still carries the blade that the Prince had given him, and now searches for the other, of which is named "Save the Princess". Travelling across the Omniverse, he has met many powerful beings, and fought countless battles, and will continue to do so, untill he finds his way back to Vinahne. His home.

~ Template ~
Name : Kry Raven
Age : 284 or so. Appears roughly 24.
Gender : Male.
Race : Undead Kagorian.
Personality : Relaxed, intelligent, cold hearted, lazy, but doesn't pass up the chance to fight.
Appearance :
Kry has short, black spiked hair. He has crystal blue eye's, and pale white skin. His body type is seemingly average, but he is much stronger than he looks. This fools most when entering a fight; Usually making their opinion of him differ greatly. He stands nearly 6''0, but slouches constantly.
His clothing is rather awkward for a fighter. A blue shirt, and dark blue worn-out pants, held up by a few belts overlapping eachother. The shirt is accompanied by small straps, of which hold the holster for his blade, the Caladbolg. Also, a small plate covers his upper left chest. This is attatched to his sturdy silver armguard. Along the left arm, there is a tattoo, spelling out the word "Ireland" in Kagorian symbolics. Kry got the tattoo just after obtaining the Caladbolg. Following the tattoo, is a shell bracelet, then a series of rings on his fingers. On the other hand, is a strange auroric ribbon tied throughout his fingers. A ring that reads ancient Kagorian script holds it in a tight manner, allowing the ribbon's tale to flutter about during movements. Travelling up his arm, however, is a slightly disturbing mark called the "Mark of Regret".
Following up to his neck, he wears a chain link necklace with the Kagorian emblem on it ( The outline of a star, with an even sided cross in the middle of it. ) to symbolized his ex-position as King.
He wears black, comfortable shoes, with white laces tucked inside. Although you hardly ever see his shoes, considering his pants are rather baggy.
Weaponary Equipment :
Caladbolg - A legendary weapon, said to have cut the tops off of three mountains with ease. Caladbolg's power comes from it's weilder. The more spirit energy fed to it, the more power it has. However, this power drains quickly, and thus, the weilder must regenerate it's energy often. The blade was forged by Hades, god of the underworld. Crafted with rare metals, such as obsidian, and mythril. The blade itself lengths nearly four feet long, and four inches wide.
On each side of the blade, sit a maroon colored crystal formed by pure spirit energy. One of the crystal's allow Kry's spirit energy to transfer into the blade more efficiently. The other produces an aura while at the same time, acts as a magnet for everything within it's aura. Every being's spirit ( except the gems energy provider ) within this energy dome is drawn towards the gem, connected with it and is disallowed access to the Astral Plane. The ones drawn to the gem, cannot access the Plane, simply because the gem controls the connection. However, this crystal is removable by the weilder as well, to stop the effect completely. In the midst of the blade, is a special gem from Hades. It protects the sword from most moderate magical damage by creating another sort of aura around itself. It provides a moderate magical barrier to sheild magic attacks. The hilt is five inches, just breaking the width limit of it's blade. Gold trimmed, it is also made of obsidian and mythril. The handle is enwrapped with a red ribbon, tied at it's ends.
Silver Armlet - An armlet that sits on Kry's left arm. It's very sturdy, and can minimize damage to that side ( If hit on the armlet, of course. ).
Cigarettes - Strangely enough, Kry has added smoking to his life. Since he is dead, he cannot die. Therefor, smoking doesn't effect him. He carries a pack with him at all times. Mostly Marlboro. The pack is normally located in his back pocket.
Abilities :
Spirit Energy - Kry has the ability to use spirit energy constantly. Since he is dead, he does not tire, and thus he is able to channel mass amounts of energy through his body, and into items, weapons, etc. without growing tiresome. His sword depends mostly on this, and the amount of spirit energy within himself.
Blade of Awe - Forcing mass amounts of Incarnum into Caladbolg, Kry can use the overflowing energy to create a very devestating direct attack, or moderate ranged strike by striking the ground.
Earthquake - Using Caladbolg as a tool, Kry sends Incarnum through the blade, and into the ground, causing a disturbance. The more spirit energy used, the greater effects the disturbance causes. However, Kry has been known to use only his hands to perform this action.
Biography : Kry was born to the beautiful planet Kagoran. It was covered with lush and rich green landscapes; Everything was extravagant, and luxurious. Even it's cities and kingdom's left the average viewer in awe. This land was run by no other than the King of Kagoran. This man happened to be the father of Kry, making him, prince of Kagoran.
Since Kry was a mere child, he had let off a strange and mistifying energy. At the age of two, for example, he had channeled spirit energy into a pebble. Now, most Kagorians could do this, but not at such a young age. It fightened some in the royal family, such as his mother, but to most, he was a golden child. A true King he was to become, and ruler of Kagoran.
However, as the years passed, he proved himself to be a wonderful blessing to Kagoran. He was an A student in his classes, and by the time he reached moderate world history ( This was for all the age of seven ), he had skipped a whole year. Things seemed to be going nicely.
At the age of ten, he was out of school, and ready to learn swordsmanship. His father gladly tought him at request, every saturday, and sometimes sunday. By the age of thirteen, he had become a fine swordsmen.
At fifteen, he was made captain of the Maroon Knights of Kagoran. However, these knights did not have too many missions. Only the average retrieving of payment, from the surrounding city. Sometimes catching a few thugs, but nothing seemed to be.. enough.
Six months after he was made captain of the Maroon Knights of Kagoran, a nearby kingdom declared war with his father. With only a months preperation, the King assembled his armies to defend the assault, as did Kry and his band of Maroon Knights. Going against his father's wishes, he marched to the gates of his kingdom, and battled with the oncoming horde.
For three days, and three nights did this war rage on, untill finally, the Maroon Knights and their surrounding king's army had won. They defended their kingdom, and proved to be an outstanding force. The surrrounding kingdom's fell into a blind fret, and sufficed their attempts. All order was restored.. for now.
A long year passed, and Kry had become a master in the art of swords. However, he seeked something more than this.. and told his father of it. From then on, he was to set out on an adventure, to find himself, and his purpose in this world. To find what he was to become. The king.. or the Knight?
Kry ventured across the land of Kagoran, sailed across the great ocean to the outer continents, battled many beasts ( such as the obsidian dragon in the western mountains ), and met many accomplices. In all of this.. he found happiness, and discovery. The only thing he wanted, was to learn of his surrounding world. So he continued.
On one of his adventures, when he was seventeen, he met an old man while on the road. This man took Kry to hone his skills in the catagory of spirit energy. The man explained to him the wonders of the Omniverse, intergalactic travel, and the Astral Plane; where his spirit energy came from. In all of this.. he had learned of everything he wished to know. But still yearned for more reason, and ability. So, the man told him of a great legend. The Caladbolg; a sword said to cut off the tops of three mountains, using only spirit energy. So.. Kry set out to find it.
After a harsh jounrey, he came upon the ancient land it was said to be. Before long.. he had found it. In a temple, just in the middle of the land. Beautiful it was.. and so he took it. Immediately, he felt the powers it held.. and it cried to him in happiness. Kry's energy soon molded into the blade, and gave it strength. Now.. there was nothing left in the world to find. It was time to return home.
When he arrived at his kingdom, he was showered with flowers and goods from his people. He was now 18.. and would take his place on the throne, as King of Kagoran. Once inside the palace, he received the crown, and was declared King. With his blade in hand, and crown on head, he vowed to protect his kingdom whatever the costs. Even in death; which little did he know.. would be very possible.
Four years later, he was twenty two. A great ruler, and warrior. However... his greatness would be questioned when the evil times ahead were revealed.
Once again, a kingdom had declared war. But this time.. only gave a day's preperation. Kry assembled his troops, and Maroon Knights ( Whom of which he was still captain of ) and lead them to war. However, to a tragic surprise.. they were to face thousands.
For eight days they fought, and were forced to retreat with what forces they had left. Making a last stand at the gate of their kingdom, they defended it, and declared victory. However, the attacker did not declare a loss.
Immediately after Kry had declared victory, the skies turned dark, and thin lightning of red appeared above the kingdom. A terrible red dragon decended from it's depths in the skies, and began to attack the kingdom. In all haste, Kry started towards his tallest tower to make the final stand for his kingdom. For his, Kagoran.
With sword in hand, he channelled as much spirit energy as he possibly could. The dragon then unleashed an unfathomable sphere towards the tower, and insurred destruction. At this, Kry lept from his tower, and struck the sphere. The energies collided, and a mass explosion was created, wiping out Kry, and the dragon. Kry was dead.
Kry then awoke in Kagoran's underworld. The underworld of which was controlled the god known as Hades. After speaking with Hades, he was sent to a FarPlane, to wander endlessly. An act of charity, so to speak. Considering all in the underworld lost their souls.
Meanwhile in his kingdom, a proper burial was made. His sword, which had been shot towards the ground and pierced into it, stood by his statue. A fine remembrance indeed. But what would the kingdom do without a ruler? Fall at the hands of their opposing enemies? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Kry travelled throughout the FarPlane for two hundred or more years. He had become quite connected to it, and felt as if this were now his home. The past had been forgotten.. and everything seemed to be tranquil. Untill, he was summoned by Hades. Hades told him that his punishment for death had ended, and he was to return to his world. Giving Kry a form of himself as he was before he died, he was able to walk among the living world. Although, he did not have a body... only a form of one. In terms.. he was still dead. He did not sleep, he did not eat, nor drink. Only walk, and live in death's shadow. However.. it was time to return to his kingdom once again.
When there, only one word would describe the ruin, and unbearable sights. Hell. Everything was in flame, and creatures of all sorts now inhabitated the kingdom. However, his statue still stand, with his sword sticking out of the ground infront of it. A line of people, and odd creatures stood infront of it, one after another, attempting to pull the sword from it's resting place. Kry, walked to his sword, grasped the handle, and unsheathed it from the earth. With sword in hand once again.. he was fit to fight the being that destroyed his land. Or.. the kingdom that declared war in the first place.
Not much is remembered by Kry, of what happened next. He only remembers blood on his hands, and the kingdom that declared war with his, in flames. Now, he uses spirit energy to travel throughout the Omniverse. He has been on countless adventures, and even so, he does not feel anything. Only stress, or tranquility when he is meditating( which he does often. ).
In all the worlds, galaxy's, and plane's he has ventured into.. Kagoran remains his only true home.
( Enjoy. )
Name: Kusa Rellik.
Age: 22.
Gender: Male.
Race: Undead Human.
Class: Broad Swordsman.
Weapon/equipment:
- Broad Sword. This sword is Kusa's main weapon in battle. At a shy length of five feet, and being lightweight, it enables Kusa to maneuver it with ease. The sword is a sturdy steel, which is even edged untill it reaches the triangle tip, where it forms jagged on one side. The handle is made of alloy, and clothed by a red tape, leading to the hilt, of which is a silvery steel painted black.
- Mamorinuku. It is black, with half-inch long lines in the center of the blade, starting at the hilt, and continuing up the blade. It symbols how many souls the blade has taken. It lengths nearly six feet long, and almost eight inches in width. The blade itself is made of a durable steel. Light, but strong. The sword of one thousand souls. It's weilder can choose to take a dead human's soul, to strengthen the blade's endurance. Kusa came into posession of this, after he was killed, at Mt. Ember, by a strange man in red armour. He fought this man, and failed. Fortunately, when Kusa was ressurected, he fought the man once more, and retrieved the blade. But, instead of returning it to the underworld as Hades instructed, he menaced the ability of taking souls, and continued walking the planet with it.
- Arm Guard. This padding was made by Kusa himself. It appears thick, on his left shoulder, but is quite thin. It fools most, but when struck right, it would shatter. It's overlapped sides withhold a stained silver, and the word 'RelliK' painted in black.
- Glove. Kusa's dependent right hand is sheathed by a brown wornout glove. Although, it may fool some when being struck by not raw fist beneath it's leather, but a sturdy metal sheet.
- The Devil's Ring. This ring is on Kusa's index finger, on his left hand. It allows him to temporarely disappear before all but elven eye's. Before his village was destroyed, a great and terrible king visit the land, and stayed in the most divine sanctuary in the village, for a small parliament vacation. Kusa snuck in his room at night, and stole jewelry. Unfortunately for him, he was caught, and stripped of all stolen goods. All but the ring, which Kusa held tight in his mouth while the soldiers searched him.
- Sanctuary's Rock. This rock is the only thing Kusa has left of his village. It is a swirl white blue, and has a hole near the top. It's just about an inch, if not a hair width less. Kusa wears it around his neck at all times. He doesn't know what it does, but he gets a strange feeling when he looks into it.
Occupation: Mercenary.
Abilities:
- Blitz. Kusa obtained the ability Blitz, from an old man, whilst on one of his Mercenary travels. He trained with this old man for two weeks, before mastering the skill. When used, Kusa strikes the ground with his broad sword, creating three small electric waves beneath the ground. It's results vary, but Kusa has found it possible to manipulate the direction of the three waves. Far apart versus hordes, and closer together for a single target.
- Kenji. This ability allows Kusa to jump higher than most, and continue jumping while keeping his endurance, and breathing level. The skill was obtained when he was a child, just after his village Sukai was destroyed. He was left with nothing, untill a young woman found him. She took him back to her village, Tanake, a secret village that was supposed dead. There Kusa learned flexibility, form, stance, basic fighting skills, and the art of Kenji.
- Devil's Ring. The ring allows him to become temporarely invisible. Only lasting for a short time of 30 or so seconds, Kusa cannot be seen by any, but the trained eye of an elf.
- Way of the Theif. This skill was obtained when Kusa was just fifteen years of age. He mingled with theives, and enjoyed being around them. Soon he became close friends with the clan, and found himself stealing and shoplifting for pleasure. Kusa regrets the horrible memories, but uses the way of the theif when in need of food, or such items.
- Soul Eater. The Mamorinuku collects a dead human's soul, to strengthen itself. The weilder can choose to take the soul, or allow it to return to the planets Underworld, or Haven.
- Destruction. Destruction is a powerful attack, much like Blitz, but with the Mamorinuku blade. It's power ranges between moderate, and extreme damage.
- Fallen Angel. Kusa becomes unable to control his body, as his fallen angel takes over. This ability was unfortunately obtained while being sent to the Underworld. Kusa developed a rather dark, and disobedient fallen angel within him, and only releases it when he is most in-need. Otherwise, Kusa will never release the beast within him. The nightmare. When turned, Kusa is slightly stronger, and faster. His appearance hardly alters, discluding his red eye's.
- Tellah's Potion. After being resurrected, Kusa came upon an old travelling Tellah, in need of assistance. He helped the man, and received a potion, which heals wounds. The potion is able to heal small injuries, and help with severe damage.
Personality: Kusa is bright, but flonts his words immaturely. He is very youthful, and it shows in his attitude towards everything. Rarely serious, he likes to play with children, and joke with anyone he meets. Truely a juvenille portray for his enemies. But, when doing his job as a mercenary, he is rutheless, uncaring, and devilish.
Appearance: Kusa stands five feet, eleven inches. He is average when it comes to muscle, and size, but appears to be stronger than he looks when fighting. He has dirty blonde hair, that spikes even during the most accelerated of movements. He has blue eye's, and pale white skin.
Kusa is clothed by a rather different outfit from most. Blue worn out jeans, white shirt, and brown boots. His shirt is littered with straps, and the rope which holds his sword. On his left arm, he wears his armguard just on his shoulder. Further down, he is cuffed by a small chain bracelet. On the same hand, he wears three rings. His right arm is wrapped in a bandage from the elbow down to his worn out brown glove. The leather glove contains a sheet of metal, that allows Kusa's punches to be more effective on his opponents. Kusa's chest is padded by one round shaped steel plate, which covers very little.
His jeans, are held up by two black belts. Beat and worn down, due to the times he was forced to use them on his adventures.
Bio: Kusa ventured through a rather horrible, and chaotic life. His childhood years in the village Sukai were filled with fun, love, laughter, and kindness. Although when he was ten years of age, his village was attacked and destroyed, leaving him alone alive.
Three days later, he was found by a beautifull young girl, and taken back to a strange, ancient village that was said to be no more, named Tanake. It was a great village, surrounded by green plantlife, and exotic flowers of all sorts. Hidden in the falls of Pathmonia, a land of skeptical parliament. The hidden village Tanake, brought many graces upon Kusa. He was trained in the art of Kenji, and treated well within the village. Although, some village people did not like the idea of an outsider. Soon they became angered with the cheifs decisions to let Kusa stay, and held a village meeting. It was decided that Kusa would be exiled from Tanake. After all the quests, and adventures he had gone through, in order to become a pledged Tanakei, he had been exiled at a young age. Fourteen. Once again, he was left with no home. History seemed to be repeating itself...
After a few months of venturing by his lonesome, Kusa began to steal food from villages, and towns. In order to live, he must steal. So it was justified. Or so he thought.
Soon enough, Kusa realized what he was doing... But didn't care. Mingling with bandits was the next event in his life. Learning their ways, and stealing not only food, but weapons, and strange mythril armors. Soon he was a bandit himself. Skilled in the art, and pleasured by it. Untill he was fifteen and one half.
Kusa was sent on a mission to retrieve a priceless object, from a king. But, Kusa was caught, and brought forth to the king, whom give him the choice of a loyal soldier at the kings hand, or death. Kusa, made his choice quick, and easily. A loyal soldier he was to become, for two years.
After serving his duty, Kusa was released into the world as a citizen once again, only to become a mercenary for money. He was skilled in swordsmanship, and didn't ask much questions. A true mercenary if there ever was one. Young, but skilled.
On one of his adventures, he came across an old man. He spent two weeks at the mans house, on invitation. There, he learned a skill called Blitz. After he had mastered the technique, he solemnly swore never to forget of the mans kindness, and tell every lone traveller of his great heart.
By the time Kusa was seventeen, he was highely recommended amung rich settlers, some merchants, and even a few Kings. His hard work as a mercenary had paid off, and it was time for him to go completely professional. Although, little did Kusa know, he would be getting himself into the most excurciatingly painful, and sorrowful adventure of his life.
At age eighteen, Kusa was arrogant enough to test himself, in every way possible. Travelling the world, and facing it's many horrifying creatures, and legends. Soon, he heard of the Upicha desert tale. No one had ventured into the desert, and returned. Kusa attempted this challenge, but failed as soon as day turned to night. Creatures of all sorts attacked him furiously. Luckily for him, a man traveling the desert outskirts spotted him, and returned him to his village, Tanake. Here, he was accepted once again, as a Tanakei.
After six months of living with the Tanakei again, he set out, to train as a swordsman. Temporarely abondoning his job as a mercenary, to find himself as a person, and explore the world, graduating his abilities.
At the age of twenty two, Kusa was offered a job. One Hundred thousand gil, to assasinate a wanted criminal. It seemed as if it was easy enough, for so much gil. Kusa took the job. He was finally ready to test his newly obtained strength.
Kusa tracked the man down, and followed him through the terrible Upicha desert. They soon reached Mt. Ember, where Kusa and the man fought. Sadly, Kusa lost his life, and the man was left unpunished for all he had done.
Soon, Kusa could see a bright light. The brightest light. But it did not blind him, nor scare him. It gladened him, in some strange, warm way. He had made it to the Haven. He had become one of Pathmonia's angels, or one of the "lost". Kusa began to sleep for extended periods of time.. dreaming away his life as an angel, disobeying the voices in his head.
Kusa then awoke in a strange, alien world. A world of which was named, the Underworld. Kusa was then greeted by it's keeper. Hades. Hades told him of his wrong-doings, but stated that he was not to stay in the underworld, nor go to the Haven above. Kusa was to remain in Pathmonia, but not as human. As an undead angel. For he had not finished his duty as a mercenary. Hades wished for the man Kusa was tracking, to die. He must, or all order would be lost. Hades stated, that the man carried an ancient artifact, called the Mamorinuku. It collected the souls of dead humans, instead of allowing them to venture into the Underworld. Which of course, angered Hades.
Kusa was then revived, but returned to his body as something more. A fallen angel. His arm was now littered with markings, and he felt a strange darkness within him. A want, and yearn to kill. He ignored it, and started off, to continue what he started.
Few days passed, and Kusa finally caught up with his killer. He confronted him, and fought untill he couldn't anymore. The man swore to take his soul this time.. But Kusa began to change before the man had a chance. Kusa transformed... into something evil. His fallen angel had taken over.
He then awoke, with the man's blood all over himself. He had killed him... But he did not regret it. He didn't feel sorrow. He felt pleasure. Thus, taking the Mamorinuku, he began his new life, as an undead, fallen angel.
In time, Kusa gained the ability to travel through, and throughout the Omniverse. Using the Underworld as a gateway, he has been able to transport himself to different worlds, using the faint link between the living and the dead. Him being both, he is allowed to pass forth at will.
His reasons for abusing the ability differ, but his main motive, is hunger for more souls. Feeding the Mamorinuku as he travels, he is able to manipulate his dark self, using the blade to control it's fury. Although, he hasn't had the chance to completely disable it's free will.
Now, he finds himself haunting the Omniverse with his treachery, consuming the souls of each unfortunately strong being he encounters.. Untill now.
Theme Song
Name : Crane "Red" Fortig'ule" ( For-tih-G^( yool ) ) - Lost Epitaph - The Red Warrior
Age : 127. ( Appears to be 26 or so. )
Gender : Male.
Height : 5'11.9''
Weight : 178.43 ( Without Equiptment. )
Home World : Vinahne
Race : Vinahnian.
Personality : Crane.. is the type that would ignore a child asking for help. Even if he/she was dying. He isn't necessarily the cold hearted type. More neutral, and doesn't interfere with the planet's work. However, he is often challenged by many, and must take their lives to continue on. Such is fate, as he would say. Normally, he is quite still, and very quiet. He often sits down to relax, and enjoy his surroundings.
Appearance :
Weaponary Equiptment :
Save the Devil : ( Blade shown in picture. ) The sword is truly beautiful, but has the demonic feel, and sense. Just it's energy wilts flowers, yet Crane has managed to keep in the.. neutral, catagory. His blade temptates all, and only the powerful are able to weild it. The blade was crafted by the devil himself, and given to the most worthy of warriors to protect him. Ironically, it was used to kill his son instead.
It's powers and abilities seem to be mastered by Crane, however, he does seem to.. lack the ability to use the blade to it's full potential. Perhaps it could be of some other purpose?
The sword is one of two created by the Devil. Crane looks for the second, in order to protect it from the use of evil, or good.
Key of Abyss : This item is located on Crane's left arm. It holds the power to manipulate certain elements, such as fire and darkness, and also regenerates it's user's body. When Crane is wounded, he is often healed within the hour. The key uses energy from itself, to recreate what was lost. Such as blood, and sometimes, fingers; even limbs. Another effect from this ancient relic, is prolonging Crane's life span. It seems that he only age's half a year, every one hundred.
The key is intertwined with Crane's arm, and maintained by a small amount of Incarnum. Without the Incarnum to maintain the connection, the use of the key is very unstable... and it's effects seem to deplete.
The key was created for the single purpose of ridding any world of it's darkness. However... this ability can only be used every two hundred years. At the moment, it cannot be used for another one hundred, considering Crane had used it on his own world. After this item is used for it's sole purpose, the user is immediately ripped into a portal, and sent across the Omniverse.
Abilities :
Spirit Energy : Spirit energy. An energy retracted from the Astral Plane. Crane uses this energy with ease, but over time, he does grow tiresome. His body can handle a fair amount of this energy, and even so, he uses the Key of Abyss to further his abilities and use with it ( The Spirit Energy ).
Common Techniques using Spirit Energy : Often, Crane uses the energy to cause disturbances within certain things. Weapons, boulders, small lakes, and even the ground. The Key of Abyss normally acts as his transfer item, to force the energy into these things much easier.
Soul Energy : Soul Energy. A powerful energy retracted from the Astral Plane. This is used by Crane, much like he uses spirit energy, but not as often. When he does use it though, it's for devestating attacks.
Crane maintains his full connection with the Key of Abyss with soul energy. If his connection was corrupted, then Crane wouldn't be able to use the Key of Abyss to it's full potential, but still half of it's power, considering it is connected to him physically as well as spiritually.
Biography : The story of the Epitaph. A horrible one, at that, and one that doesn't end in anything relating to happy. It begins, when Crane was born to a loyal Knight, and his lady, in the world called.. Vinahne ( Vih-Nawn ).
Vinahne was.. well, there was only one word to really describe it; Hell. It's once beautiful landscapes were now red, and crusted over with black rock. Hundreds, and thousands of miles went on, only in red oceans and a dark sky. It truly was, a replica of Hell ( Or what you would imagine Hell to be ). This.. Hell.. was home to three raging kingdoms. These kingdoms fought with one another, in hopes of spreading their idea's of parliament, freedom, or authority. Much like Earth, they fought on their planet to become the most powerful.
You see, Vinahne had been sucked into a different realm one thousand years ago. This realm, unfortunately, linked to the gates of Hell. However.. there was not chaos from Hell itself. A previous Epitaph had used a certain.. Item, to close the connection with Hell and Vinahne, and hid the Key of Abyss in the depths of Vinahne. The core of the world.
Krinahd, the kingdom of the devil's child. Surrounded by an ocean of lava, and black rock landscapes, it was often called Hell. It was also believed that Krinahd's armies were undead, and ruled by the devil's son.
Fariel, the kingdom of virtue. This triumphant kingdom blazed with glory, and good. Their motives were for the right, and for their God. They were blessed with a beautiful grassy landscape extending on for one hundred miles.
Finally, there was Ammicrin, the kingdom of destiny. They fought for a legend, and the possibility of a savior from this wicked world. However.. they were not blessed like the other kingdoms. Here, they were surrounded by a sea of sand, and trapped by the seemingly endless desert. Their armies would perish before reaching it's destination, and all seemed to be.. neutral, in a sense.
These three kingdoms fought on for centuries... centuries of gore and bloodshed. Even the woman were sent to battle! It seemed that Vinahne had overcome negotiation with the art of sword's... and all was to be doomed in the very end of the world's days. The kingdom's fought one another, and tried countless attempts to secure their enemy's fortresses.. But to no prevail! Every attack launched by the three were futile, and all seemed to be dampening even more, leading to the foretold end... Untill.. the prophecy's tale had began.
An ancient legend among the three raging kingdom's spoke of a baby being born with the Vinahne insignia on it's back.. and that baby would save the side it was born under.
This baby had been born. A blonde haired child, born to a loyal Knight of Ammicrin, and his lady. All was going to be well! The kingdom was saved! This baby had the insignia, and surely it could not be a prank? Only a fool would do such a thing.. and a Knight was no fool. So, the baby was brought to the king. He examined him, and came to a salvaging conclusion; The baby was to save Ammicrin, and restore Vinahne.
Once word had spread to Fariel, they began negotiations. Fariel united with Ammicrin, and they were to assault Krinahd when this savior child turn the age of twenty. However.. this plan would be ruined by Krinahd, after getting word from one of their.. spies.
Krinahd organized an attack, and travelled through the desert to Ammicrin. When they arrived, they met with not an outstanding force as the prophecy says.. but a celebrating Kingdom. A dissarmed, and unaware kingdom.. and so.. Krinahd struck. They forced their way into the Kingdom, and killed every newly born they could find, and.. upon coming to the marked child.. they kidnapped him, and flee'd.
With all hope suddenly revoked, it seemed that the days were numbered, and the number wasn't high. Already the days seem to go by slower, and darker, knowing that they would indeed be defeated.
Two years after the kidnapping, the mother and father gave birth to another child. His name, was Crane. He had blazing red hair, and dark blue eye's. His father even trembled with happiness. They had made another child, to take the place of their lost miracle. Could it be, that this child could also be the savior of the kingdom?
Over the years, the child proved himself to be worthy of his father's footsteps as a Knight. He trained with the blade untill he was eighteen, and finally joined as a loyal servant for his king. However, the people hated him for who he was... they hated him for not being the chosen child, and told him of it. He was scowled upon by the upper class swordsmen.. But it would do him no harm. He ignored it all.. and trained. Preparing for his adventure, and destiny.
Reaching the highest rank in the Knights.. he swore forever servitude, and vowed to save his kingdom at all costs. He was ready to fulfill the prophecy, and clash swords with his brother.
Assembling an army, he travelled across the deserts, and the magma ocean, and reached Krinahd kingdom. Without warning, he started the attack. Unfortunately, it was quickly stopped by a small force, and Crane had failed. He was captured, and brought to the King of Krinahd... whom was infact.. the prince of darkness. The devil's child...
Once the prince had learned of his name, he branded him, and declared him apart of his army, and slaves. For five long and treacherous years he served under the devil's son, learning of his plans.
He told Crane of what his purpose was here, and how Vinahne was so special. It wasn't a world at all... well, it was.. but that was only it's physical image. If one looked deeper into this image, they would realize it's true nature; A gate way. A door to Hell. However.. long ago, before the Key of Abyss was first used.. the world had been moved from the realm it was in, and into a created universe, by the gods. However.. it was returned to the realm, and such was it's state now. At this moment in time, the devil's child was searching for the Key of Abyss, to unlock the gate within Vinahne. Soon.. he would find it, and unleash Hell upon the Omniverse, using Crane and his brother's ancient powers.
Time elapsed.
Crane was now twenty seven, and surpassed even his brother in the art of swordsmenship. Ranking among the highest in Krinahd, he recieved the weapon "Save the Devil" from his King, and vowed to protect him whatever the cost. However, this would prove to be the greatest lie and most righteous deed in the history of Vinahne.
The King of Krinahd finally obtained the Key of Abyss. All was going according to plan.. and even better than this; he had the two prophecy's children. Everything he had aimed for would soon come into sights, and the world would return to it's true purpose of transporting the creatures of Hell and it's master, into the Omniverse.
The time was right for the prince to make his move, and summon his father. Using Crane's brother Kreine ( Creen ) as a tool, he equipped him with the Key of Abyss. With his power and the Key of Abyss combined, he was able to open the gate, and release his father's minions upon the world. Once they had assembled, they began to sweep across the planet, while Crane, organized his strike against the devil's son.
Crane had turned sides once again, proved his loyalty to Ammicrin, and the rest of Vinahne. Unwillingly, he crossed blades with his brother, and obtained the Key of Abyss. Now, Crane held the two most valuable items on the planet, and he intended to use them to lock the gate that had been opened, and save the Omniverse from a nearly undefendable strike.
Crane.. challenged the Prince of Darkness. In an epic battle of fate, the two fought in the caste's courtyard. However.. Crane was no match. Fortunately, he didn't need to be. He had been summoning the power of the Key of Abyss the entire time, and it had reached it's level of capable use. At this.. Crane used the Key of Abyss, and opened a portal to Hell. Every demonic creature, every undead soldier, and the prince of darkness, was sucked into this swirling vortex, and returned to Hell. Upon opening it however, Crane was rather.. close. He had been sucked in as well.
Now, the portal was unbalanced. Soon the creatures that had been sent back to Hell, would force their way through it, and return to Vinahne. Crane was left to finish the fight with the prince of darkness in his own Hell.
After a long fight.. Crane killed the prince with the blade crafted by the devil, and so the devil felt. His only son had been killed. He appeared at the scene, and stared at his son's lifeless body, mourning over his loss. Crane however, let out a small cackle.
Then, they fought. The fate of Crane's world was in his hand, and perhaps the fate of many other's. He would attempt to defeat the devil, in Hell. It proved to be a diffacult task, but.. after a long fight, he opened another gate. The gate pulled him from Hell, and the gate that had been opened before, vanished. The balance was set back to it's previous status, and Vinahne was saved for another one thousand years. However.. without it's savior. Crane had been transported to the other side of the Omniverse, to start his journey over.
But, all in all, he had saved his Kingdom. He protected innocent lives, and even those who weren't innocent. With balance, there was calm, and now, he would start the journey back home.
Over the years, he has learned of the Key's powers, and abilities, such as nearly stopping his aging process. He still carries the blade that the Prince had given him, and now searches for the other, of which is named "Save the Princess". Travelling across the Omniverse, he has met many powerful beings, and fought countless battles, and will continue to do so, untill he finds his way back to Vinahne. His home.

Name : Kry Raven
Age : 284 or so. Appears roughly 24.
Gender : Male.
Race : Undead Kagorian.
Personality : Relaxed, intelligent, cold hearted, lazy, but doesn't pass up the chance to fight.
Appearance :
Kry has short, black spiked hair. He has crystal blue eye's, and pale white skin. His body type is seemingly average, but he is much stronger than he looks. This fools most when entering a fight; Usually making their opinion of him differ greatly. He stands nearly 6''0, but slouches constantly.
His clothing is rather awkward for a fighter. A blue shirt, and dark blue worn-out pants, held up by a few belts overlapping eachother. The shirt is accompanied by small straps, of which hold the holster for his blade, the Caladbolg. Also, a small plate covers his upper left chest. This is attatched to his sturdy silver armguard. Along the left arm, there is a tattoo, spelling out the word "Ireland" in Kagorian symbolics. Kry got the tattoo just after obtaining the Caladbolg. Following the tattoo, is a shell bracelet, then a series of rings on his fingers. On the other hand, is a strange auroric ribbon tied throughout his fingers. A ring that reads ancient Kagorian script holds it in a tight manner, allowing the ribbon's tale to flutter about during movements. Travelling up his arm, however, is a slightly disturbing mark called the "Mark of Regret".
Following up to his neck, he wears a chain link necklace with the Kagorian emblem on it ( The outline of a star, with an even sided cross in the middle of it. ) to symbolized his ex-position as King.
He wears black, comfortable shoes, with white laces tucked inside. Although you hardly ever see his shoes, considering his pants are rather baggy.
Weaponary Equipment :
Caladbolg - A legendary weapon, said to have cut the tops off of three mountains with ease. Caladbolg's power comes from it's weilder. The more spirit energy fed to it, the more power it has. However, this power drains quickly, and thus, the weilder must regenerate it's energy often. The blade was forged by Hades, god of the underworld. Crafted with rare metals, such as obsidian, and mythril. The blade itself lengths nearly four feet long, and four inches wide.
On each side of the blade, sit a maroon colored crystal formed by pure spirit energy. One of the crystal's allow Kry's spirit energy to transfer into the blade more efficiently. The other produces an aura while at the same time, acts as a magnet for everything within it's aura. Every being's spirit ( except the gems energy provider ) within this energy dome is drawn towards the gem, connected with it and is disallowed access to the Astral Plane. The ones drawn to the gem, cannot access the Plane, simply because the gem controls the connection. However, this crystal is removable by the weilder as well, to stop the effect completely. In the midst of the blade, is a special gem from Hades. It protects the sword from most moderate magical damage by creating another sort of aura around itself. It provides a moderate magical barrier to sheild magic attacks. The hilt is five inches, just breaking the width limit of it's blade. Gold trimmed, it is also made of obsidian and mythril. The handle is enwrapped with a red ribbon, tied at it's ends.
Silver Armlet - An armlet that sits on Kry's left arm. It's very sturdy, and can minimize damage to that side ( If hit on the armlet, of course. ).
Cigarettes - Strangely enough, Kry has added smoking to his life. Since he is dead, he cannot die. Therefor, smoking doesn't effect him. He carries a pack with him at all times. Mostly Marlboro. The pack is normally located in his back pocket.
Abilities :
Spirit Energy - Kry has the ability to use spirit energy constantly. Since he is dead, he does not tire, and thus he is able to channel mass amounts of energy through his body, and into items, weapons, etc. without growing tiresome. His sword depends mostly on this, and the amount of spirit energy within himself.
Blade of Awe - Forcing mass amounts of Incarnum into Caladbolg, Kry can use the overflowing energy to create a very devestating direct attack, or moderate ranged strike by striking the ground.
Earthquake - Using Caladbolg as a tool, Kry sends Incarnum through the blade, and into the ground, causing a disturbance. The more spirit energy used, the greater effects the disturbance causes. However, Kry has been known to use only his hands to perform this action.
Biography : Kry was born to the beautiful planet Kagoran. It was covered with lush and rich green landscapes; Everything was extravagant, and luxurious. Even it's cities and kingdom's left the average viewer in awe. This land was run by no other than the King of Kagoran. This man happened to be the father of Kry, making him, prince of Kagoran.
Since Kry was a mere child, he had let off a strange and mistifying energy. At the age of two, for example, he had channeled spirit energy into a pebble. Now, most Kagorians could do this, but not at such a young age. It fightened some in the royal family, such as his mother, but to most, he was a golden child. A true King he was to become, and ruler of Kagoran.
However, as the years passed, he proved himself to be a wonderful blessing to Kagoran. He was an A student in his classes, and by the time he reached moderate world history ( This was for all the age of seven ), he had skipped a whole year. Things seemed to be going nicely.
At the age of ten, he was out of school, and ready to learn swordsmanship. His father gladly tought him at request, every saturday, and sometimes sunday. By the age of thirteen, he had become a fine swordsmen.
At fifteen, he was made captain of the Maroon Knights of Kagoran. However, these knights did not have too many missions. Only the average retrieving of payment, from the surrounding city. Sometimes catching a few thugs, but nothing seemed to be.. enough.
Six months after he was made captain of the Maroon Knights of Kagoran, a nearby kingdom declared war with his father. With only a months preperation, the King assembled his armies to defend the assault, as did Kry and his band of Maroon Knights. Going against his father's wishes, he marched to the gates of his kingdom, and battled with the oncoming horde.
For three days, and three nights did this war rage on, untill finally, the Maroon Knights and their surrounding king's army had won. They defended their kingdom, and proved to be an outstanding force. The surrrounding kingdom's fell into a blind fret, and sufficed their attempts. All order was restored.. for now.
A long year passed, and Kry had become a master in the art of swords. However, he seeked something more than this.. and told his father of it. From then on, he was to set out on an adventure, to find himself, and his purpose in this world. To find what he was to become. The king.. or the Knight?
Kry ventured across the land of Kagoran, sailed across the great ocean to the outer continents, battled many beasts ( such as the obsidian dragon in the western mountains ), and met many accomplices. In all of this.. he found happiness, and discovery. The only thing he wanted, was to learn of his surrounding world. So he continued.
On one of his adventures, when he was seventeen, he met an old man while on the road. This man took Kry to hone his skills in the catagory of spirit energy. The man explained to him the wonders of the Omniverse, intergalactic travel, and the Astral Plane; where his spirit energy came from. In all of this.. he had learned of everything he wished to know. But still yearned for more reason, and ability. So, the man told him of a great legend. The Caladbolg; a sword said to cut off the tops of three mountains, using only spirit energy. So.. Kry set out to find it.
After a harsh jounrey, he came upon the ancient land it was said to be. Before long.. he had found it. In a temple, just in the middle of the land. Beautiful it was.. and so he took it. Immediately, he felt the powers it held.. and it cried to him in happiness. Kry's energy soon molded into the blade, and gave it strength. Now.. there was nothing left in the world to find. It was time to return home.
When he arrived at his kingdom, he was showered with flowers and goods from his people. He was now 18.. and would take his place on the throne, as King of Kagoran. Once inside the palace, he received the crown, and was declared King. With his blade in hand, and crown on head, he vowed to protect his kingdom whatever the costs. Even in death; which little did he know.. would be very possible.
Four years later, he was twenty two. A great ruler, and warrior. However... his greatness would be questioned when the evil times ahead were revealed.
Once again, a kingdom had declared war. But this time.. only gave a day's preperation. Kry assembled his troops, and Maroon Knights ( Whom of which he was still captain of ) and lead them to war. However, to a tragic surprise.. they were to face thousands.
For eight days they fought, and were forced to retreat with what forces they had left. Making a last stand at the gate of their kingdom, they defended it, and declared victory. However, the attacker did not declare a loss.
Immediately after Kry had declared victory, the skies turned dark, and thin lightning of red appeared above the kingdom. A terrible red dragon decended from it's depths in the skies, and began to attack the kingdom. In all haste, Kry started towards his tallest tower to make the final stand for his kingdom. For his, Kagoran.
With sword in hand, he channelled as much spirit energy as he possibly could. The dragon then unleashed an unfathomable sphere towards the tower, and insurred destruction. At this, Kry lept from his tower, and struck the sphere. The energies collided, and a mass explosion was created, wiping out Kry, and the dragon. Kry was dead.
Kry then awoke in Kagoran's underworld. The underworld of which was controlled the god known as Hades. After speaking with Hades, he was sent to a FarPlane, to wander endlessly. An act of charity, so to speak. Considering all in the underworld lost their souls.
Meanwhile in his kingdom, a proper burial was made. His sword, which had been shot towards the ground and pierced into it, stood by his statue. A fine remembrance indeed. But what would the kingdom do without a ruler? Fall at the hands of their opposing enemies? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Kry travelled throughout the FarPlane for two hundred or more years. He had become quite connected to it, and felt as if this were now his home. The past had been forgotten.. and everything seemed to be tranquil. Untill, he was summoned by Hades. Hades told him that his punishment for death had ended, and he was to return to his world. Giving Kry a form of himself as he was before he died, he was able to walk among the living world. Although, he did not have a body... only a form of one. In terms.. he was still dead. He did not sleep, he did not eat, nor drink. Only walk, and live in death's shadow. However.. it was time to return to his kingdom once again.
When there, only one word would describe the ruin, and unbearable sights. Hell. Everything was in flame, and creatures of all sorts now inhabitated the kingdom. However, his statue still stand, with his sword sticking out of the ground infront of it. A line of people, and odd creatures stood infront of it, one after another, attempting to pull the sword from it's resting place. Kry, walked to his sword, grasped the handle, and unsheathed it from the earth. With sword in hand once again.. he was fit to fight the being that destroyed his land. Or.. the kingdom that declared war in the first place.
Not much is remembered by Kry, of what happened next. He only remembers blood on his hands, and the kingdom that declared war with his, in flames. Now, he uses spirit energy to travel throughout the Omniverse. He has been on countless adventures, and even so, he does not feel anything. Only stress, or tranquility when he is meditating( which he does often. ).
In all the worlds, galaxy's, and plane's he has ventured into.. Kagoran remains his only true home.
