  Name: Kyren, the Silver Flame
  Concept: Divine Ruler
  Caste: Malefactor (Alternatively Defiler or possibly Slayer) -
  Coajuator: Gilmyne, The Dancer at the Saigoth Gate (As Defiler - Liminita, the Deer that Hunts Men) [As Slayer - Metody, the Malfean Elemental]
  Motivation: To Prove Himself a Great and Worthy Ruler on His own Terms
  Urge: In Progress

  Backstory: Once the heir of a small kingdom to the northwest, on the isle of Rajtul (largest isle off the North), Kyren was rejected by his people when he defied their high priest, perhaps he would have won their commitment to his cause in that moment, but at the critical moment, his conviction faltered and his voice failed him.  For a moment though, he almost pushed on anyway, and his conviction was such that he might have become one of the chosen of the unconquered sun at that moment... but he gave up.   And he was ritually disinherited, by divine ritual and royal law, stripped of wealth, power and possessions, then cast out to the cold, bruised, naked and left for dead... it was then that the demon came to make him the offer... an offer he accepted.

WIP
Wave Conquering Arms
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Name: Wave Conquering Arms
Caste: Slayer
Anima: A cauldron of fury, his anima manifests as a violently roiling blaze of crimson flames tipped with emerald, that seems to radiate from his chest, leaving a small sphere of calm directly over his heart. At the totemic level, his anima raises to a volcanic pillar of flame, now more green than red, rising and spreading, such that to those standing too near, it appears the sky is on fire. And that fire Hates them with a fury beyond mere sanity.
Motivation: Prove himself worthy of Sonnellion (Id like to add, this is to his mind. Sonnellion's approval doesnt exactly matter. To Wave, he'll never be quite good enough)
Urge: ST Fiat.

Bio
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Appearance
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Consider this a basis for Wave's appearance and bodytype; Tall, Muscular, fit. He does however generally go naked save for his tattoos and artefacts (basically, his bracers, boots, and belt). His tattoos cover his whole body, and appear as heavy runes of a deep blood red with a oily, bright green glint that catches the light, they cover his entire body including the face.

As a rule, he does not care to cover herself more than that, as long ago the object of his desire complimented him on his form, and so he shows it off at every opportunity.

So this, minus the straps, skirt, and weapons.

Wave was born of Wavecrest, the son of a renowned captain of the wavecrest navy, he was exposed to the sea and sailing at a very early age. However, it did not take, young Wave had little talent as a sailor, instead, he proved to be a inspired fighter and swimmer, learning many weapons and the basics of several mundane martial art styles designed for use with ship to ship combat. He even defeated all challengers in aquatic sports, including those many times his age. However, he was loathe to not live up to his father's expectations, so he joined the army, and a marine, he came into his own.

Leading men came naturally and he rose easily within the ranks, earning some degree of fame for his actions against pirates, the lintha and others. His destiny came to a head during a routine naval action, when the ship that carried his unit discovered a ship under pirate colours attacking a merchant sow, and turned to their defence... It was a trap. Wave's strategy fell apart when the crew of the vessel they were supposed to be saving turned on them, and rather than cargo, more pirates streamed from the sows hold, and their leader, a being of tremendous power, who glowed like the sun. Wave and his forces were overcome in minutes, Wave himself being one of the last to be brought to be brought down. The survivors were disarmed, brought before the glorious leader, and the man spoke, offering them a place in his service... and he was so beautiful, it would have been so easy to obey.... but Wave could not. Would not. He rose, snarling defiance, to stand before the anathema, he would not bow he would.... nothing. Wave stumbled, reeling as that beneficent visage bored into him, heartbreaking disapproval in his features. Something felt wrong... horribly wrong, as if things were not happening as they were meant to, the sensation was akin to how it felt when you walked in the dark, and put one foot down, expecting solid floor... only to find a abyss.  Wave hit the gangrail, and pitched over it, falling senselessly into the shallows, not nearly shallow enough however... the last thing he remembers, is a inhuman red hand, with too many joints, grabbing him by the front of his shirt, pulling him up onto the beach, his deep guttural words hissing in his ear "Do you want power, mortal? Power enough for revenge? For victory?"


Wave tore his way free some time later, hours... days... weeks... he could not have told, and with a demon's voice hissing in his ear, he followed its direction, reached Malfeas, and was welcomed into the Reclamation. As a new, and very untempered Infernal, he was assigned a mentor to get him started and show him the ropes, the one chosen for this was Sonellion. The Defiler had done a excellent job with Wave, as he had done with many others, recognizing his affinity with martial arts and facilitating his training in the Infernal Monster style, even crafting him a set of mighty bracers to enhance his abilities, as well as nudging him towards pursuing greater communion with the Great Mother, Kimbery to make the most out of his seaborn talents. But more than that.... Wave fell in love with his mentor, and that desire has driven him ever since, though it was never expressed as such... and would probably bungle it horrible if he ever tried to. Mortals and warriors he could inspire easily enough, but stringing a few words together for Sonellion was almost beyond him, as the stunningly beautiful man's presence reduced him to a shy schoolboy with casual ease. Wave didnt even think of himself as being interested in men... But there it was.

When they parted ways, Wave had struggled to find the right words to say... but in the end, it was a unsatisfactory parting.

Beyond that, Wave had joined a circle, and they had worked to bring down the West, using Wave's connection to the navy and military of Wavecrest, the circle installed themselves as heros, defeating pirates, lintha, and many other threats that once plagued the ocean. Using the prestiege they had gained, they expanded their organization, and with careful dealing, won the support of the Tya, as well as rogue elements of many other navies... even the Realm's. With this mighty navy force under their command, they slowly expanded their mandate, shifting from protecting, to policing, to leading. In time, they dealt with other threats to the people of the West, like the Volcano gods of Wavecrest, and the Storm Mothers who plagued the ocean. All the while they spread the cults of the yozi within their ranks, the Tya especially, where entirely subverted into a Kimberian cult.

It is true they had little participate in the main action of the Reclamation, but by the time the eve of the Yozi's freedom was at hand the West was not only already conquered, but eager to serve them. And during the last gasps of the former rulers, when gods and dynasts sought to flee to the vast West, it was the hammer of the Western Infernal Fleet that caught and killed them. And now, that all is said and done, his duty complete, Wave hopes to meet Sonellion once more~

Panoply
-Benevolence Of The Realm (Tainted Jade Perfected Kata Bracers. On FOrm activation, gain +E Accuracy, Damage, Defense, Soak, and +2 Rate. 8m)
Forged by Sonnellion specifically for Wave during his apprenticeship, to bring out the new Infernal's potential as a Monster stylist. He named them with a twist of irony, using Jade as a weapon against Realm and its Dragon Blooded rulers. The bracer appear as solid cylinders of multihued jade, the colours edging around each other in sharp angles, as if composed of several palm-sized pieces fitted together like a jizsaw, with such perfection that once united, they can no longer separate. Forming rings around them are malfean prayers for martial excellence and fury, stamped with starmetal. They cover his arms from wrist to elbow, and are probably his most precious possession, he often caresses them when deep in thought. Something Sonnellion made just for him. Unique. He hopes to one day give Sonnellion a equal gift... perhaps Creation...
-Marks Of Conqueror's Form (All tattoos. Wrought of heavy malfean runes of a deep red with a oily, bright green sheen that catches the light, they cover his entire body including the face, hands, and feet.)

Hey Rz L can we get the sorcery house rule from the Abyssal game added <3

Okay, as I said I really love MxM. Especially when im the frail intelligent dominative one and my partner plays the beefy masculine submissive counterpart. Im still thinking I might find such a partner, if not my characters gender may change  to easier fit with the game and party. Hope not though.

Name: Tristeria, the Bitch Queen
Concept: Pacifistic Mindraping Sorcerer Tyrant
Caste: Defiler (Alternatively Malefactor)
Motivation: To eliminate most free will in the universe and establish a new hierarchy where a few elite rule everything.
Catchphrase: "Can't we all just get along?"
Urge: The Urge to Dominate

"Come honored guests and see the greedy dwarf dig through filth to get his gold!" The poor man in the cage had been born with dwarfism. He had always been treated poorly but the torments of his hometown were memories of a distant paradise since he was kidnapped by the Bachante. Now he was forced to dive head first into liquified refuse and mud to fish out some hunk of pyrite for the pleasure of sadistic aristocrats.

"My Lords and Ladies, watch the giant eat his own penis. The rituals of his primitive culture are odd indeed." Most of the "exhibits" in the show were normal humans mutated by the wild, diseases, or birth defects. They were taken from their homes, put in chains, and tortured until they had little will left. With the Bachante the exhibits were given some fanciful background and made to do horrid things to themselves while the audience watched.

"Esteemed dignitaries, look at the little rat girl scurry for the cheese and sequel when she springs the trap." The announcer was the son of the man who owned the show. They called him the Siren, seeing his beautiful form and listening to his enthralling voice was as much part of the show as the cruel exhibits. At the end of the show he would always sing. The high notes and power of his voice would have made the greatest diva's of the opera green with envy.

One particular night during his mournful song one of the exhibits, a primordial dwarf girl no older than 8, wouldn't stop crying. Her tearful screaming for her mother was loud enough to drown out some of The Siren's more subtle technique. He stopped singing to do to her what he did to anyone who made an unwanted scene during the show; beat her to the point of crippling her further while humiliating her in front of the audience. During the horrid beating the wyld barbarian, who was called the giant, interposed himself between the Siren's lash and the little girl. Now the Siren had to make them both suffer.

The little rat girl wasn't as dumb as dumb and broken as the Siren believed. She picked the locked latch on the giants manacles. The Siren summoned the his guardsmen, but the Barbarian had seen more battles than they. The Siren realized he was in danger when he saw his guards overpowered and the Barbarian take their weapons. He stepped up with his whip determined to beat the barbarian down and cow him back into submission. It was a dramatic standoff, but not an epic one. The Siren had no real combat training and was pinned underneath the barbarian in moments.

The ratgirl had let the other prisoners out. The dwarf wasted no time in running over and cutting the Siren's clothes off. The dwarf's filthy hands stained the siren's smooth legs we he forced them to spread. While many prisoners ran as soon as they had the chance the giant wasn't done. "Now everyone! Watch as I make The Siren one of us!" He shouted as he slashed a knife across his former captors face.

The audience agreed that the rape and mutilation of The Siren was the most arousing performance they had ever seen. The sound of his screams were truly magnificent.

-

The moment of the Siren's (who's real name wasn't quite so grand) stand against the barbarian and catastrophic fall thereafter was enough to earn him an infernal exaltation and a rejuvenation in a chrysalis profane.

I wonder if it would be very difficult to uphold a vow like "Shall not kill" but abuse every god forsaken loophole around the issue. Thou shalt not kill, but thou shalt mindrape, torture, and empower allies to do massive amounts of murder.

considering the character concept above, I'd say I'm more then tentative at this point, I would like to get a bit of feedback on what everyone is playing in terms of caste though, figure out where I should set his caste at.

Well I posted my background, currently I'm almost certain to be a defiler with a heavy dose of Malefactor. Maybe even to the point of being a very technical pacifist.

Is it just me or is Ligier hot as hell? - Okay lame pun aside he is very good looking and has a very attractive personality too.

It is occasionally difficult to live by the vow "I Shalt Not Kill", because sometimes it is just much easier to deal with somebody through vociferous murderation.  You can, for example, do terrible things to heroes, but brainwashing not enforced by Charms and Crippling injuries tends to only last so long after you leave.  The foolish will pick up where they left off and trouble you again; the clever will find other ways to repay the injuries paid them...

A couple of questions.  With the War over (at least for now), what is the status of Yu-Shan-- hardened hideaway, conquered plaza?  Obviously something happened such that the Unconquered Sun was slain, but that could have been an occasion of foul necromancy rather than the conquering of Heaven.

Is the status of the other Incarna known?  Luna is notoriously slippery, and the Maidens are extremely useful for things like 'maintaining causality and Fate' when they are not being rebellious, so there's things that they could well be doing.

Does the Daystar still shine in the sky, or has Thrice-Radiant Ligier taken his former place?

ChaoticSky

i would bet a pretty penny that ligier is doing the rounds now, smashing the daystar is probably REALLY high on his to-do list.
