Vayne was a holy demon hunter born a six-hundred years ago. He did his job well, complained a lot, and never became as famous as one would think a demon hunter would be. As a final divine act before his death, Vayne made a Divine Contract that bound him to the reliquary. It was to be a magical lock to keep an Infernal artifact out of the hands of demons. Unfortunately, a good-aligned cleric was tricked into removing the lock; getting the artifact stolen and the cleric's life ended by the necromancer that tricked him. Now Vayne cannot rest until the artifact is retrieved.

Vayne acts up from time to time. And by Act-Up, I mean snidely disagrees to the situation and ends up talking about the good old days and how his divine contract needs to be fulfilled. Only the holder of the reliquary can hear him. Occasionally he is able to rattle the vial or make bubbles in the liquid, but no one really notices.

Tenacity __ __ __ __ __ (More...) Vayne has no physical body; and thus, cannot exert physical force. Fortitude (More...) While the chain is made of mythraline silver, the vial itself is sturdy but breakable with great force. Vayne is immune to poisons and effects that target organic matter. Vitality __ __ __ __ (More...) Without a body, Vayne is immune to most physical stresses, save for extreme temperatures. Articulation __ __ __ __ __ (More...) Vayne has no body; and thus, no muscles.

Intellect __ __ __ (More...) Average intelligence for someone in his current position. (This also pertains to general knowledge and memory.) Perception __ __ (More...) Bound to an object, he can only perceive as much as the wielder of his vial. However, Vayne can identify incorporeal, invisible, and illusory things with acute accuracy. (This includes sounds and movement.) Focus __ __ __ (More...) Vayne is not quite as clever as he lets on, but has an above average capacity for reasoning . (This includes illusions from any magical source.) Charisma __ __ __ (More...) His brash and conflictory nature makes Vayne hard to deal with. But his willpower is ten-fold when facing demons and devils.

Ages in his object form gave an equal time to master his inner magic. However, due to being bound to the item, Vayne can only manipulate himself. This is a list of the forms he can shift the metal and vial into. (Images will hopefully be included in the future.)
* Changing forms always takes a full round of posting and cannot be interrupted unless physically restrained.

Weighted Chain A length of fine chain ended by a vial with capped ends. This is the default form and also can be used as a whip or light weight rope. Short Sword Chain melds into the shape of a guard and blade, leaving the vial as the handle. (Target of damage bonus?) Scythe A curved, crystalline blade erupts from the side of the vial as the chain shortens and solidifies. This form does increased damage to undead, even incorporeal undead. Maul Chain doubles back and coils around the vial, suspending it within a cage that makes up the hammer's head. This form does increased damage to objects and constructs. Chains Of Perdition Striking the vial into the ground, the other end lashes onto or tightens its grip on a demonic entity; anchoring and dragging the creature underground into an eternal purgatory. The demon becomes powerless and cannot break the bonds without outside help. There is a catch: This also permanently binds the chain to the demon, requiring a willing soul to remain as it's warden -- also forever bound to it. Vayne, being the caster of the spell, is the default soul but may not be enough if the chained creature is too powerful.
