Arzhel

History

• Biography

  Personality: Wild and almost completely nuts. Not afraid of anything, and never thinks before he acts. Always getting himself into trouble. He is very warped, and one of the warp symptoms he gets that other races do not is Feral. When he goes Feral, he stops speaking any language aside from garbled Kivuului. He gets down on all fours and literally acts like a wild animal. While not dangerous in this state unless threatened, he is rather unpredictable. This can last everywhere from a few minutes, to several hours. Instinct rules him. He is not warped enough for it to do physical damage to his body, but it has changed the color of one of his eyes, and made his fangs grow out longer, into sabers. Which do get in the way sometimes.
  
  Bio: His mother was a fullblooded Maltese Kivuuli who got separated from the Maltese Colony and ended up joining a colony of normal Kivuuli. She bore an egg for one of the regular Kivuuli males; Arzhel.
  
  When he was nearly grown, his Colony was attacked by the Dragon’s Cult. They were all killed, with him being the only one to escape.
  
  He wandered aimlessly for a time, until he saw a human working with thaumaturgy. He thought that thaumaturgy could hold the key to getting his vengeance. As he learned more and more he completely forgot all about wanting revenge in his quest for knowledge. The magic utterly fascinated him with all of its massive potential, even as Warp took hold. He delved deep. Very deep, and is fast sliding down the slippery slope that is forbidden knowledge. He has gotten both the Eldritch Revelation and the Eldritch Epiphany. Due to Warp, he gets headaches, hears whispers and voices, hallucinates, and can act downright erratic and strangely at times. The Warp can come in handy, however, since the voices often lead to strange and useful discoveries. He is fully aware of the consequences, but doesnt’ care in the least and just keeps going deeper.
  
  The Crimson Cultists have gotten an interest in him, because of his species’ Heartstones. It has massive vis storage capabilities. It can store a ton of vis, and even convert general energy around him into vis, since Kivuuli do take in energy from around them as part of their feeding habits. Because of this, he’s described by some (Namely Adamai) as a walking node. If he was killed, it could hold even more vis, since it wouldn’t have his life energy within it. As such, he’s actively hunted by a small sect of cultists. That… and he pissed on their obelisk and the sect leader’s robes during a Feral warp effect.
  
  Being Kivuuli gives him some natural abilities that other Thaumaturgists do not have. It does make some parts of Thaumaturgy considerably easier for him. His thick skin protects him almost as well as diamond armor, and wearing armor would just weigh him down and slow him down. That, and being catlike, creepers run from him. (He finds it hilarious to chase them until he gets too close and they explode anyway. Dumbass. xD)
  
  He also has a natural regeneration that keeps going until he sustains a significant amount of damage. It is a natural adaptation for Kivuuli that serves him well, especially when infusions go wrong and he ends up with a magical zap to the hiney.
  
  He can also very easily see the flow of energy and does not need goggles of revealing to find nodes and be able to tell what they have in them. His heightened senses, natural for a Kivuuli, help greatly as well.
  
  He is able to extract ethereal essence from things by creating small dimensional cracks that heal within seconds. These little cracks can SOMETIMES generate nodes, depending on where and how he does it.
  
  His pendant has runic shielding +10 along with fire resistance (Damn cultists and their fire magic!) added in as well. He can take several blows without damage, but once the Runic Shielding goes down he has to jump away and let it refill from the vis stores in his heartstone.
