Description
A slight man enters your vision, shabbily kept, seemingly uninterested in
his general appearance. You notice his hands are bloodstained, yet very
well-manicured. His hair is almost feral, falling past his shoulders in wild
tangles, and his face is smeared with the same blood covering his hands.
He carries himself slightly hunched, as if protecting his right side.
Looking closer, you can notice that there are many scars lining the body
of this half-breed. He carries minor trinkets in a small sack
hanging loosely from his back, and has pieced together various small
armors from various cultures and civilizations. Three slender
rod-like items hang from a loop on his belt, as his eyes finally
come upon you, their blood-red intensity startling. This one
seems to leak shadowstuff as he moves, as well.
Role
The terrordome!
Added Sun Mar 5 17:37:36 2006 at level 1:
Ulzammon has been cast out of society due to his fascination with the dead.
Perhaps it was his upbringing, perhaps not, but he has always enjoyed the sight
and smell of blood. Earlier in his life, he began to spend long hours
near the butchers tent, slowly watching the blood flow from behind the tent into
a shallow pit. Slowly, his love of blood and viscera began to manifest, as several
of his childhood contempories began to disappear. Shortly after, the authorities
found Ulzammon wandering the outlaying forests covered in blood, mumbling incoherantly.
In time, people began to notice something was truly odd with Ulzammon. Perhaps
it was the gruesome trophies he would carve from deer carcasses that were brought
into the village. Perhaps it was the evil look, the hungry look he would give
the victims resting in the medic tent. Soon, he was banished after a grisly murder
took place near the gates of the town. Ulzammon was caught eating the liver
of one of the injured soldiers, he hands deep in the dead man's flesh.
It was then that Ulzammon began to hear legends of an Academy, where he could
learn more about his wilder instincts, and begin to traverse the path of fell
magiks.

Ulzammon found the legendary Academy, and began his training under the guildmasters
of the Shapeshifter's guild. The ability to taste the flesh of one as an animal
intrigued Ulzammon, currying his favor from the guild of necromancers. Perhaps
at a later time Ulzammon might attempt to learn the necromantic arts, but at
the moment he is entirely committed to acheiving his pinnacle in the guild he
belongs to.
While in the Academy, a certain mosaic caught the eye of Ulzammon. He looked
upon the dark coven of magi opening a interdimensional portal with undisguised hunger.
More than anything, Ulzammon wishes to destroy that which is living, for that is the
only source of joy a cursed creature such as he feels. In that portal, Ulzammon
saw the instrument of that destruction. In the carnage that would ensue if those portals
existed throughout Thera, perhaps Ulzammon would be like a God among men.
Or perhaps not.
The Scorpion Prince

In his travels on the Theran Plane, Ulzammon has found few he deems worthy
of his presence. The factions that war for the souls of Theran man, both on land
and in the Heavens, intrigue Ulzammon. In their struggle, he sees the
potential for bloodshed on such a grand scale, perhaps his name will live on
in infamy.
He has encountered two souls that intrigue him at the moment, a dark magus
from Teth Azleth named Xazol, who Ulzammon respects and seeks wisdom from, and a
forest warrior whose lust for blood is quite agreeable with Ulzammon.
Ulzammon has been learning his guild's craft quite adeptly, and anxiously awaits
the culmination of his studies.
Update on his travels. Possible future motivations
Added Sun Mar 19 14:30:29 2006 at level 43:
The Scorpion prince, as Ulzammon has been known to be fond of calling
himself, has began to branch off in his travels. Frequently teleporting around
and exploring different locations, he has found several rifts of planar
energy that both intrigues and confuses him. He has seen one he trusts
gain entrance into the Fold, as well as meeting two other able villains seeking
entrance to the Chasm as well. Ulzammon is rather timid about approaching the
Dark Lords of the Chasm, for he fears they may see into his heart and
learn of his eventual plans. Perhaps they would enjoy his plans, it is something
Ulzammon will find out soon enough.
Upon gaining his forty-third title, Ulzammon learned to change himself into
into a Hyena, as he secretly hoped. Now, his savage and carnal instincts can
manifest itself in the beast he now becomes. What carnage will ensue from this
perhaps even Ulzammon does not know.
Ulzammon's true name, Lineage
Added Sun Mar 19 15:06:36 2006 at level 43:
Ulzammon Zyn'Kala was born from an ill-conceived union. His father, a rogue in
the employ of one of the various mercenary parties roaming Thera. His mother
was a serving waitress at a small bar outside the shire. Born of a one-night
stand, Ulzammon never met his father. He silently both envied and cursed his
father, mostly because of the natural magical abilities the drow lineage
provided. Supposedly, his father was a cast away from some noble house
in the Underdark, something Ulzammon heard one day while seeking refuge in a bar.
At this point, it truly does not matter much. However, Ulzammon
will always look to true drow with a bit of reverance.
