Description
The dark-skinned figure before stands at about five feet ten inches, a
normal height for a human. His ears have a slight point to them, and his
eyes have taken the red color of his apparent drow heritage. His silvery
white hair drops about shoulder length, clean yet unkempt. His face is a
little unset, with a large scar on his right cheek. His nose is a little
crooked, but you wouldn't notice it without close scrutinization. His
thin lips make his face look a little larger than it should, but he still
looks handsome. He has a little facial hair growing, but it's kept in
check with his dark-elven blood. He carries an assortment of small
weapons, knives, and furs.
Role
Tragedy
Added Wed Jun 26 22:52:47 2013 at level 15:
A young half-drow boy played in the street, his drunk step-father coming
home from a long day of work, his meager pay barely allowing them to
scrape by. His human mother sat at home and took care of his younger
half-brother, full human by heritage, and much more tolerated by them.
His father came crashing down the street as usual, picking the boy up by
his throat and throwing him in the house. From there, the daily beating
ensued, and the boy didn't even cry out in pain, it had become such a
routine for him. His mother just averted her eyes, afraid for her own
safety as he rampaged in a drunken haze.
Just as he finished punishing his half-drow boy, some strange men,
adorned in some fine silken clothes and robes, came in the drow. They
offered the man a large sum of money. It was then he told his son to get
out of the room. Of course, being a young boy, Verimal peeked through a
crack in the broken door, hoping to find out what was going on. He could
barely make out the voices, although he did see his father was handed a
large, finely made sword. His confusion didn't last long though, as his
father chopped off his mothers head, without remorse, without a second
thought. The child stared in open eyed horror as he did the same to the
baby.
He froze for a moment until he saw his father slowly walking towards the
door he was behind, and in the brief moment he thought, he fled from the
house. He ran and ran, amazed and horrified at what happened.
After hours of fleeing down the road, he came upon a group of people, who
seemed strange, yet accepted him, despite his drow heritage. Within a
few years, he was out hunting for them, gathering food. Verimal had
found his place.
Eye opening events
Added Wed Jun 26 23:00:32 2013 at level 15:
Traveling with his new companions brought a new life to Verimal. He had
repressed the terrible events of his childhood, and was now living
happily with his newfound family. His silvery mane flowed with the wind
as he moved through the forest, following a deer he had seen, and decided
they would eat well tonight. After a few more hours, he realized the
deer had gotten away. So he had brought back the few rabbits he had
managed to gather.
Something seemed odd as he headed back into the camp, the fire light was
brighter than usual. He didn't change his pace, though, thinking they
had just thrown too much wood on again. His thoughts changed as soon as
he exited the treeline. The whole camp was on fire. He rushed into the
fiery scene, only to see one of the members of his troupe standing obove
the still bodies of the other, cackling, as if he'd gone insane.
"Why?" Verimal yelled at the top of his lungs. He did not like the
reply.
"I tired of this charade. You are a fool to think none of us were
capable of this, including you." Once again Verimal ran, unable to take
the scene in front of him. Deciding it was best to leave civilization
behind, he lived within the forests for the years to come.
Emergence
Added Wed Jun 26 23:01:22 2013 at level 15:
An old man strolled through the silverwood at a leisurely pace, not even
bothered that the goblins may be near. His light hearted whistling and
expression felt like sandpaper on the nerves of the now fully grown
half-drow hiding amidst the trees and shadows. The old man, oblivious
beyond belief of the form stalking him, continued to whistle and sing,
happily enjoying the day. It was when he was deep within the wood that
Verimal stepped in front of him, a cold malice on his face.
"Why are you within my wood, old man?" Verimal said through gritted
teeth
"Why, it is a fine day for a stroll, is it not?" Was the croaking
response of the old man.
"It is not a fine day for a stroll. There are many who would cause you
harm. You are lost in delusions. All men are capable, and willing, with
the right price, to do these things you know as dark, as evil. Let me be
the one to guide you through this delusion, let me be your darkness that
finally emerges from within you!" Verimal struck down the old man.
Summary
Added Wed Jun 26 23:02:18 2013 at level 15:
Verimal was a mostly happy young boy, who just grew up with unfortunate
circumstances. His first tragedy he recovered from, but the second, his
heart grew to stone, and he knew the true nature of all men. He knew of
the darkness within everyone, which could emerge at any time. He no
longer allows delusions of goodness, of doing the "right" thing. He will
be their inner darkness, which forces them to see through their fog of
illusions, their delusions, which is why he has adopted the teachings of
Scarabaeus.
Rejection
Added Sat Jun 29 00:02:54 2013 at level 19:
To become the people's of thera's true inner darkness. To show them
their true nature will defeat them always. I had sought a power within
the chasm for this very purpose. To infuse myself with power from the
shadow planes. When the people of Thera would look upon me, they'd see
darkness, to represent their own. I am their Awakening, to show them
their true way. I may see, but that, is not enough.
The Chancellor does not believe me good enough for their fold. It is
time I show him his error. Qizak, another pledge, has become a target
for me. All others of their fold have become my target. I act in rage.
I act as I see fit, and they shall all pay for his mistakes.
I shall Awaken Thera. No longer will I allow this world to sit in the
dark. All men are dark, all men will do evil, it is time I showed them
to trust no one.
Strange Allies
Added Sun Jun 30 13:36:08 2013 at level 25:
I have met an interesting person of late. We started off as enemies, he
struck me, I struck him, I felled him, he felled me. Yet, we find
ourselves in a strange place now. I had once sought the chasm, he is an
Imperial. Yet, his designs are so much grander, so much better than I
could have expected. He sends souls to the demons of the Abyss, and
seeks to be Emperor to do this on a grand, massive scale. He understands
his own urge for power, he sees.
I can work with this man, Sicarius. I will help him achieve his title of
Emperor, for who knows what power I may obtain in the process. We have
spoken, and become allies. A strange Alliance we hold, but an alliance
nonetheless.
Coming Together
Added Tue Jul 2 00:19:15 2013 at level 35:
The plans laid forth by Sicarius and myself are all coming together. We
recruited Dilatum, or more, he did. I still work in the shadows, as I
prefer it. Dilatum is to be our pawn, to be Warmaster, that he may cast
a vote for Sicarius as Emperor. Even if Dilatum should become Emperor,
with Sicarius whispering into his ear, all will come to fruition.
After slaying Xona, the Anathema, with Sicarius, the Dread Lord wishes to
reward both myself as well as my strange, demon loving friend. He wants
Sicarius as an elite. One step closer to Emperor. He is rising fast,
and all looks to be going according to plan. Now, to work on Dilatum.
