[InfinityBeholden]

The OOC for the XIV RP. Here we can post character sheets, discuss RP related events, ask questions and anything of like. Though I imagine it's mostly for character sheets!

• Malleus The Protector - Number 7
• Legend
• Life

• 
  Gender:
  Lost to legend and indecipherable through the armor.
  
  Age:
  Again, indecipherable through the armor, though estimated to have been around 25.
  
  Race:
  Human.
  
  Personality:
  Much more jovial and gregarious than the cold metal metal exterior would suggest, Malleus is a startlingly happy-go-lucky person. A classical hero of justice, they hold friendship, loyalty, honesty, and whatever other values you'd find preached by a Saturday morning cartoon, in high esteem. They get along quite well with strangers, seemingly oblivious to their heavily armored appearance.
  
• 
  Primary Weapon: "Behemoth"
  A massive war hammer with a face larger than a man's torso and a shaft taller than two of him. The back has two picks, looking much akin to a modern claw hammer.
  
  Summary:
  A close ally of the "Hero" of the story, Malleus was the defender of the people and their allies in the party known as "The Luminous Heroes". Malleus was noted for the resplendent and imposing suit of armor that never strayed too far from the party, and holy magicks that protected all those in need. Sadly, along with the rest of their allies, Malleus's life was cut short as The Luminous Heroes lost their lives slaying the Fiend King, Bahomus.
  
  Memoir Power:
  Malleus can cast holy and protective spells as well as summoning the aforementioned Behemoth. A more passive effect is that their size has increased compared to their real life, now standing at a whopping 11'10" due to exaggeration of how grand and majestic Malleus is remembered as being. Behemoth was affected by this as well.
  
  Skills:
  Malleus is incredibly strong, charismatic, and durable, as well as being very capable of learning and casting "divine" magicks.
  
• 
  Reality:
  A small difference is that her true name is Iustitia, and "Malleus" was an alias she used in public. Elsewise, the big difference was that she was the sole survivor of the battle with the Fiend King. She failed to protect her friends, and watched them die before her, even being protected by the "Hero" who took a killing blow in her stead. Enraged, she bludgeoned the then fatigued Bahomus to death, striking him far beyond his demise. Shamed beyond measure, she wandered into the wilderness, where she lived the rest of her life without meeting another person. Due to this, the legend goes that Malleus died in the fight as well and her true role is unknown.
  
  Real Life's Power:
  When her allies are injured, Iustitia gains a boost to her physical and magical capabilities from willpower. It's more accurately a boost in output rather than quantity, allowing her to expend more of her energy.

  PERSONALITY:
  Victor gives an impression to all who meet him of total enigma and utter ominosity. Victor is something of a gruff and aloof sort of person when he's not with his immediate inner circle of friends. He doesn't tend to be outgoing and often seems to be wearing a frown, which doesn't help open conversations with strangers. He tends to cherish his privacy and doesn't appreciate people poking their noses into his personal life. He knows that a lot of what he's done is still wrong, but even so, he doesn't like to talk about it.
  
  He is defined by several overpowering personality traits, some of which are at direct odds with one another. What bridges all of it is his confidence. Victor Vaughn takes great pride in his ability to depend upon himself for just about anything, and never finds a situation too grim for hope. He's of the disposition to believe that anything can be overcome with sufficient know-how, and his wide variety of skills and resources only bolster this belief in himself. Nothing is ever impossible, and Victor has very little time for anyone who disagrees.
  
  Victor is eccentric. He spends so much time in other dimensions and associating with magical beings that elements of normal human life escape or perplex him. He has trouble managing his finances or noticing when his clothes are out of place. He loves just getting a chance to stop and eat a hotdog, or Astral Project into a Mets game.
  
  He is a also very calm, determined individual when he wants something. He's not the type to explode into histrionics, or ever really let anyone get a good bead on how he's feeling -- stiff upper lip and all that. He can be stubborn, but only when he knows he's right, and frankly, he knows he's right 100 of the time. All the same, he's not the type to be goaded into a fight, what with cooler heads prevailing and all. Most attempts to bait him will fail.

  Paraphernalia:
  
  
  (Primary Weapon) Eye of Agh'ateith:
  Regarded as either the third Eye of Agh'ateith, this amulet represents prescience, with its power manifesting knowledge. It is a powerful and valued artifact that has many functions, most commonly dealing with the truth, light, and sight. Using the Eye, Victor can see through any lie, deception, or illusion, send the eye out at light speed to intercept and absorb massive amounts of any type of energy, and free others who are trapped in their own illusions. It is often used to amplify his mind's eye, giving powerful psychic abilities. It is also often used to play back an area's past events, lift beings weighing thousands of pounds into the air, open dimensional portals, as well as place beings in suspended animation. The Eye can track beings by their psychic or magical emissions. The light given off by the Eye also weakens a variety of evil mystical beings, such as demons, devils, undead beings, and dark extra-dimensional entities, and even sufficiently corrupt human practitioners of dark magic. When used offensively, no being can withstand its light for long; due to its lethal effect, it is often used as a weapon of last resort. The amulet can only be used by a being with a pure heart and a clean soul. The Eye of Agh'ateith is the name commonly given to the amulet that contains the Eye of Agh'ateith, known as the Amulet of Agh'ateith, though the Eye itself actually resides within the amulet and is released from time to time.
  
  
  Crytorryk-Sar’s Chains of the Crimson Dawn:
  Chains crafted from the bones of Crytorryk-Sar and dipped in the blood-endless sea of the dimension known as the Crimson Dawn. These foreign chains are nigh-unbreakable and were forged in ways unknown. The chain appears to be quasi-sentient and obeys Victor's mental commands. When inactive, it will link to itself in a loop so that it can be worn as an accouterment to Victor's clothing. When he wants it to do so, it separates to form a multipurpose weapon. The chain is capable of mystically extending to greater lengths. Its upper limits are unknown. The chain's basic use is in the form of a flail, whereby the spiked head is whipped around to strike targets at close range. With the chain gripped at one end, the other can be used to ensnare a target in a manner similar to a lasso. The chains glow with a red-hot glow and constantly emit crimson energy. The chains, however, possess a unique effect that allows innocent or “good” people bound by the chains to be able to escape easily. This is why it's nigh-unbreakable, but those who are dedicated to evil and bound by them experience great pain. ​

  Powers:
  
  Extra-Dimensional Energy Manipulation (Multiversal Magic) :
  By harnessing energy drawn from other dimensions of the Multiverse to cast spells, Victor can manipulate it to create a variety of esoteric effects. Once a dimension's mystic potential has been tapped, he may manipulate it to form and hurl dimensional energy blasts (usually referred to as "Bolts of Bedevilment") or erect basic dimensional shields. Illusions and disguises are also woven together out of dimensional matter. Being highly versatile, it can be used to generate near-invulnerable constructs of tangible dimensional energy, such as melee weapons and shields, as well as to cast spells by conjuring specific formations and geometric patterns with the white fiery energy. While many of these arrays of intricate holographic symbols commonly appear as rings or bands that surround the caster's arms.
  
  Exocentric Arts/Arcanum Exo:
  Exocentric (from the Greek: exo, "outside") This very advanced form of magic, originally known as the Golden Way, refers to the form of magic that draws upon forces from dimensions outside our own. Only very experienced sorcerers are able to communicate with powerful mystical beings that inhabit these "other dimensions" and appeal to them for assistance. To invoke the aid of godlike beings (also referred to as the mystic principalities) a sorcerer must master subtle gestures and mudras in order to increase the chances of receiving a positive response.​

  Memoir Power:
  
  Mirror Dimension Manipulation:
  The Mirror Dimension is a parallel dimension that mimics Earth's plane of existence. It is complete with the same surroundings and inhabitants, but its visual appearance is distorted like fractured mirror. Accessible only by users of exocentric magic, sorcerers use the Mirror Dimension as a reconnaissance platform, keep an eye on threats without being noticed, and a prison for those who cannot travel to other dimensions and a teaching aid for magic practitioners, since it can be reshaped and manipulated freely without fear of adversely affecting the natural order of the world.
  
  Planeswalking:
  Victor can create dimensional rifts to alternate universes, which he can use to traverse realities, timelines, and dimensions across the vast Multiverse. He is able to accomplish this by accessing the Gate through thought alone and opening gateways to other worlds. By this definition alone, he has the power to be aware of anything that affects his surroundings on a quantum level. He is aware of anything and everything that affects him on an omniversal scale, so much so that he can see beyond time and space, peering into distant worlds beyond his own, as well as the dangers of which they present to his own world. ​

  Skills:
  
  Expert Occultist & Magical Knowledge:
  During his studies which continued until recently, Victor has gained expert awareness of cults and the extra-dimensional entities they worship, this knowledge as of yet far exceeds any on Earth in the Universe. Possessing a vast knowledge of other dimensions and magical forces out there, Victor holds great insight and intuition, the ability to synthesize from knowledge proper problem solving, a gift for learning, and a profound strength of self, a mind highly resistant to manipulation or control of others. This does not make him immune to mind control or telepathic influence or sensory alteration, but it does make him more likely than most to notice this and stronger than most in combatting the influence if noticed.
  
  Expert Strategist:
  Though Victor seems to suffer from an impulsive nature, instinctively jumping into situations of life or death, it's apparent that he works best this way possessing considerable strategic skills, which have been employed in leadership structures, and spontaneous situations, all of which are a necessity in the random environment of Mysticism.
  
  Expert Martial Artist:
  Victor is a gifted athlete who has received training in a variety of ancient martial arts techniques employed by mentors in various universes. When he was unable to use his sorcery, these abilities had come in handy. He also has traditional/combat weapon proficiency thanks to his training. He has attained a condition of Peak Human Bodily Condition as a result of his extreme training.​

  Legend:​
  
  Known as the traveler of Worlds beyond, Victor was considered a freelancer and a seeker of knowledge that lies deep within the confines of the Multiverse. He was a defender of not one world but of many, he yielded magics older than time and used it to fight malevolent forces that threaten the stability of space-time and others who seek the destruction of all there is. Despite this, because of his multiversal status, no one truly knows of his true origin. All that is known is that he was from another multiverse where magic was raw and true in its form.
  
  One theory was that he came from a universe just like ours, with the same surroundings and places but fractured in appearance, but he lived alone in that universe. But after a surge of magical activity took place, he took notice and traveled to the other universe where he saw others alike and resided ever since, grateful for the hospitality the people of Earth gave him and defended the world and dimensions beyond.
  
  Another origin, and the most popular, was that he was born a normal human being, with no exposure to magic at all, and lived with his mother who he took care of ever since. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and his mother died years later of a sickness. Despite all he did to save her, he couldn't and went into a deep depression. Victor heard legends of a powerful sorcerer named Yao who could raise the dead, he traveled to the Himalayas to meet this wizard. However, Yao refused Victor's request and instead offered to teach him magic. Though initially refusing, a powerful blizzard kept him in the palace where he reluctantly agreed. For years Yao taught Victor the ways of sorcery and martial arts, and he learned of the existence of the Multiverse through the Book of the Vishanti, where he began traveling to other dimensions and realities using a mysterious force known as the Gate. A final test awaited Victor, a challenge given by Death herself. When he completed the task, Victor was granted longevity and took on the responsibility of protecting his universe from mystical threats. Ever since then, he has been protecting Earth and other universes as its most powerful spellcaster from the evils of great evils like Chthon and Shuma-Gorath.
  
  Due to the variations of his story, his true origin has been obscured and drowned by his Legends, and the only person who knows of his true origin is Victor himself. But that's a secret that he'll keep for the rest f his life.
