Power and Traits

Magic and Quantum Attributes: Chaosmancer - Path of Chaos. Maelmorda has mastered all levels of the six pentacles of chaos and has incredible Magic Abilities. He has Mastered the Nine Spheres of Chaos and can command any path BUT holy. Through the Path of Chaos he has mastered all the spell books but those paths he cannot command. His magic abilites are omnipotent. Though his knowledge of spells is fantastic; he is discreet about using his powers, his more potent supernatural powers in particular. His vanity allows him the amusement of conjuring petty pleasures at will, like food, drinks, or gifts for the ladies nevertheless. He is a powerful invoker and can summon many beasts and almost any item at will. Keep in mind, He is The Morning Star, and he introduced the concept of magic to the universe.

Deific Embodiment of Chaos

Spell Book:
Path of Chaos: Chaos Aspected - Chaosmancy
All aspects of chaos and its command paths have been mastered. Light Damages to weild by 50% of normal damage owed to him being suffused with abyssmal energies..
Chaosmancer Disadvantage: Spells botch with full backlash damage if no aces are rolled and backlash damage is doubled if spells botch with more 1s than successes.

Deific Advantages:

  • Embodiment of Chaos: This deific devil form can fuse with any element but light and command that element with no penalty. The scales, horns, and wings of this form reflects the appearance of that element's visible characteristics. At cost of -25 HP each, additional elements can suffuse this deity. The HP loss is constant until multiple elements are rejected by the devil. His life force is also improved by +100 in this form as is his stamina by +20, his regeneration by +10, and his fortitude by +8. This form can also morph size to attain a titan status. He never assumes a titan form however unless combating a titan and he never betrays who he is within that form unless he has no other choice. All Physical Damage +100 and +25 Strength in Titan form
  • Arcane Acumen: By calling this power into his embodiment he can recall any power from his archives and use any power in any spell book with exception of light and holy.
  • Elemental Oneness: Whatever element he is fused with is soaked by him if he is attacked by it or if he finds a pure source of that element, and increases his HP by +25
  • Appearance as God of Chaos: This form is adorned with three massive pairs of overlapping feathered wings. His feet are clawed hooves (+35) and the fingers of his human hands are tipped with talons (+18). His head is human, equipped with long fangs (+10), and crowned with flared goat horns. His chest and body is bare from the waist up, and from the waist down he is covered with smooth scales with a slit where his loins are, and he has a thick scaled tail which can whip like a lion's with a razor sharp pair of bone blades on the end. All that is scaled, bone, or feathered mirrors the appearance of the element or elements he fuses with, while the human aspects of this form are ivory fair and hairless in appearance with exception of his curling, black hair. His flesh is no less delicate than his scales despite its tender appearance nevertheless. His eyes are jade green and glow with an ethereal light. When this form is violet and black it is most dangerous, for that is when he has fused with all of the elements he commands. His angel form has the same appearance only it is without a tail.
  • Omnipotent Sight: As a deity The Morning Star can see and hear with clarity anything of and under his creation at will and as many things at once as he desires. His wisdom dictates when he should or should not interfere in what he oversees and to act unwisely in concerns to his visions dims his ability to see.
  • Enmesh Attributes: All of his forms are enmeshed with his deific form thus he can tap attributes of any form at will, and from those form harness his deific abilities with exception of morph size, albeit the strain on his lessor forms will drain his stamina far more rapidly at -5 stamina per attribute tapped.
  • Sublime Creationist: As a deity he can create beings, life, worlds, parallels, aspects of worlds, alternate worlds and planes, and even solar systems to his specifications over a period of time and at the expense of a great deal of stamina. Loss of -10 stamina to tap this power and each aspect of creation must be formulated one stage at a time. If stamina loss is sustained over too long of a period he is weakened by 50% (power and physical checks) for up to +1 week per stage after he has completed a project

    • Tsulaerius (Angelic) Embodiment

  • Appearance: This form resembles his deific form exactly only without a tail, and sometimes with, and sometimes without horns. This form is adorned with three massive pairs of overlapping feathered wings. His feet are clawed hooves (+35) and the fingers of his human hands are tipped with talons (+18). His head is otherwise human, guise of Mael, only equipped with long fangs (+10), and is sometimes crowned with flared goat horns. His chest and body is bare from the waist up, and from the waist down he is covered with smooth scales with a slit where his loins are. All that is scaled, or feathered is flesh coloured and all which is flesh mirrors the appearance of his Maelmorda embodiment down to the hairless, satin smooth flesh, and loosely curled, brunette hair. His flesh is no less delicate than his scales despite its tender appearance nevertheless. His eyes are jade green and with them he can charm, mesemerize and capture the will of others.
  • Vocal Command: with his voice alone the Morning Star can influence and command the will of others as well as call up the powers of the Eternal Flame and the paths he commands. Range of influence extends to whoever can hear him.
  • Mental Command: with his 'mental' voice he can influence and command the will of others as well as call up the powers of the Eternal Flame and the paths he commands. Range of influence relies on having a connection to a subject by sight, acquaintence, possession of something personal to intended recipient, or by THEM speaking HIS name (Auros, Mortarris, rather The Morning Star spoken in any language understood by him).
  • Wings of Chaos: with his wings he can project his presence, heal, and emit the azure light of the eternal flame to purify, recreate, resurrect and even vaporize. Range is up to +1 foot per success, doubles on a crit.
  • Sight Unseen: while in this form he can call up possible futures as lucid visions, the past and see things as they are happening at will. He can also see into the memories of others. Use of this ability weakens his body (-1 strength and stamina per +1 knowledge gained; -5 health per +1 knowledge gained; up to +1 knowledge gained, +1 per ace). He can share these visions with others if he makes physical or mental contact them while perceiving these auditory images.
  • Elemental Flourish: hundreds of elemental ribbons extend from his feathers and his fingers, which whip out as wings and feathers snap out at aim, or which slice through the air at opponents as he performs rapid pivots and spins. The extremeties of the elemental ribbons can solidify into blades and spikes while simultaneously maintaining ethereal qualities which penetrate armour. Up to +1 elemental effect per -1 AR, MA Level x Elements Used = damage, x 2 on a crit. Often factored with 'anti-shielding' factor which penetrates shields and walls of force if LoD of shield is defeated.

  •   Special Trait Abilities (see Special Abilities)

    Soul Hunter: this dragon sustains itself on the life force it drains and on souls, and can be found wandering the wastes of the abyss, barrenlands, acheron's lost caverns, the dead realms, the dark realms, and even Annwn in search of souls. Abyss dragons seldom rip souls from the living unless they are attacked, or unless hunting FOR food.  This dragon's miasma drains life force from anything it contacts, including the plants, insects, small animals and spirits the dragon passes, so is constantly 'feeding' off the world around it.  This maintains its general health.  If injured however, it must feed to restore itself. 
  •   Each 'sentient' soul (person) fully restores the dragon (from damage and check losses).
  •   Each large animal soul (horses and larger) restores 20% of the dragon.
  •   Each medium to small animal's soul (rabbit and larger) restores 10% of the dragon.
  •   Tiny animals, such as insects, mice, or minnows, do nothing unless the dragon breathes in an entire swarm (horde, school etc.) which counts as one small or medium animal.

    Abyss Phase: this dragon is always partially phased into the abyss, is part of the abyss, and as such can phase in and out of the abyss completely at will.  It is for this reason its flesh is infused with the miasma of the abyss.

    Description


    Tribe: Only TWO of these dragons exist
  •   Erebus, the dragon form of the Morning Star
  •   Traerson, only offspring of Erebus.
    Appearance: This is a large dragon with many whiskers, spines, spikes and lizard-like skin. Jet black with electric blue (powers inactive) or ultraviolet (powers active) eyes. Neck is somewhat long and is muscularly thick.  Tail is long, rigid like a dinosaur's, held erect off the ground, and can deliver powerful blows, tip also armed with spikes of black bone.  Head is large, with spiky cheek and ear fins and lots of spines and whiskers.  All these characteristics of the dragon are shrouded in a blackish ether called Abyssal Miasma which confuses the senses making it difficult to examine the dragon's appearance closely.  One has to gaze on him for hours to get a true idea of what he looks like beneath the black vapors which surround and drift around him at all times.

    Alignment: chaotic alignments only... Any who the Morning Star makes into this dragon shift towards chaotic; chaotic evil, chaotic good, lawful or neutral becomes chaotic, meaning they adhere to laws and rules only when it suits them to, most often adhering only to their own laws.  "I am a law unto myself." Was it any wonder the Morning Star had only created one other out of his Erebus form?

    Abyss Pendrasi

    Duel Forms: Pendrasi can shift between Subrace (add subrace stats to CS) and Abyss Dragon form (add all Abyss Dragon stats to CS).

    Duel Form Taps:      both forms can 'tap' or channel powers from the other form without taking on physical aspects.

    Partial Shift:     subrace form can take on some physical aspects of the dragon such as claws, wings, tough scaly skin (emitting or omitting miasma), tail, and or dragon eyes, taking on the appearance of a dragon-kin in a full partial shift.  Dragon stats at 50% during partial shift.

    Duel Shift:      this ability, which allows the Draek to split off into BOTH of its embodiments, subrace and dragon at the same time, is unique to Abyss Draeks.  Now able to ride him/herself, and take someone on two on one, the Draek packs twice the punch.  Duel form taps and partial shifts not possible while duel shifted.

    Breeding:
  •   Subrace form produces subrace babies with viable mate, in effect; elven Draek in elf form produces elf baby with an elf.  Human Draek in human form produces Nephalim baby with Tsetar or Sephiroth.  No dragon traits are inherited.
  •   Dragon form with another dragon produces dragon babies; Falcor dragons since no female abyss dragons even exist (that anyone but Erebus knows of). 
  •   FULL partial shift form produces Dragon-kin out of viable humanoids.
  •   Falcor and Dragon-kin offspring get only TWO traits (physical and or special) from the Abyss Dragon side, much as the very nature of what Abyss Dragons are makes their genus difficult to achieve at best.

    Generation Bonus:     1st gen start at level 5; 2nd gen start at level 3; 3rd gen start at level 2.

    • Advantages and Disadvantages

    Immunities: Disease, Poison, Necromancy, Aging, Altered Regeneration, Forced Time, Forced Travel, Cloning, Duplication, Forced Metamorphasis, Mental Probes, Metaphysical and Aural Probes, Heat, Cold, Elements and Powers of the Abyss

    Strengths: Power, genius, charisma, wisdom, intuition, subterfuge, fighting skills, physical strength, incredible consitution, logic and cunning. His most powerful advantages are his wisdom, subtlety, the arts of deception, and cunning.

    Weaknesses:

  • Penalties: Certain penalties can leave him weakened and vulnerable for a period of time
  • Double Geis: Maelmorda has a double geis, or two ways of death, and is vulnerable to particular powers. In order to destroy or do serious injury to him, one must discover what his weaknesses are.
  • Possessiveness: His greatest mental weakness comes from his attachments to his immediate family and loved ones who he might blindly risk his life for or lose his everpresent self-possession over. He is also very protective of those who are loyal to him and can be called out if they or his loved ones are threatened
  • The Black Spire of Annwn: The horn of a particular type of creature, acquired by a certain feat, can result in a transient death which forces his rebirth into a mortal form. It can take years for him to reclaim his immortal spirit out of a mortal rebirth. If killed while mortal; his spirit is trapped in Acheron for as long as one hundred years (highest roll out of 3 on a 1 d100). Those who know of the horn invariably believe it is the death of The Morning Star inasmuch as he leaked that it was so to those who knew of the spire

    • WoD: To destroy The Morning Star, one must destroy his spirit, and in order to do that, all of his forms and his proxies and the soul within them each must be destroyed or at least captured (yes, place them all together and see what happens). If all his forms are destroyed, his will breaks, and his quantum being collapses, for in each of these beings he created, whether in himself or a proxy, he put part of himself.

    The angel within him is his will, the devil is his mind (intelligence), the demon is his flesh (fortitude), the vampire is his blood (magic), the dragon is his strength, the God is his wisdom (perception), the beast is his determination (stamina), and his human form is his heart (ethics--alignment).

    Killing any one of these parts of him does him serious damage and trouble, but in time he recovers (40 d6 check recovery per day, +1, +1 per ace). In order to insure that he can never be resurrected, all of his forms and his proxies must be destroyed, for in each of them a part of him lives.

    The only other way to destroy him, is to raise him into the light and trap him there for a lethal duration (-40 d6 HP, -1 d6 Fortitude and Stamina per day) (can be pre-rolled to determine duration.) All other deaths are transient (temporary). If The Morning Star is destroyed all of the power in Acheron is also destroyed, and Acheron affectively dies, leaving only its petrified hull remaining as a cold, desolate cavern world. All the fires and other elements in Acheron cease to burn. Hell endures however under a new Prince, Sammael if he is alive.
