Name: Kirian Slithos. Nickname: Fist of the Battlefields (old title), Kiri. Age: 24 (been dead for 200 years though.) Gender: Male Rank of Royalty: - Military Rank: Ex-1st Lieutenant/Namely a 1st Lieutnant, Verdant - Small rebel army, 200 years ago./Now with Verdant Nation: Kainat Marital Status: Widowed Species: Inteligent undead. Physical Appearance: - Height 6'0'' - Weight 170 pounds - Hair Black, partly white. - Eyes Red - Skin Pale Personality: While Kirian was living, he was man full of emotions. He was as easy to get laugh, as he was to anger. But his almost ritual like discipline kept his emotions in control, if need be. So he was also calm and collected, but always ready to laugh. After his revival, however he never could find the same satisfaction on small things as he could when he lived. He grown silent, distant, sarcastic and almost cold. Still he kept something from his past, and that was to honor his code. He could never go against his own word, if he gave it to someone. Character Flaws: +He can never be on direct sunlight long periods of time. This is why he usualy travels heavily clothed during days. +Also he cannot be healed with positive or holy energies, as they have oposite effects. +Once per month he must perform a small ritual to keep his body from rotting. +Anyone that is able to sense the presence of undeads, will also notice Kirian. +Using his Ki and spiritual powers exhausts him, so he cant use his powers unlimted times, as he must rest at some point. Alas, his spirit power is one of the factors that holds his body together, so if he is too exhausted, his body will start to rot and decay. Biography: Childhood – Most of his childhood Kirian spent learning martial arts and discipline in old monk temple, on the shore of Aria, near the Angin. They did not worship any deity, but rather strived for self perfection of body and mind. His parents were both teachers in this temple. That temple also served as headquaders of small rebel faction that were against the dominance of elementals, as many of elemtas had grown arrogant and pridefull, according to them. This however was not something Kirrian worried back then, he just happily practiced the arts with girl who was his childhood friend.
Teen Years – As Kirian grew older, it was clear that he was a prominent fighter, he had mastered most of the things that he could learn by age of 16 and he was then taken to planing sessions of this small army too. As were his childhood friend, who he had grown fond of. After few years of planing and gathering forces, the rebels had no less than ten thousand men in they're army.
Yearly adulthood – He was 18 then, and was appointed as one of the commanding officers who would lead the troups, and also hapily married with his childhood friend. Half a year after that, the army launched its first attack and so begun yet another war in the bloody history of Semesta. The war raged three full years, where Kirrian and many other valiant warriors earned fame with they're heroic battles, but the war still ended into the loss of rebels. Still elementals spared some of the commanding officers from death penalty, maybe because of pity, maybe because for some other reason and even if this angered some of the elementals. So Krian returned to his home and decided that he would devote his life for his wife from now on. Everything went hapily until one day elmental assasins managed to invide his home and assasinate him and his now pregnant wife. Kirians body was later taken and preserved with magics and alchemy and put into mauseleum that was devoted to commanders of war. There it rested almost 200 years.
Present Day – Arround five years ago some necromancers and alchemists had this great idea of building up army of inteligent undead from long lost war heroes and comanders. This was suppoused to be a gift for this new rebel group Verden, so that they would finally be accpted in. This plan failed however as not as many were under they're direct command as they had hoped, and many didn't even rise in intelligent condition. But few did, Kirian among those few, and they're bodies were enchanted with rituals and such that would prevent them from decaying and gave them they're previous looks back. Didn't take long for someone from higher up to notice what was happening though and relatively soon everyone were killed in that secret ritual building. Or taken in as prisoners. Kirian survived that fight however, as they're attackers thought he already died, because he lied lifeless in the floor. Having nowehre to go, Kirian followed the only lead he had and got himself enlisted to Verdant's lines. Where he has served as a soldier and martial art teacher for few years. He also spend his time learning about history relating on himself. And what little he learned, only fueled his rage against the elementals.
Undead Traits Gained by the ritual that awoke him, or are just typical things that undead have; - Does not feel hunger, get tired (but does get exhausted) and wont feel pain. - Is able to "fix" his fallen/broken limbs by attaching them back and concentrating for some minutes. He still needs to have 40% of his body intact to do this. Smaller wounds regenerate faster. - Is healed by negative and unholy energies. - Can control, but not create weaker undeads.
Class: Monk Special Abilities to your Class: - Spiritual control. This lets Kirian to boost his body's physical capabilities, temporally boosting his movement speed, strength, endurance and so on. Long useage can cause severe damage to his limbs though, making them break down at worst cases. -Purity of Body Kirian's long training with Ki and his undead traits have made him imune to diseases and poisons. As well as highly resistant to magical enchantments. -Ki Strike Can boost his unarmed strikes with Ki by great extend.
Occupation: Martial art trainer for people in resistance.
Talent(s): - Martial art skills equilevant of master. - Great acrobatics skills - Keen senses, with the exception of his taste. He can't taste much of anything.
Pets: Mechanical beetle, made and gifted to him by Ginny. He named it Syz, honoring his lost wife Syhezia.
Other Information We should know: Kirian looks human, even if slightly pale and red eyed. His skin regenerates as normal, unless he has exhausted his Spritual energy. In that case his body starts to rot and skin melts away. This may also hapen if he is under the direct sunlight for too long.
Second thing to note here is that even if I used the term "war" in Kirian's history, the war was rather small, and mostly fought with "hit and run" tactics in various locations, often far from cities. It was rebelions test run, but was silenced rather quickly down. The main history books mention little to nothing about this and mentions can only be found on some side notes of smaler, less known history books.
