-Character Description-

Name: Adsurgo Coma

Age: Ageless. (Cliché? Yeeeeup. Sorry.)

Gender: Genderless. And this results from, as you so eloquently put it, not having the proper “tools” to classify one or the other. Appearance is generally male, though.

Race: Evence (Avatar of Sorrow)

Evence- an overview

Evence are humanoid creatures, appearing as a normal human with the exception of their sharp, slanting foreheads and lack of eyebrows. Their eyes glow a luminous viridian color, except in special circumstances (described in detail later). Evence society and culture is very different than humans, and as such Evence frequently make social blunders that humans would think highly rude.

Evence- a history.

Evence were created, so the legend says, by the God Abobwyn, who was a just and righteous God. Abobwyn formed The universe from his tears, however he wept tears of joy rather then tears of sorrow. As the droplets fell, they formed the universe, and as they splashed into pieces, each of these pieces became the mystic stars. As he saw his work, Abobwyn laughed, a laugh from the just and pure soul, and upon the planet of purity, Earth, sprang abundant life and water. When Abobwyn completed his work, he took the guise of an Evence, and had many wondrous adventures among his people. But that is a tale for another day.

Abobwyn is the sole God among Evence, however before he departed the universe, his gift to his people, whom he cherished most of all the universes life, was the Avatars. Avatars were created as incarnations of an emotion. Three of these Avatars were those of Abobwyn’s most cherished feelings, his prize spawn of the universe. These were Compassion, Glory, and Justice.

Subsection analysis: Compassion: Compassion was brought into this world as a savior, that of a reminder that kindness and trust will always outweigh that of sorrow and selfishness. Compassion was endowed from Abobwyn with the gift of shape-changing, and has taken the form of women, men, creatures, and even soothing rain to spread compassion wherever it is needed. As a result, Compassion’s true form is not known- only that it is present, and it is good.

Subsection analysis: Glory: Glory was brought into the world as a crusader, that of a reminder that no war shall be fought without that of glorious reasoning, as well as glorious deeds. Glory was endowed from Abobwyn with the gift of vitality, and it is said that Glory’s touch may revive an old Evence and make him as though he were young once more, to rise and fight and die as a true Evence. Glory appears wreathed in burning, white flames, and is a strong, muscular Evence. He hefts a mighty war axe in only one hand, and is said to charge into battle accompanied by unearthly trumpet music. Attired all in white, Glory’s form is inspiration at its finest.

Subsection Analysis: Justice. Justice was brought into this world as a judge, that of a reminder that law must be preserved, as well as punishment rendered. Justice was endowed from Abobwyn with the gift of wrath, and his is a fearsome power indeed. Justice appears cloaked in white armor, as a mythical white knight, but within the hooded visor is no face, nor any corporeal form at all, within his spectral armor. He speaks but rarely, but when he speaks it is said to be the most terrifying and resolute of all the sounds in The universe.

Abobwyn, in his wisdom, knew that merely creating the righteous avatars would lead his Evence into complacency, and softness. His final two avatars were terrible beings, created as a trial for his people. They were known as Fear and Sorrow.

Subsection Analysis: Fear: Fear was brought into this world as an abomination, that of a reminder that darkness is ever-present. Fear was endowed from Abobwyn with the gift of horror, and as Joseph Conrad reminds us, it is a terrifying power indeed. Fear appears as a horrible, slithering, bloated beast nine feet long and with five, atrocious heads, each twisted and deformed, not all Evence. He appears to cowards often, and is said to be the most horrible sight in all The universe.

And so the Avatars were released upon The universe. As the years flowed forth like the tides, tales and legends circled of their exploits, until one day it was said that they just…disappeared.

Or did they?

Evence as a culture.

Evence base their lives about the concept of right and wrong. To them, Evence are either black or white, with no room for shades of gray of any sort. Any Evence convicted of a crime is “black” and put into prison, or exiled. Judgment, however, is very well thought out and complicated, ensuring that Justice is done, lest the mighty avatar pay them a visit (so the tale goes). Social graces are not held in particularly high importance- although they do not strive to be rude, they do not make a habit of observing the particular customs of any other race.

Evence are a passionate people. They embrace emotion in its prime, living to the fullest of life.

-Character Appearance:

Physical Description: Adsurgo Coma is the name it took for itself. The Avatar of Sorrow has existed ever since Abobwyn existed, filled with the regrets of an entire race. For the sake of simplicity, we shall call it him, although the Avatars are genderless.

Adsurgo is attired in a floor length, somber, gray robe. It drapes about the floor like an evening gown, although through the years Adsurgo may move about in it without tripping on it, at least during normal conditions. It has a hood draping from the back, although Adsurgo prefers not to wear it at all. The robe would be unremarkable, were it not for what has become the symbol of the Avatar of Sorrow- the eyes.

Five eyes adorn the robe of melancholy. It is said they were once Abobwyn’s eyes, and that every time he cut one it grew back, until the fifth, when it did not. Abobwyn, perplexed, did not wish to risk his other eye, leaving Adsurgo with five. Abobwyn has been one-eyed ever since. The eyes, though larger then human eyes, are real, and blink and move about the robe like animate objects, sliding about in a decidedly unsettling way that, it is said, even Fear envied. The eyes most remarkable quality, however, will be described later, in the section of magic.

Adsurgo’s skin is cadaverous, pale and, well, sorrowful. The skin is stretched tight about his face, and his forehead has the characteristic Evence slant. He is only five foot seven inches tall, and his robe is baggy enough that his severely undernourished frame is hardly visible at all.

Personality: A personification of woe, Adsurgo is misery. He does not brood- he was not created to brood. By the same token, he is the counterbalance to the enthusiastic. If a plan is presented, he will pick it apart and analyze every flaw until it sounds unusable. At the end of every battle, he will query the dead and present to whomever he comes across. Existing only to make others Sorrowful, he is not a charming dinner companion. Although capable of being abrasive and sarcastic, he does so rarely. Being happy is, quite literally, impossible for the Avatar of Sorrow. In battle, his desire for the sorrow of others often leads to an almost sadistic glee of cat and mouse, particularly with weaker creatures.

Character Powers:

Weaponry and all related categories: None.

Techniques: Partial Blood Mastery Adsurgo has a limited amount of control over his own blood- he may force it to clot, for example, to prevent bleeding, although the wound will still hurt as normal.

Class: Avatar of Sorrow

Magical Techniques:

Sorrowful promises: An aura of misery seeps out from Adsurgo’s cloak, taking the from of a pungent mist. All living creatures who inhale this mist are stricken with thoughts of worthlessness and depression, rendering them unable to perform tasks as efficiently. While they are not physically damaging, they are potent mentally.

Resurrection of the Spirit: The first of many “blood techs” that Adsurgo possesses’. This particular one is his most useful.

Subsection analysis: Blood Tech: Blood Tech is the name given to Adsurgo’s skill with the most prominent of his many terrible abilities. The five eyes adorned upon his cloak rush together in a pentagram shape, and the five eyelids among them open. And then the eyes begin to weep. They do not weep tears of water, however, but of blood. And as the blood collects itself in scarlet pools at the Avatar’s feet, they give themselves to his command. Adsurgo may shape the blood into whatever he chooses, magically directing it to take on any form he chooses. There is no set amount of blood that can be created, although it must stop to replenish itself over time.

Resurrection of the Spirit forms the blood into a summoned blood elemental. Its appearance is malleable, and may look like whatever Adsurgo chooses it to be. His favorite is a nine foot tall being with disproportionately long arms and a great, gnashing mouth.

Creation of the Spirit: Essentially, to save space, let it be said that Adsurgo may create most anything within reason from the blood, although it has limitations, of course.

Elemental Strength: Emotions and Blood.

Elemental Weaknesses: Psychic energy and Fire.

Character Story: He has amnesia and I won’t tell you any-*shot*

Adsurgo Coma was created from the swirling void of Abobwyn’s mind and soul. Along with his “brothers” in arms, he was created to serve Abobwyn’s will through his mystic designs. The Avatar of Sorrow struck off from his creator and comrades, and immediately begin to fulfill his charge. His name soon became a household trick, to scare the smaller children. Where he walked, Sorrow spread like a corrupted lake behind him, dampening spirits and playing shocking tricks upon the innocent and guilty.

Adsurgo has existed for countless ages, as a personification. One day, however, Abobwyn had a new desire. He did not like the Avatar of Sorrow, nor his closet Avatar, Fear. And so he removed them from the world, to wreak havoc among a desolate continent, with command of a special army.

The land was Cornett. The army was dubbed the black army.

Fear and Sorrow soon infested Cornett like a cankering sore, driving the inhabitants before them like rats fleeing a fire. The black army seemed unstoppable. Until two figures in particular rose, demonstrating a remarkable courage unseen in Evence or Myrian alike. As the black army was routed, the people too rose and destroyed the army from within.

Yet Sorrow always has its own vindictiveness.

A summoned blood elemental ambushed and killed one of the two heroes of Myria, before Adsurgo was fairly dragged back to the depths of Earth by an angry Abobwyn. Though he and Fear were spares harsh punishment, both were forced into exile among the people of Earth. No longer immortal, they continued to live forever, although the fact that they could now be felled by weapon strokes was a grim reality. As the Avatars plotted, Sorrow and Fear once more began their reign of conquest…

Fighting Style: True.
