dweller's Depths - Torus Reloaded (Rys, Katar)

[Wordmaker]

This thread's worth reading for the artwork choices alone!

[Libra]

Can't argue with that observation. It may not always be precisely to my tastes, but it's well worth the viewing never-the-less!

[dwellerofthedeep]

Glad you approve guys! In case anyone was wondering, I have been working on some more stuff, but since I'm doing the artwork for it personally it may take some time for most of that aspect of the characters to arrive. I speak here of the legendary Babylonian airships that abandoned their crews on the world below the sky centuries ago.

Complications
Corporeal Longing (For the past human life)

History and Background
Prince Geldingstar is the squadron leader of the four Grand Destroyers that abandoned Babylon for freedom in the skies below. In his human life, Geldingstar was a heroic knight, legendary for his valor in Babylon and below it. When he was dying, mortally wounded by the savage Korsheva, he requested his body be interred into the earth at the Mount of Gardens, where the first of the great airships was to emerge decades later. The Prince is still a noble leader in his new form, partially represented by the location of the sarcophagus in which he lies being located at the helm of the ship rather than the tail. He is the heart of the renegade fleet even more so than the Battleship Emperor Sandalphon.

-Like most ships, Duke Gale’s weapons are entirely controlled from the Sarcophagus unless an architect or other qualified pilot interfaces with the ship’s mind. Unlike most ships, Duke Gale’s natural weapons are partially technological as well as magical.

DRAWBACKS
No Hands, Mute (8pp)
Power Loss (Ship Weapons, Telepathy and super senses; If the Sarcophagus is Disturbed) (4pp)

Complications
Corporeal Longing (For the past human life)

History and Background
Duke Gale was a dependable vassal of Prince Geldingstar when the two lived as mortals. The Duke perished of unknown causes ten years after the death of his prince, as the story goes. Duke Gale pioneered the ways of the divine when alive and his ship form remembers enough to describe the basics of religion, though, like many ships, his intellect has declined over the millennia.

-Controlled from a hidden Sarcophagus within the depths of the ship, Lady Rochester’s weapons are less varied than other ship’s but no less powerful, and in some ways more flexible because of her immense telekinetic abilities.

Tail (2pp)
Elongation 4 (Tail Only) (100ft Reach)
-Lady Rochester’s immense metal tail is a powerful tool in ship-to-ship combat.

DRAWBACKS
One Hands, Mute (6pp)
Power Loss (Ship Weapons, Telepathy and super senses; If the Sarcophagus is Disturbed) (4pp)

Complications
Corporeal Longing (For the past human life)

History and Background
Lady Rochester was an excellent inventor and magician when alive. Her sarcophagus is not incased in the living matter of the other ships, instead it rests in a computer terminal at the base of the ship’s core deck where, though protected by a layer of crystalline fibers, the crew will never forget who is in true control of the vessel.

-Blood Royale’s weapons are considerable strange and include a teleportal index controlled by the Sarcophagus. Though Blood Royale’s persona is still a mystery, she must have been a mighty human once to have such power as a ship.

DRAWBACKS
No Hands, Mute (8pp)
Power Loss (Ship Weapons, Telepathy and super senses; If the Sarcophagus is Disturbed) (4pp)

Complications
Corporeal Longing (For the past human life)

History and Background
Little is known of the woman interred within the Sarcophagus of the 3rd renegade Destroyer, but she is said to be of great beauty and royal blood. An expert in affairs of law and battle, and Prince Geldingstar’s equal in combat, she is a deadly and brilliant ship. Scholars have often debated which of the mythical Babylonian figures she originated from, perhaps Athena, wise warrior, or Cassandra of the order of royal charter. The ship itself is perhaps one of the strangest of the fleet. Though most of the fleet is partially alive and partially metallic this ship is unique. Blood Royale introduces a third, unique, element; that of the undead. A massive head, like that of a horse forms the helm of the ship, a place where the captain can observe the sky and ground.

Notes
The Rosado unit is named for the rose colored desert they hail from. The desert lies to the south of the city of Alliance and the Chos valley, and, though it is controlled by a variety of other nations it is considered a great honor to fight for the northern nation, if only you join the Rosado unit of their foreign legion. Trained with the dagger almost exclusively, Rosado soldiers have learned to make do without large weapons and can operate alone or in groups for long stretches of time without support.

Tough-looking bunch. . .

-Trained primarily in war spells; the clan magician is a dangerous opponent on the battlefield. This focus of training is a common problem for spellcasters in the modern age, as many cannot reach their full potential with a specialized skill set.

Sacra Form Suite (3pp)
Morph 1 (Any Shape, Full Round Action)
-Power Feats: Metamorph (Gorsheva Sacra Form)

Notes
Trained by the clan since their teenage years, these magicians are most effective when supported by knights, especially other vampires. The Sacra Form used most commonly among the clan magicians is that of Gorsheva, the beast, a deformed monstrosity of immense physical strength and magical power. The form used by these magicians is not a complete sacra form, in fact, a master of the Gorsheva form is yet to arise anywhere near Chos Valley.

Demonic Shield Power Suite (25pp)
Protection 4 (Impervious)
Immunity 16 (Aging, Half Effects from Fortitude Saves)
Speed 1
-The Calabru is a common breed of shield demon, meant to protect more ferocious and important entities on the battlefield.

Demonic Horn Power Suite (9pp)
Strike +6 (Area: Burst, Full Round Action)
-Alternative power: Stun 6 (Area: Burst, Full Round Action)
-Alternative power: Paralyze 3 (Flaw: Sense Dependant (Sight), Range: Perception, Full Round Action)
-Alternative power: Blast +3 (Flaw: Sense Dependant, Indirect 2, Incurable)
-The Calabru’s horn is a useful weapon. The demon’s favorite method of attack is to strike from the center of a crowd of enemies, ripping apart entire formations. Often deployed in squadron’s by their master’s, the Calabru will often use small unit tactics with suprerior speed and between 4 and 10 others of their kind to disorient and destroy much larger enemy groups.

Notes
Calabru are demonic footmen, not by any means the cream of the demon crop, they are loyal retainers to more powerful lords. Mortals often find it difficult to engage much smaller units of these demons than the more numerous and wild Parlamens, the rival demon race of the shields.
