(This is just a little idea of mine, see if i can get some interest, of you want to join, just put up a little bit of info about your character/s and post straight away)

Chara 1: Drakki
Age: Unknown-stupidly old
Appearence: Silver armour with inert khornate symbology, fearsome helmet, long-handled scimitar, long sheild with a bat-like symbol (the long sheild from the new skellie sprue)
Powers: enormously strong and fast, even for a vampire, is as adept at necromancy as the avarage fish

Chara 2: Cynthia
Age: 17 (has been a vampire 2 years)
Appearence: very young-looking, blonde hair (used to be black, but went blonde when she became a vampire), wears a long hooded black dress with a split lower half that reveals a long, dark green skirt and sleeves that are far too long.
Powers: became very competant at necromancy very quickly, not so good at combat

Drakki stood before the high altar in the desacrated temple that the meeting of vampires was taking place in. The topic of discussion was the incusions of chaos into Sylvania that seemed to be happening with alarming regularity. Cynthia sidled up behind Drakki and tapped him on the shoulder.
"It's time, my lord."
Drakki acknowledged her with a nod and slammed his fist into the alter a few times until there was a spiderweb of cracks playing over the surface of it and he had the attention of the assembly.
"My siblings in Death. As you may or may not know by now, I am Drakki of the Gladius Bloodline, and I am older than most here assembled, but newly awoken from a sleep of hundereds of years. It had been brought to my attention that our lands in Sylvania have been the target for several raids from the scum of Chaos. Their gods seek what is ours!"
He spat out the last few words like something distasteful.
"Their Khorne wants the blood that belongs to us, their Slaanesh wants our playthings, their Nurgle wants to corrupt out beautiful immortality and their Tzeetch claims to be greater at deceit and machination of the human race. I propose we show these weak gods and their servants that these things are ours! What say you all?"

Ah, that's so great! imo we should all make a post with some strengths/weaknesses/info, so I'll start.

@ Simon. Yeah, I knew that... but I meant, the characters need some background. Don't really feel like posting it in the Background thread either

Strengths

- Powerful Mind. Magneqrox has a rather easy time figuring out matters that might befuddle others.

- Strong. Thanks to his combined Draconic and Vampiric heritage, he's even stronger than your usual Vampire Lord, but not by that much.

- Sparks of Brilliance. Magneqrox's mind can be a little random. This aspect is when it thinks stunningly fast and efficiently.

- Intimidating. Being a Vampire looking like a smaller Dragon that walks on two legs, with his head, tail, right hand, feet and spine on magical fire (this cannot hurt other beings) combined with the 12 Tentacles where his left hand would have been, makes him an even more horrible vision than others, but not to the point that they will feel Terror.

- Zeal. When he has his Zeal to achieve something, almost nothing will make him give up. This can be from everything to capturing new slaves for the Countess, to withstanding pain and even to create potions and elixirs. However, this is rare and happens only when he is extremely infuriated or interested.

Weaknesses

- Can't stand certain words. One of the best ways of creating an opening in Magneqrox, is that he has been known to go into a state of: ''AUGHH... you make my head spin!'', grab his head with his hands, bow down and shake his head from side to side for around 16 seconds (you'll find out these words as the story goes on).

- Adrenaline and Excitement. When really engaged in something he likes, Magneqrox is prone to enthusiasm which can be classified as mentally unstable, such as charging into the midst of the enemy commander's best troops without a moment's thought or hesitation, with no thought given to the surroundings.

- Proud of Mind. Magneqrox will be depressed and apathic once outwitted, which can be exploited.

- The Harvest. Once Finelle, his Countess is out of food, Magneqrox will always seek out ''fresh meat'', as he puts it. This can take him to many places, and he can be lured with it. The site of an exotic grove with a so-far unknown kind of food can be a carefully constructed ambush and so on. This weakness also includes his lust to please Finelle's vast self-indulgence.

There you have it! I think I'll go to the other thread now...

Lesa also know as the Siren.

Age: 2800+

Stunning beautiful, possibly the most beautiful creature in existence. Slim toned body, red / black hair, wears revealing clothes.

Combined with her looks has an aura which makes all creatures, undead, daemon etc attracted to her. The most someone can do its fight the attraction but they will never be able to remove it completely. In the RP this shows as low level characters i.e hero's and lower are entranced by her and would do anything she requests. Lord level characters would still be attracted but it would be able to resist its affects so would be more of distraction etc. This applies to all whether a 4000 year old vampire, a mindless zombies or a bloodthirster!

Extreme powerful magic user with skills and power level equal to Mannfred von Carstein. Knows every spell from the eight lore's bar life as well as all the vampire lore (she has spent over 2500 years studying)

Very decadent and perverted, will have her way with man, women or beast, can mean sometimes she is distracted if there is someone or something she wants to have.

Not as skilled in combat as other lords, she still has the blinding speed of Lahmians as well as her attendant daemon who watches over her and enhances her already powerful magical abilities. RP wise she will not be as good in combat as the other lords although still powerful compared to mortals etc.

Milosh Cromwell The Wraithlord

Standing at just under 6ft, long hair jet black hair, small beard on his chin. Slim but powerful build.

Depending on the point in the story may be ethereal due to an accident that happened long ago, this also gives him exceptional strong control over spirits, wraiths. RP wise this means can summon hundreds of wraiths and can wrestle control of them off other vampires

Is a powerful magic user in the art of necromancy although no where near as powerful as Lesa (around a normal lvl 4)

In combat is very skilled with his blade and always fights with his unit of wraith bodyguard making it hard to pick him out when he is ethereal.

Was recently gifted the Mortexsillium blade from Simon RP wise this has a Master Rune of Banishment (D3 wounds to all undead, daemons or forest spirits), Rune of Might (double S against T5 or more) and Rune of Cleaving (+1S) so gives you a good idea how powerful it is fluffwise.

Milosh and Lesa love each other infinitely and will protect each other to death. RP wise this means any serious insults or attacks will result in both characters attacking or looking after each other.

well, time for a little more on Drakki and Cyn

Drakki
Drakki is so old that even he cannot say. His strain of vamparism was created by a twisted Nechrach by somehow fusing the traits of Blood Dragon and Strigoi and implanting it into tho body of a Khornate Aspiring Champion. The result was a vampire which was strong, feroucious in battle to the point of insanity, capable of great anger, yet out of battle a great negotiator and orator.
Having drunk the blood of two dragons, one before sleeping and one after, he has no need of blood, but occasionally partakes, having an odd taste for vampire blood.
While asleep, his body bonded the dragon blood to the Blood Dragon/Strigoi cocktail. The result has made him stronger, faster and more ferocious than the avarage vampire, while altering his face, making him lose all his hair and giving him horns, horns he files every time they get longer than a centimetre. He hides his face with a ferocious fanged helm. His bloodcocktail also inhibits his necromatic powers. Sees Cynthia as a daughter.

Cyn
Cynthia is still childlike in her ways, and loves anything furry, from Drakki's army's large numbers of dire wolves to...well...a skaven. Born to necromancer parents and abandoned at birth, she grew up on the streets until Drakki turned her. She has only been two years a vampire, but the strange blood cocktail she has inherited, which inhibits Drakki's necromatic powers, has enhanced her own natural ability. Therefore most of the undead in Drakki's armies are raised by her, although she bows to Drakki's leadership and strength. She sees Drakki as a father.

Rask:

He is a very skilled fighter, and totally dishonourable. He will use any advantage he can get in a fight, and if possible will simply kill off his opponent in some way before he has to fight him face to face.

Moderately good necromancer (around level 3). Often uses warpstone to boost his spell casting ability. He has been known to throw warp lightning at his foes, as well as necromancy, but he appears to have no other knowledge of skaven magic.

Tall for a skaven (still quite a bit shorter than a human). He has patchy, dull brown nondescript fur, falling out in places, and pale white skin underneath. His eyes are green, completely green without any pupils or iris.

Wields an enchanted sword that drains the life from his enemies and uses their energy to heal him. He occasionally carries a large staff, topped with the skull of another vampire (a human one) that he managed to save from destruction when he killed the vampire. What powers this staff has are unknown, but it acts as a focus for his necromancy, enabling him to cast spells that would otherwise be beyond his reach. However, normally he has neither with him, like he does at the moment. He is technically a von Carstein, but the necromantic energies of vampirism seem to have reacted oddly with the warpstone he has eaten, and he cannot truly be called part of any bloodline.

Never wears armour outside of battle, and he disdains those who carry weapons away from the field. Mostly because it makes them harder to assassinate, but partly because he doesn’t either.

Vekarin Banespike the Dark Bladed, Lord of the Scarred Rose
Age: 4057
Sire: Abhorash
Hight: Near 7 foot, taller with his armor.
Appearance: Vekarin rarely removes his armor, which is enormous and plated and bedecked in glowing runes of protection. He wears a mask in the visage of a grimacing skull, and carries a sword of exceptional power. The Dark Blade is said to kill with a touch, dragging the life force from it's victims like screaming children (think Frostblade or Black Axe). It attracts Dark Magic and when it is drawn, the lights dim and the dead stir. He wears a cloak of purple that is fur trimmed. His eyes glow with balefire and his voice is deep and reverberating.
Personality: Vekarin is a Blood Dragon who believes in his own personal honor and discipline, as all of his line. Angering him would be most unwise, as he leads some of the most elite troops of all the undead lords. While no master of magic or the dark arts, Vekarin's rage knows no bounds and his physical skill is unmatched. He believes strongly in honor and if he believes his violated, he will retaliate with force. He has an iron will and a long memory, and will not forget grudges quickly, if at all.

Post: #11

Name: Simon von Carstein.
Title: Scourge of Morr/The Poetic Fiend.
Origin: Eastern Sylvania.
Age: 616.
Sire: Isabella.
Current Location: Nexeternus in the Border Princes.
Associates: Nar-Zuul: the Wraith who who began his training in Necromancy.

Mircea von Carstein: Simon's older brother in death friendly rivals friendship strained due to Mircea serving Mannfred and Simon trying to usurp him.

Sariah von Carstein: Simon's Get/Lover. (see the background of your countess)

Aurelius von Carstein: Simon's protege a vampiric warrior wizard who serves as second in command in Simon's faction not much is known about him.

Lucius, Marius and Maximilian von Carstein: Simon's Grandgets they each govern part of Simon's territory and march to war with glee.

Appearance: roughly six foot tall with with short blond hair Simon was sired at the age of twenty six and continues to look this age except for his eyes which reflect the six centuries he has lived. Simon's appearance has tended to change over the centuries. In his younger days during his exile he dressed to resemble a member of the working class after he sired Sariah he started to revert back to clothes that reflected the minor nobleman he was. In battle he wore standard armour until shortly after the death of Konrad when he discovered a Hauberk that may have belonged to Walach Harkon not far from Grim Moor he tends to wear this now as it is superior to his old armour. He carries a magical blade called Animessor once wielded by a vampire hunter it works just as well on mortals too. In complete contradiction to his brother Simon is always smiling as he enjoys the life that he leads and sees it as a fascinating game.

Mentality: Simon is trying to forge his own version of Vlad's dream desiring to create his own empire of living and Dead where all vampires save those descended from him have been exterminated. He has already begun by capturing his own princedom in the Border Princes which he has ruled for over two hundred years however with his victories over chaos and Khemrians his forces have grown immeasurably and its only a matter of time before he tries to forcibly unite the the Border Princedoms into one nation under his rule.

As a ruler he is generally popular with his subjects for keeping crime and taxes low and being sparing with their lives he encourages them to worship him as a demi god and father figure who watches over them he generally feeds off criminals and slaves captured from neighbouring lands and has forbidden his family from hunting their own people under pain of death he enjoys playing the part of benevolent noble though he shows no mercy to any invaders of his lands some he kills but others like goblins and skaven he condemns to work in the haunted mines of Nexeternus they rarely last long as they're either frightened to death or just vanish and Simon has considered using dwarf slaves in the hope they might last longer.

Simon's long term goals is to be better to eclipse all other vampires especially Mannfred and become the most powerful one of all so he has taken to feeding off his own kind to increase his powers believing that by doing this he will become a god on the mortal coil. Despite his love of battle and combat Simon is not an outstanding military man as at heart he is a scholar and a collector of rare artifacts and clocks he has secretly financed several expeditions to Lustria to recover ancient Slann Lore. The pride of his collection is a painting of a future world of the dead painted by Melchior himself.

Background: A minor nobleman and famous sylvanian poet Simon was sired by Isabella so that he could compose poems for her forever. Simon was exiled by Vlad for antagonising everyone as becoming a vampire had radically altered his personality. He was reconciled with his grandsire forty years later and grew to greatly respect him Vlad was the only vampire Simon ever acknowledged as his Lord as he refused to serve Herman Posner, Konrad and Mannfred instead striking out on his own to forge his own destiny.

He is known as the scourge of Morr by mortals due to the terrible crimes he committed during the first war of the Vampire Counts and because ever since he defeated Deiter von Kronos he has made a point of hunting down and challenging any Vampire hunters connected to the Order of Morr mostly because he grew tired of fights he knew he was going to win. His second title The Poetic Fiend was given to him by other vampires due to his poetry and his habit of killing his own kind and it is title they use to refer to him.

Dark Acolyte

Post: #13

Name: Mircea von Carstein
Title: Marshal of Slyvania ‘’Voivodeââ‚Â​¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢
Origin: Waldenhof, Slyvania
Age: over seven hundred years old.
Sire: Isabella
Current Location: Castle Mitternacht, Ravenhof, Slyvania
Associates: Luke von Carstein: one of his get, an aristocratic vampire who is skilled at generalship and necromancy, indulges in women and other things that his sire disapproves of, argues all the time with his brother Jan.

Jan von Carstein: a rogue coarse butcher of men who swears like a sailor and makes no secret of his low origins, much to the embarrassment of his older brother Luke who wants desperately to be a noble. Is despised in the courts of Sylvania as an ass who disrespects everyone, especially nobility.

Sophia von Carstein: His only female get, he loved her like a daughter, she was recently killed by a vampire hunter and is interred in a Black Coach regenerating, not much is know about her otherwise.


Appearance: A tall man with long black hair and red eyes, his face usually transforms into a demonic mask if stressed in battle. He has fine, aristocratic cheekbones and hawkish features. His skin is as pale as marble. He rarely smiles. His features are far too severe to be considered handsome with cruel humorless lips and a beaky nose.

He wears an ornate suit of ridged armor sculpted to resemble bat wings. He wears a massive wolf-skin cloak around his shoulders and he carries an ornate enchanted sword that screams in the air.

When away from war he wears a black cloak and elegant clothes of a traveling noble of an important family.


Mentality: Mircea is concerned with temporal power; he is very conquest minded and has little time for the feasts and plotting of other vampires. He was and still is a military man. He can infiltrate the human aristocratic class of lords and ladies if necessary, although he does with much distaste. He is offers his enemies the choice that Vlad did, serve him in life or serve him in death. He always keeps his word like Vlad. He can be very cruel, impaling prisoners on stakes after battles and resurrecting them as zombies.

As a ruler he is distant and apathetic, finding little time for base ruling, so he usually appoints a magistrate or town headman that he trusts to rule and sent him the Blood Tax. He cares for his people as a farmer would a flock of chickens. He however is a firm believer is harsh punishment to those who deserve and any criminal who breaks the law can be expected to become his next meal. Thus there is actually a low amount of crime in Ravenhof, out of fear and low taxes.

He has a brooding personality and prefers to be by himself at his Castle at Mitternacht, brooding and keeping to himself. He is an elegant monster who bewitches women, makes men nervous and warriors uneasy. He however does not pursue women beyond as a meal, seeing little point in loving someone as they will pass away like mayflies due to his immortality, and he doubts that any of the undead would love him. By contrast he enjoys battle, seeing a different situation each time he fights and is a brilliant military strategist who enjoys fighting intelligent tacticians to test his mind against in a game of military strategy.

Because he is one of the first of the vampire aristocracy of Sylvania he has a massive superiority complex and he destests other younger vampire nobles as ‘’trash vampires’’, he sees Vlad as the archetypical vampire and aspires to be like him. Make no mistake, he does not despise his undead condition but instead revels in being a creature of darkness. His calling however is being an immortal general rather than a decadent fop.


Background: He was a minor nobleman in the Sylvania army called Meyerling Faulsing that was invited to meet the new count and his wife right after Isabella had been mysteriously cured of her illness. When he met them he spotted an assassin emerging from the crowed. He leapt in front of Vlad and took the blade for himself, not knowing that as a vampire Vlad was immune to poison, but the new count was impressed by the audacity of the nobleman and had Isabella sire him.

He served Vlad loyally as a military commander, not desiring any more than that, after Vlad’s death he retrieved the vampire count’s sword and fled to distant lands. When he returned he sported an accent similar to Vlad’s and a new name. Mircea. He slaughtered the human noble that had taken his lands after the defeat of the vampire counts and reinstated himself as a ruler, swearing allegiance to Mannfred, acting as the new vampire count’s military commander as he did with Vlad.


Stengths and Powers:

Shapeshifting: Mircea can change his form to that of a bat, wolf, rat and mist. He can also change into variations of each form, like a swarm of bats and rats and effect a partial transformation between the states, allowing him to assume a ''were'' form. (werebat, werewolf, wererat) he can pass of as a skaven fairly well in the latter.

Sorcery: Mircea is an acomplished wizard, skilled in necormancy and spells, but he is no master of it like the necarchs.

Fighting: Mircea is a highly skilled swordsman, with his skill rivialing that of some Blood Dragons. He is not afriad of using dirty tricks to fight if nessecary.

Call Winds: Mircea can,with some effort, control the weather and call storm clouds and thunder bolts.

Mesmer: Mircea is fairly skilled in mesmerizing mortals to his will.

Regeneration: Mircea had exceptional regenerative abilites that had come from drinking troll's blood. this is aided by the fact that he wields Vlad's sword. It is not instantanous however and Mircea can still die.

Vlad's sword: He carris Vlad's screaming blade, which he recovered from the priests in altdorf.

Daylight resistance: Mircea can walk in daylight, altough it weakens him and he cannot shapeshift or use any of his advanced vampriric powers.

Weaknesses: Mircea is vulnereble to holy objects, silver, and he cannot cross running water on his own power. He can fly over it though in bat form. He is repelled by sawdust and garlic, although he can force himself past it if he needs to be. He needs an inviation to enter houses. He is also weakened by sunlight. Holy icons only work against him if the wielder actually has strong faith in the object.



But perhaps Mircea's greatest ability is his intelligence, he is very cunning and smart, with a knack for self-preservation. He is a highly skilled military tactician. Ouside for battle, it's not that he is a genius but that he has above average intelligence which he couples with a large amount of common sense.

Ok, i redid Rasks' information with one or two changes (mainly weapon and magic)

Name: Rask

Title: Lord of the Dead Rats Walking

Origin: Underempire

Sire: Unkown von Carstein, one of Vlad’s generals/gets

Current Location: Somewhere in the Underempire

Appearance: Tall for a skaven (still quite a bit shorter than a human). He has patchy, dull brown nondescript fur, falling out in places, and pale white skin underneath. His eyes are green, completely green without any pupils or iris.

Mentality: Mostly your usual power crazed Skaven intent on world domination

Background: can be found here

Vampire Lord
Level 4 wizard, uses Skaven magic and Invocation
A large number of warpstone tokens
Dark Acolyte (to give him level 4)
Forbidden Lore (Magic of the Horned Rat)
Infinite Hatred
Wields the Death of Rats-Magic Sword, effects are a combination of the Fell Blade and Blood Drinker. Far more volatile than the Fell Blade however, as he takes a wound on a 1-4 rather than 1-2 (in other words, when he is using it he will often take damage)

TBD
Necrarch Caster from the fall of Lahmia.
Update to occur Friday, 2 May 2008.
~Social_Infidel

Post: #16

Name:
Amadeus Valda

Age:
Ancient

Sire:
Unknown (Likely to be Genevieve or one of those few men 'gifted' by the Queen of Lahmia)

Origin:
Schwarzberg, near Zhufbar

Associates:
None

Appearance:
Long silver hair, pale complexion, muscular, Dark Elf Armour.

Background:
The appearance of Valda gives a lot away about him - his armour was forged by Dark Elves in Ghrond with the sole purpose of preventing the blade of the executioner from falling onto his neck and beheading him. Initially stowed away as a slave, he broke out after a rogue slavemaster mistook him for a Bretonnian peasant. The true purpose of the visit was never revealed though Valda did spend an unusual amount of time in a temple of Khaine. His time in Ghrond is believed to have been around the same time that Neferata was Queen of Lahmia. This places Valda as being well aged indeed.

When Lahmia fell, Valda fled with Queen Neferata.

Upon returning to the old World, Valda's tale goes stale but it is believed he fabricated a story in a castle on the Worlds Edge Mountains to gain sovereignty without question. He recently set off on a quest into Nagashizzar with a plethora of warpstone following a large scale battle between his forces, the Moot and those of Vardek Crom. The army made from these skirmishes waits in hiding in the tunnels beneath Schwarzberg waiting for their master to return.

Who sired Valda is a mystery though some believe that he is an anomaly - something designed as a weapon of vengenance by the Dark Elves against Nagash. Some believe he is one of a fabled legendary line of Vampires descended from the Great Necromancer himself. The truth remains mysterious.

Mentality:
Cold, even by Vampire standards. Valda has no gets though he does possess an unairing ability to read people.

Post: #17

Lord V'azrin of Lahmia
Age: At least 4000
Sire: W'soran
Hight: Around 5"10
Appearance: V'azrin is your classical Necrarch, not tall nor short he has the appearance of a corpse. He wears long black robes with sleeves that fall far past his hands. Sometimes he carries a staff, and from his waist hangs multiple items of arcane nature. He is said to carry even more magical enhancment potions and items within his robes.

Personality: Knowledge is supreme as is all Necrarch believes, and mortal life is below the nights of the dead. He is also supremely arrogant never having met a vampire who can better him in the magical arts other than W'soran. He dislikes combat and has no problems with fleeing should the need arise. Dispises Mannfred from stealing from him when the Necrarch was teaching the Von Carstein.

Strengths:
Incredibly powerful magically
Very skilled in the arcane arts
A supreme master of Necromancy
Has mastered all the lores apart from life ((despite attempts to do so))
Ancient which has only led to a rise in physical and magical power.
Has many ways to increase his already considerable magical strength

Weaknesses:
Without the use of his 'thinking' blades he is useless against other immortals in close combat
Is less durable than other vampires of roughly the same age and power
Probably insane
Has lost his most powerful magical tomes.
Doesn't have the bravery to match the rest of the council

Post: #18

Name: Glyre Feldenhaus

Age: 700's

Sire: Vlad VonCarstein

Origin: Dorgya, a small village in southern Sylvania, ravaged during the Wars of the Vampire Counts

Associates: Emilya Feldenhaus, Glyre's lover in life, they were engaged to be married, but severe injury brought that to an end. Upon becoming Vampires, they married, in a dark perversion of the Sigmarite ritual, With Necromancers functioning as Priests.

Appearance: Glyre is 6'5, and has pale skin and long black hair. His eyes are two red orbs, and he is relatively muscular. He has predominant canine teeth, and is known to wear courtly clothes when out of battle, and laquered cobalt-colored armor in battle, decorated with red gems. He usually wears a purple cape as well.

Background: Glyre Feldenhaus was always rather scholarly in life, and had a tendency to pursue knowledge others shrank away from. He lived the life of a noble, and was skilled at swordplay as well as sorcery. When his Fiancee, Emilya VonFlourek was injured during a fight during the war of the Vampire Counts, he was devastated, all the Empire's doctors said Emilya would not survive another night from the extreme blood lose of the injury. Driven into grief by this fact, Glyre made a pact with Vlad VonCarstein, agreeing to serve the Count until the Count's final death. When Vlad did finally die, Glyre was free, and he and Emilya were finally free to pursue their own goals and destiny. To this day they fight and plot for power, knowledge, wealth, and eventually, victory over the Empire, and life. Glyre, however, has witnessed three times the folly of immediately trying to destroy the Empire, and instead is willing to wait, and strike at a time when no one, other Vampires included, would know what was going on.

Mentality: Glyre is scholarly, and has a tendency to manipulate others for his own purposes. Glyre is also known to lead armies through cunning and manipulation, while letting other, more martialle vampires lead the army from the front. Glyre is arrogant, yes, but not to a level where it clouds his judgement.

Strengths: Glyre is a natural leader and a skilled wizard. He excels at spells from the lore of the Vampires. Glyre is also very intelligent, and knows when the right time to strike is. On top of this, Glyre gives off a certain aura of Undeath, and has a gaze that can strike fear into the hearts of foes, or love and devotion into the minds of allies.

Weaknesses: Glyre is known to be a bit obsessive over things he loves, and is often seen as over-protective of Emilya. Glyre also has a certain willingness to cut down potential allies, and create an enemy instead. Glyre's most dangerous weakness is his temper. When angered, he often acts irrational, not to a level where he is mentally unstable, but to a level where it could put his own life at risk.

ok, this is Sliss, one of Rasks' thralls:
Name: Sliss

Age: 234

Sire: Rask

Origin: Skavenblight

Appearance: A pale furred, white skinned skaven. He wears a long black cloak, and carries a pair of blades in the same manner as an assassin. Sliss is generally nondescript, which helps greatly in his missions. His unusual fur and skin colour is often darkened by soot to allow him to pass for a normal skaven with greater ease.

Background: Sliss was an assassin sent to eliminate Rask when the Council of Thirteen first became aware of the threat he posed to them. Sliss, along with several other assassins, proved to be little threat to the vampire, but Sliss impressed Rask with his determination to carry out his mission. Rask gave him the blood kiss, so that Sliss could turn that determination upon Rasks’ enemies.

Mentality: A fanatical killer, utterly devoted to Rask and whatever task his master sets him. He revels in killing, enjoying it more than anything else.

Strengths: Both a cunning assassin and crazed berserker, Sliss has the patience and intelligence to remain hidden until the right time to strike, and the raw power and rage to kill those he has been ordered to kill.

Weaknesses: Very little grasp of magic, though with the aid of warpstone can cast spells with a lot of power, if little subtlety.
