Here is everything About Tobias my little Lich child.
Name Tobias
Gender Male
Abilities 1. To raise the dead be they human or animal, magic or otherwise.( make note this is raise them not bring them back to life) This takes a hell of a lot of energy and is not going to be all that common. The ability to raise magical beings from the dead would damn near kill him unless he was sorcerer.
This power wont really kick in until teen stage, as a child Tobias would have a hard time raising anything bigger and more complex than a baby chicken.
Cost: Aside from causing strain doing this takes up part of his max amount of enegry he can expend within one day. Also doing so will between teen and adult force his transformation to progress as his ties with the dead grow. Also the longer something has been dead the harder it is to raise.
2. The ability to speak to the dead. Some what usefull but there is limits to what the dead know and they aren't always helpfull.
Cost: Energy much like the above, also Tobias cannot commune with spirits aka ghosts , if he wishes to speak to one who is dead he must raise them himself.
3 The ability to control the dead. This ability will start small and it will take great time and practise before he can control even a handfull of people at the same time.
Cost: Again magical energy but also mental energy as it will be a strain on his mind to direct others while trying to do other things. Tobias can return those he's risen back to their graves in order to regain what energy they have left in them.
Scenario : Tobias wants sentries to guard someplace. He uses most of one day's energy to raise those he wants ( probably those who were fighters of some sort in the past) about five or so people. This drains him for most of the day and what energy he has left is spent controlling the group. The next day he imbues them with enough energy to walk around doing rounds and to run or fight if needed.( about another day's worth of energy for him) From this point on the sentries keep moving untill they run out of the energy stored in them when at which point they become immobile untill they receive more energy.
4. Paralaysing/painfull touch: This ability appears when Tobias is a full Lich. One touch from his bony fingers hurts or paralyses whomever is being touched .
Cost: to be determined.
5 Rengenration: As an adult and full Lich Tobias can fully regenerate his skeleton when it is destroyed as long as his wand remains unharmed.
Cost: Nothing but the more extensive the damage the longer time it takes to repair.
Race/Species/Element Human/Necromancer/Lich
Information on their previous life *still under construction
As a child he was an odd child what one back then would call morbid ( though now most would simply dismiss it as a child trying to understand death). As he grew Aric was often sneered at or told to hush when he asked question pertaining to death and what happened to our bodies when we died.
*Was sent away to live in a momastary. This turned out to be worse him not better as a group of young apprentice monks had the same curiosities he did.
* Finds books locked away while cleaning as punishment one day. books contain information on the forbidden art of necromancy. Group begins studying of the books untill they are found out.
* Aric and several trainee monks leave. Using information from the books they locate an underground clan of black magic users that study necromancy
*Gets a woman pregnant ( many generations later a direct decendant of this child becomes his guardian)
* Many, many years pass and Aric grows up, studies more and becomes necromancer. Unwilling to die becuase there is so much yet to learn ( and due to the inner fear and lack of understanding about what death truly is) he spends his last years furthering his studies so that he may become a Lich
* Lich status acheived
* Years pass and Aric becomes a skeleton, he continues to practice necormancy teaching students as they make thier way underground to him. slowly over time he learns the truths of death and it's secrets.
* Raises the nightmare Lexington.
*Dies when one of his studants goes mad, turns on him and breaks his focus.
Personality from baby to adult Baby: Tobias is an utterly boring baby. His greatest concern is sleeping followed by eating and then sleeping again. People are pretty much all the same to him and he'll sleep on or demand food from anyone in the vicinity.
*Subect to change and be molded greatly due to rp from here on out.
Toddler: Hey look Mr. personality has appeared. Tobias has more complex thoughts at this age and opinions on everyone. He will gladly itterupt whatever you are saying to share said opinion with you as well. Oh you have food well he's just a child and you won't mind sharing right? I hope not becuase anything that isn't nailed down food or otherwise at this age is going with Tobias.
People wise Tobias still considering everyone pretty mich equal meaning he plays no favorites and shows no extra interest in anyone. Tobias gravitates people who look interesting and will probably base all his friend making attempts on visuals only. Should he upset or anger another Tobias is likely to scuttle over into a corner and look pitifully over his shoulder until he's forgiven.
Kid: Tobias has Lex and that's all that really matters to him now. Friends made prior to this are still friends and worth staying in contact with but Tobias isn't likely to see out anyone knew as he focuses on rebonding with Lex. ( Even if he finds the creature a bit odd and creepy) Tobias has gone from wandering off with things now to always trying to trade his possesions for new ones and then promptly trading them again for new things ( This is the start of Tobias' hobby of collecting things. He dosen't hoard things he just likes to have little collection of diffrent things when the collections get boring he'll trade them for new ones i.e Stamps for pogs then pogs for marbles etc.)
This stage is when Tobias begins to recreate his magical resovoir as his previous one was destroyed when he died. through reading and meditation he will slowly gather the skills to harness the power to control the dead. This willbe a slow process and his magicla strength is rather minute. For Tobias this resoviour makign is keyed to his memories of using magic with Lex as well as curiosity.
Teen: Tobias goes through insane moodswings at this age switching from being very clingy with friends and family ( his link to life) to shunning them ( as he tries to embrace the inevitable and learn to deal with it) within a matter of hours. This is a time of soul searching for him and when he has to make his hardest choices. Likely his guardian and Lex will be the ones he relies on most right now.
Youth: Tobias is self assured now , more confident and more intense in both his studies and companionship persuits. He still feels self consious about his looks but he's refusing to break the bonds he's made in the past.
Adult: Tobias has no set adult personality as due to his transformation being complete now and dealing with new changes and challenges his personality will flucuate wildly for a good deal of adulthood before settling down.
Hair and eye colors blue eyes that will change to red at adult stage. Tobias' hair is a coppery orange colour
Physical description From Wand-Adult Wand: Tobia's wand is made of bleach white bone ( of unknown origin) resembling a human arm so much that it even ends with what looks to be a hand curled into a fist.
Babyghost: As baby ghost Tobias is a dark red baby shaped mass of mist.
Baby: Tobias looks like he swallowed an entire butterball turkey at this age. He's all baby fat and healthy tan skin. His copper hair is currently curly and clings tight to his head. Clothing wise his guardian would put him in something like this
http://www.googoogear.com.au/baby_clothes/william.jpg minus the hat.
Toddler: While he's a bit slimmer Tobias still has some of his baby fat . His curls have loosened a little and his hair is slightly longer.Clothing wise his guardian will have him in something like this.
http://media.musictoday.com/store/bands/322/product_medium/GMCM04.jpgKid: Finally Tobias has lost all his baby fat and looks like your average young boy who's a bit short for his age. His skin however appaers to have paled mysteriously after emerging from his growth quest. His hair has gone short except for a small bit that is the begging of a side rattail . Like this
http://www.clicket.com/images/1704.jpg. Tobias is at this age allowed to pick his own clothing and Being rather uniterested in what he wears settles for several sets of track suits. ( Which is amusing since excerise is not high on his list of things to do)
Teenager: Growth spurt time, Tobias shot up quiet a bit after his latest quest. He's now around 5'8 and pretty thin. Being more a of studier than an exceriser Tobias has very little muscle on him and he's unlikely to win so much as a game of arm wrestling. His skin has paled again and seems slightly withered. His normally dark blue eyes now have red flecks in them. His hair is still short except for the side braided rat tail that reaches his waist.
In order to hide his deteriortiting conditon* ( as he now knows he will eventually look like a skeleton) Tobias has taken to wearing hooded robes most of the time. The rest of the time he returns to his childhood habit of wearing track suits as they are long sleved and legged.
* Every week at this point Tobias's body gets worse and worse moving from human looks to that of a Lich.
Youth: At this point Tobias is barely hanging on to life. His skin is yellowed and clings tight to his bones while his eyes have sunk into his head and are now a dull lifeless red. His rattail is gone and now Tobias is left with a thin layer of hair remeniscent of baby fuzz covering his head.
To cover his nearly skeletal body Tobias has adopted the old clothign he wore in his past life at this age . ( reference material to come).
Adult: Tobias is merely a skeleton now with eyes made of red fire. Tobias has adopted the old clothing he wore in his past life at this point in his unlife . ( reference material to come).
Distinctive Marks none
General likes and dislikes Likes: Lex, drawing, T.V, Rock and roll, street magic, collecting things.
Dislikes:: Bread, scented candles, having to dress up, shedules.
Hobbies Riding Lexington, discovering new types of magic, Drawing.
Extra information: The title to this quest has a double meaning. First Tobias will die again to become a Lich and secondly well he may not actually make it that far. For Tobias the shock of his past and his future may be too much to handle. There is hope however that with the aid of friends he can hold tight to life but only time will tell if he will make it past teen stage.
