Basic Information
Username: Obsidian Shimmer Character Name: Cody Von Völsung Age: 23 Race: Ascended Human Gender: Male
Personality: Cool, confident, and calm, these are all traits that define Cody Von Volsung. Not one to avoid conflict, but rather enjoying the challenges of a fight, the self proclaimed God Slayer has a tendency to be ruthlessly efficient in combat, enjoying victory more than the actual fight. Incapable of truly loving other people, and finding it nearly impossible to connect with others, he is anything but a loner. Understanding that numbers have their values he is almost always seen with at least one companion.
Never one to let his emotions get the best of him, never one to panic, his extreme form of calm is sometimes mistaken for apathy. But the legendary Völsung understands better than anyone that slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
Biography/History: Legend has it that Cody is related to none other than Sigmund Völsung and that the blood of the Gods runs through his veins. While this isn't confirmed what is known that he currently has a brother named Ray and a cousin named Van. At some point in time the Völsung brothers were adopted and trained by a three winged entity. The massively powerful psion had forsaken his own destructive capability for omniscience.
With the training and power came the titan's hatred for Gods, godlike beings, and almost anything relating to the divine. The duo spent many years hunting and killing any entity that their mentor brought to their attention.
After some years of service the pair fell out of grace with the titan and he replaced them with a super soldier, Deviant Seth Creed. Seeing that they no longer had the backing of the titan he founded a clan, GodSlayers, and continued their course of destruction for many years. A fight between Ray and Cody brought about the end of the clan as well as Ray. For reasons unknown Cody abandoned the cause and went about wandering.
Likes: Silence, Winning, Mountains, Women, Company, and lobster bisque. Dislikes: Goddesses, Gods, Angels, Demons, Devils, fallen angels, Demi-Gods, Nephilim, Nekos, Fairies, Kitsune, Vampires, and loud obnoxious people/groups.
Appearance
Picture: Battle Description: Tall and lean Cody is often seen wearing a black leather chestplate with shoulder guards. A silken cloak of obsidian wraps around him concealing his body from the neck to an inch above the soles of his boots. Leather pants and silk shirt cover the rest of his body. Vambraces constructed of leather with steel plating cover both forearms. Shin guards are hidden from view under the leather pants. Cody is occasionally seen wearing a medallion and at least one sword if not two.
Casual Description: When in a social situation that has a low probability of combat, Cody is seen wearing a fine Italian leather jacket, jeans, a light blue t-shirt, sunglasses, and leather boots. Saint Anthony is still worn for protection.
Apparent Age: early 20's Height: 6'1" Weight: 195lbs 8% Body fat Eye Color: Smalt Hair Color Golden Brown Hair Style: Eye length Build: Slender/Lean Distinguishing Marks: Cody's forearms, legs, and torso are coated in numerous tattoos making up a complex network of spell circles and rune structures that individually and unanimously augment his natural abilities.
Skills and Abilities
Ability1: Electrokinesis
The ability to manipulate electricity with ones mind. Psionics are the root power for this, though this is much more specialized. This specialization limits his ability to interact with objects but gives him far more control and dominance over the energy/particles he can interact with. Electrokinesis can be used to produce electromagnets, produce lightning bolts, plasma bolts, ionize objects, repel or attract objects, and many other far more creative abilities
Ability2: Earth Bending
Earth bending is an ability founded in mana manipulation. Comparable to Naruto earth jutsu, earth bending uses the spiritual element to manipulate the physical world. Spiritual energy, mana, chakra, ki, chi, and life force for the purpose of this description are essentially the same energy. Earth bending allows for one to manipulate the density, velocity, and thermodynamics of anything that falls within the Earth category. This can be granite, marble, carbon -diamond- iron, or whatever else have you.
Weapons and Trinkets
Weapon1: Mercutio
Cody's primary weapon. Mercutio is a hollow tungsten sword with a blade width of three and a half feet. The sword contains a huge amount of spiritual energy which violently erupts when the weapon is damaged. At 6 feet long the massive sword is exceptionally heavy and a pain to wield. The real power of the weapon is in the 9 inch hilt. Numerous dials line the hilt with rune markings. As the dials are rotated new rune structures form causing the power and ability of the blade to change. Using the powers of electrokinesis the blade is frequently seen resting across his back, held in place by intangible forces.
Weapon1: Værdiløs
Cody's secondary and possibly most powerful weapon. Worn at his side the blade is 3 inches wide, and 3.5 feet long. The hilt is a good 7 inches and has a standard cross guard. When drawn from its sheath the blade creates an area of extreme negative energy. The negative energy negates the positive energy that constructs reality and causes an instance of nothingness to form. The power of the weapon is extremely taxing and thus Cody rarely uses the sword.
Trinket1: Saint Anthony
A medallion worn around his neck, Saint Anthony generates a 30 foot area of awareness. It also forces Cody into a super positioned hyper dimensional closed carnal soul state. ((Essentially this means that all representations of Cody exist at a single point in time and space at all times.))
Trinket2: Mask
The mask is made from the bones of a dragon. The glowing yellow eyes of mask is made from dragon scales. The mask itself offers numerous benefits such as anonymity, protection, enhanced sight, and psychological warfare. While it is unknown for a fact, there is rumors that dragon bones like their skin and scales, offer some magical protection.
Armor/Clothing:
All of Cody's armor and clothing have runes of strength and speed burned/woven/stitched/drawn into/on them. While the exact extent that his powers are augmented by is unknown. He is capable of wielding Mercutio effortlessly.
Leather components of the armor are actually made from dragon's hide. Silk components are only 25% silk, the other 75% is mithril.
Mercutio
A powerful blade constructed of tungsten, Mercutio offers a huge tactical advantage in combat. The numerous rune dials that compose it's handle give it a wide variety of potential that allow it to adapt to nearly any situation. Listed here are some of the known and frequently used rune combinations.
Default: Unbreakable.
Cody tends to keep the rune dial set on unbreakable. In this state Mercutio is the ultimate defense. Rather than the sword becoming magically reinforced it produces a protective the field. The field affectionately known as a RKB or RKF exists along the broad sides of the sword. Working to damper, mitigate, and slow down incoming attacks, it gradually extends and retracts mitigating force. Powered by the blades own vast stores of spiritual energy as well as Cody's own limited psionic powers, it eventually stops, redirects, and multiples the velocity and density of the initial attack.
Gale: Minor adjustments on the dials allow for Morcutio to generate a powerful gust of wind that is capable of picking up small objects and stopping large objects in their tracks.
Alchemy: Contact with the edge or tip of the blade causes the contacted material to transmutate. The effected site is one inch deep from the blade by six inches wide. The infected sites converts into tungsten shavings.
Point: From the tip of the blade a point of energy is created. The point then becomes a line. As a one dimensional object the line is capable of passing through most solid objects. A twist of the blade initiates an expansion and the line becomes a three dimensional 'beam' of energy.
Scar: Driving the edge of the weapon into the ground generates a dense concentrated super heated pressure wave that races across the ground leaving a 1 inch scar in its wake.
Lamentation: The blade is thrust tip first into the ground down to the hilt. The shadow it casts elongants indefinitely and from it the hands of the damned jut forth grasping at the living.
Soul Buster: The blade becomes a portal of impenetrable darkness that cast forth the souls of the dead. Each dead soul that comes in contact with the living bites a chunk of the living's soul and rips it from their body.
Spark: The blade becomes electrically charged.
Light: The blade adopts the holy element.
Ignite: The blade is shrouded in flames.
Burst: Dozen of blades of air circle the primary blade.
Flora: The blade develops an unquenchable thirst that draws up all moisture.
Chill: The blade undergoes a major endothermic reaction that steals heat from points of contact.
Quintessence: An aphotic shroud envelopes everything before a powerful ray of destructive potential is released.
Decadence: Contact with the blade forces an object into a state of ruination.
Sunder: A slash of the blade releases a crescent of energy that sunders the air.
Render: The massive reserves of spiritual energy contained within Mercutio are released instantly irradiating the immediate area.
Miasma: The blade releases an aphotic cloud of viral particulates that invade and infect. The particulates convert all matter and energy that they come in contact with into evil/demonic/satanic/badjoojoo/Unholy energy/matter. This attack can be devastating to those who are divine/holy/angelic
Purge: A powerful spray of mist that appears to be constructed of divine light. The greater the opponent's negative energy/emotions the more damage it does. Those who are sinful are purged of their sins, an extremely painful price.
Værdiløs
The Theory
Værdiløs is a blade made from an unknown material that resonates with the threads of possibility. While in its sheath it is incapable of moving and thus has no magical ability. Once the blade is drawn it is free to vibrate which unleashes the swords full power.
Aligned with a specific possibility, it draws this thread into reality by making it increasingly probable until it becomes real.
Magic
The magic generated by Værdiløs is known as the shadow flame. The flame represents an absolute negative value of existence. IE it generates a localized area of negative energy.
This is not to be confused with negatively charged particles, sin, demonic energy, evil energy, or anything that might be consider 'negative' from a relative stand point. Everything within the universe, dark matter, matter, anti-matter, negative ions, positive ions, light, gravity, time, space, reality itself, is positive energy. It is positive because it exists.
In wormhole theory negative energy is not an actual type of energy but rather a spot where energy is owed. This causes the fabric of time and space to shred apart connecting two points that are by no means related to or close to one another.
The negative energy generated by Værdiløs works on a similar principle but one a much larger scale. It shreds in an omni-dimensional sense.
The Attack
The basic attack involves the blade being drawn from the sheath. Once this happens Cody becomes covered in a shroud of 'negative' energy. The time frame that he can maintain this is extremely limited as it vastly drains his spiritual reserves. If his spiritual energy wasn't expended the shroud would consume him completely destroying his existence.
Trinkets
Trinkets are magical items that further heighten Cody's offensive and defensive capabilities.
Saint Anthony
The medallion of Saint Anthony is a blessed artifact that resonates with Cody's existence. In doing so it draws forth his spiritual, astral, and physical representations and aligns them one another. At this point the man consciously exists on all planes at once, as if he existed only on one plane. This enhanced state of being brings about additional awareness due to his entire existence being consciously focused. In other words, because he consciously exists as an astral, physical, and spiritual being at the same time, he is always aware of the astral, spiritual, and physical.
The Mask
The magical resistance of dragons is well known. While the exact origin of this power is debatable all parts of their existence seem to inherit.The mask works to not only protect his face, but his mind, and the lenses that construct the eyes pierce the deepest of illusions.
Armor/Clothing
While the actual armor and clothing that Cody wears has already been discussed, a deeper look into the composition of it shall be made.
Mithril: Legend has it that Mithril is a metal that can be shaped like copper, is brilliant like silver but never dulls, and it stronger than steel, yet significantly lighter. This hints to the metal having properties similar to titanium and platinum.
Silk: Surprising silk is an extremely strong material with a fairly high tinsel strength. The real benefit of it though is the fake that it is flame retardant.
Dragon's Hide Leather: As previously mentioned Dragon's are known to posses a natural level of magical resistance. While the exact cause is unknown, their huge size, and tough hides make them powerful destructive forces that can take on any knight, mage, or paladin. Dragon hide leather has a greater strength and durability than standard cow hide. It also offers resistance to elemental damage, and has some dampening effects on most magic.
Partial Divinity
Carrying the blood of the Volsung means Cody in fact carries the blood of a god. This bolsters his physical strength, speed, resilience, and magical reserves significantly.
Runes & Spell Circles
The numerous runes and spell circles that coat Cody's body have actually been tattooed into his skin with Unicorn blood. Unicorn's are powerful mystical creatures who magical abilities far exceed their unimpressive and some what laughable appearance.
It is said that someone who consumes the blood of a unicorn will live forever, but forever be cursed for killing something so beautiful and pure.
The blood the unicorn posses high levels of magical energy and so the runes and spell circles that it composes draw there power not from Cody, but from themselves.
These runes offer protection, enhanced speed, increased strength, and bolster the power of his magic.
Clothing Runes
These runes which bolster the durability of the armor, as well as enhance Cody's speed and strength, draw their power from ambient magical energy as well as Cody's own magical powers.
The Multiplier
Where the normal amount of force that Cody might be able to exert on his own might have been 3,000lbs, the combination of the runes on his armor and body enhance this several folds. Where he might have maxed out sprinting at 20mph he can now 'burst' through the air for short distance blindingly.
