Appearance: Zodiarne dresses as if he were always cold. He wears a green dragon-hide jacket with a collar made of snow wolf fur, that is a rich white colour. He always tends to wear a pair of dark dragon-hide jeans with a pair of bronze dragon-hide boots. He wears no shirt, yet he wears his trademark cap and gloves, both engraved with a green and gold Z in their center. He has a very fair complection with light blue eyes and golden blonde hair. He possesses an average build yet has a pair of skeletal wings protruding from his back, which are connected to his own skeleton, as they have always been.
His wings function correctly and possess a very thin membrane unseeable by the human eye. He has the features of any other 16 year old, for upon his becoming a Lich, he was blessed with a spell to prevent the aging of his body. He doesn't have much in the way of muscles, but he possesses a little more strength than would seem. Also he possesses a small birthmark upon his right shoulder in the shape of a wing.
From a distance he seems to possess only golden blonde hair, yet as you get closer his hair seems to shimmer and the colour seems to change, even though it doesn't. He bears three scars upon his face, the largest ranging from his left eye to his chin and doubling back to his right ear. The remaining two scars are found above his eyes.

Personality
Zodiarne is a person who takes care of others before himself. He tends to act weaker than he actually is, just to avoid conflict. Though he loves the thrill of battle, he prefers to settle his fights in areas where the damage to civilians and terrain is minimal.

Biography
Zodiarne was once a weak child, used only for the most degrading of tasks in the village of Gharan, that is until he discovered a tome titled "Le Khaner re te Li." Upon the opening of this tome, dark shadows spilled forth from the book, stopping the effect of time upon Zodiarne's body as a malevolent force worked its magic over the 16 year old boy. Once he had finished reading the book, and the demonic force had finished enchanting him, his eyes, once a lusterous shade of deep green with black pupils, changed to light blue with white pupils, and from a human to a Lich. Graced with all of the powers of a lich, including the fabled "Lich Bod-Steal", and his basic knowledge of weaponry and basic elemental spells, he found that each spell had been perfected so as not to accidentally kill himself, yet not so perfected as to work every time it is used. Soon after beingblessed with these powers, Zodiarne began to fight an up-hill battle with the raging evil inside of himself, and thus did he journey to the Temple of Mirrors, to face the wickedness inside. Upon reaching the Temple steps, he was faced by a paladin of old, whose deed had gave him life as an angel, to test his will to resist the evil's temptations.
The angel drew a glorious sword and rested the flat of its blade on Zodiarne's head, and drew the evil from him, for Zodiarne to fight. The fight took several days, of which the angel held the evil at bay while Zodiarne slept, and upon the fifth day, Zodiarne succeeded in truly vanquishing the evil within himself, purifying his soul, yet keeping the enchantments that were benefical to him, with permission from the angel. For a thousand years, Zodiarne and his pet, Rasei-Nizode, have traveled the world, ridding it of many evils and founding the city of Valhalla. Now he rises from his high perch and teachings of elemental magic, only to lay low any greater evils that rise up in the world, or any one who opposes the clans, Valhalla's Cidgel Army or the Angelic Knights.

Example:
As Zodiarne stood upon the steps of the majestic Temple of Mirrors, a bright-winged angel descended from his high throne before the Great Mirror and challenged Zodiarne. In the face of the great angel, Zodiarne knelt, and bade a request from the angel, "O, exhalted Keeper of the Mirror, do not slay me, for I come to this sacred place to ask a chance to slay the evil within me." With a nod, the angel drew his sword and placed it upon Zodiarne's head and drew the evil from his body. The malevolent force coalesced into a form closely resembling Zodiarne, yet black and rank with the stench of decay, and from its yawning lips hissed, "Foolish boy, I made you what you are, I gave you LIFE! And you dare try to banish ME!" Chills ran down Zodiarne's spine as he rises up to face the dark image of himself. "I shall KILL YOU!", the malevolent doppleganger hissed as it lunged towards Zodiarne, who drew his Wraith Blade in self defense. AS the hilt came free of its bindings, its blade, glowing white in semblance with Zodiarne's pure soul, roared forth. destroying the doppleganger's arm as they came into contact with one another. The dark figure, hissing with rage and pain, reeled backwards, its arm quickly regrowing from the stub that the Wraith Blade had left. And so, the Trial of Temptation had begun.

Since Zodiarne has not logged on in over 3 months, I'm going to move this thread to 'Retired,' and close it.

If you wish to make the suggested changes and have your character looked at for approval, please PM me, and I will move the thread back to 'Hall of Warriors.'
