Name: Baron Morgan Dross the 14th
Gender: Male
Age: 193, though he doesn't look a day over 135
Race: Human undead
Appearance;
- Hair: Fell out years ago. He's not very bitter about that particular loss.
- Eyes: The worms got to them before he could, unfortunately.
- Height/Weight: The loss of Morgan's mortal flesh took an inch or two off, leaving him standing at about 5'4 and weighing in at a feather-light 90 pounds.
- Skin: It's somewhere, certainly. Just not on him.
- Build: He was already a thin, sickly man, and death didn't do him any favors in that department. Morgan comes off as waspish, almost emaciated when in disguise, and even moreso when out of it. Because he's a skeleton.
- Noteworthy Features: Literally just a skeleton.
Magic: Morgan was an accomplished necromancer in life, and death has brought him fresh understanding of the art.
- Wake the Dead: The primary tool in his necromantic arsenal, this spell allows Morgan to animate a corpse of any race or species as a shambling, grotesque servant. Undead created this way are mindless, incapable of independent action outside of self-defense if attacked.
- Spirit Catcher: After performing the appropriate ritual, Morgan can capture and contain a ghost, spirit, or other incorporeal entity inside of a specially prepared vessel. He prefers to use his old hip flask for this purpose. Once released, the spirit must follow one order given by Morgan before dissipating.
- Last Words: By pouring an offering of rum or other strong alcohol down a corpse's throat, Morgan may temporarily call back their soul from the veil of death to answer no more than three questions, after which the body returns to regular dead flesh and the spell cannot be performed again.
-- Drawback: Magic is in Morgan's bones, so to speak, sustaining him and keeping him animate. The more he exercises his mystical might, the weaker the enchantments holding his spirit to his body become and the closer he gets to dying for good. Thus, he tries to use his magic sparingly and only when the situation calls for it.
Abilities/Skills: Being a skeleton and all, Morgan is incredibly resilient, bouncing back from injuries that would kill a regular man. If his bones are scattered or disconnected, they simple pull themselves back together like a handful of magnets. However, this also means that both regular and magical healing practices have no effect on him, and a broken bone will stay broken forever without a suitable replacement. He is, however, a skilled medic and surgeon, and time has only given him more opportunity to hone that skill. Also, a damn good cook for somebody without taste buds.
I'm not Shen, so I'm not allowed to accept or deny, but I did have one question...How does he see without eyes?
It's gonna be fun!It has been discussed, Red Fox and I have made our antagonists and know of a way to wrap in the main caste. Let's see how this plays out.
