Name: Anarchim- meaning one who rules chaos in language of the world upon which he first truly came into being, Raxis originally not that it matters as he doesn't remember and neither does the goddess.
Age: millions of years
Gender: Male
Race: extra-planar entity
Alignment: chaotic neutral (while some may doubt this remember that chaos is not inherently bad, but that the breakdown of order is often perceived as evil.
Power Level: High 8
Timeline: Pretty much any
Appearance: He typically appears as a tall man with average musculature. He stands over 6 feet in height and his body is appropriately crafted to maintain the proper form needed, basically there are no actual flaws in his physical body. He has a face that is always lit with a rich flush of blood, a hectic flush stemming from his hatefully manic happiness. His face itself is not exactly handsome but it has something about it that draws people and attracts them or terrifies them depending. His eyes are of normal size and shape but burn with an unholy yellow fire as if lit from within. His nose cuts out from his face like a thin knife blade and his other facial features are slightly bony. His hair is a rather unusual yellowed color much like his burning yellow eyes. His hand's when they are examined are revealed to lack any of the lines found on a normal humans.
He is normally garbed in rich clothing that strives to show how much higher than humanity he invariably views himself as. He wears clothing spun from gold and silver. His clothing consists of a dinner jacket over a long sleeved shirt and pants beneath them. The jacket is made from spun gold and silver and is inlaid with scenes of what look to be ritualistic ceremonies. His jacket is buttoned with buttons made from silver and his shirt that he wears beneath his jacket is similarly made to the jacket just without buttons. His pants are flowing and near the bottom of the leg they flare out making giving more room around the foot. They are also inlaid with scenes, though their scenes are of ancient battles. He has a pair of boots that he wears on his feet. They unlike the rest of his clothing are not made from gold and silver, they are instead made from leather coated in the gold and silver and inlaid with it as well. He also wears and top-hat made from the spun gold and silver as well.
During mediaeval times and his time spent in worlds that rely on magic rather then technology his clothing is much the same. The design is the same but instead of the dinner jacket and dress pants he instead wears robes with the same scenes displayed on them. Rich royal looking robes in the style described above.
Personality: He is arrogant and proud viewing himself as far better than anyone else could ever be. He feels the need to make others bask in his superior glory which contributes to his rather excessive clothing. Of course as a being that was once a god he has feelings of grandeur and it shows clearly from him. He also despite his great intelligence often fails to come up with appropriate contingency plans because he doesn’t believe he can be defeated, at least not really. Though he will take precautions for other things He also possesses a maniacal happiness. He finds many things funny that others do not and he has been observed to be laughing even as his schemes fall to ruin. He is prone to showboating and flaunting his perceived superiority over others. It is not enough to win, he has to grind his foe's face in the dirt to show how much greater than them he is. Despite his in many ways cruel personality does have the capacity to feel and show other emotions. To date the only being he has been known to love is the goddess Claria who he has been reunited with recently, at least recently to him. This love is also apparent in his appreciation of music and a respect for those who create it.
History: Countless eons ago there was a pantheon of gods who were worshiped and ruled over a culture on a planet now long dead. But the story of the planet itself is one for another time. The god Raxis trickster god of fire and chaos had long held a bitter enmity with Mallorum, god of light and order, the highest of the pantheon. An enmity born both of the desire to rule and the anger at being denied what he felt was rightfully his. Something of which many terrible wars and great strife are oft born of. A woman, or more strictly a goddess. Claria, the goddess of music and beauty.
Raxis and Claria had originally had feelings towards each other, but when the time came and Mallorum decided upon which of the many goddesses he would choose for his wife he chose her. As he was the head god neither of the two could do anything to stop him then. But gods live a long time and later the two found ways to get time together. And they began to resent Mallorum for having ruined their desires. And so they planned an attempt to overthrow him. A genius attempt that likely would have succeeded had it not been found out before the plan could come to full fruition.
Mallorum discovered the plot against him and since he had caught it early enough he and his supporters among the pantheon crushed the two gods who had rebelled and then in an act of divine retribution shattered them into many pieces and scattered them throughout the multiverse. But the divine retribution was not so total as it had been meant to be.
The piece of the Raxis that had retained memory awoke upon a planet much like earth, perhaps it was an alternate earth. He had memories of former glory, memories of the one he had felt love for once, and memories of the one who had cast him down. He lacked memory of what his name had been though that had been destroyed when he was shattered. He was weakened immensely from the shattering reduced to only a fragment of himself. His powers barely more than that of the humans who inhabited the planet.
But he knew how to bring himself back, he had been shattered and he had to find the shards that had once been him and consume them returning their strength to his. He had enough power to if only barely twist people to his will enough to allow him to recover the first shard and with that shard he felt the beginning of strength flow back into him. With each of the shards he recovered on that world his strength grew and the next was found more easily. The people of the planet began to fear him and he became a being conjured to make children fear, they gave him a name by their fear that he still carries today. Anarchim meaning chaos lord for the chaos that he spread in his wake, first in tiny amounts and then growing bit by little bit. Fear born when the order that gave the illusion of safety was stripped away. But fear was not the only thing for which he was known, there were also instances of affection and a treasuring of things such as music and beauty, while the latter he would still interfere with if such was needed in advancing the chaos.
As he sought the shards of himself he found several others as well shards of the one he had loved and he kept those as well and began to seek them actively as well. He would find a conscious shard of her, and he would restore her as well as himself. When after several thousand years he located all the shards of himself and the goddess that had been on that earth he sought out means to cross to another world. He found theorists who speculated as to how to create portals to other worlds and he used them to create a portal to send him to another world.
In this next world he again sought for and found the shards of himself and the goddess. For millennia he crossed from world to world seeking out the shards. He encountered many different worlds and the beings that dwelt on those worlds. He encountered other gods and pantheons some sympathetic to his plight and some who where intolerant of his presence. They would attack him or threaten him and to them he responded in kind.
Eventually and comparatively recently he discovered the conscious shard of the goddess. And he bestowed the shards of her he had gathered and returned her to true existence even though it was far less than his. Together they continued the search for the shards and eventually they came to this earth.
Powers:
Instill Insanity- Anarchim has the capacity to drive people insane by staring them in the face for a long enough period of time. This will not work on strong minded individuals, it can work on weak minded people and the stronger someone is willed the longer and more difficult it becomes to drive them insane.
Charm Person- He has the ability to convince people that he always knows what is best and essentially brainwash them to follow him or do as he suggests they do, pretty much whatever that may be, also only for use on weak minded or npc characters and used on PCs successfully only with permission
Project Illusions- He is capable of entering persons mind and feeding it images and illusions of things that do not exist, or altering the perceptions of things that do exist. This is a versatile power and can be used for many things.
High end pyromancy- He has extremely powerful and fine tuned pyromancy. He is capable of summoning fire of the heat needed to melt or burn nearly any substance in milliseconds. However he prefers to not use so much as it becomes harder to control the more intense he makes the fire. This also causes guns and other firearms to fail around him. He causes the spark needed to fire the gun to fail to fire. This is not universal and requires him to be focusing on the process of stopping the guns.
Above human physical attributes- He is significantly stronger and faster than a normal person. He is capable of throwing around a car and his reaction times are equal to those of most high tier high characters. His speed is also above human, he can move about as quickly as a modern fighter jet at his upper speeds.
Chaos energy manipulation- He can manipulate chaos based energy, While chaos based energy is can be extremely powerful it is also highly unpredictable and so when it is used it can either be very high power or very low depending on random chance more than anything else.
Self Reincarnation ritual- He was given knowledge by one of the gods of another pantheon that took a liking to him. A ritual meant to allow him provided he has performed it to survive his seeming death. When he would die he returns to life somewhere else. This ritual requires the preparation of an anchor that serves to tether his existence to it. When he would die the anchor is used to pull him back from the abyss and then is dissolved and a new one must be prepared.
Minor alchemical manipulation- He is capable of changing things from one thing to another and restructuring things around him to a limited extent. He can turn air solid and do other tricks like that, the other thing this power is used for is to alter his own form to appear however he wishes to appear.
Short and long range teleportation- He is capable of short and long range teleportation. The Long range teleportation will put him within a 50 foot area of where he wants to end up. Where exactly is variable. Short range teleportation is combat applicable and allows him to teleport to exact places within a similar 50 foot area.
Equipment: He does not typically carry equipment.
Weakness: He is highly arrogant not believing that could really be defeated and this often sets him up to fail. He also as he is a being of chaos is vulnerable to lawful or order based attacks they damage him more than a normal attack would because of their nature and his. There is also his love for the goddess and his need to protect her given that she is significantly weaker than him. This is a rather crippling weakness as she is the only thing besides his own life that he truly cares about and so he will go to nearly any lengths to protect her.
