Name: Rau Massaa
Gender: Male
Species: Undead
Age: Life ended at 35, been dead for 3 years, has lived another 10 years. (Total of 48)
Allignment: Lawful Evil
Power Level: Medium
Timeline: Medieval
Appearance: Wears only black. most times wears light armour designed for protection and decoration, like a warlord\'s. Armour is a polished black and shows that it has recieved tender care. Rau has scraggly black hair and the beginnings of a scruffy beard this has shown that the care the armour recieved wasn\'t passed on. Wears a black tattered cloak, occasionally the hood is up, concealing all facial features. His eyes are slightly bloodshot and are a milky yellow in colour.
History: Once a kind and gentle soul. Rau kept all those around him safe. In training to recieve accomadations to become a warrior of light, Rau condemned the cruel and corrupt. One day he found himself in love, eventually marrying. However, one of his good friends also loved the same woman. Seeing the two together sparked flames of jealousy. The man concocted a plan, becoming steeped in dark, forbidden power. The holy knights sensed the dark aura, and after one of their most esteemed leaders was killed, the blame was pinned on Rau. Rau was stripped of his rank and exiled, but not before he was sentanced to watch his wife be tortured and killed, as they believed she was a witch helping Rau with the murder. The friend that betrayed Rau was crushed, blaming Rau for his plan backfiring, convincing himself that Rau was the evil one. He hunted down his former friend and tried to kill him, becoming so insane that he viewed Rau as the one using unholy powers, viewing himself as a blessed warrior killing a demonic beast. Rau managed to defeat him, and after finding out the entire plot, he himself plunged into turmoil. It was then it dawned on him that the powers and religion he had reared himself on for years had forsaken him. Enraged, yet still reluctant, he cut all ties from his former calling. Rau became a hermit, spreading words of blasphelmy to all travelers that sought shelter in his hermitage. Eventually he was visited by an old associate, a holy knight that had also found out the truth about Rau\'s friend. He asked Rau to come back to the holy knights, offering him a recommision. Infuriated at the man\'s request, he took up arms against the man. Rau was defeated in battle however, and died from fatal wounds.
Three years later, a necromancer had heard stories of Rau and his hate. Seeking out the resting place of the man, he brought him back from the grave. Rau, now equipped with shadowy weaponry, powers and a dark mind, set out as a sort of grim reaper, sending those on the edge of life to death. He still remembers his past suffering, and seeks to hunt down and kill any members of pure and good organizations. Rau had now become one of the unholy creatures he had once sought to destroy.
Personality: Often depressed and gloomy. Rau hates any and all religions with zealous passion. He is often cold and cruel to others. Rau will work with others still, but those under divine calling are immediately on his bad side, only assisting such people if downright necessary. He still seems to have a good and gentle soul very deep down, as he is merciful and honourable, even showing compassion at times.
Weapon: Scylla Blade: Rau\'s sword, crafted by the necromancer before bringing back Rau. A dark element sword. It is a simple falchion, with a serrated edge. It in itself carries dark energy, and every wound it causes serves as life energy for Rau. Only Rau can wield this sword effectively, and those of a pure heart will find themselves victim of the Scylla Blade\'s life-draining power if they try to wield it.
Rau is also trained with other swords, but only carries the Scylla Blade.
Powers: Rau has slight teleportation abilities, but they would only be powerful enough for him to maybe warp behind an enemy.
Rau\'s power over the dark makes him able to animate an enemy\'s shadow into attacking it\'s caster, making it solid and tangible as well.
Rau can also use \"tangible shadows\" as attacks, such as dark flames. Rau can also use black lightning and use shadows as a force shield of sorts.
Dark Gate: Rau\'s ultimate ability in his arsenal, but also the least likely to be used. Opening the gates between life and death, Rau will force the enemy into the netherworld. The more healthy the victim is, the less likely this will succeed. Also, when this is used, Rau won\'t be able to use it for one to three months, depending on how much of a fight the victim put up. This, along with Rau\'s reluctance to use it, make this technique a rarely seen phenomenon.
Weaknesses: Rau can thrive on holy ground, like a church, (though it probably won\'t do much for his mood) but he is extra suspectable to blessed weapons and spells. Rau is constantly being harassed by the ghosts of his former friend and his wife, bringing him emotional pain and distracting him from his surrondings, making him highly vulnerable. Rau is also weak against fire for unknown reasons.
