#3 of Character Sheets


Name: Selen Shepard

Species: Human/Bat

Age: 19

Likes: Forbidden magic books.

Dislikes: Death, witch hunters.

Appearance: He's very petite and short, his hair as black as coal and his left eye of a light grey; the right one is always covered by a white eye-patch since he lost it when he was a child. As a bat his fur is cream coloured, his belly being slightly lighter, he also has long fangs and wings that are independent from his arms.

Personality: He's a very shy boy, kinda quiet and insecure. He grew up being bullied after his whole family was killed, and this led him to be easily depressed, although he can be very determined when he wants to reach his goals. He became a necromancer to find a way to overcome death and resurrect his family, or at least to be able to save people from the same grief he suffered when his relatives died; and although his personality leads him to be passive, this one purpose keeps him going and always seeking for more power, which might eventually make him dangerously unstable.

Family: -Mother: Evelyn, deceased. -Father: Lucas, deceased. -Teacher: Hades, he teaches healing magic in his school, he developed a big crush on him.

Backstory: He was born in a witch coven, but witch hunters destroyed the whole clan when he was still a child. The hunters accidentally slashed his right eye during the fight, causing him to lose its sight, but did not have the heart to kill him, so they took him with them and brought him to a magic school where he grew up as an outcast because of his origins, bullied or avoided by the other students. Pushed by curiosity about his family he developed a big interest in witchcraft and forbidden arts, and started secretly reading the tomes the school had on those topics; he also met Hades, his healing teacher, who shared the same interest with him and helped him to increase his knowledge and power. After finally leaving his school he kept practising and studying dark magic, looking for a way to effectively revive the dead, and not just corpses.

Abilities: He studied dark arts thoroughly, and this gave him a wide range of forbidden skills to use in battle. She's mainly a necromancer, and can summon corpses and souls to haunt the enemy, and even open gates to the underworld. He channels his spells through a scythe shaped staff, which he can also use as a melee weapon. He can also curse his enemies with illnesses, like plague or pox, contained in a green-glowing lantern that he keeps hanged around his belt, and even summon old torture machines to inflict pain. Inside him resides the soul of a powerful female lich, who he can bring to surface to gain more power, however that causes the lich to get more power over Selen's body as well.

Skill List: -Phantom Claws: Ghost hands claw at the enemies multiple times. -Banshee's Scream: A female spirit appears and screeches loudly. -Iron Maiden: Souls gather up and form an iron maiden to enclose the enemy. -Torture Vise: A large vise is created from dead souls to mercilessly crush foes. -Soul Gate: Summons a small gate to the underworld which spits out souls. -Dragon Soul: Summons a huge skeletal dragon head to snap at enemies before disappearing. -Miasma: A foul stench of rotting flesh invades the air, draining strengths from enemies around. -Plague: Spreads the plague to her enemies, which causes their skin to quickly rot and kill them.
