Silverblade Banetail (PhilSys character)

Quick Stats:


Silvanus "Silverblade" Banetail (Storm Eye) - Lvl 2, 70 HP, 30 MP, 20 TP

Background:

Name: Silvanus 'Silverblade' Banetail; age - 225; eyes - steel blue; hair - none; height - 7' 10"

History:Silvanus originates from a plane where dragons are predominant. At the age of 75, he and his younger brother Derill were called upon by a powerful vampire. Silvanus sensed trouble then, but before he could react, almost all of Derill's power was locked up by a curse. Silvanus had been paralyzed beforehand, so he couldn't act. The two were then thrust into Gaera, near Valth. They split up at that point and haven't seen each other for a long time. Silvanus has been fighting in armies for 150 years since then. Recently he has reunited with his brother, but got captured by his brother's arch-nemesis, Storm Eye, and his weapons were stolen. Luckily, he broke free... but before breaking free, he stole a normal and an evil sword from Storm Eye's vaults. To his dismay, the evil sword's essence is clawing at Silvanus's very mind - indeed, it is permeating his soul. Silvanus now seeks a way to control the sword's power.

Physical Description: Silvanus Banetail is a 'dragon-kin', one of the only ones in the known world. Dragon-kin, which can live to be over 450 years old, look much like tall humanoids, except all of their features are those of dragons. Dragon-kin even have wings, claws, scales, and tails, just like dragons. Silvanus's scale color is a light silver tone, and he has a horn on his nose that looks like a rhino horn; he lacks the extra two horns that his brother has. It is rumored that he can breathe fire, but this rumor is false; he instead has the capability to breathe ice.

--Techs--
  • [Innate]Dragon-kin Properties - A passive skill. Due to Silvanus's dragon-kin nature, he, like his brother Derill, receives 50% damage reduction from ice-based effects. As he increases in level (5, 10, 15, and 20), this bonus increases (by 25% per increment). However, Silvanus takes 2 times as much damage from fire-based attacks. This increases to triple damage at level 10.
  • [Innate]Ice Breath - Instead of attacking normally, Silvanus, like his brother Derill, can let loose a wide blast of ice from his mouth. This attack deals 4+(stamina*4)+2d6 (22-32) ice damage to a group of targets within a 15-foot long, 9-foot wide cone in front of Silvanus (use MAG/INT/STA with Silvanus's level as a bonus rather than the standard MAttack), but can only be used a number of times per day equal to Silvanus's Stamina statistic.
  • [Swords=2] Blade Uppercut (4 TP) - Silvanus sweeps his blade upwards in a devastating attack. Deals 2x Chop damage, but has a penalty of -8 on the attack roll rather than -6.
  • [Swords=4] Ponderous Strike (10 TP) - Silvanus becomes very angry and swings his sword hard enough to cut weaker beings in half. This attack has a -8 penalty to hit, but deals 3x Chop damage if it hits. After the attack, Silvanus is wide open to attack, suffering a -5 PA penalty until his next action.
  • [Telepathy=1]Telepathy (0 MP out of combat, 2 MP in combat) - Allows the user to speak telepathically "out loud." Anyone may hear this, unless it is directed at a target recipient.

Special Techs: Fabelia and Silvanus's Torture

Description: The Fabelia is a sentient, wholly evil, and very powerful sword of legend. It beckons its owner to use it in battle, yet its evil essence harms the hands that hold on to it. The sword does not care, however - all it cares about is the destruction of enemies for souls to feed and sustain its power. Drawing Fabelia requires the use of a skill from the list of techs that follow, and TP is paid once, when the sword is drawn.

When drawn, Fabelia has the following statistics:
  • a Strength requirement of +5
  • base damages of 16/22/35
  • a -5/-5 AT/PA penalty, modified by +1/+1 for every 4 ranks of Soul Torture Silvanus has
Some other notes:
  • the sword may speak telepathically and receive telepathic messages
  • the sword may sense what is going on around it
  • the sword may hit ethereal and incorporeal beings if Silvanus can sense them
  • the sword's base damage is of the dark element, and the rest (Strength damage bonus plus die roll) is physical damage
  • while Fabelia is touching Silvanus's hands (while the sword is drawn), Silvanus takes ((tech's Soul Torture rank requirement)+(ranks of Soul Torture over requirement)/2, rounding fractions down)+1d6 damage each round (as the sword burns his life essence and his hands)
  • if the sword is ever removed from Silvanus's possession, he suffers (Soul Torture rank)*2+1d6 points of subdual damage per round until the sword is returned to him

    • [Soul Torture=1]Relinquish Darkness - If Silvanus wishes to sheath Fabelia, he must use a full-round action to make a COU/COU/INT check vs. a DC of 15+(Soul Torture rank). If Silvanus fails, he cannot sheath the sword, but may try again the next round, with a cumulative +3 bonus to the check for each round he has failed the check. Success on one check means Silvanus sheathes the sword.
    • [Soul Torture=3]Sparrow Strike (4 TP) - Silvanus calls upon Fabelia's power of swiftness. While the sword is drawn, Silvanus takes his action at an initiative count that is 4 higher than his current initiative, and his AT and PA increase by 4 each.
    • [Soul Torture=6]Violent Rage (7 TP) - Silvanus calls upon Fabelia's power of rage. While the sword is drawn, Silvanus may strike twice in a round, as long as both attacks are of the same type (two thrusts, two slashes, or two chops).
    • [Soul Torture=9 (currently unavailable)]Assassin's Cutter (8 TP) - Silvanus calls upon Fabelia's power of precision. While the sword is drawn, Silvanus's attacks have a 1 in 4 chance of causing double the base damage. If Silvanus scores a critical with the blade, AND the base damage is doubled, AND the one struck is a living creature not protected from life-draining, AND the target's health is less than 1/2 its maximum, the result is instant death. If the victim is non-living, above 1/2 health, or protected from life-draining, or if the base damage was not doubled, roll the critical as normal.
    • [Soul Torture=12 (currently unavailable)]Storm Stealer (12 TP) - Silvanus calls upon Fabelia's power of fear. While the sword is drawn, Silvanus's attacks deal 150% more damage and inspire fear in all who witness them. Those affected must make a Courage check against Silvanus's COU/INT/STA check (adding Soul Torture ranks) or become panic stricken, suffering a -6/-6 AT/PA penalty and not being able to act for the next 1d4 rounds. These effects are cumulative.
    • [Soul Torture=17 (currently unavailable)]Grim Vengeance (16 TP) - Silvanus calls upon Fabelia's power of strength. While the sword is drawn, Silvanus's attacks deal triple damage. Any critical hits deal instant death unless the target is somehow resistant to dark energies.
    • [Soul Torture=22 (currently unavailable)]Dark Angel (21 TP) - Silvanus calls upon Fabelia's power of devastation. While the sword is drawn, Silvanus acts first in any given combat round, and strikes three times with the same type of blow on his turn (three thrusts, three swings, or three chops).
    • [Soul Torture=27 (currently unavailable)]Blade of Retribution (16 TP) - Silvanus calls upon Fabelia's power of revenge. While the sword is drawn, any and every attack dealt upon Silvanus in a given turn, whether successful or not, is countered by a slash from Fabelia itself.
    • [Soul Torture=33 (currently unavailable)]Vengeful Warrior (40 TP) - Only at this point of expertise and bonding with Fabelia is Silvanus able to call upon all of the sword's power at once. While the sword is drawn, Silvanus strikes first in any combat round, deals four attacks at once (four thrusts, four slashes, or four chops), and his damage per attack is tripled.
