Discussion: The Outlands Corrupted

Name: Biomancer
Gender/Age: Male.
Fortress: (TBA)
Appearance: Eyes are said to be as dangerously iridescent as an oil slick, but also are said to change to a concerned pale brown when stressed. Wears a rather homespun-looking brown cloak.
Personality: Often depressive, and always cautious. Rather distant, but wishes to preserve life and the Mancers - whatever it takes.
Weapons/Tools: ?
Background: (TBD)

Name: Ventimancer

Gender/Age: Male.

Fortress: (TBA)

Appearance: Somewhat pale with deep blue eyes, usually with a tired, wind-blown look, and long, greasy hair. Almost always wears dark cloaks to conceal his blade, and possibly to look impressive in the wind. Uses oil instead of water to clean himself, for no apparent reason.
Personality: He almost always slouches and rarely makes himself known as a Mancer or General, preferring to stealth to grandeur. Rather than completely overhaul the government of his chosen fortress, Ventimancer worked swiftly to replace the fallen officials and preserve the former systems, hoping to ease the panic of the citizens. He usually trusts these leaders to make decisions, acting instead as an advisor.

His powers being very difficult to control, he often refrains from using them intentionally - when the situation calls for it, a storm starts brewing before he even thinks of it. He is extremely honor-bound, preferring to fight only with his Spectral Blade in man-to-man combat. He would show mercy to a serial killer and pity a dark god, filled with self-doubt. When he does spare an enemy and they attempt to stab him in the back, they have a habit of being struck my windblown debris.

Weapons/Tools: His prized weapon is the Spectral Blade, one of the mysterious pieces of the Spectral Armor once worn by a dimension-hopping madman. The Blade cuts like a strong breeze and bites like dry ice, but its primary function is to compel Ventimancer’s foe to fight honorably in a duel, in which the Ventimancer holds back the storm and his opponent holds back whatever. When this is in a proper battle, the storm may go on around them, aiding the Ventimancer’s allies as he focuses on his chosen enemy. He doesn’t always win these duels, but it has yet to cost him, and despite some urging from allies, he refuses to fight any differently.

The Ventimancer obtained a brass pen from interactions with a bizarre parasite years ago. A small portion of the liquid-bound consciousness remains in the pen, and will occasionally manage to open a lock, but it’s not strong or intelligent enough to manage most simple tasks. He seems to keep it as a pet and souvenir, often talking to it, although he doesn’t get an answer.

Background/History: Originating in Chanvale, Ventimancer encountered a dormant parasite which struck him dangerously ill. Conflict in the region drove him and a close friend to the Triple Fortress (modern-day Z1NE B), and in the deserts outside he was recruited by the Mancers. He was recognized as a potential Mancer, but the parasite prevented him from using his power. Only by awaking the parasite years later, and subsequently befriending and releasing it, was he freed from its power and revealed as the Mage of Winds.

Gender/Age: Male.

Fortress: (TBA)

Appearance: Somewhat pale with deep blue eyes, usually with a tired, wind-blown look, and long, greasy hair. Almost always wears dark cloaks to conceal his blade, and possibly just to look impressive in the wind.

Personality: Something of an adventure addict, the Ventimancer is more than willing to put himself in harm's way to explore the reshaped world. He considers himself a strong philosopher and helps wherever help is needed. He enjoys putting people on the edge of uncomfortable and has a love of riddles and mind games, making him somewhat difficult to work with.

His powers being very difficult to control, he often refrains from using them intentionally - when the situation calls for it, a storm starts brewing before he even thinks of it. He is extremely honor-bound, preferring to fight with his Spectral Blade in man-to-man combat. Clever and cunning, he is usually crafty enough to gain the upper hand in battle - although he's had his close calls.

Weapons/Tools: His prized weapon is the Spectral Blade, which cuts like a jet steam and bites like dry ice. Often he fights in the eye of the conjured storm, focusing on a few foes while his winds aid his allies.

Background/History: Before joining the Mancers, Ventimancer encountered a dormant parasite which took root within him but didn't possess him entirely.When he was eventually recognized as a potential Mancer, the parasite's very nature prevented him from using discovering power.

Name: Cryomancer
Gender/Age: Male, Ancient
Fortress: Chanvale
Appearance: Tall and thin, not much muscle but not any fat. Once a rich brown, his hair has gone a whiteish-grey (lets say Thok white), and is cut like [This]. He has a small goatee, and a pencil thin mustache. There are slightly wrinkles under his blazing cyan eyes and on his forehead. He usually wears a vest like [This]. ESSENTIALLY, THIS: [THIS]
Personality: Very carefree, if not slightly reckless at times. Half of everything he says is to make people laugh, and generally doesn't take many things seriously. He always likes to dress up nicely, but generally doesn't show off unless in a comical sarcastic manner.
Weapons/Tools: The Ensis, an ancient protodermis blade forged by an unknown elemental. It can transform into an ornate canesword that is tipped with a silver wolf's head. In either form, it is able to manipulate the cold in the air around the Cryomancer--as an instrument of his power--and wreak icy havoc from their. In the sword state, any cut it inflicts immediately starts to freeze up. A well placed stab could freeze the bloodstream and prove very fatal.
Background: Raised in the frigid hills of a reserved region, the Cryomancer's exact date of birth is unknown, much like his origins. He is known to have adventured over many parts of the dimension in his early years, travelling with either groups of nomads or advisors returning to distant fortresses. It is said that he began decades of journeys because he had no place to live, biding his time until his own fortress would be safe. When that time came, he returned to his ancestral place, called ‘Chan Lo’ at the time of his childhood, and led a rebellion against the Assassin’s Guild that controlled the fortress. Once the Guild was overthrown, Cryomancer was hailed as the new leader and immediately set to work tearing down the old laws that oppressed his people. During the Sundering, he protected Chanvale with his mancer powers—He was recruited into the Mancers sometime along his journeys, by Biomancer personally—and went on to be the Castellum of Chanvale.
