Salzarar "The Final Skeletoid"

Fallen Elf · March 27th, 2011, 9:51 pm

Name: Salzarar "The Final Skeletoid"

Age: 532

Gender: Male

Skills:

Reattachment: Being a Skeletoid, the only way to kill him permanently is to sever his head from his body, and keep it away from his body. If one of his limbs is severed, it can reattach itself to his body. To stop this regrowth, the one who severed the limb must keep the limb contained, and in a few minutes it will grow limp, making his reattachment effect for that limb null and void. This ability doesn't work for internal organs.

Magic: Salzarar is very skilled with magic, able to weave the most complex of spells and wards. He also has knowledge of several types of Lost Magic, magic so old, known only to the older races until Galbatorix rediscovered it. His magical ability makes him one of Galbatorix's top magicians. He can even teleport, but it uses a large amount of energy, and the farther he teleports, the more energy he uses.

Swordsmanship: Also very skilled with, but not as skilled as he is with magic. He has been training his swordsmanship ever since he entered Galbatorix's service, which was a hundred years ago because as a Skeletoid, he couldn't wield a sword until he was placed into a human body(in history).

Physical Ability: He is no idiot, and he knows that when without a sword, all he will have to defend himself with from an enemy swordsman is magic, which, while useful, leaves himself somewhat defenseless in close combat. Therefore, he has been training himself in martial arts excessively. Now, he is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and knows how to defend himself from various weapons, as well as disarm the opponent. His strength helps largely in martial arts, and being a Skeletoid, his strength is matched by few, and he has yet to meet anyone who exceeds his physical strength. He can leap a high distance into the air, and so far, his highest distance is twenty-five feet.

Transformation: When placed into a difficult situation, he can break the seal between his Skeletoid body and the human body he was placed in which allows him to revert to the Skeletoid body. It's body is bony and skeletal, hence the name 'Skeletoid,' but despite that, he has an even greater amount of strength in this form. His magic is more stable and stronger in this form, but he cannot wield a sword in this form either. Even though he has wings, he can only use them to glide. However, when he reverts to this form, the human body he was placed in is destroyed. After the battle, he usually has to rest for several days to regain energy as he became largely unaccustomed to entering this form ever since Galbatorix placed him into a human's body. After he rests, he must find Galbatorix and seal himself into a new human's body, which can take days of preparing and work.

Race: He is a Skeletoid, a race that existed when the dragons did, but they had a massive war with the dragons and all known Skeletoid and Skeletoid eggs were killed, but the dragons were also extremely endangered after the war, and it is surprising that they managed to recuperate. A Skeletoid's egg hatches randomly. It can hatch a minute after it is layed, or millennium afterwards. After the war, the few dragons alive thought they had wiped out all of the Skeletoid, but unfortunately, they were wrong.

Hair: In his current human body, he has brown, spiky hair.

Eyes: He has large green eyes, with slits of purple in the middle. Strangely enough, the color of his eyes pass with him from body to body.

Home Village: He has no idea.

Parents: He has no idea.

Siblings: He has no freakin idea! :)

Character Personality: Despite Salzarar's anger at dragons, his patience will never run out. It doesn't matter if his plan takes many millennium, even, because he will just keep switching bodies, from one person to another, until he succeeds in his goal. When the dragons think he is dead, he will come back again, in a different body and resume his goal. He has an infinite amount of time to kill these beasts, and kill them he will. He detests the Elves, but for different reasons than the dragons. He detests them because they practically worship the dragons. He has admitted that he is slightly jealous of the appreciation dragons get, but he is also enraged that people judge him before they actually know him. Therefore, he is done with humans, he is done with Elves, and he is done with dragons. He shall destroy them all. Although he works with Galbatorix, their plans are vastly different, almost the opposite of each other. Salzarar believes that now is the best time to strike the dragons, because there are only a few of them left. Soon, the Skeletoid will stalk the land once more, and humans will begin to fear his name for an actual reason other than that he is a Skeletoid. He has respect for Galbatorix, but he also values Galbatorix's position as the a King, and sees that as a worthwhile goal for himself.

Character History: Salzarar's egg hatched many millennium after the war, many millennium after his race was killed to every last living Skeletoid, but him. He hatched in the Spine, and had spent his life there. Forced to live alone because he was misunderstood, he grew bitter. The humans had had no reason to discriminate against him when they knew nothing about him, but as Salzarar's anger and bitterness towards the other races grew, they began to have a reason, and it was growing more powerful, just as Salzarar's anger was. He spent hundreds of years in the Spine, occasionally attacking cities around the area. Then, he heard about Galbatorix when he had visited Kuasta. He heard about the insane used-to-be Rider, and how he had killed an Elder and fled. However, Salzarar had no entrance in Galbatorix, as he was sure that the Riders would dispose of him eventually whether or not Salzarar helped him.

However, as time passed and news of Galbatorix's death hadn't reached Salzarar, he became more and more interested in Galbatorix. The Riders hadn't been able to dispose of him yet. Either Galbatorix was very cunning, or the Riders had no idea what they were doing. It was probably both. Afterwards, he heard about the Forsworn, and how Galbatorix had taken over Alagaesia. That was when Salzarar had made up his mind. He journeyed towards Uru'baen, intent on finding Galbatorix. Once there, he finally came into contact with the man. Galbatorix was surprised; he had never seen a Skeletoid before. However, he had done reading on them, and, after Salzarar asked Galbatorix why he hadn't seen any Skeletoid, Galbatorix replied the grim truth. "The dragons and the Skeletoid had gotten into a massive war several millennium ago. It was a war even more gruesome then the one between the Elves and the dragons, and eventually, it was lost in history, recorded in an ancient book the Riders had kept secret in Vroengard. I had no idea there were any survivors," Galbatorix had explained.

Salzarar had become furious. The dragons had wiped his entire race out, and for what reason? It was that they had considered Skeletoid to be abominations, and a, quote, "Pathetic dragon-pretenders." Galbatorix had then made Salzarar a deal: If Salzarar worked for Galbatorix loyally, then he would help Salzarar exterminate the dragons and restore the Skeletoid. Of course, Galbatorix had no interest in eliminating the dragons, and eventually, he would explain to Salzarar that there was no need to destroy them. However, he did intent to help restore the Skeletoid. They were a powerful race, and would be valuable assets in his army. Then, Galbatorix started training Salzarar after sealing him in the skin of a human. Salzarar has killed three dragons so far.

Weapons: He has two weapons other than magic and his fists. One is a skeletal whip. It is six feet in length, and made out of chopped of dragon bones. After collecting dragon bones, Salzarar had brought them to Galbatorix, and he smithed this weapon. It is also enchanted to where it can burn skin it comes into contact with. His other weapon is a greatsword. Five feet in length, and very strong. Because of Salzarar's strength, he can hold this sword and fight with it in one hand.

Likes: Killing dragons, getting stronger.

Dislikes: Dragons.

Fears/Weaknesses: He knows that he cannot kill all of the dragons on his own, and he doesn't trust that Galbatorix will help him kill the dragons because it is commonly known that he wishes to restore them, so he is worried that one day, a dragon might be strong enough to kill him or maim him eternally.

Animal Companion: None.

Physical Description: In the body he is in currently, he has large green eyes, with slits of purple in the middle. Strangely enough, the color of his eyes pass with him from body to body. He has brown, spiky hair. He stands at an intimidating 6'7", and commonly wears a red and black helmet that covers his face and hair, and has a curved, four-inch wide slit so that he can see. He wears black and red armor with a cape. There's a jagged S on both his cape and the front of his armor.

Dreams: He intends to destroy all dragons. It doesn't matter how long it takes him, as long as he gets the job done. Eventually, he also wants to destroy the Elves, as he detests their praising of dragons. After that, he wishes to destroy all humans, because of their discrimination towards him.

Reasons for Dreams: The dragons wiped out his entire race, and he is the sole survivor. The dragons will pay for what they have done.

Alignment: Technically he is with Galbatorix, but he is only doing so for his own, personal needs.
