OOC: Time to begin the trio of baddies. First up, the leader, Crugan.

Name: Pre-Takeover, he was Frank. Now, Frank is no more, and is replaced by the demon known as Crugan.

Age: Frank was twenty-three when taken over, but it has been hundreds of years since then, and Crugan has lost count, but the demon that inhabits him was said to be born in the creation of the world, but locked in the Void by others, deeming it too dangerous.

Gender: Male

Skills:

Corruption: Crugan is extremely skilled in manipulation. He has an entire army of manipulated humans, Ra'zac, and even Elves. On those with a strong will, he will usually torture them
endlessly and weaken their minds so that he can destroy the root of their mind and drive them insane, something he enjoys doing. While they are insane, he will tamper with their minds, messing with that particular person's judgement and getting them to willingly join his side. This method is how he and the two Shades under his authority recruited so many soldiers.

Black Magic: Currently, two consciousnesses reside within the body: Frank and Crugan. These two consciousnesses have formed a link which makes them one, but leaves them separate at the same time. Therefore, Crugan technically has two souls. Because of this, Crugan is freely able to use black magic (magic that draws on a source of power other than the user's), and not feel a drawback in his soul. Crugan is an active magic user as well.

Sensory Link: He can create a Sensory Link between two people, which causes both emotions and pain from one to transfer over to the other as well. It is effective both in and out of battle, and he can place the Sensory Link anywhere on their bodies, sometimes making it difficult for them to even realize what is going on. The Sensory Link looks like a black circle, with a smaller circle on both the left and right side of the bigger circle. This is a physical display of the Link between the two people. However, if one finds the Sensory Link, they can easily cut it off by one of two ways. One way takes proper knowledge of the seal itself, and it is when someone makes a small incision along the circle, which cuts off the flow. The other way to disable it is for both of the victims to access each other's minds (able to be done effortlessly for them since they are linked), and simultaneously cut off access to the other's mind, severing the connection. The latter solution takes more preparation, but the former takes proper knowledge of the seal itself. Also, they both have to find where the seal is located in order for them to proceed with cutting it off.

The Seal runs off of Crugan's magical energy, and he can hold the seal for an average of about ten minutes while occasionally shooting off a spell. In a difficult fight, he can hold the Seal for five minutes. When it runs out, Crugan cannot use it again for several hours.

Black Matter: He can exert a form of demonic matter form his body that can drain the energy of someone to death, but while the matter is impossible to dispose of (but Crugan can call if off) once it leaches onto a body. It is very slow at moving, and isn't an effective battle technique at all, meant for a surprise attack. It also cannot travel outside of a fifty-foot radius from Crugan.

Enhancement Seals: He has three seals on his body. Once on his left hand, one on his right, and one on his chest. The one on his left hand deals with speed, and once released, he can move at a speed quick enough to break the sound barrier, but this physically drains him. The one on his right hand deals with strength, and once released, he can pick up a fully-grown dragon with ease, but his energy is drained while in this form. The one on his chest deals with endurance, and when released, he can drop from steep inclines such seventy feet without any injuries, but this drains him mentally. He can release any seal at any time, and seal it back when he is done. He has yet to release all three at once, but is more than capable of doing so.

Race: It's unsure what he was before he was taken over, but right now he is a demon in a body that looks like a human. The Demon itself has no physical manifestation however because it has been living as a spirit for many eons.

Hair: He has wavy, midnight black hair.

Eyes: Demonic and red. His eye color was changed when he was possessed.

Home City: Jillvia, a city in some distant, forgotten land.

Parents: He forgot them when he was possessed.

Siblings: He forgot them when he was possessed.

Personality: Crugan is the most vile, calculative, and overall, evil of the trio of Shades. He has extreme patience, and is prepared to wait for however long it may take in his quest to takeover the world. He believes that all humans, Elves, dragons, dwarves, and Urgals are pathetic and useless, which is what led him to Alagaesia. When he was Frank, he was the one being manipulated. Now, as Crugan, he is the manipulator. He enjoys torture when he can't get the information he wants by simply asking. He cares little for the humans and Elves that work under him, and even though he allows them to work in his army, they will always work for him, and never be free for as long as they live. They die? Then their children take up the mantle, no matter how young or old they are. He believes that Alagaesia is just another weak obstacle in his path to conquering the world, and he won't stop until everything is his. However, he isn't greedy enough to not be willing to share leading the world, and is always looking for another, equally frightening and powerful man to help him in his quest. Ra'zac, Shades, and other miscellaneous beings are what he is interested in, as long as they are powerful of course. He enjoys having things under his control, and eventually, he wants the whole world to be in his hand, leaving him able to crush it if need be. He cares for his strong subordinates, and gives them higher ranking positions in his army. However, he dislikes Elves, humans, and dragons mostly with a deep passion, and no matter how strong an Elf, dragon, or human is, he won't let them ascend past the status of common foot-soldier. Some say that the demon, Crugan, had a run in with those races millennium ago, but it is actually because of how all three of those races think that they have the right to be proud of themselves.

History: Crugan wasn't always in a human body. Actually, a man named Frank used to be the owner of that body, and he was a man who was always pushed around by those older and bigger than him. Pushed around as in getting beat up, brutally assaulted, and even robbed from. It started when he was of the small age of eight, and ended when he was an adult at age twenty-three. When he turned twenty-two, he found a loose scrap of paper in a book he was reading. It said, "Demolish your enemies. Speak the words 'Du, Ra, Vir, Bi' in privacy, and you will be granted power beyond your wildest dreams. DO NOW SHOW THIS NOTE TO ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF." No one knows who put that scrap of paper there, but Frank heeded it's words and slipped the note into his pocket. That night, at his house, alone, he spoke the divine words, and this was beyond simply calling the spirits through the method of sorcery. This was an incantation that accessed the Divine Vault of dangerous souls, a Vault that should never have been discovered. But it was.

That night, extreme power surged through Frank. Ripples surged around him as his power doubled, tripled, grew beyond what anyone could ever imagine in the city he grew up in. Suddenly, he found himself deep inside himself, in his own consciousness. Standing in front of him was a black silhouette. It spoke, "Do you wish to accept the power I bring to you, and bathe your enemies in a bath of their own blood?"

"Yes!" Frank shouted unwaveringly.

The silhouette smiled, a deep, dark smile that stretched for miles on end. "Good!" it shouted, and the process was complete. Frank lay on his living room floor, and he slowly got up. Maniacal laughter escaped his lips, and he shouted, "Crugan, is, BACK!"

At two a.m., he left his house, and began his slaughter. Mother, father, child, dog, it mattered not. He killed all in the entire city, and he moved on, seeking power. He came across two Shades. One's name was Gerand, the other's was Oblete. However, Crugan renamed Gerand as Zar'rac, and Oblete as Freohr. That was when he began building up his army. He found Elves, humans, dragons, and forced them all to bow to him. The many Ra'zac he met; all of them joined him willingly, which pleased him greatly, and he came to appreciate the demonic beings. Their parents, the Lethrblaka, joined him as well.

That was when he began to conquer his homeland of Friore. City after city, him, his Shades, and his army marched onwards, murdering all resisters and recruiting the others. The final battle was in the capital, Tvascan. It was a long siege, but only because the majority of Friore's army was located there, and while they defeated Crugan in numbers, their soldiers had not the skill. The land was conquered.

Him and his two Shades have now relocated to Alagaesia, and his army is approaching as well. Crugan, Zar'rac, and Freohr just wish to examine the land before calling the army to march onto the soil of Alagaesia, and that is when the land's inevitable fate of being conquered shall be set in.

Weapons: He is highly skilled at magic, and other than that, he carries a black longsword, which while quick, is also enchanted to make it unbreakable. One side of the blade is jagged, while the other is straight, leaving either the options of leaving a clean cut of making a jagged gash.

Likes: His army, power, taking over the world step-by-step,

Dislikes: Elves, dragons, humans, resisters.

Weakness/Fear: He has heard of Galbatorix's power, though he mostly considers it an exaggeration, he has slight trepidation for when he fights the king. However, it is only slight, and he knows of Galbatorix's main source of power, the Eldunarya.

Animal Companions: He usually gets around by a large Lethrblaka.

Physical Description: He stands at around 6'6", and is considered pretty tall, and has black hair and red eyes. When talking to Elves, dragons, or humans, his face is generally cold and vile, but while taking to Ra'zac or Shades, his face is more curious and satisfied. He is pretty muscular and has slightly pale skin. He commonly wears a Black cloak with dark gray trimmings, and under his cloak he has armor on. He usually has his hood up, wearing a black mask. His sword is sheathed under his cloak, on his left hip. And of course, he has the three Enhancement seals, with one on his left hand, one on his right, and one on his chest.

Dreams for the Future: To takeover the world and have all Elves, dragons, and humans under his command.

Reasons for Dreams: He enjoys power, and hates the above-mentioned races with a deep passion. He wants the entire world in his hand, so to speak.

OOC: I have placed restrictions on each skill, but let me know if I need more. Also, fill free to ask for information about his skills, if confused. I didn't really explain the Sensory Link too well. :wink:

@Dark: That's what I'm here for, lol. Thanks.

@DS4

Hehehe, sorry. Couldn't resist the lure of an army. Thanks.
