About the Character
Character Personality:
Xantrul is very grim, to say the least. He has never been known to even smile. He is stoical, saying very little and speaks only when necessary. He's calm, almost emotionless in every situation, be it in combat, conversation (if you can get him to engage in that), or simple everyday things. He is always thinking and pondering - what he's pondering, though, is anyone's guess. After all, spending such a long time in another dimension has left him with thoughts that aren't shared by many of this universe's denizens.
He is a complete nihilist, and so sees almost no point in things like kindness or justice. The only truth he recognizes is death, which comes to all eventually. As such, he almost always is indifferent even if something horrific is happening in front of him. Nor will he lift a finger to stop it. His only goal and concern is keeping the balance of this universe. Those that disrupt the balance by being too unnaturally powerful, he hunts down and subdues.
Character Appearance:
Xantrul is about 5'10" in height. He is lean and thin, though having a good deal of musculature. He is deathly pale, and had blood-red, emotionless eyes. He looks like he's in his twenties. His hair is short and jet-black, throwing further contrast to his pale skin. He moves with the most efficiency possible and least effort - something that's quite visible. His steps often seem slow and measured, but to him, that's all he needs.
As for clothes, Xantrul wears a plain tan robe-shirt and brown pants. Over everything is a black cloak, with the hood almost always up, with a ruby brooch to pin it in place. He also wears simple brown boots. On his hands are leather metal-studded gloves that help enhance his punches if he has to use martial arts. His Sword of Darkness is sheathed and hanging at his waist, though he can still summon it to his hand if necessary.
Battle Statistics
Character Position: Neutral
Character Abilities:
Interdimensional Skill (Not an ability) - Thanks to Xantrul's time in the other dimension (which is all we can attribute at this point - it's still unknown how he got his powers), he can now use abilities to warp this dimension as well.
Inhuman Strength - His natural bloodline combined with his training have made Xantrul exceptionally strong - strong enough to punch through steel and lift a boulder with ease. Passive.
Inhuman Speed - His natural bloodline and training have also made Xantrul much faster than normal, though he can't use flash-stepping or abilities that require speed. He can move about as fast as a cheetah. Passive.
Demonic Darkness (Not an ability) - Xantrul has learned since he was young how to manipulate darkness, and his skills have only improved. While he doesn't use darkness as often these days, thanks to his interdimensional abilities, he's still exceptionally proficient in them.
Accursed Blade - The demonic darkness around the Sword of Darkness have made it accursed for all those Xantrul cuts. The wounds made by the Sword of Darkness cannot be healed magically. They must either heal normally, or a regeneration spell must be used since that only accelerates the natural regeneration of one's body. Passive.
Soul Reaper - When getting hit with the Black Scythe's blade, part of the soul of the target is damaged as well, causing excruciating pain. As such, even a small cut from the Black Scythe is very debilitating from the sheer amount of pain it causes. Passive.
Phantasm of Cruelty - Xantrul's ultimate ability that he uses only when he is up against a particularly troublesome target. The only warning one gets is when his eyes become pitch-black and purple flames begin rapidly expanding from him in a 20 meter radius. Only his target needs to be worried about being caught - Xantrul doesn't believe in collateral damage. If his target(s) are caught within the flames, they are transported to Xantrul's mental world made reality (to any outside onlookers, both Xantrul and his target(s) disappear). In this world, aspects of what his target(s) fear the most take form, though they can't directly interfere. For example, if his target is deathly afraid of spiders, there will be spiders all around, but they won't do a thing to them. If their fear is death, the world will take the aspect of what they fear most in death, be it the horror or simply the darkness that surrounds them. In reality, this world is literally made to unsettle his targets to make killing them easier. This ability lasts the entire fight and can only be used once per thread if successful. If it misses, three post cooldown. However, there is a loophole - if his target(s) can overcome their fear while being caught in Phantasm of Cruelty.
Character Weapons:
Black Scythe - One of Xantrul's two weapons. A scythe with a large black blade, it was created from whatever dimension Xantrul had come from. Not even light reflects off the blade, giving the feeling as though the very void itself is the blade. The head of the handle is slightly bent, allowing it to 'hook' better. It has a long spike on the very tip of the staff and at the handle as a pommel, allowing Xantrul to use both ends to bash or impale the opponent if the blade can;t reach well. It looks simple enough, but there are faint curves on the handle that slightly resemble bone. Although not a practical weapon, Xantrul has made it work very well for him. It also has a special enchantment on it - Soul Reaper.
Sword of Darkness - Xantrul's former primary weapon. It was created from minerals native only to his former homeworld Nathrezim, which is now lost and forgotten. It is in the shape of a European longsword, with a crimson blade. Set in its guard is a ruby orb. The guard itself is a deep shade of purple, carved with designs of demons and beasts. Dark magic wisps and curls around the whole length. About four feet in length, it is extremely long and heavy, and hence hard to use, but again, Xantrul has found a way to make it work thanks to his inhuman strength and skill. It also has a special enchantment - Accursed Blade.
Character Summons (Optional field – no canon summons allowed – maximum of 2 allowed and maximum of 2 abilities each allowed):
N/A for now.
Character Racial Ability:
Life Force Sense - Thanks to his half-vampire heritage, he can sense the life force carried in the blood of living beings. As such, even those that are invisible he can detect. The sensing works as a sort of six-sense for him. It doesn't work if their life force is also disguised, however. Passive.
Character Strengths:
Exceptionally powerful, Xantrul holds a great deal of command over both darkness and interdimensional energies.
Character Weaknesses:
For Xantrul, nothing exists but death - he can no longer comprehend concepts like friendship, love, or hope.
Character History:
Xantrul was born on the demon world of Nathrezim to a vampire mother and a demon father. He was a prince, considering said parents were powerful rulers, and hence was trained hard in magic and swordsmanship, as well as hand-to-hand, politics, and such like - all the tools one needs to be able to rule. However, soon after, an invading army had broken into the palace and slaughtered his parents. Xantrul only survived by being smuggled out by his servants and going into hiding.
His older brother, who, while he learned what Xantrul did as well, was lacking in morals. HE gathered a new army and swore to take over the universe for his own power. Xantrul decided to stop him, gathering a small group of powerful individuals, who became his comrades. They had fought, and in the process, all but one of them died - Shaolong Li. Xantrul managed to kill his brother, but the darkness residing in his brother burst forth, and possessed him, turning him into a living incarnation of darkness, filled with nothing but thoughts of destruction.
His remaining companion, Shaolong, spent years upon years, defying Xantrul however he could. Eventually, he managed to defeat Xantrul by sacrificing his own soul and rupturing Xantrul's own. Both of them died, with only one of Shaolong's apprentices remaining as a survivor: Kell Chan. With that, the two of them perished, and it all seemed to be over.
However, more then two millenia later, as the interdimensional rifts were opening, Xantrul had returned. Or perhaps he had been back even before then? No one knows. Who can say what he had done in that other dimension or what it held? Xantrul was supposed to be dead, yet he came back - apparently stronger than ever. Now he simply wanders the universe, keeping the balance in this dimension, and delivering the one truth to all those who disrupt it: Death.

Character Abilities:
Interdimensional Skill (Not an ability) - Thanks to Xantrul's time in the other dimension (which is all we can attribute at this point - it's still unknown how he got his powers), he can now use abilities to warp this dimension as well.
- Weapon Telekinesis - Xantrul has permanently altered the 'dimension' around his Black Scythe and Sword of Darkness. As such, he can move and manipulate them as his mind wills. This only works with his own weapons - he can't do this with anything else mainly because he hasn't made any dimension-warping enchantments on anything else. Passive.
- Dimensional Warping - With his command of manipulating dimensions, Xantrul can either teleport himself or teleport his weapons a short distance. One post cooldown.
- Dimensional Reinforcement - Changing the structure of his skin and body, Xantrul can render himself utterly invulnerable for a period of three seconds. Any more and his body won't be able to move anymore, nor can he even think. Great for defense. Three post cooldown.
- Magic Redirecting - Xantrul can manipulate the energy of magical attacks and as such, can redirect them and send them straight back at the caster. Whether Xantrul adds his personal demonic darkness to the spell is his own choice. Three post cooldown.
- Gravity Defiance - By manipulating the laws of this dimension, Xantrul can affect his own gravity in any way he wants - which means he can fly without any problems. Passive.
- Mind Break - Xantrul can drudge up a person's greatest trauma and force them to relive it in their minds. Xantrul has to maintain eye contact, and there is a pressure on their minds that lasts for a little bit (one post) before it takes effect. He can be disrupted from his search during this time. The effectiveness of this technique varies, depending ont he person and the trauma. It won't do much to people with small traumas and have already gotten over it, for instance. Xantrul has no need to channel the spell, and as such, while his opponent is rendered helpless (maybe), he can freely move. Three post cooldown.
Inhuman Strength - His natural bloodline combined with his training have made Xantrul exceptionally strong - strong enough to punch through steel and lift a boulder with ease. Passive.
Inhuman Speed - His natural bloodline and training have also made Xantrul much faster than normal, though he can't use flash-stepping or abilities that require speed. He can move about as fast as a cheetah. Passive.
Demonic Darkness (Not an ability) - Xantrul has learned since he was young how to manipulate darkness, and his skills have only improved. While he doesn't use darkness as often these days, thanks to his interdimensional abilities, he's still exceptionally proficient in them.
- Oblivion - Xantrul fires off about seven beams of darkness that have a good amount of tracking ability. Each beam is moderately powerful. Xantrul can either aim that all at one target or at multiple targets. They're hard to dodge because of their homing capabilities, but they can still be blocked. They'll fly straight toward their target so they can be tricked into hitting a barrier or another object. Xantrul has no control over their trajectory. Damage from Oblivion can't be healed magically, making this a dangerous attack. Three post cooldown.
- Seal of the Shadow Star - Xantrul marks a target with a glow purple pentagonal star with a touch of either himself or his weapons. One who has been marked by this will experience weakness in both physical and magical forms - in short, their stats get cut down by a half. Two posts until it fades away, three post cooldown.
- Dark Barrier - Creates a barrier of darkness that covers the area he desires - most likely somewhere around him. Strong enough to block moderately powerful attacks. Three post cooldown.
Accursed Blade - The demonic darkness around the Sword of Darkness have made it accursed for all those Xantrul cuts. The wounds made by the Sword of Darkness cannot be healed magically. They must either heal normally, or a regeneration spell must be used since that only accelerates the natural regeneration of one's body. Passive.
Soul Reaper - When getting hit with the Black Scythe's blade, part of the soul of the target is damaged as well, causing excruciating pain. As such, even a small cut from the Black Scythe is very debilitating from the sheer amount of pain it causes. Passive.
Phantasm of Cruelty - Xantrul's ultimate ability that he uses only when he is up against a particularly troublesome target. The only warning one gets is when his eyes become pitch-black and purple flames begin rapidly expanding from him in a 20 meter radius. Only his target needs to be worried about being caught - Xantrul doesn't believe in collateral damage. If his target(s) are caught within the flames, they are transported to Xantrul's mental world made reality (to any outside onlookers, both Xantrul and his target(s) disappear). In this world, aspects of what his target(s) fear the most take form, though they can't directly interfere. For example, if his target is deathly afraid of spiders, there will be spiders all around, but they won't do a thing to them. If their fear is death, the world will take the aspect of what they fear most in death, be it the horror or simply the darkness that surrounds them. In reality, this world is literally made to unsettle his targets to make killing them easier. This ability lasts the entire fight and can only be used once per thread if successful. If it misses, three post cooldown. However, there is a loophole - if his target(s) can overcome their fear while being caught in Phantasm of Cruelty.
- Field of the Reaper - If his target(s) can overcome their fears and make it so the world can no longer affect them, the aspects of their fears break apart, revealing the true face of Phantasm of Cruelty - an endless barren field of weapons, lit by an eclipsed blood-red sun. They are the weapons of the people Xantrul has reaped and killed over countless years. The weapons are for the most part swords (they're very popular with powerful beings) with a smattering of lances, axes, and maces. Here, Xantrul is at his strongest - apart from using his Black Scythe and Sword of Darkness, Xantrul can take a weapon and use an ability that was associated with the former wielder of said weapon. However, the weapon crumbles away after usage so he can only use the ability once before having to use another weapon. Only Xantrul can use the weapons - the weapons are intangible to anyone else. The Field of the Reaper can only be dispelled if Xantrul is hurt enough that he can no longer maintain the field. Because it's the true aspect of Cruel Phantasm, it also lasts the entire fight and can only be used once per thread.
