Skills/Powers//Magic:
- The Trickster's Veil - Az is capable of creating realistic illusions. These illusions are only limited by the amount of mana Az puts into them. They can be simple auditory or visual illusions all the way to tactile, auditory and visual illusions. These illusions can also have an effect on the mind, causing confusion, disorientation, and certain sensations, such as pain. Despite some of the illusions they create being tactile, Az can not use them to cause physical harm. As such, a tactile illusion of a swinging sword will just phase through a target, causing no physical harm. That said, Az can still cause the sensation of pain with the illusion.
- Healing - Despite coming from the darkness of Hell, Az originally hails from the Heavens. So, it is really no surprise that they are capable of some degree of healing magics. That said, Az is no expert at healing. As such, they are limited to healing relatively minor wounds at the cost of Az's own mana. Simply put, if the damage does not include the severing of a limb, or certain fatal injuries, they might be able to heal it with enough of their mana. This healing magic can be used on both themselves and others.
- Enhanced Body - Due to Az faking their own death, they can't draw on their theoretical power limit when possessing a body. As such, their natural physical abilities and reaction speed can not be transferred over as long as they wish to remain secret. As such, Az uses strategically placed magic symbols, carved into the flesh, to enhance the body they possesses. Az enhances it to be greater than a normal human and similar to some supernatural creatures. That said, there are beings on the mortal plane that can easily overpower them.
- "Immortal Body" - Using their magic, Az is capable of keeping the body they possess from aging. Thus they keep the body in the state Az obtained it, preventing it from decaying. Again, due to their situation, this is not passive, and thus they must reapply the magic every few years.
- Immortal Soul - As Az is only possessing a body, if that body is rendered unusable, they can simple leave it and possess a new body. If there is no new body around for possessing, Az could theoretically possess an animal or object until a suitable mortal body can be located. Therefore, to kill Az, you would either need to kill their soul, or kill him within their real body in Hell.
- True Sight - Az is a master of illusions and a Prince of Hell. These two factors come together nicely, granting Az true sight. This allows them to see through illusions, making them nearly immune to magic trickery through illusions. Az is also capable of seeing a mortal's soul, and as such, judging them and in some cases, allow them to predict how they would react.
- Hell-Fire Manipulation - Az is capable of using their mana to create and manipulate hell-fire to an expert degree. They can shape them as projectiles, launching them at enemies. Az can also create a burst of hell-fire at a location. They can shape it into weapons and objects. Really, the only limit is their imagination and mana.
- The Az'goxaak's Defense - A form of defensive magic employed by Az. They surround themselves and those within three feet of him with a magic field. This magic force field is highly resistant to both magic and physical attacks. However, Az can not attack from within it, which is part of why it is such a strong defensive magic. The toll this magic has on Az is quite heavy, and it requires a great level of focus to maintain.
- Banishment - Simply put, Az can banish lesser dezians of Hell back into its depths.
- Az'goxaak's Wrath - Perhaps the most powerful magic Az is capable of mustering given their current situation. This magic is pure destruction through raw power. It takes a while to cast, and requires focus. Az must focus on his mana, thoughts and emotions while embracing their infernal legacy. Embracing hate, anger and other negative emotions. Once everything is ready and focused, Az can release the magic. It appears as an orb of impossibly dark black energy, with red lightning arching around it. When the orb makes contact with anything, it explodes, engulfing a 20 foot radius area in a massive explosion. This explosion destroys just about anything. The shockwave from the explosion travels outward causing more damage that decreases as it travels further from the explosion. Once the explosion stops, the area it engulfed would be burning with Hell-fire. If Az was not restricted by his situation, this magic could be far more powerful.
- Skillful Fighter - Despite Az falling more into the role of a trickster who is reliant on magic, Az's capability when fighting with classical weapons is not to be overlooked. They were originally a warrior for the Heavens after all. So, while Az is no master with arms, they are still fairly proficient with them.
Equipment:
- The armour in the image
- Coin Purse with a modest amount of gold
- A longsword
- A set of throwing knives
- A journal kept by the original soul of their new body
- Potions and antidotes
- A locket belonging to the original soul of their new body
- Other supplies an adventurer would have
Personality: Az is perhaps the chillest Prince of Hell one can meet, with seemingly not a worry in the world. While all the others are all about plunging the world into whatever the hell they want to do, Az just wants to live in simple peace and quiet. They are extremely light hearted, and those who are lucky enough to get to know them know that they love to make jokes and acts a bit like a benevolent trickster. Az does however have a serious side, and their serious side is seriously scary. Only when Az gets seriously pissed is it believable that they are a Prince of Hell, as their demonic nature becomes more visible, the demonic nature that Az has struggled throughout their time on the mortal plane to suppress.
Moral Alignment: Neutral Chaotic
Biography:The story of the Forgotten Prince, Az'goxaak, begins in the Heavens. Originally, Az'goxaak went by a different name and served the forces of the Heavens. Their original name was Asteroth and he served as a well known warrior for the goddess Aurora. They fought, and grew frustrated with the Heavens. Asteroth sought freedom, they sought to live a life where he could work towards their own desires, and not the wills of the Heavens. This lead to them turning their back on the Heavens, and falling of their own will.
When they fell, Az began their life in Hell, and unknown to Az, would begin the most miserable time of their life. Arriving in Hell, they began to serve Achlysa, and would eventually become known as Az'goxaak as he became a Prince of Hell. Az quickly moved their way up the hierarchy of Princes, reaching the upper echelons due to the nature of their existence. That said, they never cared for power and climbing the hierarchy, all they cared about was living a life for themselves. Az quickly found that Hell was much worse for their dream then the Heavens. They still served a deity, and had to worry about other Princes wanting to kill them, fight them, or otherwise overthrow their position.
As such, Az made a decision. If the Heavens or Hell could not give them the freedom they desired, then, they would have to turn to Lonriel. Of course, they couldn't just leave their service of Achlysa without any reprocutions and settle down in the mortal plane. Unless Az could make everyone who knew about them believe they were dead. And with that thought, a plan came together in Az's mind.
This plan, at its most simplistic, was to possess a mortal body at the end of their life, spread rumours of a Prince of Hell on the mortal plane undergoing preparations to bring an army from Hell to Lorniel. A Prince who could only be defeated by a mortal hero with a special sword, in reality, Az's sword from the time they fought for the Heavens. Of course, Az would not die, instead they would use their magic to make it appear as if they did, and then retire away from everything. To Az's surprise, their plan seemed to work, and only after a few hundred years of looking over their shoulder was Az ready to finally relax and settle on the shores of an isolated lake.
Eventually, their quiet life on the lake came under threat. A new mortal race appeared, and started to settle around their lake. Az decided that instead of risking interaction, they would just leave. After leaving, they searched for a new place to settle down. They found it in the form of a lake surrounded by forest. Determined to keep this place to themselves, Az shrouded the surrounding forest in a powerful and permanent illusionary mist.
As time passed, the occasional person would stubble upon the lake, who they'd welcome more often than not, giving them some aid if they required it along with something to eat and a place to sleep for a night, but no one was able to find the lake twice, and thus Az was able to live in peace. It was this that helped build a legend around them, as the Eternal Hermit of the Misty Forest, which happens to be located in the current Kingdom of Duivene. Though Az didn’t live in complete isolation of the world. They would occasionally leave the lake to go obtain information on the greater world via books. Over the years, his personal collection of books grew, even as many were lost to the rest of the world. As such, he was forced to constantly rebuild his home, to make room for his collection.
Recently, Az left his lake once again, to obtain more knowledge of the world, and boy did he. He went from meeting with a heroic princess, who tired to kill him. This would become a pattern. Az would then go on to encounter an artificial angel and the knight who was protecting her, and once again, someone tried to kill him. Before the attempted murder by the knight, an unknown god also met with Az, and really rubbed Az the wrong way. After all that, Az met with some less than savory characters, who to be far, only attempted to kill Az after he started the fight. But then he went with them to meet with the Archbishops of the Cult of Sin, where he made his intent clear. No longer would he be isolating himself, now he will act for the good of the mortal realm.
Goals: It was to live a peaceful, and simple life, and not have to worry about the politics of Heaven and Hell, but now... its to make sure he can go back to living a peaceful and simple life without worrying about Heaven and Hell.
