Welcome to the game; you are Evil Ash
ALIGNMENT: Scum
GENERIC: Special [Rank: 2]
WIN CONDITION: Deadites control the voting (ie, there are more Deadites than non-Deadites, or there are an equal number of Deadites and non-Deadites and the Deadites control the tiebreaker).
BACKGROUND:
In the smoke-strangled hell dimension from which you come, you were a general, perhaps the greatest who ever lived. Vast legions of slavering imps upon armor-plated hellbeasts stood constantly ready to march and kill upon your orders. Under your merciless direction, your armies slaughtered all those who opposed the rule of your master the Pit Lord, and enslaved all those who did not resist. Bloodshed, loathing, and unspeakable agony followed you like a loyal hound; it was the best of times.
Until the day when, just before torching the house of some mystical seer, you cast your eye upon a strange, magical pool. Therein you saw a face that turned even your own blood to ice: your own face, but… different. Hideous. You saw your own cragged and scaly skin, covered in splendid sores and pustules, rendered repugnantly smooth and pale. This being had no horns, no talons, and only the two eyes. From the moment you saw this vile perversion of your own magnificence, you were consumed with the mad desire to slaughter it.
You did your research. You found that this… thing… called itself “Ash,” and inhabited another plane of existence, along with billions of like monstrosities. You slayed the necessary foul beasts to obtain a Big Bad Mofo Sword capable of finishing off this Ash should you ever meet it. You performed the necessary rites and rituals, linking your fate to the fate of your new nemesis. But still you despaired: how were you ever to find him?
And then, a miracle: some unknown force has drawn you into another world - into Ash’s world. And you know that the Ash is nearby. A showdown between you is inevitable. You will find the Ash, and you will destroy it - and you’ll join with those who would wipe out the other monstrosities, in the bargain.
But first, some vital info: There are six members of your little army. The others are the your an Assassin with the rather excessive title of The Prince of Blades; a disembodied Moose Head; a Skanky Vampire Demon; and a pathetic, forgotten peon whose name is irrelevant. In an ironic twist, you are led by a human, a twisted sorcerer played by the most Famous Actor in the picture. You are individuals, but you are collectively bound by a dark magic far beyond the ken of even your leader. This magic propels you all toward a common goal, and allows you to be certain of the loyalty of all six of your fellows (translation: consider it mod-confirmed; there is no Scum traitor in this game).
The same dark magic enforces a rigid hierarchy among you, and you personally rank second only to your human commander. The surviving Deadite with the highest rank is responsible for making decisions for the Deadite collective; if the Deadites should ever wrest the influence needed to break ties away from the wretched humans, that power falls to the highest-ranking living Deadite.
All right, enough talk. Let’s get out there and do some damage. Try not to end up dead. Well, deader than you already are, I guess.
POWERS:
-
You are connected to Ash, and as long as he lives, you cannot be Night killed except by him. Conversely, as long as you live, Ash cannot be Night killed, except by your sword (see below).
-
You carry the Big Bad Mofo Sword, the most lethal weapon ever forged in the fires of your infernal home. You may use this sword to carry out a kill on behalf of the Scum collective, if you are chosen to do so. Please be sure to read the section entitled “About your Kills” on the Scum Board (http://deaditechat.proboards.com [password: thepit]) for more details. Even Ash will die on the blade of your Big Bad Mofo Sword; use it well.
