I'll make a real post later today.
Edit: Unless I fall asleep.
- Name: Polemarchos Draclius
- Gender: Male
- Age: Unknown, but estimated to be 60+ years.
- Race: Dysian (False) Arachnos
- Class: Plague-Herald: Warfare/Nature
- Appearance: Black chitin plates cover bulging, diseased white flesh. Eight legs barely seem to support his huge form, and sharp pedipalps constantly rotate nervously beneath a vaguely humanoid torso. Orange-striped hairs grow across his skin, and his spiderlike abdomen is bloated and secretes noxious slime.
- Deity: Parlat; Dysian god of disease, insects, misfits, and the downtrodden.
- Blessed Weapon: The Jackal's Fang, a great-Khopesh (Horakhti sickle-sword), worked with burning golden runes.
- Blessing: Explosive Strike: Solid hits with the weapon cause an explosion at the point of contact, stunning the target and blasting apart whatever was hit.
- Spells/Abilities:
- Feel No Pain: Draclius' nerves are deadened, making him immune to stunning effects and generally reducing damage taken.
- Pestilent Breath: Countless diseases inhabit Draclius' lungs, and he may expel them as a weapon upon an area in front of him in the form of a toxic cloud. The effects upon his enemies range from nausea to necrosis.
- General's Command: Draclius still remembers the art of strategy in warfare, allowing him to find weaknesses in the enemy ranks and see through their most clever tactics. Minions under his command are more effective.
- Noxious Slime: With a degree of surprising flexibility, Draclius bends his bloated abdomen over his torso, casting forth a disgusting mixture of web and infected blood. Enemies hit with this blob are unable to move as their limbs are stuck to their bodies, and are slowly eaten away by the foul goo.
- Equipment: Draclius wears the gold helmet and bracers of a fallen Theoclean Myrmidon. They are said to have been forged by Hephaestus in the great volcano Incendi, and are surprisingly resilient.
- Backstory: "I am Draclius, Polemarchos of the Xinthian legion. I conquered this place only after [The Old Gods] had forsaken us. I led hundreds of men against many times more, and won the Olympian Temple by merit of strategy and the courage of my troops. I had hoped to find the gods' last retreat in this place, regain their favor - what a fool I was. When I found their Oracles rendered mute, I slew them to send my last message in case the divine could still hear; I was finished with them.
"Then holy Parlat found me. He spoke to me, in his way. No apothecary could reverse the diseases that caused me to change so drastically. At first, my body horrified me, but the power I gained was indisputable. I realized I was truly blessed. Of course, Pyr and his sort rejected what I had become, and to this day they leave us to our devices on this island.
"In truth, we are on the verge of sanctifying this place anew. Returning this temple to its original purpose - it shall be a house of the gods once again. Put down your weapons, and enter freely. Delight in the fact that your deaths will bring Him here with us, in physical form. A new wave of sickness will spread unfettered across Gaios."

It's probably my fault, but not enough people are posting. I'd be okay continuing with just four or five, if you want to just drop the rest.
Also, I'm working on another RP; more of a darker, D&D-type game with some tenuous connections to this one. It would be low-powered (with a progression system), less combat-focused, and ideally involve a small, tight-knit party (6 players max). It would have a similar race list, though I probably would limit the number of beastmen allowed in the party.

Last call for those three; I'm posting tomorrow. Things are moving too slowly.
