Cannot accumulate taint nor benefit from "buying" temporary taint.<br/><br/><strong>BACKGROUNDS:</strong><br/>Resources: 2<br/>Lacky (Side Kick): 3<br/>Training Facility: 5<br/><br/><strong>POWERS:</strong><br/><br/>Psychic Vampire: 4 - This is the Black Tyrant's most feared and potent ability. With but a touch Mateus can decimate another's mental resilience and strengthen himself.  Those who fully succumb will carry out even the most self destructive acts at the Black Tyrant's request.<br/><br/>Telepathy: 1 - Mateus can make mental contact with any being he can see. This power is very wear so far and can only be used to speak mind to mind. If properly trained though it would be possible for him en-spell sentient beings anywhere in the world.<br/><br/>Necromantic Animation: 1 - The Black Queen's ability to animate objects and bring them to life developed differently in Mateus. With just a little preparation he can make the dead  rise and obey his commands.  For many obvious reasons he has not used this power much since coming to Xaviers school.<br/><br/>Mega Apperance (Androgynous): 1 - Mateus is more then just a pretty boy. He was painstakingly sculpted to be an object of everyone desires. His significant appearance based abilities always work without regard to gender or sexual preference.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>POWER STUNTS:</strong><br/><br/>Psychic Vampire (Slave) - Anyone brought to 0 willpower through The Black Tyrant's  psychic vampireism are completely dominated until they regain at least one point.<br/>Telepathy (Mental Conversation) - If Mateus makes mental contact with someone he can converse telepathically.<br/>Mega Apperance (Terrible Beauty) - Mateus' Appearance is so inspiring and imposing that she may substitute it for Charisma in any situation that involves human interaction.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>ADVANTAGES:</strong><br/>Power Potential: 6<br/>Actual Power Level: 4<br/>Power Charge: 4<br/><br/><strong>Power Info and Notes:</strong><br/>Lost health levels from from going without feeding with Psychic Vampire he becomes gaunt and supernaturally ages. Death from loss of health in this fashion manifests as aging past his natural lifespan.<br/><br/><br/>WILLPOWER: 4<br/><br/><strong>MERITS:</strong><br/><br/><strong>FLAWS:</strong><br/>Beacon of the Unholy 2 -  Mateus radiates a palpable evil. Holymen and very devout mortals know instinctivly that there is something horribly wrong with him.<br/><br/>Crones Curse 2 - Health levels lost through not feeding with psychic vampire cause an appearance penalty on a 1 for 1 scale as he ages and decays.<br/><br/>Enemy 2 -  An unknown member of the X men considers Mateus not a person but a growing duplicate of a mass murdering immortal terror. This individual feels that Mateus needs to be destroyed, but wont act without the approval of the other members. At least for now.  I leave it up to the ST to choose which X-Person this will be based on their vision for the story. I will say though that White Queen, Storm, Jean Gray, Wolverine and Nightcrawler all have plenty of reason to hate anything that comes from Selene.<br/><br/>Phobia 1 - Terrified at the thought of growing old and undesired while being unable to rejuvenate. Standard phobia rules when something evokes this fear .(Spend one willpower to approach it for the scene)<br/><br/>HISTORY:<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> I was brought from nothing into this dark existence only a few years ago. It boggles my mind how I can be so young, how I can be practically an infant when I remember everything. No, listen to me. I don't mean my memory is working. I mean I remember everything! I was born from the moon itself. I was here to prey upon humanity when they were still living in caves and fighting with stone tipped spears. I killed every man woman and child on the isle of Pompei, seduced the leader of hell, and made an empire entirely out of illusions.  The greatest accomplishments man has ever made have been ground to dust and forgotten while I have been around to watch. Even that hideous freak Apocalypse cowers at the mention of my name. I am Selene, I am. . . <br/><br/>   . . . No I am not. She made it quite clear that I could never be her, that I was a failed attempt to allow her to affective double her power. I'm just a letdown that might still prove itself useful. To me she is both a mother and a rival. Has she thought of me as her daughter or son for even a moment? This copy can't be too flawed a copy though if Eliphus still found himself humbled in my presence. It wasn't the same sort of shallow lust I see in the eyes of everyone else. He looked at me with a passion that had burned untouched for 2,000 years. He may have promised Selene every mutant that ever died, but he didn't forget to give me a little memento either.<br/><br/>   When the Black Queen left to pursue her ascension as a deity I had a small assignment myself. It should have been simple, yet I failed miserably. Direct opposition from the X-men has a tendency to ruin some of the best plans. Under the disguise of compassion they offered me safe haven and a life of my own. They must think me a fool to forget all the times I remember fighting them before. I know how devious they are. The red haired telepath recognized my psychic imprint easy enough. <br/><br/>   I accepted their offer though. There was no reason not to when their facilities could serve me so well. They don't think I'm aware of their plans. It's so simple I don't understand how they could believe it would allude me. They will shelter me and teach me so that I will see them as my saviors and follow them blindly. After all, if I don't sing to their tune they could wash their hands of me easily and let the hellfire club deal with me as a traitor. I'll use them for now and later I'll make all these young mutants they are brainwashing into slaves of my own. After all, isn't that what Selene would do? </div></div><br/>XP:<br/>Remaining:<br/>Spent:<br/>Spent on:<br/><br/>Freebies 32:<br/>6 spend on power potential<br/>4 spent on actual power level<br/>10 spent on psychic vampire 2 - 4<br/>5 spent on adding Androgynous merit to Mega Appearance<br/>3 spent on telepathy trait: mental conversation<br/>3 spend on mega appearance trait: terrible beauty<br/>1 spend on willpower 3 - 4<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Forbidden One</span></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/images/8/8a/Sorin.jpg)</div></div></div>Name: Valdemar VerSigmundur<br/>Alias: Forbidden One<br/>Player: Pale Enchantress<br/>Chronicle:<br/>Residence: Dorms of Xaviers School<br/>Age:  1257<br/>Date of Birth: September 3rd, 754 A.D<br/>Apparent Age: 20<br/>Height: 6'5<br/>Weight: 260<br/>Hair: White<br/>Eyes: Electric Blue<br/>Nature: Defiler<br/>Demeanor: Vassal<br/>Concept: Frozen Death<br/>Affiliation:<br/>Mentor:<br/><br/>PHYSICAL:<br/>Strength 2<br/>Dexterity 4 (Lithe)<br/>Stamina 3<br/><br/>SOCIAL:<br/>Charisma 3<br/>Manipulation 1<br/>Appearance 2<br/><br/>MENTAL:<br/>Perception 2<br/>Intelligence 1<br/>Wits 4 (Ambushes)<br/><br/>TALENTS: 7<br/>Alertness 2<br/>Dodge 4 ( Cover)<br/>Intuition 1<br/><br/><br/>SKILLS: 11<br/>Animal Ken 1<br/>Melee 4 (Psychic Blade)<br/>Riding 4 (Equestrian)<br/>Survival 2<br/><br/><br/>KNOWLEDGES: 4<br/>History 1<br/>Medicine 3<br/><br/><strong>POWERS: </strong><br/>Invulnerability: 1<br/>Psychic Blast: 3<br/>Power Amplification: 1<br/><br/><strong>POWER STUNTS:</strong><br/>Visceral Blast<br/><br/><strong>ADVANTAGES:</strong><br/>Power Potential 4<br/>Actual Power Level 3<br/>Power Charge 3<br/><br/>Power Info and Notes:<br/><br/>WILLPOWER: 3<br/><br/><strong>MERITS:</strong><br/><br/>Unaging: 2<br/><br/>Loyalty (Black Tyrant): 1<br/><br/><strong>FLAWS:</strong><br/><br/>Vulnerability (Purifying Light/Plasma/Light): -2<br/><br/>Color Blind: -1<br/><br/>Power Traces (Psychic Blast) -Path of Frost: -1<br/><br/><strong>HISTORY:</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> The black bear growled out in pain and anger as the blade was shoved unto it's abdomen and pulled downward. The pale hand of the druid Vilkyr performing the ritual reached into the struggling beast's body cavity. The entrails were ripped from out and thrown onto the braizer. "The savages to the west have a new champion that will lead them here to destroy us and our way of life", he began to explain his visions while cleaning his hands in a basin of water. Valdemar wanted to take each delicate finger and lick it clean. He was a proud young warrior well entrenched in the druids teachings, most of all because of his unspoken love of one in particular. If some christian warchief among the Franks was going to invade than Valdemar knew he must his life on the line to protect his people and his love. <br/>   <br/>   It was months of endless fighting before ther Franks pushed in far enough to attack the city proper. Veldemar rushed to the Irminsul, a sacred site to his people, where he knew he would find Vilkyr. "The Invaders will be here any minute. Come now! I will take you far from here to safty." Vilkyr wouldn't listen though, he said that protecting the Irminsil was worth dying for. Valdemar fought like a beast but it was hopeless. In the heat of battle, as his to the wounds still visited upon him Valdemar finally found the courage to say to his doomed druid. "Know that it was always you I came here to worship. Not the gods."<br/><br/>    Valdemar's story would have ended there if over a thousand years in the future a dark figure called Eli Bard hadn't been delving into the creation of undead. Valdemars animation process went particularly well, though it was considered a failure as he was free willed. He earned his continued existance by swearing loyalty to Bard. Eventually Bard gave Valdemar (now called Forbidden One) to a particularly enticing side project of his mistress Selene's. The Black Tyrant reminds Veldemar vaguely of the druid he failed to protect in his living days. He remained loyal to Mateus even after Mateus sought arylum at Xavier's School. Valdemar himself attends classes there, but  modern life is so different he has considerable trouble adapting.       <br/></div></div><br/>Freebies 14<br/><br/>Merits: 3<br/>Psychic Blast 2 - 3: 5<br/>Stunt (Visceral Blast): 3<br/>Power Potential +1: 2<br/>Willpower 3 - 4: 1
