[Valdain Ambrose Leventis] [Power Set] [Demi-God|Arachne] [Hybrid Physiology] The ‘Scheming Butcher.’‘The Bloodied Widow’. ‘Archon Of Secrets’. Valdain Leventis will go by many names, but none seem to explain just what he truly is. Sharing the blood of an Arachne tainted , or rather empowered by that of a Deity. Forged into bonds of blood they forged a ‘Divine Spawn’. A being blessed with strength beyond mortal men, and yet also surpassing those of similar kind. Being more physically capable than entire armies of his kin alone. Superior intellect however aids him to focus this strength elsewhere. While few in the universe were left to actually oppose him fully. His visage is divine by nature. Appealing to any that dared to look upon it, but for those that worship his mother they’d see only a writhing cocoon oozing a toxic flame like liquid affixed upon golden webs. Immune to most mortal diseases, but what affects the divine would surely bring him to his knees. Yet because of his station as a Demi God he no longer ages, or at least the process has slowed down significantly. While most wounds are healed by his naturally occuring ability to heal wounds of a minor degree.
[Destructive Countenance] Hiding beneath the veil of humanity lies the true form of the hybrid Arachne. A being that was more spider than man. Fearsome, and horrid it remains hidden from all. Something that ordinary people will never be able to set their eyes upon. However when one looks into his eyes, or attempts to peer past the veil of the enchantment cast upon him they'll be met with destruction. Manifesting itself in various forms this destruction will befall all who come into contact with the true horror of his visage.
Inner World Construct: Within his body exists a sealed space that solely nurtures, and protects a world all its own. This world acts as the "Heart" of Valdain , and the true self of his host exists there. Within this world the being he replaced seems to live among a fully evolved species of insectoids that were originally supposed to act as the personal army of Valdain himself. They were brought into existence by his Arachne Bloodline, and seem to possess a hive-mind of some sort. Obeying only a few queens that exist within their nest, and Valdain himself. They see him as a God of sorts, and will do as he pleases on a moments notice. These creatures have no true name at the moment, but have taken to being called "Thriae". Many have no personal names, and respond only to their titles. In times of need Valdain can summon them forth at the cost of also allowing the true self of his host out as well. It is also fair to note that the Inner world of Valdain seems to be an ever expanding desert that keeps on expanding itself for who knows how long. Small traces of villages, and towns can be spotted burning in the distance but can never be reached.
[Enderic Force Manipulation] As the main ability of his host, Valdain has found that is also the most useful. Through it he seems to have truly earned the title of "Archon". Being able to freely manipulate a force that has no true form. It simply exists within his shadow, and awaits any chance to consume magic it is given. The force seems to be sentient, but lacks any form of intelligence. Instead it simply seeks to wipe out all forms of magic in the universe. Valdain came to discover this power as it prevented him from learning magic at all. In the place of this he was instead able to negate, absorb, and reflect the spells of others through an overwhelming power of causality. This special form of "Causality" normally manifests by Valdain utilizing his shadow, or soul in order to funnel it into a highly destructive energy that tears apart the space around it to do damage. Normally ripping objects, and inorganic matter apart in the process. Magic that comes into contact with this force will be dispelled as it generates a negating field upon coming into existence. Divine Magic isn't negated, but simply downgraded into less powerful versions of its original form.
[Silk Generation] An offshoot of the Organic generation, and the area he actually excels in. A given considering that Arachne are originally arachnides in the first place. While not his true form he can generate silk that possesses the durability of mythic metal Mithril from his fingertips. He has also been seen generating it from other places, but he primarily shapes it into various forms using his hands as if to fool the foe into thinking that was his limit. The silk itself can be used to bind foes, or sense them as Valdain can feel even the slightest tug as the silk is woven from the power within his origin core. By doing so he can cast auras of silk around himself, or even generate cocoons of it for his own personal use.
|Passives|
Mystic Rending: Without notice, or intention Valdain will cause the enchantments on items or weapons to unravel at his touch. Often times making them completely useless for their intended purposes. However any weapon, or item that is considered to be divine are unaffected by this in any way. They will continue to press on even at his touch, but will actively reject him as a result. This prevents Valdain from wielding anything that isn't a Divine Vessel, but also forces him to earn the trust of said vessels before even thinking of utilizing them.
[Drone Pheromones] The combination, or at least the advanced form of two other naturally occurring abilities of his species. First being the ability to release pheromones that control, or directly influence those of similar species to him. While the second is the more natural sway his divine appearance has over those that are sexually attracted to him. Because of these two combining to become one he now passively emits sweet, and highly addictive pheromones that lure those of weak will to be ensnared by his command.[Primarily meant for npcs, but can also be used on player characters with discussed permission beforehand.]
Ender Manifestation: To those that peer passed the veil of his humanoid form they'll find a creature that is quite the opposite of divine. The so called "Butcher" of the divine is a beast like no other. This true self will automatically harm those that look into his mind via telepathy, and other abilities that resemble it by applying a painful backlash. So long as they peek at his true form they'll find that their organs will have the potential to rupture one by one. Their flesh will become corrupt, and develop a black rash that withers them away. All because they saw what they shouldn't have. But what exactly could that be?
Archon Embodiment[Secrets]: As the Archon of Secrets, Valdain is actually empowered by the existence of secrets. Those that keep, and protect secrets of any kind seem to fuel his powers to a certain degree. This power seems to stem from the fact that he has claimed the title of "Archon", and became a being that represents this concept alone. Nobody aside from he understands how it exactly works, but it has been stated that so long as secrets themselves exist then he will never cease to exist beside them. Even Valdain hasn't come to terms with what that means if he should die though. Would his vessel continue on without him as a new being, or would he follow along to keep living? Either way he can tell when a person is keeping a secret, but can't determine if they lie. Yet the truth alone seems to weaken him. Through such an influence he can be rendered weak, and frail before his foes. To what degree has yet to be discovered though.
