Name: Macabre
Age: almost a year old
Birthday: December 20th
Gender: Technically genderless, is mainly identified by "male" or "it" pronouns.
Species: Dark Magic Golem, Magical Entity
Career: Seeking a purpose.
Appearance Description:
Macabre is an artificial soul made out of dark magic by a powerful sorcerer. He is usually seen in the suit of armor pictured above. Though someone could see through his visor, all they would see is a black void instead of a face. When outside his armor, Macabre appears as a floating black void rimmed in white light with two points of light serving as eyes. He stands at about 7 ft tall.
Personality Description: Macabre is mostly a blank slate at the moment, as he has spent almost a whole year inside his dead master's crypt with only old mystical tomes, piles of bones and dark creatures to keep him company. He has otherwise had no contact with living people beyond crypt robbers (all of which he has killed). He has a very unclear grasp on good and bad, right and wrong, and is very easy to influence right now.
Powers:
Dark Magic: Before he died Macabre's creator gave him knowledge on his own special brand of dark magic. This magic gets its power from Macabre himself, since he is a soul that was created by dark magic. In this way, he acts as his own source of dark magic, with a near limitless supply. However, his master also limited his power by adding the limit that Macabre cannot use any other form of magic, only his special brand of dark magic. This limits him to the spells he currently knows and what they are capable of doing. Can use one spell per post.
-Dark Snake: Macabre summons a large snake made of dark magic, it can slither on the ground, walls and cielings and will pursue targets for two whole posts after the initial summoning post before it dissipates.
-Dark Explosion: Causes an explosion of dark magic directly in front of him, explosion is strong enough to break down normal or heavily bolted doors, but things like armored doors and vaults will take much, much longer. Against such doors there is probably a better way to get past them. The explosion causes concussive force damage.
-Void Sword: Macabre creates a sword made of dark magic, the sword acts like a normal sword. He can only have one active at a time, but can despawn and respawn them each post.
-Void Shield: Creates a shield out of dark magic the size of a human torso. Can protect from all direct forms of attack, does not protect from psychic attacks. Limited only by its relatively small size.
Abyssal Darkness: Macabre is an artificial soul made out of dark magic, sometimes that magic can get out of hand. Should Macabre sustain significant damage, or having lost three limbs, he can choose to let the dark magic within him run wild, causing him to almost mutate into a creature of pure darkness. Each limb lost, including his head, may be replaced with a more physically powerful version, however, he loses the ability to cast magic until he reforms. When he takes this form he sheds his armor, which leaves his weak spot more vulnerable.
-Head: When decapitated he can replace his head with with the body of a large snake. This snake head is capable of reaching up to 6 feet away and is big enough to grab and eat people.
-Arms: When he has lost one or both of his arms Macabre can grow a new one that is twice as strong as he orginally was increasing his strength to be able to lift up to 800 lbs.
Species Abilities:
Biography: About a year ago, a powerful dark sorcerer locked himself away in an old crypt on the island of Monta Carlos. He was being hunted by those who despised dark magic and sought to kill him. He locked himself away in the crypt, hastily producing guards to slow down the hunters. For many days he worked to make one being that would be his ultimate masterpiece, and the one to solidify his legacy. He had nearly completed his project when the hunters finally managed to break through his defences. As he lay dying, with his last breath, he hastily activated his work, Macabre, to awaken and kill the intruders. Macabre's first memories are of him waking to find his father dead on the ground and the intruders burning his fathers work. Macabre proceeded to beat, stab and strangle every last one of them till none remained. Since then he has presided in this crypt, protecting it from crypt robbers and pondering the purpose his master failed to reveal to him.

Species Abilities:
- Macabre has no internal organs or immune system, given his unique nature he does not require food, water or rest and does not even require air. He also does not age, and will last for as long as he is not killed.
- The only way to kill Macabre is to pierce his soul heart which resides in his chest. The brestplate of his armor is thickest here, making it very difficult to breach it from his front or his back. However, cutting off his head or his arms at exposed joints can provide an enemy with an easier time reaching his soul heart. When he uses his Abyssal Darkness form he is forced to shed his armor including his breastplate, leaving him more vulnerable.
- Should Macabre die, the only possible way to bring him back is for someone to gather his armor and perform a ritual from a magical tome in his old master's crypt. The ritual takes several days to complete. If no-one performs the ritual then Macabre remains dead.
- Macabre possesses enormous natural strength and is capable of lifting up to 400 lbs.
- Being a creature born and made of darkness, Macabre is able to see in the dark just as clearly as if it were day.
- Being a creature born of darkness most people are naturally uneasy around him and it can be difficult interacting with others (mainly NPC's).
