Name: The Reaper

Race: Human Undead

Gender: Male

Age: 29 at time of death

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 100 lbs.

Build: Very light build, seeing that much of the flesh that was once there is missing.

Appearance: The Reaper is a zombie with much of his flesh missing, leaving only ripped, shredded pieces of dried blood, flesh, and muscle hanging like tattered rags. The bones have browned slightly and the rest of the body has dirt in various places from when he rose the first time. A little of his facial flesh still remains, but the nightmarish smile is uncovered.

Smell: The Reaper smells extremely awful, the stench of ten years under the ground mixed with dirt and rotting flesh all coming together to make a smell that would make even the strongest stomach churn.

Overview: Class-wise, the Reaper was a noble knight during his life, but has since become a blood-thirsty creature after the man who killed both him and his father.

Personality: The Reaper takes his personality from life, which was a haughty and arrogant personality, due to his rank. He believed that there was no equal to him, and he thought that one day he would rise and take the thrown. Loyalty left him long ago, only to be replaced by greed. The Reaper is intelligent, and perfers to think things through before getting into the hack and slash of combat, and always makes the best choices for his own welfare, even though he is dead. The Reaper will take allies, but they are always temporary, mind you. Lastly, he thrives on killing, and will see his foe to the death. This is partly brought on by his undead state.

History: The wizard that raised the Reaper was a man with many debts owed to the man that killed him, and chose the Reaper as his weapon because it was a factor of guilt. The man's name was Tirrus Gualimate, and gave himself the call name of the Sower.

Profession: At the moment, the Reaper serves Gualimate, but in life was a knight of a high rank.

Weapon: The Reaper carries a steel longsword decorated with a skull on the crosspiece. The weapon is magically strengthened to prevent against dulling and breaking.

Apparel: The Reaper wears normal steel armor. Feet and hands are uncovered. There is a small space through which a spear could be shoved at the waist. Furthermore, the Reaper wears a full helm with throat guards in the front, opposite the neck guard on the back of the torso, both of which to avoid decapitation. There are no magical qualities on the armor. The armor is very loose, due to the fact that he is literally a walking skeleton with tatterers of flesh and muscle.

Weaknesses: Being a zombie, Holy effects are extremly effective, as well as fire. The Reaper is not very agile; he is not willing to break something by moving around to fast, and has gone to the habit that moving fast is bad. Thus, dodging and running are off limits, though he can walk briskly.

Strengths: With the lack of matter, the Reaper is virtually 'immune' to piercing impaling attacks. The Reaper has unhuman strength, the flipside to his non-agility.

Abilities:
Drain Life -- The Reaper may, if grappling an opponent, bite the person and regain a little 'life' towards something. If an arm is broken, a successful bite can restore it. This does not repair the armor.

Create Undead -- The Reaper may bite an already dead foe, and it will rise to mindlessly attack other beings. The new undead would be under my control, but would be unable to dodge, parry, or block, due to the lack of intelligence. My only part in it would be to say where it walks and who it attacks. Extremly simple things can be executed, such as picking up a weapon, but other than that is impossible. There is a limit of one controlled undead at a time. Once a second is created, the first is returned to it's lifelessness. The created undead takes the same weakness to fire and holy. Lastly, created undead move rather slowly, dragging their feet like the stupid bones and flesh they are.

Telekinesis -- The Reaper can move things with his mind, but since his power with this is extremely weak, what he can do with it is very limited. The most he could lift is a knife or dagger. The power could be used to stop arrows, throw little rocks, etc.

Sense Incoming Missile -- The Reaper can sense incoming arrows, and can use his telepathy on any that come close. He is not limited with this, but can only hold them up for so long. This is an ongoing ability, and is treated as 'always on'.
