Name: Vladiemeir Soulostes

Alignment: Evil-Chaotic

Class: Reaper

Age: 245

Sex: male

Occupation: Founder and leader of the Tallinn Clan

Description: Time is a cruel device that makes the mortal man suffer, ageing the skin and the bones, making them brittle and weak. Vladiemeir is no exception to this as two hundred years after the explosion of bimtis his body is that of an old man, crippled he spends all his days in a wheelchair. Kept alive only by machines. Nearly balding his hair is solid white, where it remains, eyes sunken into his skull as the parasite tries in vain to repair the broken body...but both are dying. His face is a grotesque mask, the intricate details engraved upon his face for all time, weaving back and forth before descending to his nose...or what is supposed to be a nose. It is in fact just a hollow bit of flesh born from the parasite, almost snakelike slits in appearance. His lips have curled back, almost dry and prone to constant cracking, moisture having to be applied every few minutes by a lackey to stop them from splitting. His legs stopped working decades ago and since then have shrivelled up, nothing but bone. The same for the rest of him. In essence, he is naught but a skeleton, decorated with ornate designs...that are his flesh.

Interests: The revival of his body and the prosperity of his clan


Personality: In his old age and decrepitude he has become far more cynical and harsh in his judgement. Vladiemeir, for the most part died two hundred years ago. But since then the personalities of the two have intertwined, becoming one almost. This had led most to believe that he suffers Bi-polar depression and Schizophrenia...Those who thought this had their bodies ripped to shreds by his faithful hounds. There are times though where he asks to be alone, and during this time, he reflects on his life. What he had done, what he has become and such...but it lasts only for a brief moment before returning to “normal”. In all truth he is unstable.

History: Orphaned at the age of 6 by a group of rogues, his family was slaughtered mercilessly in their sleep. He awoke to find his parents and brother dead in the morning with only a broken knife as the clue to his families’ murderers. Soon after the rest of the town discovered the scene and put Vladiemeir into the slave market. All he could remember is the whipping from the owner when he refused to obey commands, and each time he was sent back to the market. A few months later a traveller came about and recognised the markings on Vladiemeir’s arm, without a doubt he bought the boy for a small price. The traveller made it clear that he would not harm the boy, but wanted to teach him the art of swordsmanship. Soon after that they disappeared from the face of the world for nearly 18 years. After this time he reappeared with a new name “Shadow Demon” wielding his sword in his right arm and the Demonic plate on his left he set out to become a hunter/mercenary with the slogan “Evil for hire”.
During his time in slayer he did many things...killed many people and even got to the point that he was married. But all that is just a hazy fog in his mind, the details unclear and distorted. That day in the deserts of predia among the outcast’s encampment is where his brain cuts off into a dream state. Everything before that is a blur, everything after it for the next fifty years is a blank. When his old bones finally stirred from their resting place he created a clan...the Tallinn clan and since then has used it to further his research into regaining his body. Contract work is the legitimate name...black market research into the technology market is his true intention.


Weapons:
In the years that he has been in predia since his apparent “Death” his weapons lay scattered around, some in museums others held by the hands of some of predia’s dangerous criminal minds and insane fighters...But here is a list of them.
"Chaos", this giant great sword greatly resembles that of a demonic scimitar due to the parasitic growth engulfing the blade and renewing it. Along the back of the blade runs several rows of spines, used for tearing armour and weapons to pieces. The blade its self has lost none of its sharpness and is extremely sharp. Whenever this sword injures someone, the blood is absorbed and transferred to the user, making them stronger and increasing life expectancy.

"Defiance" Vladiemeir’s other great sword has also been corrupted by the parasite causing the blade to split down the middle down to the hilt. Each blade has several rows of tiny serrated teeth increasing the damage that is done by tearing the armour off then the flesh. As with chaos the sword is also vamperic.

"Safrin" once his fathers mighty glaive it no longer is the once proud weapon it was. Taken over by the parasite, the growths have spouted numerous blades at the tips including several small spines across the shaft of the weapon. It holds all the traits of the previous weapons, but there is still one secret to unlock before it is truly complete.

Feats/Notes: Being effectively an old man the slightest knock could kill him, nanotechnology is rejected by his body due tot he strong presence of Sailokar, but some research into a specific individual has given some interesting results...
Another note on Vlad is the strong link between his spirit and that of the spirit of destruction, hence the name “Demon”. This could be due to the slaughter of his family and the rage that is constantly inside of him due to this fact, and because of this his weapon is also imbued with the power of destruction. This only appears when Vlad is angered or annoyed and can lead to disastrous consequences. But that was in the past, now the only thing that gives him power is his conviction to live, to regain what he had lost. Since the joining of the two he has become erratic, almost obsessive on some things leading to a dangerous amount of attention being payed to certain things.
