==================================================
Against arguably my better judgment, I decided to actually unveil a character!
Name: Necrosis
Alias: "The Dark Priest" "Shinigami" "God of Death" "Bastard"
Species/Race: unknown (humanoid)
Eye Color: Pitch Black
Say hello to Necrosis, albeit, this is a Pre-Production sprite done for us by Zane.
Originally found on the Dark Continent of Narapha, Necrosis was revived by the more benevolent beings, his body having been washed ashore as almost nothing but a stump of blood and organs.
Necrosis now repays the people of the continent by defending it's God Spirits from those out to abuse them, as Narapha lacks any true Priests to protect their God Spirits. In his efforts to do so however, he became known as a "God of Death", and now acts solely as such, seemingly existing in multiple places over Laramos, killing those who "disturb the balance".
Amongst his revival, he also ripped out the eye of a soul-absorbing demon, and replaced his own missing left eye with it. This eye (vaguely visible in the picture) can absorb the souls of anyone that looks directly at it (this in itself, is the game's first plot armor).
The 'warped'/curved pyramids that line Necrosis' vest are in reality sheathed weapons. By pulling them free or stabbing a weapon into it, they are sheathed/unsheathed into/from a different plane exclusive to his vest, allowing Necrosis to walk around with hundreds of weapons without weight change. This makes him a hybrid of Dark Element Magic-user type and "Weapon Master" Class (see a future update for class descriptions for Chapter 1). These weapons of course, reverse to their original holds, or the "talon" shaped spikes depending on Sheathed/Unsheathed actions in-universe.
His signature techniques are "Shadow Assault" techniques. As the Third Multiverse's physics vary from our own on a minor degree, some things act entirely different (to some degree, this is caused by the existance of Ether).
In the third multiverse, a being's shadows are as good as a limb, and controlling one's own shadow or another's is as good as controlling the body. Using this as a basis, Necrosis is capable of reverse engineering it, and by throwing a punch with an advantageous lighting, punch his opponent's shadow with his own. Even if he can't reach, his fist will 'hit' his foe's body, and land equivalent damage.
Albeit he favors Shadows, he's not strictly limited to his "Shadow Assault" battle style.
Next Story update will introduce hopefully another character or something :P.
I hope you all enjoy the first previewed character.
