PERSONAL DETAILS

DESCRIPTION:
"The flesh is fleeting, but the soul remains eternal." - From the journal of Leonello

The Corpsetaker is not an individual that can be easily described, solely because he as an individual is in a constant state of metamorphosis. In fact that more then anything can be used to describe him and his current orthodox shape. As with most individuals, Leo is greater then the sum of his parts and while we can describe his physical characteristics, that does not tell us much about the man that lies there in.

In his current incarnation Leonello is  a powerfully built middle aged man whos hair is already in the process of going grey. Other then that though, his locks which are long and wavy, are the perfect picture of health. Moving down, past his forehead, already lined with the marks of concentration, you come to his dark and intense eyes. They seem almost permantly shadowed do to his powerful brow, and while he often smiles those smiles never seem to reach those forbidding eyes.

PERSONALITY:
"I am but a ghost." - From the journal of Leonello

DEMON PERSONALITY:
"At a Cross Roads we Met, and with my soul did I barter." - From the Journal of Leonello

HISTORY:
A 350 word description of how your character’s come up to this point. Ritualists usually fashion a spiritual connection with Inferis through premonitions and dreams usually caused by trauma – in dark times they look to something exists, a dark corner of their mind. Then it fights back.

FACTION:
Where do their loyalties lie? Most Ritualists are freelance but cults have been formed.

SKILLS:
The Original Mad Scientist: - History is dotted with people who's madness was equal to their scientific genius, but before Frankenstein and those "doctors" that worked under Hitler there was Leonello. With a drive only seen in men that no longer have anything to lose he threw him self into his research, trying and failing to devise a way to bring true life back to the dead. But from this Leon has gained a host of scientific and medical skills that make him a true master of his fields of scientific research. From biology and robotics, to chemistry Leonello has forgotten more about his subject matter then anyone alive or dead knows. So to sum this up, his is the foremost expert of reanimation technology and its uses, as well as being one hell of a plastic surgeon.

Dancing, Like a Sir: Leonello is a fantastic classical and ballroom dancer in any and every sense no matter what body he happens to inhabit at the time. To him it is much like riding a bike, and one never truly forgets the grace and balance one must have in order to be skilled in such a way.

The Spirit in the Machine: Thanks to his years of study and experimentation, Leonello(Or one of his incarnations at least) is widely considered the father of biotechnology and as such knows more about grafting and combining living and none living things together then any other individual living or dead.

REALLY Old Money: Being around for centuries allows an individual to amass assets otherwise unthinkable. Thanks to his foresight, ingenuity and ability to read the various markets of the world Leon is worth more then his weight in gold. He and his family of servitors control substantial resources that go well beyond cold hard cash. From demonic artifacts, to lost books and knowledge and the Lost Nazi treasure trove... There is nothing they ether don't have or can't get their hands on.

DEMON SKILLS:
Enter a list of three or more skills your character possesses when they’re possessed by their bonded demon. Delete if your character hasn’t yet bonded with a demon. Try and match the amount of skills and weaknesses you have to a rough extent so your character isn't without a sense of balance.

WEAKNESSES:
Bound by Bone:  While Effectively immortal, Leonello's spirit is still bound to this earth by his bones(Or what remains of them). If his original resting place is found, and if his body is exhumed then salted and burned his soul will lose its grasp on the material plane and be caste to the outer worlds where it rightfully belongs.  

Sealed in Blood: The blood of his descendants is holds power over him. Any individual of his original family line is immune to his possession unless they invite him into their body. This also holds true for anyone that has slain his descendants as the mystical protection transfers from victim to murderer.

Disquiet: So marked is the Corpsetakers soul, that even mundane humans can feel his dark and foreboding presence. This means in short, that being around Leonello is at first a unsettling experience often causing those about him to put up their gaurd and act more paranoid then they otherwise would. This does not mean they can tell whats causing these feelings of dread and despair but an insightful individual could after a time see the connection between these feelings and his presence. After a time in his company these feelings dissipate , but that would take a good long while in each others company.

Weight of Sin: Sleep is not something that Leon enjoys much less seeks out for during those times he is cursed to rewatch those scenes that have caused his soul to turn from the light. Time after time he watches his failures, his murders and all those things that have started to weigh him down. Due to this he does not rest nearly so well as he would otherwise which in and of its self causes various problems.

Old Habits Never Truly Die: Being a man older then most, Leonello's language usage and mannerisms often set him apart from those about him for various reasons. Along with that, he at times has a hard time grasping modern social constraints and has been slapped more then once for treating women poorly.


COLOURS:
List and colour appropriately an example of your character’s speech. This should be recognised as “your” character’s speech. If they speak multiple languages, or possess different forms (i.e. demon and mortal), then feel free to colour them differently. Also, if it’s a hex code you use, give us them – otherwise, just the colour in brackets. Remember to include this in your signature!

TRIVIA:

- Is in possesion of the lost Nazi treasure and art work... Meaning he owns about 20% of the total art in Europe.
