What you see here are a bunch of pictures of my OC, Johannes Svartsvard. Here you can see not only his earlier designs and how other artists have decided to draw him, but also a bit how he evolved as time went on. Either way, here is some info about him: Name before death: Niklas Rödrot. Age before death: 23. Class: Death Knight. Species: Undead. He didn't suffer that mutch rot during death, though. Height: 185 cm. Weight: 180 kg due to dense muscles and bones Bio: Niklas, as he was know in life, was the selfcentered and violent son of a wealthy buisnessman. Constantly getting himself into bloody trouble because of his vast ego and short fuse, he was constantly sponging off the funds of his father and making it clear he had no intention of changing his ways. This worked in favor for his father, however, who was in charge of a secret project to create an army of Draugrs, something that would require vile souls. One night, his father set him up to be killed and transformed into what he hoped would be the first succesfull one in a string of failures. Unfortunatley, he only turned out to be a half-succesful prototype, even if he was their most powerful one as of late. Making matters worse, everyone involved in the Draugr Project found themselves killed by unknown attackers shortly after his completed undeath. He would find himself awakend in the ruins of the lab with a set of armor, a massive blade, magical capailities and an attitude and temper far worse than what he ever had in life. The fact that he had lost most of the memories of his past life didn't matter to him as he was now granted far more freedom than before, leading to him traveling all over with horrific results for anything that got in his path. Weaknesses: Light/holy magic. His lack of speed and agility makes him a bad choise against faster and more agile opponents. He's also not very intelligent, so outsmarting him is not sutch a difficult task. He has pretty low stamina and gets tired easily, even when enraged. Despite knowing powerfull spells, he is pretty inexperienced with them and is prone to screwing them up and sometimes even making them backfire. He has had no actual swordsman-training and only copies what he has seen in movies, TV, games and other media. Strenghs: Has inhuman strengh and is strong enough to rip limbs off from humans without greater difficulty and chew through bones with ease (if he can get close enough, that is...). He also posseses some knowledge in dark magic and necromancery. He is also very durable against Physical force (as to be expected with undead), a trait that is further enhanced by his armor and his blade. Personality: Easily angered, cocky, overly selfconfident, not very intelligent as mentioned above, a bit of a glutton, a bit perverted when it comes to women, and also a bit of an megalomaniac. Likes: Santa Claus, women, horses, pigs, wolves, bears, succubi, sharp weapons, riches, raw meat/organs, bones, nighttime, ressurecting enemies as servants, collecting souls. Dislikes: Rats, vampires, paladins, priests, holy ground, being outsmarted, having to do anything that requires mutch thinking or planning (he lets collected spirits do that for him), being ordered by anyone. Some abilities he knows: 1. Raise Skeleton or Zombie = if corpses are nearby, he can raise a few, but only for a limited time. 2. Raise Ghost = If there are no corpses nearby, he simply uses a soul stored in his sword or armor to summon ghosts, but they last even less. 3. Tormented Bolt = uses one of the souls he has stored up in his sword and armor as a shadowy, explosive projectile. The poor soul suffers great pain through this and is sent to the afterlife afterwards. 4. Northern Claw = Johannes grabs his opponent with his unarmored hand and slowly begins to freeze them. 5. Avalanche Shadow = He gathers some darkness to his blade before slamming it to the ground, causing a cold and dark shockwave of shadows to knock back his target a few meters, possibly harming them with ice and shadows aswell. 6. Cannibalism = Johannes eats living or dead flesh/bones in order to heal some damage caused on him, but it is preety inefective. for example: Should he loose a finger, he would have to eat an entire hand in order to get it back. 7. Tundra Scream = Johannes shouts and unleashes a cold wind against an enemy, possibly freezing them. Not as cold as Northern Grip, but it has the advantge of being a ranged attack. 8. Infected blood = His blood contains a disease that can cause rapid necrosis and internal bleeding if it finds a way to get through the skin of his opponent. He has a habit of coating his sword and teeth with it at times. 9: Mind-Shredder's Curse: A mental spell placed on him before his undeath to ensure none but a select few (and now deceased) would control him. Those who attempt to manipulate his mind against his will become subjected to nightmarish and blinding vision that will slowly grind away the brain of the attacker on a physical and mental level untill they cease their attempt or perish. Johannes also becomes blinded by these visions, but they cause him no harm other than great annoyance. Some other facts about Johannes: Though he is smart enough to put up a fight, he is still easily fooled by simple tricks. Should his armor break, his spells become less effective and he becomes even more prone to messing them up. Despite his perverted nature, he finds sex-slaves and rape to be a massive turn-off. Prostitutes on the other hand... The runic tattoos, being the source of most of his magical abilities, have a tendency to randomly change with each passing day. This seems to be linked with what spells have a higher or lower chance of misscasting for the day. Upon his undeath, he lost his ability to have any natural hardons, forcing him to rely on a spellbook he found from an incubus he killed in order to enjoy himself for a limited amount of time.
