desc + You see an average built human here, not overtly strong, but certainly not weak.
desc + The color of his skin is a very sickly and pale white, as if it very seldom saw
desc + the light of day. Black hair that reaches long down his back constrasts his
desc + pale skin in a very disturbing way. His eyes focus with a dull colored grey
desc + color that do not reflect anything. His mouth is drawn taut and his lips thin
desc + as he expresses a stern and unworried look of aloofness. Below his mouth,
desc + slightly extends a sharp chin. Even below his chin is his neck, a thing which
desc + has a story in itself for sure. A long scar reaches across the width of his
desc + neck. Long, but seemigly strong, fingers protrude from his hands, able to make
desc + delicate and graceful movements and gestures used in the art of spell casting.
desc + His teeth and finger nails have been overtly neglected for care with a yellow
desc + and brown tint to them\; although, his body is kept in good shape in order to
desc + carry the many regeants and charms he uses in his many incantations.

role + Since as far back as he could remeber Niyren Darkshaw knew that he was differant
role + from the other kids in town. Sure, Hamsah Mu'Tazz is a large town, yet there
role + simply were not any other children that had the... abilities that were his since
role + birth. At the early age of five, Niyren had been playing with his friends over
role + at the town graveyard where they found a toad. After playing with it a while,
role + the toad suddenly jumped from one of the children's hands and smashed it's head
role + against a headstone of a grave, killing it near instantaneously. The majority
role + of the children were horrified, and some even went as far as to cry, but Niyren
role + only became curious. Death somehow did not seem to phase him, and in some deep
role + part of his mind, he enjoyed the sight. After the initial shock, the children
role + were all called home to supper, but Niyren could not get the dead toad out of
role + his mind and that night went back to the graveyard. Upon arriving, he proceeded
role + to search for the dead toad. He found it and played with it a while, amusing
role + himself and pretending it was alive again, when suddenly he felt all warm inside
role + and the frog hopped out of his hands. Horrified at this new discovery, Niyren
role + smashed the toad with a rock and ran home. All through the night, though, he
role + began to dream about creatures that were dead coming back to life... at his own
role + will and command. Dissmissing it for a dream he continued to play and enjoy his
role + youth, always feeling ill at ease with the other kids and avoiding the graveyard
role + as much as possible.
role +
role + Around his 15th birthday Niyren felt as if he were pulled towards the graveyard.
role + The pressure had been building up since his first experience with the toad, very
role + slowly at first, and now quickening to an almost painful feeling from within.
role + At some point he broke and ran to the graveyard, feeling the desire and need to
role + be only there. Once there he saw a cat stretching it's back in a an arch. The
role + enormous urge to kill something suddenly entered his mind and he hated the cat
role + with a passion, not because it did him any harm, but because he felt he had to.
role + With a screetch, the cat shuddered and then fell dead. A warm tingling feeling
role + welled up within Niyren. Strangely, he felt happier than he ever had before in
role + his life.
role +
role + For the next year, Niyren secretly played and grew in his newfound power and
role + joy, ever lusting for more. He was able to kill and ressurect, in an undead
role + fashion, small creatures with some power of will now. Unknown to him, though,
role + a certain warrior had been noticing the creatures that were now undead, and
role + tracked them back to Niyren. After watching Niyren for a while, the warrior
role + saw all he needed to in order to act.
role +
role + With a bloodcurdling cry of pure fury the warrior charged from the bushes at
role + Niyren, axes in hand. Scared for his life, Niyren did the only thing he could,
role + he ran. He ran as fast as his young legs would take him until he reached the
role + one place he thought he would be protected, home. Upon arriving his parents
role + were nowhere to be seen. Frantic he tried to find a place to hide, but all in
role + vain as the huge barbarian ripped through the door and faced down the young man.
role + Crying for mercy, Niyren cried out, "Please! I didn't do anything! Don't hurt
role + me...*gurgphle*" The warrior ripped through his throat, leaving blood flowing
role + freely down Niyren's neck. His parents hearing the crash of the door came
role + in with a panicked rush. As they arrived they saw only one thing, a pained
role + warrior with many small animals biting and attacking him. He batted at the
role + animals vainly while Niyren simply glared at him, his neck slowly healing as the
role + warrior apeared racked in pain. After a time the barbarian fled, the many
role + undead animals chasing him.
role +
role + Niyren's parents were horrified at what they had seen. Their son, practicing
role + the dark arts. It must not be. They kicked Niyren out and told him never to
role + return with many curses and threats. He spent that night in the graveyard
role + contemplating his new life. The dark arts, what did his parents mean and why
role + were they so upset with him. He was the one who was attacked! His neck was
role + still so very sore, and he coudl barely speak. During the night he heard a
role + rustle in the bushes, and out came the barbarian, holding a bag full of undead
role + creatures. The barbarian laughed then lunged at Niyren with his axes, narrowly
role + missing as Niyren lept out of the way and took off running again. The chase was
role + on. After a long frantic run Kiydan ran into a tall woman dressed in very dark
role + clothes. The woman grinned as she grabbed Niyren by the wrist and said some unknown
role + words with a gesture. Suddenly several huge creatures sprung from the graves
role + nearby, and turned towards the barbarian to attack. "This one is not for you."
role + called the necromancer guild guard as the barbarian approached the lumbering
role + ghoul and golem. "Then you will both perish by my hands!" boomed the barbarian.
role + "Not very likely," answered the necromancer and then uttered some quiet, yet
role + powerful sounding words. Without a word the barbarian gasped for air, his eyes
role + looked pained and became bloodshot as he fell to his knees. The necromancer
role + laughed an evil and echoing laugh as she watched the barbarian fall to the ground
role + dead.
role +
role + The necromancer guild guard took the tired Niyren into the guild of necromancers
role + and left him on an uncomfortable, yet inviting cot. The next morning Niyren
role + was to meet the guildmaster of necromancers in Hamsah Mu'tazz. It was a
role + thrilling experience for Niyren, who became a strong student under his new found
role + family. After this experience Niyren grew a hatred and mistrust of all who
role + fight with their hands and weapons, seeing them as simple barbarians or dogs.
role + His arrogance towards all races that were less intelligent than himself grew
role + through these years and he cared only about excellence in his own skills. Upon
role + finishing his aprenticeship, Niyren was forced to seek new way to grow in his
role + craft and find out his true potential. His guildmaster suggested the Masters
role + of the Five Magics, as they also enjoyed perfection in magic and use of the
role + mind over physically demanding and demeaning chores and tasks. They were
role + certainly above the dogs. And so he now seeks out the Tower of the Five Magics.
