Name: Sire, Master of the Hell-Gear
Age: Elder
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Asexual
Side: Evil
Affiliation: Villain
Description:
Personality: Sire, as he is known in his mechanical demi-hell, is a vicious, cruel, cold individual. An magician and a machinist, Sire creates ever more creative ways to punish souls in his keep and extract energy from them, fueling the furnace that sustains his artificial plane on the edge of the Inferno. As the powers that be have grown wise to his existence (and more importantly, the pilfering of "their" souls), the damned have begun to flow less and less into Sire's keep. This does not sit well with him.
Powers/Abilities:
Dark Magic:
- Black Shield: Produces a field of anti-energy around a target that persists for several minutes or until overloaded. Blocks energy and magical attacks only, disintegrated by light magic and energy weapons with similar frequencies to light magic.
- Nemesis: Confronts a target with a doppelganger. Persists until defeated. Disintegrated by light magic and similar attacks.
- Teleport: Sire can teleport at will, and can traverse planes in this way. The limit to this power though is that he can only teleport to other planes from the Hell-Gear, and can only ever teleport back to the Hell-Gear from whatever plane he happens to be on.
Hell-Gear: The great abyssal machine of which Sire is master. His powers are amplified here, but even here he dares not upset such dark masters as Mephisto.
History: Sire was once an organic creature of learning, but being unwise, sought to learn everything as quickly as possible without regard for safety. He traded valuables, flesh, and his soul for dark knowledge, but unlike others suckered into a Faustian bargain, he did not meet an unfortunate end nor find himself cheated. Sire worked hard, diligently adding more and more secrets to his tainted body, warping his flesh with dreadful experiments designed to increase his power and extend his short life-span. He added limbs to his body to increase his adaptability and introduced machines to maintain his biological functions until he could find a more permanent solution. He did when he unlocked the darkest arts, delving into Hell through magical forces and liking what he felt. The power there... it was calling to him. But at the same time, he dared not return, for the plane of Hell tends to absorb diabolical things into its raw, cascading fabric. So Sire worked diligently, applying all he new, wringing out the last ounces of strength from his countless slaves, depleting the land of iron for miles around, and smiled in satisfaction at his creation: a metal disk, measuring a mile across. He set it in motion just beyond the borders of Hell, and like a giant net over an even more massive hole, it captured a small portion of the souls that fell into darkness, feeding the machine, the Hell-Gear.
