At first, it was only shared glances, but soon he would begin talking to her, aiding her with tasks and she would help him. They would work together to create lovely displays for the rituals, and potent potions for the sick. But their relationship extended beyond daylight, as the two would meet in the dark, and met often, exploring their love for one another. When she was 17, following the first day of the fertility festivals, she was selected as the sacrifice. Asim was beside himself, hurting at the thought of his loved one being taken from him, but Vida was overjoyed to serve her god in such a way. She urged him to be happy, but he found no joy. |

In the daytime, he would give passionate sermons about serving Tarthenon and crushing the other smaller faiths of the world, but he would continue his nightly deviations by frequenting libraries. He would discover texts filled with dark magic that he incorporated into his skill-set and hid from the faith. His presence marked a powerful turnout of followers at rituals, and converted others, using his powers to create illusions that the followers of Tarthenon were more powerful and immune to weakness than those who worshiped other gods. In reality, he would cast spells that brought perpetual weakness over them until they converted.

They told him to abandon his magic, and he would be allowed to serve in the High Epoch's tower as a silent brother. But the anger that had long been festering with Asim unleashed itself, and he slaughtered one of the members of the council.

From beyond the darkness...
In Tarthenon’s Name
Love’s blood
The ritual was done, with this being the only time Asim did not participate in the blood-letting. This began the feelings of doubt for his devotion to his faith, and filled his soul with a dark anger that would slowly ebb at his once-calm mind. He would no longer be able to look on his god with pure confidence.
Sheep to Shepherd
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Power 1 - Put info on your power here. Be as lengthy as you like.
Power 2 - Not every hero HAS powers, of course, in which case the powers section can be deleted.
Power 3 - Just take everything from the HR tag above the Skills section, up to the "Powers" sub-header, and delete it. You can also edit the Main Header to take the word 'Powers' out of it as well.
Skills
Skill 1 - Skills are the things your character has learned to do, or has an innate talent at doing.
Skill 2 - These skills can be as mundane as painting, to more fantastical things such as enchanting items.
Skill 3 - If your character has no particular skills worth noting, feel free to follow the same directions as shown for the 'Powers' sub-header on how to remove this section.
Attributes
Attribute 1 - Attributes are physical or mental traits, separate from powers in most cases, though possibly enhanced by them.
Attribute 2 - Attributes can be things such as flexibility, or being naturally acrobatic, or good eye-hand coordination perhaps.
Attribute 3 - Again, like the last two, if you have no use for it, delete this section. You can also ALTER the section if there is something missing that you would find more fitting.
Gear and Equipment
Gear
Weapon - Gear and equipment are the things your character carries around and uses. These can be things like weapons and armor.
Armor - Feel free to use this section to name and describe the gear that your character uses, if any. Be, again, as lengthy as you like.
Gadget - If this section does not apply to your character, feel free to delete it. Also feel free to add more sub-headers as they apply, such as for a vehicle, perhaps, and that vehicle's statistics.
Relationships
Lover
This section is specifically for a spouse, lover, or some other form of paramour. Feel free to use any of the formatting from 'Friends/Allies' below.
Friends/Allies
Put any friends or allies your character may have in here. You may give them descriptions or simply list them. To make a numbered list, simply place a # at the beginning of each new line:
- This guy
- That guy
- Some chick
For a non-numbered list, put an asterisk instead (the lines are optional. Simply remove the HR tags if you wish to remove them):
- This guy
- That guy
- Some chick
Or, you could even use a smaller sub-header for each person, effectively creating a small section on them, like this:
That Guy I Know
Put info on the friend here.
That Chick I Met
And here.
Some Dude at the Bar
Don't forget this one.
Enemies
Put any rivals or enemies here. You can give descriptions, or simply list them. Same idea as the Allies and Friends.
