Character Bio: Farris

Name: Farris, Ikkit’ut by Kanne and Hadet (Monster/Animal and Wild)

Age: Unknown, assumed to be over 40

Sex: Male (He/Him)

Weapon: ???

Faction: Cruelty

Occupation: Primord

Relationship: Single

Close Friends: Hadet, Kanne

Friends:

Knows of: Grows-Bones, Sirit, Hugo

Family: None

Goals and Motivations:

- Hadet and Kanne beat me in battle, so I must listen to them. They are the only ones I respect. Whatever they say, I do, regardless of if I want to or not.

- I crave violence. Not honorable battle like Kanne. Violence. Bloodshed. Murder. Pain.

- Chaos is the only certainty in life. I exist to enforce that chaos prevails.

- Kanne is right: we should overthrow Hadet! Rule the world! Plunge it into war!

- Hadet has me locked up in shackles and a pillory when I can’t be monitored freely. He thinks he can fix me. Fix my brain, the way I think, the way I act! Well I can’t!

- I offer blood and worship for the minor gods of Natural Disaster and Deceit.

Personality and Interests:

- I am evil! I am bad!

- I have a mental disease that makes me want to assault people. I have groped, harmed and assailed people out of my uncontrollable cravings. Urges.

- I love to hurt people. Nothing’s funnier than the cry people make when you twist their arm the wrong way.

- Cheating’s great! Who cares if it’s right or wrong: if you win, you win! Play dirty!

- I don’t care how I look. If I look scary enough maybe I’ll startle my enemies!

- I ain’t go no hair because I keep pulling it out! Hah!

- I don’t remember how I fucked up my face. I was probably in another state of mind. Don’t much care anyways.

Primord

[Commissioned by @glarnboudin. This is about as retro as retrosaurs get. These ghastly creatures made me think “zombies”, which took me in the direction I went with them. I can imagine this painting as an exhibition match between necromancers off in the distance, taking bets and sipping wine.]

Primord CR 9 NE Undead This immense pallid horror resembles a swollen lizard or crocodile, with piggy black eyes over a massive maw lined with teeth.

A primord is something of a showpiece among necromancers—it is a creature designed more to be a display of talent and resources than a useful entity. Primords can find employ as guardians and terror weapons by skilled necromancers, but are frequently expended to fight each other in contests of wizardly might. Primords are mindless killers, and they live to fight. Without orders, a primord will instinctively kill and devour creatures, adding their mass to its own. They battle with claws and teeth, but their most effective weapons might be the combination of their grotesque appearance and merely plowing over enemies with their mass. Primords are as comfortable in the water as they are on land, and free willed primords can often be found at sea, attacking whales and sea monsters.

Creating a Primord A primord is created using a mounted skeleton as a base—this can be the intact skeleton of a Gargantuan creature, or a composite made from the skeletons of multiple recent or fossil creatures. This skeleton is then buried in a mass grave with 20 HD of zombies, and the spells animate dead, false life and bestow curse are cast over the morass. A primord counts as having twice as many Hit Dice as it actually has for the purposes of the material component needed, and for animation and control.

Devour (Su) A primord can devour the corpse of a Small or larger creature by taking 1 minute—doing so heals it of 1d8 damage per HD of the creature devoured. Creatures so devoured cannot be returned to life with a raise dead spell or any effect that requires an intact body. Horror Aura (Su) Any living creature within 60 feet of a primord that can see it must succeed a DC 16 Fort save or take 1d6 points of Strength damage. Creatures that either succeed or are affected cannot be affected again by that primord’s horror aura for the next 24 hours. This is a mind-influencing ability, and the save DC is Charisma based.
