A Skull And A Smile

"The Master of Life's been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat. He has given me life and joy where other saw oblivion. He has given new purpose to live for, new services to render and old wounds to heal. Life and love go on, let the music play." ~Johnny Cash Independent necromancer Original Character Will RP with anyone Based off the Diablo II video game

Tyrael from Diablo

Not sure why, but I’ve always just absolutely adored Tyrael from the start when playing Diablo II at the age of 5. When I saw him in Diablo III, after so many years, I was absolutely ecstatic.

Irasmus was born a peasant - a normal person with dark hair and dark eyes. 

Due to his experiments into death and his study of Necromancy, his life span has not only been unnaturally extended, but most of the color has been drained from him.  His hair and skin washed out to a bone-like color and his eyes a pale wine-ish color.

He looks to be physically in his 40's

Irasmus's approximate age is 934 (it's a running number and may change depending on how I feel about things)

He has a natural skill with Necromancy, and has practiced it for a huge portion of his life, so he's what you would call an expert.

He see's Necromancy as more of a science than a magic, and therefore separates it from the more obvious magics (wizard and sorcerer stuff)

That being said, even after all his years of living and studying, Irasmus is Average at other magics, at best.  He can't really cast anything offensive, but he knows several good spells for running away.  Even they take a lot out of him.

Because of his lack of healing magic, he's studied herbalism and natural medicine at length just in case.  He's no doctor, but he can treat minor wounds and illnesses. 

Irasmus attempts to be friendly and kind unless someone provokes him to be otherwise.  He tends not to talk about Necromancy, as that ends up being a poor icebreaker. 

Getting him angry is ill advised.  An angry master necromancer is a bad thing to face down despite who they are.

He's generally a gentle person, but he's also a bit jaded.  He's been around long enough and seen enough that most things don't scare him.  He does however, know when to be cautious around a being of power, whether he's afraid or not.

He loves studying how living things work.  If given the choice, he prefers hands on study as well.  That doesn't mean he's going to dissect everything he finds, but if that's an option, he'll go for that.

I'm kinda a lazy right now, so I'll just post things as they come to me and what not.  Any questions, just ask <3

Stop that.  I’m not falling for one of your half-hearted guilt trips

[modernnecromancy]

They aren’t half-hearted. They’re very serious. So very serious.

You owe me at least ten kisses for the trunk incident alone.

[thesmilingdeath]

Don't tell me you're keeping track and running some sort of tally are you?  You must be very bored.  *little smile*

[thesmilingdeath]

Oh now don’t you play that card on me.  *Pout*

[modernnecromancy]

No. It’s fine. Nevermind how you’ve hurt me.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

[thesmilingdeath]

Stop that.  I'm not falling for one of your half-hearted guilt trips

[thesmilingdeath]

Carrying a heavy trunk upstairs versus carrying just myself to the roof?  Do you not see that you make no sense?

[modernnecromancy]

I suppose you’re right. I just thought you loved me.

Siiigh.

[thesmilingdeath]

Oh now don't you play that card on me.  *Pout*

[thesmilingdeath]

I’m not old just when it suits me!  I’m old all the time!  It doesn’t matter how old you are, when someone’s threatening to use your blood to summon elder gods, you run.

[modernnecromancy]

And when you were old when I asked you to carry my trunk upstairs, but were magically okay enough to go on the roof for stargazing?

[thesmilingdeath]

Carrying a heavy trunk upstairs versus carrying just myself to the roof?  Do you not see that you make no sense?

[thesmilingdeath]

There’s a difference there and you know it.

[modernnecromancy]

It’s minute at best, though. You can’t be old when it suits you.

[thesmilingdeath]

I'm not old just when it suits me!  I'm old all the time!  It doesn't matter how old you are, when someone's threatening to use your blood to summon elder gods, you run.

[thesmilingdeath]

Come on now, Neo, I’m an old man!  You can’t expect me to move so fast.

[modernnecromancy]

[ Neo makes use of Irasmus’ lap. Perfect couch. ]

You move fast when we’re being chased by cultists. I have proof of that.

[thesmilingdeath]

There's a difference there and you know it.

[modernnecromancy]

thesmilingdeath

About time you showed up, you fossil~

[thesmilingdeath]

Come on now, Neo, I'm an old man!  You can't expect me to move so fast.
