Rastin Crysknife
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2011 12:54 pm
First Name: Rastin
Last Name: Crysknife
Appearance: Disturbingly hollow and slightly elongated features, ruddy skin and dark grey hair.
Race: Tiefling (Baatezu)
Age: ~ 25
Height 5' 7"
Weight: 155
Eyes: Yellow
Hair: Dark Grey
Facial Hair Style: Trimmed beard
Personality Profile: Very detatched, he rarely shows strong emotions outwardly, and is not prone to taking offense. Stupidity and willful ignorance irritate him to no end. Being highly introverted, he does not frequently open up to anyone, even his closest associates, and has few people that he actually considers friends. He does not typically reveal his race to anyone, and there are probably few enough people that know his true heritage to count on one hand. He typically speaks in very litteral terms, and uses few contractions in order to prevent himself from being misunderstood.
General Health: Rastin is very healthy, and is stronger and heartier than most wizards and schollars due to his harsh life and unwillingness to officially join any faction, mainly due to his unwillingness to reveal his heritage.
Deity: Savras
Initial Alignment: True Neutral
Profession: Traveling schollar
Base Class & Proposed Development: Wizard with limited Duelist levels
Habits/Hobbies: He is constantly taking notes in his journal, but vowed to not reveal its contents to anyone until he died or no longer cared.
Languages: Infernal (racial) Abyssal, Dwarf, Elven, Gnome, Orc, Draconic
Weapon of Choice: Rapier
Background:Rastin was born in sigil to a woman who was raped by his half-devil father who served an unknown Baatezu master. He was captured and bound by his infernal blood by Zzecrsh, an apparently human wizard who also lived in Sigil. The wizard bound Rastin magically to obey his commands, similar to, but more persistant than an Invisible Stalker.
Zzecrsh used Rastin as his proxy in deals to collect rare books for his library, and Rastin learned to read on his own by looking through these books. If Rastin failed a task, then Zzecrsh would brand him with a red-hot iron rod on his back or chest. Zzecrsh also performed an experiment to conceal Rastin's infernal nature by setting a celestial symbol into Rastin's left arm.
Though the experiment did not produce the desired effect, it did reduce the discomfort from being in the presence of paladins and other good holy types to a simple itching of the mark itself.
Rastin eventually gained a portal key from the corpse of a bystander that happened to be too close when a protective ward on a book he had required exploded. Rastin used this portal key to escape, ending up on the sword coast. The nature of the binding prevented cross-planar control, temporarily severing Zzecrsh's power over Rastin.
Shortly after arriving on the Prime Material, Rastin met an old man who claimed to be a cleric of Savras. The cleric declared to Rastin that his will was like a crystal knife: exceedingly hard and precise. The cleric then dubbed Rastin "Crysknife" since Rastin had no surname up until that point.
Goals: Gain enough knowledge and power to finally return to Sigil and kill Zzecrsh so that he would finnally be completely free.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: There are only two people currently playing that know IC that Rastin is a tiefling. It might be possible for Zzecrsh to finally track down Rastin and reveal this fact publicly durring an attempt to reclaim his slave.
