Bleeding Terror Lich

Koldunor

Power of Blood

Bondage: Bonds by blood by the subject drinking of their blood. Bond lasts +1 day per success, +1 week per ace. Subject must drink fairly frequently to maintain the bond. Bond makes subject loyal to Lich or vampire and appreciative, despite what may come.

Blood Thrall: Like bondage, but blood is first drained from the subject short of swooning and while still conscious (barely) they drink of the lich or vampire's master's blood (at least one cup per generation). The subject will then depend on their master's blood to live, becoming an addict of their blood. The thralls must feed at least once a week to survive. 25% HP damage occurs each week they do not feed. The same is regained each week they feed. Blood maintains their health (HP). Thrall becomes quasi-immortal if mortal.

Enslavement: Blood enslaves if victim is drained of blood until they swoon and then imbued with 1 cup of blood per generation. The subject who is enslaved will obey their master even against their will. This is a form of siring which witholds power and inherited traits. Subject becomes quasi-immortal if mortal.

Siring: They sire koldun Vampires in vampire form and Koldunor Liches from their Lich form. Koldun vampires do not have Koldunor Inborn Powers. They only have their sire's trait abilities and required paths. In order for the Koldun vampire to learn the rest, they must become a Lich through blood sorcery. same as process as enslavement only the victim must be moments away from death when sired.

Blood Applied to Immortals: If the subject is immortal, the same conditions apply, only immortals are harder to bring to a swoon, a near swoon, or the brink of death. If this cannot be accomplished, the immortal is not subject to blood powers other than bonding. Some immortals are also immune to siring and or bonding.

Koldunor Phylactery

Like many Liches; Bleeding Terrors have a phylactery. It is where their immortal life force, their strength, and the source of their power is stored. It can be anything solid they choose and is always well hidden. if the Lich is killed but their phylactery is not, they will self-resurrect as the power of their phylactery restores them completely, anywhere from three days to one month after their transient death. if they are completely obliterated it may take the maximum time limit. if their phylactery is destroyed, they become mortal, have no power, and their strength is reduced to a pitiful 12 points.

Koldunor Inborn Powers

Line Practice: These powers are unique to Bleeding Terrors and Koldun vampires. Even the teaching of them is unique. What these methods mean is that one level in each path must be practiced actively and succeed, before the same level in next path can be learned and practiced. This technique is called Line Practice. When one level is gained in one path, each path must be practiced successfully in order until Inborn Powers gains +1 level. This results in a level up of all paths under Inborn Powers at the same time. Level ups depend on successes, not XP.

1-Practice first power in first path at level 1 successfully.
2-Practice first power in second path at level 1 successfully.
3-Continue to practive next power in each path at level 1 successfully until all powers in each path have succeeded at level 1 and +1 level is gained in Inborn Powers.
4-Practice powers successfully in each path in order and gain another +1 level in Inborn Powers until all levels of Inborn Powers have been mastered at the same level.

Bleeding Terror Countess

Lich Description

Shifts humanesque figure; as flesh bleeds to whither, and visceral freezes to harden into a blood-frost carapice of armor. Black robes sheen with dark power's crawling fingers. Phantom motion gleans with micro-garnets of cold, as death corpse visage turns. Blanched orbs of arcane indigo shot with electric blue peirce what it sees with chilling dread fingers. Sunken face, lipless rotted mask, concaves and juts of skeletal structural bone, gilded in sparkling gems of cystalized blood. Cracking pops and sickening squish of cavity hollows herald death's prowling figure, preserved in imbue of power. Morbid bones crusted in frozen blood startles what it grasps with strength of demons. Shadows spread, Oozes dread; bitter cold's grip, drains what it touches; drinks blood, essence and will.

Vampire Description

Whatever hue eyes were before; Indigo gaze now shift thinning, deep as black in the dusky light. Bony digits like knobbed tendrils curl under an ivory palm, stature and breadth of form willowy, cheek bones, eye sockets concave and body chiseled as a gaunt image of who once was. Pale and sealmess like cream are the inviserate mask and fleshen coils which immure the blood lust, and pursuit of power which within the far more grim and monstrous form is hidden.

Information

This Lich is vampiric and capable of incredible power. It is basically a vampiric god of arcane corruption. These Liches all share one thing in common, they are avaricious in concerns to arcane power as well as territorial power. They become what they are through greed for power, as such they have very dominating personalities and crave control. Only vampires who command the path of blood sorcery or who are sired by these Liches can become a Bleeding Terror Lich. They are the only Lich that can be sired. Their powers are what change the vampire into a Lich when the corrupting end of the blood sorcery path soaks into their very embodiment through the cauldron of blood. These Liches must be in Lich form to sire another as a Lich, whereby they pass down their corruptions with their paths of power to those they sire. While some of these Liches are solitaries who control a vampire clan of their blood, a brave few have created an order of Koldunor Liches under them which they command. Because these Liches are so power hungry, the leader of such an order must be extremely powerful and clever. Few can imagine anything more terrifying than an entire order of these Liches.

Of Valaeros

As spoken by Byron De'Casey to Aurelius and Valis

"His necromancy is extremely advanced. He can take creatures and echo their soul with darkest and most powerful magics of his cauldron to create a shadow wraith echo, which are creatures that are an exact likeness in echo of the form altered, very hard to identify as something else, and he takes the soul of the one whose soul he echoed to possess their body with the shadow wraith echo. In doing so he creates a sort of Shadow Wraith Zombie. Its soul echo imbues their entire form with its life draining essence, so that everything that they touch is drained of life, so subtley the victim does not know it until it is too late."

"Valaeros uses a soul tear to rip out the soul and cast it into his sceptar of souls, or elsewhere, who knows, and then infests the body with the shadow wraith echo, to turn them into a creature of his own wicked creation which he alone commands utterly. The victim's mind is still intact, as it was, through that echo, only Valaeros has such power over the wraith that his will and thoughts becomes its own at his beck and command, through the wraith which possesses all that the victim was."

"This Shadow Wraith drains life from all that it touches but those Valaeros wills it not to affect, and the effects are very elusive. And this...Lich is what I must free my dear Lena, my wife from. How is such a monster to be conquered when this barely brushes the surface of what he can do?"
