Name: Bran Restam
Race: Human
Age: 42
Background: The only son of Sir Gordon Restam,who ruled his territory with the King's blessing.
Was raised and trained in the rules of Knighthood,but he felt unhappy with the thought of successing his father as a Knight.
When young he learned some ways of magic through the earth in the kingdom.He also could use some air spells.
That led to his obsession with magic and his obedience to the rules began to fade.
Abilities: In battle he could use the earth magic to put many obstacles for his enemy and could use flies to swarm enemy troops.
He could unleash in air so horrible smell,that any alive enemy fled in terror from the battle.
Collection: He collected many armors from the battles he fought.Could tell the inteligence of a soldier by the armor.
His personal armor was his most beloved posession.
He believed that the quantity of armors helped him in his victories.
Plans: He planned to send his father away on some mission(didnt have evil intentions towards his own blood,but he also wanted to rule)and to expand his territory further,preferably joining the neighbour valley with the most beautiful women in the kingdom.
Hatred: He hated those pesky peasants without an armor,who lived as if they dont pay respect to him and his father.He also hated the counselor of his father,who refused to see any good in the ways of magic.
Dreams: He dreamed of becoming a Master in the ways of magic,Supreme Lord in the ways of the armor and to have as many beautiful women around him as possible.
Minions: He had many scouts,who reported to him every enemy move or any magic place they could find.His rules for choosing scouts were simple:any man,woman or child,who could wear a light armor when being in his sight and who was fast enough to do the job.

Name: Louis Ironfist
Race: Human
Age: 53
Gender: Male
Appearance: Overly obese, bears a huge scar on his face, covering almost the whole of his left side. Short blonde hair and blue eyes, he looks lazy yet angry at most times. He is very short and has a very round appearance.
Biography: Born into wealth, since a young age, Louis has been given just about everything he wanted, be it food, clothing, toys, even other people. He was taught no responsibility and became a very selfish man. By the time he was 16 he had a man killed for staining his shirt. He was rarely seen walking around on his own, but were often carried on a throne by four people. He would often be carried around his home village, claiming peoples cattle as his own, and simply take it with him home.
When he was 24, his father passed away. All his wealth now left to Louis, he had his mother sent away to a faraway castle and ruled on his own. He became more and more shut in, rarely seen leaving his castle. Rumours were that he was performing hedonic rituals in his parlour, as often he would send his guards away and smoke and light could be seen at his castle late into the night. Rumours had it that he would engage in heathen magic, performing forbidden rituals, sacrificing humans. Some said he stroke a deal with the devil for infinite power. All people know was that one day he had, out of nowhere, a massive scar covering most of his face.
Since then his rule has been cruel and determined. Everyone as much as uttering a bad word about him would disappear. At first he was the lord of a small village, but his rule grew as other leaders would disappear mysteriously, their kingdoms claimed by Louis. In ten short years, he more or less had his own country. Fewer people were allowed to enter his castle, and it could go months without him being seen at all. Guards were positioned everywhere, dark figures who wouldn’t say a word unless they were arresting someone. People brought to the dungeons are never seen again.
Today, age 53, Louis has ruled for a long time, yet he has no heir. He still bears the appearance of someone in their mid twenties. The few times he is seen, he has the entire village or town he is visiting gather in the town square. He then proceeds to elect a few people at random to be brought to his castle dungeon, where he tortures them, taking great pleasure in their torment. After he’s broken their spirit he simply eat their bodies to keep his young appearance.
Personality: Cruel and harsh. He cares for no one but himself, simply taking that which he desires. He’s not a snobbish man, as the only thing he cares about is his own pleasure. A deeply sadistic nature combined with a complete disregard for basic emotions makes him a ruthless and terrifying leader.
Weapons/Tools: A torture chamber filled with all possible kind of equipment. On top of that, he rules an army of loyal subjects.
Abilities: The people he devours keep his youth. He also possesses unnatural strength, as seen in the occasional outburst of rage he’s had when visiting a village or two. Suspicions are he’s immortal.
Minions: An army of loyal inhuman subjects. Armour-clad and silent, they never speak and do only their masters bidding; a gift granted to him by the devil himself.

Eh, why not.
Name: Rukal of Ostspring
Race: Human
Age: 26
Appearance: Tall, scrawny man with long brown hair, limps on his legs. His body is covered in scars.
Biography: Born into a poor farmer's family in a village on the outskirts of a famous castle named Ostspring, Rukal's apparent destiny was to inherit his father's work and live his life in the shadows of the nobility. Born with a weak body, Rukal was chastised repeatedly and methodically by his father in hopes of toughening him up for the future. It only served to further weaken Rukal and cultivate a deep hatred for his family, including his mother who refused to even watch the beatings.
Rukal's natural talent for magical illusions first manifested when he accidentally manipulated a bully's mind as a child, serving him Rukal's mental rage in visual form; the bully died of fright within minutes.
Both utterly horrified and amazed by his own skill, Rukal hid his talent from then on. He honed his talent on animals in secret, slowly moving up from manipulating worms to dogs to local monsters like trolls.
At the age of 16, Rukal once again used his magic on humans, this time deliberately. No one knew why his father had decided to throw himself down a well. In her last moments, Rukal's mother admitted to being a witch who had forsaken her own talent and chosen a simple life. The origin of his powers was now revealed to him, but his mother's talent was nothing compared to his own. The apparent suicide by knife of the mother was understandable in the village considering the recent loss of the family provider.
With the blood of his parents on his hands, Rukal's powers fully awakened. From that day he no longer held back.
The village seemed to suddenly change its attitude to Rukal. No longer they did they look upon him as a weak child without talents, there was something new about him: his eyes seemed so kind, his smile so sincere and his hair... had he always been so beautiful? And talented as well, it would seem that nothing could stand in his way. Swordplay, poetry, mathematics, was there anything this boy was not capable of? Surely he was destined to rise up from the dirty outskirts and join the noble life within the castle walls.
Still dressed in rags, limping on his weak legs, with the same dirty hair, Rukal ascended to the world of nobility through his illusions.
It would take 5 years for Rukal to successfully put every single soul in the city under his illusion. He was now Lord Rukal, beloved king of Ostspring. Naturally, neighbouring cities questioned the sudden succession by an unknown farm boy. Wars ensued, but the power of the Ostspring militia proved astounding, never had the enemy commanders witnessed such incredible morale and discipline. Furthermore, several of their ranks betrayed their own generals and joined Ostspring under Rukal's rule, seemingly entranced by the young lord's beauty and power. Word of Ostspring spread throughout the kingdoms, and everyone who travelled there never returned.
Now 26 years old, Rukal has shaped Ostspring into a paradise from his throne. All caught in an eternal trance, his people live their lives in constant bliss, knowing no despair. Every single one of his subjects love him to death, and work their bodies to exhaustion to appease him.
Should his ambitions point towards war again, the neighbouring lords fear that they may not be able to stop the infinitely charismatic and powerful lord of Ostspring.
Powers/Weaknesses: Rukal possesses the power of illusion, capable of creating perfect magical imagery inside his targets' minds. Applying the illusion comes natural for Rukal, he needs only look in your eyes to do it. There is no known limit to the amount of people Rukal can put under illusion at once, although there may be a range limit since he very rarely moves outside of his city, and he tends to stay very close to his army when it goes to war.
Rukal cannot force the victim to do anything directly, but he can manipulate what the victim sees, hears, smells and feels. Through this, he creates illusionary situations in which the victim cannot help but do his will.
Rather than manipulating his subjects through fearful illusions, Rukal has grown to prefer using extremely pleasurable ones that fulfil their every desire. The threat of losing this extraordinary pleasure unless you do your lord's bidding has turned out to be an excellent motivator. Essentially, Rukal's victims become addicts to illusions of a perfect life.
A person of exceptionally strong willpower may resist the illusions however, or a person of superior intellect may simply see through the illusion itself.
Without his illusionary powers and army of entranced minions, Rukal is but a less than average man, weak from ages of beatings and bullying from his family and village.

the character's design is something akin to a lovecraftian horror type, as barely understood entity, which appears, terrorizes, grabs what he needs and disappears.
Name:Unknown, in the scarce written sources he is named simply as The Shadow.
Race: Unknown, possibly was human once.
Age: Several millenniums at least.
Appearance: Sometimes appears as a pitch black shapeless cloud with red gleaming eyes. Sometimes appears an armored humanoid figure. ref image
Personality: manipulative and persuasive. A lack of empathy, yet enjoys playing with the emotions of his victim. Doesn't have a complex to kill/destroy everything on sight for no reason like most generic villains.
Powers/weapons: Elemental magics(Ice) and ancients forms of magic forgotten by the modern mages, or too terrifying to study, yet alone master. The Shadow sees into your soul and uses your own inner evil against you. be it guilt over a lost one, your fears or anything else, The Shadow will turn it against you.
Minions the once heroes that tried to stop him are now his loyal Dark Riders. mounted on draconic, winged steeds these once noble men and women now serve their master until his demise which has yet to come. Slaves to their fears, anger and guilt they all carry out their master's will.
Lair: A Fortress, a monolith of black granith stands within a barren wasteland, littered with bones of both man and beast.
Background:
As written in the journal of the archmage Arani Zukaros...
"The being we now know as The Shadow, was once a wise, but powerhungry mage of his time. the name of this man has been lost to the eons now, and only his horrid acts of terror remain. The Shadow studied the ways of the arcane and mastered them as no mage after him could, yet his thirst for power obsessed the mage as he tapped into forbidden knowledge. Some say that dealings with the dark gods had turned him into what he is today. Yet the truth remains unknown With his evergrowing legion of fallen heroes, he searches the realm for lost knowledge and artifacts, claiming them without mercy. people were killed and the kingdoms razed to statisfy his hunger. But for what, I cannot say. His loyal riders hoard him artifacts and ancient tomes, but the purpose of this is not known of. some say he wishes to ascend to godhood. Some say that he is cursed. But no one trully knows. This tome is only on speculations and theories. One can only wander what drove the mage to this madness, this insanity. This terror that he wages via his vast knights of darkness. I myself am not sure of my life, as my foolish travel to his lair had left a terrible mark on me and I am afraid. for my life, for my very soul. I feel that he is watching me. Driving me insane..." The rest of the journal is full of ravings of a madman.

Name: not to be uttered, else…
Race: human, then vampire, then demon-possessed vampire, eventually turning into a demon-possessed vampire possessed by another demon with memories of a human, then vampire…
Gender: male
Age: somewhere between 200 and 2000 years, depending on the sources
Appearance: initially he was your regular evil-looking human with a pointy beard, perfectly combed black hair, sinister smile or even more sinister lack of smile. Average height, average muscularity, not fat but not exactly athletic, dressed in black with certain nuances of blood red, in short a real Dark Lord cliché even among the Dark Lord clichés.
Biography: The Dark Lord in question (hereafter referred to as the Dark Lord) grew in a huge and difficult to maintain castle built by his grand(x6)father or rather by the local peasants forced to work for his grand(x6)father at swordpoint and slaughtered after the completion of whole thing for no apparent reason.
As a heir to an old family which had a reputation to maintain, the Dark Lord started his formal training in the arts of hanging, flaying, burning and decapitating at the age of 4 and by his sixth year was ready to move to advanced torture disciplines. According to his father, the Dark Lord showed some promise in certain fields, particularly related to the usage of a dull spoon as a torture tool, but in general was not very talented. This lack of parental approval is considered to be one of the main reasons why the Dark Lord became such an unpleasant person later.
By the age of 17, following the old tradition, the Dark Lord had already burned the villages and slaughtered the peasants in the lands of his family, then hired a particularly expensive priest to resurrect them so they can be slaughtered again when necessary and eventually slaughtered the priest to avoid unnecessary payments. It was then when his father was killed by a group of righteous adventurers who were just passing by on their way to the Cursed Lands where they hoped to find plenty of evil creatures to kill and loot. This was the turning point at the Dark Lord’s life – he swore revenge on all other righteous people and creatures under and above the sky as they had stolen him his birthright to kill his father himself. The adventurers however escaped into the Cursed Lands where they are rumored to attack unsuspecting evil creatures to this very day.
When he was about 30 years old, the Dark Lord was accidentally bitten by a vampiress during a vacation in a field of recently utilized mass graves. It is rumoured that the Dark Lord and the vampiress were in the middle of an exceptionally sinister fornication when the biting occurred and as there were no traces of teeth to be found on the Dark Lord’s neck, some scholars offer intriguing suggestions regarding where exactly was the Dark Lord bitten. In any case, from this moment on the Dark Lord was not longer a human. This in turn led to a slight increase of the life expectancy in the region as the requirements of the vampiric nature were such that the Dark Lord could no longer slaughter all people and needed somewhat adult victims to feed from. The following years are referred to as “The Golden Age” by the descendants of the local peasantry to this very day.
Being a vampire, the lifespan of the Dark Lord was increased greatly. Unfortunately this meant that he had to constantly invent new ways to entertain himself to avoid the curse of the boredom. By the age of 110 he had already ran out of ideas how to torture the local population. His plan to invade the neighbouring dark lords for a diversion was thwarted by the demon Urz-Arz-Orz-Irz-Magramathotha who broke his chains, broke the necks, spines and pretty much everything of the 12 White Wizards who were guarding his elemental prison and then broke free into the realm of the mortals again. Following the ancient Civil Code of Demonic Behaviour, Urz-… immediately announced a campaign for the destruction of the world and summoned all competent dark lords under his banners. The Dark Lord however was not incredibly enthusiastic to destroy the world because this would leave him without things to torture (according to his personal psychologists, the result could be traumatizing for him, leading to a constant deep depression) – so when all other dark lords had already kneeled before Urz-..., the Dark Lord openly refused to follow suit. According to the Civil Code of Demonic Behaviour, this meant that Urz-… either had to kill the Dark Lord in a most gruesome manner in front of a large audience, or to make the rest of the eternity a very, very nasty experience for him. However, Urz-… was a follower of an alternative philosophy school according to which everything that is twisted has all the rights to become even more twisted and to twist everything in the process. So one beautiful night, right under the full moon, exactly when the Dark Lord was gutting his fifth vampire hunter for the month and generally having a great time, he heard a voice inside his own head, saying (according to some sources) “Hi. I’m moving in and your mind is moving out. I’ll keep the memories and some of your personality. Questions?” But before the Dark Lord could ask anything, Urz-… had already fully possessed him.
Now housing two minds – with one of them somewhat intrusive and bullying the other – the Dark Lord started the campaign for the destruction of world after all. The armies of Darkness stormed the lands of the good and the righteous and performed admirably. Many heroes of Good who were not properly equipped with magic gear fell before they could put more fight than the regular expendable footmen. Those heroes who had access to magic equipment performed in accordance with the quality of that equipment but ultimately got killed. The Dark Lord made sure that all priests and other entities with resurrection powers get targeted first so they can’t raise already killed heroes – for this purpose a special team of dark assassins was assembled. Everything was splendid and the world was certainly about to be destroyed shortly if it wasn’t for the wizard Faiabalicus who came up with a desperate plan. Having studied some Ancient Scrolls™, he found out that Urz-… has an arch-rival among the demons with very unpredictable personality – the great Ahtohtamargam-Zri-Zro-Zra-Zru. Having ran out of options, he decided to summon Ahtohtamargam-… and see what happens. He however never saw what followed because the demon tore him to pieces upon the summoning.
During the final assault of the city where the last heroes of Good had decided to make their last stand, hoping that someone will manage to find and cast some spell of mass destruction or otherwise save the world in the last minute, the armies of Evil suddenly turned on each other. The Dark Lord was nowhere to be found and the other dark lords, having held a short and not very fruitful discussion about who should take the lead decided to resolve the issue following the old traditions which dictate that if you kill your opponents, they lose the right to lead. The heroes of Good waited before the forces of Evil have weakened themselves sufficiently and stroke what was left, routing the survivors, saving the world and destroying the unemployment among the bards for the next 20 generations.
Nobody knows for sure what happened with the Dark Lord that day but according to the wizard Tandabolticus – the most promising student of Faiabalicus – he is still alive but probably not very sane. His theory states that Ahtohtamargam-…, being a follower of the philosophical school teaching the doctrine that everything twisted by something twisted has to be twisted further (in other words – the opposite of the doctrine which Urz-… followed), had possessed the Dark Lord, essentially making his body a host of three minds which have little love for each other. According to some rumors the Dark Lord traveled to the Cursed Lands in search for the adventurers who killed his father, others claim that he’s back in his family castle, drinking blood and slaughtering peasants from time to time but the most widely accepted version is that he has become a hermit and argues with himself from dusk till dawn.
Minions: the Dark Lord has three types of minions:
- expendable minions – ranging from forcefully recruited peasants to particularly weak evil creatures that are usually used for fodder;
- other expendable minions – minions that are expendable for tasks which the expendable minions can’t perform before they are fully expended;
- elite expendable minions – the greatest among the expendables, these minions are sent to die only when all other minions are expended.
Favourite song of the Dark Lord.
