Description

Name: Mordecai Subahu Dharker

Age: 74 (appears early-mid twenties)

Birthday: June 2nd, 1940

Gender: Male

Height: 6'2"


Species: Rakshasa

Ability(s): In basic combat, he relies on his extremely sharp claws and teeth, as well as his kind's beastly strength and bloodlust. His species can also naturally "fly", float, levitate, etc. 

-Shapeshifting: Mordecai can take on the form of other living creatures, from basic animals to even some smaller mythos forms (ie. ninetailed fox, unicorn, smaller dragons, etc.) These forms can be made to look natural, but when he's not trying to blend in, they are all black with three orange eyes (and fangs if he's feeling frisky).

-The Third Eye: On his forehead, Mordecai has a third eye which perceives the world differently from his other two, seeing auras instead of the physical world. This ability is actually in use at all times, even in sealed, as he has learned to see auras with his human 'third eye'. Reading auras is the same as reading someones emotions, allowing him an inside look into what someone is feeling, which he often takes advantage of. If someone is invisible, he can also use their aura to track them, barring any unforeseen magical barriers. He can even tell when someone is lying at times, unless like him, they are amazing liars~

-The Evil Eye: Much like a cobra's stare, Mordecai can 'hypnotize' others when he holds eye contact with them. Most effective in his true and fated forms, he can even do it slightly in his sealed state, if his gaze is intense enough. It only works so long as he maintains eye contact, and will last for varying degrees dependent on who is the target. While using this gaze, he can control/persuade/convince/distract/manipulate others to his bidding. Kind of like Jedi mind powers, the whole "these are not the droids you're looking for" kind of thing. Or even more appropriately, Dracula hypnotizing his victims. This 'hypnosis' ability is the early stage of his species' much more potent form of illusion magic, and will grow with time and training.


Title:
 Guardian

Class: D Rank

Partner: Sulgwenn "Sully" O'Brien 

 

Occupation: Full time Keeper

Residence/Region:  Southern, Resides in Sanctum Dormitories


Personality:  Two words that pretty much sum Mordecai up is Chaotic Neutral. All of his actions are done out of self-preservation and for his own interests. This doesn't necessarily mean he won't go out of his way for others, just as long as it benefits him in some way or another. He follows laws, rules, and orders not because it is the right thing to do or out of some since of morality, but because not doing so would work against him. He is both a villain and not a villain at the same time, and is wholly unpredictable and unreadable. His ulterior motives for doing things also remain mysterious to others, though again, its always a sure bet that its for his own personal gain.

He is a manipulative and twisted trickster at heart, teasing and toying with others for personal amusement. Clever, cunning, and highly intellectual, he delights in strategy and being several steps ahead of everyone else. He doesn't believe in love except the love he feels for himself, and he projects this same feeling onto others, never trusting that anyone truly cares for anybody but themselves. He prefers to maintain a cool and collected exterior, rarely losing face even when angry so that he can keep others guessing as to how he's really feeling. The only time he can be seen to lose control really is when presented with blood and carnage, his kind's bloodlust turning him into a frenzied and hungered beast, though he meditates frequently to help suppress this natural instinct.


History/Description: Mordecai was born in 1940, in India during the British Raj. His father was part of the upper caste of warriors in India, while his mother originated from Britain and had come to stay in India for business/trade reasons. They fell out of love rather quickly, however, and split soon after Mordecai was born; his mother returning to Britain with her baby, while his father remained in India (this fed into his belief that love does not exist except for the love one feels for oneself). Once he was old enough, Mordecai traveled between the two countries frequently, living a dually cultural life of ancient traditions and modern sensibilities. He occupied his time by educating himself in all things, from academics to spirituality. However, he never applied any of his learnings to a profession, since he had no real motivation to become anything.

When he was of "adolescent" age, his species traits began to appear, starting with an insanely strong hunger for flesh and blood. It was in fact so bad, that Mordecai had to quit the company of humans for a few years, until through meditation and personal discipline, he was able to curb his beastly desires. During this time, he remained with his father in India, and in place of humans, he became 'friends' with others of his kind. He found that he grew increasingly restless, not sure what it was he was missing…until one day when another Rakshasa, angered by a remark Mordecai made, attacked him. It was Mordecai's first fight but it was obvious he was in his element, as he overtook the other quickly, his own bloodlust spurring him on; the other only survived when those watching stepped in and pulled Mordecai away. Mordecai, however, was filled with indescribable pleasure, the taste of battle now all he could think about. This is the way of his kind, who are warriors through and through, and desire only carnage. Finally realizing this instinct, Mordecai was now faced with the dilemma of how to satiate this need of his.

Historically, Rakshasas have taken sides both with the forces of good and with the forces of evil, though predominantly they side with the latter, as above all else a Rakshasa desires human flesh. And this was the case for Mordecai. At this point, part of Mordecai's circle of 'friends' (in truth he considers no one his friend) had already turned rogue, giving into their innermost nature. Faced with the decision, Mordecai's first thought was to join them, and he would have if not for an unforeseen event. As he was about to meet one of these fellow Rakshasas, he came across the very one in battle with keepers from the Chancel. Not interfering (though tempted as he was by the blood), Mordecai watched the battle proceed, interested as to the outcome. The fellow Rakshasa had been attacking humans and the Chancel had of course deigned to intervene. Mordecai, like most mythos, was well aware of the Chancel, though he had never thought much of it before. But as he watched the Keepers overtake the other Hindu demon, he was filled with some respect and appreciation for their power. Mordecai's own self discipline and his intense desire for self preservation, spurred him to rethink becoming a rogue, and instead he set his mind on becoming a keeper. It was the sensible decision, and the only way he could enjoy the throes of battle without angering the greater powers that be.

After joining the ranks of Chancel recruits, Mordecai met his new partner, "Sully", a female white stag. While Sully did not take a shine to him at all, Mordecai immediately adopted her as his new plaything; referring to her as 'prey', and threatening to eat the little vegetarian like the carnivore he is. A more opposite pair there never was, though there are sure to be some interesting times ahead for them both. 


Additional Info:

-can lie through his teeth most convincingly, to the point you're never sure you can believe what he says to be true.

-Going along with the convincing lying, Mordecai could win an oscar for his acting abilities. When in disguise or undercover (or even when just to mess with people) he can play almost any part, so well that even people who know him might not question it. And because he's a such a quick thinker, this ability does wonders for getting himself out of tight corners.

-His true form's hair may look like flame, but its only a fiery red vapor that doesn't have any temperature or texture.

-Has a posh british accent 

-Voice:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqaMev…   //   www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxktc_…   //  www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eVBJJ…

-wears only black. Maybe dark grey. Maybe.

-eats only meat, either cooked rare or more preferably raw (the bloodier the better)

-enjoys drinking tea, wine, and…blood (but don't worry its animal blood, or at least thats what he tells everyone)

-meditates frequently, so as to help keep some...more unsavory instincts at bay~

-can levitate/float/fly when in his own fated or true form

-when in his true form or when he's taken the shape of a creature, his mouth does not move when he speaks

-well educated in many fields of study, fluent in several languages, and can be quite eloquent and aristocratic when he wants to be

-takes off his shoes for fighting and meditating. Scuffed oxfords are no good to anyone~

-prefers to take the form of predatory and carnivorous animals, but if he must take a different kind, he tends to put his own flair to it (ie. fangs on a deer, youre welcome Sully~)
