ETA: Updated with CORRECT attire in bust shot (higher necklace, bodysuit, cream-coloured manskirt, etc.), less-lame looking armbands, and some nifty dodge-and-burn shading-and-highlighting a la Gilly. 8) Plus a dumb little action shot I will update later, just because I figured I should follow my own damn rules, haw~

Alrighty, I'm back and ready to post! *shinesparkleshine*

STATS

Name: Xeth's (ZEH-thiss)
Age When Turned: 22
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 220 lbs
Body Type: lithe but toned; wiry
Hair: black, long in two pieces in the back with most of his head closely shaved, and a long, un-spiked mohawk hanging over the left side of his face
Eyes: gold
Distinguishing Features: single black hoop on the right side of his lower lip, and a black Egyptian-hieroglyph-styled snake tattoo that he's always trying to show girls and getting slapped in the face for

Personality: Womanizing, a terrible flirt, and an insufferable manwhore, Xeth's just loooves the ladies. He's also spoiled and believes he is entitled to anything and everything he so desires to have, including women. A surprisingly smooth talker, Xeth's can read people like nobody's business, and uses this to his advantage when coercing fresh blood over to his cause. He does not often lie to his own kind, preferring bonds of trust to bonds of deception among the ranks, but outside his kin he has no problems twisting the truth with a velvet tongue, and spinning lies that would make Huck Finn's head spin.

As a nobody, he seeks power, recognition for his glory, and kinship among his equals, as well as revenge for past wrongs, and enslavement of all the "lesser beings" of the universe. Nothing too complicated, am I right?


SOMEBODY INFO

Somebody: Seth
Homeworld: Prince of Egypt
Backstory: (Xeth's complete backstory can now be found here!)

In life, Seth was the son of a wealthy public official, a spoiled brat who always expected to get his way. The one man he managed to befriend was Apep, a priest of Osiris who knew much about the world beyond Seth's home. He taught Seth of many things - how to fight, how to defend himself; knowledge of life after death, and of things not normally seen by the living. When the heartless began invading his homeworld, Apep began to study them voraciously, drawn to the power of the darkness within them. The people of Egypt did not share his fascination for the darkness, however, as it ravaged their homelands and terrified them into hiding, and Apep's association with the growing darkness soon earned him banishment and a loss of his priesthood. Seth, however, continued to visit him regularly, the only one who would, heedless of his father's warnings and the wishes of his sisters.

One day when Seth was going to visit his friend, he entered his home to find the man besieged by heartless. As he vanished into the darkness, Apep called out to Seth, telling him to continue his research, and to succeed where he had failed. Angry and alone, Seth did as the older man had instructed, until his own anger and growing isolation led the heartless back to him. This time, however, he was ready for them, or so he thought, and he willingly gave in to the darkness, believing that the only way to truly harness the power of it was to become it.

Remaining strong through the ordeal, stubborn and determined as he was, he emerged on the other side as what he would come to call a "twilight being" - belonging neither to this world nor the next, neither dead nor alive, forever on the twilight on life and death, existence and nonexistence. Feeling the heat of the desert pulsing through his veins, he destroyed the dark and vile creatures around him, then turned and faced his own shadow - a hideous shell of what he had once been, warped and hardly recognizable. He destroyed the thing without a second thought.

Encouraged by his newfound powers, he stepped into the darkness through which the heartless had entered and wandered the void, eventually stumbling upon a strange world he had never seen before. There, amongst the clammering machinery he did not recognize, he encountered a young girl, seemingly just as alone as he was, and...the same somehow. Her name was Lana. Together, they forged an organization for all those like them - a place they could find a home, sanctuary, and solidarity.

They called it Organization Nu.


NOBODY INFO

Proof of Existence: The Incomparable Sandstorm
Element: Sand
Weapon: Large Was Scepter. "The was-scepter was a visual representation of the concept of ' power' or 'dominion.' Hence, it could symbolize power and authority." It is made out of a solid blue stone and has the Org-Nu symbol carved into the head piece, along with the words "Xeth's King of Heaven" along the body. See how modest he is?

Xeth's uses his was scepter in hand-to-hand combat even when not summoning or throwing sand about, and is quite skilled with it, seeing as how Apep trained him in combat during his visits to his lab.

Element Use: Xeth's uses his was scepter to control sand like a waterbender might use their hands to control the current of the water. In the desert, where he is at home, he moves the sand like waves, causing it to splash into buildings or people, grating against everything it touches, wearing it down. When traveling he keeps a bag of sand about his waist for when he becomes too weak to summon sand on his own.

Outside of his element, Xeth's can summon large portions of sand up to a certain degree. He cannot summon too much at once or his body would be drained of too much power and he would not be able to function. Since his strength only allows him to summon so much sand at once, if he wishes to lower his load he must release some of the sand he has already summoned. If he grows too weak to control all the sand he has summoned it will all disappear and return to nothingness.

When fighting, he tends to draw his sand out all at once, coating the battlefield with a layer of it (in a circular area around himself) and lifting and flinging the sand as he needs it. He can mold things from the sand and control them, such as a giant fist he might use to whomp on people, or a literal wave to smash down on his enemies, but as sand is always porous, he would need a very large concentrated amount of it in one place to pick up people or heavy objects, and that would draw on his own strength, as well, so he generally shies away from it.

If there is enough sand around him (such as in the desert) he can sink beneath the surface of the sand and move around beneath it like a shark.
