About Umbrael
Oct. 14th, 2018 12:53 amIn sum: Umbrael is an ancient, reptilian spirit of darkness and shadows and what-have-you. He's something of a god amongst other reptilian folk from his world, immortal and obscenely powerful. He's also a bit of a dick.
There's a long creation myth for his kind, but the short version is there were five other obscenely powerful reptile gods along with him, and when things got extinction-eventy, they gave up their spirits and physical forms to create a bunch of younger, less immortal reptile-beings to care for the world/just live and do what giant magical lizards do.
Umbrael didn't participate in that, obviously, and as the last lizard-god-thing that knew what was up, he took it upon himself to take care of the descendants of his family. Today, the population of magical dinosaurs is declining, for reasons unknown. Umbrael's a little sore about that.
Appearance:
Natural form: A therapod-ish reptile, with a long neck and tail, sharp teeth, a ridge of red spikes down his spine, long claws, lots of teeth. Scalewise - uh, I'm shit at estimating, so uh here he is pictured with an average human of let's say nearly 6ft (for good measure let's throw in a bust shot too) Can 'stand' and 'walk' on his back legs, though with a hunched over posture, but was most agile on all fours.
Shifted form: He's gone through many in the years, but his last one is a human, 6-foot-something, about late twenties by appearance, red eyes, pointed ears, and black hair with a red shine to it. Dressed like he walked out of the trenchcoat fad in the nineties/early 00s (his world was about 2013 so yes he is out of touch).
( The long version; his setting in four paragraphs, his backstory in... more than that. )
( Personality expanded beyond 'he's a dick' over here )
( Aaaand the powers section. Brace yourselves: )
