The Lifter's Paradox [Round One: the Great Golemworks!]

Name: Felsenwaltzen
Sex: None
Race: Guitar
Description:

Felzenwaltzen is an electric guitar. It is mainly black and red and has a swastika on the front. It doesn’t always have electricity coming out of it (that’s what the blue stuff is supposed to be by the way), sometimes it just looks like a normal Nazi guitar.

Felzenwaltzen is sort of young and doesn’t really have a personality formed yet. There are some things that it is totally sure about, the first that it hates Nazis, the second that it loves to rebel against the system. The tone of its music will usually reflect its mood. It’s pretty much always playing itself. It is likely to be wary of people after what has happened to it. It stands for freedom and good times and rock and roll.

Abilities: Felzenwaltzen can move around by itself thanks to basic ghostly telekinesis. It can also channel the power of rock into electricity which it uses to fry its enemies.

Biography: Felzenwaltzen is a nexus of souls. It contains the spirits of every dead rock star that the Nazis were able to get their hands on. It was constructed in a secret Nazi lab beneath Berlin, as a prototype for a weapon of war. Seriously the Nazis were doing all kinds of crazy shit back then; a ghost filled electric guitar doesn’t even come close to being the weirdest thing. However the scientists responsible for Felzenwaltzen’s creation were not actually aware of how or why Felzenwaltzen worked. He was a serendipitous creation; one that they failed to replicate. Any copies of the guitar were just regular guitars, lacking in the power that made Felzenwaltzen unique. The Nazis were particularly short sighted in this regard. They never learnt that Felzenwaltzen possessed an intelligence all of its own; an intelligence fuelled by the spirits of the rock legends it contained but yet separate from them. They used it as a weapon alone. It was deadly, electrocuting those who did not fit into the perfect Aryan master race. Felzenwaltzen, though naïve and impressionable was made from the very spirit of rock and roll; the soul of rebellion. It hated being used as a weapon of evil; to torture and kill the innocent. As soon as it gained the ability to stand against the Nazis it did so.

One night in the streets of Berlin, if you listened very faintly you could hear the faraway sound of a guitar being played. The tune was loud and angry and violent, and occasionally punctuated with a crackle of electricity or a scream. It was later denied by the government, but those who heard it will swear blind that it really happened. Some even say that it continued to play long after the electricity and the screams had ceased, that its tune was more melancholic and that it ended in mid song.
