Username: Red ofc
Name: Orvins The Slayer
Species: mystically sentient suit of knight's armor
Gender: NB, It
Color: Gunmetal grey
Description: not sure how to say this with words without a reference, so here's a basic reference for the general shape:
. However, rather than the clean blue overcoat-ish cloth, the cloth Orvins sports is tattered and stained the color of ages-old blood. no pouch or other item save the sheathes of whatever weapons it may possess hang from the belt at the armor's waist, and despite the obvious damage and proof of being drenched in blood time and time again, the metal still shines as though it were newly forged, sporting naught a scratch upon its surface.
Weapons/Abilities: Orvins has been said to wield many weapons, and is often cited as not only possessing the strength to wield blades that a normal being would at the very least require two hands to lift with ease; but as often choosing to wield two such weapons at a time. Orvins seems to have no interest in the use of projectile weapons, and in fact often ignores them entirely except when they are used against it. The only weapon that is always cited as being wielded by the Slayer: a great, black blade forged from the tail bones of the Eternal Dragon. This sword is imbued with the powers of the Dragon's flames, and can bring forth destruction in its wielder's wake. In addition, having been bathed in the blood of the slain Eternal Dragon, the armor of the Slayer can never be truly destroyed; only temporarily damaged - no matter how great the damage, it will eventually return to its original state.
Bio: Many have heard of It. In the darkest corners of the infinite worlds, they whisper rumours of It. In the shadows, some few, poor fools try to hide from It. The stories vary - some say that It is a myth. Others swear that they have seen It. Some know all too well how real It is.
But they all agree on one thing: that It is Orvins The Slayer, and that thus did It come to be...
Long ago, in an ancient land, an Eternal Dragon came to be. Seemingly unmatched in power, and apparently immortal, it demanded tribute from the lands surrounding it. Thusly, once each year, the lands surrounding offered tribute, and the Eternal Dragon allowed the lands to continue to exist. Thus did things continue for a thousand years.
But a month before the thousand-and-first tribute, a knight clad in silvery armor came forth to the king of the lands, and offered to destroy the Eternal Dragon, that the lands might be free of the eternal curse. The King sighed, as many had tried before, and all had failed. He asked the knight for his title, and the knight answered simply:
"My name is Orvins; but soon thou shalt call me Orvins The Slayer."
The knight Orvins, thus spoken, walked forth from the king's halls, leaving all there with no doubt of his failure.
Three weeks passed with no word. Just as the tribute was being prepared, upon the fourth week and the day of the thousand-and-first sacrifice, a figure emerged on the horizon, carrying a great bone, roughly the length of a man's arm, and... the head of the Eternal Dragon.
Orvins The Slayer, he was indeed.
The Slayer offered the head of the Dragon to the King, his armor and the cloths upon it still stained with the blood of the Dragon. He asked that he might keep the tail, and that from it a blade worthy of such a feat be made.
This caused the King and his subjects to fear the Slayer, for what monster could defeat the all-powerful Eternal Dragon? and thus a plot was set in motion, and Orvins the Slayer was betrayed.
With his dying breath, the Slayer cursed the King and all the peoples of his lands, swearing upon the blood of the monster he had destroyed that he would have neverending vengeance.
And thus, as the words left the Slayer's mouth, did his armor rise. All who did not flee were slain, and the armor of Orvins The Slayer stalked those who survived... and their descendants... and their reincarnations... and on, and on, for all eternity, Orvins The Slayer's curse haunts the fools who rejected their savior...
None know if this is the true reason that the terrible thing known as Orvins The Slayer continues to move. None hunted by It has lived to say.
Pray then, that thou shalt never see It, for there is truth in the tale's final words:
It Cannot Be Killed.
It Cannot Be Caged.
And If It Is Coming For You, Never Stop Running -
- For Orvins The Slayer Always Finds Its Prey.
