Personal Stats
Body Build: Lithe
Distinguishing Features: When seeing in the darkvision of the drow, l'Ktonos's eyes glow red.
Clothes: l’Ktonos wears black cloth garments under his armor and a Drow piwafwi cloak that aids in his ability to hide in the shadows.
Personality: l'Ktonos tends to keep to himself. He is both untrusting and untrustworthy, in all aspects of his life. He is quick to kill, yet also quick to listen, should listening be more opportunistic than killing.
History: l'Ktonos spent the early years of his life in the underground Drow city of Menzoberranzan. There he grew up in a society whose belief it was that assassination was the best way to remove one's enemies. It was only natural for l'Ktonos to become an assassin when he moved to the surface world in a self-imposed exile.
He was born into the third House of Menzoberranzan (then House Del’nin) as the second son of the Matron. The House Weapon Master trained him in the way of combat using katanas until he was old enough to enter the Academy where he would further enhance his fighting skills. Shortly after leaving the Academy House Del’nin succeeded in destroying the second House. During the battle however, l’Ktonos killed his older brother, becoming the first son of the house, a much-coveted position among Drow males. He grew to be well known among the male circles, but female Drow were ever contemptuous of him (and indeed, all the males of their race).
Nearly two hundred years passed before l'Ktonos had to worry about the threat of assassination, but when the time came he was forced to be more cautious than most. Many females were jealous of his skill with the blade and his ability to slip poison into an enemy's drink unnoticed.
After several failed attempts to kill him, he decided he shouldn't test his luck in Menzoberranzan. Months of planning passed, during which only the favor of Lolth saved him from death. When all was ready, he entered the weapon stores of his matron and stole some of her most treasured possessions including weapons and armor that would not be affected by the sunlit world above.
Battle Stats:
Class Description: l'Ktonos fights using twin katanas in the traditional drow style of agilely dual wielding long swords.
Armor: Leather armor, boots, and a helm portrayed as a dragon. The armor is almost beyond blackness. The shadows surrounding his armor help l’Ktonos hide in the shadows and make it difficult to land a solid hit on him due to their ever shifting nature. The boots silence any sounds from his movements.
Weapons: Two katanas, a crossbow, and a hunting dagger. Like his armor, all the weapons have a property to it that makes it seem blacker than shadows, as though they were made of void itself. The crossbow is equipped with darts tipped in drow sleeping poison..
Accessories: Various vials of different Drow poisons.
Strengths: l’Ktonos is stealthier than imagination permits and his skill with the blade has not yet been matched. He knows how to create poisons, and has a high resistance to them as well.
Flaws/Weaknesses: Sunlight or other bright light is near unbearable and forces l'Ktonos to wear a heavy cloak with a low hood when outside during the day. He can find little trust in surface dwellers, being a Drow. Even finding shelter in a local inn can be an impossible task for him.
Extra Abilities/Magic:
Name: Enhanced Globe of Darkness
Description: Despite lacking the common drow ability of summoning forth Faery Fire, l'Ktonos has a unique globe of darkness. The typical globe of darkness creates a globe about ten feet in diameter of impenetrable darkness. l'Ktonos, however, can cause the darkness to grow in size, filling even large halls with pitch-black darkness.
Power: Makes it impossible to see.
Name: Levitation
Description: l'Ktonos can levitate for an extended period of time.
Power: Allows him to lift off the ground with a thought.
