Name: Hound Eteri
Age: He doesn't age, this isn't due to some innate immortality, or magic ability.. In fact he is outside time itself, outside of it's natural flow. While others float down the river of time, he walks along the bank.
Race: In truth Hound's species is currently unknown, and it's again unknown if there are any of him other then himself. Although he refers to himself as alone whenever someone questions his alliances. No one has had the guts and ability to try to capture and contain him long enough to figure out what he is, but if someone would just ask, he'd reply with a simple word. "Devourer, hunter, predator, and monster.."
Alliance: Alone..
Biography: Hound is a creature and myth and legend, he's been passing through the ages either undetected or falling into terrible circumstances. Appearing on multiple words in multiple cultures they sometimes depict him as a great beast with a seemingly infinite number of arms and mouths, while others show him a simple human male, but the oddest refers to him as a small canine, even on worlds in which dogs have never existed.
He's been known keep with him great wisdom, which legends say he has sometimes freely given to those in need, while in other tales he required a sacrifice or a task completed. Some worship him as a benevolent God, others see him as evil and dark spirit that brings both mischief and agony. But the legend that appears to be the most widespread, even across multiple galaxies is a tale of sadness and betrayal. The only physical copy that has been found that was capable of being translated was the diary of a high-priest who once worshiped the entity. Most of the diary was destroyed except for the last four entries. It was found one a world that was entirely barren of life, even down to the barest single celled organisms.. There was nothing.
Our Lord hungers once more, it seems that the hundreds of prisoners of the latest conquest only sated his appetite for a single night! Gugn suggested that we start feeding him the latest harvest, otherwise he might withdraw his divine protection and we'd be lambs to the slaughter for the Racha..
Every time I lay eyes on his ghastly form I can't help but feel small, his countless arms and mouths that dwarf the largest of our towers! I am thankful he chose us, his forever loyal servants to feed him while he guards us from our enemies, otherwise he might of chosen someone else! And we'd be fed to him!
He fed on Gugn today, unable to control his vast hunger he picked and swallowed him up during his noon prayers, in a moment of sadness and self-control he roared at us to leave, leave the island in which we call home. His voice came from thousands of mouths, and nearly deafened me as we sailed away.
Oh how I can hear his screaming! How he screams to be fed, this entire years harvest devoured and lost in a single night! This God! This beast has a belly that cannot be filled, yet he wishes to do so, and how he hungers again, nothing will stop our Lord from devouring this world, this world and all who lay in it.
Researching it more we found that they had a name for the beast they fed, it was Eteri, the surname in which Hounds goes by.. Following that train of thought we can only conclude that Hound devoured every living being on that world, unable to control his hunger.
Weapons: It's unknown if Hound uses any weapons, but many legends say that he does, but they are unable to agree on what he uses.
Equipment: Only one thing has been seen with Hound at all times, nothing more then a simple outdated music player.
Magic Level: IC: Unknown to anyone but him really. OOC: Hound's power is based off those he devourers, lets say he ate a level five, he's now a level five, and if he eats another level five, well I say he'd be a level ten. But that's far to much power for a human form to control, which Hound is currently in. He eats spirit, soul, and body, nothing is left.

-
Can't exist outside of time, and can't eat spirit. Also, no adding up levels.
-
Says who? The Archive has created technology that allows for existence outside of Time, and the spirit is essentially energy imprinted with memory and personality, aka a consciousness. Hound would basically be using that as an energy source, by eating it. :D
-
Except the spirit exists on a different plane of existence from the body and soul.
And you need a REASON to exist outside of time. Archive does it through Tech. You just said he does, you didn't give reason.
-
And? Who said he eats them with his mouth?
He exists outside of time because he was born in a place in which time does not exist.
-
What place?
-
Can't exist outside of time, and can't eat spirit. Also, no adding up levels.
I agree with existing out of time part, but he could consume spirits, and adding up levels I agree with.
-
It's not that easy to kill a spirit! Spirit Fire can do it, but it takes the persons own spirit energy to do so, and is usually a suicide attack if done to a powerful user.
Yet you're saying he can just eat them and suffer nothing? Yeah, no.
-
Desmaldo does it...In fact, he actually GAINS from doing so.
...'Course...He IS a spirit himself entrapped in a gun...But still, even so. This isn't unique.
-

I don't remember approving that.
-
...
You gave me his pic. XD Its the thing possessing Cero.
-
...
You gave me his pic. XD
I mean the spirit part.
-
You approved the entire thing...He doesn't work at all without that part.
-
Oh. Just re-read it. Yours only did it to its host, makes sense. Orph on the other hand is saying this guy eats spirits like dinner.
-
Well, yeah, you have a point. Although...There IS freaking Abel, much as I've argued against it...
-
Hikaru, the reason why it's so hard to kill spirits is mainly because it's hard to actually reach them, to do so you have to have something that exists on the same level as them. This is where Hound is able to "eat" spirits, his own spirit is created in such a way that has the ability to overpower and devour other spirits, just like those bird things you made, not every spirit would be the same, and Hound's is unique to him. It requires him to first devour the body, which allows for access to the spirit, as whatever he eats is bound to him for a short period of time, meaning if he ate lets say..Hiro, Hiro's spirit would be bound in Hound's stomach for a short period of time, in the short period of time Hound would be trying to devour his spirit with his own.
As for the time part it's because he was born in a place where Time didn't pertain and had no effect, another plane of existence, when Hound entered this plane of existence he kept that attribute, as he was never in the river of Time, he entered the spatial part of this dimension, but not the flow of Time.
As for Abel, he doesn't "eat" spirits, more along the lines of ripping them from their host body and trapping them within his arm, which grants him a large but quick boost of energy that he must vent, Hound is somewhat similar although he actually eats the spirit, effectively killing it. Unlike Abel he doesn't gain the knowledge and personalities of those he eats, as that's translated and turned into usable energy for him, Hound is something akin to a predator on both a physical and spiritual levels, he'll eat your body and spirit.
-
Some Spirits are stronger than others. So are you saying Hound can eat them all? No. There's got to be limits. He can't eat a spirit stronger than his own. And I still want to know what damn plane of existence he was born on that's outside of time. You need to either provide it, or no approval.
-
He has a way of getting past that, and there are limits, similar to that of a magic level, while used correctly a level one could be a level five. I was thinking that if Hound ate a PC there would be an internal spiritual battle, which me and the other player could play and if Hound loses then I guess the player survives.
And thinking about it the plane of existence is currently what encompasses the majority of the SP universe, this includes the multiverse along with the other dimensions, then there is the recently created void, an antithesis to existence in it's entirety. I was thinking of expanding that, as we've changed the backstory, the thing would basically be that the current plane of existence in which the SP dimension takes place, the one with Heaven/Hell/Multiverse.. Isn't the only one. This makes the thing even more infinitely big and brings out so much more possibilities.

Without even asking any of us first, right? No.

Limit it to only spirits that under his level. You're not getting approved till you do so. Look what happened with Abel? We let Koty through, we let Abel through, and soo many others that are godmodding. Not this one. Limit it.
And to the adding up levels? That's also no, pick a damn level.
-
FUCK YOU. I just created another plane. So yeah. Fuck you.
-
And yeah, I'm making another one. :P
And no, Hound's power is based off those he eats, but he can't excel what his human form can withstand, and he can't go out of the human form for fear of what he'll do, aka the diary entries. At the most he could become a level six, but that's only if he eats a large number of powerful enemies. He could if he ate a level five, have a CHANCE at eating a level six, but again, it would be dangerous for him to try, as a stronger spirit could destroy him when he tries to eat it, but there is still a chance he'd be able to devour one.

You can go as high as lvl6, but eating another one will not add another magic level. Get rid of it somehow, before you eat the next. Adding levels up isn't going to be allowed. Whether you say it's dangerous for him or not, that's creating a loophole for you to exploit later. Not happening. And I still say stronger spirits should overpower him. That's like a human trying to eat an elephant whole. They can't do it. So neither are you. Again, make it to where he can only eat spirits as strong or lower than his own.
And I'm STILL against creating more planes of existence till the rest of the freakin' staff is told and gets to talk about it. Otherwise, you're gonna confuse the hell out of the members.
-
FUCK THAT SHIT
MINES BETTER THAN YOURS
...In all seriousness, the problem I have with your separate plane is that we've yet to decide which existence layout we're using. The majority of staff formerly agreed with my model, but it was never officialized.
-
Even then K2, this is basically another DIFFERENT version of existence.
The thing is Hikaru a level six COULD overpower him if he's only level five at the time, but there is also the chance that Hound might win, seeing as nothing is absolute. And it would kinda limit creativity if we just said "Level fives can't beat level six spirits!" And of course, him trying to go any farther then level six would kill him, as his human form wouldn't be able to withstand it. Although he would still require to eat people and their spirits, as that's how he survives.
-
I still say no. This is basically just another Abel, except one absorbs and the other eats. You already have Abel, you don't need another one.
-
Actually, no it really isn't, although their abilities may be similar they have a very different backstory and motivation, that's like saying you can't have Rev AND Gen, because you have Rev, which Gen is basically a different gender clone of with a different magic.
-
Hey! Don't ignore this!
-
Please reply with anything that is holding you back form approving this character.
-
How easy is it for him to eat?
-
He has to kill the person before he can eat them..or at least bind them down if he wishes to eat them alive. Then it goes to an internal battle which me and the eaten dude will have another IC fight in Hound's stomach, if the eaten guy loses then Hound ate his spirit.
-
No. No eating spirits.
-
To fucking bad, nothing should be off limits.
-
Spirits are, because you're taking a persons damn existence!
-
And? It's doing so in a way that I have to kill the person TWICE, and if you lose twice in a row you deserve to have your existence eateded.
-
Except for that fact you can beat everyone on the damn board. Unless you limit yourself, no one stands a damn chance if your character comes for theirs. And the way you've said on AIM. You already have specific targets for no reason.
-
They'd be tasty, that's Hound's reasoning.
And that just gives you guys a reason to excel, nothing fastens growth like danger. :D
-
Not when you're targeting our fucking characters just because they're the strongest. Usually a person targets the weakest. You're going after anyone that's powerful or important. No, NO eating spirits.
-
So, your reason is that I'd be a threat? That's not grounds for disapproval.
-
When we want to keep the RP alive, yes it is.
-
No, it means that you're afraid of me, and you're to much of a coward to fight back IC. If you think I'm a threat, beat me. Simple as fucking that.
-
You said you'd go after the kids just because you didn't get one. That is NOT a reason.
-
That is an OOC reason, but IC if Hound discovered that they existed he would find them a meal all too tempting. Being a mix of many different breeds along with having divine blood he would very much enjoy them. :D
He'd most likely try to eat a lot of people on this board, starting with the more unique.
-
Yeah, everyone's favorite characters. Not happening. Not spirits.
-
Nothing should be off limits because off how much you're afraid of how good the person is, spirits are not indestructible, they can be destroyed, they can have natural predators, and they aren't off limits just because you say so.
-
I disagree. If you go by IRL, the soul is immortal, you can destroy the body but not the soul in religious belief. So why should spirits be able to be destroyed unless it's by very difficult means that have many drawbacks. (Spirit fire, takes the casters own life energy to use.) Absorbing, they're cursed, or other draw backs. But yours without a drawback? No, again, not happening.

IRL is because we're humans Hikaru, since when have normal everyday humans able to harm or even make any kind of contact with a soul? And the spirit is vulnerable because we understand it to a point, we know that it's the collective experience, personality, and physical existence of a person. And that is unnatural ways of killing off a spirit, Hound is a natural predator, he was born to do this. The basic philosophy of his character is that everything has a natural predator, evens humans had things that preyed on us. Although we beat them in the long run.
-
No. You had Abel have drawbacks. Either put damn drawbacks on this freak, or it's not getting approved.
-
Oh alright.
When Hound is attacking your spirit, after he's physically killed you, or is currently eating you alive. You have direct access to his spirit, as you're both technically fighting on the spiritual plane. Meaning you can kill him permanently as well, that is if you win, and kill him. And this has already been there, you guys just never fucking realized it.
-
Not enough of a drawback. I mean, eating spirits fucking damages him some way.
-
It wouldn't, because it's a natural function. Does eating food damage you? Because that's what spirits are to him, food. But eating someone allows for DIRECT access to his spirit, it's why it's so dangerous for him to eat a spirit that is stronger then him. Because it could just kill him, but not just like snap, killed. Would require a spiritual battle, which will be played out as a normal battle, although on the spiritual plane.
It doesn't Red, she just wants to tone down the character as much as possible because she's afraid of me having anything. :/
-
If it includes spirits there has GOT to be a damaging drawback. Spirits are a persons damn existence. You're not getting such fucking easy access to them as you want. No natural eaters of spirits. Not unless it curses him or SOMETHING.
-
You do realize he has to either bind you in such a way that you can't get out while he eats you alive, or has to kill you and then EAT you before he can even do a thing to your spirit? And no, there is no logical reason for a drawback, just because you say so.
-
This ability could be part of a curse, Orph. Maybe you'd be able to incorporate that into it?
-
It leaves him COMPLETELY vulnerable, if he ate lets say, Hikaru, and Hikaru beat him. It probably wouldn't be much of a stretch to say Hikaru would kill his spirit.
-
I know...Im just saying, she wants a curse. She never specified what KIND of curse involving this, eh?
-
Yo.
-
Eh. I think I still have approval ability, even though Im TECHNICALLY no longer a mod...So, since I dont really see anything wrong with him with all the setbacks, I approve.
-
Um no? I may not have approval power. But the planes of existence still doesn't fucking work and neither does eating spirits without a fucking drawback. And yes I do have the right to say that as I brought int he concept of spirits and spirit energy.
-
It does have a drawback, the fact that you don't beleive it's enough of a drawback is irrelevant.
-
It's relevant enough seeing as I brought the concept in.
-
Hik, if it hurts him, it doesn't make sense that he would want to eat them. The thing is, its sufficiently weakened...I dont get how he'd tone down the process any further.
-
He has to. Spirits shouldn't be that fucking easy to kill. YET AGAIN.
-
Totally easy to kill. I have to kill people twice. :/
-
Yeah, easy to kill. Considering the IMMORTAL SPIRIT (IRL - Soul) shouldn't be killable anyways!
Spirit Fire it can be, but Spirit Fire comes with life threatening fucking drawbacks.
-
And so does eating your spirit, as killing Hound there destroys his spirit.
-
Not threatening to his life when he won't lose.
-
...Desmaldo...Book of Revolations...Those both can kill spirits, Hik. They already exist.
...And whats to say he wont, Hik?
-
Revelation didn't kill spirits. It consumed it when the person died. And still didn't kill it.
Your thing... I have no idea bout what it is.
And the fact Orph would kill off every character on the damn fucking board!
-
Because I'm obviously invincible and unable to be beaten at any time ever, always.
-
Desmaldo? He eats spirits too. He IS a spirit sealed inside a gun. Haven't we gone over this already? In this topic, no less?
And Hik...That only applies if he cant be killed in there...Which he can...
-
Hiro, there's a difference between sealing and destroying a spirit.
I have to say that it would take damage for him to eat the spirit, regardless if he won the battle or not. Defeating the spirit in the battle is one thing, but eating it is another thing.
-
It makes no sense, though...What would his motivation be?
And I have one character who does what amounts to the same thing, though in a different manner. Desmaldo, the gun Possessing Cero, literally devours the spirits of those he possesses, and gains power from absorbing them into himself...So, I dont see what the problem about that is...
Though, since Hik is so adamant about it and wont let up, I guess you need to change the backstory anyway Orph...Unless you think up a good reason. Also, you need to apply the changes to the application.
-
Then Desmaldo shouldn't have been approved, Hiro. That was a flawed request. There has to be a drawback for doing so, aka damage. For this, Hound's spirit has to be damaged, too.
-
...There is a drawback to it...Desmaldo, is a gun. He himself is sealed within a gun, and has to operate through other vessels to actually do something on the outside world.
Again, different method. He literally absorbs their spirits into himself, which overpowers and overrides them. but he needs direct contact with the being in question, and to overpower their minds. Since he already has a vessel, he doesn't do this. Also, its not all at once, it rather takes a while to complete. Sure, he possesses them almost instantly, taking hold and corrupting their spirit(which is how Cursed Objects work), but it takes a while to actually devour their spirit in its entirety.
I said I had a character similar, not the same. It amounts to the same thing...But its not THE same. My point was, its possible for it to work.
-
Even rocks have their own spirits. I would say it would damage the gun's spirit in the process, though. This has the same concept as Hound, in terms of destroying the spirit and using its energy.
-
It wouldn't, because it's a natural function. Does eating food damage you?.
Well you know puffer fish is a food. And it can kill you. What you could do is have it that some peoples spirits are like pufferfish to him, or some other potentially poisonous food.
-
Yes. Eating food can damage you. Rotten meat can make you very ill. Tuna fish can contain mercury, which can be dangerous. Hell... having too much water can kill you. Hell... water fountains at school, for example, have some lead in them, which is toxic. You can overdose on nutrition. Cats can drink milk, but it would cause diarrhea. Drinking salt water would fry your liver and dehydrate you. It can be considered normal for one to drink water, as instincts tell you that it's water, thus you should drink it. Spirits would be on an extreme side of cases.
-
Exactly.
-
I understand that some spirits might be to toxic to him. D:
-
Some? More like all.
-
Especially those that are corrupted or tainted by something.
-
Not all spirits would be toxic to him, only those that have a negative quality to them.
As for parallel reality.
Well, I have another origin.
Outside of space and time, which includes the dimensional plane. But not quite within the void there used to be a small place where some free floating matter and energy existed, the reason why it was there is quite unknown. But, hundreds of free consciousnesses, entities that had never lived, never existed physically found the place. Greedily hoarding the matter. A few of those consciousnesses went to war with each other for the small scraps of matter and energy, killing each other off till only one remained. The remaining entity was Hound, literally born in war and greed. Hungry for more he entered the dimensional plane, soon becoming the type of "person" he was. Unable to satisfy the hunger he found within himself. More matter, more energy.
Just plain MORE.
-
ANY spirit WILL harm him, if he eats it. NO EXCEPTIONS, even if the victim is willing to be eaten, it WILL be considered toxic.
For your origin... I might have to say no to that. You're basically making up places, now. For example, I made some Aralang dimensions for myself, but the concept of dimensions has been 100% accepted, and has been accepted for a long time before I made them. This? You're basically making them up as you go along, potentially changing a lot of things over a character. I would think that it would be concept first, before character, otherwise you're just shaping the background stuff of SP by just making a character.
-
And what's wrong with that Gaser? By introducing the Aralangs you made sure that there were alternate universes, that changed a hell of a lot of stuff.
And that's retarded, so no, fuck you. Stop being a stubborn bitch and actually look it, not to mention your anti-spirit fluid.
-
There's parallel universes, but that's NOT because of the Aralangs. I didn't even understand the difference between dimensions and parallel universes a while ago.
When I requested ASEF, the concept on how spirits worked and all was already made.
-
so wait..
Is this character approved?
