Hound Eteri
« on: September 11, 2010, 03:53:12 PM »
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.
Appearance:

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.

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.

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.

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.

...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.
