Power Origin
One day, Askeladd caught a massive serpent using an ox head as bait. He pulled and tugged at the fishing line for hours, but it wouldn’t budge. Desperate, he called his family for help, and together they hauled the line with all their strength. Suddenly, the serpent, stretching over a mile long, burst from the lake. Its eyes locked onto Askeladd, who still clutched the fishing rod, and it struck. The serpent coiled around him and swallowed him whole.
Inside, the air was freezing, and burning acid seared his skin. It was dark and lonely, an inescapable void. In desperation, Askeladd clawed his way through the serpent’s insides, tearing and eating his way out until he emerged from its stomach. As he did, the serpent seemed to glitch, flickering out of existence. It completely disappeared and left Askeladd and his family in confusion. Weeks passed by, and the ordeal left him gravely ill.
Now, his body sometimes splits into two, creating a haunting echo of himself. He feels every sensation this echo experiences, every tear and rift. Every vision and smell. Every touch and pain. The thought haunts him—each time he uses this strange power, is he slowly destroying and harming himself? What if he, too, is just an echo, a mere copy that hasn’t yet realized its own illusion? He wonders, if he were in the position of his echo, how would it feel to be just a copy, to throw oneself into danger for the sake of another? He has not been injured hard enough to know that, and he does not want to find out.
Goals
After gaining his power and noticing that people had grown more fearful of him. He decided to prepare and leave town, decided to seek out the serpent once more. Despite his family's concerns (the only people who support him with his new power), they say they farewell and hope he succeeds on his journey to the West or East. He is actually lost and finds himself being lost here.
Powers and Abilities
He has 23 in passive perception and very observant to his surrounding. No doubt because he has twice as many sense because of his echo. Despite being a fisherman, he carry a greataxe that he swings to chop down log or enemy.
