D'Kacilius Venrai is a Amethyst Dragonborn Hexblade who is solely devoted to his service to Silent, the Arbiter of Death. (Information on your heritage/background/class)

(Note: Because apparently all Gem Dragonborn have names that start with "D", "Kacilius" is now "D'Kacilius", but the "D" is silent, which makes a great pun? Idk.)

(WIP until I make myself finish this properly)

Physical Appearance

D'Kacilius is an Amethyst Dragonborn, but the constant exposure to death energy has warped his appearance. He has deep black-purple skin, milky sliver eyes, and several dark horns. He commonly wears silvered deep-purple robes with a silver lined cape and purple hooded cloak.

Personality

To most people, D'Kacilius is overeager and dangerous. Described by some as "unhinged", "extreme", a "blind zealot" and much more, even Silent is slightly concerned about D'Kacilius. However, the only thing D'Kacilius cares about is his devotion to the Arbiter of Death.

This is due to his upbringing: For his entire life, D'Kacilius was taught one thing: Complete devotion to the Arbiter of Death through any means. Whether it was through slaughter, sacrifice, profane rituals, or more, all that mattered was true devotion.

In truth, D'Kacilius could be considered naïve, as he hasn't had much experience of society outside of the Whispered Reapers. Upon entering the Greedy Green (and several near-death experiences), D'Kacilius has begun questioning some of these ideals.

However, there is always one thing that D'Kacilius believes in.

"Death is common. Death is inevitable. There are just some who bring it quicker for most, and I am one of them."

History

D'Kacilius is an ancient dragonborn, not in age, but in type.

D'Kacilius' egg was found, abandoned in a cave, next to several extremely aged dragonborn skeletons. His egg lay dormant in an isolated crevice

Two weeks after Silent was released, a group

Languages

D'Kacilius knows the following languages:

• Common (cause it's Common)
• Draconic (cause he's a dragonborn)
• Abyssal (cause death cult/forbidden knowledge reasons)
• Infernal (also death cult/forbidden knowledge reasons)

Powers and Abilities

D'Kacilius is adept in both magic and martial weaponry.

As a Gem Dragonborn, he is able to sprout spectral wings for limited flight (Gem Flight), breathe and resist pure magic energy (Breath Weapon/Draconic Resistance), and talk telepathically to others (Psionic Mind).

When Silent was released from their prison, D'Kacilius noticed a growth in his magic. He was now able to curse a target, causing his attacks to deal more damage (Hexblade's Curse), and summon stronger weapons into existence to wield against enemies (Pact of the Blade). Additionally, his magical abilities were augmented, allowing him to cast more potent blasts of energy (Agonizing Blast) and further honed his melee fighting capabilities (Hex Warrior/Thirsting Blade).

At range, D'Kacilius usually snipes at targets from afar with pure magical energy (Eldritch Blast), and can also grab a person's soul, preventing them from healing (Chill Touch). He can also scatter groups of energy at range with thunderous power (Shatter).

If things get nasty, D'Kacilius has a variety of close combat defensive spells. He can summon a storm of spectral blades that slash nearby enemies (Sword Burst), conjure frost armor that freezes melee assailants (Armor of Agathys), create a shimmer that makes him harder to hit (Blur), and teleport to safety while leaving behind a disrupting sonic boom (Thunder Step). He is also able to interrupt spells (Counterspell) and remove magical effects (Dispel Magic).

Attacks and Weapons

Previously, D'Kacilius' Hexblade weapon was a glaive. After a fight in Tristram's theater involving Mother Peace, D'Kacilius found a peculiar sword being sold at Arms de Armas: a Sword of Vengeance that fed the souls of those slain by the sword to Silent. Obviously, D'Kacilius immediately bought it to prove his devotion to the Arbiter of Death. The "Deathglaive" title and weapon have now been replaced with the "Deathblade".

Random Info Dump (aka the "I-Hate-My-Life" Counter)

-Has hilariously bad/sad luck for every session so far

• During the fight with Mother Peace, the premodifier damage would have left D'Kacilius at exactly one hit point. Then James added the modifiers -_-
• Rolled a Nat 0 (Nat 1 with a -1 mod to Int) and determined that the Pradassis Mining Conglomerate is a front for a mob.
• One bugman was taken to very low health during the mining expedition. D'Kacilius swung at it twice- and left it at exactly one hit point.
• One Robocentaur overkilled D'Kacilius by one hit point.

-Sadly incompetent at killing (see above). Only "real" kill is an elk stag during a hunting session taken while preparing to enter the mine.

-Technically the third iteration of Kacilius. Kacilius is a "template character" that embodies my favorite things from D&D, so the character's race/class/background/personality has been used in other campaigns. The first version was killed by some ghouls who crit three times IN A ROW. The second version rolled a Nat 1 for a Dispel Magic- for a 9th level Imprisonment- and got sent to Pandemonium. There has a fourth version, who got screwed over by the party during the final session and got demoted from his original intended position. Hopefully D'Kacilius (Version 3) doesn't get screwed over any further. He's already suffering and so am I
