History: Once a sorcerer knight by a name he is yet to find out, but who was better known as "scavenger" over his shameless actions to take every last bit of spoil from anything he found, Kneckt was caught by the mantids when the kingdom he served as a knight went to war with a nearby hive, albeit the neighbourong kingdoms simply watched. Over a year, he was transformed into a mantid and stripped of all his memories. It wasn't long before the queen recognized him as more than just a meat shield, however, and he was assigned to create new weaponry for his fellow mantid. He cruelly , shamelessly and remorseslly experiemented on anything and any material he was given, until the day when he had to leave to test a new weapon, and ended up getting arrowed down , deeply wounded.
Out of compassion, a young boy (an elf) took him in and treated his wounds. Kneckt found his free will restored now that his remaining antennae were broken and the course of the fluid was cut. He befriended the boy, who continued to nurse him to health, while Kneckt relearned the fluent language and continued to extract the fluid out of himself, testing it on several occasions. As Kneckt recovered, the boy found out about the transformation mantid did and explained his brother had gone missing. Knowing he was probably already considered either dead or a traitor, Kneckt stroke a deal with the kid to escape with him and his friends , and in return he would try to find his brother.
They agreed and departed , and soon found themselves ambushing a genemancer and Kneckt used the fluid to get him to spill out how to reverse the process . However, it worked too well, and Kneckt learned more than he hoped: he learned the swarm was being tricked by the genemancers who had long since let the queen die in her mind and were merely using her to control the swarm. In addition he learned the truth about himself, about what he used to be.
Kneckt saved he boy's brother, using a series of igridients they had to search for and in some cases, buy. The strangeness of the ingridients bought called the attention of the princess of the inumimi kingdom , to which they had crossed over into, who arrested the boy only to release him and follow him. Knecket realized this, however, and was able to hide himself until the princess had left again. By tailing her, though, he learned of his former identity.
He decided to settle down and start an alchemy business. He was quite successful, though none knew of his species, albeit they did know of the great love potion for which he was famous, a potion designed to save the marriages of nobles and peaseants alike. What few knew was the main ingridient and the consequences for absufing the potion. Against Knekckt's recommendations , a lady took too much of the love potion and ended up committing suicide for sorrow over her husband leaving for a hunt.
This led the king of this kingdom to ban all alchemy. Kneckt continued to run his business, albeit underground and forbidding himself from ever making love potions again. He was still found and arrested once, however, and he met the princess agin, who recognized in him Scavenger, the knight who had tutored her and for whom she had fallen. She tries to stop the execution, but it proceeded, with Kneckt escaping at the last second.
Kneckt roamed the world, collecting things, learning about things, mastering the arts of research, acquisition and trade. He finally settled down with an extremely secretive shop for all kinds of mystical or nautical-based products , disguised as a pawn shop.
Personality: Kneckt is a geeedy and resourceful creature who values his own freedom beneath only his own life. He is intelligent, quick-witted and soft spoken, although his memory occasionally fails him. He will stand up for the oppressed but not the weak, only focusing on the objective needs to accomplish particular goals. In fact, he lacks enphathy overall, fact that he has come to accept as part ochre "business perspective".
He is hardworking and diligent, but easily swayed by cheap and eats offers or large sums of money. He is not the kind to take revenge though, nor one to fall for tricks with such ease, as he is quite cowardly.
He can be a gold listener and he is loyal to his word as a business man, and would only lie to save his own skin or to preserve a great secret.
He often mutters things when angry or tense and tends to think about his past with sorrow, sometimes even becoming over dramatic about it.
Powers:
*he has the powers inherent to his race and any he acquires through his potions and items
*he has some developing magical powers , but it allows little more than some additional interaction with magical objects at this point .
Other:
*Kneckt is part of the mantid race, a race of insectoid creatures with a set of four antennas and four to eight arms, being that the bottom two reassemble a mantis's and the upper two have developed side blades that can easily carve into things, although it is hardly necessary as their fingers and feet alone can do it, not to mention their wings. Although certainly hardened by their exoskeletons, Mantid are lacking in strength and endurance, compensating with agility and overall speed: movement, reflexes and flight alike. Mantid have no sense of individuality in their culture , being that few mantid have any will to speak of, and instead use the telepathic vibration to receive orders and thoughts from their queen, the supreme ruler of the mantid.The few that do stand out become either paragons (specialists given freedom by the queen, later preserved in amber until such a time as they are necessary) or genemages, mantid who are gifted in their particular magic - sapamber magic, vibration magic and gene magic- and become envoys and strategists for the queen, while also being in charge of keeping her alive, by manipulating her genes and rejuvenating her. Most mantid are born male, being that any female will be immediately banished with an assigned genemancer. They mate on regular intervals with the queen , who instigates the fluids in their body normally used to force them into submission to make them proper to mate with. Another method of attaining new mantid is through kidnapping other species and having genemancers encase them in amber and transform them into mantid over a year, being that queen removes their will and previous memories, except their skills. At the end of the process, they have two of their antennae cut off to signal their lower rank. Mantid live in massive hidden cities of amber called hives, normally found in deep forests, caves, tunnels or mountains. They are sensitive to loud sounds and other forms of high pitch or intense vibrations (More may be added later)
*extremely skilled and knowledgeable alchemist, biologist and researcher of the magical/fantasy world, being aware of the properties , extractions and applications of virtually everything in it- from the smallest part of the most exotic creature, from the foggiest legendary weapon, to the magical value of the dust of a deep mountain pebble.
*He owns two great weapons- his pair of amber blades forged for him while he still served the queen, and one of his favorite creations kzkxidta: two shapeshifting swords, one of light and one of darkness , created from the respective essences. They can only wielded by a perfectly neutral force and can burn or consume things with respectively evil or good intentions. Because even the slightest flunctuation of will may result in the wielders death or worse, Kneckt rarely uses the latter.
*he owns the magicomium , a book storing an infinite space that can be shaped by the owner. Within this book, Kneckt keeps his nearly endless collection of potions, materials, weapons, etc... everything his collected through his years of research and trade.
