He’s helpful as can be…but he’s off putting, for such a nice guy he…well kinda is scary.”
Known History:
Bio: There is no record of the man named Antony Norse. There is no computer file, no birth certificate. There is no data on file. Many ask where he came from, for many it is and will remain a mystery like the man himself. The only thing that seems to provide a link to a past is presented in a portrait that bears an uncanny resemblance to him. When asked about it he simply replies. “An old relative.”
Though looking beyond his past and into the present the hooded figure known as Eldritch only began patrolling the area around the New Gotham City Library about a year ago. A shadowy figure, and the screams of victims were thought to be caused by some sort of monster. Though citizens fears were semi-relived when they found that the screams were from thugs. The shadowy figure was called Eldrtich because…he was an Eldritch figure. Unknowable, eerie, generally weird. Helpful yes…but off putting. As the neighborhoods slept soundly, gang members had to watch their backs. Lest their proverbial and literal boogeyman find them, and subdue them until police can bring them in.
The real story behind Antony Norse, is that he's old, far older than most people. Some knowledge is not meant to be found. Some texts not to be read. It was in 1371 that an Italian named Antonio Ontan while working on digging graves for the victims of the black death, discovered one victim clutching a book, curious he took it. upon reading the tome, he was beset by bizarre texts that made little to no sense. What they did detail were powerful rituals, that could cause great destruction or healing. As it was the black death, Antonio sought the later. He became obsessed with the book. Pouring over the tome as the slowly died around him. Yet in performing these rituals...he was successful...it promoted health...but, it only his.
He was aghast to see himself untouched by the plague, yet all others were dying in droves. What further surprised him was the powers he developed from the text, deep and dark magics that scared him. He fled his fair city, and moved north. Years passed, he didn't die...he didn't age. He stayed the same. Centuries passed, he adopted the name Antony Norse, he moved around never staying in one place for two long. Though as soon the new world opened up, he moved there, one promising spot was the new colony called Gotham. He lived in the city, watched it grow. He also got to see it's death. in the 10 years in seeing the constriction of new Gotham, he wondered...had he helped...had he fought, would the city that had been his home for nearly 4 centuries be standing. So... when New Gotham was made... he decided this time...he had an arsenal of other worldly magic...and he was going to use it to protect the city .
Other: Nope
(plus side I got over my writers block negative side...This character is...does this even work? Also I always wanted to use the King in Yellow as a character picture...yeah HP Lovecraft?)
Interesting take on a hero. I accept it and want to see where you go with that character.
