Idea
The Pun Tyrant
(the horse, the rider is just a puppet crafted to intimidate enemies. The armor and sword came from a fallen immortal, a hunter)
Name: Venenum
Age: while he appears as a fully grown horse, he´s actually only three years old. He´s body will decompose from the acidic components inside him as he ages.
Gender: male
Race: Primal (horse)
Personality: intimidating-prankster-joker-hiding his own cowardice and constant fear-young-intelligent: Venenum is a scary-looking, scary-acting being. He often goes around pulling pranks, mocking and terrorizing, though in truth this is but an attempt to hide his actual cowardice. In battle, he is one that would rather flee and hide than get hurt, and avoids confrontation at great costs. He used his great intelligence to design a plan to do so too, using his power to control a puppet on his back that he uses to appear more frightening. His youth, however, shows in how naive he is about some things and his lack of certain awarenesses, but also in his energy.
History: Alchemy is a dangerous thing. Before you know it, mortals call you a monster, a curse, or they try to become monsters to fuel their own greed and steal your achievements. A lot of the best alchemists, the ones that lived longer and had more reasonable aspirations than reaching the point of "making anything into gold" hid away in secret caves, making findings they would only share on a secret society, if they even knew about that. But people who knew about them still searched, and the substance known as "phosphorus" came quite in handy. They began using it, scaring off persuers, reliving and retelling the myths of a particular text that inspired their discovery of the substance... and without knowing, awakened a being that was struck in the depths, a whole kin. Formed after the fall of his latest ancestor, Venenum rose up not in the depths like the prior horse primals had been, near the phosphorus, but where it was now: a particular alchemist´s laboratory. Venenum relunctantly allowed the alchemist to use him as means of studying his substance, in return for shelter against possible hunters. However, eventually a hunter did show up. And another. And another. The alchemist kept his promise, lying and disguising the primal, but eventually one hunter saw through it. The alchemist did what he could, trying to harm the hunter but only succeeding in annoying him. Venenum would be easy prey now, but the alchemist had one last trick, and hurled the purest bottles of phosphorus, taken directly from Venunum himself, at the hunter´s face. The hunter was thus injured, lost his sight. At this, Venenum attacked, and managed to defeat the hunter. The alchemist aided in assembling a trick that would help Venenum to scare off other possible enemies, before dying off from poisoning.
Energy: Phosphorus - depending on the doseage and circumstance, phosphorus is flamable, toxic or acidic. Acidic doses will pour out from parts of his body that are hit harder, and his spit can melt rocks, and more. Alternatively, he can poison those who touch him or injest/get injected with something he touched and chose to poison. The power is not without consequences, though. He has a hard time speaking loudly, and having to turn too fast can give him a strong feeling of nausea. The ability to set his phosphorus abalze in combination with help that has a heating or sparking ability is a double-edged sword, in that it can be used to set him on fire (not that it is so easy to kill him). Lastly, he can control and even speak through the puppet on his back, which is filled with phosphorus.
Energy Type: Basic (for now)
Other:
-lack of thumbs or workable tail leaves him unable to hold objects or do any activity that requires opposing thumbs.
(Include alternate forms, or if your character is a fusion)
