Weapons/Specialized Tools: Gram

Weaknesses: Volund lacks the skillset and inclination for any sort of ranged combat barring the odd distraction rock. Even his resilient physiology and casual disregard for pain have their limits, and in the end he may be slain like most other men.

Appearance: Volund is man standing about 6'8, with a massive sword on his back. His short black hair is decorated with a single strip of red cloth, and he is wearing mismatched armor. The armor on his lower body seems to be the oldest, and most likely belonged to an ancestor. His body is heavily muscled, and Volund seems to have no fat on his personage. His face has a kind cast to it, and is unscarred.

Brief History:

Volund Dragonslayer, Son of Rennen the Iron, Son of Volruud Trollsbane, Son of Carr Dragonslayer

Volund was born far to the north in the frozen tundra wastes where he lived with his tribe as his ancestors did. His childhood was spent wandering the tundra and far forests with his father, learning the old ways of his people. In the Winter, they would move from their family hall south. In Spring, they would return. His days were simple, and he loved them.

As months turned to years, it became time for Volund Dragonslayer, Son of Rennen the Iron, Son of Volruud Trollsbane, Son of Carr Dragonslayer to leave home for his Proving. Volund traveled far across the frozen tundra and windswept forests, until he reached his family's old home. His great grandfather's tree still lay in it's center, with a massive blade thrust into it. Pulling free his ancestor's blade, Gram, Volund set about carving himself a path to glory as proof of his manhood, and began heading to the softer southlands, to see what beasts and challenges await.

Weapon Name: Gram

Possessor(s): Volund, son of Rennen the Iron

How was it created?: The legendary blade Gram was forged with the metal from a meteorite which fell in the day of his ancestor, Carr. It's appearance is largely that of conventional steel, but it seems to be much stronger, more flexible, and heavy than normal. It was forged by hand in his ancestor's forge. It is composed of many non-terrestrial elements, as well as several heavy earth elements such as Tungsten.

What can it do?: The Slayer of Fafnir: Gram was a blade crafted for slaying the mightiest of creatures, and something about it's unusual composition and history seems to have made it particularly effective at slaying creatures of larger-than-normal size. Somehow, the blade's strength seems to increase proportionally to the size of the beast it strikes. In addition, it seems to develop it's own ability to slay specific categories of creature, after tasting enough of them.

Adaptation Through Battle: The legendary blade Gram possesses another ability specific to it, allowing it to adapt and develop new strengths by slaying enough things with desired characteristics. The actual number of things it must slay and drink in the essence of depend on the strength of the creature in question. Weaker creatures can require a great many to produce any effects. It may also develop resistances to specific attacks after repeated exposure. This does not extend to mundane attacks such as blades or arrows. The current list of adaptations it bears are as follows:

Solari Fire Resistance
Hydra's Blood Regen
Demon's Blood: Astral Edge- Gram exists on all planes, allowing it to harm Ethereal and spiritual creatures.
Hope Devourer: When Volund enters into a berserk state, Gram begins devouring willpower and energy from the local area.

Name: Alchimous Gord

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Lineage: Not applicable.

Age: 27

Alignment: Neutral Good

Religion: None.

Grace/Racial Powers: Alchimous is able to gain in depth knowledge of and rapidly shape any material she has within arms’ reach. The speed of the change is dependent on the complexity of the result, however, so long as it remains within reach the size is not a limiting factor. Use of her Grace is dependent on her hands and sight.

Talents/Skills: Crafting and enchanting. This includes but is not limited to woodwork, metalwork, and gemcraft.

Weapons/Specialized Tools: Her weapons are what she has on hand. Most often this is a set of mithril tools.

Weaknesses: While she is moderately strong and intelligent for a human, she is still human. Compared to most things listed here, that itself is a weakness. Her morality can, in certain circumstances be considered a weakness.

Appearance: Alchimous possesses straight, deep burgundy hair which reaches to the bottom of her shoulder blades. She keeps this in a tight bun while working but leaves it to flow freely otherwise. She has almond shaped hazel eyes and possesses a smattering of freckles across strong, northern features.

She is a taller woman, standing at roughly 6 feet 3 inches(1.9 meters). The majority of her body is sun tanned, covering what would have been fair, freckled skin. She has wide shoulders and possesses somewhat defined muscles. Her upper body is notably more defined than lower and her hands are calloused and rough, ending in long, dexterous fingers.

Brief History: Born in the Void Knight Outpost in the Southern Sea to a long line of Void Knights. She left the outpost once she was an adult to explore the Southern Sea. She settled for several years on an island and developed most of her skills. She recently came to the mainland to further learn and study. "There is no Good or Evil, no Light or Dark, Order or Chaos. Just knowledge and your own ability to know when to stop. And if you knew when to stop, you'd never achieve the impossible."
