Name: Aster Grimbald
Aliases: The Necromancer
Race: Unknown canine
Sex: Male
Age: Unknown
Height: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Personality: Cold, solitary, vindictive, knowledgeable, malevolent, jealous, proud, soft spoken and intimidating. While not the quickest thinker, Aster has absorbed a great wealth of knowledge in his lifetime, capable of extending it to capable minions under his control. He's not known to have any living allies.
Clothes Style: Long heavy robes covering most of his body
Location: Unknown
Occupation: Former software developer for a robotics corporation on the east coast.
Traits/Abilities: Necromancy Curse that allows him to raise the dead to do his bidding; Aster is capable of stealing or capturing souls and can use them to raise a corpse from a skeleton to a recently deceased body, the fresher the more powerful and capable he can make it. The process is not instantaneous as he may spend up to two hours on a skeleton and up to twelve one of his more powerful zombies. A large drawback to Aster's power is how it has corrupted his physical form, making him practically a walking corpse. He has a menacing aura everywhere he goes that anyone can feel, his haunting eyes are just a window to his malevolence and enough to paralyze or send someone running upon meeting them. There's a constant odor of decay in his presence and he's lost all feeling in his body.
Augmentations: Synthetic muscles to retain mobility after his old flesh rotted away, alloy enamel coating over his bones to protect his skeletal structure, aether batteries and filters in place of organs, near indestructible claws on his fingers and various sensors on his body.
Prominent Skills: Programming, hacking, robotics, medicine, cybernetics, energy based weapons (laser guns, coil guns, hardlight weapons), explosives, torture and navigation.
Typical Gear: Personal war scythe, bolt gun, body armor, old laser rifle with charge pack
Allies: His undead army
Background: Aster wasn't always a powerful undead being, working as a brilliant software developer in the Empire Corridor for a few years until his curse awakened. With the alterations to his physical form he was quickly labelled a freak and was ostracized for it. In spite for his haters he struck back and quickly discovered his gift when he raised he raised his first kill back from the dead. He would vengefully pursue his tormentors until he had a hit put on him, causing Aster to flee from the city and head south. As he traveled the Necromancer developed a grudge against all life, his goal changing from escaping it to destroying and corrupting it. When he reached Arlington National Cemetery he realized his means to completing such a mission and proceeded to awaken the long dead bones out of their graves. Many years later the Necromancer has amassed an entire legion of undead, with the numbers continuously growing as fast as he can raise them. Not only does he have numbers, but materials and means of production as well with his forces running factories to supply his army with weapons, armor and tech when they're not terrorizing local populations and travelers. Aster isn't above getting personally involved with such affairs, sometimes torturing and brutally killing some of his victims when he isn't watching his undead extinguish them. He's truly earned his fearsome reputation within his current region, more than eager to expand it as he gains forces.
