Character Info
Profile
A pleasant, fashionable man of vaguely Mediterranean or perhaps Middle-Eastern appearance. Just one of many in the city.
Timeline
Timeline:
* 41,500 BCE: Atrun-Rai is born to a small merchant family in the city-state of Lantala, one of
the seven kingdoms of Atlantis during its relative infancy as a power.
* 41,495 BCE: Searched
out by the Wise Maidens (a Lantalan magical society) thanks to his sensed magical potential, Atrun-
Rai is sent to the Red Palace to be educated in the sorcerous arts.
* 41,485 BCE: Ascends
readily through the ranks of the student body; shows particular affinity for cosmic arts, dealing
with the dimensions and its creatures. Enlisted into the ranks of the Amatakoi, a society of spirit-
banishers and exorcists.
* 41,478 BCE: Becomes one of the primary exorcists of the Amatakoi.
Eventually is called to the court of Estuan IV of Lantala, where he becomes Court Magician after
wresting the spirit of Xaja'uul the Sorrow from Princess Jalusa.
* 41,467 BCE: Is contacted
by agents of a shadowy organization called the Mestales, or Salt Brotherhood. A group of magicians
from all stripes of Atlantean society, the Mestales are concerned about the rapidity of sorcerous
growth in Atlantis, and sees an increase of possessions and other dark portents as a sign that the
dark powers of Nullspace and other dimensions are slowly encroaching on this reality. They seek to
fight this at every turn.
* 41,465 BCE: Two years of sharp increase of spiritual infections
and possessions in Lantala, known locally as the Plague of Black Tears, it is discovered by members
of the Mestales that a dimensional fissure has opened deep beneath Lantala in the very foundations
of the continent. It is here from which the dark spirits and other monsters that the Mestales and
the Amatakoi battled over the past decades, and it was swiftly expanding - a smaller, trial run of
the terrible rift that would later open and be sealed by Merlyn and the Vishanti. Later in the year,
armed with spells and magic weapons, the Mestales descended into the depths of the continent, where
they found the rift open wide; a great battle took place between the creatures of the Void and the
Atlantean sorcerors, and many were killed on either side. Eventually, with certain defeat looming
large, Atrun-Rai sacrifices himself by using himself as a wellspring of positive energy,
annihilating the manifested creatures and sealing the rift - but not before he could be consumed by
the forces beyond. Atrun-Rai's name disappears into the annals of early Atlantean history, and is
forgotten by all but magicians and historians.
* December, 2021 AD: After many millenia the
threat of the end of Earthly reality causes the namess Old One that consumed Atrun-Rai to decant him
once more, this time as a creature of the Void itself. Though intelligent and sane, and still
bearing his old personality and powers, the powers of the Void that spawn him direct him to act to
preserve reality at all costs, so that the Old Ones will not be denied their final victory over the
material world. They believe there will be no place in a remade creation, and though they can only
intervene a little due to the rules of the cosmos, Atrun-Rai will serve as their champion.

Personality
Driven:
Already a driven man in his living years, the singlemindedness of the Old Ones has magnified
this to a great degree.
Haunted:
The Void is a tidal thing, from an everpresent, cold lull to a roaring crest of howling hunger.
Often Atrun-Rai can exist with the roar of the darkness pushed back, but it can also overwhelm him,
driving him into a quiet, cold despair.
Hopeful:
Despite all that has happened, despite the monstrostity that consumed him and to which he is
tethered, Atrun-Rai believes that better things can be born of horror and strives on because of
this.
Pleasant:
When not affected by bouts of depression or gravitas thanks to his harrowing, Atrun-Rai is
actually quite pleasant, even gregarious.
Character Sheet
Powers
Apocalyptic Manifest:
Can manifests the Starry Maw, an aspect of the Old Ones that is essentially a small but
extremely strong portal into Nullspace and (usually) disintegration. Meant to consume threats to
reality, the Maw is corrosive to the minds of normal people to behold, and once its manifestation is
complete he will be banished to the Black Pyramid for a time before he may return, or if the threat
is strong enough, possibly never again. The nature of the Maw is, however, one of a self-sealing
wound, and as it takes Atrun-Rai with it once vanishing leaves only a slight scar on reality upon
disappearance. Usually irresistable to many lesser beings, but greater creatures may simply be
damaged or drained by it if affected at all.
Darksight:
Can see perfectly in total darkness, either magical or normal.
Enhanced Strength:
Possesses up to 1 ton lifting/applied strength.
Font of Sorcery:
Can use magical spells and relics/items. His spells are of Old Atlantis and of the timeless
Void, though 'modern' magic is also usable once learned.
Limited Shapeshifting:
Can extrude tendrils or pseudopods from his body as extensions of its unnatural, void-produced
matter. Extends strength and serves as prehensile limbs up to ten feet away.
Shield of the Void:
Atrun-Rai cannot be mind-controlled by creatures of this reality, and to mystical sight appears
as a 'blur', albeit a dark one, that defies easy identification. Telepathy or mind-reading is
possible, but difficult, and depending on the directions one takes into his memory can prove
dangerous to one's sanity.
Unnatural Health:
Can shrug off nonmagical bullets and hand-to-hand weapons. Will regenerate wounds over time, but
only in the presence of the Black Pyramid or, to a lesser degree, Nullspace in general.
Unnatural Stamina:
Possesses stamina many times over a normal human.
Skills
Ancient Knowledge:
Has a significant knowledge of magical lore and history of the ancient world and dimensions. Has
been imbued with sufficient knowledge of the modern day to operate without anachronism.
Hand-To-Hand Combat:
Can use hand-to-hand weapons skillfully, especially swords, knives, and spears/lances as was
common in his day. Can also use tendrils/pseudopods in combat as the same.
Languages:
Can understand most languages on Earth, as most source from the tongue of ancient Atlantis, but
cannot necessarily speak them.
Resources
Black Pyramid:
A place within the benighted realms of Nullspace. It is an ancient temple to the Old Ones, now
serving as library and living quarters for Atrun-Rai. Nightmarish black pyramid that floats above
the blasted landscape of the place where it is moored, it is a place for the sorceror to exist
safely and recuperate wounds or draining of Nullspace energy that might otherwise dispel
him.
Tools of the Trade:
Equipped with a wide variety of magical implements, some from Old Atlantis that he previously
owned and some that are obviously of blasphemous Nullspace origin. None are magical in and of
themselves, but allow for the casting of spells and rituals.
Weaknesses
Animal Hatred:
Animals sense his unnatural essence and will either flee in terror or attempt to attack him if
cornered. This does not count sentient animals, but they will still be affected with a strong sense
of distaste and suspicion.
Bound By Purpose:
All actions must, if seeming sometimes inexplicable, direct toward preservation of
reality.
Echoes of Old Atlantis:
In the presence of Old Atlanteans or its relics, Atrun-Rai will occasionally relive the events
leading to his consumption by the Old Ones. This manifests as a reverie from which he cannot be
easily roused, and can be most inconvenient, even dangerous. Also tends to affect some fashions of
Old Atlantis (his beard and hair, for example, or his accent) which may seem peculiar.
Enemy of Creation:
While he exists to try and save Earthly reality, he is still a disease that is inflicted upon
it. In his presence, entropy manifests faster than normal -- batteries drain faster, plants become
more fragile, etc. This is primarily a cosmetic effect, but it can clue in those who might be tied
into such things.
Magical Vulnerability:
Vulnerable to magical weapons and spells, especially magics employed against the Void.
Banishment will send him back to the Black Pyramid for a period of time depending on the effect used
against him.
No Succor From the Void:
While Atrun-Rai can cast spells of healing and restoration, they are ALWAYS drawn from the
energies of Nullspace; this will have strange, sometimes horrible side effects. Similarly, no
restorative spell or method will work on him that is not of Nullspace.
Shackled To Darkness:
Being a living extrusion of the Old Ones that consumed him, Atrun-Rai is a creature of
Nullspace, and as such must remain tethered to his patrons and that dimension until somehow
restored. His existence may be immediately revoked with disloyalty.
Unnatural Simulacrum:
Made of extragalactic matter, flesh and blood do not appear normal to science; giveaway of
unnatural essence, though most science cannot explain the nature of substances. Medicine will not
work outside of raw physical techniques (bone setting, pulling out arrows and bullets, etc.)
