Alkereth is a paradox born from an incomprehensible dimension. Not human, but
made up of the stuff from other worlds, bequeathed with puzzling abilities. He
is almost always astride Lunrath. Realmwalkers both, bound eternally to follow
the dark path.
......................Name: Alkereth
......................Age: Revealed in roleplay to be over 100!
......................Gender: Male
......................Species: Aetherian,
otherworldly......................Ethnicity: ???
......................Height: 6'2"
......................Status: Completely infatuated with a Mordecai
......................Occupation:
Harbinger: In essence, a Harbinger is one who brings omen and prophecy. Blessed (or cursed) with foresight, it is Alkereth's responsibility to herald warning to realms in preparation for calamity. He is known as the Horseman of Omen. Unfortunately, Alkereth's presence is often deemed unlucky, and so the man chooses a lonely existence with only Lunrath as his constant and unwavering companion.
Curator: Strange and alien pieces, largely mind-boggling and confounding by nature, are brought to an inaccessible world for the purpose of research and safeguarding potentially dangerous and powerful objects. This curious museum of delights and eldritch wonders is simply called Preservation, guarded and tended to by the watchful eyes of its mysterious Sentinels; and their master, an ancient being that goes by no name except for one simple title: the Caretaker, whose purpose is to catalog and archive the secrets of the universe. Alkereth serves as one of Preservation's many curators.
Priest: There was a time when Alkereth was part of a magical order as its High Priest, serving under the light god Lazamar. For personal reasons, Alkereth left, much to the Order's chagrin. They are looking for their Brother and the powerful seal he made off with. Despite everything, Alkereth has not lost his faith, and clings to the title as a simple roving priest.Residence: ???
Physical Description: In the experience of any stray eye, Alkereth is generally unforgettable. He is just too...
strange. Tall, thin, wiry muscled; his is a physique made for speed and melee weapons. Hair as pale as moonlight, and eyes scarlet as a fresh wound, many would be forgiven for mistaking his resemblance to some demon. His skin exudes a sweet alyssum smell, and something else, like dust... and blood. Inscrutable, and oft solemn of countenance, the pallid face was never
usually decorated with a smile. There is no warmth on this man, only a chill, which makes any contact an unpleasant experience.
Personality: Generally a closed book, and impassive as stone. Loneliness left him embittered, but never cruel. Reluctant to get close, but starved for affection.
Relationships: N/A
History: Alkereth's breeding was considered sacrilege. His mother brought home a tiny babe wrapped in soft silk under the light of a blood moon, but the people saw him and felt only fear. To whom was the child sired, and why did his eyes share the same shade as the shadowed moon? As a symptom of his strangeness, the boy never had a flicker of emotion on his face, or his voice. As tradition dictates, the people gave the child a name, and so they gave him a cruel and unlucky calling, 'Alkereth'— a name which means 'Red as the Omen Moon'.

𝔈𝔩𝔡𝔯𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥 𝔖𝔩𝔞𝔶𝔢𝔯𝔗here comes a time when Alkereth's mission is interrupted by those in possession of a so-called 'greater will'. Years of traversing realms that baffles imagination have tempered Alkereth's blade and resolve to cut down those whom oppose him. Of course, these feats are usually accomplished with an assembled team. Alkereth cannot be expected to kill these dark abominations alone.
No matter how terrifying, or how vastly intelligent a cosmic horror, nothing is enough to stay Alkereth's blade. Problematic elder beings have turned their attention onto Alkereth which makes realm hopping a daunting task, but his stout heart and determination makes him a formidable annoyance to the so-called abyssal gods.
𝔖𝔬𝔯𝔠𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔯𝔄lkereth was born with magical blood. For years he spent time in academies honing his abilities. His professors noted that he is a gifted Spellblade.
𝔈𝔵𝔬𝔯𝔠𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔈ldritch horrors are not the only supernatural complications Alkereth has faced. Having experienced first hand what it was like to be possessed by demons, the Harbinger took it upon himself to learn how to expel these irritating spirits, and so he joined the Order of Lazamar. Unfortunately, spirits are drawn to him like moths to a flame.

Alkereth is an accomplished Spellblade. It is a title given to a warrior
whom uses magic in his fighting style. A spellblade can channel arcane energy
into a melee weapon. Because he taps into his own energy, stronger magics
deplete faster. Sleep, moonlight, or simply time helps restore his energy.
When in proximity with Lunrath, Alkereth's energy lasts longer, but only
because Lunrath is a source of strong magic, and their bond allows him to
tap into her own.
Alkereth's personal magic circle, used in all manner of his spellcraft.
This is also tattooed onto his right palm in black ink, and glows when
in use. It's purpose is to help focus Alkereth's raw power, like a wizard
with a staff. Runes can be 'drawn' within the inner circle to cast specific
types of magic. It can also be three-dimensionally projected.
Strengths:- Holy: Alkereth's time as a High Priest gave him the proficiency needed to use Lazamar's Prayer and holy relics effectively.
- Moon magic: Innately connected to the Aetherian moon, Alkereth is able to utilize it as a form of energy, mostly for healing. Other alien moons can also be used, but they're not as efficient. Moons still provide an excellent source of magic, however.
Weaknesses:- Physical weakness: Alkereth is a glass cannon. He bleeds like anyone else.
- Light: While light doesn't necessarily physically harm Alkereth, prolonged exposure to intense heat and light is exhausting and makes him feel sluggish. These must come from a strong source, like the sun.
Immunities:- Psychic Rebuke: Cannot be charmed, afraid, or succumb to madness. This is generally true with Eldritch monsters, not necessarily people.

Note: To keep things fair, and to avoid overpowering this character, I will choose three max
spells to use for a fight, unless my roleplaying partner gives the okay
otherwise. Also, to keep things entertaining, I may use online dice rolls
for fun, or at my partner's request.
𝔖𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔦𝔱 𝔖𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔠𝔢 (Holy)
Learned from his time as a priest, Alkereth learned to sever his soul from his body in order to commune with spirits, or the living. In this state, Alkereth cannot be harmed by the living, but it leaves his body vulnerable. He can definitely be attacked by other spirits, however. This hardly takes up much energy, but it can be extremely dangerous to use, so Alkereth chooses not to do it often. Think of OBEs.
𝔚𝔯𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔣𝔲𝔩 𝔏𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔫𝔦𝔫𝔤 (Holy)
Charges a melee weapon to cause shock or paralysis if hit directly. If Alkereth overcharges it, he may be able to call a bolt of lightning.
ℭ𝔩𝔢𝔞𝔫𝔰𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔉𝔦𝔯𝔢 (Holy)
The melee weapon of choice causes burns. If it overheats, Alkereth may use it to throw fireballs.
𝔏𝔞𝔷𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔯'𝔰 𝔅𝔩𝔢𝔰𝔰𝔦𝔫𝔤 (Holy)
A multi-purpose holy prayer that blesses self and others. It can add a modest boost to one's physical strength, sharpens one's mind, or amplify a weapon's effectiveness. It may also null debuffs and cast illusions on self or others. It can be used to cleanse or exorcise spirits from a place or object.
𝔖𝔥𝔦𝔢𝔩𝔡 (Holy)
Alkereth may summon a holy shield, or cast an overshield on self or others for a short period, effectively protecting oneself against attacks.
𝔖𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔢 (Moon)
Alkereth's doppelgänger. The shadow copies his abilities, but they're not as strong. Mainly for distraction.
𝔐𝔦𝔫𝔬𝔯 ℌ𝔢𝔞𝔩 (Holy)
Heals small cuts and bruises.
𝔊𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔯 ℌ𝔢𝔞𝔩 (Holy)
Heals extensive wounds, such as deep cuts and minor broken bones.
𝔓𝔲𝔯𝔦𝔣𝔶 (Holy)
A useful ability that allows Alkereth to cleanse water or scour an object from filth. He cannot use it on flesh without leaving behind boils and burns. It may be used as an attack, but is more of an annoyance or distraction.
𝔖𝔩𝔬𝔴 (Moon)
A debuff that causes the enemies to move and behave sluggishly. If cast three times in succession in one roleplay sitting, the debuff has a chance to put a foe to sleep.
𝔗𝔢𝔩𝔢𝔭𝔬𝔯𝔱 (Moon)
Lets the user cross small distances instantaneously, but the user must know where they're going. It can be used to dodge attacks.
𝔖𝔥𝔞𝔡𝔬𝔴𝔟𝔢𝔞𝔰𝔱 𝔖𝔲𝔪𝔪𝔬𝔫 (Moon)
A beast from the shadow realm may be called forth to temporarily fight Alkereth's battles, but it is not always guaranteed what will come out of the darkness. It borrows the summoner's shadow and energy. The longer the summoned lingers in a fight, the more energy depleted from the summoner.
𝔊𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔴𝔞𝔶 (Celestial)
Only possible with Lunrath. Summons portals to leap through realms.
𝔐𝔢𝔫𝔡 (Moon)
A simple and useful spell that fixes what was once broken. Cannot mend something that is utterly destroyed or unrecognizable from its previous state. Cannot fix people, only objects.

CommissionedLunrath is no mere mare. She is a remarkable steed made of starlight.
A spirit. Harbingers live on the saddle, they say. Omen-bearers, bringers of
prophecy. Alkereth did not choose Lunrath, neither did Alkereth request his
station. He was hand-picked by the spirit herself. Together, they are bound
by an unknown fate.
Status: MissingLunrath was not foaled in the usual way.
The swell of a nova was her beginning. As is the way of Starmounts, she floated
in the womb of stardust until she was carefully harvested with the others, and
raised to become a Harbinger's steed. She has been in service to countless
riders. She is very old, and very wise.
When a Harbinger is killed, Lunrath will find another to take his place. It is
a difficult burden to bear, for Lunrath is fond of her past riders. But the
position must never stay vacant for long...
Magic
Lunrath is a delicate creature of celestial magic. Though her age is tremendous, and her soul immortal, if she is killed, she will be reborn among the stars, but her birth follows the cycle of any star.
Abilities
𝔊𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔴𝔞𝔶 (Celestial)
Lunrath summons a portal to leap through realms.
𝔖𝔱𝔞𝔯 𝔅𝔯𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱Lunrath's body blinds with a radiant glow. Eldritch monsters aren't fond of this light.

Current Threads:
- The Night the Fire Fell: An introduction in which Alkereth makes a clamorous appearance. A Mordecai named Emery takes Alkereth as her captive to turn him in to a mysterious prison for mages to be studied in return for that sweet sweet cash.
Meanwhile, Alkereth and Emery are basically just two giant emotionally constipated idiots being dumb together about different things on this journey. Stay tuned!
This just in: Emery fucked the mage out of Alkereth. Oops. Alkereth is crazy mad about it, but now he is hopelessly smitten with the Mordecai to care too much right now.

Alkereth's RPRepository page • ☽ • ☾ •
This profile may be slightly different than the profile made for SOTE.
Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to look at this character. Alkereth is one of my oldest, living in my head rent-free for several years. I had a dream about the name itself: "Alkereth. Remember Alkereth." I don't know why my dream brain wanted me to remember it, but I do remember waking up and writing it down, spelled exactly as I've seen it in my head. Slowly after that, a person began to take shape: and so Alkereth the Harbinger was born.
