Name: Dicoforas (not really it's name, but a latin adaption meaning "Without Name"
Age: Formed centuries ago by magical energies.
Race: Other- A formless entity with no sentient mind and lacking what humans would call a "soul".
Nationality: "Born" in England.
Gender: Genderless
Alignment: *See weaknesses*
Organization: *See weaknesses*
Occupation: *See "Animus Corripio"*
Weapon: *See "Animus Corripio"*
Stats: *See "Animus Corripio"*
Powers:
Animus Corripio- Dicoforas takes on the physical form of any sentient being that it has seen. When in it's natural form, it changes into the first person who looks at it. While in an assumed form, Dicoforas gains the stats and physical powers of the person he's mimicing. Magical or mental abilities are not copied. The abilities can only be used while Dicoforas is in that form. Dicoforas also aquires both the person's personality (in a limited sense) and weaponry.
Without Mind- Because it is not sentient in and of itself, Dicoforas can not be communicated with on a telepathic level. This also prevents it from having it's mind read.
Weakness:
Half Alive- Dicoforas's state of half life is a compelx state of being. It lacks it's own mind and has to copy the minds and bodies of others to do anything. Because it is so willing to be reformed, Dicoforas can be enslaved to a being with enough psycic power. By exerting enough effort, a telepathic person can force their own will into Dicoforas. When this is done, the entity becomes something like a lesser mind, sharing the opinions of the controlling mind. Dicoforas retains a will of it's own (a weak one, but it is there) and gains a sense of sentience. It will respond willingly to the control mind, with whom it gains a empathic connection, being whatever it is directed to. Basically, Dicoforas becomes a similar version of the controlling mind, in a mental sense, and takes on the Alignment and Organization of the controlling mind,
Focused Light- Highly focused light, like that of a laser, is Dicoforas's primary physical weakness. When hit with a laser, Dicoforas is forced back into it's natural state. When forced out, it appears to be a oozy humanoid thing for a time before returning to it's gas-like state. Very bright lights (search lights, strobe lights, or flash grenades) do not force Dicoforas out of his form, but they do make it cower and run away.
Appearance: In it's natural form Dicoforas appears to be one of two things. If it has just been forced out of a shape it stole, it has a humanoid shape but appears to be formed of black ooze. In it's truly natural state the being is a smokey cloud of black vapors, thin enough that it can actually be seen through. However, this natural form is almost never seen because Dicoforas steals the shape of the first sentient being to see it when it is without form.
Personality: Dicoforas is curious about everything, and spends much of it's time following anything interesting. It is easily distracted by shinny objects, bright colors, and fast movement. When in an assumed form (which is basically all the time), it takes on, to a lesser extent, the personality of the person it copied. It's personality is largely formed by the controlling mind.
Story: Dicoforas was created centuries ago through a combination of black magik and life forces. A covern of wizards in England had their gathering place close to a graveyard. For all the years that the wizards gathered to work their magiks, residual magics combined with the life force of the freshly dead in the grave yard. After nearly a century of magical casting, the mixing forces gathered enough magic and life force to create something that was almost a living being.
When the wizards discovered their creation, on accident no less, they were amazed. After a short and confusing encounter with the shapeshifting being, they managed to subdue the entity and gain control over it. They called the thing Dicoforas, meaning Without Name. Dicoforas served as a spy and an assassin for the wizards for years, until the evenutality of time caught up with the old men. The covern dead, Dicoforas was free to wander. Of course, this was not taken well by the local people. The confusion and havic brought on by the shapeshifter quickly gathered outside attention.
After only a short time another covern of wizards was able to capture and imprision the entity. Dicoforas spent many years locked in his magical prision until just recently the magical seal was broken by the arrival of Satsujin and the recent god activity. Loosed from it's prision, Dicoforas is currently drifting towards Bejing...
