This could be rather cool.
Thanks for the offer! :-)

Possibly. He has traveled various other
planes/dimensions/realities/[etc.].

Mostly a sorceror,
but also a very skilled swordsman.
Most of the time, he uses a "shadow-blade"
(a black katana) that he can summon to him at will.
This blade drains souls/energy/strength/whatever.
The most obvious example of this is, of course,
Stormbringer (from Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone).
But this was also a common theme in a series
of fantasy stories about a band of necromancers,
printed in the old days of pulp fiction
(I don't recall the author, though).
Other times, he will use an enchanted greatsword
(one of those ubiquitous chrome-plated big swords).
> Is your character slightly (or otherwise) creepy?
Oh, *absolutely* YES!! >:-D
Basically, think of an evil criminal mastermind
with tremendous magical powers.
He specializes in Necromancy ("death magics")
and Demonology (calling up evil, nasty critters
from nether-places not-quite-named "Heck"),
and he travels (traveled?)
to other planes extensively.
He has/is/will be forming a cabal
of liches [1] and other evil sorcerors.
He also has an extensive army
of "ninja demons" [2], zombies/ghouls [3],
spirit warriors (aka "sword wraiths"?) [4],
and other sundry critters.
Oh, and his name?...
He goes by the name Nethozhen ("neth-THO-zhen") [5].
Thanks!

[1] -- This is one reason that I've been posting
DAT files and images for Liches.
[2] -- In a response I posted on another thread,
one dealing with uses of the red ninjas,
I posted how to make these: one red ninja,
one Darth Maul head, and two Black hands.
[3] -- Take a Jar-Jar Binks torso,
use a Mummy head, replace the arms with Grey arms,
use Dark Grey hands (most often, from the $3
construction guy set), a black hairpiece,
and brown legs.
[4] -- Take a Grey torso with Grey arms
and Dark Grey hands (as above),
slip on a Samurai armor,
held in place by a Darth Vader head
[can get this as cheap as $4
if you're willing to disassemble a keychain],
wearing a Dark Grey flaring/nasal helm.
Add a 1x2 plate and a 1x1 round brick in Grey,
and a 2x2 radar dish in Dark Grey
for the lower half of the body
to simulate the "cloud"/"spectral" form
of this critter.
[5] -- The "zh" sounds like the "s" in "treasure".

| (...) Hmmmm... sounds like your Shadow-Blade and my Black Blade may have been created by the same wizard! I suppose that it is a common theme for black swords. (URL) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
