Background

D'Spayre was manifested by the Dweller-in-Darkness from the horrific demise of Atlantis and Lemuria approximately 20,000 years before the present day. Since then, he ("it" for all practical purposes) has travelled space and time, gaining power, learning, feeding, and leaving destruction in his wake. He has ambitions — the more realms he influences, the more fear there is to feed him — and makes alliances and enemies as he marches through history.

IC Events

Traits

Powers

• DEMONIC NATURE: D'Spayre has superhuman strength, stamina, and durability — even when physically manifested — thanks to his demonic origins.
• TELEPORTATION: Like many demons, D'Spayre is capable of teleportation within a dimension or to other dimensions. He must know where he is going or be able to see it.
• MAGIC: D'Spayre is capable of learning spells and wielding magic. Primarily, he simply draws on magical energies to create bolts of pure power, which he uses as offensive weapons. If he required magic for other purposes, he would learn it.
• NOT OF THIS WORLD: D'Spayre is slightly out of synch with reality. He is intangible, ageless, and requires nothing to survive though he enjoys the fear of living creatures, upon which he feeds. So long as he is out of synch, he cannot suffer any physical harm.
• TERROR: D'Spayre uses telepathy to understand his victims' deepest fears, then uses illusion and hallucination to bring those fears to life for them. This can be as simple as making a single person believe they are trapped with their worst nightmare to larger schemes that result in terror and horror for hundreds, even thousands, of people. His power is intimately linked to his voice, meaning his words must be heard in order for him to make first contact with a victim. However, this power can extend over mass media. Any form of communication that records, replicates, or translates his words will make the connection that allows him to access a victim's fears and impose his terrors upon them.

Skills

• COMBAT: D'Spayre rarely resorts to fighting but 20,000 years of existence have given him time to practice fighting with a range of weapons, as well as commanding troops, in spite of how infrequently it occurs.

Advantages

• BLACK TOWER: D'Spayre uses a mile-high Black Tower as his home and as an amplifier for his powers. The power of the Black Tower is transitive — D'Spayre can corrupt any structure into a Black Tower by residing in it and influencing it. The structure maintains its mundane physical appearance but can be seen for what it is with some forms of magical sight. There can only be one Black Tower in a dimension at any given time. Corrupt residue may remain after D'Spayre withdraws.
• MINIONS: As with anything powerful, D'Spayre has accumulated followers who wish to either appease him or learn from him. He relies on them from time to time, in return for small favors.

Flaws

• EARSHOT: D'Spayre must speak to his victims in order to properly connect with them. This means that they must be able to hear him and sound must be able to travel from D'Spayre to them. His powers do not work in a vacuum, nor do they work on the Deaf or those who don't hear by means of sound. As noted, they can be transmitted over vast distances — but someone must be there to hear them at the end.
• HUNGRY: D'Spayre does not require sustenance of any sort to survive. To flourish and maintain his power, however, he relies on the psychic energy generated by terror. Without fear to fuel him, D'Spayre becomes increasingly tangible and, as such, vulnerable to physical assault.
• IT BURNS: D'Spayre's Black Tower is particularly vulnerable to supernatural fire and almost impossible to assault with anything else.
