Hakorakov, Daemon of Creation and Destruction

Origin/Background

Unlike most Daemons, Hakorakov was not created during the creation. He started as a mortal human in the world known as Athera. His family was one of Smith's and he had a small foundry in Salvus, which he took control of once his parents passed on due to their mortal age. Young Hakorakov was an expert at craft, forging anything that came to his mind in the moment of its creation. He was quite different from most Smith's as he required strange items from the world in order for him to make anything of value, but when it was done, the item was masterfully crafted and fit exactly what the buyer wanted. Though this forging wasn't magical in nature, Hakorakov was truly an expert. During his later days, while he was forging a magnificent blade from black ferrum, a strange man jumped into his foundry. The man's eyes had a purple glow to them and before Hakorakov could blink, a shard of arcanism had pierced his heart. Dead, Hakorakov lie on the ground. His body remained there for a month before someone found him. A funeral was soon held and Hakorakov was buried under the center of the foundry he loved so much. His soul would come to possess the foundry, but it was far too late. That was the day that everyone left the loved land of Athera for a new one. Years.. decades.. and a century passed over the lands before a group of the new world came to Salvus- a trip that started at Arcas. Hakorakov, still wanting to forge showed his ghost self to a group in the foundry and with new found powers, he forged weapon after weapon for those who came. Rhymes twisted out of his throat, bending words to make people collect a list. A Sickle-Staff that grew trees, a Drum that created a wall of air, a Scythe that glowed with electricity, a leather bound Book that created strange happenings in the world, a Bow that shot arrows of flame, a Sword that let's its owner's hand at will, an Axe that flooded creatures with water, and finally, Rendheart, a blade crafted to kill one monster. Each one was set to lose the enchantment upon leaving Athera. But it was the last creation that brought light to the eyes of Hakorakov. His final creation would be a gift for the Suticans of Salvus, a portal made from red flames that would bring them back to their home. A hum of words left his emotionless mouth: "Destruction Breeds Creation." It was this moment that the Creator finally took notice of this being, who, even after death, was dedicated to his art. Though never again would he forge a weapon if nothing was done. He'd be a ghost bound to the walls of a broken foundry. Upon the Suticans taking their leave, so would Hakorakov, taking the hand of the Creator and ascending to become an Daemon. The Destruction of his life and foundry, lead to the Creation of his Daemonic form. The Destruction of the materials people brought to him, lead to the Creation of powerful weapons. The Destruction of some Sutican and other lives, lead to the Creation of his portal.

Realm

Hakorakov's want for creation is what gave way to a new realm when he became an Daemon. This magnificent world, known only by the name "The Foundry," is never ending and very dangerous. At the center of the infinite world, Hakorakov sits with his forge and tools. When a Creation of his is finished, it gets sent to a random location in The Foundry. Though he is unable to create something out of nothing, so he looks around his world and breaks things down to just their materials to remake something new. This single fact makes the realm a dangerous one. At any point in time, the ground below could simply give way, crumbling into dust so a new mountain could be crafted. Other strange phenomena also happen in this world because of his never ending urges. Entrance into this realm can be quite simple, yet difficult at the same time. When a smith dies and is buried under their forge, it is said that a portal will open during that night to let the smith escape into The Foundry. Only during this time may others enter the Foundry, but to escape, one must either wait for a new portal to open, or for Hakorakov to let them through to the mortal realm.

Spoiler

Going to this realm requires permission from an Event Team Manager. If you get stuck in the realm, then it is a PK.

Following

Hakorakov's followers usually don't know that they are followers of him. Those who he considers followers are all who create or destroy. As long as something is created or destroyed by someone, then Hakorakov will gaze down upon them. Only his most devout followers, those who perform major creation, artisans, those who perform major destruction, murders, or those who actually know and praise Hakorakov. Only his greatest followers will ever receive gifts from Hakorakov, though they usually come with a cost. It is quite rare to even receive one of Hakorakov's gifts. His voice, emotionless, will speak in the mind of whoever is to receive one of his gifts and give them a list of no less than 4 items. The difficulty of the items he asks for directly related to how powerful the item will be once created. The way he speaks his list is through rhyming his words and twisting their meaning.

Spoiler

Gifts can only be given by an Event Team member with approval from a manager, so don't rp having stupidly powerful s***.

Present Day

In the present day, Hakorakov remains up in his realm. He sees through a mirror he magically created in his realm and views those who destroy and create and when they do so. From time to time, he will show himself in random forges, appearing as a figure made from flames, standing within a blaze. Generally, he shows up as red flames, but on occasion he will burn a midnight colored fire and his eyes will be bright red. Silently, he judges who to give his gifts to. When he is not watching, his hands are busy creating and destroying his realm.

OOC Purpose

The main purpose of this was to give LOTC something from one of my events, and to show off a new Faemon that can possibly be used in different events. It would be nice to see a truly "neutral" kind of Daemon in the realm that will make beautiful creations and destroy once beautiful things. This being can give way to amazing ideas, and interesting rp with people because of his two big wants. I had played this character in an event and people seemed to have good fun talking with him and interacting with his brilliant foundry, so something more from him could come from this.
