Meitr Inri

APPEARANCE:


BACKGROUND: Some are born great, and others have greatness thrust upon them. If you ask Meitr, he belongs to the latter group. Born into a cult of Konatsian wizards called the “Cult of the Magi”, which made its home beneath the city of Dharatan this group worshiped the force of magic itself, believing it was a sentient being that granted power to those who appeased it… In order to appease “The Great Magicka,” you had only two options according to the cabal; by growing your magical abilities in the hopes that The Great Magicka notices you and grants you power or knowledge, or by sacrificing souls and distilling them into pure magic. Meitr was born into the cult as a lowly Acolyte, but he was shown to show a devotion to the craft unlike few the cult has seen.

Meitr was more than willing to go through any sort of pain or suffering if it meant understanding the forces of magic better. Many would perform all manner of dangerous rituals for the chance of gaining a modicum of magical power, while Meitr was cutting his skull open and experimenting with casting enchantments and injecting elixirs directly into his brain, and using dark and ancient magic to give himself extra fingers to better trace his magical glyphs, and enabling him to cast spells that require two hands with only one. Through his experimentation with the cells of other creatures, he even gave himself some of their traits. For example, by splicing his own DNA with the DNA of a Saiyan warrior, he was made naturally stronger and faster, and allowed himself to stay in his peak physical prime until he was nearing the end of his life. His intense dedication was realized when the Magi Council named him the Grand Sage after the death of their former leader. He was given the great Grimoire Magicka, the cult’s holy book. More than just a collection of the cult’s teachings, it was a magical grimoire of great and terrible power. Centuries of magic had been recorded by the many Grand Magi the cult had seen over the years, and one included a recipe for an all-powerful super warrior; a Majin.

The recipe in the book required mortal souls, and so the cult set to work to gather what they needed to form their mightiest weapon, their Excalibur. It was at this point that Meitr modified himself again with gene splicing, adding Majin DNA to his body to give himself a Majin's rubbery, nigh indestructible body and incredibly long life. However, Meitr miscalculated with all of this experimentation, and what he did to attain the souls required to build his weapon would spell the cult's undoing. The cult’s survival had always been dependent on subterfuge and secrecy. Meitr had delusions of grandeur, and so kidnapped the old, the sick, and the young off the streets. He thought they would not be missed. He was wrong. Raiding their compound, a holy order of Konatsian knights began to slay the cultists. Meitr ordered everyone to hold them off while he secured the weapon, rushing to the vaults to see to the failsafe plan. As the Grand Magi entered, he entered a sarcophagus after tripping a trap, collapsing the entirety of the compound and entombing himself, the rest of the cult, and the knights underground... and so it would remain for the next five decades.

After fifty years, the weapon’s incubation was complete, and it awakened. This event also awoke the Grand Magi, who now has the goal of pumping up Excalibur to full power.
