Rmoncael en Ia

Description
Rmoncael's skin is ashen; his hair is jet black. His hands and feet are covered in black scales that end in claws. These attributes are the horrible truth behind his new life as a revenant; if it can truly be called a life. He wears a hooded cloak and gloves at all times to hide the truth. With the disguise, Rmoncael nearly fits in. His height and build are of average proportions. His eyes, though, often betray his nature. Rmoncael has golden eyes that gleam red when he is angry.

Personality
In his past life, he was greedy and cared nothing for others. He would use people, step on people, even kill people, if it would help him achieve his goals. In this life, however, Rmoncael is a bit different. He is still cold and seems uncaring. In fact, this is true. He cares little for most people. However, he has no desire to hurt others for his own gains. He now feels nothing for them. The only people he cares for are his friends. He will go to great lengths to protect those close to him. Rmoncael has sacrificed much for his friends. He carries a heavy burden. A burden he willingly took upon himself to protect his friends. What he fears most, though, is that this burden will turn him into that he fears most: Bloodwing.

Family & Relationships
Rmoncael remembers little about his previous life. He can only remember two faces from his past. One face he remembers was that of his daughter. The other face he remembers was that of his and his daughter's murderer: Dracablo.

Ever since his rebirth as the revenant, Rmoncael devotes himself to the protection of his friends, Brutus, Reshkarr, Toshiro, and Niles. Aside from these four people, nobody means much to Rmoncael.

Of course, there is himself. To be more precise, Rmoncael's possible future self, Bloodwing. Rmoncael has dealt with Bloodwing on more than one occasion. One of his primary goals is to make sure that he never turns into Bloodwing.

Life
Rmoncael remembers very little about his life. He doesn't even remember his former name. He has fleeting visions of his former life from time to time. This is what he has been able to peace together.


 * He was a dwarf.
 * He had a daughter, whom he loved deeply.
 * He held a position of power.
 * He was wicked and corrupt.
 * He was not a warrior.
 * He was not brave.

Death


While Rmoncael barely remembers his former life, visions of his death still haunt him.

''The air is warm and a little stuffy, almost but not quite like being underground. Rmoncael's heart is pounding. He's waiting for something. Something he really does not want to happen. He looks over to his daughter. She turns up to face him for reassurance. She looks scared. Suddenly there is a loud heavy thumping at his door. It startles him, and now his daughter is crying. He goes over to console the girl, to try to keep her quiet. Rmoncael can't quite make out what he's saying to her. It seems to be working, though. She isn't crying out anymore, though, she is still scared. He guides her through a hallway into a bedroom. He then has her go into the closet. There's a loud crash. HE must have gotten through the door. His daughter starts crying again and tries to hold onto her father. He says something as he pulls away from her. He then closes the closet door and leaves the room. He runs through his house to the front where he knows HE is waiting.''

''As he approaches his front room, he hears a fearsome shout. He stops dead in his tracks. He can't possibly face HIM. He has to do something, though. He searches the hall and finds a metal poker. His hands are sweaty as he quietly picks up the poker. He twists it around in his hands a few times, as if trying to find the proper grip. He decides to wait and hide around the corner. Now he realizes how heavy he's breathing. He crouches low to the ground and tries to control himself. HE starts shouting. Rmoncael still can't understand what's being said, but a feeling of dread goes over him. He just sits and waits.''

''HIS heavy footsteps move close and closer. He wants to run, but now it's too late. He can't leave her. He just has to wait. HE is very close now. He can smell HIM. It's an unpleasant, sulfurous scent. Regret is flooding his mind. Though, Rmoncael is unsure of what he regrets. The footsteps have stopped. HE is very near. He can hear HIS breath now. The time to strike is now!''

''He swings around the corner striking with the poker. It failed to hit its mark, though. HE grabbed the poker with his bare hands. Now Rmoncael can get a good look at HIM. HE is a large dragonborn. HIS scales are a dull red and he smells of sulfur. HE wears a blood red cloak and wears the holy symbol of Asmodeus. He is afraid, deathly afraid. His feels his stomach drop. He can't think of anything right now. Then he feels HIS hand grab his arm. It burns. Slowly, HE lifts him off the ground. HE says something to Rmoncael, but he cannot understand. He turns his head in fear and shame. He cannot face HIM. Suddenly he feels a quick cool feeling in his gut.''

''It didn't hurt much, and he instictively puts his hand to his abdomen. His hand is warm with his blood as his entrails start to slowly ooze out. His breathing starts to become eratic as he goes into shock. HE is not so kind as to let him die like this, though. HE drops him onto the floor and sears the open wound shut with HIS breath weapon, badly burning him. Rmoncael screams in agony as he's dragged across the floor. At first he can't think at all. The pain is too intense. Suddenly, though, horror races to him. His daughter is still in the house. HE is looking for her. He tries to plead with him. Rmoncael still doesn't know what he's saying. Fear for his daughter is the only thing keeping him alive now. Room by room, HE drags him along as HE searches for the girl. Finally, they approach the room she's hiding him. He is now shouting at HIM, pleading with HIM.''

''It does no good, though. HE finds the girl quivering in the closet. She starts crying as she sees HIM and her mangled father. HE starts speaking to her, than to him. Rmoncael still can't understand what's being said. Anger and fear start to consume him, though, as he begins to cry. HE starts to laugh as he throws him on top his daughter. HE then lets loose his dragon's breath against him and his daughter. Her screams echo through Rmoncael's mind. He can't even think of the pain anymore. All of his thoughts and remaining energy are devoted to her. He tries to shield her from the fire. It is too hard to move, though. It's over... It's really over. He says one last thing. The only spoken words that Rmoncael can understand. "Forgive me."''

Life Renewed: Blessing or Curse?
He opens his eyes once again. Rmoncael knows nothing except his name, and the name of his hated enemy: the red dragonborn, Tezukratuzuxxma, and he knows that Tezukratuzuxxma killed him. That is all he knows. Rmoncael does not know who he was in life. He does not know where he is, and he does not know why he is given this second chance. He is very confused, but it doesn't matter. Tezukratuzuxxma must die. An all consuming hatred burns within him. Rmoncael quickly realizes that to live with this hate is no gift. He sees his new life as a curse.

Rmoncael starts his path by trying to find out where he is. There he meets some strange individuals: a living construct, a bumbling dragonborn, and a wilden. They grow to becmoe friends. Together they protect each other and the land from horrible evils. Together they even help Rmoncael defeat Tezukratuzuxxma. Rmoncael also learns the grim truth about his future. -- See The Dark Pacts within Prosperity for more

Thanks to Toshiro Guardian, Rmoncael is aware of what the future may hold for him. He knows, and fears, that he may become the diabolical Bloodwing. However, he knows that he is the master of his own destiny. His primary goal is to keep his friends safe. While Dracablo is defeated, he knows that minions of the Nine will stop at nothing to have Brutus. He is confident that, so long as he is aware of the future, he can avoid his fate.

The Battle Versus Destiny
A few years afterwards, Rmoncael still travels with the group. The Nine were becoming more bold with their plans, as they kidnap Brutus and attempt to claim the Material Plane. Much to his chagrin, he is forced to use his cursed blade on several occasions. The future is unfolding as Toshiro had foretold. While he is concerned over the damnation of his soul, he know that protecting his friends must still come first.

Rmoncael plays a pivitol role in the final battle, helping free the world of the threat of Asmodeus and his future self, Bloodwing. Thanks to the help of his new found allies, Bloodwing is defeated and the cursed blades are destroyed. Rmoncael is free. -- See Prophecies and Revelations for more

Current Whereabouts/Activities
After the events of Prophecies and Revelations, Rmoncael finally feels peace. The swords are destroyed, Bloodwing is gone, the devils are defeated, and his friends are safe. A heavy burden has been lifted from his shoulders. He still travels with his friends. Though, now he travels with them because he wants to, not because he feels that he needs to stay close to protect them. Rmoncael finally sees his new life as a blessing and not a curse.

Alternate Timeline
Deceased: 1511 DR Rmoncael ultimately fails and beckons to Bane's calling. He takes on the moniker, Bloodwing. Rmoncael, unlike the Bloodwing of Toshiro's time, holds onto his sanity. This is likely due to his lower reliance on his cursed blade. For nearly a decade and a half, he and his cronies rule the Dalelands with an iron fist. That all changes when The Shadowdale Resistance assault his stronghold in Archendale and defeat him. After the battle, Rmoncael dies and Cyric manifests himself, by means of his sword, and takes over the revenant's body. -- See A Future Forged of Blood and Steel for more
