Diarmaidín Lughnasagh

==right|300px Diarmaidín Lughnasagh==
===Childhood===
Diarmaid was born Diarmaidín mac Nessa into a family of warriors somewhere in Ulster, Ireland. His family was
descended from the great hero Cú Chulainn, and so tried to master his incredible skills from birth. Diarmaid however
held a strong contempt for this idea. In his eyes, Cú Chulainn was indeed a good person at heart, but on the outside
he was a brutal savage. His contempt increased when his elder sister Diardrú, attempted to master Cú Chulainn's
fiery "Ríastrad", or Warp Phase. The effects nearly killed her. Eventually, at age 15, Diarmaid discovered a hidden
library in his family estate which held illustrations of hundreds of magic spells (shapeshifting, control over elements,
etc.) He learned them in secret, and at age 16 he revealed his new abilities and defied his "barbaric" heritage. Out
of respect and pride, Diarmaid's father, Sciobad, sent him on his way to seek his fortune.
===Abilities===
Diarmaid has several abilities that go from shapeshifting to curses. His abilities are listed here.
====Shapeshifting====
Diarmaid is capable of transforming into any natural object he sees, although he prefers to do partial transformations instead of full. He normally
transforms into a Irish wolfhound, a dragon with huge wings, and an oak tree varying in size. He never does a half-transformation for the wolfhound,
and usually gives himself the dragon wings or claws. When he is fighting seriously, he grows the dragon's tail. Using the tree form he can turn into
a "plant monster". He is unable to turn into mechanical objects.
====Metal Control====
Diarmaid is able to create and control metal. His favourite method is to fire pointed, razor-sharp Celtic crosses from his hands or chest. He can
control the size, length and width of the crosses to use for multiple purposes, going from blades, to projectiles to shields.
====Summoning====
Diarmaid can summon at least three far síog (fairy men) from the fairy world to fight with him. The reason he is able to do this is because he
and the far síog have a mutual understanding and feeling of friendship with eachother. The fairies and their abilities are listed here:
Far Darrig (Man in red)- Wields a scythe and a halberd and moves faster than the eye can see.
Far Gorta (Man of hunger)- Has the ability to create féar gorta (hungry grass) to bind and emaciate his target.
Far Liath (Man in grey)- Can turn himself and his allies invisible and can cast very powerful illusions.
====Evil Curse====
Diarmaid can cast a powerful curse on his opponent using a special stance (standing on one leg, one arm hidden, one eye open). Using
this curse he can do absolutely anything he wants with them, but the end result is the victim dying.
====Physical====
Despite him defying his warrior heritage, he does have several physical abilities including super speed, super jumping, and some super
strength, though these are vastly inferior to Diardru's.
