Judas (D&D)

## Judas

**Judas** is a human fighter and sorcerer. He is a noble from the estate village […], and the unwitting reincarnation of the warrior god El.

## Appearance

Judas bears a strong resemblance to El; he is a light-skinned man of average height and lean, muscular build, with flowing white hair described as "reminiscent of a divine being." His eyes are blood red, and they appear narrow in shape.

He dons a partially torn cloak over […], in conjunction with a battle skirt and leather boots. He wears a leather belt to holster his sword, and he carries a number of empowering talismans on himself at all times.

## Personality

Judas is a high-functioning psychopath, who forces people into submission through acts of violence or ultimatums which threaten such. He often behaves dramatically to mask or compensate for his apathy, and presents himself as some messianic figure or archetypal personification of evil. His exceptionally cruel behavior can be attributed to how he views those around him with paltry significance, even going so far as to consider a life "no more sacred than its excrement."

## Abilities

Judas is a skilled warrior and spellcaster. He specializes in dark magic, particularly that which revolves around destruction.

### Skills

**Combat Specialism**: Judas is an accomplished special forces operator with tremendous mastery over both armed and unarmed combat, retaining his status as one of the finest CQC combatants in the world. Due to years of military service, Judas has become very adept at strategy, able to scrutinize his enemies or current situation and create an effective plan from that information. He even developed a personalized system called GRIM, and requires little to no windup in order to achieve powerful attacks.

Judas' combat skills are so keen that “they could only be achieved through brutal, life-or-death experiences”; he's remarkably agile, ferocious, proprioceptive, resilient, and astute.

* **Horsemanship**: Judas learned how to ride horses and perform mounted combat from his father.
* **Weapon Mastery**: Judas is able to wield a variety of different weapons, such as daggers, swords, spears, battle axes, sickles, scythes, and bows. He can throw spears with deadly precision and accuracy, and even handle two weapons simultaneously.**Survivalism**: Over the course of his life, Judas has acquired the necessary skills to subsist within natural or built environments, and he exhibits the ability to very easily gather information about foreign biospheres/ecosystems to almost perfectly assimilate its “do’s and don’ts.” Examples include the jungles of Mexico, albeit with help from native tribes, and the Sonoran Desert.

In addition to his earned skills, Judas seemed to possess an intuitive knowledge of organic tracking methods when he was younger, even understanding how to entrap and kill prey simply by instinct without any formal training. He also has an incredible sense of direction.**Stealth**: Judas has repeatedly shown the ability to breach into heavily guarded fortresses undetected and disappear out of sight the moment he’s looked away from, demonstrating extraordinary control over his body to profound effect.

**Polymathy**: Judas procured a broad education within biology, general history, medicine, mathematics, toxicology, metalsmithing, engineering, psychology, cryptography, religious studies, occultism, etc, though he cannot be viewed as comparable to an authority on the aforementioned fields. Furthermore, he learned how to perform magic tricks, sleight of hand, card throwing, and tarot reading; and he knows how to sew.

* **Multilingualism**: Judas can speak most languages fluently, in addition to his mother tongue Mexican Spanish, as well as use their signed variants.
* **Poisoning**: Judas is familiar with many poisons and how to acquire them from plants, animals, or members of a venomous race.
* **Cooking**: Judas is able to cook.

### Weaknesses

**Unnamed Headache Disorder**: Judas suffers from recurrent headaches that are often moderate to severe, which may cause symptoms such as nausea, sudden fatigue, body spasms, and sensitivity to light, sound, and/or smell. He has dealt with it since puberty. They can be triggered by emotional distress, and he describes them as "feeling like his head is splitting."

Headaches are sometimes accompanied by visual and/or auditory hallucinations of El.

## Equipment

* **Longsword**: A regular metal sword.
* **Warbow**: A very powerful bow with a draw weight equivalent to his own. It uses regular arrows, which he can set ablaze or poison.
