☠ Biography:
coming soon.......
Summary: Orcus is one of the many alter egos of Katsuro Yamamoto. His personality is seen as the most ambitious and violent yet also most cultured and intelligent. This persona was deeply buried, used as a means for Katsuro and his other identities to expel negative emotions as a coping mechanism. Though the other Identities are virtually unaware of each others existence, Orcus is co-conscious save one. Due to this, he has gathered a wealth of knowledge about himself enabling him to utilize the strengths of others within himself. He also has the ability to mimic another personality with great success, enabling him to slip into the world of another like a dormant snake.
☠ Powers & Abilities:
Author's Note-2013-11-02: Orcus has pretty much this same P&A section as my other account Tenjin. In fact, all my Katsuro accounts in the future will have it. It should be obvious by now as to why. What will determine their differences is their alignment, personalities and I will rely on paraphernalia to determine the lack or addition of more "super powers" and because of this their different fighting styles.
Mutant Powers
- Resurrection- Orcus' most obscure ability. His physical body is locked in a cycle of undeath, his bones will reappear in his tomb after his soul departs the body. It is widely believed his soul enters the Shadowrealm until his body manifests themselves from his bones once more. This is done when the full moon rises in the next cycle. However he will bear the scars of his former deaths if he had perished from mortal wounds.
- Vengeance (Resurrection)- If he had been slain by an enemy and he is resurrected with a scar, the scar will burn when his killer is present. This seems to work at some distance, effective at a range up to ten miles. If he then seeks vengeance and slays his foe, the scar will heal.
- Enhanced Attributes- He demonstrates a physical strength which does not correlate with the average human of his size. Capable of lifting a large amount of weight over his head, somewhere approaching the two ton limit. Katsuro may curl up to five hundred pounds with a single arm. This abnormal strength also enables him to leap on single story buildings without difficulty. His grip strength is startling known for shattering concrete, wood and thin sheets of standard metal. His speed is quite remarkable in short bursts and distances, reaching speeds of up to fifty miles per hour from a standing position but in feats of endurance he may continue at speeds of thirty miles per hour. Katsuro's reflexes are uncanny, capable of dodging close quarters small arms fire from a single opponent.
- Immunity to Pain- His body is unable to register pain naturally. He merely feels a numbing sensation to alert himself of damage. This may also inflict more damage because he is unable to register the severity of the wound.
Cybernetics
- Predator Neural Implant- Katsuro has been fitted with a mind-machine interface which projects real time information during combat situations ranging from the velocity of an incoming strike to the number of targets within a multitude of rooms. The implant is linked to his sense of sight and hearing only to enhance them with selective auditory registrations or visual threat analyse. The machine also produces a minute electrical pulse to grant Orcus a slight form extrasensory perception by notifying him of disturbances in the electrical field. In situations where multiple opponents are in involved the implant will designate each foe a color so Katsuro can track movements and attacks much more easily. A wound recognition program notifies Katsuro of his opponents injuries by analyzing heart rate, temperature drops, swelling, profuse bleeding and using the electrical pulse emitter to perform bone scans etc so he may act accordingly.
- Kinetic Pistons- Specialized implants lodged into both forearms and shins which filled with Oxyliquit. The implants are linked via synthetic nerves, exempted from his natural pain immunity which fire the pistons with the liquid oxygen mixture. Orcus merely has to activate the combustion mentally. The palms of his hands and the heel of his feet are covered with micro-exhausts, similar to the pores of the skin, which direct the internal explosions outwards. By design they can be fired several times individually, each resulting in short range high powered shock wave. The shock wave dissipates quickly hence proving lethal (to the average human) only at physical contact or within less than a foot of its blast to the cranium, solar plexus or base of the neck. The pressure from the attack is enough to shatter bone, brick and concrete. The shock wave however would be felt even from several feet away though only like a sharp burst of wind.
- Isolated Bioelectricity Amplification- A device implanted in the back of the hands and feet amplifies the electric currents produced by Katsuro's body as well as stores the electricity. When Katsuro mentally commands the amplifier discharges an electrical field timed via the Predator Neural Implant upon impact. However the amplifier typically is charged prior than relying on stored energy causing electricity to arc from the hand or foot. The strike produces around six hundred voltages and just under one amp, while not necessarily lethal it would indefinitely stun the average person and cause immediate pain. Though someone with a heart condition, severely damaged or a smaller framed individual could perish. Because the attack can only be used once before needing a several minute charge (on stored energy) and charging in real time takes about a minute but will dissipate if the current is discharged after completion, it is used sparingly.
- Hologram Spores- Embedded beneath his skin are nanobots linked to his Predator Neural Implant in a closed network. They are released through the pores of his skin and outside of his suit via special ducts. The hologram spores react to Katsuro's bioelectric signature and hover in his proximity like dust. He mentally projects them outwards into a orbital fashion within a ten meter radius from himself. They can be adjusted to stay only a few centimeters from the ground or four meters high and can compact themselves into a dense ball of light. Orcus may stabilize the field and enter and exit the field without the spores orbiting him. The spores each contain a micro-camera, speaker and projector , acting independently or as a hivemind with the Death Walker at its center. Often they glow a pulsing red green light much like a firefly, flickering and floating about however when Katsuro commands they begin to project auditory and visual illusions. He may project clones of himself, while harmless, they are a perfect distraction. The illusions are vast, forming phantasms, projecting the background images to render him invisible within the spores, auditory attacks such as screaming, gunshots, footsteps and the like. Because of the link to his mind, he can become quasi-telepathic within the spores as he can project his voice wherever within the hologram.
☠ Martial Arts Prowess:
Master of Vacuousness- coming soon....
(OoC Note: Until I manage to complete this section, Orcus is a incredibly gifted martial artist and swordsman. He has developed what I deem "Freestyle" combat, basically making it up as he goes from knowledge he/I acquire and imagine. Hard to explain. Like being a virtuoso without formal training because he is not confined within a certain style(s) teaching. A savant of killers if you will.)
☠ Paraphernalia:
- Skull Helmet- Forged from depleted Promethium, which is highly resistant to damage. Its two piece construction allows for Katsuro to speak uninhibited yet also locks the helmet onto his cranium and mandible. A system of security locks engage when the helmet is joined, his neural implant acts as the release mechanism, allowing him to detach the covering mentally rather than physically.
- Semi-Promethium Armor- Beneath his jacket is a Promethium plated long sleeve cuirass, though not entirely composed of the rare substance. Strategically placed plates lay over the chest, shoulders, along the spine and the abdomen. The plates are held firmly with an advanced Kevlar/Dilatation composite which allows Orcus to move freely while providing excellent protection against aggressive attacks.
- Anti-Metal Broadswords- Two swords forged from Antarctic Vibranium. Inscribed on the blades are the words "Nihil Magnum Sine Cruor Factum" roughly meaning Without bloodshed there was nothing of importance.
- Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer- A slightly modified German made selective fire handgun using specially developed overpressured 7.62x25mm Tokarev jacketed hollow point rounds. The weapon can be use single fire, short burst or full automatic firing operations using a selector switch on the left side.
- Orcus carries several magazines for this weapon in the 10 and 20 round varieties
- Modified Stoeger Shotgun- A 12 gauge sawed-off side by side double barreled shotgun. Because it is a breach fed weapon only two shots can be fired before reloading. The weapon is dual triggered, allowing Katsuro to fire a single round by pulling a single trigger or both simultaneously.
- Katsuro carries a 56 bandolier of shotgun ammunition.
- He favors Dragon's Breath, SCMITR and Expanding rounds
- Anti-Metal Throwing Knives- Forged from Antartic Vibranium and perfectly balanced. He carries twenty knives.
- Telescopic Javelins- Attached to a holster on his hip are ten 12 inch titanium sharpened rods. When thrown, a spring loaded mechanism causes the collapsed weapon to expand to a length of three feet.
- Explosives- Orcus carries explosive throwing disks composed of Oxyliquit which detonate upon impact. In a two phase process, his fingers activate the primer and when the outer shell is subject to even the most minute force, it triggers the explosion. Thus, these disks can also act as mines if placed on the ground. They project a slight red strobe when activated. Also, Katsuro is known to carry plastic explosives as well as developing bombs of various types and applications.
☠ Cult of The Undying Dark
Beliefs- The Cult of the Undying dark is a secretive paramilitary organization orchestrated by Orcus. The cult is comprised of religious zealots who worship death as a corporeal entity. Their nihilistic outlook on life claims that humanity are simply sheep waiting for the slaughter. The foundations of this quasi-religion are in the dark teachings of The Orcus Apocrypha; a book dedicated to Death as both creator and destroyer. It teaches that man is a killing machine by nature and it is unnatural for humanity to be peaceful, against Death. It begins with the story of Orcus, how he bested anything he faced in the pit because he freed himself from ethics and morals. He fought for his life and was enlightened. The cult believes heavily in the "survival of the fittest" theory. They believe murder is a form of sacrifice to Death itself; the more victims one acquires the more souls he brings with him as subjects in his otherworldly throne. Their death toll in turn becomes their subjects in the underworld, yet if someone is bloodthirsty enough, they can earn a throne in the next life, ruling over vast domains of the dead. Furthermore, they worship Orcus as a living god, who will rule alongside Death in the next life. To become a martyr in the name of Orcus is rewarded with tens of thousands of souls in the next life. The skull is their symbol and the heads of their victims are highly prized, often used as drinking cups and decorations. The cult also see cannibalism as nothing more than survival, that human flesh is simply another meal and to drink blood is to mock life, the enemy of Death.
Orcus has used his connections to Cyberware Facilities to weaponize his personal military force, giving him access to not only firearms but also ammunition, various vehicles, armor etc. He has been known to re-purpose soviet transport vehicles. The ranks of the cult are often filled with orphans, rebel soldiers, the homeless, anarchists, third world civilians, felons etc.
The Cult has a well defined ranking system, as follows-
- Orcus- Marshall and Guide of the Cult
- Charon Guard- The elite personal bodyguards of Orcus himself.
- Skull Master- A highly respected position within the Cult. Acts as a company commander
- Skull Hunter- A seasoned warrior within the Cult. Act as platoon leaders.
- Skull Thief- A promising soldier in Orcus' army. Act as squad leaders.
- Disciple- An initiate who has only killed less than ten individuals. The majority of the Cult is made up of these individuals.
