Laviethan Majiss Hellrage Part 1

Laviethan Majiss Hellrage

 My favourite character, and long lasting persona. I created him as a replacement for,what i consider to be, my first character Seth Dreden. He was inspired by an anime i love to this day, that, surprisingly enough, Sean showed me. The anime is Berserk featuring Guts, a tall man who's upbringing spawned his wielding of a sword much too large to be realistic. I would talk at length about him, but this post is about my character, so i digress. Laviethan is a human male, standing 7'6" tall. He originally started with long black hair, amethyst coloured eyes, and a mask. The mask was styled off of Mick Thompson's mask form the band Slipknot, whom i was really into at the time, especially him as a guitarist (the hair was styled after his as well). he was broad shouldered and muscular, with tanned skin.  As you can see these are all things i subconsciously idolized, being young at the time. Tall, muscular, tan, wielding larger than life weapons, being a fighter, and having a mysterious past.
 His original history was that he was born of wealthy nobles living in an unnamed city (I didn't get into great detail in history until i was older.) He was born so ugly that his parents couldn't stand to look at him (being all uptight nobles and whatnot) and so had a mask magically infused onto his face. They could still not bear it, as his face would haunt them, at night, and eventually while awake. So they cast him, in a basket, into a river (All Moses style.) He drifted until he found a bank and crawled out. (This is where a young mind fails at connecting age with plausibility, which is why it eventually changes.) On the bank, sometime after landing he is attacked by wolves, and fights them off with a stick. He is come across by a small group of orcs, who admire his strength, and the fact that his mask made him look mean. They raised him, but had no small weapons, so he trained to fight with a broadsword, which was too big for him at the time, starting his affinity and ability to use larger weapons. He becomes a powerful and fearsome orc raider, and grows to be the man i made him.
 With the help of Sean, he had enough feats, and the gods know, DM given leniencies to wield two 14 ft swords. Now i know your rational mind is measuring 14 ft and thinking... Wait a minute, ceilings aren't usually that tall how did that work. Calm down, i later realized this too, but rarely changed it :P. Besides, this is D&D, where the pack is in the inventory, but never in the character description or in the way for actions, and no one has to go to the bathroom in-game! The swords were modeled off of the Black Swordsman sword from Berserk. He was part of a raid that came across the party engaged in some weird circumstance, that involved a portal from the Warcraft universe to the Faerûn campaign setting, and as his orcs were mowed down he realized that he would be killed. Sean (who was the DM) used his DM powers and told me "you realize switching sides would be beneficial" and as a good player...i did. Thus began the saga of Laviethan!
 Eventually as they traveled and he became stronger and more renowned his mask was removed by Elminster, though his bloodthirsty ways were never extinguished. We were now in the fabled city of Silverymoon and i began my purchasing and using of the magical item "Tome of Gainful Exercise" to increase Laviethan's Strength (STR) score. To explain to you explicitly how high i got his STR score i will give you examples. In the world of D&D a normal man has a STR score of 10, giving him a +0 bonus to anything strength related, a strong man has an 11 (still +0) and a "Worlds Strongest Man" would have a 12 or 13 (+1 score.) An ape or ogre would have a score of 20-21 (+5), and a great wyrm gold dragon (which is the strongest and oldest and greatest of dragons) has a score of 46-47 which is a grand +18! Laviethan when i got out of that city had a 60 score, giving him a +25, and eventually he got it up to 76 (+33.) As you can tell, he was a pretty fantastical character to be sure.
 He prayed to the god Toar, who was a god created by Sean by putting other good gods together to combat the collaborative god Bane had become by eating other evil deities. And when he gave the heart of a fire giant as an offering to this war god, he was granted wings. Last thing that was going on in that game was him uprooting redwood-sized trees and replacing them within the ground as to avoid the wrath of the dryads in the area. This was my first use of Laviethan, but not by far my favourite or most memorable.

This is Laviethan Majiss Hellrage Part 1 and details his start and first game appearance. Will be doing Part 2 later. Part 2 will feature his best, his worst, and his remade history!
