Laviethan Majiss Hellrage Part 2

Laviethan Majiss Hellrage
The Laviethan as i think of him now was spawned and reformed in a game that has come to be referred to as "The Laviethan Game", and is the way i make him in each subsequent game following. I feel i should give some more back history, as far as that game goes. After making Laviethan for Sean's game, when i was still in the 8th grade, is when i met the love of my life; Cheyenne Autumn Craig. our meeting and re-meeting is under strange circumstances but best saved for a more appropriate blog, so ill only give whats necessary. Our friend Kc gave Cheyenne my email and yahoo id in order o get a hold of me in the 9th grade when we were going to Excelsior Education Center (Its a 'home studies' style school that lets you choose whether to take on-campus classes for help, or do your work at home) and Cheyenne was on-campus with Kc and i was not. We began talking again and at some point the subject of RPing came into conversation and she was interested. So began my first, and best, experience as a DM. I had her make a character and started her in Faerûn and had her meet Laviethan. Her character was Angel Syrein Moonlight, a female half dark-elf (Drow)half-vampire. her character was modeled in look after a picture i had found of a female version of Dante from Devil may Cry 2 (as seen above.) The plot had to do with both of them being Chosen of Aeo (an alternate spelling of Ao the over-god of Toril, where Faerûn is) and with that came great adventure and turmoil. Later in the game Kc, and our friend Deric, joined for a short period. It didn't last, but some really good plot came from the encounter. (I'm going to attempt to put as much of the plot and actual storyline into a later blog as i can, which will also be split into sections.) They went on to be married and so she became Angel Syrein Hellrage. Laviethan in this game was more diplomatic, smart and calculative, instead of the brute he was in Sean's. This mirrored my growing passion for intelligence and knowledge gain. His back history changed as well. He was the son of Alustriel Silverhand and Szass Tam, back before he became a lich. He had become enamoured with Alustriel, though he was evil, and when she bore him a son he took Laviethan away. When Laviethan was still young (somewhere at 3-6) he was sent to the Abyss to be tortured and taught the ways of evil. This is where he got his mask and his brand. The brand was the same mark that Guts gets in the Berserk series and in my game it was a way for demons to track and sometimes control him. Alustriel found out and ask for help from Aeo to get him back, and in return Laviethan would be Aeo's chosen and do his bidding as a champion. He gained his wings through service to Aeo, and grew to be the greatest champion the world over. With renown and fame he traveled until he came upon Angel in a small town, as he had been under Aeo's direction to find the next Chosen. I eventually came to change small portions of this as well. I realized that some inconsistencies still lay before me. First was his name. (Which i will explain how i got it) The name Laviethan i created based on the creature Leviathan which meant "1 a monstrous beast, esp.  2 any huge or powerful thing" and i changed the spelling to be a name. Majiss was a word i came across while looking in Google under the word "Insane" meaning "Absolutely Insane" (though to this day i can't find the source again.) and Hellrage was an offshoot of my brothers character Hellsing, which he got from the show he loved when he made his character "Hellsing" his characters first name was even Alucard. Hellrage was meant to denote anger and wrath from Hell itself. As far as the inconsistency was concerned, his last name was Hellrage, and Alustriel's was Silverhand. Which was small i know, but then came his size and strength that was explained through magic in the other game, but in this game had no source. His updated back history includes him being a different race called Ander, and is from a different planet, who are exceptionally strong and smart and born with wings, and when he was sent here (not because his hometown blew up or anything...just because) Alustriel took him in, and when she had her affair with Szass Tam he stole her new-found child, and the history continues along with the other I'd created. I eventually made Alucard Hellsing (Sean's character) Laviethan's brother who'd changed his name when he had become famous.

In my next post i will be starting my recounting of Laviethan and Angel's journeys together.
