Demon Lord, Orcus

Image © TSR Inc, by Todd Lockwood.

[Sponsored by @tar-baphon. Orcus is one of the iconic D&D villains, and through the SRD and plausible deniability (he's a Roman god!), he's in Pathfinder as well. In Pathfinder, he is deliberately not a power player, and my flavor text takes that already metatextual decision and runs hog wild with it.

A note on the art: I feel like Orcus is emblematic of when D&D was seen as dangerous, and this piece absolutely feels like it should be the cover of a Black Sabbath album. It's no surprise that I was fascinated with the anti-D&D strain of the Satanic Panic when I was a kid. Also, although there has been some course correction in the 5e era, there's a trend with Orcus in a lot of art, including his official Pathfinder depiction, of making Orcus buff. Let Orcus be fat!]

Demon Lord, Orcus CR 28 CE Outsider (extraplanar) This humanoid is a corpulent giant with skin mottled like a decaying corpse. He has great black bat-wings growing from his shoulders, hooves for feet, and the head of a goat. He clutches a short staff, tipped with an oversized human skull.

Orcus, Prince of Undeath CE male demon lord of death, necromancy and wrath Domains Chaos, Death, Evil, Magic Subdomains Demon, Divine, Murder, Undead Favored Weapon heavy mace Unholy Symbol a goat’s head with curving horns Worshipers liches, necromancers, sapient undead Minions boneclaws, deathdrinkers, demons, other undead For information on his Obedience and boons for his worshipers, see Book of the Damned

Orcus is one of the most powerful demon lords in the Universe. But not on Golarion. On that world, his is one of a number of undead cults, and not nearly the most popular. Orcus has a clear hierarchy to what undead he considers truly worthy, with those created from contagion seen as inferior to accident, and those inferior to those who intentionally seek out undeath. His most dedicated worshippers on Golarion are liches, some of whom have learned the secret of crafting a phylactery by teasing apart the Prince of Undeath’s wisdom from his threats. The followers of many other undead-focused religions, particularly vampires and ghouls, see Orcus as pretentious and unworthy of dedication, although few are foolish enough to directly oppose him.

Orcus himself knows that his star has fallen. In his extensive research into planar lore, Orcus has learned that he was once the most feared being in another universe, who went on a killing spree that left several gods dead and an entire race of lawful outsiders duped into being his pawns. That Orcus cannot accomplish this level of power in this version of reality vexes and frustrates him, and he takes his rage out on his minions as much as he does his foes.

Orcus is a genius tactician, although his temper sometimes gets the better of him. He enjoys combat as a distraction from his cosmic-level sulk, and as a way of expressing his power over others. He typically opens combat with a time stop to summon allies and cast defensive spells on himself, and then unleashes a potent death effect as soon as the duration expires. Against creatures that can resist his negative energy and poison, he uses dispelling magic. On more than one occasion, Orcus has beaten a cocky archmage to a pulp by centering an antimagic field on himself and wading into combat.

Orcus in the Great Game Orcus’ response to the brewing theomachy between Mormo and Lamashtu is cautious optimism. He desires more power in the Abyss, and Lamashtu could open the door for him to seize it. Kabriri and Zura are at the top of Orcus’ hit list, but views a direct assault on them as currently too risky to be worth the effort. If one of them were to make a move against Lamashtu and be punished for it, or if they were struck down in the scramble for power following Lamashtu’s (theoretical) demotion or demise, Orcus would happily swoop in to finish them off. And if Mormo is capable of legitimately slaying a god, Orcus will be very keen to study her techniques.

Wand of Orcus (major artifact) The Wand of Orcus is the Prince of Undeath’s scepter of office, and it never leaves his side. Lesser versions have appeared in the Material Plane, often created by Orcus or one of his high-level clerics. The real Wand of Orcus is a Huge +5 anarchic, unholy heavy mace. In the hands of a demon, it grants a +4 profane bonus to Armor Class. The first time the Wand of Orcus strikes a living creature in a round, that creature is subject to a slay living spell (DC 30). Weight 24 lbs.; CL 25th

The save DC is Charisma based. Epic Spellcasting (Ex) Orcus gains Mythic Spell Lore as a bonus feat. Once per day, he can use one of his spell-like abilities or spells as if it was a mythic spell without spending a use of mythic power.

Master of Death (Ex) Orcus applies his Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus (necromancy) feats to his spell-like abilities.

A creature reduced to 0 Str by Orcus’ poison cannot breathe and begins to suffocate. The save DC is Constitution based. Spells Orcus can cast spells as a 20th level cleric, and can prepare necromancy spells from the sorcerer/wizard list as if they were cleric spells. He gets access to domain slots, and can fill them with spells from any of his domains or subdomains. He can also spontaneously cast inflict spells as an evil cleric can. Summon Demons and Undead (Sp) When Orcus summons demons, he can also summon undead creatures.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks....

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

I always find these types of questions difficult to answer because I don't have a set list of characters ranked somewhere, especially if we're talking about all types of media, but I'm going to cheat a bit and look at my favorites from Mal. So, this will focus mostly on anime characters as that is the type of media I consume the most, with some others thrown in there as I remember. Not particularly in order:

1. ZURA. from Gintama

He's also the one from my profile icon. I love this guy. He's a fucking idiot. And he is absolutely hilarious he never fails to crack me up no matter what mood I'm in. I have a lot of characters from Gintama I love, but I tried to stick to just one from the entire series or they would take up all ten spots here, and from the entire cast, I have to give it to Zura. He's a terrorist, and comes up with the stupidest of plans, like flipping the toilet paper of his sworn enemy, LOL. He can go on and on about a story while he's driving a car and doesn't realize he is crashing in the meantime. And hence why he can't get a license (and the only reason he needs a license in the first place is so that he can get an ID to be able to rent DVDs of outdated dramas he thinks are trending [they're not]). I have to give praise to Sorachi, the mangaka. He must have been on crack while writing Zura scenes xD

2. Griffith from Berserk

Griffith. Beautiful Griffith.

Griffith gets a lot of hate and deservedly so, and there's a lot of Griffith apologists out there, but I love him. I fucking love him. He's such a well-written character. The best unreliable of narrators, though for most of the story we don't actually get into his head and only that of his archnemesis, his friend, the object of his dreams and desires, his ultimate source of failure, and success, later, I guess - Guts. So we only see how Guts sees him, and it's such a tragic story because the assumptions that Guts makes about him, the way he adores him and grows to hate him, they make sense, but to us as the viewers who know these two just loved each other so much to the point they threw away what they cared about the most - it's such a good story. I mourn for Miura and the story he never finished telling.

3. Joe from Ashita no Joe and Megalo box

Yabuki Joe.

This poor boy. I mention both Ashita no Joe and Megalo box because Megalo box was an anniversary special project based off of Ashita no Joe. Not another adaptation precisely, but more of a modern cyberpunk approach to the classic with more mature themes. I love both versions of Joe. In the older classic, you have this orphan boy that is happy roaming around doing nothing with his life, until he meets this drunk man that shoves boxing down his throat. It's your typical sports plot of stacking up win after win, until it isn't. The difference is in the characters, and their suffering, their growth. You learn to love Joe. He's an annoying little brat that wins your heart gradually, and towards the end, when it's over, you feel as though you've lost a friend.

In Megalo box, Joe is a bit older, and is dealing with things that are very real and that the og Joe would have also had to deal with, had things turned out differently. It's a great complement to the original. An AU of sorts.

4. The Fool from the Elderling series by Robin Hobb

The Fool. Beloved. Amber. They have many names and aliases, from Robin Hobbs' fantasy series The Elderlings.

Beloved is such an interesting character, not defined by any societal expectations and always confusing everyone with their words. We watch them grow throughout the series, from the king's creepy little jester that unsettles others, to an adult that is admittedly treated very harshly by the author (the story) but I still love to death. Here are some of my favorite quotes by the Fool:

"You are confusing plumbing and love again."

“As for what it means, how should I know? I’m a fool, not an interpreter of dreams. Good day.”

"Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less."

“I have never been wise”

“Don’t do what you can’t undo, until you’ve considered what you can’t do once you’ve done it.”

5. Yang Wenli from LOTGH

Yang Wenli from the Legend of the galactic heros. A classic anime series and one of my favorites. Again, I struggled to only choose one character from the series, because I really love Reinhard as well- the other main character, but from the two I had to to with Yang Wenli.

LOTGH is a space war epic between two different states, the old galactic empire, and the newer, democratic planets alliance that broke free. Yang Wenli belongs to the latter. And while it may sound like the better choice-and he thinks so, as well-it's only the better choice from a theoretical standpoint. Because the one he's up against from the empire, Reinhard, is a wonderful leader. The kind that comes around only once in a century. Meanwhile the so called democracy is corrupt and ugly. Heading downhill while the empire is only getting better. And that's where the two collide. I love Yang Wenli for his idealism, his self awareness of his flaws, and those of others. He once says, 'if I was born in the empire I'd be flocking to join Reinhard's ranks'.

He's a realist, and a damn genius. And that's where the tragedy and irony strikes- because of the badly led and structured democracy he's in, he doesn't have full command of the army. He doesn't have any real power. All the corruption and red tape don't allow him to do much, to use his full potential, so he's always a step behind.

And yet. All he wants in life is to retire peacefully. He didn't even want to be a soldier, but he's dragged there by others, a bit of a pushover that he is. He's a tragic character really. Full of contradictions that he himself is aware of, and you can't help but love him for it.

6. Zhou Zishu from tian ya ke/word of honor

Zhou Zishu.

He is just. So. Relatable.

A burnt out man in his early 30s/late 20s who only wanted to live his last few years in peace. Essentially committed slow suicide to get the fuck out of his job because he couldn't take it anymore. We've all been there. Not that I'd take such drastic measures but. Who hasn't fantasized getting into an accident on their way to work to, you know, not go to work? Just me? OK. Moving on lol (according to reddit it's actually quite common. Sad that we live like this. Kudos to zishu for doing something about it).

The novel (tian ya ke) is quite different from the drama (word of honor), where the gif is from. The characterization is also a bit different, and I have to say I prefer novel! Zishu over drama! Zishu. He's more free, more shameless, learns to live without shackles and is not your typical protagonist. In fact, he's no protagonist at all. He's really just a side character, despite being the narrator of the story. Like many of us. But the man learns to be happy. Learns to fly free.

7. Wen Kexing from tian ya ke/word of honor

I broke my own rule about one character per series because there is no way I can have A'Xu (Zhou Zishu from above) listed anywhere without his Lao Wen. They come as a package anywhere they go. Anywhere. So here is my favorite malewife Wen Kexing. A beautiful, eerie man that looks more like a ghost. Knows how to cook. Knows how to clean. Knows how to split your throat in half with his bare fingertips.

He's terrifying. The king of all "ghosts"- the most brutal criminals. He's also someone that learns how to lower his defenses for the first time in his life. How to be a little bit selfless for once. To care for another. He's the one that teaches Zishu how to he shameless. He's fucking hilarious, a flirt, an unashamedly gay man that takes pride in all the men he's fucked and yet will cry crocodile tears to Zishu to let him get it on, and then he'll thank his dead sister for it later. I love these idiots. They're perfect for each other.

Also prefer the novel version of Wen Kexing, but the drama has a perfect cast and beautiful robes. I've got two replicas of them!

8. Nodame from Nodame Cantabile

Idiotic Nodame. Love this girl. She's hilarious and silly and isn't embarrassed to go after what she wants, even if she makes a fool of herself.

She's an aspiring pianist. A piano student to be precise, on the older side compared to her peers. But she's really great at it. Not in the traditional way, because she does things in her own way-- she's with the teacher designated for the worst students and spends an entire semester (or years? It's been a bit, I don't remember) composing a song about farts LOL.

She's a really likeable character, and what I really love about her is her stubbornness and grit to stick to what she wants. It's not something easy to do, and oftentimes we have to make decisions against our own wishes, especially when it comes to our careers. Nodame tries, but all she wants is to be a kindergarten piano teacher, but everyone tells her she shouldn't do that. In the end, her choices are hers and hers only.

9. Balsa from Moribito

I recently finished this anime and fell in love with the MC, Balsa.

It's not often we see strong female leads in anime, that are not only well written but stand on their own without relying on romance or other characters. She's an incredibly strong woman, both physically and emotionally. The series focuses on her growth and her bond with the little burden she's tasked to care for.

She is a little selfish, perhaps a bit too cold. Plain looking, and very much an adult at 30. And she looks like it! Not something you see often in anime. She's a great fighter, and through her journey with this child that she has to care for, she learns of a different kind of strength. And yet, towards the end, she's still the same lone woman we meet at the beginning. Someone simply just... living.

10. Renge from Non Non Biyorin

Little Renge. I adore her. She's adorable and so, so funny.

From Non Non Biyorin, which I also love to bits because I grew up in the country and the country life humor just sends me.

She's a 6 yo child that is smarter than the 8th graders, and always so serious about everything she does, even the cold corner store owner has a soft spot for her. She's like a cat. Really cute, really funny, and really mean, even unintentionally.

Ugh. I miss this show. I wish we had more seasons!

#asks #sorry that took me so long #typing this all up took forever #then I couldn’t decide in the last one but settled for Renge because she's best girl #top favorite #favorite characters

Episode 5: Make Friends You Can Call By Their Nicknames, Even When You’re an Old Fart

This was a much bigger episode that I remembered it to be. Not only were there many debuts of extremely important characters like Katsura and the Shinsengumi, but we gained much more insight into Edo’s current political state.

The opening plot of the bombing was dare I say, iconic. The comedy in this episode, again, much better than the last.

And Katsura debuts! It’s very strange to see him all serious and extremist knowing the shit he gets up to later on. The Shinsegumi also debuts this episode (notably Sougo and Hijikata) though their quirks are more in display ccmpared to Katsura’s.

We get a huge lore bomb in the form of hints at Gintoki’s past of being the Shiroyasha, (The subs translated it as White Knight, but I’ll pretend I never saw that.) one of the heroes of the Amanto war, fighting alongside Katsura.

“If you've got time to fantasize about a beautiful death, why not live beautifully until the end?”

To tell the truth, I was getting misty eyed when this came on. No matter the amount of times this scene was parodied, it’s still so special to me. Its simplicity and beauty genuinely changed my life. Obviously Gintoki is going against the Bushido code of honor here, but it reflects his philosophy well. Protecting who he wants to protect, and living life beautifully until the end. This is the first glimpse of the Joui war that we’ve been shown so far, and it really adds to the intrigue of Gintoki’s character.

Obviously this is war propaganda talk that Zura is spouting, but you can’t help but think what he actually means is “You worry about this country, and are angry with the Bafuku and the Amanto for taking Shoyo-sensei away from you.”

“Inside, you’re still fighting, Gintoki.” becomes “You must be suffering more than everyone else.”

Real meet-cute here. Hijikata’s eyes are so blue in this it made me realize that Gintoki and Hijikata are built to be the complete opposites of each other in terms of visuals. Gintoki with his silver hair and red eyes, Hijikata with his dark hair and blue eyes. Sougo trying to blow Hijikata up was classic Sougo.

I’m also quite fond of the early soap opera gags too, to be honest.

Now, we see the conflict and contrast between Gintoki and Katsura. We’ve already gotten a glimpse of this from the Joui War flashback, with Katsura giving up but Gintoki facing forward. In this case, Katsura is the one stuck in the past and refusing to move on. Gintoki is the opposite of that.

Again, Gintoki restates his principles while proving that his eyes truly shine in closeups.

The hot potato bomb segment was super funny, and the episode ended on sort of a bittersweet note. Perhaps that smile means he’s been affected by his words. If the person who should be the most furious towards the world is living life beautifully, then… (Also Zura is extremely pretty here)

Again, big episode. Ginpachi sensei and 3Z debuts, along with his iconic Lollipop.

This was the best episode by far. I love this show.

20+, Semi-active, Semi-selective, OC. Currently indulging in the One Piece fandom but originally fandomless.

About/Introduction:

Heya! I'm Kyra (she/her). I'm over 25 years old and do not interact with minors. On occasion i will be MIA/hiatus, but I'm free mostly on the weekends. Forgive me if I am slow in posting or disappear from time to time. Apparently i need to validate my age now as I was called a minor so here goes:

I remember first hour math class in high school during 9/11 - graduated 2004

i rocked out to Fraggle Rock (childrens program circa 1980s) as a toddler

i remember snow on the ground in October and going trick or treating in a snow suit because it was that cold (Midwest USA, circa '91)

Interactions:

Please feel free to follow and/or message me if you are interested in interacting! I do not always follow back right away, especially for multi-muse blogs where I am not sure which muse you'd like to interact with. But I am open to asks, messages, etc. from non-mutuals as well! Talking is always a plus!

Please be advised though, when the muse hits I can be very active, but at the same time it depends on how my writing process is going. I also do use icons or if it is hard to describe i will throw in a gif of her being a smart-ass or her giving a look.

Shipping / Relationships:

Please talk to me about this. Don't try to force it or intimacy because let's face it, she's violent and will shoot, and she has really good aim. I would prefer to work on pre-establishing something to work with, however she is a flirt and manipulative to either get out of trouble or get her way.

About my OC:

OP verse

Kanrya 'the Kitsune' Zura, Rya to her friends, considers herself a smuggler granted her ties to more infamous names such one of the four Emperors. She doesn't remember much from her childhood past the point of being abducted by slavers, breaking free and scuttling the ship on an island where she was picked up by Shanks. She does have faded dark marks around her wrists and ankles as well as a light circle around her neck where the shackles and collar sat though from years in the sun it has faded a bit. With some of my mutuals it is well known that she does have a child by the 4th commander of the Whitebeards, by the name of Thaddeus. She took his fathers death hard, and after the Marineford events, being forced to work for Doflamingo under threat of her childs life, and being an informant to bring about his downfall. If you don't want a munchkin running around let me know.

Baldur's Gate verse

Still considering of how to bring this about. Will likely need a sounding board on this. Have a couple of ideas but nothing solid. Would still likely have her as a smuggler or possible Zhentarium or Guild member. Would likely be a rogue. maybe have some assassin training? Like I said I definitely need a sounding board.

Other verses pending

Love how Takasugi came to aid Tatsuma and Zura when they were fighting the liberation army. Like he pulled up with his old war outfit, saved Zura, and said “if anyone is going to destroy the world then it’s going to be me” he’s such an icon, i love him

Title: The Unwavering Affection for Katsura Kotaro in Gintama

Introduction

In the vast realm of anime and manga, certain characters have the uncanny ability to capture the hearts of viewers and readers alike. Among these beloved characters, Katsura Kotaro from the anime series Gintama stands out as a prime example. Katsura's unique combination of charisma, humor, and depth of character has endeared him to fans worldwide. In this essay, I will delve into the reasons why I love Katsura Kotaro so much from Gintama.

Unconventional Heroism

Katsura Kotaro defies the conventional image of a hero, and that's precisely what makes him so captivating. Unlike the traditional hero who exudes confidence and infallibility, Katsura is a bumbling, well-intentioned rebel. His numerous failed attempts at rebellion against the oppressive government and his constant run-ins with the law paint a picture of a character who refuses to give up in the face of adversity. This persistence and unwavering commitment to his beliefs are qualities that resonate deeply with viewers.

Quirky Sense of Humor

Gintama is renowned for its humor, and Katsura Kotaro plays a pivotal role in delivering some of the series' most memorable comedic moments. His deadpan delivery, absurd disguises, and hilarious catchphrases like "Zura ja nai, Katsura da!" have become iconic in the anime community. Katsura's ability to seamlessly transition from a serious revolutionary to a comically inept character adds a layer of complexity to his personality that keeps viewers entertained and invested in his character.

A Heart of Gold

Beneath Katsura's eccentricity and penchant for theatrics lies a character with a heart of gold. His unwavering loyalty to his friends, particularly Gintoki and Takasugi, showcases his genuine care and concern for those close to him. Katsura's willingness to sacrifice his own well-being for the greater good is a testament to his selflessness, making him a character with whom viewers can empathize and admire.

Deep-rooted Ideals

Katsura's character is defined by his unwavering commitment to his ideals of freedom and justice. His determination to overthrow the oppressive government and create a better world for his fellow citizens is a driving force that resonates with anyone who values the pursuit of justice and freedom. Katsura's willingness to challenge the status quo and stand up for what he believes in makes him a symbol of hope and inspiration in the Gintama universe.

Relatability

Despite his eccentricities, Katsura Kotaro's struggles and aspirations are profoundly relatable. His journey to find his place in a world filled with chaos, corruption, and uncertainty mirrors the challenges and uncertainties that many individuals face in their own lives. Katsura's ability to persevere and adapt in the face of adversity serves as a source of motivation and encouragement for viewers.

Conclusion

Katsura Kotaro from Gintama is a character who has captured the hearts of fans for a myriad of reasons. His unconventional heroism, quirky sense of humor, unwavering ideals, and relatability make him a character who stands out in the world of anime and manga. My love for Katsura stems from his multifaceted personality, his ability to evoke both laughter and empathy, and his embodiment of enduring principles in a world that often challenges them.
