extra pic of Doga
Name: Doga Ratharan.

Age: Unknown

Height: 6ft 3

Weapon(s): Netami, the mimc blade and x2 miniature mimic blades housed within Netami's hilt.

Personality: Loud, Arrogant and abrasive due to spoiled childhood. Show's no remorse for ruthless, violent actions. Wants to be the ultimate power in the world and has no problems with cutting down anyone to achieve it.

Appearance: Despite being heir to a multimillionaires' estate, He dresses in worn combat clothing, consisting of loose robes and rugged leather armour. He does however like to keep his clothing looking clean. He also regularly dyes his hair, possibly to make himself look more youthful than he is.

Abilities: Ever growing power, fuelled by killing his opponents. An array of Superhuman attributes, the ability to mimic his opponents power within his weapon (magic/energy etc) and the ability to replenish small portions of his lost youth by killing his foes.

Bio: Doga is not your typical sort of villain. He wasn't raised to be an assassin, orphaned at an early age, or pushed into the life of evil by some life changing event. Instead he was born into a wealthy, famous family. He was loved by his parents and siblings, respected by the people that his father governed, and could want for nothing. You could even say that was spoiled and led a pampered life.
During a time of political upheaval in his homeland, Doga took an unusual interest in the power struggle between rival parties. As the events escalated and an inevitable war broke out, He continued his somewhat morbid fascination with the conflict. He would often run through various scenarios in attempts to determine which side would come out on top within a certain battle, and would think nothing of talking about the bloody battles on a whim. This troubled his parents, and they secretly started to make arrangements for physciatrical help.

Before long, Doga started to view the visits by his doctor as an unnecessary burden and began to fake progress, keeping his followings of the now worldwide war, secret. due to his pampered upbringing he began to question the validity of his family. What good was his father's vast wealth, if it could be lost in the blink of an eye because of politicians. What good was the respect of your followers, if you didn't have the strength to even defend yourself. It was this thinking that led Doga to leave home in search of a new 'power'.
Still at a young age, he found it difficult at first to find any leads, when one day he chanced upon word of a weapon that held an ancient power. Even with further investigation, he could find very few solid facts. Some say it was an angelic weapon, others demonic, some even stated it was forged long ago by the evils of the old world. But this wouldn't stop his search.

And after a long journey he found it!

The weapon reacted to his intentions immediately and flew from it's perch, stabbing Doga through the chest. As he lay on the ground dying, he could hear a voice talking to him, but could not make out a single word.
He awoke, and the world around him seemed smaller. upon seeing his reflection Doga saw that he had aged at least 30 years. He then started to recall parts of the conversation his subconscious had had with the ancient weapon. Having previously cast aside his wealth and easy lifestyle in search of true power, the weapon had asked him if he would cast off his youth too, and in his haste, he did. Surely enough the land was unchanged by time, yet he had gone from a small child to a middle aged man in an instant. But for its steep cost, there it was, he could feel it. the power he'd always wanted.

Over the following day's he soon came to grips with his new found power, challenging a great number of Warriors and Wizards. His new weapon allowed him to mimic the power's of the enemies he was facing. It had no blade of it's own, but instead would manifest it's edge based on his opponent. If he fought a pyomancer, the weapon would become wreathed in flame, a strong warrior however would give him a blade of raw kinetic energy. And when he had defeated that enemy, the weapon would retain some of the power it had mimicked. But it's power did not stop there, upon slaying an enemy he would receive a small portion of his youth back. Sometimes a day, others a year. But this drove him to seek to reclaim his lost time wherever he could. He soon questioned the "deal" he made with the ancient weapon, as it appeared he now aged more rapidly, giving him the need to continuously seek out foes to stop his ageing process.

Soon enough he was a feared force of evil, known throughout the land. He would challenge the strong, for no reason than to drain their bodies of youth and power.
To look at he looked little more than a vagrant, travelling swordsman, but he still spoke with the arrogance of wealth, however now talked only of killing his foes and becoming the most powerful being in existence. And every bloodied kill made him one step closer to achieving his goal.
Doga often thought back to his reasons for setting out on his quest for power as a child, and remembered the feeling, seeing his homeland ripped apart by the decisions of petty weak men. And his unspoken vow back then.

"If the world wants to slowly rip itself apart for small men's ambitions, then why not speed up the process and rule from atop the rubble?!"

Fame, Money, Women. Nothing compares to Doga, as much as unquestionable Power! But secretly, he fears that age and time will best him.


(((Totally a different character to what i'd original designed for this round, but i put off making that entry for too long in an attempt to get a nice portion of Ryak-Lo done ahead fo time. Then some IRL drawing based favours came up and i ended up with no time left.
my original idea was a very dark idea, but also very complex both in design and workings, so i'd never have got him done in time. he would of required various versions to show his unique abilities, including his skeletal and muscular workings :S so instead i went for a simpler idea which i did JUST TODAY lol. which in itself has been a bit of a bitch, as i'm currently fighting fever and sickness -.- uugggh)))
