Murchant’s
These are the worst of the worst evil beings under Infinity’s ranks. The most blood thirsty and murderous creatures you will ever meet. If one of them comes to claim your life, feel both screwed and honored. Because you have to be a real interesting character to attract their attention. Most of the time they are after armies or elite opponents. If you are a weak guy and they come after you. Its just something for them to do on a week day night.
The term Murchant is specifically spelled wrong. It is an abbreviation of the two words murder chanter.
Fern (Inferno)
Narrated by herself
I am the strongest of my kind and the most capable to serve. As far as the very front line that Infinity has to offer. My power is that of the strongest. I am both an avatar of a deity and a beyond. To be more powerful than I. You would have a limited time to kill me before you're reincarnated. And if that were the case Mistress would revive me in half a heartbeat.
That being said, I am a fairly easy person to get along with. I have a real dark sense of humor and because of that I tend to toy with others. I have tried to hide my accent from most. Truth be told I sound like a bar maiden from the old west days of Earth's country the states. Still I don't let much mockery go on before I just kill every body.
My story before I became a murchant is a typical story of a being chosen for greatness. I performed rituals of darkness, sacrificing people to Infinity. In the most awful and grotesque ways. One day Mistress herself appeared in person and offered me a chance to be of better use. After I had proven myself, Mistress took her blood and used it as tattoo ink. Now she can channel her power into my body through the ink.
Narrated by Mistress
My most faithful and deadly servant. Should anyone question her reputation, I will look forward to seeing them in hell. Where I will torture them personally for insulting her.
Fern's name is short for Inferno because she is the flame that burns hotter than hell fire. When I came to her sacrificing someone on a fire. I knew instantly she would be my right hand.
Sometimes I find her sick sense of humor entertaining and troubling. More than a few dozen times Fern has reported to me. Oh sorry I forgot you wanted them brought back alive. Could you revive them for me, I'll do better next time.
Glance
Narrated by Fern
He is one blood thirsty little guy. He's probably the most crazed of us all when it comes to killing and murder. When I first met him I got the distinct feeling he wanted my position. However it won't ever happen because Mistress made the Murchants immune to his power. Which is to kill with his gaze.
Glance has 3 attributes, he bares a death mark, he is an orphan and a summoner. The death mark means that he is easily to come to victory. His summon beasts are beholders that share his gift. And yes, he can not be killed permanently because he is an orphan.
The way his power works is if your eyes lock with his. It's an instant death, simple as that. If you keep your eyes closed around him. Glance can not kill you that way. When that trick doesn't work, he'll use his sword Shadow Reaper. Its a katana sword meant for phase play combat. The fighting style where nothing can be blocked just avoided.
His beholders are tricks of ill will, they can sound just like your favorite family member. Tricking you into opening your eyes and killing you instantly.
Glance is an aristocrat murderer, kind of like some theories of Jack the ripper. A gentleman's patience with a psychotic passion for murder. He is the second strongest Murchant to me.
Devas (Devastation)
Narrated by Himself
I like a science, meaning I long to compile results and create new effective ways. To kill in the most precise and logical way. Granted I am one powerful son of a bit, I like to keep my interests alive. Even after all this time destroying planets, city after city. An example of my research is that it's more painful to be shot to the right of the heart than the left.
When Mistress found me I had wished my place had been more clean. There were 3 people chained up in my cellar. With blood and body parts everywhere, I think of Mistress as a lady. The fresh smell of rotten flesh just made me feel all embarrassed.
Mistress gave me the power of telekinesis and claimed I was something called a tap. Had no clue what that was at the time, but who could complain. I went out into the street starting to rip people apart. Then cars, streets, windows, buildings, finally sky scrapers. It was such a rush, I couldn't stop. I felt more energized than when I was 7 and shot my father with his gun, ha ha!
I have the reputation of the mad scientist of the group, hell, I even wear a lab coat. It does tend to get blood on time after time. What I love most about my title, is that people get me science equipment for holidays.
I also really like to play with grenades.
Slice
Narrated by herself
I was filled with anger and desire to exact revenge. When you see an image of me with our without my mask. You would realize I have demons in my past. The thing with my face is a perfect example of my vengeance. While I was being assaulted by boys in more ways than one. They held fire to my flesh. Scarring my head for life.
Mistress found me in an alley, I gave a prayer to sell my soul for immunity. Now I can never die and I have a few tricks that I took advantage of. I sliced so many wicked people apart and I enjoyed it. Only after the last boy was ripped apart I saw the monster I had become. Now I can never die and I'm stuck killing for a worse woman. Than the people who hurt me for all that time.
I fell in love with a devil man named Devour, a beetle devil. It became my greatest curse, because Mistress will forever use his life. As a bargaining chip to keep me obedient and in line.
I have the reputation as the peaceful Murchant, had I not been named the 3rd strongest. I'm sure the others would have found a way to kill me off. Though I welcome any attempt for someone to end my life. It will never work though I cant ever die.
My power is to create blades with motion from unbreakable glass. The scythe I hold in my hand is my weapon of choice. The extent of my abilities are I could cut a large moutain into pieces if the mood caught me right.
Engrave
Narrated by Fern
A total ladies man, to the women who are stupid enough to go home with him. Engrave was a first born prince at one time. A talented warrior and strategic leader, he did his family proud and they loved him for it. However with every good take, there are a few skeletons in the closet.
Engrave would take peasants and nobles to his play room in the basement. Most of the time it was women down there. Against his family's wishes Engrave performed unspeakable atrocities to his victims. One day he took a royal princess down to his lair. Her father was furious for the things he did to her. A grand war broke out and Engrave claimed victory.
On the night of his victory Mistress allowed him to take her to his dungeon. When he realized she couldn't die Mistress offered him new power and the Murchant rank. He created a sigil under his entire castle city. In a moment it was consumed in fire and ash. Engrave didn't have a good reason to kill family and people. It just sounded cool at the time.
Engrave has two abilities to make physical whatever has been drawn. And the ability to create massive sigils that can stretch a hundred miles if needed.
Mist
Narrated by Fern
She is one cranky old bag of bones, not your typical senile murderous woman. Her power is to create mist with kinds of features in each batch. Poisoning vapor, stuff that could harm a person's brain, gas that is hotter than fire. It all depends on how she wants things to go during the battle.
Mist is a being called a relic, a person who gets stronger with age. Her kind are on the rare side, not the most common or most unseen race.
Mist had 3 grandchildren, her life revolved around them. Watching out for their safety and keeping them happy as can be. A prince with ill intensions visited her home. Demanding consistent services from her in battle. She told him to go to hell and a less than a week later the kids died from poisoning.
Mistress watched Mist, kill everyone in the castle. The prince soiled himself as Mist raised her dagger to kill him. Had he lived, due to mercy, he would have done nothing different.
Mistress appeared before Mist and offered her a bargain. Serve her and one week out of a year, she could be with her grandchildren. Mist responded that they needed to find peace in death. But she would fight for Mistress to make others like that prince pay. Not the way Mistress saw things going down, but whatever, she thought.
Face
Narrated by Fern
He’s weakest as far as power goes but the second most skilled in our group. Face has the personality of a robot, he lacks any emotion other than rage. This is in short the perfect hit man. Face won't think twice in killing a political leader, evil man or a family of 8.
Face has a number of masks carved from trees where he's from. Each mask has a different power and effect on his metal hand. The hand turns into a different metal weapon with each mask. An example would be the elephant mask which will make a spiked mace. The weapon and power flow harmoniously together.
I don't know great detail from Face's past. He lost a love interest and just killed everyone because of it. Honestly I couldn't care less about him other than in battle. When I want to have fun with a friend I go drinking with Engrave.
Mistress once told me how she met him, in came up in conversation. I don't remember how it did though. Face summoned her, he has nothing left to fill his life and he wanted darkness. Mistress gave him a trial period and he proved to be worth the rank of Murchant.
