# Supername - The Piper
# Alignment - Villian
# Type - Minor/disgraced god.
# Weakness - Allergic to quartz and fuschias. Abilities are weakened signifigantly by the presence of pumice.
# Abilities - Piper has the ability of influencing minds (Hence the name Piper, as he 'bewitches' his victims into obeying/following him). Essentially mind control. If given time (the length of which depends on how weak the person's mind is) can convert people into mental slaves.
Piper's ability is much weaker then it was before he was disgraced - however, he is slowly regaining his original strength and desires to take revenge on the gods who cast him out.
# Personality- Piper is snake charmer who will poison you with his snake's venom after he finishes his song. His surface personality varies on a day-to-day basis - however, he is ultimately cruel and apathetic towards anyone but himself. He has been known to throw tantrums if he does not get his way, and when being himself can be rather vain and pretentious. He does not care for mortals, but occasionally takes interest in supers (If only for the oppurtunity to brainwash them.)
# More About His Powers - While Piper does indeed carry a pipe (mostly for show) his powers are actually channelled through rocks. Certain rocks are bad for him (The worst being quartz, which he is 'allergic' to) and another one being pumice, from which his power is merely sucked into and leaked out from. The best rocks for him are gemstones or obsidian. His pipe is made of obsidian and doubles as a weapon with a hidden razor edge, although he rarely engages in physical combat.
# Occupation- Being a generally unlikable bastard. However, he also owns a chain of bars and clubs.
# Appearance -
Varies, though he prefers the mysterious, hooded look. He prefers modern clothing, though generally his looks are inspired by picturebooks. He is very vain and his clothing is always immaculate, although slightly gaudy as he has a slight obsession with shiny objects and carries his various rocks around with him in forms of jewelry.
He likes having his hair black or dark red, and goes for a ruffled, messy look. His hair is always kept above shoulder length but always longer then his earlobe.
His eyes are grey with flecks of green. He is slightly lanky and lean rather then muscled. He is 6'2.
His cheekbones are high and angled, and his nose is slightly hooked and thin. He occasionally wears an eyepatch on his right eye, but that is only according to his whims - he has nearly perfect vision.
# History -
Piper was a minor god (However, fairly well known) when he got into a rage after being rejected by his love, the goddess of luck and killed her in a fit of fury. Unfortunately, the goddess had been one of the major gods' harem, and the god punished Piper by disgracing him and stripping him of his status and the majority of his power. However, the god had been merciful, because Piper was the son of his sister, and did not kill him or banish him.
Unfortunately, Piper was not so merciful or forgiving. Weak and virtually powerless, he nursed his anger and lust for revenge until he recovered some of his strength. He is currently in the process of enslaving or very occasionally befriending supers in order to unleash an attack of revenge upon the court of the gods from which he was banished.
# Weapons
Piper is proficient in knife and hand to hand combat, as well as knowledge of a few guns. However, he has a low pain tolerance so rarely fights battles personally.
# Genres Action/Drama, possibly Comedy/Romance
# Permissions Please ask first, but I don't really have a problem with anybody using him xD
# Extra Information
An easily corruptible, or stupid, person would probably still believe that it's their own actions and choices. Somebody more aware, or with similiar abilities (To Piper) would be able to tell, but this depends on that person's own strength as well as Piper's.
While Piper is still weak, the mind control can be broken fairly easily, and requires his constant attention to upkeep it. When broken, it causes disorientation, sleep loss, confusion and perhaps a few hallucinations. It can be broken in several ways - if somebody, for instance, had an ability that was able to negate his, then any of his mind controls would be broken. If he loses concentration, or if he neglects to keep a watch on the ones being controlled, it's possible that they will also 'snap' out of the control. It may be possible while he is weaker to convince a person that they are being controlled - but this is an imperfect solution as they will still have thoughts and actions placed into their head by Piper, they'll just be more aware of it and perhaps able to resist slightly.
When he is stronger, the effects of breaking the mind control would be more serious, but again, this depends on how long that person has been under the control and how strongly Piper has been upkeeping it. It is possible that it would break the mind of the person who freed themselves, or permanently damage their mind.
His loss of status made him disappear quickly from the mainstream culture. I should have clarified originally, but Piper was not the name he was known as when he was a god. He lost his godname when he was cast out, and took the name Piper upon himself.
There is a rumour that somebody not quite human owns the chain of clubs, but many people are unaware that Piper is the boss - as he has controlled subordinates who manage it for him.
# About Piper's Former Identity And The Court Of Gods
Piper was formally Tyoth, god of mental afflictions and thought. He is - or rather was - the son of the Dreamer, goddess of dreams and sleep.
While a minor god, he often made a personal appearance in the court of gods, courtesy of his high-ranking mother. In this way, he became fairly well known, both amoung the mortal and immortal races, and slowly grew in strength as the number of people paying respects to him grew.
Piper's uncle, Dor, held the highest position in the gods, ruling over life. Dor had a wife, Isiphe, who was the goddess of luck and chance. Isiphe was very beautiful, and Piper fell in love with her.
Piper, mad with desire and lust, attempted to steal Isiphe - however, she spurned him, which threw him into a fit of rage. Blinded by anger, he killed Isiphe.
When the gods found out his terrible crime, his judgement took three months - with Dor speaking for his head, but with his mother and several lesser deities (Who were later found to have been controlled by Piper) asking for mercy.
Eventually, Piper was disgraced, stripped of his title and cast into the mortal world as nothing more then a human.
However, Piper retained his power by hiding his second heart - in which all gods stored the base of their abilities in a volcano.
Weakened and nearly mad from grief and anger, he dedicated himself into returning to the court - and destroying the ones who had cast him out.
