Powers, Abilities, Skills, Strengths |
Immortality: After Jason's betrayal at Camelot, Merlin cursed him and bound him to the demon Etrigan "until the day this monstrous deed is atoned." As a result of this, Jason does not age physically and has lived over a thousand years hunting Morgaine Le Fey with no true indication of what will appease this curse of atonement. If the bond between Jason and Etrigan is ever severed, Jason would age and die however, as long as they are rejoined before death, he will revert back to his previous state prior to the separation. Multilingualism: Jason has been alive for over a century and has amassed many archaic and modern languages including Latin, the Romance family, the Germanic and Pro-Germanic family, and the entire Celtic language lineage. Occult/Demonology Expert: As Jason has lived for centuries and spends his centuries chasing down Morgaine Le Fey, a powerful sorceress, he has acquired a vast knowledge of the supernatural and arcane. Also being bonded to a demon has given him a deeper insight as to the denizens of Hell. He can also open portals to Hell and perform Exorcisms. Professor: As a professional demonologist and occultist, Jason has lectured on the subjects at various colleges and gatherings. Magical Aptitude: Jason is not a sorcerer in his own right. However he is able to conjure, cast spells, perform rituals and summonings, recite incantations, as well as create wards through books and other instruction. He must possess components, enchanted artifacts, or other sources of magic to be able to use magic as he has no innate magical ability. Over the years he has become quite adept and experienced at this type of magic. Mystical Attunement/Scrying/Clairvoyance/Visions: Jason has the ability to sense magical energies particularly those related to his nemesis Morgaine Le Fey. He can sense actions or activities at places of power and also track various mystical anomalies and energy signatures. Through meditation he can locate various mystical locations or spy on others via scrying tools like mirrors or crystal balls. Jason also sometimes can receive premonitions or visions. Alchemy: Along with his knowledge of the arcane, Jason is also an alchemist able to create potions, powders, and other concoctions with curative, defensive, or offensive properties. Combat Training: As a former knight serving under King Arthur, Jason is trained in all forms of medieval combat, particularly swordplay, and various other hand-to-hand combat. Equestrianism: Jason is extremely adept at riding horses, as that was the only form of transportation during his early life. He is also adept at sword fighting from horseback and jousting. He is very knowledgeable about the care and treatment of horses. Telepathy: Jason has at least some level of telepathy. (Example: He can enter the mind of another under psionic attack from another telepath to help them pull out of it.) He can also influence other's minds by empathically sharing his feelings and intention. Etrigan: In the form of Etrigan, Jason essentially becomes another being. Etrigan knows what Jason is thinking and is aware of the situations around him. Etrigan is a demon. He possesses superhuman strength and durability. He can wield arcane forces and cast powerful spells, teleport himself and others, trap his enemies behind a magical barrier, as well as project and manipulate fire and cold from his hands. He also has can cast an Eldritch Blast which is a form of fae magic projected from his hands. |
Weaknesses, Fatal Flaws |
Mortality: Though Jason is cursed and immortal as a result, he is not invincible and can still be killed as any normal human. Additionally, if someone were to separate Jason from Etrigan and break their bond, Jason would immediately begin to age and he would likely die soon after. Killing Jason will also kill Etrigan who is bound to him and Jason's soul condemned to Hell. Morgaine's Amulet: It is Jason's curse to hunt down and destroy Morgaine however she possesses an amulet that alerts her to his presence whenever he is near making it near impossible to surprise and intercept her. Reversion: If rendered unconscious, Etrigan will revert back to Jason's human form. Higher Magic: Both Jason and Etrigan are vulnerable to those with higher skill in magic than they are. Etrigan can be summoned or otherwise controlled by someone powerful enough with occult knowledge. Etrigan can be suppressed back into Jason's subconscious. Mystical Attunement: If there is great upset in the balance of nature and energy Jason/Etrigan can potentially feel it and be affected by it depending on the intensity of the situation. Apathy: As Etrigan he has little to no regard for human life. As Jason he often feels a disconnect from humanity as he is often forced to look at a larger picture and he has outlived many friends and loved ones making it difficult to form attachments to others. Hostile/Violent: As Etrigan, his behaviors and attitudes become very harsh and aggressive. It makes it difficult for him to work with others or for others to want to trust or work with him. He is also lacking in empathy or any kind of tact, speaking plainly and never trying to soften the blow of his words. He is quick to accuse and assign blame. He is also willing to kill to achieve his goals if necessary, particularly when it comes to thwarting Morgaine. Impatience: He also lacks patience, rushing into or approaching a situation in the most direct manner without necessarily thinking about the repercussions. Demonic Weakness: As Etrigan he is weak to various theologies such as idols, talismans, crucifixes, holy water, and true hallowed ground. He is also vulnerable to certain specific high-pitched sounds. |
Character History |
Jason Blood was once a Knight of Camelot during King Arthur's reign. He fell in love with Morgaine and conspired with her to overthrow Arthur so that the two of them could rule together. When Morgaine's forces attacked, he opened Camelot's gates and allowed the army entry to the castle, essentially sealing the kingdom's fall. Unfortunately for him he discovered Morgaine had simply used him and as he took her into his arms for a kiss, she poisoned him with high-pitched a bite. As Jason lay dying on the cold stone floor of Camelot castle watching as his once friends and allies perished, the wizard Merlin appeared to him condemning his actions. As punishment, Merlin placed a curse on Jason, bonding him with the demon Etrigan; "Thou art cursed, Jason Blood, until the day this monstrous deed is atoned. To mark thy eternal shame, I hereby bind thy soul to a creature of the pit. Look thee now, and see the face spawned of thy lust. The face of thy perdition. The face of thy inner demon." And so it was that Jason was bound to a demon and cursed for all time to hunt down Morgaine and destroy her. Over the years Jason became a renowned occultist and demonologist who combatted evil magic. He met and befriended Batman who trusted him with his secret identity as Bruce Wayne. Jason also made it a point to try and collect Morgaine Le Fey's mystical trinkets and artifacts which made him bid on a magical brand of Morgaine's. With the help of Bruce Wayne, he acquired it but Klarion stole it and used it to summon Etrigan and control him as his new master. Jason began to age swiftly, using his energy even faster as he cast spells to protect Batman from Etrigan and Klarion's onslaughts, and later himself when Etrigan came to kill him. Batman managed to reacquire the Brand and reunited Etrigan with Jason, and restoring Jason to his original state. Jason, and later as Etrigan, joined forces with the Justice League to thwart Morgaine as she searched for the Philosopher's Stone. Etrigan became frustrated with the League's blind trust of the Martian J'onn J'onzz who had been influenced by Morgaine's visions. He had betrayed them and almost brought her the stone but came around at the last moment. Jason reassured J'onn admitting he envied his strength and wondered how things might have been different for himself if he'd been as strong centuries ago. After Morgaine discovered the Amulet of First Magic and Mordred took it for himself, turning against her, Etrigan attempted to intervene. He was somehow turned into a baby and used as a tool to attack the de-aged Justice League. Even as a baby he was still formidable until subdued by Wonder Woman's chastisement. Etrigan then fought with them and assisted in the fight, damaging the amulet. Eventually they were triumphant and everyone was restored to their proper age. Jason Blood and Etrigan were some of those magical beings affected by the imbalance in energies when Faust took control of Tartarus from Hades. It was agony as he continued to transform back and forth or even just partially between his forms. When Hades was restored to the throne, he was freed from the wild magic causing him to change. Over the years Jason has made it his mission to track down Morgaine Le Fey and end her immortal interference. He also combats evil and dark magic whenever he can. He lectures on various occult subjects and is a known expect in many supernatural fields where he is sought after for advice and assistance. |
Sample Post |
Eternity. Forever. People throw these words around as if they could possibly comprehend how long those unknowable expanses of time truly are. As if they could understand the endless days and nights of time ever ticking by for someone who does not die. Seeing your friends and loved ones age and wither all the while knowing that you will continue on, cursed to suffer loss after loss. Doomed to an eternity alone and no way to escape it. Thunder crashed outside as rain began to pelt the windows of Jason’s Gotham apartment. He watched with little interest as a flash of lightning splintered across the sky and water droplets flowed down the glass like tiny rivers, pooling along the outside windowsill. It was a dark and dreary afternoon, another summer storm infecting the sunny sky in darkness and shadow. That suited Jason’s mood just fine. On the streets below there were people scrambling to open umbrellas or duck under awnings as they sought shelter from the sudden onslaught. Jason looked at them and felt nothing. Not pity, not resentment, not envy, not even a twisted glee at their misfortune. This emptiness that consumed him, it was a feeling that came and went sometimes, like the rolling in and out of the tides. But this time the crushing stillness inside didn’t seem to be receding even a little. The days were filled more and more with a sense of melancholy and disconnect from humanity. Perhaps it was Etrigan’s will slowly creeping into the corners of his mind, influencing him against the humans that had bound him thus. Or maybe it was an apathy of ages. Knowing the bigger picture tended to make the smaller things seem more trivial. It also made it more difficult to find the energy to be angry. And he was tired. The burden of so many years of chasing Morgaine Le Fey and failing wore on him more and more. How much longer would this go on? How much more of this could he endure? "Thou art cursed, Jason Blood, until the day this monstrous deed is atoned." Had he not yet atoned? Was the only way to do that to end Morgaine Le Fey’s reign? Did the other good he had done count for nothing on the great scales? Was he never to know peace? With such a vague timeframe who was to say that he would ever truly atone for the fall of an entire kingdom. Camelot wasn't just a place. It was a vision. A dream. An ideal. How did one make amends for destroying that which all should strive to be? He put a hand on the glass, feeling the cool smooth surface and the soft vibration of the rain. It felt like his senses were dulling by the day though whether it was a reality or a trick of his own weary mind, he couldn't be sure. He would have to find the strength to continue the fight somehow though he had little idea where to begin. When you had nothing to lose, you also had nothing to live for. |
Anything Else |
The rhyme to transform from Jason Blood to Etrigan is: "Gone, Gone the form of Man! Arise the Demon, Etrigan!" The rhyme to return him to Jason Blood from Etrigan is: "Gone now, O Etrigan, and rise again the form of man!" Jason Blood is an advocate of safe sex at any cost. |
