Original Appearance

Spoiler:

Argonath practices great emotional restraint, always maintaining a calm and disciplined composure despite the furious rage that often boils within him. Additionally, he seems to have his own twisted code of honor that he follows. As he was once a protector god (possibly even a god of Gienus version of Knights) he always tries to make any fight he comes across as fair as it can be. Choosing to not do things that would give him too much of an advantage over his foes even at times if it would be tactically sound to do so. He does this as a way to fight with his own twisted sense of honor and to prove that even at their best they do not measure up to his greatness. That said if the individual is in the way of his goals, or has attempted to disrupt his plans more than once he will not extend this honor to them (unless he is actually impressed with them for some reason) and will crush them as swiftly and soundly as possible.

As a God of War, Argonath is a tactical genius. Able to formulate battle strategies, counterstrategies, strategic defensive measures, political maneuvers that would astound long running politicians and ideas that would confound even generals. He is a patient God. Able to sit on his heels and wait in the shadows as long as is need be before striking. But when he does act, woe is anyone who gets in his way or feels his wrath. An unrelenting tide of fire and brimstone. The Arbiter of the Damned has been wronged one too many times and when his ire is unleashed it is hard to bottle back up again.

The entirety of his being is based in destroying what others have built, tearing them down and building them back up in some other form. His original mission, which has been lost even to him, was to help the people of his world break down their walls and build them back up better than before. To protect them from all that would seek to bring them harm, even if that meant themselves. Now though? Now he wants to conquer them. The entirety of his home dimension is not worthy to lick the dirt off his boots and he proved that when he ruled them with an iron fist. After his banishment he seeks to take those in this world home with him. To rule not one but two worlds.


The story of Argonath Belzenlock takes place in a universe like our own save for a few key differences. For instance, the things you read about in fantasy books do indeed exist there. Things such as dwarves, elves, monsters, magic, and Gods. When The First breathed life into this universe they sculpted the planet Gienus with care, placing their first children there to watch over their creations when they were gone. These original children would become the Gods of Gienus, powerful beings with the ability to shape the elements and magics of the world to their desire. Using the power, they were gifted and gained to better serve their intended domains. Some were caretakers, gardeners, protectors, wrathful storms. Yet, despite all their differences they all had one thing in common. They needed the people of Gienus to live just as much as the races of Gienus needed them to live. Except for One.

Argonath Belzenlock was created to be a protector God. He was meant to take away the things that made the world bad, to undo mistakes of the people he watched over, to show them the use of fire to cook the food they hunted, to protect them during times of trouble and guide them with strength and intelligence during times of war. For a time, he did just that. He was good at his job too, and the people of Gienus appreciated his strength and power. As time went however he started to notice that they needed him less and less. As they became smarter, and more in tune with the natural magics of their world they no longer needed his flame to cook their food, as they had their own, or no longer needed his powers to undo mistakes. They could simply sweep it away with their own might. And war? Well, it was due to the blessings of another God that they no longer needed War.

Lorasil, God of Peace, Prosperity, and Forgiveness. Once the people of Gienus had taken what they needed from Argonath they turned to Lorasil. They had conquered, they had pillaged, and wared for generations. Dwarves against humans, humans against elves, elves against dwarves, monsters and monstrous races against all and everything in between. Lorasil showed them a different way of doing things. A way that didn’t involve violence, a path to civilization without strife or hunger. The people and even the other Gods saw this path and thought it was good. They all started to work together, to help each other reach this peace. In their haste to work together, to come together as one and live in harmony though they neglected Argonath.

The prayers to him became lessened, those seeking his guidance slowed, and eventually they became almost nonexistent. The valiant protector became confused. For so long he had protected these people, and even his own brothers and sisters when it called for it, but now they tossed him aside? He did not believe it at first and even went to his brothers and sisters to see how he could assist, what they needed him to do and he was laughed out of the Aethereal Plane. What use was a God of Destruction in rebuilding? What use was a God of Fire when things needed to grow? What use was a God of War in times of peace? They say that the arrogance of Man is something to behold, that it has no equal but the arrogance of Gods? It isn’t even on the same playing field. So, what happens when one of them is knocked off their high horse?

They change. It was subtle at first, as for Gods time is something they have a lot of. It isn’t a problem for them. They do not age or ever truly die. For hundreds of years the Steelheart wandered the planet of Gienus. Visiting the different planes of existence within the universe breathed into life by his progenitor The First. He learned in these travels that he was not the only one whom had been tossed aside, that others had even been locked away when they chose not to agree with Lorasil and his plans for peace. He learned things that had been forbidden or lost to time. He bided his time and grew in power and numbers. Using the arrogance of man and gods alike to let them believe that their perfect peaceful world was just that; and then he struck.

His body now cracked and deformed, molded by the fires of Trehara and the Burning Planes to take on a visage that better fits the demonic and draconic overlords that had been forced to call it home. With an army at his beck and call the Forgotten One stormed the planes of Gienus and for a thousand years they brought war back to the peaceful dimension. He had nearly conquered all of the known planes and the planet of Gienus was under his rule for a couple hundred years when Lorasil, the last of his old brothers and sisters, and his new champions reared their heads.  None had expected them to walk into Argonath’s throne room. They had prepared for ever scenario, or so they had assumed. The foolish God of Peace and his usurpers walked up to Argonath when he was talking to his war council and banished the Blackblade after a decisive fight. Something Lorasil hated and Argonath reveled in, that he had turned his old enemy into a mockery of his old self.

Despite that he still had enough power, with his last remaining champion, to banish Argonath from their dimension. Sending him far away, with Argonath promising to return and finish what he started. The Forgotten One would float through the nothingness between dimensions for an unknown amount of time before ending up in our world. A strange new world with technology and ‘magics’ of ‘science’ he had never seen before, but also machines of War that the people of Gienus would never dream of. He aims to take this new world under his thumb and then take them back to his dimension. He would not just be the God of one world, but two. For all will fall to Argonath Belzenlock.

1. Three-In-One: Agnorath has three forms he is able to change between. Each one offering different strengths and weaknesses. Switching between the three forms takes time but can heal him of his previous forms wounds. However if he decides to revert back to the previous form any wounds he has obtained will still be there, and he cannot change into another form right after. (Takes an entire post to change forms and takes five posts before he can change again)

HUMAN FORM:

Agnorath takes on a human like form of a middle aged man with deep black eyes wearing black-steel armor and wielding a black-steel blade. In this form he is slightly stronger than the average human. He sacrifices his raw godly strength and flight for the innate ability to cast magical spells. As he is a god in his universe he is a very high level spell caster.

Item Name: The Blackblade

Item Description: Made of the mysterious Blacksteel and forged on the Burning Planes, this ten pound, 90 inch Double-edged, straight bladed sword was the weapon of choice for Lord Argonath Belzenlock when taking on his human like appearance.

Spoiler:

Item Power(s): Due to being made entirely of Blacksteel this weapon is strong enough to cut down gods and the tough scaly hide of dragons and dragonkin. It is magically imbued to never shatter or break, that on top of the high tensile strength of the metal allows it to be one of the sharpest blades ever forged.

Item Weakness(es): Although an impressive and deadly sword it is in fact just that. While magic in nature and forged by the gods, it cannot switch its shape, shoot tiny metal bolts, erupt into flames or anything of the sort. Its only effective in the same way any other sword is.






Ageless: Even in this world Argonath retains his godly immortality. He can never truly age, and isn't affected by the passing of time or human (or otherwise) made diseases. As a God of War the only way to kill him is in battle.

Master of War: Argonath is a God of War, he is a master tactician, and innately knows every form of combat from his dimension (Comparatively up to the middle ages/dark ages of our world). Upon coming in contact with a weapon of war he can learn how it is used and he himself becomes skilled in its use.
