Anomaly V7
Age- inconceivably old, or impossibly young, there is not time in the void
Date of Birth- three hours to the left of March 12,456 AD
Homelands- The Void
Race- Elemental (demon equivalent)
Class- Monk (ish)
Final- Gateway
The essence of V7’s disguise splits open from the chest, opening a gateway into V7’s own personal void. The opening can remain open for a maximum of three posts although can be closed prematurely. The void does not create a vacuum or any suction effects but merely acts as a prison. Internment in the void does not cause damage but whatever may be floating around in there can. One can exit the void by attacking the entrance point from inside or if it opens again. See below for more hazards of the void.
----------------------------
{Weapon information}
(Arms and Legs)
Just what everyone would expect from an unarmed fighter: a whirlwind of flailing limbs
(Antlion’s Limbs)
Sprouting from a small tear in an Anomaly’s back, the symbiotic Antlion can extrude its limbs into three dimensional space without major physical harm. They often appear in fours although can be forced through in as many as six extra insectoid limbs to be used by the anomaly.
{Armour Information}
(Antlion-Secreted Resin)
A coating of resin secreted by the antlion lines whatever skin the elemental happens to be wearing. Without this coating, any and all objects are allowed to be “ingested” and may be of harm to the antlion.
{Physical Description}
Anomaly V7 appears as a tall, thin humanoid made of featureless, roiling darkness. While “wearing” the skin of a humanoid t takes on all of the physical features of said humanoid. It was last sighted wearing a humanoid with unnaturally pale skin, possibly a vampire, and a white, face mask with only the left eye opening fused onto the face. Clothing may vary.
{Background}
There are several aspects to the Void Elemental which must be explained before any background can be related.
1)The nature of the void
There is occupied space, and there is empty space. The Void is neither of these. The void is an infinitely large, infinitely small region found between dimensions. Calling it empty space would be a falsehood, as that would imply that there is nothing there. Void is of a different essence than space, it is neither matter nor vacuum; it simultaneously is and is not.
Any number of creatures and objects may be trapped in this area at any given time, most common of which is the antlion, a seven dimensional creature that is incapable of being described as anything other than a massive insect with many pincers and appendages that reach in directions that cannot be comprehended by humans.
2)The Antlions
Although otherwise impossible for humans to discern, the antlions of the void perform a very important task: Allowing sentient thought to escape into the void. Antlions will feed on any organic matter that leaks into the void via dimensional rifts or singularities, occasionally this organic matter is sentient (more often than not wizards who got a little too curious) and upon being consumed allows information and ideas to escape into the void.
Although sentient themselves, the antlions can do nothing more with this information as it fires off into the depths of the void.
3)The Void Elementals
The sentient thought that escapes the antlion’s meals does merely move indefinitely through the void. Eventually two or more strains of thought will collide (as all objects in the void will eventually cross paths), forming a void elemental. The exact nature of how these beings come to be is not quite understood, although they are the only entities in existence that are able to survive on all of the dimensional planes simultaneously.
Upon conception, a void elemental is not sentient, it is merely two or more thoughts spiraling around one another. After eons of floating through the void (or a few moments, time is not an aspect of the void) the elemental will eventually consist of hundreds of thousands of thoughts in a single being. This is when the antlion comes into the elemental’s story once again, an infant antlion will situate itself in the center of this storm of thoughts and attempt to organize them to its liking.
Thus the void elemental comes into being. Although the antlion will manipulate the elemental by supplying it with thoughts and actions to use, the elemental is a separate, autonomous being unlike anything else.
4)Thoughts and actions
The void elemental outside of the void can be best describes as a programmable machine. It has no thought centers or muscle systems of its own and can only act upon thoughts that is has stored. For instance, if an elemental was confronted with a problem such as an obstacle course consisting of a wall, a balance beam and a second wall, it would act as thus:
-first it would call upon its stored thoughts and search for one that would fit the current situation, in this instance, the thought of climbing a wall.
-second, it would interpret this thought and then act upon it, climbing the wall with ease.
-third, it is now confronted by the balance beam. It repeats the process as before but finds a thought pertaining to a similar situation but not of exact relevance.
-It will now act upon this thought, crossing halfway and then stop.
-it now has the problem of not having any related thoughts to resolve its task; this is when the antlion will supply the remainder of the thought required to complete the action, albeit at a remarkably slow pace.
-It is now confronted by the third obstacle: the second wall. It cannot reuse the thought it had utilized on the previous wall and must search for another. It cannot find one. Again the antlion must supply one. Although sufficient to complete the action, the thought is from a seven dimensional being. The climb is awkward and difficult and delayed by a few moments for the thoughts to be supplied.
5) Vocalization and interpersonal relations
Similar to its thought processes, a void elemental stores sounds and emotions that are present in its immediate environment. For instance, a void elemental that has heard the words “the”, “brown”, “is”, and “dog” will have access to each of those words and is capable of forming the sentence, “The dog is brown.” Like its thought stores it will only be able to vocalize each word once and can only resupply its vocabulary by hearing more words or similar sounds. The elemental is capable of reproducing any sound it has heard before but only once for each time it has heard it.
In addition to sounds and thoughts, the elemental can perceive and store emotions but only has limited stores that it can refill in the presence of the respective emotion. It does not actually feel any of these emotions but rather wears them like a mask. For instance, if the elemental spends 36 seconds in the presence of an angry person, the elemental has 36 seconds of anger that it can broadcast.
The history of V7
Anomaly V7 is one of seventeen void elementals that emerged from a white hole generator some thirteen weeks ago, and has only recently become stabilized in the 3-D universe. After its emergence it has vanished and reappeared randomly twenty two times, and has consumed thirteen human beings and 87 animals of different varieties. Of the void elementals that appeared, V7 has been the most docile, showing incredible stability which may be a result of a length of time inside a temple of Xiao-Lin monks.
Unlike any of the other anomalies, V7 seems to be capable of learning and reusing sets of bodily motions, such as body language and martial arts. It has not shown the capacity for “remembering” much else, although it may be the first of the void elementals to achieve sentience.
Its last known location was outside a secluded village off the coast of Europe.
