Character Concepts: The Dwarven Titaness

Available

Moja, The Dwarven Titaness:

*Titan Dwarf. Female. 436yo.

*8’6. Stocky build. Silver hair. Bright blue eyes. Red-grey skin. Dressed in red-hued half-armour.

*Incredibly strong (can shatter stone and most metals with any part of her body even without the Carcass). Can consume non-magical metals, minerals and ores, and use them to repair herself. Highly intelligent. Can do rapid bounds to cover short distances quickly. Very high endurance.

-Gavel’s Fist (gauntlet): Can melt anything but the Carcass when gripping. Various effects when touching the Carcass.

-Gavel’s Spine (tower shield): Absorbs magical energy. Instantly nullifies all magic within a radius when struck by the Fist.

-Gavel’s Skull (skull helm): Indestructible. Briefly lets the wearer see all hidden entities within a radius when touched by the Fist.

-Gavel’s Finger (javelin): Travels fast and is electrically charged. When struck against the Spine by the Fist, causes a localised electrical storm on next impact. Returns to the bearer of the Carcass when the energy is spent.

-Gavel’s Shoulder (epaulette): Allows the wearer to teleport short distances. When tapped by the Fist, the wearer’s form becomes ethereal for a moment. Cannot teleport while ethereal, and visa versa.

-Gavel’s Foot (boot): Releases shockwaves when stomped. When touched by the Fist, the next step, stomp or kick focuses the shockwave directly out from the Foot.

-Gavel’s Ribs (chest plate): Can briefly turn the wearer into wormstone, duration as determined by the wearer’s command. When the Fist is placed and held on the Ribs, while bearing the full Carcass and after touching the Carcass in a specific order (Skull, Spine, Shoulder, Finger, Foot), and with the blood of a loved one between Fist and Ribs, the bearer briefly becomes the Avatar of the Titans.

*Slow on foot. Cannot consume any magical matter, and artificial matter has very little energy or repairing value. Short term healing is very limited (cuts, gashes). Complex or sustained healing requires substantial amounts of matter. Carcass attacks are usually rapid, but sheer power and the need for the Fist to touch require time and buildup, leaving sizeable gaps between actions.

*Gavel’s Carcass armoury: Fist (right gauntlet), Spine (left tower shield), Skull (skull cap), Finger (javelin), Shoulder (left epaulette), Foot (right boot), and Ribs (chest plate).

*She is searching for a family, and seeing what is happening.

*Highly intelligent, but honest and straightforward. With a good sense of humour and a love of fighting, Moja is a charismatic and cheerful being.

[Backstory: Moja belongs to a type of Dwarf called the Titan Dwarves. They share a common ancestor and belief system, as well as similar ways of life, attitudes and values.

When the threat of another Great War began to spread across the land, Moja, a direct descendant of Gavel the Grave, the First Of Titans, and so bearing her ancestor’s Carcass and his curiosity, decided to leave the Warren and venture above ground to see what was happening, and to find herself a family to show her people].
