Divine Symbols & Sigils

by Amelia Nite (Armoria)
The Dark King is known for his desires, whether they be twisted or innocent. Choosing divinity easily came with the all-seeing eye. His people openly picked him as the chosen one, destined for greatness. His vision to prove that gods were once mortal was all that he craved to the point he sided with Erythnul, god of Envy and Slaughter. With the all-seeing eye, the Dark King was able to finally understand what it truly meant to be a god. Though his devotion will come with a cost...

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

The Dark King stands tall, nearly seven feet tall with a dark red robe that covers his entire body. He wears a black mask to hide his face and reveal red glowing eyes. Underneath the cloak, he wears all black. On his left arm is a bleeding red eye that pulses. It continuously itches and drives the Dark King mad with rage. He keeps the eye covered up as to not draw attention.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The Dark King was born as Gemes Solroar, the royal emperor of the Scaela Empire. At the age of 27, he became deathly sick. There was rumored to be only one way to cure his illness, so Empress Kidmara Solroar sent adventurers to locate a potion capable of such a feat. When the adventurers returned with the potion, the Empress swiftly gave it to the Dark King, who recovered. Though healed, the Dark King now bore a strange mark upon his fur -- the mark of the all-seeing eye.   The mark started giving visions to the Dark King, ones where the gods were human and weak, but transcended. The Dark King grew obsessed with these vision, delving into any religious text he could about the gods and how he could possibly become one. If the Dark King managed to prove that the gods were once mortal, everything would change.   During his endeavor, the Dark King learns that a giant withered corpse has been found, spanning the the length of the world, its eyes missing. The Dark King could only predict that Atlas had someone died. He never meant for such an act to result in the change of the world. With Atlas gone, the world began plunging into chaos and the Dark King knew he had no choice but to find the eyes of Atlas in order to restore hope to the world.
