Acererak



"Quiver, mortal. You are in the home of the one true Death."

- Acererak

"Why be a god when I can be so much more... a creator of the gods themselves. A tormentor of the highest degree."

- Acererak

Summary
Acererak is a demilich that fought Xavier Nightchild ages ago, managing to capture and kill most of his party, holding them as trophies. Decades later, Xavier enlisted the help of a party of a dozen adventurers to incapacitate Acererak, and take back his fallen allies.

In life, Acererak spent his days traveling the multiverse, searching for relics of great power to lure adventurers to their death. He did this for entertainment, and to defy the gods themselves.

Appearance
Acererak was, in life, a tall, intimidating figure, with magic flowing from him like water. Now, in death, Acererak maintains a look of a man with skin hanging tightly to his ancient bones. His eyes burn blue with the power of his magic.

Personality
Acererak is, by and large, cruel. He is known for designing dungeons with insurmountable obstacles specifically to kill adventurers attempting to get the treasure he has within. His motives are ultimately unknown, for even though he has the potency to ascend to godhood (as well as a fair slice of followers), he refuses to do so.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
 * Acererak's Protection: Acererak protects the Tomb of Annihilation, changing the space within it occasionally. Within this tomb and around Acererak, certain abilities are passively nullified until Acererak is incapacitated. Put simply, this includes abilities that would attempt to escape the tomb- teleportation and dimensional travel being obvious choices.


 * Power Word: Kill Acererak choose one entity and that entity dies through intense death manipulation.


 * Time Stop: Acererak halts all progression of time for a brief period.


 * Maze: Acererak channels the powers of the Lady of Pain, transporting a foe to an extra-dimensional maze, keeping them within until they manage to escape. This does not work on Minotaurs or Demons.


 * Cloudkill: Acererak emits a cloud of lethal poison, slowly killing all within it.


 * Soul Drain: Acererak's skull drains the soul of an opponent, absorbing it into his being. With enough souls, Acererak will ascend to godhood. Upon the party finding them, Acererak needed only twelve souls.


 * Sphere of Annihilation: A small sphere is controlled by Acererak, and is a frightful object. The sphere is a perfect void, lacking in all substance and destroys whatever it touches in totality- if a small piece of a person is touched, that piece is ripped into its most basic elements, and cast into the void, never to be seen again.


 * Legendary Resistance: Acererak can undo a mistake he just made, making what was once a failure into a success.


 * Mind Blank: Acererak can wipe his own mind, making it as if it does not exist- this effectively makes him immune to mind-affecting attacks.


 * Teleport: Acererak can teleport without error to any point in the same universe he knows.


 * Frightening Gaze: Acererak can manually make it so his eye contact causes enemies to become so afraid they are unable to act.


 * Inflict Curse: Acererak points at a foe and, assuming they do not resist, they no longer can regain physical health in any way, and are weak to necrotic damage (i.e., that which relates to death)


 * Paralyzing Touch: Acererak's touch leaves enemies frozen in place for several minutes.


 * Disrupt Life: All living things within six meters of Acererak feel their life force being drained.


 * Phantasmal Killer: Acererak chooses one target. That target's worst fears become alive near them as an illusion that only they can see. This causes near-insanity levels of fear.


 * Chain Lightning: Acererak sets off an electric spark that surges through all life forms within close proximity of each other.


 * Truesight: Acererak's vision naturally sees through all magical illusions or enhancements- for example, if a creature is shapeshifted into a bear, he will see the original creature. Acererak's sight sees things as they truly are.


 * Rejuvenation: Upon "death", Acererak is reduced to a pile of dust. Some time later (several hours), Acererak rejuvenates, either regenerating from this dust or taking on a new body altogether.


 * Wall of Force: Simply put, a wall of pure physical force covers an area of Acererak's choosing.


 * Plane Shift: Acererak can change his plane of existence at will.


 * Ray of Disease: Very simply, a ray shoots from Acererak, causing sickness in the target.

Note: Acererak's key for godhood is not included as he did not get the chance to achieve that level of existence. Should it occur within a battle, assume Acererak takes on an at least Low 2-C AP and several other notable abilities (Mid-Godly Regen, Precognition, etc etc).
