Name: Tanis Sperenwen

Identity (your hero/villain name): Plague

Occupation (optional): Antihero

Race: Altmer

Appearance: Face, attire

Powers: Tanis has the rather unnerving ability to infect others with diseases and plagues, which can range from a mild cold to Corprus and anything in between. If applied correctly, he could end entire sieges by causing the soldiers to fall ill to a paralytic Witchwither disease... or by wiping out the entire city with an incredibly virulent strain of the bubonic plague. A side effect of this ability is the fact that he's immune to any and all disease and poison.

Weaknesses: Despite his immunity to disease and poison, Tanis is always frail and sickly himself. He also isn't the best fighter in the world.

Traits: Cynical and callous, but trusting and loyal to those few he can truly call friends

Biography: Tanis is and has always been a sickly figure. At birth, no one expected him to even survive his first day. Against all expectations, however, he miraculously pulled through, and went on to grow up in a poor family in the slums of some backwater city. That is, until a deadly and virulent plague broke out in the city, and his family and whatever few friends he had died to horrible symptoms, along with nearly everyone else. Colossal mass graves were dug outside the walls for the dead to be thrown into, in an attempt to halt the plague from spreading. Tanis had somehow remained unaffected - however, when the people came to collect the dead in his house (meaning, all of his family), they mistook Tanis, who was fast asleep at that moment, for just another plague-ridden corpse. Who could blame them? The elf, still but a lad barely 16 of age, was always pale and frail anyhow. And so, Tanis was tossed into a mass grave along with hundreds of decomposing, plague-spreading corpses.

Anyone else would have died to that plague there and then, in that mass grave. But for some inexplicable reason, Tanis survived - but not unscathed. The overwhelming presence of plague strains did not infect him, but instead gave him a disgusting, terrible ability: from this day onward, he could spread disease to others at will.

Theme song (optional): Nice n creepy
