Background

“Ebony Dust”, the right hand of war, Sister to “Tar and Mortar” and reluctant servant to the corrupted god of war Phiron. Forged in the depths of the abyss she is comprised of a ebony steel shell and was given life by the harvest of worthy soul stones. She is a soul engine, machinery brought to life by the power of the soul and bound to serve her creator as long as the binds that tie remain.
A mindless war machine is not worth the time and effort to create. In order to have a effective killing machine one need to ensure that it has one crucial thing. Without such a trait then the tool is worthless and will be cast aside at a moments notice.

A free will.

Although a dangerous powder to imbue in one’s creation, it’s inclusion solidifies the one thing that a creator can abuse. As it stands teetering on the brink of death, gazing into the nothingness that awaits, that is when it holds strong like a parasite. Palpable fear. If one fears death, one will do anything to avoid it. For eons this has been the whip striking into the back of Ebony Dust, for eons she and her younger brother have endured. Phiron knows of her defiance, but he cares little so long as she remains bound by chain she dare not raise her weapons against him.

That is, until the Mistress of Crystals attacked.

Ebony Dust spent her time roaming the abyss, attempting all manor of force to destroy the binds on her. The day she stood on the piercing spire into the plane above did her moment of freedom come. Many shards struck her, even damaging the shell that holds her head but soon her moment came. With one chains broken, her master felt the connection begin to falter. Being dragged back into the keep and under protection from the shards, more and more of her chains broke until...she was free. The realm is under assault and she no longer is bound to her master, she pushes past the fear of what will happen to her brother and leaves the realm behind.

Albeit, in the glow of a large shard impacting into her body...

Extra lore stuff

"A assault on my domain?! Ebony Dust's freedom is not of luck but by plot! The mistress of crystals dares weaken me and attack! Tar and Mortar! I summon thee to my side!"
A whirlwind of chains endlessly wrap around the left arm of the god standing tall and preparing the endless hoard. Tar and Mortar is dragged to the man, complacent and still. The god was wise to not give such a strong free will to the meeker sibling.

"Master...where I-"

"On your expanding list of targets to eliminate. Her treason will be lashed on you once we dispose of the threat at our doorstep. Follow your sister and you will leave her a only child..."

With a silent nod, the soul engine transforms into a large hand held cannon, loaded and ready to serve.

Stats
Ebony Dust is built sturdy and can take a beating. If gravely injured she will revert into a weapon form until she has recovered or has consumed the souls of the fallen. Unable to grow tired, requiring no food or water to survive, she is a effective hunter. Unrelenting and unforgiving. Packing firepower to stop a army in a single shot, to cut a man in half with her fingers, she is a effective war tool. At full strength...
Purpose
She desired to be free and had planned to break her brother free in turn. However doing so at the time she got her freedom would not be possible. She will return to free her sibling and take upon the mantle, if it is not already ruined by another deity...

Contract forger

When a powerful being enters the material realm they are able to form soul contracts with mortals. These are akin to pacts often made by warlocks and function to strengthen both parties involved. However they often benefit the Contract Forger the most.

=====================================================================

I plan to make her Contract Signer eventually. He gonna be kinda smol tiefling. Cuz I can’t stop making them.

That’s about it. The white parts of her is actually her physical not armored form. So yeah she has soles :v


Still not sure if she’s gonna be like, basically feeling like fire or something. Depends on how badly people want to see her feet.

Blame this song for her finally being made instead of being a idea stuck in my head for another few months (came up with her Contract Signer first around february so like, that's how bad I am at idea management and execution.)
