Appearance[]
A zebra with blue eyes that seem to stare in your soul. Looks a little rough around the edges, covered in tiny scars with a large one on his chest and another large one on his back. Has a spidery looking mark on his flank
Personality[]
All in all Ivan is a very unpredictable and very clearly depraved character. Extreme caution is advised in facing him, as he may smile at one moment and kill you the next.
History[]
See A Broken Peace
Abilities[]
Zebra Magic - Can channel magic through various objects to cast spells.
Meta as Hell - Gives him an odd sort of pre-judgment based on how the narrative is flowing.
Soul Mage - Ivan can, in a limited fashion, manipulate those around him in a mostly subconscious manner. This is a polarizing ability, people either like Ivan or hate Ivan. Ivan can consume souls for a quick power boost, though doing so affects his sanity.
Spider Friend - As a quirk of fate and of Malice existing in his head, Ivan will seldom have an encounter with spiders, and if he does, it will not be of a violent nature unless he starts it.
Equipment[]
- The Scourge: An incredibly beaten up airship that has been converted to steam power. Ivan killed it's last owners, some diamond dog slavers.
Relationships[]
Ivan's relationships are hard to describe seeing as he is incredibly psychotic due to Malice's influence
- Malice: Resident, head-dwelling deity, Malice affects almost all of Ivan's perceptions about he world and is slowly driving him insane.
- Catastrophe: Ivan is deeply in love with Catastrophe and the reverse is also true. Whether or not Ivan's feelings are because of Malice remains to be seen.
- Canary: Canary is the the medic of Ivan's group ad a seemingly close friend, though he often feels unnoticed.
- Boss: Boss is a neutered diamond dog female, who is also a friend to Ivan and joins him on his journey.
