Keeluts Origin
Keelut was originally born as a two headed wolf creature, his first and real name was Orthrus. Along side was his siblings; Nemean,Ladon,Sphinx,Chimera,Lernaean and the most who he envied was Cerebus. The two of them very similar in appearance, only Cerebus having 3 heads to Orthrus's 2.Cerebus was given the grand duty of guarding the gates to the underworld while Orthrus was left tending to a herd of cattle, he was content while he could be ,but jealously brewed within him. His brother had power while he had little beyond his physical ability and a silent rage grew within him of why this was so.
One day while tending to his only duty he met an untimely death, his spirit was so unsettled with how his life had gone he could not even begin to be at rest and sought the gods to restore his life and grant him power, part of him just wanting something to give him a true meaning or duty of existing, while most of his was still encompased in jealousy of his brother and merely wanted power to out do him. Of course his request was rejected as his greed was frowned upon.
Becomming even more desperate he sought the power of the underworld realms, where his borther was but they knew all what he wanted was merely power to overshadow his brother. Orthrus made his request that he would have incredible power and nothing would be able to escape him, not even light of souls or existance. He went on trying to make his request as extensive as possible as he knew the beings of the underworld were very sly, but only succeeded in making them too frown upon his greed which had grown extensively. To his surprise this request was granted but as much as he had tried his wish was still turned against him for all they did was turn his soul into a rather nasty black hole and hurled him to another dimension so he would not destroy their world.
Being as where they sent him other worlds were alreday being pulled into into what was the vortex of his soul, and as said nothing was able to escape him, and his power did indeed grow, feeding off the very energy of creation. But he was becomming a problem to existence itself so the gods dealt with him.
At the End?
Orthrus's soul was sentenced to the void, a place where destroyed souls would go, where things that have been said to be completly obliertated till nothing is left though there is only partial truth to that ,no energy is ever 'truly' destroyed just spread so thin it either becomes undetectable or enters the realm of Void... a place forwarded to the end of all existence, and merely left there to wait for existence to catch up but even then not allowed an after life.
Not really able to tell if time was moving or not Orthrus spent and untold amount of time in the void, an utter and neverending silence, occasionally met by the energy of destroyed life trickling in, still adding to his power but unable to do anything about it. The emptyness of it was driving him mad and making him sever his own existence lest he find some way to escape
The ReCreation
Unbeknowst to Orthrus there were things taking place in other dimensions that would allow him to finally ecsape, a small collection of beings , highly advanced in their races were in the works of creating a ultimate life form that would serve ther purposes and create a race that would abide under their rule only. It had taken ages but they were finally at the final step of affixing life into their creation, and going through the age old process of alchemy they opened a portal hoping to claim a pure soul from the cosmos with no history to fall back on.
This portal they had opened would be Orthrus's escape and that he did, but into the body of their creation, the damage from being in the void for so long had been done, and upon comming into his new life he was left without the knowledge of what had happened in the first place.This due in part to his 'soul' breaking apart as he crossed out of the void. Nevertheless he had his second shot at life but at the cost of not even realizing it and living under the command of his now 'creators'. Being sent too and fro across the galaxy to carry out their requests, his mind would develop, and learn but usually before he gained any serious knowledge he was pulled back and his mind cleansed.
At this rate he was doomed to be under their rule forever, that is until he was sent to earths realm. It was at the request of one of his creators that he be sent to earth to test if he can manage to conquer a planet alone and find a compatable species to 'infiltrate', but little did they know this would be the last realm in which they would have 'control' over their little creation.
The Life on Earth
Ever since his rebirth, he was never given a name and had since long forgotten about his original name Orthrus, it wasnt until he had been discovered by a old supersticious woman who had called him Keelut and believed him to be some spirit of the earth since he looked like no animal she had ever seen before, she was kind but in Kee's early days his trust in eaths creatures was limited.
Kee's Attitude
Keelut is usually a nice guy, particularly rather reserved around most people .When he first arrived in earths realm he was a severe schitzophrenic, but after having gone though repeated periods of memory loss, his schitzophrenia seemed to subside only to be replaced with mood instability. At times he can be extremely childish, extremely annoying, a Prick, or a down right jackass, doing rather random and even dangerous things to unsuspecting people, or those he's chosen as regular targets. You could say the possible worst of him comes out when he's bored and has nothing better to do.
His Energies
Though it seems like he dosen't do much Keelut's body constantly surges with a flow of energy, not like electricity though it tends to behave in the same sparatic manner, his energy is connected to that of the energy that flows though the universe and creation itself.
Keelut also posessses the dark energies of the nether as well as the Holy energies of the divine.Although these energies are kept mostly within his 'soul', Keelut has a link to them which is slowly and gradually making itself known as it seems to leak through to him, occasionaly causing him to give off a almost demonic as well as angelic aura at the same time.
Shapeshifting
Keelut can take numerous,if not unlimited forms, but mostly depending upon the DNA he is exposed to though he is gradually learning to work outside that limit and take on forms merely by seeing.Taking in large amounts of anothers DNA would possibly allow him to copy some of their abilities as well, or any inherited traits.
Chimera Form
This form is the original form Keelut was created in, not typically being in this form, simply because he wants to try and fit in, though he pretty much fails either way. This form is that of a blue skinned Half wolf- Half dragon looking creature, with large wings, shoulder spikes and a long tail. The spikes in their own constanly draw energy from everything around him, this gentle pull can sometimes be detected and only intensifies based on Keeluts mood or as the energy demand of his body increases. via Combat, Injury or other events that put immence strain on him.
Seran'el form
This form Is his most used form currently, and probably the least intimidating looking. Simply looking like that of a somewhat young blue-skinned Seran'el though much taller that the average height of that race,he typically fits in decently and is moderately attractive. This form was a result of the first large DNA sample absorbed by his body from Valdro, that actually took a permanent effect on him.
Cross form
For now this form remains mostly misunderstood,it is a remnant of the entity he named Kaela and appears to be a merging of his essence with hers even though they are now seperated this form seems to be a bit that was left over. (WIP)
Given traits
Venom
Keelut naturally produces a venom, it is not secreted by fangs but from glands near his throat,Geting in a fight with Kee, if it is serious enough his venom will be a serious risk to whoever he is against, even inorganic beings, but amazingly enough Kee rarely uses his Venom so most don't even know he has it.Similar to his DNA, his venoms' compisition changes so its nigh impossible to form a "complete" anit-venom against him.
The Seperation
Keelut's body although just about limitless in its possibilites, limits can be created based on his own mind. He also lacks a soul which is the reason why his mind is so easily tampered with, a soul for him actually does exist but for an unknown reason was never connected to him properly,it consists of billions of fragmented souls massed into one , each soul fragment is so small it has no real affect on the overall result but each adds a bit of energy to it as well, as this mass of souls still grows everyday it can neither be ascended nor decended and merely seems to exist to one day be joined with Keelut, but simply due to his soul not being in him, he will never be his 'true' self until then.What keelut does not know is that his soul is in the posession of a demon, but at the same time one of the very beings he was created from.
The Living Restraint
Keelut's body is covered with various alchemic symbols, though at times not at all visible. They keep him and his powers in check so he dosen't become out of control, as of 2008 an change was made to these markings and have been remastered into containing a living entity within Kee.In July of 2009 the enitiy now known as Kaela was finaly seperated from Keelut,nott without doing its damage, none of which is known to be permanant or not but of the external effects Kee is left with a somewhat disfigured face but the internal have yet to be determined he only appears to suffere some degree of reversed regeneration at times.(WIP)
The Friends
(Feel free to stick your name here until I get around to finishing things)
Asher Mitchell- One of Kee's oldest friends to date,though he hasnt been able to keep track of Asher constantly as they both pretty much operate on opposite sides of the clock. He's been around enough to see Asher go throuh quite a few of his ups and downs in relationships. He secretly had his own crush on him but was too shy to ever say anything, even when Asher and Varasin helped him out of his own slump and got him to not be so shy, Asher was just moving too fast for Kee to even consider keeping up,rather than try to chase after him Kee has set his own mind to help Asher whenever he can, and hopefuly ensureing he can truly be happy.
Devin Wilson- This is one of Keelut's close friends, otherwise known as 'Red" due to his plainly red hair. him and kee became rather unlikely friends as kee was in the mist of his 'fits of boredom' and was origonally trying to annoy him the first day they met,for whatever reason all Kee's atempts failed and it merely became a game, going at each other insult for insult but totally in jest. Strangely enough a couple weeks into their friendship Red traded his soul to labal for a wish to get Kee's soul,the wish backfired and in the end he ended up with neither. Kee still cant understand why he would do that for him, and even only a couple weeks after knowing each other, but Kee is looking for means to retrieve Devin's soul, until then they continue to grow on each other as good friends.
Seba'eld-Not long after Keelut had adepted to his new seran'el DNA did he try to seek out others of that race aside from Valdro. He then became friends with Seba'eld and learned about the Seran'el from her, He considered himself a Seran'el, though not full blooded or by rightful birth, but was surprisngly accecpted as such By Seba.Since that time Seba had multiplied greatly in power,but due to an unfortunate turn of events Seba has had to decend to hell as her permanant residence,cause of issues with her powers.
Enemies
Forced Insanity - This man, or thing whatever he was has caused enough problems for Kee in his past, actually bringing him to not like clowns as thats what he knew him by.Able to control and manipulate Kee's mind in fairly easy ways at the time, bringing him to do foolish and moreor less painful things to himself or his friends. Kee is still wary of him but hasn't stopped looking for a way to get revenge.
Nyak - He isisnt a realy 'enemy' enemy of Kee's just someone whom he likes to annoy to no end. Initialy trying to be friend with him but getting harshly rejected, Kee sill holds onto it for some strange reason. At time he actually helps him out of trouble only to get no thanks in return, but rather more reason for Kee to continue to pester him.
Weaknesses
Keelut has two expressed phobias ..Thaasophobia [Fear of boredom] ..Sedatephobia [Fear of silence] Most who know kee, know he isint necessarily 'afraid' of being bored but literally starts to go crazy when he is, and its usually never quiet enough around him for people to know he's afraid of silence but if ever gotten out , could be exploited.
