"Scream for me!" -battlequote
Xodd was a concept character based on the idea of a counter path to enlightenment.. a dark path. What started out as a major villain NPC in a real life role playing game became this character. The name comes from an anime character who some may recognize, Zod the immortal. That character is in no way this Xodd, but the name just fit so snuggly.

History
Xodd is often mistaken for his father, the monk of shadowed brilliance, Birechisute, a man of Japanese descent who became a Shaolin monk only to be turned to darkness by the callous remarks of a prejudiced elder. No form of vile deed was left untried by this dark monk.
Birechisute traveled extensively and left a wake of horror as he passed through Asia until in the Himalayans, he encountered a most virtuous and kind shrine maiden. She was quite interesting and after a year of torture and violation showed no signs of relenting her faith. The dark monk could not continue nor could he simply bring himself to kill her for she had hope still. The maiden, named Juin bore the dark monk a daughter not long after this. Holding the shrine maiden's own hand in his, he blinded their child almost as soon as the girl was born, laughingly telling the maiden that the child represented her hope, blind.
The maiden then named her daughter Hope, and as the girl grew hope did blossom in her heart for Birechisute had not broken her and it seemed that he began to relent himself, admonishing the maiden to raise their daughter properly. As her hope grew so then did her faith and she passed it into her daughter wholly. As his daughter grew, it seemed to change the dark monk, his evil demeanor waned. Finally Hope was old enough to be fully inducted as a shrine maiden, with the success of her final test, her father congratulated her for following her mother's path so very well.
Juin's hope was dashed though when she saw the monk's smile for he intended his own daughter to follow the mother's path completely. Juin was broken watching her daughter endure what she had from Birechisute and she realized she had made her hope, her daughter even more pure than herself but also had created a new weakness. She took her own life as the monk continued to torture and rape Hope, telling her the truth of her origins and casting the blame for this all upon Juin and her insistent devotion to the light, her own hubris.
Broken Hope as the dark monk renamed her bore him a son, whom he named Xodd, devourer and symbol of purest taint. And into his son Xodd, the dark monk poured every portion of tainted enlightenment within him. Xodd mastered the 12 virtues in their most perverted forms, his first toy his very mother's body, its muscles and nerves and bones, learning to unmake and remake flesh. From the day he could walk, he followed his father throughout Tibet, taking tribute in lives used to further the child's understanding.
Finally his father was prepared, and attempted to rape Xodd. Only to find no way to break his son, nothing to horrify or further corrupt the youth for he had indeed become the essence of such corruption. Xodd spent a year ending his father's life with a childlike smile. The dark monk had succeeded, he had created an heir, and much to Xodd's dismay, he inherited all of his fathers gifts in total.
Xodd was Immortal. Undying and in need of amusement that could not be found in Tibet. After more than one bored leap from Kilimanjaro, he encountered a business man, a man of power. The man amused him for some weeks, but what drew Xodd was the man's pleas for... a hero to save him. So then he studied new realms of information, learned of paragon city and the rogue islands. Here were heroes and villains, victims who truly believed in something, something worth devouring. Beautiful children who he could give his heart and love to in the special way unique to himself.
Personality
Xodd is evil, there is little more to say. So far comments of creepy and disturbing have been given for him.
Affiliations
Arachnos - he owes them a debt for breaking him out.
Nuwayrah - Nu sadly not only caught his eye but walked up and talked to Xodd.
Powers
Radiation Blast
Positive chi or life force, he projects it out in a number of ways: as a simple strike, in a radiating blast around himself or in a focused wave before him for now. The most dire effect of this condensed chi is that it is tainted with pain and corruption, and will thus cling to targets dragging them down and hindering them. This is also the reason it has such a sickly green color.
Dark Miasma
Inverted or negative Chi, he uses this for stealing away the life force of others to further his regeneration, as a sort of ground trap that pulls at his enemies, weakening them and holding them to the ground. He has also coated an enemy in it, infecting the enemy's aura and turning them into a sort of inverted chi radiator, this chi clings to the mind and soul as well as the body pulling at senses and disrupting them.
Additional Powers
He has displayed none quite yet, though he seems to almost preternaturally draw out a person's fears and insecurities. What would have another person attacked for saying is often excused of him.
Abilities
Weaknesses and Limitations
He can be enticed and to an extent is ruled by passions upon first glance. There is a cold calculating aspect to him as well. Really he has few limitations and his greatest weakness is a mental one being drawn to corruption pain, suffering any of the 12 tainted virtues. His immortality is a source of annoyance to him rather than seen as a gift.
Equipment
He wears a set of long bladed talon gauntlets, more often than not as hand protection and play tools rather than actual combat weapons. His belt has loops and hooks to hold them. They are made of a very sturdy alloy as well as his boots, the metal from a meteorite. He carries a series of razor sharp fletchlette knives which he is capable of throwing, they tend to dig deeply into his target being very difficult to remove in battle. He also has a chain wrapped around his shoulder, which acts as a small flail and instrument of pain, more often than not used outside of combat only.
