Lee Soo Ho | Council (South Korea) | 3,605 | Lich | Versatile
“Life is precious. I can make you live forever.”
Once, a proud celestial gazed down the mortal realm in distaste. A place of sins and debauchery, he dreaded the thought of even visiting it. He always thought that flesh was the lowest form of being, as it was the weakest and easily corrupted by temptation. It’s always been the mission to keep the balance in the mortal realm, and many celestials went down by will or by falling and some never came back. Some were consumed by the sins of the world, the sweet taste of lust, greed and other worldly things. Some found earth to be heaven and a better place. Soo Ho thought he knew better.
When his oldest mentor Leviticus went down, Soo Ho waited almost a century. Celestials who succeeded in their mission brought some corruption in them, a scar on their light that stayed with them for good. In order to find his lost mentor, the celestial went to the mortal plane. For years he hid in disguise, learning more of the ways of life on earth. As he continued his search for Leviticus, he heard of a coven of witches in Korea that was said to offer a sanctuary to lost celestials. In hopes that his lost master found his way there, he walked into the sanctuary willingly. He expected a warm welcome but instead he was met with aggression. The sanctuary turned out to be a coven of witches who were interested in the powers of the celestials, something they could absorb for themselves. All the celestials they lured in were experimented, dissected like animals and even transformed into various abominations. In pursuit of spawning a Lich, the coven experimented and failed many times. As the latest subject, he was stripped of his garments, and various enchantments were casted upon him, runes were embedded on his skin through blood. The celestial screamed in agony, extracting his blood in the process. It’s been a week of torture, his once beautiful form now deformed but it was a preparation for his transformation. On the night of the full moon, the witches began their spell, summoning the power of death itself, and the celestial’s skin began to rot. His bright light turned dim and died and his once beautiful face was rid of flesh turning him into a skeleton-like creature. The pain was beyond anything he had ever felt. He thought it was the end for him, and as a celestial he never thought of death. Was it even possible to die?
The experiment had succeeded. A fate worse than death. He became deformed, unrecognizable, even to himself. The coven kept him as a slave. Being fed blood to keep his power, and for a decade he was their little pet who did their bid. A hideous creature. That lasted until the vampires attacked, killing the witches, obliterating the coven. He managed to survive by pretending to be dead. Left to fend for himself, he retreated in the woods. He used the books the witches had left to practice magic, applying what he learned to restore his body piece by piece. He managed to advance in his magic skills: conjuration, transmutation and animancy.
After he completed the restoration of his body, he desired to practice more. Ed was an energetic golden retriever, one that accompanied him for 4 happy years. One winter night, the dog fell ill that even his healing magic couldn’t fix. Unable to accept its impending doom, he sculpted a miniature wooden toy and used animancy to transfer its life force in it. Seeing how happy it was with its new body, the Lich found satisfaction. Perhaps it was the story of how an artist was born.
It all escalated from there, making various pieces, sculptures made from different materials. He would spend days on his workshop perfecting each and every one of them. And most importantly, finding a soul to put in. A dying old man from the hospital, a little boy from a car crash, a butterfly he accidentally stepped on. It went on for years, filling up his workshop with hundreds of pieces. Souls he saved and preserved, happy little pets he had collected.
He eventually earned recognition, and people signed contracts with him. Those who wanted to live forever, sold their soul to him in exchange for a vessel when they died and there was profit along with it. Vampires took notice of it as. As a Lich, he was considered a brother. But he clearly stood from the rest given his gifts, so he was invited to be part of the council. With the promise of a building in Krovs Town for his art gallery, the Lich eagerly accepted.
