[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7304639, member: 2209"] [b]D-Infinity 1[/b] D-Infinity 1 Cthulhu Live [b]Cyris Crane:[/b] The cold grip of winter came early that year, and the corpse of Cyris Crane lay frozen and preserved in the riverbed. With the spring thaw, the corpse washed up on the riverbank, where the maggots and worms of the earth set about their grim task. However, the disembodied and deranged will of Cyris Crane was not powerless. Death had stripped Cyris of the last of his sanity. With a sorcerer’s skill, Cyris reanimated his body, taking possession of the worm-ridden corpse and willing it into a semblance of life, disguising his decomposing visage with a potent glamour. I am Cyris Crane and I am something else. I remember being accosted by a foreign type while searching for those accursed standing stones. I remember every sensation as he strangled me and threw my body over a cliff. I remember the moment my heart stopped. Yet my mind went on. A lifetime of exposure to the occult and my own indomitable will ensured that I did not truly die. I returned! [b]Walking Corpse:[/b] The climax begins as Cyris Crane successfully transfers his soul into a fresh body, leaving his victim’s soul trapped within his worm-ridden former shell. Crane’s victim is rendered a weak and gibbering mass by The Crossing, passing out from exhaustion at the ritual’s conclusion. As Crane’s former body rises as the Walking Corpse, the glamour concealing it’s hideous form fails. The mind within the body is thoroughly insane and prone to attack anyone it sees. The walking corpse bares a special hatred for Cyris Crane, who will bare the brunt of the monster’s hostilities. It is possible that Cyris is unable to perform ritual of The Crossing. If this is the case, Crane loses the last of his Façade and he becomes the walking corpse. [/QUOTE]
