Zane Aren

Zane Aren is a character created by Liam the Big, for The Aren Family. He is an antagonist, and current main villian of the family's rp.

The Aren Curse
The Aren Curse is something every Aren has. An Aren may have one, or even two curses. It is uncertain how many curses an Aren can actually have. Aranitus was cursed with a single curse:
 * Arogance: Zane must be the leader, otherwise he is brooding in anger. He has always felt no one but he was suited to be Grandmaster. His lust for power led him to his current state, being very much dead, in a lich form.

The Birth of Zane
Zane was born in Asgarnia, in a hut near Aspera Tower. He was the first born of Roddrick Aren, the current Grandmaster of the family. This meant the title would fall to him after his father's death, or he stepped down. Zane's early childhood showed signs of his dark nature, the skinned corpses of animals strewn across the family home. His father only saw this as the young man training and honning his skills. Time would show Roddrick that he should have stepped in then. He trained under his father's watchful eye, excelling in fire magic above all else. His favorite magicks however, have always been Necromancy  and Blood Magicks. When his brother Ataneq was born, Zane loathed it more than anything. To Zane, he was just another foe, another person who would challenge his power.

The Teenage Years
Zane's teenage years were spent mastering his trades. Raising the animals he so savagly killed,

devoiding them of blood as they do his bidding. When he was through with them, he would burn them to a crisp, watching with a sick smile as his victim turned to ash. His father began to notice how truly dark his son had become, being very careful about what exactly his son was doing. He did however encourage his son's mastering of the arcane, and taught him more and more as he progressed. One day, Roddrick used his powers to bring his sword to life, giving it free thought and emotions. This cost him his left arm, Zane saw this as a sign of weakness in his father.

Early Adulthood
On Zane's 19th birthday, two years after Roddrick had brought his singing sword to life, Zane called everyone associated with the family together for a meeting. His father stood in the middle, his arm in a sling, due to it being useless, Zane stepped forward, smile upon his face. "Father" he said, " I am the strongest of us all, you are but a fool, look at your arm. You threw it away, for what? A talking sword? You are unfit of your title father." As he said this, he was already slitting his palms. His father stood, appauled his son would speak to him in such a way. Before he could speak, raise a blade, or cast a spell, Zane had whipped him savagely in the throat and face with whips of his own blood.
