Description: Morgrym is 4'5" and 206 pounds. Stout and stocky to be sure. His pic represents him quite well. Bald on top, a dark beard and moustache, and a fierce determination.
Stolen Fury:You were forced to take part in a demonic ritual as a youth after having been captured by cultists. Whatever the ritual’s purpose may have been, it didn’t work out the way your captors envisioned—rather than corrupting your soul, you absorbed the ritual’s energy and made it your own before you escaped to safety. Ever since, you’ve been haunted by strange nightmares about the ritual, and have long felt that the energies it bathed you in have changed you. Recently, those energies have changed—it’s as if you’ve finally managed to come to terms with your past and have turned the ritual’s aftereffects to your advantage, following the old adage of what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. You’ve been unable to learn more about the ritual or what it was for, but the question lingers in the back of your head to this day. This nagging has instilled in you a fury against demonkind.
Today, when you face demons in combat, those energies bolster your fury, granting you a +2 trait bonus on all combat maneuver checks against demons.
As the hammer falls upon the heated metal, a loud clang echoes throughout the smithy as the dwarf wipes the sweat from his forehead with the back of his glove. Peering through his goggles at the raw metal, all is quiet until a sudden explosion takes out the near wall.
"What the...!" he curses as he's knocked heavily to the ground by the flying rubble. Realizing he's just acquired several broken bones, Morgrym manages to look up and notice a massive fire through the hole in the wall. How did I not hear the battle outside? he thinks to himself as a large creature steps through it. With surprising speed, it grabs the sturdy dwarf, and jerks him out from under the rubble as if he was nothing more than a rag doll. "What the blazes are you?!" he asks, grimacing in pain as he is unable to free himself from the creature's strong grasp. "I'll kill ya if ya don't be..." his words are cut off as the demon blasts him with a claw to the face. Feeling his jaw break, his eye starting to swell, and blood stream down his face as well as from the inside of his mouth, he only manages a grunt in response as he's barely able to remain conscious.
Finding himself being moved far quicker than one would believe, he is unable to make out anything through his one good eye as it all appears to be nothing more than a blur. Not seconds later, he's thrown down on a smooth, stone floor. Looking up, he notices several humanoids dressed in black cloaks nearing him. "What the blasted... are you lot... doin'?! Don't ya... know the blasted... demon's gonna... kill ya?!" he manages through gasped breaths, yet, he realizes they don't seem to be paying any attention to him. He then hears mumbling and then notices one of them with some form of 'lightning' surrounding his hand. "What are ya abo...," is all he manages before the cultist's hands reach out and touch him - finding himself thrown into convulsions as he is being electrocuted. One after another would step up and send shock after electrical shock through his body. All he could manage is a muffled yell and a violent, uncontrollable twitching - leaving himself curious as to how much more he can take before darkness overtakes him one final time.
And then instantly... it all stopped. His breathing coming in short, wheezing gasps, Morgrym lie still and broken as blood slowly pours from his mouth as he lies in the middle of the floor, a single light upon him, coming from who knows where and with no one around. And then from somewhere he hears strong footsteps echoing throughout wherever he was and knowing that they were headed in his direction. The next thing he knows, he was back within the clutches of the beast's grip once again - this time lifted upon his feet and held in place. Placing its face right up in Morgrym's, the dwarf could easily feel its breath and look right in its eyes knowing the demon is about to kill him. "Kill me ya <bleep>! 'Cause if ya don't... I'll be comin' ta get YOU." Morgrym vows, spitting a wad of blood upon the beast's face, managing a painful chuckle. The demon then roughly snaps the dwarf's head at an angle, exposing his neck. Bringing a razor-like, taloned finger to one side of it, Morgrym prepares for his life to end swiftly. Wishing it wasn't so painful to speak, he allowed his thoughts to do him justice. It's good this is gonna kill me. At least for the beast. Because if it don't, I swear by Torag I'll come lookin' for this one. This one and all it's ilk. And all those that follow it. Just as the beast begins pushing it's finger into his flesh, ready to end this dwarf's life, a bright light shines... brighter than the sun....
Sitting up quickly in his bed, Morgrym stares dead ahead into the mirror atop the desk that sits along the wall, his reflection peering back, his breathing calm and collected. "<Bleep> nightmares," he comments as he rises and puts his garb on. Even though it's early morning here in Kenebres, and he's barely managed a restful sleep in years, Morgrym pays it no mind as he heads to the smithy where he's been working the past few months, earning enough to get by while forging a weapon for himself. While it's not the Mindspin Mountains, he knows this is where he needs to be. "Once I get me weapon forged, I'll be joinin' this war. I'm comin' demon... and I'm bringin' Death with me," he states candidly, resolved to the fact it could very well be his own.
As the hammer falls upon the heated metal, a loud clang echoes throughout the smithy as the dwarf wipes the sweat from his forehead with the back of his glove. Peering through his goggles at the raw metal, the dwarf pauses a moment, listening to the quiet. Looking up, he turns his attention to the wall nearest him. After a few moments, the dwarf returns to his work, the loud clanging of hammer upon steel echoing throughout once again.

-------------------------------------------
Mythic Abilities
-------------------------------------------
Ability Score:2nd: Str +2; 4th: Con +2; 6th: Con +2 Amazing Initiative (Ex):You gain a bonus on initiative checks equal to your mythic tier. In addition, as a free action on your turn, you can expend one use of mythic power to take an additional standard action during that turn. This additional standard action can't be used to cast a spell. You can't gain an extra action in this way more than once per round. Beyond Morality (Ex):You have no alignment. You can become a member of any class, even one with an alignment requirement, and can never lose your membership because of a change in alignment. If you violate the code of ethics of any of your classes, you might still lose access to certain features of such classes, subject to GM discretion. Attempts to detect your alignment don't return any results. If a class restricts you from casting spells with an alignment descriptor, you can cast such spells without restrictions or repercussions. If you're the target of a spell or effect that is based on alignment, you're treated as the most favorable alignment when determining the spell's effect on you. Any effects that alter alignment have no effect on you. If you lose this effect, you revert to your previous alignment. Enhanced ability(Constitution):You gain a permanent +2 bonus to one ability score of your choice. Enhanced ability(Strength):You gain a permanent +2 bonus to one ability score of your choice. Force of will:At 6th tier, you can exert your will to force events to unfold as you would like. As an immediate action, you can expend one use of mythic power to reroll a d20 roll you just made, or force any non-mythic creature to reroll a d20 roll it just made. You can use this ability after the results are revealed. Whoever rerolls a roll must take the result of the second roll, even if it is lower. Hard to Kill (Ex):Whenever you're below 0 hit points, you automatically stabilize without needing to attempt a Constitution check. If you have an ability that allows you to act while below 0 hit points, you still lose hit points for taking actions, as specified by that ability. Bleed damage still causes you to lose hit points when below 0 hit points. In addition, you don't die until your total number of negative hit points is equal to or greater than double your Constitution score. Impossible Speed (+30') (Ex):Your base land speed increases by 30 feet. In addition, if you expend one use of mythic power, for 1 hour your base land speed increases by 10 feet per mythic tier. Mythic Power (15/day, Surge +1d8):Use this power to perform your mythic abilities. Mythic Saving Throws (Ex):Whenever you succeed at a saving throw against a spell or special ability, you suffer no effects as long as that ability didn’t come from a mythic source (such as a creature with a mythic tier or mythic ranks). If you fail a saving throw that results from a mythic source, you take the full effects as normal. Mythic Sustenance (Su):Your mythic power is enough to sustain you. You no longer need to eat, drink, or breathe to live. You're immune to inhaled poisons and any spell or effect that requires breathing, though you are still affected by any food or drink you intake. Power Attack [Mythic]:When you use Power Attack, you gain a +3 bonus on melee damage rolls instead of +2. When your base attack bonus reaches +4 and every 4 points thereafter, the amount of bonus damage increases by +3 instead of +2. In addition, the bonus damage from this feat is doubled on a critical hit, before it's multiplied by the weapon's critical multiplier.
You can expend one use of mythic power when you activate Power Attack to ignore the penalties on melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks for 1 minute. Precision (Ex):Your deadly attacks are far more likely to hit their target than those of others. Whenever you make a full attack, your attack bonus on the additional attacks you gain by having a high base attack bonus is 5 higher. This ability can't give any of these attacks a higher attack bonus than your base attack bonus. Recuperation (Ex):You are restored to full hit points after 8 hours of rest. In addition, by expending one use of mythic power and resting for 1 hour, you regain a number of hit points equal to half your full hit points (up to a maximum of your full hit points) and regain the use of any class features that are limited to a certain number of uses per day (such as barbarian rage, bardic performance, spells per day, and so on). This rest is treated as 8 hours of sleep for such abilities. This rest doesn't refresh uses of mythic power or any mythic abilities that are limited to a number of times per day. Stolen Fury:+2 trait bonus to CMB vs. Demons Sudden Attack (Ex):As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to make a melee attack at your highest attack bonus. This is in addition to any other attacks you make this round. When making a sudden attack, you roll twice and take the better result, adding your tier to the attack roll. Damage from this attack bypasses all damage reduction. Surge (+1d8) (Su):You can call upon your mythic power to overcome difficult challenges. You can expend one use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using this ability is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus die gained by using this ability increases to 1d8 at 4th tier, 1d10 at 7th tier, and 1d12 at 10th tier. Titan’s Rage (6 rnds)(Su):You can cause yourself to grow in size, becoming a terrifying sight to behold. As a standard action (or a free action if you have the rage class feature), you can expend one use of mythic power to increase your size to one size category larger. This grants you a +4 size bonus to Strength and Constitution, imposes a –2 penalty to Dexterity, grants you a +2 natural armor bonus, increases your natural reach by 5 feet, and increases your weapon damage based on the new size of your weapons. This size increase lasts a number of rounds equal to your tier, and doesn’t stack with any other spell or ability that alters your size.
