History:

Kris is born into The Old Ones. A very old and powerful family of Amaranth that practices a very old and powerful tradition of magic. He is immediately taken from his mother and does not see her for years.
From a young age he is trained in The old and forgotten magics, dark and cruel things that come from the very souls of demons. He shows aptitude in many of the magics, and shows the most promise of the new generation of Old Ones.
He is brought in by the elders to meet The Marked One at the age of 8. His Mother. She teaches him the meaning of every single dark sigil on her body and many, many more. He soaks it all in. Repeatedly told his time to choose his sigils will come.
At age 17, his time comes. He is asked to choose his moniker, the power from which he takes his power. He looks at his mother, who took hatred and painted on the sigils in the blood of The Marked One. He hands her a knife and says the words suffering, fear, pain, hatred and every other negative aspect that one was taught in the sigils. The room was silent as she took the knife and carved every sigil into his body, covering him almost completely. No one had ever taken more than one moniker, he had taken all.
He lived through the process and was called Suffering by the first moniker he spoke. He stood up, bloody and weary but strong and he placed a hand on his mothers forehead. The fear, pain, and everything else from everyone in the room poured into him and gave him power as her body turned to dust.
He then left his families estate. Vowing only to return when he was old, and to give this power to the nest one.

Abilities: What are your characters abilities?

The markings on his body are powerful magical symbols that have their roots in ancient and powerful magics of destruction. They allow him to pull negative energies out of the area around him and harness it into pure power, amplifying his own and making even powerful magic seem easy.
His brand of magic is old, and is decay magic. A form of destruction magic that decays and destroys what it touches. Allowing him to be near impervious to physical attack. Any non living object can and will be destroyed and decays at his will. However he prefers to in combat, focus on a small area around him to preserve energy. He can also not affect things, but who would.
His Decay Magic does affect living beings, but in limited amounts. He can decay a person, quite simply. However there are many rules one must abide by. There must be physical contact, and The Marked Man must be able to completely overcome their magical power, even if only by a little. Otherwise he can only poison them, weaken them to varying amounts depending on the power difference between the two.
Kris has a large pool of magical energy/stamina usually.
