Jharim Highmore is a proud man from the void city of Xaxkl Prime. Constantly teased by his peers growing up for his disdain for the magic permeating his home world, he has been rendered a cold, judgemental man that values people off of the value they contribute through their minds. He has invented many things, and was thrown out of the void following the Voidcrown incident. He has vowed to stop at nothing to conquer all in his path of establishing an empire to conquer the void once and for all.

== Death ==
Jharim hurries through the streets of his collapsing empire, knowing that he has made a fatal error. His attempt to neutralize the rotting chalice failed, and infact made it worse. The disease plagues his city in droves, and lacking a proper government response, they revolt. An empire, eons old, spanning time and space, was collapsing under one of the supposed long dead enemies of humanity. A mob, recognizing him, starts chasing him. Jharim is sprinting at this point, but it is futile. The mob caught him, and the emperor fell.
== Reincarnation ==
Jharim wakes up, knowing that he should be in hell for what he has done over the years. In confusion he looks around at an alabaster hall, filled with people similarly waking up. On one side of the room, a massive glowing purple door, heat radiating out. Above, the lights of something good and right shone down. Suddenly, people began moving towards either. Some flew up, some were dragged into the purple door, but the vast majority still stood in confusion. Thats when the room shattered. The illusions fell away, and it all went black.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
Weeks pass. Nothing. Not a single scrap of sight nor sound.
Jharim wakes up in a manor house. He is not aware of anything anymore, not how he got here, nor who he is. He grows up in this house, his curiosity flourishing with the resources available to him. At a very young age, Jharim was inventing new things, and eventually he began to go to his school. He far outshined his peers academically, but when Jharim was 15, he had to begin combat training. Most of his classmates used their gifts they received. Abilities beyond what should be possible, arcing electricity, flight, speed beyond measure, fire, and many more were present. Jharim had nothing. Nothing but his own mind and strength, and that was paltry in the face of these people. He managed to win very few times, and when they did, the simply scoffed at him after reviving, teasing him for not having magic. After a year of this same situation, Jharim had enough. He took to his

Line 59 ⟶ 58:
== The Founding of the Empire ==
The three friends stood at the top of a mountain, and surveyed all around them, looking for a suitable spot to carve out their own spot in history. Eventually, they found it. A small peninsula on the coast of Prsata was all they needed. They called the town Portage, and they began to build up walls and fortifications, docks, farms, homes, and ships, and had even more new friends join them. Jharim's old friend from the void, Bartholomew Aquis, stepped into the town square through a portal, black as the deepest of the nights. Additionally, a scientist by the name of Gibby joined them as well, who was quite confusing, as he liked to put on many costumes for the fun of it. These group of 5 built their proud city, and people began to notice. People flocked to the new city in the dunes, including their neighbor, Larry, who owned a ramshackle collection of red sandstone building by an oasis in the desert. However, not all people that noticed were friendly. Axaboble, M1n0s, and a powerful being known as Morgrim the Ancient visited with mal intent, and the band fought them off every time. But they decided enough was enough. Bartholomew and Moe soon split off, and constructed the mountain city of Castrum, and we officially formed the Xaxklian Imperium. Quickly getting a third town from their old friend, Larry, our empire grew rapidly, with very small population.
== The Alliegience ==
"Morgrim comes under assault from the west. Kylindor is marching on the walls of the undead." Moe speaks his newest intelligence, and Jharim nods, contemplating.
Line 80:
=== The Siege ===
We didn't expect it to be over so fast. We began strong, holding out against the tide of the Army below, but then the cannons began their work. A massive gleaming contraption of copper and steel, it hurled iron through the walls with the force of a giant. Jharim made a mental note, and then got back to the defense of the new breach in the wall, and he thought of ideas as he fought. Eventually, the tides tore down the gates, and the fortress was no more, lost in the tide of men. Morgrim walks up to Jharim, asking if he can come down to live with them after the war ends. They agreed, and Jharim walked away, a new weapon in mind, and a small crystal in hand.

|-|Weapons & Abilities=
=== Nox Aeternae & Solis ===
Jharim's signature blades, he lost both of the original silent steel blades. Now, weapons of mere diamond, they are not nearly as effective, but still are effective. The primary weapon, Nox Aeternae, is a long diamond sabre, with an offhand dagger. The dagger is used defensively, and the sabre vice versa, in Jharim's personal weapon style.
An mechanical crossbow built into the statue, the Void Conduit is a powerful weapon, capable of unleashing the voids wrath.
[REDACTED BY MANDATE OF THE GRAND COUNCIL]
=== Steele's Greatsword ===
A great silver sword, about 9 feet in length, about 1 foot in width. Constantly ablaze in a pure white fire, and with space cracking at its edge, this blade is extremely powerful, but is almost impossible to hold. (Requires a high roll to successfully swing in RP combat, usually instantly killing.
== Abilities ==
=== Magic Neutralization ===
Jharim's statue of silent steel neutralizes magic in a small area around it, breaking down most magic spells that arent a natural constant of the universe. Requires a hugely concentrated amount of soul energy, an requirement only filled within the void or a crystal formed from the death of an amalgam of souls. (Netherstar)
Jharim can use some functions of the statue to open a small portal to other places.
Jharim invented the material of silent steel, a highly durable metal that can neutralize magic in an area around it. Jharim lives his life bound to a statue made of it.
