POWER
Powers/Abilities:

• The Curse of the Wandering Jew:

  • Because of the ancient curse placed on Cartaphilus, his body cannot die. He can survive catastrophic injuries, decapitation, and centuries of wear. But unlike true divine immortality, his body still actively decays and experiences physical rot. He is in perpetual, agonizing pain because his flesh is constantly dying while the curse forces it to stay alive. While he can regenerate from standard wounds, his limbs frequently fail entirely, forcing him to harvest and graft parts from other living creatures onto himself.

• Flesh Manipulation & Chimera creation

• Joseph is an expert at rearranging biological matter. He forcefully attaches the limbs, eyes, and organs of other humans, sorcerers, and magical creatures to his own body to stave off his decay.

• He uses artificial souls and forbidden sorcery to fuse different animals, humans, and magical beings into horrific monsters (chimeras) that act as his servants or experimental subjects.

• Soul manipulation

  • He can tear souls from living bodies and cast dark, devastating curses, such as the soul spell.

• Necromancy

  • As a former gravekeeper, Joseph has deep ties to the dead. He can reanimate corpses and use them as expendable puppets.

• Centipede summoning

  • He frequently summons massive, monstrous centipedes to attack his enemies, bind targets, or restrain threats.

• Body possession

  • Joseph can project his consciousness or essence into other living beings to control them. He uses alternative vessels to interact with the world when his primary body is too damaged or incapacitated.

• Eye Transplantation & Memory Sharing

  • By swapping eyes with another person, Joseph can split the burden of his immortality curse temporarily.
  • The recipient of his eye is subjected to vivid, traumatic nightmares detailing his thousands of years of suffering, effectively invading their psyche.

• The seven fold curse of retribution

• another curse afflicted upon him. Any damage, curse, or lethal blow directed at Joseph would not only be tanked by his immortality—the exact damage (multiplied seven times over) would instantly and automatically redirect onto the attacker.

• Banished from the Soil

  • Wherever Joseph steps, the earth literally dies. Plants wither instantly, soil turns to ash, and localized nature spirits would be violently choked out by his presence. He would effectively be an environmental dead-zone.

thoughts ?

• Crippling Dysmorphia
• Self-Loathing:

This man has so much weaknesses I lowkey feel bad

This guy is probably one of the biggest reasons among the others why people don’t want Enerjak to be redeemed

• we love giving ocs trauma

• thays unfathomable agony

Anywho..

I can tell this is one of the more— powerful characters being an immortal

I don’t know how they have both a god and a inferiority complex

That sounds like hell

The seven fold curse is..weirdly redundant for a character who suffers so much already. It’s just preventing them from being killed or hurt by others

But they already suffer from harm due to time and just..kinda sits there to remove interaction imo

That’s just my view on that one

Yeah only thing I see as a issue rp wise would be seven fold curse, it just removes interaction is all it does basically for combat rp

Either that or makes it so one sided for crp that..they just— walk in front of someone to kill them

Genuinely

I guess the environment would by pass it but— I doubt a bunch of rocks are doing anything

CHARACTER
Personality: Joseph is a deeply volatile paradox wrapped in a perpetual state of survival mode. Because his brain rot causes continuous amnesia, he operates entirely on instinct, viewing himself as a helpless, innocent victim of a cruel world. He throws explosive, child like tantrums when cornered, genuinely crying out in confusion over why people hate or attack him.
However, to shield his shattered sanity, his mind weaponizes his immense suffering into a toxic covert narcissism. When his dark sorcery is succeeding, he shifts instantly into an arrogant god complex, believing his thousands of years of agony elevate him above standard morals and entitle him to steal the lives and flesh of others. The moment his limbs fail or his triggers are hit, this armor shatters into a crushing inferiority complex, leaving him weeping in self loathing. He lacks the capacity for genuine empathy, utilizing manipulation simply because he cannot comprehend his own villainy.

H detests feeling pain and suffering, fearing the day when he will decay. He has no qualms in inflicting misery on other living things, everything he does stemming from the desire to avoid living in pain.

He hates being called Cartaphilus, saying that it is a cursed name and preferring to be called by his real name, Joseph.

BACKGROUND
Faction/group: Independent

Backstory: Joseph was born over 3,000 years ago, the Demi-Mobian (not even Demi god!!) echidna son of Enerjak during the very first era his father ascended to demigod status. Raised in the shadow of absolute cosmic tyranny, Joseph naturally sought to emulate his father's terrifying legacy, eagerly using the gifted Chaos energy at his disposal to commit horrific acts across the ancient world.
His cruelty caught the attention of the ultimate arbiters, the ancient walkers. As punishment for his atrocities, they stripped away his ability to ever harness his birthright, placing an absolute blockade on his soul. They condemned him to a cruel, ironic fate, the Curse of the Wandering Jew and basically the Cain curse (like from the Bible lol) He was rendered completely immortal, yet forced into a state of perpetual physical rot. The Walkers intended for this agonizing decay to continue only until Joseph fully realized the weight of his sins and achieved true redemption.
However, the punishment fundamentally backfired. The constant, agonizing decay slowly rotted his brain alongside his flesh, giving rise to severe Somatoform Dissociative Amnesia. Because he continuously forgets the atrocities he committed in his past, Joseph is completely incapable of repenting for them. He is entirely locked out of his own salvation—trapped in a tragic, permanent loop of rotting, harvesting parts, and wondering what he ever did to deserve such suffering.

Extra:
- by definition, he basically has autism
