Profile

Duncan has walked the Earth for a long time. The is one of the Immortals, a race of beings who are doomed to walk for all time, while at war with one another. When one takes the head of another they siphon all of their memories, powers and skill. In the end there will be only One, who will hold enough power to possibly rule this world. Duncan is a friendly enough, if somewhat private, man. He runs an antique shop and a dojo in Vancouver, though he has begun spending more and more time south of the border in America. He does not go out of his way to seek the heads of other Immortals, as he prefers to protect those he loves and live a happy life as best he can.

History

History:

Duncan Macleod was born to clan Macleod of Scotland in the late 16h Century. He was a foundling, brought to the doorstep of his Clan and raised among them. He was raised in the village with the rest of his Clan. He was a spirited lad, and lived a fairly average life, for the most part. He learned from a witch in the wood that he was marked by destiny, however, and that stuck a bit with him.

His childhood beloved ended up betrothed to his cousin and best friend, and a duel to the death happened. Duncan killed the man to his horror, and then refused to marry her out of shame. He died in 1622 when his Clan found themselves at war. When he reanimated on his death bed his father cast him out as a changeling and demon. Eventually he reconciled with his father and avenged his father's death, slaying the Immortal who killed his father.

Over the years he has lived many lives. He has been a trader, explorer, warrior, farmer, spy. He has lived all over the world, and known both love and hate in many forms. He has taken many heads, and almost lost his own numerous times as well. Eventually he found himself in Vancouver, opening his antique shop. Some time after that he inherited the dojo from a friend. Now he splits his time between Vancouver and New York, trying to live a normal life...but often finding himself caught up in The Game and other heroic things.

Personality

Personality:

Duncan can seem stoic at first, and possibly even distant to somebody who doesn't know him. In actuality he is a very good man. Eternity can have a way of making somebody cold, but it has not done that for him. He loves fiercely, both his friends and lovers. He hates just as hard. He sticks up for the underdog, believes in equality, and is just generally a good person. He does not relish the lives he has to take for The Game, and due to it he does not hunt...but he WILL take lives to defend himself or others.

Abilities

Immortal:
An Immortal is a human being who came to a violent end, and was somehow reborn into someone who can potentially live forever. After their "First Death" they can be stabbed, poisoned, shot, blown up, killed, and will always revive within minutes, hours, or days, depending on how significant the injury.

Large cuts or bullet wounds take minutes to heal. Stabbed through the heart or other vital organs, take several minutes to hours, depending on how severe. The exception to this if an Immortal is beheaded. If that happens, their"Quickening" or "life essence" transfers to the nearest Immortal (or into the ether if there is none close by) and he dies. Permanently.

Additionally all Immortals possess a sixth sense that allows them to sense when another Immortal is close, usually, within a few hundred feet. They can also sense holy ground when nearby, no matter the religion.

Quickening:

When one Immortal slays another and absorbs their essence, he gains the skills, knowledge, abilities, talents and powers of that Immortal (including the abilities of those that Immortal has slain) although it is an extremely traumatic and difficult experience. This leaves the victor exhausted and vulnerable in the moment of absorption of the Quickening.

This "essence" or "Quickening" gives the Immortal several abilities beyond a normal man. Healing is discussed in the Immortality trait, but there are also other gifts.

The Immortal can survive for longer periods of time than normal humans in hostile environments. In a vacuum, he can last several minutes before slipping into a comatose state, unlike a normal person. He can breath under water, and in other hostile environments, as long as there is some oxygen present. They also have maximum human potential agility, strength, stamina and endurance.
