Most Triumphant Emperor Sin-Iddinam (suen-i-din-nam)

Most Triumphant Emperor Sin-Iddinam (a.k.a. God-King, Emperor of All)

Born Sin-Unatu, meaning he who serves a master, the boy who would eventually rule all of creation lived his first years in chains. This would change when he took his first life. Few can agree on how he learned to wield blade and magic alike, but nevertheless, he continued his rampage. Starting with the master of his house, he soon found himself cutting the throat of lords and ladies alike. Gaining a larger and larger following and eventually becoming king of his birth nation he was named anew. Sin-Iddinam, he who'll never serve again, was not pleased with only this, however. One kingdom wouldn't suffice, and the soon-to-be emperor led the charge in taking every nation that stood before him. Unlike other warlords of his time, he did have one trick that none other did. He had learned the secrets of diabolism and bound several greater demons to the banners of his armies. Using these demons and the might of the forces beneath him, Sin-Iddinam swept across creation conquering where he went. Soon he stood alone on top of the world as the Most Triumphant Emperor.  
His reign would not last eternal, however, and though he held power for 5 years, the entire world would rise in rebellion against him. As his armies and Bulwark fell, the Emperor laid in the ruin of his center of power. It was here that he would die and with him all his armies. Some say that he went to the Abyss to conquer it taking his men with him too. Even to this day, many still pray that he never returns, for the world still cowers in the shadow of the man who took the world.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Sin-Iddinam is in peak physical condition, having spent years perfecting his physique. Could accurately be described as built like a brick shit house.

Facial Features

A notable trait of Sin-Iddinam is his square beard which is tied up to keep its shape. One might also notice his otherwise hairless head, the gem on his forehead, and the crown of purple fire.

Identifying Characteristics

The crown, generally believed to come from his demonic summoning, and beard are the most recognizable features of the emperor.

Physical quirks

A completely and perfectly symmetric build.

Special abilities

Complicated diabolism and general magic, master sword-fighting.

Apparel & Accessories

White and purple robes. Golden armbands.

Specialized Equipment

The Emperors Standard. Carried with him to battle, this standard has the unique ability to summon any demon formerly bound by the emperor, though only one at a time.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Sin-Unatu grew up a servant for the Duzi house, one of the powerful houses of the ancient kingdom of Shen'lara. He soon learned to resent the chain and master both but the boy still had it better than many of his peers. Sin was born with magic, and quite a bit of it, and was therefore trained to serve the house in somewhat more specialized ways than the average servants. Being set apart from his peers as greater, but never quite great enough to be a true person gave the young boy a new set of ideals. He would never return to what he had been and he would always try to garner more and more power and control over others. So he began learning more and more, proving himself quite valuable to the Duzi house, until he could even ask to be taught such thing as the sword. As his power and knowledge grew so did his ambitions, and when he was presented to the master of the house, Iva Duzi, on his 18th nameday he killed the man, then his family, and left the house, finally free. Sin-Iddinam was born.   Freedom wasn't enough, however, and one master dead was not enough for the young man. He began his travels around the Kingdom finding more and more followers who all wished their cruel masters dead and who saw the man as their savior. An army grew around him and he used it to gain a throne. It took him many years, but at the age of 26, all former lords of Shen'lara laid dead before his feet, and Sin-Iddinam crowned himself king.   It took two years for Sin to make his army as great as could be and so he began his conquest of the rest of the world. Using magic stolen from the libraries of the now-dead lords of Shen'lara, he began summoning great demons from the deepest pits of the abyss, selling both his and the souls of those beneath him to bind them to the standards of his armies. With great weapons at the tip of his fingers being able to be brought anywhere with relative ease, the world fell before the now Emperor. Seeing as how not even the mighty Titans could stand before him, many of them dying in the attempt, and the fact that the former servant now ruled more land than he did not, he took his final name. The Most Triumphant Emperor Sin-Iddinam.   This would not last forever, and after ruling the world for 5 years, the world rose against him. Seeing his empire and eventually his final Bulwark fall, he was asked why he did it. Why had he slain so many for seemingly no good reason? The Emperor could only shrug, and answer "Why not?". As he died, so did his many armies, him taking them with him to the abyss for where he was destined. Even here his endless conquest would not end. Gods be kind, may he never return.

Gender Identity

Sin-Iddinam doesn't actually care about gender in the slightest, either his own or others, but he does present and identify as male.

Sexuality

Asexual.

Education

Sin-Iddinam was taught basic math and writing as a servant, and eventually got a more in-depth education on magic and sword fighting. He also taught himself much more complicated spells, combat maneuvers, and strategy.

Employment

Sin first worked as a servant, quitting when he slew his master. He then arguably worked as a revolution leader though the truth would be that it was simply coincidence, and he eventually ended up as king and emperor.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Freeing himself from a life of slavery. Becoming king of Shen'lara. Leashing Great Demons to his will. Beating the Titans in a confrontation. Conquering and ruling the entirety of Joia.

Failures & Embarrassments

Arguably, dying.

Mental Trauma

Living as a slave for years where he was chained, berated, and whipped. This paired with him being told that he was greater than the other servants while still being lesser than actual people gave him a very dangerous complexion.

Intellectual Characteristics

Very intellectually gifted, though with a lot of tunnel vision.

Morality & Philosophy

Completely immoral with the philosophy that he is the natural ruler of creation and he can therefore do whatever he wants. He also believes that those who hold great power, in general, should be allowed to do as they please and that some people are simply born for greater things than others.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Sin-Iddinam is fueled by the simple desire to rule everything. There is nothing else that fuels him and there is nothing that'll stop him from getting what he wants.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Incredibly skilled in the arts of violence and tactics, but has somewhat poor people skills, especially when talking to someone directly. He is very charismatic and has been noted to hold very captivating speeches, but this tends more towards intimidation than persuasion. He likely could hold a conversation should he wish, he just has a hard time truly engaging with those who are beneath him.

Likes & Dislikes

Sin is a very simple man. He likes that which he owns and controls and dislikes that which he doesn't. He also enjoys interesting conversations.

Virtues & Personality perks

He has an incredibly strong personality and is extremely driven and ambitious.

Vices & Personality flaws

He does have a nasty habit of killing those he doesn't like as well as seeing all others as lesser than him. This doesn't mean that has disrespectful, but it does make him rather blunt.

Personality Quirks

Was said to collect interesting people and strong personalities. Especially showed interest in those whose strength and ambition were close to his own.

Hygiene

Good. He is an emperor after all.

Social

Reign

His reign lasted 17 years, though he only ruled all of Joia for 5. Some of the more memorable moments were the creation of lake Toragz, otherwise known as the Battle of Gods' Wrath, and the culling of the Titans.

Contacts & Relations

Almost uncountable.

Family Ties

None. He isn't even sure who his family was specifically nor does he care much.

Religious Views

He eventually would conquer and rule the Gods as he had everything else.

Social Aptitude

Sin-Iddinam had extreme charisma and confidence. However, he had little to no etiquette given that he held no respect for a single person.

Mannerisms

Sin-Iddinam saw everyone as below him and treated them as such.

Hobbies & Pets

The Imperial Menagerie. Learning about the lore and culture of his conquered states.

Speech

Sin-Iddinam speaks in a deep and uncaring tone as if any situation is below him.

Wealth & Financial state

Immeasurable in life, pointless in death.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"If creation isn't mine, then what is the point of creation?"   “What say you, Emperor of All? Here you lie upon the blood-soaked ruins of your dominion, surrounded by the corpses of the legions that once swarmed over the world. Hundreds of thousands dead for the sake of your wretched ambition, your mad design to bring to heel the kingdoms of man. In all the history of Creation, no one man has been so wicked as you, and I will have my answer. Why, o Emperor of Ruins?” He shrugged. “Why not?”
