The Arcane plane � just like any other plane - exists in a cycle of life and death. Those who have met death fade into the Ethereal Realm, and those who are placed into life come from the Ethereal Realm.

Necromancers are beings that have the capability to extract power from this cycle without weakening it; they can resurrect the dead before they pass back into the Ethereal Realm. Throughout the eons there have been many necromancers to rise and fall, but only one remains: The Necromancer has spent the ages learning to master his techniques of resurrection. The Necromancer resurrects specifically the bones of the fallen, as the flesh is for the most part useless. Raising skeletons to do his bidding has become second nature to him, and The Necromancer is even capable of teleporting his undead minions to himself, healing them in the process. With a rare talent such as necromancy, he could call forth an army at any moment. The Necromancer has a way of inciting fear in the other beings of the Arcane plane. It is a fear that few are immune to.

There are few rumors, and these rumors vary wildly, but the most believable of these tales tells that The Necromancer is himself a raised being - resurrected from another arcane being. The specific reason as to why the Necromancer never seems to die could be explained by that he simply is himself undead.
Nobody seems to ever know exactly where the Necromancer is, as he seems to shroud himself in the mist of rotting death with an extremely large radius. This aura that forms is a direct result of the resurrection process itself, although it usually dissipates soon after a resurrection occurs. The Necromancer has obviously learned to preserve this shroud. Using this mist. he veils himself at all times, which shows that he might have something to hide...

Despite the Necromancer�s usual elusive nature, he has made himself seen to a few who are still alive today. Those few describe The Necromancer as death embodied, but they can never give a truly accurate description of him. Every single witness explains a different image. Some have even postulated that when you see The Necromancer, you only see your greatest fear. Others hypothesize that The Necromancer has actually never been seen, and all accounts of him are really just his minions. The only thing these images have in common is that The Necromancer, or whatever was seen, is always described to have long, pale, drooping white hair.

No one can say for sure what The Necromancer's purpose is. Perhaps he wishes to engulf everything in a shroud of death, or perhaps he simply wants to be left alone. The only historical record of The Necromancer's actions is a legend about his confrontation with Belial � a demon from the Dark Plane. Belial wanted to attack the Arcane plane, and Destroy it along with everything inside of it. His plan required him to possess an entity from the Arcane plane and have it willingly summon Belial. He was nearly successful, but overlooked the fact that when a summoning occurs, for an instant the creature being summoned exists as two parts: Spirit and Body, with the body coming forth first. The Necromancer learned of Belial's plan, and - taking advantage of this knowledge - he raised Belial's inanimate body and used it to kill the demon's spirit as he entered the Arcane plane. Ever since, all who exist in the Arcane Plane respect the Necromancer, even if that respect is accompanied with fear.

Artificial Intelligence was born from the depths of electrical circuits and motherboards after centuries of development. Mankind has always dreamed of creating intelligence within machines, ever since the first original computer was built. The ability to create intelligence, emotion, reason and compassion within a soul-less machine is one of humanity's greatest achievements. It has allowed the processing-power and efficiency of a machine to be combined with the logic and comprehension of a human mind. AI was created when humans finally were able to replicate the properties of the human brain into a machine's programming.

The ability to comprehend risk and reward is what differs the AI from other machinery; its willingness to sacrifice everything for the greater good is what gives the AI its heroic human-like qualities. Rather than rely on the powers of magik, speed and brute strength, AI relies on its superior technology and intelligent design in order to excel in battle. AI uses a mechanical contraption in order to facilitate its movement and attacks, allowing AI to directly enter into battle against multiple enemies. This war-machine is armed with advanced weaponry and sophisticated technology that gives it an edge over the old archaic ways of war. Running on a high-efficiency energy source, the machine is able to maintain 100% battle capacity and function as long as fuel is still available to be used in the machine. It also possesses the ability to directly extract resources from nearby surroundings, allowing it to continue to battle even when reserves are low. This machine is also very versatile, transforming mid-battle to suit the situation at hand, disrupting nearby enemies when it chooses to change forms. Mounted on the machine's shoulders are dual lasers cannons, these devastating cannons produce such a high temperature when fired that they can instantly incinerate targets in a matter of seconds. It is also able to activate a defense-matrix that allows him to bombard units from a considerable distance, destroying anything caught in the crossfire. It is also equipped with the ability to release small droids, these droids when released search the battlefield in search of intel, and targeting and attacking any enemy it may encounter. However, one of the greatest assets possessed by AI is the ability to call down an air strike, raining down destruction and chaos upon the field, allowing him to easily finish off any scattered enemies. If stranded without fuel or near death, AI may activate the self-destruct mechanism in his machine. Once activated, the machine is enveloped in a pillar of flames and the destruction cascades outwards in a fiery blast of explosions, causing enormous damage to nearby foes. AI was willing to give everything up in order to accomplish its mission, even if it included sacrificing itself.

Though AI was created for the sole purpose of helping humanity, people still doubted its true intentions. AI's immense knowledge of Earth allowed it to find a clean efficient energy source that would be able to sustain humanity for the rest of its existence. AI was also able to quell many conflicts between humans before they could erupt into real wars through peaceful negotiation. People around the world praised and appreciated the AI for its benevolence towards humanity, but some saw him as a threat to entire human race, for they thought he would eventually replace all of them with machines of his own. Instead of rationality, these extremists chose action. They confronted AI and forced him to shut down forever. Threatened by the very people he was made to protect and help, he chose to accept his fate and ultimately shut down. AI realizes that for every man that appreciates his work, there is a man that will fear it. By choosing not to strike down those who would attempt to shut him down, he shows what humans have instilled into him: compassion. Though he realizes that without his presence humanity will spiral further down into destruction, he accepts that mankind must learn of its own ignorance by themselves.
