Entropic Necromancy - Overview
Willow possesses a source of internal magic brought upon by his nature as an Ashkin. The power of Necromancy and Entropy.His ghostly existence allows for the free use of this power, eschewing ingredients, a focus, and words of power for a mere effort of will.One could argue that Willow embodies Entropy and Necromancy in the same capacity that an elemental embodies their element; making the being itself and the force it represents one and the same.

Offensive Force
As one would expect of magic dubbed the power of death, Willow can bring forth its devastation through withering curses and destructive force, destroying or draining the life of the living and the dead. Additionally, the power of Entropy allows Willow to corrupt the Aether of his target, causing non-organic entities to wither in a similar fashion.

Defensive Force
Though limited in its execution, Necromancy does allow for certain defensive measures. Willow’s magic can stave off the touch of death from other Necromantic sources, conjure ghostly barriers, as well as heal Ashkin; reconstructing their frames through a cloud of dark energy.

Utility
Finally, Willow’s dark powers allows him to raise the dead at his leisure, speak with the recently deceased, or beseech the long since passed. His magic presents the possibility of controlling other Ashkin, and bend them to his will.

Early Life
Willow was born in Sharlayan to a mother and father both of whom were respected researchers, both of whom would eventually leave their positions following a slew of chaotic events.Research of the Void and the world of death was what drove Willow's parents; but in opposite directions. Where knowledge of the Thirteenth, dark magic, and the curse of undeath fueled Archibald, Willow's father, with an insatiable desire to eradicate; this knowledge had a very different effect on the boy's mother, Carmella.Where one parent found an illness that needed to be cured, the other believed this very illness to be the cure itself. Power; raw and unbridled, as well as a life for a sick boy, albeit not a normal one.Willow was born a weak child; one struck by a cruel fate. The boy's sick body remained in its state, despite Sharlayan's nigh otherworldly capabilities. However, his cure was to found elsewhere, a cure alongside a healthy dose of power.

Pursuit of Power
It would be a lie to claim that Carmella's actions were founded solely on a selfish pursuit. Indeed, her actions were borne from her son's illness and a desire to not only rid him of such plight; but to forever make them untouchable by life's strife.With her knowledge of the seemingly infinite Void, Carmella beseeched the powers of death and entropy; a treasonous act which would ultimately shatter her marriage. Though Archibald would have sought to stop her, the man could not bring himself to do what was necessary to end his wife's pursuits; for Carmella would stop at nothing, herself.Willow was caught between his parents' struggles, and where his father decided to leave; a choice many damned him for, and his mother diving into hiding, the boy was left by himself. It was then that Carmella's mentor, Abigail Hex took the boy in. Willow was seven years old at the moment of this development.

Adoption
Abigail hid little from her adoptive son. She was transparent about his parents' decisions and what drove them; and despite this, Willow's fascination with the very same subjects grew ever larger. Having been Carmella's mentor, Abigail provided Willow with a slew of knowledge on that of which the world considered taboo. The dark, the deadly, the obscure. As a member of the Forum, Abigail's influence allowed her adoptive son access to locales otherwise sealed off.It was here that Willow's life found some semblance of stability; but it was not to last. Changes were evident in the boy, and it was easy to draw the conclusion that his illness was to blame for this. However, such was not the case.

A Mother's Love
Carmella's goal was ever within reach; enough so for her eventual contract with a Voidsent to bear fruit. A contract of power, longevity, and ethereal might.As some may know, Void Contracts have a nasty habit of trickling down one's bloodline; something Carmella was fully aware of. She had after all done this for Willow.The change was gradual; a horrid and abominable transformation. The deal Carmella had made transformed herself and her son into Ashkin; undead entities. A contract to alter their very beings. It was only after wraithdom had taken hold that Carmella turned on her patron. Killing the Voidsent who scribed one's pact would end it. However, Carmella's very nature had been altered to the point where there was no return; even had she wanted it.Carmella destroyed the Voidsent who had once bestowed upon her an Ashkin's might, retaining both power and individuality. Fully known by the woman, her son had undergone the same transformation; the same 'blessing'.Carmella's pursuits did not end here, however. She had eradicated her son's illness alongside his mortality; and yet an issue remained. The world would never accept them.It was for Willow that she sought to emulate the Thirteenth, to find a manner in which one could drown the Source in darkness; a fate the Nethicite had seeded onto the Void.

A Son's Rebellion
Where Willow's father had all but vanished; Carmella sought her son. A reunion entirely too bittersweet. Abigail had warned the boy of this, of his mother's eventual goal. She always could foretell her old student's pursuits.Presented with the plea to rule alongside Carmella in a world of the dead; an existence she desperately sought to create, Willow could for the first time since his birth add his own claim to the insanity of his mother's dream. He refused.A fierce battle ensued; one neither mother nor son wished to indulge. It was, however, in this exchange that Carmella viewed he who stood before her. It was Willow, her son. The boy she had plunged herself into insanity to save. The boy she wanted to endure eternity with; together.In no world could Carmella possibly combat her own son. Though her strength by far surpassed the lad's own, Carmella allowed herself to be defeated; and at the touch of magic mirroring her own, she embarked on a journey to the Aetherial Sea.

Life and Death
Today, Willow continues his studies within the endless tomes of Sharlayan's collected knowledge. He maintains quite the humble existence with his mentor, and adoptive mother Abigail; seeking a form of purpose within this unlife he has been provided. If he can do nothing else with the eternity set before him; Willow will continue to seek an understanding of the world around him.Though he had heard from Abigail that his father is searching for the boy, Willow is unsure whether he is ready to meet the man. Where one parent wished to destroy the world for her son, the other may very well wish to destroy his son for the world.

Fighting Style - Entropic Necromancy
Willow weaves his Necromantic Magic of Entropy through an effort of will, conjuring forth his powers for offense, defense, and utility without the use of a focus, ingredients, or words of power.

Fighting Style - Melee Combat ❌
Willow's frame is frail, and while he can reconstruct himself using his magic, he is certainly not built for physical altercations. Additionally, Willow is not trained in any form of martial combat.

Fighting Style - Brawn ❌
Willow's body was not built with muscle in mind, and as such he is not to be counted on for feats of strength.

Biology - Weight ❌
Willow barely weighs anything, and his body is, in fact, hollow.

Magic - Flexibility ❌
Due to his nature, Willow's magic comes as but an effort of will. However, this magic only extends to entropy and death, and he cannot manage any other form of spellcraft.

Sight
Willow is blind, albeit capable of another form of sight. The Aetheric and the Spiritual flows through the confines of existence, all of which is entirely visible to Willow. However, the material world is not.The Ghost possesses Soul Sight and Aethersight, both of which are permanently affixed to his nature; neither of which he can deactivate.Despite being capable of these curious forms of visual intake, Willow is effectively blind, and often requires assistance with mundane tasks.Biology
As one might expect from a Ghost, Willow does not have a physical frame. He is, in fact, a concentration of Astrally Aligned Aether, and little else. He is merely a force possessing a frame built for him.Frame
It is not unknown that Hannish ingenuity has brought forth artificial bodies through the use of Alchemy. Willow's frame is no different, and was designed by Thavnairian Alchemists. Unlike more advanced synthetic bodies, Willow's is entirely hollow, affording him only a shell.There are, however, some aspects of Willow's body which allows for a certain sense of life-like mimicry. His tongue is capable of taste, if far more dulled than that of a living creature. He is additionally capable of feeling both pain and pleasure due to the nature of his frame, maintaining a measure of humanity and relation to the material world around him.Hannish Alchemists spared no expense in the materials used upon its production. Though a hollow shell, Willow's Aether communicates with the body he possesses, allowing him to register touch, pain, and pleasure. However, this does not extend to temperature, as he's entirely incapable of feeling warmth or cold.

Aether
As many may know, Aether heavily aligned in one direction or the other tends to mutate that of which it touches. Willow's Astrally Aligned Aether embodies his entropic nature. The materials used when crafting the artificial body he possesses conducts his Aether without mutating the shell into a horrid abomination; a feat only possible due to its construction aimed at a specific individual. Despite this, his skin is deathly pale and his eyes are clearly inhuman.Indeed, if Willow was to possess a biological frame; before long it would wither into a grotesque entity before falling apart entirely. Such is the nature of Aether so potently concentrated in the Astral direction.However, like the Spoken, Willow's Aether is unaspected, if Astrally aligned to the point of a pitch black void.Digestion
If one was to spend time with Willow, one may notice that he enjoys eating sweets. Upon entering his stomach, Willow's Aether destroys and erases all matter he consumes; answering the mystery of where it all goes.Possession
While a concentrated force of deathly energy, Willow is entirely incapable of interacting with the world around him without an anchor; that being his frame. If he was to leave the artificial body he possesses, Willow would be little more than a black sphere of destructive energy. In this state, he is quite vulnerable, as he can be sealed away like any spiritual entity.
