The Walkers

Walkers

Description: Walkers are incredibly tall (up to 9-10ft) and slender creatures of complete and utter black. They appear to be made out of a solidified shadow or some sorts though no one really knows. They are humanoid in general shape albeit with much longer limbs and appendage's. They also have the ability to sprout many spider like limbs from their back to help with their duties and they appear to be missing a face and hair.

Temperament: They move silently, tending to the business of whatever is needed around the Academy. Although in the dark times before their domesication, they were known to be quite ruthless to those who do them wrong and so some still are wary to treat them well.

Back ground/purpose: The walkers were found all around the island of the academy and surrounding the lake before any construction began. They were myth and legend, slender black creatures who moved without sound and captured their prey in spindly legs. When construction began on the Academy however, it was realized that they were seriously misunderstood creatures that were facing extinction. It is rumoured that headmaster Fulton saved the creatures from certain death and so they offered their services. From then on they have served to do everything that the castle needs tending to, guides, cooks, cleaners, defenders.. Any role that needs fulfilling. An Interesting trait of theirs seems to be the ability to nullify all but the strongest of powers.

((It should be noted that Walkers are npc's. While you cannot actually have a walker character, those within the academy may manipulate them to benefit a scene. When Walkers are used for a scene, remember to roleplay them accordingly with their temperament and purpose. They aren't just going to be your minions.))
