Magic Rune

The Kranzons

Illusion Rune

You are a member of a Lesser Cthulhoid race, the Kranzons. Your race spans the dimensions including time being capable of freely traveling through time and space. All you need in order to travel is energy and there's plenty of that. What's your source of energy? Human life of course. In order to accumulate enough energy to travel you need to consume three entire humans. Your race is also a race of doppelgangers. Once you consume a human you take on their appearance. (Unfortunately you revert back to your true appearance within three days if you don't find new prey). Previously you traveled freely through the ages wreaking havoc and causing mischief but in the future, past? you had an unfortunate encounter that has had lingering effects. You had selected a male human when much to your surprise he tried to turn the tables on you by eating you! Well, in the end he wasn't any match for you and you ate him. Unfortunately he seems to have tainted your genetic code as ever since that fateful dinner you have been unable to eat a human without having a nice bottle of wine and some legumes to eat as well. Your race was almost wiped out that time you landed in Saudi Arabia until you found the Italian Embassy in Riyadh. And you are forced to continually travel in order to find enough prey and not tip your hand.

You're a rather attractive, multicoloured amorphous blob and your species is sort of a collective and you normally have five siblings. You always travel with the other surviving members of your species.   Unfortunately you hate each other, but you need at least four of the six members of the collective in order to make the transfer to another time and place so you are forced to stay relatively close to each other. After certain conditions are met (and they still haven't figured out exactly what it is even after all these millenia) an individual Kranzon will consume his collective mates and create a new, better collective. (Well, it has to be doesn't it? It's made from me!)

As much as you would like to be you aren't invulnerable. In fact rather the opposite. Your only offensive ability is your hypnotize ability, and that only works on humans who are alone. Any human you catch alone is probably doomed to be dined upon but against humans in groups you're at a disadvantage.

You always arrive stark naked and can appear as either a male or a female (depending on who they last ate) when they do arrive. You arrived on the below decks and managed to quickly find some clothing to wear.

Recognize period in time 14
