Few remember the Fourth House. But the Fourth House remembers all.
"We have lived since before the fall. We have lived through ages of wonder and prosperity... but chose to forgo it all for power. True power, as none could even begin to imagine. We would plow through the eons, so that we, too, could walk amongst the gods.
So that we, too, could be as the gods.
But this was stolen from us by the War. All our plans engulfed by the sheer force of the ensuing chaos. Plans that took centuries... millenia! Plans by our ancestors, and by our ancestors' ancestors--careful, meticulous, calculated--turned to dust before our hands! Because of some... some cosmic fluke!
Do you understand? It is chaos they want.
But our House can be chaotic, oh yes... so help me, henceforth, they will not so much as think our name without fear! All will know that we are masters of chaos! It's beautiful, my child... indeed, such beautiful, maddening havoc we shall create! You agree, don't you my son?
DON'T YOU?!"
"I agree, mother."
"Heeheeheeheee.... but... my son, there is a price."
"There is always a price, mother."
"Good. Good boy. Good Orm. You are my son, indeed... aren't you? Yes you are. Come to mother now... come. Yes. Good. Closer. Very good. Now, extend your right hand."
"..."
"Your hand! Give me your hand!"
"...yes, mother."
"Good boy, Orm. Good boy. Now, take it. Take the knife from mummy. There we go, love. There we go. Now remember, say the words, as we practiced, alright? Just as we practiced."
Thanatos Kyrie Eleison
Through blood I bind, through death I bind
Take this soul, this mortal soul, and take my soul, my mortal soul
In this life, we shall be yours, as in the next, we shall be yours
Lord of blood, of death eternal!
Demon Prince, Lord Or--
----------------------------------
*CRACKLE*
"Guh!"
I awake to cold sweat and trembling fingers. I awake to thunderstorms and cloudy skies. I awake to the madness rushing in my head, to the voices that compel me to cause suffering and anguish and torment.
It was that dream again... that dream that is not a dream. For I remember as well as if it had happened yesterday. The taste of mother's blood on my lips, the cacophony of hideous laughter in the air, the pain of a thousand claws raking at my flesh. Legions seemed to appear before me, then, and in one brilliant moment I knew what it all meant. I understood, then, as I understand now.
I am one with the Infinite Layers of the Abyss.
Be that as it may, I am all that remains of the Fourth House. Fortunately, I am all that the Blood Lord will need. And yet, in this waste... it is so strange. I can feel him, but I cannot find him. All these people seem to have forgotten, as well... why have they forgotten? How could they have forgotten?
It does not matter, now. Because Orm of the Fourth House remembers. All who forget shall be purged, as it is written. And although madness follows, through the chaos that ensues, I shall find you yet...
...my Lord Orcus.

On to the Requests:
-The PHB states that, for evil characters, it is a DM option to allow the alteration of certain cleric powers (particularly, changing damage types from radiant to necrotic as applicable). Since the Invoker is a Divine character class, and Orm is aligned with the evil forces of BT, I would like to request the approval of this change to all applicable Invoker powers.
-On a more fluff-related note, I intend to make cosmetic changes to certain powers that I have. This will do nothing in-game, only change what it looks like and what I call it (I've done this before with Lucky Star, actually). I'll be listing the names I use in-game in my character thread; the "original" name will be posted right next to the reference page.
For example, see my level 1 daily. As you can see, I wrote down
"Demonic Echelon; +5 VS Will (PH2 104;Angelic Echelon)".
I certainly hope fluff does not see any problem with this, though if there is notify me and I'll be happy to oblige.
-Orm of the Fourth House is a special case. He draws his powers from a godstone shard; a one-of-a-kind, really demonic looking godstone shard. It appears to be made of cut onyx, but it is translucent. At the heart of the shard is a thing that appears to be a living, functioning sun made of demonfire. In essence, Orm is a thrall of Orcus, which is peculiar because Orcus should not exist in BT. I imagine the exact "science" behind his shard can wait until he's of an appropriate level, but for now I'll stick with this, unless there are any objections.

|
Fluff Team (yes, I'm a minor member of the fluff team):
Demons are unnatural and evil; they cross the boundaries of worlds, and the most powerful of them can sense anything that interests them, even in an isolated, dying realm like the World in which the people are the thralls of dead gods' bones.
Orcus delights (or feels something that we can only understand as delight) in the unnatural death of things, and of raising them to undead monstrosities. And, if you stop and think about it, the death of all gods in a world is best described as... unnatural.
For this reason, Orcus slowly but surely penetrates the dying world of bones. Perhaps he seeks to raise the dead gods as undead tied to him, or maybe he just wishes to consume their godstone essences to fuel a greater ambition unknown to us?
He teaches the 4th house to utilize the bones of the dead gods as tools; "Use the corpses of the dead to serve your ends, and soon I shall arrive to give you true power." In effect, the 4th house steals the divine power from the bones; though the demon lord they worship is not divine himself, they gain access to divine (albeit necrotically corrupted) powers through their worship of him.
Orm is given permission to operate within Bonethrall as an official character; however, neither he nor Orcus are canon. His actions by itself will not affect history; although the actions of his adventuring party may. If he does deeds or atrocities that deserve mention in future Bonethrall histories, he will only be referred to as a human of anonymity; a "dark priest of the old ways".

Oh. you aren't RFA anymore. You will deal necrotic damage with all radiant descriptor Invoker powers. Note, hoever, that it only applies to powers from that class, not to any other divine class you may decide to MC into.
Before you become official, though, there are some things missing:
*Include attribute modifiers
*Do arrange your skills in alphabetical order, please. It makes things easier for the scribe.  A parenthetical note that mentions your ACP would be nice, too.
*Include page references for your rituals
*I believe you got into level 2. Please updated all relevant data.
*Fix resume. When did "List down all campaigns the character is/has been active in" campaign begin? Who's the DM? And why isn't AAS's campaign listed?
