the Many Faces of Saemon


Saemon is a Merchant Lord of Golwenerre, and is often known by the entire kingdom as a very recluse man, showing himself to the occasional celebration and his own holiday balls.  He's also known for having a great number of fighters, who all participate in the gladiator pits that are all around Golwenerre. In fact, the vast majority of his warriors are so great that he has a tendency to 'gather' volunteers from other Kingdoms to fight against his warriors. 

Saemon is a relatively young looking gentleman, who tends to act more mature than his age, yet often tends to still have  brash and bratty attitude despite it all...

But, in truth, it is all an illusion.

History:

Saemon is actually a Homunculus, in fact he is the Sixth of Seven, and was the last of the Homunculus who was in the Song of Destruction.  Due to his abilities, he tricked a human settlement that the Elves had attacked them.  He even posed as human's to direct the hatred to the elves.  Soon, the army of Man marched to Aulou.  He was summoned by the Alchemist to hold off on against the powerful First Homunculus, Cheron.  Saemon was...smarter than his two brothers, and decided to avoid facing off with Cheron, knowing full well that she maybe the end of him.

When the Song of Destruction event destroyed the world, Saemon had wandered off into the mist of the aftermath and disappeared to the world.  


A boy suddenly appeared an orphanage in the kingdom of Harrowhal, and 'grew up' on the streets of that city.  He quickly adapted, getting rich by using people and became a merchant in barely five years of his life.  Most of his enemies disappeared, as well as those who helped him, and he was free to do whatever he wished.  The boy continued to to 'grow up' becoming and old man, taking a wife, and having a 'child', but those were false stories.  In fact, each 'wife' was just a slave completely devoted to him, he grew up because he willed it to..and the 'child'?  Just an Illusion.  He transformed back to a child phase whenever his older version of himself 'died'.  For several generations, Saemon lived this life as a Merchant, and moved to the Kingdom of Golwenerre in a estate outside the city. 

It was the evening that he bore witness to a fighting match in one of the local glatiator pits that he finally was inspired to doing something.  He wanted fighters, he wanted gladiators..and he wanted the best of the best. Over the years he started to pay to find the best of the best, some he found and made them submit, others were too wild and he made sure they stay on the wild side.  

The past few years had been interesting, as he slowly managed to buy out many of the gladiator pits as well as a good number of the fighters.  By the end of it all, he was known as the 'Fighters Merchant' and had a large army of some of the greatest fighters in the world.  Some people believe, in fact that with such a great fighting force, that they could easily decimate much of the kingdoms....some believe that's what his goal is...

....though it seems that he's holding back for some reason, just enjoying the fights...but there seems to be other reasons for why he's been holding back.


Oh, look at that evil smile......
Personality:

Saemon is often considered cool and collected at times, and a tiny brat the next.  Often enough, he's just one big-fat brat who'd rather make you do things for him for entertainment than to do anything himself.  Still, he's often a scary beast when he fights with his own hands.

Any of those that he respects he'll often reveal more truths than lies.

Abilities:

Hyper-Healing - Like all Homunculus, Saemon can heal quickly from an attack, as long as he has enough Spirit Energy. When he doesn't have enough energy, he'll remained wounded until his body gets the right amount of Spirit Energy.

 
Heightened Strength - Like the rest of the Homunculus, Saemon posses strength that are ten times stronger than a human, even in his smaller form.

Full Transformation- Unlike the rest of his brothers, in his normal state, he does not control anything special. His one true power is transformation.  Unlike his siblings, his transformation is the most powerful.  Where the Homunculus needs to stay around their same weight and size, Saemon has no limits to his transformations.  From the little tiny boy-form that he loves to use to giant monstrosities that can put the fear in any human.  His strength triples, so does his speed, and durability.

Weapons:  

None. Yes that's right, Saemon doesn't use weapons.

Concept:  

He was probably the last of the Homunculus that I created.  Saemon came to me finally when you take Shang Tsung and put him in a smaller boy's body.  Personality wise he kind of reminds me a little more of Pride from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, where that homunculus was in the form of a little boy (after he was revealed, of course).  I find that this character is very interesting, as he's a little boy that has everything and yet seems to always be missing out on something.
