FutureShock:2o5o...
It matters not how strong a man, for they say that all men will eventually be broken.
To be broken is to succumb to the pain and suffering that is the fate of one who is to be enslaved - and, at last, to relinquish one's will to resist.
All men, regardless of mirth or might, will eventually be broken...
And Whipmaster Tumbo is the breaker...
Tubo Tumbo
"The Whipmaster"
Character Background:
In the sand-swept northern region of Baghrat - the Abyssian city aptly known as "The City of Slaves" - there stands an old stone structure whose legend spans the breadth of an empire. It is known as the Crucible, a slavekeep belonging to the Clan Doggard. It has been called the most terrible place on earth.
Upon any hour of any day or night, there can be heard the deep bellows of misery and woe - horrid screams of terror and torment - reeking out in a deafening cacophony. It is a darkened place where lives are crushed to nothingness, and where hope is lost to the bleakness of abject despair.
Therewithin, the dreaded Whipmaster Tubo Tumbo presides over all. There, he is both god, and devil...

Character Notes:

*Cat of Six: Wielded with such remarkable proficiency as though it were a veritable extension of his own arm, Tumbo employs the Cat of Six - a vicious six-poppered whip of heavy, flesh goring cables which he uses to discipline intractable slaves.
*Brainwasher: Tubo Tumbo is a master at the art of psychological reconditioning and brainwashing. A wickedly brilliant individual with a talent for getting inside the heads of his subjects, whereupon he is able to exert complete control.
