Before you is a godly being, human in shape but skin as red as fresh blood and eyes of pitch black. A large mane of fire acts as his hair giving him the imposing image of a lion. His body is criss-crossed with many scars, bone spurs jutting from his joints, and a crest of horns around his head. When he speaks, you can hear the distant screaming cries of his past victims crying for help and vowing revenge.
Cariocecus, the legendary, near-god like fiendish lord from Acheron is the self proclaimed leader of the menos and refers to himself as a god of war. Desiring endless bloodshed and the heat of battle, Acheron has proven itself well to his tastes. Yet he has recently taken undue interest in the prime material, with quests for conquest. If he succeeds, he will draw the material into Acheron, piece by piece, forming new massive cubes and forging warriors of the damned out of the millions and billions of souls of the material plane. He sits in a massive castle made of bone and iron, but it is said he is just a projection, an avatar of the real Cariocecus hidden away in monstrous form, deep inside a cube floating somewhere in Acheron.
Cariocecus wields a shapeshifting biological-looking weapon named Tyrant. He stands 9 feet tall and wieghs 500 lbs. His body is covered in scars from previous battles, which he holds with pride. Cariocecus speaks Abyssal, Celestial, Infernal, and ten other languages (typically languages of places he has invaded or plans to, such as Common).
Combat
With the entire list of every maneuver, ever, known, Cariocecus has many options. He brings to bear the full might of the sublime, and fights intelligently. He is, however, honorable and hates a fight with no challenge. He will often hamper himself willingly to make the fight more interesting, yet always goes in with the intent to win.
Battlezone Seal (Su): As a full-round action Cariocecus can bring him and up to 1 person per hit die into a special demiplane which resembles the area they were just in. Here they can fight without interruption, appearing as barely visible ghosts on the original plane. Escape is nearly impossible, attempts to plane shift away must succeed on a caster level check against 11 + Cariocecus' HD (typically 36). When Cariocecus or his opponents are defeated, he automatically slips back into reality. This ability has a range of 180 feet, and the demiplane briefly created by this effect has its edge at 180 feet.
Disruptive Field (Ex): An aura which radiates in a 120 foot radius out from the menos disrupts the flow of magic, psionics, and any other spell or spell-like ability. Any attempts to cast within one automatically fail as if they failed a Concentration check to cast defensively. It is not an antimagic field, and so magical effects originating from outside the field can still get in.
Divine Protection (Su): Cariocecus has a fragment of divine spark, granting him his Charisma modifier as a deflection bonus to AC.
Divine Immunities (Ex): Cariocecus is immune to fire, poison, sleep, paralysis, disease, death effects, critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, mind-affecting effects, and energy drain.
Extraordinary Health (Ex): A menos always recieves maximum hit points per hit die.
Fighting Mastery (Ex): Cariocecus is counted as a fighter of his character level for the purposes of feats and abilities. In addition, any weapon specific feats apply to all weapons. Cariocecus is proficient in all weapons, armor, and shields (including exotic weapons and shields).
God Emperor Stance (Ex): The god emperor stance functions as a unique martial stance which follows all the normal rules for martial stances. While in god emperor stance stance, creatures take 1 divine damage per HD when they strike Cariocecus, and Cariocecus deals an extra 1 divine damage per HD on his attacks. He is also counted as a diety with divine rank 1 for the purpose of any spells, effects, and divine abilities which are affected by it. This is considered a 9th level maneuver.
Hinder Magic (Ex): All magical damage or healing is hindered by 50%.
Life Drain (Ex): Any successful attack against a living creature deals at +5 extra damage (already accounted for), which is absorbed as 5 point of healing per attack.
Infinite Bladeworks (Su): A unique maneuver which can only be performed once an encounter, regardless how many times he refreshed his maneuver, infinite bladeworks is his signature attack. As a standard action he summons up an uncountable number of swords and other weapons and sends them flying down in a wide area, destroying all he sees. He makes a single attack roll with his Charisma to attack and twice his character level as a bonus to damage. All creatures in a 90 foot radius centered on Cariocecus are subject to this attack roll and take damage. By extending the buildup to a full-round action he may apply any standard action or less maneuver as an effect in the attack. With this, entire armies have fallen in an instant. This is considered a 9th level maneuver.
Maneuver-Like Abilities (Ex): Cariocecus has all maneuvers as maneuver-like abilities.
Smell Magic (Su): Cariocecus has scent against anything which would show up with detect magic and may spend three rounds studying the scent to gain information as per the spell.
Soul Quickening (Su): As a standard action out to a range of 60 feet, Cariocecus may absorb the life force of any creature which has died in the last 5 rounds. The absorbed soul enters his body, healing him 1d6 hp per HD and granting him all the knowledge and memories of the deceased. The victim cannot be revived until Cariocecus is dropped to -1 hp, or a miracle or wish spell is first made to unbind the victim from Cariocecus' body. An unbound victim is free to be revived, but Cariocecus retains knowledge of the target's memories.
Soul Bound (Ex): Through processes yet unknown, Cariocecus has been proven impossible to keep dead. Whenever he dies, he disintergrates and reappears somewhere in Acheron in 1d10 days. Not even deific magic and antimagic field can keep Cariocecus from leaving and respawning elsewhere. It is believed he respawns due to some unknown artifact which functions like a lich's phylactery. If this item were ever to be found by his enemies, they would surely seek its destruction and so its existance is but a rumor.
Teleport (Su): Cariocecus can use greater teleport at will.
Tyrant: Tyrant is Cariocecus' personal weapon of choice, a shapeshifting weapon which can assume the form of any weapon. However it defaults to a +6 bastard sword, and is often turned into a +6 composite longbow with the appropriate strength adjustment. As a standard action he can convert up to 5 points of the enchancement bonus into any special enhancement of choice, such as turning it into a +1 vorpal sword. It also shifts into different weapons as a swift action. Tyrant is an intelligence weapon with the following stasistics: Int 13, Wis 18, Cha 24, Ego 26 and lawful evil. It can communicate telepathically with its wearer, though it cannot speak. It will always seek to dominate any wearer who isn’t lawful evil, forcing such an owner to commit lawful evil deeds (or else find a more suitable wearer). It seems obsessed with the eventual, but impossible, goal of conquering the entire universe.
