Race: Gray Maiar

Gender: Male(physically) None(mentally)

Armor: Black armor.

Weapons: Charcauth, a Scottish-type claymore of 36 inches in blade length and ten inches in hilt length. The blade is bright, like pure white. 1. You aren't 'Grey'. You're either in the process of turning, turned, or true to the Valar. And sticking in the middle isn't an option, because you'd have to believe about 70% of it to make a difference.

2. Your physical form (gender-wise) is a representation of your mentality. All Valië are female in their ways, and Valar male. Number 1 seems kind of ridiculous... You'd either ignore the words of Sauron and Morgoth, or believe in them. It's a sudden switch, like Saruman suddenly turning. Before that, he was good. There's no 'in transit' stage that's memorable enough to make it meaningful. It would last a few years at most, before reverting back to either side. The whole point of this is that the "rules" of the universe have been broken. Besides, the reason I say he's gray  is that he was serving Morgoth in the First Age, begged mercy, for while tried to become what he called "worthy" of returning to Aman and now he's decided that "good" and "evil" are 100% arbitrary terms, meant to shackle his kind to higher powers. Darrius now is joining the anti-Eru movement for that very reason... The whole point of this RP is that Eru is trying to be deposed.

So, your character is therefore an Úmaiar but pretends to have turned back. He is, therefore, evil. You don't immediately decide that you're in the middle; you either serve Eru (who you are well aware created you), or you try and seek power for yourself through whatever means available - as you are here. You are, therefore, evil. Was William the Conquerer evil for invading England?

He does not care about power. He cares about being FREE. I'll have you know that he willingly stepped down from his position as the first Atmoran Emperor, because he decided that Atmorans should be ruled by Atmorans.

Stop saying my character has to be a certain way because that's how other Umaiar acted. In the eyes of the natives, yes.

So, therefore, he cares. He wants to be free from power.

If you want him to be a Maiar, and want him to be against, he's like that. The precedent is set, take it or change him from being a Maia.
