Ven
Appearance: Ven is a 7' animate scarecrow, with an eternally blazing Jack-o'-Lantern for a head and a body stuffed with fibrous white asbestos. His asbestos insides are encased by a long-sleeved, tattered olive-green shirt, equally tattered rough burlap pants, and rough brown leather gloves on his hands. There is nothing but a fraying of fibers at his feet. He consistently wears a very wide-brimmed straw hat, tattered as the rest his clothing. A worn brown leather belt hangs at his waist, and hanging from that are usually his pitchfork and crowbar. His form is kept by a crude skeleton of wooden wicker support rods running through his back and limbs, with an especially thick one sprouting out of his shirt's head hole to support his pumpkinhead.

Born: October 31st, 1807.
He was created and animated by a mad sorcerer/alchemist/overall weird person called Rain. He was made for the purpose of a personal army. Like a true mad scientist, he wasn't really sure what he'd do with the army, but he was hellbent on creating it. Rain built an army of homunculi so strange that surprise would be one of their most effective weapons. The army was also made strange because the sorcerer built all the soldiers out of whatever materials he could scavenge or steal. Ven was made after Rain stole a scarecrow and a Jack-o'-Lantern from a farmer and a ****load of asbestos from a construction site, and enchanted the candle flame to give the scarecrow life, making it the source of his consciousness and soul. He named this creation Vengeance of the Fields, because he thought it sounded cool and awe-inspiring. He took a liking to Vengeance and made him "captain" of one of his "troops", and granted him with a great array of abilities.
Vengeance, meanwhile, had developed a very cynical attitude towards
all this, and began to see his creator as complete BS. He faked his demise and escaped, roaming freely and causing mischievous chaos wherever he wandered. He shortened his name to Ven in this time period, because he really dislikes all that "YARRR I AM VENGEANCE I AM DARKNESS" stuff.
As for what became of Rain, he eventually died in a lab accident which also destroyed all of his creatures still residing with him. Most people have tried to ignore the memory of him.

Abilities:
As a being animated by enchanted fire, he can manipulate his inner fire just as a human could manipulate ki. He can breathe fire, shoot fire from his limbs, whatever.
His "skeleton", as well as the rest of his body, has regenerative capabilities.
He apparently has ENERGY LEGS, as he can run up to and over 100 miles an hour and make vertical jumps of over 50 feet. His entire body is also extremely fast; his reflexes are nearly immediate.
Due to his asbestos body and pyromantic soul, he is totally immune to fire and heat-related attacks.

Equipment:
An enchanted scythe that lets the holder manipulate plant life (including moving, accelerating the growth of, etc.) in a 1-mile radius and can cause any kind of plant to sprout spontaneously from the ground. Other than that, it looks like a perfectly normal 5-foot long scythe. Except the faint dark green aura the blade gives off when being used magically. THis is his most-used weapon.
A small, approximately 3-foot-long pitchfork, normally found hanging
from his belt. It has the ability to shoot bolts of energy from its three prongs. He doesn't use it much, except for in close combat.
A crowbar fused with a revolver. It is a crowbar that has a revolver cylinder at its bend, a trigger on the other side of the cylinder, and a hole on the end for firing. He uses this a lot and also carries a few spare bullets.

Weaknesses:
Being a scarecrow with a wooden skeleton and all of his movement being made possible by alchemy and/or sorcery, Ven has very little physical prowess. He relies on his weapons in close combat.
Does not mix well with water.

Personality:
Ven enjoys causing trouble ranging from light mischief to absolute chaos. These acts are always harmful and accompanied by his distinctive, bizarre and terrifying cackle. Despite his humorous means, Ven can act quite cynical at time and takes absolutely no BS, pretension or arrogance from anyone.
