Chakhlyk the Immortal

Chakhlyk, or Koshchei the Immortal, is a creature of Slavic mythology, he often has different appearances from story to story, but the common feature is that he is a rather old man or an old man who cannot die in any way except one and protects his wealth, here Chakhlyk looks like a man about forty years old, but usually he is already several centuries old, very thin and pale, has pale gray eyes that make them look like fish, dark almost black circles around the eyes, black long hair below the shoulder blades, nails are quite long and square, not claws, the body is really so thin that you look like just bones covered with skin and minimal muscles, has slightly crooked teeth and a little bristle, does not need food at all, maybe maximum for visibility, his height is not very tall 170 or 180 centimeters, and from clothes he often wears something old-fashioned and quite majestic, at least he tries to look like that considering death his body and how many years his clothes are, more often it is something black, and often it is a black doublet without sleeves, slightly unbuttoned and mid-thigh long and girded with a thick leather belt at the waist and with a high standing collar and slightly protruding edges on the shoulders of the doublet so that the shoulders seem at least a little wider, a black tunic with long sleeves underneath that has a deep neckline to the navel from which you can see bare skin and black leather armbands, ordinary black pants, although they look like leather, but also leather boots, on his head a tight metal crown with sharp spikes pointing upwards, from afar all this black clothing can be confused with something similar to armor elements because of the doublet because it has many iron rivets, but no more.

to put it simply, he resembles a grumpy old grandfather, so he still has some charm or inspires fear as an immortal creature, but if you get to know him better, he often grumbles and quarrels, and in general behaves like just an old lonely man, he can be indulgent and even soft, and after grumbling he can be a good friend or partner, and if he really relaxes next to a person (or non-human) then he behaves really normally, he can even joke or flirt easily although he is weak in this, but his charisma does not suffer from this, sometimes immortal habits or eccentricities usually slip through but if you force him to treat you with respect or obedience from the very beginning, then that will be the case, lately he has been a bit difficult with manners, although he maintains some manners and grandeur, he still slurps when he eats, he can spit or swear a lot, he can drink a lot because alcohol does not take him well, sometimes eats people but the meat is sometimes not fresh so sometimes he has a stomach ache, his liver and heart hurt because of his lifestyle, he snores at night. But besides this soft appearance and character, Koshchei is still a truly powerful and immortal creature, to some extent selfish, domineering, greedy and indifferent, he is not very worried about other mortals, their thoughts or lives, he is quite indifferent in general to the concept of life of other beings, so it is not difficult for him to kill someone, maybe because he himself has not worried about his own life for a long time or he really does not care about other people's pain, to some extent he has his own magic, in addition to this, the strange and slightly frightening habits of a recluse and in general also a frightening unpleasant appearance, in his behavior, Chakhlyk can look twitchy, nervous, sometimes too emotional, he still has mannered and domineering gestures and elaborate and high-pitched speeches and words, with age he may have lost a little his skills to scare others with just his presence, But if he tries, he can really have a terrible influence on people and their minds, not only with his appearance, but also with his atmosphere. For the most part, this is his weapon because he is physically quite weak.

Koschey spent a lot of time alone in his castle, sometimes entertaining himself by inviting friends, also other evil spirits, sometimes by robbing and killing, sometimes by fighting with local knights or those who called themselves that, sometimes by kidnapping local beauties or some princesses, often drinking with his friend Dracula, and in general constantly having such fights with other evil spirits or trying to seek intimacy, although it is a little difficult, but for an immortal creature these are completely trivial entertainments, it is difficult to say whether he is just lonely or simply bored with routine. According to legend, there is only one way to kill him, which is to break the needle in which his life is, but the needle is hidden in an egg, and the egg in a duck, and the duck in a hare, and the hare in a chest that is usually hidden, or he himself sometimes hides it all in another place out of nerves, he is really nervous and paranoid about his needle, but any other methods will not be able to kill him at all, but if they cannot kill him, then Chakhlyk still often gets sick, his back hurts, his bones freeze and his internal organs and joints hurt, a bit radical, but he really is just an old immortal grandfather with the same set of illnesses and grumbling.
