Errol Graves was once a normal man. A strange accident at Brine Laboratories had severely mutilated him. Worse still, he was also dead. The remaining scientists told him he was caught up in a rapid cellular regeneration experiment, which although left him without any signs of life (bloodless body, no heartbeat), he was still very much walking and talking. The scientists had no choice but to term him 'Undead'
But there was something else. Errol had acquired the power to reanimate anything deceased for a short period of time just by looking at it.
Much to their chagrin, the scientists also had to term him a 'Necromancer'
Fitted with a specially designed optical focus headgear and powered suit, so that Errol wouldn't be reanimating anything and everything he happened to be looking at. Inquiring to the scientists about what to do next, they shrugged, merely saying "I dunno, be a superhero or something."
"Seriously? I raise the dead, isn't that some sort of bad guy role?"
Again, they shrugged, this time being supportive by both giving two thumbs up.
Not long after, he averted a mugging using a small swarm of undead rats. The woman was probably grateful, despite running off screaming.
Over time he discovered the various limitations of his powers. Being able to reanimate, if it didn't have ears, it couldn't hear commands, if it had a brain and could hear, it could understand to some degree. Testing a dead ficus though, it exploded in a puff of leaves and dust. He could survive dismemberment and reattach all his limbs, and combinations thereof (head on hand for instance).
And so he named himself Grave Error, and embarked on the most weirdest journey of heroism he'd ever encountered.
"Now I just need a Warrior and a Mage, maybe a Ranger and we'll be all set."

Almost forgot to enter something. Not the best. In fact this was probably my most laziest skin attempt ever, mostly took about 20-30mins, bulk of it trying to figure out a story (which was more elaborate and funnier in my head at the time). Have fun, whatever, comment, diamond and all that good stuff hahah. ^_^
Updated for new viewer that now complies with current Minecraft version Woohoo!
