[CHAR] The Three Realms War [A DMC, Bayonetta and Darksiders RP]

[Sho Minazuki]

The Archives

Welcome

This RP takes place in a threefold world, combined from the universes of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, and Darksiders. Like them, it is an action-packed story of battle between the forces of light and dark, order and chaos, good and evil...or is it? There’s no telling who’s in the right in this bloody conflict. Heaven and hell are at it again, but this time humanity is not standing idly by to be reduced to cinders in the crossfire. Furthermore, some of the greatest heroes of earth, like Dante, Bayonetta, the Horsemen, and more, are nowhere to be found. Over all of it the Charred Council, an authority of reason and balance, has lost its power; it seeks new blood to try and restore the peace and prevent armageddon by -how else?- slaughtering angels and demons alike on the quest to find answers.

You play as a powerful individual, be it human, angel, demon, or any permutation in between, and after some time to establish your character in Barlour you will be summoned by the Charred Council to make a choice: fight for the peace as agents of the Council, or pursue your own agenda. After that, who knows? This RP will ultimately be plot-driven, but moreso for those who choose to fight for the council. Those who refuse will embark on stories entirely character-driven. Expect over-the-top action, awesome powers, incredible weaponry, and style the likes of which you’ve never seen.

Are you ready? Let’s rock.

MISSIONS BOARD

The Races

Hider

Human: The natives of the earth realm, beings capable of the greatest evil, or the greatest good, making them sought after and making the realm of earth a place that both hell and heaven wish to have dominion over. Humans, while lacking the physical strength of a demon or angel, are often ingenious fighters to make up for it, making them excellent hunters.

Demon: Demons are the native race of hell, they come in all shapes and sizes, and come from many myths and legends, but generally a demon is a supernatural being that possesses superior physical capabilities to that of the average human, and often have access to supernatural powers. Most demons come in a very horrific form, but powerful few are able to take forms that look almost completely or completely human.

Angel: An angel is a divine being from heaven, there are two kinds that exist. The Laguna angels, where many of them appear rather inhuman, gaudy yet horrific and terrifying beings of great power. Then there are the Army of Light angels, the traditional kind, humans with wings and divine powers. Similar to demons though, they all possess superior physical capabilities to the average human.

Half-Demon: Half demons are born of a demon and a human parent, though incredibly rare, possess a form that appears human until they tap into their demonic power. They possess the physical capabilities of a demon, while being consistently humanoid in appearance.

Nephilim: Half demon half angels. Such a combination is impossible by normal means, a Nephilim is born by mixing together the dust and remains of both an angel and a demon, allowing them to give birth to a new being, the Nephilim. They possess abilities both divine and unholy, and similar to both demons and angels, possess superior physical capabilities. They are about twice as large as humans, and exhibit brutal natures.

Cyborg: A cyborg is a human having gone under extensive or minor cybernetic enhancements. The enhancements can often vary, but very consistently have they enhanced their physical capabilities. This allows humans who have become cyborgs to stand even with some of the more powerful demons and angels.

The Three Factions

Hider

Hell

Hell

The Demon World, or Inferno, whichever name takes the speaker’s fancy, is the realm of hell, home to demons. Mundus is the primary ruler of this realm, even after being sealed two thousand years ago, his desire to rule over the human realm has not changed, and he leads an army to march upon it. Queen Sheba also has dominion over demons in this world, second only to Mundus. She is much less an ambitious force than Mundus who seeks conquest.

Heaven

Hierarchy of Laguna

One half of the forces of Heaven, once led by Jubileus. The Hierarchy of Laguna are divine-yet-inhuman-looking beings, with skins of gold and marble, and of all different shapes and sizes. They value order, duty, and devotion above all else. While they appear to be of a finer temperament than their counterparts in Inferno, in reality they are single-minded, stern, and even sinister at times to humanity, with certain high-ranking Laguna expressing outright contempt or scorn for humans. Many of their lesser numbers appear to lack much of a will of their own, relying on more powerful and intelligent of their number for orders. A recent crisis has left them without most of their leadership, so who, if anyone, has risen to assume those positions is unknown at this time.

Lumen Sages

An ancient magical order with an affinity towards light and the sun, and who derive their powers from pacts with beings of Paradiso. While at one time the Sages worked alongside their counterparts, the Umbra Witches, to maintain the world’s balance, the Clan Wars saw them presumably wiped out, with the last known Lumen Sage perishing some centuries after the wars’ end. However, recently those who practice the powers of light have begun to reemerge, somehow surviving into the modern day, and have reorganized the Lumen Sages. Who would do so, and for what purpose, remains a mystery.

Army of Light

Led by Uriel, these soldiers make up the other half of the Heavenly forces, alongside the Hierarchy of Laguna. They resemble winged humans in intricate and advanced armor, and, with the loss of many of Laguna’s commanders, are the de facto leaders and strategists over all of Paradiso’s forces. While they are more sympathetic as a whole to humanity's plight than Laguna or Inferno, their primary interest is protecting Heaven, and will sacrifice or turn against human lives should they believe such actions will further their goals.

Humanity

Gilgamesh Incorporated

In recent years, many humans have learned of the existence of Heaven and Hell, and not just experimented, but excelled. They see the world of mystery and magic as an opportunity, not just for fame and fortune, but for the good of humanity. The conglomerate formed by such parties is Gilgamesh Incorporated, named for the hero of legend who sought the power of the gods, and Gilgamesh Seeks to represent humanity in the war between realms and establish it as an authority equal to heaven and hell. Using state-of-the art technology combined with sorcery to augment themselves and their weapons, Gilgamesh wages war against those who threaten humanity with the Reclaimers, their private army, supplied by companies like the arms manufacturer Regalia.

Order of the Sword

Since the events some time ago with the almost complete destruction of the city of Fortuna, the Order of the Sword has gone under extensive changes. The Ascension Ceremony has been completely changed from it’s demonic original process, to more of a knighting ceremony, and the efforts and technology of the Order of the Sword was simply diverted to researching demonic and newly found, divine power, believing them to be a future threat to mankind, as well as the order. Now led by Kyrie, with Nero as her protector and general.

Demon Hunters Organization

In the shadows of the city, demons are not an uncommon occurrence, always finding some way to slip through the cracks into the human world. This is where the demon hunters come in. They work more like a guild than an organization, jobs get posted up, a demon hunter takes one, or is assigned one if they are urgent and special skills are required. Lady has as of late become one of the top ranking officials for this organization.

Umbra Witches

An ancient society of female magic users who harness the powers of the moon and darkness, and who evoke the powers of Inferno in their techniques. Umbra Witches derive their powers from demonic patrons, and once safeguarded the balance of Light and Dark alongside their counterparts, the Lumen Sages. However, several hundred years of war and Witch Hunts led to their near extinction. Recently, one of the last surviving Umbra Witches, Jeanne, has decided to revive the old ways, and share the Umbran cause amongst new sisters. Only time will tell what these new Witches fight for, and if they can reclaim their former glory.

The Charred Council

Charred Council

Predating the existence of heaven and hell, and perhaps the universe, is this ancient authority. Tucked away in a plane of its own existence, the three Councillors stand in a volcanic crucible, and from there seek to maintain peace and balance over all creation. While the Charred Council has little direct power to do anything itself, its wisdom, precognition, and productive temperament has accumulated a vast amount of respect, followers, and agents, including the Four Horsemen. It was the Council that imposed treaties on heaven and hell to keep the peace, but now that the first seal has been broken and the treaties cast aside, the Council is reeling to regain control over the situation. To that end, its messengers seek new champions of balance.

Points Tally

Hider

Reward System - Gain points to level your Style automatically when doing ‘stylish’ or ‘creative’ moves. Points can still be spent into Style like normal though.

Weapon Upgrade - You can spend points into upgrading your weapon and accessing stronger techniques specific to the weapon. Upgrades from level 1-3.

Technique Upgrade - You can upgrade your existing Techniques into a Level 2 or Level 3 version, which lets you attach more and more powerful properties to them.

Style Upgrade - By upgrading your Style, you gain new aspects of the style, and allow you to use more powerful techniques. For instance level 1 Trickster might grant you faster evasion, but level 2 will grant you agility for wall running and so on, but level 3 gives access to a high-speed teleport. Upgrades from Level 1-S (1, 2, 3, S).

Costs (remember everything starts at level 1)

Weapon Upgrade -
Level 2 (6 points)
Level 3 (9 points)

Technique Upgrade -
Level 2 (2 points)
Level 3 (5 points)

Style Upgrade
Level 2 (9 points)
Level 3 (12 points)
Level S (15 points)

How to gain Points

• Defeating enemies. These must be enemies sent at you by any of the GMs. They can be sent after you involuntarily, or as part of a mission you have chosen to undertake. Depending on number and/or strength of enemies, 1-5 points can be earned.
  Stylish combat. More on judging system later. Basically being stylish in combat will give you free points that level up the Style you use in that battle. Depending on style, 1-3 points can be earned, automatically added to your Style, if your Styles are full, these points can be spent anywhere you like.
• Defeating bosses. There will be two kinds, ones that you will simply encounter, normally the first time you see them they’ll be far too powerful for you to fight and are best avoided, but later they can be hunted down and defeated for a massive bounty of points. Then there are the ones that are thrown at you during your missions, these ones are designed to be a challenge to you, but they can be defeated. You will earn 3-6 points depending on the boss enemy’s strength in comparison to yours.

::Gaining New Styles, Techniques and Weapons::

Techniques can be gained whenever you please, but certain types of techniques will be locked behind your Style level. New Techniques are free, but be sure to run them through a GM first, plus you are not allowed to add new techniques midway through a battle.
New Styles can be obtained for 5 points, but it is recommended that players stick with 1-3, anymore than that, and it gets truly complex.
Gaining new weapons can be free, or cost you something. To gain a weapon for free, you have to earn them, as the weapons you can gain throughout simple progression are existing Devil Arms or other weapons, so you will be limited to those. You can also make new weapons by spending 5 points.

The Angelarium

The Hierarchy of Laguna
((For better images, refer to the official book))

Third Sphere Angels

The weakest but most numerous of Heaven’s standing army. They are often encountered in squads, or as support for more competent warriors.

Angels

Pitifully weak but many in number, even compared to other Third Spheres. They are mere fodder, and are not only looking down on by other angels, but are slaughtered readily if it means some sort of progress.

Affinity - Humans who are deemed worthy of entering the angelic hierarchy are made to kill themselves in ritualistic fashion. Then their souls become Affinities, further bolstering the forces of Paradiso. The religious articles they equip are all tools used to further their conviction to protect the righteous and can become powerful weapons used to strike down those with sullied hearts. Variation+: Applaud, which are larger, stronger, and much more durable. Their increased size gives them much farther reach than Affinities and by extension makes them more dangerous.
Catchet and Compassion - Belonging to the lowest rank of angels, these two angels are said to have been sacred weapons brought to Paradiso after the heroes they traveled with came to the end of a long journey. Though weak and predictable, their blades are deadly if allowed to swarm.
Dear and Decorations - With limited spiritual powers, this angel is spotted comparatively frequently within the physical, human world. Dears, with their dignified faces, are surrounded by the countless childlike faces of their Decorations. Capriciously firing arrows, they are often mistaken for Cupid.
Enchant - An Angel shaped like a cart wheel. The impetus behind this fateful form was the Creator's desire to craft an Angel designed to compel humanity to continue its struggle and feel no satisfaction at surpassing others. They roll to attack, and at high speeds are wreathed in flame.
Acceptance - Characterized as the symbol of death and acceptance, various legends tell of Acceptance solemnly placing the souls of the dead upon its back and carrying them away, ignoring their past deeds and any pleas for a second chance. They may wield lances, swords, or harplike bows. Variation+: Accolade, Third Sphere commanders who can also use hammers, whips, and spears.

Archangels

The stronger grunts of the Third Sphere Angels. Members of this sphere usually appear in pairs or threes, and are frequently supported by six or more Affinities or other members of the Angel sub-rank. Compared to most higher ranks they are still quite weak however, and higher ranking Angels don't seem to regard them with very much importance.

Fidelity - Considered a creature of the sea due to its fish-like body and multiple tentacle-like arms, Fidelity departed from the ocean to impart humanity with their primeval memories. Those who forgot their past and begin to disrupt the serenity of life are often dragged by this angel to the darkest depths of the ocean. Energy blades manifest in their hands, and floating bombs dispense from their mouths.
Enrapture - Though eighth in the angelic hierarchy, Enrapture was born many eons ago and is now considered the oldest angel to have ever existed. Given the task of leading humans to bliss by speaking directly to their spirits, it is said that the concept of faith did not exist until Enrapture's creation. They empower and embolden their allies.

Principalities

The strongest of the Third Sphere Angels, with some of them even being comparable to Second Sphere ranked Angels, members of the Principality sub-rank are the highest ranking members of the Third Sphere and seem to serve as specialized shock-troops.

Ardor - the highest ranking member of the Third Sphere, Ardor are christened with the rank of Principalities. Presiding over the protection of the masses from evil spirits, they are equipped with a shield and armor of proof. Wielding the power ofParadiso on those who encroach upon happiness, Ardor are recipients of much adoration from those seeking salvation.
Irenic - Irenic is charged with spreading the message of Divine Will across Paradiso, and is most commonly depicted as a boxy form with four wheels capable of achieving great speeds. Faster than even the wind, it can cross Paradiso, thousands of times larger than the human world, in nary a single day. Only this and physical strength avail it.
Allegiance - Allegiance belongs to the Principalities, ranked seventh in the angelic hierarchy and part of the Third Sphere. While Third Sphere Angels are the most common type encountered in the physical realm, Allegiance, clad in solid gold armor, appears only during times of strife between Paradiso and the human world, in order to purge the armies of evil spirits. They wield segmented flame swords that can burrow into the earth.

Second Sphere Angels

Appearing more rarely, Second Sphere Angels are powerful and can be dangerous to even those familiar to the three realities. They commonly appear with support from many Third Sphere angels, such as Affinity, but can also appear in pair or threes.

Powers

Living up to their name, members of the Power sub-rank are hulking creatures that deal massive amounts of damage. Their attacks are wide-reaching and can cut a swath of destruction across the battlefield with ease. They are also physically durable.

Beloved - Beloved is a member of the Second Sphere class Powers, ranked sixth in the angelic hierarchy. Its status is more that of a spiritual being, but it is also burdened with destroying the enemies of Paradiso. Excelling in combat, Beloved are known for brilliant exploits in demonic battles. On their foreheads are single, yellow eyes; on their backs are sensitive red nodes at mid-spine.
Kinship - Kinship, as one of the Second Sphere Powers charged with defeating evil beings, is responsible for transporting the forces of Paradiso onto the battlefield. Leading countless Angels to the front lines, catching sight of Kinship's magnificent flying appearance is analogous to many as the arrival of true happiness. They float in air or water, and employ missiles, a laser, and clawlike oars to attack.
Belief - their sturdy, dominating size makes them an ideal candidate for giving orders on the front lines during wars with the Inferno. The gigantic snakelike right arm of Beliefs has caused them to often be depicted in legends as hideous creatures, but in reality, this feature is meant to be a divine whip for binding evil with its unwavering faith. Their faces can open to reveal spiked, wormlike mouths to bite or spit sticky slime.
Worship - Ranked sixth in the angelic hierarchy, Worship is a Second Sphere Power with the body of a giant warship. In contrast to Kinship, a Power used for transporting angelic armies across the battlefield, Worship uses the divine power of God to decimate his enemies. Worship's entrance into the fray is a sign that the battle is reaching its climax. They use energy blasts, Cherubim missiles, and laser attacks; an enemy who gets too close will discover the large, lunging jaws hiding behind each face.

Virtues

Extremely deadly, even in comparison to higher ranking angels, members of the Virtue sub-rank are fast, powerful, durable, and incredibly aggressive. They are regarded as some of the most difficult enemies that can be encountered. They usually appear paired with members of the Third Sphere, or in pairs, and are frequently underestimated.

Fairness - A Virtue charged with the administration of miracles, it is wrapped in flames when appearing in the physical world, a power emblematic of its courage. A torrent of flame blazing as bright as the sun, these flames become the light that burns away darkness from those who receive the graces of a Fairness. However, for those out of the angel's good graces, they are the fire and brimstone of destruction.
Grace and Glory - Grace, draped in flame, and Glory, controller of lightning, are the twin escorts of the Creator. They share a wild disposition and are often depicted as gods of war, heroically leading the soldiers of Paradiso into battle, with their giant claw-like weapons being symbols of their ferocity.
Urbane - As a notably advanced being even compared to other angels, Urbane, a Virtue in the angelic hierarchy, is said to be shaped by the subconscious fears of humans. Urbane's power to reduce the triumphs of civilization to mere ashes with a single swing of his arm most likely reflects the subconscious fears man harbors toward both the natural world and their own society. Flame gushes forth from this slow but brutal giant.

Dominions

The highest ranking members of the Second Sphere. Like Virtues, members of this sub-rank are deadly and brutally powerful, though they are also the least frequently encountered of the Second Sphere Angels. Their attacks are varied, have incredible range, and are extremely fast. In comparison to their Virtue counterparts they are similarly durable, but generally deal much more damage per hit.

Gravitas - A Dominion in the Second Sphere of angels. The name Gravitas means stern and severe, so this angel is often depicted as steep, uninhabited mountains forever frozen in ice. His extreme cold has been unpenetrated for eons, and it shows no change through the passage of time. Gravitas awaits silently for an opponent willing to sacrifice everything to face him. Winter gushes forth from this slow but brutal giant.
Harmony - Within the Second Sphere Dominions, whose name imparts feelings of control, sovereignty, and governance, the angels named Harmony stand as a special symbol of peace. When appearing in our world, it is said that humans experience their presence as an auroraesque light. In packs of five or six they attack with electricity-infused strikes or orbs.
Fearless - Fearless are classified as Dominions, the fourth rank amongst the hierarchy of angels. Controlling the lightning feared by many as the instrument of divine justice, Fearless make known the majesty of God to the masses. Swift and ferocious, they are rather like dogs in temperament.

The Demonomicon

-in hell, the strong survive, and the strongest rule. Beyond that, there is no semblance of order among chaos. Demons of this book are sorted by their strength.
((for better images, refer to the official books: Infernal Demons, Darkside Bestiary, Devil List

Tier 1 - Hellion

Marionette - former creations of enjoyment corrupted and animated by demonic power. Though quick in short bursts, encountered in groups, and wielders of blades, they are weak. Variation+: Bloody Mari and Scarecrows
Sin - sins are demons dependent on their connection to physical objects. They choose weapons like scissors and scythes as their form, and the illusionary reapers wield them. While able to fly and phase through solid surfaces, they are slow, vulnerable at the mask, and weak. Variation+: Mephistos, which are demonic scorpions that attack with extendable fingers. Variation++: Faust, which are like Mephistos but at greater Fiend level
Sargasso - floating demonic skulls capable of wielding magic, whether to cast spells or explode, but easily destroyed.
Hell Pride - while slow and easily defeated, Prides make up for their weaknesses with numbers. Variation+: Hell Envies, which are formed from green bile. Variation++: Hell Gluttonies, which use blasts of sand, and Hell Lusts, which are the fastest and strongest Hells
Hell Wrath - slow, weak, and tormented, Wraths carry organic sacks that explode violently at the slightest provocation. Variation+: Fleshbursters, which are larger, stronger, and have their bombs built in.
Minion - the dog of hell. Speedy pack hunters that attack with tooth and claw but unimpressive durability. Variation+: Flamecallers, which are made of lava, and Goreclaws, which are poisonous and diseased
The Wicked - human corpses reanimated by demonic energy. They are among the weakest of demonic creatures, and aren’t even controllable by their superiors. Variation+: Undead - humans reanimated by a demonic necromancer, possessed of greater combative and intellectual power. They usually wield weapons.

Tier 2 - Fiend

Hell Sloth - teleporting sand-powered assassins, vicious but slow.
Hell Greed - Strong carriers of urns, which spew forth sand to create Prides, Sloths, and Lusts to fight for it.
Dullahan - the husks of demon knights. Well-armored and nigh-impervious front the front, they charge to skewer and maim, but leave their vulnerable backs open.
Abyss - quick, fearsome, and strong, Abysses use blood as their medium to liquify and teleport. They work together intelligently to take down more formidable foes.
Abyssal Rider - infernal cavalry whose cracked flesh burns with hellfire. They can channel their fire into sorcery or through their horses. Remarkably difficult to defeat without a horse of one’s own.
Phantom Guard - the backbone of the legion of hell, these hideous soldiers come equipped with all varieties of weapons and armor
Hideous, Craver of Hatred - They constantly scuttle in groups, searching for unfortunate prey who have lost their way. Hideous often appear in groups in the human world as well, but displaying no cooperation and movement. For them, there is only scrambling for prey in a mad dash. Yet, Hideous possess a very strong intelligence, able to forge various weapons and rarely challenging enemies that appear in larger numbers than their own.
Hatred, Holder of Enmity - A Hideous that has been forced into starvation and has resorted to devouring its siblings to survive. Building enough power to stand alone in a fight, Hatred's anger and unspeakable rage still claim complete control of the Hideous around him, who tremble in his presence.
Malicious, Gazer of Death - A master occultist of Inferno who is the embodiment of malice. He is a shaman of hell who finds his greatest delight in deceiving and betraying others, trapping them in regret and hopelessness. It is capable of powering up the enemies that surround it, and never appears in battle alone. Malicious can attack by swiping with its feathery arms and conjuring a portal on the floor to ensnare.

Tier 3 - Devil

Hell Vanguard - slender demons that teleport themselves and allies around with magic circles and to the clamor of deathly bells. Their enchanted scythes drain life from their victims.
Blitz - elite demons who surround themselves in lightning to electrocute and teleport. Though powerful foes, they are blind, and sometimes mistakenly attack other demons.
Shadowcaster - snake demons that float in the air to rain down vile fire on their foes. Though extremely evasive, they are not as durable or destructive in melee combat as other Devils.
Gholen - massive and durable demons whose hands erupt with fire. Along with scorching flames, they attack with brute strength and concussive shockwaves. Gholens shake off blows that would fell trees, and crush skulls as if they were clay. Variation+: Earthcrackers, whose entire bodies are made of ultra-dense magmatic rock.
Jailer - hulking, repulsive creatures. Hanging from this shroud of decayed flesh are cages where the souls of those killed by the Jailer remain trapped. Though formidable, the controlling corpse at the heart can be pulled out and killed to slay the whole. Variation: Tormentor, harder to kill but easier to evade.
Wraith - seductive specters and devourers of life force. They wait to strike until an opportunity presents itself, and gouge out great injury when doing so.
Lich - Resembling a cloaked spirit carrying an urn, Liches are capable of summoning spectral skeletons referred to as The Host to defend themselves. They can also use their urn as a melee weapon in combat. Not extremely powerful combatants by themselves.
Phantom General - elite demonic commanders of the Phantom Guards, and the more sentient demon soldiers of hell as a whole. They are highly skilled with weapons, heavily armored, and seldom encountered without reinforcements.
Mictlantecuhtli, Presser of Destruction - A gigantic bat that lurks in one of the darkest and deepest of Inferno's endless caves. It is said to leave trails of the plague wherever it goes. Using speed and disease it slashes with its wings or curls into a vicious drill.
Pain, Driver of Agony - A powerful tank that would trample Angels with bloodstained iron wheels and drag them into a world of nightmares during wars with Paradiso. According to Vigrid legend, Pain's wheels were used for torture, until becoming sentient themselves and reincarnating in Inferno. Like his name, Pain is said to feed on the subconscious feelings of injury and hurt and one's soul and will appear anywhere people misguidedly attack each other in an effort to obscure their own sense of loss and loneliness.
Pride, Enveloper of Flame - A fallen angel from Paradiso who once served God as a blazing chariot. Bearing the name Pride, those who summon him trade their ears and eyes for power and pleasure. However, those who call him forth must be careful with his powerful: he controls his reins, not the one who summoned him. And once the flames of the chariot have been ignited, they cannot be extinguished. Not even by Pride himself.
Greed, Confuser of Elements - An abnormal creature possessing three necks, six legs, and nine stomachs. Though they are constantly hungry, they are unable to send the waste left behind from their constant gluttony. Those who are devoured by Greed are destined to be trapped for eternity, forever cut off from the cycle of death and rebirth. They attack with fearsome strength and speed, and command the powers of ice and fire.
Resentment, Swindler of Progress - Resentment, born from the sludge of Inferno, is an exact manifestation of bitter, repressed emotions inside humanity. Once it has chosen a victim, it will follow them forever, no matter the distance, until it can tie them down and make them feel the weight of the pains of hell. Aside from having a proficiency constriction and melee combat, Resentments can revert enemies to younger forms.
Sloth, Embracer of Extremes - A demon who lies in wait for pious believers to be granted entrace to Paradiso so he can slice them apart and cast them to Inferno during their ascencion. The six swords sheathed in his back represent gluttony, profanity, doubt, idiocy, rage and arrogance. Each blade awakens feelings in victims of its respective sin when cut. They attack with a bizarre but deadly six-sword style.

Tier 4 - Abomination

Fallen - angels tempted by hell and transformed by their evil into brutally strong, twisted monstrosities. Possessed of both a raging bloodlust and a rather reminiscent drive for punishment, they hunt down their targets and rip them to shreds in a seething rage for what they have lost.
Trauma - The Trauma are huge Demons, powerful enough to lift a bus. Their brutality is fearsome to behold. They are heavy assault demons, and can serve as walking battering rams to annihilate entire cities given enough time.
Suffering - repulsive four-armed abominations with frightening strength and agility. These monsters feed on the many corpses and mutate them into swarms of undead which they are capable of controlling with their roars.
The Noss - gigantic and immensely powerful Abyssal Creatures. Standing at several stories high, it supplements its momentous stomps and swipes with sonic blasts and ear-shattering screeches that call forth swarms of demonic wasps from their nests within it to sting its foes.
Gomorrah, Devourer of the Devine - a territorial and solitary monstrosity in the form of a vicious dragon. Thought to be the twisted souls of ancient kings who abused their citizens, Gomorrahs deliver pulverizing bites or throw their substantial weight onto their prey.
Scolopendra, Eradicator of Paradise - A vile centipede hailing from Frejentonta, a river of boiling blood in the depths of Inferno, rumors speak of it's body exceeding ten kilometers in length.
Moving unlike anything its size, its deftness allows it to wrap around and constrict its prey in the blink of an eye.
Phantasmaraneae, Twister of Flame - Enormous, incredibly rare spider demons found in hell's seas of magma. In addition to calling forth unquenchable fire, they spin webs and hatch broodlings with infamous speed.
Labolas, Destroyer of Fates - A beloved pet dog who had the bad luck to wander into hell, but the good luck and survival instincts to get through its harsh environment and grow into a force to be reckoned with. With the superb hunting abilities, it has even become known to some as a merciless butcher.
Baal, Empress of the Fathoms - Baal's enormous, wobbly body is too heavy for her to control, giving her a disadvantage in the heat of battle; however she possesses an endlessly extending tongue that can reach the far ends of the battlefield and swallow up opponents within an instant.

Tier 5 - Demon Lord

Hekatoncheir, Shatterer of Earth - A giant endowed with six fearsome arms capable of pulverizing mountains. Out of the infernal plane, only its arms appear. Lacking knowledge, but brimming with brutality, it is said that even the most powerful of conjurers should take heed of the danger this beast presents.
Hydra, Spinner of Destiny - A once beautiful maiden who was banished to hell for the sins of her younger sister and mutilated into a snakelike monster with seven heads. Her human heart has long since been lost, and she viciously attacks anything she deems an enemy. Those trapped by her seven heads must suffer slow, painful deaths. Out of her many heads, only one is real; slicing off any of the others will not amount to much more than a scratch.
Insidious, Consumer of All - a giant manta ray-like monstrosity with a skull motif and a large eye on each of its 'wings'. Due to having a role as a demonic carrier and destructive force, it could be considered the Infernal counterpart of Kinship and Worship. It sails though the air with tremendous speed and powers and can perform numerous attacks. A myriad's of hell's creatures live within his guts, making him useful as an assault set during wars with Paradiso. If swallowed by Insidious, the only way to escape is to stand atop a tower of corpses and wait for him to open his jaw while he engorges with his next feeding.

Gilgamesh Database

Gilgamesh is unrelenting in its defense of humanity and humanity’s interests. To do this, it employs what amounts to a private army known as the Reclaimers, but as with any armed force there exists a cream of the crop.

Operatives

Light Infantry

Primarily ranged fighters characterized by dependable though not overly damaged fire, the Light Infantry are among the more mundane of Gilgamesh’s operatives

Silver – though not cold or outright dismissive, this agent epitomizes apathy and a lack of will, even coming across as dryly ditzy at times. Nevertheless, she is a formidable soldier, and with her special rifle punches holes in enemy defenses for her allies to exploit. Her pack contains a ‘mirror shield’ generator, capable of reflecting incoming attacks.
Bullion – a former Demon Hunter who fought in blazing armor, only to be retired from the game for eight years after narrowly escaping death and leaving his fighting arm behind. In Gilgamesh he found new courage, and though possessed of a sardonic nature at times, quietly dedicates his all to the cause. His new left arm is a Devil Arm made from the soul of a bloodthirsty dictator who went to hell and returned as a demon.
Lysander – an old soldier who’s subsumed his identity into the persona he’s created in her personal war against the forces of the Hierarchy of Laguna. For their duplicity involving human spirituality he despises them. His wields an automatic mag-rifle and carbon-fiber armor, while his visor functions to both cast light and shield from light when needed.
Ophelia – a former Canadian police officer and the daughter of a demon hunter. When unnatural sickness struck her and demons attempted to use her to revive an ancient evil, Gilgamesh offered their aid, and after the ordeal was over she signed on in thanks. Her SMG puts out considerable damage at close range, and her cybernetic limbs are capable of injecting a paralyzing toxin.
Fortunato – an engineer and a crackshot with a hand cannon. His technological harness, powered by an internal reactor, serves as an iron lung for him and thusly keeps him alive. It can also Though a heavy drinker, he manages a certain eloquence and manner that keep him highly esteemed among his cohorts. In a pinch, he can jettison his reactor’s waste as a makeshift toxic bomb.

Heavy Infantry

Large weapons and suitably large firepower at range are found in this class. Though not always as versatile or mobile as Light Infantry, each one packs a punch.

Babyfingers – a colossal man made even larger by his extensive cybernetic modification. Horace –his real name- is a pillar in the battlefield, extremely hard to topple but impossible to ignore. His weapon, Fimbulventr, spreads vast quantities of freezing liquid, and can also create blocks of ice to fire as hard projectiles.
Lilija – a small Czech woman with huge firepower. Using angelic teleportation magic, her weapons system takes all sorts of special bombs from a storehouse near Gilgamesh HQ to imprint a firing code onto, launch, and detonate to great effect. One of the most humorous of all Gilgamesh operatives, Lilija is quick with a joke and has an eagle eye for puns.
Skylark - the Reclaimers' air commander. Though formally trained in the US airforce, this sharp-tongued motormouth is more likely to be found in her Tiltrotor Harness. With its turbines, she can hover in midair or fly at speed, and with its missile pods she can rain destruction on the battlefield. Its personal shielding system makes sure that no dime-a-dozen attack will faze her.
Petard – the name of an ancient French bomb is a fitting name for this demolitions expert. For most of his childhood, Petard –or Pete, for short- maintained an unusual connection with the heavenly plane, yet to destroy the forces of hell he joined the Reclaimers. His augmentation is a self-contained magic forge, capable of churning out intense heart or bombs of molten slag.
Marion – standing at 6’2” even without her armor, Marion rivals some of the titans of Gilgamesh in height. Despite this, she displays a rather sweet demeanor—unless her rage is unleashed, turning her into a frighteningly and brutal berserker. Her enormous weapon doubles as a gatling gun and a lance, but remains rather unwieldy.

Infiltrators

Quick and deadly but best in one-on-one encounters or duels, infiltrators are seldom seen on the front line

Tickler – formerly a crippled Russian punk without a cause, Tickler fights with reckless abandon and manic drive, making less of a fight with her enemies and more of a slaughter. Her arms are, in fact, twin Devil Arms formed from a demonic cephalopod called Morbuzahk, and they hold power of pain—to make enemies suffer or to strengthen herself. She is very capable of violently passionate affections.
Madamizuumi – an enigmatic warrior styling himself in appearance and fighting style after the ancient shinobi of Japan. His eerie visage and morbid mindset veer him into nigh-demonic territory at times, but in truth he is an ardent worshipper of the Creator. He fights with speed and precision, using ‘light bombs’ to dazzle and disorient the enemy.
Gloom, Bleeder of Jubilee – a demon and a defector from the underworld. While wandering on earth, he encountered several of Gilgamesh’s operatives, and was defeated and captured. After learning of his hatred for the underworld, the higher-ups authorized his experimental augmentation. Now part demon, part machine, and with a mind lambasted by conflicting ideas, he serves the corporation in the shadows as an assassin, armed with cruel blades and hemomancy.
Enoch – a drifter from Nepal turned sniper for Gilgamesh following an episode involving the destruction of a temple by the Hierarchy to retrieve an angelic artifact. His weapon is actually a miniature and highly-efficient railgun, firing bullets at enough speed to punch through metal, which he can then detonate. The canisters on his belt are smoke bombs. His love for the dramatic leads him to theatricality and plethoras of one-liners.
London – though more of a doctor than a soldier, London is an accomplished infiltrator, and highly skilled with knives both in hand and thrown. These knives are all magically-created copies of an Angel Arm, Brave, which she keeps in her belt with her other tools. It has no special effects aside from this, merely sporting an enhanced constitution. Whether at base performing research or surgery, or moving discreetly through enemy territory, London is impeccably calm. Among friends or enemies to taunt, however, she reveals a flirty side.

Skill Fighters

Melee fighters with middling attack power, middling agility, and middling defense. Unique skills often give their styles unique flair.

Argedko – a longtime Gilgamesh operative from Scotland. Generally cheery, she is a stickler for both stylish clothing and stylish fighting, citing flair as one of her main passions. Her partizan, Marowit, is a Devil Arm crafted from a creature of nightmares, and she can use it to make illusions just as well as to thrust, parry, and slash.
Macbeth – though Gilgamesh’s primary purpose lies in humanity’s defense against heaven and hell, other sorts of agents occupy its ranks. Macbeth is soft-spoken, dexterous, sadistic, and trained to fight superpowered humans. To that end, he employs Deva, a pair of cursed Devil Arm blades with a gradual petrification effect, with which he is frighteningly lethal.
Lenore – the newest warrior from a long, proud line of fighters, Lenore holds no compunctions about decimating her enemies with a smile on her face. She is courteous and attentive, sometimes creepily so, but there is nothing unusual about her proficiency with a flaming spear. Preferring to absorb damage and distract enemies, she fights with a defensive and extravagant style.
Algernon – a nonbeliever in the ability of technology on its own to stand up to angelic and demonic might, Algernon wields an axe and javelins from ages long past, blessed with the spirit of an ancient hero. A life’s worth of experience with the supernatural makes it difficult to surprise or outsmart him, and despite his brusque attitude he enjoys sharing knowledge with others.
Estragon – a swordfighter wielding a blade of electricity. He is direct, intuitive, preoccupied with mundane things, and rather lazy, but when push comes to shove he displays a natural skill with his weapon and a capacity for taking charge of dubious situations. Overclocking his sabre can turn it into a lightning rod, capable of making chain-lightning attacks but draining power faster. He is, unfortunately, ineffective against large opponents.

Strength Fighters

Brute power and immense durability form the core of this class of soldiers. Their ability to dish out and take punishment is difficult to match.

Jekyll – a Gilgamesh scientist born in Morocco, known for his morbid fascination for experimentation. He loves to study angels and demons at the biological level, and takes almost as much enjoyment out of tinkering in the lab as heading out into the field to acquire samples. Tanking punishment with his extremely resilient hazard suit, he brings a variety of toxic injections and poisonous gases to battle.
Ell – as gorgeous as Ell is, the word ‘confident’ doesn’t appear in her vocabulary. While a viciously powerful warrior with her screaming Angel Arm Israfel, which distorts air into concussive sonic blasts and spread crushing vibrations through solid objects, she is extraordinarily timid, even around her allies. She does, however, attempt to socialize—only to expose her incredible social awkwardness.
Atlas – towering over most of his allies, Atlas boasts that he rivals a Nephilim in physical power. His claim is substantiated by his ivory armor, which enhances his own inherent toughness. As boisterous bruiser, this Norwedgian is the first to accept a challenge and the last to give up at his best, but hardheaded and unobservant at his worst.
Katherina – a brilliant mind and an elegant appearance belay Katherina’s true nature. She is loud, obnoxious, and highly critical of her allies, never giving them any credit and constantly demanding. An insecure coward at heart, she fights completely removed from the action using a Gladiator drone that she pilots remotely. Unrestrained, impersonal, hardy, and untiring, it allows her to get the job done and return to playing videogames.
Tybalt – a board, heavy-set man from the American south and a steadfast defender. Wielding twin greatshields crafted from the souls of a fallen Grace & Glory pair, which are capable of locking together for maximum defense. He is self-sacrificing and self-effacing to the point of being morose and worried all the time, but few are more dependable comrades in battle than he.

Warlocks

Soldiers whose sorcery-derived talents land them variable position and strategy, some not suited to normal combat.

Moto – serious and respectful in combat, Moto wields an Angel arm called Simikiel. This chakram is capable of creating numerous identical copies of itself, all of which fly farther and faster than thrown, and can return to Moto when he wishes. His amulet is charged with power as he deals or takes damage, and when fully charged endows Moto with an aura of protective light that heals him and allies constantly.
Aguila – not many who dabble in the demonic arts are able to crawl back from the abyss, but Aguila did, and despite finding himself faced with distrust he chose to fight for humanity in the Reclaimers. The Devil Arm he wields, a staff called Gilead, did not come from Regalia, Gilgamesh’s arms manufacturer, but it wields the power to conjure flame and form it into the shapes of monsters to battle on Aguila’s behalf. He treats life somewhat flippantly, and never turns down a chance to annoy someone.
Viola – though embroiled in an attempt to revive the Umbran Order for a time, Viola eventually abandoned the reformed clan to join Gilgamesh for personal reasons, but she did not leave her sorcery behind. Like most witches, she is capable of extending her hair, but in her case she uses it solely to form giant hands or lances to attack with. Otherwise, she creates magic runes with all sorts of effects.
Hector – hailing from Spain, Hector served for most of his life as a Catholic priest, but found his life changed forever by an encounter with an angel of the Army of Light. He went on to study the supernatural, but arrived at the conclusion that humanity, made in the image of God, could not fall into oblivion under the cruelty of both hell and the Hierarchy of Laguna. Using magic he controls sand freely, using it to attack or creating constructs to fight for him.
Prospero – the so-called ‘modern mage’ commands a unique blend of technology and sorcery. Inventive and curious, he constantly strives to solve things more quickly and efficiently. On the battlefield, his hexes create and alter plantlife, and he displays a proficient telekinesis. By no means a physically imposing individual, he prefers to support his allies and hinder allies from afar. Known to stutter.

Elite Operatives

Phantom – a public face of Gilgamesh and one of its most-feared combatants. Styling herself after a vengeful spirit, she employs top-of-the-line cybernetic augmentations to fight faster and stronger than any human, to move in ways unimagined, and to vanish without a trace.
Yousai – not much is known about this hulking metal monster. It only seems to appear on the battlefield, an impregnable fortress of titanium armed with twin mortars and a sniper rifle better classified as a railgun. Rumor tells, however, of an old Japanese soldier and his young granddaughter who pilot the immense mech together, one as pilot and the other as gunner. The same rumors tell that both are skilled warriors in their own right, and that if some unnamable abomination were to crack this walking fortress, its achievement would be only the beginning of the battle.
Durandal – one of Gilgamesh’s heroes, though at first glance he doesn’t seem the part. As a teenager, he was abducted by a sadistic demon corrupter that attempted to make him into a weapon. The demon succeeded only enough to make blades sprout from his skin, for those very blades proved his end. He found refuge at Gilgamesh, and for exceptional courage during an important mission was given the soul of the horned demon Umbrage, Venter of Frustration, forged into the shape of a massive lance. Wielding its inimitable penetrating power in addition to his own strength, Durandal labors to reduce anything that stands in the way of humanity’s ascension to a eviscerated pulp.

[Sho Minazuki]

Name: Sevrin

Hider

Theme Song: Gluttony Fang

Name: Sevrin
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Race: Human?

Faction: N/A

Personality: Resourceful, but a tad cowardly, preferring to avoid battle whenever possible. Sevrin shows to still be a very skilled operative even then. Also quite the talker, he prefers to make others do his bidding. Ever since that night though, he has been a little off than usual, but he doesn’t appear to act or speak all too differently.

Bio: Having distinguished himself as a fine informant and operative when it comes to recon and gather information on demons, Sevrin has risen the ranks of the Demon Hunter’s Association quite handily. Hailing from a rich family that was killed by demons, the exposure to demons never left him, and it became inevitable that he would become a demon hunter.

Years later he has made a name for himself not as a fighter, but as one who would find these demons. Try as he might he wasn’t a fighter, but his ability to find information was uncanny, and his recon skills were some of the best. One night on a lead he encountered a demon, and that was all he remembered of that night.

The demon that possessed the human known as Sevrin originated from the darkest depths of the underworld, behind a giant seal. It has been far too long, and the one who lurks behind this seal has left the minds of many, all but the ones who lived during his time.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:
Devourer Murder - Using an aspect of death, a flock of crows, Sevrin is able to use crows to do his bidding, whether it be to scout, eat and gather energy, or fight. This is a demon ability, and has minimal applications in battle.
Wraith Apparition - In combat, Sevrin is able to call forth wraiths to aid his attacks, adding a draining touch and damage. This is applied most in battle.
River Styx - A special mode that taps deeper into his demonic power. It creates a zone around him that drains life force for those within. During this mode the power of any of his demonic attacks are also increased, and the more enemies inside the zone, the more powerful his attacks as he draws directly from them too.

Style:
Phantom [LV2] - A style that’s a whole bag of tricks, employing the use of feints and footwork to evade and set up counter-attacks. At level 1 the style has access to after-images. At level 2 the style has access to active mirages which do actions on their own.

Equipment:
Kerberos [LV2] - A souvenir from his prison in the demon world, after killing a Cerberus demon, different to the one seated within Temen ni Gru, the beast turned into a set of three daggers, all connected by a magical chain that can be materialized freely. The three daggers are all duja ve knives. The knives can be wielded separately as up to three knives, or as similar to the icy Cerberus weapon, as a single Devil Arm.

Level 2 - Unlock Three Beasts Stance

Hydra [LV1] - Gained by killing a demon of the same name, it takes the form of black red armored leggings with golden blades. The weapon has considerable speed and power, and much like the demon it was created from, it has the ability to strike with such speed as if there were multiple attackers.

Yamato [LV--] - Taken during the battle of the Second Seal at the Eidolic Cairn, originally belonging to Nero at the time. Though Sevrin is able to wield it, he unlike it's previous users in the Sparda lineage, cannot make use of it's full potential. Therefore it is locked on the first level. He can still make use of it's ability to theoretically slice through anything.

Techniques:

Demon Powers

• Raven Flock [LV2] - An alternative recovery where he briefly turns into crows to readjust his aerial position. He can counter-attack immediately out of it.
• Slide-Dodge - A different type of dodge-roll, furthermore it doesn't jump if done backwards and can be cancelled midway with basic moves, giving new options for counter-attacks.

Kerberos

• Hell Leash [LV2] - A basic move where he sends out a chain with a pair of jaws at the end. He can latch onto enemies with this, and either pull them to him, or pull himself to them. Level 2 he can use the latching jaws in melee range as a grappling move.
  
  Thresher Maw - A more brutal bite that slams the opponent into the ground, or sends them up into the air.
• Beast Sword - When using slashing moves, he can use his powers to extend their range for reliable melee attacks.
• Three Fang Strike - Three strikes in quick succession with a high launch and power to the third strike. Can be done midair too.
• Beast Crush - Twirls the knives in his hand and sweeps sideways while twirling them, done especially fast. Strikes many times all at once, overpowering most defenses.
• Three Beasts Stance - Upon using this move he will enter a stance that gives him access to one of three moves. This stance can be cancelled, and he can slide-dodge while maintaining this stance, and can use any of the three moves mid-slide-dodge.
  
  Secular Fang - A direct upward wide swing stepping forward, but if done while slide dodging backwards, he maintains his position while avoiding an attack at that instant.
  
  • Material Fang - Steps backwards at the same time as twirling out the knives, throwing enemies into the air with a rising hooked knife swing.
  • Individual Fang - A jumping strike that hits hard vertically, usually slamming enemies into the ground, or pulling them out of the air if they're flying low enough.

Hydra

• Hydrive - Expel a bladed beam for short to mid range with a kick.
  
  Hi-Drive - The same as Hydrive, but jump into the air at the same time.
• Dragonbreak - A diving axe kick, it's especially steep, fast, and has a powerful impact, allowing it to break defenses.
• Aerial Rave - Midair kick combo with acrobatic moves, ending with kicking off of the enemy to jump higher.

Yamato

• Yamato Combo 1 - Unsheathe-strike, followed by two more strikes and then sheathing. Done very quickly.
• Soul Splitter - A chargeable slash, unsheathes and raise blade skyward in a stance, and then slash, slicing the area in front, as well as dealing light to heavy damage depending on charge to whatever is struck by the blade itself.
• The Unjudged - Call forth Yamato in a sheathed state and block an attack. If it is blocked, Sevrin will proceed to dash past them at instantaneous speed while slashing them.

Phantom Style

• Reaper Hop - Right before being struck, do a fast phantasmal dash to the flank of the attacker.
• Mirage Hop - Followed up off of a Reaper Hop, allows the user to do another Reaper Hop while leaving behind a mirage.
• Phantom Twin-Step - Dash backwards and then forwards really quickly while leaving an after-image. This move gives the illusion that the user had never moved, while the attacker’s strike misses. Not as safe as Reaper Hop, but can lead to a grapple.
• Mirage Lash - Jump-dash backwards, throwing knives at the same time while leaving a mirage behind, making it harder to see the knives coming.
• Phantom Rush - Simply send out a mirage to attack directly, deals no damage, but he can use this to completely cover his own advance.
• Shuffle Image - By summoning multiple at once that do sidesteps and evasive moves at the same time as him, he can make it near-impossible to land an intentional strike on him. It can also lead to an unexpected strike.
• Black Dog - From any of the mirage moves, he can have the mirage attack with his Kerberos Hell Leash attack, including every single mirage in Shuffle Image. This can make his Hell Leash advances difficult to read.

[Kafka Komedy]

Bloody Mary

Info

A warped record plays her song...
Name: Maria Dahl
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Race: Human?

Appearance: (She does not have the robot-esque hands. Her hands are normal.) She's a tall woman of slim build and average muscle. She sports platinum blonde hair that goes to right above the shoulder, and hides it in her bonnet thingy. She is fair-skinned, and has a nice, soft face, with slightly thin lips, and a petite nose. Her bust size is a bit below average, and she has slender legs. Her hands are surprisingly quite soft, and she does not wear any sort of nail polish. Her hips are quite wide, but hidden under her antique dress.

Faction: Order of the Sword

Personality: An intelligent lady who is naturally sweet, but unflinchingly honest, mainly because she doesn't realize when she says something rude. Fairly easily persuaded and trusting. Also very quiet, even though she believes she is right almost always due to being praised for most all of her life. She shares a natural sympathy for demons and angels due to her interactions and bond with Hunter, but will still kill demons or angels and adapt their technologies and allow others to experiment on them. The dead have no regrets after all.

She has a supreme hatred of her silvery blood, becoming ashamed and almost vomiting at it's sight. She also only use her demon-like form as an absolute last resort.

Bio: Born and raised in Sweden, she was a star student in school and quickly rose the academic ranks, going to college at only 15. With double degrees in both Theology and Engineering, the incident at Fortuna naturally interested her. At 19 She moved there and attempted to get closer to the Order by joining it, but realized that, as management changed hands the organization now fought for good. Her skill allowed her to work under the Head Researcher, a man with the visage of an demon named Hunter.

The old man treated her like his daughter, doting and focusing on her as if she was his own. He had never had a child due to his experiments turning him into a demon, and she had never had a father, so the glove seemed to fit. As the man grew older though, he realized that he was going to have to pass his work onto her. His last project before he retired was a bio-engineering magnum opus that aimed to give the power of the divine to humans without making them horrific beasts or sacrificing themselves to demonhood. Maria was to be the recipient.

The experiment wasn't a complete success. Though Mary didn't completely sacrifice her humanity and become a demon, she is no longer fully human. She has spliced her blood with that of a demon's. Though she is not a demon she can become a demon-like creature at will, and her blood is a sickly luminous white. Both she and Hunter refused to report this to Kyrie and Nero, instead pretending that the experiment just made her faster and stronger. Currently, she is trying to figure out a way to dissuade The Order from adopting this mutation for regular use, all while caught up in the middle of the apocalypse. What's a girl to do, ey?

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities: unnatural almost demonic strength and speed, though her body is still as frail as a human's.

• Devil Trigger: A more bestial form bestowing her lots of fur, razor sharp teeth and claws, and antlers. This mode givers her increased power, defense, and speed. But she can only use this for a limited amount of time, and hates revealing her demon visage. She also gains some DT-specific techniques.
• Firebrand Trigger: Fairly similar to her DT, except fiery. A trail of magma follows behind her, seeping out of her legs, and she's able to enhance her attacks with explosions.

Style:
Huntress, LV 1 - This style gives Mary speed. Her focus in this mode will be to allow the enemy to wear itself out, quickly dodging in and out of it's range and lightly attack before escaping. At LV 1 this allows her great boosts of speed similar to a dodge in any direction, except up or down. Along with a general speed boost, of course.
LVL 2 - Flashsteps, incredible jumps, wall running, etc.
LVL 3 - Corporeal Illusions

Beasthood, LV 1 - This style gives Mary power. Her focus in this mode is to completely curb stomp the enemy, relentlessly attacking it until it's not more than dust. At LV 1 this allows her to hold either two weapons at the same time, or a ridiculously large two handed weapon. Along with a general attack speed and strength boost, of course.
LVL 2 - 3 weapons at once
LVL 3 - 3 weapons times 3

Equipment:

The Plain Ol' Doll, LV 1

A long handgun infused with divine power so that it may harm demons and angel. Crafted by both Hunter and Mary as their first duo project.
[LV 2] The gun becomes full auto.
[LV 3] Infuse blood into the bullets to increase their power.

Burial Suit, LV 1

A large scimitar that cuts through the air (and everything else) like butter. She may also attach it to the handle made of angel bone to transform it into a scythe when in Beasthood Style. Hunter's weapon for when he was still gathering materials "in the field."
[LV 2] Demonic thorns cover the blade, dealing more damage and inflicting bleeding.
[LV 3] Add a Exceed Engine to the BS.

The Entertainer, LV 1

Made of Orpheus, a human turned demon by rejecting the gods, this jitte has the ability to manipulate vibrations. At level one, it may simply generate these vibrations, useful for audial trickery or enhanced attacks.
[LV 2] Manipulate existing vibrations.
[LV 3] The vibrations become magical, not needing a medium to travel through.

Projectile Projections LV 1

Obtained from Lily, Mary now has the ability to summon simple weapons by solidifying magic. Because of their ephemeral nature, they're mostly used as throwing weapons. At level one, Mary can summon both spears and shuriken to throw. The shuriken are faster, and more than one can be thrown at a time in Huntress, while the spears fly farther, and are a bit more powerful.
[LV 2] Mary can now summon swords to act as a shield.
[LV 3] Mary now has complete control of all summoned weapons.

Magma Dash - A quick burst of speed that leaves a thick trail of lava behind Mary.
Rondo of Burn - Use the vibrations of TE to create a wave of lava.
Some of her attacks have small explosive AoEs added.

Blair

Name: Blair (is called Layla by some, possibly one of the names she used to go by)
Gender: Female
Age: 2000+
Race: Demon

Appearance: While in Devil Trigger, her hands turn into sharp talons, grows black wings and has Cloven Hooves. In Blood Rage, her eyes turn crimson red.

Faction: Hell, Serving as one of Mundus' generals.

Personality: She's an enigma to say the least, one that can either be easy to read at times or near impossible, depending on who you ask and what state she's in. Normally, she's cold and quiet, speaking only during times she deems necessary (or rather when she feels like it), occasionally resorting bodily gestures (like nod of the head or her hands) in repliance (to the displeasure of most who deal with her, some feeling insulted). However, her personality drastically changes when she activates her Devil Trigger, shifting to a darker, crueler and a bit more psychotic personality. She's obedient to the orders given, however, that doesn't exactly mean loyalty. Which is hard to determine since she chooses to remain silent.

Bio: Little is known about her personal history, however, she is a demon that was known to hide amongst humanity and cause despair. She is what humanity would deem as a 'vampire'. She is remembered in Scottish mythology as a 'baobhan sith', or a blood-sucking female fairy, known as the 'The White Woman Of The Scottish Highlands." Using her enchanting appearance, she would seduce and lure young travelers to secluded places before attacking them with her sharp talons, when their guard is down, and suck their blood. It was also said she was able to suck out their life force or sexual potency, but who knows if they are true, humans do tend to get imaginative as time advances.

Known as one of Mundus' generals, however, when he was sealed, she was seen in the service of another, strongly implied to be the queen (sheba), but again, who knows if they're true, hard to find evidence when all who claim it are now dead. Just as she was long ago, she's a demon almost no one knows anything about.

PC

Hyobanshi Souta

[Character]

Name: Hyobanshi Souta
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Race: Human

Appearance: Don’t feel bad for looking at Souta and not expecting much from him—it’s a judgment many have made, and not all of them in error. 6’0” flat and with a stocky built, he has on his rather ovular head short, spiky hair with tips that have started graying way prematurely. A practically-indelible black stubble lines his jaw, though it projects into a short, pointy, downward tuft on his chin. His eyes are a deep green, a color he has embraced in his choice of clothing. Souta wears a pine-green, somewhat high-quality hoodie with voluminous lower sleeves. Beneath the hoodie is a white muscle-shirt whose tightness reveals Souta’s unexpected fitness. He wears baggy black pants with attached suspenders, though the suspenders hang down next to his knees. Dark green shoes complete the ensemble.

Faction: Regalia Arms (heir)

Personality: Best defined by his quietly independent nature, Souta is someone who looks after himself and his passions with a hidden intensity. He’s social but not talkative, unless his temper flares, as it does fairly frequently. When his anger’s aroused, he can be unpleasant and even thuggish. While generally lazy, which certainly hasn’t impressed his father, he’s able to call forth a manic drive at times to get things done. No great shakes when it comes to sudden genius, he is nevertheless capable of exhibiting a noteworthy intelligence, as shown by his double-major in business –at his father’s insistence- and design. Cool things in games and movies are what really gets Souta hyped, and he takes pride in his knowledge of vehicles, weaponry, armor, and combat—even if he himself is not the pinnacle of skill in any of those areas.

Bio: As much as his sister Otsune embodies the perfect child and prodigy that his father so desired, Souta did not. He despised things like hierarchy, calculations, investments, transactions, and ultimately order from his early teenage years. His father Daisuke, soon discovering that he would not coax a legacy out of his surly son, extended what compassion he in his disappointment could and allowed Souta do go his own way with one exception: even if he hated it, Souta would have to major in business in college. The knowledge, Daisuke said, would do him good, especially if he ever decided to put a hold on less than academic passions and pursue a real job. Deciding this would be an acceptable if loathsome sacrifice for comfortable allowance, Souta indulged in gaming and design, developing an appreciation for and fascination with style, be it in clothing or in weapons.

Ultimately, this passion led him full circle and back again to his father’s company, Regalia Arms. As a young adult he rediscovered his family’s business, not as a leader, but as a low-level concepter and tester. He despised the limelight and special favors, choosing instead to play the role of an independent worker. After participating in the creation of hundreds of special weapons and garbs to suit the supernatural needs of customers around the world, Souta was inspired by both his work and the courage of his sister, not just in overcoming her sickness, but in becoming a legendary fighter for humanity, to begin his own fight. While always down for a scrap when the mood suited him, Souta could not have anticipated that his own campaign for the sake of humanity, starting with the creation of four unique Devil Arms to call his own and the fabrication of an empowered outfit, would lead him to such a bizarre and dangerous world.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:

Full Description

Without any angelic or demonic heritage or connections, or cybernetic augmentations like his sister, (name) gets his supernatural abilities from the elaborate designs stitched into his clothes. When he wills it, the swirling waves and crashing surf normally barely-perceptible on his hoodie and pants light up a fluid teal, and flowing water enhances his attacks and movements. The water is not real, and vanishes after splashing or separation

Rising Tide - all-around improvement facilitated by flowing water

Style:

Full Description

There’s only one style that really describes the many weapons (name) carries and how he uses them: Walking Armory. Even if he’s not especially proficient with them, the amount of weapons he has as well as the speed with which he can summon them mean that he can always adapt to a situation and keep enemies on their toes.

Walking Armory [Lvl 1]: Escre, Trawler, Silverbist, Maelstrom

Equipment:

FullDescription

As heir to Regalia Arms, (name) comes equipped with a whole host of different weapons, all magically summoned from stitched representations in his hoodie. They include:
(Escre) – the most valuable of (name)’s weapons. It is a warhammer crafted from a soul belonging to a lich slain by his sister. Unlike most Devil Arms hammers, it is an appropriately-sized weapon wieldable with one hand but just as devastating against armor. When using Escre, (name) is able to summon spectral skeletons out of himself made of flowing teal water. They can only exist for a moment, about enough time to deliver or block a single attack, before they disperse, but by giving Escre to one of them, he can prolong its existence and fight alongside it.
(Trawler) – a pair of large fishhooks, not terribly unlike sickles, connected to the user’s palms via magically-extendible chains. The lightweight hooks can be used to slash, stab, or capture, either at melee range or when thrown. They react to flowing water the best out of (name)’s weapons, and are extremely fast.
(Silverbeast) – a pair of clawed gauntlets, with blades up to a foot long attached to the knuckles. The usage of these gauntlets confers a bestial sort of agility and ferocity on moves performed with them, allowing the wielder to cover lots of space in an instant or perform great leaping slashes.
(Maelstrom) – (name)’s favorite firearm. It is a single-shot shotgun heavily stylized to resemble ancient Japanese cannons. Its projectile of fused blue fire explodes like a normal shotgun shell if the trigger is pulled and released, but holding the trigger fires the projectile and delays the explosion until the trigger is released.

Escre [Lvl 1] - warhammer that can be used to summon split-second skeletons
Trawler [Lvl 1] - extendable fishhooks on chains useful for quick, long-range attacks
Silverbeast [Lvl 1] - steel claw gauntlets with a life of their own. Enhances movement
Maelstrom [Lvl 1] - stylized single-shot shotgun that shoots fused blue fire

Techniques:
Escre
Jolly Roger – the conference of Escre to one of the skeletons summoned by it gives the skeleton greater duration, resilience, power, and ability to operate on its own. Calling ‘Roger!’ summons a skeleton to take the hammer from his back or his hand, automatically empowering it.
Squall - a powerful and near-instance lunging thrust with the spike on the warhammer’s tip. It stirs the weapon, which releases a moaning sound
Boarding Party - Souta reels back before hurling Escre full-force at single opponent. Two skeletons appear right next to him, pick him, up, and toss him in the same direction, and Souta lands with a ground pound before picking Escre back up.

Trawler
Anchor - by throwing both hooks at a distant enemy, Souta grabs it and drags it toward him, lining them up for a free followup attack.
Tackle - lunging forward, Souta hooks the enemy with both hooks and kicks them away. The chains tighten and cause the foe to halt and fall to the ground at a range ideal for Trawler.
Line and Sinker - Trawler wraps around an enemy completely, binding it, and Souta whips the bound foe around, using it as a weapon to bludgeon others.

Silverbeast
Squall – a powerful and near-instant double slash attack that carries the user forward. It stirs the weapon, which releases a snarling sound
Vortex - slashing furiously, Souta rises into the air, carring the foe and any nearby with him
Riptide - a double overhead slash that sends Souta and his enemies to the ground.

Maelstrom
Deluge – firing Maelstrom into the air and releasing it creates a shower of fused blue fire that rains down on any enemies below.
Splash - jumping, Maelstrom is fired straight down, creation an explosion of blue fire that launches him up and enemies away, making space for him to do some damage.

Hyobanshi Otsune

[Character]

Name: Hyobanshi Otsune
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Race: Cyborg

Appearance: Even to those familiar with unusual-looking people, Otsune is intriguing. She is rather short, standing at only 5’1” with her everyday augmentations in, and is naturally both slender of body and pale of complexion. Her pitch-black silky hair falls in waves to the small of her back, and aside from a rather pointy nose her features are smooth. Rather than arms and lower legs, she sports cybernetic replacements that come in two varieties. In everyday circumstances, she can be seen sporting her white ‘Skeleton’ augmentations, which are about the same size as normal limbs but feature hollowed-out centers. They go well with the flawless white dresses and blouses she commonly wears. In action scenarios, however, Otsune is equipped with her ‘Revenant’ augmentations, which are black, larger, thicker, stronger, and made for war. Whenever she’s in public, Otsune also wears a headband with a contoured electronic patch on the front, which displays an orange lotus flower light-up design.

Faction: Gilgamesh Incorporated (#2 to CEO)

Personality: Oddly enough for her nature as a cyborg, which allows her to be terrifying in combat, Otsune practically embodies the ideal secretary in personality. She is cordial and highly courteous, talkative without being annoying, and extremely clever. However, she is also very serious about her job and the cause it stands for, and despite all her niceties will not hesitate to engage in combat at a moment’s notice if she, her company, or anyone she cares about comes under threat. Ostune keeps a cool head in stressful situations, often reacting to the bizarre occurrences in a threefold world with dull surprise. However, her calm and controlled persona can be broken by extreme circumstances, and when broken Otsune breaks hard. She is not tolerant of fools, but doesn’t typically hesitate to extend her criticism to others at times, either. She does, however, love cute animals.

Bio: For over 25 years, the Japanese company Regalia Arms operated in secret. Though a great many across the world believed in them, not many humans were aware of the existence of heaven and hell, but those who did –unless they lived under rocks- could all attest to the quality and necessity of the devil arms produced by Regalia. Only recently, under the direction of (CEO), did it become as well-known to ordinary people as to those lucid to the three realities. Having manufactured and sold weapons crafted from the souls of slain demons, as well as weapons empowered by the dying blessing of angels, for so long, Regalia began producing water-down versions of their tech for use the world over, naturally implementing a magical ammunition only purchasable at Regalia. Business boomed, but not all was well for its CEO, Hyobanshi Daisuke.

His eldest child, a daughter and the apple of his eye, had been growing steadily sicker as his business had been growing healthier. More and more, Daisuke found himself torn away from his work to rush to the hospital or pay a visit to a store, all in the hopes of making his child feel better. From the beginning she’d always been a serious, brilliant, and quiet girl, and she’d always endeavored and succeeded to make her no-nonsense father proud, but after being diagnosed with cancer in her 19th year she’d gradually grown as serious and quiet as a corpse. With bitter tears Daisuke had vowed to use his company to find a way to save her; neither heaven nor hell could have any claim to her until Otsune decided that her time had come. Finally, on his daughter’s twenty-first birthday, salvation came in the form of Regalia Arms’ partner, Gilgamesh Incorporated.

A treatment of medicine reverse-engineered from the angels concentrated the malignant cells into Otsune’s arms and legs, and from there Daisuke ordered that his daughter be subjected to a standard cybernetic augmentation procedure. Otsune’s arms and legs were amputated and replaced with the finest Gilgamesh tech its CEO could aquire. When she awoke, Otsune found that she could walk again, and wept in joy. In fact, she could do so much more. Determined to repay Gilgamesh for saving her, Otsune joined the company and quickly rose to the rank of #2 as the epitome of human compassion, and cybernetic achievement, though her deathly look never quite abandoned her. With this choice, Otsune left behind her kid brother, Souta, who followed a path of his own.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:

Full Description

Even with her everyday Skeleton augmentations Otsune is stronger, faster, and more agile than the average Asian woman, but her Revenant augmentations bring her to another level entirely. Incorporating a unique blend of angelic and demonic tech into a grim, black aesthetic, the Revenant suit makes Otsune a terror on the battlefield. With it, she exceeds half-demons in strength, lateral running speed, and jump height. Its long arms and fingers contain servos that can deliver crushing force, but enable enough agility to perform Karate throws and strikes with learned precision. Over a dozen miniature boosters reside in strategic positions throughout the augmentations, which can reposition themselves freely in their sockets to fire in whatever direction needed to propel Otsune where she wants to go, be it a sliding kick, a rising uppercut, or a swift backdash. Finally, the lower legs have containers of ‘phantom powder’ which when released distorts light, making Otsune difficult to see.

Revenant Augmentation - massively increased strength, speed, durability
Burabura Boost - rocket-propelled bursts of movement in any direction
Phantom Powder - clouds of released particles distort light to make Otsune near-invisible

Style:

Full Description

Otsune’s style takes the name of Japanese spirits: Yokai. It is a primarily hand-to-hand style that combines traditional Japanese karate with Revenant Boosts and Phantom Powder to create an all-out offense that nevertheless manages to be tricky, unpredictable, and versatile. Her preferred strategy is to either ambush her enemies invisibly or soften them up with missiles before charging in for the kill. However, during sustained combat against multiple foes, she employs one other style: Futakuchi-onna. In this style, she faces away from her opponents, looking back over her shoulder. Her Free Blade System does most of the direct attacking, while her stronger moves come from spinning to strike with her augmentations.

Yokai [Lvl 1]: brutal all-out offense that employs stealth, strength, and speed
+[Lvl 2]: Otsune gains unpredictable mix-up options, with faster cloaking time, greater speed while cloaked, and grappling ability
Futakuchi-onna [Lvl 1]: backward-facing style used for control and multiple hits
+[Lvl 2]: Otsune’s arms and legs extend for greater range; the Free Blade System is improved

Equipment:

Full Description

The Revenant suit comes with a few weapons built-in. Mounted under the upper-arm on each arm is a mini-missile launcher, which launch three speedy but small-radius missiles in quick succession when fired. Far more impressive is the Free Blade System. Stored on Otsune’s back are six one-sided cleaver blades with built-in hoverballs and control modules. These cleavers, each about two feet long can detach to float freely behind Otsune’s back in the rough shape of wings. These blades can be combines with one another into larger cleavers, the largest form of which includes all six and is as big as Revenant Otsune herself. She commands the cleaver/s to attack with electronic signals, most of which operate from hand motions. The signal extends only a short way, limiting the Free Blade System’s range.

Helix Launcher [Lvl 1]: three-missile pods attached beneath the upper arm
Free Blade System [Lvl 1]: array of six floating cleavers to be cast or combined

Techniques:
Burabura Boost – any number of the mobile rockets situated throughout the armor system fire, propelling Otsune in any direction. It enables her to perform Rocket Techniques, which include: clothesline, lunging grab, straight lunge, rocket roundhouse, rocket sidekick, flash kick, and Dead Lift
Dead Rising – a rocket-propelled uppercut. The pain can be continued by following up with a missile salvo.
Oni - boosters active, Otsune rolls into a protective ball and flies forward with great force.

Free Blade System
Onna Getcha – the Free Blade System forms the cleavers into the shape of a fanged mouth that lunges out to deliver a vicious bite
Kyodai-Na – the Free Blade System assembles all of the cleavers into a single, giant cleaver to deliver huge, brutal strikes
Tengu - with the Free Blade System assembled into wings, Otsune performs a series of flips, striking with each in turn
Rokuro-kubi - all of the cleavers overlap, then extend all at once in a telescoping fashion, goring straight through enemies in a line.

Sargon Bel

[Character]

Name: Sargon Bel
Gender: Male
Age: 49

Race: Human

Appearance: Sargon combines propriety with straightforward simplicity to create a look both functional and stylish. His skin is very dark and his hair close-shaven enough to give the appearance of baldness; a large nose and piercing blue eyes -achieved through the use of colored contact lenses, without which he can barely see- distinguish his face. Sargon is very fit for his age, and he wears a slate blue suit unbuttoned along with a white undershirt, striped tie, and thick-soled black shoes.

Faction: Humanity (Gilgamesh CEO)

Personality: Sargon is intelligent, proud, and dedicated. He believes in the fundamental goodness of humanity and the fundamental necessity of freedom, and to that end has made it his cause to empower humanity against heaven and hell. His ultimate goal, which has become the mission of Gilgamesh Inc, is to make humanity an authority the equal of heaven and hell. On a personal note, Sargon is an inspiring leader, skilled in connecting with his fellow man. His charisma is second only to his perseverance.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:
-none-

Style:
Bullet Art [Lvl 2]: The Impunity Drive makes Sargon the ruler of projectiles. He can stop, slow down, speed up, spin, curve, and control the ricochet of bullets. In addition, he can deflect and divert energy-pased projectiles, be they technological or magical.

Equipment:

FullDescription

One of the pinnacles of Gilgamesh technology is not a cybernetic augmentation or doomsday device, but a simple and deadly combination. The Miracle Maker is a magnum pistol connected to the Impunity Drive, which is an engine strapped to Sargon’s wrist both technological and magical in nature. While the Miracle Maker is a lethal weapon on its own, its true power comes from the Drive, which not only makes bullets float around the weapon, which reload it automatically, but also enables him to perform practically any shot with it he could possible want.

Miracle Maker [Lvl 2] - a magnum pistol with incredible properties
Impunity Drive [Lvl 2] - a half-magnetic, half-magical projectile manipulator

Techniques:
Miracle Maker
Kick Six - Sargon unloads all six shots in quick succession, and they all home in on a single target to keep it juggled
Flea Flicker - After aim is taken, a single shot is unleashed that travels at incredible speed and recoils off all solid surfaces, including other bullets, in an area.
Zone Blitz - A number of bullets are positoned above a certain area. An enemy that moves beneath them triggers the bullets to rain down and rip through.
Split End - Sargon fires four bullets, each one hanging in the air until the others are right beside it. It then shoots forward, and when near a target, explodes like a shotgun blast.
Crackback Block - The floating bullets zoom into action, whirling around Sargon in a defensive tornado
Blowout - An empowered, charged shot that shreds armor
End Zone - All of Sargons floating bullets move to occupy an area of his choice. They lie in wait until an enemy is in the center of the area, at which point the zone activates. Whenever the enemy moves within a bullet’s path, that bullet fires. End Zone is a deathtrap.

Gomory

[Character]

Name: Gomory
Gender: Female
Age: ???

Race: Demon

Appearance: To ordinary people, Gomory appears as a voluptuous human female of Chinese heritage. She wears a revealing pink cheongsam and yellow sash in a ceremonious manner, as well as sandals and a pin in her long brown hair. A golden necklace with a pink gem inladen hangs around her neck. Prominent eyeshadow and lipstick feature upon her face, though it never hosts a smile. Gomory gives the impression of an austere, untouchable beauty. However, when the gig is up parts of Gomory’s true form appears. She sprouts purplish-gray horns and her right arm adopts the same consistency, with enhanced musculature and fearsome claws.

Faction: Hell (Talent Seeker and Warrior)

Personality: For a demon, and one possessed of such exquisite physical beauty, Gomory is rather restrained. She is capable of incredible violence, of course, but she prefers to heighten the impact of such moments by keeping them few and far between. If the legions of hell are a blunt instrument, Gomory is a scalpel. Despite her generally cold and unfriendly demeanor, which are byproducts of a serious nature, she is exceptionally talented at pretending at emotions in order to manipulate. This, combined with her nose for suffering, anger, and so forth, make her an ideal talent seeker and recruiter for hell. Her overriding motive is dedication to Mundus and his goals, not out of personal adoration or sycophantic inclination, but as her duty. While possessed of intense pride in her faction, she is not proud herself, and rather self-effacing if anything.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:

Full Description

Not all demons scoff at elegance and ignore beauty. Beauty, of form and movement, is a central part of Gomory’s nature, and it is evident in her abilities. Yet, her most formidable power, Devil Trigger, foregoes the beauty of form and movement for the single absolute beauty: death. Unrecognizeable as female, let alone human, this demon form allows her to shrug off incoming damage as she regenerates at an absurd rate. Her attacks are empowered by virulent corruption, resembling paint but with wildly clashing colors, and what they don’t kill they will forever change.

Devil Trigger - Gomory unleashes the true demon of corruption within, and unsheathes her blade.

Style:
Moonlight Dance [Lvl 2]: with her blade, Gomory can manifest and manipulate shadowy lightwaves to attack from range or across great areas. Additionally, this light can explode from her body, and blind her enemies
Cherry Blossom Dance [Lvl 2]: cherry blossom petals fill the air as gravity forgets about Gomory. She has complete aerial domination with this style active, able to spin and slash hard a hurricane of petals and twist as fast.

Equipment:

FullDescription

Rather than unsheathing her intricate Tai Chi sword, Jiaolong, Gomory strikes with the sheathed blade and uses it as a catalyst for her demonic magic. So sharp is this legendary sword that it is capable of cutting things apart even while inside the sheath; this feat must be seen to be believed. It also serves as a bludgeon, and to channel blasts, arrows, and waves of multicolored magical paint for combat.

Jiaolong [Lvl 2] - a Chinese Tai Chi sword functionally similar to a katana, and a magic catalyst

Techniques:
Jiaolong
Decoupage - a lightning-fast flurry of blows with the sheathed Jiaolong that juggles the enemy
Crosshatching - Gomory lunges forward while spinning, executing first an upward left diagonal attack followed by a rotating downward left diagonal attack.
Marbling - a slam of the sheathed blade against the ground that quakes the ground and emits blasts of ink from the cracks
Pointalism - a series of quick stabs with the sheathed blade that launch arrows of paint as projectiles
Surrealism - after a moment, a pillar of paint appears beneath enemies, launching them upward after hurting them.
Abstractism - the sheathed blade channels a great quantity of paint that emerged in a giant glob. When Gomory wills it, this glob explodes outward into a myriad of shapes and spikes, hardening quickly.

Devil Trigger
Minimalism - after a brief wind up, Gomory performs a single, unremarkable slash with Jiaolong, which more often than note eviscerates the target in a single hit
Illusionism - Gomory crafts doppelgangers of herself out of corruption that attack on their own and explode upon death
Fauvism - corruption surges through Gomory’s left arm as she reaches out to grab. Once she’s caught a living thing, the demonic corruption surges in, and the victim is transformed into a demon. Stronger souls take longer to transform.

“Gideon Al’ Ghul”

Name: Geno Emmerich “Gideon Al’ Ghul”

Gender: Male

Age: 400 Years

Race: Half Demon

Faction: Hell

Personality: Geno is an ominous and unpredictable kind of person. As the son of a father demon, his looks also make him all the more threatening, with his blood-red hair, pale skin, and dark spiky clothing. While he may look simply cold and collected with his eyes marking your death, he’s also a sadistical one, often wanting to make your life a whole lot worse. He can kill you through various means and keep the face as emotionless as a rock. He shows little mercy or remorse when killing any opponents that stand in his path.

Despite such brutality in his nature, Geno does have a more human side to him. He is highly intelligent and can respect those whom he deems worthy, even with the Angels, while at the same time having the vengeful motive of killing said person. He’s usually a calm person and rarely does he get frustrated or genuinely angry. Usually this so called anger he emits is a form of intimidation towards his opponent, a fear factor. He is also of few words and despite being more of the anti-social type, one can still have a respectful chat with him.

On the battlefield, Geno is focuses solely on the battle at hand, usually following orders provided by his generals. Yet despite this, he will not hesitate to disobey orders if he has his own agenda to follow. His attacks are fast and swift, while producing blows that first weaken his foe up to the point where he comes in for the killing blow.

Bio: Very little is known about the man known as Genos Emmerich. What is known however was that he was born somewhere in Renaissance Italy, with a human mother and a demon father, which he claims is Lucifer. He was always an outcast as a child, teased by the other kids for his goth and barbaric looks, and was often bullied. For a while, both of his parents didn’t do anything, until he discovered the demon Lucifer, who claims to be the father of Genos. Sensing that Genos would be a fine specimen for a demon himself, the demon casted a spell upon the boy, infusing part of his own blood into Genos, turning him into a half-demon.

It was with this where he was able to last all the way up to the 21st century where he’s seldom seen. Yet any mortal eye that catches his movements were killed on sight, both quietly and utterly painfully. He currently is an important lieutenant to Mundas’ army and strives to continue building his power until he becomes the strongest demon in the world.

Kushiel - “Angel of Judgement”

Regular

In Battle

Name: Kushiel - “Angel of Judgement”

Gender: Male

Age: 2000+ Years

Race: Archangel

Faction: Heaven (Entirely)

Personality: Kushiel’s personality is often viewed as a calm soul, with a young and polished face of youth. He’s usually kind-hearted and friendly towards the other angels and humans alike. In addition, he’s also generous, caring, and often philosophical, questioning life, death, and the like. This can sometimes question his sexuality, for he sometimes falls or makes someone fall in love with the likes of himself. He usually prefers peace over war, often trying to repress any unwanted tension down, even if his opponent is a demon, through words, and happens to be a good negotiator. However, if all else fails, he won’t hesitate to punish those who aren’t unwilling to heel to his warning or those who threaten the entire world as we know it.

In his Iustum Iudicium “Righteous Judgement” form, Kushiel is driven by cold, calculative, logic and judgement, showing no mercy to those who happen to be the guiltiest of opponents. The Angel seems to feel no pain as he rushes and gives everything he has, ending it all with a literal bang. Those who are judged more innocently can be saved from most of this expense, while the guiltiest suffer the greatest of pains as they slowly burn into ashes by a beam of heavenly light.

Bio: Not much is known about Kushiel, the Angel Of Judgement. However, it’s been said that he used to have been just a mere angel working for Heaven’s Army of Light. Kushiel was always a kind-hearted angel, often helping out the weak and the innocent on his travels. In addition, he was also interested in philosophy, where he became enlightened by the acts of judgement. Not all people were born as sin, and those who had committed a sin, he suggests they be judged and punished accordingly. The lesser crimes can be let go with a harsh warning or a minor punishment, though those who had participated in larger schemes should be tortured substantially or even be killed. It isn’t often that he actually kills people, yet in the name of judgement, he will not hesitate to do so.

Millenias would pass by and soon Kushiel would be promoted to being a high-ranked Angel, given the title as “Angel Of Judgement” as well as a judge in court matters. In addition, he was given a replica of the legendary Spear of Longinus in which he uses in battle. This boost in popularity and rank, as well as his victories in battle, would even come to the attention from even the Angels from the Hierarchy of Laguna. The old general of Laguna had presented him with two gifts. They included infusing Kushiel’s arms with an artificial AT-Field, allowing him to block many melee and even some ranged attacks. The other was creating a core that was planted in the Angel’s heart, which if he were to “unlock” it, it would release his fullest potential and “awaken” a stronger power in which he can wield to a great effect. Currently, Kushiel operates in Heaven or on a mission provided either by the Army of Light or sometimes by Laguna.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:

• Divine Power - Being an Angel, Kushiel’s power is incredibly strong, being able to block and halt incoming attacks with his hands alone, thanks to his own artificial AT-Field, and even provide great feats of strength, such as lifting large beings with his Spear of Longinus. In addition, this physique allows him to be unable to age, remaining in his current form till his eventual death.
• Flight - Kushiel poceses four wings on his back, allowing him the power of flight. He can go up to the speed of sound thanks to angelic magic.
• Artificial AT-Field/Core - Created artificially by the Laguna Angels via respect and as a reward ordered by Uriel, Kushiel’s arms became infused with the components for an AT-Field. This allows him to block incoming melee and some ranged attacks with his bare hands and arms. His heart also becomes the core that powers the AT-Field as well as his strength and defense. However, the rest of his body does not share this trait. He is the only Angel in the Heaven of Light to receive this power.
• Awakening: By awakening his “Laguna” power, he is able to become much more powerful and gain several new abilities. These abilities include him issuing beams of light coming out from the sky or from nowhere, being able to severely damage his opponents. His regular attacks also become stronger and he can fly faster than the speed of sound.

Style:

• Sentinel Angelica - Defensus [Lvl1]: - In this form, Kushiel is on the defensive. This form of style mostly uses his bare arms to block most incoming attacks with his arms, along with his spear to keep distance between he and his opponent. He will often dodge most attacks, though he sometimes attempts to go in and make a few attacks. Yet this is to either tire out the opponent to make room for negotiations or as a way to study his opponent’s moves and mindset, to be on the watch for signs of a weakness.
• Sentinel Angelica - Graveolentiam [Lvl1] - In this form, Kushiel is on the offensive. Here he is quick to strike, using all of his force behind him to break and punish his opponent. He uses his spear to make aggressive jabs and swipes at his opponent, occasionally using his fists if the battle gets at close range. This style can be confused for a mode of rage at first, but the archangel has complete control and concentration, always making sure not to go too far and become vulnerable himself.
• Sentinel Angelica - Iustitia Iudicium [Lvl1]: - In this form, Kushiel acts solely on his logical instincts of righteous judgement. Here he awakens his full potential, particularly his powers given by the Laguna, and unleash everything he has at his opponent. Here his abilities gets enhanced and also allows him to cast upon a beam of light, which ultimately burns them alive. Some may get out with only the feeling of getting burned, while some would be roasted into ashes. All of this depends on Kushiel’s judgement of how guilty they are.

Equipment:

• Spear Of Longinus (Replica) - Also known as the Holy Lance, or the Spear Of Judgement, a miniature replica of the Spear Of Longinus was given to Kushiel for his brave and honorable work as an Angel, and is notably used for judgement upon foes. It also serves as an emergency tool if any of the Laguna Angels happen to go rogue or to neutralize demons with similar powers. Like the original Spear, it has a magical defense nullifier ability, allowing it to pierce through any shield, even through AT-Fields. It can also be called back to its owner via a special “telekinesis” power and be called upon to battle via a pocket dimension. Other than that, it acts like a regular spear. The original Spear’s location is unknown…
  
  Spear Of Longinus

  

Techniques:

Spear Of Longinus

• Power Thrust [Lvl 1]: Using a quick powerful strike, Kushiel can unleash a powerful thrust with his Spear, which can impale or at the very least push back the opponent with great force.
• Power Slash [Lvl 1]: Kushield issues a powerful swipe at his opponent, causing a substantial amount of damage towards the opponent.
• Throw Of Judgement [Lvl 1]: With a good aim and a clear shot, Kushiel can throw his Spear from a great distance as it flies towards its target at surprising speeds, being able to pierce his opponent or trap it in between the tips. It can pierce through decently strong shields, including any AT-Field.

Melee

• AT-Fist [Lvl 1]: By providing most of his AT-Field to his fists, Kushiel is able to increase his melee attack power by a substantial amount.
• AT-Blast [Lvl 1]: By providing most of his AT-Field to his fists, Kushiel is able to unleash a mild shock wave that can shove his opponents back a few meters, as well as stunning them for a second or two.

Awakening:

• Divine Judgement [Lvl 1]: As his signature and his most powerful move, Kushiel can summon a beam of light on an immobile opponent and cast a beam of light from the sky that crashes into it. It’ll burn the opponent alive, producing many second to third degree burns, and has the ability to kill, based on the sins that his opponent has done.
• Flaming Holy Spear [Lvl 1]: Kushiel can issue his AT-Field power into his spear, making it extremely hot at the blades of the spear. It can cause agonizing pain towards the opponent and can melt through weaker shields almost effortlessly.

Non-Playable Characters/Bosses

Zeruel - Arm of God

Sarcophagus Mode

Default Mode

Name: Zeruel; “Angel Of Might”, “Arm Of God”

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown; Thousands of Years

Race: Angel

Appearance: Zeruel, the Angel of Might, the Arm of God, is one monster of an angel, reaching up to 60 meters tall in his Sarcophagus Mode, and 80 meters in Default Mode, being taller than the already titanic Temperantia. His black tendrils may look paper-thin, but they can easily slice limbs from even the biggest and strongest of demons. When threatened, his hollow eye-sockets light up as two yellow circles show his anger and disapproval against his opponents, with their demise indeed iminate.

Faction: Heaven - Leader of the Hierarchy Of Laguna

Personality: Zeruel’s presence is both ominous yet strangely holy. As the new head leader of the Hierarchy Of Laguna, he shows major pride and authority as he commands his forces under Uriel’s name. His very presence alone can silence even the most talkative of both Angels and Demons, looking up at awe at his presence. He also has a sour taste for humans and humanity in general, often regarding them as “pathetic creatures” and “Lilim garbage”, hence why he doesn’t care in “accidentally” killing them, calling it “necessary sacrifices”. In addition, he is known to be a boaster, often telling how he and Heaven are great and how they wield such almighty power. His boast goes something like this:

The Boast Of Zeruel

I AM.
THROUGH LICENSE OF HE WHO IS NAMED "I AM" I HAVE COME. THOUGH MY FEET SHALL DRAG UPON THIS BASE EARTH, I HAVE COME. I AM THE SECOND TO FATHER. INHERITOR OF HIS BOUNDLESS RAGE. YOU HAVE EXISTED SO FAR AT MY PLEASURE AND PATIENCE, AND THAT, AS HAVE YOUR WORKS OF CIVILIZATION, SHALL NOW COME TO AN END. I AM THE GREATEST OF THE MESSENGERS, MOUNTAIN OF THEIR STRENGTH. CITIES SHALL FALL UPON MY PASSING. SONGS SHALL BE SUNG OF WHAT IS LEFT IN MY WAKE. I AM THE ARM OF GOD. ANGEL OF MIGHT. I AM ZERUEL. I HAVE COME.

Bio: After Jubileus’s defeat at the hands of the Umbra Witch, Bayonetta, the Hierarchy Of Laguna was left without a leader. As a result, for a time there was chaos, with the angels arguing and fighting on who will retake the mantle as its new leader. It was a long and sometimes bloody fight, with nobody gaining the upper hand on rank. It would be the arrival of a certain Angel that would finally bring an end to this childish argument and restore the peace in the Hierarchy. As one of the most powerful and arguably the most loyal to Heaven’s cause, the Angel known as the Arm of God, Zeruel, rose amongst the others and declared himself as the new leader of the Hierarchy Of Laguna.

While it was only recently that he was approved of this title, Zeruel has already gained a heavy amount of respect and loyalty from the other Angels throughout the Hierarchy. While many support him, some Angels thought that he was an unworthy choice and attempted to get rid of him and have him replaced. They even called upon some humans to help them with the task. So two weeks into the Angel of Might’s leadership, they attempted to assassinate him, using everything they got to make sure they succeed. Unfortunately for them, Zeruel was able to easily make work of this“alliance, despite them putting up a valiant fight. With the realization that the humans were involved with this failed attempt, his feelings towards them became hostile, thus personally declaring them as threats to his rule, which even resulted in turning some loyal Angels away from helping or supporting the humans completely.

Ever since that failed assassination attempt on his rule, no one in the Laguna’s rank have dared to defy the might and authority of the Arm of God, all knowing fully well of the consequences of doing so. In addition, he occasionally shows up on the battlefield, fully demolishing any demon scum in his path, as well as any harmless, unexpecting, humans in the process.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:

• Size: Zeruel’s size is massive, reaching up to the height of at least 18 - 24 stories all (60 - 80 meters), making himself a giant and utterly ominous foe on the battlefield.
• Flight: Like many Angels in the Hierarchy, Zeruel has the ability to fly and levitate above the ground.
• Angelic Power: Like all Angels. Zeruel possesses an incredibly display of power, especially when it comes from the Arm of God. One swipe of his tendril can knock down an entire skyscraper and one jab can slice a divine limb, Demon or Angel. Despite him looking slow at first glance, Zeruel is surprisingly fast when it comes to wielding his tendrils or even moving himself, or often propelling him forward with said tendrils to get up close and personal towards his opponents. His defense is also comprised of highly powerful AT-Fields (Absolute Terror Fields) that allow him to be almost impenetrable, even making him unscaved to even the most powerful of conventional and nuclear bombs.

Style:

• Arms Of God: [Lvl3]: - Zeruel’s style is based on a good defense, being a good offense. His tendrils do good work in representing that mind set. With up to six - eight arms in use, he can multitask on attack his foes with great power, speed, and strategy, while also protecting his core as a second line of defense, if the AT-Shields failed to help, all making an incredibly deadly combination.

---

Modes

• Sarcophagus Mode [Lvl2]: - In this mode, Zeruel retracts his arms and makes what may resemble that of a sarcophagus. This is supposed to be for long distance travel, hence his speed has increased by 50%, but his attacks are limited to ramming, and his defenses are down by 75%, making him very vulnerable in this stage. However, he can quickly and easily get out of this stage if needed.
• Default Mode [Lvl3]: - As Zeruel’s prefered and ultimately his default form, Zeruel reveals his tendrils as he has a better range of powerful attacks, great defense, though his speed has been reduced back to normal (though he’s still pretty fast regardless).

---

Techniques:

Sarcophagus Mode

• Power Slam: Using his amplified speed, Zeruel’s only attack is to body slam into his opponents, catching them off-guard and issuing a knockback effect.
• AT-Field: AT-Field (or Absolute Terror Field) is a power shield mechanic that is used as the primary source of defense, being very hard to breakthrough. But with Zeruel’s defense levels at minimum in this form, they can be broken easier so he doesn’t fully rely on them.

Default Mode

Arms

• Punch: Tendrils come smashing into the opponent’s body, which can issue a powerful knockback effect and be used repeatedly in a combo effect. (Combo Varies)
• Cannon: Retracting four tendrils back into itself, they combine into two missile-shaped arms, and fire with a range of several kilometers, which can rip limbs off an opponent if hit and can also ultimately decapitate them. If hit dead-center, it can punch a hole right through them or at the very least, issue a heavy knockback effect. (1 - 2 Combo)
  
  In Action

  
• Grapple: Unleashing four tendrils at his desired target, once they grab the object, it suddenly jerks and pulls Zeruel with incredible speed at the target, which he rams the opponent head on. It can grip onto most shields shields and ultimately break them.
  
  In Action

  

Misc

• Eye Beams: Zeruel is able to unleash a devastating eye beam, that when shines, it threatens to hit the opponent with a large explosion, which varies on how much power he uses. (1 - 2 Combo)
  
  In Action (At Its Full Potential; Weaker Otherwise)

  
• AT-Field Ray: Zeruel's AT-Fields at this point are more powerful than his previous form, allowing him for better defense. He can concentrate his power and attention to one of his six sides (North, South, East, West, Up, and Down) to issue a shield way that bounces off most projectiles and beams. However, the strength of the shield layer decreases the farther away the ray is, but gets stronger the closer the layer is to Zeruel. In addition, the sides that are not being attended will weaken until Zeruel is finished unleashing his shield ray. It has a maximum range of half a mile.
  
  In Action

  
• Ribcage: If both his AT-Fields and arms fail in stopping his opponents, its final defense is to close the rib-like structure on his chest, closing his core off from the attack. However, this can still be broken provided one hits it with enough devastating force.
  
  In Action

  
• Angelic Creation: Zeruel also happens to wield the power on Angelic Creation, in which he can create miniature versions of either himself or other weaker Laguna angels and archangels, including: Sachiel, Shamshel, Ramiel, Gaghiel, Israfel, Sandalphon, Matarael, Bardiel, Zeruel himself, Arael, Tabris, and others of Laguna’s ranks.

Weakness: Zeruel may look unstoppable, but there is one thing one must destroy in order to defeat the Angel Of Might. In the center of his chest, lies a red orb which is his core. If one is able to destroy it, it will kill the Angel, resulting in an explosion in the shape of a cross. However, his defenses usually keep it from getting stabbed or shot, but if one studies him, they can pull out a few weaknesses. When he issues his AT-Field ray in a certain direction, it brings all of his power to that ray, leaving the sides unchecked and are weakened substantially, which can allow the opponent to exploit them. The ribcages that serve as the last line of defense can block missiles and bombs from entering, but are capable of breaking if one strong slash or energy beam slices it apart, revealing the core to be broken (though it’ll be difficult none of the less).

Only two things can break through his AT-Field. One should either have another AT-Field itself to negate the defense, or weapon-wise, the Spear of Longinus, which is able to pierce through his AT-Field without any effort.

The Wrath Of Zeruel

Doom

Name: Doom Slayer; Doom Marine; “Doomguy”; “Doom”

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown; Looks to be in mid-30s

Race: Human

Appearance: Doom Slayer is 6’3” with the Praetor suit on, which is mostly dark green, silver and brown in color, with slightly lighter legs and helmet. Without it, he stands at 6’1”, while indeed being quite muscular. He has a well-defined face, with brown eyes and light-brown hair in a buzzcut.

Faction: Regila Hunter

Personality: Doom is a man of action, being both tough and fearless in the blackest of situations. While being an imposing man towards anyone in his sights, he can be extremely ruthless towards his enemies, especially if they happen to be demons. He can literally rip them apart with his bare hands, tear apart corpses with total disregard in order to gain access to wherever he pleases, and seems to relish in the destruction of everything that moves around him. Of course, he isn’t entirely a ruthless killer. He also has a sense of honor and caring towards mankind as a whole, wanting to protect them from harm. In fact, he refuses to fire on civilians. All in all, Doom Slayer will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if he has to murder an entire army of demons to get to it.

Bio: The Doom Slayer’s history has been debated by many for years. Some say he was just a mercenary trying to get by via contraband weapons, selling them to the black market, and gaining profit. Some say he was a progeny from Hell itself. And some say he’s just a powerful Space Marine who is simply mad at the world itself. While these theories may sound completely opposite from one another, all are in fact true in one way or another. The only thing we don’t have… is his name.

Originally, Doom was simply a space marine working for the military and the United Aerospace Corporation (UAC). While working on Earth, he assaulted on a superior officer who ordered him to fire upon innocent civilians. This was an act, that while noble towards humanity, the military was rather displeased at his actions. As punishment, they sent the marine to Mars to work directly for the UAC, which was also convenient since one of their marines had recently been lost in an operation. For years, he had been working at the UAC base, where they began performing secret experiments on interdimensional travel.

Unfortunately, something went wrong with the dimensional portal, and out came hordes upon hordes of demons, which overran the facility. Doom was then tasked to eliminate all of the demons in the base and stop the invasion by closing the portal in Hell. Long story short, he did, but then found himself trapped in Hell itself. Doom then accepts his fate and gets captured by the demons, who ultimately sealed him in a tomb.

Decades later, he was found yet again by the UAC again and was experimented on. Once again, the cycle continued, with the demons invading the facility. Doom by that time had had it with those fiends and simply wanted to return back to Earth. Before heading back however, he destroyed the facility’s advanced energy resource production, Argent Energy, while also smuggling some high-tech weapons out of the facility via a portal. He retreats and finds himself back on Earth… only to find out that even it was experiencing its own supernatural war.

Doom wasn’t out of war just yet. He tried to force himself to pick a side in the war, eventually working alone for humanity. However, he was able to find several comrades who allied with him, and he eventually made a secret Black Market weapons shop. He sells these weapons to various human companies and corporations on fighting against the supernatural forces, which what he continues to do to this day.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:

• Enhanced Durability: Doom is extremely durable, trained well beyond the limits of a regular human. He is able to fall from incredible heights without getting hurt, up to 40 stories high, and take brutal punishment from almost any type of weather condition imaginable, including when under fire.
• Enhanced Stamina: Doom can run for several miles without breaking a sweat, while also being twice as fast than a regular human. He can also carry a large supply of rockets and other ammunition without being weighed down.
• Enhanced Strength: Doom’s strength has him able to rip and tear his enemies apart with his own bare hands, thanks to the Praetor suit.

Styles:

• Walking Armory [Lvl1]: With all the weapons that he carries and how quickly he can switch from weapon to weapon, Doom’s pretty much what one expects - a walking armory. In addition, his proficiency with these weapons allow him to use them at their maximum capacity and usage, and with a ton of amno at his disposal, he can keep it up for a long while.
• Rip and Tear [Lvl 1]: This style is also known as Slayer’s Adrenaline Rush (S.A.R), in which he goes on the brutal offensive. His power increases (thanks to the Berserk or Invulnerability power ups or simply during desperate times) and charges head first into the enemy. It may sound much like a suicide mission, but Doom doesn’t care. Weather it’s to save his allies or get what he wants, he’ll do anything to achieve his goals, even if his life is on the line.

Equipment:

• Praetor Suit [Lvl1]: The Praetor Suit is a technologically advanced suit of armor, which is mostly dark green, silver and brown in color, with slightly lighter legs and helmet. In addition to this, the Praetor Suit also has a complex visor and internal systems which allows Doomguy to travel to Hell and return again unharmed. The suit is described as being made from nearly impenetrable material, which is especially useful against even the harshest of environments, and may be responsible for what appears to be the Doom Marine's superhuman abilities.
• Various Weapons: Doom Slayer’s knowledge in weapons makes him capable of using them to their maximum proficiency. From small armed pistols, to the heavy launchers, there is almost no weapon that he can’t master. He can even upgrade some of his guns to make them more efficient (max level = 4) Below, are just some of the weapons he’s known to use, plus their modifiers:
  
  • Plasma Pistol [Lvl1]: This weapon fires an unlimited amount of energy beams, and can be charged up for more damage, however it’s otherwise very weak. Used only if all other weapons have ran out of ammo or in a quick pinch.
  • Combat Shotgun [Lvl1]: This weapon is a staple of Doom’s arsenal and is often seen carried by him. It can be modified to make it issue a Charged Shot (a three-round burst with a tighter spread) or an Explosive Shot (an explosive shot with splash damage). (Doom calls her Jessica)
  • Super Shotgun [Lvl1]: This weapon looks like a traditional style double barreled, break action shotgun, which holds two shots at a time. It’s more powerful than the combat shotgun, with incomparable destructive power at extremely close range, but is completely ineffective at long range. This is also another weapon that is commonly seen being held by Doom (whom he names Veronica).
  • Heavy Assault Rifle [Lvl1]: This belt-fed machine gun uses .50 caliber FMJ rounds to completely rittle the opponent to pieces. It can also be modified to fire micro-missiles and/or have a Tactical Scope (allows the user to zoom in on unsuspecting targets).
  • Chaingun [Lvl1]: This weapon is simply a minigun with six rotating barrels that give it a very high rate of fire, making it very useful when fighting numerous and strong enemies. It can be modified via Gatling Rotator (which allows the weapon to be pre-spun without firing, allowing it to be then fired without delay) or as a Mobile Turret (which breaks open into a three-barreled rotary gun, with no wind-up time and triple the damage, but can be overheated),
  • Rocket Launcher [Lvl1]: This weapon is what the name suggests, a powerful rocket launcher. It can be modified via Lock-On Burst (which allows the launcher to lock onto a target and fire three rounds of rockets) or Remote Detonation (which allows Doom to explode rockets in mid-air)
  • Plasma Rifle [Lvl1]: This weapon is an assault rifle that fires bursts of blue plasma. It can be modified to add a Heat Blast (which builds a meter that charges a powerful blast, which can be fired) or Stun Bomb (which fires a stun bomb that staggers enemies caught within the explosion radius)
  • Gauss Cannon [Lvl1]: This is a powerful and incredibly accurate weapon that fires steel flechettes (metal spikes) at extremely high velocities using a magnetized chamber. It’s known to one-shot most enemies, though some larger enemies require more shots to kill them. It can be modified to add a Precision Bolt (which if charged, can charge a small but powerful zoomed-in shot) or Siege Mode (which can be charged for a wide and powerful penetrating shot, but restricting movement when charging)
  • Chainsaw [Lvl1]: This is used as Doom’s primary melee weapon, in which it can slice through most enemies like butter.
  • Frag Grenade [Lvl1]: A simple Fragment Grenade, able to do decent damage against enemies.
  • Medical Kits [Lvl1]: Doom always has several med-kits onboard with him, in case he needs to heal himself in the field of battle. They can either replenish between 25% to 75% of his health. He can have between 2 - 10 med-kits stored per battle.
• Power-Ups [Lvl 1]: Doom can carry up to three orbs of Power-ups within his stash and can use them in battle. Each grants him an enhanced ability that helps him in battle for up to ten seconds. These power ups include; Quad-damage (boosts damage from his weapons by 4x for 5 secs), Invisibility (render himself invisible and undetectable for 10 secs), Regeneration (able to regen health slowly for ), Haste (speed increases by 2x for 10 seconds), Berserk (strength intensifies, able to rip opponents with his hands much more efficiently for 10 seconds) and Invulnerability (impervious to damage for up to 3 seconds)

Techniques:

• Take-Down: Often used as to restrain unwanted guests that come into his store, Doom quickly issues a self-defense move that allows him to disarm his opponent, cross its arms, and put it on the ground, much like how a typical police officer would do.
• Shoulder Barge: Utilizing all of his might and speed, he’ll charge at his opponent with his shoulder in front, mowing down anyone that gets in his way. (Maximized damage comes from being Berserk or using Haste power-ups)
• Power-Shockwave: In Berserk Mode, Doom can punch the ground and issue a shockwave that can push nearby enemies away from him.

Personality: Silas can come across as naive and childish due to his unrelenting optimism, even in the face of the worst adversities. Despite this demeanor, he is not one to be trifled with- Silas is driven, perhaps to a fault, to succeed in whatever goals he sets for himself, and he has the tactical and analytical mind to achieve almost anything he sets his mind to. While he prefers diplomacy and communication over combat, that’s not to say he isn’t good at it- when pushed, Silas is relentless in battle, flanking, feinting, and forcing his opponents further and further into the snare of his strategic expertise.

Bio

Bio:

“My friends have always been there, for as long as I can remember.”

---

Silas was born in Germany in the early 19th century, and had a fairly standard childhood growing up, with one exception- his “friends.” Even from a young age, Silas could see and converse with angelic beings that no one else could see. They called themselves by lots of interesting names- Applaud, Fearless, Beloved- and came in all different shapes and sizes. His family and “real” friends all tried to convince him that such things were in his head, a product of his overactive imagination, but Silas had seen the angels do things to the real world- move objects, leave marks of their passing, and the like. He knew they were real- he just didn’t understand why no one else could tell that they were.

Over time, Silas’ rapport with his “friends” grew ever stronger- some were even fitting of their name, being intensely loyal and protective of him. Two in particular, a Fearless and Fairness, grew very close, almost never leaving his side. Some were trickier to converse with than others, but in the end, his friends would almost always listen to him.

As he was not shy about speaking of his “friends,” Silas became an outcast amongst his peers, who believed him delusional. Were it not for the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Silas might have even believed he was. He didn’t care, either way- he preferred the company of angels to people, anyway. At the age of 18, however, Silas was approached by a strange man in gold and white garb. He believed in Silas’ friends as well, even claimed that he could see them, too. He claimed that Silas had power- power that even the man, as knowledgeable as he seemed, could only guess at. Power that the man claimed he could help Silas unlock, if he would only come with him. Intrigued, Silas took the man’s offer.

In that moment, Silas’ life had now changed forever. The man, named Father Roderick, guided Silas on the path of becoming a Lumen Sage, teaching him to use his gifts to protect and serve the interests of the society. He learned of reaching across the veil, and calling his friends to his side, wherever he may be. He learned powers of magic, of commanding weapons and tools, even power over time itself. He was told of a great war that had nearly driven people like himself and Roderick extinct, destroying the powers of light forever, and how grateful Roderick was to have found him.

Over time, Roderick gathered others like themselves- those who answered the call of Heaven, who wielded the might of Laguna, and conversed with its denizens- until where once there was merely two, there were now dozens. Roderick claimed that the time had come once again, for them to step once more into the light, and take hold of the destiny that the Sages had held once before.

And so, Silas, alongside Father Roderick, helps to lead his order into the new world, their champion of light against a world filled with darkness.

Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities:

• Alpha Wolf- Silas Wolfram lives up to his namesake well- Silas has an unusual degree of affinity with the beings of the Hierarchy of Laguna, even amongst his fellow Lumen Sages, giving him a greater degree of control over and capability to communicate with them.
• Kazfiel and Sraosha- A Fairness and Fearless, respectively, who are always by Silas' side, they serve as scouts, weapons, and companions all at once. Being Laguna, they are typically invisible to anyone who cannot access Purgatorio, or otherwise sense them naturally.
• Illumination- Like all Lumen Sages, Silas draws his powers from the sun and light, and grows stronger and healthier the more light- especially natural sunlight- is in the area, though he can still be formidable without it.
• Firebrand Trigger- A power gifted to Silas by the Charred Council, Silas pulls forth his rage and determination to transform his body into a form of magma and volcanic rock, increasing his strength and durability for the duration of the transformation. While this form is strong already, it seems to possess yet-untapped potential, waiting to be discovered...

Styles

Styles:

• Three Ring Circus [LV1]- A slow but devastating style, Silas calls upon his angelic familiars to rend the opposition. At the most basic level, Silas can call upon his two “hounds”- Kazfiel and Sraosha- in battle, as well as other Third and Second Sphere angels.
  
  • LV2- Silas can call more powerful angels into battle, even up to and including First Sphere angels. Kazfiel and Sraosha are inspired to even greater power by Silas’ mastery.
  • LV3- Not even the Cardinal Virtues can resist Silas’ call- at level 3, he can call forth the limbs, powers, and even full forms of the Sequi and even Auditio themselves, for a time.

• Sword Juggler [LV1]- Silas commands the facets of his weapon, Pleiades, with his will alone, sending flying blades careening at the opposition from any angle. At the most basic level, Silas can command Pleiades in its basic form and move with deft quickness, even in midair.
  
  • LV2- Silas can alter the physical properties of Pleiades’ facets, including their size, granting him greater mobility through having him actually ride and dance along his oversized blades.
  • LV3- Silas can split Pleiades into yet more blades and fragments, assaulting the opposition with an unstoppable storm of metal. In addition, Silas can now fly under his own power.

Equipment

Equipment:

• Pleiades [LV1]- Seven golden swords that Silas can materialize and telekinetically control at will, the blades were forged by Silas himself, binding him to them, and preventing them from being moved under any power but his own. Pleiades’ blades are all part of a singular weapon and purpose- to use one without the others is impossible.
  
  • LV2- Gains access to more powerful attacks, and can materialize the blades from almost anywhere.
  • LV3- Silas can imbue the weapon with his divine powers, allowing the blades to take on a variety of elemental properties.

• Polaris [LV1]- A revolver that fires shards of eldritch energy at foes, rather than bullets.
  
  • LV2- With a charged shot, Polaris can fire a large sword made of eldritch energy at foes, dealing far more damage than a normal, uncharged shot.
  • LV3- Polaris' shots now pierce whatever they strike, before exploding with great force after a brief delay.

Techniques

Techniques:

• Basic Powers
  
  • Applause!- Silas briefly conjures angelic wings in order to right and readjust himself in the air as a recovery move
  • Light Speed- Silas can slow time to a crawl in an area around him for a short period before being struck, allowing him to counter his enemies with ease.
  • Beast Within- A Lumen Sage can change their body’s shape into that of any number of animals. Relatively inexperienced, and with his skills focused elsewhere, Silas has access only to the Wolf Within form, which rapidly increases his movement speed.

• Three Ring Circus
  
  • Lion Tamer- Kazfiel and Sraosha charge the enemy in a cross formation, tearing through them.
  • Tug o’ War- Kazfiel and Sraosha catch the enemy in their jaws, rending smaller enemies to pieces and encumbering larger opponents.
  • World’s Strongest Man- Silas summons the form of a Beloved to launch an enemy into the air with a titanic blow.

• Sword Juggler
  
  • Knife Thrower- Silas fires the blades of Pleiades at the enemy in succession.
  • Dervish Dance- Silas dashes at the enemy while rapidly spinning Pleiades’ blades in a circle around him, slashing at the enemy
  • Golden Banner- Silas strikes with sweeping blows using all of Pleiades’ blades in an arc.

Father Roderick

[Character]

Name: Father Andrew Roderick
Gender: Male
Age: 600+
Race: Human

Appearance: In a word, big. Father Roderick is a towering man, almost seven feet tall, broad-shouldered, barrel chested, and generally physically imposing in all ways. He has a distinguished look about him, square jawed with short, dark grey hair and neatly-trimmed beard framing cold blue eyes. He’s usually dressed in white suits, when wearing the traditional Lumen garb would be conspicuous.

Faction: Lumen Sages

Personality: Strong-willed, determined, zealous- all of these are words used to describe Father Roderick. A strong leader, he cares deeply for the Sages who work alongside him, as a father cares for his children. While he generally gives off a calm, caring demeanor, there is a fire underneath the surface- an unquenchable will to achieve his goals, no matter the cost. Beware, all who come between this man and his goals- either stand with him, or be swept aside.

Bio: Before the Clan Wars, Roderick was just like any other Lumen Sage- a peaceful servant of the balance between light and dark, Lumen and Umbra. A bit zealous, perhaps. Maybe even dangerously so, sometimes. But he was happy in his assumed role. Happy to be a soldier, for the sake of humanity.

And then came the great betrayals, one right after the other. The Clan Wars, in which so many of his fellow Sages perished. The Witch Hunts, in which the daughters of darkness died in such great numbers. All of the death and destruction, in which more and more of the magic of the world was taken away. Roderick witnessed it all, breaking a little more with every death, with every bit of wonder that left the world forever.

He wandered for a long time after the Wars, believing himself to be the only one left of his kind, aside from the Exile. He spent much of his time hiding, trying to avoid the gaze of Father Balder, desperate to preserve some of the history of how the world once was. He was convinced it was how he would spend the rest of his existence- nothing but scrambling and hiding and running for cover at the first sign of danger.

All of this changed when he met Silas Wolfram- a boy with powers like his own, like that of all Lumen Sages. And a little more magic came back into the world. Once more, Roderick’s life had purpose again. And he would put that purpose to good use. He would find more, more like them, more with their powers and abilities. He would revive the old contracts, the old codes. He would return the world to how it once was. Perhaps even make it better.

He would be a soldier for Heaven once again. No matter what it took.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities:

• Immaculate Being- Father Roderick has considerable control over divine energy, even being able to reinforce his own body with such powers, to an extent that most Lumen can only dream of achieving.
• Illumination- Like all Lumen Sages, Roderick draws his powers from the sun and light, and grows stronger and healthier the more light- especially natural sunlight- is in the area, though he can still be formidable without it.
• Beast Within- A Lumen Sage can change their body’s shape into that of any number of animals, for the purposes of traversal or infiltration, in some cases. Roderick can take the form of a wolf, an eagle, and other such shapes for various purposes.

Style

Style:

• Arcturus [LV3]- Channeling divine power into his body, Father Roderick reinforces his physical attributes, giving his blows the strength to crush any who oppose the Lumen cause. At this level, Roderick becomes an avatar of divine wrath, surrounded by a corona of holy flame that burns all who approach. He moves faster than the eye can follow, his strength can shake the very earth, and he is nigh impregnable to any assault on his person.

Equipment

Equipment:

• The Gauntlets [LV3]- while the name of these weapons are somewhat of a misnomer, no one can deny their effectiveness. A pair of white gloves, inscribed with golden Laguna runes on the palms, these act as foci for Roderick’s considerable stores of divine energy, allowing him to direct and harness his powers as he sees fit. At this level, the Gauntlets can shape divine energy into constructs such as weapons, granting him further versatility in battle. In particularly heated moments, the Gauntlets can take on the form of their namesake, cloaking Roderick’s arms in golden armor and further increasing his already significant powers.

Techniques

Techniques:

• Basic Powers
  
  • Steadfast- Roderick is nearly implacable by any means of force- while he still takes damage, he is almost impossible to move beyond the most dramatic of impacts.
  • Light Speed- Roderick can slow time to a crawl in an area around him for a short period before being struck, allowing him to counter his enemies with ease.

• Arcturus
  
  • Comet- A dashing punch, infused with divine light. Has incredible horizontal speed and range.
  • Meteor Shower- Roderick reinforces his hands with divine energy before launching a series of three heavy strikes. Generally used just after Comet.
  • Orion- A titanic uppercut that launches the opponent
  • Aurora Borealis [LV2]- A focused beam of divine destruction fired from Roderick’s hands, that can be fired in any direction. At level 2, Roderick can charge this technique to fire a continuous, directed beam for a few seconds.
  • Nebula- Roderick stomps the ground, raising a wave of divine fire in a small area around him.

• The Gauntlets
  
  • Cygnus- A finishing move where Roderick forms a greatsword out of divine light, then smashes it down on the opponent.
  • Septentriones- Roderick forms explosive orbs of light that slowly home in on the opponent and detonate on them.

[Lazo]

Fenn

Theme Song: Iron

Name: Fenn ("Chained Hound")
Gender: Male
Age: He lost track in the arena, and that was centuries ago.
Race: Demon (Hellhound)

Appearance: Fenn’s species hails from the hotter, fiery areas of the underworld, and bears a striking physical resemblance to the Stalkers native to the Forge Lands, with a large torso, broad shoulders, and long, thick arms with four-fingered hands ending in razor sharp claws. Their lower bodies tend to be smaller, with a thinner waist, comparatively sleek and short back legs, and a reptilian tail. As with Stalkers, most of their bodies are covered in hardened scales that armor the beasts against most kinds of cutting weapons.

This is where the similarities end, however. Unlike with Stalkers, fur covers their forearms, lower legs, and upper head and back, forming a kind of mane. Moreover, their heads have a distinct canine look, with an elongated muzzle, short, triangular ears, and maws full of sharp teeth.

Fenn is a particularly large specimen, near doubling the height of most humans when on all fours and easily tripling it when standing upright. His body is covered in dull, soot-colored scales and black fur. His amber, slitted eyes have a sharp, cunning gleam belied by his bestial appearance. Several scars crisscross his whole body, clearly visible among his fur and scales by their whitish coloration.

The only thing in terms of clothing or adornment worn by Fenn are two sets of thick, heavy chains stemming from manacles on his wrists. The lengths of chain are typically wrapped around his forearms.

Faction: Currently unaffiliated.

Personality: While at first glance Fenn seems like little more than a mindless beast, he is perfectly capable of speech, and possesses an intellect on par with most sapient creatures of the three realms.

Like many demons, Fenn has long resigned himself to the idea that might makes right in all worlds, but has lived long enough to reach the contradicting conclusion that one day any who chooses to wield such power will be crushed under its weight.

This has left Fenn with an ill-tempered, sardonic demeanor that seems to be characterized by three moods: Boredom, varying degrees of anger and irritation, and a form of caustic amusement levelled at anything and everything around him like a burr’s thorns.

Nonetheless, he derives much enjoyment from combat, and sees it as his sole reason for being. It is the one thing he can fully devote himself to.

Fenn tends to be distrustful of most other beings. He shares other demons’ dislike of heaven’s forces, seeing them as uptight, self-righteous, hypocritical bastards, sees many demons as deceitful cowards, and considers humanity to be largely inconsequential, their lifespans too short for them to amount to anything. One of the few ways of earning his respect is to stand up to him in battle.

Bio: Tribes of Hellhounds typically choose their leader through trials in combat meant to find the finest warrior among them. Once such a warrior is chosen, challenges can be issued forth by other warriors in the tribe to contest this position if they believed such a one to be unworthy. Should a leader turn away from such a challenge, tradition dictated they would be killed on the spot as a matter of honor.

In his younger days, this is how Fenn rose to become his tribe’s leader, slaying his predecessor and slaughtering all that tried to contest his rule. Under his leadership, other tribes were eradicated or absorbed into theirs, their borders within the realm were settled for the first time, and his tribe saw a kind of prosperity and growth that had been previously unheard of.

All in all, a land ripe for rebellion.

Once the tribes had been unified, many of the younger warriors sought to expand into other territories of the underworld, fighting the demons there. Such was the warlike nature of their culture. Up until then, this incessant battle had been confined to spats between the tribes, but now the warriors found themselves without an enemy. Fenn refused to send them out, however, completely preoccupied with consolidating his power among the remaining tribes.

It was then that a nascent Demon Lord approached some of the younger warriors with a proposition. Should the Hellhound tribes become a part of his army, they would gain power, see riches as never before, and would never run out of enemies. The young warriors brought this proposition to Fenn, but at the time he was proud and ambitious, and failed to recognize the dissatisfaction spreading amongst his followers. He refused to fight under someone else’s banner.

Angered by this rejection, the finest warriors under his command gathered in secret, and made the choice to depose him. However, many had seen their leader fight, and none of them thought to be his equal, so they sought the help of the Demon Lord. Amused by their desire to join him, the Lord acquiesced to their request, and granted them a debilitating poison, with the instructions that they should mix it into Fenn’s food, and the condition that, once he was defeated, he was brought to him alive.

The warriors agreed, and poisoned their leader. The following day, the strongest among them issued forth a challenge. Weakened by the poison, Fenn was brought low by the chosen warrior, and brought forth to the Demon Lord.

As punishment for denying him, the Demon Lord sentenced Fenn to fighting for his amusement, and was pitted against various other criminals and dissenters in that realm in an arena built at the Demon Lord’s castle.

Meanwhile, the Hellhound tribes came into the Demon Lord’s service to work as the front lines of his forces.

In time, the Demon Lord fell, defeated by other demons and their own armies, and Fenn managed his escape. He found that, in the time of his imprisonment, the Hellhound tribes had suffered horrible loses and became fractured. With no Demon Lord to battle under, they had turned against each other again, the tribes brought even lower than the depths from which he had lifted them.

Fenn was disgusted by this, and chose to wash his hands off the whole mess. Vengeance meant little at that point. He had learned that the ones who had betrayed him had long since died in battle, and the Demon Lord had his head stuck in a pike clearly visible from the castle’s entrance. Instead, he became the demonic equivalent of a mercenary, uncaring of his employers’ aims as long as he was allowed to fight.

In time, he came into the service of several other Demons and monsters seeking to assert dominion in whatever areas of hell were not under the direct control of Mundus or Sheba. So far, he has managed to outlive all of his masters.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:
-Physical strength: Fenn is strong even among others of his kind, capable of lifting beings and objects that far surpass him in size.
-Keen senses: Fenn’s sense of smell and hearing are like those of a predator, able to pick up and distinguish the quietest of noises and of tracking subtle scents when focused.
-Armored skin: The scales that cover a Hellhound’s body are hard as armor, and can easily deflect all but the sharpest of blades. This defense can be circumvented by attacking exposed areas such as articulations or his throat. Crushing weapons tend to have better results in general.
-Fire Manipulation: All Hellhounds are born with the ability to create fire and manipulate it to some extent. When agitated, or when making direct use of this power, Fenn’s fur turns into wreathing, orange flames. As one may surmise, Hellhounds themselves are completely impervious to all but the strongest infernos.
-Devil Trigger: Fire completely envelops Fenn’s body, making it difficult for enemies to approach him. As an expression of a Hellhound’s spirit and power, this cloak also serves to revitalize him, healing wounds and increasing his speed and strength. It also serves as a shield against magical (or otherwise not entirely physical) threats, dampening their effects or blocking them out entirely should they be weak enough.

Style:
Roaring Furnace [Lvl-1]: There are few things more terrifying than a giant, angry werewolf-dragon-monster bearing down on you while it’s on fire. Fenn’s preferred fighting style can be most easily described as relying on overwhelming force. A battle-lust descends upon him and he will use his long, thick arms to pummel opponents, fang and tooth to rend at their flesh, and hellish flames to char what remains. This is particularly effective against weaker opponents, against whom his body’s naturally tough skin is all the defense needed, or against unprepared ones, who may not be able to mount a defense in time to withstand his assault.
[Lvl-2]: In a manner similar to ectothermic reptiles of the Third Kingdom, Hellhounds have been observed to move and behave sluggishly in colder climates, while displaying enhanced reactions, strength, and even improved healing in hotter climates. The reason for the creatures’ predilection for the volcanic areas of Hell is made obvious due to this fact. However, this choice is made largely due to convenience. Unlike common reptiles, Hellhounds have the ability to generate heat within their bodies at will, and an excited hound will often raise its temperature by hundreds of degrees in the face of a hunt. If there is a difference between the hound who hunts in the cold and the one who hunts in the heat is that the former shall be all the more ravenous due to excess energy consumed. The upper temperature bound tends to vary from individual to individual but there exist those hounds that may bring the heat of their bodies, and thus their natural vigor, beyond that of the hellish landscape they populate.

At higher levels, this style further increases Fenn’s strength, speed and the intensity of his flames. Relying solely on animalistic aggression, Fenn is only able to use his fire breath and cloaking abilities when fighting this way.

Flash Fire [Lvl-1]: A fighting style reserved for enemies able to penetrate his body’s defenses. He will become cautious and fight tactically, using all the techniques at his disposal. He will often fight upright in this case, leaving his arms free to bludgeon opponents, wield his chains as heavy whips, and better manipulate his flames.

When using this style, all fire related techniques are available. At higher levels, new ways for manipulating flames can be unlocked and performed more efficiently.

Equipment:
-Fangs and Claws [Lvl-1]: The fangs and claws of a Hellhound. Harder than steel and able to be heated up to ludicrous temperatures.

-Chains[Lvl-1]: The same chains used to imprison him by the Demon Lord. These are attached to manacles on his wrists, and are typically wrapped around his forearms. Made to be resistant to heat and nigh unbreakable, and enchanted to be impossible to remove. The chains were not particularly effective at restraining Fenn (the chains were made for him, but the walls of the dungeon they were attached to were not nearly as sturdy), but they were the clearest symbol of the Demon Lord’s power over him.
[Lvl-2]: Fenn’s control over the chains is such that he can move them solely through will. The chains can be used in their normal state, or woven into simple shapes.
[Lvl-3]: If the chains can move as though of their own volition, any objects fashioned from the metal links may do so as well. Limbs may be fashioned and moved as though they were flesh and blood appendages. Other constructs may be fashioned as well depending on the user’s creativity and ability to deal with the added complexity.

With time, these chains seem to have become just another aspect of the demon, seeming to change lengths at will, able to channel flames as easily as any other part of Fenn’s body, and able to be moved with a precision almost impossible to achieve by a wielder’s hands alone.

These chains have become synonymous with the demon, earning Fenn the moniker “Chained Hound.”

Techniques:

Fangs and Claws:
-Claw [Lvl-1]: He will swipe his claws at the enemy. They can be super-heated for extra damage.
-Hell’s Maw [Lvl-1]: He will bite at his opponent with white-hot teeth.
-Pummel [Lvl-1]: Being hit by one of Fenn’s arms is like being struck with a tree trunk.
-Grapple [Lvl-1]: Fenn is large and strong enough to grab and lift most opponents single handedly. Should he succeed, he will then proceed to throw them, crush them, or use them as impromptu weapons to club other enemies with.
-Tempest Blows [Lvl-1]: A monster among his kind, Fenn’s blows can cause noticeable disturbances in the air around them as the wind rushes to fill the void left behind by his tree-trunk arms. An unwary opponent confident in their ability to evade the beast’s arms may find their organs crushed by a near-miss, and enemies standing at a distance may still find themselves being knocked off their footing by the wind rushing from the hound’s motions.

Chains:
-Sweep [Lvl-1]: Fenn swings his chains in a low, wide arc in front of him, aiming to knock enemies off their feet. This move is best used at a certain range.
-Pull [Lvl-1]: Fenn is able to use his chains as a kind of lasso, wrapping them around opponents and swinging them to bash enemies against walls or, if particularly heavy, simply knock them off balance.
-Scourge [Lvl-1]: He will bring his chain down in wide, overhead swings like a whip. The chains are heavy enough to break bones if struck by them.
-Choke [Lvl-1]: Against beings his size, the chains can be used in close-combat to restrain enemies, choke them by wrapping the chain around their throats, or as leverage to throw them.
-Shield [Lvl-1]: Fenn’s chains can be woven into a circular shield over an arm, which can be used to block attacks or bash opponents over the head.
-Club [Lvl-1]: Fenn’s chains can be woven into a large, cylindrical club that widens slowly widens until it reaches its end. The simple weapon is intended for equally simpleminded brutality.
-Flail [Lvl-1]: The ends of his chains can be wrapped up into large spheres and used as flails. The chains’ links make the surface of the spheres anything but even, capable of delivering crumpling blows that wreak havoc on bone and armor.
-Asura [Lvl-1]: The chains wrap around Fenn’s torso, forming a harness and a pair of arms that protrude over his shoulders, mimicking his real limbs. These arms aid the hound in pummeling and holding down prey.
-Bandersnatch [Lvl-1]: Being able to form moving constructs from the chains affixed to him means Fenn can perform relatively delicate tasks without needing to be near a given target with the use of his chains. That said, the hound is anything but delicate, and may well use this ability launch a facsimile of a hand to grasp and pull targets closer.

Hellfire:
-Fire Breath [Lvl-1]: Fenn is able to breathe out a stream of flames. One can tell when he is preparing to do so as his scars and the space between the scales in his chest will begin to emit an orange glow.
-Fire Ball [Lvl-1]: Flaming spheres that can be formed and lobbed at enemies. Basic fire magic.
[Lvl - 2]: These flaming spheres can be detonated at the whim of the caster, and the blast of the explosion funneled in a specific direction.
-Fire Pillar [Lvl-1]: Placing an arm on the ground, Fenn can direct energy under his opponent until it explodes in a pillar of fire. The ground glowing under one is a simple way of telling this is about to happen.
[Lvl - 2]: Practice and affinity with the element allows the caster to create and maintain multiple pillars of fire at a time. A more potent application of this magic requires Fenn to slam his fist to the earth to cause multiple spouts to erupt at once. Given the forcefulness of the spell, the one visible warning before the firestorm erupts is the winding back of the hound's arm.
-Heat Haze [Lvl-1]: A hellhound’s ability to raise their bodily temperature. Fenn takes advantage of this during encounters to generate an aura of overbearing heat around him. This is visible even from a distance by the haze of the air shimmering around the dog’s black scales. Touching the hound at these temperatures may set the offending limb aflame, and weapons without special protection may quickly become blunted and fragile as the heat of his hide begins to soften the metal.

The Roughneck Removalist

Hider

Theme Song: One Step Ahead of the Devil

Name: Gregory Robert "Roughneck" Snider
Gender: Male
Age: 52
Race: Human

Faction: Demon Hunter’s Association (Loosely)

Appearance: Snider is characterized by his old age and many scars. His head is shaved completely bald, giving full view of his liver spots and wrinkles. A long white beard hangs from his chin, something that wouldn't look out of place on a wizard. An ugly burn scar covers up the lower right corner of his face, covering more than half his mouth. A thin scar is just barely noticeable at the front of his through, directly midline over his trachea. Several other ugly scars are also noted across his entire body.

Snider also has several tattoos. There is one on his right arm, a full sleeve, depicting two eagles in combat. The entire tattoo is interspersed with scars, primarily gash-shaped, though some more circular, indicative of bullet wounds. He has a pair of wings tattooed to his back in the appearance of devil wings, crossed out with a very deliberate X-shaped scar. A tattoo on his left chest directly under his nipple reads "SUA SPONTE". On his left tricep, a large number 75 is tattooed. On his right calf, done vertically, are the letters "G. R. S".

He wears a black leather jacket. The epaulets are studded with bone spikes which Snider claims come from the bones of demons he's killed. The jacket is worn open, revealing Snider's near-Herculean physique hidden just barely underneath a black tank top normally stained in blood, oil, or some other substance. He wears a studded leather belt, bones sticking out similar to his epaulets. A gold-plated, oval buckle is worn at the front depicting two sledge hammers crossed with a rifle at the center, barrel pointed upward. He wears a pair of dark jeans, torn at the knees. In addition, a pair of calf length, desert combat boots, laces tucked into the boot. Leather pads cover his elbows up to his wrist, and his knees. Padded gloves protect his hands. A silver wedding ring is worn on his left ring finger.

Personality: Snider has the attitude and vigor as a man half his age. On a skin deep level, he seems to tend toward rudeness in a loudmouthed, braggadocios manner. It seems almost as if he makes a conscious effort to display, in as supercilious a manner as possible, his weapons and skill with the use thereof.

Snider prides himself as a professional, living up to his Roughneck name. He is unafraid of the down and dirty, willing to stoop to whatever depths in order to properly accomplish his job. Jaded, nothing fazes the man anymore. His fear response was replaced instead by a strong amygdala response, his experiences lending to him quick reaction should the enemy come close. Though he sees himself a professional, or likely because of the fact, Snider will reject jobs he deems as either unnecessary or simply too boring as wastes of time. Snider seems to like to make himself as unavailable as possible.

While facing off against an enemy, especially an enemy he intends on killing, Snider will behave at what could only be assumed his worst. He will typically start out with casual banter before moving onto more derogatory bashing. Granted, Snider will use casual banter in walking life.

When it comes to language, Snider doesn't seem to have a filter. In fact, it seems he has a quota for the amount of profanity to spew in a day. His sense of humor tends to be very dark nature.

Bio: Little is known about the one calling himself the "Roughneck", at least to those who know him as the Roughneck. The name itself was self-imposed, something Snider gave to the Demon Hunter's Association back when he believed he could derive some value from them. Snider thought the name was fitting: "Give me all your dirty jobs". Snider had in fact accomplished several missions for the Association, though often left a very big mess at the end. As his experience grew, however, so had his contempt. Snider had largely left the Association, though his alias still appears in their rosters.

Snider came to work with the Demon Hunters after himself having hunted demons. At the time for Snider, it was more for sport than pay. One day, he was chasing after some demons that the association itself had been following. It was then when he became acquainted with the members of the group and killed some demons. It was then when Snider gave him his alias, negotiating his contract over slices of pizza as evident from the grease stains over his signature.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities: None

Style: SUA SPONTE[Lv1] - Latin translating roughly to "Of my own accord", reflecting Snider's brutish, carefree attitude. Snider is purely human with no access to magic or cybernetic enhancement, and thus relies on tactics to defeat his enemies. He is resourceful, instinctively surveying the area for things to use. Before a job, Snider will always do some form of research on his target and prepares accordingly.

Jimmy Jack & Greg Jr.[Lv1] - Twin rocket-propulsed sledgehammers, each six feet in length. The handle is made of hard mahogany wood, lacquered with small ridges sanded to the front to make for a more comfortable grip. The non-hitting end is a small-sized but effective rocket capable of enough force to propel Snider, all his equipment, and a single passenger into the air. They are tipped with a sharp point, designed specifically to gore at a target. Each hammer is modified so that in case the grenade-launcher or bayonet is detached from his gun, the hammer can be attached itself as a bayonet. The hammers are holstered on either side of Snider's belt.

Joanna[Lv1] - Joanna is the affectionate name given to Snider's primary firearm: an FN Mag, gas operated, general purpose machine gun. It chambers in 7.62x51mm NATO rounds, belt fed from the top. Attached to the barrel, is a grenade launcher strapped at the bottom. The stock was sawed completely off, making just enough room for a knuckle. Snider is capable of using Joanna's bipod as a makeshift handle as he pulls the trigger on the grenade launcher. Attached to either side of the barrel is a KA-BAR knife, purposed as bayonets. These knives can be removed and used for especially close range engagements. In case of emergency, the barrel can be removed and used itself as a quite heavy bludgeon. Snider carries two spare FN Mag barrels in case the first overheats. These are attached only with one OKC-3S bayonet per barrel, underneath the barrel where a bayonet should be. Joanna is carried at the front of Snider's body with a strong, load-bearing sling.

Anabolic Steroids[Lv1] - Taken through a needle injected normally into the muscle, in order to aid in his muscle gain and maintenance in Snider's old age. They allow him feats of strength far greater than that of the average man. They do not work instantaneously, and one only sees results through cycles of the drug. To deter others from using his steroids, Snider always pricks himself first. The used needles are stored in a plastic container.

Hearing Aid[Lv1] - Hearing aids used to treat Snider's tinnitus. They are modified to the point that Snider can use his hearing aids like a bat-sonar, capable of detecting oncoming soundwaves and forming a sonic-picture from them. He can thereby aim at a target without having to look down his sights and attack enemies even in pitch darkness. The ear-buds can also be thrown, and upon impact, release a strong, focused, concussive soundwave acting effectively as a miniature sonic stun grenade.

Tourniquet[Lv1] - Snider carries four tourniquets made from a super-durable carbon fiber. They are designed for easy, one-handed use. The user can simply slap it against a surface, the device automatically wrapping against the area, adjusting itself until blood flow is stopped in the area.

Techniques:
Spinning Hammer Thing- By holding each hammer outward with the rocket in a horizontal direction, arms outstretched, Snider is capable of creating a veritable cyclone. He spins at ridiculous speeds, anything unfortunate enough to get caught within it, drawn toward his hammers to be relentlessly smacked against.

Jumping Slam Combo - JJ and Greg are slung over his shoulders. The rockets are quickly activated, pushing Snider into the air. As he descends, he smacks the target into ground with both hammers, following up by impaling them on the pointed tips.

Uppercut Swing Thing - Snider holds the handle of one of his hammers with both hands at the side of his body similar to a golf-club. With a wide back-swing, Snider performs a powerful, rocket-propelled uppercut attack, throwing the target into the air, and kicking up dirt in the process. This move is often followed by another attack, usually a kick to whichever part of the target's body is closest to the ground.

Gun Combo 1 - A complex, lengthy barrage of attacks at close range which consists of an upward or side-ways slash with a bayonet, followed with another slash in the other direction. The target is then kicked. The bayonets are removed from the weapon and used to stab the target. The barrel is grabbed, the entire gun used as a bludgeon, smacking the enemy. The barrel is then removed and itself swung as a bludgeon. The two spare barrels are then taken out and simply thrown at the opponent. While the opponent is down, Snider continuously stomps on them until vital functions are deemed completely ceased. Snider then defecates on top of the corpse, a callsign of his.

Gun Combo 2 - Snider fires a grenade from his grenade launcher. He then fires enough rounds for the barrel to overhead, causing it to fire uncontrollable. A trap of dirty needles is placed on one end of the resulting dust cloud, Snider on the other. As the enemy escapes out of the cloud, he smacks them, leaving the only way out either up or down.

Needle Smack Thing - Snider opens up his needle-container, throwing the dirty needles into the air and onto the ground. Then, taking advantage of his opponent's sudden movement, he bashes the container into the opponent, then hits them again with either a weapon or just his fist.

Hearing Aid Exploity Thing - Snider pounds against the top of his opponent's head, causing them to open their mouth in response. Snider then removes his hearing aids, throwing them inside the opponent's mouth. The thing then activates while inside the opponent's body, sending a powerful, concussive force through the body from the inside out. Should the opponent have their mouth closed, the hearing-aid is instead jammed inside their ear, at the very least causing hearing loss.

Not Quite a Throw - Slaps a tourniquet onto the opponent's neck. The thing then tightens, choking the opponent.

RP Note: Most will refer to him as Roughneck. Few know Snider's real name.
RP Note: Don't do drugs, kids.

Wrath, Heaven's Nephilim

Theme Song: Two Steps from Hell-After the Fall

Name: Wrath

Gender: Male

Age: 337

Race: Nephilim

Appearance: 10 years after his birth, he angered a Beloved with an off-hand comment and he ended up with a large scar during the resulting, if short, skirmish. He shows it off every chance he gets. He typically wears heavy armor similar in appearance to his brother War's but is less bulky and allows for a greater range of motion and greater agility. Stands at 7 feet, 4 inches tall.

Faction: Heaven

Personality: Wrath, despite his name, is a very calm and calculating warrior, taking the time to test his opponent and determine if he needs to unleash more of his own strength or not. However, he can be known to be incredibly unstable once angry, often lashing out at whatever is within reach.

Bio: Wrath was born over three hundred years ago through the merging of the remains of the Demon Rage and the Angel Arciel, both slain in one of the many battles between heaven and hell, in Heaven. They treated him well, wanting to have a champion of their own the next time a Horseman arrived in the White City, but he didn't agree with it. He spent much of his first hundred years wandering from world to world, avoiding the path of his brothers and sister to avoid having to fight them just to simply exist. However, a hundred years into his wandering, he found records complete and total defeat and annihilation of the Nephilim by his brothers and sister Death, War, Fury, and Strife at Eden, centuries before his birth. He counted himself fortunate to have avoided being discovered and continued his wandering ways for another fifty years. At one point, he stumbled across the twilighted world of the Makers, beings who had forged many worlds with their hands. It was here that he found his calling, over 200 years after leaving Heaven to find his own path, while battling the corruption that had slowly begun to encroach upon it.

He spent thirty years battling alongside the Makers and their constructs, but it was a loosing fight, with the corruption simply finding new hosts in Makers and Constructs alike each time an old host was killed or destroyed. It was in that thirtieth year that a representative of his creators from Heaven, Uriel, arrived, offering him a chance to do more than fight a loosing war. The Makers encouraged him and after several days of thinking on it, he agreed. He left the Maker's world with Uriel, returning to Heaven to get his orders.

[Combat]

Techniques:

Wrath Dealers- Rapid Slashes- Wrath closes the distance with his opponent at incredible speeds, unleashings a series of rapid slashes on them. (5 combo)

Serrated Uppercut- After a brief charge period, Wrath unleashes a devestating uppercut on his opponent, hooking them with the blades and knocking them up into the air, if not slicing through their face.

Aerial combo- After knocking an enemy up into the air, can use a three hit combo to knock them back and into the ground. (3 combo)

Rage Bringer- Cleaving Slice- Wrath swings Rage Bringer in a large arc, taking out foes in a large arc in front of him.

Crushing Slash- After stunning a foe with a quick jab to their gut or chin with the pommel, Wrath brings his great sword down in a heavy blow, crushing foes and slicing weaker enemies in two and causing heavy damage to stronger foes. (2 combo)

Earth Render (Lvl1)- After a brief charging period, Wrath swings Rage Bringer into the earth and creates a chasm in a straight line, engulfing any enemies caught in it. It closes after ten seconds, crushing any who fell in. As it gets stronger, it stays open longer and it's strongest version has spikes at the bottom.

Death's Rain- Burst Shot- When faced with a large number of foes, or a single powerful one, coming at him from the front, he can fire all the bolts left in a clip in a shotgun style blast.

Lily, the Enigma

This represents only the general appearance. Horns, eye, and hair colour may not apply

Theme Song: Fleeing Kuro

Name: Lily
Gender: Female
Age: Two millennia at least. Exact age unknown.
Race: Demon (Exact species - Unknown)

Appearance:
Lily’s appearance varies wildly depending on her mood, and although she has a preferred appearance she can look in just about any way she likes. Usually, however, she will appear as a normal human woman, with long, lush red hair and emerald green eyes. Her features are delicate, belying her demonic origin with an appearance of an attractive young lady, with an oval face and full lips, and a sharp chin and high cheekbones. She’s rather tall compared to most human women, standing at 180cm in height, with a slender build yet decently voluminous where it counts.

She is most often dressed in a fairly simple fashion, wearing the clothes of humans; jeans, shirts, the occasional dress if she fancies it.

Two defining features of hers are; a tendency to keep her fingernails long, and often filed to a slight point, as if to remind herself—and others—that she’s not just a simple human bumbling about amidst beings whose power she doesn’t comprehend, as well as a scar running vertically across her right eyes, though the eye itself is still intact.

One thing that Lily is never found without, is an old medallion from a time Lily only hints at. A metallic disc the size of a large coin, covered with intricate patterns, decorated with a spherical piece of obsidian inlaid in the middle. A small section of the sphere is cut out, replaced by a piece of a ruby gem and another piece of oval obsidian in that ruby, giving it the illusion of an eye with a black sclera, slitted eyes, red iris.

Faction: Unaffiliated

Personality:
Lily is, not only among Angels, but Demons as well, an enigma. No one, neither the highest or the lowest demons or angels, know quite what to make of her. Her demeanor, the way she acts, are atypical for a demon of her caliber.

Unlike most, she is not outwardly cruel or belittling, but rather strange amicable and relaxed. To some demons, this is a travesty, and something that should not be. The number of times demons have sought to “correct” her ways is uncountable. Said track record is littered with blood and broken corpses. For while Lily acts surprisingly like a human, she is by no means one. She still harbors the brutal and relentless qualities of most other demons, enabling her to take lives without remorse.

A deeper look into her personality would reveal someone who cares little for good or evil, regardless of whether it’s the greater good or a greater evil. To describe her, the term “Amoral” comes to mind, in that she cares little for anything but herself and her own goals, as such she has also forsaken the war between heaven and hell, choosing instead to live her life in whatever way she pleases.

But to say that forsaking the war means that she’s a pacifist is as wrong as saying she’s like any other demons. Centuries spent fighting has instilled her with a sense of joy whenever she’s in the throes of battle. She truly does enjoy shedding blood and might, on occasion, lend herself out as a demonic equivalent of a mercenary.

And finally, perhaps the oddest thing about her, is her strange interest in humans. Most consider them inconsequential, but she has found them to be quite the intriguing creatures. So limited, yet so full of potential. They bumble about their lives with no clue as to what’s going to happen the next day, and yet they spend so much time trying to change the future for fear of what’s going to happen. And the fact that they are as capable of evil as Demons such as herself, and as capable of good as the pompous angels, is something that she finds herself both surprised and intrigued by.

What few Demons know of Lily as more than just an oddity and enigma, theorize that her interest in humans once had her fall in love with one, and learn compassion, and is perhaps the source of her even stranger powers.

Biography:
Lily doesn’t speak much of her life, and she prefers it that way. To her, it both is, and is not, a game, when it comes to people knowing very little about her. How much can she withhold? How much can they figure out?
The finer details of her life are unknown, but what is known to those who have been around her for a while is that she was born well over two millennia ago, almost three. She was born to a minor group of Demons, ones primarily unaffiliated with the going-ons of the bigger Demons such as Mundus or Sheba. While they weren’t exactly the strongest of demons, they did consider themselves to be more intelligent. More manipulative. They had seen that there were ways to rule over the humans that did not involve a violent take-over. The humans were fickle, ignorant, and oh-so-gullible. Go to the surface, find an isolated settlement, and introduce oneself as a God. Ignorant as these short lived humans were, they would believe it although sometimes a show of force was necessary.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of such Demons existed all over the world. Some more successful than others. Lily was one such Demon. She had journeyed to Earth a few centuries before the initial invasion and subsequent war began. She lived amongst the humans of a settlement on a group of islands northwest of the mainland that is now called Europe, up until the time of the war when she was forced to move; either that or get caught in the crossfire.

Before that, she and the group of demons humans might have called her “Family”, attempted as best they could to scramble to a position of power, beating those weaker than them and being shamefully defeated by those stronger. As they were unaffiliated with any of the larger factions, it was difficult to do much of anything on their own. What territory and power they could get their hands on, they did, but it was often taken away from them just as soon as they had grasped it. Centuries passed, and Lily grew frustrated, clawing her way to the surface as opposed to remaining in the constant cycle of winning and losing power and territory down in the Pit.

Come the time of the invasion a few centuries later, Lily did what she could to avoid the fighting. But war isn’t a thing one so easily avoids. It caught up to her, and she regretfully joined in, only to realise the opportunity that it was to her. Were she to just fight whoever and whatever, she could make her way. Allegiance mattered not, but the power—the favours, the renown, the experience—she could get out of it was its own reward. Were she hired by Demons she would fight the humans and angels. Were she hired by humans she would fight demons and angels. And, if she were to be hired by angels—unlikely as it was—she would gladly fight the demons and the humans. To her, it didn’t matter. Only what she could get out of it mattered.

Power and prestige from fighting were all the rewards and payment she demanded. Let her fight, let her grow in power, and she would willingly stand by the side of whoever sought after her.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:

• Enhanced physical strength - Like any Demon, Lily possesses physical strength and durability superior to any human.
• Enhanced speed and agility - Quick and agile, as much a result of her demonic origin as her own training.
• Shapeshifting - A unique power not to be confused with Devil Trigger. It allows her to transform it varying chimera-like creatures, mostly half human and half beast, granting her different abilities and specializations whenever she does so, and also allows for a greater variety of humanoid appearances.
  
  • Power Form (Draconic Might) - Large increase to raw physical power and endurance.
  • Speed Form (Grace of Bastet) - Large increase to speed and agility.
  • Fire Form (Elemental/Sol) - Enables powerful manipulation and creation of fire, along with a few other abilities, as well as flight/hover.
• Devil Trigger - Lily grows in size to easily measure three metres, massive, leathery wings sprout from her back accompanied by cloven hooves and furred, digitigrade legs. From her elbows and down her arms and hands are covered in black scales, ending in claw-tipped fingers. A pair of ram's horns grows from her temples as the sclera in her eyes turn black, broken only by her red irises. Her four canines elongate, becoming more akin to fangs, as the rest of her teeth sharpen as well. Sleek and Powerful muscles ripple underneath her skin, only adding to her imposing appearance. From behind her sprouts a sandy-brown tail, scaled, half as thick at its base as she is around her waist, fully prehensile as a fifth limp, and a full metre longer than she is tall as well as covered in numerous, small protrusions akin to spikes. Finally, her hair becomes a fiery orange with an almost translucent quality to it; seeming both fire and hair at the same time.
  
  • Allows for greater speed, strength, endurance, and even magic than any of her other forms, as well as the ability to use all the various techniques from her other Forms.

Style:

• Draconic Might [Lvl-3] - Though the same size and musculature as her second level of Draconic form, at three metres in height, and still with a thick, powerful tail a third longer than her height, there are still a few significant differences. Her scales have thickened and gotten sturdier, increasing her defensive capabilities, and a thin layer of scales has covered her wings, making even them more durable. Scales have begun creeping onto her face - previously only skin - covering her cheek bones and jaw. Additionally, small rows of bony spikes has started running down the centre of her tail, as well as up her spine.
  Since Lvl 2, she has been able to breathe fire in a cone in front of her. With Rank 3, she is capable of focusing it into more concentrated blasts, creating either a narrower cone for higher intensity, or shorter blasts for single projectiles.
• Grace of Bastet [Lvl-1] - Employed only when in her Feline form. This combat style relies on dizzying speed and agility, relentlessly attacking again and again leaving little chance to retaliate or even defend against her relentless onslaught. At higher levels her speed and strength will increase.
• Sol [Lvl-1] - Employed only when in her Elemental Form. This combat style relies on mid-to-long range combat, preferring to release torrents or balls of flame at her opponent, seeking to roast them alive before they get close. Using this style she prefers to keep out of melee range, pelting her opponents with as much fire as she can muster. At higher levels this ability will allow for more powerful manipulation of fire, as well as more ways of using them, as well as the use of magma as opposed to solely fire.

Equipment:

• Warhammer [Lvl-1] - A giant warhammer as tall as Lily in her human form.
• War axe [Lvl-1] - An axe the same size as the warhammer. The head is wide, the design simple. A large spike juts out from back of the axe’s head.
• Jian sword [Lvl-1] - A straight, double edged sword, seemingly taking directly from the time of the Han Dynasty in China.
• Bladed Tonfa [Lvl-1] - Single edged blade with the handle jutting out from the flat side of the blade, allowing her to wield it so that it goes parallel with her lower arm.
• Guan Dao [Lvl-1] - A pole-arm like weapon with a large, curved blade attached at the end.

Techniques:

• Unpredictable]
  
  • Jack of All Trades [Lvl-1] - There are very few weapons with which Lily is not proficient. Having lived for well over two millennia, and then a couple centuries, she has had time to master the vast majority of weapons in existence. As such, what weapon she brings to bear in a fight is near impossible to determine or predict. She does, however, have favourites, so those are always a good place to start guessing at.
  • Quick witted, quick hands [Lvl-1] - A fast mind and fast body are necessary tools to make Lily’s way of fighting possible. As such, she can rapidly change what weapon she’s using, taking little more than half a second for a shield to become an axe, and a sword to become a hammer.
  • Projection [Lvl-1] - This ability allows Lily to manifest weapons of different kinds from thin air using nothing but solidified magic. These weapons aren’t static, and can change depending on whatever she desires to wield.
• Draconic Might
  
  • Dive Bomb [Lvl-1] - An aerial attack by dropping down on the opponent at high speed.
  • Sacrificial Defense [Lvl-2] - Uses one of her wings to shield herself from an attack, damaging—or losing it entirely—to negate or highly diminish the damage she would’ve otherwise taken.
  • Fire Breath [Lvl-1] - Like the mythical dragons, she breathes fire upon her enemies. The intensity of the flames can vary, as can the method: Be it balls, plumes, or cones of dragonfire.
• Grace of Bastet
  
  • Hail of Blows [Lvl-1] - A preferred attack by Lily when using her Grace of Bastet feline form. She will attempt to land blow after blow after blow, hailing her enemy with attacks to such a degree that retaliation is all but impossible.
  • Choke [Lvl-1] - Depending on what kind of creature she’s fighting, she can use her tail as a rope, wrapping it around her opponent’s neck in an attempt to choke them.
  • Flash Step[Lvl-2] - Utilizing short bursts of supersonic speed, Lily can close distances almost immediately, move around too quickly to see for any normal human. While doing so she attacks with different weapons, from a variety of angles, and from varying distances.
• Sol
  
  • Supernova [Lvl-2] - Lily sends forth a guided projectile of concentrated fire which erupts in a violent explosion either at her command, or once it hits something.
  • Dissipate [Lvl-1] - Allows Lily to dissipate into nothing but a large orb of fire. After a few moments she becomes incorporeal, rendering her immune to attacks for a few seconds before she’s forced to revert to physical form. Only useable in Elemental Form.
  • Barrage [Lvl-2] - Creating several orbs of fire around her, Lily sends forth a barrage of fiery missiles at her target, which explodes upon impact.
  • Combustion [Lvl-2] - A far more violent version of her Shapeshifting, Lily discards her elemental form, resuming another of her Shapes, and in the process lets the flames her body was previously composed of, erupt in a massive shockwave of fire around her. Renders Sol unuseable for the next 24 hours. Now, with a bit more control, she is capable of directing it into a cone; reducing the area of attack and thus increasing the inteisity of it.
• Devil Trigger
  
  • Cataclysm[Level-1] - Combining the finesse of her feline form and the fiery power of her elemental form, Lily is capable of concentrating the entirety of her fiery power in a fist, unleashing it in a titanic blast of hellfire. Has to be in melee due to the instability of the move, risking it backfiring if used from a range. Incurs the same "Cooldown" as Combustion, rendering fire magic all but impossible for 24 hours.

Trivia:

• Her right eye, and its scar, glows whenever she’s about to shift into one form or another. She almost always keeps it visible for reasons unknown.
• In accordance with her shapeshifter abilities, she can change her general appearance (hair colour & length, eye colour, height, build, and so on).
• The weapons under her “Equipment” list are only her preferred weapons. If she so desired, she could create any weapon in existence, or any object with “Projection”
• Lily's voice is very reminiscent of Sarah Kerrigan, although she can change her vocal cords to give her any voice she so desires.

Kosara Duran

(temp. till I find something better)
Theme Song:

Name: Kosara Duran
Gender:Female
Age: 37
Race: Half-demon

Appearance: Wears a shirt and a pair of jeans and doesn't have the sword from the picture.

Faction: Demon Hunter Organization

Personality: Kosara is a rather emotional person, she is prone to going into a trance while fighting, sometimes losing track of everything beside the fight. She loves fighting and defeating enemies, but what she loves most is killing demons. She despises them with a passion to rival a raging storm. Outside of combat she is rather hyperactive, always moving, always doing something. Likes to talk with people and ironically even with her enemies when she fights them. She rarely trust people outside of the organization. She likes reading a lot though. Probably the only time one can find her staying in one place without moving all around.

Bio: As most Half-demons, Kosara didn't have much of a happy childhood. She grew up only with her mother pushed herself well beyond what she should have, so she can raise her daughter. Kosara didn't have any friends and mostly spend her time at home with the occasional visit to the local library. She never really officially finished any kind of education. Every time she would start attending a school, something would pop up and she and her mother would have to move. That's why she educated herself alone as much as she could with the help of her mother. She learned to read, write and learned math as the books were her only friends.
Her mother was open with Kosara about her heritage and her father since she was just old enough to understand it. That's why the child knew she was a half-demon from an early age and knew the truth about the world – that humans weren't alone on this planet. That said her life changed when her mother was killed by a demon who picked Kosara's scent and traced it to her home. She was 17 at that time. It was that time she learned what her mother was actually working as – a demon hunter. The woman fought bravely, but she wasn't in her prime anymore. Against a rather strong demon and armed with only a sword she was eventually struck down, but she knew it would happen. So she gave up defense so she can take down the demon at the moment it strikes her.
After that event, Kosara took her mother's sword and started to work as a demon hunter also. At first she wasn't doing too great, but as she met more and more enemies, Kosara quickly got the hang of it as they say. She eventually decided to work for the Demon hunter organization after some years of freelancing, but her success with them has been rather shaky. Mostly due the fact she tends to cause massive amounts of collateral damage.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities: (includes powers, special forms, and others)
•Devil Trigger: Unleashing her true demonic form, her body takes a somewhat unnatural figure at places while retaining a very humanoid appearance. Her skin turns blue, her hair changes into extremely hard elastic blades that can be manipulated and controlled at will to form protective armor around her neck and torso. Her arms get covered by sturdy scales and her legs transform into ones closer to a beast, but with extremely sharp and deadly claws. Around her head forms an extremely sturdy helmet like armor that covers her face entirely, blocking normal sight. This transformation has limited time use and grants additional strength, speed and endurance.

My Hider

•Second sight: An ability that appeared after her first time using her Devil Trigger. Due the fact her demon form stops her eyesight, a method to compensate was present. She is able to sense the energy of the surroundings and people. With it she can easily see enemies and even the power distribution when they are preparing for attack, but she cannot see anything without energy in it. Thus simple thrown objects are invisible for her... so are normal bullets.

Style: (you can have multiple, or just one. This also includes the way you fight. You can also give it a fancy name if you’d like.)
•Sword lotus [LV1] – This is Kosara's main fighting style, it consists of balanced mix of attack and defense with heavy dependence on blocks and counters.
•Cascade [LV1] – This is style is her secret pleasure so to speak. It's all about attacks, it has no defensive moves, besides simple dodges. What's special about is the fact how each attack boosts the next one as you build up power with each strike, eventually causing huge devastation once enough power has been gathered. Problem with it is that the initial strikes are rather weak and power is lost if a strike is missed.

Equipment:
•Basilisk's eye- This one is Kosara's backup weapon that she rarely uses. It is a gauntlet with a big eye above the wrist. It has the effect of paralyzing the target for a moment after each fifth strike. May not work on bigger enemies or such with strong demonic powers.
•Mother's wish.- This is Kosara's main weapon. A long straight single edged sword with engraved blade. The runes across the blade glow blue when used in her Devil Trigger. She got it from her mother. The runes glow blue when used in her Devil Trigger.
•Sylph- A small crossbow that Kosara's has taken a liking to. It fires bolts charged with her demonic energy and is enchanted with the elemental powers of air.

Techniques: (Any special techniques? Simple or powerful)

• Sword Lotus:
-Sidestep[LV1]:A simple technique that allows her to move away from incoming attacks.
-Layered block[LV1]: Allowing for blocking multiple attacks with one move.
-Counter[LV1]: Fast counter attack that strikes nearly the same moment when the opponent struck.
• Cascade:
-Wing slash[LV1]: The only technique in this style. It unleashes all the stored energy in one powerful slash that creates a wind wave which strikes through everything it meets.
It nulls all stored energy. Requires a lot of energy to be stored first minimum of 15 strikes.
•Basilisk's eye:
-Stone gaze[LV1]: After hitting an enemy with the gauntlet 5 times, the target will be paralyzed for a moment.
-Basilisk's gaze[LV1]: Can black in incoming projectile attack and render it harmless if it's blocked precisely with the eye on the
gauntlet.
•Mother's wish:
-Air slash[LV1]: Each swing of this sword causes wounds a few inches beyond it's range as the wind propelled by the blade is sharp enough to cut.
-Whirl descend[LV1]: After jumping, Kosara spins rapidly in the air, causing a great number of slashes before she lands.
•Sylph:
-Wind blast[LV1]: After charging for a few seconds, the next bolt will have a small whirlwind around it, causing additional damage.
-Viper shot[LV1]: Using the power of wind, the bolt will be guided towards it's target. Takes a while to charge also.
•Devil Trigger:
-Lighting dash[LV1]: Incredibly fast movement technique that allow her to move to her enemy in matter of a moment.
-Blade armor[LV1]: Using her bladed hair in her Devil Trigger, she can form a sharp armor around her neck and torso.
-Wall walk[LV1]: While in Devil Trigger, she can walk up walls and ceilings for a short time.
-Blade Bloom[LV1]: If she so decide, she can force her bladed hair to grow violently and spred in all directions, attacking everything
around her in a few steps distance. Takes a lot of demonic energy, so her DT will vanish after using it.

Akoni

Theme Song: Ring of Fire

Name: Akoni
Gender: Male
Age: 67
Race: Human

Appearance: Akoni is a man that shows his age, and is wearied by his experience. In his prime he stood six feet and one inch, but is now five feet eight inches. While he still has some good muscle on his body, it is nowhere near what it once was. His thin frame, while toned, is covered in wrinkles. Light skinned, with medium length gray hair, one look at Akoni will tell you that he is an experienced man that has been through Hell (literally!) and back, but he still possesses that fire in his light blue eyes. One detail that is most odd is how Akoni’s body is covered head to toe in light blue runes, magic marks that he has had inscribed on himself over the decades.

Faction: DHO

Personality: Akoni is an old man, and he’s not afraid to let everyone know it. He’s cantankerous, curmudgeonly, irritable, and sarcastic as all hell. He’s also damned experienced so you’d do well to listen to his advice, you young cricket! That’s what he calls the newer generation of demon hunters by the way, due to their generally short lifespans. Damn crickets can’t hardly ever shut up long enough to learn from him so as not to die. Ah well, not his problem. He tried, even if they didn’t appreciate the way he communicated his advice.

He’s been through a lot in his life. Most of it he’d rather forget and move on from, but the kinds of things he’s seen just aren’t that easily forgotten, especially when you devoted most of your life to learning all about them in as great a detail as you can muster before pounding and or blowing them to kingdom come. Sometimes he forgets that he chose this life, but this life never forgets him and keeps coming back. God damn it all to Hell. Literally and metaphorically. Still, even if he’d prefer to live out his retirement giving unsolicited sagely advice to the crickets and drinking scotch, his sense of justice won’t let him sit back while shit hits the fan. He’ll just complain about it the whole time. After all, he’s getting too old for this shit.

Bio: Akoni (no last name given, and no it’s not my birth name and you’re not gettin’ the real one now shut up ya chirpy cricket!) was born to a family of demon worshiping cultists, servants of the Demon King Mundus. They raised him to be just like them, but something in his heart resisted. He paid lip service, but just couldn’t really put his heart into sacrificing that goat or painting that virgin’s blood on his face. You see, Akoni had an inner light, and that inner light saved him when angels of Laguna attacked his family in their inner sanctum. A small army of Affinity and Acceptance slaughtered them all without mercy. All, that is, except for Akoni. Now Akoni couldn’t tell what was going in per say, considering that the angels of the Hierarchy of Laguna prefer to work between dimensions rendering them invisible to mortal eyes, but it was clear that some divine force was exterminating this cult, and his twelve year old self wasn’t exactly hiding.

Free from his family’s influence, Akoni took to his studies with renewed vigor, but this time it was not demonology that he focused on, but the scriptures of Heaven. The sorceries of man. The legends of all three. Anything he could get his hands on that involved mysticism in any manner became like food to his eyes like a fat kid. It was at this stage in his life that he learned a great deal. That the angels of Heaven battled against the legions of the Inferno, justifying their war as divine justice, the greatest force for good. That the demons of the Inferno fought with anyone and anything they could to satisfy their own appetite for power and destruction. How neither seemed to care for humanity, caught in the crossfire and ostensibly what the angels were “protecting.” It all sickened Akoni, and he knew his side: Humanity. At the young age of sixteen he took up arms against both the divine and the profane, killing any he could find.

The years progressed, and Akoni found himself wealthy in demon’s blood and halos. At first demons were easier to find. After all, they were actively more malicious. Once he killed a few angels though, word got around the Laguna and the Army of Light. As a result, many of his encounters ended up a lot… Brighter. His reputation grew, and so at the young age of twenty-one he joined up with the Demon Hunters Organization. Thanks to the organization, finding demons was a hell of alot easier.

Fast forward some years, and Akoni’s reputation as a scholar attracted the attention of others, neither divine nor profane, but of this earth. A group called the Lumen Sages approached Akoni, offended by his indiscriminate slaughter of angels alongside demons, but seeing the light in his heart. They approached with the intention of educating him on the ways of the holy, and so invited him into their fold. Akoni agreed, but his mind had already been set. He followed with the express purpose of learning everything he could from the Sages before leaving and applying that knowledge. While among the Sages, Akoni’s knowledge indeed grew to contain secrets he never considered. He learned of other realms, ones beyond Paradiso and Inferno, and of the Tree of Life which bound all but the world of men. Such a concept fascinated him, that there could be even more out there! He took to studying how to travel between worlds, but found very little in how to accomplish this task beyond reaching Limbo. That is when he came upon a secret book, banned from even being looked upon by others: The Tome of Ages.

Akoni snuck past the book’s security and became the first to look upon its eldritch pages in centuries. Arcane power swirled around him in a ritual he did not understand, but it was done as quickly as it started. The effect? The book bound itself to his life force, his very soul. Enraged, the Lumen Sages detained Akoni until they could convene for a proper punishment. Before his sentencing could be carried out however, Akoni discovered a section of the Tome that fascinated him above all others; a section which detailed the creation of gates between space, and even worlds. In a rush he fashioned a ritual to escape from the Sages. His intended destination was the Land of the Dead, so that he could learn from wizened old masters. Unfortunately haste and inexperience lead to an entirely different destination: Hell. The less said about his time in Hell, the better.

It took Akoni nearly ten years to escape from the Inferno. The time there had not done much to improve his view on the conflict between demons and angels. It did not do much to improve his view on anything. Anything except for how to kill things, brutally and without mercy. Once back on earth, Akoni began a war path and slaughtered demons and angels alike. He dropped so many bodies that he put the other demon hunters to shame. His war path would not last long, however. It would not be interrupted by more violence, but rather by peace and virtue. A demon warrior’s heart woke up to justice, and he stood up against the evil Demon King Mundus. Stories of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda would be told for thousands of years, of that there was no doubt. This event had many profound effects, but fewer than the effect it had on Akoni’s heart.

If a demon, one as powerful and corrupt as Sparda, could learn to have goodness in his heart and even love a human woman, then truly anything was possible. Akoni made a new vow that day not to kill angels or even demons unless they were committing crimes against humans. He did not want for work, for while angels mostly left humanity alone (though more out of disinterest than benevolence) demons rarely exhibited the same restraint.

Once Akoni turned forty-five, he decided to retire. He had more than enough money to live off of, and figured that he really should quit while he was still ahead. Most people in his line of work didn’t live to be twenty-five, so to accomplish what he did was really something. The devil arms and artifacts he had collected over the years were sold off, save for Lammasu, and he took up a less active role in the DHO. That is to say, he sat in the bar all day and drank scotch, often while giving unsolicited advice to the younger generation. Twenty-two years have gone by now. In all that time Akoni has taken on only one job, a minor one at that, preferring to enjoy his retirement. Occasionally he provides training for the greener members of the Organization, but for the most part he just talks down to them and poisons his body with alcohol. His skills have waned, his muscles atrophied, and his magic is nowhere near what it once was, but he’s got more experience than most of these crickets put together!

And that’s when all Hell broke loose. God damn, I’m too old for this shit.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities: Learned Mage - While Akoni has let his abilities atrophy and is out of practice, he is still a sorcerer with decades of experience. As such, he has a vast number of smaller scale spells, little cantrips and prestidigitations, that he can call upon at will. Small fires for illumination, identification, remotely closing doors, creating small breezes, that sort of thing.

Overcharge - A desperation tactic above all else. When faced with an enemy that Akoni simply cannot defeat, he may invoke the power of the runes inscribed on his body. They, along with his eyes, glow bright until they manifest as a burning blue aura around Akoni, amplifying his strength, durability, speed, and magical power many times over. Such a boost comes with a terrible price, as this magic enhancement is powered directly from Akoni’s life force, and at 67 he does not have a whole lot of that left. If ever forced to fall back on Overcharge, the chances that Akoni will survive are slim to none.

Firebrand Trigger - A special power gifted by the Charred Council to their agents, Akoni reaches deep into his spirit and finds a burning rage (not that deep mind you) and brings it out. This trigger transforms Akoni's pathetic ancient and crippled fleshy body into a creature of flame and stone. His strength and durability is increased tremendously during this transformation. It's not as powerful as Overcharge, but it also isn't going to kill him just by using it.

Style: [LV2] Gatewalk - Utilizing his sorcery, Akoni is proficient in opening “gates” between space, portals large enough for most men (and demons) to easily fit through. These have a short range limited up to 30 feet and are used both to increase Akoni’s own maneuverability and to displace enemies. Only 2 gates may be active at a time.
-Level 2- Akoni's range has double to 60 feet and he can now have four separate gates active at once.

Equipment: [LV1] Lammasu, gauntlets formed by the soul of a demon defeated decades ago. The knuckles can transform in a variety of ways, including blades, studs, thicker armor, serration, etc.
[LV1] Tome of Ages, an ancient and powerful book of magic believed by some to have been used by Merlin himself.
[LV1]The Dunwich Diary - Actually called "Oculi Tortis" (or "Writhing Eyes") Akoni picked this book up in a haunted cathedral on a mission for the DHO. Originally from the Ancient Library guarded by the Abyssal librarian, this book was snatched by Sevrin while Akoni, Souta, Mary, and others attempted to stop him but was left behind to corrupt peaceful people. This book grants forbidden knowledge of realms outside the traditional cosmology of Heaven, Hell, and Earth, giving Akoni the ability to summon eldritch horrors and abominations. Due to the sensitive nature of this knowledge, Akoni is taking his studies of it very slowly, careful not to end up like those that misused it before. As such, instead of summoning full creatures it is right now only capable of partially summoning these "outsiders."

Techniques:

Style Techniques

[LV1] Surge - A powerful forward dash attack. Akoni creates gates nanometers from one another repeatedly at hyper speeds, sending him forward in a straight line at blinding speed until he reaches a predetermined destination, usually with a powerful punch. Useful for covering long distances quickly. The primary downside is that Akoni can only see the gate he’s currently inside and he cannot change his destination once he’s started.

[LV1] Eruption - Akoni creates a gate directly beneath a foe’s feet and one directly above himself. He then uppercuts through the gate and into the enemy as they fall, launching the upward and transporting himself to their position. Protect your goods!

[LV1] Gravity Slip - Similar to the premise of Eruption, Akoni creates a gate above himself and below the foe. The difference is in who goes through. In this move, Akoni grabs his target from below, then slams them down into the ground.

[Lv1] Meteor - One of Akoni’s most devastating moves, it is achieved in multiple steps. First, he gets high, usually by creating a gate beneath his feet and simply falling. Once he gets the momentum he needs, he falls directly into a new gate and emerges right in his enemy’s face. Or behind their back. Or at their crotch. Wherever really.

[LV1] River Current - The simple application of gates to redirect an enemy’s attack (or the enemy itself). A gate is formed directly in front of Akoni, and the other side is formed in another direction.

[LV1] Tortoise Shell - A defensive ability only usable after obtaining level 2 in the Gatewalker style. Now armed with two pairs of gates at a time, Akoni creates a defense difficult to get passed. By placing a gate directly in front, behind, and on either side of his body, risk of being harmed is dramatically decreased. Of course, there are gaps in the corners one could use to get at him, and he's incapable of protecting himself from above or below...

Weapon Techniques

[LV1] Squamous Armor - A defensive summon from the Dunwich Diary, Akoni calls upon the scales of creatures man was never meant to know and summons them directly to his own skin. In addition to giving him a distinctly reptilian appearance, it increases his ability to take a hit. The hardness of the extra skin is like a thin layer of iron, and once cracked in one spot the entire armor falls apart.

[LV1] Gibbering Maw - A mouth of alien design appears on a nearby solid surface, whether it be the walls, floor, ceiling, or equipment of nearby allies of foes. The mouth is incapable of attacking in any way, but it does babble incoherently in an eldritch tongue none can understand, yet none can ignore. A distraction-based technique.

[LV1] Charnel Limbs - A writhing mass of decayed, bloodied limbs erupts from the ground in about a 1-2 meter radius, grasping and clawing at anything in their reach. If these limbs manage to grasp something living they will tighten a vice-like grip and attempt to pull their victim through the ground into their own realm. This results in the victim becoming pinned to the ground as the limbs tear the body apart, unable to pass the victim into their own world.

[LV1] Stygian Ortis - The walls have eyes is a literal statement when using this spell. Available in small clusters or single large creations (about the size of a beach ball), these unnerving ocular globes sprout into the wall or floor (but not on living things or their equipment) and act as a sort of proximity trap. If someone designated as an enemy gets too close (within a foot or so) the eyes violently burst in an explosion of highly caustic acid.

Theme Song: Sunset Heroes

Name: Gene Smith, true name Châmêsh, the Humble Effigy
Gender: Male
Age: 24 years
Race: Angel of Laguna

Appearance: Gene's right arm appears to be made of flesh-colored marble, and has a small bracer on each of the arm's joints.

Faction: Hierarchy of Laguna

Personality: In spite of--or possibly because of-- being the "Humble" Effigy, Gene Smith is the very embodiment of arrogance. Proud, cocksure, and foolhardy to a fault, Gene never fails to boast about his power. However, his angelic superiors have instilled a strong sense of duty and camaraderie in him. Gene holds his four siblings in extremely high regard, and despises any and all enemies of Heaven.

Bio: The Hierarchy of Laguna had usually relied on human agents for their dealings with the human world, and for a time that plan had worked flawlessly. Recent developments, however, had made humanity much less willing to listen to their holy superiors, and the Hierarchy was forced to take more drastic measures. To that end, the Hierarchy's best artisans had attempted to improve on their wildly successful "Joy" angels. Whereas Joys were capable of near-perfectly mimicking Witches in both appearance and power, this new breed of angel would be capable of mimicking regular humans. And so, the very experimental "Effigy" angel came into being.

Effigies are angels designed to blend into human society while still defending themselves from outward threats. Unfortunately, a fatal flaw in the Effigies' creation process had made it so that each one developed a rudimentary Angel Arm from its own soul, weakening them immensely. This strange flaw caused the Effigies' mimicking process to fail utterly when replicating certain parts of the body, in particular their right arm and skeleton. Both of these parts were rendered indisputably nonhuman in both look and function, and made going incognito practically impossible for all Effigies. As a result, only five Effigies were ever made, and very nearly all of them were captured by Gilgamesh agents only a few years after touching down on Earth.

Gene is the last and youngest Effigy, colloquially known as "The Humble Effigy". He currently works in the mailroom of a Gilgamesh-owned splinter corporation office, avoiding detection through a variety of complicated and dangerously insecure means. Fortunately for Gene, his Angel Arm manifests as something that can be easily mistaken for a prosthetic, and its complete lack of veins and muscles makes it even easier to disguise. Gene has spend the last five or so years quietly working for Gilgamesh, Incorporated as an intern, spending all the while trying to track down his lost siblings.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:
Angelic Constitution 1: Being ultimately an Angel at heart, Gene is physically superior to most humans, normal or augmented. In terms of raw strength, Gene is roughly comparable to a Hell Gluttony or an Applaud, while at the same time being not much faster than either.
God Trigger 1: The power stored within Gene's right hand can be tapped into for a brief period of time, granting Gene immense pain resistance, increased attack speed, and a massive boost in physical power on par with that of a true Joy. Unfortunately, this form can only last around fifteen seconds.

Style: God Hand Style 1: A style devised by Gene himself. God Hand Style focuses on using and abusing Gene's own durability to overwhelm enemies. Rapid attacks, blocking blows with the God Hand, and fighting as dirtily as possible are all staples of the style.

Equipment: Gene has nothing to his name other than his employee ID, a set of clothes, and the Angel Arm that replaced his right arm: the God Hand 1. The God Hand, being the manifestation of the majority of his power, is functionally indestructible and is much denser than his left arm. If Gene focuses hard enough, the God Hand can be imbued with further power, granting it strength far beyond Gene's own. It is this very property that makes up for at least two of Gene's techniques: the Palm Smash and the God Uppercut.

Techniques:
Side Juke 1: Gene's most agile move, the Side Juke is nothing more than a dodge to the right. Despite not moving his legs at all, Gene is capable of traveling several feet sideways, diagonally, or even in a parabolic arc away from his current position.
Sugar Gene Combo 1: An extensive but relatively simple combination of jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and straight punches that pummels enemies senseless.
Palm Smash 1: A slow but powerful blow with the God Hand's palm that blows enemies several feet backwards.
God Uppercut 1: An attack that is almost comically over-telegraphed, but strikes with unmatched power, the God Uppercut is fully capable of blowing its victims straight to heaven.
Blue Stinger 1: A true remnant of Gene's angelic heritage, this is a kick done in midair that miraculously propels him forward. While not very damaging, it is excellent for closing distances and rattling people's braincases.
Side Swipe 1: A withering blow to the side of the body, meant to break guards in general and ruin kidneys in particular.

Name: Antonio Hasta
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Race: Human

Appearance: Anderson's work attire consists of a suit of metal armor, sleek and stout looking. Over it is an ornate white surcoat with a scarlet cross emblazoned across the chest. A large red cape covers the knight's shoulders, and his head is concealed by a great helm. From his belt hangs a silver crucifix, several bottles of holy water, and similar items. He is the very image of a wandering crusader.
Underneath the helmet lies a young man with medium length black hair, brushed back and revealing a shock of white. His face is clean shaved and his green eyes are focused and steely. His body sports the odd scar or nick, notably one going diagonally over his eyebrows.

Faction: The Catholic Church

Personality: Andrew, on his surface, resembles the quintessential crusader. Frighteningly zealous and possessed of an incredibly devout faith, he does not hesitate to smite any demons and heretics he sees. Paladin Anderson is a tool of divine retribution.
With his helmet off, metaphorically speaking, he's relatively down to earth. He's an avid reader, and when he's not fighting demons he often helps run the orphanage he grew up in. He holds moral values in high esteem, and puts a high value on human life. In fact, this trait is often what fuels his fire. In his own words, he's been blessed to meet many kind people, and should do his all to defend good. That is why he fights. That is why he delights in punishing demons.

Bio: Anderson was born an orphan in Europe. Raised in a Catholic-run orphanage, he was soon found to have a spark of devotion setting him apart from the other children. Carefully, he was guided to study, train, and pray harder than one would ever expect, and was ordained at a very young age. From there, he was drafted into the ranks of the Vatican's foremost Exorcists. Its secret legions consist of highly trained demon hunters equipped with blessed weapons. Anderson specifically was a young prodigy, and his single-minded devotion combined with constant demon-slaying and regular contact with divine artifacts even granted him a powerful blessing.
Now, with the balance of the world thrown out of order, he fights to bring peace to humanity, by eliminating demonic threats with extreme prejudice. God wills it.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities:
Deus Vult - The obligatory DT equivalent. Invokes the wrath of Heaven's mightiest warriors for a short time. A giant, spectral warrior angel appears behind the paladin, mimicking his moves. During this time, the Paladin himself takes on a golden aura, his weapons go ablaze, and he gains wings of light.

Style:
Crusader - LVL 1 - The "default" set of moves, covering techniques used on foot.
Godspeed - LVL 1 - Summons a holy motorcycle, allowing the Paladin to become a modern day cavalier. Changes the properties of certain moves and allows high speed.

Equipment: Anderson wields a variety of blessed weapons, passed down for centuries.

Michael - LVL 1 - A set consisting of a gleaming longsword and sturdy shield. The former has an ornate crossguard and scripture etched onto the blade. The latter is adorned with a large crucifix, across which is inscribed "Quis ut Deus" and around which are paintings of various saints and martyrs.
The weapon has a special ability to change its form. The shield combines with the sword and magically forms a gigantic claymore, altering its abilities and trading defense in exchange for the ability to punish evil without mercy.

Gabriel - LVL 1 - A long, powerful lance with a shining white blade. It's enchanted that, when thrown, it and its wielder will be reunited.

Raphael - LVL 1 - A longbow carved from an ancient tree used to lynch a martyr. It launches a storm of magically generated arrows.

Uriel - LVL 1 - A frightening mace, with a head resembling a brazier that can extend on a long chain. Its sheer mass can pulverize sinners.

Techniques:

Michael
Cavalier - LVL 1 - Charges forward with a powerful thrust, skewering evil.
Stonewall - LVL 1 - Bashes an enemy with a powerful shield strike, knocking them away.
Castle - LVL 1 - A barrier of holy energy extends from the shield, protecting allies from harm.

Gabriel
Longinus - LVL 1 - Throws the lance at a high velocity, sticking into an enemy. Can be followed up by teleporting to the spear's location. (Gabriel is unusable until the secondary step is used)
War Dance - LVL 1 - Spins the spear in a wide arc around the body. Even surrounded, a paladin will not surrender.

Raphael
Artemis - LVL 1 - Fires three arrows in a wedge pattern. A technique developed to fend off armies.
Crescent Moon - LVL 1 - Fires a group of arrows upwards, landing down in a small area. Hunts down those that may hide their sins.

Uriel
Flagellation - LVL 1 - Twists the chain around an enemy, then yanks them closer. Evil cannot escape.
Immolation - LVL 1 - Shoots the head out at an enemy on a chain, then causes a fiery explosion before retracting. Lets sinners taste the Lord's wrath.

Midori Koizumi

Gender:
Female

Age:
16

Race:
Human/Demon

Faction:
Hell

Personality

Midori is a shy frail girl who prefers to be alone rather than being accompanied by someone. When she is forced out in the open she opens up a little to others. Midori only expresses her true feelings to something when she is asked to. Basically she doesn’t act unless she is forced to do anything. If she is forced to do something she doesn’t agree on she becomes quiet and sometimes even cry. In fighting she can become hesitant of her own actions which can lead into huge defeat. But once she understands the right thing to do she acts to accord and isn’t so hesistant anymore. When Midori sees someone in need for help she does try to help a little but prefers not to.

Backstory

Midori is child from a demon and human, making her appear partly human but also has the aspects of a demon. Her wings and horn are not something she can hide so easily. She still looks like any ordinary girl apart from these things. She doesn’t really mind but sometimes acts shy when someone mentions it. She grew up in the demon world knowing that this was a better decision because of her attributes. She had heard stories about the human world but never actually has been there. Her mother had stayed there and her dad started living together with his daughter.

After she became 13 her dad decided to move them back to the human world knowing the mother had been lonely all this time. Midori was taught to hide her attributes at all time, she would wear a hat of some sort or just a random cloak over her head together with a thick jacket. Despites all that she still felt pretty nervous knowing anyone could discover the truth behind Midori. She couldn’t handle all the pressure and tried staying inside for as long as she possibly could. She became a heavy case of shut in and only went outside at night to do shopping for her parents since they weren’t home much either. Midori became hooked on books, games and all the other likes.

Faction: demon hunters association

Personality: ‘If only we could talk about this I'm sure things could work out for the better… no? Ok i tried to do this the easy way’
Zio is one who would always prefer the peaceful solution of understanding. His desire for the less violent approach gets him in tight situations quite often but even though he would prefer peaceful resolves Zio realises that if it doesn't work he's gotta fight.

Of course there might be more to Zio than his peaceful way. Time can't completely heal the anger deep inside Zio.

Bio:
My past? Really I have to? Fine ok lets see it all began on one fateful night many years-
Ok thats BS i don't remember any fateful nights but i do remember growing up in an orphanage… well if you want to call it that I'd rather call it the great darkness and evil of humanity but hey I'm not good with names, so it was called an institution and was outwardly meant for children who had lost their families to the more well you know supernatural side of things.

Of course that was on the outside, the inside was not as pleasant. Humanity has always been all about evolving to survive and sacrifices are always needed in some form… Those kids were those sacrifices.

Tested on daily, experiments fusing both science and magic to find a way to spur greater power for humanity but to all the kids there there was no sense of for the greatness of humanity… it was just hell, being injected, sliced, spliced and god knows what else daily.

As the kids grew they ended up losing most feeling emotionally and physically thanks to the drugs and abuse, they ended up being an unexpectedly useful byproduct.
Perfect killers.
No feeling made them perfect as field subjects for new, experimental or enhanced weapons and it didn't take long for a certain pink haired? Boy to show promise.
You know because he didn't die and all, what a cool kid huh… anyway thanks to that if someone returned alive they would be treated for usually serious injuries and straight after often lead to guess what more experiments with regeneration and other things like oh elemental manipulation.
Now with all this going on you could be wondering things like.
Hey Zio how do you know all this stuff and still have a big heart?

The answer is simple I…. Sorry i mean the pink haired boy learnt that not everyone is all bad as a female scientist? Helped them.
Not being able to bare her sins anymore the scientist? Tried to help as many of us escape as possible, which could have gone better honestly… maybe we shouldn't have taken some of their best weapons but hey how else were we supposed to survive.
So yea we tried to break free of the chains binding us.

If only the kids were stronger or more prepared for what they faced, the others. Seen as traitors we were forced to go ahead against the other experiments as we tried to escape and so many failed… the pink haired boy almost failed too, but the wp,am jumped in the way defending him from a fatal blow. Maybe it was out of guilt or some form of self morality but she did save his life, she even said something stupid about how she liked the colour pink in her last breaths as she played with the boys hair.

After that day the boy got away and after a long period of time he wore a heart shaped key for every friend he lost due to those days.

I then set off traveling, meeting new people, learning of all the great things that are and could be and in the end i landed in the role of a hunter… not that i like it but it turns out I'm really good at it and that's got to be because of my big heart and my way of convincing the enemy to stop.

It's not like i can stop now anyway i kinda got debt now.
Remember kids don't trust white haired strangers, especially ones possibly linked to the destruction of a certain institution.
He's lucky i'm such a good guy and decided to pay for his meal for info… even after all the sarcasm.
But what does he do? Not tell me anything and running off forcing me to not only pay his bill but his entire tab.
HOW DOES ONE GET AWAY WITH THAT MUCH DEBT!?

That's that though and I've got my own things to do still, all I want people to realise what's wrong is wrong and i'm sure if someone could sacrifice their life to protect someone she herself once toyed with i'm almost certain others can have a change of heart too.

The heart is a wonderful thing. I'm sure one day everyone will understand.

[BCTheEntity]

For the Grace and Glory of The Creator!

Dramatic music plays as two angelic scions descend from the heavens!

And then becomes more fightsey.

Name: Iscah and Iacobos
Gender: Iscah claims to be female, Iacobos claims to be male; as they are both hideous flesh monsters encased in coloured marble, the truth of the matter is unverifiable.
Age: 15
Race: Angels of Laguna, specifically a Grace and Glory respectively.

Appearance: Iscah is slightly more feminine-looking than the typical Grace, and the red-armoured claws usually wielded by a Grace are heavily altered on her, bearing an oversized buckler-like construct across the back of each gauntlet, with claws that are longer, thinner, and straighter than usual, overall more reminiscent of swords; the overall impression is that of a lantern shield, albeit one that is three-bladed. However, said blades can also shift upward and back slightly, prompting the reveal of a wide weapon barrel from the shield portion of each gauntlet.

Iacobos' physical form is slightly more slender than the typical Glory, though no more or less masculine than would be typical; the claws on his gauntlets are similar to those of a standard Glory where Iscah's are notably different to those of the typical Grace, but have the capacity to slide across and merge with one another to form the front portion of a rifle-like gun.

Faction: Heaven, specifically the Hierarchy of Laguna.

Personality

Naturally, both Iscah and Iacobos are fierce warriors, for such is the lot of any Grace and Glory, and indeed of many Laguna angels beyond them too. Unlike the majority of their kind, though, they are both imbued with the gift of tactical prowess: they are extremely crafty as individuals as well as fighters, to the point that they will often prefer to ambush any potential targets unawares, as well as striking the foe simultaneously where standard Graces and Glories may only move in one at a time, and in those rare cases where they are drafted for tasks unrelated to combat can produce complex plans that one would imagine was beyond mere Virtues, and the telepathic link the two share only further bolsters both these situations.

This is not to say they are identical in mind, of course, though they are very similar beings: both enjoy the service that they can provide to the Hierarchy of Laguna, and to Paradiso as a whole; both constantly scan their foes during battle to establish powers, strengths and weaknesses, and determine counters for such abilities; and both are immensely protective of their respective sibling, such that if one begins to falter, the other will gladly charge in to distract whatever foe has caused this state of affairs to buy time for their counterpart to escape before making their own. However, they differ on a few key points, namely their opinions of humanity: Iscah is certainly the less kindly of the two about mortals, and though she does not actively hate them so long as they do not attempt to hold up Paradiso's activities, she also does not particularly care if her attacks happen to cause a lot of collateral damage in the human realm; by contrast, Iacobos greatly prefers not harming uninvolved humans where possible, as doing so can only result in less support for Paradiso, though neither will he hesitate to slay a mortal who has foolishly decided that Heaven is their enemy. Iscah is also somewhat more aggressive overall than Iacobos, as reflected in their preferred fighting styles, and has a tendency to take charge of the pair when no other authority presents itself, often developing the duo's plans more along her lines for sheer force of suggestion.

Biography

Most angels of the Hierarchy of Laguna are produced in manners which are near-incomprehensible to human beings, eldritch as they are. The Affinities, forming from the souls of ritually-sacrificed humans, and their larger cousins the Applauds are exceptions to this rule. Iscah and Iacobos are two more: rather than being "born", or otherwise formed in whatever fashion Laguna angels come into being, these two angels were quite deliberately created by a number of other angels working in unison to improve upon the current design of the Grace and Glory pairing, amongst other things by linking their souls together in a way that ensured they could not be killed unless both their physical forms were destroyed. The end result was, it seemed, successful: the two beings attained their own separate bodies, with all the power and combat skill one might expect of their sort, and it was noted that, for whatever reason, they were far more intelligent and open to suggestion than any normal Grace and Glory would be. Potentially a good thing, for the vast majority of their kind would fight in inefficient manners that could be resolved in these two with long hours of hard drilling; also potentially terrible for Paradiso, if an external force found a way to convince them that Paradiso was a corrupt or evil force. They were still fundamentally opposed to the fiends of Inferno, of course, but if a sufficiently-charismatic human or other unaligned entity got to them...

Naturally, steps were taken to avoid this. For ten years, the two prototypes were, for want of a better word, "retrained" to work together as a team, to utilise their weapons more effectively (assisted later on by their request for personalised armaments, duly granted), and to ensure absolutely that neither would ever be tempted to betray the realm of Jubileus that had granted them life in the first place. An extremely short span of time for an angel, but as comparative newborns, this all had the desired effect on the two: at their apex as a team, they proved themselves nigh-unbeatable in combat even by angels of notably higher Spheres, and even alone could soundly best any lesser angel through a combination of unorthodox techniques and sheer raw power, all complemented by thorough indoctrination into the tenets of the Creator and her messengers. Of course, any prototype is likely to have a few glitches or bugs in its production process, and it was discovered at the ten year mark that Iscah and Iacobos had, in fact, developed a form of telepathy between themselves, only further bolstering their already-significant senses of self and tactical ability. This might have been considered a failure under some circumstances, but it occurred to one of the higher-ups on the project that perhaps it would instead prove itself a grand asset, if they could be convinced to work together. After all, they were smart enough to generate their own future improvements, and it always helps to double-check one's work against another mind...

With little ceremony, Iscah and Iacobos were dumped into the human world, told only that they might evolve to reach greater Spheres than they were nominally part of if they trained hard enough, then left to their own devices. Naturally, both took this to mean that they ought to figure out ways to further boost their own fighting abilities; thus, Iscah almost immediately took the intuitive route, beginning to develop a method of combat that extrapolated from her own natural style, and incorporated her weaponry and flame-based powers into it in ways that further boosted its effectiveness. Iacobos was more hesitant to immediately leap into anything, and though he did figure out a method of improving his weaponry through use of his magic and a few scattered battle techniques over the next half a decade, he rapidly determined that perhaps he might learn a thing or two from those who bartered pacts with Paradiso's angels, if they were still around, and sought them alongside the being who may as well have been his sister, slaying a fair few demonic (or otherwise Heaven-opposed) foes along the way.

As luck would have it, the Lumen Sages had only recently begun reorganising themselves, and after a time, a sect of the angel-worshipping humans discovered the two Virtues and gladly welcomed them into their fold, very appreciative of anything amounting to Heaven's assistance against the surges of hellish activity that had begun plaguing the world. They certainly benefited from the presence of a Grace and Glory, but the very same Glory received a much greater boon almost by accident: Iacobos noticed that, time and again, the Lumen Sages would both slow time to boost their speed and call down other angels to assist in combat. And he wondered to himself, "Why shouldn't I be able to do that? I'm an angel myself, my own brethren shouldn't be sealed away from me." And other such thoughts as those. Naturally, the Sages were more than happy to help, though at first their methods seemed practically impossible to pull off, for they achieved a connection to Heaven via pacts with its minions... but months passed, discussions were had, and Iacobos finally managed to work out a way of essentially hijacking his own ethereal bonds, directing them to draw lesser angels from Paradiso in much the way the Lumen Sages did. In effect, he forged a "pact" with himself.

And no sooner had he managed this then the sect of the Lumen Sages he and Iscah were with came under attack by a gang of Umbra Witches. They, too, had been growing in strength in the past few years, and though all the warriors of Heaven so present fought hard, the Lumen Sages in the area were wiped out entirely. Indeed, it would have been very likely that Iscah and Iacobos themselves would have perished regardless of reinforcements, had it not transpired that a certain group required soldiers for its cause. The Grace and Glory were spirited away to the plane of the Charred Council, and given the offer to work under them as keepers of balance and, in essence, managers of the universe itself. Both refused almost instantly, Iscah on the grounds that Hell and its demons were a fundamentally evil force and deserved to be destroyed in favour of Heaven and its angels, and Iacobos on the basis that, whilst he'd been told his whole life that Hell and its minions were evil without solid proof, he'd just seen firsthand what the Umbra Witches were willing to do to their fellow humans, who had wanted nothing more than to protect the world from devastation, unite all peoples within their nation... and etcetera. In other words, the Council's warped idea of "balance" could shove it.

They were unceremoniously returned to the human world, almost exactly where they'd been spirited away, complete with Witches. The angels worked together to fend the demon-aligned women off as long as they could, and even managed to kill some of their number, but they were inevitably swamped by the larger force heedless of teamwork, Iacobos taking a blow that sheared his head from his shoulders, and Iscah coming very close to impalement through the chest, if not for the intervention of Heaven itself. Or of the team who had created them, rather. They were too valuable, after all, to be discarded so readily, and could have been the basis of a new generation of angels entirely in the minds of these scientists; and so Iscah was drawn back into Paradiso, to recuperate for a time until she could return to full strength, and her brother's soul could be revived in a new body. As of now, they have both returned to their usual power, and are waiting for the moment when they can be sent back down to Earth, to continue their mission to denounce the evils of Hell, and extend the reach of Heaven across the whole of the mortal realm.

[Combat]
Before anything else, it should be noted that as very closely intertwined entities with the capacity to share their perception of any given battle, Iscah and Iacobos essentially share a pool of style points between one another as though they were a single character. This has positives and negatives in various forms, but the effective outcome is that they can both benefit from investments in certain styles, equipment, and techniques, whilst others will assist only one of the pair; each style, technique, and piece of equipment is marked accordingly.

Powers and Abilities:
Laguna Biology - Iscah and Iacobos are both angels of the Laguna Hierarchy, and as such are just shy of being humanoid abominations if not for their marbled masks and armour: they do not age, possess incredible physical abilities, strength and agility in particular, and in unison are more than capable of tearing nearly any mortal to shreds, though they are nevertheless bound by their Sphere, and can have trouble dealing with beings beyond their level even given their own power. However...

-Divine Grace, Incandescent Glory - As described, Iscah and Iacobos' power and speed are practically unrivalled within their Sphere, especially when complemented by Iscah's fire-producing abilities and Iacobos' electrokinetic powers. Furthermore, being particularly well-tuned toward such a goal, their ability to work together to outmaneuver and defeat opponents is unparalleled by any, save perhaps the fabled Gracious and Glorious pairs of the First Sphere. This, however, comes at the cost of vastly reducing their effectiveness when separated, by choice or otherwise; they remain difficult foes alone, but struggle to adapt to the knowledge that they lack backup, causing them to attack far more aggressively than they ought to, as though their partner is still around to cover their back.

Telepathic Link - Possibly a contributor to their unnaturally-high intelligence, Iscah and Iacobos share a mind link that allows them to communicate with one another silently and extremely quickly, granting each access to the other's thoughts, ideas, strategies, and so on, to the point that new plans can be discussed with one another in the heat of battle with the opponent knowing nothing of whatever they are about to face off against next. Naturally, this only serves to further strengthen their teamwork; should it be broken, though, they'd lose this ability to communicate so readily, and would likely react... poorly, to put it lightly.

Surrender of Self - Amongst all Graces and Glories, Iscah and Iacobos are unique in that they are effectively D&D-style phylacteries for one another: should one of them die, their soul will be automatically drawn into the body of the surviving member of the duo rather than succumbing to whatever fate it would otherwise have been subjected to, allowing the "deceased" individual to be resurrected in a new body in Paradiso if the partner is given a chance to return there. Thus, it is necessary to kill both Iscah and Iacobos to ensure that they both remain dead, and they are both very aware of this fact. As of current, the surviving partner does not gain any benefits from trapping the deceased partner's soul, though they have bounced ideas between one another in an effort to figure out possible ways of improving this situation.

Styles:

People's Unity Style L1 (Iacobos) - It is generally the case that most angels cannot actively summon one another, this functionality being restricted to those Lumen Sages who have formed contracts with the Hierarchy of Laguna and a few of the stronger Spheres. Iacobos is the exception, and though it does require a small energy input and the naming of a particular rank to perform this sort of summoning (naturally increasing as stronger angels are summoned), the rewards are typically more than worth the cost; this style is often combined with Iacobos' own attacks, be they melee or ranged.
L1: At level 1, Iacobos can summon any angel to his side in the Third Sphere, up to and including the strongest of Principalities of both the Hierarchy of Laguna and, less frequently, the Army of Light. Though they are weak on their own, these angels can be summoned with practical impunity to swamp foes in bodies, to the point that mere Angels are effectively bound to Iacobos' will upon summoning, and it is only rarely that otherwise-idle Archangels and Principalities will even be able to summon the energy to question a Glory's orders, much less disobey them outright. Indeed, he often keeps a lone Decoration or Compassion about as a pet of sorts, replacing it whenever the current one is killed or otherwise removed from him, and apparently naming all of them Nyarlathotep (Nyarth for short) after "one of those quaint human mythological texts" regardless of which one is currently in thrall to him.

Evil Denouncement Style L1 (Iscah) - A highly agile style relying on number of hits and area damage, the claws of Iscah's gauntlets draw back to expose the weapon's barrel, and a burning stream of holy promethium (in various forms, depending on how strong Truth and Love are) pours forth, igniting whatever it touches, and serving as both a cloak to her actions and a much-needed boost to her attacks, assisted further by the shields attached to each gauntlet that can readily block incoming attacks as needed. At higher levels, Iscah moves and strikes faster and faster, incorporating her own summoned flames into her attacks more effectively as well.

Double Trouble Style L1 (Both) - As described, Iscah and Iacobos are both far more capable of ganging up on foes than a normal Grace and Glory pairing. This is described by the Double Trouble Style, which to some extent draws on both their standard tactics and personal combat styles to produce a combination style capable of ensnaring and beating down most foes very effectively, and their strategies only become more synergised as this style reaches higher levels.

Evolution Blastoff Style L0 (Both) - Not currently in effect, but it is known to both Iscah and Iacobos that they hold the potential to utilise this "style". Realistically, it is less a combat style and more a boost to their power: though they presently remain as Virtues, and initially invoking this style will require as much effort as generating a new style outright, each level up of this style will provide a massive boost to power in all areas for both partners, essentially raising the Sphere they are part of, from Virtue at "L0" to Dominion at L1, to Throne at L2, and so on up to the highest ranking of Seraphim, below only the Auditio and Dea themselves. Knowing that there exist beings similar to souped-up Graces and Glories at the highest levels, Iacobos has proposed that they are intended to transform into a Gracious and Glorious themselves at this style's maximum strength, though Iscah is far more sceptical about this theory's viability. They also have theories about how this style could be invoked to better synchronise their souls when one of them dies, though the process of achieving this will involve further thought and discussion on their parts.

Equipment:

Truth and Love L1 (Iscah) - Iscah's gauntlets, with sword-like claws and a shield construct on the back, and the barrel of a weapon hidden behind the claws.
L1: The shield is roughly the size of a buckler, the claws are about the length and width of shortswords, and the weapon barrel is a sort of holy flamethrower - whilst her Evil Denouncement Style is in use, it will spew out a near-indefinite stream of magical flame akin to a regular flamethrower, the flames themselves not dissimilar to her own summoned flame, that form a wall of fire around Iscah as she moves and fights.

Reach Above Nations L1 (Iacobos) - Iacobos' gauntlets, more akin to a standard Glory's claws normally, but whose claws can shift and merge to create the barrel of a gun with seemingly limitless ammunition.
L1: The gun's barrel is apparently that of a battle rifle, with a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s, a basic firerate of around 500 RPM, and- whilst Star Extend is in effect- a maximum firerate of 1300 RPM. Iacobos can apply force of will to further increase firerate beyond this point, but doing so risks melting the gun barrel and rendering the gun useless until it can be repaired.

Aegis of Grace and Glory L1 (Both) - The plating and masked full helms worn by any Grace or Glory.
L1: Covers only as much area as the standard Aegis - the head, chest and shoulders, groin, and most of their legs, all of which is prone to shattering when enough damage is taken to reveal the angels' true features, as is the case for any Laguna angel. Their hands are largely protected by their clawed gauntlets, moreso for Iscah than Iacobos for reasons described above.

Techniques:
Standard Techniques
Standard Grace and Glory techniques.
-Elemental Tether L1 (Both): Using their respective elements, Iscah and/or Iacobos extend their claws on long bonds, vastly increasing the range of their melee attacks.
L1: The range increase is about one meter.
-Wide Swing L1 (Iscah): Iscah takes a wide swipe at the area in front of her, potentially cleaving through multiple enemies at a time, or else dealing a great deal of damage to a single foe at the cost of a slightly slower attack than usual.
-Tornado Strike L1 (Iscah): Iscah twirls toward an opponent, doling out a series of rapid melee attacks like a burning tornado once in range.
-Counter Strike L1 (Iacobos): Iacobos attempts to dodge an incoming attack, in the same moment using his weapons to return an attack toward the opponent.
-Shockwave L1 (Iacobos): Iacobos falls back and charges his claws with electricity, then leaps a few feet into the air and slams them into the ground, sending arcing lines of electricity in all directions to try and electrocute the opponent. This is evidently much more powerful if a direct hit is achieved.

Equipment Techniques
Techniques derived from Iscah and Iacobos' weaponry.
-Searing Stab L1 (Iscah): Whilst utilising the flamethrower on her weapon, Iscah rams her claws into an opponent's body, forcibly roasting their flesh as the flamethrower spews fire directly into the wound, and ideally the internal organs as well.
-Star Extend L1 (Iacobos): Iacobos charges the guns on his gauntlets with electricity, vastly increasing their firerate and imbuing each individual projectile with an electrical charge for greater damage, particularly against targets that are covered in or integrated with large quantities of metal.
L1: This style is not particularly efficient, and can only increase the guns' firerate at a rate of around half their base firerate per minute, such that reaching maximum firerate takes a comparatively long time considering the speed at which supernatural battles are conducted. Fortunately for Iacobos, he does not need to constantly fire the guns to achieve this effect, meaning he can avoid excessive collateral damage, or even spend a few minutes before a fight charging up to start off at maximum firerate. Additional electrical damage from bullets is fairly small, though not insignificant.

People's Unity Style
Techniques only Iacobos can utilise based on the summoning of other angels to his side. The techniques themselves are fairly obvious, so only the maximum number of entities summoned per use will be listed next to them; fewer entities than this can be summoned if so desired, and additional summonings for more energy can obviously be implemented as desired.

-Angel Calls - The lowest of the low, these angels require practically no energy to call into Purgatorio, and in the same stroke are cannon fodder in all but name.
--Affinity Call L1: 6, in any of five forms
--Cachet & Compassion Call L1: 3 (+4 per)
--Dear & Decoration Call L1: 2 (+6 per)
--Enchant Call L1: 4
--Acceptance Call L1: 3, in any of two forms

-Archangel Calls - Angels in a pseudo-commanding position, they can help coordinate lesser angels and themselves take little energy to bring in, but are only somewhat tougher than their weaker counterparts.
--Applaud Call L1: 3, in any of two forms
--Accolade Call L1: 2, in any of four forms
--Enrapture Call L1: 2
--Fidelity Call L1: 4

-Principality Calls - The strongest of the Third Sphere, and effective specialised shock troops and Third Sphere commanders, but still quite weak in the grand scheme of things, though they still do not require much energy input to bring in.
--Ardor Call L1: 2, in any of two forms
--Irenic Call L1: 1
--Allegiance Call L1: 1

Evil Denouncement Style
Techniques only Iscah can utilise based on the use of her flamethrowers to swamp the area about her in holy fire, combining with a rapid attack style for heavy and rapid damage overall.
-Burning Twister L1: Essentially a stronger version of the standard Tornado Strike, Iscah spins fast enough that the air about her forms currents, whipping the fire she emits into a veritable wall of flames surrounding her that sear anything foolish enough to move into her range on top of the physical damage dealt.
-Pyro Cloak L1: A more crafty use of her fire to hide Iscah and distract her opponents, making it difficult to figure out where she is going to attack from next.
-Wall of Flame L1: Slamming her hands to the ground, Iscah sends a wide wave of magically-manipulated fire outward, in an attempt to engulf any foe who chooses to stay put or simply dodge to one side or the other.
-Curling Strikes L1: Rather than attacking head-on, Iscah actually strafes rapidly around her foe as she attacks, continuing to burn and strike them even as it becomes more difficult to turn in a way that lets them respond accordingly.
-Funeral Pyre L1: A sort of finishing move against an apparently-weakened opponent, Iscah initiates this attack with a Searing Stab, then throws them upward a ways and follows after, impaling them from behind with another Searing Stab before flipping on top of them and dropping them to the ground, stabbing and slashing rapidly with her free claw until impact, and finishing them off with a final doublestab to the head, all accompanied by waves of fire throughout the technique.

Double Trouble Style
Techniques that Iscah and Iacobos can utilise in tandem for greater effect. Notably, most of the techniques previously described can also be utilised as part of this style, enhancing their capacity to deal damage as fending off both attackers becomes incredibly difficult.
-Light Speed L1 (Both): Taking a page from the Lumen Sages, both Iscah and Iacobos can use this style to slow the passage of time for everything other than themselves, essentially acting as a temporary speed and agility amplifier, though in any case it cannot be sustained for too long before deactivating, and any slowed time must "recharge" for a brief period before it can be utilised again.
L1: The passage of time slows to about a quarter of its usual pace for up to three real seconds at a time; each slowed second takes ten seconds of real time to become reusable. we still need to discuss this
-
