Turning the blackened skull's sockets burning balefully with red embers towards Atalanta, the skeleton that was Nobunaga's facade simply looked rather incredulous despite the lack of any facial muscles or skin. "Well, we're dealing with witches... even someone like I know that true names are not something to be bandied around easily in their presence." Moving towards the railings and staring into the see, the burning effigy of a human's support frame simply blazed all that hotter at Keisuke's words. "Witch, is it possible to bind the serpent tailing us with your crafts if we can pound away at it enough? If we can make it pull our ship, it'll get us moving all that faster and maybe scare away the small fry." Putting her outside the box thinking to good use, the charred black skeleton clattered in a spine-tingling laughter.

"Hmmmm?" Humming as she continued to walk around in a seemingly aimless manner, the girl dressed up like a noble stopped in her tracks to regard the giant with a raised eyebrow. That was by far one of the biggest Draph that the alchemist had ever seen in her life, topping the regular seven and eight feet males by two more heads. If anything, this looked like the ultimate evolution of what that particular race would regard as macho, though judging by the overall appearance this particular one was surprisingly youthful in that he had the look of child-like innocence about him as well as the mannerisms of a child.

"Hey, mister. Come over here so that you'll get out of the way of all the vehicles. It's bad to hold everyone up." Waving a hand around airily, the diminutive girl less than half the minotaur' size tried to hail down the Berserker in order to get him away from the scene. No matter how big he was, it was still a kid and the alchemist had a soft spot for such.

Cheerfully waving to random passerby's and people along the way was what appeared to be a girl in the bloom of her life. Peppy, energetic, and fashionable could be used to describe the lass dressed in crimson- looking for all the world like a scion of a well-to-do family considering the elegant dress and the golden multi-pronged tiara she had upon her head. Book clasped in hand, the image seen was further elevated to one of the well-read gentility when coupled with the intelligent light that was all but shining from her eyes.

Still, there was a sense of something off about the maiden in question. People rather skilled at reading tells would find that the actions would be more easily described as belonging to those of an actress than a real person, as though one were playing a role extremely well. It was just too perfect to be called genuine in that sense, for no girl of that age would be able to keep as calm and cheerful as the one who was all but yanked to her new surroundings.

And indeed, they would be right if they were onto that point. Lurking behind the good humor was that of a cool researcher that was gathering information while continuing the charade. A being older than many generations of clans and royalty continued their appraisal, putting new senses against old experiences and memories to correlate a logical way to react to the surroundings. For now, she was to remain innocent and charming, adopting a look that seemed as harmless as possible. Going so far as to hoodwink herself some free skewers of meat from a nearby vendor by acting all cutesy, the alchemist Cagliostro finally stopped to thoughtfully chew away at the chewy spiced skewers.

"Hmm, good fat to flesh ratio... a bit of muscle to give it the toothsome texture one needs to be able to hook customers to come for a repeat purchase. A bit overspiced to compensate for the fact that the meat is a bit on the older side but still fit for human consumption considering it was free." Muttering her appraisal, the alchemist continued to consume her free meal to convert the materials into stored energy that could be put to use for later. Though the return was minuscule, it was something that a patient alchemist would never throw away. After all, when one lived as long as she did, one tended to hoard anything that could be considered useful.

"Tch, using my True Name so easily and in front of people we can't fully trust. What kind of Master are you?" Rather irate that yet another person wasn't using her amazing moniker of Demon Archer and even gave away their true identities out in the open, the flaming skeleton whose form was obscuring Nobu's real appearance from the world took out an arquebus before pointing it towards the rapidly approaching maw of the serpent. Then two more guns lined to the side of the rifle held in the girl's hand, perfectly level with the weapon actually held physically before a resounding bang emanated out with the might of a thunder clap.

The three projectiles spewed forth rocketed forward with intense speed and power, Tenka Fubu empowering the strength behind the blow due to the fact that the sea serpent had a certain level of Mystery inherent in it as with all Phantasmal Beasts. In this Age of the Gods, one such as Demon Archer would be at her strongest point in a very ironic twist. "After I kill it, someone better be able to make it into either sashimi or unagi depending on what the meat is like. I've never tasted sea serpent before."
And going for my second character.

Name: Sadao Maou/Satan Jacob

Gender: Male

Appearance: Human Form and True Demon Form

Personality: Sadao Maou is an interesting contradiction of a person. He is hard-working in his job and yet a lazy layabout when off hours. He has high pride in himself, and yet he is never overconfident. A man with many qualities that seem to clash against each other, this young man is someone that can be polite and professional one minute before switching to a much more personal and comfortable persona the next. Flexible and broad of mind would be the best way to describe Sadao Maou. Perhaps one of the nicest Demon Lords you will ever meet in the multiverse. Affable, agreeable, diligent, intelligent, charismatic, and mysterious would also be apt descriptions of the devil himself. Despite his non-serious attitude, evoking his wrath tends to lead to something best described as "awakening a sleeping dragon".

Brief History: Despite his current ordinary life as a Mg Ronald's employee in the city of Tokyo (he recently became Assistant Shift Manager at his local branch location), Sadao Maou used to be a Demon Lord from an alternate reality. His past was full of bloodshed and darkness as befitting of a holder of the name of Satan (though he's not really the first in Ente Isla and Satan is basically the demon race's equivalent of "Bob"). Born to a lowly goblin-like tribe, young Satan Jacob is the only survivor of his people due to an intense battle between much more powerful demonic forces.

As he laid down waiting for death, the demonic child was nursed back to health by a mysterious angel that told him stories during his infirmity. Upon fully healing, the survivor used his newly imparted knowledge to quest for more power and wisdom, culminating in an ambition that made him the undisputed ruler of the various fractured demon tribes after a quarter of a century of crusading. Crowned the Demon King, he then turned his sights to the cross-shaped lands of Ente Isla in a grand scheme to provoke the enmity of subdued humans so as to eternally sustain his people on their negative emotions due to the fact Demonic Magic is empowered by darker thoughts.

Universe of Origin: The Devil Is A Part-Timer!

Equipment: A few packs of casual clothes and MgRonald's employee uniforms, his trusted bike Dullahan, and his old Demon King uniform and mantle.

Abilities: Sadao Maou spends most of his time as an ordinary human, key-word being "most". Due to the limit of demons relying on negative emotion to empower themselves, Sadao has to retain an energy friendly human appearance so as to not squander his magic. Even as a regular human though, he has a genius-level intellect with perfect memory recall, able to use deductive reasoning to piece together scraps of information to work out plausible deductions during investigations as well as a mind so keen that it could easily understand people through simple interactions with them, putting the best mundane psychoanalysts to shame. Behind his simple exterior is a mind so powerful that it could perform simultaneous thought processes working in tandem to think about a dozen different things without interfering with the other lines of thinking as well as figure out how how advanced theories work in a most brisk manner even when knowing nothing about such subjects prior. Simply put, it's a literal supercomputer of a mind that can even create vivid simulations like a real piece of hardware could.

When he's near a sufficiently dense enough source of pain/despair/fear/loathing/hatred/etc originating from sentient beings, the man has the option of returning from his incredibly average and frail human body to a more demonic countenance. In his true demonic form of Satan Jacob, our favorite shift-food manager gains access to a predominantly black aura as well as a much more robust body. Growing in size to a height of six feet and achieving a chiseled muscular form that would put most professional bodybuilders to shame, Satan also sprouts more inhuman features as befitting his stature of Demon King such as horns, thickly furred legs from below the knees that ends in hooves, pointed claws where human nails used to be, sharper canines, and a pair of pointed horns- one of whom is cracked. Demonic powers include...

Enhanced Physical Attributes: A sort of all-rounder, Satan might not be the strongest or fastest or toughest, but he has an equal mix of strength, speed, reaction time, and endurance. For all intents and purposes, he's nerfed the same way Strat's Superman's is, though in his case he knows how to fight due to many years of bloody warfare. He can also fly and quicken healing factors as well. Most of the time though he'd be quite a bit weaker than that though so as to stretch out how long he can have a viable store of magic since the stronger he is, the faster the magic depletes. It takes at least a couple dozen of people experiencing strong negative emotions to give him the ability to fight for a few minutes and a thousand or more will let him employ the majority of his skills for a good while.

Telekinesis: Greatly nerfed from what he can perform in canon. In this case, he can only use it on objects that are nonorganic and weighs less than five hundred pounds. A very blunt way of utilizing telekinetic shenanigans such as holding it aloft as a shield or speeding things along at high speeds. Level of control worsens greatly if it's not outright within a ten foot radius of Satan. He can also fire off the equivalent of Force Push as well to slam into people.

Teleportation: Also greatly nerfed from canon. He can jump to anyone that absolutely trusts him with all of their heart. Drains a hell of a lot of magic from him so usage in combat is all but unable except as a way to pop into help someone in trouble.

Hypnosis: Again yet another greatly nerfed ability. He can use it to convince powerless individuals or regular levels of will to not notice obvious disturbances to keep them safe from conflict or to erase traces of his appearances. It's more along the lines of the Men In Black amnesia device than outright brainwashing.

Forcefield Generation: You know the drill about nerfs by now. A dome shaped wall of magic that can tank several rounds of small arms fire or a sustained round from a machine gun. It is stationary, wastes a lot of magic, and naturally fades by itself in ten seconds. Alternatively, a buckler sized shield that is transportable and longer lasting can be used.

Sleep Spell: Good against super grievously injured/incredibly tired mooks or anyone that is naturally prone to falling asleep rather easily, not much good for anyone else.

Restoration: Fixes up any nonorganic matter to be good as new provided it's less than ten pounds. Wastes a lot of magic.

Glamour: Physically transforms him into a perfect likeness of his target appearance-wise, with the same overall mass as the target. Can only use a tiny fraction of other magics while in this state unless he dispells it. Steadily decreases magic at a noticeable rate.

Time Barrier: Instead of outright stopping time, it just slows down his perception of time so he can react faster. Maximum range of five seconds every hour, greatly draining in magic.

Combat Magic: Shoot off small beams and blasts of concentrated demonic energy that smashes things really good in a manner reminiscent of Nanoha or Negima styled full contact magic. Intensity and size of energy blasts increases the more magic is put into the attacks. Satan can also engulf his hands and feet in the energy to add an explosive impact to his melee attack as well as temporarily transform long and narrow objects into a giant demonic broadsword of incredibly dense metal to extend reach and impact/cutting damage.

Other: He plans to take over the world via working his way up from the bottom of part-timing.
Clarification Time

*Cagliostro's immortality works on a revival system, her current body has to completely cease functioning before she can craft a new one and no matter how injured she is, as long as the current body is still alive, she can't create a new one but has to focus on healing the old one. Her soul can easily be damaged by being out of the body for too long and thus needs to reside in the tiara to prevent dissipation of the ego. Any new bodies will be made in the general vicinity of the tiara for this reason.

*Her alchemy can only activate by being physically touched by her hand or having a magic circle projectile that's flung from her book to make contact with whatever she's attempting to modify for it to work. She can't reshape any material she doesn't personally know the composition of, and generally any such alchemy performed in this manner will be on a broad scale and not at all finely tuned. She can craft giant iron stakes or craft a rough throne out of stone for instance but if she wanted to do something like create a working firearm with all the fiddly bits, it'd take a lot more time and energy so using it in combat is moot. The only exceptions to these rules are her backup bodies and her Ouroborous homunculi.

*Her regeneration ability can potentially recraft lost limbs and organs, though it'd be a slow and painful process that'd take a few minutes to hours in general depending on what parts needs replacing and she'd need to transmute elements from her surrounding to replace the lost mass. The same goes for her general alchemy too. One can't craft something out of nothing after all due to the law of equivalent exchange.

*Cagliostro's physical limits though higher than average for someone of her age, is still ultimately human in nature whether it be strength, speed, or reflexes. Her mental endurance is much higher than average due to knowing pain that most people would never experience without actually dying many times over. All in all, one can simply overpower her quite easily and she has no sensor ability whatsoever so sneak attacks are one of her greatest weaknesses as well.
Cagliostro, The Founder of Alchemy


Gender: Female

Appearance: "I'm the cutest alchemist in the world!~"

Personality: Cagliostro might seem like a cute and bubbly young girl at first but that's mostly just an act that she uses to mess around with other people. In actuality a rather learned and haughty immortal alchemist with a few screws loose in her head, Cagliostro is someone who is hard to put up with if you aren't able to take on her various eccentricities.

Despite her willingness to use force and intimidation to get what she wants, the girl only wishes to be left alone or with people she can trust enough to let down her guard. Fear of betrayal is why she tries to get people annoyed with her so they wouldn't build bonds that would hurt all the more once they come to conflict, though those who are persistent can actually invoke feelings of tenderness and protection from the alchemist... not that she would say it of course.

Brief History: Two millennia in the past were a pair of siblings living in a backwater floating island that was so small that there weren't any village doctors. Born as a sickly young boy who was described to "never survive past childhood", the Cagliostro of back then relentlessly researched myriad branches with the help of his beloved sister, perusing both science and magic before coming up with a new profession altogether: "Alchemy". With the miraculous craft now in hand, the boy then separated his soul from his sickly mortal coil before generating a new one altogether (even if it was in the shape of a woman).

From that point on, Cagliostro made a name for herself as the Founder of Alchemy, being the first person ever to practice the art and the most knowledgeable researcher on the subject for rather obvious reasons- having even seeing a 'truth of the universe'. Sadly all good things came to an end and the girl was sneak attacked by those she had no guard against and sealed by the bloodline of her own sisters' descendants for one thousand years until broken out by the Grandcypher crew. Now tagging along for the adventure as well as to dodge the Helmuth Alchemist's Guild trying to reseal her, the crazy alchemist is having a merry old time with her resumed research and adventures until she was pulled into our earth....

Universe of Origin: Granblue Fantasy

Equipment: Her research tome full of personal notes and alchemy circles used to fire off her techniques, a cute dress, alchemic regents/equipment, a sewing kit, and the ornate golden headband in which her soul can reside safely without being dispersed.

Why is your character here? Because she enjoys learning about the unknown and forbidden.

Abilities: Cagliostro is a girl who has mastered Alchemy on an almost unprecedented scale, with her being forefront in multiple branches but especially adept in dealing with 'life' itself though she's no slouch in messing around with the chemical composition of stuff she's either personally touched or cast a transmutation circle on if they're far away (think throwing a glowing stamp on something). She can modify the flesh to turn adult men into small girls (though it takes a long while to do so on things with a soul so it's useless in combat), speed up or slow down air molecules to stimulate fire/ice into existence, make the earth jut outwards or inwards with great force such as sudden potholes/stone spikes, and induce decay and rot into organic beings/rust towards mechanical ones by firing them off in the form of a localized explosive orb that'll trigger upon contact with target, or rejuvenate allies by shunting lifeforce into them to causing their cells to repopulate/cause buffs by filling them with alchemical energies in the form of an adrenaline boost.

True to being an alchemist, Cagliostro is able to craft homonculi to an insanely great degree, artificial lifeforms birthed by the process of deconstruction and creation itself. It is in fact how she manages to craft all the young girl bodies she now inhabits. The bodies are created without a soul so her own can properly pilot the flesh incredibly easily and customized so as to be perfectly synchronized with her spiritual self.

Due to being very good at creating homonculi bodies out of other elements and lifeforce, she's very well versed in human biology due to hating feeling weak and infirm, making sure that the bodies under her control are strong and healthy so to that extent, it would not be surprising to see a little girl wave around a crucified serpent in one hand or drag throw a grown man around with the other. She's rather squishy due to not wearing any armor though her ability to regenerate wounds in minutes make that a moot point (nerfed to Doomslayer and Alex levels). Should her body ever get destroyed, her soul has to reconstruct a new one which can take a while if not prepared in advance, probably around a few hours. While the soul is outside of a living vessel, it is rather easily attacked by spiritual creatures/techniques as well as being unable to do anything to the physical world outside of body crafting.

Her summoned serpents meanwhile are battle-ready homonculi created both for intimidation and combat, able to smash through walls with ease and having powerful physical presence due to the fact they're giant floating snakes. She can modify her Ouroborous serpents as she wishes, making them grow bigger and stronger. They can also swallow objects bigger than themselves due to being giant serpents, with the biggest they can manage being something along the dimensions of an African elephant at their largest form. The red one can control flames and the blue one ice when she's using their more powerful forms, and both turn into sand when they're damaged enough or she can't control her alchemy due to being formed from the very earth itself.

By using the crystallized essence of Nigredo from the Gate of Helmuth (which is basically a Phiolosopher's Stone that had its incubation process cut short in the second out of sixth steps necessary to become fully fledged), Cagliostro can become Cagliostro (Dark). Besides having a different dress, in this form her body is composed of pure Nigredo essence and thus inherently dark aligned. Her speed, range, and power of alchemy techniques have increased somewhat as does her durability though it comes at the cost of being really weak to light attacks. Her Ouroborous summoned in this form are not formed of the earth but appear as solidified specters entirely though they can be damaged as normal and aren't intangible in the least.

Other: Cagliostro's thought processes and soul are so beyond mortal comprehension that she won't go mad from looking at eldritch things that would crush a normal person's mentality. She has also gleaned some of the truths of the universe itself which made her a different kind of mad then usual. A pure mental attack connecting the user's mind to Cagliostros that seeks to consume the self would just be crushed by such powerful ego and turn anyone that isn't used to forbidden knowledge to overload their brains and turn them into vegetables.

"Acknowledged. Naval battles are not something I'm proficient in so we must ensnare this woman before she can make her getaway." Continuing to fly about on telekinetic rifles with Master in her arms, the tryant smirked as she enjoyed the air blow past her from the fast momentum. Even more exhilarating then using horses to charge into an army that wasn't ready to fight really. "Anyways, I can see that we're close enough so... It is time to play the part of the villain once more. I love this part, kuahahaha!~"

Cackling madly as flames erupted about her person (while not harming Ai in the least), the awkward seeming duo reconfigured into a large blazing skeleton whose bones contained a black that was akin to the darkest of ashes. Their identity obscured by the effects of the Demon King Skill, both Master and Servant would make quite a splash as they appeared... and Demon Archer shot a scintillating red beam towards the ship in question, just close enough to ensure that it COULD hit with a second shot. Looming over the dragontooth warriors, the much more imposing skeleton then waved its hands as a rain of highly augmented anti-Mystery energy beams fell down from the sky to try to wipe out the mooks in a display of overall strength.

"Very well. If you're getting on then hold on tight, Master." Smirking even as she prepared her surprise of the day, the Servant would then grab hold of her Master in a bridal carry (if permitted) before jumping straight up into the air. Dematerializing her boots to reveal a pair of dainty feet, the woman would then suddenly materialize two flintlock rifles floating through whatever weird power held them against gravity's sway, locking onto the tubes with the space between her big toe and the rest of her feet's digits. It was an outright strange sight, seeing a raven haired woman of short stature using two rifles as an impromptu platform.

"I shall show you the splendid charging ability of the great DEMON ARCHER! ONWARD!" And then the two (if Ai decided to go along with this particular spectacle) would charge along into the distance, following behind the flying spellcaster's trail. Judging by the ridiculously evil grin pasted upon Nobunaga's face, it seemed like she was greatly enjoying herself thus far with her eccentricity. And of course, her great cape fluttered from the sheer momentum in question.
Demon Archer


Narrowing her eyes and letting loose a full salvo of red beams after the retreating Medea, the great warlord in the body of a small woman tsk'ed before glancing at the still clutching Master on her person. Slowly but steadily peeling off the suction-like girl with a calmness that bordered on professional and making sure to hold her up until she could actually move, the now glaring Demon Archer's crimson gaze throbbed with the glee of one that was on a hunt.

"Master, should we follow our prey posthaste? It would be ever so annoying if they were to escape into their burrow and hunker down... and we need both answers and reimbursement for her actions." The others could take care of holding down the fort, if they let their foe slip away, there was a chance she would simply just rebuild her forces and attack elsewhere anyways.
