[hider=Mushroom Skeleton][center] [h3][color=92278f]"I brought a knife to a gunfight, and I'm still gonna kick ass."[/color][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] Bonesword is all he goes by, and all he will respond to when asked about his name. [b]Title:[/b] [color=92278f]The Bonesword[/color] [b]Age:[/b] Unknown. [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Allegiance:[/b] Machina. [b]Race:[/b] Demon. [b]Height:[/b] 5'9". [b]Personality:[/b] A silent, brave, and valiant heroic type. He values loyalty over a fair amount of other traits, and he tends to fight very defensively and patiently. When [b]History:[/b] [hider] A long time ago, a single mushroom was growing in a forest. A purple mushroom, with green spots, and a very bone-like material as the stalk. Years later, a skeleton rose from the ground in that spot, his skull topped by the head of a mushroom, and his soul free. He began to roam the world, eventually finding a human settlement where he attempted interaction, and was hastily rejected due to his appearance being frightful. Saddened and discouraged, the skeleton roamed more, stumbling across a demon settlement, where they welcomed him as a brother. There he learned how to live for himself and how to care and defend people he loved. Eventually the demons were enraged at the humans, who slaughtered the livestock and burned down a forest. When the skeleton heard the demons were going to go and pillage the humans, the skeleton was glad to join in the endeavor, and marched onwards to go and kill the humans who insulted him so long ago. Once they were there, the demons slew all of the men in the settlement, leaving only the women and children captured. As the demons rejoiced in their victory, the skeleton couldn't help but feel remorse for what he did that day, how he killed those men, and what the demons were going to do to the women and children... Right before the unforgivable happened to those captured, the skeleton drew his sword in the name of justice, and defended the humans with all of his might. The amount of blood spilled that day was unforgettable and traumatic. The villagers did not know whether or not the skeleton wanted them all for himself or if he wanted to protect them, but either way they tried to slay him to avoid a bad situation in case of that. The skeleton fled, unwilling to hurt those humans, and returned to his life of roaming the lands in search of new people to meet. Many years passed, and the skeleton got tired of roaming and finished off his life of that, making a small shelter in a cave off in a forest. It was a bit later when a human child found him when he was roaming the world. Much to the skeleton's surprise, the child did not run from the demon, rather thought he was funny-looking and treated him like a friend. The skeleton felt a sense of companionship, something he had been without for a long time, and a bond unlike most others was formed, where the two treated eachother like brothers, and when the child's village was attacked, the skeleton came out of hiding and defended every single one of the humans in that village, not letting a single one perish from a demon's weapon. Every human but one, anyway. The child was slain by the brawniest, bloodiest, and most vile demon in the raid, who thought it would cripple the feelings of the skeleton and make him submit to the raiders. What followed that day was the first instance of an Honor Strike, and holy hell did it finish the raid. The skeleton was celebrated for his heroic actions by the humans, and was welcomed back into the village at anytime. When the dead child's funeral was had, the skeleton toon an oath. From that day on, he would defend mankind with his life, until either the day he died for good, or the day that mankind betrayed him again. Hopefully that doesn't happen for a long time. [/hider] [/center] [b]Powers:[/b] [list] [*] [color=92278f]Enter: the Sharpswordsman[/color] Throwing swords proves very useful if there are any around. Simply put, this ability allows for Bonesword to throw any sort of sword with incredible accuracy and power. For a visual explanation, think about how the sword throwing in [i]Superhot[/i] works. [*] [color=92278f]Bloody Harvest[/color] Bonesword animates sentient plant-life close to him, and whatever is animated is sworn to do whatever Bonesword desires until the task is completed or the animated dies. [*] [color=92278f]Undeath[/color] As long as the skull of Bonesword remains intact, his soul is still present and he is able to take another skeleton's body for himself, provided that a nearby plant is around to carry him to a new body anyway. [*] [color=92278f]Honor Strike[/color] One strike, empowered with the memories and feelings of brotherly love, is delivered to an enemy, greatly damaging them. Any and all demons tremble in the sight of this, and are blazed in a holy light, devastating them for near deadly amounts of damage. Catch is, Bonesword must be under insane amounts of stress to use this power. [/list] [b]Weapons:[/b] [color=92278f]The Shroomblade[/color] Crafted specifically for the use by Bonesword, this blade's scabbard replicates the mushroom head on Bonesword, and has proven it's near indestructibility. Throughout the years, it has acquired a taste for the blood of demons, and as a result, it has a potency against demons. [/hider] I may have left a small bit out, but I need to leave for a while so I can't fix it immediately. I'll be back in a few hours to make a final edit or two to this, so watch out for then. All feedback is appreciated though. edit: whoops sorry for that double posting.
