[hider=Redemption] [b]Name:[/b] [color=92278f]Bonesword[/color] [b]Alias:[/b] [color=92278f][b]The Fungal Knight[/b][/color] [b]Race:[/b] Fungal Skeleton [b]Sex:[/b] Male. [b]Class:[/b] Chloromantic Swordsman [b]Equipment:[/b] [list] [*][color=92278f]The Shroomblade[/color] - A katana with a scabbard that matches the crown on Bonesword's head, and the very sword that Bonesword was born with. It's his most favored weapon. From his past, this blade had acquired the taste of demon blood, and while it isn't a holy weapon, it is more effective against the flesh of a demon. [*][color=7bcdc8]Religious Cutlass[/color] - A pale-cyan colored cutlass, found on a battle where the legendary swordsman faced against a deadly succubus. The cutlass is much like the Shroomblade, however it should be noted that it has the taste of holy blood instead. [*][color=black]Unleash[/color] - The final blade that the swordsman carries around, and the one that he's the most afraid of using. This is a jet-black longsword with a series of golden details embedded into the blade, and the only detail that Bonesword was given when he received it was that if he gave into his demonic instincts, he would be able to wreak havoc with this sword. [*][color=a7a7a7]Mechanical Armor[/color] - A set of lightweight yet resilient armor, minus the helmet, that has Machina inspirations. It'll take a hit, that's for damn sure.[/list] [b]Abilities:[/b] [list] [*][color=a7a7a7]Master Swordsman[/color] - Bonesword has perfected the way of the blade, and it really shows in his fights. [*][color=82ca9d]Chloromancy[/color] - A fancy way of saying he can manipulate plants. There aren't any plants that he finds favorable to use, but he does often use trees as a way of defense and cacti as a way to attack. [*][color=82ca9d]The Bloody Harvest[/color] - All plants that are nearby gain sentience, and will attempt to complete the task that they are given without a second thought. If a minion dies or completes a task, it loses the sentience. If no plants are around, several plants will grow within a very short period of time. It should also be noted that pumpkins are usually reserved for musical purposes, be it battle themes or distractions. [*][color=a7a7a7]Undeath[/color] - As long as Bonesword's skull stays intact, he retains his soul, and can still fight. If he has lost his body, he is able to take another skeleton's body as his own and use it just as good as the last one. While a skull, Bonesword is still able to use his Chloromancy, including Bloody Harvest, and the sentient plant is given the task of finding another body. It is limited to those two powers, however. [*][color=92278f]Enter : The Sharpswordsman[/color] - Bonesword can throw swordlike objects. or anything vaguely swordlike (sticks work). The thrown "swords" are incredibly accurate, and can do quite a hefty bit of damage if they land. [*][color=92278f]Honor Strike[/color] - Blaze any hostile enemies of demonic origin with a light of pure love and vengeance. Does not do damage to anyone holy, and does little damage to anyone unaffiliated. This ability can only be used in times where Bonesword is under extreme pressure and/or emotionally unstable.[/list] [b]Fighting Style:[/b] Defensively Merciful. Bonesword will stay on a defensive side for the majority of a combat session, and will not go on the offensive unless he knows that he can provide a damn strong offense. Bonesword will refrain from actually killing anybody unless he's in a frenzied state of mind. In a battle, Bonesword will not give the first attack no matter what, and is more than happy to watch the enemy as he sits there and sips on a bottle of whiskey. He does not find any enjoyment in a cheap opponent, and will often shift between being a one-handed master of swords to being a dual-wielding flurry of enamel. Even if he is dual wielding, he will never dual wield a sword with Unleash, as Bonesword believes that the black longsword should be used with two-hands. [hider=A few details on a few situations] [list][*]If the enemy is a ranged fighter, dash to the side and avoid their projectiles, then rush when they need to reload. [*]If the enemy is a big mass of destruction, stab it and hang on for your life. They'll try and hit you, and inevitably they will strike their own flesh. [*]If the enemy offers you mercy, you take that mercy and you leave. [*]If the enemy makes fun of your love, they do not deserve mercy and should be executed. [*]You cannot fly. Do not try to fly. [*]Stay defensive until you can actually dish out a hit, then go back to the defensive. [*]A good defense is a better offense, and should be treated as such. [*]Never underestimate your opponent.[/list][/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Bonesword is an alcoholic skeleton man who will never let up until the task is done. He longs to be reunited with his lover that was taken from him decades ago, and fights for the protection of humans until he is struck down and slain. It's important to note that, while Bonesword is alcoholic, he can never actually get drunk due to the lack of any actual organs in his system. [b]Bio:[/b][hider=Literally just gonna copypaste this here real quick...] 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 that was resistant of the Nexus' influence, eventually finding a human settlement where he attempted interaction. After the attempt, he 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 they were 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 lovers, 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 took 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] [b]Wish:[/b] Nobody knows why Bonesword actually wants to fight in this tournament, but many have believed that it is to regain the love of his life through this. [b]Echo:[/b] In a grassland area, far from the reaches of a civilization that is vastly more advanced, a grave is existing. This is the grave of Bonesword's lover. [b]Appearance: [/b][hider=Appearance][img]http://i.imgur.com/11uV6ey.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Frenzy:[/b] Succumbing to his temptations, Bonesword becomes something he has called "The Lord of Bones", and is not to be trifled with. Full power over all plants is granted, and typically Bonesword likes to create obstructions and trap his opponent before he strikes himself, armed with Unleash. During this phase, the demon's eye sockets glow bright with flashing purple and green lights, and has a black shadow covering the side of his mushroom crown. [b]Inventory:[/b] - Phylactery. - 46.
