[hider=Irish Monster Master]Name/Title: Wiros Murchadha [b]Gender: [/b]Male [b]Age: [/b]28 [hider=Appearance] [img]https://imgur.com/4MNwUlR.png[/img][/hider] [b]Family History:[/b] Sometimes there are enemies beyond mankind’s ability to fend off and defeat. Sometimes there are heroes that rise to come forth and bring salvation against those who are beyond humanity. Sometimes humanity must craft their weapons themselves and reject those who are outsiders. The tale of the British Isles is one seeped in blood, death and glory. Fighting among themselves, man against man, neighbor against neighbor. Yet ultimately the tale that resonates the most in the isles is the struggle against those who are alien and those who are foreign. The Picts, the Romans, the Saxons, the French, the World. There are times when people pray for a hero. There are times when people pray to the gods. And there are times when people create their own salvation. Just as a certain king created a perfect ruler beyond humanity, a dragon in the form of a king to protect and rule a Utopia, so too did a clan of druids craft themselves into weapons. The blood of a sea beast, the blood of a monster. To protect people they made a terrible pact and transformed themselves into beings that were different and beyond. The blood of the Curruid runs in the veins of the Murchadha, just like how a certain eastern family holds the blood of Oni in their lineage. The Curruid was chosen due to the circumstances of its death, fighting against another monster, the Curruid. They fought for their lords, they fought against vikings, they fought against the alien Picts, they fought against the monsters that lurked within the lands. Mysteries to kill mysteries, monsters to kill monsters, men to kill men. Yet such blood held a price and sometimes those who were meant to protect were driven mad by their blood and became the enemies of man to replace those they slew. Despite such tragedies and madness inherit to those humans who take on the blood of monsters the Murchadha survived as a clan into the modern day. A naturally secluded clan, they have taken to living separate from modern society and now live both as monster hunters, and druids. [hider=His Info][b]Biography:[/b] Wiros grew up, the Murchadha blood strong in him due to his origin. In his youth the struggle against his inversion impulse was painful, but the discipline, knowledge and stories of old his family taught him gave him the will and desire to hold onto himself. Being a child who should not have to struggle to maintain his own will and self he found himself having to develop a foundation of steel to cling to. For him it was admiration, for him it was desire. Ah how wonderful the tales of old were, how wonderful his elders were. How beautiful they were in their abilities, how beautiful the stories of heroes were… How thrilling the idea of conquering enemies. The dream of the deathbattle against the Coinchenn that haunts all Murchadhas were especially vivid in him, driving him to hunger for strife. Much of his early life was spent under watch and developing a self that could restrain himself and keep reason. As he grew he felt restless, for reasons more than simply his mixed blood. He wished to live a life beyond the clan enclave. Recognition, distinction. He wished to live in the world where not everyone was the same as him. So heeventually left his clan to see the rest of the world. What was first wandering and exploring like a freshly uncaged bird, or a graduating college student who wished to explore themselves further became an eventual engaging in the business of the Mage Association. He took up work as a Freelancer initially, finding that the work and bounties that he could get provided him with goals and direction instead of an aimless wandering across the world. As he grew more experienced and made more of a name for himself he eventually became an Enforcer, joining the ranks of the rare few who are counted as the arms of the Clock Tower. Fighting against heretical magi, fighting against monsters, traveling the world. He found himself i a life he enjoyed, a life that tested him. A life that rewarded him and took care of his needs, a special sort of reputation. Yet he could not find sight of his purpose. Eventually he heard of a far off ritual in the east. A battle where one could summon a star of man for a wish. For one who fought monsters to prove himself, to overcome them. For one who left his home to see the world. For one weaned off the temptation for madness through admiration and desire it was a striking possibility. This was the path to his purpose. Procuring a catalyst and finding himself with the Mark of the Chosen he journeyed to Fuyuki City. He wishes to see himself become a coral that the moon reflects. If the heroes of old propelled his family and guided his own growth, then coming to this conflict known as the Grail War he wishes to become the anchor and strength of a hero. Together they will win. He will use a hero who slays monsters to slay the monster within him and stay human. Together he will become a coral that becomes a second moon. Yes, he will become a hero. [b]Personality:[/b] A person who wishes to see the world. A person who wishes to live. A person who wishes to chase after all the things that exist. A person who wishes to stay himself. A person who wishes to grasp at the stars that shine down upon the coral in the ocean. The Murchadha exist for heroes are not always there. The shine of the Coral under the moon, a bright light that illuminates the darkness is nothing compared to the stars that illuminate the dark of the vast void in the sky. What is heaven but a vaster ocean filled with lights that shine brighter than the sun? Yes, in a sense the monstrous Murchadha are but a pale imitation on earth compared to the heroes in the sky. But it is okay to reach anyway, isn’t it? The moon in the night sky is mirrored in the surface of the lake. They push forth because they know that monsters can be defeated. If not by ordinary men then by those who exceed humanity. Heroes are those who break their limits to reach such heights, and the Murchadha were those who embraced a power inhuman to reach such heights. Because heroes defeated monsters it showed that humanity can overcome monsters, even if in contradiction they are no longer humans to do so. Guided by the stories of heroes and his ancestors. He wishes to carve his own path in life, and remain as a person. Despite his strong blood he has remained sane with the help of his clan’s druidic teachings, supplements and his own force of will due to his admiration of the human condition and those who have broke their limits. If he cannot do something as simple as remain himself, then how can he ever challenge his limits, let alone break through them? A person who enjoys fighting, a person who enjoys the frivolous things in life. A person who wishes to become an echo as loud as the past it traces. In a way he seems like a lackdaisy person who’ll accept any results, but secretly he is pretty competitive and a sore loser who’ll try to find a way to even the scales and pull a victory somehow if someone pulls ahead. He is a coral, built on longing for the moon. [/hider] [hider=Magecraft/Supernatural Abilities and Tools] [b]Origin:[/b] Echo [b]Elemental Affinity:[/b] Water. [b]Number of Magic Circuits:[/b] D [b] Quality of Magic Circuits :[/b] A [b] Od: [/b]A [b]General Magecraft:[/b] As one who received an education that befits a druid and magus, Wiros is capable of the usual and basic magecraft of a modern magus. [b]Druidic Teachings:[/b] The wisdom of the Druids. This includes medicine, and the ability to utilize the magic crest-type spellcasting of nordic origins, runes. However his talents are primarily that of a warrior, so his Druidic talents are mainly in terms of that which helps him track prey, that which helps him hide from prey, and that which helps him sustain himself. The greatest arts of Druids are beyond him. [b] Water Magecraft: [/b]Both because of his affinity and because of the blood of the Curruid Wiros is able to exhibit magecraft of physical interference with water as a medwhium with talent. However as it is not his focus he cannot exhibit the levels of a genius in it. Indeed what makes him special is not his magecraft, but rather that which flows from his blood and manifests as an ability beyond mankind. [b]Feincuan Craiceann Corail: (Skeletal Coral Growth That Rises From The Ocean)[/b] The ability that manifests from his mixed blood. The ability to manipulate and induce growth of his skeletal structure. His skeletal structure itself holds the properties of the Curruid, becoming a powerful defense that makes his body much more robust than most modern men could dream of. In his hands it is a powerful blade and armor. However it is difficult to manipulate something that is more than 30% of his total skeletal mass with high precision and adaptability. So it is often that he will set the growth and manipulation of his skeletal system beforehand, relegating his usage of this ability as smaller scale responses as needed. If he pushes himself he can go as far as covering most of his body in an armor of bone like an exoskeleton. It can be compared to the ability of manipulating the body that a certain rabid beast who was once the heir to an Eastern Family has. His bones are armor that repel blows and can even repel magic. In function it is similar to an anti-magic amulet, providing a defense along the lines of D rank Magic Resistance. But his flesh is still vulnerable, and so blows that manage to pierce through his exceptional defense will still harm him. No matter how hard the shell his flesh is that of a man. Thanks to the power of this ability, and his own innate power due to his blood he is a combatant who has managed to defeat Dead Apostles before. [b]Equipment: [/b] [b] Blossoming Purity of Yew:[/b] Special drugs derived from the fruit of the Yew Tree made by the Murchadha As medicine it is a "death' to ones plagues, purifying the body by surging out the impurities in one's body. It can alternatively be used as a poison that amplifies impurities. Another use for it by the Murchadha is to either stifle their raging blood, or to amplify and tap into the power of their inhuman blood even further for a temporary amount of time. However this second function comes with stress and if taken too far will indeed cause an inversion impulse that will turn one completely into an insane beast. [b] Yew Spear: [/b]Following the principles of the Yew Medicine, the weapon of choice for the Murchadha is a Yew Spear. A spear that acts also as a staff. It is an amplifier for those whose abilities are able to enact outside interference, and otherwise serves as a focus for their magecraft like a staff. Being a base which causes the impure monster blood of Wiros to be amplified, it forms the powerful base of a bone-blade with his own talent. The yew is a tree that guides one to the underworld, the yew is a tree of death. What better wood to craft into a weapon? In a way this holds some relations with the Touzaki Clan’s creation of weapons through their own bodies and talents. However in this case the Yew Spear is the foundation upon one’s self is laid upon. [/hider] [hider=Skills] [b]Martial Training: [/b]Skilled with a blade and spear. As a warrior Wiros is well trained, tested and talented. While he is not a monster who can be called a master of masters, he is without a doubt a fine combatant. [b]Murder Impulse:[/b] When faced with non-human foes, the Murchadha’s instinctive drive to kill them kicks in. While Wirosis a deadly combatant as it is, once the instinctive drive is active, he is drawn more into the blood of the Curruid within him as it boils to exert dominance upon other beasts. The beast who fought the Coinchenn, the beast who killed the Coinchenn, the beast who died to the Coinchenn. It must win, it must not die. So it will kill its own kind. A monster will kill a monster. [b]Cooking:[/b] Slice of Life Cooking Scenes are important. Otherwise derived from his druidic training and his own life of travel. He’s learned to cook for his own tastes, and to cook in ways that invigorate him after using lots of energy in his adventures and battles. It’s very important to have one’s diet reflect one’s life and needs![/hider] [/hider]
