[hider=Desmond] [color=crimson]Name:[/color] [h3]ƊЄƧMƠƝƊ "ƬӇЄ ƇƦƖMƧƠƝ ƦЄƛƤЄƦ"[/h3] [color=crimson]Age:[/color] 22 [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/rQw3aQ9.jpg[/img][/center] [color=crimson]Appearance:[/color] Desmond's appearance very much is indicative of his relative youth compared to more senior demons. His routine shaving of any facial hair that sprouts on his face also assists in keeping up this appearance. Rich, black hair is constantly being cut to a short length but other than that his hair is not styled in any particular fashion. Desmond is hardly expressive so most of the time he holds a deadly serious look to him. This is accentuated by the striking crimson colored eyes he possesses, the color resembling deep pools of blood. He is considerably tall at 6'2", standing above most of his compatriots. This height is accompanied by a slim frame but muscular frame, usually hidden by Desmond's preference of longer clothing...which consists almost entirely of red and black colors. The specific reason for his preference of longer clothing is the numerous scars that run over the course of his body. The ones on the chest have been somewhat covered by tattoos but the scars on his legs and arms are clearly visible when wearing shorter clothing. When he does show his demon wings, there is one missing from his set of two. [color=crimson]Evil Piece:[/color] [h3]ƘƝƖƓӇƬ[/h3] [color=crimson]Familiar:[/color][hider=ЄƊƓƛƦ][img]https://i.imgur.com/rNQnvje.jpg[/img][/hider] A raven black as Desmond's hair, Edgar came to Desmond by landing on his right shoulder when it was his time to receive a familiar. Edgar serves as Desmond's third eye, giving him additional situational awareness and alerting him to dangers when in combat. Edgar's greatest asset however is his ability to transform into a swarm of identical Ravens that can obscure or interfere with Desmond's opponent. The greatest number Edgar has been observed transforming into was one-hundred ravens. [color=crimson]Magic:[/color] [list] [*][color=crimson]Pyrokinesis[/color] A majority of Desmond's magic involves the manipulation of fire, everywhere from imbuing his sword with flame or shooting fire bolts. His control over his kind of magic is absolute. [list][*][color=crimson]Black Flame:[/color] Desmond's final trump card if he is in a dire situation. A wreath of black flame with golden edges envelops Desmond, increasing his phsyical abilities by great amounts and providing more powerful versions of his spells. Unlike his normal fire magic, Desmond has very little control over this. Once activated, it is difficult for him to turn it off and will shortly kill him if on for too long. [/list] [*][color=crimson]Shadow Dash:[/color] Black shadows wash over Desmond's form allowing him to near-instantly move in any direction several feet, appearing as teleportation to those whose vision is not up to par. If used to often, Desmond will become highly disoriented and unsteady [*][color=crimson]Minor Regeneration:[/color] A result of his father's experimentation, Desmond is able to heal his wounds a lot faster naturally and often will not need to be healed. The healing costs him energy and takes a few minutes to properly seal a wound. [*][color=crimson]One-Winged Flight:[/color] Despite missing an entire wing, Desmond has learned to live with it. A constant, rigorous training allowed him to fly just as well as if he had two. [*][color=crimson]Phase:[/color] An ability that Desmond very much despises having for the feeling he gets after using it, Phase allows Desmond to very briefly make his body intangible to psychical objects After use, he gets a incredible headache and in a few rare cases throws up [list] [*][color=crimson]Phase Touch:[/color] A technique that allows Desmond to use Phase on objects or people. His grasp of this ability is at the moment very inconsistent[/list] [*][color=crimson]Blood Shield[/color] Perhaps by far Desmond's most grisly magic spell, Blood Shield is something he gained through his father's experimentation. Simply put, It allows him crystallize nearby pools of blood and charge it with magic to make it into a strong, yet brittle armor. [list] [*]Blood Weapon: An extension of Blood Shield, this spell turns the blood into a crude weapon instead. It maintains the same brittleness as Blood Shield, and is hardly an substitute for normal weapons. [/list] [/list] [color=crimson]Skills:[/color] [list] [*][color=crimson]Tactician[/color] Despite his young age, Desmond is an expert on reading the battlefield and coming up with a plan to win. Off the battle-field, he is also good at figuring out the most best solution towards navigating an obstacle or puzzle. [*][color=crimson]Observant:[/color] Anything that seems out of the ordinary will likely be picked up by Desmond, whether it has to with the surroundings or another person. For this reason, he is secretly a bit of a clean freak. [*][color=crimson]Endurance:[/color] Nothing to do with his defense, Desmond can last a lot longer doing strenuous activities without it affecting his overall performance. [/list] [color=crimson]Sacred Gear:[/color] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/aa/48/93/aa489341ebb02459727738933d5bbc55.jpg]ƛƤƤԼЄ ƠƑ ЄƊЄƝ[/url] The Apple of Eden, at least named by his Father, is a obvious reference to the apple of knowledge that both Eve and Adam ate from and as a result loss their grace with God. Before Desmond's fight and escape from his father, Lucius believed he had crack the puzzle that was this Sacred Gear. Now unknowingly combined with Desmond, it is a dangerous weapon if used by an untrained individual. When activated, the Apple of Eden grants the user knowledge of a large list of potentially destructive and dangerous spells. This takes an incredible toll on the user's body and would outright kill a normal human if used, normally preventing any kind of advanced movement. There is a secondary effect evidenced in Lucius's notes that suggests it can briefly take the user to a 'advanced form' in reference to Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. [color=crimson]Bio:[/color] Desmond has suffered a lot in the short period of time in which he was alive. He was born to two high-level devils named Lucius and Malaya, the only child they ever conceived together. His childhood was mostly good considering how everything would later turn out, as his father was a brilliant scholar and warrior while his mother was a outstanding mage. Lucius never spoke of what he had done in the war between the angels, fallen angels, and devils but neither did his mother. While his mother tried to teach him more powerful forms of magic, it was in sword-play that Desmond truly excelled. Everything changed however when his father obtained a strange and ancient device, even for divine beings. It appeared to be an ornate sphere of intricate design, the gears visible along the surface indicated there was a mechanism to unlock it. Lucius became convinced that it contained some kind of immense power of unknown design....and he was right. Desmond soon became the victim of Lucius's obsession as he tried to create a vessel that would be able to withstand combining with it. Through countless hours of torturing training, Desmond became a cold-hearted soldier of destruction. Lucius would often send his perfect soldier off to hunt down rogue devils as a test to see how far Desmond progressed. It was never enough however and soon scars began to build on Desmond's body, unable to be healed by even his talented mother. Malaya could not stand seeing Desmond being put through these punishing ordeals and confronted Lucius. The aftermath of their conflict was bloody with Lucius standing over the corpse of his mother. That was the first time Desmond activated his black flame and attacked Lucius, managing to severely wound him before having to flee. Once he reached the human realm, he was attacked by opportunistic fallen angels because unknown to him Lucius's experiment had succeeded. Utilizing the last of his energy fighting with his Black Flame, he managed to defend himself until Alice and her household arrived. Shortly after they secured the area, Desmond collapsed where he stood having been drained of life by the Black Flame. Desmond pledged his upmost loyalty to Alice upon his revival as her knight, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her.
