Used with her consent.[/i] [/center] _____________________________________________________________________________________ [b]Name:[/b] Daniel Palailogos [b]Title(s):[/b] Child of Chaldea (Self-given) [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Alignment:[/b] Neutral Good (self-termed) [b]Rank:[/b] Master [b]Purpose at Chaldea:[/b] Born into the organization and raised to believe in its goals. _____________________________________________________________________________________ [b]Command Seal:[/b] A Double-Headed Eagle. [b]Personality:[/b] Due to being born from a normally-forbidden union between Mage and Scientist, Daniel is loyal to Chaldea Security Organization because they accept him and his origins while the Mages’ Association and The Church would not. This loyalty plus the belief that Chaldea knows better than other associations makes him apt to arrogant behavior towards those who enter Chaldea from the Mages’ Association or from other organizations which know of the occult, an arrogance fueled by resentment at their prejudices and a desire to pre-empt them - Far better that others hate him on his terms, is his belief. Despite this, however, Daniel desires friendship like other people his age, and is quick to accept offers of it from people who successfully convince him that no, they’re not prejudiced pricks out to get him. He is especially receptive to people his age, although as a hormonal teenager attracted to both men and women, he finds it hard [i]not[/i] to rapidly develop feelings for the first cute person he sees. [b]Character Goal:[/b] Find something he values more than Chaldea and their vision of the ‘Greater Good’. [b]Bio:[/b] Daniel was born to two members of Chaldea Security Organization, a Mage and a Scientist, who would not have otherwise met if not for the reach of the group. Raised in a loving, but unorthodox manner, Daniel was taught the basics of both magic and science, of how the mundane and miraculous worlds worked. At the same time, however, it was drilled into him that his existence would be seen as an abomination by the Mages’ Association and that without Chaldea, he’d be killed gruesomely. This ensured that Daniel would see Chaldea as the only group which truly loved and understood him, confirming the boy’s loyalty. Note however that his parents did genuinely care for him, making sure that whenever there were children his age in the organization, that Daniel had a chance to interact and play with them, whether they were offspring of other Chaldea members, designer children made by the organizations’ experiments (the inhumane nature of those were kept secret from Daniel), or even outright homunculi. This taught Daniel not to be prejudiced at people who could not control their biological origins, while at the same time entrenching his dislike of those who would dictate the lives and deaths of those people based on being artificially-created. This suited Chaldea perfectly - It was true enough for Daniel’s consumption, after all. But despite Daniel’s loyalty, he cannot have the wool pulled over his eyes forever, and the boy slowly began to have an inkling as to Chaldea’s darker side. But despite this inkling, his loyalty was merely tempered with a realization that a society or organization does not have to be perfect in order to be worthy of loyalty - Because perfection didn’t exist, and flaws can be repaired or mitigated, including Chaldea’s. Besides, the Magus’ Association and the Church were far worse, right? --- [b]Magic Circuit Switch:[/b] (Optional) [b]Number of Magic Circuits:[/b] C [b]Quality of Magic Circuits:[/b] A --- [b]Elemental Affinity:[/b] Element is Fire, Origin is Convergence. [b]Magecraft:[/b] Stellar Alchemy - A form of Alchemy mixed with some elements of Astromancy which claim to distill the essence of the Stars, Moon, and Sun into potions which reflect some of the magical qualities of the celestial bodies. With this, one can make substances that explode into literal Starfire, drugs which induce Lunacy or Lycanthropy (or suppress the latter) or even grant oracular visions. Each individual 'recipe' for a potion takes different ingredients and procedures, as well as the light of the relevant celestial body (Sun, Moon, Stars) reflected into the compound as it is being brewed. Liquid Starfire needs the light of the sun focused into a clear bottle filled with alchemical compounds for six hours, while other types of potion need Moonlight or Starlight or specific planetary alignments focused on them for two to four hours in order to work. Daniel can theoretically make two Starfire potions and four bottles of other types if he works for 24 hours (and takes time to sleep while the potions absorb celestial light). Not just that, but given a large-enough clear container plus mirrors and other facilities, Daniel can make up to 4 gallons of any compound within those timescales. Second Magecraft: Heliocentric Astrology - Despite being thought of lesser ‘pedigree’ than the Geocentric Astrology used by the Animuspheres and their branch families, Heliocentric Astrology still has millions, maybe even billions, of believers across the world. Therefore Daniel uses this in order to confuse Magi who think little of the Heliocentric system and take them out through this blind spot, which is made easier by the fact that he’d be traveling to time periods where Heliocentric Astrology was unknown at all. In order to access such power, Daniel uses his third Mystic Code, the Planetarium Orb, to simulate planetary alignments and other celestial phenomena and draw from their inner meanings. [b]Crest:[/b] Seven Generations. [b]Mystic Codes:[/b] Chaldea Master Uniform - A Mystic Code that allows for the use of pre-installed Magic Spells at the cost of the User's energy. These spells allow for the healing of minor wounds and injuries using small amounts of the user's mystic 'prana', and also the increase of one's capabilities to that of an Olympic-level athlete. The uniform has also been modified with a ‘Utility Belt’ which contains ration bars, water, and ‘cartridges’ filled with compressed alchemical compounds (see below). Of the latter, there are 4 containers of Liquid Starfire, 4 containers of Healing Potions, 2 containers of Precognitive Compounds and 2 containers of ‘miscellaneous’ concoctions. Alchemic Blaster - The Alchemic Blaster looks like a Toy Pistol from all outward observation, thus causing a double measure of contempt from Magi who already hate technology. However, the Alchemic Blaster does not fire bullets, but rather a liquid explosive which contains alchemical compounds along with mundane chemicals. The alchemical compounds, in contact with air, transform the liquid explosive into something resembling stellar fire which dissolves magical and mundane protection alike. Basically, a squirt gun that fires fireballs using alchemy. Note that if the Alchemic Blaster is sufficiently cleaned-out, it can fire other, more beneficial compounds at people, such as healing potions and strengthening elixirs, as well as sleeping draughts and poisons. Ammunition-wise, the Alchemic Blaster works by having ‘cartridges’ filled with the relevant alchemical compound (good for 3 - 6 ‘squirts’) loaded into the pistol’s stock, where a set of motion-powered pumps, enhanced by tiny engraved modern runes, then shoots out the compound at a speed and range that fits an actual gun better than a toy one. Planetarium Orb - A small globe of pure crystal containing a replica of the Heliocentric Solar System, including the Sun, Planets, asteroid belt and Dwarf Planets inside it. When subjected to a flow of prana, the component parts of the Planetarium move according to their established orbits, with Daniel able to shift them into specific alignments or access the powers of any planet, including those which cannot be seen from the visible eye (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto).
