Silas

[Character]

Theme Song: Bastille- Icarus

Name: Silas Wolfram
Gender: Male
Age: 200+
Race: Human

Appearance: Tall- a hair over six feet tall, in fact- and slender, granting him a willowy appearance that belies his strength. His posture is very relaxed, though careful watchers can note an undercurrent of tension, as though he’s ready to spring at any time. Short, shaggy blonde hair adorns his head over hard, angular features. His eyes are green, and he usually has a shade of stubble on his face. Usually wears a black longcoat over dark-colored or grey clothing, in contrast to the Sages’ usual attire.

Faction: Lumen Sages

Personality: Silas can come across as naive and childish due to his unrelenting optimism, even in the face of the worst adversities. Despite this demeanor, he is not one to be trifled with- Silas is driven, perhaps to a fault, to succeed in whatever goals he sets for himself, and he has the tactical and analytical mind to achieve almost anything he sets his mind to. While he prefers diplomacy and communication over combat, that’s not to say he isn’t good at it- when pushed, Silas is relentless in battle, flanking, feinting, and forcing his opponents further and further into the snare of his strategic expertise.

Bio

Bio:

“My friends have always been there, for as long as I can remember.”

---

Silas was born in Germany in the early 19th century, and had a fairly standard childhood growing up, with one exception- his “friends.” Even from a young age, Silas could see and converse with angelic beings that no one else could see. They called themselves by lots of interesting names- Applaud, Fearless, Beloved- and came in all different shapes and sizes. His family and “real” friends all tried to convince him that such things were in his head, a product of his overactive imagination, but Silas had seen the angels do things to the real world- move objects, leave marks of their passing, and the like. He knew they were real- he just didn’t understand why no one else could tell that they were.

Over time, Silas’ rapport with his “friends” grew ever stronger- some were even fitting of their name, being intensely loyal and protective of him. Two in particular, a Fearless and Fairness, grew very close, almost never leaving his side. Some were trickier to converse with than others, but in the end, his friends would almost always listen to him.

As he was not shy about speaking of his “friends,” Silas became an outcast amongst his peers, who believed him delusional. Were it not for the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Silas might have even believed he was. He didn’t care, either way- he preferred the company of angels to people, anyway. At the age of 18, however, Silas was approached by a strange man in gold and white garb. He believed in Silas’ friends as well, even claimed that he could see them, too. He claimed that Silas had power- power that even the man, as knowledgeable as he seemed, could only guess at. Power that the man claimed he could help Silas unlock, if he would only come with him. Intrigued, Silas took the man’s offer.

In that moment, Silas’ life had now changed forever. The man, named Father Roderick, guided Silas on the path of becoming a Lumen Sage, teaching him to use his gifts to protect and serve the interests of the society. He learned of reaching across the veil, and calling his friends to his side, wherever he may be. He learned powers of magic, of commanding weapons and tools, even power over time itself. He was told of a great war that had nearly driven people like himself and Roderick extinct, destroying the powers of light forever, and how grateful Roderick was to have found him.

Over time, Roderick gathered others like themselves- those who answered the call of Heaven, who wielded the might of Laguna, and conversed with its denizens- until where once there was merely two, there were now dozens. Roderick claimed that the time had come once again, for them to step once more into the light, and take hold of the destiny that the Sages had held once before.

And so, Silas, alongside Father Roderick, helps to lead his order into the new world, their champion of light against a world filled with darkness.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities:

• Alpha Wolf- Silas Wolfram lives up to his namesake well- Silas has an unusual degree of affinity with the beings of the Hierarchy of Laguna, even amongst his fellow Lumen Sages, giving him a greater degree of control over and capability to communicate with them.
• Kazfiel and Sraosha- A Fairness and Fearless, respectively, who are always by Silas' side, they serve as scouts, weapons, and companions all at once. Being Laguna, they are typically invisible to anyone who cannot access Purgatorio, or otherwise sense them naturally.
• Illumination- Like all Lumen Sages, Silas draws his powers from the sun and light, and grows stronger and healthier the more light- especially natural sunlight- is in the area, though he can still be formidable without it.
• Firebrand Trigger- A power gifted to Silas by the Charred Council, Silas pulls forth his rage and determination to transform his body into a form of magma and volcanic rock, increasing his strength and durability for the duration of the transformation. While this form is strong already, it seems to possess yet-untapped potential, waiting to be discovered...

Styles

Styles:

• Three Ring Circus [LV1]- A slow but devastating style, Silas calls upon his angelic familiars to rend the opposition. At the most basic level, Silas can call upon his two “hounds”- Kazfiel and Sraosha- in battle, as well as other Third and Second Sphere angels.
  
  • LV2- Silas can call more powerful angels into battle, even up to and including First Sphere angels. Kazfiel and Sraosha are inspired to even greater power by Silas’ mastery.
  • LV3- Not even the Cardinal Virtues can resist Silas’ call- at level 3, he can call forth the limbs, powers, and even full forms of the Sequi and even Auditio themselves, for a time.

• Sword Juggler [LV1]- Silas commands the facets of his weapon, Pleiades, with his will alone, sending flying blades careening at the opposition from any angle. At the most basic level, Silas can command Pleiades in its basic form and move with deft quickness, even in midair.
  
  • LV2- Silas can alter the physical properties of Pleiades’ facets, including their size, granting him greater mobility through having him actually ride and dance along his oversized blades.
  • LV3- Silas can split Pleiades into yet more blades and fragments, assaulting the opposition with an unstoppable storm of metal. In addition, Silas can now fly under his own power.

Equipment

Equipment:

• Pleiades [LV1]- Seven golden swords that Silas can materialize and telekinetically control at will, the blades were forged by Silas himself, binding him to them, and preventing them from being moved under any power but his own. Pleiades’ blades are all part of a singular weapon and purpose- to use one without the others is impossible.
  
  • LV2- Gains access to more powerful attacks, and can materialize the blades from almost anywhere.
  • LV3- Silas can imbue the weapon with his divine powers, allowing the blades to take on a variety of elemental properties.

• Polaris [LV1]- A revolver that fires shards of eldritch energy at foes, rather than bullets.
  
  • LV2- With a charged shot, Polaris can fire a large sword made of eldritch energy at foes, dealing far more damage than a normal, uncharged shot.
  • LV3- Polaris' shots now pierce whatever they strike, before exploding with great force after a brief delay.

Techniques

Techniques:

• Basic Powers
  
  • Applause!- Silas briefly conjures angelic wings in order to right and readjust himself in the air as a recovery move
  • Light Speed- Silas can slow time to a crawl in an area around him for a short period before being struck, allowing him to counter his enemies with ease.
  • Beast Within- A Lumen Sage can change their body’s shape into that of any number of animals. Relatively inexperienced, and with his skills focused elsewhere, Silas has access only to the Wolf Within form, which rapidly increases his movement speed.

• Three Ring Circus
  
  • Lion Tamer- Kazfiel and Sraosha charge the enemy in a cross formation, tearing through them.
  • Tug o’ War- Kazfiel and Sraosha catch the enemy in their jaws, rending smaller enemies to pieces and encumbering larger opponents.
  • World’s Strongest Man- Silas summons the form of a Beloved to launch an enemy into the air with a titanic blow.

• Sword Juggler
  
  • Knife Thrower- Silas fires the blades of Pleiades at the enemy in succession.
  • Dervish Dance- Silas dashes at the enemy while rapidly spinning Pleiades’ blades in a circle around him, slashing at the enemy
  • Golden Banner- Silas strikes with sweeping blows using all of Pleiades’ blades in an arc.

Father Roderick

[Character]

Name: Father Andrew Roderick
Gender: Male
Age: 600+
Race: Human

Appearance: In a word, big. Father Roderick is a towering man, almost seven feet tall, broad-shouldered, barrel chested, and generally physically imposing in all ways. He has a distinguished look about him, square jawed with short, dark grey hair and neatly-trimmed beard framing cold blue eyes. He’s usually dressed in white suits, when wearing the traditional Lumen garb would be conspicuous.

Faction: Lumen Sages

Personality: Strong-willed, determined, zealous- all of these are words used to describe Father Roderick. A strong leader, he cares deeply for the Sages who work alongside him, as a father cares for his children. While he generally gives off a calm, caring demeanor, there is a fire underneath the surface- an unquenchable will to achieve his goals, no matter the cost. Beware, all who come between this man and his goals- either stand with him, or be swept aside.

Bio: Before the Clan Wars, Roderick was just like any other Lumen Sage- a peaceful servant of the balance between light and dark, Lumen and Umbra. A bit zealous, perhaps. Maybe even dangerously so, sometimes. But he was happy in his assumed role. Happy to be a soldier, for the sake of humanity.

And then came the great betrayals, one right after the other. The Clan Wars, in which so many of his fellow Sages perished. The Witch Hunts, in which the daughters of darkness died in such great numbers. All of the death and destruction, in which more and more of the magic of the world was taken away. Roderick witnessed it all, breaking a little more with every death, with every bit of wonder that left the world forever.

He wandered for a long time after the Wars, believing himself to be the only one left of his kind, aside from the Exile. He spent much of his time hiding, trying to avoid the gaze of Father Balder, desperate to preserve some of the history of how the world once was. He was convinced it was how he would spend the rest of his existence- nothing but scrambling and hiding and running for cover at the first sign of danger.

All of this changed when he met Silas Wolfram- a boy with powers like his own, like that of all Lumen Sages. And a little more magic came back into the world. Once more, Roderick’s life had purpose again. And he would put that purpose to good use. He would find more, more like them, more with their powers and abilities. He would revive the old contracts, the old codes. He would return the world to how it once was. Perhaps even make it better.

He would be a soldier for Heaven once again. No matter what it took.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities:

• Immaculate Being- Father Roderick has considerable control over divine energy, even being able to reinforce his own body with such powers, to an extent that most Lumen can only dream of achieving.
• Illumination- Like all Lumen Sages, Roderick draws his powers from the sun and light, and grows stronger and healthier the more light- especially natural sunlight- is in the area, though he can still be formidable without it.
• Beast Within- A Lumen Sage can change their body’s shape into that of any number of animals, for the purposes of traversal or infiltration, in some cases. Roderick can take the form of a wolf, an eagle, and other such shapes for various purposes.

Style

Style:

• Arcturus [LV3]- Channeling divine power into his body, Father Roderick reinforces his physical attributes, giving his blows the strength to crush any who oppose the Lumen cause. At this level, Roderick becomes an avatar of divine wrath, surrounded by a corona of holy flame that burns all who approach. He moves faster than the eye can follow, his strength can shake the very earth, and he is nigh impregnable to any assault on his person.

Equipment

Equipment:

• The Gauntlets [LV3]- while the name of these weapons are somewhat of a misnomer, no one can deny their effectiveness. A pair of white gloves, inscribed with golden Laguna runes on the palms, these act as foci for Roderick’s considerable stores of divine energy, allowing him to direct and harness his powers as he sees fit. At this level, the Gauntlets can shape divine energy into constructs such as weapons, granting him further versatility in battle. In particularly heated moments, the Gauntlets can take on the form of their namesake, cloaking Roderick’s arms in golden armor and further increasing his already significant powers.

Techniques

Techniques:

• Basic Powers
  
  • Steadfast- Roderick is nearly implacable by any means of force- while he still takes damage, he is almost impossible to move beyond the most dramatic of impacts.
  • Light Speed- Roderick can slow time to a crawl in an area around him for a short period before being struck, allowing him to counter his enemies with ease.

• Arcturus
  
  • Comet- A dashing punch, infused with divine light. Has incredible horizontal speed and range.
  • Meteor Shower- Roderick reinforces his hands with divine energy before launching a series of three heavy strikes. Generally used just after Comet.
  • Orion- A titanic uppercut that launches the opponent
  • Aurora Borealis [LV2]- A focused beam of divine destruction fired from Roderick’s hands, that can be fired in any direction. At level 2, Roderick can charge this technique to fire a continuous, directed beam for a few seconds.
  • Nebula- Roderick stomps the ground, raising a wave of divine fire in a small area around him.

• The Gauntlets
  
  • Cygnus- A finishing move where Roderick forms a greatsword out of divine light, then smashes it down on the opponent.
  • Septentriones- Roderick forms explosive orbs of light that slowly home in on the opponent and detonate on them.

I'm like 80% sure Hero got the name from the FE Silas

also I agree cyrus is like 200% cooler

@Sen

Actually, Silas is a name I've been using for characters since I was still in high school. Though, I suppose there's not much I can do to convince you of that. I just like the name.

Persona - The True Self

Which Silas are we talking about?

@Haru Nyan

I have a character named Silas in another RP I'm doing. I was filling out his CS at the same time I was writing the post in question.

Cross-over confirmed?

FUCK.

Fix'd.

==~==

As Mako browsed the shelves, he caught a glance of movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned to see a girl with black hair, with bangs that hung down in her eyes, was looking at him strangely. He raised an eyebrow, which only raised higher when the girl flinched at something, then began walking briskly away, book clutched in her hands desperately, like she was afraid he- or someone- might steal it from her. Mako blinked, momentarily confused. Did he offend her in some way? Had they met before, perhaps, and he had demonstrated a remarkable lack of tact or something? Maybe she was just shy?

Hmm. She seems familiar, somehow. I just can't place where from. Mako wandered after the girl, who was making a beeline for the cashier. Unfortunately, it seemed the register was temporarily unattended- the cashier must have stepped in the back or something. Mako shrugged internally, walking over to the girl, clearing his throat to announce his presence.

"Excuse me. I, ah, couldn't help but notice you seemed... disconcerted. Are you all right?" he asked tentatively.
