Henry snarled at Sliske until Victoire arrived, at which point an indifferent expression crossed his face. "He started it." With that being said he tapped on a button on his sleeve and a set of gills opened on his neck. He walked into the ocean calmly, noting the bloody water along with accompanying roses, and dived in. He flexed his gills experimentally and nodded to himself in satisfaction when he discovered they worked. Henry then began thinking on the nature of the battle and capturing territory. A bit complicated for his tastes, but he would follow orders and smite his foes. With that thought he swam towards Victoire who had inserted herself in the middle of the ocean. An investment in body altering artifacts would be sound, he needed the ability to shift his body for situations like this. Henry reached Victoire and Sliske and decided to voice his thoughts.
"I will be heading to the sector west of us to capture the territory. I will need someone to come with, are there any objections?" He asked with a hint of impatience, ready to get things started and slaughter his personal target.
Speaking of information, it seems that Warboss already knows the leviathan is there, and the demonic controlly thing. I thought we didn't know the other faction's specials, IC.
I could argue that maybe he knows about the Leviathan, but he definitely shouldn't know about the flute.
Henry was pacing back and forth, waiting for a signal to begin the battle when he noticed Sliske begin to approach him with a case. Henry smiled as he was given the case, Sliske explaining it was a map and that he had control of a pair of Leviathans. This was always somewhat annoying, the whole thinking part of being a general. Not really his thing but whatever.
"I don't know, station everyone at the temple and begin setting traps. Leviathans should go on patrol around the temple and attack anything that's not a Demon. Meanwhile I'll look around for whatever this power is-" Henry was suddenly interrupted by Sliske grabbing him aggressively and threatening him. A glowing pentagram had already materialized and the Macabre Dancers were in his hands and pointed at Sliske's stomach.
"I will fill you with more holes than a block of swiss cheese if you don't let go right now you miserable wretch. Henry snarled as Sliske let him go and backed off. He had half a mind to smite him with Mjolnir right now for his impudence. But no, he was probably the brains in this scenario and it would be stupid to kill the strategist. No matter how much he pissed him off.
"Whatever, let's get going. We have setup work to do." Chen dropped Macabre Dancers and they were swallowed by The Gates of Tartarus, promptly disappearing as usual. Henry finally opened up the map and a small smirk spread across his face. The Angels would fall first, then the Machina would be his. What a glorious day.
Henry chortled to himself as he gazed upon the soon to be battlefield, his army getting ready to march and slaughter all that stand in his way. He was absolutely giddy with excitement as he sat in his magnificent throne, feet kicking in the air a good couple of inches off of the ground. He had heard tell of the victory the Demons had scored during the last major skirmish, capturing a dragon of the Angels! If he didn't want to fight this battle so much, he would he knocking down doors so he could obtain such a rare creature. But he had instead heard tell of an even more valuable prize. One of the Machina of Man, in direct possession of one of the Angels. This was something he could not pass up on, he would get the dragon after the battle.
Henry couldn't sit still much longer, it was time to attack now. A glowing pentagram appeared underneath his throne and it slowly began sinking into the ground, that's what it looked like to the average bystander anyway. In reality it was just returning to his collection. Henry let his feet touch the ground and he stood up, letting his throne vanish completely before making his announcement.
"I have an announcement! There is a 16 foot tall Machina owned by one of the Angels, and I want it! If anyone can bring me the Machina owned by the Angel, they get first pick of battlefield loot and a promotion to lieutenant!" Henry bellowed as the army let up a cheer, consumed by their own greed. Not that any would succeed, but they would certainly soften the pathetic wench for the taking.
Henry laughed as he motioned for a nearby grunt to bring him some food. There were no questions after the first day and the examples he had made out of idiots who questioned authority. The horns of the questioners he had adorned all over his suit made sure of that. He then began preparing for battle, pulling out various pins and bracelets which had been adorned with minor protection magic. By the end he had a forcefield on him equivalent to a suit of high end armor. Yet he still looked immaculate in his black suit. Just the way he liked it.
I want that. I want that a lot... This is the part where I pry it from your cold dead hands.
Name: Henry Pearl Avaritia The 2nd
Title: Spawn of Greed, Hoarded One, Silver Conqueror, Tartarus' Gatekeeper, H2 (by close friends)
Age: 547, appears to be 18-20
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Machina, formerly Demons
Race: Demonic Prince of Sin
Height: 5'0, claims to be 5'6
Weight: It's rude to ask royalty of their weight.
Personality: Henry is as his father was, he wants everything he does not have and is willing to do anything to get. That is what everyone knows about him, but that is only one fact. He tends to be somewhat rude to people he doesn't know, not because he's a spoiled Prince, but because he's just kind of a jerk. He does not use his title as a crutch, instead using brute force to achieve his goals. When brute force doesn't work he will attempt to think out his problems, but he's no strategist. As a friend he's still somewhat of a jerk, but he is loyal to a fault. As for his reason to participate in the war, he used to want the kingdom of Man for himself, along with its technology. Nowadays after defecting from Hell he seeks to take down the Faction Leaders and bring an end to the war one day.
History: In Hell, royal titles are often ignored due to the heavy emphasis on freedom and power that demons adopt. Henry Pearl Avaritia said fuck that and claimed himself to be a Demonic Prince of Sin, aligning himself with the Sin of Greed.
He went out to prove that he was worthy of such a title by taking what he wanted and destroying any who challenged his title. Over the course of a few centuries he was officially recognized by the King of Hell, Rufus. After that he decided he wanted a bride, so he sought out the best one he could find. From that marriage was born Henry Pearl Avaritia The 2nd.
Henry wasn't very well raised to be honest, constantly shown the wrong ways to act by his father and rarely seeing his mother. His father stole whatever he wanted, showing Henry the tools of the trade when it came to stealing. Henry never really understood the finer points of thievery, instead choosing to just take what he wanted in the most direct ways possible as quickly as possible. He could never be patient when it came to his greed.
Henry was quickly taught to never rely on his title at the age of 117 when he was beaten by a group of rowdy demons, mocking him after he proudly claimed to be the Son of Greed and demanding their weapons. His father disposed of them handily and Henry never again used his title as the primary way to take what he wanted.
Come the age of 500, Henry grew impatient. He wanted all of his father's possessions, and he was not willing to let time claim his life. So he challenged his father to a duel, with the winner claiming the loser's life and possessions. Henry had built up a sizeable hoard of loot at this point, so his father naturally wanted it. What the senior did not know was that Henry had invented a completely new magic to store his hoard. Without this knowledge, Henry Pearl Avaritia The 1st was soundly defeated and both the hoard and his life was taken. With this being done Henry Pearl Avaritia The 2nd was recognized as the new Demon Prince of Greed.
Powers: Gates of Tartarus: The Gates of Tartarus act as a doorway to an infinite pocket dimension that only Henry has access to. He has stored away his entire treasure in here and can pull any of them out through the form of a glowing red pentagram that he can summon. As of right now the pentagram is only big enough to store the equivalent of a large royal throne, however Henry is always working on making it bigger and being able to summon The Gates of Tartarus faster than before. One day he hopes to be able to eject weapons put of it so fast that they work as massive bullets. The one thing it cannot store is organic material.
Silver Eyes- Silver Eyes are to to manifest creation itself, able to craft and make into shape various tools and weapons with great ease and care. With Silver Eyes, one is able to unlock their Whole in the form of Gestalt, a state of being that coats the user in a mighty set of armor, often of a knight's motif which grants absolute defense. But with lack of strength comes lack of definitive power to defeat one's enemies.
Weapons: Henry has many weapons stored in The Gates of Tartarus, however only a few of them have innate magical properties.
The Cheater's Blade: A katana the length of Henry's body, enchanted to be able to cut through everything but the strongest of materials and magic. Some say the original owner could cut through time and saw his own future, thus avoiding his demise for decades. But you can only cheat death for so long...
Mjolnir: After an intense battle with the heavenly host, Henry looted this magical hammer off of the general of the opposing army. After decades of exposure to demonic corruption the mighty hammer has become blackened and cracked, summoning black lightning to fry all who Henry wishes to conquer.
Equipment: Chen has many things inside The Gates of Tartarus that he constantly forgets about, only adding them to the hoard because he can rather than finding an actual use for them. You would be hard pressed to fix something he doesn't have in the infinite space he has in his dimension.

Background-It's a long story...
Utada Mitsuda Tear Jerker Idol Princess of Hyperion
Age: 548 Gender: Female Allegiance: Machina Race: Android Height: 5'9 Weight: 160 Pounds Personality: Kinda mean to most people, making crude jokes or insulting others viciously. On stage she's the complete opposite, with the usual idol personality of pleasing the fans. But really she just likes to have fun whether it's in battle or in the club. She takes a little bit of time to warm up to people, but she's super nice once you're actually friends. History: Originally created as an entertainment android for soldiers in the Nexus, she was accidentally given extensive coding for combat including handling a large variety of firearms, melee weapons, explosives, making her an amazing soldier. Yet she still retained a large amount of her idol programming, so she figured she might as well do both. Now she works at the new club that opened up in Hyperion, The Nile. She's pretty popular, so it's not unusual to see her on stage or behind the DJ booth pumping some tunes. Powers: EMP Shielding: After an embarrassing defeat at the hands of a certain demon with a mass EMP grenade she has since upgraded so she herself is not shut down by EMPs. A majority of her equipment is still affected though. Eyes: Her eyes have been upgraded several times so she can track enemies through heat, motion, and electricity. Can be shut off by EMP tech, however her normal vision will still work. Upgraded Sense: Most of her senses in general are finely tuned, with the nose of an experienced bloodhound, the ears of an elephant, etc. State of the Art: She has reflexes and strength beyond any human, able to lift a full car above her head and react to bullets being fired at her from less than 5 feet away. She's also much more durable than any human, due to her 'skin" being made out of a highly advanced titanium cloth hybrid. She still biologically identical to a human though, in all the ways one might think... Weapons: The Mic: Assault rifle with armor piercing rounds, underbarrel is a grenade launcher. She carries a variety of grenades like any good Machina soldier, but her favorite are the incendiary grenades. Vinyl Scratcher: A gladius about 29 inches long, made with micro blades on the edge that vibrate rapidly to cut through armor. Micro blades can be disrupted with EMP tech. Turntable: Plasma shield mounted on her left forearm, normally 18 inches in diameter but can be quickly held in front of her and expanded to cover her whole body from enemy fire. Can be disabled with EMP tech. Sliders: Dual energy pistols which fire shock rounds. Kept holstered on her hips at all times, even outside of combat. Equipment: Auto Hacker: Jacks into most electronic security, taking a minute max to hack into whatever.

Angels of Heaven
Chen Praesidium
God's Royal Guard
"Defiance Leads Only To Death."
Age: ??? Gender: Male Allegiance: Deva Race: Heavenly Guardian Height: 5'7 Weight: 160 Pounds Personality: A cold machine, loyal only to Deva. Once upon a time he had a heart, but now all that is left is his loyalty. History: Once upon a time, in a shattered world, there was a man named Chen. He fought against a tyrannical kingdom, traveling the lands in search of magical artifacts which held the powers of legendary heroes. He found one such Relic, which granted him immense power of plant life and allowed him to fill his mana and mend his flesh from all but the most fatal of wounds. But in the end he was only one man. Due to people and events far out of his control, he was forced to serve under a cruel Imperator. With the power of the Relics and a mad Jester's help, the shattered world was obliterated. The Imperator ascended to Heaven, taking Chen and a few select people she favored with her. Countless eons have passed, with the man named Chen serving his Imperator loyally, time stripping away his personality until he has become but a mere shell of the hero he once was. All that remains is the Holy Guard, Chen Praesidium. Powers: Relic of Green: A Relic holding the power of a Master, a being even greater than a Vassal. The Relic of Green grants Chen advanced regenerative abilities, whether it be speeding up the growth of plants, healing his wounds and the wounds of others, granting him a near endless supply of mana, he is limited only by his creativity. And he has had eons to think about the best way to defend God. This Relic takes the appearance of a green gem that has been engraved into his left hand, a part of his holy flesh that is inseparable from him. Winter's Touch: A tome from his past, rarely used in favor of the power of the Relic of Green. It grants him control over and generation of ice. A white snowflake pin engraved into his right hand, inseparable from him. Weapons: Lux Lator: A simple rapier that comes with the Relic of Green, normally the Relic turns into the rapier but due to the integration of the Relic into Chen's body the rapier is now a weapon that he can manifest at will.

"Let the revels begin!" Tsukuyomi Goddess of Thunder
Age: 999 Gender: Female Allegiance: The Angels of Heaven Race: Goddess Height: 6'0 Weight: Do you wanna die?
Personality: A warrior who lives to fight, she finds joy in battling the strongest the Nexus has to offer. She always has a cheery smile on her face whether she be in battle or eating a delicious meal in Heaven with her sisters. Amaterasu and Susanoo clash occasionally due to Suasnoo's overbearing personality, but she never means any harm by it and is often confused whenever she upsets her. She will always try to make up with Amaterasu, but Susanoo just doesn't get it without Tsukuyomi's help. Outside of combat Susanoo loves to drink. A bit too much really, many of the problems she causes are because she had one too many flasks of ale and decided that Amaterasu's stuffed animals were looking at her funny.
History: In the distant past, Amaterasu was slain by her brother, Tsukuyomi, out of jealousy and hatred, who later came to the realization that life wasn't all that great if he didn't have his sister. Out of depression and sadness, Tsukuyomi eventually committed suicide, rejoining his sister in death, much to the dismay of Susanoo. Susanoo fell into a depression that eventually led to his death, in a sense. While the depression was not the exact cause of Susanoo's death, it is believed to have played a big part as Susanoo charged against armies, willingly fighting until he would eventually fall in battle.
Much later, the three deities were reincarnated into their forms, at roughly the same times. Acting as a unit, the triplet trio of Godly Sisters was born into the Heavens, retaining their knowledge of their powers and strengths, and tasked with the goal of keeping the Heavens safe from any harm.
The oldest triplet of the Godly Sisters (by about a minute) was born with her whole heart intact. Her sister Tsukuyomi had only half a heart, and Amaterasu barely had a heart at all! Susanoo does not remember much of her past life, but the residual feelings behind her past depression has caused her to commit to protecting her sisters no matter the cost.
Powers: Ride The Storm - Like any self respecting goddess Susanoo can fly on wings of lightning. Eye of the Storm - Susanoo is a Goddess of the Storm, wielding powerful holy lightning and the ability to conjure storms out of nothing. She rarely does so because it doesn't synergize well with her sisters abilities, but when she's all by herself she goes all out.
[+] Thunderbolt - Susanoo falls from the sky shrouded in lightning, exploding upon hitting the ground. The power of this strike depends on the height Susanoo is falling from with small explosions being created from simply jumping, up to massive building busters when she falls at terminal velocity. [+] Thunder Armor - An armor of lightning forms around her, giving all of her attacks lightning attributes as well as the ability to shoot lightning out of her sword. [+] Thunderclap - Susanoo claps her hands together as hard as she can, producing a deafening noise to everyone around. Tends to avoid use unless there are no allies around. It also kinda hurts her hands, so she can't do it too often. [+] Lightning Strikes Twice - Can boost speed for a few hits by overclocking her nervous system with electricity, giving her faster reflexes and attacks. A telltale sign for the most observant of combatants is when blue lightning arcs and flashes in her eyes. [+] Strength of the Storm - Rejoice! For Susanoo can buff allies with a mighty war cry which raises attack. This is a visible buff as those affected are given a purple aura to strike fear into their enemies.
Weapons: Blade of Totsuka - A mighty katana forged of powerful Celestial Steel, practically unbreakable. Is also highly conductive of heavenly powers, making it the weapon of choice for the trio of Goddesses. Susanoo uses it mainly, but her sisters can pick it up and use it if Susanoo has fallen.

Demons of Hell
To find Truth, one must be willing to do anything. Jubilee Faustus aka Mephistopheles, Seeker of Akasha
Age: ??? Gender: Female Allegiance: Hell Race: Great Demon Height: 5'10 Weight:Some knowledge is unobtainable Personality: Always yearning for more knowledge, willing to commit any number of atrocities to reach her ultimate goal. Otherwise a pleasant person to be around, so long as you don't annoy her. Nothing is free with her though, if you want something than you have to make a deal. History: On a world like Earth but not quite Earth, she simply appeared. She offered power to those who signed a contract with her. Men could become irresistible to women, become the President, gain fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams. All they needed to do was make a deal with Jubilee Faustus, one that often resulted in them losing their very soul. Every deal she made extended her life further and further until eventually she was functionally immortal. Millennia passed and she grew bored of the pathetic rock she lived on, hurtling through space with no purpose. So she decided she wanted to be stronger. 'Knowledge is Power' one human had told her, so she decided to obtain all knowledge. Once she obtained all knowledge she could figure out something else to do, so she began her research. A few centuries passed, eventually she learned all she could on the planet she lived on. All that was left was to go somewhere new, somewhere with infinite potential. She found out about the Nexus, a place described as ever changing and full of potential. Supposedly a path to Akasha lay there, the place where all knowledge that has ever been or ever will be is stored.
Another century passed and she made deals with every major power on her world. Little did they know they had doomed their planet to oblivion. Every single person on that planet died, half the population's lives used to create a one way portal into the Nexus. So with a blood red stone in hand, Jubilee stepped off the lifeless rock and into a world of Chaos. She quickly found her place in the Nexus, offering foolish Demons incredible power in exchange for various things. She eventually got herself set up in a nice quiet(ish) corner of Hell where she could do her research. She would go out to search for the way to Akasha for years at a time, eventually returning to her lab to refuel and rest for a bit. On one of these adventures she found out that she was not the only one who searched for Akasha. Someone else had already found it, a powerful figure by the name of Trismegistus. Jubilee was infuriated by this, for someone to grandstand her like this was unacceptable! Now her goal has expanded. Not only will she find Akasha, but she will obliterate this person who would dare reach her goal before her!
Powers: Wrathful Shell: Jubilee is perfect, if you disagree then you're obviously an idiot who needs to die. With superhuman strength and amazing endurance, she can duke it out with most combatants in the Nexus and take any punishment they have to give. She is by no means invincible however, she just isn't frail like the humans she's consumed over the millennia.
Covetous Hands: All she touches is dirty and full of sin. When she grabs something she can corrupt it in battle, whether it be a sword that grows sharper with every cut it inflicts, or a gun that fires bullets that automatically seek out targets to tear through. She can also corrupt Machina soldiers, but this cannot be done in the middle of a fight, she needs to capture them first.
Clawing for Knowledge: Jubilee hoards all knowledge she can get her hands on. She can be taught by anyone and learns extremely quickly. Whether it be a master of magic teaching her all they know or learning everything a swordsman has to offer within days, Jubilee is a sponge for knowledge. The only rule is that the person must be teaching her on purpose, she cannot copy things she sees in battle. This does not translate to being willing to teach her, if she's drugged you into revealing everything you know then she can learn that way. There are also other exceptions, some things simply cannot be taught.
The Shadows Hunger: The darkness eats and tears, ever ravenous for more. Jubilee controls darkness, shaping it into physical objects that eat whatever it touches like an acid. It takes time to consume something fully of course and the darkness can be driven away via physical means since it has been made physical. The biggest weakness this power has is Light, for it can instantly banish all shadows it touches. In order for the Light to affect the shadows it must have purpose, something as simple as sunlight will not affect the darkness. Unless the sunlight was made with the purpose of driving away Jubilee's darkness it will not affect it.
Shortcut to Greatness: Care to make a deal with the Devil? Jubilee loves to make deals, granting wealth to the greedy, power to those who seek revenge, she can usually provide it for a price. Sometimes that price is your eternal soul, but she finds that's a quick way to piss off those above her now that she resides in the Nexus. So she won't trick you into selling your soul, she makes it very clear when that is an option and it is your option to take. However she is willing to bargain. If you want to learn some sort of forbidden knowledge than she may demand knowledge in return. If you want some sort of magical artifact you will need to offer her something in return. But if you want something insane like Golden Eyes... well some things just can't be bought.
Envy My Craft: Jubilee is quite the skilled crafter, making magical artifacts, altering someone's body to give them wings, enhancing armor to absorb fire magic, she can create and change many things. She can do certain changes to herself on the battlefield, like giving herself wings or gills, but complex changes like enchanting weapons take time. She will of course need materials, you can't make something out of nothing. Unless your name is Henry
Weapons: She keeps two daggers with her in battle, one which carries a disorienting poison and the other fries electronics it comes into contact with. These are both last resort weapons, they're used more for stunning a foe to get some distance rather than actually killing someone. Not to say they can't. Theme:
Why not laugh? Your life has been a joke and death is the punchline! Thomas Insania aka The Deranged Devil of Hell
Age: 547 Gender: Male Allegiance: Hell Race: Vampire/Demon Height: 5'6 Weight:Who has the time to stand still on some scale? Personality: To Thomas, everything in life is a joke. Whether it's the War, Factions, even the Nexus itself, nothing can be taken seriously. Why should he, his actions have no true consequences in a world without death. So he chooses to do whatever he pleases, which in this case is to spread as much mayhem and misery as possible in his pursuit of power. History: One day a very important Demon was born and taken away from his mother. But the story of Thomas begins one hour after this. The Demon burst from his mother with a strange look in his eye. One could tell from the moment of birth that something about him was distinctly off. His mother died shortly after he was born, leaving him with only a name, Thomas Insania. Nobody would claim Thomas, so he was quickly thrown out into Hell, left to fend for himself amongst the overwhelming chaos of a dog eat dog world. Against all odds, he flourished. He managed to find someone to take him in and raise him until the age of 6, at which point Thomas killed the fool and burnt the home to the ground. He wandered from village to village, finding suckers to take him in and then killing them after he had driven their lives into the dirt. From the momene he learned to walk, all he knew was that he wanted to destroy everything he saw.
This continued until he turned 18, at which point he began wandering the battlefields for fun. He would taunt dying soldiers, offering to help them and then slitting their throats just to see the looks on their dumb faces. One soldier had a little more kick to him however, a dying vampire managed to bite Thomas to dry and heal himself. Thomas lashed out in a fit of rage, smashing the vampire's head into the ground over and over until nothing was left but a pile of mush. Then he began laughing as drained the corpse of all blood, a vampire had been born.
Hundreds of years passed and Thomas began to mature somewhat. No longer would he destroy simply for shits and giggles, no his tastes had matured. Now he planned things out to cause as much pain as possible, slowly poisoning a town's water supply, cutting off limbs one by one to hear the victims scream as much as possible. It was during one of these excursions that he met a fellow psycho by the name of Harley. She revealed to him the truth behind his birth, how she had tampered with his mother during the pregnancy and injected her own DNA into him while he was but a fetus. He cared not, he had no true connection to his parents. She then revealed that he had a brother who was a prince, who had managed to rise above the rest and kill his own father. This caught his attention.
"What fun it would be to kill my own brother! The despair in his eyes as he realises that his life has been ended by his own blood, the cruelest joke of them all!" Harley took Thomas under her wing with the promise of power, enough to kill his brother as long as he remained loyal to her alone.
Powers: Cruel Joke: Thomas is an undead Vampire, meaning that he has no true vital organs. Any wounds he suffers are purely cosmetic, the only way to kill him is to completely destroy his head or sever it in an instant.
Punchline: But the joke doesn't end there, he regenerates from wounds he suffers slowly while regenerating even faster if he can get his fangs in some warm body with blood in it.
Absolutely Batty: Thomas can sprout bat wings to fly across the battlefield at high speeds.
Knock Em Dead: Thomas packs a real punch as well, without the limits of a fragile living body he can punch as hard as he wants and run as fast as he please. This makes him into a terror on the battlefield as he runs from squad to squad, tearing each one apart like confetti paper.
Weapons: Shadow Glaives: A matched pair of mechanical glaives, enchanted to return to their owner after being thrown and capable of spinning at break-neck speeds. Their blades are capable of poisoning anything not venom-resistant should they break skin. Edge of Insanity:This axe defies all logic. He can seemingly pull it out of nowhere, it weighs practically nothing despite it's immense size, and is never damaged. No scratches, chips, dents, the only reason you can even tell it's been used is because of the bloodstains that cover every inch of it. Cutting Remarks: Two daggers just as hungry as their owner, able to drain blood and hold it inside themselves like a syringe. This does nothing for the lethality of the knives, but it makes an effective quick heal for Thomas if he's ever in a pinch. Every cut drains a little blood from whatever wound they make, while a full stab can fill the knives up to capacity very quickly. Theme:

The Cheater's Blade: A katana the length of Henry's body, enchanted to be able to cut through everything but the strongest of materials and magic. Some say the original owner could cut through time and saw his own future, thus avoiding his demise for decades. But you can only cheat death for so long...
Mjolnir: After an intense battle with the heavenly host, Henry looted this magical hammer off of the general of the opposing army. After decades of exposure to demonic corruption the mighty hammer has become blackened and cracked, summoning black lightning to fry all who Henry wishes to conquer.
Macabre Dancers: The Macabre Dancers are a dual set of handguns, blackened with red cracks running through them after long periods of exposure to Henry's demonic nature. He looted these off of a human squadron leader when he realized how few ranged options he had. He began enchanting them so that the bullets fired were incendiary and so that the bullets could be pulled directly from The Gates of Tartarus rather than a long process of reloading.
Equipment: Chen has many things inside The Gates of Tartarus that he constantly forgets about, only adding them to the hoard because he can rather than finding an actual use for them. You would be hard pressed to fix something he doesn't have in the infinite space he has in his dimension.
Chen let out a huge breath of relief as the Falthon fell for good. He grabbed his flask back from Coch and suddenly felt like his body was made of lead. Teleporting that much really took it out of him, he was lucky that adrenaline has let him ignore the worst of it for so long. Chen vaguely heard Coch ask for his own name and he smiled in return.
"Chen Jet. Good to meet ya Coch. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head back to campus before I pass out." As he finished his statement, Glynda teleported onto the battlefield and told everyone to head to the Headmaster's office. Chen let out a groan and headed to the office with Coch.
By the time they made it there Chen was about ready to pass out. So he did, in the comfiest looking corner of the room he could find. His guns were sticking out of his sleeves slightly and his sunglasses on to keep the light out of his eyes.
Ryan studied his notes intently in his classroom and sighed. It appeared as though everyone was gossiping about the latest kidnapping and starting various rumours on what the circumstances were. Kinda weird how he had somehow avoided all those rumours, almost as though nobody ever realized he had been kidnapped in the first place. Not that he was complaining. It seemed very annoying to be honest.
Ryan packed away his notes and began heading over to the Manga Clubroom to do some studying. He wasn't going to get any peace and quiet in here for sure. He vaguely considered going home, but looking out the entrance of the school revealed a few shady looking characters that he didn't really want to deal with.
Ryan entered the clubroom and nodded at Akane in acknowledgement of her existence. He then sat down in an empty chair and got out his notes so he could study in preparation of the upcoming exams. A few minutes passed in silence when he suddenly heard a pencil snapping in half, coming from Akane's direction. Ryan turned his head towards her and vaguely wondered if he should say something. He had a nervous look on his face, debating internally if he should risk getting yelled at or not.
