I'm gonna have to say
no to this. See under the cut
Unknown Due to zone of birth.
He's a Saggitarius, mate. No problem here, just thought I'd let you know.
Trifling,
The Trifling are a name giving to mostly human though somewhat not creatures, Most often it is given to those who are of human parentage but have non human ancestors of a mythical kind, So the great, great grandson of Lucifer would be a Trifling. They tend to inherit a good portion of their ancestors power, though this is magnified through various means such as magical/technological assistance or even something as simple as being the seventh son. They rarely have any visible differences, However their aura is massivly abnormal.
There's a real name for this I swear to God, but I don't know what it is...Ahem.
So what exactly
is he descended from? All that was said was 'Greater Entity' and an example with Lucifer in it. That needs a bit more clearing up. If it's a story thing, just fire off a PM and explain there.
Arcane Technomancer. A technomancer is someone who has a mastery over technology. and Arcamancer is someone who has mastery over the Arcane arts, such as magic. An Arcane Technomancer is a combination thereof. capability to create, Master, and use Arcane technologies, often lost, or forgotten. While they oft do not have the precision of a high tech laser sniper rifle, or the ease of hurling a fireball. They make up for it in outright durability, Versatility, and destructive power.
Magitech is Not Really A Thing. According to Cynder, it exists but isn't used since technology in Lucis is incredibly low-tech and Earth's stuff is apparently just better. Anyway, from here on, just assume everything regarding magitech or advanced technology basically has a big *MAGITECH IS NOT LIKE THAT* or *LUCIS IS NOT THAT ADVANCED* stapled onto it.
His Primary weapon is Brahak, A magitech Scythe/Axe/Rifle (Assault, not sniper.) This axe is powered by both Leo's innate magic and a internal bank of Mana crystals which re-charge over time. the weapon itself can discharge the Mana in several ways, The first being a blast of concussive force over short distance, the second being energizing the rifle rounds to a specific magic type. the third is enhancing the weapon edge with a specific magic type, the fourth, and possibly most useful is in a 'mana catalyser' which generates ammunition for the rifle. there is also a 'Last Resort' device, called a Mana Bomb, it combines the principles of an Hydrogen bomb, with Mana, creating a hurled orb of condensed energy which detonates with enough force to obliterate a small town. The downside is this burns out most of the Mana crystals inside of it, Meaning they need replacing, The amount of destructive force can be reduced (and thus the damage to the mana crystals is also reduced)
Casting Pistol, As seen in his image, this pistol allows him to cast magic circles and thus actually use magic, the internals of it are unknown to all but himself, it has an alternate firing mode as a short range (five meter) wave gun which disrupts a targets brain function, knocking them out for a few hours.
Durain armour, This armour is a combination of Magic and technology, combining Hydrogen fuel cells with high power mana crystals allows for a conversion of Mana in to a transmittable, Usable force energy, Much like electricity, and also allows the conversion of Electricity in to mana, and vice versa. The armour itself contains dozens of different sub weapons, such as palm mounted Mana-cannons, a Chakra disruptor on one shoulder (Fantastic for disabling monks and Chi/Ki users). As well as technologically based weapons such as a small 2 shot shotgun under one wrist and a flamethrower under the other, Leo built it in combination with his Uncle and Grandfather, designing it to be a frontline mech suit style fighter unit. Though he's the only one with a copy, the prototype in fact. He's still working on it.
Okay, so there's a few problems here:
1) Mana crystals render being born a mage completely and utterly obsolete. They recharge the exact same way as natural mana, can change their alignment, and you can amass a crapload over time. So... Completely surpassing natural sources of mana.
2) Cynder doesn't like assault rifles in fantasy settings, which is what Lucis is.
3) Mana Bomb is a no. When you have a weapon that uses a
hydrogen bomb as a measuring stick and can annihilate a town and only needs a simple reload to do again... Well, then you have a balance problem.
4) Please explain to me how a gun fires magic circles.
5) The alternate firing mode strikes me as less 'nonlethal' and more 'neurologically crippling' than anything.
6) Hydrogen fuel cells will blow you to shreds if anyone gets to them. Also, hydrogen cells, especially miniaturized, are not available at your local Lucismart.
7) Chakra/Chi/Ki = Mana. Not sure how your suit works if you have something that disrupts it. Also, it no-sells magic which is Not A Good Thing.
8) Lucisean power armor is Not A Thing.
Grandson of a greater entity and nephew to a inventor Leo found himself torn between two worlds, unable to chose, he learnt to blend them together. this brought the family together as well as causing interest from both his Uncle and Grandfather, Previously bitter towards one another, the two found a combined interest in Leo. This meant he grew up surrounded by not only ever changing technology and inventions, but ever growing magical power.
Inventor or not, Lucis doesn't get Earth-level tech unless you've stolen it or are part of the black market/a scientific institution. Hell, they barely understand
phones.
And before anything is said, I doubt an inventor working for a scientific institute is going to give his nephew all the snazzy prototypes.
Due to the dual nature of leo's equipment and abilities he does not gain any specific strengths either, IE; Someone skilled at magic can use highly powerful and complex spells, or someone who as grown up surrounded by computers could be able to hack. Leo cannot do such things, He must rely on his own Arcane Technomancy and often cannot 'borrow' from others.
'Tis but a flesh wound' Leo is highly unconcerned about taking damage, because he believes it would be easy to recreate an arm or a leg with magic infused technology, or even create something that allows him to re-grow it (No this hasn't been tested yet). This makes him quite reckless sometimes. often the first to jump in to a fray even when outmatched.
Considering the rest of the CS, Leo is hardly a 'Jack of all Trades, Master of None' and more just a 'Master of All', and 'Recklessness' isn't a weakness when you have an answer to pretty much everything, outmatched or otherwise. Since I'm not a fan of meaningless disadvantages, please add some actual weaknesses.
Magic-translation; Most magic when cast requires a incantation, or produces a magic circle. And more often than not this is in some strange tongue. Due to years and years of working with magic and combining it with Tech he can read, translate, and dissect a magic spell/circle a few seconds before it is cast, understanding what the spell will do, Clearly the faster the spell, the harder this is.
Technological understanding; The technological version of Magic-Translation, the ability to observe, and understand tech simply by examining it, This however does not confer the ability to say hack passwords or keypads. This is much more on a hardware scale than software, if someone showed him the binary of a computer he'd not understand, if they showed him a chipboard, he'd be able to tell them everything about it.
The only magic that involves circles is rituals and written, the latter of which usually comes with instructions. And I doubt he's able to understand
every tongue or have a program that does (which, incidentally, is software), especially considering Earth and Lucis only met two decades ago. Also, what exactly is the value of learning what a spell will do a few seconds before it happens?
He's got a small pet Fae creature, for whom he made a mechanical wing after it lost one to his fathers cat, It's unclear what exactly the creature is, Other than it communicates via telepathy and Identifies itself as Frya.
...So is what it is relevant at all to the RP? If so, see 'Species'
Well, that's my two cents. If I missed anything, any other GMs go take a crack at it.
