Boooo
Dolly. After the first clone.
I jest, I jest.
I jest, I jest.
Alrighty! Question session numero dos:
1. Are soul weapons hereditary as well?
2. Would it be possible to make a character descended from a legendary hero? I ask because I did a quick search and realized that this guy shares the same last name as my planned character.
2b. Highly doubt it, but would that end up having to be a distinct soul type?

Few quick questions:
1. What shade would a Chaotic Good character lie in? Light Grey or just me?
2. Is the ability to become a priest (and the abilities that come with it) hereditary? Like, you're born with the ability to become one.
2. Is it possible to have a 'curse'/cursed soul? And then have that curse spread to your descendants?

"Hmm? Expressing familiarity with situation? Interesting," Raniero remarked, having caught Cyril's comment about some 'Ten Year Bazooka'. Not that it was hard to do so, given his proximity to the duo. The light-haired young man hobbled over to Daisuke's side. Continuing to ramble to himself in order to gather his thoughts, Rani added, "Name of mystery device also interesting. 'Ten Year Bazooka'. Implying time travel theory correct?" He put his hand to his chin and looked up in thought as he began to pace in front of the new Japanese student, still continuing his analysis of the situation to the taps of his crutch on the ground.
"However time travel tech not public. Implications... unpleasant," as Rani mused as he looked between Cyril and Daisuke, "Scientifists? Ha. No. Improbable. Entertaining thought, however. Paramilitary? No again. Not disciplined enough. Would follow protocol. Actions too brash." He stopped and thought again. He glanced at the two once more.
"...Criminal?"

Name: Claude du Lac
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Weapon: Lighters. Lots of 'em. Does not possess a soul weapon.
Appearance: Claude is a young man with cyan eyes and messy, mid-neck length black hair parted at the center. He's tall, slim, and light - built for agility rather than raw strength. He prefers to dress in a fashion that can only be called 'plain'. No brand logos, lettering, graphics; nothing but unremarkable all around.
Abilities: Reactant Air - Warp Spasm
Soul Alignment: Light Grey, Cursed
Personality: Claude is determined, driven, and a huge freaking nerd. He doesn't go out of his way to instigate a conversation with someone outside of a field scenario or something like overhearing someone talking about him. He couldn't really be called antisocial at any rate; he's just not easy to talk to or get to know, at any rate. He has a passion for chemistry rooted in his ability and may or may not be a low-level pyromaniac, but a combination of his intense drive to succeed and his reserved front exudes a kind of 'foreign coolness' as it were. Although, he's actually naturally predisposed to be lighthearted, upbeat and playful, a side which occasionally shows through his shell and conflicts with his life experiences. Claude's upbringing at the hands of his overzealous family has established a desire for his achievements to be sufficiently recognized, to prove himself and his family to his peers, which often causes him to become dissatisfied with himself for not doing better when they aren't. As such, his level of determination could be described as 'reckless and idealistic'. Though he's not stupid in his recklessness; he has instincts refined from personal experience and usually has a good idea of what he's getting himself into, as well. Given his personality, he's naturally inclined to be the type who can thrive under pressure and seek out danger without care.
History: House du Lac. Once great and noble, now brought to the brink of ruin by a 500 year old curse. Wealthy as they may be, the curse has dealt a crippling blow to their pride as priests. As the first and only child of this generation born with the necessary spiritual potential to become a priest, Claude was tasked with the mission of restoring the family to its former glory, just like every other heir before him. And just like every other heir before him, he was trained under harsh circumstances in order to turn an unimpressive, lackluster child into a priest strong and worthy enough to represent the name 'du Lac'.
As a child, Claude was raised under the creed of 'for the sake of the family'. Everything he was subjected to, every harsh trial, every hour of painstaking training and studying, everything was justified using that phrase. Though his family as a whole wasn't unnecessarily cruel, his grandfather, the family's patriarch, was almost always disappointed with Claude's results, always pushing the driven young child beyond his limits, finally culminating in an event Claude would most definitely prefer to avoid talking about. Normally for a child's 10th birthday, people would give gifts. The gift he got from his grandfather? A camping trip in the wilderness near the estate. Alone. In the middle of winter. With minimal supplies. Armed with the bare minimum he was allotted, Claude managed for a few days, pushing himself to his very limits. For the sake of the family as always. And then he started to get a little bit crazy. Eventually the feral animal attacks, the monsters that he occasionally found, the cold weather, and the lack of food and drink, among other things, got to become too much.
They found him in the epicenter of a forest fire. Which was odd because they didn't even supply him with anything that could remotely start a fire.
Pleased with the results, the patriarch left the traumatized young pyromaniac to his own devices and the harsh-but-reasonable training regiments he had before his grandfather's involvement. Meanwhile, Claude was more driven than ever, having earned his patriarch's approval and coming out of the event unaffected (sort of). Naturally, once he became old enough, his family sent him off the Order.
For the sake of his family... For the sake of his father, for the sake of his brothers, and for the sake of his sisters... He will rid his family of this curse.
Or die trying.
Weaknesses:
-Desperate to prove himself often results in reckless and psuedo-self-destructive behavior
-Prone to an intense sense of competition, even when inappropriate, and does not know what a friendly rivalry is
-Bodily build sacrifices endurance and strength for agility
-Lack of direct combat ability, and the one ability that could be used for direct combat is actually painful to use
-Cursed, with all the negative effects included

Doesn't particularly matter to me, I'm fine in both. Though I have to say I'm leaning more towards Free so I don't have to spend ~20-30 minutes putting together a post.
Also, I have two 'weird' abilities I'm thinking of, one of which I'm not gonna even attempt to explain since it involves parallel worlds and stuff, just wanna get an opinion.
-Air Manipulation: Not like blasting wind at people or anything, more like controlling air down to its smallest particles and cause reactions. Like turning Water Vapor into H2 and O and then using H2 and a lighter to start an explosion. Or taking the O and creating toxic Ozone.

So you're saying the two abilities a person chooses need to be connected to each other? By that I mean, something like controlling metal and rocks vs controlling air and rocks
Or would it be connected to the user like someone traumatized by fire getting an 'anti-fire' ability?
Or a combination of both?

Out of curiosity, how would a special soul even work? We already have abilities, and most of the bases seem to be covered in terms of character alignment.

"Oh, that sounds great" Arydun smiled like she didn't even notice the look Ren gave her, or notice the tone of voice he used when answering her question. The dragonette as her second order of food came along was about to dig in to it when Ren decided to ask her a question, stopping with her fork half way to her mouth as she blinked to the human boy "Uh....." She started as she placed her fork down "I...Well I don't go to any school that's for sure. Never have been in a position to go to such a place. I...um...travel a lot and I pick up work where I...where I can..yea that's right. Like working in kitchens to wash the uh..plates and cups and the like and picking fruit from trees. You know this and that" She told Ren. Arydun although she wasn't really lying about what she did, still seemed to struggle with certain human words and way of speech. Stammering at some points as she tried to remember what to say.Once she replied to Ren's question the girl then returned to eating, stuffing her face with the meal and like the others it was gone in minutes.
"Ah, so you're a freeter," Ren nodded, having accepted that answer. It was understandable, more or less. Still, there were quite a few inconsistencies with her supposed job and the story she gave him. The stuttering and stammering didn't help her case either. Mentally he was ticking off various demon subspecies he could remember, as well as some significant wanted criminals from the news for good measure. He didn't bother the girl as she ate quickly, just kept to himself, analyzing what information he had as well as what he could gather from her appearance and visible belongings...
"...That book looks old," Ren remarked, having spotted the aged dragon book Arydun had been hauling around. He couldn't really read the script at all, having declined taking any foreign languages classes, but it didn't look like anything he'd seen in his lifetime. It definitely looked like something that should be at the National Library, in any case. Ren continued, "can't quite decipher the script... Doesn't appear to be a writing that's particularly known or well distributed..." The Terrenian tapped his fingers on the table, "Your story's inconsistent with quite a few things I've picked up, too." Ren felt safe enough. Even if she reacted adversely to what he was going to say, there were too many people for her to start something.
"My hypothesis? You're either a dragon or a thief. Maybe both."
