Holy Soldier — Roleplayer Guild

@Holy Soldier Okay, here's my first try. It may seem a bit stereotypical in places but, as always, I'll make what ever changes you desire.

Name: Jace Derby
Nickname: 
Age: 24
Race: Warlock
Height:5’10”
Weight:170 lbs
Hair Colour: Dirty Blonde
Eye Colour: Green

Description: Jace does, at first glance, look like any high school girls dream, long flowing locks, green eyes, yadda yadda yadda. If you got close enough, you would see that his face is covered in thin scars from various fights, as well as the result of an abusive father. He is slight of build, and would have difficulty holding his own in a straight up fist fight, though he is an expert at running and hiding. (It's cooler when you don't say it like that) He does of course, like any self respecting goth themed spy, wear a black leather jacket, black T-shirt, and dark jeans most of the time, though he holds back on the make up. In fact, he doesn't even wear any jewellery. It might glint.

Visual: 
Jaime Campbell Bower (Jace - Shadow hunters)

Personality: Cool, calm and collected, Jace is well aware of his limits and ensures that he stays within them. He could be described as cold, detached, maybe a bit creepy. Yeah, he’s all of those things. He is also inanely curious, and will follow whatever the object of his curiosity through heaven and hell until he loses interest. He learned to detach himself from his emotions early on, or it just hurt more.

Background: Jace grew up in a broken household, with an abusive father, confused mother, all the usual stuff. He learned how to fend for himself on the street pretty early on, but he never got involved in any gangs or dealers. It was so much more fun just to watch. He soon learned all there was to know about all the local gangs, their leaders, their suppliers, everything. It’s a lot easier when no-one can see you.

He discovered the power when he was very young, hiding in plain sight against the wall, begging that no-one saw him. And no-one did. He’s almost certain that his mother and father never noticed, in fact, sometimes he wonders whether they are aware that he exists at all.
Getting older, he soon learned that when you hold secrets people want to keep, they become very easy to manipulate. Throughout his late teenage years, Jace came to dominate the local underground, only requiring a small light show, a spark of magic, to convince any hired thugs not to mess with him.

This, of course, was what brought the syndicate down onto him. He wasn’t given much of a choice, he could join the syndicate, or he could, well, be eradicated. Jace was only slightly pissed at being removed from his empire. They had, in fact, opened up a whole new world for him to explore, and they were going to pay him to explore it. He is a spy for the syndicate. While an agent might benefit or even attempt to make a reputation, a famous spy isn’t doing his job right. He has excelled at his task, and many raids have been pulled off flawlessly, the enemy having no idea that they had been infiltrated. 

Since joining, Jace has been a major asset, and a headache to his superiors, as he is prone to getting bored and wandering off. He’s been warned that next time, he’ll face sanctions. He restrains his use of magic to relatively minor tricks and illusions, not willing to take the risk that comes with greater power. Why should he? He doesn’t need it.

This background goes from gangs to suddenly mentioning he has magical ability. Since he's born a Warlock, I would expect there to be more in his background about this.

Weapon(s): Heckler & Koch HK45 compact

Wolf biter - A silver longsword purchased at some cost, Jace then imbued it with magical properties to make it harder, sharper, but above all, invisible to an ordinary human eye. The ritual took a lot out of him, and he has never tried anything like it since.

Armoured Jacket - Not exactly heavy stuff, but the black leather jacket he wears has thin metal plates over his vital areas. A life saver in a knife fight.

Skills: Detached - Jace is almost not inside his own mind, rather, an observer to it. Some people may call him insane, but it allows him to detect any abnormalities and illusions, and rationalise them. Any attempt to subtly influence Jace with magic or other supernatural means, or cause him to see illusions, will fail. Note: He will still see the illusion, but anything to overt, and he’ll know its fake. He's still susceptible to outright hostile mind control.

Swordsman - He’s not going to spend that much money on a sword, and then not learn how to use it.

Interrogation - Sometimes, blackmail just doesn’t work, and he has to resort to...other methods. Having perfected his craft over the course of his syndicate career (even if it’s not technically allowed) given time, Jace can make anyone talk.

Free runner - What do you do, when the bad guy gets in a car, and you don’t have one? Take a short cut. Jace is a very proficient free runner, and it is one of the only instances when he is prone to showing off. Even if no-one's watching.

Power(s): Invisibility - Over a lifetime of practice, Jace can perform this almost effortlessly. However, there are, as always, limitations. Any longer than 10 minutes, and he starts to strain. Half an hour is the max if he wants to recover in the same day. When he goes invisible, everything he is carrying does also, as well as, if he choses, one other person he is touching, though it is a considerable strain for him.

Light show - James knows how to use magic to intimidate. Glowing swords, fire balls, all the epic, scary stuff. Some of it even does damage. He also does amazing fireworks.(I need you to write exactly what he can do with this ability so that if you ever decide to use it IC, you're not doing anything unexpected or something not thoroughly described in your CS.)

Magic - Like all warlocks, Jace possesses the ability to take it to the next level, he just chooses not to.(Again, you need to detail this ability. You can't leave it vague. Otherwise, if you don't plan for your character to use it, then don't even mention it.)

Incognito - Jace excludes a magical aura that minutely affects a person's mind. As long as he doesn’t speak or move into their direct line of vision, the seem to just, forget that he’s there. This is always on, even if he doesn’t want it to be.

I'll try and make it pretty if it goes in the character section.@CelticSoldier
