On another note, I'm tinkering around with Photoshop with some of the character images here, and I've come up with some interesting results! Some tweaking would make it good enough for sharing.
(DISC IS UNDERGOING A VISUAL UPDATE, BUT FOR NOW, HE'S MOSTLY COMPLETE)
---

__________________________________
Name: Sangue Rana
Nickname: Deathedge, 3Edgy5Me, 2Spooky4Me, etc.
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Powers: Sanguine Gauss - Sangue has the ability to create blood and charge it with electromagnetic forces, allowing certain creations to be propelled at high speeds. He can also charge his own blood with electromagnetism, though he has yet to actually get used to running around at ridiculous speeds. (Despite him trying it out for years)
Sangue is invulnerable to blood manipulation and damage from electricity but vulnerable in the darkness. Contrast to the nicknames people gave him, Sangue has trouble doing things in the dark, and is skilled at doing only one thing in it: sleeping.
Skills: Self-defense, running, listening, blaming the world, being blandly normal at times
Hobbies: Reading, watching people
Personality: While Sangue looks like quite the edgy person, Deathedge is, ironically, so normal, he tends to become one of the more unique people to interact with. He holds a quiet nature, despite having a naturally loud and gruff voice. Sangue becomes most active when he either gets plentifully entertained, slightly ticked off, or completely confused about a situation. Though his looks imply that he is not the brightest person around, Sangue boasts a surprisingly complex thinking process. He is known to blush faster than most people due to his Sanguine Gauss power.
Background: Sangue hails from a normal house in a normal country. To be exact, he lived in a particular isolated village, and even then, his nickname was "The Edgy Countrybumpkin." Sangue first discovered his power when he accidentally slapped his dog with a hand covered in blood. Thinking that Sangue tried to murder his own dog, his parents nearly gave him the longest berating of all time. The man saved himself by accidentally waving his hands at them in shock, which sent two pillars of blood straight at his parents. When news of the accident spread, he officially became "Deathedge;" the man who became edgy the instant moment something went wrong with his life.
Of course, Deathedge did not want to live with such an edgy-a*s name, so he attempted to hide the power from everyone... though, at that point, all of the villagers knew about what he was capable of. So despite the accident that occurred, Sangue lived a normal middle schooler's life.
Then, his parents thought about sending him to the Orean Cause because it had people with powers like he did.
...
...
...
...The end.
And yes, even the reason behind why he began to attend Orean Cause was abnormally normal, coming from someone who accidentally found his power by slapping a dog.
Clubs: None; there is, however, a fan-club of Sangue that makes up a bunch of fanfictions of his "supposed tales involving the Yakuza, the U.S. military, and the Illuminati." The fan-club's name is, predictably, Bloodedge
Light and Sound Manipulation: Disc can manipulate the color of lights around him, along with the strength of his voice and music at abnormal levels.
The Ball: Disc can summon a disco ball that seemingly hangs out of an interdimensional pocket that appears slightly above him. This disco ball likes to shoot around lights sent towards it like any other disco ball would. Feel free to toss in rainbows once this things pops up.
Skills
Get Baellin’: Disc takes out a boombox, putting on the ground, before dancing his heart out. During this time, Disc will perform a plethora of showy, heart-filled dance moves.
Groove Maniac: Disc can jam out to absolutely any given song. This includes even the most incoherent of melodies.
Bassmatazz: Disc can create auditory “bass” illusions; this means that he can affect the strength of certain beats, allowing him to perform identical dances with others using a completely different power behind his steps.
Boxing: Disc knows how to boxercise. Though his specialty is obviously not combat, Disc enjoys working out with this particular exercise and somehow made his own self-defense mechanism out of it.
Hobbies
Dancing, listening to other kinds of music, boxercise, parodying old plays by “remixing” it, Minesweeper
Personality
Lights. Camera. Action. Disc holds one of the most annoying personalities to those who are not particularly in the mood to dance. Boasting an innocence that surpasses human understanding when it comes to dancing, Disc enjoys to watch others dance, and feels satisfaction from praises directed towards his performances. Bubbly, talkative, and extremely music-oriented, Disc also holds a soft spot in helping shy people chill their poor bones out, though he usually found himself getting smacked into the floor in the most fabulous way possible. Self-confidence oozes out of him, as his number one reason for doing things some people cannot understand is “I am fabulous.”
Background
Disc never lived a normal life before, and he did not care about this at all! There were some dudes who challenged him into dance-offs, and though Disc himself did not know how it felt natural to challenge someone into a dance battle, he accepted and won every single one of such matches. Some people wanted to hire him, though he did not find most of such places to be good places to happily dance off to his disco music in. His parents, while dead, managed to leave behind a great amount of wealth. As the inheritor of the money, Disc gave away a fair amount of it to several orphanages, hoping to contribute a little to the children who no longer had any parents. Other than the fact that his parents no longer breathed with the beats of life, Disco lived happily. He somehow wandered into the Orean Cause and decided to become a student there. Fortunately for him, he did not need to go back to elementary school or anything, for he somehow knew his own portion of high school education.
A girl was once gifted and cursed with two spirits that watched over her. These two spirits, angel and demon, overwatched her during her isolation from the world. She remained locked in a prison, trapped inside an orb of light and darkness, ultimately keeping her away from everything harmful to her. As of recent days, however, a man had unlocked the seal, and the girl now found herself waking up in a forest. Without a word, the man, armed with three swords and a blood-painted face, brought the girl to Orean Cause. The girl, who knew nothing other than the two spirits that watch over her, now finds herself living a confusing life at the school. Some call her an angel, some call her a demon. The angel and demon call her “Saya.”

Saya
Nicknames: Child of Light, Child of Dark, "The Follower"
Age: 17 (Stayed dormant for one hundred thousand years)
Gender: Female
Powers
Ilvya and Duatos: Saya has two spirits watching over her, one an angel and one a demon. The angel can ease the troubled souls of Saya and people around her, while the demon can cast terrifying magic known to exist only in forbidden arts. Not even the strongest of demonic mages can replicate the unique spells.
Wings of Lone: Saya has wings, even if she does not how to use them. At day, her wings are feathery, and at night, her wings are covered in demonic bone artifacts. At day, her wings can be used to let her sort of float in the air, and at night, her wings can propel her around wildly. Casting moonlight or daylight upon her wings will slowly change its forms, though this method of changing the wings' forms can only happen when Saya has the wings out.
Influence: Saya gains “Influence” from those she interacts with. She may become similar and develop a habit other people have, though this can be refuted by simply telling her to stop.
Skills
-Finding things -Being curious -Being blunt -Making food -Being diligent
Hobbies
Saya tends to follow people she becomes fond of. Other than this, there are no known hobbies she actually enjoys doing.
Personality
Saya does not speak often, as she can only speak due to the influence of Ilvya. She is silent, but somewhat curious of many things around her. The girl herself is harmless, though the spirits that watch over her are a completely different story. She seems incapable of showing her emotions properly, as she always puts up a blank look at many circumstances. She develops traits based on interactions with others.
When Saya feels nervous, she holds her white doll tightly; this can easily be used as a signal that Duatos may be physically summoned to directly settle matters that are disturbing her.
A demonic spirit that follows Saya. Unlike Ilvya, Duatos is impossible to fully tear away from Saya. As long as Saya lives, Duatos can not be sealed by all forms of sealing magic. Duatos holds a plethora of offensive magic spells that can potentially obliterate even the immortal lives of phoenixes, but his power is held back by Saya's soul.
Duatos cannot directly receive damage, but if his physical apparition is damaged enough, he will be driven back and will not fight for lengthy amount of time. Unlike Ilvya, Duatos can withstand powerful attacks regularly and cast powerful physical/magic attacks, but in return, cannot provide emotional support via magic.
Duatos enjoys pessimism, but despises it once it reaches Saya. Despite hating all things alive and well, the soul of the girl prevents him from laying the world under complete waste. He is always wary of Saya's safety and does his best to protect her, even without the consent of others. Saya calls him "Papa." Duatos is known to have a humorous rivalry with Ilvya, though it never gets in the way of his job.
Ilvya
"Saya, don't touch that!"
(Age: Presumably 26; Actual Age Unknown)
An angelic spirit that follows Saya. Unlike Duatos, Ilvya may manifest a physical form at any given time. As long as Saya lives, Ilvya cannot be sealed by any sealing magic. Ilvya boasts abilities and spells that can bring emotional support to many kinds of people. She holds the power to save people from utter destruction.
Ilvya can not directly receive damage, but if her physical apparition is damaged enough, she will lose her physical form. Unlike Duatos, Ilvya has access to certain angelic powers. She gives the mute Saya the ability to talk by default, and tends to act as a guide for the curious girl. Due to her isolation from other angels, Ilvya does not give other angels any special treatment and treats them just as she would to a person. Her rank as a seraph automatically ranks her as a high officer in the ranks of Heaven, though it serves with little importance to her due to spending a large amount of time watching over Saya.
Saya calls her "Sister." Ilvya calls Duatos "the oldest man alive" and claims to hate him, going as far as to consistently enter slap-contests with him, but she does care greatly about the demon that guards the little girl.
Additional Appearances
Fun Facts
-She never seems to let go of the white doll she was left with. -The demon has two forms: one looks deceptively harmless while the other looks nightmarish and dreadful. The harmless-looking one is usually used to screw around with people.
Sangue Naga - Survival
They all needed wood.
Thus, Sangue went off to get wood.
She collected wood nearby groups of trees, but every time she collected a good amount of sticks, she would continuously drop small amounts of the wood she already gathered. The red-haired woman remained aloof, continuing to collect as much wood as she could with one arm. The woman bit on some of the less dirtier sticks in an attempt to carry more wood.
Struggling with the wood she collected, the woman walked back to where she was to put down her share for the Survival group. Sticks slowly fell off of her moderately small collection wrapped within a single arm, though Sangue did not seem to notice this. She soon dropped the sticks from her arm and opened her mouth, letting two sticks add into her small pile.
"..."
Sangue blinked with her unscarred eye, wondering if she did good enough for a one-armed novice-at-Survival.
The woman then realized that she had to make a fire.
"..."
With a small frown, the woman glanced at her nonexistent second arm before sitting down in front of her small pile of sticks. Picking one stick up, she simply stared at the thing, contemplating on how to make a fire. Thinking of ideas, the woman stepped on one of her sticks as she proceeded to rub it furiously with the stick she held earlier.
Her speed may have caused a small spark, but it took her an extremely long time to make a fire. She would eventually make a tiny fire, accidentally burning her finger because she was quite amazed at how someone like her made a fire in the first place.
With a burnt finger, she stood still, remaining idle with a small frown. A tiny, tiny fire lived in front of her. Sangue quickly doused her finger in a nearby river before returning to her spot.
@NarayanK Why would you wanna change Disc? He's awesome the way he is!
I was just asking for opinions lol
And it's self-explanatory if you actually read through the post I made questioning about his current position in the roleplay. If I recall correctly, I mentioned that he's supposed to be a tribute character to another roleplay's character, meaning that he's unoriginal in a sense, and also lacks a definitive behavior other than being the polar opposite of the character he's based off of. And since said character he's based off of has a chance of returning to a soon-to-be-rebooted roleplay I'm a part of, I'm thinking about giving him more of his own traits without having to modify too much of what he already is. Think of it as a fresh coat of paint that feels familiar but isn't dull at the same time.
I take it that no one really cares about whether Disc changes or not. I will simply apply visual updates to him, then.
My IC post will come tomorrow (since I couldn't really post as Disc until I received feedback).
I will be updating Disc O. Baylor with a massive update. In regards to his personality and backstory, I would like to ask some questions.
- Would you like it if he remained the same or if he gained slightly less insane qualities? This really depends based on your opinions atm.
- Does anyone want him as a quirky character with little backstory or a quirky character with a slightly more prominent backstory?
Currently, Disc's CS is undergoing a big change in terms of visual quality, and I will make changes to his characteristics according to what you think of his current position. I really want to know what people think of his potential so far, and I'm willing to hear feedback for him.

Select everything outside a character with magic wand.
Inverse selection.
Now only the character is selected.
Only the character inside the selection will be saturated.
Ty man. It worked like magic. xP
This'll help me for my next wallpaper! Yey
