Elliot Silber
Essentials
Full Name: Elliot Silber
Nickname(s): Rubedo, Ellie
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birthday: 9/9
Affiliation: The Rikimaru Family
Written Appearance: Elliot stands at an average height of 5"9. His choice in attire tends to stray towards the more formal side of things, but he does have some casual wear. Both his hair and his eyes share the matching color of red, which he also prefers to have his clothes match as well.
He wouldn't call himself handsome, but he wouldn't describe himself as ugly either. His features can be classified as above average. His body type is only average though.
Personal
Personality: This young man has a somewhat strange personality. He's extremely good at seeing through people, but awful at deceiving them. He's prideful, but he doesn't seem to have any hang-ups about asking for assistance with anything with the exception of a few. He's an extremely stubborn person who loves to get involved in things that don't have anything to do with him. If there was one word to describe him perfectly, it would be troublesome.
The most notable part of him is his tendency to pick fights. This irritating quality of his manifested due to building his own personal honor system. Fights are sacred to Elliot because they're the easiest way to understand someone. It is also the same reason why he staunchly refuses to kill anyone. Bringing people to half-death through violence? Well, that's acceptable in his eyes.

Backstory: Elliot Silber was a somewhat normal child with normal values growing up. He had loving parents and some nice friends. He was the furthest thing from supernatural. The only thing that could be stated as uncommon about him would be his German heritage. Life was dull and boring back then. Just how he liked it.
That easily changed like all other sob stories other people have when he was 15 years old. There were odd incidents of a serial killer in his town, but he was a normal person who put that out of his mind. He had other things to worry about like his part-time job. That normal life was brutally destroyed with him coming home to a party of gore. He snapped and then came back to a burning house. He didn't know why he had this power over fire, but he practiced it in hopes of hunting down the murderer. He dropped out of high school and took all sorts of odd jobs to fuel his burning rage.
He found the serial killer multiple times and engaged him every time in a fight. He could never defeat the monster in human skin, but with each fight he grew to reluctantly understand the freak more and more. He had to adapt to him mentally and physically.
The serial killer had absurd speed, which forced Elliot to push his perception speed to the max to barely keep up with him. It almost seemed like the serial killer barely tried as well. The past two years allowed Elliot to hone his speed and reflexes all for battles against him.
Empathizing with someone possessing a warped mindset warped his own into what it is today. A meddler that believes he knows best and forcefully reaching his desired conclusion for any events. It's that which destroyed his ability to understand normal people, so he decided to connect with people the only way he knew how. Just like he understood parts of his family's murderer through battle, he can only empathize with others the same way.
He chased that serial killer for 2 years, eventually making his way towards the city of Mahoukyo. He has refined his Soul all this time for just that fight.
At least he met up with the Rikimaru Family. That family suited him well because he had to face one of them in a fight to join. To him, they're not all that bad. Their troublemaking nature suits him quite well. He'll follow them as long as they don't get in the way of his goal.
Those with normal values cannot get along with Elliot.
For he desires to reach everything in the world.
Magic
Very High | Intermediate | Capable
Elliot specializes in burning things and charring them to pieces. His magic is extremely focused on flames as hot as hellfire itself. Naturally, he's immune to fire as well. Using this magic combined with his inhuman accuracy, he can intricately burn whatever he targets. He prefers making constructs of fire to control his flames rather then just spewing them. On death's door, he will absolutely cauterize his wounds to keep on going. He's done it so many times, that he's grown used to fatal injuries.
This isn't the true danger of his magic though.
Using his full power, he can twist the world into one purely of flames called Muspelheim. It's like putting him and his opponent into the cannon of a barrel. A 100 square meter zone where his grasp is infinite and he no longer has to adjust for accuracy by this point, for all he has to do is fire the barrel and wash his enemy in flames. He almost never does this though due to the fact that it drains him of everything and it's too risky for his opponent and him as well. The fact that overclocking like this will start burning him from the inside out and the fact that it's very likely to kill means he will almost never use this in a fight.
Other
• Though he has a hard time getting along with normal people, he gets along with abnormal people almost too well.
• He only wears somewhat formal clothes to look cool.
• He doesn't really hate his target all that much. It was burning hot in the beginning, but it eventually cooled to lukewarm at best.
Cristian Aurscu
"Running away is not an option. Running away is not an option. Yes indeed, running away is certainly not an option."
Essentials
Full Name: Cristian Aurscu
Nickname(s): Father Aurscu, Cris
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Birthday: 4/4
Affiliation: Isamu Family
Written Appearance: A golden-haired man that stands above six feet. His eyes are usually narrowed to give off a gentle disposition, but they do open sometimes to reveal a deep blue. He wears a typical priest's cassock in black and has his cross always on his neck. His golden hair is tied up in a low ponytail.
Personal
Personality: Cristian at his core is a twisted individual who has many layers to unravel. He is a kind priest, a devil, a saint, and a sinner. It's almost impossible to piece together what his true nature is, but it is hinted by the odd mannerisms that seem out of place. He is not a kind priest. Though he likes to make people smile, he can no longer feel the warmth given off by those smiles. One word to describe him would be aloof.
He's always smiling no matter the occasion. The only times where he hasn't smiled are days where his precious children died. He prays, eats, showers, and talks to everyone with a smile. No matter the person, even if it was a monstrous individual, he would greet that person with a smile.

Backstory: Cristian was an abnormal man who was very attuned to the supernatural world from the moment of his birth. It was like there were circuits in his brain wired to see the world a different way all the way from back then, which shaped his life dramatically. He could hear the thoughts of everything: animals, plants, rocks, and even people. He couldn't control it and he was going mad, so he decided to escape to the life of a priest.
While most priests take up this profession to comfort others, Cristian was a person who sought comfort from others. Hearing the thoughts of others created a cynic in him, so he surrounded himself with children to feel positive thoughts. Those happy days didn't last long, for he was going to buy flowers to decorate the church/orphanage, he came back to see it on fire. He threw himself into that fire to at least save some lives, but all around him was death.
He even contemplated throwing himself into the fire, but he didn't need to make that decision. The fire had already reached him. It was then that he heard the dying thoughts of his wonderful children he took care of. He couldn't bare those tortuous and intrusive thoughts anymore so he cracked and shattered that power of his. The dying thoughts still reached the core of his soul though.
'Don't die.' His terrifying magic that he likened to a curse activated unwillingly in a warped way with the souls of those children pouring into his body, giving him the strength needed to survive the fire. He wanted to cry, but the priest was twisted into a man that could only smile at what remained.
The pure desires of his precious children wanting him to live formed a distortion within him. Cristian decided to take on the path of eternal penance. He traveled to places with high death tolls and performed many funeral services to let people rest in peace. He could not control the fact that the souls of anything that died would rush inside of him. He became more and more twisted even though he tried so hard to control it. He distorted so much that he forgot what his beloved children's craving were.
All his efforts to stop this curse were in vain and so he traveled to Mahoukyo, for this was his last hope. A city of the blatant supernatural is the only thing he can believe to contain this monstrous sin inside him. He was grateful that the Isamu family was kind enough to take in someone like him.
He is a sinner who vowed to repent. He vowed to never forget his sins, never to run away again.
Magic
Exceptional | Beginner | Talented
Everything has a soul.
This is the fundamental truth of magic, which Cristian is more intertwined with than others. His magic is truly the understanding of souls. He can hear and feel the innermost thoughts of souls and connect with him. The part of his power that leads him to understanding is what he destroyed because he could no longer bear it. This twisted into the anomalous power that takes in souls to increase his own body's durability. Because of all the death he has seen, the large number of souls have bolstered his durability to obscene levels. He cannot prevent the souls from flowing in for some reason.
Cristian can flip his obscene defense to an equally obscene offense, but this removes his powerful soul armor, leaving him as vulnerable as any ordinary man. This offense is a golden spear that's made of all the souls he has gathered, which is fired at high speeds. This can only be used once per day because he refuses to practice this abominable magic.
Other
- If it is possible to ______ people, then Cristian will truly go off the deep end. He's already halfway there.
- He tends to contradict himself quite often.
- The glasses are for show.
- Though he has a strong mind, this priest has a sore spot that if cracked open, will break him.
- He will continue walking the road of eternal penance forever.
