Tsubamegaeshi

Yep, I'm interested.

Although I think I need more information. If this is going to be an MMO-type thing, are there going to be classes?

Slice-of-Life Anime High School!

Also interested. Seems fun and simple.

Realm Builder

Interested. I think I could come up with a magic system for the RP (assuming it's high fantasy). If not, then I also have an idea for a lair.

Einz Grimcast, the Necromancer

---

Age:
Physically, Einz would be 16.

His actual age is... also 16. Not much change there. Although it should probably be noted that Einz is immortal... sort of. See powers for an explanation.

Gender:
Male

Alignment:
Villain - Neutral Evil

Powers:
Underline - Main power/source of power.
Italics - Sub-powers derived from the main power/source of power.

Necromancy
Brought about by his own personal studies and a previous reincarnations power, Einz has a natural affinity for necromancy. His abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, life forces and souls; mainly for his own purposes. The abilities bestowed by necromancy can be applied in different ways.

Reanimation/Summoning
Einz's main use of necromancy. Provides the ability to reanimate and/or summon the dead for the owner's use. Most of Einz's plans revolve around the creation of undead armies or groups. Most of the undead subordinates created tend to be skeletons, as per his preference in minions. The undead created don't have much sentience, and must constantly be monitored by Einz as a result - something which becomes increasingly difficult the more undead there are to control.

Soul Manipulation
The manipulation of souls. Despite the name, this sub-power does not allow Einz to directly manipulate souls in a puppetry sort of way, but instead gives him the ability to collect souls, which he stores within Amren's Amulet, an amulet which has necromantic connotations. One of the most common applications used by Einz is the enchantment of weapons through the use of souls. The souls required to actually enchant a weapon vary based upon the type of enchantment, but Einz only has knowledge of some basic elemental enchantments, which have somewhat high soul costs, which prevents him from engaging in such activities most of the time.

Mediumship
The ability to see and commune with souls of the deceased. Einz doesn't use this power often, as most of the time the souls he finds are collected within the Amren's Amulet. The power is occasionally used to obtain information of particularly ancient or intelligent souls, and can be fairly useful as a result.

---

Lich Ritual
Several months ago, Einz had conducted an ancient ritual in order to become a Lich. However, it ended in failure due to unforeseen variables which took place on that day. The failed ritual only bestowed two powers onto Einz, both of which are fairly trivial at his current stage of existence.

Immortality...?
Due to a failed Lich Ritual taking place around a month ago, Einz only has the benefit of semi-immortality. He won't age, or die from age, but he can still be killed like any normal person. The only exception to this would be being decapitated, in which he is immune. Because this ability had only been bestowed onto Einz in recent months, it would take several years for the effects of this power to become relevant at all.

Head Liberation
A secondary, less useful power obtained from the same Lich Ritual. Einz has the ability to survive without a head, and may detach and reattach it at will. This renders him immune to death by decapitation, but it is too specific of a death to be too useful most of the time.

Weapons:
A shovel.
Surprisingly, it isn't enchanted, and has no special effects. It is pretty durable as far as shovels go though.

Personality:
Calm, level-headed and easygoing. Einz is a super villain who fits the criteria most of the time, but not all of the time. He is known among heroes as one who is extremely nonchalant and cordial in his reigns of terror. He is one to make 180° turns in what he does. Sometimes he plays the role of a pragmatic villain, and only seeks to fulfil self-oriented objectives that he's set for himself without deviating to kick puppies, steal from banks or engage in unnecessary destruction unless it would further his plans in some way, whereas other times he is known to cause needless carnage without actual cause. The logic or thought behind his actions tends to be a mystery known only to him, and the inner workings seem to remain an enigma. Most of his plans tend to revolve around two main objectives: Collect souls, or cause needless destruction, with some room for deviation at times based on what exactly his plan-of-the-day is. Regardless of what he actually does, it's guaranteed that he'll engage it with a nonchalant attitude and casual demeanour.

In spite of what he does, Einz has been known to engage in acts which don't befit a villain at all. He's staged raids with skeletons on Neo-Tokyo before, only to be found an hour later in one of their shopping centres as if he didn't actually do it, and sometimes denying any claims that he did.

There have been times where people have searched Einz out for the sake of things such as weapon enchanting. Getting past the unethical ideas of using souls for such a purpose, Einz has helped people more than once by enchanting their weapons with elemental effects, or communing with their dead loved ones. Sometimes he'll ask for nothing in return. Other times he'll ask for money. Sometimes he'll deny their requests for the sake of denying them. It all depends on his mood at the time.

Perhaps what he does is simply a way of him getting a rise out of heroes who inevitably foil him. Einz has done it before. He'll do it again. Alternatively, he could engage in that other thing that he had been meaning to do. It makes little difference to him.

History:
The first account of the Grimcast family came thousands of years ago, following the notoriety of a powerful practitioner of magic. Amren Grimcast was known to live within a populated village whose name is now lost to the ages. Amren Grimcast was known to be a practitioner of magic. Amren Grimcast was executed alongside the entirety of this village. The reasoning behind it is something of a misconception. One would be led to believe it was out of spite, out of jealously of the prosperity of the village. This is not the case. The slaughter of the village came about after it became apparent of Amren Grimcast's endeavours. He was a necromancer, a mage affronting life itself. He was hated for this, and he sought to bring back the lost art of resurrection. Such magic that tampered with life itself was something to be abhorred, and as far as the kingdoms of old were concerned, the entire village was a tainted and demonic place due to his presence. The mere mention of his name was now a crime, and the entire ordeal was something which would not be spoken of, what took place there would not be known. While his art of resurrection would not come to be realized, Amren Grimcast would be able to reincarnate to resume his goals at a much later date.

However, this was not the case, and while he himself did not reincarnate, the potency of his magic did. The necromantic power once owned by the long-deceased Amren Grimcast lives on in one of the more recent generations of the Grimcast family. In Einz. It was something the family was aware of, and something which was expected. While most if not all of the Grimcast family members were practitioners in some shape or form, Einz was one of the only ones with a now-natural affinity of the art of necromancy, picking up where Amren had left off. Of course, Einz was rather casual about the entire situation, and had no cause to restore the art of necromancy, but he was coaxed into doing so by the rest of the family. At quite a young age, he embarked on a journey to restore the long lost art... and subsequently got bored and stopped. He settled in the place that he stopped; an old fort which likely served historical importance, and existed not too far from Neo-Tokyo.

Before engaging in restoring lost arts, Einz desired to achieve a greater power. This power would have been found through lichdom, and after extensively gathering the materials to do so; a large array of souls, skeletons and blood, and the necessary sigil of incantation. However, he wasn't even halfway through the ritual before he realized just how much longer it would take for the ascent (or descent, based on your point of view) into undeath would take, and he subsequently gave up during the ritual. Stepping outside of the incantation sigil not only destroyed the ritual taking place, but also did not even provide half of the benefits of becoming a lich, if any. He would have to perform it again, and actually see it through this time. It was around this point in time that he discovered the existence of Neo-Tokyo, and has been using it as a means of harvesting the necessary materials for a ritual for quite a while now.

Although, as of late it's been something Einz has been putting off in favour of collecting souls specifically, or stealing food/money from Neo-Tokyo. Sometimes he wonders if he'll find the means to recreate the ritual soon, let alone withstand the waiting that takes place during it.

Weakness:

There are a lot of things that Einz can do with necromancy, but simply doesn't do. Be it out of laziness or just not finding it in his interests most of the time, Einz has squandered quite a bit of his potential as a result.

Einz is fairly unpredictable and without many clear motives. This can work in a hero's favour, and it's actually possible to stop some of his plans by just asking him to stop. You'll get a simple "Ok." and the fight would end. At the same time, he could just as easily say "No." and continue the fight. It's based upon luck, really.

While Einz doesn't age, he can still be killed.

Einz has the physical strength of an average 16 year old.

There are many things stronger than the average 16 year old.

Aside from his ability to create undead legions, he doesn't have much combat prowess. Although he is pretty decent with that shovel if the situation (and he himself) calls for it.

@Turboshitter

I guess it's just a matter of people being busy.

It'll probably pick up on the weekend or something.

The Four Siblings of Hell

Abaddon

---

The last to get ready, but probably the most prepared of the siblings was Abaddon. He didn't take the time to sleep, but he didn't take the time to get ready for school either (not until the very last minute, anyway). Instead, Abaddon was focused on what he originally called the "Unity of Squares" that were on his desk in his room. Or as humans would call it, a "computer". Since late at night, up until even later at night, up until the early morning, Abaddon had been trying to figure out this supposed human machine, much to his annoyance.

He started by looking at the "Rectangle" , which sat on the desk under the main Square, at least Abaddon thought it was the main Square. The Rectangle had many buttons on it, and some had letters on them. This was good, he thought. There were things he could recognize on the Rectangle. He tried pressing one. Nothing happened. The Third Sibling scowled, pressing a different button instead. Nothing happened. Before long he was pressing many buttons in quick succession. They all did nothing. He sighed.

"Why would humans have such a worthless item in their homes?"

He didn't know. Maybe there was something else he had to do before he could access the secrets of the Rectangle. He stepped back, examining the Squares in their entirety. He noticed that the largest Square had several buttons on it, but the one that proved to be the most intriguing was the one with a odd symbol within it. Naturally, Abaddon pressed it. It took a few seconds, but the machine activated, and one of the Squares lit up. Abaddon smirked. No human machine would beat him.

Since then, Abaddon had been working with the Unity of Squares for around two hours. He had discovered that the Unity of Squares was actually called a computer. He had also discovered the internet, and by typing words into a mysterious bar through the use of the Rectang-- keyboard, Abaddon was able to find out information on pretty much anything he had questions for. He had gotten the hang of it, and had been using the bar to learn about many things, and had visited several websites, although the one that brought him the most intrigue (and the only one he actually remembers the name of) was...Wikipedia? At least he thought that was the name. Abaddon preferred to call it the Ultimate Earthland Book. Abaddon smiled at his discovery.

"This com-pu-ter has all the information I require!" The Third Sibling exclaimed loudly. Perhaps too loudly.

"Once again, my siblings are beneath me!" He shouted. Still too loudly.

Strategy would call for him to temporarily keep his Ultimate Earthland Book a secret. At least for now. With the magical Earthland Book, he had knowledge. And knowledge is power...at least that's what humans apparently say. He found that on the internet too.

However, Abaddon's adventures online proved to be time-consuming, and he ended up frantically rushing to get ready. As he operated the many contraptions in the bathroom, he would quickly return to the computer to try and research things he didn't understand - which consumed even more time. By the time he actually got ready for school, there was very little time to actually make it there. Even so, he had a smug look on his face as he made his way down the mansions stairs his discovery had definitely made him more complacent than he normally was.

"VENGEANCE!"
- Abaddon, upon having his pencil borrowed without his knowledge.

---

Age:
15

Prominent Ability:

Magically Adept
Abaddon has a potent magical affinity which stems from his vast intellect. While his focus on magic allows him to have a versatile set of spells ranging from laughably useless to extremely dangerous at his disposal, it also makes him slightly weaker in terms of physical strength in comparison to his siblings, as he doesn't train his body as they would. In addition, Abaddon tends to use his magic for extremely menial tasks, and constantly runs the risk of being discovered as a result. So far, Abaddon has found the most usage in his illusion magic, which removes his need for a human form (at least, he thinks it does).

Brief Background:
Third born of the King of Hell, with a demonic mother whose name has been recently removed from records following a traitorous coup, Abaddon showed great promise at an early age. He commonly conversed with the lost souls and denizens of the underworld, although he found the most interest in speaking to those of a great understanding of particular subjects, namely earth itself. Abaddon commonly talked to the souls of the intelligent, which subsequently inspired and prompted him to become significantly more studious and thoughtful himself.

It was no surprise that Abaddon was one of the most excited to engage in the world walk. Earth was a whimsical place to him. All of his knowledge of the place came from both books, and the stories of the academic souls found in hell. He was quick to embrace human culture (despite getting it wrong occasionally), and even quicker to study it. So much so is his enjoyment on earth that he was likely the least disturbed by the closing of the gate, and likely wouldn't mind staying on earth that much longer. Abaddon has become particularly interested in the internet, where he now gains most of his ideas regarding his petty revenge and pranks.

Positive Traits:

Intellect
Time spent speaking with the long-dead souls of scholars and academics in addition to Abaddon's already studious nature has granted him a great deal of intelligence regarding both hell and earth, more so than the average demon. This grants him an advantage when it comes to planning, understanding magic and general problem solving.

Manipulative
Stemming from his heritage, Abaddon has the manipulative nature befitting your everyday demon. He sees himself as a chess master, and everyone else is on the board. This trait works in conjunction with his intelligence, and serves as his main form of getting people to play into his plans, be it for self-gain or for something ridiculously pointless.

Mischevious
In addition to his manipulative nature, Abaddon commonly makes it a hobby to cause trouble for classmates and siblings alike. Normally through long-winded plans that end in mundane pranks; most of which he finds on the internet.

Negative Traits:

Arrogant
Both his intelligence and his magical adeptness make Abaddon extremely arrogant to the point of severely underestimating his fellow classmates and siblings, sometimes ruining whatever plans that he's made for certain people.

Perfectionist
Abaddon's high standards sometimes conflict with what he and others are actually capable of. There have been many times where Abaddon has not finished class work, or has been put into complete despair about test scores, simply because they were not perfect enough to him.

Petty
While he remains rather calm and collected when everything goes according to his desires, Abaddon is prone to seeking vengeance over the most minor and stupid of things. Most recently, he has been seeking vengeance because somebody accidentally stepped on his shoe.

---

Human Appearance:
Unlike his other siblings, Abaddon's demon form is humanoid enough to pass off as a human without the need for a different form. Through the use of illusion magic, he makes it so his ears appear significantly more human. This raises the issue of his horns, which do not appear to come off. However, Abaddon uses illusion magic to make it appear as though his horns are removable when he is questioned about them, which leads people to believe they are fake.

Human Name:
Himitsu Kaito

School Year:
Second Year.
