@ExpolarIt was the idea you gave, with a few minor tweaks here and there in use and rewrites for the backstory.

Character Sheet (please delete anything in parentheses)
Name: Jackson DuCarthy, but tends to go by "Nidhogg"
Age: 44, but his body is stuck at 24
Birthday: N/A
Magic:

Necromancy: Over the years, Nidhogg has gained a mastery of death-related spells that he can put to use to increase his combat effectiveness. His main use for this is manipulating and creating organic matter, like bones, flesh, blood, etc, to fight his foes, though he can't manipulate the organic matter of things that aren't dead. As such, when he uses this magic, he is usually creating said matter, though as long as he holds a sample of what he's trying to create as catalyst, it makes the process much more efficent. Another way he uses his necromancy is to weaken his foes with spells that inflict status effects.

Necromancy Spells

Bones of the Ancients: This spell allows Nidhogg to summon and/or manipulate bone matter to use as both a weapon and a shield. He can make it as hard and durable as steel, and form a variety of piercing and blunt objects to fight his foes with. He can also form it into a form of segmented armor, if the nee for such things arises.

Sanguine Tendrils: This spell allows him to summon and/or manipulate blood to form a mass of tendrils that can move according to his will. They are vary dangerous weapons with a wide range of uses beyond just combat. Not only can they be used to grip and grab people at will, but they can also be used to form a deadly edge to a weapon by hardening them, and due to the blood almost always being tainted in nature, it has a high tendency to cause wounds to become grossly infected in the long term. They can also be fused together to increase size, strength, and durability, making them gain added use a a suitable form of quick acting defense.

Nidhogg can even uses his own blood for this magic, and has a tendency to form 4-6 tendrils from his back to fight with, often fused with segmented pieces of bone armor to increase their all-around effectiveness, giving better protection for less attack speed. The tend to be stronger than his normal tendrils, but they can't be used in conjunction with other tendrils due to the amount of focus needed to keep them stable.

Grip of Death: A spell that summons skeletal hands from the ground to grip ones foes, this is mainly used as a surprise or set-up attack, holding foes in place while also slowly draining their magical energy, the more hands gripping an target, the faster their energy gets drained. Can also be used in combat to trip someone up, though with out proper preparation time, they hands are generally not that strong.

Fangs of the Underworld: Similar to the Grip of Death, except a fanged skull, spine still attached, burst out of the ground to bite it's victim. The bite is very strong, able to crack stone, and the fangs hold a special poison in them that causes the victim to lose feeling in the affected area, making it incapable of functioning properly. This leads to complete loss of motor functions in a limb and constricted breathing if it makes contact with the torso.

Dragon Tooth Soldiers: Nidhogg, thanks to his regenerative abilities, has a infinite number of teeth, and as such, since his teeth technically count as those of a dragon, he's able to use this with much less restraint than a normal wizard. This spell allows him to raise any corpse he comes across and mutate it into a undead dragoninc warrior that does his being. These ghouls are strong and agile, only capable of dying once their brains have been utterly destroyed. If one just separates the head from the body, it only causes them to have to worry about the head as the headless torso chases after them. This can be fairly taxing, however, so he at most can only summon about 4-5 warriors at any time if he still wants to fight effectively. He shares a telepathic link these monsters, so he can issues orders to them instantneously.

Fetid Rebirth: A much more taxing a special form of the previous spell, Nidhogg prepares a body with a special ritual before he initiates the spell, and instead f an unthinking monster, he creates an intelligent being that is completely bind and loyal to him, but capable of making it's own judgement and decisions. While he can have as many of these as he wants, he saves them for the times where he defeats a particularly impressive foe. These "Reborn" can do anything that they could in life, plus gaining an immunity to pain, becoming basically immortal unless some shoots them in the head, and having the ability to slowly regenerate themselves over time by absorbing the Ethernano in the air. He currently has an unknowable number of them(this could start as zero or I could whip up a few CS for about 2 or 3 that could double as added(or former) members of Shadow Heart, if Lunar is okay with that and you're okay with this

Crawling Horror: THis spell allows him to manipulate and/or summon the flesh, tissue, and muscles of a dead being and use it to form horrifying minions to do his bidding. They are relatively weak and easy to maintain, mainly serving as cannon fodder in battles to keep his opponent busy while he iether sets up an attack or has something more important to do.

Devourer: Nidhogg can regain magical energy and gains a strong healing factor by eating flesh, the more rotted and aged, the better. He gets the most energy from the flesh of a corpse, preferably human, as well as the longest duration for his regenerative buff. The buff is strong enough so that he can heal from most serious wounds within hours, and moderate wounds within an hour, and light wounds with a few minutes, though he'll need to eat a certain amount of flesh to put it into affect, of course. While he can consume dead matter that has been manipulated by his necromancy, but if he created said material, than he doesn't get the buff, though a small portion of the magic used to create the matter can be re-absorbed through this method.

Dragonic Flesh: As a result of consuming such great amounts of the Nidhogg's undead flesh, his own body can adopt draconic attributes, and he can even become a large, dragon-like creature himself, at the cost of a great amount of energy. He can also use this partially in a form similar to Take Over magic, which provides a more focused increase to a particular limb.

Forms

Speed: This form barely changes his physical appearance, only giving him scale-like markings on his face and fore-arms, turning his nails to claws, a tail and a large pair of black wings. This form improves his speed, reflexes, and maneuverabilty, as well as imparting this bonus on to his attacks with his tendrils, giving him an impressive attack speed.

Defense: This form goes for a more defenses strategy, covering his body in thick scales, as well as morphing his body into a more monstrous form. Not only is this form physically stronger, sturdier and more durable, but it also has a portion of a dragon's Magical resistance, making it so that all forms of magic(baring that of dragon slayer's) is less effective against him by a factor of 25-30% while in this form.

Assault: While in this form, he gains an larger increase in strength, a slight amount of magical resistance(like 10-15%) and increased durability , and an increase to his magical power and stamina as well. He also exudes an aura about him of inspires a sense of fear and awe in those around him, which can even be crippling an over-bearing if the affected person is sufficiently weaker than him.

True Form: This is his ultimate last resort ability, as using it will severely drain him of magical energy, leaving him nearly immobile for 2 days, and without the ability to use his magic for 1-2 weeks. He turns into what looks like a full dragon, gains an superior increase to strength, durability, magical power, and his aura becomes a hinderance to all. Not only that, but in this form he can also summon a horde of undead minions to fight for him as well, and gains the ability to launch a devastating beam of chaos energy from his mouth. He can remain in this form for about 2 hours at the longest.

Magic Level: S
History: Jackson DuCarthy had a normal life up until he decided to become an explorer, living comfortably with hi s family, a lovely fiance that he was set to marry soon, and a secret child that he was going to enter the world a few months after that. Life, while hectic, seemed to be going pretty good. However, once he heard of the possibility of lost treasure to be found in a recently unearthed cave, he couldn't resist the thought of securing is family's future with said riches.

If he could've known what awaited him that fateful day, he'd have never stepped foot in that cave.

With a group of several others, they descended, slinking by numerous traps. monsters, and other various hazards, before they finally made it to the ruin sight. It was a huge castle that seemed to have been formed in the shape of a tree, and near the base of the tree where piles upon piles of gold, jewels and riches. Jackson was happy as a man could be, imagining the possibilities of what he could do with such wealth. However, before he could touch a single one, a voice called out to him from deep with in the arboreal fortification. A haunting whisper that plucked at his mind with such seductiveness that he couldn't keep away. Deeper he wen into the castle, the piles of gold giving way to twisted roots of stone and the skeletal remains of other such adventures. The voice brought him to a terrifying sight, the corpse of a large dragon wrapped in the roots, the fetid smell of decay wafting through the air with the stink of death.

And yet, in that moment, it was more delectable then the fattest of roast boar to him, and he was quick to dive in to the carcass, driven by a desire he couldn't explain or refuse. He didn't know for how long he at the corpse, only that when the others came found him, he was alone with nothing but bones surrounding him, and even those were crumbling to dust. For a moment, it seemed like a bad dream, and so he treated it as such. However, as they traveled back to the surface, Jackson couldn't help but feel as if something inside him had changed. His nights were filled with terror, his waking moments haggard and dreadful, and no matter what he did, he couldn't shake of this intense hunger thhat resonated in the pit of his stomach.

Soon he returned home, and soon he was to be married. But as he stood at the alter, staring at his beautiful wife, only one thought could come to mind.

She's cheating on me with my brother and the kid isn't mine.

He didn't know how he knew this, it was almost as if just by smelling her, he could sense all of her sins. Looking across the pews, he found that he was able to do that with all of them. All of their misdeeds and wrong doings were open to him . . . and the smell of all of that sin sent shivers down his spine. When the pedophilic priest asked him to say his vows, he was silent for a long while. And then, everything went black, only the sounds of an intense rumbling could be heard in his ears. And yet, underneath that, he swore he could hear the sounds of screaming, explosions, and death. And it was absolutely enchanting.

When his sight was returned to him, his entire down was devastated, bodies littering the streets and roads, and his wife, his beautiful, delectable morsel of a wife, was looking up at hi with fear in her eyes, begging for her life. But the man that was Jackson DuCarthy was dead and something else inhabited his body now, and it had no feelings of mercy. Only a hunger for flesh that was begging for satisfaction. And so, he consumed her, savagely and without hesitation. and that was when Nidhogg was born, with a grin plastered over his bloodstained mouth as he stood, naked above a town of the dead, reborn into this world, powerful and free.

Years later, as he discovered his body seemed to have stopped aging, he found himself being recruited into a Dark Guild. He was uncertain of why he did, be it a whim or a matter of chance or, maybe, a small part of the man tat was Jackson DuCarthy in him was getting lonely. Whatever the cause, he found himself amongst their number, and while it's hard to not eat them at times, he finds their antics entertaining and would be glad to live with them for as long as he's able.

Personality: On the outside, Nidhogg seems like a easy-going type of guy, not really caring about anything or anyone. He likes to be free and has a problem when people try to force him to do things, but baring that, their are few people he can't get along with. He also has a mischievous streak, playing around with people like toys under his control. This can go from innocent things like teasing his guild mates to much more questionable practices, such as putting a strange unknown chemical in a person's food so he can see what it does.

Go deeper into his psyche and mannerisms, however, the true Nidhogg is a being of true depravity, one that feeds of the wrong doings and suffering of others. He's a sadist of the highest caliber, loving to cut his victims into pieces until they finally achieve their escape through death. Not to mention that he's a major glutton, loving to feast on the remains of those he's tortured, sometimes in front of his newer victims, so that they know what awaits them in the future. That is the second game he loves to play, breaking the minds of those he captures. Sometimes, it's even more satisfying than physical torture, as mental pain causes so much more pain than physical, and it delights him to no end to see someone cry out in despair.

3. He possess a very high level of magical reserves

1. Dragonslayers are dangerous to him, as their magic can really hurt him if he isn't too careful, as the only defenses he has against them are his Yggdrasil tendrils.
2. He likes to play with his food, so he's likely to prolong a fight that he could win easily just so he can enjoy watching his prey struggle.
3. He's very over-confident in his abilities, likely to underestimate his opponents if he sees them as unworthy of his full effort

@ExpolarI like that idea a lot, and it frees up the Lust Slot, which I can put a form of illusion base magic into. As for the seal thing, it's more like Abel can't use his seals without a wielder, as he needs a source of energy to power them.

Also, a thought occurred to me while I was contemplating this character, but why is the demon thing a problem? Hatake's character is a full Oni, which is a type of demon, and one or two other characters can summon demons as well, so why is my guy a specific problem. Asmodeus is not an Etherious demon, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the continuity or plot, so please understand my confusion. Regardless if the answer, chances are O'll go with my new idea, but I felt a need for clarification.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@ExpolarSorry for nit getting back to you, school, trying to find a way to change my guy without changing his feel, and Fallout 4 have been taking up free time. Mostly school.

Anyway, do you have any ideas for ways I can keep my characters abilities without having to change anything but the demon stuff, cause I'm stuck.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@CaitsDemon status doesn't truly give then any glaring advantage over any of the other members, with Cain's powers being borderline unusable and not nearly as strong as they seem. He essentially has three strong attacks to use, than he passes out, as he's never going to learn how to fully use his abilities any time throughout this RP. The demon thing only really affects Cain, and even then not that much as I'd have to just think of another reason for him to have the move set he does, with something's shifted around here and there to make him fit. It'd be annoying, but if the demon stuff is bugging you that much, I'll change it.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@ZarkunCool, just give me a mention when you've fully accepted him. . . if you haven't already.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@ZarkunSorry to bother again, but have you given Cain and Abel a look over yet, as I don't want them to be too late for the whole council thing going on.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@ZarkunHey, have you taken a look at Cain and Abel yet?

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@AdamantiumWolfthat's the only reason I wanted it, and that why ao have a PS4( though Scalebound seems to be great, so a little bit of buyer's remorse. It's a game that seems made for me)

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

@YipeeXD Yeah, it's a pretty insane amount when you really start thinking about it. Part of the reason why I've given up trying to keep track of all the plot lines and conversations. Just too much tends to happen for me to keep up with it, not to mention the OOC at times.
