"Squirm, cry out in anguish, there's no one who will come for you!"Name: Vega Ashcroft
Nickname/Alias: "The Reaper", "The Mage Slayer"
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Rank (Prospective S)
Physique:
Drawin' that. Description for now though.
He stands at a height of around 5'11, lean muscle and weighing in at around 65-70kg. The crest of Dragon Heart is at the palm of his left hand, both of which are normally covered by gloves.
Personality: Vega is a scoundrel, one of the least pleasant people to be around, a bully, vulgar individual with little to no regard for those around him. It's quite a wonder that such a person would ever be a self-respecting mage let alone part of one with some renown, or an S rank for that matter. True, while he to many would seem no more different to a crazy outlaw who would beat a man who looks at him strange, he's also a no-nonsense type of individual, scarily skilled at anything that doesn't need him to persuade someone, as he's plenty good at "convincing" some people.
Though it's been a good few years since he's treated everyone this way, now he mainly treats outsiders in this fashion. Today though, he's far different, still very distant from everyone and keeping a wide berth. He dislikes acting pleasant, if he wants to treat someone pleasantly he will, otherwise he'll treat them how he thinks they should be treated. Despite his rough edges he's quite true to himself. At this point he treats those in the guild like family that he dislikes being around. As such he's rarely in the spotlight, at least until a crisis occurs, otherwise he's off taking missions or messing about in town someplace on his own.
Likes:
Money, music, rich people.
Dislikes:
Naggers, noisy people, weaklings, rich people.
Fears:
He doesn't appear to have one.
Brief Bio:
Vega was a simple street urchin, who turned to thievery like many have before. He was always alone, disagreeable and hard to work with, he took on solo thefts and so on, always in someone's shadow to take everything as soon as it was ripe. It was until he stole from a particular man, an old tome that seemed to be worth a lot, some powerful magic in it he thought, and he thought right, but attempts to sell and fence it went awry, and so he was forced to hold onto it for now. In curiosity he purused through the pages, only to find out he had some talent for magic.
For the first time in his life he ended up seriously studying something that wasn't the orphanage's school curriculum. It interested him, moreover the bloody history hinted at in these pages excited him... Mages right? He knew of them and has robbed some, but never did it cross his mind to become one. And it still hasn't, using this magic to steal from even more mages is what he ended up doing.
For awhile he ran rampant as the Reaper, small talk in some towns, until he was found by the Guild Master of Dragon's Heart, defeated, and offered a choice. He can be turned in as a Dark Mage, and likely be locked away to rot, or he joins his guild, and be absolved of his crimes, on the precedent that there were no kills and that he was more or less a new mage. He took the latter option.
While in the Dragon's Heart guild, he was... A troublemaker, a big one. It took him months until he was cooperative enough to take missions with other members but by then their mood soured when it came to him, but it didn't bother him at all. For a long time he was quickly promoted to an A rank, but compared to many of the Guild's S ranks by then, always honing his strength and magic... Though to this day he qualifies for S, but is prevented for... Other reasons.
: "Magic Eater"
Description: A form of magic that is as much a piece of history as the tome it was learned from. Originating from an era of civil war between mages, it was a twisted magic created to eat raw forms of magic. It was following and during this age that magic that did not expel raw energy such as ex-equip, the various beast soul magic, and the make series of magic such as iron-make and ice-make. Magic Eater was made based off of the Slayer magic that were more common back then, with the intention to be a "mage slayer", allowing the user to erase or drain magical energy from their opponents by slinging around their own massive energies. Because it is simply based on slayer magic, the user can't eat elements like a Slayer can. It still was created with a wide range of uses to make up for it's janky properties. This is classed as an Ancient magic.
Spells:
- "
Mage Slayer": He can throw around his magic similarly to how other Slayers do. The properties of his magic is a combination of kinetic force with some burning sensations when it strikes opponents. It will completely eat up energy based magic, and will remove any magic's sway over physical objects. It has limits, such as having little to no effect on powerful seals, but in a regular combat setting it functions well enough to be absolute.
-- Vengeant Wraith: He rushes forward quickly in a blast of his black magic, allowing him to plough through most opponents and/or their defenses in a quick and decisive rush.
-- Spear of the Undead Serpent: A powerful thrusting side kick that is followed by his magic, with high damage and force.
-- Spectral Lance: He does a hand motion towards something and it creates a longer range precision strike with his magic, he can do this multiple times in quick succession as a kind of mid-range attack. It's small surface area of his magic so it's penetration of defenses are low.
-- Ghost's Reprimand: He simply does a headbutt with a blast of magic backing it. As a result, it has a strong chance of stunning someone, but he rarely uses this due to it's specific usage.
-- Chains of Purgatory: He can create chains made from his magic to subdue enemies. Though his range with them is short, it's been quite useful when he wasn't allowed to be rough with his targets, which is more often than not.
-- Claws of the Hungry: A very fast strike that takes the form of claw strikes in front of him. It has a slash capability and while it has essentially zero drain power, it's very fast, making it a reliable way to fight some opponents.
-- Dead Duster: He can do a dirtkick to cause a blast of his magic to blast up with force, or do an upswing motion to do it. Also another fast option, but it's lower range and has more force, so is a better way to destroy defenses.
-
Death Scythe, Reaper's Armaments: He can form a scythe with his magic to strike his opponents. This extends to being able to form other weapons. Their form is still mostly corporeal so they won't have the integrity of a proper weapon, but they do hold his magic's properties.
-- Soul Harvest: A wide swing with his scythe after a brief charge. This move cannot be blocked, but it will halt all magic being cast currently given the scythe passes through related channels, while also giving him a bit of magical energy.
-- Head Hunter: A wide swing with his scythe, he can do this in any trajectory he pleases, it's range is quite extensive. His best crowd-control skill.
-- Demon Fang: He twirls his scythe, slashing the ground and creating a wave of his energy to travel along in a straight line, nice and fast.
-- Warden's Sickle: His longest range option. He can summon a pair of chain sickles that he can throw out or use as a normal weapon to strike or even pull in opponents from afar, or even use it to swing around.
Mastery Arts: These are a set of skills that he learns to represent his mastery of this magic. Were there more users of this magic, their Mastery Arts would all be quite different. He has three branches, the basic advancement, starting from Reaper's Garb [GARB], an expansion on the Reaper's Armaments [ARM], and the Mage Slayer advancements [SLAYER]. These are higher level techniques, and he can employ them based on his opponent. Level 2s and higher will see less usage the higher level it is due to either drawbacks and being situational, or due to magical consumption.
[LVL1] The Reaper's Garb: When battle starts he creates a hooded coat with his own magic. The hood itself will block some medium to low level energy-based magical attacks with ease, but it's still too thin to block some more potent attacks.
[LVL2] The Head of Dullahan: He forms a thicker armor with a helmet. His magic is now limited to his Reaper's Armaments skills, but he can block higher level magic with this form.
[ARM] Undead Armory: He strikes the ground, causing weapons made by his magic to rise up from the ground in the area around them. This simply creates a field where he has a much higher advantage. As contact with his magic can have their magic be drained, it's even dangerous for his opponents to make contact with them without protection. However because of the wealth of weapons around, he also has a bountiful field of armaments to pick from even in the heat of battle, allowing him to freely mix his approach up.
[SLAYER] Shadow of the Ghost: He coats his movements with his magic for a short period of time, allowing him to bypass some magical attacks whilst moving, but also hiding his movements, making it much harder to read his next strike.
Items:
- Twin Knives Nyx and Erebus: The two knives were something he made himself. Nyx is a curved butterfly knife, while Erebus is a karambit. He has the deft hands of a thief, so in a situation where he can't use magic he can still use these quite effectively.
Miscellaneous:
- Magic users such as Ex-Quips are his worst enemy, as his magic isn't very effective against them at all.
- Despite throwing around his magic like crazy he exhibits insane ability to use his body as a weapon.
- His time as a thief means he is privvy to skills such as lockpicking, pickpocketing, sleight of hand, and other ways to swindle money from someone... That doesn't require direct interaction.
- From time to time he's seen wearing clothes that seem fancier than a person like him should be wearing, or handling some rather expensive looking things. He likely stole or obtained them with dirty money.
- He has great acrobatic skills and while his ability to exert force is not as great as he would like, he is quite nimble and quick on his feet.
- He is rarely seen using his hands to directly strike or touch anyone besides using it to pickpocket when he has a chance.
