FetzenThis doesn't explain why he would become a master. Strength doesn't necessarily have anything to do with fighting skills. Demons generally don't respect human skills.
Demons don't generally have respect for humans in general, nor angels for that matter. They're weakling to them, not worth associating with, only useful for torturing for their amusement or as lamb to the slaughter.
Azeal is different from the other Demons in that particular respect, mostly due to his father being a moral role model, as I have mentioned in the CS itself. He has respect for the qualities these "weaklings" DO have, as oppose to disinterest in what they don't.
Again, If you wish, I'll have it be Expert instead, if that is more reasonable.
I get that this isn't a separate skill. But it sounds like this might be different from the white flames so I need to know if it is.
It is different only in that it's an upgrade of his white flames, nothing more.
I don't expect him to be confident in everything. I do need an idea of where his confidence is. His laziness could be a problem.
I see... His confidence is likely in his strength and fighting prowess. I know how that sounds like it goes against his morals, and it is, but Pride is something hardwired into Demons, it's an inherent instinct for all demons, and a treasured one at that. It's something he can't really help in that regard.
As for the Laziness, however bad you think it is, I guarantee you he's not THAT far gone. Due to his inherent power of Wrath, he has to keep himself tranquil and relaxed outside of battle so that he doesn't start a fire due to getting angry over something minor. He NEEDS to keep himself calm and relaxed, even if that sometimes means exhaustion so that said inherent power doesn't cause anyone problems. This of course means, he's laid-back and lazy. Of course when the time comes that he's actually needed, he's not gonna just ignore it.
If anything, think of this as a potential for comedy.
You can't invent a weapon like this without a reason.
A Fair point. I want to say I can come up with a reason before this RP begins, but realistically, that probably will not happen. I've stalled this enough as it is with these CSes, I'd rather not stall it even more for something like this.
So I'll instead split it up, giving him a Scythe (Cause he's a Reaper, It's as standard for him as the side arm is for a normal BoSA agent.) and if possible a Magnum revolver. If that's not possible, then the standard-issue Side-arm will do.
"The Reaper's Touch"- if you cant tell me what it does then you can't use it.
I apologize but...I thought I was pretty clear about this ability.
Concealed inside his black gloves are hands entirely of bones and irradiating a dark and cold aura of magic around them. Aside from hunting the lost souls and undead, a reaper's task is to reap the souls of the recently departed from their soon-to-be corpses, ending what little life they have left to free them from their coil. The Reaper's touch is the key to this; a reaper's real hands are irradiated with the magic of Death. On its own, a touch from a Reaper's true hand can cause decay upon the surface, and can cause death to the near-dying. In addition, it is by these hands that death spells can be used.
It is however, inferior to the genuine article, the Touch of Death. The rate of decay much slower, life energy is drained at a slow rate as oppose to being instantaneous, and to top it off, the reapers are heavily restricted and rule-bound by their god's opposite, the God of Life. They, Sora included, must abide by these rules and avoid draining life from anyone who isn't ready or necessary for it to be used on, or face obliteration and their rule-breaking reversed.
(In other words, unless it's specifically required for the job, if Sora attempts to use this to kill someone who isn't already about to die, then he himself will die and the attempt will be reversed. My own personal consequence for the potential god-modding that this kind of power may imply.)
If you need me to be more detailed, than very well...I'm sure you've at least heard of the idea that a Touch from Death kills a man. You can think of the Reaper's Touch as an inferior version of that. The Reaper's touch drains and decays a life until it dies. It's like literal life-sucking parasite eating at the life force of a person. Which is why he's required to keep those gloves on at all times unless needed. Using these hands is how the Reapers extract souls from people who are just about to die, as per their job.
Let's say, for example, that Sora had no gloves, and walked into a flower field with those bony hands exposed. Any flower he touched, any flower that is within about a 6 inch diameter range from his hands, would start to decay and age slowly until they eventually wilt and die.
Believe me when I say I KNOW how bad that sounds. Which is why I added that second Last paragraph. The decay is very slow, and beyond that, he is required to kill a person with this ONLY when their time is almost up and they're about to die. Any earlier, and he himself will die. Again, my own countermeasure for the potential problems this power can cause.
the only weakness I see for this character is someone being stronger than him. That isn't enough.
I...Beg your pardon? O_o
Weakness/Limits: There's always someone stronger- The law of progressive strength applies even to the supernatural world. No matter how strong someone is, there can always be someone who is stronger. There can be multiple creatures and beings that are physically better than Sora.
The Downsides of being a Spirit Medium- Not all spirits are friendly or cooperative. His natural connection with the spirit world makes him able to sense and be spiritually attacked by hostile/vengeful spirits, phantoms, specters or wraiths. Prolonged exposure to the spirit world can be dangerous even for him due to these potential attacks on the mind and soul.
Light/Life Magic- Reapers are not like demons; while they are cruel and monstrous in their job to do what must be done, they are not necessarily malevolent in nature. However, they are still creatures of darkness and Death, physical manifestations of that inevitable truth. Ergo, the magic of light can weaken their dark powers, while the magic of life, such as the magic of blood, water, and plants, is negating factor of their existence and as such, is essentially kyptonite for them. The laws of recovery is reversed for these entities as a result.
(To be clear, this does not mean they can't be anywhere near these things, it'd make their work excruciatingly difficult if that was the case. It simply means magic involving these things is damaging for them.)
I gave THREE of them, and I was careful to organize them to make them clear and concise.
If you mean that the first one is the only one you find that's viable? Well, I can understand why the second may not be seen as a Weakness, but I fail to see why you don't see Light/Life energy...Ok, maybe the Life energy, but I fail to see why you don't see Light as a reasonable weakness for someone like him.
Weapon:- Pick a weapon. You can't be vague. There is a reason for everything.while killers might not 'need' a certain type of weapon they usually have a reason for the weapon they use.
Yet I am allowed to make Baal's weakness unknown.
It's ok if you say I can't be vague for you, the GM. I understand that you HAVE to know this stuff, and perhaps I should have PMed all of these in specific light to you like I did with Baal. I sincerely apologize for not having the Foresight to do so. That is entirely my fault, and I will take responsibility for that.
But please don't sound hypocritical as to tell me I can't be vague in general when you yourself allowed me to be with Baal's weakness.
I can't "Pick" a specific weapon in this case. I would prefer to keep this a secret, but if you insist: The weapons they have is a part of their power. Their cellular manipulation allows them to shape and crystalize their blood into whatever shape they desire it to be. Like the T-1000, it can't be TOO complex, like guns. It usually has to be melee weapons like swords, knives, scythes, spears, etc.
Chainsaws can be formed too, and I know what you're going to say next: "But you just said they can't make complex weapons." Note the "TOO" complex. Guns and other weapons like it requires a lot more than just a shape in order to function properly which is why T-1000 and the Vampire both can't make them. Chainsaws on the other hand, when you get down to the basic structure of one, can be done with their power. it would require a lot of focus-diversity to make the mini-blades move like a chainsaw, and so would need their up most focus to make it work, but it can be done.
As for the reason why a chainsaw? Sometimes they get in a real bad or sadistic mood and decide to be a little extra intense in their murders.
Not good enough? Psychopathic killers may have a "reason" for what they do, but I don't believe it has to be a "good" one. That's what makes them so terrifying, the idea that someone would do something as horrifying as killing people, and not being able to comprehend their reasoning why due to their own madness.
As a certain character from Danganrompa once said: "To judge others by your own standards is the height of folly. Even if you can't comprehend it, they obviously can. That's all there is to it."
Weakness/limits: The downsides of Cellular Manipulation- I don't understand this doesn't seem like a weakness.
That's probably because of the wording of it, as again, I tried to make it seem as if it was being written down by someone who doesn't exactly know what it's like...which is harder than it sounds. It's difficult to play dumb and try to play it out like you're trying to figure it out yourself when you already know everything about the power. ...Or maybe that's just me.
Again, I would show you the actual weakness via PM. But like I said before, You've told me before you were aware of Cellular Manipulation powers and their respective weakness. So I imagined you could connect the dots regarding its weakness. Assuming you were telling me the truth when you told me that, I don't believe it's any different from what you've come to see in the past.
But Very well... Here's a more definitive version of its weakness. ...It's what you've seen before from, but slightly modified to fit this particular character and RP. Nothing too noticeable, just omitted unnecessary species details and changed their gender third-person to an androgynous style.
For starters, the usage of their cells requires energy from their body, and unfortunately for them, energy and the mitochondria of the cells is the one thing they can't manipulate inside their own body, and even if they could, there's only so much the Mitochondria if the energy they store is used up.
The Crystallization of blood is also dependent on that energy and mental concentration. The weaker their concentration and focus, the weaker and more liquefied the crystal blood becomes, until it reverts back into regular blood and loses solidity, and its threat level by extension, as a result. (Which, again, is why the Chainsaw-making requires the up most focus above any other.)
Not to mention the fact that when their attacks are using blood, more often than not, it's their own. Unfortunately, they're not immune to the effects of blood loss. Using too much blood will lead to them becoming disoriented, light-headed, losing consciousness, and possibly even death if they're not careful.
Appearance: You need an appearance. They would have a description of him. You can't look for a person if you don't know what they look like.
Hmm...Putting it that way, you have a point. If they've been searching for this killer for a while now, they should have had at least have a vague outline of what they would look like by what little information would be given by the neighbors of the victims. Maybe even a list of potential suspects as well. At the very least, it IS hard to believe the BoSA would work with the police and FBI for months on end and have nothing to look for.
Truth be told, I wanted to keep the Appearance a secret, as I believed it would be entertaining to have a mystery element to the finding and capturing of them. Look at any Mystery novel enthusiast, and I'm sure they'll tell you that they wouldn't like it if the reveal of the killer is spoiled for them. I'd like to think that if anyone here was interested in catching a Serial Killer, they'd be the same way in that respect.
Still, you do have a point as mentioned before. So I'll edit that to make some kind of description.
Age: Because it's a requirement. It's part of the characters history.
And if a character does not know how old he is? You suggest they get slaps or electro-therapy until they go "Oh hey, I remember!"? Also, nothing really wrong with this, but I simply find it humorous how making my character's Age unknown is perfectly fine with you, but it's keeping it vague and in a range that you find troubling.
But very well, any specific age you'd prefer, or can I go with the highest Age in the spectrum I provided, which is an actual age of 10,000, and physically 40?
Last time he turned himself in. Next time he might not.
...Point taken.
There is no such thing as an airtight container.
Just because they can open, does not null the fact that they're airtight when closed.
Now I can understand that these things probably aren't technically designed for a formless mass that would possibly try to break out.
But you cannot tell me that the BoSA, A division of MIB designed SPECIFICALLY to take down demons, Vampires and possibly even Gods, Can't upgrade an Air-tight room or container to contain malevolent blob monster or gaseous demon that may or may not show up.
In Blackade's case, all you'd need is an Air-tight room, with intense light perpetually on 24/7, and you're good.
But very well, I'll humor you and assume that Air-tight is "not existent". Blackade has Mass like I said before so he's not technically a gaseous entity. He's more of a blob monster in his formless state, so really, a Water-tight container or room would be just as effective.
