Devils For Hire: Broken Nation (Light Sci-Fi, Modern Mercenaries RP.)

Name: Anthony Bellomi

Age: 26

Appearance: Anthony is handsome Italian man, not falling short of the promise of his surname. He stands tall at 6'2, but not towering as some other titans in his profession. His bone structure is strong, with prominent cheekbones and concave cheeks leading to a pointed jaw. His hair is a light brown that grows blond after overexposure to sunlight. Usually, his facial hair is kept to an even stubble. His eyes hold that twinkle that make him look younger than his actual age.

Nation of Birth: U.S.A.

Codename: Specter

Personality Traits: A loudmouth and braggart, Anthony is a hopeless flirt and womanizer. He often makes fun of his fellow Devils, pushing as many buttons as possible. While his personality leaves much to be desired, he's entirely professional when on assignment, only allowing the occasional quip or two to slip if he finds a one liner that can't be passed up.

Short Backstory: Anthony lived in the Bronx when the fighting reached its apex and entered his hallowed Big Apple. He lived with nonno and nanna, only 18 and without parents. Fresh out of high school, Anthony was courting the idea of joining the USA's military forces as well as his high school sweetheart, Angela. She'd been on a vacation with her family in Florida when the LSRA's rioting had reached her. She'd been killed by an IED, the result of a clash between PMCs and the LSRA. She was one victim in a large number of peoplekilled that day. This clinched it for Anthony and he signed up the next day. He had an illustrious career and was eventually a ghost in the military, making to the top of the top; the Combined Application Group. However, the lack of oversight was now obvious within the chain of command and he noticed the growing corruption.

With the last foundation of his life proven false, Anthony turned to making his own fortune with the skills he'd gained from his service. Once his deployment was up, he opted out of another tour and joined the wave of mercenaries now flooding the underground. Anthony noticed his competition was steep, as many had black market upgrades that his talent just couldn't keep up with. After a few risky assignments with rather risky employers, he had the small fortune needed to stay in the game.

CqC training - 2
Explosives training- 1
Recon training- 1
Crackshot- 2
Cybernetic Eyes- 2
Allows Anthony to tag and track enemies and their distance, thermal imaging to provide an inside look into hot zones, and limited telescopic functionality

Known as the ABC, this augmentation highlights the intended target and allows the computer to do the legwork on the calculations, allowing Anthony to assess the situation while the computer lines the best shot. This enhancement works in tandem with his eye augmentations, showing the readouts in real time on the edge of his vision.

Loadout:
Colt 1911: Extended mags, suppressor - 2 points
"Tracker" Tactical Bowie- 1 point
Remington MSR .338: AP rounds, elongated barrel- 3 points
Semtex (timer or dead-man switch)- 2 points
Tear gas- 1 point

Mana-Script Academy For The 'Gifted'

Azrael felt a tad rebuked when Aleksandra suddenly shifted her attention, but he hadn't interacted with anyone for some time. Maybe many people were cold. Either way, his hand strayed to the hilt of his blade, a nervous habit. His fingers roamed across the almost scaled texture of the handle. "Good, I have questions that maybe only another Elementalist could answer. Find me when you have some free time," the boy requested with a friendly smile and a small nod of respect. Azrael wondered at the other students, so different in their behaviors and powers. He wondered how Aleksandra channeled her powers to make the elements, when he had to use their source to conjure them. Perhaps learning other arcane arts would help him in this pursuit.

It was no wonder this was the place the Spirits recommended. Silently, he interwove his fingers together, closed his eyes, and sent a prayer for good fortune to his Masters. He could feel their energy flow into him, a warm feeling of connection that said that he would never be alone, even if he made no connections in this place. He knew his powers were just starting to grow as he aged. He hoped this school would unlock his potential, and his weapon's. While the assembly was underway, he listened to the introductions of other students as he slipped into a half trance, a practice that helped him absorb more magicka. The room was awash with different energies and it was almost overwhelming! Yet, Azrael's strength may have been less than others, his talent was refined and very controlled, allowing him to separate his own mana pool from the others.

Azrael noted the second to last of new students, although the boy with the drawing pad was certainly an attention grabber. It didn't seem like the guy was shy, so why didn't he just introduce himself? But the girl Aleksandra was infinitely more interesting to Az, as she had briefly emanated elemental magic after silencing the snickering idiots further back. When she sat in his row, Azrael took the initiative and moved covertly, sliding down until he was hidden behind the row of seats in front. He walked over, looking like a gorilla bent at the waist, nearly dragging his knuckles. He sat next to the girl who looked ever ready for a fight. In a hushed tone, he tried to introduce himself for the second time, although to an audience of one this time.

"Hi, my name is Azrael Arcana if you didn't catch it before. You're Aleksandra, right?" He tried a small smile, but it had been a long time since he had actually talked to another human. The Elemental Spirits weren't the best at dialogue. "I couldn't help noticing, but are you an Elementalist? I am too and I'd really appreciate if we could be on friendly terms, maybe help each other out this school year?" Azrael offered his hand for a shake, hoping to bridge the gap from strangers to at least acquaintances.

@The ghost in black do you mind if Azrael tries to strike up conversation while we're in the assembly hall? They both focus on elemental magic and he would be interested after sensing her particular energy. =)

Azrael took a few steadying breaths, trying to calm his racing heart beat. He'd never spoken in front of a group like this before, it was nerve-wracking! Before he started overheating and sweating, Azrael started the long journey to the podium. Standing behind it, he squinted slightly for a breath, wondering why the school needed such bright lights.

"Hello Mana-Script Academy, my name is Azrael Arcana and I am a first-year student here at this Academy. While I have had great mentors in the past, I know that the instructors in this school are the best and brightest known on this vast world. I hope that we all succeed, but I aim to prove to myself and everyone that I will be a positive contribution to this school. Please, treat me kindly and I will do so in return. If you wish to know me personally, I am always open to making new friends! I hope the Academy treats you- and myself- well, have a magical day." Az bowed his head slightly, and proceeded back to his seat.

This place was wondrous and the students just as impressive. Yet a small part of him missed the forests, mountains, and sea where he had first begun his magical training. He felt as if he could get lost in the sea of faces that he saw before him. His sword embarrassingly clinked against the metal of his chair, reverberating slightly in the silence following his introductory speech.

Mana-Script Academy For The 'Gifted'

Name*: Azrael Arcana - "AA"
Photo:
Age*: 16
Gender*: Male
Abilities*: Elemental Mastery- AA's mastery of the elements is limited by his own training, of which has been personal. As of now, he can only control the basic five elements to varying degrees- (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Lightning) His signature is making avatars that embody the essence of each element, but he can utilize other aspects of the elements, such as minor flame conjuring and manipulation of small boulders. Azrael can only summon one avatar at a time, about the size of a large horse if he still wishes to use his element manipulation. However, when he uses his Lightning Element, he can only do battle with its gifts and his blade.
Earth- A golem, size varying with the magic power expended
Wind- An eagle, ""
Fire- A dragon, ""
Water- A kraken, ""
Lightning- the only one without a separate avatar, the lightning becomes one with Azrael for a time. After utilizing his limited teleport, Azrael can no longer use his lightning strikes and all that remains are his heightened speed and awareness.
Blade of Metal Spirit- The blade will glow when in the presence of the Metal Spirit and is indestructible.
Glove of the Dragon Spirit- Made from the scales of a lesser dragon that Azrael slew, it helps prevent major injury and also allows for limited offensive support, as the spikes on his right arm are from the spine of the late creature.

How you could work in a team: Support, Front-line, or guerrilla tactics

Personality*: Azrael has a thirst to learn and to prove himself to any he gives respect. He rarely dismisses an idea from another, unless he knows for a certainty that they are in the wrong. Because of his powerful innate abilities, he always keeps a positive and calm demeanor. However, he does enjoy a good joke and banter with friends and acquaintances.

History: Azrael had no magical abilities when he was born, but after a near fatal accident, which killed his parents, he found his gifts. On his deathbed, the spirits of the basic elements visited him and offered a contract in exchange for his service after death. The trust and blessings of these powerful creatures has humbled Azrael since his near-death at the age of ten. Afterwards, he lived in the respective lands where each of his masters dwell, learning their arts until they deemed him worthy to learn with his own power. Now, he searches for the Masters of the lost elements, the personal quest his Spirit Masters bequeathed unto him.

Along with the mastery of the elements, Azrael was given his blade. Its origins date back to when the Element Spirits roamed the world in full power, until the threat of human magic drove them back to their respective realms. The sword was reputedly made by the Master of the Metal element and allows the wielder to cut through most offensive and defensive magics, but Azrael has never seen any of these attributes reflected in his training with the blade.

Other: Not known to Azrael, he has a younger sister, who disappeared in the crash.

Classes: Rituals, Arcane Arts, Physical Education, Elements Class, Combat Training, Artifacts, General Education, Magic Theory, Summoning, Enchanting, Sealing, Practical Application

@JELDare Is it alright for me to post Azrael in the character section?

@WittyWolf

Or @TheHangedMan?

Demi-Gods Save the world

It might be better if you have one group of Demigods against another with a differemt agenda for the end. Such as one wants the demigods to have supremacy and the other just wishes for a full restoration of the world before the event. As for this idea, whose character would win? I'm sure posters would be pissed if they spend a lot of time and effort into this only to find that you're steering the contest into your favor. So ultimately even if your character legitamately won, it might still irk someone.

As for how they'll end up at the same location, maybe it could be almost like a shared dream? Each of the characters who are affected by the event would enter a sort of shared conscioussness where they are being told the rules of the battles to come by the current God, explaining that whoever won would be the successor to the Power. The actual ruins could an arena and the event lays a kind of compulsion over those involved to go.

Harry Potter rp with different schools from all over the world

... Oh hell yes. I'm more than interested and would definitely like to help with brainstorming for the plot. I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter series *o*

Demi-Gods Save the world

I think it depends on how fleshed out the roleplay is before people start looking, but that may only be in the Advanced section. But I'm a little worried with how they're to run into each other if a character can change in any location on the planet.
