Yoshua's Character Storage Mark VII

Saella Lasari – The Shining


Theme I\|/Theme II

Basic Info

Name: Saella Lasari.
Alias: The Shining; The Unbroken; Lasarian.
Nicknames: Sae or Aria.
Age: 20.
Type and Wing Colour: Pure Tamer Seraph.
Relations: Her 'mother' and mentor Lasarian The Brilliant; her 'elder brother' Kaeden The Destroyer; and acquaintance Caeldrin The Aurist.

Personality: While before she was naïve, she has become realistic, at least for the most part. Her innocence, for the most part, has been dispelled and she now bears the demeanor of a toughened sort. She's beheld many things, some good and some bad. Her conclusion is that knowledge is necessary, caution is key, and loyalty is to be divvied only when necessary. She understands, now, that some sacrifices can, and must, be made for the greater good. Yet she retains some of her idealistic views, wishing for a peaceful world, a harmonious coexistence between the three races...and the three realms.

Through her regressions she has learned a lot and her intelligence and mental fortitude has risen greatly. Despite this she can be shy at times, but this only emerges when in the company of those whom she cares for, or when taken off guard by particularly...indecent, actions. She still believes in the equality between the races, believing that the current state of the world is naught, but everything becoming worse before it gets better. While she wishes for coexistence, she has no illusions as to the immensity and difficulty of such a thing, knowing that it is nothing if not implausible. Yet, like anyone with a copious sense of justice and even a smidgen of idealism, she strives for such a result despite herself, wishing to bring everyone into a place that all can enjoy, rather than just a select few, even if it is flawed.

Her fear and reservations regarding murder have been vanquished, but that does not mean she enjoys it. In fact, she has tailored her combat style to incapacitate rather than kill, so as to preserve as much life as she can, unless absolutely necessary. Still, despite the many months that have past and the changes that they have wrought on her personality, she has retained her dislike for the spotlight.

Despite the cruelness of the world, Saella's temperance allows her to restrain herself even when dealing with particularly difficult individuals. However, what has changed is that she will no longer put up with those who are truly devout in their wish to stand in her way. For while she will strive to peacefully create solutions and pass through obstacles with diplomacy and tact, she has little patience for those who would get in her way despite her kind and empathic treatment –not to mention her consideration of their circumstances, should she know them. Beyond this there is only her intense dislike, and sometimes hatred, for those who have no appreciation for life, this includes those who make it their mandate to disservice others –this of course includes those who would meaninglessly slaughter others, either for their own amusement, or some other insufficient purpose. Aside from the aforementioned circumstances her temper is seldom riled, though once it is it can be frightening.

Beyond these things, her emotions tend to stay in a more positive spectrum, though her heart has hardened considerably in the last year, giving her a bit more of a confident and tough outer shell.

She is very kind and very brave; able to walk into the fray of a harsh and brutal battle even when afraid for her life or the lives of others. She is a defender of the weak and unable as well as a positive example to humans of what they once thought angels were: Powerful and divine guardians of the heavens and the human race. In this way, she is exceptional, but like all people she still has her flaws.

Biography: Coming into existence was a frightening thing for Saella, but soon after she came to know the woman who would be her mother, but not her mentor. Lasarian, having been a powerful battle angel in her day was the one chosen to raise the young angel who would become the girl that is known today. So as Saella grew and learned from the beautiful, though aged, Lasarian, the girl eventually came to know something about herself...the gods had chosen wrong. The older and more conscious of herself she became, the more she learned, the more she came to understand that the world she lived in was not the world in which she wanted to be.

She didn't belong. At least, not among her kin. They were all so...hateful, so arrogant...so cold towards the other races. She understood why they acted that way towards demons, but to the humans? It just didn't make sense to her.

When it came time for her to learn her specialty as an angel, Saella resisted, and resisted strongly. She was to become a tamer, but that violated her own beliefs. She didn't want to subjugate demons and then force them to kill their own kind, and she really didn't want to twist their minds to her will. When her mother found that she had been refusing to practice her inborn skills, she first questioned the girl as to why. However, when she found out, she almost froze as if trapped in obsidian.

Lasarian thought things over for a time, but soon recovered from the shock of her kind, if rather subservient and quiet, child's reasoning and unbending stubbornness. Lasarian found her daughter's response to be unsatisfactory and in response, Lasarian took Saella on a mission, a mission to show the damage a single surface demon could do to a community. Watching, tears came to the eyes of the younger angel, her white wings bristling with anger and so she abruptly stole her mother's weapon and charged down to protect the humans, despite her skills being far from those of a battle angel's.

Yet, when she got close enough that the demon turned to attack her, she faltered, thoughts flying through her head.

It's a living thing just like you; All it wants is essence, it is feeding...like any creature must; It feels pain just like me, I can't...I-....

Frozen in mid-flight, Saella was saved only by her mother who promptly tore the demon in two and tossed its wrangled corpse aside only to turn and cradle Saella in her arms. Rather than berate her, Lasarian surmised only that the girl had been afraid of the demon, not that she had literally been unable to kill it.

Saella never told her mother the truth, she couldn't...it would hurt the beautiful angel too much. So, instead, she opted to learn the subtle nuances of demon taming, despite her former resistance, thinking that at least this way she wouldn't have to kill anything herself. It was at this time that she met the angel who she'd eventually come to call 'brother'.

On only her second mission into the field, Saella was to capture her second demon, taming it and bringing it under her control. However, when she arrived she found herself promptly overpowered by the beast. Luckily, there was a clear sky that night and so Saella was saved by the grace of Kaeden the battle angel, an angel who had earned the title 'Destroyer' for the wrath and damage that his blades and body wrought on his enemies. He also rather enjoys watching over the city from the clouds in case someone might need his help. After all he always rather enjoyed the expressions of those who saw his magnificence hurtling down from the heavens.

So, upon finding the startled Saella, Kaeden found himself endeared to her by her silly rambling and nonsensical nature. So, rather quickly, the two became friends and so Kaeden came to cause less of his storms (of wrath, blade, and body) just a bit less.

Saella took to watching the city from the clouds as well and so the two became quite close and are still as such to this day. In fact, Kaeden is the reason that Saella was finally able to gain control of her favorite demon, a creature known as 'Kenen'. As without his battle prowess, Saella would have never been able to conquer the creature. So she does feel rather indebted to Kaeden, though he hasn't decided to make her pay this debt...or the one for saving her life.

Since then. Saella has managed to increase her skill in taming, finally proving herself on the field by being skilled enough to both avoid the attacks of demons at close range and subjugate them to her will at the same time. She has been acclaimed for being some kind of genius in the field of taming, but she will adamantly deny such, not to mention blush rather brightly. Beyond this, she has earned a single title, mostly due to her complete refusal to kill anything, be it to save herself, or another no matter the race.

The angel community is rather confused as to how to handle her....

--During Season 1 Saella was mostly on patrol and interacting with Kenen Vax. However, there was an interaction with the Lordess of the Southern Realm in which Kenen vax lost his warden status and subsequently went berserk. Saella was forced to protect his unconscious body from the destruction that ran rampant in Loom during the events only a few months prior to the fall of Hell's gate. Since then she has begun the process of bettering herself, starting by bringing Kenen back to the peak of health.

Not entirely forgiving her, Saella took to blaming herself for his situation and has felt somewhat guilty ever since. Regardless, Kenen has gradually forgiven her and assisted in her newest venture: Recovering her past lives. After he, and several of her other captured demons who she managed to forcibly tame and reprogram mentally, assisted in keeping her mind stable while she rapidly went through a tremendous amount of her past lives.

However, while she has managed, by the end of the year, to get 3/4ths through her regression, she has had to take multiple breaks to reground herself in reality and not lose a hold of her individuality –not to mention stability. Partly due to her regressions and partly due to her having become fed up with feeling helpless in combat, Saella has taken up the art of the sword and since the destruction of Loom has been training her little heart out.

She, at one point, was drawn to the destroyed council building in the center of Loom, and while it was difficult to get to, she managed to enter its sub-floors by moving some of the rubble. Once in she was drawn towards a particular blade, which she now wields. She is unsure why she feels a connection to the blade, but none of her past lives so far reveal the information, so she just keeps delving when possible to find out.

Due to the amount of regressions she has gone through, Saella has developed two pairs of additional wings and several traits not typical of tamer angels. She is somewhat confused by this, but accepts them nonetheless. Mostly caused by the hardship of survival and living during these hard times, Saella's outlook on life has gone from naive to a strange mixture of idealism and realism. She is very aware of the cruelness of the world now and has lost many of her reservations, replacing them instead with a more realistic, but nonetheless hopeful, worldview.

While she has tried several times in the last few months, Saella has been unable, thus far, to regress any further as she seems to have met some kind of artificial, but alive, mental block in her psyche. In addition to this, she will sometimes pass out as her psyche destabilizes too far for her demonic stabilizers are able to handle. Sometimes she blacks out or suffers extreme mental episodes where she has memory lapses or collapses into a heap of sobs and moans. Similarly she can suddenly feel unexplained exultation and happiness. These, she figures, are symptoms of rapid regression, but they seem perfectly natural and are in fact fading rapidly.

Since the completion of her regressions, so far, she has found a new goal in life: Coexistence and leadership. First, however, she must unite with the remainders of her past psyche, after which she can more actively pursue her goal to reunite and change angelic society as a whole. This time, she intends to make an impact...and a damned big one too.--

Note: Saella has taken on part of Lasarian's name to show the bond held between the two.

Abilities and Gear

Equipment:

Collapsible Shield: Saella carries this shield, which is typically collapsed into a rod formation. This shield was made for her by a human friend of her's and can extend out from its rod formation to the round buckler in order for her to utilize it for defense. She has become rather skilled with it since she began using it years prior. More recently she has begun to couple it, at times, with a sword.

Ancestral Blade: A blade she managed to retrieve from the smoldering remains of the Council building in Loom when things had died down somewhat, this Ancestral blade was stored in the vault of the building had, somehow, drew her to it as if it was hers to begin with. Unaware of its true nature, Saella has since toted it around, or had Kenen do so in her stead, and has, in the last year, trained extensively in order to begin utilizing it in combat. The blade's properties are mysterious, but it appears to amplify and channel angelic essence in order to burn and further damage demonic essence, any of its other capabilities are unknown at current time beyond its miraculous durability and lightness. The blade does appear to have some kind of enchantment, though Kenen has stated that the blade is much more difficult for him to carry, while it is almost as light as a feather in Saella's hands. The blade's scabbard contains its essence and partially contains its abilities however, even when the blade is sheathed it will glow and hum when it senses harmful, or killing, intent.

The Crystal Prison: Additionally, there is the crystal necklace given to her by her 'mother' and tutor, Lasarian. This necklace is capable of sealing demons within it once they have been subjugated. This necklace is known as 'The Crystal Prison' and can be viewed in the 'appearance hider'. This necklace is thought to have been created by a joint effort of the three races in order to seal a demon that was a threat to all three. The seals on its surface do not indicate exactly where the things sealed within are sealed, but it can be seen that they are ancient and were crafted by human hands. Hands that were likely guided by an angel clairvoyant, who gave some of her tears to fuel its power. A demon of unknown name at the time, likely one from the Western kingdom (oddly) sacrificed itself with the crystal over the ritual altar, allowing the entirety of its being to be used to eternally power the crystal prison, why a demon would do something so selfless has been lost to time. The necklace has been passed down between Saella's soul 'lineage' since her creation. It is likely that only the archangels and the most ancient of demons know exactly what it is...or what the unnamed beast referred to only as Unlight was. It is presumed that the Crystal Prison seals its inhabitants in an elaborate location that has since been hidden and erased from the minds of all, but one archangel and one ancient greater Hellion. Additionally, if Saella were to delve deep into the memories of her past lives, she would eventually (after a very long time) be capable of accessing the knowledge regarding the necklace, but for now she knows very little and maybe that is for the best.

Armor: Depicted in her appearance picture, Saella has managed to ger her armor enchanted so it does not inhibit her movement, makes less sounds than it normally would, and is less heavy than it should be. Beyond this the armor is normal in all respects.

Personal Capabilities:

Taming Power: Where her abilities were considerable before, now they are downright impressive even with her mental instability at times. Saella, at this point, is capable of open empathic and telepathic communication with nigh anyone whose mind she can contact, and whose mental defenses she can circumvent. She is capable of incapacitating the average surface demon, and mentally crippling the average hellion with her mental influence. Warden class demons no longer overwhelm her and demonic lords, while not manageable, can be dealt with on low levels.

At this point she has reached a level that she can access people's subconscious mind, allowing her to predict their actions before they are entirely aware of them. This ability is not perfect and increases in difficulty with the power of the individual, not to mention how guarded they are mentally. At this point Saella can also create psychic fields, which are detailed below. As with before she can accurately gauge the power, and even skill level, of most individuals regardless of race...unless their essence is mixed which can briefly, or permanently, confuse her. Additionally, chimeras and beings of mixed racial essence are much more difficult for her to read, predict, or deal with in general.

Physical Ability: While originally Saella was like all other tamers, aka not physically powerful, she has since developed a decent amount of strength and durability, allowing her to take more damage and dish more out. However, in particular her flight skills have increased significantly, as well as her ability to maneuver while still on the ground. This allows her to not be too weakened when she is forced to fight without her wings. Beyond this she has managed to use her taming abilities to amplify her mental perception, allowing her to increase and control the input/output of her senses. She can block out her own pain, infuse herself with pleasure, and a few other useful tricks. Lately, she has come to think that some of her abilities are borderline, as in they seem to be very similar to other angelic classes....

Swordsmanship: While she is no pro, Saella has managed to become a decent swordswoman, allowing her to deftly evade strikes, counter blows, and skillfully subdue her enemies.

Instinctual Battle Prowess: Due to her nearing her final few regressions, Saella has gained a good amount of battle knowledge and instinct, which she has managed to partially train into her muscle memory. As such she can sometimes become momentarily more deadly than normal in combat, allowing her brief bursts of exceptional effectivity, followed by a decrease in stamina and general ability till she rests.

Extensive Knowledge: Originating from her past lives, Saella has gained extensive knowledge of both humans and demons, allowing her a broader perspective in life, as well as certain situations. This knowledge can however, only take her so far.

Ensnared Demons

Tamed Demons:

Chia'raqkis'ij
Hellion Construct

"Ghaaavhaiiiiii kisiskikik cracka vhanadsfk"(We're not sure what it's trying to say, but we think it is cursing our ugly existence...rather ironic I think).

One of the FleshShaper's lesser creations, Chia'raq'kis'ij is a demon whom must beings have given up trying to call by its name, thus it is instead called 'Bladebug'...for obvious reasons.

Appearance Details: Yeah, it's repulsive. Only thing you really need to know is that it is roughly seven feet tall even when it is hunched over, so when it stands up fully it reaches roughly nine feet in height. Oh yeah and it's blind as a bat...meaning it sees through vibrations...aka its hearing is super acute. So is its sense of smell, allowing it to track down people by their essence signature alone as long as it has smelled it once before.

Abilities: Immensely fast and ridiculously hard to kill, Bladebug is capable of regenerating as long as even a single shred of his body remains intact. Along with this, it is fast, agile, and possesses a mouth and arms that can shred or cut through most materials. Even low grade swords and a good deal of firearms are easily cut into ribbons by this things blades, their master's soon consumed afterwords. This creature has no real power, unless being so repulsive that it sends most into shock initially is a power....

Nessaeris
Rahpturi - Hellion

"You better stop staring, I don't like human eyes, they make me want to rip them out."

Appearance Details: Possessing the lanky but lean build of most of his kind, Nessaeris stands at 7'3, towering over almost all humans. The wings seen on his back can very easily fold around his arms, where they will become an armor of carbon fiber till unfurled for flight. It should be noted that Rahpturi Hellions are almost half as heavy as they appear.

Abilities: Like most Rahpturi, Nessaeris, or Nessy, as Saella calls him, has the ability to exude a liquid form of carbon which he can then manipulate into various forms. This allows him to shield himself from blows with a powerful armor, or to create weapons out of solidified carbon. In addition to this, Rahpturi are exceptionally quick on their feet, as they are lighter than they look despite their general size. As a Rahpturi, Nessy has one other ability and that is a small degree of deep level mind control. This allows them to control the stability of the subconscious to disrupt or stabilize individuals on a deep level to cause general dissaray in their psyche. His abilities can be easily blocked for the most part so they generally only work if the person is very weakened, willing, or if it happens to be a sneak attack.

Dseszel
Ascended Vampire - Surface Demon

"Must I explain my position? It really is nothing special. I was a well developed surface demon, a vampire, until I devoured several angels and a demon or two. Of course it just haaad to be a problem, so I was targeted, but they all fell. Eventually I was able to grow these wings, their essence fueling my evolution till I became the magnificence you see before you! I am Dseszel, the ascended one! Bow before me lest I lay waste to your senses and the sad excuse you call a physical body."

Abilities: Dseszel is inhumanely fast, capable of moving and flying at speeds beyond the scope of the human eye. So far only skilled battle angels, and a very lucky Saella, have been able to hinder him in any way. Of course, now he is under her control. Beyond this, he is capable of conjuring massive blasts of wind with his wings and creating subtle illusions through eye contact, which allow him to make himself even more difficult to follow. These abilities, while semi-typical for ascended vampires, do not necessarily apply to all of them --though there are few due to the angel's careful watch over the surface demon population.

'The Excluded'
Demonic Construct

“Rroooaaaarghhhrrrrglurrgh”

Abilities: The Excluded is capable of creating semi-elaborate illusions that can confuse or generally disorient its foes.

Other Data: A construct created by the FleshShaper during the war, this beast was accidentally released from its cage and onto Surface a few years back. It appeared to be composed of the parts of a variety of demons who used illusion or pain inducing magic, along with obvious signs of possessing the abilities of a Sharvalli Hellion(see Kenen Vax).

Vortrud Kemex'kal 'Bane of Prosperity'
Nightwalker - Hellion

“Oh come now, having your essence drained isn't that bad, it's just terribly agonizing. It's not a bad thing though, you die eventually anyways. Might as well get it out of the way asap, right?”

Abilities: Like any nightwalker, Vortrud is capable of manipulating, assimilating, and traveling through shadows. His power increases as the illumination decreases in an area, making him strongest in dark areas or at night. Vortrud has developed his Origin State, but Saella has been unable to force him into showing her as of yet as it is deeply ingrained in the hellion and he is still able to resist her influence somewhat. Like all nightwalkers, Vortrud has a particular affinity for essence manipulation, be it his own or that of other beings.

Other Data: During the early days after the war, Vortrud took part in the demonic campaign in which demons impeded the angels from setting up base on Surface as best as they could. He was the Warden, a general of sorts, who led these guerrilla strikes against angel kind. He is a former Warden of the Western region of hell, serving under the lord of the time, which may or may not have been Szayeis. Vortrud is a member of the Nightwalker species.

Captured Demons: These are demons which Saella has captured and sealed into her crystal necklace, but not tamed thoroughly enough for use. She keeps them sealed most of them time, choosing not to use them and not to release or kill them due partially to her principles and partially because they are too dangerous to release.

http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs45/f/2009/156/d/f/Balor_Demon_by_BenWootten.jpgD'hrash 'The Blood Hungry'[/url]
A demon originating from the Western reaches of hell in the domain of the Chimeric lord. Formerly of the Warden class. A member of the Faelsar species. Was alive during the war where he killed over two hundred angels before being sealed into the crystal prison.

http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/025/e/c/demon_by_funkychinaman-d5socqz.jpgLoh'eik 'The Severed'[/url]
A demon exiled from hell, Loh'eik gained his name from the fact that he possessed no limbs excluding his two tails yet still managed to always sever the heads of angels, devouring them soon after. His race is unknown due to his body being too disfigured to identify him.

Unknown name/Unknown Title
Unknown race or former position and affiliation.

Unlight
This being was sealed into the prison by Lasarian, it is unknown as to who it is or was. Lasarian has sealed it in such a way that nothing can touch its mind without specific keys and the like. Saella is afraid of it and she calls the demon 'Unlight', despite this not being its alias or name. She has figured out most of the keys needed to access Unlight's consciousness while keeping it sealed. However, she is afraid to wake it up...as its power sends her into a cold sweat.

Kenen Vax
The Ruinous Siphon



Theme I\|/Theme II

Basic Info

Name: Kenen Vax.
Alias: The Ruinous Siphon.
Nicknames: Vaxy.
[B]Age: 700.
Species: Demon(Hellion).
Sub Genus: Sharvalli
Relations: Sealla Lasari and Daiyrisa first and foremost.
Social Status - Former Warden: While it does not award him any particular note in demonic society other than an implication of power, this status indicates to the other two races that he is not only a powerful demon, but that is perhaps also influential in some ways as well.

Appearance: Vax stands at eight feet tall and has an essentially humanoid appearance. However, his skin is of a false smoothness as to use his ability he must 'open' rather large pores in his flesh, allowing the essence to be pulled into his body. Additionally, he possesses a sleek tail with a deadly oval formation lined on both edges with serrated spikes, allowing him to use his tail as something of a club. His fingers and hands appear fairly human, but he can extend his slightly sharpened nails into wicked bird-like claws. Upon his back there are two discolored bone-like formations that run parallel to his spine and on either side of it, these can be drawn out and used as swords, after which his flesh will heal over the spots they were extracted from.

Personality: I really can't get a handle of the words to be honest, so I won't.

Biography: Before he was captured by Saella, Kenen Vax went through his evolutions and hunting events in the Southern kingdom of hell, working to become noticed by the lord of that time, aka Daiyrisa's mother.

In short he succeeded, being named one of the Warden's of the south and gaining favor from the lordess. However, her reign soon past and Daiyrisa came to rule. Initially, Kenen was not sure how he felt about this green ruler, but over time he developed a very close, and loyal, bond to her. This bond persists to this day and despite his capture by the hands of Saella and his subsequent friendship with the angel, he remains loyal to the lordess...at least in part.

Over the past year his has helped train and keep sane the angel whose sway his is under, even if she does not influence his mind as she says she does. Regardless, he has formed a bond with Saella, one he didn't think possible between angels and demons, not that he had reacted with angels much prior to her. Yet, there remains a grudge in his heart aimed at Saella for she tore him away from his lordess...forcing the demoness to remove his bond to her realm.

As such he strives to create some kind of balance between his two opposing loyalties and to assist Saella in the completion of her goal, as if she is truly successful, there will be no need for him to chose....

Capabilities

Demonic Abilities:

Ruina(Ruin): This ability is characteristic of Sharvalli hellions and allows Kenen to gather the essence of inanimate objects in large amounts from the surrounding area. Because this essence is being ripped out of objects it more or less tears apart the surrounding environment, destroying things, hence its name. The energy obtained from this process can then be used to fuel him or his various other attacks.

Demonic Influence: Sharvalli hellions can create a strange kind of surface demon when they feed on humans and do not kill them. These demons are very bat-like, but can also be seen as rather draconic, as they will gradually form scales, grow wings, and sharpened teeth, not to mention nails, to hunt. Eventually their nails will transition into talons, their eyes will become pupil-less, allowing them to literally see vibrations, though they become completely colorblind, to perceive their environment. Appearances differ slightly as some even develop tails, while others will form spikes on portions of their body. The transformation can take anywhere from two weeks to six months and is not only strenuous on the body, but on the mind due to the intense pain of one's essence warping the body to fit its new nature. As such, many of them go insane from the process, these insane crazed surface demons are basically insatiable beasts driven by instinct; they are referred to as Madbats. The other form of surface demon caused by a Sharvalli's demonic influence are anywhere between barely sane, and completely cognant and capable of rational thought, though there is always a fight for control with their instincts. These are referred to as Drakes.

Sharvallian Physique: Like the rest of his kind, Kenen is very durable due to his body's natural armor, not to mention the field of essence that covers his flesh, shielding him from a small amount of damage. Additionally, Sharvalli have a considerable amount of physical strength and speed, though speed is certainly their greater physical attribute, allowing them to run at around twenty to thirty miles per hour, though it can take them a good amount of time to get to that speed. Still, their flight speed is much faster, allowing them to hit between 40 and 50 mph, while their divebomb allows them to temporarily accelerate to around 65 mph. Their physical strength is, in comparison to other demons, not that impressive, and allows them to lift about 1,500 pounds if absolutely necessary. Their strength is more commonly used to allow them to participate and compete in normal hand to hand combat, as well as climb surfaces with their retractable talons. Their talons are sharp enough to cut through weak metals and thick wood, not to mention drywall and the like.

Vibration sense: Due to the fact that Sharvalli hellions have no eyes, they have instead developed the ability to define forms by way of vibrations which are released in their surroundings and from the small shield of essence on the surface of their flesh. This ability is more or less an extremely advanced version of echolocation. While it can be referred to as echolocation, as previously mentioned, it is considerably more advanced, allowing some Sharvalli, such as Kenen, to actually feel textures and weights by how long it takes for a vibration to pass through an object.

Magical Abilities:
Kenen Vax's magical abilities are based around his demonic ability, Ruina, so he is more or less able to shape the essence he obtains and use it for destructive purposes. He has recently learned how to heal with it as well as how to allow the essence to regain some of the properties that it was giving to the physical objects that it was ripped out of.

Skills and Learned Abilities:

Combat Skill: Due to his position and level of evolution, Kenen has a decent amount of combat experience and while he was bested by a single battle angel and tamer combination, he was taken by surprise and had not intended to fight till near the end where he was sealed into the crystal prison.

Demonic Knowledge: Since he lived out entire life in the southern realm up until he was captured, Kenen has a considerable amount of knowledge regarding his realm of origin. Whether he will share it or not is another question entirely.

Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

*facepalms so hard his hand goes through his head* Goddammit Rtron!

Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

I would appreciate if you could keep implied insults, and direct insults --not that you are doing so intentionally-- to a minimum, if not to a non-existent level.

Thank you.

Wind Wild said
Since you asked and bold and italic statements annoy me, I'll be blunt. I think all "veterans" trying to restr players for no valid reason is selfish and unjust. All I can gather is that some people had certain ideas in their heads that they claim were set facts but, may I point out, we're never discussed with the actual GM at the time, ME. I allowed players maximum freedom which never meant to create lore behind my back and you now restricting other players with those "facts" is petty. Whatever, I passed on the touch and won't correct any inaccuracies or restrict people unless asked an opinion. However I do call for Slade and Mika to act like leaders and resolve things like that sternly as you guys DID choose THEM to be leaders. Follow them.

Are we doing this, is this actually happening right now? I really hope this was not just brought into the OOC.

Actually, no, no it was not. I do apologize if this appears as arguing my dear newcomers to the RP. We will do our best to settle this little miscommunication debacle out of sight, so allow it to drift out of mind.

One of your Assistant GMs,

Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

Why thank you good sir :)

Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

Hehehe, I thought It'd be a bit more tasteful than one of my rants ^^;

Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

So, in order to remove my own personal bias from this situation, Szayeis will be speaking instead. Enjoy.

"So what's this about other lords who existed in the past? That simply makes no sense. For, you see dear Over-goddess and creator of our universe, there have been other beings of considerable power, they have and have not succeeded in establishing their own kingdoms. It just so happens that their kingdoms were overtaken by ours, or that they themselves ascended one of the four thrones to rule in their predecessor's stead. Additionally, you forget that while Hell has existed for 9,000 years, demons take a good while to become as powerful as the first of their ilk, who were the first creations of true demons by Aaurus and Lucy herself. As such, those five original demons took land, conquered others, and made treaties with many demons. Afterall, where do you think wardens came from?" The lord swirls his cup of crimson bloodwine and takes a sip before glancing at a certain Celaira's response, "Now there's a idea, afterall, I may or may not recall a time in which lords from lands unknown to us attempted to infringe upon our lands. I don't know, the memory is faint and quite vague, it's hard to know if it truly happened at all."

Smiling lightly at the pleasant aftertaste of his wine, the lord stands from his place and drifts as a humanoid shadow through the strange realm called the 'OOC'. "Of course, I mean no offense dearest...Wind? Yes, Wind, that would be your moniker in this realm. I only mean to say it would make little sense and would certainly break time no matter how hard you tried to keep it stable. It is simply too dangerous to alter the events of the past. It is better to change what is in the present for the sake of the future...Don't you think?"

Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

Sir is the demonic lord of which part of hell exactly? Because all the regions are taken (The wildlands has Baphomet, the North has a character who will be made by Synthorian, the South has Daiyrisa, the West has Szayeis, and the East has Sammael, made by Tempest). I know you had no way of knowing since your computer is being...well, wack, but still man you should've checked. If i were you, I'd talk to Synth since his northern lord might be an NPC and you /might/ be able to take that spot. Not sure though.

Essence of the World II: Tears do Fall

Thing is, Rtron, is that humans do reincarnate....

The Prophecy

I'onriyi, Stonehand

Basic Info

Name: I'onriyi, Stonehand (pronounced E-own-ri-e). 
Nickname: I'on(pronounced ee-yon), Stony(he doesn't like it when people call him this but they tend to consider his actual name to be too difficult to pronounce of which he simply fails to understand.) 

This not only shows his titles but the events that led to and created these titles for the well known Penin. Note that he is only well known in Zerul, and particularly in Zerul city than anywhere else. 

I'on the Noble: This title is mostly a joke among him and the townspeople, a joke which he secretly does not actually find very funny. You see, I'on is well known for his rumored wealth and obvious fame in the area. Additionally he is one of the few who has been allowed to meet the Duke of Zerul, though this happened many years hence. Despite the initial amount of distrust between Marcus and I'on they soon got over their small differences and quickly became friends through their interests in the magical arts. In fact, each year it is rumored -and usually true- that Marcus and I'on meet up to discuss varrying matters. 

Grace of Winds: This particular title was gained when he took several young mages along on a rather small task to eliminate a rather nasty pack of wolves a ways away from Zerul City. The horrid thing that he discovered upon his arrival was that the wolves were being led by a fairly skilled Demonspawn who appeared to have the ability to control and mutate animals to his will. The wolves were far more formidable than I'on had thought but him and the young magi were able to handle the situation. However upon returning, the young magi told of his skill i the use of wind element and how his fighting style seemed to almost mimic the random but elegant patterns of the winds movement. This title is the one he enjoys rather well and it has gotten him much business in his mercenary work and subsequently his blacksmithing. 

Age: 47. 
Race: Penin. 
Gender: Male. 
Birthplace: Sadona. 
Starting Location: Zerul. 
Social standing: He is well known in Zerul to the extent that several of his feats and his long standing business and contribution to the city have gotten him into what some lesser classes would consider the upper class. This perception is however not officially true as he does not, and will never admit to being rich or any of the sort. If asked about such issues he usually would tell them that he is simply in the working class. 

The reality of this situation is that he tends to save the majority of his money, the other amounts that he doesn't use for living expenses and shop upkeep is donated to various mages in Zerul city and sometimes beyond. Though this is a little known fact, he declined the opportunity to join the mages council and when asked why he usually replies promptly with 'Politics is, in my mind, the equivelant to Necromancy, dark with much potential for ending up dead rather than benefitting anyone.' 

Social Class: This refers to how much money he makes and what professions he is considered to have taken up. He is notably a known Blacksmith in the town of Zerul but an even more well known enchanter and psuedo-mercenary. He occassionally barters rather than trades but does seem to prefer currency rather than items for trade. He also notably sells ingredients that one would find need for in the healing arts, though not the ones of magical origin and rather the more medicinal branch. He is envied by the working class and peasants alike but the working class regards him as a skilled merchant rather than a haughty noble or a wealthy politician. He is very strict on himself with money management and has been known to carry very little on his person but compared to some this is at least 1/4th more than the average working class. That extra bit is usually used to help those he sees living on the street -this however depends on if he believes that they'll actually try to better themselves with the money- or in a considerably bad financial situation. 

Personality: I'onriyi Stonehand is certainly not a typical Penin male, he has a sort of kindness and generosity that most of his kin do not have towards strangers or people they don't know all that closely. However he does retain the like for alcohol, particularly the penin's infamous 'Finest' in addition to his current favorite, Drakehorn-wine. He has actually limited his own drinking to only several splurges a week as he has a shop to run, studies to do, and mercenary work to attend to as well. 

He -to some- is what you would call a busy body and likes to be occupying himself with something at all times if possible. In many ways, he is secretive and he doesn't tend to make too many really good friends as he doesn't feel comaradirie with the average person. He doesn't like to admit to the fact that he -at a young age- fell to the whims of his own wanderlust and finds it a bit embarassing and thus it being mentioned tends to irk him slightly. 

Unlike many Penin his temper is more, well...tempered and he has a human level control of his own temper. Now, though this applies mostly for when he is in battle, his temper is usually absent when in combat as otherwise he finds he cannot think straight and his spells go awry more often. Due to this small fact he seems more irritable when handling people in everyday life and often considers rude, drunk, overly loud, overly ambitious, and generally idiotic or clumsy people to be, well, frankly below him and lesser in many senses. 

He is stubborn when in battle and sometimes in normal conversations where he will defend his beliefs with a passion. He, in some ways is an extremist of the first law of magic -Cowath Usth Unim- 'Power demands sacrifice' which in many ways he has seen effect his own life many times. Like many Penin he is merry around friends and even more so when he is drunk which makes him a mixture of an angry and happy drunk in nature. Its a rather funny sight to see a damn happy, four foot penin male bashing in heads and getting into fights while singing drinking songs all the while. 

When speaking of polotics he scoffs and shakes his heads believing it to be 'Politics is, in my mind, the equivelant to Necromancy, dark with mcuh potential for ending up dead rather than benefitting anyone.' This ends up rather ironic as he himself does use a limited form of necromancy, though this is one of his largely kept secrets. Speaking of secrets! He is not privy to tell anyone his secrets and is especially cautious around other intelligent people or simply other mages when using his magic as he would have no other choice but to join the Deo'iel or be sent to jail if he was discovered for his practice in necromancy. 

He is privy to NOT joining with large organizations but lately he has again felt his wanderlust gradually take hold again and he is considering going off into the lands and leaving his shop in capable hands. He is incredibly stingy with his ACTUAL sum of money but does tend to be generous with the money he has on hand and is often seen giving some to beggers or unfortunate people. 

His intelligence and knowledge is certainly considerable, both in the areas of magic, the world, and especially the animals, ores, knowledge of forging, and of course crystals. Yes, crystals he still takes an apt interest in the wonderful things and though he is not one for dressing himself in a particularly fancy way he does enjoy having crystals on his person and thus tends to wear his gauntlets most of the time of which have crystals embbedded in them by his own skilled hands. 

Moving to the darker side of his personality, I'on has recently taken in the knowledge that a certain occurrence known as a 'Shard of Sin' has a considerable amount of magical power. He wishes to possibly create and cultivate multiple seeds of evil in captivity only to kill them when they manifest and absorb their power into his remaining, empty, crystal prison. When a secret such as his necromancy is discovered he does not consider it below him to remove the person from the equation or bribe, and threaten them to never speak of it again. If he has an obssession, it is with magic and the oh so expensive and elusive Crystal prisons of which he wishes to procure at least 7 more. He is ambitious and persistent like his father and is not one to give up, though he does know when it is best to retreat or withdraw from a social or more...life threatening situation. 

History: In the mountains of the Northern Wegam Fermos began the life of a penin who continually defied the traditions and typicalities of the stubborn Penin. Born to a well known mother and father both of whom were blacksmiths and warriors of the Penin, I'onriyi has had a very long and intriguing time in his journey for knowledge and to his bizarre aspiration to become a practicioner of the magical arts. 

As a child he was continually pushed into forging weapons, mining, and battle training making his already considerable durability and so called -immortality- even more difficult to be testified to. Of course many tend to find it strange that he would even refer to himself as nearly immortal as he is not...in the traditional sense. I'onriyi, I'on for short, has had what he now considers an incredibly fortunate turn of events in his life time thus far. 

This all started with his birth into the Penin race and subsequent 'skill gathering' that continuously occurred during his life. Starting with the training he recieved from his parents in mining and weapon forging he took a liking to several aspects of the Penin lifestyle, particularly...the mining. 

He began searching for things and going off on his own around the age of 15 and continually mined into areas where most Penin wouldn't go as they knew that ores would not likely be in such places. I'on on the other hand, was not looking for ores but rather for crystals. His mother, Yolri'un in particular sparked this intense interest in I'on's heart at an early age as she possessed a rare gem and various other less precious stones in some jewelry that his father 'Shaktun' found and crafted for her himself as a gift to win her over. 

Though his father was hard headed and persistent, his mother was a bit different by typical Penin standards and was a kinder, gentler person than most. Luckily his fathers hardheaded disposition finally payed off when he worked for a good few monthes to find and craft the wonderful necklace that I'on's mother now wears around her neck in obvious wonderful display. 

Regardless to this it was her retelling of this story and his father's overhearing that prompted him -after the conversation between father and son various times about where and under what conditions it is easiest to find such crystals- to search so adamently for the wonderful things. At first he only found small pieces, and even as he got better at locating them he found nothing of inherent value or use, until -after approximately 3 years of delving in various places and dealing with rather nasty encounters with some of the local beasts- he struck gold, so to speak of course. 

What he came upon was something that he later discovered was exceedingly rare which is why he was 'robbed' of most of the crystal. The crystal was seen to be both of incredible value and a simply wonderful conduit for energy, be it heat, magical, or electrical. However not knowing of his true calling in life just yet he decided to sell the majority of it and keep a large portion of it for himself. He gave even more to his race free of charge as they were his kin and friends, many of whom he'd shared a drink with by now and done various other...activities with. 
- - - - 
2 years after this I'onriyi was suddenly struck with a strange longing and after a couple days of its unfading annoyance he mentioned it to his father who told him that this was what many called 'wanderlust.' Hearing the grueling explanation he took this into account and began to pack for a journey. Before his departure however he took some of his crystal stores and went to work with various ores in the forges. It was said that the others who were in with them came in every day and that it appeared he did not leave at all to the extent that many had to bring him food and drink to keep him from collapsing. 

It took him a whole two week but finally he finished crafting his creation, a strange thing and certainly not the first he'd made before hand. At first his kin thought the creation a foolish thing and a waste of a week, however when they closer analyzed it they found that it was not only useful but had much more potential than they had initially thought. It was forged mostly from ghiril, the special crystal he had found which they later identified to be what they thought was, quartz, and pure iron and seemed to have indentations in various areas of the crystal for other crystal to be implanted -which he told them he wasn't sure why he put there-. When asked what he would name the weapon he told them this 'it has no name, but may -if it is as it should be- gain one that you will hear of before I return.' 

Soon after he departed, 20 in age and already with some experience in battle due to his encounters on his mining expeditions. He made sure to bring with him money and additional stores of the special crystal. His kin were kind enough to lend him a wagon in which to carry his supplies of which he could not carry by his lonesome. 
- - - - 
It took him months to transverse the mountains but he eventually found himself in Gilmah. Now he had been warned by those of his kin who had traveled and returned of this duchy. It did not disappoint him in its...dark tendencies and functioning. He had a rather difficult time here but he did manage to meet a particularly knowledgeable mage who practiced the art of Elemental magic and also appeared to have some knowledge of black magic that he had obtained from one of his cousins before promptly assassinating the fiend in his sleep. Of course the man, named Migrim, who was a human was never discovered for committing the crime as he had done it rather skillfully. 

The two quickly found common ground and I'on discovered one of the things he wanted to do in life, practice magic. He decided to use a sufficient sum of his money to put aside and pay Migrim to allow him to take room and learn from him the ways of magic. 
- - - - 
4 years pass and I'on soon found himself feeling his wanderlust once more and that coupled with Migrim's continuously mentioning Zerul as the place to learn magic opted I'on to finally bid farewell his tutor and first master and retrieve what remained of his wealth to travel further. In those 4 years I'onriyi learned the 6 laws of magic and as much as Migrim could tell him as well as what his own research could deem, about each magic with the exclusion of the Art of the Warden and eventually Black Magic as he soon both gave up and found too dangerous the implications behind such a dark craft. Thus as he journeyed on, heading towards Center lake he found his way far easier then before as he did not need to rely solely on his weapon of which still did not inhabit a name nor what he now knew he need search for. 

He was heading for Zerul and intended to take a boat across Center lake all the way to Pelgaid which he also wished to visit in hopes of learning more about the strange thing known as Crystal Prisons which could not only trap magical power but entire beings as well as even a soul if under the right circumstances. For this reason he traveled to Pelgaid first in order to speak with the priests about the matters of the soul and their various beliefs on such topics. 

It took him approximately 2-3 weeks at sea to reach Pelgaid and an additional month or so journey to reach the capital. He stayed in the city for around 3 months speaking with the resident priests of the soul and to those merchants in such things about where he could obtain Crystal Prisons. Most of these merchants knew very little but every so often he came upon one or two who again spoke of Zerul in this aspect and at this he was pleased. The rest of his time was spent studying whatever limited magic he could in such a restricted Duchy. Of course he did learn some rather interesting things regarding weapon wielding by sparring with various individuals as well as his frequent journeys into the surrounding wilds to not become rusty in his stay there. 

After this time passed he again set off from their capital city and traveled finally to Zerul city which took him an exceptionally long time and he actually lost more than half of his store of crystals that he still possessed. Glad when he finally reached what he at this point considered the pinpoint of knowledge in the entirety of Rodoria, I'on entered Zerul city and used the rest of his remaining funds to buy himself a shop and a forge. In the previous cities he had made sure to procure a small job of some kind but to him Zerul was different and the amount of knowledge he could gain in such a place seemed limitless. 

At first his business got very little attention but eventually it began to bolster in its customers and he was able to go out into the country side and procure various things of which he could forge into weaponry or sell for those who brewed potions or to help with ritualistic magics if need be. 
- - - - 
It is here in Zerul that he has spent the rest of his life, studying and steadily becoming a mage of considerable renown and power in the area. Additionally, much to his luck he has been able to procure 3 of the Crystal prisons -which took him a very long time and him having connections with various scholars and mages in the area simply to have the funds to buy- he so sought after but he is frankly unsatisfied with this amount and plans to soon set out to procure more. Each of these Crystals prisons with the exclusion of one is filled with his own magical power. As he understands the first and most essential law of magic he has continually gone through the process of exhaustion and regeneration of his magical energies. 

Due to the continuous nature of this process his physical state has reduced considerably and he is now frailer in musculature in comparison to the average Penin but is still at least on par with a rather lean-muscled human. His skull and hand bone armor has been retained and he is not only in possession of a rather large amount of magical power but also has just about 1/4th of the magical power expended with each exhaustion-regeneration occurrence stored within the two Crystal prisons allowing him a limited but rather large amount of magical power at his disposal. However, rather than use this directly the two Crystal prisons that he has filled are actually merged with the use of his own magics, and ability in forging to his weapon that was given its name not by his words but rather by the words of a particular mage. Thus the weapon is now named Brega Menrirl, in the arcane language meaning Unity wind. 

His head -as it has an exoskeleton like all penin have- is somewhat thicker than a human head but not overly so and so its not usually all that noticeable. Though he does have hair it is mostly hidden by his exo-skull and thus you can only see a small amount coming off the back of his neck. As I'on at least believes in looking presentable but also always being ready for anything, he wears flexible and fairly thin leather armor that he bought rather than made himself. He has a sturdy frame and he covers his brown leather armor -which has some designs simply for style- with a darker blue cloak which seems to be just the right shade to feel like water. This cloak does have a hood but he often doesn't wear that and rather leaves it off for convenience. His eyes are a strange thing as they are almost golden in hue and usually have slight bags under his eyes as he tends to stay up till the later hours in order to further whatever endeavor he is taking part in at such a time. 

Though his hair is only seen at the back of his neck it is a healthy shade of brown. Now, particularly, his face is slightly strange as the bone armor goes all the way over his head and only reveals his eyes, nose, and mouth. Thus his face is not entirely visible and will never be. His mouth tends to have the slight appearance of a scowl as if he is usually in a bad mood, though truthfully that is not the case. 

His shoulders and neck, though broader than a humans, are not all too muscular due to his magical expansion, as he calls it. His arms are of a normal size but are thinner than the average penin again because of his magical expansion. His forearms and hands however -though it isn't noticed too often due to him wearing his gauntlets, Sonedth Brega- are larger than the first section of his arms due to the bone armor which gives them a more muscular look, which is only partially true as his forearms are slightly more built when compared to the first section of his arms. 

Moving to his torso he has a broader chest than a human but he is a bit curvier than a normal penin as his muscles have lost some of their natural tightness and rather have retracted and moved into a closer figure to an hourglass, though it is rather square as he is not female. His waist is comparatively proportional and his legs are less stocky than his kin. Overall he is of average attractiveness, a tidy looking person with a slight scowl on his face when he isn't making much expression, and stands at around 4'5 in height. 

Relations: Rather than this purely being a list of people he is related to by blood it is a list of people whom might be considered rather important in knowing a bit about I'onriyi. They are presented in their order of importance and relation to I'onriyi. 

Yolri'un(Pronounced Yol-re-un): In the beginning of his life his mother, Yolri'un played a considerable role as caretaker and generally a person he could always count on and trust with anything he wished to talk about. Her kindness, sympathy, and a bit of her soft hearted atitude seemed to have rubbed off on her son I'onriyi and now in his (insert age here)'s he is becoming more in touch with this kindness though he is not a push over in anyway. 

Shaktun(pronounced Shack-ton): His father, considered by many and even I'on to be fiercely hard headed, somewhat close minded, but a very dedicated and loving Penin male he was the main obstacle for I'on when he decided to leave home. Though I'on loves his father, even in his current age he holds a slight fear that his father would frown on his current choices, especially when speaking of his practices of magic. Overall though he loves his father deeply and wishes to -at some point- visit the old rock headed man and have a good ol drink of the finest (of which is the drink that would kill most other races simply from drinking it). 

Marcus Zerul: Known well as the Duke of Zerul and a rather disconnected one at that from the poltical matters, he is a powerful mage and a close friend to I'on. The two share a common idealogy for magic and both often become completely engulfed in their studies of the art, though Marcus tends to become more enveloped into his own world when he does so. 

Migrim(Pronounced Mi-grim or Mee-grim): His first teacher in the magical arts and one of the few he would go out of his way for to do a favor, Migrim is a rather shady character but seems to be entirely honest when it comes to his closest friends which does in fact include his former pupil I'onriyi. 

General Class-Battlemage: He focuses primarily on the mage aspect of this and due to Brega Menrirl's design he is something of a necromancer as well. However he keeps the aspect of his necromancy a tightly guarded secret that any who discover will soon find he'll kill to conceal the information if needed. 

Necromancer: The only reason this applies is due to the fact that his specific control of magical energies is very precise and usually very accurate, as such he falls into this class though he does not raise corpses or the like at all. 

Rune Mage: Though limited he has a rather well versed study of runes and does not fall into this category in terms of his inability to memorize but rather because he writes runes and uses a weapon which does have runes on it, though the weapon is not anything like those used by traditional Rune mages. 

Arcane Mage: His primary use of magic is used in the arcane sense as he uses chants of words in the arcane language to invoke his magical power with the help of the precision of his Necromancer abilities which effectively means his use of magic is very well attuned. In terms of elemental affinities his only would be wind and though he is not an elemental mage he does take advantage of this through his limited rune use. In terms of casting spells he tends to say it aloud as well as write the runes in the are some of the time he actually altenates between the two or writes the runes with his staff Brega Menrirl. 

Warrior: This is rather limited really as he only had some basic training in this area. It would be better to call him a survivalist really as he has attuned reflexs and can weild his weapon Brega Menrirl masterfully. He used to be much more advanced in this area but due to his physical degradation from the exhaust-regen process of using his magic he has dropped in his overall melee combat ability. 

Other: Though he cannot use elemental magic he knows his affinity is wind and uses this to his advantage along with his Necromancy's adept energy control to better use pure flowing energies which he usually uses a simple rune or a bit of rather simply woven arcane spells to empower himself with something akin to but incredibly more limited than elemental magic. 

Physical Abilities: In comparison to his hardy, strong and nearly un-kill-able kin, he is weak in physical strength. However in comparison to humans he is still comparably strong and is capable of most things a fairly fit and well fed human is capable of. Though things that he still maintains -even after his considerable loss of strength due to his magical expansion- is his resilience. He is almost equally resilient as his normal hardy kin but is not as strong or difficult to kill in a purely physical aspect, of course its a different story when he begins using magic or has Brega Menrirl(Unity Wind). Additionally due to the fact that he has lost fat and muscle mass from his magical expansion he is lighter than most of his kind and thus a small measure nimbler and faster on his feet though he is often hard pressed to multitask immensely on both magic AND physical combat and tends to alternate rather than multitask in battle. 

Mental Abilities: Considerably intelligent and knowledgeable due to his extensive studies and time devoted to cultivating his onw intelligence as well as cunning, he is apt to use magic in ways that most wouldn't even consider and because of the fact that he has so much time to study the magical arts he has actually studied extensively in the area's he believes would, and subsequently have benefited him the most. Due to his considerable aptitude in various magical areas he has crafted himself a rather unique set of skills that work surprisingly well into his general repertoire. In terms of his memory, it is incredible and this is simply because he has spent his free time and the majority of his life paying attention and having to remember meticulous details, especially in the case of the arcane language.

Common spells

Generally, I'onriyi is an incredibly skilled mage and his deft intelligence and unique inter-related magical knowledge and particular use and specialization in the various arts make him a considerably formidable foe or ally. Though he does not have much experience in fighting with allies he has researched and asked other mercenaries or mage's alike about such matters and understands the mechanics behind doing so.

He is very used to fighting alone and thus rather apt to hold himself back or to simply not use the majority of his soul's magical power. He has gone through the exhaust-regen stage many times with him having lost count or rather just not caring after that point.

He intends to fill the third Crystal prison and the other seven that he intends to somehow procure. He intends to do this by forcing souls within the prisons. Due to this when contracted to kill things such as ghosts and the like he promptly declines as he has no intention of doing battle with such things till a time where he has more of the crystals to utilize the souls rather than send them to peace.

WILL BE UPDATED-U

Weapons and Notable Apparel

In the case of Brega Menrirl and Sonedth Brega the mere invocation of their names and the slight concentration on the runes activates the use of the Unity and usually the Wind rune in the case of Brega Menrirl. 

Spell-Book: He tends to carry a spell book to assist in remembering his own spells so that he doesn't have to memorize every single one of them. It's a rather thick tome to be precise and he is very picky about whom he allows to handle it.

Brega Menrirl(Unity Wind): A strange weapon and tool Brega Menrirl is a staff-like weapon with 3 large crystals embedded into it. One at the end and two that interrupt the flow of the metal, or at least appear to when not observing from close up. In actuality the crystal that 'interrupts' the flow of the metal does not and has been drilled through so that the metal can pass through its core. The main crystal and its corresponding holder contain 10 slots in which other crystals -which he wishes to be filled with Crystal prisons- or various other things can be placed. Currently 3 of these slots are filled, all of which are on the crystal itself rather than the metal. Now the core of this weapon is probably its most unique aspect as it was made to be hollow initially but before the metals hardened he poared ghiril and pure iron into the center which had scatterings of crystal within it.

This combination thus allowed crystals to link and form in a strange way and actually form small path ways of crystal within the core of the metal. It is thought that he put such concentration and effort into the weapon in this stage that naturally some of his magical energy flowed into the weapon and caused said formation to occur. It is however no mistake that this weapon took a whole of 3 days to craft as it is incredibly intricate.

Now the truly amazing thing about Brega Menrirl -as if it was not already incredible to begin with- is that this unique crystal structure allows it to channel magical energy easily through out and form a sort of temporary storage area within the crystal. It could be called a kind of channeler for I'on's magical abilities and is actually the reason that he is in some senses a rune mage. In particular the runes for Unity, wind, restrain, and last of all seal. The incredible thing about these runes is that they are usually fueled by the magical power stored in the two full Crystal prisons stored in the weapon. 

Though they are fueled by this I'onriyi can only keep 3 of these runes active at once as anymore tends to cause the weapon to vibrate dangerously and also to begin drawing at least double the power from his own magical stores which he likes to keep limited in its consumption. As he has mastered the use of this weapon he can effectively activate and deactivate the runes with his mind, however this is connected more directly to his gauntlets which he simply calls Sonedth Brega, or Solid Unity. When used in tandem -which they always are- with his Sonedth Brega the weapon is able to draw on the two Crystal prisons and his stores simultaneously making the drain far less than it would usually be.

Sonedth Brega(Solid Unity): The last and only other thing that he made for himself, Sonedth Brega were made in the span of time that he has been living in Zerul City and were made after some more indepth study of runes and rune mages. These gauntlets are a very clever use of crystal, leather and a flexible iron alloy which is what they are crafted from. The gauntlets have 6 carved and smoothed pieces of crystal each. 1 of these is on the palm and is flat and very small, circular and has a diameter of about half an inch. This, though small, has minute runes etched into it, which of course is the Unity and Power runes. On each finger tip of each gauntlet lays a similarly shaped -but better fitted- crystal of which have a tiny line of crystal going down the inside of the finger and connecting to the crystal in the palm of the guantlet. The only reason he was able to get such a fine line of crystal was through the use of his magic talents. 
When activated the crystals and the gloves essentially become part of his body and though they do not have all that much defense for his hands, they are also effectively merged with Brega Menrirl as well and become a cohesive whole having no weight when I'on wields them and he is easily able to move magic through the crystals to amplify his own magic when he activates the power rune which does just that by taking magical energy either from himself or from the Crystal prisons. He does use these without Brega Menrirl as well but as he almost always has the staff on his person it usually draws more from the Crystal prison's rather than from his own stores though it usually does a bit from all 3 at once.

Strengths, Weaknesses, and Miscellaneous

Defined in a general manner rather than the more specialized manners of each of his particular ability sets, be it mental, physical, or magical in nature, his strengths & weaknesses are effectively a better summed up group of particular skills and faults of I'onriyi general persona and such. 

To be frank I'on's flaws are few and far between, however -though not all of them- the majority of these are flaws or secrets that could likely lead to his demise or imprisonment if discovered. One of them namely is his practice of Necromancy which is one of his best hidden secrets. If someone were to find this out and he was unable to stop them from telling the authorities he would be -at the very least- sent into a jail which he would not like one bit. Due to him having to conceal this part of his magical talents he never uses it on corpses or any of the typically used methods and he disguises it by saying arcane words that either are not ACTUALLY arcane words or simply have no intention to cast behind them. Additionally, when and if with a group (aka when he joins the others) this means that he will have to limit himself magically in some ways in order to keep this secret until which time he truly trusts them. 

Another of his weaknesses would notably be alcohol as it makes him unable to think straight and, when drunk, uncontrollable and rather empty headed and thus he only drinks when around people he knows can keep him from doing or saying things he may, and likely would, regret. Another of his weaknesses is in fact his own anger, or rage if you will, which can cause similarly horrible results to his drunkenness/use of alcohol. His anger blinds him to detail and he loses much of his restraint when angry causing him to possibly reveal such secrets as his necromancy or do things that would be considered...illegal, foolish, or utterly brutal in nature. 

Now, a more physical of his weaknesses is his stamina which in terms of moving about, is certainly NOT what it was when he was younger. As such he tries, and is rather good at, conserving his own energy, and when with comrades he tends to stay near the rear of the group and rather provide support where needed, rather than fight up close and personal. Tied to this is his lack of training or intuitive skill in hand-to-hand fighting. Meaning if his weapon is disarmed and he cannot use magic at a distance, or simply has no way of procuring a weapon or defense from an ally, he will likely falter quite heavily or simply flee for his own safety. Thus it is pivotal that he at least keeps his staff, Brega Menrirl, on his person at all times at the very least when fighting. 

Additionally when Brega Menrirl is taken or not on his person he cannot use the Crystal prison's within and though he does have his own considerable amount of energy he tends to become increasingly cautious -to the extent that it becomes hard for him to be useful in battle- and sparing of his magical reserves. 

In traditional battle he may be skilled, however he would rather set traps with his magic over fighting up close and personal with staff and energy. Additionally, one of his fears from childhood sometimes surfaces which is frankly...of fitting in as when he was younger he was considered a bit of an outcast, though he eventually proved himself by forging Brega Menrirl. 

Now, on-wards to his strengths. He is an experienced man in terms of combat and magical expertise and is incredibly cunning and inventive in his use of the environment around him and the utilization of any tools at hand. Though he is bad at hand-to-hand combat he does tend to use his thicker arms and skull to headbutt or occasionally punch at his opponent if he considers such to be advantageous in his situation. His magical power and his additional magic gained from his two Crystal prisons are simply priceless in their application and use and he would certainly be considered brilliant in most aspects. 

In terms of political matters, he wants no part directly and knows very little of such matters. He is slightly random as he tends to use varying spells or use the same spells with varying effects as he likes to add on particular commands and such when the situation arises. His apt survivalist tendencies and instincts make him capable of surviving in the wilds for long amounts of time by hunting and trapping creatures he would need to eat. One of his strengths and faults is his curiosity for dragons, wyverns and generally the strongest or largest, most dangerous beasts in Rodoria. In terms of dragons however he would much rather discuss with one than fight one at all as he considers doing such utterly suicidal. 

Aside from these he has various quirks and unmentioned things that are weaknesses that I won't care to mention or simply can't think of right now.

Other: Though incredibly in-depth. one should note that there are certain subjects I didn't mention and truthfully I'onriyi is always seeking to better his magic, his life, and the life of others if possible. In terms of personality and goals there are a fair amount of things I chose to leave out so that RPing with him still remains interesting ^^. Additionally, for his spells these are his set ones but he is capable of weaving other spells, though they are not as specialized or perfected as the ones that I have documented here officially.
