New Babylonia wrote:App:
Character name: Marko Lerov
Gender: M
Age: 17
Appearance: 6'4", average-built Caucasian Russian male, short black hair with mildly long bangs, and very very dark brown, almost black eyes.
Personality: Quiet, though his voice carries great weight when he speaks. Very straight to the point, displays almost no emotion, and solves most problems with brute force.
Strengths/Abilities: Strength, Speed, Damage resistance, Willpower
Weaknesses: Lack of Communication, Loner, Prone to tunnel-visioning.
Short Bio: Always the anti-social type, Marko rarely spoke, no matter who was talking to him. Teachers, students, administrators, it didn't matter. This earned him many enemies, and many more fights. While his size usually helped him, it only encouraged them to gang up on him. His home life was characterized by an always drunk, lazy, and abusive father, and an exhausted irritable mother. He turned to gangs at only the age of 13. He learned to shoot, to steal, to hide, to fight. This truthfully did not help his life, rather made it worse, though he was blind to the truth of it. At age 16, he'd been arrested, and imprisoned for the 3rd time in his life. During a night in his cell, the dreams began. A great creator, this 'Lucen', was prophesized to him by some strange force. The same being showed him the world's current fate, the Ira Dei destroying humanity. It further began to show him visions of demons, and then of one particular demon and himself, as the two beings became fused together. After this, it showed the Ira Dei again, but this time, with the help of him and other demons, they were destroyed. He spent the next 5 months in prison with these dreams, his will finally breaking, and allowing the cohesion of the demon and himself, the contract was forged. And the day after, his birthday, he escaped.
Demon Familiar Name: Kaeo Rivez
Demon Gender: M
Demon Age at Death: 24
Demon Appearance:
Demon Personality: Similar to Marko, quiet, anti-social, prone to overconfidence, prefers to stand alone, and tends to be sarcastic when he does speak.
Demon Special Ability: Titan: When Kaeo has taken critical (Severe) damage, the willpower of his still-present but hidden human soul surges forward to join his demonic one, creating a large power surge, significantly increasing damage resistance, and power of all attacks.
Demon Weaknesses:
Burnout: A type of personal 'fallout' Kaeo experiences after his special ability has been triggered. The sudden onset and lose of the empowering energy leaves him weakened and exhausted for a notable period of time, slowly recovering. If not allowed full time to recover, Titan will kill him on the third, if not second trigger without full or almost full recovery.
Rage: A short temper causes Kaeo to boil-over fast, his resistance to taunts is low, and the blindness of rage brings him into far more trouble than it solves.
Once Human: Having once been human, and never haven given up his human soul, it will occasionally conflict with his demon being, to the detriment of his physical well-being.
Demon Short Bio: (Short version because I don't quite have it all) Once a human lost to the seas of hell, he ascended above his fellow captive humans to one of the demons himself, by defeating one with its own blade. Seeing the potential for a human this strong as a demon, he was promoted to their ranks.

I would accept this, but you'll need to change the Demon's bio.

If you reread the introduction on Demons and Hell, I wrote that Demons are either Nephilim (read the intro on that, though they are a form of Angel Spawn), or they were humans that sold their souls to Lucen through the signing of a blood contract. Also, Hell is just like Earth, its not a place where captive souls are tortured by demons. Basically, its a continuation of your previous life, with relatively few changes.

At least you won't go to the Purgatory and getting tortured to "cleanse your sin" soon if you lucky enough to go to hell.

It's just another Earth. Heaven's still Heaven with eternal bliss, but Earth is what you make of it. Although, given Captain Almighty Butthead's mentality, he made purgatory so humans all go there, unless they make a pact. After being punished for sins, you get to be in pure bliss, long after the sun explodes and all life ends, for all eternity. Long-term. Really, REALLY long-term.

Hell is basically just getting to be an adult longer before dying when the world ends. Which, given the context our characters are being thrust into, isn't too long away if we screw up. Or it might be forever away and Heaven is the place blowing up. We'll see~!

Rest assured that Krouse will take several opportunities to point out how ridiculous it is that Balaam seems to use the Zordon method of recruiting "teens with attitude" rather than adults with, say, competence.

See, at first glance you'd think that Karlson was just surly. But then my guy walks in, not present for the rest of his explaining and subsequent shit-flipping, and cordially introduces himself, which Karlson seems to take as a personal insult. You'd think someone who compares himself to a general would have a little more damn decorum. Maybe I'll have Jack say something to that effect.

And just imagine that for like half of Karlson's angry yelling in that last post Krouse is still halfheartedly holding his hand out to shake and the smile has just fallen off of his face.

Like I said in his app, his biggest weaknesses are his pride and temper, and I plan on making it bite him in the ass.

And if you don't want Jack to get emasculated, don't piss Christopher off any further.

I'm actually a tiny bit interested in how one would emasculate a WWII veteran who went into battle with a longbow, a claymore (the sword, not the explosive), and a set of bagpipes, and was once released from a German prison camp and walked 150 kilometers to Italy. Unless you meant literally, in which case...ew.

And I assume that by "piss him off further" you mean "do absolutely nothing that could possibly be construed as irritating"? Because that's what Krouse has done. He walked up to the person who seemed the most "in charge" and formally introduced himself. Then got screamed at.

I meant it literally in a metaphorical sense (clear as mud?).

Basically, just go into the room and talk to Balaam rather than send a retort back at the Lieutenant. You'll see in a bit why he bit Francis' head off.

Several responses sprang to mind, most of which revolved around recommending him a good proctologist. Possible things for the imaginary doctor to remove included, but were not limited to: whatever crawled up his ass and died, Jack's foot (to be deposited in about 30 seconds).

I was thinking Francis could say something about the Lieutenant's mom, but that would be far less humorous.

But Karlson and Lightheart will get a bit less wound-up as time goes along. Like I said, Balaam will explain.

She may have a joke or prank from now and then, though I doubt she will do so in any way to harm Jack.

App:
Character name: John "Jackie" Friedman
Gender: Male
Age: 20 (Started at 19)
Appearance:
Image
*another picture without shoes or coat, but has the whole body shown*
Differences: His eyes are hazel, with a brown inner part of the iris and a shiny green outer part of the iris. The pupil is obviously circular and black, since he's a human and not some kind of comic character or anything, no siree.
His shoes are black, laceless combat boots that are slipped on and off, provided that it's intended and a few moments are free to squeeze the tight shoes on or off.

Personality:
A skilled analyzer, a cunning thinker, and a charlatan convinced of his superiority, Jackie is constantly either annoying or helping those around him, but generally acting superior in either case. He's always looking to show off his skills or abilities to those around him to demonstrate the superiority he perceives himself of, although he does understand he's not the best at anything, just "better than all at most" as he puts it. He also can't help but crack jokes, seemingly unphased by most situations normally deemed scary. However, on a more serious note, he respects merit and does not respect those who have inherited their power or otherwise gotten their position "for being useless". He also has a tendency to be fine with not really having friends, and generally mentally objectifies people into being complicated resources and toys instead of people. Probably for the best in the real world, given that he also likes many 'nerdy' activities like cosplaying, gaming, and other stuff in addition to his self-improving activities, both activity groups not exactly being very good for becoming a popular kid.

Strengths/Abilities:
  • Bucking Ass: Martial arts! The COOL way to get your cardio and PE in! Also helps in showing off.
  • Stubborn-Ass: Whether it's an insult or a gun in his face, Jackie will remain calm and laugh off anything, staying level-headed even in the face of anger or vision-blurring pain.
  • Smart-Ass: Like some kind of generic antihero detective, Jackie is talented at analyzing things, people, and problems. Whether he's figuring out how a machine works or how someone's mind works, Jackie can pick things up in a glance.
  • Wise-Ass: Jackie knows a whole lot of random things and skills of varying use, such as "bacon sandwiches can help hangovers", "the direction the drain swirls depends on which side of the equator you're on", or even "styrofoam and gasoline makes a crude form of napalm". However, the randomness goes both ways. Some things that are regarded as common knowledge are occasionally lost in this mess, such as what month Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day are in. "I can tie someone up in three different ways in as many knots!" "How the hell does one tie a shoelace properly again...?"
Weaknesses:
  • Jackie-Ass: Jackie will oftentimes "bite off more than he can chew" and tease and taunt someone who can quite obviously whoop his skinny rear twice over. While he's less likely to risk the wrath of an authority such as a cop, leader, or other figure with 'political' power, he will still annoy his "allies" until the bloody end.
  • Weak-Ass: Jackie can't lift his way out of a pillow pile. He simply lacks human strength and relies on his will and skill to perform physical feats. Magical boosts will be his only salvation in terms of strength.
  • No Driving Experience/License: Who needs a car when you have public transportation and feet? Driving a car's just like it is in GTA, right? Right?
Short Bio:
Business and pleasure are two things that are often said to be a poor idea to mix. Jackie's upper-middle class parents follow this, and had a child so that, in the unfortunate event of death, legal would be easier and ownership of businesses and properties would remain in blood's hands for almost-guaranteed financial security. His parents are more like close business partners than marital partners, and were also barely present in Jackie's upbringing. He was lucky to inherit his parent's smarts, as that helped him succeed easily in school and grasp concepts, keeping the "funding" for Mr. & Mrs. Friedman's "investment" assured. Jackie was primarily raised by a nanny while younger, but as time went on the nanny went from the role of doing chores and keeping the kid safe to just being there for legal reasons so that Jackie wouldn't be taken away for being alone almost always, although he generally was stuck being alone usually anyways. A bit annoyed with how life seemed spoon-fed, Jackie tried his best to make himself better and gain bragging rights other than those he was handed due to birth. He took martial arts instead of track, he took the harder and cooler obligatory foreign language class of German instead of the easy foreign language class of Spanish, he shot dual pistols at the range instead of doing it the sane way, and more. His intelligence and ambition, combined with his regular "allowance" from his parents, allowed him to get his own money coming in from investments and stocks. He wasn't rich, but he guaranteed that he'd be able return to his class safely if his parents disowned him for whatever reason. Fortunately (if you're cold enough to say so), his parents don't care enough as long as their investment is intact and promising, and usually only check up on him via email. He has graduated from highschool, and is currently living in his house alone, and WAS planning on which college to go to, when fate struck him upside the head.

He began having strange dreams, of the Gnostic cult growing globally and its true intentions. The true nature of reality, and even more. Jackie didn't really care either way about the dreams, but did hope that these dark prophecies were true and not just subconscious nonsense. A war, but not just a war, a war of light and earth, order and freedom, water and blood! The greatest bragging right of all, saving the world and becoming a demigod! When the offer came around, his new familiar was rather surprised at how quick the answer was, barely even letting the demon finish its sentence. Jackie and Walter don't get along very well due to drastic personality differences, however they both have a common overarching goal and Jackie is more than willing to do the dirty work, so the duo can still operate.


Theme: Blumenkranz
[Secrets List]


Demon Familiar Name: Doctor Walter Gottschalk
Demon Gender: Male
Demon Age at Death: 43
Demon Appearance:

Demon Personality:
Serious but kind, and highly disliking of violence. Walter has a good heart and tries to do what's right whenever possible, but is very much not happy with the idea of killing due to various reasons in his life. He tends to seem cold and harsh, but he is a genuinely nice person. Foreign customs and chain-smoking don't help him seem much more approachable either. He views his life as a demon as punishment for his evils committed in life. He feels that people have a right to life, and while he doesn't like the idea of fighting "God", Yahovim planning to kill everyone isn't exactly making him the goodguy here so Walter feels he needs to do the right thing.

Demon Special Ability:
The user can turn their entirety or parts of themselves into a state resembling smoke or mist, along with worn, held, or touched items (within reason of the given power level). Air can also be turned into smoke, but will return back to air once it's returned to normal.

The smoke moves at the same pace that the user can, and is fully controllable. The smoke clouds can now be moved a short distance from the "heart" of the main cloud (or the user's solid body, if applicable), but only a short distance.

The smoke can change color and starts out as the color of the material it was formed of, but black and faded colors are quicker to change into. It is not possible to turn completely invisible, just translucent and hazy due to lack of density, or maybe turn into camouflage. The smoke can be place accurately enough to make intangible illusions/props, however they are merely smoke and not real. The 'props' will look slightly fuzzy, however. On a tangently-related note, the user can make sounds with the smoke via causing the particles to vibrate. This is how speaking and other noises are made when in smoke form.

In smoke form, things aren't really useful due to not being solid, however it will make dodging easier as objects will go through it, along with the ability to float around being useful for reaching otherwise-impossible locations. The user can also materialize nonliving objects into forms different than they originally were, such as changing a wooden board into a baseball bat. However, the user actually needs to know what they're making and materials will have the same density/status as they were before being smokeshifted. They also cannot make an iron object out of wood, compress items into nigh-indestructible superheavy clubs, or anything like that. To make a firearm, they can't just go "let's make a gun", they need to know every last spring and screw and pin. Also, the "cannot make unknown systems" bit will cause dead animal tissue to rot faster than it normally would (not supernaturally fast, just twice the normal rate or so) due to cells being turned inside out and otherwise not doing so good. So he could make objects out of meat and tendons, but they would pretty much be impossible to bring to life.

However, this form is not infallible. The smoke cannot cross salt lines, and will be damaged normally by holy weapons/attacks. The state cannot be entered during holy recitations, and will be ended in that case, returning the user or items back.



Demon Element: Fire

Demon Weaknesses:
  • Pacifistic Preference: What it says on the tin. He very much hates fighting, whether it's himself or another that is doing it. He likely will leave Jackie to do all the fighting, however Jackie's fine with that given his personality. Walter will still not be happy, but he doesn't have a say in what Jackie does with his body, and doesn't really have leverage due to being bound by the pact and not being suicidal.
  • Terrible 'Cardio': Due to echos of his past life and it being imprinted onto his mind long after death, Walter is not very athletic or able to do much of anything requiring a strong heartrate. His heart condition also gives him a slightly-grayed skintone.
  • Cold Demeanor: Walter usually seems rather cold, usually possessing a dead expression and being poor at nonverbal aspects of communication. Him being foreign also would worsen the situation to Americans and Brits, due to not fully-understanding subtleties and his foreign subtleties not coming across correctly. "I hope this works, cross your fingers!" "...what does crossing my fingers have to do with anything? What?"
Demon Short Bio:
Growing up as a child gifted in all attributes beyond anything that could be expected, Walter was quickly the "favorite child". He was raised to be rather polite due to the day and age, and had great expectations upon him due to him being so unusually gifted. All of his family's money was dedicated to getting him through to education, however he was drafted before he could go to one. He was relatively fine with this, and was happy to serve his country. He learned discipline and was quite physically able due to being gifted, and picked up the habit of smoking, but his service was cut short due to being shot through the heart. However, this was not the end for our little soldier, and the natural mechanisms for slowing the graveness of such a wound kicked in. Normally, a human would be able to live in agony for a while, but it would take something greater to live long enough for a primitive medic to fix such a wound and for such crude methods to actually let someone survive. Thankfully, this was no mere human, although he didn't know this yet. Walter managed to survive this notable wound with a permanent handicap leaving him with an almost grayer skintone and an inability to do much physical activity. He viewed this miraculous recovery as being from God, and he dedicated the rest of his life to serving what he viewed as the greater good.

After the war, he and his family managed to scrap enough money together to get him to apply to get a medical degree, and his gifted state allowed him to quickly become skilled and rise up. He eventually graduated at the top of his class, to the ire of the more noble and rich. He immediately had offers to become a doctor in various places, and picked one. He later was approached to perform medical research as he was such a gifted student, and accepted happily as he would be helping the greater good to make the world a better place. However, his facility was broken into by foreigners and he managed to get shot again, this time not being so lucky. Then he found out he wasn't so lucky and gifted thanks to the lord in heaven, but the one of Hell.

In Hell, things weren't nearly as bad as advertised, but regardless of this fact and the fact his religion turned out to be the "wrong" one, he became repentant in death and regretted things he had done in life. He came to very much dislike violence and bloodshed, and valued the right to life of all people. While he does view Lucen for basically being Satan and feels conflicted about being on his side, Walter holds loyalty to Lucen as Yahovim wants to kill everyone, whereas Lucen wants to save mankind and let them be free. Walter wishes to help everyone, so helping save the world, mankind, and the rights of all is not an offer to consider, but an obligation. He was careful about easing his potential host into such a startling revelation that the world is not as things are described and how a great calamity is approaching, as it would be scarring for many teenagers to learn such things. Once he had given all the information he had, he granted his offer, unsure if the child would accept or not. Walter fully understood if the young one would not accept, as it was an impossible task with grave consequences. Walter was rather shocked that the boy barely let him finish his offer before accepting. Him now being chained to an annoying prick is and will be a terrible experience, but this IS after Walter got sent to Hell, so he expects his eternal punishment as not exactly being a joyride.

*panting*
THERE. FINISHED. Okay, now to actually read the posts in the IC thread other than the OP. Man, I really spend too much time on my apps. Too much time preparing future punchlines...

I really hope I didn't forget anything. I can't help but feel I forgot something. It's 4AM and I am having trouble remembering my name. Okay, sleep now. Brain bork. Goodnight.

IC Info: TL;DR verson of Nekronia: Authoritarian government with elements of the USSR and national socialism. Everyone works for the government, and buys from the government, obsoleting taxes as the money does not leave the country, save for government buying of items of foreign nations. Military is advanced but unconventional, focusing on infantry and psychological warfare. Primary method of national income is export of armaments and other war-related items.

Character name: Marko Lerov
Gender: M
Age: 17
Appearance: 6'4", average-built Caucasian Russian male, short black hair with mildly long bangs, and very very dark brown, almost black eyes.
Personality: Quiet, though his voice carries great weight when he speaks. Very straight to the point, displays almost no emotion, and solves most problems with brute force.
Strengths/Abilities: Strength, Speed, Damage resistance, Willpower
Weaknesses: Lack of Communication, Loner, Prone to tunnel-visioning.
Short Bio: Always the anti-social type, Marko rarely spoke, no matter who was talking to him. Teachers, students, administrators, it didn't matter. This earned him many enemies, and many more fights. While his size usually helped him, it only encouraged them to gang up on him. His home life was characterized by an always drunk, lazy, and abusive father, and an exhausted irritable mother. He turned to gangs at only the age of 13. He learned to shoot, to steal, to hide, to fight. This truthfully did not help his life, rather made it worse, though he was blind to the truth of it. At age 16, he'd been arrested, and imprisoned for the 3rd time in his life. During a night in his cell, the dreams began. A great creator, this 'Lucen', was prophesized to him by some strange force. The same being showed him the world's current fate, the Ira Dei destroying humanity. It further began to show him visions of demons, and then of one particular demon and himself, as the two beings became fused together. After this, it showed the Ira Dei again, but this time, with the help of him and other demons, they were destroyed. He spent the next 5 months in prison with these dreams, his will finally breaking, and allowing the cohesion of the demon and himself, the contract was forged. And the day after, his birthday, he escaped.
Demon Familiar Name: Kaeo Rivez
Demon Gender: M
Demon Age at Death: 24
Demon Appearance:
Demon Personality: Similar to Marko, quiet, anti-social, prone to overconfidence, prefers to stand alone, and tends to be sarcastic when he does speak.
Demon Special Ability: Titan: When Kaeo has taken critical (Severe) damage, the willpower of his still-present but hidden human soul surges forward to join his demonic one, creating a large power surge, significantly increasing damage resistance, and power of all attacks.
Demon Weaknesses:
Burnout: A type of personal 'fallout' Kaeo experiences after his special ability has been triggered. The sudden onset and lose of the empowering energy leaves him weakened and exhausted for a notable period of time, slowly recovering. If not allowed full time to recover, Titan will kill him on the third, if not second trigger without full or almost full recovery.
Rage: A short temper causes Kaeo to boil-over fast, his resistance to taunts is low, and the blindness of rage brings him into far more trouble than it solves.
Once Human: Having once been human, and never haven given up his human soul, it will occasionally conflict with his demon being, to the detriment of his physical well-being.
Demon Short Bio:

I would accept this, but you'll need to change the Demon's bio.

If you reread the introduction on Demons and Hell, I wrote that Demons are either Nephilim (read the intro on that, though they are a form of Angel Spawn), or they were humans that sold their souls to Lucen through the signing of a blood contract. Also, Hell is just like Earth, its not a place where captive souls are tortured by demons. Basically, its a continuation of your previous life, with relatively few changes.

Yep, that's what I get for writing this after a couple days of not reading :P
Now I'm having a complete block as to how to write it. I have the idea, just no way to put into words quite yet.
The power of self is unlimited and ultimate, an unending wave of pure energy and being that could never be stopped, apart from time and forever ingrained into the fabrics of all being, this is the truth of Korrelian Existentialism.

⚧Copy and paste this in your sig if you passed biology and know gender and sex aren't the same thing ⚧
Pronouns? Just use whatever, it's all the same to me :P
You will always have your friends, with your friends, you will never be alone. There will always be a light. Friendship is Magic, its the magic that brings the most glimmering lights of hope to the darkest of worlds. And as long as you have it, you will never have to be afraid of the dark. - Me, New Babylonia ^^

Character name: Miranda Roberts
Gender: Female
Age:17
Appearance: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-updpZ-3AvzU/U ... ter+2.jpeg
Personality: Confident and often friendly, yet quick to anger. Miranda enjoys fighting greatly. Though she doesn't pick fights, she often retaliates with violence.
Strengths/Abilities : Hand to hand training, Athletic, Strong willed, Confidence.
Weaknesses
She can sometimes get in over her head or get carried away in a fight.
Often she relies on the most direct method to solve a problem.
Often she will overestimate her own strength.

Short Bio: Miranda lived a hectic life with a single mother who was going in between jobs and bouncing from town to town. Often these jobs were criminal in nature, but her mother needed the money for the often pricey necessities, such as rent and food. However her mother is begging to get into the slowly consuming quagmire a life of crime can be.

To cope with these family problems, Miranda took up boxing and began to enjoy it. Fighting was a release of sorts from the reality of the fragility of her life and her lack of control over it.

Soon enough, she began having dreams. Dreams of Demons, the end of the world and her future familiar: a knight who seemed reluctant to show his face. One day he offered her a deal. She took it, seeing as the world being destroyed would lead to her own death and it would be an escape from the reality she wished to reject.
Demon Familiar Name: Marcus Athas
Demon Gender: Male
Demon Age at Death: 36
Demon Appearance: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/ ... d67f9d.jpg
Demon Personality: Gruff, blunt, honest and stubborn, yet wise and experienced. He often serves as a voice of reason to his hosts, whether they would like one or not.
Demon Special Ability : Armour and Weapon Summon: The Demon summons a ghostly suit of armour around the host, blocking against most attacks. This armour has weak points and if it sustains too much damage, it can be dissipated. A medieval weapon of some sort may also be summoned and desummoned at will.

Red Demon Bonus:
+ Holy weapons (Or powerful attacks) hitting the armour thrice, instantly destroys it. Too much fire from small arms fire can also cause it to be destroyed.
+ Greatly increases wearers survivability (Increasing DUR by +4) and increases strength (Increases STR by +2)
-Once destroyed, the armour is mental "repaired" This process takes roughly 30 minutes during a peaceful situation and an hour during combat or times of stress.
- Also, her armour can only be sustained for five minutes
-Also, while being repaired, Miranda takes a hit to her speed (-1 to SPD)
+Finally, Miranda may now summon two energy constructs at a time, Weapons, Shields (Which follow the same rules as her armour) and other such things that would be available to medieval knights.

Red Demon Element: Earth


Demon Weaknesses : Stubborn, Resistant to progress and change and he can be harsh. Often overly cautious and often too bound by honour. Dislikes showing his face under the helmet.
Demon Short Bio : Not much is known about Marcus. It is know he was a knight during the English War of the Roses, fighting for the house of Lancaster. He died at Bosworth Field, a blade through his heart.

Character name: Clarence McAllister

Gender: male

Age: 19

Appearance: http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fstatici.behindthevoiceactors.com%2Fbehindthevoiceactors%2F_img%2Fchars%2Fchar_18657.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.behindthevoiceactors.com%2Ftv-shows%2FBaccano%2FClaire-Stanfield%2F&h=240&w=210&tbnid=BCCqqZW2UIVquM%3A&zoom=1&docid=oy1TwPRjxfDAfM&hl=en&ei=i9yiU9fPPMmU0QW5qoCgBA&tbm=isch&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=442&page=1&start=0&ndsp=23&ved=0CDAQrQMwAw
He is notable for moving and speaking very arythmically, which tends to put people ill at ease.

Usually rather calm and kind in a quiet, polite, non-committal way; however, he is very emotionally unstable and prone to snap almost randomly into bouts of murderous violence during which his personality changes very much, becoming completely cold and aloof. He tends to think of extreme violence as a means as valid as any other to reach an adapted goal, and has no second thoughts about murder (though he dislikes torture). A committed moral nihilist, he thinks that no moral system – even that of Yahovim – has any value, that only logic and facts are worthy of respect and that human actions are ultimately dictated by either instinct or whims; he scorns religion in general as an ideology that seeks to force its moral system on people without even trying to justify it. He can be extremely blunt and insensitive on philosophical and strategic issues. Very protective of Boali.


Extraordinarily proficient in close combat (he practices several martial arts diligently), he always carries on his person enough concealed weaponry for a platoon; he exercises on a daily basis – not only regular exercising but also things like yoga and gymnastics – and has impressive physical capabilities, including the ability to completely ignore almost any amount of pain; he has no feelings of fear or hesitation whatsoever (literally, it’s clinically impossible for him to be afraid); he works surprisingly well in a competent team, being able to predict competent teammates’ actions and needs and cooperate with them smoothly.


As a consequence of his personal philosophy, he is extremely whimsical and doesn’t really have a good motivation for fighting alongside the others, having accepted the contract out of sheer boredom and because it sounded interesting. His psychological instability tends to be jarring or outright dangerous to others, making teamwork difficult until everyone got accustomed to him; it can also land him in trouble for overreacting to benign issues. Given the amount of weaponry he has on him at all times, being frisked by any law enforcement agency would land in him deep trouble. His bluntness towards others’ feelings and lack of respect for their personal beliefs can lead to frictions within any group.
He is also completely incompetent in the use of modern technology, being barely able to use the Internet. He cannot drive.


Clarence was born in war-torn Eastern Europe under the name Aleks. His mother died giving birth to him; he grew up under his father’s regular drunken abuse, in a slum where violence was not a social issue but everyone’s default state of being. At the age of nine, he killed his father in self-defense and was sent to a religiously-funded orphanage, which turned out to be a recruitment ground for child soldiers. He was soon taken in by one of the many small armies tearing the area apart and trained in infiltration and close combat, with the aim of making him part of a specialized urban warfare unit.
This continued until he was thirteen, at which point he was wounded in battle and abandoned on the spot by his retreating allies. Doctors from an international organization, the McAllister couple, found him dying and saved his life; they went on to bring him with them to the USA and officially adopt him, giving him his new name.
He then proceeded to live as normally as he could, eventually becoming a student in biology, until he started having strange dreams about God destroying the world and his help being required. His foster parents had been killed when he was seventeen by Islamist radicals in Afghanistan, so he didn’t have a reason to stay safe anymore, and he was bored out of his mind, so he accepted the deal.


Demon Familiar Name: Boali

Demon Gender: female

Demon Age at Death: 7

Demon Appearance:http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.soultravelmultimedia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F03%2FAfricans-151.png&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.soultravelmultimedia.com%2F2012%2F05%2F04%2Fthe-beautiful-people-of-africa-130-gorgeous-photos%2F&h=449&w=638&tbnid=ayI7b6gV9n4PJM%3A&zoom=1&docid=-6zgkgHgJvo9JM&hl=en&ei=iuiiU7yGFKTJ0AW534DQAQ&tbm=isch&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=994&page=1&start=0&ndsp=22&ved=0CC0QrQMwAg
She has lost her left foot; it is replaced by a wooden prosthetic, but she still cannot walk well.

Generally quiet and very shy, she is actually bright and affectionate once you get to know her. She looks up to Clarence as both a father and a brother figure, is very possessive of him and is usually found clinging to him (often in strange postures): she has lost a foot to the landmine that claimed her life, and therefore cannot easily walk unassisted. The reason why her foot did not grow back in Hell is unclear; the landmine, an artisanal model, might have contained shards of a relic or some other holy element (probably unbeknownst to its maker). Boali is unusually intelligent and cultured for her age, having spent most of her time in Hell reading (after learning how to do it); she also isn’t very sensitive to fear, having absolute confidence in Clarence’s ability to protect her. She is the only person who can control Clarence during his bouts of insanity. She loves manga and anime, and often makes references to them in her (surprisingly snarky) humor.


Shuffling: Boali's power focuses particularly on regeneration, and her Special Ability is an extension of that. Shuffling is a power that allows Clarence, when Boali is hidden within him, to rearrange his body parts as he sees fit: he can make his bones, muscles and various organs change shape and location at will.If he is separated from one of his body parts, he can pick it up later on and re-absorb it. With the Red Demon promotion, the Shuffling can now alter Clarence's body at the level of biological tissues, allowing him to form new tissues and thus give himself new bodily functions.
Clarence is also exceptionally fast at regeneration, at the cost of his other default contractor enhancements.


Demon Element: Water.

Shuffling respects the conservation of mass: Clarence cannot make one body part bigger without reducing another one's size.
Shuffling, unless it is done with enormous care and therefore very slowly, doesn't disable the nervous system while it is being used. In other words, Clarence feels pain while modifying his body, and the pain is usually excruciating, to the point that most humans would pass out instantly from it.
The effects of Shuffling can presently only be maintained for a few hours: the body modifications are not permanent, and everything slides back to its original location and shape after a certain time. If a body part is separated from the rest, it will remain in its modified shape until it is re-absorbed by the main body; however, said main body will be deprived of the separated body part's mass until then.
Clarence cannot, as of now, design entirely new mechanisms for his body: he can only use the materials and substances already at his disposal. However, if he knows how a certain non-human biological mechanism works and it doesn't imply stuff which a human body cannot be modified into at the macroscopic level, Clarence can build that mechanism. This has been updated after the Red Demon promotion: Clarence can now arrange new tissues from the cells he possesses, thus allowing him to make up new materials to a limited extent.
By default, Boali has unusual powers: they focus so much on regeneration that she hardly enhances Clarence's strength and stamina at all, and his telekinesis is essentially limited to influencing his body's trajectory and such weak applications. This has been updated after the Red Demon promotion: she still specializes in regeneration, but now boosts Clarence's other physical abilities significantly (though still not as much as a standard Red Demon).
Boali herself is physically very weak, and indeed unable to move correctly. In combat, she typically remains hidden within Clarence.


There isn’t much to say. Boali was born in Sahel while a civil war was, as usual, raging. She was a child of rape, and her mother tended to neglect her; her father (that is, her mother’s husband) was killed in battle when Boali was barely two months old. When she was seven, she stepped on a landmine and died. Her dream was to become a doctor.


P.S.: Theme song: This, obviously.

Character name: John "Jackie" Friedman
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance:
(Image)
*another picture without shoes or coat, but has the whole body shown*
Differences: His eyes are hazel, with a brown inner part of the iris and a shiny green outer part of the iris. The pupil is obviously circular and black, since he's a human and not some kind of comic character or anything, no siree.
His T-shirt is a light grey.
His shoes are black, laceless combat boots that are slipped on and off, provided that it's intended and a few moments are free to squeeze the tight shoes on or off.

Personality:
A skilled analyzer, a cunning thinker, and a charlatan convinced of his own greatness, Jackie is constantly either annoying or helping those around him, but generally acting superior in either case. He's always looking to show off his skills or abilities to those around him to demonstrate the superiority he perceives himself of, although he does understand he's not the best at anything, just "better than all at most" as he puts it. He also can't help but crack jokes, seemingly unphased by most situations normally deemed scary. However, on a more serious note, he respects merit and does not respect those who have inherited their power or otherwise gotten their position "for being useless". He also has a tendency to be fine with not really having friends, and generally mentally objectifies people into being complicated resources and toys instead of people. Probably for the best in the real world, given that he also likes many 'nerdy' activities like cosplaying, gaming, and other stuff in addition to his self-improving activities, both activity groups not exactly being very good for becoming a popular kid.

Strengths/Abilities:
  • Martial Artist: The COOL way to get your cardio and PE in! Also helps in showing off.
  • Iron and Collected: Whether it's an insult or a gun in his face, Jackie will remain calm and laugh off anything, staying level-headed even in the face of anger or vision-blurring pain.
  • Wits: Like some kind of generic antihero detective, Jackie is talented at analyzing things, people, and problems. Whether he's figuring out how a machine works or how someone's mind works, Jackie can pick things up in a glance.
  • Random Access Memory: Jackie knows a whole lot of random things and skills of varying use, such as "bacon sandwiches can help hangovers", "the direction the drain swirls depends on which side of the equator you're on", or even "styrofoam and gasoline makes a crude form of napalm". However, the randomness goes both ways. Some things that are regarded as common knowledge are occasionally lost in this mess, such as what month Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day are in. "I can tie someone up in three different ways in as many knots!" "How the hell does one tie a shoelace properly again...?"
Weaknesses:
  • Antagonist: Jackie will oftentimes "bite off more than he can chew" and tease and taunt someone who can quite obviously whoop his skinny rear twice over. While he's less likely to risk the wrath of an authority such as a cop, leader, or other figure with 'political' power, he will still annoy his "allies" until the bloody end.
  • Stringbean: Jackie can't lift his way out of a pillow pile. He simply lacks human strength and relies on his will and skill to perform physical feats. Magical boosts will be his only salvation in terms of strength.
  • No Driving Experience/License: Who needs a car when you have public transportation and feet? Driving a car's just like it is in GTA, right? Right?
Short Bio:
Business and pleasure are two things that are often said to be a poor idea to mix. Jackie's upper-middle class parents follow this, and had a child so that, in the unfortunate event of death, legal would be easier and ownership of businesses and properties would remain in blood's hands for almost-guaranteed financial security. His parents are more like close business partners than marital partners, and were also barely present in Jackie's upbringing. He was lucky to inherit his parent's smarts, as that helped him succeed easily in school and grasp concepts, keeping the "funding" for Mr. & Mrs. Friedman's "investment" assured. Jackie was primarily raised by a nanny while younger, but as time went on the nanny went from the role of doing chores and keeping the kid safe to just being there for legal reasons so that Jackie wouldn't be taken away for being alone almost always, although he generally was stuck being alone usually anyways. A bit annoyed with how life seemed spoon-fed, Jackie tried his best to make himself better and gain bragging rights other than those he was handed due to birth. He took martial arts instead of track, he took the harder and cooler obligatory foreign language class of German instead of the easy foreign language class of Spanish, he shot dual pistols at the range instead of doing it the sane way, and more. His intelligence and ambition, combined with his regular "allowance" from his parents, allowed him to get his own money coming in from investments and stocks. He wasn't rich, but he guaranteed that he'd be able return to his class safely if his parents disowned him for whatever reason. Fortunately (if you're cold enough to say so), his parents don't care enough as long as their investment is intact and promising, and usually only check up on him via email. He has graduated from highschool, and is currently living in his house alone, and WAS planning on which college to go to, when fate struck him upside the head.

He began having strange dreams, of the Gnostic cult growing globally and its true intentions. The true nature of reality, and even more. Jackie didn't really care either way about the dreams, but did hope that these dark prophecies were true and not just subconscious nonsense. A war, but not just a war, a war of light and earth, order and freedom, water and blood! The greatest bragging right of all, saving the world and becoming a demigod! When the offer came around, his new familiar was rather surprised at how quick the answer was, barely even letting the demon finish its sentence. Jackie and Walter don't get along very well due to drastic personality differences, however they both have a common overarching goal and Jackie is more than willing to do the dirty work, so the duo can still operate.





Demon Familiar Name: Doctor Walter Gottschalk
Demon Gender: Male
Demon Age at Death: 43
Demon Appearance (note: demons are not butt-ugly beasts. Rather, they look like humans):

Demon Personality:
Serious but kind, and highly disliking of violence. Walter has a good heart and tries to do what's right whenever possible, but is very much not happy with the idea of killing due to various reasons in his life. He tends to seem cold and harsh, but he is a genuinely nice person. Foreign customs and chain-smoking don't help him seem much more approachable either. He views his life as a demon as punishment for his evils committed in life. He feels that people have a right to life, and while he doesn't like the idea of fighting "God", Yahovim planning to kill everyone isn't exactly making him the goodguy here so Walter feels he needs to do the right thing.

Demon Special Ability:
The user can turn their entirety or parts of themselves into a state resembling smoke or dust. Worn items or held items (within reason) can also be "smoked". The smoke moves at a walking pace, and is fully controllable, but will always remain connected to the user (or just in one piece, if the whole user has assumed smoke form), even if it has to be spread out thinner. The smoke can change color very slowly and starts out as the color of the material it was formed of, but black and faded colors are quicker to form. It is not possible to turn invisible, just hazy due to lack of density, or maybe turn into basic camouflage. In smoke form, things aren't really useful due to not being solid, however it will make dodging easier as objects will go through it, along with the ability to float around being useful for reaching otherwise-impossible locations. At higher levels, perhaps the 'wind' would be faster and stronger, or larger objects would be able to be smoke-shifted?

However, this form is not infallible. The smoke cannot cross salt lines, and will be damaged by holy weapons/attacks. The state cannot be entered during holy recitations, and will be ended in that case, returning the user or items back to their original form.

Demon Weaknesses:
  • Pacifistic Preference: What it says on the tin. He very much hates fighting, whether it's himself or another that is doing it. He likely will leave Jackie to do all the fighting, however Jackie's fine with that given his personality. Walter will still not be happy, but he doesn't have a say in what Jackie does with his body, and doesn't really have leverage due to being bound by the pact and not being suicidal.
  • Terrible 'Cardio': Due to echos of his past life and it being imprinted onto his mind long after death, Walter is not very athletic or able to do much of anything requiring a strong heartrate. His heart condition also gives him a slightly-grayed skintone.
  • Cold Demeanor: Walter usually seems rather cold, usually possessing a dead expression and being poor at nonverbal aspects of communication. Him being foreign also would worsen the situation to Americans and Brits, due to not fully-understanding subtleties and his foreign subtleties not coming across correctly. "I hope this works, cross your fingers!" "...what does crossing my fingers have to do with anything? What?"
Demon Short Bio:
Growing up as a child gifted in all attributes beyond anything that could be expected, Walter was quickly the "favorite child". He was raised to be rather polite due to the day and age, and had great expectations upon him due to him being so unusually gifted. All of his family's money was dedicated to getting him through to education, however he was drafted before he could go to one. He was relatively fine with this, and was happy to serve his country. He learned discipline and was quite physically able due to being gifted, and picked up the habit of smoking, but his service was cut short due to being shot through the heart. However, this was not the end for our little soldier, and the natural mechanisms for slowing the graveness of such a wound kicked in. Normally, a human would be able to live in agony for a while, but it would take something greater to live long enough for a primitive medic to fix such a wound and for such crude methods to actually let someone survive. Thankfully, this was no mere human, although he didn't know this yet. Walter managed to survive this notable wound with a permanent handicap leaving him with an almost grayer skintone and an inability to do much physical activity. He viewed this miraculous recovery as being from God, and he dedicated the rest of his life to serving what he viewed as the greater good.

After the war, he and his family managed to scrap enough money together to get him to apply to get a medical degree, and his gifted state allowed him to quickly become skilled and rise up. He eventually graduated at the top of his class, to the ire of the more noble and rich. He immediately had offers to become a doctor in various places, and picked one. He later was approached to perform medical research as he was such a gifted student, and accepted happily as he would be helping the greater good to make the world a better place. However, his facility was broken into by foreigners and he managed to get shot again, this time not being so lucky. Then he found out he wasn't so lucky and gifted thanks to the lord in heaven, but the one of Hell.

In Hell, things weren't nearly as bad as advertised, but regardless of this fact and the fact his religion turned out to be the "wrong" one, he became repentant in death and regretted things he had done in life. He came to very much dislike violence and bloodshed, and valued the right to life of all people. While he does view Lucen for basically being Satan and feels conflicted about being on his side, Walter holds loyalty to Lucen as Yahovim wants to kill everyone, whereas Lucen wants to save mankind and let them be free. Walter wishes to help everyone, so helping save the world, mankind, and the rights of all is not an offer to consider, but an obligation. He was careful about easing his potential host into such a startling revelation that the world is not as things are described and how a great calamity is approaching, as it would be scarring for many teenagers to learn such things. Once he had given all the information he had, he granted his offer, unsure if the child would accept or not. Walter fully understood if the young one would not accept, as it was an impossible task with grave consequences. Walter was rather shocked that the boy barely let him finish his offer before accepting. Him now being chained to an annoying egomaniac is and will be a terrible experience, but this IS after Walter got sent to Hell, so he expects his eternal punishment as not exactly being a joyride.

Holy shiitake mushrooms, Batman, that's long for having been written at such a late time.

Accepted.

He is notable for moving and speaking very arythmically, which tends to put people ill at ease.

Usually rather calm and kind in a quiet, polite, non-committal way; however, he is very emotionally unstable and prone to snap almost randomly into bouts of murderous violence during which his personality changes very much, becoming completely cold and aloof. He tends to think of extreme violence as a means as valid as any other to reach an adapted goal, and has no second thoughts about murder (though he dislikes torture). A committed moral nihilist, he thinks that no moral system – even that of Yahovim – has any value, that only logic and facts are worthy of respect and that human actions are ultimately dictated by either instinct or whims; he scorns religion in general as an ideology that seeks to force its moral system on people without even trying to justify it. He can be extremely blunt and insensitive on philosophical and strategic issues. Very protective of Boali.


Extraordinarily proficient in close combat (he practices several martial arts diligently), he always carries on his person enough concealed weaponry for a platoon; he exercises on a daily basis – not only regular exercising but also things like yoga and gymnastics – and has impressive physical capabilities, including the ability to completely ignore almost any amount of pain; he has no feelings of fear or hesitation whatsoever (literally, it’s clinically impossible for him to be afraid); he works surprisingly well in a competent team, being able to predict competent teammates’ actions and needs and cooperate with them smoothly.


As a consequence of his personal philosophy, he is extremely whimsical and doesn’t really have a good motivation for fighting alongside the others, having accepted the contract out of sheer boredom and because it sounded interesting. His psychological instability tends to be jarring or outright dangerous to others, making teamwork difficult until everyone got accustomed to him; it can also land him in trouble for overreacting to benign issues. Given the amount of weaponry he has on him at all times, being frisked by any law enforcement agency would land in him deep trouble. His bluntness towards others’ feelings and lack of respect for their personal beliefs can lead to frictions within any group.
He is also completely incompetent in the use of modern technology, being barely able to use the Internet. He cannot drive.


Clarence was born in war-torn Eastern Europe under the name Aleks. His mother died giving birth to him; he grew up under his father’s regular drunken abuse, in a slum where violence was not a social issue but everyone’s default state of being. At the age of nine, he killed his father in self-defense and was sent to a religiously-funded orphanage, which turned out to be a recruitment ground for child soldiers. He was soon taken in by one of the many small armies tearing the area apart and trained in infiltration and close combat, with the aim of making him part of a specialized urban warfare unit.
This continued until he was thirteen, at which point he was wounded in battle and abandoned on the spot by his retreating allies. Doctors from an international organization, the McAllister couple, found him dying and saved his life; they went on to bring him with them to the USA and officially adopt him, giving him his new name.
He then proceeded to live as normally as he could until he started having strange dreams about God destroying the world and his help being required. His foster parents had been killed when he was seventeen by Islamist radicals in Afghanistan, so he didn’t have a reason to stay safe anymore, and he was bored out of his mind, so he accepted the deal.


Demon Familiar Name: Boali

Demon Gender: female

Demon Age at Death: 7

Demon Appearance:http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.soultravelmultimedia.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F03%2FAfricans-151.png&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.soultravelmultimedia.com%2F2012%2F05%2F04%2Fthe-beautiful-people-of-africa-130-gorgeous-photos%2F&h=449&w=638&tbnid=ayI7b6gV9n4PJM%3A&zoom=1&docid=-6zgkgHgJvo9JM&hl=en&ei=iuiiU7yGFKTJ0AW534DQAQ&tbm=isch&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=994&page=1&start=0&ndsp=22&ved=0CC0QrQMwAg
She has lost her left foot; it is replaced by a wooden prosthetic, but she still cannot walk well.

Generally quiet and very shy, she is actually bright and affectionate once you get to know her. She looks up to Clarence as both a father and a brother figure, is very possessive of him and is usually found clinging to him (often in strange postures): she has lost a foot to the landmine that claimed her life, and therefore cannot easily walk unassisted. The reason why her foot did not grow back in Hell is unclear; the landmine, an artisanal model, might have contained shards of a relic or some other holy element (probably unbeknownst to its maker). Boali is unusually intelligent and cultured for her age, having spent most of her time in Hell reading (after learning how to do it); she also isn’t very sensitive to fear, having absolute confidence in Clarence’s ability to protect her. She is the only person who can control Clarence during his bouts of insanity. She loves manga and anime, and often makes references to them in her (surprisingly snarky) humor.


Banshee: Boali can create an approximately anthropomorphic (though faceless, clawed and overly tall, thin and lanky) being that is a concentration of the demonic power she infused in Clarence: this being can consume magic (including holy magic) by touching it, sense magic and manipulate it like a physical object, transmit data to Boali, communicate telepathically as a proxy for Boali and is much more mobile than a human, being able to jump extreme distances and stick to walls, ceilings and such. As of now, only one banshee can be created and controlled at a time; if it is destroyed, it can be created again instantly. The banshee can also regenerate from magical damage at the same speed as Clarence regenerates from mundane damage.
Boali is also a bit unusual in her default powers: she doesn’t boost Clarence’s physical power very much, but enhances his regenerative abilities tremendously.


The banshee has several weaknesses. Firstly, it is a purely magical being, and therefore cannot influence mundane matter. Secondly, its magic consumption is limited: it can overload and be destroyed (as of now, one negligent attack by an archangel would obliterate it). It can presently only be controlled and maintained as long as it isn’t cut off from Boali by anything denser than rain; if such a thing happens, the banshee is destroyed. All the sensations of the banshee are transmitted back to Boali, including pain, which can be difficult to handle. The banshee disintegrates over time, and cannot be maintained (as of now) for over half an hour. It is physically weak, being unable to manipulate large amounts of magic.
The power’s greatest weakness, however, is that it mobilizes all of Boali’s power: therefore, while the banshee is active, Clarence loses his contractor powers entirely. They come back to him instantly when the banshee is destroyed.
Boali herself is physically very weak, and indeed unable to move correctly. In combat, she typically remains hidden within Clarence.


There isn’t much to say. Boali was born in Sahel while a civil war was, as usual, raging. She was a child of rape, and her mother tended to neglect her; her father (that is, her mother’s husband) was killed in battle when Boali was barely two months old. When she was seven, she stepped on a landmine and died. Her dream was to become a doctor.

Elemental being creation is one of the powers used by higher demons. So, if you could come up with a different power for now, I'll accept this.

If you reread the introduction on Demons and Hell, I wrote that Demons are either Nephilim (read the intro on that, though they are a form of Angel Spawn), or they were humans that sold their souls to Lucen through the signing of a blood contract. Also, Hell is just like Earth, its not a place where captive souls are tortured by demons. Basically, its a continuation of your previous life, with relatively few changes.

Yep, that's what I get for writing this after a couple days of not reading :P
Now I'm having a complete block as to how to write it. I have the idea, just no way to put into words quite yet.


You can just erase the bio and work on it while we continue in the rp. The demon bio doesn't need to be finished to join.
A she/her who misses being creative.
I like sticks. Peck pick.
