Appearance:
He stands at five feet and ten inches tall with pale blue eyes and dark auburn hair. He has a scar in the shape of an "X" over his heart from when he died as a human.
Name: Kai Silas
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Weapon: Longsword
Race: Reincarnated devil, formerly human
Rank: 5 Pawns
Familiar: A spell wisp
Skills: Well balanced physically and magically, Silas boasts a mental sharpness that surpasses those of many that he meets, but by no means all of them. However, he lacks common sense to a varying extent. He is a trained swordsman, with an uncanny ability to manipulate or trick people into doing what he needs.
Sacred Gear: Balance Dragon Gear/Telos Karma Gear- This Sacred Gear confers a variety of skills upon its bearer, such as summoning draconic swords and armor, but also grants a proportionally equal enhancement. As a result, improvements in one area result in all areas physically to keep his traits physically balanced, but it is fairly hard to improve any physical trait as a result when not at a Rook promotion. The same applies when referring to magical skills. When inactive, it appears as a ring on his right ring finger. When active it appears as a gauntlet until an armor transformation is made. The Grey Dragon, Tharanuil, resides within this Sacred Gear. When in its Limit Break, awareness is heightened at the cost of energy and pain, making it difficult to maintain the Limit Break form without high stamina and pain tolerance. The Limit Break Form will dissipate when the wielder either deactivated it or passes out.
Magic: The Balance Dragon Gear confers a variety of magics, from destruction to restoration. He has pursued two in particular. Silas is an adept at conjuration, evening the numbers on the battlefield since he is the only Pawn present in his Peerage. Otherwise he is advanced at healing, which is primarily used on himself.
Strengths:
- Silas was born with a photographic memory, and as a result he forgets little. This come in handy in combat for analysis of his enemies both in and out of combat.
- Due to a large pool of reading, Silas has an adept level of military knowledge and tactics. He, however, lacks the practical experience.
- Having pursued fencing from a young age, Silas studied the way of the sword for years. He is an adept at wielding sabers and longswords, still striving to become stronger with other blades.
- Silas is a quick study and will do whatever he can to improve. This behavior causes him to take on more than he can handle on occasion.
-Has an enormous vocabulary, allowing for linguistic superiority.
Weaknesses:
- Because of his self-image, Silas doesn't think well of himself in correlation to others.
- Silas chooses to operate more on logic than emotion, and his emotions really only show though when he's upholding his personal set of morals.
- Because of the various deaths he was involved in during his childhood, he has constant night terrors but does not have thanatophobia. As a result, he forces himself to operate himself on as little sleep as possible, developing artificial insomnia.
-He is not a "people person," often choosing to stay by his lonesome.
-His extensive vocabulary can often to lead to misunderstandings.
Personality: Silas hugs the shadows and observes others, rarely speaking with anyone unless it's for information or to convince them to do something for him. Operating primarily on logic, he is cold and typically calculative. Although he has no particular displays of emotion, he still has them but merely denies them constantly. When he does show emotion, it is usually anger, sorrow, or hatred.
History: Kai Silas is half-American, with his father deceased a major of the United States Air Force. His father was a Japanese immigrant and his mother was a full American, and a result he received his first name from his grandfather, an American who served in World War II. Growing up, he traveled across the world until he was ten years old, traveling with two younger twin sisters and his parents. When he was ten they became residents in Japan after his father signed an eight year contract for his new base assignment. As he grew up he was extremely bookish, but managed to find a large group of friends no matter where he went. That changed on one faithful night. Blood was everywhere as a little boy's tears hovered over five bodies. He knew four. On his tenth birthday, shortly after his family finished settling in Japan, his family was visiting some of the ancient Shinto shrines and temples he had always wanted to see that morning. It was shortly before lunch that his father was mugged and shot between the eyes in an empty parking lot before breaking into the car and attempting to kill his female relatives. He failed at first, but succeed after they tried to escape. The boy ran to his father's corpse, since he was closest in proximity to that body, and tried to shove him awake to no avail. Seeing the mugger point his gun at him, he scrambled for his father's holstered pistol, stick stuck on his belt underneath his coat. Being grazed by various bullets, he eventually retrieved the pistol and, by sheer luck, killed the criminal after firing three bullets. The authorities came shortly after and escorted him to the military base where he was questioned and given the attention he needed, reluctantly telling him his family wasn't coming back. They also gave him a gift-wrapped box that was fastened with a red bow and had blood splattered on it, the parcel having been originally hidden away in his mother's purse to give to him later. He's kept it safe and refused to open it, keeping it next to a small shrine dedicated to his family. It was decided that he would receive a stipend for the next ten years, consisting of ten times his father's promised annual salary to be delivered to a managed bank account in Silas' name from which he could withdraw money and receive deposits. After reaching eighteen he would be granted full control of the bank account. He was also given a two-bedroom condo to live in with all finances paid for by the military until he reached eighteen. He has lived in that Yatsushiro condo since then, attending local schools though growing attached to no one and losing most traces of emotion. He eventually used his bank account for investments, buying up stocks of various corporations to make large profits. One day in freshman year he received a mysterious "wish card" from a local vendor, only to be assaulted later that night with his heart pierced by two blades. He simply wished to live, and as a result he was reincarnated as a demon serving the Nightblood House. He now attends university in his human form, and has served the Black House for four years.
Other: Silas treasures the unopened gift unlike anything else. He won't even touch it, though if someone develops a mutual friendship with him he may let them examine it. Otherwise he'll gladly allow any of the other Pieces to stay with him if they need to, regardless of their relationship.

Aster possess no Mutated Pieces so you'll have to change the pawn count.
I'll allow your character to have genius level intellect but not blow for blow remembering everything it seems a bit excessive in my opinion.
Judging by your bio I'm not entirely sure when exactly Aster recuited him was it recently or has he been with him for years? Aster has been traveling around the world in order to increase his power and his knowledge of his devil powers as well as gain allies.
I don't see anything wrong with the sacred gear so I'll allow it assuming no one else sees a problem with it.

Alright in the interest of letting others join the roleplay if they wish I can't let you have all the pawns. You're character is a strong one so he deserves at least three or four but all of Aster's pawns aren't up for grabs for one character. Gremory gave all her pawns to Issei because he was REALLY special because he had the legendary red with him.

@VanceXentan Hence why I used mutation pieces to begin with. Regardless, tuned it down to five pawns.

Yes of which Aster has none. Those pieces are REALLY rare and Aster just started his house back up from scratch. His only real advantage being his family descends from a long line of magicians which do greatly help out his own devil powers. Other than that he's amazingly lucky to have recruited the people he has so far. I'll allow the five pieces if only because I don't want to argue over one pawn piece and I'll accept the character. I believe the link for the IC is on page 1 or 2. I'll move the link to the front page sometime today.

@Iroh
Please save that fight for later. Ivan just moved back home and he's already fought to save your main character once today. I didn't expect to have this much action at the start of this roleplay and i'm still trying to think of ways for Aster to keep moving without having to alert Gremory or any of the other houses to his intentions. Besides would Nexus really risk chasing the boy literally an hour or so later knowing Nightblood has agents walking around? It seems like a really brazen move and really petty because he could risk pissing off yet another house.

@AceSorcerer I don't believe we're using canon characters in this story. I don't mind using them but I don't think any of the others here especially want them in as such I don't believe Issei exists in this timeline.

Alright I guess I can do that. I didn't suspect I'd be running out of pieces so quickly.
Also has anyone here ever run into that one guy who's way too protective of his story content and tends to drone on about it defensively even after you've tried to make it clear you're not interested? Ran into one at school today I kept trying to say 'look the story you're making isn't my cup of tea' and he just kept dragging on the conversation.
I ran into that one guy today and it was really frustrating because I was trying to make it clear nicely that I didn't really get his story, I didn't understand the powers their characters had, and I just didn't really want to keep on with the conversation.

Think it'd be okay if I had a power from another anime, just reformat it to be able to be used here, without it being overpowered?

Depends on the power. I've been hoping to keep out catholic church experiments due to the already high tensions, and suddenly escalated tensions, with the church. Kiba and others have had those abilities. On the other end most devils has access to elemental spells some more than others.
Also it's worth mentioning the knight would have to be a new devil/devil with no house and be introduced into the rp. Correct me if I'm wrong but Aster has already stated he hasn't found another knight.
