(Draconic Armor, left. Casual clothing, right.) He stands at five feet and nine 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: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Reincarnated devil, formerly human

Rank: Pawn (can occupy up to eight spaces)

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 and finds himself, to a fair extent, unknowing and uniformed regarding the devil world other than what he can assume, infer, or have heard from other devils and the occassional stray exorcist the Club encounters. He is a trained swordsman, with an uncanny ability to manipulate or trick people into doing what he needs. Despite being a skilled marksman, he has an aversion to guns and other firearms.

Sacred Gear: Balance Dragon 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. 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.

Magic: The Balance Dragon Gear confers a variety of magics, but they cannot be accessed all at once. Instead, the magic he has available to him depending on if he is Promoted at all during combat. Regardless of his Promotion, he can still use the magic accessible to him at Pawn rank.
Pawn: As a Pawn, Silas can summon a familiar and perform transmutation, the latter requiring some of his blood and energy.
Rook: As a Rook, Silas gains the ability to summon multiple familiars to take up empty Pawn spaces as well as distribute shield spells so that he and his allies can take more damage.
Knight: As a Knight, Silas gains control over fire, ice, and lightning for destruction magic. This magic will take longer to cast depending on how powerful the spell is.
Bishop: As a Bishop, Silas gains the magic ability to heal his allies and buff their attributes to make them stronger.
Queen: As a Queen, Silas can heal his allies, use fire magic, summon two familiars, and give temporary enhancements to his allies.

Strengths:
- Silas was born with eidetic (perfect) memory, and as a result he forgets nothing. This come in handy in combat for analysis of his enemies.
- Trained as a tactician by his father, Silas has a massive pool of military knowledge and knows how to turn the tide of any combat situation.
- Having pursued fencing from a young age, Silas studied the way of the sword for years with the goal of someday competing in the Olympics. He is an adept at a variety of blades, specializing in sabers and longswords.
- 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.
Weaknesses:
- Because of his abilities, Silas can be cocky at times and become overconfident. He keeps it to himself most of the time, but will share it with others when it gets out of check.
- 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.


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 all of his family weren'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 Grimmond House.

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.

As I said in the PMs, he is too perfect. Seriously dude.
For one thing, he is 17. Why is he a skilled marksman AND swordsman. I see you took out the mystic. That is good. But then, if you took that out, how is he capable of using magic. And why does promotion grant him other abilities. All a promotion would do is give him the traits of the piece. Strength and defense for Rook. He can take hits and stuff. Speed for knight. He will be fast. Larger magic reserve for Bishop. And a balance for queen. But even then, he has only been a reincarnated devil for what? 2 or so years? Yeah he could probably make every promotion except queen. Keep in mind things have not been too eventful. Mostly little things have occurred. The RP will be where shit starts to hit the fan.

I'm going to need you to drop his sword skills. Make him advanced in knowledge as far as two types of swords go. He may also have BASIC, and I do mean basic, knowledge of two other types as well. That is a total of four. He is a devil. He has a LONG time to further his knowledge.

He doesn't need to the marksmanship. It's just not needed.

He shouldn't have learned any magic until after he was reincarnated. But given the time frame of his turning I would say he should have about 1 advanced type of magic and 1 with adept level ability. Nothing else. Again if he wants to learn more, sure. Later on though. You need to give him room to grow as a character.

Now as far as his intelligence goes. You brought him down a bit. I can see that. But tactically, he likely wouldn't be very skilled. You can read and learn some things, but it isn't really equivalent to actual experience. Of which I'm assuming he won't have TOO much of. But still, soldier/adept combatant level tactical knowledge should suit him fine. Most tactical choices will be made by the King (me) anyway. Unless he's in the heat of battle and separated. But that's a whole other field of combat prowess.

Clever, witty, intelligent. He's fine in these regards for a human. But really. It's not THAT impressive when compared to various devils. lol XD

Moving on!

Chibi:
midnight_blue_cubby_by_mbpanther-d3ihfl3.png

Name: Artimess Dreamstream
Age: 28
Gender: Any (changes Gender depending on Mood) Or at command.
Race: Panther Demon
Ranking: 2nd Bishop.

Skills:
-Sneaking/Stealth Mastery: Artimess is silent like a whisper, as graceful as the wind, and with cushioned paws Artimess hardly make a sound at all. And without excellent skills at detection someone simply won't detect Arimess at all without extreme luck.

-Advanced six senses: Artimess being a Panther demon have very adapted senses even beyond that of its regular non demonic version. This make Artimess great at tracking for example, and is very hard to sneak up upon as Artimess usually know about someone's presence long before they come close.

- Primal close combat: Artimes simply fight like an animal if pushed into close combat with instincts and claws taking charge rather than rational thinking. -Sneak, Pounce, Bite/stab-

-Have taken the skills of napping to where its simply a Mastery and art of it own.

Sacred Gear: Carnwennan a Dagger like SG that can shroud Artimess in darkness even during beaming daylight.
Magic: Form Changing, Artimess may change form and gender between Animal, Humanoid and a Hybrid forms. However S-he is incapable of completely concealing the animal side with magic.

Strengths:

-Physically stronger than any normal panther and much faster. His speed can match that of a Knight and his agility is top notch.

-Actually a lot more clever than what s-he make out to be.



Weaknesses:
-Skittish: Due to having high senses and usually being quite quick at detecting things new/Unexpected things that come as a surprise usually can scare Artimes.

-Not especially attentive: If something does not strike Artimess's interest s-he does simply not pay attention to it at all even if it could be important.

-No Fight lets flight: If Artimess is backed into corner or find hen-self out of options Artimess will usually run away rather than to fight, this works for the better or worse depending on situation.

-Gluttonous; Artimes simply love food and can eat all of it... preferably as often as possibly.

-Best suited for sneak attacks or support.

Personality: Artimess nearly always say what is on hen's min no matter how inappropriate it might be at the time. S-he also likes sleeping and eating no matter how big surprise that is to everyone Artimess is very friendly, very cuddly and likes to purr and get all the attention of the world whenever s-he feel like it. Artimess also like to change napping spot to wherever s-he feel to so you never really know where to find hen exactly, but s-he's usually not too far away.

History: At some point Artimes was like everyone else born. However Artimes was not born as a normal panther and instead to a Devil lord that liked demonic beings... Yet Artimess lived a quite good life in service to the Devil, even thought his experiments one day would totally lead them into ruin. During a dire last stand against angels whom The Devil had angered, his master was slain and Artimess got mortally wounded. On the run and with nowhere to go, Artimess attempted like most beasts to slip into the darkness and lick his wounds. Yet the wounds from the holyu weapons was not easily mended, and eventually at the brink of death Artimess was found by Grimmond and reborn to a new master.

Other: {I may have missed something you would like to add. This would be about where you do it.}[/spoiler]

One Age. We're teenagers. But honestly, I can accept you being older, but with the appearance and mental capacity of a teen. I'm keeping us around the same age group to learn and grow together. Like even our queen has the appearance of a teen who'll be attending school with us.

Secondly, you HAVE to have a fully human form. Just a sort of magic to disguise yourself. Even if you don't, Tsumiki could make you look completely human. So yeah. Human form. Would not make you human. Just give you the appearance of one.

Third, You cannot have a sacred gear as a devil/demon. Reason being? Sacred gears were a gift from god to humans or something like that. Only a human (Issei or Kiba) and/or part human (Gasper), could possess one.

Also, this isn't something I think needs to be changed. But why double gender? I mean, I in the sister RP Aka has a character with a reason to split into both genders, but your character is simply one being that can turn to either or. Is it necessary? I mean, Aka's character in the other thread is a two headed beast. When it splits apart and transforms, it becomes two bodies, but is still essentially the same beings. So it is one "person", two bodies, one of each gender. This is not like that. So why both genders? If you don't mind me asking.

Done.
 
Changed the age a bit I guess xD.

Right, That would work for me xD.

Oooh I forgot xD... I change it to a normal dagger or something like a Demonic weapon xD...

On the Gender issue It's because it was a Fetish of his past master if you could call it that. xD
 
@AceSorcerer Okay I can see the changes have been made.
just two more things. Sorry I kind of forgot in my last post.
1) Does his sacred gear actually hold a dragon, or is it just a name?
2) Can you explain it, or give me an example of how it works? It is kind of confusing.

@Iatos I think your character is at a point I can accept.
Just going over it once more to make sure I didn't miss anything.
 
There is a dragon inside. Otherwise, let me put it this way... in Dungeons and Dragons you have multipliers that increase the base value to the total value for a skill. The idea is that each of his abilities has a different multiplier that, outside of Promotions, makes it equivalent to the highest base ability, which would have a .5 multiplier bonus. In mathematic terms, if his highest base ability was a 10, with the multiplier it'd be 15. If his lowest ability was a 1, its multiplier would make it a 15.

Okay dokay ^^

Okay so yeah. I'm accepting your character. You may post. Though, do make sure when in school s-he only utilizes one gender. People would freak out otherwise. Say it was a command from Tsumik or something... I don't care lol, but when in classes during the day and stuff, just one gender XD

Okay I think I'm going to need you to rework that ability. Otherwise, having to keep up with the stats and stuff is going to get annoying. Plus, we don't have an exact power scale for it to be utilized properly. Also, even if we did, I am not sure where he would be on said power scale (which we do not have).
 
It's a principle more than an actual stat system, just for the sake of balance. Otherwise it's stating that his physical abilities are equivalent to one another. I can merely make it so that base abilities are all modified by similar modifiers.

I suppose I can accept him as is. But I'll need to watch him closely and make sure. if we run into any problems I will deal with them properly.

I mean, the only way to properly understand and judge it would be seeing it in action.
And if it seems to be too much or too op, there are in RP ways of nerfing. Only if necessary of course.
 
If he needs to be nerfed, I'll modify it as we go along. For now I assume it would be a beta test to see how that would work.
