    Soul Eater - Malleus Maleficarum Redux [OOC]

    Okay, let's try this again!

    The Malleus Maleficarum, meaning "Hammer of the Witches" in Latin, was the title of a fifteenth century treatise on the prosecution of witches. The main purpose of the Malleus was to attempt to systematically refute arguments claiming that witchcraft does not exist, discredit those who expressed skepticism about its reality, and to educate magistrates on the procedures that could find them out and convict them. The treatise proved popular, and became the de facto handbook for the persecution and murder of women accused of witchcraft across Europe in in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.


    Plot
    Many, many years after the fall of the Kishin Asura, all was at peace... for a while anyway. Whatever madness possessed them to do it, none know, but one fateful day 13 years ago, a large group of Witches attacked the DWMA. The school survived, but the casualties were high. Thus, Lord Death issued a command to all senior Meisters, Weapons, and Death Scythes: the immediate, complete annihilation of all Witches. It was during the Witch Mass that Meister-Weapon pairs numbering in the thousands ambushed all the Witches attending their 'sacred' gathering, with the ones that escaped or didn't attend being easily mopped up at a later date by specially trained hunting squads. All in all, the operation was a huge success, with very few casualties on the DWMA's side. However, while the DWMA seemed to have eradicated every single one of them, legend has it that a group has survived, preparing to take vengeance...

    Rules
    1. Aragorn and I are your GMs, our word is law.
    2. No Godmodding, Metagaming, or Powerplaying... unless the person you're doing it to publicly and blatantly allows you to.
    3. Any and all Romance is kept to PG-13, if you want to 'hoist the shaft' then please, imply it or move to PMs.
    4. Don't post irrelevant OOC in the IC, it irritates me.
    5. Don't kill people unless the character's owner gives the clear and/or quits.
    6. You will make your own character pair, I find that this makes it easier if your partner drops out, you want to quit, or if you're stuck without a partner when the IC starts. This rule is redacted.
    7. Look at your odds carefully. Take everything into account before you go and post how badass your character is and how badassly they're going to beat their opponent. People have limits, your character is not able to win all the time, keep it in mind.
    8. Contact one of your GMs if you have concerns or questions or you want to play a villain or something.
    9. Jesus Christ people, I don't know why I have to put this, but be creative. Seriously, scythes and swords are not the only options.
    10. Read these rules, and watch for additions.

    Just reposting these.



    Name: Xxagamorthas (za-ga-more-thas)

    Age: About 30 or so

    Gender: Female

    Animal/Spell Theme: Raven/Necromantic (mainly raising the dead and draining life, but other necromantic abilities are present, if a bit weaker)

    Appearance:

    Position: Archmage

    Personality: Xxagamorthas is one of two twin siblings, a brother and a sister. She represents evil, and does it well. No witch, short of Medusa herself, has proven to be more evil than she is. Xxaga has no regard for human life, not even her own. She does not fear death or injury of any kind, focusing on torturing and slowly and painfully killing her victims. She revels in seeing others suffer, and adds insult to injury by raising their corpses as minions to fight for her. However, she is a quiet woman, not really speaking much even when spoken to. Much of her communication is through body language and her eyes, which seem to convey her emotions like a copper wire conducts electricity.

    Bio: Xxagamorthas and her brother, Skizzerkiin, were born in Death City to a simple family. However, Xxaga proved to be quite a handful, because she kept harming others. And evidence implied that she actually enjoyed it, too, especially when they screamed. Her parents kept scolding her, asking why she couldn't be more like her brother. Things grew even worse as a talent for necromancy became apparent, which, due to interrupting the balance of the world, was strictly illegal. She was facing execution for such a crime, combined with the fact that true magic without the assistance of a weapon was strictly forbidden (people don't want to risk someone becoming a witch or a warlock), but the witches had caught wind of her abilities. Through an operation that risked exposing them, the Hounds of Hecate managed to smuggle her out of the city, but not without slaughtering her family. Xxaga enjoyed watching them suffer for the way they had treated her, and knew she was a perfect fit for the role of a witch.

    The Hounds soon found that Xxaga's natural magic ability was already quite powerful, and could likely become extremely powerful given the proper training and refinement. And become extremely powerful she did, allowing her to gain the position of Archmage among the Hounds, being the most adept magic user. She was still below Hecate herself by quite a bit, but the leader of the Hounds didn't usually dismiss what little advice Xxaga gives on matters. Xxaga commanded a respect among the others, despite not being part of the Hounds for quite as long as some of the more senior members. However, she does not want this respect, nor does she care about her position. All she wants is to make others suffer for the crimes Death City committed against her.


    Meister's Name: Skizzerkiin (ski-zer-kin)

    Weapon's Name: Demon

    Meister's Age: About 30 or so

    Weapon's Age: About 30 or so

    Appearance of Meister:

    Human Appearance of Weapon:

    Weapon Appearance of Weapon:

    Soul Resonance Appearance of Weapon: The one on top in the previous picture.


    Meister Position: Independent

    Weapon Position: Death Scythe

    Meister Personality: Where Skizzerkiin's sister Xxagamorthas is pure evil, Skizzerkiin is exactly the opposite. He is seemingly the very embodiment of virtue, loathing those who would take joy in seeing others suffer. He refuses to kill, believing killing would bring him down to the level of the evil ones he fights to eliminate. At least, that's what he tells people and himself. In all actuality, this refusal to kill originates from a sort of paranoia regarding Xxaga's necromancy. He had no idea how powerful she is or what her range for raising the dead was, and didn't want people he killed standing and attacking him again. Whatever the case, Skizzerkiin is working to find a resonation technique that will completely cripple the intended target, rendering them comatose or unable to use any abilities related to the soul ever again, thus rendering them incapacitated for long enough that he can capture them. His work is resultless so far, though, with little hope of completion. He is bound and determined to develop this ultimate ability, though, and continues experimenting with different resonances and motions to find it. As far as he's concerned, the technique is out there, just waiting for him to claim it. He also tends to be boisterous and talkative, which sometimes annoys other Meisters. However, he sometimes spends days not talking much, and he is unsure what causes these silent periods. More than anything, he despises his sister, Xxagamorthas. None have earned Skizzerkiin's hate than Xxaga has. Xxaga is the only individual that Skizzerkiin would not hesitate to kill, for such a thing would be a moral deed. To rid the world of such scum as Xxaga couldn't be anything other than righteous... or could it?

    Weapon Personality: Where Xxaga is pure evil and Skizzerkiin is pure virtue, Demon stands directly between them. He is neutral in alignment, with qualities of both karmic alignments. He doesn't exactly agree with Skizzerkiin's no-kill policy, but respects it. Given the chance and the need, he will kill. However, unlike Xxaga, he will only kill when necessary. He doesn't enjoy it, but he sees it as a means to an end, not an atrocity. He's fairly quiet, though not to the degree that Xxaga is. You could definitely say Demon is the in-between for Skizzerkiin and Xxaga. However, when Skizzerkiin goes into one of his silent spells, the weapon worries about his Meister.

    Bio: Like his twin sister, Xxagamorthas, Skizzerkiin was born to a simple family in Death City. Unlike her, he was the pride of his parents. Whenever they got the chance, they made sure people knew that he was their son, and he took pride in the fact. He absolutely adored his parents, and swore to protect them in any way he could. And when it was found that he was able to pair with a weapon, he didn't hesitate to apply at the Death Weapon Meister Academy in the exact center of Death City. He felt the DWMA could aid him in becoming more powerful and better able to protect his parents. However, it proved to not be enough. He was sent to investigate suspicious magical activity, and it proved to be the sister he loathed. He found her standing over a corpse, and, upon seeing him, a black flame that, when looked through, showed the bones in his sister's hands engulfed her hands and the corpse, and the corpse rose and shuffled towards him. Skizzerkiin was horrified and used Demon to decapitate it, then literally dragged his sister to the DWMA and personally escorted her to Death's office for him to decide her fate. As he suspected, Lord Death sentence her to death. The sentence never did get carried out, because a group of people infiltrated the city and captured her, stopping at their home. Skizzerkiin, fearing for his parents' safety, arrived too late and found Xxaga already reanimating their corpses, which shuffled after him. Horrified beyond any level he thought was possible, he had no choice but to kill them. While he was fighting his dead parents, Xxaga managed to escape, and he hasn't seen her since. Ashamed, he swore to train harder than ever, determined to make sure his sister didn't kill any more innocent people. Out of caution and a little paranoia, covered up by moral uprightness, he refused to kill. He had no idea how powerful a magic user Xxaga was or what kind of range she had, and, knowing it sounded absolutely dumb, covered it up with saying it was out of morality. Eventually, he convinced himself it was true, but the paranoia was still present, deep within his mind.

    Meister's Name:
    Vivian Lafayette
    Weapon's Name:
    Máel Máedóc
    Meister's Age:
    24
    Weapon's Age:
    29; Technical existence dates back to pre-history
    Appearance of Meister:

    Human Appearance of Weapon:

    Weapon Appearance of Weapon:

    Soul Resonance Appearance of Weapon:

    Special Meister Abilities:
    Siege Buster: Barriers and shields, be they of soul, magic, or other origin, are of little help against a sturdy blow by Vivian with Máel.
    Soul Presence: Both Vivian's and Máel's souls attract the attention of those sensitive to the presence of souls and can give general impressions of emotion or will.
    Soul Perception: The ability to sense and see souls.
    Wild Soul: Máel is very resistant to mind control or being forced to do things against his will.


    Meister Position: Librarian


    Weapon Position: "Librarian's Assistant"


    Meister Personality:
    A semi-retired adventurous archaeologist, there is no task too daunting, no odyssey to perilous for Doctor Vivian Lafayette. Often stern with students, Dr. Lafayette is quick to strike down cowardice and shows great disdain for manipulative beings. As much as she enjoys her adventure, even more enjoyable is a good book in a comfy chair.




    Weapon Personality:
    Wild and free, an animal spirit in human form, Máel has little care in the world for organization or structure and no time to be subtle. Suffering from a major language barrier, Máel often communicates through his Soul Presence or animated displays with his entire body. Fiercely protective of Dr. Lafayette, the fiery red temper of the "Librarian's assistant" and unparalleled bravery shows through in the heat of battle and day-to-day life.




    Bio:
    In her adventuring days, Dr. Lafayette used her family's fortune to explore every nook and cranny of the world. From the tallest mountain to the lowest trench, no stone went unturned and no cavern left unexplored. She collected many great and mysterious artifacts along the way, both of great historical and magical importance. Of all her journeys, one to the northern isles of Scotland turned up her most fascinating find.


    An ancient claymore encased in glacial ice, frozen in time. Upon nearing, the Doctor was shocked to sense a wavelength. Before anyone in the exploration team could react, the ice burst as the ancient sword transformed into a young (naked) warrior, still with warpaint smeared onto his body. After much confusion and hysteria from the young Celt, who had been locked in his icy prison for well over two thousand years, and the archaeology team, being confronted by a nude blast-from-the-bast, Vivian was able to mediate between the group by way of her Soul Presence, an ability the warrior coincidentally shared.


    Máel Máedóc was his name and that was all he could remember. His tribe and original meister were all long-gone, as was his culture. The last bastion of an ancient heritage, it was only by Dr. Vivian Lafayette's morale coaching (and providing of suitable clothing) that Máel did not suffer culture shock. Soon after, the Celt proved his desire to defend his freer after the group was attacked by a Druid.


    Later, Vivian became the librarian of the Academy, swelling the shelves with many of her own literary works on history and magic, as well as decorating the library with many of her own treasures. With the help of her now weapon, Máel, who either entertains the good kids or intimidates the bad ones, Vivian is able to run a pretty tight ship.

    Meister's Name: Goroshi Tatsumi
    Meister's Age: 17
    Appearance of Meister:

    Special Meister Abilities:
    Absolute Territory - A form of Soul Menace, Goroshi is able to increase the power of his soul for a short time, and enables him to create a barrier around him that acts similarly to a Soul Menace attack; anyone touching the barrier could get a power and nasty strike directly to the soul. However, it saps his energy quickly, and can never use it for more then seconds at a time.
    Soul Eater - At the cost of constantly draining his own health, Goroshi can sap life energy from others through physical contact.
    Meister Position: Student
    Meister Personality: Goroshi is an abrasive, hot blooded youth, but he's an honest kid who does the best he can. Subtly isn't really his thing, and has to be convinced to not charge head-on into death itself.
    Bio: Goroshi grew up in a nice home, but he was an adopted child. He never knew his real parents, through it's suspected that they were a Meister and Weapon pair. His adopted parents were an old couple, one who was a retired business man and his wife, who did some sort of writing. But what he didn't know was that the two adopted parents were also part of a much more devious organization; one which may or may nor have caused the death of his own parents. Either way, his adopted family raised him well; they made sure he never went hungry, but also took precautions to not coddle him. Growing up, he started to develop a sense of justice, and ever since preschool he was prone to butting heads with other children over things like bullying and stupidity. He made his share of friends, but he had many enemies. Everyone saw him as a spoiled rich kid who didn't know or understand the "hardships" of their lives.

    When he was about ten, he started showing signs. Signs that he wasn't a normal kid. It first started when it seemed like he kept shocking everyone he touched. It was later discovered that he had latent abilities with a technique known as Soul Menace. It was then that his parents enrolled him into Shibusen, and started him off early. It was also there that he made a new enemy; Restu Hidetora.

    Meister's Name: Restu Hidetora
    Meister's Age: 17
    Appearance of Meister:

    Special Meister Abilities:
    Soul Projection - A variant of Soul Protection, instead of hiding his soul, Restu can project Illusions using his wavelength. This distorts both normal vision and Soul Perception. However extended use can also affect Restu if he doesn't concentrate on what is real and what is fake.
    Advance Soul Perception - A more powerful form of a regular Soul Perception. Capable of detecting witches through their soul projection.
    Scry - With proper preparation, Restu can scan the world for a specific person, and can see a path to find them.
    Meister Position: Student
    Meister Personality: Restu's a cunning and flirty, but is loyal to his friends and merciful to his enemies. However, sometimes he's too tempted to try out the dark side in an inane idea that maybe it's not as bad as people make it out o be.
    Bio: Restu's an orphan. His parents were a pair of musicians, loving folks, but being that they were homeless too, child services had to taken him away. He never saw his folks again, and it was hard for him to find them. But the things they taught him he kept with; at the orphanage he lived at, he entertained the children with singing, playing instruments, and so forth. But as he got older, he needed new tricks. People just didn't want to hear him sing anymore. So every night, when everyone was asleep, Restu left to the city, and tried to get a job there. At first, he was just a advertiser, yelling to people about business and stuff. But then he dabbled in thievery, picking pockets and stealing small stuff. He joined up with a gang, where he acted as the "face", the guy who did all the talking. Restu never thought he was a good talker, but people listened, so he kept up with it. Eventually, he started seeing strange things. He started seeing people's souls. Freaked him out at first. When he told his friends about it, they used it to stage more heist, bigger heists. But eventually he was caught, but to his luck it was by some Meisters from Shibusen. When they discovered his ability, they took him to Shibusen.

    Life was different at Shibusen. Restu didn't need to steal or lie to get things anymore. He had a steady job, though old habits died hard. And during one job, one guy took it too personal. Ever since then, Restu and him had some bad blood between the two. This guy was Goroshi Tatsumi.
