Work in Progress right here.
Name: Darius Vicks
Age: 23
Appearance:
Personality: This will be developed throughout the RP. However, just to give a little something, he is fairly laid-back, but very loyal to those he is close too. Though there are not that many as of now.
Weapons: Darius uses a series of enchanted charms which transform any item (or body part depending on the charm) and enhance the user's abilities. They activate by drawing on the magical energy and power of the user which also has an effect on how effective the charm's power is. Each charm that goes with the alteration of the human body also puts some sort of strain on the body. The level of power in the charm and the experience of the user also plays a key part in control and the side effects. Some may have no side effects, other's may have tremendous side effects.
1)
Right Arm of the Giant - An enhancement charm developed with defence and range in mind. This charm is made to be used on the right arm. It becomes a powerful shield capable of blocking nearly any attack within the power range of the user. It also enhances the user's strength greatly, but it is still not ideal for offense. This arm contains another ability. As it is essentially a shield using it in melee combat is somewhat iffy even with the strength boost. That is why the blast feature was added. The arm is able to accumulate and fire blasts of magical energy from the fist. This arm is best used to evade, protect and fire when possible. The toll this takes on the user's body is minimal. After extended use the user may feel a bit drained, but not out of commission. There is not much else. And little use takes nearly no toll whatsoever.
2)
Left Arm of the Devil - Unlike the Right arm made for defense, this left arm was made with Offensive power and speed in mind. It enhances the user's strength and speed immensely. It also has a special energy based ability as well. Though this unlike the right arm isn't something you shoot. The powerful special attack is used by grasping magical energy focused on the five fingers. Those who are struck by it are like sacrifices crucified and offered to the devil. The fingertips charge in the forms of five disks of crackling magical energy, and he forms a fist and punches his opponent. The blow, depending on the power of the user, is devastating, and upon contact, a huge skull shape may be gouged into the surface, if there is one, behind the target.This charm puts more of a strain on the user's body as it pushes past the offensive limits of said user. Prolonged use can cause exhaustion and temporary incapacitation afterwards.
3)
Devil Bringer - A charm designed after that of the Left Arm of the Devil. This charm transforms the user's arm into a physical manifestation of demonic power. It is incredibly difficult to control for someone untrained and causes a large amount of stress to the body. The strain goes almost to the point that prolonged use could leave the body in severe physical pain and may leave the user incapacitated for days or even weeks depending on how long it is left activated. This arm possesses superhuman strength, which it can also manifest through a larger, spectral arm. It is also capable of absorbing items of power and manifesting their power. In addition to the physical strain which may be bypassed with proper straining and experience, as the demonic power of this arm grows it begins to take a toll on the user's psyche.
4)
Flame King's Honor - This charm transforms the arm into a powerful weapon of destruction. Enhancing each physical ability of the user, this arm also gains power over several flames. The red flame of destruction which will burn nearly anything to ash and can only be extinguished by the will of the user. The white holy flame which will judge and destroy those deemed truly evil in the eyes of the user. The blue flame of illusion which traps the target in an endless loop of events in which they can not escape unless truthfully admitting defeat. These flames can only be extinguished when the target has given up completely. Otherwise, they will remain trapped forever. And finally, the Black flame of death. This flame traps the target in an illusion of their worst nightmares as it burns them away without a trace. The physical agony coupled by the mental trauma leaves the target helpless and forces them to long for death. This charm can seriously screw up an inexperience user who is not strong enough. On top of physical repercussions there is also the chance of time being shaved off their life if used for extended periods of time.
5) Blade Charms - There are various blade charms. The charms attach to any bladed item and transform them into powerful monster slaying swords. These are the weapons made for weaker members of the clan and take very little power to activate. The user also faces no physical damage once becoming adept with them. The three in Darius's possession are the
buster sword which enhances strength slightly, the
scythe which enhances the users speed and strength slightly, and the
chain sword which enhances speed slightly.
6) Gun Charms - There are various gun charms. The charms attach to weaker projectile items and transform them into powerful monster slaying guns. These are the weapons made for weaker members of the clan, like the blade charms, and take very little power to activate. The user also faces no physical damage once becoming adept with them. Darius is in possession one set of powerful demon slaying
pistols.
Abilities: Darius is skilled at the following:
- Close Quarters Combat - Darius is an expert combatant choosing to rely primarily on hand-to-hand combat. Focusing on this allows him to easier utilize his transformation charms as he primarily uses the arm transformations. However, should this not be enough or he is low on energy he is also a skilled fighter with various forms of bladed weapons. Remaining up close and personal is his preferred method of combat.
- Long Range Combat - While immensely less skilled in this field, as opposed to close range, Darius holds some pride in his ability to integrate long range into his fighting style for those opponents he can't afford to stay too close too, or will not be able to reach.
- Cooking - Darius is a skilled cook of supposed world class proportions.
- Hunting - Though not his best area of expertise, Darius is a somewhat capable hunter. Though maybe not in the usual or traditional sense.
- Physical Abilities - Due to enhancements made to him by his clan, Darius is gifted with strength, speed, agility, stamina, endurance, and other physical ability much greater than those of a normal human. It is possible that they border if not are super human, but that is more speculation as opposed to fact. He also continues to train his body more in order to better master his abilities and charms.
Backstory: When Darius was born he was a very weak child. Always sick or something along those lines. He had many problems. He seemed to practically be knocking on death's door most of his infant life. This was why his father had so eagerly volunteered for his son to be enhanced by the clan. You see, Darius's clan had a long history of using charms in order to transform or enhance weapons and fighters. However, somewhere down the line they'd begun experimenting with more powerful means of combating monsters. They turned to transforming not only weapons, but the human body. However, upon the first tests it was shown to be fairly difficult. Those who volunteered face severe physical repercussions. Some even died as a result of the testing. The clan thought that in order for the power to work the users would need more powerful bodies. It was decided that for proper data and results 3 infants, 3 adolescent children and three veteran hunters would be used. Thus, the it could be determined whether or not the procedure would work properly on various ages. Very few were willing to allow their children to undergo the enhancements. However, Darius's father volunteered his child much to the dismay of his mother. Still things went as his father wished in the end Darius was enhanced and raised to be a hunter. The procedure seemed to work very well on most of if not all the test subjects. Soon field testing would begin.The veteran hunters would apply the charms in combat, the adolescents would face minor monsters and the infants would grow until they reached an appropriate age for trains as data was taken based on the effects of the enhancements in their natural lives. As Darius grew up and began training his results were exceptional to say the least. He grew and became stronger and more skilled. He was even deemed worthy of going out into the field before the other's in his generation. This was a mistake. Training and actual combat were two different things. He made mistakes. Some of his group died and he overused one of his charms resulting in irreversible damage to one of his eyes. It took a few years but soon he would get himself back together with the help of his mother. Other's had sort of abandoned him. Even his father. But who needed them?! He was gonna be better than ever. He proved it too. Once he got back out their he worked harder than anyone else. Then when Alistair contacted his clan his father appealed for him to be sent. Whether Darius succeeded or failed didn't matter to his mother, so long as he returned alive. His father on the other hand would rather see him die if he failed. Great man don'tcha think?
