【Personality】

Alex tends to come off as, cold, harsh and distant, though this is not the real him. It is simply because the nature of what he is and the fear that some one would discover who he is. He is always at war with him self and his darker self. Because of this he tends to stay away from settlements. Large groups of humans make the demon in him stir and hunger. Though for the most part he has control, though he would rather not risk it by wandering into a large settlements. Sticking to the smallest outpost where he goes mostly un-noticed. Despite this he is a compassionate man, and cares greatly for humanity as a hole. His mother raising him with a sense of duty and honor. He will protect people with his life, and people he comes to be attached to he will sacrifice him self at a moments notice, believing that a human soul is worth more then his half human one.

【History】

Little is known of The Drifter. He is a legend, a myth. Stories shrouded in mystery, always heard from a friend's friend's cousin. He strikes fear in the hearts of many, and hope in others. Stories are always changing, in one tale he is the demon that terrorizes a town. In others he is the hero who vanishes before the dust settles. No one knows the truth, many question his very existence, believing him simply a story to scare children. Be good, or the Drifter will come and take you. Alex himself pays little attention to such tales. Most of them are exaggerated by they are also based in small truth. They do however server a purpose. It keeps people away from him, which keeps them safe from him.

In reality Alex was raised by his mother in a small out post. He never knew his father, growing up he was told that he died to protect him and his mother from bandits before he was born. He never questioned it, and never had any reason to. Most of town believed this as well. In away it was true. His father did die protecting his mother, only the situations were skewed. His father was really a demon, a higher echelon of demon that was able to resist his base urges, for the most part he cared little about humans, dead or alive. He would kill if need be but for the most part he simply left people alone. That was until he met Alex's mother, she was kind to him and helped him. He grew fond of her and eventually fell in love with her. Though other Demons found out about him, and soon moved against him. He fought against them giving Maria time to run, though he gave up his life in the process.

With out his father he was raised by his mother who always taught him to be brave, and to stand by others. If you have the power to protect someone you should always choose too was something that was ingrained into him. Growing up he was always told tales of heroes and villains, clashes of good vs evil. He loved the stories his mother would tell him, and as he got older he tried to live by them. He was always stronger then everybody, faster then them. He even had an affinity for magic, troubling though was it was dark magic. Despite this he vowed to only use his abilities to help others. Though life would not always go the way he planned.

As a young man he was allowed to go with the others in a trade caravan with his mother, as he was old enough to be a guard. Such things were always un-safe, but they had a large amount of guards. Alex soon felt odd though,if felt like he was surrounded. He didn't know what this odd feeling was. His question was soon answered. Demons emerged from the earth, surrounding the caravan. It was an ambush. Alex fought along side the people of his town, but it was a losing fight. Soon enough it was simply a fight for survival. People were dying all around him. Alex could feel something inside of him stirring, he ignored it as he tried to find his mother. His only goal was to find her and get her to safty. But it was to late. He found her ripped in half. At that site Alex lost him self, and the demon inside came out. He killed with out mercy. Human, demon he didn't care. All were equal in his bloodlust. That was the first Tale of the Drifter.

Alex woke up hours later, covered in blood. He didn't know what to do. He ran into the wasteland. To the world Alex Martez was dead, a victim of the slaughter, and the Drifter was born. Ever since that day he has traveled the waste land. Though he can enter towns, his human half protecting him from the crystals, he chooses to stay away from them. The stories of the Drifter had started.

After that he worked on discovering what he was and learning to control the power inside of him. He believed that despite what he was he could use his power to help prevent anything like what happened to that trade caravan. Now he traverses the wasteland trying to atone for his sins, for what he is. Also to hunt down the demon that attacked the trade caravan. Trying to discover any information he could about the demon.

【Weapons/Tools and Magic】

Dual .45 revolver [+]

-His go to weapons he uses a pair of .45 revolvers that he wares on his hips. The weapons themselves are normal, but he is able to feed them with his demonic energy for more powerful shots. Even able to guide them as he can control those bullets fueled with his demonic power. They however are still limited by being normal pistols. Meaning he only has six-shots before he has to reload.

Sword of the Damned [+]

A gift from his father, before his father died he placed a bit of his own soul into his unborn child. This fragment formed a sentient weapon known as the "Sword of the Damned". It resides in side of him and he is able to call upon it at will. Though he prefers not to. The sword is living entity, and can harm any who wield it, if it chooses too.

Demonic Power: Being half demon he is naturally stronger and faster then normal humans. He can even use his demonic essence to power his human body, like his magic this causes him to start to change. It does make him much harder to kill though. He is able to sustain injuries that would kill a normal human many times over. Though he is still vulnerable to decapitation and also if his heart is removed or completely destroyed he will die.

Demonic Magic: He is able to preform demonic magic easier then most. All forms of Demonic magic come at a cost, however. Having to draw on the demon inside of him which pulls it closer to the surface and makes it harder to resist. His physical form is also altered when ever he preforms it exposing the demon inside of him. First to change is always his eyes and voice, the more powerful the spell the more it changes him.

-HellFire: He can summon Hellfire, a living form of flame it is nearly impossible to put out unless the caster wills it as it also burns much hotter then normal fire. This is however a power full spell and thus makes it obvious what he is as there is significant change to his form.

-Demonic communion: Being a demon him self he able summon lesser demons though the use of a summoning circle, This also traps the demon inside of the circle. Though once inside the summoning circle he is able to cause them pain and get information from them, even kill them. This however depends on the power of the demon. More powerful demons can refuse his summons and can resist any thing that could cause them harm if they choose to speak with him.

-Demonic fog: He is able to summon a fog around him self, shrouding everything in a thick haze that is nearly impossible to see though. Because it is formed of his Demonic essence he is able to sense everything inside of it. Even carry his voice through it as he can speak to people in particular or making a loud booming voice. While doing this only his eyes and voice are altered.

@Araby264: I did say that once you'd upped the personality you were free to post in the Character section. :P

What about my CS? I fixed it for you, if you need me to repost it I can.

Kind of like binding them to himself, and forcing them to bend to his will. So would it be like an Incantation, where he needs to prepare it, or at least have time to focus. Or something where he would have to brand it, and then he can banish it and summon it at well and also it is bent to his will?

So a Mixture of both sound like it would be best., He has to brand it, something like his Demonic Name, But then he has to trap it in a Devils Trap and fill it with his own essence and dominate it's will

<Snipped quote by Araby264>

@Tuujaimaa Same question, really. I am prepared for a full rewrite anyway.

@innue Done renamed it Demonic Binding"

Alright, there we go! One surly 'wanderer' coming up.

Male

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Personality】
Cold. Conrad Ortega, or ‘Six Shot’ as he is known, is a survivor in this world. He didn’t start out this way, but even the strongest will find themselves numbed by time and experience. Conrad’s slow transformation to a seemingly uncaring and indifferent individual was complete before his twenty fourth year in the cruel world, and fifth alone in the outer territory. He didn’t choose it, nor did he desire the change… but it was irresistible. Clients and partners dying alike eventually wore him to the point of avoiding the social side of business; the less you knew, the less you would weep later. This doesn’t mean that Conrad will walk away from people attempting to talk to him, or be closed, but it does mean that his responses are clipped and often flat.

A less obvious and buried trait of Conrad can be pulled up with proper circumstances, which is mercy. Compassion and mercy were defining traits before life wore him down, with a splash of heroism. Now mercy remains the survivor of the gauntlet he has been though. Though not normally shown through spoken word or mannerism, it is definitely visible in desperate situations. ‘Six Shot’ has been known to leave towns at the first sign of a horde, yet claims also have the man defending children and stranded travelers from time to time. On a more personal note, this is what would cause the quiet man to sigh and turn back towards a fight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【History】
Conrad Ortega was born in a mining town, fairly close to the Capital. His father was a miner who worked hard to support his young family, and his mother worked as both a seamstress and a clothing washer. Conrad grew up in this environment, learning to live without a lot of the ‘modern’ luxuries found in the city. When he turned twelve however, his father sent him to another outpost to learn the art of inscribing magic and carving crystal at great cost. It was unfortunate then, that this lead to their families ruin.

A man possessing the name of “Laurent” took Conrad on as an apprentice and taught him the art of carving, using the boy to speed work on less important projects, so he could focus on his own master designs. The man originally had the younger boy working on simply shaping crystal for his use, allowing him to fulfill smaller requests with the scraps and tracing paper. It was over a year before Conrad was trusted working on the larger projects. By this time though, Conrad had already realized their mistake. This man was a reject and failure. His experiments were valid, but no one in the capital would accept any inscription licensing provided by this man. All of the money saved for Conrad’s education, and a chance at a greater life were gone.

Conrad waited until he was sixteen to end the apprenticeship and returned to work with his father. Together, with the salary of two men, he managed to build up a retirement for his father and mother, and when he turned nineteen they were finally able to move back to the Capital with acceptable comfort. At this point, Conrad joined with the other hunters to provide further income, and has been sending his extra earnings back home for years. Here he began to learn the truth of the frontier, outside the shelter of the closer outposts. The man returned home just once, when he was twenty two and his mother was sick. He hasn’t been back since.
His first experience as a hunter began with a partnership to a far more experienced man who routinely took on new hunters for a fee. Conrad followed in his footsteps for just a year before looking towards freelancing.

‘Six Shot’ was a term coined by others to describe the rather silent man who passes from town to town, though it described his weapons more than he himself. The reputation stuck however, though many do not link him to the name until seeing the famous firearm in action. Most won’t recognize him on sight, and the stories of the sharpshooter are often faked, except for his abilities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Weapons/Tools and Magic】
-.44 Revolver (Six Shot): An average .44 magnum revolver. Conrad possesses excellent accuracy, though this is lesser commented on… being both common and not so impressive.

-Modified .44 Revolver (Six Shot): This weapon is what gave him his name, and was custom made by Conrad himself. The firearm does not fire projectiles, or require conventional ammo to function. Instead, intricately carved crystals are mounted inside of the chambers, each possessing a specific spell. When cast, a spell targets the first solid point intersecting a straight line from the barrel. Conrad keeps each crystal charged whenever possible, as each crystal is carved to be one half of a whole. The second half is universal to each spell within the firearm, contained in the firing pin, and activates the spell within the positioned crystal upon contacting the back of the shell. (Each shell is screwed into place, after several irritating incidents of crystals falling out.) Unfortunately, each crystal takes a substantial amount of energy to charge, Conrad being known as ‘Six Shot’ as a result of only ever taking six shots with this firearm in a fight. Theoretically, another person could be used to charge the shots faster, but as a loner Conrad generally has to rely on his own energy, which allows him to recharge a single shot every hour.

-Metal Rod: Exactly what it sounds like. Conrad tried swordsmanship, and discovered that he was horrible with lining up a cut properly, and that swords had a bad habit of collecting nicks and dents in the blade. He chose to bypass this with a metal rod with a basic guard welded onto it and a tightly woven rope handle. It is enameled black at four feet long and has an extremely sharp point on the tip for stabbing.

While not the most elegant weapon, he favors it for being the most indestructible at his disposal. It has a tendency to harm other sharpened weapons swung against it, as well as the strength to withstand a demons attack. Conrad often wields it similarly to a longsword or short-spear, depending on the opponent.

Magic:

Conrad is experienced in intricate crystal carving and is capable of small handiwork, but lacks the forethought to work on larger projects. He usually uses this skill for maintenance on his own weaponry.
-Six Shot This handgun is a modified .44 magnum revolver. The alterations have left it impossible to load with actual bullets, but it is deadly all the same. Instead, each chamber holds a shell containing an intricately carved crystal that screws into place securely. Each crystal contains a different spell, though Conrad has marked the cylinder and knows what spell is ready with a brush of his hand or a glance. The spells are as follows:

1: Fireburst- Creates a ball of flame within a 2.5 foot radius of the center of the shot. The flames seem to ‘stick’ to objects caught in the blaze, and will burn for a minute before going out on their own if not checked.
2: Airburst- Creates an explosion in the air within a 2.5 foot radius of the center of the shot. The blast is powerful enough to throw most demons off their feet. (And explode the head of one if shot in the mouth. Not a pleasant experience.)
3: Iceburst- Causes material within a 2.5 foot radius of the center of the shot to freeze, dropping the temperature instantly to zero degrees Fahrenheit. Fragile materials or materials containing liquid may crack.
4: Lightburst- Temporarily paralyzes entities and electrifies conducting materials within a 2.5 foot radius of the shot. The effects appear to latch on to the target, and the spell travels with the object it is bound to. (This lasts a single round of IC posts.)
5: Stoneburst- Turns material that is inorganic or dead to stone within a 2.5 foot radius of the shot, on the condition that it is not alive, metallic, or magical in nature.
6: Gravityburst- Causes gravity to temporarily change direction to match the direction of the shot, within a 2.5 radius of the shot. The effects appear to latch on to the target, and the spell travels with the object it is bound to. (This lasts two rounds of IC posts.)
