[h3][color=gray]The Dark Aces[/color][/h3][hr] [hider=Ayla Sephone] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/gjD40ZX.jpeg[/img] [h1]Ayla Sephone[/h1] [b]29[/b] | [b]She/her[/b] | [b]The Negotiator/Mafia[/b] [/center] [b]Description:[/b] Ayla is the right hand of Ezra and the Dark Aces. If Ezra is surrounded in mystery, she is even more mysterious. Her passport and ID are forged, with only the best detectives able to tell. Her history of working at a designer studio in Jeweled Bank was also forged, and if anyone looks her up, she would come across as someone somewhat normal that was born and grew up in Nocturnia. The truth is a little more strange. Indeed, one day, Ayla just appeared in Nocturnia. And the next day after, she was one of the highest ranked people in the Dark Aces. She is known for her sweetness and charisma, and her rapport. She is the sweet side of the Dark Aces when they want to make a deal, or want to appease and asway a group or person. She is easy to identify, with her naturally sparkled skin, orbous blue eyes, and glamorous outfits. [b]Gyft:[/b] Curses [i]Curse of Sickness[/i] Anyone within a thirty-foot radius of Ayla can suffer from sickness. If they have a gyft, both roll a 1d12. If Ayla wins, she can decide to inflict something as simple as chills, to pneumonia, to a high fever, to a migraine. [i]Curse of Addiction[/i] Anyone within a thirty-foot radius of Ayla can suffer from severe addiction, caused by increased dopamine and serotonin drops when in Ayla's presence. And, when out of her presence, withdrawal, craving, and a need to be back in her presence. Anyone with a gyft, she has to roll a 1d12 for. If she rolls higher, her curse of addiction takes effect. People who are under the curse of addiction are more susceptible to her ideas and words.

There was a particularly bad fight he got into that involved a knife. It cut his face, and he reeled back in shock. At that moment, he was filled with a burning desire to never let something like that happen again. In the next moment, his gyft manifested, and he could [i]see[/i] where the next attack was going to land. He dodged, landed a final blow, and was victorious. Soon, feats of his fighting skills reached the Dark Aces, and he was recruited off the streets. Ezra gave him a proper home, a proper education, and proper training. He turned the aimless youth into a steel blade, filled with precision and direction. Alastor proved he had a mind of his own, much to Ezra's great pleasure. Alastor was also incredibly devoted, and he earned himself higher ranks, eventually taking on the title of Underboss. [b]Gyft:[/b] Causality Vision He is able to see the future trajectories like yellow filaments of light in his vision. As he watches a person, he can see where they're going to walk and how before it actually happens. He is able to see about thirty seconds into the future. This allows him to dodge bullets before they are shot, and land a blow where a person ends up, instead of falling for a feint or misdirection. The most major weakness to his causality vision is that he cannot see in 360 degrees. He is still able to be surprised if there is an attack that catches him from behind. Also, if an attack is too large to outrun or outmaneuver, there isn't a lot he can do for that either.

Needless to say, this opposing mafia no longer exists. And Cyril was brought out of the darkness and into the light, little more than a husk of a man. His story is, unfortunately, more common than one would think in Nocturnia. His gyft was extorted, and he was kept as a prize as well as ensuring he couldn’t threaten this gang. Being rescued from all of that, Cyril was incredibly grateful to the Dark Aces. When he was told there was a job position available to him, Cyril had only one question, “I don’t scare you, right?” Of course not. And that was the truth, the Dark Aces were the one place where Cyril could be himself and express his talents and his desires to be the one in control. He can show a person anything, but he doesn’t prefer to show pleasant things. After all, it’s better to scare the one trying to hold a gun to your head than sit there quietly trying to be pleasant. It’s true, one can never see Cyril’s eyes. He chalks it up to his vision often being in other places. And yes, he is a capo. [b]Gyft:[/b] ??? [/hider] [hider=Lucian Vanguard] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/cGlHktm.jpeg[/img] [h1]Lucian Vanguard[/h1] [b]30[/b] | [b]He/him[/b] | [b]The Knight/Mafia[/b] [/center] [b]Description:[/b] Lucian was singled out when he was just a boy, having made headlines news about his unique gyft. Many gangs wanted him, however, it was the DarkAces that were the fairest to Lucian, giving him a choice and beating down the more rowdy competition, who hoped to simply snatch the boy away. So, for steady pay, and the opportunity to spar against the likes of the rather infamous Alastor Dominique, Lucian became a Dark Ace. He quickly became a disciple, learning the fundamental rules and teachings within the Dark Aces, and the all-around philosophy, the origins as well, like how the Beggar Prince had a chance encounter with the Midnight man that changed his course and the course of al future Dark Aces forever. He prides himself as a guard of sorts, able to go on the offense as well as set up a fairly good defense. They gave him the nickname ‘Knight’ based on how he looks when he fights, and he’s played into that, making more complex structures and shapes that give him a bit of bravado when he enters the scene. You won’t catch him with a sword, but the guns he makes work great. So really, he should be in some kind of cyberpunk category, he figures. [b]Gyft:[/b] ??? [/hider]
