Balance

Name: Emory Lone
Nickname: Galestorm
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Sexuality: Demisexual
Role: Lead Assistant
Rank: S
Alignment: Balance
Element: Wind
Personality: Emory has many different aspects to his personality. He is often serious, maintaining a bland and unimpressed expression which can turn into a sharp scowl if faced with something – or someone – he dislikes (Chaos). On the other hand, he has a ready smile for everyone, and a soft spot for children (which means those younger than him).

Unknown to mere acquaintances, he has a humorous side, often displayed in the form of dry or sarcastic comments, especially when around the few people he fully trusts, a list which is currently composed of magic users steadfastly aligned with Balance. Emory only allows himself to be carefree, loud and active when in a place he feels safe, such as his home or the Headquarters. He is relatively caring in that while he doesn’t believe in sugar-coating the truth no matter how harsh it may be, he will break the news gently if that person is close to him, or is in visible distress, close to breaking down.

Emory is extremely practical, and strives to be a man of sound moral principles, and would stand by them no matter what it cost him. He can be stubborn and hard-headed when he believes he is right, and refuses to be convinced otherwise unless the opponent manages to bring sound logic into the argument. He refrains from judging people by first impression alone, and usually reserves his opinion until he knows them better. While he might be a hard person to offend, his temper is a slow simmering fire, not easily coerced to rearing up and retaliate, but the right trigger works like oil on fire, making it explosive and abrupt, but dwindles down quickly. The right trigger? Threatening his young’uns in his presence. The older ones can take care of themselves, but the younger evokes his mama bear instincts to the most primitive level. He will hunt the perpetrators down with extreme prejudice, and will stop at nothing until they are six feet under.

History: A member of an old family of magic users firmly on the side of Balance, Emory had grown up amongst magic for his entire life. His soft spot for those younger than him came from taking care of his younger siblings when his oft-absent parents were away. Even for a magic-user, he was a rather peculiar child, one who found solitude amongst tomes and quiet areas instead of running around in the sunlight and mucking about with other children. While he was not a genius by birth, his wholehearted concentration and great mental control paid off, allowing him to master his element to the finest level. His seriousness came from the need to grow up fast when his grandfather, along with his father, aunt and a handful of their colleagues were slaughtered during the battle to retrieve the Jewel from Dormammu. His mother was heartbroken, and Emory took on some of his late-father's responsibilities, as well as striving to take over his position in M.A.N.A. With his determination and growing strength, Emory slowly rose through the ranks, eventually achieving the position as Lead Assistant.

Chaos: Here's someone for Balance to kill

Name: Heinrich Venhaegen
Nickname: Wrath (answers to this now)
Gender: Male
Age: 25 when he was changed

More closer/clearer appearances

Sexuality: Asexual
Role: Daemon
Rank: Between Monster and Hell
Alignment: Chaos
Element: Earth
Personality & slight history: Previously a dark magic user, Heinrich was different from his chaotic friends in that he prefers to keep his 'good' mindset alive alongside his 'bad' mindset, resulting in him having dual personalities, one calm and kind and the other sadistic and ruthless, that he refers to respectively, as "light" and "dark". His "light" side is reserved for his human friends and colleagues when he blends into human society. While this personality is forefront, he goes about under the guise of an everyday salaryman. He is carefree and cheerful, charismatic enough to appear likeable to strangers even with his dead eyes.

His "dark" side, though, is heavily influenced by his the way he utilizes his magic, slowly molded over time and after every enemy life he ends. While his dark side is prevalent, his speech and mannerisms become much more refined. He is still a bit laid back but he is much more sadistic and merciless, taking pleasure in using his ability to kill people in creative and grotesque ways. When he is dark, his powers are linked to his emotions, so the more hatred he feels for the faction of Balance - goody-two-shoes who he feels are denying the world a chance to taste true sin - the more forceful his powers become, but less controlled.

Keeping these dual personalities from bleeding into one another, or having his "light" side destroyed completely by his "dark" side, was at times very difficult. Having both was what made life interesting, after all. However, five years ago, the matter was taken out of his hands when a piece of the Yang shard entered him, feeding upon the hatred in his heart and in turn expanding it far beyond what he normally felt. This resulted in his dark side completely consuming his light, obliterating his humanity and any remaining goodness within, as well as turning him into the monstrosity he is now. Now all he feels is the need to fulfill the wishes of his leader and lead worshipper, and taking joy from slaughter. He still retains his logical, human mind, but now when he is pushed to his limit and his hatred triggers, he goes on a rampage, and the only way to stop him is to either outright kill him or when he has lost sight of/killed his enemies.

Other: He is blind and so 'sees' via vibrations from the surface he stands on.

So I'm planning on getting a post up but I'm not too sure how the Devilia operate,like, do they meet in certain areas and do their own thing until they're called?

Hikari Kyushetsu

"Is it time already?"

Name:
Hikari Kyushetsu

Nickname:
Beastmaster

Gender:
Male

Age:
25

Sexuality:
Asexual

In Depth Appearance:
Hikari stands at a rather average height of 5'7". He has a well built body frame, and a lean type of body. He has black hair and his eyes shine a purple to violet hue. However, wrapped around his face are bandages which he needs to cover up quite a large amount of scars. Those without bandage are the parts that the claws never touched. He would, most of the time, have a kitsune mask with him which he tends to wear when he's out and about causing mass chaos. He would often be seen in a hooded jacket, pants and combat boots.

Role:
Daemon

Rank:
Three stars - possibly more

Alignment:
Neutral - but leans very close to Chaos

Element:
Beast Soul - He is, in a sense, able to insert one soul of an animal or monster into their own bodies and use their physical prowess or special powers. For example: Hikari would call upon the soul of a spider. He would be able to stick to walls and create webs and such. He can even push it to the extent where he would have a defining physical trait like claws and fangs or even a tail. A monster is relatively harder to incorporate into his system without him going wild - however, he has shown capabilities of incorporating a kitsune and using some of their powers. It is unknown where the limit is.

Personality:
Hikari is a person who has close to no emotions. He does not feel fear, anger, happiness, or anything really. That's why he can kill so easily without remorse, may it be a child, the elderly or even his own family member. Though he kills because he wants to get something out of it, because he wants to actually feel something. He chose murder in particular because people keep saying that people feel bad, disgusted, happy and a lot of other emotions when they see a dead body or even kill a person. However, he hasn't really felt anything aside from the wetness of the blood. When he got hold of the 'Yang' crystal, it simply amplified his will to find out if he can truly feel anything. Maybe causing mass destruction would at least make him happy that he accomplished something.

However, this does not entail that Hikari doesn't help anyone. He does, when he feels up for it. Maybe he would feel a sense of happiness from helping someone after all. However, these incidents are few in between. He would be more likely to kill than to help. He is quite an expert in covering his tracks though. Given that he is usually silent and his presence isn't really all that big, it is easy to slip past people every now and then.

Other:
Has been killing even before obtaining his Yang crystal
Body count around seven currently

@Pyromaniacwolf The Devilia are very much like the typical cult. They usually stay in a secluded area near each other, and often meet with one another on new ways to defeat MANA, daemon training and more. But again, they are very unorganized, so half of the time they have no idea where their people are.

@Loki Odinson

I just posted for my OC and I made stuff up so that I can join in with them in the infirmary. The thing the leader was supposed to tell Arden was that he was to accompany the Niflheim as a senpai of sorts. Well, it's your choice what to post with Emory but just wanted you to not get confused with Arden's actions.

[Loki Odinson]

@MistOfEternity Got it, thanks for the explanation.

[Loki Odinson]

@Cherrywitch Just to clarify before I reply, is the guy who turned purple a daemon, a summoned creature, a magic user...?

[Cherrywitch]

@Loki Odinson He was a Daemon, or rather a human who was just turning into a Daemon.

@upset delight

When you say "her" do you mean Cinia? I mean she does eat people, but it's more like she drains their life force and turns them into husks.

[Upset Delight]

No. She is a demon inside him. Kinda a second character but she just kinda eats everything uncontrollably.

[DeadlyPhoenix]

Are you still accepting characters for this story? I would be interested if thats okay? If its cool then I will send in my Character sheet.

[Cherrywitch]

@DeadlyPhoenix Yes, still accepting. ^~^

History: Her whole family has been magic users ever since she was born. Her whole family has work for M.A.N.A. and even began to train Anna when they found she has an affinity with fire. They found very good trainers to teach her everything she knows and hope to teach her more and more.

Princess - Her service dog of sorts. He is trained to help people and herself when she is in danger. She is also used as a therapy dog when Anna is too stressed from the real world crashing down on her at times.

[DeadlyPhoenix]

Alright. I plan on reading all the posts soon but can come one bring me up to speed on what is currently happening in the story so I can get a good idea of where to post?

[Cherrywitch]

@DeadlyPhoenix I don't know if you need it anymore, but...
So far the Niflheim have just woken up in the infirmary of MANA. Most were very confused, and even more so when one of them had broken the metal bed frame with her bare hands. Emory has come in and now began to explain just why they were here, and why they aren't normal anymore.

That's kind of the gist. ^^

[DeadlyPhoenix]

@Cherrywitch Thanks for the update. I finally got the time to read everything but this was also helpful. I figured that's where everyone still was but I just wanted to be 100% sure. Since my character is rank B I had her already a part of M.A.N.A so I think this will be a lot of fun.

[Cherrywitch]

@DeadlyPhoenix Yeah, she could have been a magic user before and then received the Yin shard as some others have done, so that would be a good route.

[DeadlyPhoenix]

@Cherrywitch Sounds good to me! Now to wait to see where the story goes from here

[DeadlyPhoenix]

*waiting to post again*
