[OOC] Highschool DxD: The Devils' Due [ENDED]

Due to the lack of activity in this RP as well as my increasingly hectic schedule, I hereby declare this RP permanently ended.

Apologies to those who wish to see this continued, if any.

[PaulHaynek]

(I know "A Peerage Of Devils" was the intended title but 'The Devils' Due' sounded much more appropriate considering the overall plot.)

"There was more than the Bible tells us, Calvin. Did you know that? Things that were not recorded there. Things that could not be spread as part of the teachings. These survived dressed as myths and ramblings, intentionally or accidentally. We and the other faiths have spent scores of years gathering this knowledge. Cross-referencing, de-exaggerating, confirming. We have put most of the puzzle together now. And what we discovered... It was clear why these needed to be hidden.

But I am telling you this now. Because the things concerning this knowledge are done hiding."

-Father Deckard

Welcome to 'The Devils' Due'. An RP set within the universe of the popular light novel series Highschool DxD. I will also say this is an AU of sorts as there will be things here that will be a bit different from the original universe like characters from the original will appear here albeit with different roles and personalities.

You will play as a Reincarnated Devil and join Delilah Dantalion and her peerage as she tries to restore the name of Dantalion in the world of Devils in the Rating Games. But as you will soon learn, Delilah has unknowingly and unfortunately been caught up in a dark conspiracy that threatens to ruin all the world of creation. As to what this conspiracy is and who is perpetrating it shall be revealed in due time.

For now, Delilah and her peerage operate a cafe in Northern Japan. There, Delilah and her team goes on with their daily lives, managing the cafe, accomplishing contracts and awaiting their next Rating Game.

Delilah's Peerage

King: Delilah Dantalion
Queen:
Bishop 1: Asia Argento
Bishop 2:
Knight 1:
Knight 2:
Rook 1:
Rook 2:
Pawns:

And there we have it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask~!

Also, if you know anyone that likes to RP Highschool DxD, give them a holler will you?

Also also, do you guys have any suggestions for the name of the cafe?

[Shadow Daedalus]

I'd like to claim a Knight slot

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PaulHaynek

Small question regarding race

Can we be something aside from Human/Devil/Fallen Angel or whatever when we start out as something? Say a Kitsune or other Yokai or similar creature.

Unsure of what piece the charcater would fit into at the moment, though.

[Lord Orgasmo]

I think I'll go for bishop. Magic is pretty cool.

[PaulHaynek]

Can we be something aside from Human/Devil/Fallen Angel or whatever when we start out as something? Say a Kitsune or other Yokai or similar creature.

@Rune_Alchemist

Yes. You may play as creatures from other mythologies.

[Lord Orgasmo]

I'll probably be an Elf or something. Because I'm basic.

[TheHangedMan]

Deliberating on making a pawn or a bishop character. Might wait until others come out but then again I might lose a spot

[Rune_Alchemist]

Blegh, can't decide between a Rook, a character that could double as a bishop or a queen, or a Knight.

why must I always be so horribly indecisive.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Rune_Alchemist Roll a Dice: 1-2 for Rook, 3-4 for Bishop/Queen, 5-6 for Knight

If you get 3 or 4, coin toss to decide Bishop or Queen

[Lord of Evil]

I wanna book a rook. Always wanted to tank, sort of.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@PaulHaynek How old is Delilah/How long ago did she start building her peerage? Because one idea for my character is 200+ years old (i.e. Napoleonic Wars old) but looks 19.

[Mtntopview]

I might be interested in trying a pawn if nobody minds

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PaulHaynek

Alright, I think this is good for now. I'm going to wait on some info on Delilah before I finalize everything and work on the history later, but this is the general gist of the character for now.

Spider Waifu

"Oh, aren't you just a delicious looking morsel. Let me have a bite, hmm? Pleeease?~ Aww, don't give me that look...I'm not a venomous wittle spider. Probably~"

Appearance:
If standing on her human legs, Atla reaches a respectable height of five foot seven. If using her spider legs for support, she can reach nearly six foot three - quite an intimidating boost, especially since she has a tendency to sneak up on people for giggles. She has light brown hair, and is typically seen as somewhat dainty and slight of frame. Most would likely consider her to be fairly attractive. She has amber eyes, though typically she walks around with them closed, oddly enough. In her hair she wears a simple hair ornament, and she is a fan of simple, yet elegant seeming dresses.

Of course, when she's alone her appearance takes an entirely different nature.

Six spider legs grow from her back, able to be manipulated as well as her other limbs. The limbs themselves are covered in a hard, chitinous carapace that end in sharp points. Useful for stabbing things and in close combat. Six, pupiless eyes can be seen on her forehead above her two 'main' ones. She has spider like fangs that extend from her top two canines, that are difficult to hide.

Name:
Atla Vethoth
'Suzue Yamazaki' to most humans.

Age:
20

Gender: Female
Race:
Jorōgumo (formerly)
Reincarnated Devil (Currently)

Chess Piece:
Queen -
As Dililah's queen piece, Atla is quite adept in all areas. She has a knights speed, a rooks defense, and a bishops capacity for magic. While she perhaps may be somewhat lacking in the physical combat area, she is far from defenseless and could be a formidable opponent in a number of ways.

~Sacred Gear~:
N/A

Magic:
Youjutsu Like most Jorōgumo, Atla is fairly skilled in the art of Youjutsu. That is, a form of magic solely used by Youkai that create Illusions. She is rather adept at the art, and can create some fairly nifty and often times terrifying illusions. She can create things that seem entirely real to all senses, and many would have difficulty telling the difference.

She is by no means a master however, and as they are illusions they don't directly cause any direct damage to something - though they can render a foe immobilized as they are seeing something different than what is actually happening, and unless they can somehow overcome the illusion they will likely not be able to do much. Even if they know something is an illusion however, it takes a bit more than simply knowing something is fake to contend with it, as their very body will perceive all that is happening to be real.

• Eight Eyes of the Jorōgumo:
  A series of Techniques developed by her family, inherited by her and her numerous siblings. They are a series of fairly effective and powerful Youjutsu techniques, so called the 'Eight Eyes' after a spiders eight eyes. She hasn't mastered every technique yet mind you, but she is still working on it.
  
  • Eye of Petrification:
    The first eye, it fills the area with an intense, oppressive aura - the victim will imagine they are being watched from every direction. It induces temporary paralysis upon foes through an absolute seeming, all consuming fear. It is her weakest illusion, however, but quite effective in small doses and useful in settling arguments. It can be useful in temporarily stunning more powerful targets, and making lesser ones flee entirely.
  • Eye of the Sightless:
    An illusion that deprives one of their vision, rendering the foe completely blind to their surroundings as far as visual senses goes. For those with enhanced hearing and other senses it's effective might fall a bit, but having your vision suddenly drained from you is always going to be a bit jarring to start with. By combining this with 'Paralyzing Gaze' she can make the foe imagine large, immense eyes gazing at them from all directions, further enveloping them in an illusion.
  • Eye of Agony:
    The victim will feel themselves being cut, torn, and otherwise wounded by blades or whatever other weapons they fear or dislike the most. Most notably, all pain they feel is real and they will perceive all wounds to actually appear on their body wherever they feel the pain. Not restricted to man-made weapons either - they could feel as though they are burning alive or freezing to death.
  • Eye of Hostility:
    One of the more powerful techniques in her arsenal. It will make the foe imagine there is in fact, another enemy present. This enemy is only visible to them, and they will more or less be wholly convinced they are completely real. The enemy can be something she chooses, or something created by the victims mind. If created by her, it will behave as she believes and expects it too. If created by the victim, it will behave as the victim expects.

Fire Magic:
She is, in fact skilled with fire magic. While perhaps not as skilled in the art as she is with Youjutsu, she can still cast some fairly potent mid-level spells with it.

• Combustion: - A range spell that causes a mass of magical energy to converge on an area, creating a localized explosion on a certain target. Not too powerful but good at catching foes off guard and keeps them moving.
• Flame Pulse: - A somewhat defensive spell that creates a large pulse of fire in a circular motion around her, typically shoving foes away from her.
• Spider Fangs - Fire magic that takes the form of large fangs, resembling that of a spider and her most powerful fire spell currently. The jaws clamp down on a foe, immobilizing them and burning them alive. It is a close range spell at the moment, however and takes a fair bit of energy to use.

Flight -
The spider can fly now, like most other demons. Have fun with that, kiddos.

Skills:
Thread spinning/Control
Atla is able to spin very fine, very strong threads from her body. Most notably her spider appendages and her hands. The threads are sticky, able to cling to surfaces - however they are much more durable than normal spider thread and would require a bit more effort to break than just simply cutting them. They can be used for restraining, as well as setting traps of difficult to detect wire and thread or quickly traveling about.

Miscellaneous Skills:

• Chef:
  Likes to think she's an excellent cook. She usually is.
• Spider Tongue:
  Spiders, well, like her. And she can talk to them. Yep. Pretty useful for recon.
• Venomous Fangs:
  Her fangs are in fact, venomous. Being bitten by her will in fact, end in likely death unless someone has some resistance to venom or other defenses. It does take some time to completely work, though.
• Wall crawling:
  She is indeed, able to hang from walls and crawl on ceilings with her spider legs.

Personality:
At first, Suzue, or rather Atla, would come off as incredibly polite and friendly. She is very formal in her mannerisms and tends to treat everyone with a high amount of respect and proper decorum. Indeed, she's fairly servile in her mannerisms at first glance. A bit catty and flirtatious, she doesn't take anything too seriously. She cares greatly for her comrades and friends, and while she doesn't like conflict she will never let anyone hurt those she cares about, even at probable cost to herself. She tends to dote slightly on new members of the peerage, treating them as 'younger siblings', and his highly overprotective of them. She is a fairly determined person, though she can often obsess over things and ends up perhaps getting too much tunnel vision on a single goal.

Of course, the longer one spends around her the more they might find a slightly domineering person who takes great enjoyment in teasing people. Not that she's mean or overly aggressive mind you - she just likes messing with people - a lot. Expect pranks, harmless flirting and teasing. She herself, also has a tendency to like being spoiled and doted on, if only because she has rarely experienced such things in her life, usually being the one doing it.

History:
Atla didn't have an especially interesting history until joining the peerage. If anything, she was rather average as far as Youkai went. She was the oldest child in a rather large and old family of Jorōgumo, on her mothers side of course. By the time she was ten, she had at least eight other siblings of various ages. As busy as her mother and father were doing their daily jobs and life to support their large family, she was often left to take care of her younger siblings when they were busy.

She had no desires for power, no desires to learn her families Youjutsu secrets despite the urging of her mother. She simply desired to watch over her younger siblings and lead a fairly normal life. She greatly was endeared to them, often striving to better her own schooling and teaching so she could better take care of them. She often spent days cooking, cleaning, and using her thread and extra appendages to take care of them and settle any arguments the rather large family would inevitably have. Of course, she never really intended to join a Devils Peerage either. It was the desire to protect her siblings that led to her becoming a devil. The youngest one had always been a bit of a delinquent. Getting into scuffles, trying to start trouble. Of course, she couldn't just sit by and watch - he was going to hurt himself.

It was during one of these fights she decided to directly intervene. She cared more about her younger brother than keeping the fact she wasn't exactly human from well, humans. The ensuing scuffle was quick and rather tragic. One of the thugs brought a gun with them, of all things. You can imagine how it played out. Atla was shot, and that was that.

It seemed however, that the scuffle caught the attention of a Devil that happened to be passing by. Delilah saved her that day, and that was also the day she lost all contact with her family. It hurt her to make such a decision to be sure, but she felt it would be easier on them to simply assume she had been killed and well, whoever did the killing simply got rid of the body.

She's been with Delilah and the Peerage for around five years now, one of the older members. She sometimes seems a bit down about being unable to contact her family, but considers the Peerage her family now so she doesn't let it get to her much.

Other:
- Akeno, definitely Akeno.
- She wishes to learn Senjutsu, and other forms of magic, though is focused on still refining her Youjutsu.

[Polaris North]

So I was going to go originally for a Queen or Bishop, but seeing as someone has reserved and made a character for them, I just went for the Pawn.

Aramiel

"Your wish is my command, my King."

---

Name: Aramiel [known as Akasuki Daithi to humans]

Age: 25; real age is unknown

Gender: Male

Race: 6 winged Fallen Angel - Reincarnated Devil

Chess Piece: Four Pawns

Magic:

• Dark Light Generation: A natural ability for all Angels and Fallen Angels. Aramiel is known for his long-range tactics; hence his generations are usually made up of bows and arrows, or even modern day guns. Its color is blood red.
• Lightning Manipulation: Though it may not be as destructive Baraqiel's or Akeno's, but still useful in fights. It is often mixed with his Dark Light Generation to create a destructive combo. This also allows the projectile launched to explode.
  • Plasma Beam: Forming balls of plasma near him, he can shoot a straight beam of plasma towards the enemy. He can max out at three beams active simultaneously.
  • Lightning Boost: Covering himself in lightning, he is able to boost his overall physical abilities and add lightning damage to his attacks. This lasts for ten minutes. He is able to use this on others.
  • Storm: A devastating AoE technique that costs a lot of mana, he is able to summon a lightning storm to hit his enemies. This can be done inside and outside, but it has proven more effective outside.
• Flight: Thanks to his wings, he can fly like most of his kind.

Skills:

• Finance: After spending quite a while on the human world, learning about their ways, he has learned how to manage money well.
• Cooking: He has quite the skills in this art... though they may not be aesthetically pleasing half of the time, their taste is definitely among some of the best.
• Parkour: He couldn't resist the allure of learning how the humans get by without the ability to fly.
• Fast Learner: As long as there is someone to teach him, he's able to pick up on anything rather quickly. This includes a number of magical techniques.

Personality: Aramiel has often been seen as a serious spirit. He can rarely be seen with a smile on his face when he is on the job - the job being in Rating Games. His tone is most often polite but monotone, which then makes it hard to tell if he starts joking or not. He takes the games very seriously because he knows that it is very important for Delilah. That's another trait to him - he is ridiculously loyal to Delilah, feeling that he owes the second chance of having a purpose to her. However, he isn't a stupid person. He would follow her to the end - but he would try and stop her from doing anything stupid. He would be there to punch her if she ever loses sight of her goal.

It isn't easy trying to get something personal out of Aramiel. Usually, he would only tell someone as far back as four years after he had fallen. That was approximately two years before he had joined Delilah's peerage. He is very secretive of why he had fallen, and so far, only Delilah (and anyone who has been in the peerage for a long time) knows why. It seems that he is a soldier through and through as he always seeks a leader - a purpose. He needed something to do, or else he'd just wander around, lost. Noted this, he doesn't seem to hold a personal grudge to those in the heavens even though he had fallen. He seems to speak fondly of God of the Bible and the Seraphs.

Most of the time, he acts as a sort of butler to anyone in the peerage.

History: Aramiel was a prized soldier in the Angel faction. Loyal to a fault and would go to the ends of the universe to follow a command, he was the perfect soldier. He doesn't seem to question the leadership of the higher ups. In fact, he's the first to act upon an order. It has to be noted that he was one of the original Angels so he has been alive for more than a while. So when God of the Bible died, he lamented with the other Angels. After all, He had technically been their father and their leader. However, they continued on. With the relative peace between the three factions, Aramiel was put on hold and just did whatever he could around Heaven. Whenever there's conflict, he would be the first one to descend into the chaos.

Unfortunately, Aramiel's reign as a prized soldier ended when he caught wind of a mutiny. One of the angels had wished to overthrow Gabriel and Michael. Enveloped with the will to protect what his home, he attacked the other angel. However, he accidentally killed the angel. Having committed a sin, and having heard that the angel had been bluffing, he fell from Heaven and resided on Earth. For the first time, he had openly mingled with the humans. Though, as expected, he didn't know what to do. He survived on Earth, yes, but it only seemed to just be surviving. Without a leader, he just survived but not lived. Because of his actions of murder instead of acts of lust, he was not contacted by the Grigori to become part of their faction.

He had gotten into a scuffle with other Fallen Angels who were desecrating a church. While he ended up defeating them all, he had suffered grave injuries. He was about to die, and he accepted it. However, that was when Delilah Dantalion came. She reincarnated him using four pawns. Ever since then, he became loyal to her. That had been four years ago. There has been some noticeable confusion among some customers who had encountered 'Daithi' before - as he still looked the same after four years. It was as if he doesn't age. Well now, he just aged very, very, very slowly... compared to humans that is.

Other: Akeno probably.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Polaris North

As far as I am aware, there's only one Bishop reserved. I could easily have Atla be either a Bishop or Queen. If there's a specific one you want, I could just make her the other.

[Polaris North]

@Rune_Alchemist

Oh, but Asia already had the Bishop and one reserved the other spot.

Nah, it's fine. I think it would be amusing to see how flexible a Pawn can be on him. Besides, I think the Queen fits yours better.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Polaris North

Ah fuck, really? Asia's a thing?

Whoops. Must have been added after I read the post.

Queen it is then~

[Lord of Evil]

Hm... This guy feels more like a pawn than a rook, but nevermind. Tell me if something's wrong with the sheet.

Sato

Appearance:

or this if you prefer

Name: Sato Watanabe
Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Chess Piece: Rook

Sacred Gear

Maw of gluttony
Sato's sacred gear allows him to temporarily increase his powers by eating food. Ingesting any food increases his natural healing rate, defense and striking power, depending on the amount. The effects don't last that long, however. On a full stomach Sato can exhibit powers well beyond that of an average rook, but in combat that energy burns quickly. With Sato's sacred gear it goes even faster, and he crashes twice as hard. He metabolizes quickly even out of combat and has to eat much more often than normal. On an empty stomach he's effectively incapacitated and if there's still more fighting to be done, he might just start burning his life away.

Magic: None

Skills: Can cook and bake. Learns things quickly. Very good at physical labour.

Personality: Sato is naturally suspicious of others and won't hesitate to lie if he needs to, but he's not exactly unfriendly and is more disposed towards being honest. He's fairly straightforward and unemotional but usually polite, deferring to his seniors who usually know better than he does. He never does something without a reason but is ultimately kind at heart, though he often buries it under excuses. To those he trusts he's loyal almost to a fault, and tries not to let down those who trust him. If he thinks that they can do a better job than he does then he's happy to sit back and support them. Sato may seem unmotivated but he's willing to do just about anything if he gets something out of it, and he'll go to the ends of the earth to finish the job. He almost never gets angry, though it can be surprisingly easy to annoy him, particularly when resources are being wasted. He does his best to keep his temper in check, though, as he believes that he's far more productive without it.

History: Sato is part of a large and fairly poor family. As a child Sato's sacred gear made things difficult since his family didn't have really have the resources to support his ravenous apetite. This was less of a problem when Sato was born as he was only the second child, but things eventually escalated as the family expanded. He got used to sharing with his younger siblings quickly, though, and soon enough became one of the pillars of the family. He took a part time jub as soon as he could, mostly so that he could take the edge of the extra food costs that he incurred. One day, when he was going home from one of his jobs, he was hit by a truck. Sato was pretty fuzzy on what happened next but when he next opened his eyes he was face to face with a somewhat familiar girl, who informed him that she'd turned him into a devil. He recognized her as the proprietress of a cafe he'd gone to once. At first Sato was reluctant to help her, until she mentioned that he would eventually be rewarded. Now he performs tasks willingly under Delilah and helps her with the cafe, so long as he gets paid for it.

Other: From what I've seen my favourite is a toss up between Lucifer and Azazel.

[PaulHaynek]

I've made Asia's sheet and put on Delilah's backstory and personality for those who need it. I'll complete Delilah's sheet soon. (And by soon I mean this coming Friday)

I'm not judging Characters yet since you may change them with these new information.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PaulHaynek

Alright, I think that does it~
Do tell if I need to change something~

Spider Waifu

"Oh, aren't you just a delicious looking morsel. Let me have a bite, hmm? Pleeease?~ Aww, don't give me that look...I'm not a venomous wittle spider. Probably~"

Atla Vethoth
'Suzue Yamazaki' to most humans.

Age:
Actual: 25
Physical Age: 20

Gender: Female
Race:
Jorōgumo (formerly)
Reincarnated Devil (Currently)

Chess Piece:
Queen -
As Dililah's queen piece, Atla is quite adept in all areas. She has a knights speed, a rooks defense, and a bishops capacity for magic. While she perhaps may be somewhat lacking in the physical combat area, she is far from defenseless and could be a formidable opponent in a number of ways.

• Eight Eyes of the Jorōgumo:
  A series of Techniques developed by her family, inherited by her and her numerous siblings. They are a series of fairly effective and powerful Youjutsu techniques, so called the 'Eight Eyes' after a spiders eight eyes. She hasn't mastered every technique yet mind you, but she is still working on it.
  
  • Eye of Petrification:
    The first eye, it fills the area with an intense, oppressive aura - the victim will imagine they are being watched from every direction. It induces temporary paralysis upon foes through an absolute seeming, all consuming fear. It is her weakest illusion, however, but quite effective in small doses and useful in settling arguments.

Not restricted to man-made weapons either - they could feel as though they are burning alive or freezing to death.
  • Eye of Hostility:
    One of the more powerful techniques in her arsenal. It will make the foe imagine there is in fact, another enemy present. This enemy is only visible to them, and they will more or less be wholly convinced they are completely real. The enemy can be something she chooses, or something created by the victims mind. If created by her, it will behave as she believes and expects it too. If created by the victim, it will behave as the victim expects.

Fire Magic:
She is, in fact skilled with fire magic. While perhaps not as skilled in the art as she is with Youjutsu, she can still cast some fairly potent mid-level spells with it.

• Combustion: - A range spell that causes a mass of magical energy to converge on an area, creating a localized explosion on a certain target. Not too powerful but good at catching foes off guard and keeps them moving.
• Flame Pulse: - A somewhat defensive spell that creates a large pulse of fire in a circular motion around her, typically shoving foes away from her.
• Spider Fangs - Fire magic that takes the form of large fangs, resembling that of a spider and her most powerful fire spell currently. The jaws clamp down on a foe, immobilizing them and burning them alive. It is a close range spell at the moment, however and takes a fair bit of energy to use.

Flight -
The spider can fly now, like most other demons. Have fun with that, kiddos.

Skills:
Thread spinning/Control
Atla is able to spin very fine, very strong threads from her body. Most notably her spider appendages and her hands. The threads are sticky, able to cling to surfaces - however they are much more durable than normal spider thread and would require a bit more effort to break than just simply cutting them. They can be used for restraining, as well as setting traps of difficult to detect wire and thread or quickly traveling about.

Miscellaneous Skills:

• Chef:
  Likes to think she's an excellent cook. She usually is.
• Piano Maestro:
  Is fairly skilled at playing the Piano. The spider limbs help a bit.
• Spider Tongue:
  Spiders, well, like her. And she can talk to them. Yep. Pretty useful for recon.
• Venomous Fangs:
  Her fangs are in fact, venomous. Being bitten by her will in fact, end in likely death unless someone has some resistance to venom or other defenses. It does take some time to completely work, though.
• Wall crawling:
  She is indeed, able to hang from walls and crawl on ceilings with her spider legs.

Personality:
At first, Suzue, or rather Atla, would come off as incredibly polite and friendly. She is very formal in her mannerisms and tends to treat everyone with a high amount of respect and proper decorum. Indeed, she's fairly servile in her mannerisms at first glance. A bit catty and flirtatious, she doesn't take anything too seriously. She cares greatly for her comrades and friends, and while she doesn't like conflict she will never let anyone hurt those she cares about, even at probable cost to herself. She tends to dote slightly on new members of the peerage, treating them as 'younger siblings', and his highly overprotective of them. She is a fairly determined person, though she can often obsess over things and ends up perhaps getting too much tunnel vision on a single goal.

Of course, the longer one spends around her the more they might find a slightly domineering person who takes great enjoyment in teasing people. Not that she's mean or overly aggressive mind you - she just likes messing with people - a lot. Expect pranks, harmless flirting and teasing. She herself, also has a tendency to like being spoiled and doted on, if only because she has rarely experienced such things in her life, usually being the one doing it.

History:
Atla didn't have an especially interesting history until joining the peerage. If anything, she was rather average as far as Youkai went. She was the oldest child in a rather large and old family of Jorōgumo, on her mothers side of course. By the time she was ten, she had at least eight other siblings of various ages. As busy as her mother and father were doing their daily jobs and life to support their large family, she was often left to take care of her younger siblings when they were busy.

She had no desires for power, no desires to learn her families Youjutsu secrets despite the urging of her mother. She simply desired to watch over her younger siblings and lead a fairly normal life. She greatly was endeared to them, often striving to better her own schooling and teaching so she could better take care of them. She often spent days cooking, cleaning, and using her thread and extra appendages to take care of them and settle any arguments the rather large family would inevitably have. Of course, she never really intended to join a Devils Peerage either. It was the desire to protect her siblings that led to her becoming a devil. The youngest one had always been a bit of a delinquent. Getting into scuffles, trying to start trouble. Of course, she couldn't just sit by and watch - he was going to hurt himself.

It was during one of these fights she decided to directly intervene. She cared more about her younger brother than keeping the fact she wasn't exactly human from well, humans. The ensuing scuffle was quick and rather tragic. One of the thugs brought a gun with them, of all things. You can imagine how it played out. Atla was shot, and that was that.

It seemed however, that the scuffle caught the attention of a Devil that happened to be passing by. Delilah saved her that day, and that was also the day she lost all contact with her family. It hurt her to make such a decision to be sure, but she felt it would be easier on them to simply assume she had been killed and well, whoever did the killing simply got rid of the body.

She's been with Delilah and the Peerage for around five years now, one of the older members. She sometimes seems a bit down about being unable to contact her family, but considers the Peerage her family now so she doesn't let it get to her much.

Other:
- Akeno, definitely Akeno.
- She wishes to learn Senjutsu, and other forms of magic, though is focused on still refining her Youjutsu.
