Dragon

Appearance
Golden horns sprout out of Tomi golden locks of blond hair. Her eyes are also the color of wealth, betraying her origins as a Gold Dragon. The time of great flying scaly lizards are long gone, however, and nowadays people will meet Tomi under the guide of a pale skinned medium sized monster girl with a great tail covered by iron strong scales. Most time, she liked to dress as little as possible or, to be precise, as lazily as possible and only wear a kind of veil or loose clothings, but if necessity arise Tomi will be wearing golden scale-like armor over her arms, legs, shoulders and chest, leaving her belly area exposed. That armor seemingly appears at will when needed, as are a pair of dragon wings that seamlessly appear and disappear from her lower back.

Personality
Tomi is lazy. She likes sleeping, and anything that is low effort. While most other dragons have an arrogant attitude towards everyone else, Tomi mostly have an uninterested approach in all things - except treasures and what she considers as. Of course, her uninterested approach can also lead her to be seen as arrogant, but she doesn't necessarily mean bad by it as it is part of her nature, and dragons are after all ruled by instinct more than most other monsters.

Abilities

Dragon Wings - Tomi has seemingly no wings, but can seamlessly make them appear or disappear from her lower back and take flight if necessary. An ability born from dragon natural abilities mixed with a bit of magic.

Inferno - No surprises her to anyone who's ever stepped outside or read a book - as other members of her species, Tomi has access to her fire breathing ability. Whether in human form or dragon, her breath seem to have the same destructive power. However it also takes a toll on Tomi, making her very tired...like most other actions she does.

Immense Strength - Perhaps less spread among all species of dragons, Tomi is incredibly strong physically. All dragons are strong and intelligent, but Tomi - or perhaps gold dragons, she never met another one - has access to incredible strength when she feels like putting her back into it.

Dragon Form - As most people are probably aware of due to their original power levels, dragons have not completely fallen under the spell of the New Demon Lord. That is to say, they retained the ability to temporarily change back to their dragon form from before the new Demon Lord took over. This is not often used, unless in dire danger or to carry treasures - or men - back to their lair with ease.

Dragon and Armor Form

Background
Tomi was born as a dragon monster girl. The first few years of her life were spent with what she guessed was her mother, but ended up quickly being left on her own as was probably custom for Gold Dragons. With the instincts kicking in, she did not struggle that much to carve a place for herself in the wilderness. Life was incredibly lonely, but she actually did not mind it at all and was content with her lot, not even imagining for a second that there could be more to life than this - which was, living as an absolute Ruler of the Earth on anything inside her immediate territory.

Indeed, for it is possible for a dragon to never meet, or mate, with a human male for their whole life contrary to some other monsters. One day, though, Tomi learned of the fate that would befall her if that was to happen and did not exactly enjoy the fact. That is exactly why she made the trip. One day, after she had killed off a few would-be dragon slayers, the still alive 'intellectual' of the group threatened her by telling her what would happen if she was to stay around here all her life. Tomi did not believe at first, and set out to do some research which included books, libraries and maybe even speaking to other dragon monster girls. Sadly - or not, depending on your position on this whole monster girl business - what the man had said was true. Annoyed but determined, Tomi left her territory to seek a mate. Not anyone would do, though, as it would have to be a worthy human male that stroke her fancy.

Her travels and goal was what led her, one way or another, to Akamagaseki island and to Lady Kyouko. Not having been fruitful in her quest, Tomi came to the conclusion that if she was to meet someone worthy and special, she would have to surround herself with worthy and unique people. What better way to stumble upon powerful individual than to follow other decently powerful beings on some sort of quest. Yes, Tomi would tag along and help, if necessary - but not before taking a nap on that ship...

Favorite Monster Girl: Honestly has no ideas, but I think I gotta go with Dragon 'cause those are the ones that caught my fancy.

[Noblebandit]

I think I'm finished, although please tell me if there's anything else I need to add or change.

Cambiel

"Every saint has a past; every sinner has a future"

Race:
Angel

Magic:

Healing - Cambiel's main area of expertise is his healing magic. With a touch and a prayer, he can imbue an injured companion with divine energy that will cleanse and close their wounds. He's even powerful enough to spare the dying and cure crippling diseases.

Light Barriers - Cambiel can create nearly invisible barriers of light to deny his foes access to an area and protect his friends. This requires a great deal of concentration and the bigger the barrier, the more exhausting it will be for Cambiel.

Holy Light - Cambiel never liked learning offensive magic, but he can create scorching beams of radiant light. Lack of training means these attacks exhaust him fully: just ten seconds of concentrated light takes the same energy as running a marathon.

Turn Undead - With some focus, Cambiel can overwhelm any Undead type monster with holy energy, repulsing them. The stronger the Undead, the more energy this consumes - a meagre zombie or skeleton takes far less to scare off than an ancient vampire.

Abilities:
Angel physiology - Due to his divine nature, Cambiel is far more resistant to the effects of demonic energy and dark magic than earthly beings. He also doesn't need to sleep or eat (though he can choose to do these things), won't get infected by earthly disease and doesn't age.

Herbology - Cambiel's knowledge of healing extends beyond magic. He knows a variety of earthly cures and poisons, and is an excellent cook.

Bowman - Years of practicing with bow and arrow have made Cambiel an expert sharpshooter. He could hit a gnat at fifty paces.

Novice Swordsman - Cambiel has had some training with a sword, and while he won't be winning any tournaments any time soon, he does have an advantage over the completely untrained.

Equipment:
Heavenly Bow - A bow made of durable yet lightweight metal that glistens like gold. When the string is pulled, a ghostly arrow appears nocked, so there is no need to carry physical arrows.

Heavenly Shortsword - the sidearm of choice among Heaven's armies. It is made of the same metal the bow is made from, but Cambiel is not as skilled in melee combat as he is with his bow, and will only use this as a last resort.

Personality:

It's easy to judge Cambiel by his appearance. On the outside, he seems remarkably shy and innocent. Small, slender, with a soft voice and a habit of looking at his feet instead of at the people he's talking to, he's the last person you'd expect to be a warrior.

However, beneath the surface of silk lies a core of steel. Cambiel is utterly devoted to his God, and will do anything he can to enforce her will. He burns with religious fervour and is pious to the utmost; refusing his God's commands or going against her commandments is unthinkable to him.

As befitting of an Angel, Cambiel extols virtue and shuns vice. He is hard-working and diligent when it comes to enforcing the Chief God's commands, yet content with very little when it comes to himself. He gives generously whenever he recieves money, and prefers to spend his time offering aid to the poor and needy. Most notably, he dislikes lustful thoughts directed towards him and will flinch if someone makes contact with him, even by accident. This might sound extreme, but in Cambiel's mind, lust is the most dangerous sin of all. After all, it is how the Demon Lord controls her minions and infiltrates the hearts of men. Even Angels are not immune to its insidious influence, and he must be wary lest its corrupting tendrils snake their way into his thoughts and make him Fall, as has happened to far too many of his kin.

For the most part, Cambiel views monsters with pity, seeing them as victims of the Demon Lord and praying on their behalf that they will turn away from sin and towards one of the more accepted Gods. No-one is so sinful as to be unforgivable, just as no-one is so good as to have never sinned in the past.

Background:

In his usual line of work, Cambiel is something of a witch-hunter. When the Valkyries believe that there is a demon infestation affecting a settlement, but don't have enough information to handle it themselves, they send Cambiel. He disguises himself as a priest or monk, and quietly investigates the area for anything abnormal. Sometimes he gets lucky; an attractive young priest is a tempting target for demonic forces, and his enemies will expose themselves early trying to corrupt him. Other times, he has to investigate very closely, as his enemies rightfully fear the Church and its members.

His work has given him a reputation among the servants of the Chief God as a man who can get things done quietly. Sometimes he's even gone to work for Eros before (monster cults are devastating to the concept of true love), and once even performed a contract for Ares. When a holy person needs a job done subtly, they can be sure it is Cambiel who will execute it for them.

This reputation for subtlety is why he was chosen to accompany this task-force of monsters. The task is simple: work with the task-force and find out exactly why they are so keen on helping out a human settlement. They could just be hoping to hurt the Order, or trying to Trojan Horse their way back on to the island, but if there is something more insidious going on, the Valkyries need to know.

This mission also presents Cambiel with a unique challenge. Normally, his allegiance to the Chief God is always something he can be honest about, and it's his angelic nature that needs to be hidden. Now, it's the opposite: he doesn't need to hide that he is an Angel, but he does need to hide his loyalty to the Chief God. To this end, he claims to be a servant of Eros, the Goddess of Love - he is familiar enough with her rituals to make it convincing and has a good relationship with her servants despite their differences.

There is another, more personal, reason why Cambiel undertook this task. He has a theory. It's possible for a human, or elf, or dwarf, or even an angel to become a monster with enough exposure to demonic energy. Could the reverse also be true? Could one take a kobold or orc or salamander and remove the monster from them? He would like to believe so. The Demon Lord is not so powerful that she can rewrite their will completely. There is a chance, however small, that there is a sliver of humanity among these monsters, and if it is, Cambiel believes they can be redeemed.

He just needs to find it first.

FMG: Cupid or Houri

[Dark Cloud]

@Noblebandit Oh fuck I sense a competitor for the title of bestest boi. Also I legitimately fear for Sam's life.

[FrogRFlowR]

@PaulHaynek Added the ting. Thought about it, the forgot when I sent it. Oopsie.

@Noblebandit
Also - Angel yay. Literally Cupid lol.

[Noblebandit]

@Noblebandit Oh fuck I sense a competitor for the title of bestest boi. Also I legitimately fear for Sam's life.

@Dark Cloud

The Angel and the Devil, the Good and the Bad. Now we just need an Ugly.

[Dark Cloud]

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

The Angel and the Devil, the Good and the Bad. Now we just need an Ugly.

@Noblebandit

Sam is anything but bad but he's also a moron so...

[Dark Cloud]

@Hammerman from what I can tell just by reading your post that Sam asking to bunk with Luna will be well received as he seems just about the only person to compliment and not make fun of her. Plus! It'll be a great leap in the name of SCIENCE and who can say no to that?

[WanderingDragon]

@Noblebandit Well, this is gonna be interesting.

[Noblebandit]

@Noblebandit Well, this is gonna be interesting.

@WanderingDragon

In what way?

[Dark Cloud]

@Noblebandit Oh I think your the good, Sam's the bad and Wyn's the ugly. lol jk of course

[PaulHaynek]

@FrogRFlowR

Love her! Accepted and you can make your intro post.

@Noblebandit

Looks good but I think there's a bit of misunderstanding.

Eros (and Ares) are goddesses that actually accept monster adherents. The Order views this as suspicious (and Varjans outright hatred), but she's still part of the Pantheon and so, tolerates her.

I suggested that your Angel character masquerade as an Eros angel so as not to arouse suspicion because again, Eros is beloved by monsters who loves them back.

Also, look at @WanderingDragon's character. It'll definitely be interesting.

Anyway, I'm sure you can make those minor changes so you're good to go! You can make your intro post now.

@PaulHaynek

Ah, I knew I had forgotten something. That was always the plan, to have him masquerade as an agent of another God, but I plain forgot to include that detail in my backstory. I'll correct that now. Sorry for the mistake.

[Dark Cloud]

@Noblebandit Is Cambriel gonna make us bow our heads at dinner and preach abstinence, no fun. D:

lol jk

[FrogRFlowR]

Just to be sure I understood everything correctly. We are all still at the Harbour where the ship that is going to take us to the island is, or are we already on the ship?

[Dark Cloud]

@FrogRFlowR Still at the harbour.

[WanderingDragon]

@Noblebandit Oh I think your the good, Sam's the bad and Wyn's the ugly. lol jk of course

@Dark Cloud

What makes Wyn the ugly?
