@VitaVitaAR

Lemme know if I need to bump up the power a bit, but I was intending on going with a lower-tier power level to start with. I think everything else should be good though, but lemme know if I can't have the Raiju as a somewhat separate entity.

@Riffus Maximus: That contract is a bit too vague. It should be modeled on an actual mythological entity specifically, not just a vague archetype.

Additionally, her backstory's a bit of a mess. If she failed to become a police officer, it'd be a lot harder then that to get into the JSDF.

@Emeth: As mentioned, it should be a specific type of supernatural creature, either one with a specific name or a specific type. Draw from mythology.

@Rune_Alchemist: Accepted.

@vietmyke: Feel free to ask questions!

@Emeth: Hmmm. I'm not 100% sure on Kali, just because Kali's a top deity of the Indian pantheon. That being said, contracts can, for all kinds of reasons, start degraded, so potentially not as big of an issue, I need to think about this one a bit more.

I will point out that a disaster like that would be Titan-class rather then Devil-class, as Devil-class Demons are still in the realm of being beaten by a department rather then requiring multiple departments to work together.

Learning curves and power creep are fun. I'm down for either a temporary or permanent nerf if you think she needs one. I'll leave it up to you whether or not she's the Kali, or a clever impostor. Like I said, it doesn't matter to me where she ranks. I can play the hotshot newbie with an undeserved A rank, or the girl who hates demons more than anyone but got tricked into a contract with one. If it's worth anything, I like playing characters who make mistakes and take a lot of punishment instead of overpowering stuff, hence the wimpy first draft.

Would it be more appropriate for the department's attention to be drawn away by a Titan, then? I'd like her archenemy to be a Devil so she can at least fool herself into thinking she could take him alone. Her decision to hunt demons alone doesn't make much sense otherwise, I think.

@Emeth: Dealing with a Titan makes a lot more sense.

As for the first part, I'm on the fence still, mostly due to the fact that I realized keeping people from using any major names is kind of boring, but I'm just a bit uncertain if I want to stick with Kali for you.

But power scaling for contracts is a thing too, so starting lower and eating demon souls will give you more power.

@VitaVitaAR Is it possible for multiple demons to appear together? Surely two devils together could overwhelm the local DDF. But it sounds like you intend for Emergence Gates to be an individual thing.

I'm working on a character btw, hope to post it soon.

@Quartz: It also massively depends on the DDF's staff, the descriptions are a very generalized thing just to give an idea of power we're working with.

The main point is two Devils is still in the realm of potentially being handled by one to two departments.

I'm considering reworking the descriptions for a couple of classes of Demons a bit, but it was kind of hard to get an idea of how to convey their intended threat level. It was also intended as a bit of "these are dangerous enough that you shouldn't be dumb and risk your life trying to take them solo".

I'll try and figure out how to clarify a bit. To be sure, Devils are highly dangerous, but Departments can take them on and certain Contractors can have a very good chance against them.

Hm. HMM.

Okay, I really like Kali, but if you do end up deciding that deities are off limits, I did come up with another idea today that I could try.

Azazel, the Scapegoat. Take a more "bullied kid" approach to her backstory and personality. Can summon hands still, but only one or two. Could do something with the laying on of hands ritual (curses?) and summon chains of darkness to bind enemies and cause general havok. Sacrificial decoy dolls could also be a thing, to draw enemy fire (and maybe cast hexes? I like hexes).

It's a complete 180 in tone at this point but I like non-gloomy dark mages and can always do another.

@Emeth: I also have some alt multi-arm suggestions. Sorry if this is taking so long though, I'm just trying to settle on my stance. ^^;

@RolePlayerRoxas: Accepted.

It's been a day, haha. In RPG time that's like, a few minutes.

I'm curious about your suggestions though.

After much contemplation, my character!

I also went with a named mythological being, but I imagine this one is less problematic.

Asura are very thematically similar. Just, you know, not Kali-level of destructiveness and overkill. xD
