The Demon Within (modern day demons role play)

[Lady Seraphina]

There are three classes of demons.

The Jinn: Those that exist as smoke and fire and though can wreck havoc in this form prefer to seek out a host which they can increase the power of significantly.

Then there are the traditional demons, Horns and claws and hellfire and whatnot.

After that are the very powerful demons in class with the fallen angels that first populated hell. These have a monstrous form but can possess a human when required.

The one I'll be playing is a Jinn. And yes that looks much better. Though I'd imagine it would take some time before they fully trusted you.

Nationality: Extranational, considers himself a member of all nations and at the same time, a member of none.

Biography: It's an interesting thing to have your life turned utterly and completely upside down. When he was younger Jacob was just your normal everyday stoner and casual student. Going through his life day to day, job day by job day and class by class. He was in fact the last person you would expect to manage to get a doctorate, let alone become a Rune Mage and Smoke Mage as well.

He was "awakened" to the world of magic when he was almost killed by a rogue lycan attack on a camping trip. He got away alive, but realized the arts of magic and the world of the supernatural. It opened his eyes, and sent him on the path of the mage and scholar. Just so happens he did it in such a way that fit his lifestyle.

Trivia:

Carries a pistol made of runic acceptable metals and materials, onto which runes can be printed that change the aspect of the shot.

Carries special carbon pencil that is magically enhanced, to be used to write runes on hard surfaces, and with concentration can trace runes onto the air itself.

Also carries a pack of cigarettes with him at all times. His cancer-sticks are there for when he has to calm his nerves, or in a pinch, cast smoke spells and runes if his pencil is out of action. Though Smoke Magic is incredible sketchy and can be very unspecific.

I read through that and honestly don't feel like I know a thing about this guy. He's a smoke mage and rune user, he likes to smoke and he's real laid back. That about all the information contained there.

Tell me something about this guy that I wouldn't know from seeing him walk down the street. What are his likes, dislikes, what does he do for fun, what is his home life like, does he have any siblings, what are his parents like, where was he born since even that isn't there, what do you mean by life being turned upside down, how was he recruited by D.I.S. I want to be able to identify with this guy, know a few things about him cause at the moment for all the words in your app there isn't a whole lot there.

Oh and I updated the app, it's on the OOC.

Name: Cian Machello

Field name: Listener

Age: 30

Position: Field agent/Investigator

Time served on team: 3 years

appearance

Role: Cian´s main work is the one of intel gathering. Due to his ability to "hear" magic, first-hand knowledge of occult lore and experience with divinations, he is used to both, terrain work as a detector and to desk work as a consultant.

Race: human

Special ability or expertise: Ability to (limitedly) predict, find and identify magical incursions

Nationality: British

Biography

There was a time when Cian was just a normal teenage boy. Yes, he had some family problems (his mother was Irish and his father was Italian, so nobody could really expect that their relationship will be all that sunny) and he did some shit sometimes (like when he threw brick at the police officer in one of the demonstrations he took part in) but nothing really serious. Until he found this girl, Emily. Where devil can´t go, he sends a woman, they say.
She was beautiful and Cian had immediately fallen for her. Needless to say he has fallen really deep, to the very bottom, to tell the truth. With girl came parties, with parties came alcohol and drugs and after drugs and alcohol there is only one real taboo left. Occultism, Satanism and tantric magic happened to be Cian´s daily breath. Cian not only dealt with Devil, he even shared a bottle with him and then took him to the bed. It wasn´t that long and he was called "new" Aleister Crowley.

Couple of years were like this (surprising that he was still alive), when he started to sober up. He saw his reflection in a mirror and it frightened him nearly to death. Cian remembered himself as a young lively guy, but in the mirror there was only a human wreck you could only feel pity for.
He didn´t want anything like this, he just wanted to enjoy his life, but that life was no longer his, he was just an empty vessel, a puppet of forces far above him. Cian swore to himself he will change it, that he will be his own master once again. He packed his things, determined to run as far away as he could, but he was stopped by Emily. She wanted to keep him with her, even if she had to kill him to do so. Cian was forced to fight for his life and in the end, he was even forced to kill her, but no sooner than she could cast a curse him.

The curse that has befallen him was subtle one. Just a whispers in the back of his head. A senseless choir of silent voices that only he could hear. The curse was subtle but no less terrible. Few weeks passed and his sanity suffered severe injuries. He had to either keep himself drunk like an Irish pub, to silent the voices, or at least wear a pair of headphones with loud music to yell over them.
But voices weren´t all, he had also dreams, terrible dreams, bloody and surreal. He dreamed of severe murders, terrible and mystical ones. At first he thought it was just another way to harm his mental health, but those murders he dreamed of were really happening.
He decided to follow his dreams and started to investigate murders on his own. He was looking for clues and interrogated witnesses, trying to finish the picture his dreams gave him. During his investigation, he noticed an interesting thing. Voices in his head seemed to react on some things he had found, sometimes it was like if they argued with themselves, sometimes it was more like a humorous chatter. Their reaction helped Cian a great deal with establishing new connections.
During this, it was also the first time he get in touch with D.I.S. At first, they thought he was the killer, even locked him up, but when murders continued, they have released him and even let him to help.
With Cian´s knowledge and D.I.S. resources it was only a while until they found the killer a delivered him justice. After that, Cian was offered to be more permanent part of the team.

Personality: Due to his interesting life and unpleasant curse that befallen him, he isn´t exactly ideal of tranquility. He is eccentric, to say the least, with theatrical manners (and gestures). He can be little bit moody, most of the time balancing between an enthusiastic savant and a cocky bastard. He might not be most professional individual and he might have some issues with chain of command, but Cian is fully dedicated to his work, be it the only thing he has in his life. He has hard time with focusing on job, but when he finally bites to it, there is nothing that can stop him, be it another living being or even he himself. Because past experiences, he is also trying to keep distance from others and his trust is really hard to gain.

Trivia:

[Lady Seraphina]

Two questions, first was Emily possessed? Second how much of that back story does the D.I.S know about?

[Zherdee]

Not posessed, more like obsessed. They know he had somes dealing with cultists and satanists, but he kept most of the details to himself.

[Lady Seraphina]

Other than some minor grammatical problems it looks great.

[Zherdee]

Sorry for that. I am still kinda amateurish around English, but I will try to keep mistakes at minimum.

[Lady Seraphina]

Don't worry about it, it's perfectly legible.

[Minarawr]

So I was thinking of making a hybrid, human experiment if you will. Would this be allowed?

[Lady Seraphina]

Depends entirely on two things, what kind of human hybrid is it and why is the D.I.S not killing it on sight.

[Satsuki]

Allow me to voice my interest. It has been quite some time since I have used a forum so please forgive any taboos. I shall create an CS for you.

[Minarawr]

She would be able to manipulate her bones in multiple ways such as; enhanced regeneration, rapid growth, shape and density alteration. Basically she can manipulate her bones to attack and defend with and mend them extrordinarily fast for a human.
Her weakness would be a lack of control over bones that have been seperated from her main skeletal structure. As such, bones broken inside her body would be extremely difficult to get out (due to her connected bones regenerating) and even pose the danger of piercing her organs due to the regrowing bones pushing them away.
Also, she has no real defense against any type of magic or mental attack, making her quite vulnerable against creatures with magical abilities.

As for the reason the D.I.D wouldn't kill her, I was thinking of asking if she could be created by the government's research department.
Otherwise I'd like to say she has a burning hatred towards demons due to an implanted memory that her family was killed by them.

[Lady Seraphina]

You still didn't answer my question, if she's a human hybrid were did the other half come from.

Also hating demons is not a valid reason to be recruited for a government black ops division.

[Minarawr]

Well the word hybrid was a bit mis-used I suppose. More or less a human experiment, actually.

Yeah I had to think about it some more I suppose. I could use some help with it, if you don't mind.
If it was allowed that she was created by the government she would be programmed that way.

[Lady Seraphina]

Sure but I'm going to need more information. How about you write up a rough CS and I'll give you some pointers.

[Minarawr]

Alrighty, I'll try to find my way to a pc somewhere today, kay?

[Lady Seraphina]

Soooooooo... about that CS.
