Hi to all ^_^. I would like to take part in this RP, so here is my character sheet ready for critique and approval:

My Hider

(temp. till I find something better)
Theme Song:

Name: Kosara Duran
Gender:Female
Age: 37
Race: Half-demon

Appearance: Wears a shirt and a pair of jeans and doesn't have the sword from the picture.

Faction: Demon Hunter Organization

Personality: Kosara is a rather emotional person, she is prone to going into a trance while fighting, sometimes losing track of everything beside the fight. She loves fighting and defeating enemies, but what she loves most is killing demons. She despises them with a passion to rival a raging storm. Outside of combat she is rather hyperactive, always moving, always doing something. Likes to talk with people and ironically even with her enemies when she fights them. She rarely trust people outside of the organization. She likes reading a lot though. Probably the only time one can find her staying in one place without moving all around.

Bio: As most Half-demons, Kosara didn't have much of a happy childhood. She grew up only with her mother pushed herself well beyond what she should have, so she can raise her daughter. Kosara didn't have any friends and mostly spend her time at home with the occasional visit to the local library. She never really officially finished any kind of education. Every time she would start attending a school, something would pop up and she and her mother would have to move. That's why she educated herself alone as much as she could with the help of her mother. She learned to read, write and learned math as the books were her only friends.
Her mother was open with Kosara about her heritage and her father since she was just old enough to understand it. That's why the child knew she was a half-demon from an early age and knew the truth about the world – that humans weren't alone on this planet. That said her life changed when her mother was killed by a demon who picked Kosara's scent and traced it to her home. She was 17 at that time. It was that time she learned what her mother was actually working as – a demon hunter. The woman fought bravely, but she wasn't in her prime anymore. Against a rather strong demon and armed with only a sword she was eventually struck down, but she knew it would happen. So she gave up defense so she can take down the demon at the moment it strikes her.
After that event, Kosara took her mother's sword and started to work as a demon hunter also. At first she wasn't doing too great, but as she met more and more enemies, Kosara quickly got the hang of it as they say. She eventually decided to work for the Demon hunter organization after some years of freelancing, but her success with them has been rather shaky. Mostly due the fact she tends to cause massive amounts of collateral damage.

[Combat]

Powers and Abilities: (includes powers, special forms, and others)
•Devil Trigger: Unleashing her true demonic form, her body takes a somewhat unnatural figure at places while retaining a very humanoid appearance. Her skin turns blue, her hair changes into extremely hard elastic blades that can be manipulated and controlled at will to form protective armor around her neck and torso. Her arms get covered by sturdy scales and her legs transform into ones closer to a beast, but with extremely sharp and deadly claws. Around her head forms an extremely sturdy helmet like armor that covers her face entirely, blocking normal sight. This transformation has limited time use and grants additional strength, speed and endurance.
•Second sight: An ability that appeared after her first time using her Devil Trigger. Due the fact her demon form stops her eyesight, a method to compensate was present. She is able to sense the energy of the surroundings and people. With it she can easily see enemies and even the power distribution when they are preparing for attack, but she cannot see anything without energy in it. Thus simple thrown objects are invisible for her... so are normal bullets.

Style: (you can have multiple, or just one. This also includes the way you fight. You can also give it a fancy name if you’d like.)
•Sword lotus [LV1] – This is Kosara's main fighting style, it consists of balanced mix of attack and defense with heavy dependence on blocks and counters.
•Cascade [LV1] – This is style is her secret pleasure so to speak. It's all about attacks, it has no defensive moves, besides simple dodges. What's special about is the fact how each attack boosts the next one as you build up power with each strike, eventually causing huge devastation once enough power has been gathered. Problem with it is that the initial strikes are rather weak and power is lost if a strike is missed.

Equipment:
•Basilisk's eye- This one is Kosara's backup weapon that she rarely uses. It is a gauntlet with a big eye above the wrist. It has the effect of paralyzing the target for a moment after each fifth strike. May not work on bigger enemies or such with strong demonic powers.
•Mother's wish.- This is Kosara's main weapon. A long straight single edged sword with engraved blade. The runes across the blade glow blue when used in her Devil Trigger. She got it from her mother. The runes glow blue when used in her Devil Trigger.
•Sylph- A small crossbow that Kosara's has taken a liking to. It fires bolts charged with her demonic energy and is enchanted with the elemental powers of air.

Techniques: (Any special techniques? Simple or powerful)

• Sword Lotus:
-Sidestep[LV1]:A simple technique that allows her to move away from incoming attacks.
-Layered block[LV1]: Allowing for blocking multiple attacks with one move.
-Counter[LV1]: Fast counter attack that strikes nearly the same moment when the opponent struck.
• Cascade:
-Wing slash[LV1]: The only technique in this style. It unleashes all the stored energy in one powerful slash that creates a wind wave which strikes through everything it meets.
It nulls all stored energy. Requires a lot of energy to be stored first minimum of 15 strikes.
•Basilisk's eye:
-Stone gaze[LV1]: After hitting an enemy with the gauntlet 5 times, the target will be paralyzed for a moment.
-Basilisk's gaze[LV1]: Can black in incoming projectile attack and render it harmless if it's blocked precisely with the eye on the
gauntlet.
•Mother's wish:
-Air slash[LV1]: Each swing of this sword causes wounds a few inches beyond it's range as the wind propelled by the blade is sharp enough to cut.
-Whirl descend[LV1]: After jumping, Kosara spins rapidly in the air, causing a great number of slashes before she lands.
•Sylph:
-Wind blast[LV1]: After charging for a few seconds, the next bolt will have a small whirlwind around it, causing additional damage.
-Viper shot[LV1]: Using the power of wind, the bolt will be guided towards it's target. Takes a while to charge also.
•Devil Trigger:
-Lighting dash[LV1]: Incredibly fast movement technique that allow her to move to her enemy in matter of a moment.
-Blade armor[LV1]: Using her bladed hair in her Devil Trigger, she can form a sharp armor around her neck and torso.
-Wall walk[LV1]: While in Devil Trigger, she can walk up walls and ceilings for a short time.
-Blade Bloom[LV1]: If she so decide, she can force her bladed hair to grow violently and spred in all directions, attacking everything
around her in a few steps distance. Takes a lot of demonic energy, so her DT will vanish after using it.

Man. I think you guys really miss the point on devil triggers.

[rivaan]

it's possible I suppose. I mostly went by what I saw on the accepted CSs. It's been like good 2 years or so since I last played any dmc so my memory on the fine details is somewhat loose and with me barely having running internet I cant exactly go search it online. If I have to edit it, I will ^_^' As I said up for critiques.

[kapuchu]

@Hantu Kongkek
On the contrary, I haven't seen a single character that misses it. All of them adheres to the nature of Devil Triggers in the DMC universe, at least as far as I can see.

[Lugubrious]

Man. I think you guys really miss the point on devil triggers.

@Hantu Kongkek

The point is that Devil Trigger unleashes the character's true demonic form, right?

@Rivaan Anyway, Kosara seems mostly alright to me. I would advise taking another look at a few of her powers. For instance, I would recommend the removal of the weapon Chernabog entirely. In addition to Chernabog already being the name of a scythe used by Bayonetta, the abilities it has are enough to warrant a style completely its own. I don't think its necessary. In addition, you will want to change the description of Devil Trigger so that it has her assuming her full form, rather than tapping into power and altering appearance slightly.

I will begin working on a post shortly that really spices things up.

[Hantu Kongkek]

Gimme a few minutes, maybe a few hours. I'm going to tell you when you're wrong soon enough!

[rivaan]

@Lugubrious ohhh will remove it asap then ^_^' I don't own a console so I've never really played bayonetta mind you I've watched Let's play on the entire first game but haven't played it. As for the devil trigger well I can write it differently alright. Though considering the other examples of the skill like dante and virgil her demonic form will still be very human like. A thing of which I actually have a few pictures of how I imagine it. Even drew one, though can't upload it right now.

EDIT: Well I edited the CS with the points you mentioned.^_^

I would be interested to hear your feedback on any way I can improve.

@rivaan

No problem. Looking forward to seeing what you've got.

[rivaan]

@Lugubrious Tried to access my deviantart page >_< potato internet won't load it. Maybe tomorrow when I get to the library I will be able to do it. Dormitories without internet are hell @_@. Also not sure if you saw, but I edited the CS.

[Lmpkio]

@rivaan Ooh! Another half-demon! Looks like Gideon isn't alone after all lol otherwise it looks to me like your profile is good. I'll wait till the GM comes on before doing anything else though

[rivaan]

@Lmpkio so we will have a half demon on the side of the demons and one on the side of humans. Well that's going to be fun xD

Fun indeed lol

@Lugubrious
Lug, a question, if that's alright?

You (or rather, Buer) said in your previous post that he had tried to do the whole "Demon Contract" thing, but was tricked by a human. I'm wondering, does this mean that Demons in general can make pacts with humans, or does it need a certain kind of demon?

@kapuchu

Any demon with sufficient intelligence and power can make a pact, but typically only the very intelligent and very powerful do. Only witches and other master occultists really have the know-how and ability to set up such a pact, however. So a better way to say it might be: it doesn't necessarily need to be a certain kind of demon, but there are specific tendencies, and there does typically need to be a certain kind of human. Your everyday teenager can't stumble on an evil book in a pawnshop and summon a demon, for instance.

[kapuchu]

@Lugubrious
Damn, no edgy emo teenager to do deals with xP

That being said, the next obvious question is: Could Player Characters do it? Like Blair or Lily? Both seem to be in the "Intelligence" department of Hell (Sorry Fenn). DMC wiki does state that only certain powerful demons can take on human forms, and since both Blair and Lily have human forms... Is it the same minimum requirement, so to speak, or does the "Demon Contract" require a more powerful demon than even that?

@kapuchu

Human form is a sort of restraint on power. Only powerful demons can do it for the sake of stealth and deception, I imagine. Still, I imagine that they could.

Keep in mind we're doing contracts the Bayonetta way: it's not 'a demon agrees to do x and whatever x is happens if the human pays up.' In Bayonetta, the contracted demons are physically at the contractor's beck and call. Bayonetta summons her demons physically to the battlefield, through portals, to attack. Humans less powerful than her would have less control over their demons, but still, it's not terrible advantageous for demons, so there's not really a good reason to do so.

[kapuchu]

@Lugubrious
Still sounds interesting. Honestly, Lily might actually be willing to do it with someone, if only to learn from the experience.

[Zarkun]

@EnterTheHeroI'm going to go ahead and move on with Wrath. Just shoot me a PM or something if you would like us to stick together.
