Will I get to be evil as ****?
Anyone planning on posting besides Al?
I just posted! Also, I have to ask; is Baalthar likely to have info about Maria's whereabouts? I know he'd know this and that, being pretty 'mobile', but I want to make sure I won't step into metagaming xD
Choices...
Why do we frequently question them?
Objectives...
Why do we so inherently follow them?
Questions...
Why do we always make them?
No matter if you are human, demon, angel or what have you, those often come disturb your thoughts and they were no different in Baalthar's case. The ever glowing, crystalline eyes glanced upon the vast land, his expression the never changing pokerface that showed absolutely no emotion. His eyes, no matter how lively their color may be, always carried this unchanging lifeless look on them. They ran over the buildings currently on sight - and what a sight, luxury at it's finest, all under the ownership of a single man - or well, his family. Cross. How ironic that a word which meant something very delicate to those who were religious, could be understood as a sign of power and fear when it's in front of an individual's first name.
Baalthar's slender fingers ran across the hilt of the Umbra Regis, the powerful shadow blade. A sigh. A blink of his eyes. A deep, unnecessary breath. The man took a few steps forward and inclined forward, resting his elbows at the balcony of one of the windows. Out of all choices Baalthar had, he took the least expected one; to offer his sword and power to a such a disgusting being - namely known as Marcus Cross. And even with his tactically thought reasoning behind such choice, questions still ran his mind - and rather frequently. Perhaps it was due to the one thing Baalthar dreaded the most; serving. As he commonly said, Baalthar would never serve, and he did state that very clearly. He wasn't under Marcus' orders, no, he was offering his aid in request of the same, all because they both strived towards the same goal.
... Or not. Baalthar's goals involved Lily Brightendale and the Lux Regis, the angel was a matter of petty vengeance, while the light sword, oh, now that was a true objective. This blade rivaled Umbra Regis in power, and Baalthar could still perfectly remember the words he found engraved onto a stone, right next to the Umbra Regis when he first found it:
"Thy who wields both light and dark, in each hand, will possess the power to reign above all."
And that was what motivated his search, his desire to obtain the only piece missing to achieve the power he always dreamed with, the power to conquer, to reign... But, things weren't easy. He spent the last few years searching for any trace of the Lux Regis, but there wasn't a single clue, nothing that could put him in the right direction. So, he came to the thought that perhaps, someone could've found it - and since there wasn't any destructive, uncommon behavior, it could've been someone who was good willed... An Athalian, for example. This is the reason Baalthar sided with Marcus, if he attacks Athalia and someone retaliates with brute power - the kind of power that belonged to the wielder of the Lux Regis, for example, Baalthar would finally know, and he'd finally know where to strike to obtain what he desired for so long.
Baalthar's weakly slammed his hand down - it was a mixture of frustration, for once more spending so much time thinking about his goal, but having yet to take action that brought him close to it.
"And who, pray tell, told you that you had permission to stand up there?" A feminine voice rang from below Bael's perch. "Come down at once, demon." She barked, turning back to walk to the center of the tower. The woman was none other than Lauren Cross, the wife of the owner of the mansion. She rubbed the bridge of her nose as she waited for him to come down.
"Hm?"
Without actually looking back to see where the voice was coming from, the young man simply stood where he was; not moving his body with the intent to leave, at all. All he did was roll his shoulders, giving the woman a scoff.
"Demon? You're selling me short."
Slowly, Baalthar's body became a mass of shadows which dissipated into nothingness, reappearing directly behind the woman - with his back turned to her.
"And the day I need... permission to be somewhere has yet to come."
"Riiight." She responded, drawing out the syllable. "Regardless, Marcus would like to speak with you. I'd head there at once, you know... Should it please you're... 'demon'ness." She continued, raising her brows in a carefree manner. With a shrug, she wandered down the stairs, short white hair bouncing as she did.
Marcus meanwhile, stood in his study, pacing too and fro, grumbling about the incident with the sea serpant. He sighed. He really hoped she'd explained that he needed to go to the meeting room to meet him via com rather than for him to come directly to his study. He wasn't in the mood to deal with the demon's 'better than thou' attitude. He just wanted something done.
"Very well." Baalthar replied, when it was stated that Marcus wanted to speak with him. Without further ado, the demon began making his way towards the meeting room and once there, he simply stood still, leaning his shoulder against the nearest wall, his arms folded in front of his chest. He said nothing, yet, as it wasn't him who wanted to chat around.
With a sigh, Marcus walked over to the com unit, a computer with a camera that linked up to the other room and pressed the 'Play' button on the front end. In both rooms, the screens lit up revealing either side, though Marcus' was hazy as best.
"I need you to go and spy on my dear old sister for me. Should be easy enough and you're probably already curious about her. Don't let her see you but keep an eye on her. Report to me using the stone on the desk near you every afternoon. If you don't report after two days, I'll send someone in after you. Is that clear?" He spoke, not stopping for plesantries or explanation as to why he wanted her spied on.
All Baalthar did was listen intently, not saying a single word, as he found it a waste of time. After the man was done, he simply made his way over to the desk, picking up the likely magical stones that would enable him to comunicate with Marcus, then left the room. It took a few seconds for him to become a moving mass of shadows that instantly left the Cross' mansion.
Now, let's see what I may find useful about his... sister.
@Nero, you still in this?
Yo, sorry for not posting the character, at all. I saw a flock of others, so I thought that it'd be for the better to not join the RP, as it may move too fast and I'm not exactly the greatest example of speed/activy around, heh!

|Clan - Bloodline|
Seitsugen used to be a pacific, but powerful clan. They have no bloodline, but they were somewhat known for their hidden ability that was used to summon spiritual animals that could help and aid them in combat. The clan was also known for their ability to push their own bodies' limits using these spirit animals' strength, but this is a dangerous technique and very rarely used by them.

|Appearance|
Reiko dresses simply. She wears a black jacket with her clan's kanji inscribed on the back and a plain white shirt underneath. Dark green pants cover her legs until they are tucked onto a pair of black ninja sandals. Some satchels can be seen on her waist, as well a smaller one on the side of her left thigh.
||Personal Information||
|Personality|
Serious, cold and stoic. Her eyes seem lifeless and one could likely assume that she's as distracted as a wall; that's not true, though. It's quite the opposite. Despite her apathic nature, Reiko is excellent at observation and she takes mental notes of nearly everything that happens to her. She's intelligent and tactical, nearly by nature, and often gives every single of her actions extra thought. She's not reckless in the slightest and knows her limits very well - though, that's not to say she's not willing to push them further.
Reiko is dedicated and focused, she dreams of becoming sufficiently powerful to make her clan's name known across the whole shinobi world. To some, that is a void, empty dream but to Reiko, it's everything she has to strive for. The death of her parents have changed a lot about her, she seems less caring about company and friendship and will often state how she finds those a waste of time; to her, the only manner of getting stronger is through fighting, learning and training.
History
Before telling Reiko's story, one should know before the story of the Seitsugen clan. This clan used to be a pacific yet powerful clan that resided in the outskirts of Konohagakure, having a very small village of their own, they made a living with agriculture, trading and craftwork. Despite this, most of their members trained heavily between themselves and always aimed to improve their abilities. They also followed a very spiritual lifestyle, believing deeply in the existance of spirit animals that protected them from any danger... Until.
A disgrace happened that changed completely the Seitsugen clan. Their small settlement was invaded by a group of rogue ninjas that stole for a living. This wasn't the first time this happened though, as a powerful clan, they could defend themselves easily from most who tried to steal from them... This group, however, they were different - from their vicious look to their cruel ways, as well as their immense power. When they came, those who tried to face them were brutally killed and all that was left was either burnt by their powerful Katon ninjutsu, or only bloodied body parts.
The strongest Seitsugen hurried to battle, between those warriors was Reiko's father; enraged after the loss of his wife to those horrible bandits. He used the clan's most dangerous technique, which was to infuse his spirit with the the dragon's spirit: this increased his power beyond comprehension, he could move at speeds which even the trained eyes of those rogue-nin couldn't keep up, his punch could utterly destroy the insides of whoever dared stand in it's path and his ninjutsu was so powerful, that he could produce entire rivers of water from his own chakra.
This man, known as Uruka Seitsugen, together with three other Seitsugen, saved their clan remaining members. However, they gave their own life to it: This was the power and the cost of the clan's Fukikomimasu technique, which used their faith and the spirit of an animal that watched over them to convert this spirit into power; the cost, was that the energy was so volatile that it took the user's life-force when it ended.
Now, we move onto Reiko's story. She was born four years before the incident, and only survived because her grandmother hid together with the young child and only left their hideout when the bandits had been slaughtered. Akayama was the mother of Reiko's mother, and an immensively strong woman. She hugged her granddaughter, without allowing a single tear to drop from her eyes in front of the child. But, there was only so little she could do; this event marked the young girl for her whole life. It literally took all sense of feelings from her, as she saw every single happy moment she had lived until this point... dead, in front of her.
After this, Akayama took Reiko and brought her to Konohagakure, she explained what happened to the guards and after a long discussion and a large amount of yen being thrown around, she was allowed to move inside - not only that, she immediately bought a house within the village. It wasn't honorable to do such with the money of the many fallen Seitsugen, but it was the only option she had to give her granddaughter a safer life.
Eventually, as Reiko grew up, she developed the undying desire of seeing this world living peacefully, just like her clan used to before the incident. However, she noticed that in order to do such, she'd need to adquire an immense power, sufficient to destroy everything that she deemed evil. That's how she got herself enrolled in the academy and proved to be a very skilled young girl. Luckily, she wasn't relying only on the academy to learn something, but from her grandmother's advices and trainings as well, such as the clan's hidden techniques.
Because of this, she easily graduated with very high grades, and now, officially a genin, she's set on her desire to go further and obtain the power she craves to use it against all that's evil.

Name of Technique: Spirit Call - Rabbit
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: E~A (Depends on user's ability, currently: C)
Range: Self
Nature Type: Yang Release (Hidden)
Handseals: Dog, Hare
Description: The user concentrates not only their chakra but also their spirit, summoning forth a creature that can aid them in combat. The rabbit is the most basic spirit animal that the Seitsugen can call forth, they are used to track and scout.

====================
Name of Technique: Spirit Merge - Rabbit
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu (?)
Rank: E~A (Depends on user's ability, currently: C)
Range: Self
Nature Type: Yang Release (Hidden)
Handseals: Hare, Dog
Description: If the spirit animal - rabbit - is currently summoned, it will be used as a source of power for a Sentsugen clan member. After the handseals, the user extends it's palm towards the spirit animal and absorbs it's chakra back onto their body, however, with added spiritual energy, it will increase the user's speed temporarily. Each spirit animal has a different effect and the rabbit is the weakest one. The speed increase depends on the user's ability, currently, Reiko can only achieve the speed of a very fit shinobi, but it will tire her a lot after use.
Weakness: Large cost, all of the spirit merge hidden techniques cause a temporary negative effect within the user's body. For example, using this technique more than thre times a day can lower all of Reiko's resistance to diseases such as the common flu, and she'll need to rest for a long time after.
