@PlatinumSkink Sorry, but I think I might need to pull out of this, or at least go on hiatus - things have me really bogged down at the moment due to teachers dumping a bunch of last-minute assignments on us ;-;

@Demon Shinobi Would you prefer a mage rook or illusionist rook? :D

Small Town of Wizards and Witches!

@Avemelle No worries :3 I'll be here if ya need me!

@Demon Shinobi I was actually thinking of changing Ekibe's powers anyways to make her fit in more as a rook, though it'd be best to suss out positions beforehand, just so that I don't need to do extra work ^-^ The positions I imagine Ekibe fitting are:

- Bishop as a dancer, using dance to power up allies and weaken enemies.

- Knight as a Holy Sword user, using Joyeuse and acting as a more defensive knight.

- Rook as a cloning illusionist, summoning multiple copies of herself to beat the crap out the baddies. Either that or follow through with the cards and make them more versatile so she's a magic rook c:

I believe I responded to everyone who tagged me, so yeah, read away! :3

As is a few things needs to be made clear in my opinion I do find some of the abilities interesting but as of now a bit to much for the moment. With that said dxd lore states that divine beings can not be turned into a piece also on the topic goddess in human skin is different from being born of a goddess and a human which would be a demigod. Beyond that I like the char I really do but I feel like some parts needs to be fixed a bit more though it is up to Demon in the long run.

Side note I love your icon Haru is great one of my favorite chars in persona 5.

@Suku

Ahh yes, I knew something would crop up ^-^ There's a problem with DxD lore if Divine Beings can't be made into evil pieces, though:

Rossweisse! :D Now I'm not an expert on both DxD lore nor real life Norse mythology, but a quick google search found that Rossweisse, a full-blooded Valkyrie, became a rook. Valkyries, according to another quick google search, are actually goddesses themselves, so surely a demi-god would fit under acceptable if that were the case :3 And yes, for some reason I couldn't think of the word demi-god, so that one's on me XD

And thank you! ^-^ Haru is by far the best waifu ;)

After a more detailed read. Somethings are a problem

Demons are devils, they are the same race, therefore what does banishment entitle? Forced teleportation away?

"As demons and devils are still members of the same race, demons possess all the average powers and abilities as devils (increased physical abilities, enhanced senses, see in the dark, flight, & language"

Quote from wiki.

Secondly, Gateway needs a to be penetrable by outside forces.

Thirdly, it mostly just comes down to clarifying things most of this can be sorted with a bit more detail on the ins and outs of some things.

@1Charak2

Banishment = Death, quite simply ^-^ If I were to use an example, think Asia's holy water and it's effects on devils. For the low-level devils, it would take a lot less light than, say, an archdemon (who could probably think of it as a mere irritation). So banishment would be an exorcist term used to describe the incineration of a devil from over-exposure to holy light c:

As for demons being devils, I tend to use both rather loosely, so yeah, that's just me not being technical enough :3

That can easily be done: once the portal is open, it stays that way until everyone inside it leaves ;)

Ahh yes, clarification, my old nemesis XD I'm perfectly happy to go over the app as it is in more detail, though it might take awhile. I wrote it in a pretty tired state, so I'd be more than happy to go over it this afternoon when I'm more awake :P

@Demon Shinobi
Aww Christ XD I don't know if you can tell, but I begun writing this as a Bishop, with her original power going to be dance c: When I saw that was taken I thought of a knight with a holy sword, since that wasn't taken, but when I found out it was reserved i cant read ;-; I was like "then I'll try for a magic rook!"

As you can see, it's not the easiest to churn out :D I'll be sure to make any necessary changes :3

...Kohana might just challenge Ekibe to a dancing contest. The fox can give her a run for money as far as dancing goes. That Glaive of hers can be used in a number of creative ways during dancing, heh~

@Rune_Alchemist

Ekibe won't need a pole to show what she's capable of ;) Also just a warning for Kohana: Ekibe is persistent when it comes to wanting to pet her XD

@Rune_Alchemist

I read through everything but everyone's weakness XD Maybe I should make Ekibe more of a slow-moving magical tank then? :D

Deal with the Devil: A High School DxD RP

@1Charak2 I wanted something magical that fit well enough with the rook, which can be offensive and defensive, so that's why they're so versatile :D Only downside is there's only 50 of them, and they don't make for very good armour XD

@Polaris North I like those ideas a lot ^-^ We'll have to wait and see if I'm approved yet, because I might be more of a queen than a rook atm :3

Deal with the Devil: A High School DxD RP

@Polaris North That would be quite an interesting way for her to be found, and add a bit of history for at least one member of the cast c:

And now you have a glass cannon rook ^-^ That is if you'll have me? @Demon Shinobi

Ekibe Djeserit

---

Ekibe Djeserit

---

At School

"Allow my cards to show you that raw strength isn't everything."

---

Age: 18; her induction into the family is little less than a half a year now.
Gender: Female
Race: Human-Goddess-Devil Incarnate hybrid. No, it's not as powerful as you think.
Ranking: Mutated Rook.
Appearance: She stands at roughly 5'6, though do not let her height deceive you. Ekibe's strength lies in her mind, not her body. Being the descendant of Hathor, she carries an air of femininity about her, and her body certainly shows it. With a stunning natural beauty, athletic body, and magic ability, one could almost mistake her for a Queen. Albeit this is not the case, and Ekibe tends to use these misunderstandings to her advantage...

---

Skills:
- Athletic: Ekibe has quite an athletic frame, and while it isn't awfully strong, her agility is rather impressive. She's an especially sporty student, though her main focus is dancing, and so her footwork is really quite tremendous.
- Dancing: Try as you might, nobody can quite beat Ekibe's dancing prowess. In fact if it weren't for her father being an exorcist, this is likely the type of magic she would have developed. Though she understands the potential in learning magic attune to dance, she so far has to protect the magic she currently posses before advancing onto something new. That being said, in terms of just plain dancing, she's pretty fantastic!
- Charming: There's an aura about Ekibe which is intoxicating for both men and women alike. Something about her tends to tug towards people's desires, and in that regard she does well as a client. It doesn't help that she knows it and enjoys showing off, either.
- A Stomach of Infinite Proportions!: By far Ekibe's most "impressive skill" by her own standards, she can eat just about anything, and a lot of it! It's the only thing that really turns people off of her, since she appears more demon than human when at a feast. A side-effect of this superpower is an inability to gain weight and bragging rights. This also applies for alcohol consumption.

Sacred Gear: N/A

Magic:
- The Cards: Inherited from both her mother and father, Ekibe has learned how to manipulate talismans -- cards -- to create both holy light and banish demons. This is her strongest area of magic, as it's versatility to be used offensively and defensively makes her a valuable rook. Individually, they can be used to set traps, banish low-level demons, blind opponents with light, or cause debuffs. When more than individual cards are used, however, she can channel light to make powerful holy beams, banish stronger demons (given enough time), create large-scale explosions, and even summon an angelic spirit. The cards themselves simply channel holy light, so it really comes down to how many you use to increase their effectiveness, although a card will need to be recharged with sunlight during the day once it's power is used. Ekibe can only hold a maximum of 50 cards on her person, and can no longer touch the cards herself due to her incarnation as a demon. She uses simple magic she inherited from her mother to levitate cards (oddly the levitation is restricted to her cards).
- Illusion Magic: A magic she has only recently begun to explore, at the tutelage of her King, Tsumiki. Ekibe shows some natural talent in this particular field, though lacks a lot of the time to commit to it fully. She shows promise, though hasn't made much progress yet due to a busy schedule.
- Dance Magic: Though she's aware she has inherited it, Ekibe hasn't awoken to it's power yet, and lacks the time to dedicate herself to it.
- Gateway: The Gateway is an interesting kind of magic, as Ekibe has no real idea as to why she can even access it. At a moment's notice Ekibe can summon a portal to another plane of existence, in which lay a realm of an endless autumn sunset. There is a small, abandoned cottage which she uses as a getaway home. The place is extremely scenic and Ekibe uses it whenever she needs to calm herself. It's purpose is unknown, though works well as a training ground and area of relaxation. It requires her unwavering focus to open and maintain the portal there, so using it in combat for a getaway is out of the question.
- Joyeuse: The holy sword Joyeuse is an odd piece of work. For one, the sword is almost entirely committed to defensive powers. Ekibe was handed Joyeuse from her father when she was young, and has become an expert in wielding it. What sets the sword apart from the other holy swords is its impressive shield-creating ability, something which makes it more of a rook's best friend than a knight. Surrounding a target in a powerful holy light, Joyeuse is capable of stopping nothing less than the Holy Sword Durandal, although against wielders of holy magic it's virtually useless. The sword limits the wielder and foes to using only one kind of magic (assuming they're capable of more than one in their arsenal), and so Ekibe only draws it as a last line of defense.

Strengths:
- Extreme Magic Potential: As a rook, Ekibe's role is offensive and defensive tactics, however her versatility doesn't lie in her physical strength. Her most dangerous weapon is her card magic, and she is a formidable mage capable of tackling a Queens' defense if necessary. Her holy sword gives her the edge at the last minute and allows her to cover the role of an inexperienced knight. She has plenty of magic potential for both illusions and dance, which would cover the role of a bishop, too, if she mastered it. It's needless to say her raw strength is formidable.
- Intelligence: Tactics is the name of the game for Ekibe. Despite being a powerhouse in her own right, she prefers engaging enemies on her own terms, and is a great trapper. Her keen sense for tactics allow a level head when it's needed and she can improvise at the worst of times. Her mind is more valuable to her than her body.

Weaknesses:
- One-Shot Kill: Now because of her varied magical abilities, one might think that she's overpowered, however please consider that she only has the body of a normal human. She's weaker than a pawn defensively and just about anyone who can get to her can take her out. Joyeuse's magical barriers cannot be used to defend herself, either. This means if Ekibe takes an attack which could defeat a human, she's done for.
- Instability: Despite her incredible smarts, Ekibe has a mental stability problem, which can lead to dangerous consequences if left unchecked. Her mind is fragile, and so illusions or mental attacks will leave her essentially out of commission. This is part of the reason why she's training in illusion magic. She's also been shown to get anxious in times of extreme pressure, and generally cannot think properly if left this way. Lastly, Joyeuse has a tendency to leave it's wielder... broken sometimes. This has happened to Joyeuse in the past and stems from using the blade too much. If this happens she may very well go insane, with the only cure to pry Joyeuse from her cold, dead hands.
- Flightless: Despite Ekibe's induction as a demon, she can't seem to fly, whether she wishes to or not. This can be largely disadvantageous when it comes to escaping, as she lacks vertical mobility. Not only this, she also doesn't have additional strength or speed like most demons, and is solely human in terms of her physical ability. She may be overpowered by a rook, outskilled by a knight, or outclassed by a Bishop's defense.
- Angel Lover: Her affinity with light is so high that it's something of a beacon for Angels of both kinds in the vicinity, though due typically this refers to Fallen Angels. She's hard-pressed to hide when her entire being radiates a corrupted light.
- Prone to Emotions: At the threat of those she cares about, Ekibe can become hotheaded. Her emotions tend to take over at the worst possible times, which lead to great improvisation, but a horrible sense of judgement. If she can help it she will shield those she cares about with her own body, or give everything she has to save someone else. She's been trying to get this under control for awhile now, but with little success...

Personality: Ekibe Djeserit is quite the femme fetale when she tries. She has the charming self-confidence to back up her admirable figure, and tends to act the part a majority of the time. Both men and women alike just can't seem to get enough of the succubus in disguise, and she likes having all that attention.

Emotional, poetic, and smart, Ekibe puts up an impressive front of greatness. Yet deep within herself she buries her troubles, only ever expressing them when she's alone, beyond the Gateway. She finds great pleasure in teasing others, yet preserves her womanhood for the future. Always thinking ahead, nothing she does is ever without careful consideration unless she's particularly emotional, and often leave people thinking she's planning to do something. She has a diehard devotion to her mother, seeing to a personal shrine and praying for her well-being, while also supporting her father's catholic views. She's an odd girl with an odd life, yet she wouldn't have it any other way.

She enjoys sports and other physical activities, especially dancing. However, secretly she is something of an otaku, always up-to-date with the latest anime and having a truly enormous collection of video games. Somehow she performs well at school, despite her gaming addiction, though cares enough for her education to take time away from games to complete her assignments. She enjoys food a lot too, and has her own personal stash inside the clubroom. Speaking of the club, its members get the privilege of seeing her true self rather than her femme fatale act, which has already lead to a few shenanigans regarding food, video games and the like.

History: Ekibe has always been followed by the setting sun. She was born to it, her mother is the embodiment of it, and she died to it.

Ekibe Djeserit is Egyptian-Japanese by blood, raised in Yatsushiro, Japan. Her father fell in love with a young beauty on his visit to Egypt, the two supporting a long-distance relationship for several years, before she eventually moved to Japan. The two got engaged, married, and soon thereafter bore their first and only child: Ekibe.

Yet the day after her birth, Hathor, the true name of Ekibe's mother, disappeared.

It didn't take long for Ekibe's father to discover she wasn't normal, though kept it under wraps. Ever since she was young she would dance, and whenever she did a certain aura filled the room, reminding him of the goddess which he fell in love with. He raised Ekibe and taught her the values of the catholic church, infusing her with a holy spirit. He was a priest and worked on exorcising devils, not that Ekibe knew that, and was even the wielder of a holy sword. He taught her the basics of wielding the sword (not unlocking it's magical potential, mind you), and over time she improved because of his tutelage. He also taught her how to make paper charms, the basis for her card magic, though back then, she didn't know of it.

When Ekibe turned 16, it was revealed to her by her mother of the mysterious gifts the young Djeserit girl held within her, when she accessed the Gateway after a terrible breakup. When her father received news of this, he revealed some secrets of his own and telling the whole truth behind many of the things behind Ekibe's past, as well as her father's true profession:

An exorcist.

Her father trained his daughter in the ways of an exorcist, at her own request, sacrificing a year's worth of school to better herself. By the end of the year she had progressed to become a fairly decent swordswoman, though her main strength was using the holy light in her talisman cards to banish creatures of the dark. Coupled with the mysterious ability to use her cards through telekinesis and she became a small prodigy of her father. Though she would need to repeat a year, it was worth it in her eyes to become more like her father.

Unfortunately, five months before the present day, Ekibe lost her father to the wrath of a stray exorcist and Fallen Angel. The two were planning on converting her father into a stray, however he remained steadfast, shattering their expectations. The price to pay was death, and they wasted no time in cutting down her father right before her eyes. Naturally, once he was dead, Ekibe was next.

The young woman ran and ran, as fast and as long as her legs would allow, however pretty soon she couldn't keep up. The Fallen Angel had kept on her trail the whole time, and wasted little time in leaving her to die with a gaping wound in her heart. It was then, alone and with a burning desire for vengeance, that her current master -- Tsumiki -- appeared. With no other choice but to deny her former self in return for another chance, Ekibe took the offer and became a reincarnated devil. In those five months she has become a well-loved client around town and has personally asked Tsumiki himself for tutelage in illusion magic, as well as become an obedient, mutated rook.

Spencer

Location: Barracks, Shezze

Interacting With: Everybody!

"Waaaaaaaaah! I got a silver sword! Weheheheee!" As soon as Spencer had finished speaking a hand deftly drew the sword at her hip, raising the blade for all to see. The blade itself seemed to be made of steel with it's razor-like edges lined with deterring silver. Despite the short length of the blade, there was no doubt it would have quite some affect on the denizens of the dark. Haphazardly the blade wobbled in her hands, before it slipped and fell on her shoulder. Had her jacket not been there to protect her, the results may have been quite nasty.

Of course, due to Spencer's intoxication, this wasn't a concern. "Woopsie! Huehuehue... OK, I'm getting down now~!" At this, Spencer would attempt to get off of Zara's back, wiggling her feet like a child to get her way. Assuming she was able to do so, she would swiftly sheath her sword, wobbling slightly on her feet, though able to keep balanced. Mostly. As Zara asked about going into the tunnels, Ira-Anne finally seemed to get a grasp on what was going on.

"The... tunnels?" She asked with wide-eyed confusion. "But aren't they reeeeeeeeeeeeally spooky? Won't you all be spooked?"
