Personality: Sage is a very clever man, his thirst for a world for ghoul’s is what drives his very core. It would be hard not to hate humanity given his past. Their very pride was what made them weak, they had thought that they had been top of the food chain, untouchable gods on this world. Oh, how Sage hates humans; man, woman and child. They were simply dumb cattle for his kind. It saddened him however, the state of his kind. Hiding in shadows, barely surviving off of coffee and whatever dumb human that feel in the spiders web.
For a time, he found their arrogance and pride too be humorous at best. Too think humans were innocent had been incredulous at best too him, he only saw them as petty and hateful creatures, the only good part of them was their flesh and meat, his food. Any ghoul too see humans as friend or innocent, were too be considered enemies, if they could not tame the traitors, the enemy ghouls; death is the only other option.
Despite his cruel demeanor, to his own he defends with a righteous iron fist, too show him obedience is too earn their place at his side. Even if they hadn’t met him yet, Sage knows every member of his militia, he makes it as his duty too find out about them. Despite this knowledge, a very select few know Sage personally, his most trusted workers, and that isn’t many after Riley’s betrayal.
The woman, Riley had he knew what love was some would say that’s what he felt, but no. The only emotion he felt for her now had been rage, and he wanted too tear apart everything she cared for, bonus points for him that his dreams had involved tearing apart the what Riley cared for.
He hated the traditions and fashions of most ghouls, too hide ones face, to pretend too be something they are not. To pretend to be human, it would drive him insane. He refuses too anymore, he does not care for the mask anymore, what was the point of hiding when they ruled the streets of Tokyo.
He would not let his pride get to him however, no, he would play this game, and win.
Backstory:
Sage had been born in America, in the golden state Los Angeles, California. He wasn’t born to a normal family, if one were to ask Sage what his family was, he’d give a smirk and simply say “ A military family.”- However, it is not as simple as he states, Sage was born in a military lab.
It was safe to say upon discovery of Ghouls, the American Government would of course jump, if not hop, skip and dance too the thought of militarizing the humanoids. Sage would be a success in their attempt. When he was birthed, he was born an orphan. Who knew who his parents were, he didn’t know or care, if they were prisoners or soldiers like he was raised too be. At an early age obedience had been beaten into him, and among the other children at his camp, his rose through the ranks. By the age of ten he had already been performing with teenagers near adult hood.
His hunger is what had made him so aggressive, such a precise, and calculated killer. Sage found at a young age, his hatred for humans, too the scientist there... he had been more so a brilliant theory, and too the soldiers he had been a terrible weapon. No time for compassion or human emotion, after all he as far from human. When he graduated from the.. camp, he would have been placed with a unit of soldiers trying too keep the peace in some small island, he could careless for the name.
It was such a waste of his time, starving humans tasted horrible compared too the plump americans. He spent three years on that harsh island, most of the locals hated his unit cause they were americans, they hated him because he was a monster, a very hungry, monster- after all.. he had been a growing boy.
After the three years of living on the island, doing his mission successfully, he would have been promoted, a lot; the only thing he was allowed too do, is too conquer, fight wars for men he didn’t know or care about; all this did was fuel his hatred for man kind, when he turned nineteen he had achieved the highest rank a ghoul could have achieved. He had traveled the world, devoured humans from every continent, but he wasn’t just a brute. He learned, and studied. His mind was feared. He had studied up on free ghouls, ghouls who had not lived under their government, studied their mannerisms. They wore masks... how pathetic.
He would never hide, any ghoul under him, would never hide; that was when he began his plan. It took him only a year too out smart the American government, it was a pain in the ass but he managed too liberate the camps that had ghouls in them, but their freedom came with a price; their servitude. Those who ran were murdered, he could risk them revealing his plans. He would burn all the information and data, all of it except the files he would keep.
He would use those files too gain himself the diplomatic immunity he needed, but he'd be kind. Sage would leave out that fact that he had been a creation of the American government. Moving place too place around the states recruiting his kind, that would be how he met his greatest student, and his greatest mistake.. he did not like mistakes.
Her name was Riley, and in a way, he saw himself in her.
She had been an orphan, and a hungry one at that: she had devoured the entire home, her entire orphanage home. He would get too her before the government could; he wasn't a fool he knew they were probably trying too regroup their ghoul experiments. He knew from the moment he saw her what she was, a Kakuja. He named her the Time Hound, and unfortunately she grew with rebellion. At times he would have to force his protege too eat the ghoul meat and even human meat. Riley would always complete her missions with passing colors though, each mission he grew quiet fond of her.
It was funny, suddenly; the government he had once black mailed needed his help, but he'd only scratch their back if they scratched his. He would do a few fright missions, that's all humans needed too get their masters going in their right directions. Over the course of a couple years Riley had become more powerful, his Time hound was nearly unstoppable. He would time her killings, and each time she'd fail him, well, there was repercussions to failure; but that is what made her lethal.
Then the unthinkable would happen, she would betray him. Fleeing off too Tokyo of all places. Did she think she was free? He’d let her think that. He had his plan for Tokyo, for all the ghouls and humans there. Humans had been monsters, simple livestock who thought they were the top of the food chain. Sage would travel across the world, mastering his skill and abilities, recruiting stronger and smarter soldiers. Until his group had been completed, he would fall upon Tokyo, at first it was subtle.
He’d send his spies in first too watch the area, their men who patrolled and tried to control his kind. How humans reacted too them, the terrain, everything. Then they would strike, and just like this he’d begin his lovely game. This would only be the start of the Ghoul’s Paradise.
There was always repercussions.
Kagune Type: Rinkaku
Kagune Description: Most of the time it appears as two demonic red wings, coming out of his back. His Rinkaku has the ability too keep him afloat in the air. In it’s first form (the two wings) he uses it as a defense mainly. Getting smacked with one of his powerful wings would probably equal getting hit by a herd of elephants in a frenzied stampede. To defend himself he often curls himself up in his wings.
A powerful attack of his is once he is curled up in his shield, the claws at the ends of his wings have a blaster ability, if the claws hit anyone they start too drain the beings blood and heal him.
The final form for Sage has not been seen in a long time. His two wings rip into six sharpened tendrils dancing in the air, he still keeps his ability too float. The tendrils floating wildly around him. He can use the tendrils too peirce or grab, virtually giving him the range his body needs.
