Devils Never Cry: A Devil May Cry RP

With Tyr knowing it had failed in the art of discussion, persuasion and banter, he had no choice but to throw Saxton Cane's Ford Escort into the condor demon circling around the city. Special Attorney Cane knew what Tyr meant by this speech, but sadly he wouldn't have enough time to officially announce all the charges. So he had to make it short.

"I WILL SEE YOU IN COOOOOOOURT!" screamed out Saxton Cane shaking his fist while his car barreled far into the sky. Moving quickly Saxton opened his glove box to pull out copy of his vehicle's insurance policy. Jamming it into his back pocket, Saxton Cane flung open his car door and took a hold of his briefcase. Cane gritted his teeth, crouched down on his seat and popped his head out.

Special Attorney Cane took a deep breath out as he knew what he had to do.

"It looks like I am going to have to juuuump~!"

And lo did Saxton Cane lunge out of his vehicle as it made its way to slam into a gummed up military helicopter. Kicking his feet back and extending both of his arms as far as he could, the attorney desperately tried to grasp onto something. In the end he managed to lock one of his hand on a side of a building. With one hand clutched onto the ledge, and the other clutched onto his briefcase Cane knew he was not in a good position.

More so as he felt his fingers twitching and losing its grip on the structure.

"SOMEONE, ANYONE, HEEEELP! I WILL CHARGE YOU SLIGHTLY LESS FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION!"

Finishing his cheap and not that nutritious fastfood burger Saxton Cane balled up the paper and tossed it on the ground of the passenger side. The attorney placed his left hand on the steering wheel as he began to bob his head to the radio to the latest song blaring from the car speakers.

"NOW HERE'S A FUNKY INTRODUCTION OF HOW NICE I AM..." Saxton Cane felt the groove flowing through him as it made the traffic seem less bad; after all he was going to charge his client more for these travel expenses after all. As Saxton Cane allowed his mind to linger on those thoughts he felt a very prominent disturbance as if his car was being jacked or towed with him in it.

Glowering he turned down the radio and opened his side window. It was at this moment he saw that the "The Machine They Call Tyr" was responsible for lifting up the car and actually moving it towards the city. Saxton Cane adjusted his glasses, removed his seatbelt and brought his briefcase a bit closer to him.

"So..." Saxton Cane began, "Tinman we meet again. It does not appear as if you have learned anything from Tijuana. So I will make my statements for the record brief so you can follow them." Cane cleared out some phlegm from his throat as he started up again. "The first and, perhaps most noteworthy, error you have made in your speech is thus; you did not refer to me by my correct honorifics. You do not address me as a mere Mister Cane, you address me as Special Attorney Cane or Cane Esquire."

"Second" Saxton elaborated further as he stuck out his index finger, "You have not specified the definition of ruined. And more important than that lack of clarity your tongue writhed out those words in a..." Mister Special Attorney Saxton Cane Esquire took a somber expression as he mulled the word for dramatic effect as if he was pulling at the heartstrings of jurors, "scandalous manner. I might allow you to recant that and not take you to court over your words in some attempt to harm my personal character as long as you safely get me to my client..."

"And of course lastly any man can judge, but it takes a superior man to prove or disprove guilt. And I am that superior man. And you are using that term wrong. It is not a matter of bringing judgment; what you speak of is just simply an execution, maiming or brutalizing, assuring a kill if you will."

Saxton Cane reached into his pocket and pulled out a card from his stack of business cards. He reached out of the window and held it down in an attempt to show it to the metal man known as Tyr.

"I always carry my 'Official License to Maim'." Showing off the laminated license he returned it to his pocket and pointed at the city. "Drop me off at Lukewarm Avenue. I'm expecting my client there."

National League looking stronger than the American League this season. And man oh man things are looking pretty good for the Indians this year; heck they'll probably get into playoffs again this year. Cubs doing alright, but the real star in National are the Dodgers. Wonder if they'd choke during playoffs cause all it takes is one game until you hit the World Series.

Man the actual playoffs can't come soon enough.

Devils Never Cry: A Devil May Cry RP

Meanwhile as the city found itself under the threat of devilish terrors, both known and perhaps unknown, and at the same time being relieved of them, there was a much more horrific scene going on. Yes, anyone would say that demons attacking your town is spooky and those off-kilter would just say kooky, these creatures caused a much, much, much more vile problem to occur within most of the city and slightly outside the city.

Traffic Congestion.

It is here far enough away from the demons to take action but still close to be effected by this supernatural strife, where we set our scene upon a white Ford Escort which was angrily blaring its horns and blending in with the cacophony of other angry motorists.

"I GOT MILLIONS I GOT RICHES BUILDING IN MY DNA" blared out from the radio in the car as the middle-aged man slammed his hand on the horn again. "Come on assholes! Some of us have client visits to do!" howled out Saxton Cane who began smacking both of his fists against the wheel. After a few seconds of venting his aggression Saxton sighed and adjusted his glasses, "I should have just taken a taxi, at the least I would be wasting some other prick's gas..." Cane grumbled out before just setting his car into park seeing as he wasn't going anywhere soon.

Saxton turned to the passenger seat and began stroking his briefcase that was in the passenger seat, "Soon enough I will visit my client, and I am definitely charging extra for the travel expenses today." Saxton opened up the glove department to check on his pens, retrieving a ballpoint and then reached into his pocket to pull out a business card. After testing the pen to make sure it was still good, which it was, he placed it in his pocket next to his cards. On the floor of the passenger seat, Saxton Cane took the fastfood bag which accidentally slid there and placed it on his lap. Carefully Cane pulled the yellow wrapping paper that encapsulated his burger and began to chow down while bobbing his head to the melodic rap tunes playing from his radio.

Hopefully his day would go smoother once he could get through this traffic.

Nueva York, Manhattan's Finest Skyline Dining Experience - 'Mumbles'

Adjacent to a window which had the best view of all those wonderful glowing neon signs was single, glossy, black oak table with matching chairs with cushions made of only the finest imported Egyptian cotton. At the table there was a smorgasbord; in the center there was a suckling pig, yes a suckling pig cooked with the traditional apple in its mouth and of course its skin was browned to perfection, to the left of that there were a pair of lobsters which had its shell already cracked open primed for the buttery meat inside this aquatic bug to be harvested, and on the left there was a stack of veal cutlets which were sauteed in a lemon sauce. Behind the pig were three plates, one consisted of thinly sliced tuna served raw, and two plates of oysters. In front of the pig there was a matching pair of dishes and orders. Yes when it came to service for the elite with a hankering to eat, 'mum's the word at Mumbles'.

At this particular table there were two gentlemen. On the left there was a man with a black comb-over and a tanned complexion who was dressed in a blue suit with a pair of red cufflinks. This gentleman was an agent for celebrities and made sure certain affairs were kept in order. He was keeping a keen eye on the gentleman who sat on the right.

The individual who was sitting on the right had his focus on a high definition television that was just a few paces away behind the head of the agent. This individual needed no introduction, especially not here at Mumbles, for he was THE Nicholas Grey. However what did need to be addressed was his choice of attire at this restaurant; a much classier suit in vermilion and matching trousers, pearl cufflinks, a violet undershirt made of silk, a canary yellow tie and despite this attire he wore a pair of gleaming riding boots. Nicholas Grey swished back his hair before eagerly staring at the food. The gentlemen on the other side of the table simply slid a pen across the table.

Grabbing it, Nicholas Grey immediately began to twirl it around, "Ah thanks Arthur! I know there are a lot of fans here who'd want autographs. We can worry about it after eating!" The agent, now revealed to be an Arthur began to cough before stating something about business paperwork which in turn was interrupted by Nicholas Grey slamming the pen down onto the table and grabbing a fork and knife as he frantically cut into the lobster and wolfed down a chunk.

The agent sulked and crossed his hands over his chest. Staring at his disappointed compatriot, Nicholas Grey with a mouth full of food began to mumble something. Swallowing it down Nicholas Grey spoke again, "C'mon Arthur it'll be fine; I can't eat all of this by myself and I don't want to bring a doggy bag of it back to the filming set! It has to be a surprise for when I get the rest of the crew real catering. We can focus on paperwork and that jazz later, cause I've got a feeling this upcoming broadca-" He found himself interrupted when a pair of crime fighters having a minor scuffle came whizzing past the window.

Nicholas Grey casually lifted up the pen as he pushed his seat back. He gave a brief wave to Arthur as he mimed getting his phone out of his breastpocket with his free-hand.

"Uh huh yeah?" he said to no one on the other line, shoving the pen in the pocket he covered his mouth as he spoke to Arthur. "One of my adoring public... YEAH, I can talk. Arthur I'll be right back, shouldn't take too long." Arthur, far too exacerbated at this moment simply shut up and began to gulp an oyster down much like it was a booze bottle.

Nicholas Grey had to get out of the restaurant and get into a vehicle as soon as possible; solving this scuffle would look great on the eight o'clock news! And so as he weaved his way out of the restaurant he began to undo his tie and undercoat to reveal some racing leathers he wore under them... It was time for some good old fashioned vigilante hobby heroism.

Not a problem Shortcake. And dunno.

Devils Never Cry: A Devil May Cry RP

Name/Alias: Special Attorney, Saxton "Ha! Your Case Was In Vain" Cane

Appearance

Biography: Saxton Cane is a man who would easily fit in with the leagues of demons. He was, well still is actually, a ruthless attorney, regardless of his standing of being part of the Prosecution or the Defense. Throughout the land, at least where he was legally able to practice the law, Saxton Cane was feared as that attorney who would send the guilty to prison to secure a winning streak, or would get the most notorious sinners the best deal or completely off just for some good pieces of silver.

However during one particular trial, Saxton Cane was faced against a most vile defense attorney, who managed to beat him. The attorney was flabbergasted that he lost this case, his arguments were sound, his opening and closing statements perfectly pulled at the heartstrings of the jurors, and he had the evidence. So shortly after the trial Saxton Cane hunted down this defense attorney and fought him in an elevator. During the scuffle, Saxton Cane realized the reason he lost this case, his opponent was a demon. Of course even a lawyer of his caliber would have a hard time against the hardened attorneys of Hell. Of course being distracted from this realization the defense attorney escaped, but Saxton Cane knew what had to be done. Saxton Cane tracked this defense attorney down and challenged him once again in the courtroom; but this time, since Saxton Cane knew the demon's secret, he won. When the verdict was announced the demon cursed at Saxton Cane and mocked him, saying that he was but a low level entry attorney in the vast legion of his Hellish Law Firm.

So it was on that day that Saxton Cane swore that he would defeat each and every demonic attorney of the land so that he could prove his superiority as a lawyer, and possibly arrange a hostile takeover and become Executive Partner of that Law Firm of Hell.

Devil Arms:Viniculum Juris - The item that Cane refers to as Viniculum Juris is, for all intents and purposes, a normal one handed steel briefcase. The body of the briefcase is shaded in noir, the metal locks are gold, and the handle is colored bone white. The locks to this briefcase are a simple three number combination lock; both of these locks share the same number pattern to open it. On the right and left sides of briefcase there is a silver skull and crossbones with text wrapping around it saying 'Saxton Cane'. Inside the briefcase there are all sorts of legal briefings and other mundane papers. Saxton Cane uses his briefcase to flashily pull out evidence to dramatically present to the court, or as any attorney would in a pinch, via cool swinging and spinning techniques while occasionally using it for blocking.

Firearms: Fiat Justitia - When it comes to ranged weaponry, Saxton Cane has found nothing better than using his own business cards. These business cards are a standard dimension. Saxton Cane's business cards are an off colored white, a subtle off-coloring of Pale Nimbus, and is composed in a Silian Rale font, and of course each business card has a watermark. These business cards are proper business cards, and as such has the address to his law office, phone number, email, fax number name and the 'Ha! Your Case Was in Vain' taunting logo.

Skills/Abilities:
This Verdict is MINE! - As Saxton Cane progresses through the 'trial procedures', he plots and plans for when the most dramatic time to unleash his 'killer pieces of evidences/testimonial statements' to make sure there is no shadow of a doubt to his winning argument. By doing a series of uninterrupted combo attacks, Saxton Cane opens up his briefcase to procure strong pieces of evidence which he can use to devastate his opponent by proving their guilt and wrongness. The pieces of evidence that are acquired from the briefcase depend on how many combos Saxton Cane was able to acquire; as such stronger and more pivotal pieces of evidence require more uninterrupted combo sequences than weaker evidence pieces.

Billable Hours - A good attorney knows when to apply billable hours, Saxton Cane is no exception. With a bit of preparation time before an attack, Saxton Cane notifies the target that these hours are billable. If the attack hits, the target will take a damaging over time debuff, that lowers their morale and saps life from them as they suffer emotional and physical pain about the fact they are being billed for this.
This ability does not lead into 'This Verdict is MINE! combo attempts.

Licensed and Practicing Attorney - Saxton Cane is a registered attorney in a surprisingly large amount of countries; however he primarily practices in the United States, Canada and Japan. His area of specialty is Criminal Law, however he also does a fair amount of work in Tort Law.

Other: Saxton Cane has a soft spot for cats. He loves long walks on the beach, chasing ambulances, making frivolous class action lawsuits, being smug in the courtroom, and the Fast and the Furious Franchise. Saxton Cane hates pizza and prefers hamburgers, and his favorite topping on a hamburger is sliced pineapple. Despite rumors, no Saxton Cane isn't a demon, he's just a very evil man.

WELCOME TO KAIBA WORLD (Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay)

As the downward descent continued Scrimshaw began to take measures in order to stop this propelling motion. Underneath the engines began to push a bit more energy forward as the robotic carapace began to slow and eventually stopped. Now Scrimshaw hovered a bit in the air watching as others, besides the ones the robotic disk could have ran into, began to make their leave. Surely the best course of action could potentially be leaving for its assigned room and understanding the quarters that were provided by this tournament's benefactor Seto Kaiba. However the bio-mechanical enhanced tortoise noticed a Modern Day Apollo of a man. It was an unmistakable sight to be sure, those football shoulder pads were quite noticeable. If Scrimshaw recalled correctly that raw specimen of the potential of humanity was up a few more sections.

So Scrimshaw hovered and began its ascension to RIP ROCKBONE. It took some time to arrive and hover near the upper body levels of RIP ROCKBONE, but Scrimshaw had eventually completed the journey. The tortoise knew that it had to try to communicate with this veritable Adonis before settling in the proper hotel. For a multitude of seconds the disc just hovered near RIP ROCKBONE the engines made a bit of noise. Then all of a sudden there static hissing coming from the shell as Scrimshaw began its attempt to communicate.

"NUQENH." hissed out from the speakers as Scrimshaw quickly realized there was a problem with the language detection unit. The tortoise racked its mind for potential solutions; and hoped that RIP ROCKBONE would come to some sort of rational conclusion regarding this.

@Pleek Oof, wrong direction there. Might be interesting times with a demon lawyer from Hell though.

@Zombehs

Ah well that's a shame then. Oh he's not a demon lawyer, just a very effective attorney who will eventually take over the greatest legal firm of Hell itself and rule over it as, probably a very tyrannical executive partner.

<Snipped quote by Pleek>

Oh, I stand corrected! A basketball-playing demonslayer is freaking awesome. Apparently Wizards CAN be cool.

@Shisa

I know right? Just imagine all the stuff that can be done with the basketball; I mean you probably have some wicked shots from down-town, some nice rebound manuevering, nice footwork and movement for dribbling, ball itself could be pretty nifty. Like maybe it is far more elastic than usual basketballs. Who knows there are all sorts of fun things that could be done. Yeah Wizards can be cool, put up a nice effort against the Celtics, didn't lose before game seven anyhow which is always nice. Not my favorite in Eastern Conference but they're alright.

Devils Never Cry: A Devil May Cry RP

@Zombehs

I suppose I'll just have to wait and wonder about their relationship with the Washington Wizards then. I imagine they are still a player in the team, no idea of the position. But maybe they got kicked off for throwing games to collect on illicit bets. Perhaps the leg got messed up after a bad game against Miami Heat?
