Ooh, this is interesting. Sorta reminds me of an anime I watched, years ago.

@JadePencil Welcome! :D Hit me up if you have any of those rp's. I'm quite the newbie - this guild and rp in general - but I'm interested.

@EchoicChamber

Yep! The link is there. Maybe, their families know each other by name or have fought each other at some point. Fis' family, unknown to him, are Warlock's for hire. Well, they started as that. They knew they had magic, the knew they were good at it and they used it to rise in the world. They succeeded, for the most part. One of them knew there was a need for more, and so that ancestor created the relic that would come to bind its first demon, permanently. They grew stronger and because of that, Esp's and Fis' families might have met due to their infamy and power. Plus, the Kalix family are closely tied with demons and Esp's family can temporarily bind demons. Might have exchanged tips to improve their magic, or something. :D

@The One I doubt I'll be able too, I think. I just got back into roleplaying to I'm more than rusty. I know you'll hit me up if I go overboard.

@EchoicChamber So much possibilities already! I also see a lot of potential with Fis and Esperanza. She came from a prominent Necromancer family, Fis is a descendant of a once-feared Warlock lineage. Perhaps we can build some history between the families? I see conflict developing between the families in the past that will affect Fis and Esp. Of course, Fis doesn't really know much about his family, yet.

@semicolon Just finished reading up on yours. c: I definitely feel like there's potential for some interesting dynamics between Esperanza and your characters- especially between Esperanza and Ahim, seeing that she's been raised up to believe that being a male necromancer automatically puts you at a disadvantage when compared to a woman.

@EchoicChamber

Yeah, that's why Ahim was killed without much resistance when he was human. I'm glad their backstories are meshing up quite well. I wonder how would Esperanza feel knowing Ahim isn't only a necromancer, but an enslaved demon too?

@The One

I'll transfer them both right over the other tab. Don't worry, Fis won't be OP. He won't be able to, I have an idea for his limitations and see how he'd discover it as the RP goes. Ahim, on the other hand can be OP if he ever breaks away from Fis. His personality dampens his threat level, but he's a demon, so...

@EchoicChamber

Ooh! I'm interested how she'd interact with Ahim once she discovers he's a necromancer too! (Well, he's need to be back on his demon form to be one, but... details, details). She'll have an interesting dynamic with him, Fis too.

@PharaohAtem

I'd take a look at all your characters. I'll try to connect your comments on the CS and look out for troublemakers. :D There are so many I have a lot to catch up on!

Ahim

Male - Demon - 19

Appearance

Human Form


Ahim almost looks like Fis, except for his heterochromic eyes. The left eye is almost white but it a very light gray and the right eye is a very pale pink. Both eyes look ghostly and unnatural, it shows he's not from this world. He has no real human form, in fact, he's not supposed to have a human form, but due to his circumstances, somehow he ended up looking like the one enslaving him.

True Form


He looks like a glowing shadow-like demon without any signs of having lower limbs - based on how he continuously float whenever he's in this form. No one has seen yet under the layers of torn, worn out cloth he wears but his body is entirely black without any features. His overall form may look humanoid, but that's where it ends. His eyes glow a ghostly blue that also envelops his body whenever his uses magic. He has an extra set of humongous arms attached on his back where wings should have been. It's longer than his entire body and can support him without difficulty, at times he uses them to transport himself through rough terrain.

Personality

Ahim is a high ranking demon but unlike his kin, has no actual responsibilities. Even in demonkind, he's an outcast. While demons may come off as irresponsible little shits, they are very responsible and do their jobs efficiently - ruining lives, turn humans into demons, bring about catastrophe. Ahim is none of these. He often lingers in the boundary between their plane and the upper planes. He looks into the upper plane and observes people's lives - mostly humans, magical beings bore him.

Add to that fact is that he's stubborn and won't cave for anyone. He will do what he want, regardless of what his peers want. Still, his nature as a responsible demon naturally makes him partial to following regulations, all the while finding loopholes in it to exploit. When faced with difficult situations, he remains calm and involves himself deep into it, seeing if there's any way he'd escape or take advantage of the situation.

He tries hard to to be like his kin who actively ruin lives, but his nature and actions always lead up to making them proud.

Bio

Once human, he's an outcast. He turned to necromancy to fill the void of loneliness in the company of the dead. He fairly got quite renowned, but was slain by a warrior of justice. He didn't expect to become a demon in a lower realm but he was fine with it. Except for their roles and duties. He wished company, he got it from the dead, then with his new demon kin. But he knew he wasn't diligent. He only wished to sate himself. And so he left the capital and went on his own, occasionally raising the dead for company.

On one of his walks by the edges of reality, he was snatched from where he stood and a human boy of sixteen murmured rushed words he felt familiar with but couldn't exactly place why. After moments, he's forced to be human once again and his powers diminished, continually drained. He tried to devour the boy right then and there, but was unable to. He was enslaved from then on.

Months later, the boy joined the academy. While human now, the boy can't leave him alone. He enrolled too and became a student. His main job is to be with the boy master he has but he struggles to break away from his hold. He couldn't care less it was his opportunity to corrupt the boy, it had already began anyway even before he was stolen away. All he wanted to do was whatever he wanted, not be some responsible demon or dutiful slave.

Powers

Power 1: Demon Curse - Ahim passively gains power as more death and carnage is surrounding him. When not in a desolate place, he emits a negative aura in demon form, a minor effect that will pull individuals closer to pain and suffering. In conjunction with one another, the more the aura affects his surroundings, the more powerful he gets.

It would have to be a great catastrophe for him to be back to his immense power though, Fis' relic passively hampers his abilities.

Power 2: Necromancy - he has domain over the dead. He can raise corpses from their graves, or he can call back a dead soul. He has control on them, for the most part. In his unrestricted state, before enslavement, Ahim has more than 100% control over which his power raised. But on his current state under Fis and the relic's influence, beings who were once wilful and powerful in their lives are hard to control and may regain their past memories, breaking away from what he (or Fis) wishes them to do.

So far, none have gone against and hurt them. But the instances in which his control faltered were too frequent for his comfort. He knows there are a few undead roaming around, doing whatever the hell then want, all because he lost grip of them. They'll be dead again after some time though, so he doesn't worry much. But it doesn't help Fis has a tendency to seek powerful dead and have Ahim control them.

Family: He remembers nothing of his family, and he had no real connection in the lower plane to ever call his demon kin family.

Friends: Fis? No, not really. The dead, he'd say.

Sentimental Attachment: Death. Or departed souls. He uses them but doesn't torment them.

Other: He is constantly inconvenienced by human needs. Any human need to sustain itself annoys him. In his demon form, he feels none of such things.

Plus! He's basically a normal human in his human form. Well, a human power supply for Fis. While killing him in that form would just be utterly bad, it would provide Fis more power to absorb - death and carnage strengthens Ahim.

There is more to be revealed about him, so let's see how this goes.

@The One

Yep, I tweaked Fis' CS. Go take a look at it, see if I've made him worse, lol. While he may seem all that powerful on paper, his powers are very conditional and needs a lot of finesse. And you're right on the part that he won't be able to use it that much. If he can't enslave anyone, he'd be practically useless. It'll create some sort of dynamic between him and the others, at least that's what I hope. Either he finds someone who'll help him use his power on someone or the exact opposite, someone who'll stop him at any cost. Enslavement is no funny business. That's why I'll give him a demon buddy for now. Making its CS now.
