Azeal and Sora
Sora said nothing as Griffin showed him his teeth and spoke. Needless to say, it seems his comment got him on the Werewolf's bad side, which was fine for Sora; compared to the verbal attacks he seems to get by the living on a near-daily basis, a werewolf correcting him and essentially declaring himself above everyone else was nothing that couldn't be handled. Although the feeling was quite mutual, as Griffin spoke as if he was designated their leader off the bat. Considering his personality, Sora highly doubts the responsibility of "leadership" was the aspect they felt he needed help with when forming this team. Still, if this is what the higher-ups demanded, for Griffin to be leader of this team, then Sora will abide by their decision. That, plus it did seem like he was willing to give her a chance as he said anyways. This in mind, he immediately backed out of a potential stand-off and left it at that, putting his focus back on the team as a whole.
"Ah, a Futakuchi-onna. That explains the bad hair day." Azeal said to her.
"A Futakuchi-onna?" Sora asked, extending his pan to Argo so that he may also eat up some eggs.
"A Yokai basically...well, more like a human-turned-Yokai. It's a common curse for women in Japan. Don't remember how you are suppose to get it though, I hear so much bullshit with myths that it's hard to filter out the truth from fiction. They have a second mouth that controls the hair like limbs, and would be able to use them like whips, or at least that's what I heard. ...Still, gotta agree with Wolf-boy on this one. Unless that hair's the stuff of nightmares for a barber, it's hard to think up an effective use for it...in combat I mean." Azeal explained. He then listened to Argo's..."concerns" regarding if he should be on this team at all.
"Tch, relax kid. You'll be fine. They put you and the actual kid in this team for a reason." Azeal said to him, not only ignoring the fact that Argo isn't a kid, but blatantly pointing out how he knows Argo's an adult by mentioning Billy as the "actual kid".
"I would also like to point out, I'm not a demon, I'm a reaper." Sora added, raising his gloved hand to the side of his face as he did, as if requesting for an opening to be heard. They both then heard Griffin telling them to head up for some potential team-building exercises, much to Azeal's annoyance as he sighed.
"Understood." Sora simply said to Griffin as he walked back up the stairs, ignoring the words of the Lich as he states what his past self was like, further clenching a fist, holding back the urge to summon his deathscythe to cut the undead down where he stood. What snapped him out of the frustration was hearing another voice he did not recognize, turning around to see the alien presence. Azeal also looked at this "PLX-395" thing as he explained his reason for coming there, which, needless to say, left the demon lord perplexed.
"...Uh-huh...First off, As far as I'm concerned, your new name is "Plex". If anyone else wants to call you by a serial number, more power to them, but I'm not gonna waste time doing so. Secondly, welcome. Thirdly, now in addition to a Demon Lord, a Reaper, a Werewolf, a Yokai, Mr. Bones, and two humans, we got an alien directly from MiB involved. ...Anyone bothered to ask the higher-ups what this team is about?" Azeal asked. When it was announced he and Sora were being transferred to being in this team, he didn't bother questioning it. It was two humans, a werewolf, a demon, and a reaper as far as he knew, then he found out yesterday that Cal was going to be a part of this team as well. A bit of an odd addition, but he didn't question it. Now there was a Yokai named Ruby and now a techno-alien sent from MiB. NOW things were starting to feel unusual about all of this.

I have my post ready to go, but I'm waiting on @EurmalEye for the sake of not wanting to skip a person. ^_^
I think everyone left for school and work stuff at this point
It's unfortunate, but understandable.
Still despite how long since I made that message, none of the above has made a post...Although @ReusableSword at least made a goodbye post, and thanks for that at least good sir.
Therefore as Promised, unless miss Luna has any other alternatives on how to replace such an amount of people...I will have to close this RP here.
But do not worry, At another time, when the bugs of this RP's problems are Ironed out, I will revive it. ...That, or I complete the OOC of another Space Pirate RP story I've wanted to make, whichever comes first.
Either way, it will likely be in the Casual Section. I will mention each one of you in it no matter what, even the ones who couldn't come back. So do stay tuned.
Until then...
Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails, Dead men tell no tales.

Azeal and Sora
Azeal and Sora looked on as Griffon looked ready to punch out Argo for his...wallet shenanigans. The two remaining silent with Sora nodding to Billy as he tried to ease up the situation.
"Ehh, Yep. Basically." Azeal responded to Argo's question.
The two then saw as Cal introduced himself to those not knowing of him...Though in Azeal's eyes, Cal stands out quite particularly so it's hard to believe that anyone with experience in this place wouldn't have known or at least seen him before.
It was at this time that they saw someone else walk into the Foyer area, a girl with a clearly unprofessional attire and look. The poor chick looks like she just ran off to this place right after getting out of bed, without anything in between the two events. Needless to say, it wasn't a very good first impression of herself as a rookie, as Azeal's right eyebrow was raised...But it wasn't at her. It was at the Werewolf who just decided to speak out against this.
"Griffin, that's not for you to decide. Boss gave her to us for a reason, it would be wise to at least give her a chance to show why." Sora coldly said to Griffin, almost emotionless like a robot, uncaring of the wolf's bad mood. Azeal agreed silently with what Sora was saying, but he also agreed with Griffin despite this. Like the wolf-boy said, compared to the rest of them, this chick certainly didn't look like she'd be the type to throw into a fight with the kind of things they keep from bumping in the night. But then again, at least two of the others were clearly humans, whereas at least she seems to have telepathic hair. ...Whether she can use it in other ways than making it float, or if she even had control over it since it seems to be trying to pull her head off in a specific direction, is another matter entirely. At the very least, despite the first impressions, she doesn't look like the weakest link of the team.
"So...You're the new recruit I heard about. Boss said there'd be one in our team. ...Name's Azeal. The pan holster next to me is Sora. I'm gonna go ahead and assume you've been briefed about what this place is all about, I'd appreciate skipping the boring stuff after all." Azeal bluntly told her.

Azeal and Sora
"We can only hope our team does us more good in the actual football season... then they've showed in the pre-season. And that's it for Sports. In other national news, Police have received reports of yet another violent murder found in the Big Apple earlier in the morning, and have suspected it to be one of the reported "Immaculate Murders" that's been happening as of late across the country, brought on by the Serial Killer known only as "The Vampire". The victim this time was one Dean Silvers, a prime businessman who was vice president of communications within a local IT company New York City, and well-known Political Lobbyist. Police estimate the time of Death being around 1 AM this morning at a hotel room he was staying in. So far, like other cases, there have been no clue as to the suspect of this gruesome murder. However, the police across the country are working around the clock to find and capture him before another kill happens. A warning has been issued to the surrounding cities and state near Manhattan, including our town of Washington DC, to be advised to be cautious, and if you anything suspicious, to contact your local authorities. ...In the local news, Senator-"
Before the sentence was finished, the TV was shut off. Black gloves holding the remote that turned it off, as the black-haired man with the gloves sighed. He was watching the TV in the lounge of the building, standing beside the couch which was completely occupied by a certain sleeping Demon Lord...Still asleep in his black suit, the standard federal agent uniform, the black overcoat not even off him.
Much like Cal, Both Azeal and Sora lived in the HQ rather than having an apartment somewhere in the city. Unlike Cal, it wasn't because of their appearance, considering they look more 'living' than Cal did. (Which is ironic in Sora's case.) Instead, they simply chose to live there for their own reasons.
Though, perhaps in Sora's case "living" at the HQ likely isn't the best way to put it. It's more accurate to say that he's usually nomadic and simply doesn't "have" a place to actually stay. He has a room in the HQ, but no reason to use it. Sora's job as a Reaper prompts him the need to be active 24/7 in an event where someone is going to die, and with that kind of criteria, he and his siblings are always on duty. Because of this, he usually visits hospitals and hospices often so as to be there to pass souls along when their time comes. Of course, he has a Pager on him so that the BoSA would be able to contact him for missions they need him for, at which he makes one of his siblings take over the reaper duties for him. Which is actually why he came back here at this moment, so as to be there for this meeting.
As for Azeal, He lives in the HQ simply because he feels it better that way. He owes the BoSA for helping him out of his predicament, and feels he should be within the vicinity of the building and its people in the event something comes up that requires his attention. Plus, there's the fact that he has made several enemies in the past. He tries to live a life outside of this, there's no telling what'd happen to any neighbors who'd get caught in the crossfire. At least here in the BoSA HQ, he's surrounded by Agents who are capable of fighting back, so he doesn't have that same worry.
That being said, anybody with some experience regarding Azeal's...sleeping tendencies knows of an unwritten and unspoken rule: When Azeal is sleeping on the couch, find somewhere else to sit. When you want to wake the demon, ensure you know your fire safety protocols. Sora, looking at his watch for the time, was about to test this out, with the remote in one hand, and a 10 inch frying pan in the other. He took a deep breath, readying himself for what's about to happen, and began slamming the remote against the Pan, purposefully making a loud sound.
"Time to wake up, Azeal...We got a meeting to get to." Sora said, as he continued. Azeal's eyes tightened in annoyance of the loud whacking sounds waking him up, as a white ball of flames appeared in his hand. He pushed it out towards the source of the sound, the ball turning into a small stream of flames heading for Sora. Immediately, Sora stopped and held the back of the frying pan in front of him as a shield against the flames. The front of the pan had a lid locked into it as what appeared to be Eggs inside the pan was starting to get cooked thanks to the flames that were hitting the pan. The stream lasted for about 5 seconds and then stopped as Azeal clenched his fist, now smoking from the spewed flames.
While Azeal then got up from his lying position, yawning and stretching as he stood up from the couch, Sora placed the pan in front of him and unlocked the lid, revealing the now fried eggs.
"...Perhaps slightly overdone, but still turned out well, I think." Sora said to himself.
"The hell you even cooked for? You don't eat." Azeal asked him.
"Indeed, however, I felt I should make use of your constant flame throwing to my advantage for a method of conveniance. A pan is made to absorb flames heating them from underneath so as to cook whatever's inside, I figured it would make a good flame-absorbant shield, as well as quicker method of cooking. A test that proved quite well, all things considered. That aside, I figured our newer acquaintances would have need for breakfast during our meeting." Sora explained, in a rather monotone voice, and with no smile, as if he was akin to a robot. Azeal, on the other hand, looked at Sora as if he just said something akin to his socks tasting good.
"...A pan...? Walking up in front of me and using a pan to shield you, and make eggs. ...Are all Reapers this mental or were you just some kind of self-destructive defect? ...Look, you're lucky I wasn't using my good flames, so next time just get out of the way like everyone else. Also, 'newer' acquaintances? We've seen these guys all the time, it's just that apparently now the higher ups decided to team us all up for some reason." Azeal said, sighing as he straightened out his suit. Sora simply nodded as he checked the eggs with a fork.
"So, where's the meeting at?" Azeal asked as he began to walk out of the lounge, the Reaper following suit.
"I believe they're currently at the Foyer by now." Sora responded as he followed him.
"I see, and remind me again who these 'teammates' are?" Azeal asked.
"Two gifted humans, a werewolf and...a lich..." Sora said, a hint of disgust spewing out that last word as the grip on the pan tightened.
"And a Reaper, and a Demon Lord. Of all the agents they could've picked to team them up with, it just HAD to be us. Wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to strike us down on sheer principal, not that I'd blame them. ...One of them's that kid with the Exorcist bat, right?"
"Yes, one Detective Billy."
"You know him?"
"I've never physically met him before, but I've heard about his situation."
Walking as they discussed this, they made it to the Foyer where they saw the other members of their team. Sora in particular looked at Cal with a great disdain. While he neutralized his facial emotions, his fist were still clenched while the hand holding the pan's handled tightened its grip.
"...Hey there. ...So I guess the higher-ups made us a team. ...Is this all of us, a 6-man team?" Azeal asked them all.
"And would any of you care for some breakfast?" Sora asked afterwards, extending the pan full of fried eggs.

-All Documents Deleted. Sorry for any inconveniences.-
This doesn't explain why he would become a master. Strength doesn't necessarily have anything to do with fighting skills. Demons generally don't respect human skills.
Demons don't generally have respect for humans in general, nor angels for that matter. They're weakling to them, not worth associating with, only useful for torturing for their amusement or as lamb to the slaughter.
Azeal is different from the other Demons in that particular respect, mostly due to his father being a moral role model, as I have mentioned in the CS itself. He has respect for the qualities these "weaklings" DO have, as oppose to disinterest in what they don't.
Again, If you wish, I'll have it be Expert instead, if that is more reasonable.
I get that this isn't a separate skill. But it sounds like this might be different from the white flames so I need to know if it is.
It is different only in that it's an upgrade of his white flames, nothing more.
I don't expect him to be confident in everything. I do need an idea of where his confidence is. His laziness could be a problem.
I see... His confidence is likely in his strength and fighting prowess. I know how that sounds like it goes against his morals, and it is, but Pride is something hardwired into Demons, it's an inherent instinct for all demons, and a treasured one at that. It's something he can't really help in that regard.
As for the Laziness, however bad you think it is, I guarantee you he's not THAT far gone. Due to his inherent power of Wrath, he has to keep himself tranquil and relaxed outside of battle so that he doesn't start a fire due to getting angry over something minor. He NEEDS to keep himself calm and relaxed, even if that sometimes means exhaustion so that said inherent power doesn't cause anyone problems. This of course means, he's laid-back and lazy. Of course when the time comes that he's actually needed, he's not gonna just ignore it.
If anything, think of this as a potential for comedy.
You can't invent a weapon like this without a reason.
A Fair point. I want to say I can come up with a reason before this RP begins, but realistically, that probably will not happen. I've stalled this enough as it is with these CSes, I'd rather not stall it even more for something like this.
So I'll instead split it up, giving him a Scythe (Cause he's a Reaper, It's as standard for him as the side arm is for a normal BoSA agent.) and if possible a Magnum revolver. If that's not possible, then the standard-issue Side-arm will do.
"The Reaper's Touch"- if you cant tell me what it does then you can't use it.
I apologize but...I thought I was pretty clear about this ability.
Concealed inside his black gloves are hands entirely of bones and irradiating a dark and cold aura of magic around them. Aside from hunting the lost souls and undead, a reaper's task is to reap the souls of the recently departed from their soon-to-be corpses, ending what little life they have left to free them from their coil. The Reaper's touch is the key to this; a reaper's real hands are irradiated with the magic of Death. On its own, a touch from a Reaper's true hand can cause decay upon the surface, and can cause death to the near-dying. In addition, it is by these hands that death spells can be used.
It is however, inferior to the genuine article, the Touch of Death. The rate of decay much slower, life energy is drained at a slow rate as oppose to being instantaneous, and to top it off, the reapers are heavily restricted and rule-bound by their god's opposite, the God of Life. They, Sora included, must abide by these rules and avoid draining life from anyone who isn't ready or necessary for it to be used on, or face obliteration and their rule-breaking reversed.
(In other words, unless it's specifically required for the job, if Sora attempts to use this to kill someone who isn't already about to die, then he himself will die and the attempt will be reversed. My own personal consequence for the potential god-modding that this kind of power may imply.)
If you need me to be more detailed, than very well...I'm sure you've at least heard of the idea that a Touch from Death kills a man. You can think of the Reaper's Touch as an inferior version of that. The Reaper's touch drains and decays a life until it dies. It's like literal life-sucking parasite eating at the life force of a person. Which is why he's required to keep those gloves on at all times unless needed. Using these hands is how the Reapers extract souls from people who are just about to die, as per their job.
Let's say, for example, that Sora had no gloves, and walked into a flower field with those bony hands exposed. Any flower he touched, any flower that is within about a 6 inch diameter range from his hands, would start to decay and age slowly until they eventually wilt and die.
Believe me when I say I KNOW how bad that sounds. Which is why I added that second Last paragraph. The decay is very slow, and beyond that, he is required to kill a person with this ONLY when their time is almost up and they're about to die. Any earlier, and he himself will die. Again, my own countermeasure for the potential problems this power can cause.
the only weakness I see for this character is someone being stronger than him. That isn't enough.
I...Beg your pardon? O_o
Weakness/Limits: There's always someone stronger- The law of progressive strength applies even to the supernatural world. No matter how strong someone is, there can always be someone who is stronger. There can be multiple creatures and beings that are physically better than Sora.
The Downsides of being a Spirit Medium- Not all spirits are friendly or cooperative. His natural connection with the spirit world makes him able to sense and be spiritually attacked by hostile/vengeful spirits, phantoms, specters or wraiths. Prolonged exposure to the spirit world can be dangerous even for him due to these potential attacks on the mind and soul.
Light/Life Magic- Reapers are not like demons; while they are cruel and monstrous in their job to do what must be done, they are not necessarily malevolent in nature. However, they are still creatures of darkness and Death, physical manifestations of that inevitable truth. Ergo, the magic of light can weaken their dark powers, while the magic of life, such as the magic of blood, water, and plants, is negating factor of their existence and as such, is essentially kyptonite for them. The laws of recovery is reversed for these entities as a result.
(To be clear, this does not mean they can't be anywhere near these things, it'd make their work excruciatingly difficult if that was the case. It simply means magic involving these things is damaging for them.)
I gave THREE of them, and I was careful to organize them to make them clear and concise.
If you mean that the first one is the only one you find that's viable? Well, I can understand why the second may not be seen as a Weakness, but I fail to see why you don't see Light/Life energy...Ok, maybe the Life energy, but I fail to see why you don't see Light as a reasonable weakness for someone like him.
Weapon:- Pick a weapon. You can't be vague. There is a reason for everything.while killers might not 'need' a certain type of weapon they usually have a reason for the weapon they use.
Yet I am allowed to make Baal's weakness unknown.
It's ok if you say I can't be vague for you, the GM. I understand that you HAVE to know this stuff, and perhaps I should have PMed all of these in specific light to you like I did with Baal. I sincerely apologize for not having the Foresight to do so. That is entirely my fault, and I will take responsibility for that.
But please don't sound hypocritical as to tell me I can't be vague in general when you yourself allowed me to be with Baal's weakness.
I can't "Pick" a specific weapon in this case. I would prefer to keep this a secret, but if you insist: The weapons they have is a part of their power. Their cellular manipulation allows them to shape and crystalize their blood into whatever shape they desire it to be. Like the T-1000, it can't be TOO complex, like guns. It usually has to be melee weapons like swords, knives, scythes, spears, etc.
Chainsaws can be formed too, and I know what you're going to say next: "But you just said they can't make complex weapons." Note the "TOO" complex. Guns and other weapons like it requires a lot more than just a shape in order to function properly which is why T-1000 and the Vampire both can't make them. Chainsaws on the other hand, when you get down to the basic structure of one, can be done with their power. it would require a lot of focus-diversity to make the mini-blades move like a chainsaw, and so would need their up most focus to make it work, but it can be done.
As for the reason why a chainsaw? Sometimes they get in a real bad or sadistic mood and decide to be a little extra intense in their murders.
Not good enough? Psychopathic killers may have a "reason" for what they do, but I don't believe it has to be a "good" one. That's what makes them so terrifying, the idea that someone would do something as horrifying as killing people, and not being able to comprehend their reasoning why due to their own madness.
As a certain character from Danganrompa once said: "To judge others by your own standards is the height of folly. Even if you can't comprehend it, they obviously can. That's all there is to it."
Weakness/limits: The downsides of Cellular Manipulation- I don't understand this doesn't seem like a weakness.
That's probably because of the wording of it, as again, I tried to make it seem as if it was being written down by someone who doesn't exactly know what it's like...which is harder than it sounds. It's difficult to play dumb and try to play it out like you're trying to figure it out yourself when you already know everything about the power. ...Or maybe that's just me.
Again, I would show you the actual weakness via PM. But like I said before, You've told me before you were aware of Cellular Manipulation powers and their respective weakness. So I imagined you could connect the dots regarding its weakness. Assuming you were telling me the truth when you told me that, I don't believe it's any different from what you've come to see in the past.
But Very well... Here's a more definitive version of its weakness. ...It's what you've seen before from, but slightly modified to fit this particular character and RP. Nothing too noticeable, just omitted unnecessary species details and changed their gender third-person to an androgynous style.
For starters, the usage of their cells requires energy from their body, and unfortunately for them, energy and the mitochondria of the cells is the one thing they can't manipulate inside their own body, and even if they could, there's only so much the Mitochondria if the energy they store is used up.
The Crystallization of blood is also dependent on that energy and mental concentration. The weaker their concentration and focus, the weaker and more liquefied the crystal blood becomes, until it reverts back into regular blood and loses solidity, and its threat level by extension, as a result. (Which, again, is why the Chainsaw-making requires the up most focus above any other.)
Not to mention the fact that when their attacks are using blood, more often than not, it's their own. Unfortunately, they're not immune to the effects of blood loss. Using too much blood will lead to them becoming disoriented, light-headed, losing consciousness, and possibly even death if they're not careful.
Appearance: You need an appearance. They would have a description of him. You can't look for a person if you don't know what they look like.
Hmm...Putting it that way, you have a point. If they've been searching for this killer for a while now, they should have had at least have a vague outline of what they would look like by what little information would be given by the neighbors of the victims. Maybe even a list of potential suspects as well. At the very least, it IS hard to believe the BoSA would work with the police and FBI for months on end and have nothing to look for.
Truth be told, I wanted to keep the Appearance a secret, as I believed it would be entertaining to have a mystery element to the finding and capturing of them. Look at any Mystery novel enthusiast, and I'm sure they'll tell you that they wouldn't like it if the reveal of the killer is spoiled for them. I'd like to think that if anyone here was interested in catching a Serial Killer, they'd be the same way in that respect.
Still, you do have a point as mentioned before. So I'll edit that to make some kind of description.
Age: Because it's a requirement. It's part of the characters history.
And if a character does not know how old he is? You suggest they get slaps or electro-therapy until they go "Oh hey, I remember!"? Also, nothing really wrong with this, but I simply find it humorous how making my character's Age unknown is perfectly fine with you, but it's keeping it vague and in a range that you find troubling.
But very well, any specific age you'd prefer, or can I go with the highest Age in the spectrum I provided, which is an actual age of 10,000, and physically 40?
Last time he turned himself in. Next time he might not.
...Point taken.
There is no such thing as an airtight container.
Just because they can open, does not null the fact that they're airtight when closed.
Now I can understand that these things probably aren't technically designed for a formless mass that would possibly try to break out.
But you cannot tell me that the BoSA, A division of MIB designed SPECIFICALLY to take down demons, Vampires and possibly even Gods, Can't upgrade an Air-tight room or container to contain malevolent blob monster or gaseous demon that may or may not show up.
In Blackade's case, all you'd need is an Air-tight room, with intense light perpetually on 24/7, and you're good.
But very well, I'll humor you and assume that Air-tight is "not existent". Blackade has Mass like I said before so he's not technically a gaseous entity. He's more of a blob monster in his formless state, so really, a Water-tight container or room would be just as effective.
@KatherinWinter
...Ok, let's go through this one step at a time...
It depends on how he uses it. I must apologize in advance as I'm not that good at envisioning measurements. But I would have to say roughly around 2 feet to a meter as a fire stream. As a fireball, I would say it could be thrown at a distance of about three or so meters before the flames die out...which transitions to the next question: He can hold the stream for about 30 seconds to a minute under normal circumstances before it starts to retract and die out due to exhaustion. The fireball meanwhile, has a half-life of about 1-2 minutes when thrown before it bursts and dies out.
Master Martial Artist- why?
Strength is the gold standard of demons, Might makes right in Hell, and learning how to use strength properly gives one an advantage against the raw and more instinctive demons, not to mention other entities. Plus for someone like him, who is a demon who was raised in such a world, it would make sense he'd learn about humanity through the learning of their combat, no?
The Meta-Reason is that I prefer making him fight with his fist. No real reason for that. As for why he's a master, well, I can imagine the experience would make him able to be one. If you wish, though, I suppose "Expert" would do as well.
The Deadly Sin of Wrath- not much info. I dont understand what he can do with this.
I can tell you never heard of Asura's Wrath. Fair enough, it's not a very popular game much to my personal dismay. But I imagine you at least know of the Hulk? How he turns into a green giant when angry and simply gets stronger the more angry he is?
To put it simply: Azeal grows more powerful as he gets more enraged. Take the power he has as a Demon, say for example, punching a giant dent in a metal wall or car, and keep amplifying that as he gets more and more upset. Honestly there's not much more to it then that.
The Flames of Wrath- how is this different from the white flame?
It isn't. Note how the names of my skills are marked like this. That not having that mark is no accident; the flames of wrath is a part of the Deadly Sin of Wrath, merely separated for the sake of clean organization of the CS itself.
All it simply means is that his White Flames, like his physical power, gets amplified with his anger.
Personality: This 'On the other hand when he's not like that, he's confident to the point of boastful, and seems to have a great pride in his skills as a fighter and in his powers as a Demon. So much pride, in fact, that he becomes incredibly upset when when one damages that pride.' Contradicts this 'Often times, he can be quite laid-back and relaxed to the point of slothful and lazy. As such, he is also a bit carefree and always seems to have confidence that things will always turn out just fine in the end.
Hmm...That is a problem. Writing personality is a flaw I have. I'm not that good at it, which is partly why this took me so long.
Maybe if I add that the first part's during actual combat...would that work?
Name: Sora Grimoire
Weapon: both scythes are actually long-barreled magnum revolvers- why?
Mainly the meta-reason is because that's how I envisioned his weapons to be upon his creation. I'll admit Sora's one of my lesser developed characters. So I never came up with how he got those weapons yet.
Skills:"The Reaper's Touch"- need more details.
Gonna need specifics on what you need details on.
Weakness/Limits: There's always someone stronger- this is not an acceptable weakness.
And Enhanced body is hardly an acceptable skill. Still I felt compelled to make a weakness for every skill I hold, and so felt compelled to make one for the Enhanced body...Not an easy feat considering it's not a "skill" more than it is a natural aspect, and it's difficult to find weakness for it, for enhanced strength is as natural to a supernatural entity as normal strength is for humans.
Name: "The Vampire"
Weapon: Ergo, they suspect the perp carries around bladed weapons, far larger than a knife and thicker than your average sword, possibly more than one given how different the wounds seem to be. It's possible that one of these weapons is a Chainsaw- why would a vampire need a weapon like this?
Note that the Vampire isn't actually a vampire, as I mentioned in the species section. "The Vampire" is just a code-name due to the nature of their killings. In a world like this it's confusing, I know, but there wasn't really any other thing I could think of to call them that fits as well as that does. If anybody has any other suggestion for a code-name, I'm all ears.
More to the point: "Why they would need it" is a fair, but ultimately irrelevant question. They don't "need" a chainsaw, in fact you can argue they don't "need" any of these weapons. All they'd "need" is something sharp and let their power do the rest. An insane killer of this level doesn't need a reason for why they use what they use exactly? Is it because of their victim's body-weight? Is it because the Victim pissed them off enough to warrant a gruesome death-by-chainsaw? Is it simply because she 'feels' like using a Chainsaw today?
There's no exact reason that's known at the moment, and what reason there could be likely won't make any sense to the logical mind of common sense anyways. That's what makes a killer of this level so scary.
Skills: Cellular Manipulation- Need more information
Weakness/limits: The downsides of Cellular Manipulation- I don't understand this doesn't seem like a weakness.
Appearance: "you need an appearance
I confess that the vagueness was intentional, and I apologize for that. My intention was to make it look like the Dossier of a criminal they know little about. A serial killer on the loose wouldn't be quite as grand if everything about them were revealed outright.
If you'd like, I'll PM you the details of that particular power, as well as the appearance, but I'd prefer the vagueness to stay. I'd like to simply treat it like an actual file, and update it as the RP goes along. Same for the other Criminals really.
Name: Blackade Scotus/Codename: "Shadow King"
Age: pick an age
Any particular reason why you'd want it to be specific exact age?
How do they catch something with no form?
Technically he turned himself in. But I understand that that's irrelevant. While he has no form or shape, he DOES have Mass...Magic Mass, but mass none the less. By "formless" I mean he's something of a giant black blob. There are plenty of ways to contain something like that in that respect. For instance, trapping it in an air-tight room or container where there's no cracks or holes to crawl out of. His weakness to light may help in that respect as well.
...Ok, let's go through this one step at a time...
Skills: White Flame Magic- how far can his flames go? How long can he hold his flame?
It depends on how he uses it. I must apologize in advance as I'm not that good at envisioning measurements. But I would have to say roughly around 2 feet to a meter as a fire stream. As a fireball, I would say it could be thrown at a distance of about three or so meters before the flames die out...which transitions to the next question: He can hold the stream for about 30 seconds to a minute under normal circumstances before it starts to retract and die out due to exhaustion.

I apologize for the wait. But here they are, I hope they are to your liking.
Note: "Baal" is a special case that I had approved by the GM in advance. She already knows the Weaknesses and that he has weaknesses, so don't worry about that.
