The story of Gifted is a prototype outline for a game I plan to create in the future. As a brainchild of sorts, I'm finally putting this story in the hands of the people — my awesome friends at KH13. I can't wait to see your characters, reactions, and everything in between! Thanks guys for participating or watching, and enjoy the show!

Everyone is unique in their own way. No matter how similar a trait may be, no two scientists think the same, no two singers sing the same, no two artists draw the same, and no two people are the same. Some say it is the Gift of the Heavens, passed down from their God or Goddess to each person, an imprint on a person spiritually. Others believe it is the natural Gift of the world - just like DNA and fingerprints, so too must this uniqueness be solely idiosyncratic.


What is a Gift?

Every person has something that makes them distinctly themselves. Their "Gift" reflects their personality and potential. Gifts are classified as one of two types:

Ingenium

A Gift that can range from absolutely anything that the person is particularly good at. Dancing, poetry, music, photography, martial arts, archery, fishing — almost anything you can imagine that you'd state “That person has talent” can be a Ingenium Gift. These Gifts are either meant to link to and enhance the personality of a person, or throw a curveball of what you'd expect a person to be like (for example, a person whose Ingenium had to deal with being able to persuade people during public speaking events is actually rather shy and timid). A Ingenium Gift must be very specific in nature. Even if the Ingenium Gift covers a ubiquitous range of artistry (a Jack-of-All-Trades), they must have a specific way of doing it. For a singer, perhaps, the person may be able to sing very well a certain type of genre of music. Or, a person may be able to sing a broader scope of music, but with their own flair.

Potentia

A Gift that represents a supernatural power. These can be magical or physical, from pyrokenesis to pure brute strength. The powers may or may not reflect anything about a person, but as a person grows, their Potentia Gift grows too. This is mostly attributed to the “experience” they've had, including quality of life or lack thereof, whether they've made good or bad choices, their obstacles and how they've overcome them, etc. A Potentia Gift then becomes more helpful or more destructive, and can often times lead people with ill intent to become consumed in their greed to evolve it into something disastrously destructive.

Everyone possesses both an Ingenium Gift and a Potentia Gift. Under special circumstances at birth, a person may obtain two Ingenium Gifts. Often times, however, this leads to a disability among said person.

Sectilis

The world of Sectilis is beautiful, vast and varied. The world consists of 37% water, 40% of which is directly drinkable, but thanks to certain advancements in science, all of the water in the world can be accessed. Four major continents span the land: Rinde, Lieth, Pollis, and Scient, each with a different backstory, culture, and general natural beauty.


Rinde is the first established continent on Sectilis. Full of trees, wildlife and untouched natural habitat, the Rinde continent is also the number one continent for exported natural resources. Rinde spans a beautiful culture, appreciated by religious and scientific minds alike, including waterfalls, rivers, coastal beaches, and rich islands. As much as Rinde is beautiful, it is also dangerous. Monsters and vicious animals prowl the night, tearing apart the unsuspecting person who trespass their territory. It is said that dragons inhabit a certain island on the land, and those who have tried to chart the land have never returned. Rapid waters have enough pressure to crush any creature that comes across it.


Lieth is a continent whose rough start and heavy endeavor reflect upon the fruits of labor. Lieth was a barren land, destitute and vast. At first, Lieth was uninhabitable by any creature other than sand monsters, who were competitive among one another to survive. However, through persistence, people built civilization among the land. It provided a new look to Lieth, a once barren land that became a mechanized world of artificial beauty that hosted monsters and animals alike. But the yet uninhabitable places on Lieth remained a grave danger, as the monsters who previously inhabited the land have resided in the habitat after millennia of adaptation… And they've grown even stronger.


Pollis, although considered a continent, is actually not a large land mass. Instead, it is the mass of islands clumped together across Sectilis. Scientists believe that the continent used to be just one land mass, but constant tremors shook these lands apart. Volcanoes, resorts, and tropical territory dot the islands of Pollis, yet each culture and set of natural resources is vastly different. While one island may bear beans and rice, for example, another is the perfect place to grow bananas. Therefore, there is a different taste of life in each and every place in Pollis.


Scient is an ancient and mysterious land, which beyond some tribes, is mostly uninhabited. The continent is littered with inexplicable phenomenon, powerful creatures, hieroglyphs, and ancient structures. Beyond science and religion, this continent is a world of wonder in and of itself.

Religious Belief

Those who believe in a God or Gods believe that they have blessed people with Gifts. The Gods’ Gifts are reminiscent of their calling in life, and in choosing to follow this calling, the Gods will eternally bless them.


The most common religious beliefs include

Belzivue

A religion in which a single God who has love for all whom believe in him. He blesses each and every child with the Gifts, given at birth and said to be cultured and ready to behold during the Ethereal Soaking. The Ethereal Soaking can occur at any age, but mostly when a child comes about an age of five, in which they begin what is called the “Ripening”. Those who come of age at 16-18, or the “Crescent Age” must then begin a pilgrimage to a sacred land, one of five places in the world said to host the holy God’s spirit, who will guide you to your calling and keep peace to the world. Those who follow the religion are known as “Belliths” of God, and those who do not are regarded, to these “Belliths” as “Boruths,” unholy and sinful people who do not walk the way of God.

Lillianth

A religion that involves multiple Gods who have each taken a liking to certain people. A certain person or family is said to have been blessed by a God. Under that God, they are instructed to do good, bad, or indifferent to please them, and that God will show mercy. “Lillianths” believe that one day, their God will descend upon the world and give them good fortune. Gods in this religion include:

Jesuit - The Savior of Time. In the War of the Gods, before the world was created, time was fought over. Time cultured everything; the evolution of the planets, the alignments of the stars —everything was influenced by time. Those who had power over Time had the most influence upon the universe, until the neutral God Jesuit heralded the World that the Gods would watch over. In it, time would be distributed equally, and the disastrous flow of the planets that the universe was in would keep the universe from crumbling. Jesuit was credited with creating the world and watching the over the Gods. Those who follow Jesuit are said to one day save the world.

Ino - The Maiden of Beauty. Ino believed that slow, simple cultivation created the most beautiful of things. Before the War, she desired for all in the universe to grow and react slowly and beautifully. Ino only blessed women, but these women were said to be among the most beautiful of the world. Their Gifts grew slowly and freely, and as time went on, they became much more powerful than the masses. In short, women who followed Ino are often both beautiful and powerful.

Infern - The Beseecher of Chaos. Infern recognizes the power that chaos and conflict bring. Infern wanted control over time in order to strengthen the universe. As meteors clashed and asteroids crumbled, he believed that the matter in the world would grow stronger as time passed. Those who follow Infern are said to have great bursts of power, and become rulers of political and militaristic endeavor. They are also quickly skilled at their craft.

Collian - The Sentinel of Order. Collian believes that the even flow of time will keep from disaster. Before the war, Collian wanted to protect the old order of time. Those who follow Collian are the protectors of the people, and hold their duty as those who keep that which disrupts at bay.

Detra - The Wanderer of Wisdom. Detra believes that time must be paced with new discovery. All that stays the same is irrelevant - but new discovery represented new answers, and new questions bred her mind to follow the will that discovery brought. Detra wanted time to herself as a tool that would help her not only discover new things, but revisit the old. Those who follow Detra are adventurous explorers, who seek power through knowledge about the world.

Croianth

A religion that bases Gods as spirits of nature. The Gifts are granted by each God based on certain rituals and offerings given to the God after birth. This offering promises a tie to said God based on what the offering is and where it is offered. Often times, this influences the person’s Gifts. Throughout the life of the person who follows beneath a God, that person will constantly encounter a certain talisman that represents them.

Common Gods include:

Traius - God of Plants
Stratus - Goddess of the Stars
Burius - God of the Soil
Hydrius - Goddess of the Water
Firius - Goddess of the Flame
Helius - God of the Air
Tartius - God of the Wild
Darlius - Goddess of the End

Although the Gods in Croianth have certain preferences, the people who believe in Croianth, or Croianthists, believe that it is important to recognize all the gods of nature in Sectilis. If the God was unsatisfied, they were believed to have caused natural disasters.

Science

Scientific feats are evolving, mostly on the continent of Lieth. Ways in which power can be enhanced, for example, or where medicine is improving are constantly being discovered. Science has created advanced weaponry (flaming blades and robotic arms come as more advanced structures) as well as common day-to-day necessities (cell phones that can project holograms and send "attachments", as packages through digital signals, and near-instantaneous transportation across Lieth).. Scientific theory also spans through Sectilis, including theory about the planet’s creation. Scientific paragons believe that the Planet grants people Gifts for various reasons, including environment, culture, and quite possibly the Planet's “health”. Scientists are unsure of how Sectilis in particular is being affected, but throughout research can develop a theory that the planet does have a sort of “well-being” or “health”.

Science outside of Lieth is far less typical, however. Rather than advanced tech, there are typical medieval and Rennaissance-like technology. Old fashioned swords, spears, guns, and daggers are the most common, crafted by blacksmiths. Although there are many blacksmiths, those with The Ingenium Gift are believed to be geniuses, albeit only few in the world. However, these weren't simply forged in the old way - these weapons are magically enhanced, thanks to the abundance of natural resources and those with a very specific Potentia Gift. There are also weapons believed to be divine scattered across Sectilis, according to those with religious beliefs.

Magic

Magic is a phenomenon that neither science nor religion explains very well. Extracts of the planet are found all over Sectilis, but Rinde by far has the most magical deposits in all of the charted parts of Sectilis. Gods and divine beings are said to hold the least aptitude for magic, with some only able to absorb and fire minor casts while others aren't compatible at all.

To be taught to weild Magic, people go to special masters who often have the Potentia Gift to weild and conjure their own magic. The person goes through rigorous environmental endurance tests guided by the masters, taught to recognize the magical deposits of Sectilis, and taught to craft magic before being taught how to use it. This training takes months to master, and often times, disciples decide to learn one branch of magic then rest before taking on another discipline. The sheer amount of effort is exhausting at best, and most times draining.

Known Magic from the Planet include Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Lightning, and Plasma, from easiest to weild and craft to hardest.

Species

Sectilis has a variety of species across the planet, but among the most intelligent are the Ryuh, Gin, and Toria.

Ryuh - Humanoid beings. They are the most adventurous and curious out of all the species, and also have the broadest range of knowledge. As such, human beliefs are varied, and have adapted to every habitat.

Gin - Giant beings. A very well versed species in power, brute force, and tactical intellect. This race is known for its survival ability and acute sense for tapping into the power of nature.

Toria - Animalistic beings. A species that is the most attune with nature. This species have a sixth sense, thanks to whatever animalistic trait they display. For example, a Panther-Tori may have more acute night vision along with a black tail or ears.

Other beings across Sectilis include:

Valkyrie - Sub-Divine beings. This species is said to have the closest connection to the Gods, whomever they were. According to legend, their power was just a fraction of the Gods, a power that could destroy an entire country. However, the Valkyrie's power was taxing; their power, although powerful at first, would want with time. Due to emotional distress and sacrifice, it was very rare that they could reach Ascension as minor Gods, but for as much power as they gained, they lost in humanity slowly.

Succubus - Devilish beings. Seductive and sexy females that tempt other species to preserve their life force. Although the Succubi are feared by the other species of Sectilis, they are actually an unfortunate species that has to rely on others to survive. The lifespan of a average Succubi without stimulation is only 3 years, but with a partner, the lifespan can extend to nearly 200 years. A single, primary partner can be formed with a Succubus in a process known as the "Eternia Pact". In turn for providing Stimulation for the Succubus, the Stimulator is granted a tie to the Succubus' life span, causing the Stimulator regardless of species to live a much longer lifespan than normal. The Succubi's Potentia Gift grows stronger with their lifespan extended as well. Succubi always have either a spiked or club-like tail.

 

Wildlife

 

 

Lieth

Heba - A poisonous reptile with the appearance of a salamander. Small and palm-sized, and very competitive of territory and mating.

Boutilis - Beautiful butterfly-like creatures whose clear wings refract light in a way that makes them glow in color. Serves no purpose but looking beautiful.

Kedi - Large tiger-like Liethan cats. Mainly found around Adatoire in a symbiotic relationship (adatoire provides, defense and moisture, and the Kedi protect them from predators), but may stray away from a group if a mother must give birth to kin, or due to lack of food.

Adatoire - Turtle-like amphibians whose shell is made out of the mass of hard rock. It creates and repairs its shell if a significant part of it has broken off by secreting a special gluey liquid. The liquid, after drying, allows the turtle to channel its glue throughout parts of the shell that need it or retract nutrients, like rain, into the turtle's back, like veins and arteries.

Tithl - A hybrid cat-wolf species, as large as 274.32 cm (9 ft) long, and 60 cm (2 feet) wide. Have powerful, sabre-like teeth, and incredible intelligence when hunting prey. Females are very competitive for territory, while males compete for the right to females.

 

 

 

The world of Sectilis is wondrous. You will be able to take part in it and shape your own future. Your choices will make who you are. As you discover the mystery of this wondrous world, you will encounter those with ill intent, fantastical beasts, heartbreak, and difficult choices. For whatever your calling in life, be it love, world domination, the will of your God, or curiosity, may your venture be fortunate.

Rules:
-Cursing is allowed, but really, don't get excessive about it.
-Romance is allowed and encouraged to an extent. You may add intimacy and even pervy comedy (like anime level), but please, not too much. If you have questions about what you can and can't add, please PM me with what you're attempting, and be sure to include the person you want to involve, if there is one, so that I know they're in approval.
-I will be enforcing a two-week posting limit. If you have gone a week and a half without posting, I will warn you. If you have gone two weeks without notifying me, the plot will move on, and I'll make sure to warn you again. If you do not post within a month without notice, your character will be taken control of and/or exited from the RP in whatever way makes sense. If you notify me after the two weeks are up, and have a circumstance in which you couldn't post before and/or can't post, I will take it into consideration, but please make sure to PM me. Anyone that knows me knows I'm very generous when it comes to situations, and if you find that you want to come back, I'll do my best to keep you up to date however possible. In the case that I have been two weeks late, I will excuse anyone since the time I've been gone too.
-No Godmodding. Again, I won't bark down your throat. A simple edit will have me satisfied.
-If you are confused or have any questions, please PM me (not chat). I'll gladly help you out.

Author's Note
This is a prototype for the story of a video game I plan to begin development on. As such, I'd love feedback by RP'ers and non-RP'ers alike. To those watching and those playing, I'd really appreciate dialogue in the Sign Ups and Discussion. Hit me with constructive criticism, fire me with positive feedback, and don't hold back about anything you like or dislike about the RP.

I'll be running this RP very differently from most other RP's. I will have lots of player influence and I will even be willing to build a side story around a few characters at a time. In these side stories, you can explore your character more, go off with other RP'ers for romantic, expository, or training purposes. You will even be able to add in your own religion, Gods, scientific organizations, races, and other things. PM me if you're interested.

Good luck guys! I'll update the OP with my own character soon after making some edits!

Clouded Sun's Characters

Name: Solace Ardent ("Sol")
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Ryuh
Appearance:
FACE:

Sol has dark hair that travels to the bottom of his chin in length and a strand is parted to the right of his face. He has a slight caramel complexion. Solace is slim, but toned in muscle and has silver eyes normally. He wears black boots studded at the shin, black jeans, a sleeveless dark blue jacket with a gear insignia and sleeveless black tank top, fingerless blue-and-black leather gloves, and a small diamond stud on his right ear.
Ingenium Gift: Adept at cooking. His cuisine shines through hot, exotic pastries and meaty meals.
Potentia Gift: Eyes of the Insomniac: Sol can change his physical ability in battle depending on the color of his eyes, which are silver otherwise. With each ability, however, comes a crippling side effect.

EMERALD: Able to jump higher and run faster, at the cost of physical frailty. He takes hits harder and deals them weaker. To escape some attacks, Sol can also dematerialize into green smoke for a maximum of 1.5 seconds at a time.

Background: Solace grew up a blind child. With scientific advancement reaching an all-time high during his birth in Lieth, scientists wondered if they could not only restore a person's lost body function, like eyesight or hearing, but if they could also implant a Potentia Gift into that person. This practice was considered highly unethical by religious followers and even other scientists in Lieth, but the operation went on anyway to restore the boy's sight. Days after the operation, the laboratory disappeared.

As he grew, Solace began to strangely be much more athletic than his peers, and his eyes would become green whenever playing with other kids at around 10 unconsciously. Over the years, however, Sol has become able to control his Potentia Gift by 16.
Personality: Sol is expressive, but it's hard for him to articulate exactly how he feels. He sometimes makes decisions in the spur of the moment, and often times thinks in the spur of the moment. Solace grew hating responsibility and especially being left in the dark, yet, his basic goodness is always intact.
Weapon, if any: The Ring: Not having a Gift for engineering discouraged Sol a bit, and he came up with many failed experiments despite constant hard work. His only successful creation is The Ring, a brilliant, seemingly unbrilliant piece of jewelry able to emulate the atomic structure of a weapon and create a physical, cyan-glowing 3D replica of it. The Ring is very unstable, however, so after 30 minutes of use, it overheats and the replica shatters until The Ring cools.
Religion, if any: Agnostic. He has... reasons.
Other important info:
-Although his Gift is cooking, he loves to mess around with mechanics. Sadly, his only successful creation is the highly unstable Ring.
-Sol suffers from depression sometimes, where he feels he's not "good enough." He doesn't show it, but instead masks this in his work.
-Sol has vivid dreams and wicked nightmares. An abrupt wake up is not out of the norm.

I need to cook up some reason for Hanz and Sol to fight But even though that'll be like a long time down the line, after a lot of character development GIVE ME A REASON TO USE MAGNA INSOMNIA AND SOMNUS ULTIMA PLZ SCRAP

 

Ha haaaaa, I have my next post ready, till Yessie Yes Lea responds, then we'll get some talking and introductions going, then the next day, then some cooler stuff.

 

Sol will probably want to help the gods out (if we get to interact with gods).  Hanz will not, they will clash. Hanz will leave the party and go full Ardyn. lol.

Nah, something else. That's something they got in common.

 

Hmmmm.... I'll keep letting it fester in my brain.

Character Sheet the Fourth
 

Name: Isaac Wilhelm
 

Age: 35
 

Gender: Male
 

Species: Cybernetic Ryuh (With a hint of Demon Blood)
 

Appearance: Clothing wise, he wears no shirt, simply having a maroon longcoat over his body (Think Dante's Coat from DMC3, just less red.) along with dark slacks fixed with a tight belt, strong, black boots fixed with many buckles and thick laces and a pair of fingerless gloves that he simply has fixed to a pocket of his, due to the fact that both of his hands are cybernetic. On the topic of such, his cybernetics are extensive, yet highly advanced. Implants line his spinal cord up to his skull, his right arm all the way to his right side chest is fully cyberised, his left side chest is still intact, but his left arm is partially cybernetic, his index and middle fingers robotic and the back and palm of the hand are supported with a metal frame that extends all the way to his forearm. Both of his legs, thighs and all, are robotic, yet sleek enough to wear boots and slacks. All of his cybernetics are linked and supported, allowing him to use their full potential with ease.

 

Facial Appearance: That of a young man, but heavily scarred and with small bouts of necrosis here and there. His eyes once a teal-blue, now crimson, a slight glow and reptilian look to them. His jaw is hardly a lantern jaw, barely a sharp edge to it, unless one counts the "sharp" scars left on it. His hair is medium length, extending just past his jaw and entirely white in color as a result of his power. Despite his old injuries, many still consider him attractive, not that he minds.

 

Ingenium Gift: Painting - A master of multiple styles, always has an eye for a good quality easel and Canvas.
 

Potentia Gift: Demonic Splicing.

 

A once simple power where he could assume characteristics of another being, ala Shapeshifting, his abilities were altered during a major event in his life: A pilgrimage, wherein he consumed the Blood of a Demon that he had to kill and drink from a Chalice. On the simpler end, it grants Isaac control over Demonic Energies; Unstable looking powers of an offensive nature i.e: Energy Orbs, Blasts, Waves and Beams. His physical appearance has been altered and it is usually minor (See facial appearance), but already he is showing signs of true metaphysical transformation through his eyes having their glow and different appearance, it is minor...for now.

 

More complex, yet the ultimate in growth, is his ability to subjugate and re-purpose the souls of defeated enemies. Be they great beasts who accept their death or not, Isaac can reforge their souls into powerful weapons and abilities for him to use. It is a rare occurrence, so far having only happened once, but it is always a great occasion for him, as it can be quite fun to show off his new toys/powers. His current weapon: A Sword, is infused with a Demonic Soul and is currently a representation of his growth and it will change in appearance when he experiences a new power, or better, an awakening. To clarify however, he cannot simply steal peoples souls, he has to defeat them in battle and recover it from their bodies or if it is willingly offered by the graceful loser, but even then, it has to be a very powerful being, a strong person or great beast with sapience, such as Demons, Angelic Beings or potentially Dragons.

 

His abilities are currently very simple as a result, but growth will make things very interesting indeed. His most basic abilities are enhanced durability, stamina and recovery, plus the extra speed his cybernetics give or the strength they grant.
 

Background: The ability to shape-shift, sometimes called Transfiguration, is a simple one, but one that is the most open to growth and change, people who possess this gift often embarking on pilgrimages to seek new power to take into themselves, often replacing shape-shifting with something similar, but at the same time wholly different in scope, caliber and potential. Isaac was no exception, after being born in a small village in an Island of Pollis, his gift was discovered and revered by his family and friends, who considered it quite the momentous occasion. His family line typically held many shape-shifters over the generations, though those without it were not shamed at all. He and brothers all held power, his older brother being a shape-shifter too, while his younger one was a Pyromancer. Upon reaching his late-teens, Isaac was ready to embark on his pilgrimage. Destination? It was never set in stone, the pilgrim being able to choose where they go to obtain power, many of them seeking to head to Scient, the Land of Wonders, often finding phenomenons and other mysterious happenings that would grant the power they seek.

 

Isaac had always been interested in the higher powers, Divine or otherwise, mainly those of the "Underworld", Oblivion, Hell, Inferno, it had many names but what intrigued him the most was the inhabitants and their powers. It was always considered rather ambitious to attempt to attain power of the Divines or Demons, yet ambition was encouraged for these pilgrimages in order to situate the greatest growth. So when his travels led him to Scient, he found a naturally occurring "Inferni Gateway" that he would enter to begin what was considered by many, the fun part.

 

For years, Isaac engrossed himself in the exotic dimension, fighting off hostile creatures with the weapon he was provided with: A simple broadsword that he had been given basic training with, but was effective regardless, teaching himself how to use it as he lived in the hellish realm. He encountered a wild variety of Demonic Beings, nothing too crazy or too much for him to deal with, but his biggest challenge and the one he would use was a humanoid demon, seemingly similar to him but it was no shadowy doppelganger, it was just a Ryuh-like Demon that used a Broadsword like he and had great power. A duel ensued, blows were had, blades clashed and sparked with the ferocity of their battle until, finally, Isaac gained the upper hand over his opponent, opening his guard and plunging his blade into the Demon's chest. His opponent fell, dying quickly but not before giving one last bow to the victor.

 

With his death, Isaac began the most important part of the ritualistic pilgrimage: To take the Chalice of the Feast he had been given and fill it with the blood of this Demon then consume it. Draining as much as needed into the Chalice, Isaac took a moment to not only brace himself, but wonder just what he'd be able to do beyond this day. With this, he gladly downed the Chalice, every last drop of the Demon's life essence was taken in, it's strange properties not staining the Chalice or leaving any residue.

 

It didn't take long for Isaac to realize he could never have prepared for this.

 

Isaac's body immediately convulsed, the Chalice falling to the ground abruptly as he clutched his gut, his body began glowing with a formidable, unstable power. His very being was being altered, the transformation of one's Gift is never a smooth one despite how open shape-shifting is to change. His incredible aura caught the attention of Demonic Beasts far more cruel and ruthless than his honourable opponent ever could be...and they were hungry.

 

Taking hold of his sword and doing his best to control his rebelling body, Isaac desperately fought back against the beasts, immediately mortally wounding the closest one and expelling energy to injure those that attempted to group up on him. His slashes and burgeoning powers were enough to keep his fight going for several hours, beast after beast fell before him, but his limbs were tiring both from the fight and strain of resisting the demonic power's expulsions. It only took one mistake, one moment of relenting to seal Isaacs fate. He misjudged a slash, causing his blade to be caught in the jaws of a Hellhound, it's powerful bite snapped the blade in two and in an unclean fashion, shards of folded steel flew everywhere.

 

From there, that battle turned for the worst. Isaac fought back as hard as he could ever still, throwing punches, kicks and whatever he could, but soon the beasts overwhelmed him...and he was damn near torn apart as they savaged his body. His overflowing energy plus his current trauma was enough however for him to release another expulsion of energy, albeit a more monumental kind which vaporized a few beasts and heavily injured others, forcing them to retreat, but their damage was done: Both of Isaac's legs were gone, his right arm torn away, his right side utterly ravaged and his face still covered in cuts left by the Swordsman Demon and yet, seemingly miraculously, he was not dead. The insane amount of power exuding from his morphing physiology was enough to sustain him despite his fatal injuries, but the battered pilgrim hadn't a clue how long this would last for. With his remaining hand that had seen better days with it's missing fingers, he would crawl away from this madness.

 

Before he did however, a part of his power had settled in which caused something to happen to the body of the Swordsman Demon: His soul vacated his body, the latter seeming to shatter into many pieces that faded from existence. The red glowing orb of power then flew towards Isaacs mangled body and in a flash of light, it morphed into a massive Broadsword to replace his old one, albeit now with more power and a more appropriate appearance. The blade settled, holstered on his back, seeming to motivated the man to escape as he began crawling with a renewed vigor. He crawled up through several layers of the Demonic Realm, to the upper most layer that tended to spawn Inferni Gateways to many locations throughout Sectilis, anyone of them would do for him at this point, but he could feel his power beginning to settle as his body accepted it, but at the same time, began to weaken due to his grave wounds.

 

By the strength of his will, the grip of his hand and even the grit of his teeth, Isaac pulled himself into the nearest Gateway, arriving outside of Kalace, Lieth, happening upon a Scientific Expedition who was headed to the mountains to document strange weather patterns. Upon the sight of his mangled body and faltering will, the expedition immediately took action, utilizing the advancements of Kalace in Transportation to get him to the nearest medical facility, barely managing to stabilize his body, but his life was still in jeopardy, so they had to make a call to a Corporation known as Metallic Insights, a leading specialist in Cybernetic Technology that practically held the monopoly on Bionics and Full-Cyber Conversion in all of Lieth. The company answered gladly, taking complete control over Isaac's Operation, especially after they heard about the energies his body was producing. After fitting him with a basic Cybernetic Frame, a representative of M.I visited Isaac in his hospital bed and after a bit of small talk laid out a deal for him.

 

Metallic Insights would give Isaac a Cybernetic Conversion in order to restore him to health and increase his ability at the cost of employing him into their services. The company had a history of making "Devil Deals" with patients who demonstrate potential, Isaac was a prodigy compared to others they hired for their Cyborg Military Force. To ensure a positive response was given and in keeping with the usual term used for their deals, the representative let slip that they had deliberately "forgotten" about the main processor that would allow him to move, essentially saying "Join us or be paralyzed. Your choice.". Oddly, Isaac casually rolled his eyes and accepted their offer, so they quickly proceeded with his conversion, making him their most powerful soldier...and their least co-operative.

 

See, Isaac isn't one to be blackmailed, at least not totally, for he would work for them, do their dirty work, whatever. He would not however, follow their protocols nor directly follow orders, he wouldn't even stay in their base, repeatedly escaping, only coming back because he felt like it. During the operation, attempts to implant a Control Chip were made, to varying degrees of failure...each of the 4 attempts resulted in his body utterly rejecting it, the Demonic Powers he possessed utterly disintegrating the chip the first time, with an increasing ferocity the second time. The third time was with a different method, but this too failed, with the power actually spitting back at the operators. Like fools, they did it a fourth time, believing this time would be a giant success. Needless to say, it failed, the energy expulsion killing one of the operators stone dead via Cardiac Arrest, forcing them to conclude this wouldn't work, leaving them to deal with this rogue element who did enjoy his job immensely, but didn't care for his company slightly.

 

Like the other troops, he is frequently placed in Stasis to keep him quiet until required and they have had to, allegedly, make him the "Desperation Trooper", as he was the most powerful out of all of them, yet he was the hardest to control. During all this time, Isaac learned that his Elder Brother had not returned from his pilgrimage and his Younger Brother had disappeared, leaving him to do whatever he pleased, just without the two people he loved most.

 

The Great Disaster of Kalace has Metallic Insights on edge, as their Kalace HQ was under serious risk of destruction. As Isaac was in stasis there, they have sent the frequency needed to waken him. As to what he'll do, well, they had no idea. If the HQ was destroyed, he'd desert them entirely. As the synthetic attack escalated further, it looked like an inevitability and before they would know it, a Cybernetic Half-Demon Man would be running around unchecked.

 

Personality: Absolute snark beast, cool headed, amiable, cocky and an utter blood knight in regards to how much he enjoys combat, Isaac, despite the rough experiences of his life, has retained his rather laid-back personality, though if anything, it's just been enhanced and refined, the way he acts is like an art in that sense. The man is prone to making jokes, one liners and the sort during such heated moments, usually to get under the skin of opponents he has no fear of. He's not unstoppable and he knows it, but his newfound strength plus his cybernetic enhancements have made him a force to be reckoned with, so he'll be damned if he's not going to have some fun with it. He hasn't had any difficulty coming to terms with who he is as, well, becoming something Demonic was precisely what he wanted, the only thing he didn't expect was his bionic limbs, but they're fine to him, despite a few odd looks here and there, he continues to be a bit of a womanizer....well, a lot of one.

 

Despite how capable of mocking his enemies he is, when the cards are down and the situation is dire, expect the snark and smirking to fade entirely and prepare to run. During such situations, Isaac displays a far more serious, mature and altruistic attitude and no longer shows any form of mercy towards enemies. He also deeply cares for living beings in general and will go out of his way to help people in need. He does enjoy what he does, getting paid can be quite the plus, but in the end, he lives to use his new power to kill immoral people, slaughter cruel beasts and he has a desire to fight a rogue Divine.
 

Weapon: Insurgence - A massive broadsword forged from the Soul of the Swordsman Demon he clashed with, this blade is quite useful in regards to cutting down his opponents. The subjugation of the Demon's Soul allows the blade to work very, very well in the hands of Isaac, wielding it with great skill, supported by his already considerable experience with a Broadsword. As it is his first "Devil Arm", this blade has the tightest link to his soul, meaning it will reflect his current state. The closed pommel, retracted guards and closed skull indicate he has barely begun to explore his power.

Blade Appearance:

Religion: In contrast to his deep interest in Demonic Beings, the Divines and the Gods in general, Isaac isn't all for worshiping them in the slightest. He also believes literally all of them exist. The Old, established Gods also don't have as much respect from him as the New Gods (Such as Zion.) do, the reasons as to why are unknown.
 

Other important info:

- Absolutely loves Pizza. And Strawberry Sundaes. Give him them now.

- He is particularly good at playing Electric Guitar.

- He has no specific preference for a weapon, he likes all weapons that ever existed, he just happens to have a Broadsword as his first weapon.
 

Character Theme: 

 

I realize I have essentially made a Cybernetic DMC4 Dante. But that's not important. What is important, is what you think, Clouded Sun, buddy.

... I guess it's a good thing that my characters weren't really brought up in the storm of posts I woke up to. ._. And they're probably confirmed as the background characters now, darn.

 

 

I'm not trying to make anyone be in the background. There were lots of posts, but I tried keeping the pace as slow as possible for you and Sabre Lily, since I know you're morr afternoon posters.

 

Hmm... Not sure how I should play this... I'll keep trying to adjust the pace. The goal is to get people as active as they like without rushing anything.

I remember that fondly. Perhaps good ol' Gabriel and Nolan shall do tech battle once more!

 

Isaac: ...well, now you're just cheating. I fail to see the logic here, who doesn't have a soul?

 

 

Goddammit, Kuni. That another one.

 

Accepted.

Hanz: Void. I have, yet at the same time  I don't have a soul. Just like I exist and don't exist at the same time. Its complicated.

I was just joking around. Everyone else has other characters they're interacting with while mine are just kind of bouncing around while I try to find a good fit for them.

No, I understand where you're coming from. I do have a lot more characters than I expected to be in one place (I think we have, like, 12 active ones). The newer characters I'm planning to drop in other places, and possibly separate the rest of us very soon.

 

Either way, I encourage pulling others' characters to the side and talking with them personally. Obviously, the RP is in a strange, kinky place which is mainly my fault, due to my inexperience but I'm positive we can iron it out.
