Wonderful. So, 1v3, then? Assuming you're all willing to work together. If not, we can do 2v2, or some other thing. As long as I get my practice ;]
I'll just save some time and post my template now,
Name: Kusa Rellik.
Age: 22.
Gender: Male.
Race: Human, and something else not quite liable for description. Some kind of monster, to say the least.
Class: Broad Swordsman.
Weapon/equipment:
- Broad Sword. This sword is Kusa's main weapon in battle. At a shy length of five feet, and being lightweight, it enables Kusa to maneuver it with ease. The sword is a sturdy steel, which is even edged untill it reaches the triangle tip, where it forms jagged on one side. The handle is made of alloy, and clothed by a red tape, leading to the hilt, of which is a silvery steel painted black.
- Mamorinuku. It is black, with half-inch long lines in the center of the blade, starting at the hilt, and continuing up the blade. It symbols how many souls the blade has taken. It lengths nearly six feet long, and almost eight inches in width. The blade itself is made of a durable steel. Light, but strong. The sword of one thousand souls. It's weilder can choose to take a dead human's soul, to strengthen the blade's endurance. Kusa came into posession of this, just before he was killed, at Mt. Ember, by a strange man in red armour. He fought this man, and failed. Fortunately, when Kusa was ressurected, he fought the man once more, and retrieved the blade. But, instead of returning it to the underworld as Hades instructed, he menaced the ability of taking souls, and continued walking the planet with it.
- Arm Guard. This padding was made by Kusa himself. It appears thick, on his left shoulder, but is quite thin. It fools most, but when struck right, it would shatter. It's overlapped sides withhold a stained silver, and the word 'RelliK' painted in black.
- Glove. Kusa's dependent right hand is sheathed by a brown wornout glove. Although, it may fool some when being struck by not raw fist beneath it's leather, but a sturdy metal sheet.
- The Devil's Ring. This ring is on Kusa's index finger, on his left hand. It allows him to temporarely disappear before all but elven eye's. Before his village was destroyed, a great and terrible king visit the land, and stayed in the most divine sanctuary in the village, for a small parliament vacation. Kusa snuck in his room at night, and stole jewelry. Unfortunately for him, he was caught, and stripped of all stolen goods. All but the ring, which Kusa held tight in his mouth while the soldiers searched him.
- Sanctuary's Rock. This rock is the only thing Kusa has left of his village. It is a swirl white blue, and has a hole near the top. It's just about an inch, if not a hair width less. Kusa wears it around his neck at all times. He doesn't know what it does, but he gets a strange feeling when he looks into it.
Occupation: Mercenary.
Abilities:
- Blitz. Kusa obtained the ability Blitz, from an old man, whilst on one of his Mercenary travels. He trained with this old man for two weeks, before mastering the skill. When used, Kusa strikes the ground with his broad sword, creating three small electric waves beneath the ground. It's results vary, but Kusa has found it possible to manipulate the direction of the three waves. Far apart versus hordes, and closer together for a single target.
- Kenji. This ability allows Kusa to jump higher than most, and continue jumping while keeping his endurance, and breathing level. The skill was obtained when he was a child, just after his village Sukai was destroyed. He was left with nothing, untill a young woman found him. She took him back to her village, Tanake, a secret village that was supposed dead. There Kusa learned flexibility, form, stance, basic fighting skills, and the art of Kenji.
- Devil's Ring. The ring allows him to become temporarely invisible. Only lasting for a short time of 30 or so seconds, Kusa cannot be seen by any, but the trained eye of an elf.
- Way of the Theif. This skill was obtained when Kusa was just fifteen years of age. He mingled with theives, and enjoyed being around them. Soon he became close friends with the clan, and found himself stealing and shoplifting for pleasure. Kusa regrets the horrible memories, but uses the way of the theif when in need of food, or such items.
- Soul Eater. The Mamorinuku collects a dead human's soul, to strengthen itself. The weilder can choose to take the soul, or allow it to return to the planets Underworld, or Haven. However, performing this requires some time and concentration, even a bit of raw energy.
- Destruction. Destruction is a powerful attack, much like Blitz, but with the Mamorinuku blade. It's power ranges between moderate, and extreme damage.
- Soul Manipulation. Kusa loses all control, in a blind and deadly fury. The evil soul within him takes over his body, manipulating and controlling him. The soul was bound to Kusa while in the underworld, as an eternal punishment for disobeying Hades himself.
Overall, Kusa's strength and magical abilities increase, making him an even more formidable foe. However, when the soul loses it's power over him, Kusa doesn't regain conciousness for some time.
The effects of being manipulated by the soul vary from time to time. For example, Kusa may recieve more magical increase than physical, or the opposite, depending on what it gives him.
- Tellah's Potion. After being resurrected, Kusa came upon an old travelling Tellah, in need of assistance. He helped the man, and received a potion, which heals wounds. The potion is able to heal small injuries, and help with severe damage.
Personality: Kusa Rellik; The Antihero. Before he died, he was a bright, young, and happy man. He cared about others, and helped with what he could. But now, he has turned into one of the most incredibly evil people in his galaxy. Some say ( the some who have seen him in person, and lived ) that he isn't himself anymore. He's someone entirely different. Something entirely different. The fact is, the soul infused with him is the cause of his treachery. Until this soul is removed, he will remain evil.
Appearance: Kusa stands five feet, eleven inches. He is average when it comes to muscle, and size, but is definately stronger than he looks when fighting. He has dirty blonde hair, that spikes even during the most accelerated of movements. He has blue eye's, and pale white skin.
Kusa is clothed by a rather different outfit from most. Blue worn out jeans, white shirt, and brown boots. His shirt is littered with straps, and the rope which holds his sword. On his left arm, he wears his armguard just on his shoulder. Further down, he is cuffed by a small chain bracelet. On the same hand, he wears three rings. His right arm is wrapped in a bandage from the elbow down to his worn out brown glove. The leather glove contains a sheet of metal, that allows Kusa's punches to be more effective on his opponents. Kusa's chest is padded by one round shaped steel plate, which covers very little.
His jeans, are held up by two black belts. Beat and worn down, due to the times he was forced to use them on his adventures.
Bio: Kusa ventured through a rather horrible, and chaotic life. His childhood years in the village Sukai were filled with fun, love, laughter, and kindness. When he was ten years of age, his village was attacked and destroyed, leaving him alive, but alone.
Three days later, he was found by a beautiful young girl, and taken back to a strange, ancient village that was said to be no more, named Tanake. It was a great village, surrounded by green plantlife, and exotic flowers of all sorts. Hidden in the falls of Pathmonia, a land of skeptical parliament. The hidden village Tanake brought many graces upon Kusa. He was trained in the art of Kenji, and treated well within the village. Although, some village people did not like the idea of an outsider. Soon they became angered with the cheifs decisions to let Kusa stay, and held a village meeting. It was decided that Kusa would be exiled from Tanake. After everything he had been through with the people-quests, adventures, hunts, and initiation- they were disowning him. And at the young age of fourteen. To him, these people must have been heartless.
Once again, he was left with no home. History seemed to be repeating itself...
After a few months of venturing by his lonesome, Kusa began to steal food from villages, and towns. In order to live, he must steal. So it was justified. Or so he thought.
Soon enough, Kusa realized what he was doing... But didn't care. Mingling with bandits was the next event in his life. Learning their ways, and stealing not only food, but weapons, and strange mythril armors. Soon he was a bandit himself. Skilled in the art, and pleasured by it. Untill he was fifteen and one half.
Kusa was sent on a mission to retrieve a priceless object, from a king. But, Kusa was caught, and brought forth to the king, whom give him the choice of a loyal soldier at the kings hand, or death. Kusa, made his choice quick, and easily. A loyal soldier he was to become, for two years.
Being a soldier was everything but easy. He spent a year trying to rank up, for possible early releasing. Once he had reached the great Maroon Knights, there was no other rank to reach, besides a king. And without the proper blood, it was impossible. So he remained among the Knights, fighting in the Great War of Ammecrine, and the Battle of Huenin, until his last year of service was complete.
After serving his duty, Kusa was released into the world as a citizen once again, only to become a mercenary for money. He was skilled in swordsmanship, and didn't ask much questions. A true mercenary if there ever was one. Young, but skilled.
On one of his adventures, he came across an old man. He spent two weeks at the mans house, on invitation. There, he learned a skill called Blitz. After he had mastered the technique, he solemnly swore never to forget of the mans kindness, and tell every lone traveller of his great heart.
By the time Kusa was seventeen, he was highely recommended among rich settlers, some merchants, and even a few Kings. His hard work as a mercenary had paid off, and it was time for him to go completely professional. Although, little did Kusa know, he would be getting himself into the most excruciatingly painful, and sorrowful adventure of his life.
At age eighteen, Kusa was arrogant enough to test himself, in every way possible. Travelling the world, and facing it's many horrifying creatures, and legends. Soon, he heard of the Upicha desert tale. No one had ventured into the desert, and returned. Kusa attempted this challenge, but failed as soon as day turned to night. Creatures of all sorts attacked him furiously. Luckily for him, a man traveling the desert outskirts spotted him, and returned him to his village, Tanake. Here, he was accepted once again, as a Tanakei.
After six months of living with the Tanakei again, he set out, to train as a swordsman. Temporarely abondoning his job as a mercenary, to find himself as a person, and explore the world, graduating his abilities.
At the age of twenty two, Kusa was offered a job. One Hundred thousand gil, to assasinate a wanted criminal. It seemed as if it was easy enough, for so much gil. Kusa took the job. He was finally ready to test his newly obtained strength.
Kusa tracked the man down, and followed him through the terrible Upicha desert. They soon reached Mt. Ember, where Kusa and the man fought. Sadly, Kusa lost his life, and the man was left unpunished for all he had done.
Soon, Kusa could see a bright light. The brightest light. But it did not blind him, nor scare him. It gladened him, in some strange, warm way. He had made it to the Haven. He had become one of Pathmonia's angels, or one of the "lost". Kusa began to sleep for extended periods of time.. dreaming away his life as an angel, disobeying the voices in his head.
Kusa then awoke in a strange, alien world. A world of which was referred to as 'The Under Haven', or 'The Underworld'. Kusa was then greeted by it's keeper. Hades. Hades told him of his wrong-doings, but stated that he was not to stay in the underworld, nor go to the Haven above. Kusa was to remain in Pathmonia, as an undead. Apparently, the man Kusa had been chasing was of great importance. Well, he wasn't important, but what he carried... what he carried, was far more important than anything in all of Pathmonia. The Mamorinuku. The Great Reaper's blade. Without it, thousands, and millions over time, would die without being sent to the Underworld, or even the Haven. "This," Hades' explained, "is bad business for everyone down in the Underworld, you see?" He then asked Kusa if it was a fair trade, and Kusa, of course, agreed that it was.
So, he set out through the Gate of Life. While on the road, or link, to Pathmonia ( from the Underworld ) Kusa encountered a lost soul. One of the most evil. While in the Gate of Life, no one has control of his/her own body/spirit/soul. So, it made it all the more easier for the evil soul to bond with Kusa's body. A chance for it to have life again. The journey from then on out, was extremely difficult. He fought for control over his own body, and at the same time, pushed through the Gate of Life, until... he reached the other end.
Kusa then awoke, in his body once again. But this time, with an overwhelming feeling of being full. Not as if he had eaten too much, but as if.. his body had taken in too much energy, or something of the like. He knew what it was; The soul.
A few days passed, and Kusa finally caught up with his killer. He confronted him, and fought, until he could barely fight anymore. The man swore he would take his soul this time. However, the soul within him wouldn't allow it. Sensing it's host near death, the evil soul that had bonded with him in the Gate of Life took over. Kusa's body rapidly changed into something stronger, and more magically capable. A direct link to an unfathomable amount of energy. And then, it killed the man, and took the blade for itself. Just before it blacked out.
He then awoke, drenched in the man's blood. The Mamorinuku lay beside him, shining in a dark aura. Then, he felt it; the soul. It had corrupted him. He now felt hate, despair, and emptiness within himself. He felt... twisted, and hungry for more death. And that, is how Kusa Rellik turned into... a monster.
In time, Kusa gained the ability to travel through, and throughout the Omniverse. Using the Underworld as a gateway, he has been able to transport himself to different worlds, using the faint link between the living and the dead. He does this, by manipulating the laws of death in Pathmonia. By opening The Gate of Life with the Mamorinuku ( which he discovered it was capable of doing ) he is able to travel through, and throughout the underworld. The underworld of course, links to several other worlds, and thus, his transportation. By himself, Kusa cannot reach a world that isn't connected to the same Underworld. He has done this once, but only by tricking Hades into creating a portal to the other plane.
His reasons for abusing the ability differ, but his main motive, is hunger for more souls. Feeding the Mamorinuku as he travels, he is able to manipulate his dark self, using the blade to control it's fury. Although, he hasn't had the chance to completely disable it's free will, he can still stop it from controlling his body. Or at least, for the most part.
Now, he finds himself haunting the Omniverse with his treachery, consuming the souls of each man, woman or child he encounters.. Untill one being stronger may happen to come along.
