Ok this is a guy i used for a little bit in an old forum which was never really active. Let's see if you think it can fit in. Most of his abilities are weapon/item based just for the record
Name: Rickamaru
Age:105 (just gonna make this an earlier part of his life. about 70 years after he signed the contract)
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Unknown
Known languages: Common, all human based languages, Abyssal (the language native to the plane of the abyss)
Appearance: Usually travels in a faded cloak that hangs to just above his ankles and shrouds his face in darkness. Without his cloak he is dressed in light leather armour that was made from the hides of the victims in the abyss. It was dyed black and he wears a shirt of chain-mail underneath it as well. He has Silver hair that is cut short. His eyes are green unless he begins to use his dark energy then they turn black like a demon. Pale and tall (5'10" ?). Agile and not muscular.
a general idea
- Spoiler:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Personality: Likes a challenge. Shows no mercy on an opponent no matter who they are. Calm and collected most of the time and hard to get angry. When possible, will strategize and plan out multiple courses of action before deciding on one to follow.
Weapons:
Lámina de la Muerte or blade of death. This weapon was forged for Rickamaru by arts known only to his sensei. It was a gift to him to commemorate the completion of his training. The blade never becomes dull and doesn't rust. Liquids of all kinda are incapable of sticking to its surface and just slide off. It also has the peculiar property that prevents any wounds it inflicts to continue bleeding unless extensive healing is performed. It is able to cut through simple weapons and armour as if they were made of paper.
Kunais/throwing stars. Rickamaru carries around a pouch of projectiles on his left leg that contain various poisoned weapons. The types of poison on the blade differ greatly however. Some are treated with a deadly poison while others merely induce paralysis. Other still can affect one's short term memory resulting in permanent loss and a short coma. This allows for Rickamaru to fade into obscurity easily and better cover his tracks when trying to avoid detection.
The Demon Scythe. The bundle that Rickamaru carries on his back is a scythe that has had its power sealed by the wrapping. Should Rickamaru's dark power usage spike really high the scythe will activate on its own otherwise it must be unwrapped first. The scythe is a weapon forged in the depths of the abyss which Rickamaru's master presides over. It is a flawed demon weapon that, while unsuitable for a demon to use, is far more powerful to a human servant. So Rickamaru's master gave the weapon to him and told him of the power it has. It was then attuned to his being so that only he could use it.
Additional information
- Spoiler:
-Being a demonic weapon, it's power can take complete control of the wielder's senses sending him into a possessed state where the weapon becomes the wielder. At this point it will turn into a being that is completely wrapped in dark energy and drain the life from everything around it. Prolonged exposure to it can cause others to pass out from the drain effect. To top that off, injuries do not slow the beast but do cause damage to the host body. The dark energies merely wrap back around that area. The best is capable of utilizing all of Rickamaru's powers and can create concentrated orbs of dark energy to do various things. The transformation is not permanent and its energy will run out after time. The beast will try to kill everyone around it no matter who it is and devour their soul to further increase its power. As it stands right now, not even Rickamaru knows just how many souls it has consumed already. The transformation occurs when a vast ammount of power has built up in the scythe and it overflows. While Rickamaru is normally able to contain it he can not do so if rendered unconscious or if the build up is too great. The energy is built up overtime as the scythe constantly drains a small portion of energy from Rickamaru, not enough to be noticed normally or to affect his energy levels. The scythe, even in normal form, attacks people on the spiritual level and attempts to devour their souls upon contact.
-Elemental Jewel Craft: Rickamaru has developed and mastered his father's legacy and is able to infuse raw elemental energy into special crystals. He can tap the power stored in them to use many abilities or to recharge his own energy.
- Spoiler:
An example would be using a small light crystal to cast minor healing on himself or another person. The bigger the spell the more energy required. This could call for a larger crystal or several others. Rickamaru's workshop is hidden and can only be accessed via his portal ability
Dark abilities (main form):
Main ability: Rickamaru is able to create portals of dark energy at any location. These portal link to the realm of his master but by utilizing two portals he can travel between locations he has coordinates for. He must step into the demon realm before he can exit another portal. Others who enter one of his portals must chance discovery by his Lord and even if with him will only have a limited protection,
Dark Meld: This ability allows him to meld into the shadows and the night making him completly invisible (ninja)
Night Eyes: He can see in complete darkness
Hatred of the Light: Due to his demonic based powers, he is extremely vunerable to light based abilities. Works well when he needs healed however. As a result however, if normal healing arts are performed on him as if this ability did not exist, then this will cause an immense power surge which more then likely will activate the possession mode.
Ageless: he doesn't physically age but he can be killed normally.
Intro:
- Spoiler:
Rickamaru was found as a young child but a wondering Ronin. The Ronin took pity on the boy and took him under his wing. As the child grew, the man taught him various fighting styles and the way of the ninja. When the boy reached adulthood he was told of the circumstances that he had come to train and live with his sensei. The boy then received a sword from his sensei and set out to find out what had happened to his family. After many years spent searching, he found where he used to live.
The house was a burnt out shell and looked as if it had exploded. When he investigated further, he found out that a group know as the counsel of the light had dispatched a rookie member to kill him before he became of age. Their oracle had forewarned them of the power he would come to possess in the dark ways. So the high and mighty bastards had his family killed before his own eyes. However, his father who was gifted in the art of elemental crystals used his entire store of fire crystals at once in order to destroy the assassin before he could bring harm on his son. The resulting explosion consumed both his father and the assassin. When they came to investigate they found the house in ruins and the boy nowhere in sight. They assumed that the boy was dead and the rookie died nobly for the cause of the light. Their oracle however was not able to predict the future since it had become clouded over with darkness to come. Darkness deeper then any before known.
He then vowed to kill the bastards who had done this and as he was about to leave noticed something in the workshop. Since it wasn't connected to the house it had remained fairly unscathed. In a desk he found his father's legacy, a book that went into detail on how to make the elemental gems. This knowledge lended further power to Rickamaru as he then ventured forth to get revenge.
As he sought them out he cam to the realization that the power he possessed now was not sufficient enough to challenge them. So he sought out the method of attaining power enough to destroy them. After many difficult rituals he had opened a gate into the demon realm, more specifically, the realm of the abyss. It was here that he met his lord and swore allegiance to him. He was then granted numerous powers. With these powers and a new set of armour and weapons from his new overlord he went forth to exact his vengeance. His attack on the council of light did not go as well as he had thought it would. While the low ranking members were no match for him and the mid ranks a slight nuisance, the high ranking and powerful officers put up a valiant fight. The intense battle resulted in the destruction of the Citadel of Light and the officers were slain.
The leader of the group however and a few of his more elite subordinates were not present and therefore have relocated and reformed the group. They now tirelessly hunt Rickamaru and seek to end his blight on this world.
