[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]    Appearance Description: [/SIZE]

A little on the taller side, curved in the right places, fair skinned and graced with corn colored hair and golden eyes, Parthenia has a rather sweet feminine appeal game going on. Then you add on the Dark Chapter long coat, her wide brimmed hat and strap all those holsters onto her, and that game goes from sugar to spicespicespice. The weight of her thight-high boots is enough to herald her presence, and the moment she can find someone to take on her commission, you can bet she's gonna be adding spurs that jingle-jangle into the mix. And yes, some of those belts aren't necessary for her to have on. Her mark is a jagged bite on her shoulder, and a small birthmark she claims is a rose petal sits on the small of her back.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]    Personality: [/SIZE]

Parthenia is a woman with the spry youthfulness of someone ten years younger. She's energetic, mischievous, a little bit braggy and a lot a bit bold. Her Daddy didn't raise no princess, and as such she never truly learned to act like what the "standard" woman was expected to act like. In fact, most folks who don't know her methodology would swear she never takes a damn thing seriously. Her heart is in her work though. She's there for her brothers and sisters in the Dark Chapter, being one of the most willing to drop what she's doing or give everything she can to a fellow in need. Her upbringing by the troupe embedded family bonds not from blood, but from shared life experiences brought over time. In a way she was bred for this kind of work.

As much as she shows off there's a feeling of some kind of guidance with her shots; her accuracy with her choice weapons ranking up there with the best in the Dark Chapter. She says that angels find her fingers in the heat of things, and in truth she really does believe this. Her using this same saying to get younger men flustered just gives it the guise of foolishness. In the end, even years after the last show, performing is at the core of her nature. Whether it's a bit of spinning or full-blown quick draw action, and whether it's for a crowd or simply for the sake of thought, a day where Parthenia's guns don't leave her holsters is a grim day indeed.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]    History: [/SIZE]

Parthenia was born into a circus. Her mother was a trapeze artist whom died in childbirth. Her father was a showman who specialized in gun tricks. This being said, her mother and her father were not the only ones that had to do with her birth into this world. From the first day that she drew breath she was handled by every member of the troupe; from the tamer, to the clowns, to the ringleader himself. It was a small organization, and from that they built a bond for one another much like a village does. She was taught many skills from every trade under the tent. The clowns taught her to juggle, the ringleader taught her to read and write, the tamer taught her how to read an animal's body language, and the trapeze artists taught her how to bend and balance. But out of all these marvelous things she always loved her father's shows the most.

Fletcher "Red Wickes" Wickes was a wonder to behold. Not only could he shoot the flame off a candle from fifty paces away, he could do so in rapid succession while juggling his pistols. He could also do the same while the cap was atop a person's head without a single mishap. "Angels find my fingers" he'd say. His show was what kept the group on their feet with food in their mouths. Between the stylish flair and the respect from the fellow carnies, it wasn't long before Parthenia was looking to get in on the action as well.

She started off simple: getting use to disassembling, cleaning and reassembling her father's old guns. "Knowing a gun's heart and knowing a gun's guts are both equally important" he'd say. By the time she was eight she could take apart and put a pistol back together like second nature. After that she practiced handling an unloaded gun, then one loaded with blanks, and then - by the age of twelve - was capable of hitting the dead center of a target from thirty paces away. At age thirteen she performed in her first show with her father. She shot apples and oranges off of the tops of poles, and juggled guns between her father and herself while he hit targets. The show was met with resounding applause, garnering attention from even more folks than they had before. For a time, the troupe ate well and worried less about what was to come from the next town.

Then arrived the night when the show came to an end.

Camped out on the outskirts of a small town by the name of Rosenfeld, the attack came so suddenly that it was a wonder Parthenia remembered it at all. From what she would be told later by responding members of the local Dark Chapter, a third level daemon had followed one of the members home from town. By the time they arrived the troupe had been nearly decimated. Out of the twenty-six members only four survived. Parthenia counted among them, but only so from the sacrifice of her father. For a time the Dark Chapter housed the remaining troupe members. Looking back on this, they more than likely did so due to two of them having been injured during the attack, thus watching for the signs of an emerging Afflicta. Parthenia pulled through the feverish symptoms. The other - a boy whom was a helper to the tamer - did not.

With three members remaining they made the decision to go their separate ways. As much of a family as they were, something about the trauma of what occurred made it hard to be in one another's company. There were simply too many painful of memories that had yet to begin mending. At the urging of the clergy Parthenia remained with the Dark Chapter, where she began her studies to become one herself. It was the least she could do for their efforts. Of course she showed a high affinity for the Tempesta field, and upon graduation to an Indocto her trainer gifted her something she had thought to be lost years ago: Her father's pistols.

From there Parthenia worked her way on up in the ranks. Though her methods in the field were questioned quite a few times, her results were something that spoke for the skill this woman possessed. It was also shown not to be restricted to pistols either, as demonstrated when she added her Winchester to her arsenal. This was noticed by some higher-ups, and about three years ago she was handed the honorable title of Sacerdos.

ALOIS ASYL

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Height: 6'4

Eye Color: Crimson

[SIZE= 12px]Body Type: Lithe[/SIZE]

Rank: Milites

Years in the Dark Chapter: 11

Field of Expertise: Ensis - 'A blade stained in blood is one that has fulfilled it's purpose'.

Secondary Field: None.

Weapon of Choice: Alois' primary weapon is his personalized longsword, Tongue of the Sinner, the blade and guard comprising of blessed metal engraved with his favorite private prayer, spoken in his native language;

--- "Death is my eternal sentence, my absolute master and my solemn promise. As a mortal servant to God, may I find resolve and purpose knowing my life will come to an inevitable end. I seek no reprieve for my sins. To see no evil. To see no more suffering. Death will grant me that wish."

Alternate Weapons: A standard Vatican-issued shortsword, a dueling blade, modified with a special hook at the back.

Other Equipment: A holy ornament, a seed said to have come from the sacred gardens of 'Eden'. The precious item is encased in glass, which he carries hanging on a silvered and gold crest around his neck. It was a personal gift from when he passed his training, from a superior in the Vatican, though he does not know whom. The seed is said to slightly deter the harmful effects of Umbra. The rest are his usual package of field equipment, among them a first aid kit, a few vials of Holy Water, and a hard-copy of the Holy Bible.

Key Skills:

-

"Pain represents my mortality.--"

Needless to say, being an Ensis means he is an expert in close quarters combat. But his sword style is more ambitious and furious, especially when faced with a Daemon. Nimble as he is ruthless, Alois likes to take advantage of a Daemon's more savage nature. He seems to enjoy the heat of battle more than most, poses a heightened endurance due to the great pleasure derived in smiting down his unholy foes.

---

I have little left."

As an extension to the first talent, Alois has an abnormal tolerance to pain, almost ignoring it unless the action proves otherwise fatal or crippling. Visits to the Medicae Branch is something he's used to.

---

"Each human is born bathed in blood... may it make me anew."

Due to his hectic fighting method, involving many brandishes and swirls, Alois is especially adept at dealing with multiple targets. The young swordsman commands the attention of the Daemons around him otherwise they risk being cut. This allows to him to keep his less martial teammates safe while he issues the most damage possible at the cost of forcing himself in a numbers disadvantage. But this notion excites him. To live in the 'heart' moment, as he likes to call it.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personality:

At a meeting or gathering, one can't even tell Alois was in the room unless they really looked for him specifically. Even when he speaks all that comes out is a faint whisper. A misunderstanding is that he's shy and timid. He isn't either. He simply can't read the mood. Not that he really cares about such a thing in the first place. If he is made to speak, his opinions are often stated clearly and likes to keep everything on a straight-to-the-point level. Most of the time these thoughts are considered cynical by his peers and so he's learnt to filter them in order to quell any animosity. Alois simply has an inability to connect or understand emotions. Maybe it is his lack of knowing pain, he lacks a feeling of empathy towards living things. Though that is not entirely true considering his devotion to the order and the necessary sacrifices the chapter represents. Described to be a soulless machine, cold logic is how he conducts himself and how he makes decisions. The only time Alois seems to exhibit a genuine response is when standing face to face with death itself. The only time he can express feeling, a wry grin on his face. Perhaps wrestling with this ruthless entity is the only way for him to feel alive, being reminded that he can die?

In his desire to feel this sensation, he usually rushes forward into combat, an expression of gratitude when standing bloodied and surrounded by those who bestowed themselves as this gift for him.

Likes:

-Order

-Responsibility

-Chaos

-Conflict

-Elegance

Dislikes:

-Unruliness

-Flamboyancy

-Arrogance

-Incompetence

-Emotions

-Bullying

Aspirations:

-Obtaining respect from others.

-Becoming a high ranking officer in the Vatican.

Fears:

-Humiliation.

-Loss of Purpose.

History:

He never really belonged anywhere. Apparently even his parents didn't want him. As far back as he can remember, Alois had been living in an orphanage. At a very young age, people noticed something odd about him. He would never cry like the other babies or really express at all for the matter. The nannies just thought he had a mental disability or something and shrugged it off. Maybe he just needed time to mature? But being different soon became dangerous as he grew up.

People fear what they don't understand.

The other kids naturally bullied him for being unexplained and weird. When it was discovered he did not react to their kicks and punches and nasty remarks, they used harsher methods. They didn't see him as human. It got worse and worse, until eventually he started bleeding from a rather vicious blow. The other children were shocked. Not at the blood. But of his smile and chilling laugh. What was supposed to prove his humanity only further strayed him in their eyes.

They feared the crazed child, calling him a monster, an omen. They decided to lock him away. But this proved to be a fatal mistake. The dark emotion of his forced isolation and abuse mixed with fear, had garnered the attention of those who reveled in such chaos.

The Daemon slaughtered everyone and Alois could only hear from the safety of his lonely attic room. He kept his laughter to himself and soon earned an audience with the creature when it was finished with the others. It attacked him, the boy sitting without recourse in acceptance to his cruel fate. But it was not what he expected. An Exorcist had appeared just in time to witness the creature rend into his chest with its claws, killing it before it could injure the boy any further. They looked oddly at his grin, but nonetheless saw potential in the boy's lack of pain. Even long after he was brought into the Chapter for surviving the encounter, he was treated differently than the others. He did not hesitate to fight, nor did he seem to care about getting hurt. He was an erratic warrior and difficult to control, but this was perhaps his strongest trait. If an instructor pointed at a target and told him to attack, he would not give up until there was nothing left, using whatever means necessary to win. Although his talents in Daemon hunting can easily be witnessed, it is probably because of this cruel nature and defiant attitude that has caused Alois to be stuck so long at such a measly ranking of Ensis. The higher-ups of the organization see him as nothing but a tool, sent to scout and patrol dangerous locations without much forethought upon his well-being, but Alois sees no reason to complain. Each weapon and tool has their own purpose, and this was his, to do what others will not.

So long as he is needed, he will draw his blade and give his life for the Vatican.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]    Appearance Description: [/SIZE]

With short hair, compact muscles and a lack of curves, it's not uncommon for others to think the brooding firecracker is a more feminine boy at first. Her choice in clothing to represent her connection to the Dark Chapter is more towards a masculine image as well, preferring pants to dresses and skirts, and liking to keep her jacket short and close to her. Her method of attack demands as little frill and fluff as possible. Topped off with her bi-colored hair and her almost violet colored eyes, she does cut out quite the figure in a crowd. Her mark is five scars on her torso, and an intricate seal occupies the center of her back.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]    Personality: [/SIZE]

Larkin is not exactly the happiest girl on the roster. Ever since she was brought into the Dark Chapter she's had an abrasive air about her, keeping the majority of members at bay in terms of socializing. Much of her personal time she spends shut away in her room. Though she holds some contempt for her situation regarding the church and the Dark Chapter, she nevertheless will do what is asked of her during a mission. It'd be rude beyond words not to return thrice what was given to her. Her disdain for daemons is possibly the only thing to eclipse all of her other problems; the fire and snap becoming hot and tempered steel ready to lash out. When she catches sight of one during patrol, it takes a firm hand from a superior to keep her impulses in check, lest she disappear into the night after her quarry.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]    History: [/SIZE]

As far as Larkin could remember, she had always lived in darkness. It clung to the walls of the tunnels, even though they were alight with lanterns for what seemed like miles. It clung to the rooms where her and the other children slept, it clung to the rooms in which they played, and it clung heavily to those that watched over them. They were the chosen ones; handpicked to usher in something much greater than anything of them, or any others within this realm. Thus they were raised, and when the time would come and they were at the peak of development, they would give themselves over for their own good. The children were convinced of this. And so they lived, growing, learning and waiting in the darkness for the day when their purpose would be fulfilled.

But they were found out before the time could come, and as such they rushed the ritual into realization much sooner than intended.

In the aftermath of it all, a heavily injured Larkin stubbornly clung to life as she was brought to a branch of the Dark Chapter. While having been given emergency treatment on site, it took intensive work on the part of the healers to pull her out of the woods. Even then, the damage that had been done to her body was something beyond the experience of the members at that location, and what they had done for her surely wouldn't be all the attention she needed in order to heal. As such, Larkin was transported from there and over to San Circa for her training. While still fairly new to the numbers, it was home to a number of highly skilled individuals, including the top Domare user in the entirety of the Dark Chapter. They would be the ones to help her, and if things turned for the worse, the ones who would be able to mitigate the damage.

Larkin cannot be healed even half as easily by an Exorcismos as others, but instead certain Domare spells can do the job.
Because of her newer innate senses, Larkin is capable of detecting and tracking down Umbra clusters much like Daemons can.

Tobi Naefaerne · Oct 3, 2016

Character Name: Saverio Pascarella

Alias/Nickname:

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Height: 6'0"

Body Type: Athletic

Rank: Regimen

Field of Expertise: Tempesta

Weapon (main): Recurve bow

Weapon (secondary): Revolvers and Throwing knives

Equipment:

Appearance:

Appearance Description: Saverio seemingly always has messy hair regardless of the time or occasion, while also boasting a claw mark that runs from the lower left side of his chest to the upper right that he got from a rank 4 lesser demon as a child. Though usually those of his expertise usually don't have too strong/muscular of an upper body, Saverio's constant bow and parkour trainer led to him developing strong back and arm muscles. To accompany his various weapon trainings, there are many cut and piercing scars on his hands as well.

Personality: Saverio often times loses himself in whatever he's focused on, forgetting the world around him if it's something that strikes his fancy to much. That, coupled with his urge to be able to protect everyone he can leads to his extra hours of training that he didn't plan. While out in the field, Saverio goes with his gut feeling over all but basic logic, believing that there's some spirit or higher force guiding him. On top of that, he'll often times fuss over his comrades like a mother hen. While outside of work and during his free time Saverio doesn't spend training, he goes around wherever in search of sweets, or 'interesting' people. During his searchs Saverio will end up doing anything from helping the elderly with heavy objects to entertaining children. Other times he'll strike up a conversation with local shop owners to learn about the local goings-on. If the situation ever arises, Saverio will also attempt to help other members of the Dark Chapter with anything outside of field or paper work.

History:

Saverio was born to two Sacerdo Dark Chapter members. Though his early life was happy and care free, Saverio had an idea of his parents profession by the time he learned to speak. To him, his parents were heroes that would fight off monsters. Though he only figured out the 'monster' bit after he learned to read. By the age of five Saverio started showing promise with the bow as he started following his mother around as she would practice, bugging her to show him the basics, hindering her own training at times. Around the same time, Saverio started sneaking around at night to examine his father's seals; though at the time he had no idea what they were or could do, so he never took them to memory till later.

Though, as all good things, his carefree childhood came to an end. A letter had come requesting his parents presence somewhere that Saverio couldn't remember for the life of him. So, as the loyal Chapter members his parents were, the set out on the road, taking Saverio with them. All was going well till a night stop midway through the trip. Though Saverio couldn't see Umbra or Demons, he could feel that something was off, being unable to sleep. Before he knew what was happening, Saverio's parent's had grabbed him out of the place he was sleeping, a large claw mark ripping through where he was. The rest was a blur, his father reciting lines out of one of the tomes Saverio had nosed around in before being cut short. Then his mother was shooting at a target he couldn't see. Several sharp pains then drove across his chest as his voice exploded out of his throat. After that Saverio had passed out.

Waking up a few days later Saverio found himself in a church. He understood what happened after the Father of the church talked to him. From all their reports, Saverio's parents died protecting him, even leaving their personal equipment to him. After about a week of grieving and recovery Saverio came to a decision; he would continue in his parents footsteps. From the wound he had received from what could have only been a higher level lesser demon, Saverio soon figured out he had become Afflicta. As soon as he knew that he bugged the Father of the church that was now his home to allow him into the Dark Chapter. Though Saverio was still young, he showed promise as a Tempesta. Having already started his training with a bow, Saverio would show off his skills with it as proof that he was ready. Though that wasn't enough, so he started learning to throw knives and rocks at targets. After a year and a half, the Father allowed him and began Saverio's general training. With great determination, he made it to Indocto in about two and a half years.

Having already picked his field and been training in it, Saverio made it to Milites by age Thirteen, Saverio started to slow down on his progress. The death of his parents had fueled him thus far, but as time passed, it weighed less and less on him. As his teen years flew by, Saverio got top marks in the Tempesta field. As Saverio reached his twenties he started looking into the profession of Domare. Having held onto the Seals and other items his father left him, though he could only begin to make left and right out of them recently. Even after all his training though, he couldn't fit into the role of a leader for a long time, thus preventing him from rising in rank. Though the Father of his church asked him a few times from the time he reached twenty if Saverio would like to rise in rank, he declined because he was asked in private, and wouldn't get frowned upon if he refused the offer.

A few months ago, the Father decided to ask him in a public place, in a form of toast. Making it so Saverio had to say yes and take a dive. Since then Saverio has said his goodbyes to the Father as there was already a Regimen in the area. So now Saverio has relocated to the San Circa till the time he's given an area and team to lead.

Since being in San Cira, Saverio has been taking part in most of the nightly watches, only missing some because he trained too much during the day. He's taken some steps to familiarize himself with other Chapter members, but he hasn't done anything too out of his way. Mostly Saverio has been burning time till he had a proper team assigned to him. However, some have come to know him by his tenancy to always grab the last of sweets from the kitchens of the church of any given day and the way he'll travel on rooftops rather than the streets.

APPEARANCE

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Weight: 180lbs

Height: 6' 2"

Body type: Slender; well defined muscle but not bulky or broad

Hair colour: Strawberry blonde

Skin colour: Pale while not being anything sickly or unnatural

Eye colour: A light blue

SKILL

Rank: Regimen

Field of Expertise: Skye used to be a full Ensis, but after several setbacks and encounters has now switched his field to Exorcismos to even better protect and serve those in need.

Weapon (main): A thin, one handed silver blade engraved with the phrase 'Verbum caro factum est'.

Weapon (secondary): Not a weapon but a shield, bearing a crest with two lions fighting, and the words 'illumina, custodi, rege et gubernare.' going over and over again at the edges.

Equipment: A chain-mail shirt that goes below his robes, and several plates that go on top (shoulders, upper legs and breast). Some holy water and a well stocked first aid kit.

Main Spells:

'To those that enlighten me. To those in my custody. I will rule the dark with silver light. I will govern evil with the sword in my hand. Do not fear the night.'

This is a pre-battle spell that has a wide range of effects depending on where the heart of the speaker is. The better the intentions, the stronger the effects are on the caster and the people near him. If it is Skye that casts this on himself alone, it will coat his shield in a soft silver glow that burns daemons, and once he gets tired a silver glint comes over his eyes that replenishes some physical stamina/energy. To the people near him this spell won't have as strong an effect, but it might boost their courage and hide their presence from daemons. Over time however the spell will wear off, and it cannot be cast in daylight or with the intent to kill people (not even those that oppose Skye).

'The word of God became mine and I commanded the word to become flesh, and the flesh to become ash.'

This spell coats Skye's sword in bright silver flames for a short period that hurts daemons but not people. There are several things he can do with this:

Aduro: By keeping the flames normal and only on his sword he will have a longer period buff (~20 minutes)
Lacero: If he needs a slightly longer range or to divert large groups of monsters he can make it so when he slashes with his sword a line of fire gets formed that deters/cuts daemons. He can only do this a few times and then loses the flames if he doesn't recast.
Levo: This can be considered Skye's ultimate ability, but it is solely dependent on who is around him. By pointing his sword at the receiver he will channel all energy stored in the sword to that person, practically given them a power overload that would allow them to cast one massive spell or attack.

This spell cannot be cast again until his blade has restored power to itself which usually lasts about 3 hours. Taking this power also tires Skye, meaning that if he casts it a second time during one night he will be slower.

'Let my power protect them'

A simple but effective shield spell that either protects a single target immediately against a few physical hits (quick, physical form) or makes it so umbra burns away and a stronger ward is cast around the target (longer, misty form). It appears as a white bubble or mist around the target, that degrades with each hit. Currently Skye's power is only good enough to cast the quick form ~10 times and make it last for 3 hits, with each subsequent cast making him clearly more tired, the same goes for the stronger form, but here it is only 5 times and the shield degrades over time.

If he absolutely has to he can repurpose this spell to instead form a small 'safe-haven' that clears umbra in the air and deters demons from entering, but this does not last long and takes a very heavy toll on Skye that leaves him weakened to the point where even umbra would be detrimental.

'Oh Lord, do you not see what ails your children? If only you would let me take their place...'

This can be taken quite literally; to restore the wounds of others Skye exchanges his mental power for their bodily recovery. This type of exchange isn't that efficient, and healing anything above a scrape or a bruise will have a clear visible impact on him. It can be used to clear umbra from a wound. If he uses this power too much in a short amount of time it'll result in heavy fever and hallucinations. There is a positive side however; he cannot die from healing people because he'll fall out before it ever gets that far.

A second version of this spell is when Skye ups the efficiency by physically taking on the wounds; this allows for him to cast a healing aura in the form of a soft silver light spreading. To anyone it engulfs they will feel relieved, their scrapes and bruises healed and their energy reinvigorated. But the cost is high, and Skye will be weakened physically and energy wise. This is his most dangerous spell as it can drain and wound him, leaving him susceptible to death by bleeding out or succumbing to umbra.

PERSONALITY

Skye is a very compassionate, caring person, unlike his name might suggest. He will defend his ideals and your life to the death if he must, even if he dislikes you personally. Originally trained to be a priest and healer he has no trouble with blood or personal issues, and he'll gladly listen to someone or patch someone up if they come to him. In groups and with close friends however he takes on a slightly more sarcastic tone, and tends to keep people at a distance with jokes.

Yet underneath the kind person lies someone utterly afraid of failing in protecting and fixing the world; this has made him nearly rigorously disciplined and hardworking, to the point of being completely blind to his own troubles and state of being. Don't be surprised to find him slaving away all his time yet still commenting on how little he is doing.

ORIGIN

Skye was born as Kael Immitus; a bastard son to a great and proud line of Dark Chapter members in a city to the far north of the region. After a bad fight between his mother and father, his mother cheated once, which led to an accidental pregnancy. Though his parents worked out their differences and wanted to keep the affair an internal matter, Kael had always looked different from his 4 darker haired siblings. His parents loved him, and treated him equal to their other children, but a decade of rumours wore down on them.

In the end his parents still were ashamed of there being a bastard child in the family line, and if Kael ever were to have children, it would both be a risk and dishonour. This was the reason he was initially taught as a priest at age 12; so he could take his vows of celibacy. This goal changed however as he got bitten by a level 2 lesser daemon, nearly losing his hand in the attack. It left him afflicted and capable of seeing daemons.

The attack changed a great deal of things; and the feeling of being powerless, combined by his sudden ability to see such dangers as daemons changed his views on the world. He felt he did not want to spread religion, but instead wanted to protect. In a growing disagreement with his parents over taking his vows, he asked for more time to think about it by joining the training process to become an Indocto. Being granted two years delay, Kael trained hard in San Circa and found his strengths laid in swordfighting and defending the innocent. Being days away from the influence of his parents also helped clear his mind.

Perhaps he still would have taken his vows, if hadn't it been for her.

On a perfectly normal spring day, he had accidentally sprained his wrist in training, and had been given the day off for it to rest. While walking to his home (his parents having paid for a separate house for him), he instead managed to find himself defending a local girl from a mugger. After chasing the man away, he remained in contact with her, and as one thing led to another, soon found himself in love with her. Alaia.

At the ultimatum of his 16 birthday, he couldn't find it in himself to take a vow not to love her. No matter how hard he tried to forget Alaia, tried to love all people equal, she somehow always managed to wriggle a little more out of him. This inability to take his vows, led to a big argument with his parents, and ended with Kael returning to San Circa without having taken any oath or promise. Except for the one where he'd defend the people.

Two years later he had made it to Milites, and his parents offered him one last chance to take his vows, or to have his name and heritage taken away. Again refusing, having found that he'd rather love and work his way up than to throw out his ideals and be a lonely noble, he agreed to have his titles stripped. Instead taking up the name Skye Stern.

Though bittersweet, it wasn't necessary a bad ending. For another year he lived happily with Alaia, engaging to her soon after. Perhaps he was regarded as a bastard and an outcast, yes, but perfectly he satisfied with not being a noble and finding joy in work as a Milites and his love for Alaia. Until she died.

While he was away, part of the city got hit by a daemon attack, one in which she was killed. Leaving Skye alone without a fiancée and the rest of his family, and perhaps more broken than he dared admit. Strange how life worked. Working away the grief he simply buried himself in training and study. In fear of being abandoned again, he decided that you couldn't be if you never got close to someone, always keeping his distance with a mask of a feigned being fine and witty. Not unfriendly, yet still friendless.

That day he finally took a vow: to never again let someone die under his watch. No matter what.

Currently Skye has only been improving himself; due to his weak hand he was passed over for promotion to regimen once, for the reason that he 'could not improve any further as an Ensis'. However in dealing with Abel's lost leg and the death of several people he did know that he could not let himself grow stagnant and comfortable as a milites; instead he went to look for other ways to gain more power as to protect people. In doing so he returned to his original training as an Exorcismos before he became hellbent on knighthood; with some help from Abel he adapted the dormant spells on his sword and shield to have protective and supportive aspects, and focused on mastering several standard spells with a similar purpose. Now more a paladin than a knight, he earned his promotion as a Regimen and his only goal is to find enough power within himself to protect not only those around him, but the whole world from Daemons if he could. Keeping up both with practise in sword and shield and in healing and protective Exorcismos he has been putting in as much effort as humanly possible to not let either skill slip away from him.

OTHER

Skye lost part of his hand, his pinky and the upper two phalanges of his ring finger in the daemon attack that left him afflicted. Instead he has metal prosthetic fingers. These are slightly mechanic, and through a system of internal wires and a band around his hand, they move parallel to his middle finger. Meaning if he bends his finger the prosthetics will bend too. His hand/wrist as a whole is very weak though: he can only grab at 10%-15% normal strength, and feels about equal as little in it.

In full he usually wears a system similar to the image below, with a mechanical system to lock his shield in the bracer and hand protector. This is only part of his armour though, and if the tethers are broken or he doesn't wear the gear, he will lose some of the function in his arm. He will still have his finger prosthetics though, those he never takes off unless absolutely necessary.

To conceal the scar and his hand he usually wears gloves; leather ones in the winter, and thinner wool, fingerless ones in summer. If he has to be in a dress uniform or can't wear gloves to a certain setting, he will have engraved, silver prosthetics.

NOZOMI SORREN

Character Name: Nozomi Sorren

Alias/Nickname: None

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Height: 5'10

Body Type: Lean and Athletic

Rank: Sacerdo

Field of Expertise: Ensis

Weapon (main): A spear that can separate into three interconnected segments via chains.

Weapon (secondary): When her spear disconnects, she dual-wields the bladed ends like daggers.

Equipment: Holy water which she uses on her spear, a single book that she always carries on her person

Appearance Description:

In regards to her face, there's a mole under her lip on the left side, and her bangs always seem to be falling in her face and obscuring her violet irises. In regards to her body, there's a large scar on her back that she always hides, never letting anyone see it. In regards to her uniform, she dare not make any alterations to it, but you'll rarely see her wearing it in battle. Growing up in the streets, she prefers wearing her own clothes while fighting.

Personality:

Nozomi doesn't show her emotions all that often, having no reason to do so. Occasionally you can get a rare smile out her, but good luck with that. She takes herself seriously, and this shows in her outward appearance and attitude, as well as her fighting style and her actions. No matter the situation, she can retain her cool and be calm and collected. Even in the heat of battle, she can think through any situation with crisp clarity, never letting the situation alter her mental or emotional state. However, this does not mean that Nozomi is not kind, as she will make sure she can do what she can for others, despite not really having any personal connections to almost anybody. She's a loner, hiding herself and her emotions behind a wall that she wouldn't dare let anyone else in.

Likes:

- Being of help to the chapter

- Training herself to be better

- Reading

- Learning

- Occasionally a good conversation

Dislikes:

- Sweet things, except for peach tart

- emotions

- Being useless

- When things go wrong

- Not knowing what to do

Aspirations:

- To be the most useful member in the Dark Chapter

- To learn as much as she can about everything

Fears:

- Not being of use

- Not knowing what to do

History:

It's a stereotypical beginning, really. At a young age, Nozomi was orphaned, her parents and younger siblings killed off by forces she didn't understand. This left her to fend for herself on the streets, not necessarily the best place for a little girl to grow up. However, when she was 7 years old, on one of her runs to steal some food from unsuspecting rich people, something caught her eye. In the middle of an alleyway, during this particular rainy day, lay a black rose. Nozomi had never seen anything like it before, so both out of curiosity and intrigue that she could sell it for money, she picked it up, ready to take it home. But when she did, the flower fell apart in her hands into these spores, which then absorbed into her body. Freaking out, she tried to swat them off (unsuccessfully), and didn't notice the daemons that had been sneaking up on her. When she finally noticed them, it was too late, and they began attacking. Nozomi would have been killed, had a team from the Dark Chapter not been sent to patrol the area. They killed the beasts and found her half dead, her injuries grievous enough to leave nasty scarring on her back, but she was still somehow alive. They took her in and nursed her back to health, and she was adopted one of the higher up members.

From then on Nozomi grew up constantly being around Dark Chapter members, who decided on a whim to expose her to what they do and see if she had any skills. To their surprise, she picked up on things very easily, and it was decided that her training would begin. These Dark Chapter members had trained young kids before, but Nozomi seemed to have a higher aptitude than kids they normally were used to. They offered to allow her to join the Dark Chapter a few years earlier than they normally allow, but she declined, waiting until she was 14 to join. Her skills were matching on par with people much older than her, and in only 10 years she was promoted to Sacerdo. She could have been promoted much much sooner, but she preferred to keep herself at a lower rank until she was sure she was ready. Thankfully the Dark Chapter was willing to work with this. Due to this, there have been other members who have been in the organization at ranks of similar or higher than herself who have been in for less time, not that she cares all that much about her status. Nozomi is a loyal member of the chapter, dedicating her life to the group that had once saved hers.

Maou The Great · Oct 5, 2016

Character Name: Orlando Scollato

Alias/Nickname: Orlando, geezer , the old man
Age: 61

Gender: Male

Height: 5" 7'

Body Type: Thin but not to the point of weakness

Rank: sacerdos

Years in the Dark Chapter: 46 years

Field of Expertise: Exorcismos (Best at bolstering troops and demoralizing the enemy)

Weapon of Choice: The family bible.

Alternate Weapons: A priest's censer on a chain connected to a long silver staff

Equipment: A lighter, an extra pair of glasses, a simple pocket watch, a large glass flask of holy water, two extra portions of incense.

Appearance: ----->/monthly_2016_10/Mihai.Mihaeroff_600.1100145.jpg.f6ac58e3d9693789da440a75c48a3c9c.jpg

Appearance Description: Orlando is an old man rife with wrinkles and ashen as a ghost. Despite his silvery grey hair and thin figure he manages to cut a strong silhouette and breaks the mold for most men his age who would be likely be a tad frail. The only other notable features he has are the scars on his hand and one across the side of his forehead. The scars are from Daemon, one intentional and the other not so much.

Personality: Orlando Salvadore Scollato is a simple man, he's easy to get along with so long as you don't do anything stupid but people more often than not do exactly that; which over the years has given him a rather grumpy and to some intimidating demeanor. He might of been able to have been described as a man of few words if he didn't have to lecture those that continually step out of line. That being said he has little patience for most people, in particular the youngins. He's not afraid to say what he is thinking and should he decide to do so it's gonna be loud. Now make no mistake Orlando is a bit of a crotchety old man but it's because he cares in some form or another, even if he seems to hate your guts and calls you and imbecile at every given opportunity. Orlando is of course a deeply religious man and his faith is unshakable, though he's not opposed to the occasional jab or joke at the church he sure as hell won't put up with blasphemers and disrespect.

Orlando is a firm believer in the whole "respect your elders" thing but he sees respect as mutual. He won't demand more than he's earned from anyone but he isn't about to put up with any uppity brats giving him lip either. Despite his outwardly unfriendly appearance he wouldn't mind someone approaching him for conversation, be it some youth asking for advice or someone just looking to make small talk or to have a friendly debate. Orlando while stern and a tad cold can be generous and protective towards his fellow people. He is the kind of person that if he had to he would be willing to play the martyr and sacrifice himself to ensure the safety of others but he'll still be the grouchy old man he is while doing it.

Likes: The occasional smoke, early mornings, the sound of church bells, the scent of coffee , fine art

Dislikes: Brats, blasphemers, weak willed individuals, whiners , hats

Aspirations: Orlando wants to find a way to close off the Daemons' access to the world permanently, he understands this is an unlikely wish but he wont change his mind until he dies. As a more possible goal Orlando seeks to make a difference as a member of the dark chapter until his legs cannot hold him and his lungs no longer draw breath, not a happy dream but a good one as far as he is concerned.

Fears: Orlando fears excommunication to a great degree, he's given most of his life to the church and if he were to be cast off by his faith it would be for nothing. Most of all Orlando fears he may one day live to see a world entirely bathed in fire and umbra, for they are only humans pushing back against the tides of hell itself.

History: For a majority of it, Orlando, has lead a pretty unremarkable life. He was born and raised a stones throw away from the Vatican. His family had been members of the dark chapter for many a year and so he was born into that life. Both of his parents were Exorcismos and he would go on to follow in their foot steps. At the age of fourteen he was brought into the fold by way of inducing his a status as an Afflicta with the help of a bottom tier daemon. The encounter was brief and not particularly exciting. He was brought into a room a small spider like daemon was allowed to bite him on the hand and that was that. The daemon while small was still a rather large spider as far as spiders go and managed to leave the puncture scars on the top of Orlando's hand. In a way he liked the idea of having those scars, to him it meant he would be contributing to something greater than himself along side his parents. His training began and he progressed quickly, learning the trade primarily from his parents who had already familiarized him with being an Exorcismo to an extent prior to this.

Time went by and soon he became more and more adept at empowering his allies and bringing down Daemon, eventually he reached a point where it would have been possible to branch out into another discipline of his field but he remained what he was and instead chose to hone his skill as it was, even more. With time he developed his own method of doing things and found his niche in the dark chapter. His ability to empower his comrades through faith and at times debilitate any daemons that became a problem earned him a commendation or two on a local level and soon enough he was given a new rank and began to be assigned to aide different teams far and wide. The higher ups in the church were aware of him as a rather exceptional resource but outside of that only those he worked with personally ever knew he existed. He wasn't a secret weapon or anything of the sort, he was and still is just a man who's damn good at his job. His assignment up until recently had been relatively quiet but he has received new orders to bolster the San Circa forces after recent events having taken place there.

Trivia!

*Orlando is left handed

*He has a particular dislike for wearing hats and yet he still wears his anyway

Appearance Description:

One of his eyes is deep lust red in color and he has several medium sized scars on his back.

Personality: He's grown far more stoic and serious over the years but not far underneath that is a very warm hearted and bubbly man.

Fears:

*Confined spaces/ tight quarters.

*His father's wrath if he is found out faltering or failing to any degree.

History:

*He was born into a very strict religious family with a long, proud history with the Dark Chapter. His father made sure that he was indoctrinated into the church and trained at a very young age via his strict guidance and instruction. Constantly drilling it into his head that it was his duty and pride to uphold the family tradition of fighting the daemons and never allowing him to have aspirations of his own. His only dreams were to be those of his family's.

However, as the boy grew he became more and more restless. Spending most of his teen years and well into his mid-twenties skipping out on whatever lessons and night watch he could and causing all manners of trouble and debauchery even if it would bring about a beating. He thought himself extremely clever whenever he was able to avoid being caught and boasted of how he only grew even moreso with each victory over his father. Treating the whole thing and even the very idea of the Dark Chapel and deamons as nothing but a joke.

This being until the day they were ambushed and his father nearly killed. All blame was laid upon him as he was assigned to be lookout that evening with a few of his friends. He immediately saw it as the perfect opportunity to run off. Laughing at how easy it was after goading the others into joining him, he knew they could never say no to a dare and hated being called cowards as well. The daemon were defeated but not without severe injury and loss within the group. Jarring Sisceal into a sense of clarity as the reality hit him like a ton of bricks. He fled the guilt by heading to San Circa without a word to anyone in his family or friends. Taking his training seriously for once in his life and finally choosing a regimen and achieving an official rank.

Other:

He has heterochromia

Character Name: Iris Sescelsia

Alias/Nickname: Iris, Sescelsia

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Height: 5' 6"

Body Type: Curvy

Rank: Regimen

Field of Expertise: Exorcismo (Specialized in support (like casting protections), defending and healing)

Weapon (main): Pastoral Staff / Crosier

Weapon (secondary): A few cans of holy water, a small thurible carefully kept inside a black leather box with a few small bag of incense and coal, a pocket lighter.

Equipment: A notebook full of hymns and important verses, prayers, and notes in case she forgot. She kept her secondary weapon in a thigh pack.

Appearance:

Appearance Description: A canine bite mark on her left shoulder

Personality:

Iris's bright personality might be too bright for several people, who will see her as obnoxiously loud. Not that she can be blamed for that, as she loves befriending people! She always wanted to know as many people as possible, building relations and connections. Is that a new recruit? Hi, how are you! Is that a Tempesta from another branch? Hi, nice to meet you!

And when Iris started a conversation or joined in one, she will keep it alive. Telling stories and throwing in jokes, starting a new topic when the last one ended (In the other side, this chatty side of her probably contribute on her ability to talk faster than average people).

But despite all the brightness and positivism, Iris is very scared. No, not of the Daemons. She is scared of losing someone else again, losing her home again. She worries about little things, hesitant about making a decision, and making a huge fuss over a small problem and stressed own self. "Is that a slash wound? AREYOUOKAYISITHURTDOYOUWANTMETOHEALYOU?!"

This resulted in her selflessness, borderline self-sacrificial, especially during combat. She prioritizes everyone before herself. Safety, health, well-being, etc. The team comes first, before herself.

Likes:

People in general.
Singing.
Learning / studying something new.
The Chapter
Finishing a mission with her team where no one gets injured.

Dislikes:

Daemons, especially ones that shaped like a wolf.
Reckless people who are stupid enough to charge the enemy head on.
Feeling powerless/Being unable to help when she had too.
Alcohol, she's a weak drinker and very worried that she might get drunk in public.
Being in a situation that she cannot control or predict even for just a little bit.

Aspirations:

Protecting her new family from harm and danger, no matter what.
Becoming stronger, so that she can give a better support and protection out in the field.

Fears:

Becoming weak, being unable to support and protect her friends and the people around her.
Death. The past still traumatized her, she is scared of thinking of what could happen if the worse ever happens and had wake up at the middle of a night from nightmares of thinking of what happen if the death was indirectly caused by her impotence.

History:

There is nothing that she loves more than listening to her father preaching,and her mother's music and how beautiful her brother and sister sounded when they sang together. Iris was born to a family of a priest, and the small church is what she called her home (Her family lives in a small house behind the church as they are also the take carer of the building). Iris never asked much in life, her prayers are always filled with gratitude. She slept under a roof, ate warm food and blessed with such a kind and caring parents and two loving older siblings. But in a cruel twist of fate, she lost everything.

Which, sadly, she doesn't even remember. She only remembered the rain, the fire, and the wolf howling. She woke up in a medical ward owned by the Chapter. She was lucky, they told her. That is all, they never mention what actually happened or what happened to the rest of the family. And Iris never asked. Somehow, she just... knew. Her scar and vague memory told her more than enough.

With nowhere to go, no place to return and no one to take care of her, Iris asked to be allowed to enter the Dark Chapter. The Chapter hesitates, but Iris convinced them by presenting and demonstrating her knowledge of prayers and verses and hymns.

The Chapter is now her new home, and Iris is trying to create another 'family' for herself.

Other:

She has a deep, resonant singing voice. But because she is not confident on her singing skill, she rarely sang outside mission/battle.
Iris disliked the uniform given by the Chapter, complaining that it is too big and too hot to wear. So she modified it into something that will not hamper her movement and looked a little bit more stylish.

Fragile, vulnerable, and delirious, Franklin has lost a grip of his own reality. In his two-month absence, Franklin spent an eternity living in pain and fear. His unbalanced mind originates within the time spent within the labyrinth. The suffering he induced was for nothing less than entertainment, time was at a standstill within that realm; Franklin’s torture was a prolonged one. Because of this, Franklin has a tendency to spout out senseless comments in an aggressive manner. Sometimes he would even laugh and get jolly in moments that would seem odd. Bit by bit Franklin’s thought seems to be sleeping away. Signs of his former self could be seen; his dry sense of humor is intact, as well as he need to keep things orderly. The drive to kill daemons has grown into an obsession, going to sadistic levels when dealing with them.

History:

Franklin lived a life seeking redemption. His family didn’t come from humble beginnings, in order to put food on the table Franklin became a servant to a man by the name of Branford, a powerful aristocrat. Through Branford, Franklin obtain an education and a suitable standing in society; however, it was because of this that he made his mistake. An affair was made with Branford’s wife. Despite the fleeting pleasure, Branford had caught on and had sought to end Franklin’s life in retribution. Instead, a daemon took the master’s life, a burden Franklin carries with him today. Franklin’s life would’ve been forfeit if it wasn’t for the Dark Chapter. Franklin entered their ranks, having a passion to end the unholy threat and seek peace of mind.

The Dark Chapter grew into his home. The order helped discipline him, honing his skills to slaughter the daemon forces. Franklin, while humbling himself in the public, paved his way through blood and violence; carving out the beast to become a milites. There he uses his training to teach the newer generation of the Dark Chapter, guiding them; ensuring that they don’t make the same mistakes as he did. And to Franklin’s pride, they prove able in the face of danger. After the breach life resumed within the chapel. Franklin had received a new mission, detailing the disappearance of citizens. The case led Franklin to a sinister place. Deep within the sewers, Franklin snuck upon a cult using the blood of the innocent to summon a dark force. Back up was too far to contact; Franklin had no choice, he used all his strength to dispose of the members. Valiant in his efforts, Franklin managed to free the remaining sacrifices, at the cost of the ritual succeeding.

A greater daemon was summoned, the vile one consumed the souls of the cultists and the people Franklin desperately tried too free. Distraught, Franklin flew into a rage and confronted the daemon in a final assault. He had no power against the daemon, every effort he made was merely to continue to amuse the creature. A quick death wasn’t ideal, the powerful monster had recently formed into reality; eager to have a plaything, the daemon wisp Franklin away into a pocketed dimension. There Franklin was trapped within a labyrinth with no beginning, no end, and still Franklin had no choice; he had to transverse through it. [SIZE=11pt]He didn’t know how many days went by in his personal hell. [/SIZE] Maybe it could have been Months? Franklin’s mind was lost to the endless maze. Bleeding, broken in mind and soul Franklin hid in fear of the world until a man came to him. A man so graceful that Franklin saw him as the beautiful one. His words were sweet like honey, his smell of crisp cinnamon; Franklin took his hand the moment he offered salvation. Once he did Franklin, what felt like years, was finally free from the dimension; appearing back in front of the Chapel.

Other: He used to be bald.

Character Name: Ange Vatiline (Ve-Ta-Line)

Alias/Nickname: Angel

Age: 35

Gender: Male

Height: 5' 10"

Body Type: Bulky Muscular

Rank: Regimen

Field of Expertise: Domare

Weapon (main): A small leather suitcase, within it contains a collection of stones, metals, salts, sulfur, water and many more basic elements. Elements that make up the basis for most of the world around us. The items in this kit can be used in conjunction with Ange magical abilities to manipulate or alter or create varying objects.

Weapon (secondary): A small crude curved blade made from black obsidian. With a handle hand carved from wood. Made with a tar from cooked tree sap. Blade Image

Equipment:

Ange always carries a large coin made of pyrite. Stamped with one side a wolf the other a raven, it is his catalyst. Without this item, Ange abilities are greatly diminished. This is why he will rarely be found without it.
Single raven feather that has had the bass wrapped with strips of leather and attached to the inside of Ange's coat.
One tear drop stone necklace with the stone made of citrine and red jasper. Ange claims it protects him because it was given to him after being imbued by a Master Alchemist.

Appearance:

Appearance Description: A predominate scar runs from about an inch above his left eye all the way down to the middle of his left cheek. His left bicep has a deformation from where he was bitten by a daemon. Eye color is a rusty brown.

Personality: Angle can be a very withdrawn and private individual. Not in the sense of lacking social skills, he simply is not one to offer up personal details. Being someone that does not like to be micromanaged or feel he is under someone's thumb, Ange can struggle with authority figures and at times can be quite condescending. Considering his apparent off putting determiner, many are surprised that once they get to know him, he is a rather open minded individual. Ange can even been very passionate and enthralled with the right project. However, this side of him is rarely seen in the Dark Chapter because he is so often addressed as a lesser rather than an equal from his peers. While his recent promotion has helped in this area, it has hardly resolved the underlying issue of him feel inadequacy because of his families death and son's condition.

Likes: Cheese | Tobacco | Stones Quarts Crystals | Fishing | Baths

Dislikes: Selfishness | Smell of burning hay | Butcher shops | Burnt bread | Funerals

Aspirations: To find a cure for his son through magic and take him home. To find the daemon that killed his family and dispatch it.

At age 27 Ange was away at market working to sell their fresh cheeses and eggs to the village people. Returning the following morning he found his wife, daughter, two sisters and all the animals slaughtered. His son lived, thanks to the Alchemist whom had been coming home for a night shift, but was left in a vegetative state. The child now resides in an asylum.

Age 29 Ange enlists after he was infected by a lesser demon in a controlled situation provided by his local Church.
Being effective at his craft, he was promoted to Regimen six months ago.

-Lots of hair ribbons in her bag

Appearance:

Appearance Description:
Lara has bronzed skin with small freckles laced along the tops of her cheeks and across the bridge of her nose. She has large, round, brown eyes and dark eyebrows. Tied up, her hair reaches her shoulder blades, when down it reaches a little past her mid back. Her hair is pretty much a mess of bouncy curls, which is why its tied up so often.

Personality:
Lara has a positive outlook to most situations, keeping her calm demeanour a good 90% of the time. If Lara isn't calm, then something is definietly not right. Once her temper is broken its actually quite foul ((luckily that rarwly happens)) She can normally be found humming to herself as she studies her hymns, sorting her study books or fighting the endless struggle to tidy away her curls into a ponytail ((Its easier said than done)) She is content spending her time studying to better her holy magic, since after all, she is one of the new arrivals and doesn't want to seem really inexperienced.

- Animals
- A good story
- Humming to herself

History:
Lara came from a small village far off in the middle of the countryside where she lived along with her parents. Her parents were very religious as was everyone else in the village where she lived, so she was brought up to follow religion very strictly. Her family didn't have much, being simple farmers that didn't earn much, sometimes having nothing to eat even. But if asked, Lara would say that her childhood was actually a rather happy one. Once she was in her teens She was sent to move to San circa. Spotting her ability to pick up knowledge quickly from the limited books her parents had available, they saved up what the had and sent her on to better her education and make a better life for herself. While off studying, her hometown was attacked by deamons. There was luckily no deaths, but a few badly wounded. Hearing the news, she wanted help protect the place when she returned. After all, most of the other people in the village were either elderly or caring for their children so not many others from there could sign up. She has since finished her education and has now recently been accepted into the Dark Chapter as a Exorcismo, realising her potential with spell casting after joining. Even a few years after moving, she still feels a bit like a fish out of water at times. Though she still hides this well under her calm demeanour.

-----------------------
((Sorry, I'd flesh this out more but I've had to use my mobile to type out the CS and my 3ds to do the art [which I'll update with a better version too since this is a gross sketch to give an idea just ahaha...] I don't have a PC to do this out properly out on for the next day or two but I didn't want to leave it any longer I hope this is okay for now just to give an idea))

Roksanna Varro

Nickname: Roksy

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Height: 5'9

Body Type: Sylphlike

Appearance: Roksanna Varro is almost a spitting image of her father, except for her eyes, which are unmistakably her mother’s. She’s tall, graceful, and brunette. Straight locks fall just past her shoulder blades and constellation-like freckles adorn her shoulders and cheeks, when she smiles, two dimples peek out of them. Her eyes, which are simultaneously grey, green, and blue, seem to change color with whatever she wears. The bite which turned her into an Afflicta is on the fleshy outer meat of her upper left arm. She has three sets of runic “bands” tattooed in black ink around each wrist.

Rank: Milites

Field of Expertise: Domare

Weapon (main): Runic spellcasting

Weapon (secondary): Twin revolvers that have been carved with runes.

Equipment: Holy water, her lexicon containing what seems to be an entire runic language, the companion book that compliments it, a pair of ivory handled daggers, blessed salt, ribbons of many colors, black and red ink, a thin rod of dogwood which is engraved with runes. She has several rounds of back-up ammunition (rune-bullets)for her runic revolvers. A personal leather-bound journal which includes all of her mother’s favorite hymns, Roksy’s favorite scriptures, as well as notes and sketches she’s taken over the years. When not in field duty clothing, Roksanna is frequently found in this set of robes, which of course would be black and blessed silver instead of the colors found in the picture.

Skill set –

W.I.P

Personality: Roksanna is introverted, but by no means shy or timid. Hardworking and loyal, she’s a bit of a workaholic when it comes to field duty and furthering her training. Her temperament is soft and composed, not easily riled. There is however, a quiet force of pure determination and willpower that lies hidden beneath the surface of her psyche. Tolerant, tenacious, and tough, Roksy strives to be consistent and dependable. She’s also extremely guarded and finds it nearly impossible to relax and take a breather. It’s just not in her nature to do so. Although she loves to laugh, she hasn’t found much to laugh about in the recent years, and can be described as a bit melancholic. Roksanna is a bit of a perfectionist and tends to be viciously self-critical. Underneath all this is a fiercely compassionate and loyal woman who craves structure and stability.

[SIZE=10.0pt]·         [/SIZE]Roksy likes being alone to settle her thoughts and study and practice her runes, but despises the feeling of being lonely. Making friends and attachments with people has always been difficult for her.

Aspirations:

[SIZE=10.0pt]·         [/SIZE]To further her knowledge in runic translations and spellcasting. She wishes to learn and experiment and possibly even create new ways of using her Domare runes.

Fears:

[SIZE=10.0pt]·         [/SIZE]As absurd as it sounds, for her Domare affinity is palpable, Roksanna is worried that she’ll have to change her field of expertise because she chose wrong all those years ago.

[SIZE=10.0pt]·         [/SIZE]She fears her father will be taken from her too, despite the fact that the retired Tempesta Regimen has been officially removed from field duty for over four years.

[SIZE=10.0pt]·         [/SIZE]Failing. Not living up to her family’s expectations, especially her father’s. Losing a member of her team.

History:

In the middle of winter, Roksanna was born hearty and hale three weeks late, with a head full of dark hair and grey-green eyes. Born to two members of the Dark Chapter whose lineages go back decades, Roksanna would be raised knowing she would spend her life fighting daemons.

Even before the age of five her father began telling her “stories” of the Dark Chapter. They were her favorites, sometimes even more than her mother’s velvet soft singing, and every night before he tucked her into bed with a prayer, Trynt Varro would whisper of heroic deeds, their valiant cause, and of monsters to be eradicated.

She was seven years old when she received the devastating news that her mother was killed by daemons. In fact, half of her team was killed when three upper lever daemons got the better of them. Grief settled over the empty house and the two remaining Varro’s learned to cope without their beacon of hope. The silence was the hardest part for Roksy, as she was so used to hearing her mother sing. Shortly after her mother’s passing, Trynt, who channeled his anger and grief into his work, was elevated to Regimen.

Despite the upsurge in Dark Chapter related work, her father still made time to condition Roksanna for her future career. Days and nights were spent training in preliminary Dark Chapter teachings. Her father forced her to condition her body and mind. His methods, while not harsh, were stern. In time he would teach her how to use and maintain rifles and revolvers, which was his specialty in his field of expertise. Some of his methods were repetitive, purposefully, that it seeped into her runic studying.

The autumn before her tenth birthday, she was initiated into the Dark Chapter. After she turned Afflicta, her maternal grandmother gave her a family heirloom that wasn’t passed down to her mother because of her F.O.E. choice of Exorcismos. The Kaaya line has produced mainly Domare’s and the lexicon holds almost a century’s worth of runic knowledge. Despite her grandmother thinking it a dishonor to Katerisa’s memory for Roksy to become a member of the Dark Chapter, she is nonetheless proud and somewhat satisfied that she was able to pass on the books.

Training was an escape for Roksanna, as it always had been, and she put all of herself into it. On the eve of her fifteenth birthday, Roksy asked her father if she could travel to the Vatican in search of Lady Gloria Amaryllis. When she expressed this and her curiosity for Domare runes, her father had his doubts, but gave her leave to do as she pleased. It took four trips to the Vatican to find Amaryllis, but it was worth every single one. She still has sketches of the Vatican in her journal.

Roksanna spent many years as an Inducto, though not for lack of improvement. She just couldn’t make up her mind on which field of expertise to choose. It took six and a half years for Roksy to choose her field of expertise, who by then had gained a solid understanding of the strengths and needs of each field. Domare is where she felt most comfortable at the end of the day, and by her sixteenth birthday she had chosen.

Other: Despite having her family lexicon, Roksy is still fluent in Vatican “standard” seals and sigils. These were the first she learned and despite her grandmother’s teaching, Roksanna mainly taught herself how to use the lexicon due to Dark Chapter teachings. Though she hasn’t tried, she suspects anyone who grasps the dogwood rod after it’s been invoked with blood would feel its effects. She’s kept the rod rather vague in description whenever asked about it, but has never explicitly lied. It does have healing effects; it’s just powered by the sacrifice of blood.

Character Name: Hathom Long

Alias/Nickname: Steel

Age: 38

Gender: Male

Height: 6'2

Body Type: Toned Muscular

Rank: Milites

Field of Expertise: Tempesta

Weapon (main): A reliable bolt action rifle reminiscent of a .303 Lee Enfield rifle

Weapon (secondary): M1911 Pistol

Equipment: Combat Knife, M-1945 Combat Pack, Fire arm maintenence kit, several spare magazines, E-first aid kit, several enchanted bullets for specific situations, A cloak, journal to catalog his journey, picture of his family

Appearance:

Appearance Description: Dark brown eyes, Long, jet black hair that is normally tied back into a ponytail under the cloak, battle scars from war and his life with the order all over his body (most prominent is one over his heart where a demon tried to rip it out), constant look of melancholy in his features.

Personality: Hathom is a soldier who has been tried and tested many times in the fires of war and adversity. He tends to keep quiet and only speaks when spoken to or when the situation is getting desperate. Initially, he could seem very cold hearted and indifferent to the world and people who think that aren't wrong. Hathom truly doesn't concern himself with the beliefs of others or moral obligations. He follows his orders to the point and doesn't let his conscious stand in the way of that. Not that he doesn't have one, mind you. But after so much combat, a man can only turn into steel or else he will lose his mind. Cold, hard, and efficient steel. It's no wonder how he got his nickname. Those that take the time to get to know the human that is buried underneath will find a man who does care about those around him but fails to express it through conventional means, instead opting to trying to keep them alive a little harder than he would others. The definition of a battle hardened veteran, Hathom tries to keep himself occupied (and sane) during his downtime by recording the events he has gone through in his journal(s). He surprisingly doesn't mind sharing stories with the younger people or if someone gets curious and snoops through them. When he is dead and gone SOMEONE is going to. Might as well they hear it from the real deal before he isn't around anymore to tell the story. One detail most people don't know is that a small smile will always makes its way onto his lips when he is faced with a situation that seems impossible.

Likes: Cataloging his adventures

Cleaning his weaponry

Training in solitude

Loyalty

Impossibly dangerous situations (reminds him of his late wife)

Dislikes: Remembering traumatic events

Irrationality

Disobeying direct orders (others)

People poking into his past

Being alone with his thoughts for too long

Aspirations: To see his wife and daughter again one day. If heaven really exists

End the demon threat once for all

Fears: (Not really a fear, more of a crippling doubt) If his actions are making his family proud, wherever they may be.

Dying to a pathetic/weak enemy. (Dying for nothing after everything he went through)

History: Hathom future was pretty much set from the moment of his conception. Most of his bloodline had fought and died for the order and his Mother and Father were no exception. There wasn't much to be said during his younger years other than the fact he met his closest friend and future wife during his time in his academic schooling. Her name was Isel, a freedom loving girl with a personality as fiery as her red hair. No one truly understood why they got along so well. They were practically polar opposites of each other. Isel loved danger, thrills, the unknown, freedom, and causing trouble. Hathom....was raised differently. But the two got along as well as you could at that age.

It was during later years of his education that the young man found himself becoming fond of her in ways he hadn't before. He found himself following her movements a little longer than he should. Given how close they were, this fact was not lost on her and sure enough, Isel was doing the same while he wasn't looking. It was one random night while Hathom was over that Isel decided to "confirm" their emotions for each other. The rest needn't be explained.

Not long after, Hathom followed his father's footsteps and started running missions for order as an Inducto, where he was thrown into battle not long after basic training. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the thought of his lady and future daughter was what kept him alive and fighting in the skirmishes he was involved in. It was also what kept him alive when a stray bullet found its way into his torso. Friendly fire within the fog of war. Hath on came home after being patched up and found himself practically begging Isel to marry him (which wasn't necessary). Throughout his years, the man found himself going in and out of battles, earning renown and respect from his peers, his wife and child, and an even prouder father.

Steel's life was looking well. It had difficulties and obstacles but who doesn't right? Well, most didn't come to the low of coming home to your family's blood splayed across the walls of your home. A supposed place of sanctuary was now a place of nightmare as his wife and child lay dead at the feet of a lesser demon. A lesser demon....the lowest of the low in the demon hierarchy had managed to slip through and kill what meant everything to him. The happy Hathom that came to be from his family died that day along with his family.

Hathom was in despair for years to come but he found some kind of respite in the order. He spent the rest of his time with them up until the present day. His skill and experience were more than most and his accuracy with his weapons was nothing to laugh it. It only earned further respect among The Dark Chapter.

Other: He greatly enjoys classical music and can play a variety of instruments with expertise and finesse

View attachment 181663GIDEON WARD

Character Name: Gideon Ward

Alias/Nickname: Giddy

Age: 37

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11"

Body Type: (thin, muscular, portly, etc)

Rank: Regimen

Field of Expertise: Ensis

Weapon (main): Flamberge sword

Weapon (secondary): Rapier and a kris that's often hidden in his boot. He is also known to have a halberd on occasion.

Equipment: (doesn't have to me combat related, but whatever your character regularly carries with them)

Appearance:

Appearance Description: (write out parts of appearance that we don't see in the picture. Maybe altercations to their uniform, scars or markings) that signature lazy smile, and two large scars running vertical down his shoulder blades.

Personality: (paragraph form or list form, but you must describe them in more than a few words)

Witty, charming, even a little more of a laid-back goof, Gideon is a great contrast to many of the high-strung Dark Chapter members. The man does enjoy life to the fullest, and it could be seen in his slightly more than normal interest in communal wine. Gideon may seem on the more carefree side, but he is in no way a dunce. He is incredibly smart and tends to hide it behind smiles and optimistic fluttery words. He is always observant and will call out a person when they are being untruthful, or have done something out of the particular. A man with sleight of hand, naturally has a bit of sticky fingers, and all in good fun, he tends to lift items from other members to see whether they are paying attention or not. It would only be a matter of time before he gave the items back. He is, after all, a man of God.

Likes: laughter, teasing others, a nice drink of wine, swordplay, music

Dislikes: internal confrontation, violence for the sake of it, overly salty foods, bland foods, oversleeping

Aspirations: to hopefully find an end to the daemon attacks, eventually find happiness

Fears: that his nightmares are true, losing everyone he holds close

History:

A good part of Gideon’s memory is lost to him. His early childhood is quite a blur, though there is something that he could remember so clearly… a purple butterfly…

Gideon’s memories really start when he was found by the Dark Chapter by age twelve. He had been a street urchin, making a living just like many other children his age, pickpocketing and using street smarts for monetary gain. He had been a favorite messenger of the local Baron, and was often paid in a couple pieces of silver for his services. His work though, was looked down upon by the Dark Chapter, and after he attempted to pickpocket the wrong man, he was forced into community service to the church.

Life was tough for a boy who was now a servant. God meant nothing to him at first. It was only after his first miracle--the miracle in which he survived what he was told was a second daemon attack on his life--that Gideon turned to the faith. By fourteen, he was calm and level headed enough to focus on his studies. In a good three years, he found himself landed into the role of an Ensis fighter.

The Dark Chapter member that had knocked some good sense into him (not only metaphorically but physically as well) became his greatest mentor. Little did the boy know at that time that he was being trained by an Ensis Venator directly. So indeed, Gideon did learn from the best.

As Gideon grew and gained more experience, his maturity did not. Even as a young adult, he was quite the charmer and prankster. He never found anything wrong with some good-hearted fun, and often put his highly developed thieving skills to good use. Though never intending to do anything malicious, Gideon had found himself in trouble quite often. But even still, he continued to grow, and it was after meeting a certain little girl that he started to mature. She was cute, scared, but curious beyond words. He decided to teach her a few things here and there, in hopes that one day, she’d make something great of her hidden potential.

Before Gideon knew it, the little girl had grown, time had changed, and he was reassigned to a new location. Though he swore to never forget all of the adventures (and misadventures) he had while there, he felt a pang of sorrow in his heart. He would miss that little town. For a good few years now, Gideon has been stationed at San Circa as their Ensis Regimen--being the one to train the new Ensis Indocto as well as lead a team on adventures. He would be the one to give the first wave the lay of the land, and show them just what the Dark Chapter was all about.

Other: Gideon is prone to sleeping spells during down time, and fully enjoys taking naps. However, recently he has been having more and more frequent nightmares.

Nubes Immitus

'Nunu' 'Nuby' 'Cloud'

APPEARANCE

Age: 35

Gender: Male

Weight: 170lbs

Height: 6' 0"

Body type: Muscular; more like a swimmer than a bodybuilder

Hair colour: A deep chocolate brown

Skin colour: A slight tan with an olive hue

Eye colour: A light blue

SKILL

Rank: Venator

Field of Expertise: Exorcismos; known for his immaculate mastering of close and long range spells.

Weapon (main): Nubes wears a two-sided spear that has a long blade on one end and a hook-like blade on the other end. The handle is made of dark ebony, and his current weapon has seen a lot of wear proven by a few teeth marks and scratches; he has a new reserve spear with him. Around the centre point a white piece of cloth is tied, containing spells embroidered in gold thread.

Weapon (secondary): True to his short and long range mastery he also carries a shortbow with him that require no arrows. He fires projectiles made solely of light magic, not running out of them until he runs out of energy. The style with which he wields this weapon is more of a 'quickdraw' one: being light on his feet and able to cull daemons in a long and mid range quickly.

Equipment: Like a true prepared Venator Nubes carries more than simply his weapons, not letting anything left to chance he has a first aid kit, a few holy water grenades and 'daylight' flashbangs. The latter two are used to make a safe retreat, sometimes not even for him but to secure it for the less able such as indocto and civilians. Regarding his own faith he bears a small, but finely crafted cross around his neck and carries a handwritten bible he once used for his studies with him.

PERSONALITY

Under a thick layer of no-nonsense slathered on by experience, Nubes tends to share many more kindhearted traits with Skye although he definitely isn't as funny; doing the name Immitus proud he can be intimidating and strict by accident. To most people he's distant in that tell-tale 'I'm stronger than you'-fashion not per se meaning anything bad with it but simply having quite a few worries about the world that he ultimately has to fix.

But perhaps it is his family and strength exactly that keep him from showing his true nature more often, as he was molded into doing the family name proud being the oldest child: when concerning Skye or any of his other younger siblings, apprentices and usually any innocent civilians or younglings he becomes far more entertaining to be around. Smiling, helping without judging and (much to Skye's disdain) play-fighting if it allows for it. In short you'll get your hair ruffled a lot (or noogied).

Likes, dislikes, aspirations and fears:

Likes:

- Smiles

- Sunlight

- His siblings, all of them

- Good food

- The sound of daemons wailing below his feet before he crushes them

Dislikes:

- Politics and mindgames

- Arrogance

- Anything that threatens or exploits the weak; humans and daemons alike

- Sour things

- Darkness

Aspirations:

It might not be that strange that Nubes shares Skye's ideal of a good world, considering he is the one who taught that ideal to Skye. Yet Nubes belief has been slowly faltering over the years as he gained experience with the leaders of the vatican; though he is still convinced a good world can exist he is not so convinced anymore this world is the one that'll be it.

It doesn't affect his goal to protect the people much, and he still fights fiercely for their safety. It only added the aspiration of doing what he thinks is good and not listening blindly to the ruling parties. He considers it his task to guide the innocent through a world led by incompetence until either world changes or no innocence is left.

Fears:

Losing his family, especially his siblings.

Committing a sinful deed, or anything evil. Even on accident.

ORIGIN

Nubes actually isn't related biologically to Skye in any means: he is the son of the first wife of his father, who died from complications during her second pregnancy. Thus making every other sibling only his half-sibling. The first marriage of his father appears to be shrouded in secrecy though, even uttering her name being forbidden around the house. By the time his father was remarried and a new sibling was on the way, Nubes was already 10. He went away to the Dark Chapter before he truly had the time to bond with them, or even tell them he wasn't their full sibling. It took quite a while for most to find out he was only their half brother, and from how Nubes treated his siblings when he was home none would suspect it.

Yet he was always strained in his relationship with his father, not sharing the same objectives nor goals; even showing a disdain for the plan laid out for him. As the first son he was of course meant to supply the family with a strong line of heirs. This wasn't the case as behind his father's back he took the vow for priesthood, celibacy included. Of course his father was enraged by that, but later calmed down when seeing Nubes progress to the rank of sacerdos, and venator soon after his 25th birthday. Perhaps not too surprising considering he was given all means and the best teachers, but it was still quite an achievement he couldn't have made without devoting his entire life to this task.

However, it seems Nubes isn't pleased with his father still, and one who would've thought it was because of the immense pressure put on him from childhood onwards seem to be proven wrong. Whatever secrecy shrouds the first wife surely seems to have something to do with as to why Nubes takes every chance to go against his father, including but not limited to him refusing to not refer to Skye as his brother.

Currently his endeavours have led him to San Circa, his first task of course watching the gates found in the city closely followed by a second personal task of pestering Skye every moment that possibly allows for it.

OTHER

Unlike Skye, Nubes actually took his vows of priesthood. Only he himself knows if this was his act of teenage rebellion or if he actually aspired to be a priest. Considering his rank and dreams it might not be too far fetched for him to actually take his vow to lead the people of God toward a good world, or as good as they can afford.
