Mindpower's Half-Demon Application

((Server's down so I spent the last few days thinking of a good character as my second character and this was the result))


Steam Name: Mindpower

Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:20830716

How long have you been roleplaying?: 4-5 years.

Any experience having this auth before? No.

What are you applying for?: A half-demon, half-human hybrid in the body of a twenty-three year old woman. I will go into details before the backstory.
 
Why should you have this?: I don't feel right coming over to a fantasy server and just rp'ing a normal human being when I have cool ideas I want to explore and I promise I won't abuse this if it does get given to me. I think I've shown some of you I can properly roleplay and can be trusted even though I was only on the server for two days before... It well... Crashed.

Starter Items: A wealthy sum of money to reflect the years this being has lived in this world + a fairly old but well-maintained European Longsword, an original one that harbors sentimental value more than actual one as it was the sword that saved her life countless times before during her long life.
 
Lore and things of interest on this being:
Demonic Empowerment - As the human is now bound with a magically gifted demon inside her, her body, over the centuries it lived, adapted to the magic that is latent within her. Her muscles have grown quite a lot, although it does not show through a toned build. Instead, her growth is magical and is there when she actually appears like a frail, normal human being. Her physiological systems went into overdrive and even things like her senses were enhanced by the presence of magic. As such, this being is now able to match a Veteran Augustine in Combat although an Elder would win after a few minutes of battle(She can stand her ground against an elder but she would never be able to win) and a Master would completely crush her in melee combat, this is where elemental magic will come into effect later(Talking about physical battles alone with no magic involved).

Demonic Presence - People with affinity towards the Demonic Plane would be able to sense the demonic aura within her. Vampires and Lycans would feel attracted to her extreme power although they would most likely stray away from her because it'd be an extremely foreign and scary feeling to feel a human with such a power. Humans normally feel unease near her and stay away although some actually feel some sort of attraction(extremely rare, only special humans with magical affinity that doesn't really get to an affinity with the demonic plane feel this).
 
No Rest for the Wicked - Magic has rendered her body capable of taking several kinds of punishment, as a result, the effects of stamina are no longer a concern.
 
Desire to Survive - Yes, killing them is next to impossible. Shooting their heart is useless and puncturing a lung is like pinching their skin. This is true, but there is one major weakness to them, their head. If they are shot, mauled, stabbed, crunched, stomped... You name it, and the target is their head they will be in severe trouble. To put it in comparable terms, what we'll be looking at here is not the piercing capability but instead the kinetic force and how deep it is applied. A low-caliber 9mm bullet to their head would render them powerless and weak for half an hour as the body's magic copes with regenerating their brain. During this period amnesia and decreased motor skills are a factor to take into account.
 
Shotgun pellets have the same effect except that it lasts 1 hour because of the kinetic force they have. The fact that the force is spread, thankfully, reduces what damage it could have potentially caused.
 
A standard rifle caliber bullet would render her in a Coma for 1 day.

Anything between .308 and .50 would render her in a coma for a week.

.50 would render her in a coma for anywhere between 2 weeks to 1 month.
 
Life Hunt - The magic flowing through this being's body has allowed them to accurately sense and smell fables and even their rank with ease. On top of that, the magic flowing through their body has rendered them able to accurately detect the presence of humanoids within a 10 meter, circular radius, even from behind walls. This is more of a defense mechanism as this being, as a demon, does its best to stay out of sight and mask its true nature out of fear of being hunted and killed like in the tales of yore.
 
From my Mind to yours - As a demon from the old ages, manipulating memories and emotions was essential for their survival. Manipulating memories is not an easy process and requires extended physical contact to do so. It is not something instant nor is it something easy to do and the stronger the mental health of a person is, the harder it is to manipulate memories and the longer it will take. Manipulating emotions on the other hand is something easy and natural to something like a Desire Demon and can be done in instants(Works like Dremor manipulation).
 
Elemental Magic - Pretty straight forward. As a demon and a magically adept being, they are able to effortlessly manipulate the elements to their will and even create small amounts of fire and water for what you would call fire and frost bolts.
 
Note: I tried to tone it down as much as I could without taking away the fact that they are a half-demon.
 
Ever-changing Abomination - The demonic side of the woman has changed her body. Her eyes grew a vivid, demonic red and her dirty blonde hair whitened into a pure and lightly colored blonde. Her skin's tanned color also turned into a healthy but rare pale color. On top of that, she grew several inches and stands now at around 5'11ft of height, her bodily features also grew to match her size as her hair almost reaches her waist. Her personality also took a severe impact and is severely 'darkened' from her frail and soft original one.

Traits: Traits are powers or characteristics that she retained from her demonic half. They are mostly negative and I made up some nice names for them because I feel creative today.

Lust IS a deadly sin - Desire is something that occasionally overwhelms the hybrid. As such, to contain this trait of her demonic side, she has to weekly feed off of the souls of either fables or human creatures,  to keep her power at 100%. She can actually feed twice in a week to kick up her powers to roughly 30% more for that entire week, although, if she does this, the week after her power will cap at 75%, making it only useful in situations of intense struggle. To add more onto this 'curse' the hybrid must feed at least within 2 days of the 7 day period. In the third day after the feeding of the previous week has expired, if not fed again, she will enter a state of 'Soul Lust' and will turn into nothing more than a regular human.

There exists several ways to feed, but the one that takes the least time to enact is also the most gruesome. To quickly and effectively feed upon the soul of a mortal being, they are able to drive their hands inside a person's body, lift them up and RIP THEM APART. Yes, you read that right, rip them in half, effectively separating the soul from the body and showering the hybrid and the area in countless amounts of blood, limbs and organs for other creatures.

While regenerating, she doesn't require feeding but if she doesn't feed within a day after waking up from a prolonged coma she'll go into her 'Soul Lust' state.

Demons of the Past - This is fairly simple and straight forward. A Demon Lord would be able to instantly realize what she is, they would not be able to control her, but they would be able to nullify her power indefinitely whilst she's in a 15 meter radius of them or a magical conduit they summoned to produce the same effect. It's incredibly debilitating to her and would, if subject to prolonged periods of time, have devastating physical consequences.

Backstory – Human and demon hybrids are normally results of a pact made between a human and what is labeled a ‘Desire Demon’. Desire Demons are considerably weak demons in their demonic plane but are insanely strong fables in the mortal plane as they, unlike other demonic beings, lose almost 0% of their power in the mortal plane. They are, though, limited due to their appearance and lack of shapeshifting capabilities and rely in pacts made by the people that summon them to be able to walk the mortal world without dying. This creature is the result of one such pact, a pact that joins consciousness, personalities and psychological, sentient traits of two beings that possess them. In turn, the Demon gets to walk this world as a presence and gets to see the world through the human’s eyes and the human gains demonic abilities. Once the pact is made, the being is now both human and demon, they are one and one alone. How this is done is beyond mortal understanding, but it is done.
 
Elizabeth MacKinnon was one of the people with affinity for magic in the days of yore, the medieval ages. As such, she lived most of her young life and teenage years in fear of the inquisition and the witch hunts that were so popular during those ages. For years she studied on what little information she could find, books written by other witches of ages past that were yet to be found and destroyed. She discovered how to summon a demon and how to make a pact and, desperate to save her life, the young woman found herself forced to seek more power and power was what was presented to her.
 
Ily’Val , a desire demon who has lived years beyond mortal understanding, an immortal being of the demonic plane. This being was cursed with a lust for power, power that could be found in the mortal plane, but power she could not obtain alone. As one of the lesser demons in the demonic plane, the desire demons were labeled like this for humans because of the fact they, more often than not, came into the mortal plane to fulfill a magical adept person’s desire for power and Ily’Val awaited years upon years for this moment to arrived. It was then that she was summoned to the world of mortals by a young woman with dirty blonde hair and pure, jade green eyes: someone with a strong affinity to magic and someone knowledgeable enough to avoid the inquisition for so long. Indeed, this woman was special and more than worthy for a pact.
 
Elizabeth also sought this pact; she had this lust, this desire for power. This one characteristic was the common denominator between the both of them and it was the only one required for this ancient pact that binds a demon to the mortal plane, using a human body as a catalyst. Words of courtesy were not needed and Elizabeth immediately voiced her request, it was then that the Demon took her by the hand and, while holding her with both hands, began the proclamation of the infamous words that would bind it to this woman’s body and form a new being entirely.
 
With the new name Illya Val’Kinnon, a name sounding from the frigid lands of north while also seeming to have some supernatural roots, this being began traveling the European Continent as an immigrant from the lands of Norway, someone who had been to England and was now making its way to the fairly calmer land of Portugal in the Iberian Peninsula. The name was indeed fitting for the new being as it combined elements from both creatures, fitting for the pact they had made. Half-Human and Half-Demon was what they were now and for years upon years they lived like so, for hundreds of years, they lived hiding away from those who would have them killed and from those who would seek to do harm to them and in a way, they still do.

I liked the backstory  and you're a pretty gosh darn good roleplayer! Looking forward to this.

This goes HEAVILY against demons, I mean you are a half demon. I had a quarter demon, which is half a representation to you and even then, my quarter demon was actually extremely strong and different to any regular partial breed - because of his direct contact.

I had really terrible regeneration that just meant the blood clotted faster then usual, I was Augustine Sanguine strength, the character could only take about 1-4 bullets to the chest before he died and he could get tired. Also - you should not be able to teleport at all, seriously, as far as I know it should only be Demon Lords who possess that kind of power.

Being a half demon means that you retain your human counterpart and you can in a sense have a bit of a battle with your demonic other. There is a benefit that you aren't just a puppet for any Lord that comes along and that you have your own free will, but it's limited that you have a slightly more advanced carnal nature then that of a Nosferatu and constantly find yourself lacking self control in times where you just want to kill, torture or bite into people like an animal.

A full demon possesses this kind of strength and power, MAYBE, but a half demon? It's just not going to happen. I know what I am talking about it is approved and I've also influenced the demonic lore slightly by talking to Shanaro who has created demon lore.

Half Demons can be fucked up by just about anyone, you should be able to take you know 4-10 7.62 rounds to the chest and survive, maybe 1-3 rounds to the head before you croak. Your healing would probably be advanced, but not as advanced compared to a vampire who has just fed or feeds regularly.

Speed and strength should be Adept and it shouldn't be higher because you have magical abilities.

The mind power is fine, the magic is fine - but you aren't a full demon or a lord, you can't go in and out the demon plain. You are considered an ABOMINATION by real demons and they think of you as disgusting, if you even managed to somehow get to the demon plain you would be slaughtered by your own kind.

Currently my Demonic Lord Gahl is in a state of kindness in a way, he's about the only demon that wont kill your character for simply existing.

End Statement.

tl;dr demons op

Well, I read the demon and magic thread several times before making this application and according to what was officialy posted on the foruns everything I've asked for here is theasable and within the limits given to us by that thread. Now, I tried to search for more lore on the forums to find none and even though I do see where you're coming from, I'm merely going by what was publicly given to us. I also talked to Pixie before posting this app and he was neutral to it, yet he didn't point out any lore breaking points. I'll read through it when I get back home from school again and talk to someone about it.

Well I am just saying, if you get this I am upgrading the fuck out of my character because what was agreed with Shanaro, Tutt and even Pixie was what I stated. I had a generally weak character and when I had to play as a quarter, any Nos, Sanguine, Dremor, Magic user or any kid with a gun could still kill him. You being this strong is just a no go.

You also left out the whole fact that as a half demon, any lord or full demon can tell you what to do - unless you go through a lot of IC roleplay of you fighting your own demon for your humanity to take control. The only way my character took complete control(And that was because he was quarter.) was through soul magic, roleplay with a half angel character, devotion(He was a member of the Vatican) and because his grandfather whom started the mix is responsible for restoring honor and dignity to mortals.

I mean I placed a lot of negatives for my character, for powers that are barely the same as yours, he did have similar strength - but you going between realms, taking bullets like your a Sanguine Nos and not being a complete slave to Lucifer is just something I can't approve of. You can apply for a full demon, who'd have a little more then this since they are complete devote to Lucifer and you could just possess a body. But being half is very similar to being a Nosferatu, except more hardcore on the negatives with some slight mind powers as well.

Half breeds aren't meant to be more powerful then everyone, simply because they retain their own humanity. The demonic presence within you fucking hates your guts and is constantly trying to get you to do things you do not personally want to do yourself. While you don't go through as much struggle as a quarter because you are more pure, you still have that struggle inside yourself and that means you can't tap into the powers of a true born demonic or even close to it.

I don't mind kicking up the negatives and adding the fact she might or might not be able to be controlled. I put a heavy emphasis on the fact the Demon did this willingly. We don't have lores about specific kinds of demons and this isn't a posession, it was a willful magical pact between a special kind of demon and a special kind of human. I'm posting this at school from my phone and, when I come back, I'll edit my post with some more negatives including the need to feed by brutally murdering people to collect their soul and possibly some others. I think the main different betwen our characters is the type of demon attached and how they were attached to the human part.

Someone who read the canon Magic/Demon lore and is using demons are they were written?

There are too many demons and such that don't follow the current lore. Nice to see more that follow it

Added two traits that could be considered weaknesses, one of them being especially dangerous and interesting.

Changed around the names of the abilities to make it more fancy and neat instead of just providing a summary of what they are.

Pixie Replacement wrote:What if you did something like chop of the head while she's catatonic and pump bullets into it for an hour?

Dead.

But only if you...

Ret-conned several things while talking with Pixie, stream lined the kinetic force-damage caused relationship.

Also, common sense applies. Detach her head from her body and she's gone. Burn her alive and she's dead unless her heart, lungs and brain don't sustain fatal damage. If you chop her torso in half she'll die. She can regenerate from things like bullet wounds to her heart and brain because they aren't 'permanent' per-say and she can heal them 'quickly' enough to not cause an impact due to being able to sustain herself on souls. While regenerating, she doesn't require feeding but if she doesn't feed within a day after waking up from a prolonged coma she'll go into her frenzied state.

The problem lies in two things, one thing you fixed but you still move at veteran speed and strength. Veteran strength is sort of fine, because demons are strong, but they aren't meant to be the flash.

I mean Pixie had a huge fucking fit when he heard about Elia being stronger/faster then normal after she gained some strength and that wasn't even REMOTELY close to the strength/speed you have even though that character is a complete divine half angel.


Also I edited the comment and you commented after the edit, I saw you took out the ability to teleport. My point is equality and the way your character makes current existing demons look really physically weak and it makes angels look like they're running around with wooden swords in their hands.

I could be fine with this if Angels had an upgrade, but only if they did.

Also yes Angels are meant to be powerful, it's just that you completely wiped them off the table and made it impossible for them to ever hope to defeat you. Because they are not even remotely that strong in terms of their lore.

Also I never wrote the lore, I just influenced it and I asked him to not make them overpowered because then it would just defeat the purpose of angels as well as asked about a few other things. The point was that demons were able to be killed by angels, not that angels get wiped out by demons.

If that is more powerful than a full demon, no offense, but you and Shanaro killed demons.

You're also banding demons as one. You are saying there's only 1 type of demons and that demons have to be like this, this and this. If you think demons aren't more powerful than vampires in any fantasy setting than you are insanely wrong, seriously.


Also, please stop comparing this to the Lore you and Shanaro wrote, I read through it and it lacks taste, it lacks information and it completely kills the concept of demons. This character is based on the concept of demons and lore behind demons that is currently known in the community as the official lore and is posted under the Magic thread. If you're so pissed about the fact you made your nephilim/quarter-demon character underpowered for some reason, don't lash out on me. Demons and Angels are supposed to be the god damn Epitome of power, you can't just make Vampires stronger than a Demon, especially when Nosferatu are supposed to be 'Lesser Demonic Beings' in their essence.

He made the Nephilim underpowered because of the lore I, myself, made. That lore I made? It was intended for Nephilim to be strong, and grow stronger, as they age. They're intended to not be overpowered, but still a force to be reckoned with. I'll say I think my lore is perfect how it is, and doesn't make rp with her ridiculously boring because of her power. If you get accepted, then I'm applying for the lore for Nephilim to change, and become more powerful because of how your character is. You become veteran strength, then so does Elia. She's a Heavenly Nephilim, meaning in my lore that she's more than 50 percent angel, and as such, should technically be kicking your character's ass out of the water, but I decided not to, because guess what. Overpowered.

-Support because you're making someone who's basically op as fuck. 'Tried toning it down without taking away from the fact that she's half-demon'? Elia should've been so much stronger than she is, including the aura shield I had for her before Pixie decided it was op or whatever.

So you'll still want to make angels weak but you are totally okay with this?

Come on, Pixie. You did see this app. used to have some kind of teleportation thing on it, and you said nothing about it?

That random necromancer had the ability to put up a bullet blocking shield, I don't see why Angels couldn't get /some/ type of shield.

Yeah I remember that, necromancers can stop bullets even when they DONT SEE THEM COMING - I SHOT AT THAT MAN IN A SURPRISE ATTACK. They can also morph into the earth, raise the dead and some other shit.

And I read the survival thing; seriously? If that's true about this character, Elia should be just as tough, but I wrote that basically, a shot to the head will kill her because she's part human; in my mind, no matter if Elia is 90 percent divine, she's still human, and what happens when a human is shot in the face? huh.... Also, thanks, Kaze, for supporting the shield. It wasn't ever intended to stop bullets either; just to stop close range attacks, say if someone went to grab her and throw her, they'd be repelled instead. I said nothing in her shield thing that someone could shoot a bullet and it'd bounce off like a rubber bouncy ball.

What you and Absinthe are basically telling me now is that you made a lore that makes Half-Demons, Nephilim, Demons and Angels weaker than vampires and Lycans. By Absinthe's logic, I wouldn't be stronger than a Sanguine Dremor, which means I wouldn't be stronger than a martial arts practitioner. I stand by my point that, in every single fantasy world I look at, where demons exist, they are the epitome of power.

I'm all by buffing up angels, demons and what not if I get accepted, but if that happens I beg of you to not go full retard and have your nephilim go on a crusade to purge all demonic influence of this world and go around PK'ing people trying to RP an interesting character. None of my characters are made for Combat RP, I hate combat RP because of all the drama it leads to, they are there as a defense mechanism in case someone goes on a holy crusade of purging for no good reason.

I talked to Pixie, I removed the teleportation which is in fact in the lore and it is stated in the lore VERY GOD DAMN CLEARLY that professional magic users are able to teleport and travel between planes. Then, an ancient magic user from the MEDIEVAL ERA, that was joined with a demon would be able to use it to by logic. Regardless, I removed it after talking to Pixie and agreeing upon the fact that if she did use it, she'd get gang raped by demons.

No offense, Absinthe, but apparently YOU can force people to choose 1 and 1 reaction alone to fear, so choose your words carefully.

I'm getting severely annoyed now at your accusations. You are now only repeating eachother over and over again so I'm just going to say what I have to say. If you have such a big problem about me studying the lore and following the lore that was written as closely as possible, maybe you should've thought about making it public/going into specifics before complaining.

What happens when a human is shot in the face? They might survive. There are cases of people who got a bullet put through their brain and after years of coma recovered. Not fully recovered, no, but they recovered.

People can still evenly match her in combat, a surprise bullet would hit her... Hey, if you grab her by surprise and chop her head off she's dead. She's completely dead, no way to reincarnate or anything that demons have access to.

Full retard. You realize I'm the one who made my lore not overpowered, and as such, I will never make it overpowered. You know what. Fine, have at it. I'm still not supporting it, and if it gets accepted, I'm making an entire overhaul of Elia's lore without the overpowered-ness.

You made your own lore, I made my own. Mine abides to the one that was given to us publicly and also abides to the basic rules of most fantasy universes out there. Mine makes sense in the way that a half-demon isn't basically a human with a lot of drawbacks and nothing good added to it. Apparently we both made our 'custom lores' and I can say confidently I didn't do anything that'd make me more overpowered than part of the server population nor did I break the general, ruling lore for demons. Now, I've said this before and I'll say it again. I've been playing fantasy universes since I was 3 and I've been fascinated by dark magic, blood magic, demons, angels and nephilim in fantasy games since then. I LOVE writing and I want to become a writer in the future so if the people here want me to, I'll be more than willing to slowly but surely build a functional, stable and detailed lore on Angels, Demons and variants that might come.

I just want her to be less quick, that's all. I said not Veteran speed, that was the highlight of my original post. Adept Speed, that's easier to deal with, the strength isn't an issue - the speed was.

Make her Adept speed and I can be fine with this.

I'm a writer myself, and I'd rather I write the Angel and Nephilim lore. The angel lore Shanaro is working on, with the demon lore, so I'll hopefully work with him on it. I'm not saying you're a terrible writer, I'd just rather I write on the original Nephilim lore I made; I'd rather not someone else go messing around with my first character's genetics.
