It's been a very long time since I've been back on these forums it'll be good to participate with all of you again.

Character Name: Michael Amon-Sena

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Organization: The Society

Class: Ward Mage: A Ward Mage is the definition of a reactionary force; a ward mage practices the combination of sigil and incantation magic to fashion guards and traps against intruders. None of the Ward Mage's abilities are offensive in nature, their abilities only act in reaction to an enemies. A Ward Mage's abilities are fashioned for defense, and thus in most cases have no destructive power.

Special Abilities: None

Bio: Michael's derives from a long line of servants that have worked under the families of the society since near its inception. Since the dawn of the society, the Sena line has been tasked with the protection of Society members on their dangerous missions. The Sena family members have all, bar none, accepted this role with equanimity.

In accordance with this, the Sena line has a long tradition of practicing defensive magic, though some members have practiced the view of 'The best defensive is a good offenense'. This core of the families beliefs has evolved into a usage of magic in its own right.

In the present age the Sena family has grown from a line of singular lineage, to a great distant family of wide ranging distances. Sena families may be found in all countries that hosts a Society presence. As a rule, any Sena famies member is bound to help a Society member within their area. Each Sena family has contact with other families around their area, and for greater missions more can be called in. This connection and heirarchy of the Sena family owes much to the advent of the internet; which has facilitated easy communications. The Sena family has their own private Autonamous System containing almost all the information a member may aquire.

The Sena family has, however, grown out of being servants; though some still walk that path. Sena's are found in all proffessions, from janitors to doctors.

Michael is from one of the such branch families of the Sena. The Amon family is of small repute to those outside the Sena; his particular line has not participated in much more then the extrications of lesser demons. However, within the Sena family the Amon are widely praised. For generations they have been in charge of the flow of information between Sena members; in addition the Amon are the ones that conceived and created the Sena database. The servers and hardware that hosts the database and communication system are located within Amon holdings.

Michael himself is a standard member of the Sena family. Since birth he has trained in the art of warding magic, and has been taught he ancient traditions of service and protection. Michael has had no tragedies or horrors in his life; except for the nature of his family and his abilities he has lead a very normal life to this point. It was mere luck that placed him in the high school, and many of the classes of the Mother of Hell. It was decided by the Sena family that with someone already in place, there was no need to file the paperwork to send in another member.

On his personality, Michael is very even tempered and reticent to speak. He is the perfect example of someone who is oft overlooked; he generally makes no grand statements and does not like to show off or posture for his peers.

Michael stands at 5'10'' and weighs in at 143 lbs. He has brown eyes and short brown hair combed to the right side of his head. His face is very nondescript, having no real defining qualities besides its regularity. He tends to wear light plain clothes, such as a white shirt and pair of jeans.


Equipment/Belonging: Michael practices his Sigils with a variety of objects. When intending to be inconspicuos, he uses a tablet laptop computer to write out sigils, or the use of a marker. When there is no need to be inconspicous, he tends to use sand to mark his sigils.

What? No one has called the demon who is a good guy for some odd reason? This is striking me as a very cliche RP (I mean, even Raiden joined), so I assumed there would be one. In fact, there should be.

So, I guess I'll call the good demon. I didn't see any actual rule against playing a demon.

[Raiden]

Technically, my guy is a half breed. Though only superficially, since he doesn't actually get any demonic powers.

He looks hot, though. Dante and Vergil have made many a girl squee in her pants.

Seeing as no one is going S.E.C.A:

Character Name: Simon Smith. Codename, "Longshot".

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Organization: S.E.C.A

Class: Soldier/Sniper

Special Abilities: Simon is an average human. The only special abilities he has are his training; Weapons, tactics, CQC. He is a soldier and as such, is trained in such things.

Bio: A former SAS sniper, Simons team was called in during a hostage situation 6 years ago. A Hell cult had taken 13 people hostage and a stand-off insued. Simon was the sniper called in in preperation for an assault. After the negotiations had "failed", his team was sent in and the cultists, attempting to raise a demon, panicked and began the final part of their 5 day ritual 2 days early, systematically slaughtering the hostages. But it seemed that the ritual had worked, to an extent, as something slipped through into our world and a demon fused itself with one of the cultists. Smiths team was cut down, but managed to fatally wound the demon, while Smith, the only sniper, in fact, the ONLY person outside of the building who could see the horrors within, did what he was trained to do. He put the final bullet in the creature, slaying it.

After that event he began his own investigations and eventually uncovered a great deal of intel on this unseen world he had glimpsed. A short while later he was recruited by S.E.C.A, where his skills and training would serve him well.

He is now a high ranking member of the organisation, often co-ordinating things on the ground with orders from HQ. Whatever he wants/needs, he can get it, immediately.

His current assignment is recon and surveilance on The Mother of Hell. S.E.C.A are watching and observing from afar, ready to act if needed.

Equipment/Belonging: A fully customised, top of the line Steyr HS50 sniper rifle is his pride and joy, even though it is rarely used these days. It breaks down into numerous parts which can be carried on his person, rather than in a case for easier transportation. Also wields a Desert Eagle .50 sidearm. In most situations in the field though, he uses the standard issue MP5 assault rifle. Also caries a hunting knife.

He can of course aquire pretty much anything of military grade though, and whenever he needs it.

I'm not sure if that bio really fits with your demons TB, but hopefully you'll allow it. I came up with that before seeing the info on how the demons work, but I kinda like it.

[Myst]

Character Name: Gael Blanc

Gender: male
Age: 15
Organization: D'arc, a religious organization that continues the mission of Jehanne D'arc (Joan of Arc for you non frenchies) and protects the world, specifically women, from demonic threats. Fairly new as far as secret societies go, D'arc earned their reputation during the earlier parts of WWII, working with the French underground to hold German occultic weapons at bay.

Class: Acolyte.

Special Abilities: laying of hands. Gael can heal most flesh wounds by touching the injured area and channeling holy energy into the site. This cannot heal poison (too extensive), terminal illnesses (violates the natural order), or even anything as serious as a broken bone. Also is very tiring for more than minor injuries.

Bio: Gael was born and raised in the Alsace region of France, near the German border. As a younger child, he showed a natural awareness of the spirit world around him, drawing the attention of his uncle, Gustav, who had him recruited into D'arc. There he spent the next decade, training both as a priest and a demon hunter. Of course, with the Mother of Hell around again, someone needed to be sent to America to keep an eye on things. While a more experienced member would have been preferable, Gael was the only one around the right age, and as a result was 'volunteered' for the assignment.

Equipment/Belonging: The holy relic plume d'ange. As the name implies, plume d'ange is a dagger made of a petrified angel feather. It measures just shy of 2 feet in length (blade), and functions as a normal dagger unless being used on a possessed individual. At that point it passes through the humans flesh, damaging the demon only.

An ornately carved celtic cross. Nothing special about it, just looks cool.

(Happy to provide any further details upon request)

Gir: Ixnay on the ercenarymay. There's enough people on both sides of the issue with money that those who chose the Protectors wouldn't want a loose cannon like a mercenary in there. I'll also allow you have a handful of sigil bullets (by handful I mean four or five), but once you use them, that's it. By hideously expensive, I mean hideously expensive, like every time you use one you have to think “Is this target really worth using a $400 bullet on?” And no, you can’t make your own magic bullets…that well beyond the skill of a person who hasn’t spent the last 15 or so years of their lives devoted to magic. I’ll let you keep the necklace, but it will only work on possessing demons…and I’ll give you very limited magic defense. It certainly won’t repel a direct hit of any spell, but might take the edge off a near-miss or something.

Steel Shadow: Well done. Approved.

Loki: A few changes, if you please. No translocation (most things involving teleporting leads to god-modding in my experiences), create food/water is iffy…bread and water at the most (it might even taste good if you’re lucky), call weapon and return object need to have a set range…we’ll call it a half mile for call weapon, 50 yards for return object. I’m also going to limit the call weapon to 3 of your weapons. I’m also going to call True Strike a complex spell…you’ll need at least 20 seconds to cast it…that’s a long time in a fight.

Raiden: You character’s name is Thomas? I’m shocked!

Seriously, though, it looks alright. I can trust you to not go over top, right?

….Right?

Mintaro: It looks alright…I’d rather not have you use your powers too often, so I like the formula you have right now…sorry. And if you want, him and Jackson can know each other.

Pyros: Basic concept looks alright…but yeah…details would be good.

MammothTank: Looks alright.

Incendius: Looks alright, approved.

IHMN: I’d rather have everyone be a human to some extent…but if you come up with something good, I’ll let it slide.

And me? Run a cliche RP? You're mad! Mad mad mad mad mad!

Hawk of Battle (assuming he’s fake-banned and not real-banned): Yay, someone finally went with S.E.C.A. !!! Looks good.

Myst: Looks good. Approved.

To those who sent me a PM Replies will be in your boxes shortly.

To Anyone who still wants to sign-up: Go ahead…a large group at starts means a good-sized group later when people drop out (as they are wont to do in my RPs, I’ve noticed). If you want a friendly tip…we seem to be a little Society heavy…so…::hint hint…cough cough::

Questions, comments, concerns, accusations of favoritism?

[Krylo]

Bitch, you forgot me.

And the cheap ass knock-off biker guy who does pretty much exactly what my guy does.

Oh, and Hawk is fake-banned.

Yeah, yeah...I just noticed that, myself. You're approved...assuming you can come up with good excuses as to why he happens to be with the "official" protectors when stuff hits the fan..and did you happen to read the manga? Your character is a pretty convincing combination of two of the main characters.

He was one of the people who PMed me, and I addressed that in the PM. I don't think I'm that lax in my responbilities, do ya?

Just wanted to make sure. I figured he was, given the amount of red I saw in the Current Active Users box.

[Raiden]

cheap ass knock-off biker guy that likely has a golf bag filled with baseball bats, hockey sticks, and golf clubs, and will probably be wearing a goalie mask?

And Toastie. My friend. You know me. Why would you even ask such a thing?
