Degenero Angelus

Julius Of the Iskari

Not a house, per se, but more of a brotherhood, The Iskari are a secretive, but well known, group of assassins and blademasters. Tall and slim, with a grace nearly unmatched in men, Julius is one of the assassins trained by the Iskari. His weapons are as hidden as his past, and no one has ever seen one of them more than once. A cleanshaven face to match his cleanshaven head, he dresses all in grey.

Nothing is known about him except for his name, his face, and that he comes to the court by direct invitation of the regent

His demon form, like his weapons, have never been seen by anyone living.

If it comes down to it, I can. Though there's a bunch of people here who'd do a better job

He keeps his mouth shut about his problems, even when they're huge, just to listen to mine when I need.

*bump*

~Physical Description~

Angelus is shorter than Degenero, but only by a few inches. Both are well over 6 feet tall. Angelus is strong, and well muscled, where Degenero is thinner, and more dexterious looking. They're both rather attractive in their own ways, and both have the same face. Angelus has long flowing white hair, while Degenero has black hair that is kept short and well cropped.

~Abilities~

Both of the angels can channel the raw force of unfocused magic and force it into doing almost anything. There is very nearly no limit to the magical power that they can weild this way. Both of them are masters of their chosen fighting technique, and are adept at a vast majority of others. Angelus can fly with his wings, but Degenero can't because his are tattered.

~Items~

Between them they have innumerable magical items. If you need something done, chances are that they can do it. They only have two items that truly matter, though, and those are their swords.

Justice - Angelus' longsword made of white gold. It shines with a light brighter than the sun, that of the Almighty. The sword cleaves through the ranks of undead and demons as if they were made of paper.

Insithus - Degenero's katana. Insithus is forged from pure black steel, and quenched in the blood of a human. It will kill anything mortal in one touch, and most things immortal. The sword seems to drain light from around it, appearing not like the normal color black, but more of an absence of light.

~Personality~

Angelus is a calm, gentle, loyal being. He's the very epitome of a perfect soldier. Making friends is not something in his nature, as he doesn't trust people. He's serious to a fault and has no time for a sense of humor, which also makes it hard for people to like him.. He's very cold, but polite, until you prove your worth to him. He will defend the few he calls friend from anything at all, and would only betray them by order of God.

Degenero is the polar opposite of everything Angelus is. He's mean, virulent, scornful, opportunistic, and obnoxious. If you dare to waste his time, he is likely to kill you. He makes short term 'friends' very easily, because of his nature. He has a massive amount of charisma, and until people get to know him truly, they have no reason to dislike him. He will steal, kill, seduce, use, and abuse anyone and anything if it will gain him something.

~History~

“I don't think that's a good idea, Lord.” spoke Inki-tarin Aurol, Archangel of the Third House, Fourth of the Angels of Magic, and Throne of the Magic of Elves.

With those words he was blasted by the power of the Almighty, and was cast down to Earth, disgraced. Devestated by his loss, and the withdrawl of the Grace left him a broken, shattered being. Half of him was twisted by the pain and horror of the Fall and became a shadow of his being, a mockery of all he stood for.

~Brief Description~

Degenero Angelus is a fallen angel, exactly as old as the multiverse itself. He has two physical and mental halves. They share each other's memories, but involuntarily trade control based on the sun. Both are tall and wear long flowing clothing, and each is proficient with his own weapon. Both are extremely powerful, being able to channel enough raw magical energy for nearly any task. They have the same face, but Degenero, the night persona, is slightly taller with cropped black hair and dark clothes. Angelus is stronger, but has white clothes and hair, which he keeps long. Degenero is charismatic while Angelus is aloof, but it's the former who is mean and opportunistic, while the latter is loyal and polite. Both have wings, but Angelus, who has a pentagram on his chest that he keeps out of view, can fly while Degenero, who leaves out in the open the large cross on his back, cannot. They share a common goal: To get back into Heaven.

~Biography~

I'm 18, I'm a boy, and I'm American. My name is Ken. I'm a student of Psychology, soon to be going to the University of Michigan. That's about it

Feel free to ask questions

Woohooo! Good job

I'm oh-so-very playing this.

A small interpretation/reply by Deggy.

Grass grows long because of rain

Old, dried grass dies without fresh water.

Life giving water brings deadly lightning

Strong grass remains untouched.

The blades grow tall strengthed by freshness

Stagnant pairs die as the new ones grow

Flowers may be prettier, but they die faster too

Even bare ground is beautiful

With the right grass there

Okay, it's come time

We're playing Solar Exalts. Post concepts and a short background here. If you have the character done PM me the stats and stuff. As always, any questions, feel free to ask

End!

Looks like Solars are being done. I'll start a new thread tomorrow for character concepts. If you have any questions about concepts, the world, or anything, feel free to PM me or find me on IRC.

Get thinking!

Edit: I should mention this. I do dodge differently than the actual rule system. You don't have to split dice pool to dodge and attack in the same turn. You can move and swing a sword at the same time.

Hey ~O~! It's been a *long* time.

Pick a type, and sign your name up here. I'll do it like Falcon did. After we decide on a type, you'll give me a character description. I'll be taking no more than 6 players.

Oh, most definitely.

*Angelus nods as he signs the parchment, his wings beginning to blacken and rot as he walks away*

Exalted: Solars, Lunars, or Abyssals, your choice.

Solars I've played, and ran, the most of.

Lunars I just got, and have never played *or* ran a game of.

Abyssals I simply love, and I have ran a game of them before.

Take your pick

I've looked at the new WoD stuff. I hate it. I absolutely can't stand it

I'm too much of a purist

As falcon was planning, for the most part. I have a few little tricks I'm thinking of, though

Since Falcon has officially stated that the game is postponed, would anyone be interested in playing a game run by me? A d10 game would be preferred, but I could run...

Any of the d10 games (Specifically, Vampire, Dark Ages: Vampire, Werewolf, Demon, Orpheus, Mage, and Exalted)

Rifts

DnD

d20 Modern

BESM (Big Eyes, Small Mouth, the anime RPG)

Discworld RPG (GURPS)

Macho Women with Guns

PM me for details on any queestions on games you don't knoww, or just in general
