Sin


Name: Sin
Gender: Male
Hair: White
Age: Less than a few months old as a Yokai but technically 300+
Height: 6'2
Weight: 207 lbs
Race: Yokai
Classification: First generation grade wielder


~Bio~

Sin is a Yokai made from the olden monarch. As a small detour and sub quest of sorts, Iris orchestrated the resurrection of the fallen emperor by gifting a grade weapon with his essence attached to it to a potential vessel. Naturally without this person knowing the intricacies of pacts and what they entail. Her objective? Experimentation. In order to create the ultimate Yokai, she required a mighty base foundation. Deceiving both parties involved with her alluring charm, Iris would seduce the revived king into a night of intimacy where she would then siphon away his purity the instance their lips touched, resulting in the monstrosity pictured. As luck would have it, self awareness dawning upon a Yokai in it's transitional phase does not account for memories they possessed as a human. In fact, their former memories are effectively lost as they enter a new state of existence. As such, Sin has no recollection of Iris' deceit, and thereby, no malice towards his creator. However, he does operate independently of her, which may or may not harken back to his days as king. Most notably, it appears that Sin has also developed a similar motive to that of his mother. While she seeks to procure the seven queen's weapons, Sin has taken it upon itself to scour the globe for the seven king's weapons. Or in his case, six, given he himself represents one of the renowned nations. Upon catching wind of this, Iris willingly left Sin to his own devices. Morbid curiosity perhaps? She'd never even considered a Yokai expressing interest in grade wielding. To say the least, this greatly amused her. Who knows what will occur when the two reclaim the lost tools? Will they band together or slug it out?

~Personality~
Sin's actions are largely dictated by 'the mood' He lives life by his own standards regardless of human morality. If razing a settlement to the ground strikes him as an enjoyable pastime, then that is what he'll do. Likewise, he has been known to spare a select number of victims for unknown reasons. This makes him quite unpredictable and wild card in regards to the impending new world order.

~Sexual Orientation~
Asexual.
He has no concept of sex, and unlike Iris, he has no need to breed to increase his numbers. His Soul Magic allows him to make expendable pawns at a moment's notice.

~Wizardry~

Original magic
Unknown as it was lost to the ages

Soul Magic
Originally the Unique Trait bestowed upon a grade weapon, this became his primary magic upon revival. This form of magic allows Sin to portion out fragments of his soul to grant sentience to inorganic substances. Within moments of reincarnating, Sin has shown the uncanny ability to nigh instantly evolve this magic to where he can now supplement pre-existing souls with his influence, creating live puppets. He seems to also be capable of shackling the soul, effectively reducing morale and instilling fear.

Sin Magic
Originally the pact bestowed upon a grade weapon, this became his secondary magic upon revival. This form of magic allows Sin to summon the king of hell, Enma. Presumably to pass judgment on sinners. However, this magic poses great risk to the user ordinarily, given Enma judges sinners indiscriminately. Thanks to his Soul Magic, which allows him direct control over Enma, Sin can summon him freely without suffering repercussions for his own misdeeds.

~Grade Weapon~

Since departing from Iris, Sin has commandeered a peculiar grade weapon, a jagged polearm with crimson gems embedded in it's blunt edges. However it is unknown whether or not it belonged to one of his rivals of old. The Unique Trait and Pact are as of now a mystery as he's only engaged in melee based combat with it.

Art of Grade Wielding


~Grade Wielding is an art of combat wherein which a person imprints their soul and worldly desires onto an inanimate object. This can be done consciously or subconsciously depending on the person~

~The worldly desires aspect manifests as an ability known as a Unique Trait. This ability is often times reflective of the person's characteristics, and in some cases, their deepest desires. Example being, a man who toiled away in study gave rise to the ability of Omniscience through a pair of prescription glasses~

~The soul aspect holds a more alarming perk that allows the individual to commune with whoever inherits the affected tool, even long after they've passed on. An additional ability can be granted this way by way of a pact, but unbeknownst to the receiver, once that pact has been completed, the deceased soul will resurrect, using their inheritor's own body as a vessel~

~So far, only one grade wielder has reached this level, that being Iris, who possessed a strong enough will to subjugate the foreign spirit trying to consume her, and retain her individuality~

~Pros and cons to resurrection~

~If a first generation grade wielder is able to subdue the spirit attempting to control them, they lose out on a particular advantage while also gaining a few~

~For starters, the abilities bestowed upon them by the grade weapon itself, become innate skills that their would be possessor simply forfeited in their botched attempt to seize control~

~Unique traits in weapon form can be abused without limit. It's an inexhaustible resource in combat but once a grade wielder integrates it, it becomes intertwined with their own magic pool, meaning they can only use it so long as they have magic left in the tank~

~On the flip side, unique traits in weapon form are also stagnant with no concept of growth. Once they've been integrated, they can be evolved further to compensate for any weaknesses in the base skill. Example being, Iris was able to remove the weakness of her fate manipulation by making it so threats to her are automatically detected and neutralized~

~Second generation grade wielders are not at risk of losing themselves as they take the lost battle art and imprint on a object of their choosing. It is effectively an extension of themselves and not a ghost of the past striking ill-fated deals. However, they lack pact related abilities as a result of this~

Lady Iris


Name: Iris Evette Calloway
Alias: Lady Iris (self titled)
Gender: Female
Hair: Blonde.
Age: 18-19
Height: 5'7
Weight: 159 lbs
Race: Human
Classification: First generation grade wielder

~Bio~

Iris was orphaned young by parents of British descent. However, her tale isn't one of tragedy as one might expect, as any sane being would have given up this demon child. Her existence a complete anomaly that begs the question "what went wrong?" Was being born to middle class parents that showered her with great emotional support for all of her endeavors not enough? Were loving siblings who saturated her with adoration and encouragement beneath her notice? Surely you jest. No, what was wrought on the day of her conception was the true makings of an apex predator. An inverse of sorts to the widely-held belief of "evil is fostered" Wearing the mask of a broken child, she enacted heinous atrocities upon her surrogate family in the aftermath of abandonment, which ultimately resulted in her being sold off to slavery by a noble bloodline. Such a setback proved insignificant to the young Iris who was subconsequently freed by a man of even more deplorable acts. Together, they formed a four-man commando cell, but little did he know that his head was squarely on the chopping block for Iris as well. Unfortunately, upon learning from him the art of grade wielding, Iris came to quickly realize that her new guardian was her achilles heel as a combatant. Even factoring the grade weapon he bestowed upon her as an extension of trust. Usurping him head-on seemed impossible. Moreover, she had been given more of an incentive to best him through a pact that had been secretly forged through the prized tool. Upon further studying history, Iris eventually developed a fixation on an assortment of grade weapons, namely seven once held by queens of the fiercest nations recorded in human history. Be it for sport or supremacy, Iris sought to lay claim to each and every one, knowing full well the risks of this lost battle art.

~Personality~

Iris is deceptive, feigning a playful, non-chalant young woman with an obsession for sweets in her latter teen years. Her true nature is that of an excessively arrogant narcissist who seeks to place herself atop the pecking order.

~Sexual Orientation~

Iris is asexual, though she has practiced beastiality solely for breeding purposes with her Yokai. This is done for the purpose of mobilizing powerful followers.

~Abilities~

Wizardry 
White / Dark Magic 
Iris is a unique case among mages, being that she innately possesses two distinct magic affinities. While White magic grants her control over purities, Dark Magic grants her control over impurities. This allows her direct influence over one’s morale compass, or lack thereof. For good-natured individuals who may carry a  smidge of malice in their heart, she can freely manipulate the opposing forces so that the darker aspects of the subject are dominant. Or vica versa, alter a morally questionable person’s better qualities into fruition. The only beings that are immune to this form of magic are those who fall towards one extreme or the other. Basically those who are either pure of heart or pure evil. 

In addition, Iris can suck away purities or impurities, which she performs orally, typically by kissing. This method tends to be her fall back when manipulation fails. However, when both purity and impurity are stripped away, this results in an individual devoid of all purpose , leaving them in a vegetative state. 

~Creation of Yokai~
 
When Iris sucks all purity from a being with both purity and impurity housed within them, this causes them to spiral out of control and attack indiscriminately, even going so far as to harm themselves. Normally, this would lead to self suicide, but in rare cases, the they will develop self awareness, which causes a metamorphosis into a Yokai. 


~Grade weapon~

Unique Trait.
Iris’ former grade weapon is a tiara once worn by the Queen of Zirconia. She classifies as a first generation grade wielder as she actively seeks out grade weapons that were imprinted upon by historic figures. Upon establishing eye contact, the unique trait of this grade weapon will call forth the deepest desires of whoever is reflected in Iris’ gaze. This manifests itself as an alternate reality, or parallel universe that is tailor made for that individual, conceptually removing them from the mortal plane. The weakness in this skill is that both eyes of the target must intersect with those of Iris, meaning that blind or partially blind beings are immune to it’s effects.

Pact.
The grade weapon’s pact allows Iris to manipulate her own fate. However, she must be consciously aware of a threat to alter the reality of her succumbing to it. (basically if someone disguised a knife as a sponge or something, she can be stabbed and killed) Note: This is the weapon form of the ability. It can basically neg any danger later, albeit for a finite amount of time.

Iris can use her magic and grade wielding in tandem. In the event that she steals away a being's purity, leaving them in a chaotic mind state, she can use her unique trait to reflect their desires in their tormented form. This typically results in a personalized Hell of sorts for the subject.
