- Ever burning hatred for humanity.
- There are few people I don’t hate. Crawling insects, even those rare few stronger then me are disgusting things that don’t deserve to exist. Going about life thinking themselves one of the superior species of the planet. They are lower then dirt and deserve to be buried in it. Given half a chance, I’ll see to it personally.
- Cracked Facade
- Of course, someone like me being open about my ideas would be swarmed by vermin, and eventually killed by the vile stench of a pile of their rotting corpses. So I try my best to be... Civil. Most people will probably consider me hiding something, or not a nice person anyway. But it is unlikely they shall see the full extent of my feelings.
- Preserving a select few
- However, there have been some humans who somehow aren't abominations of this world. These people I shall let live, perhaps even protect. Will I find someone like that in Lucca? I highly doubt the select few of the billions of slinkies shall be in this small area, but it is possible. How can you tell? Well, you can't, vile human, only I can, and it is something your feeble mind and nonexistant soul cannot comprehend.
- Desire to be something more.
- Even my own flesh disgusts me. My mind and soul may be pure, but my body is not. I desire to be something greater. What, you think i'm talking about a vampire? Hell no! They are far too human. No, I want to be what vermin call a "monster". Seen the movie Alien? That is one such example of what I might like to become.
LIKES: // Beasts, monsters, snakes, destruction, killing humans.[/color]
DISLIKES: // Humanity, fools who refuse to die.[/color]
STRENGTHS: // My magecraft is beyond many of the pathetic excuses for Magus that you see clogging this land. Even those who surpass me may neglect to fight, for I am all too willing to take everyone in a mile radius with me, which may well include them.[/color]
WEAKNESSES: // While my magic is nearly unmatched, my physical form is somewhat lacking. I'm not one of those worthless magus that make their sacks of flesh perform menial tasks in a superior way in a vain attempt to make up for their lack of magical power. Also, while personally I don't consider it a weakness, I do tend to lose track of vermin occasionly as my mind wanders, and only If I had everything to gain would I even consider working with such abominations that are humans.[/color]

MY FAMILY LINE: // The Achille family is in no way related to the so-called "hero" Achilles, in case someone is foolish enough to think so. No, we are a family that go back nine hundred years. We were well-known and popular, for a time. But about five hundred years ago our blood thinned slightly. An almost inconsequential number, a mere circuit and prana per circuit, the kind that could have simply been an exception of a person, but my family was enjoying popularity and growing power at the time, so this small number drove them into paranoia. Few families had enough magic circuit for them to consider grouping up with, fewer still did they trust, and fewer then that actually wished to do so. This somewhat limited the gene pool, and on more then one occasion when a family wasn't available inbreeding was chosen after a family with low magic curcuits. I do believe it is also about the time we began to fade into obscurety due to becoming more distant from all but select groups of magi, and occasionly used as a joke. "Inbreds", I believe they occasionly say, depserate for power rather then the true goal of Akasha. Still, we were welcomed well enough at the Clock Tower, for we did possess some knowledge of magecraft they found useful. Jokes we may be, we are still a powerful family. Known for having around 26 circuits with 19 prana per circuit for a total of 494 prana, way higher then most pathetic magus.[/color]
MY HISTORY: // I suppose this is where I say I was beaten as a child by my alcoholic father and my mother never had time for me? No, the only crimes my family commited was the inexcusable crime of being human. They "loved" me, I suppose you would say. They taught me all they knew about magecraft before sending me over to the Clock Tower where I furthered my knowledge for many years, the only good thing they ever did apart from granting me the family crest, which I rewarded them for with a swift death. It was not long after I heard whispers of the Grail Wars. It was a dream come to. Kill vermin for a chance to obtain enough power to slaughter more then I ever dreamed of? Truly a sign that my cause is just.[/color]
MY GOALS: // Did I not just say? Either I shall wish to end as many human lives as I can, or turn myself into a monster to do it myself.[/color]
[/size][/blockquote]
RANK: // I was considered 1st by the time I exited the Clock Tower. For some reason they neglected to give me a color, fools...[/color]
ELEMENT: // Earth and Wind.[/color]
EXPERTISE: //
Killing Humans: Seem obvious? Well, I'd just like to mention i'm not too bad at knowing what will kill a person. Servered arteries, kidney destruction causing the body to be poisoned... Basically i'm good at telling if a person may survive the injuries I cause. Often the answer is no, but it does happen...
[/color]
MAGIC CIRCUITS: // My 25 circuits have the amazing quality of 22 prana per circuit, giving me a punishing grand total of 660 prana.[/color]
SPELLS: //
Vessel Shot (Wind)
Rank: D
Cost: 10-20 prana
Range: 50m[/i]
Effect: In essense, turning a small object into a bullet. The object has to be in my hand. Larger objects either have less speed or need more prana, although this spell does have limits. Anything larger then a pear will never be as fast another object I use no matter how much prana I use, and i'd be lucky to move a fridge a few inches with this spell.
I occasionly combined these rocks with a sprinkle of my mystic code to add the delightful effect of causing the object to explode into shrapnel at the feeling of other human's prana, be it some sort of defense they have created, or the Od within their body...
Starting off as a one-liner spell, thanks to the family crest it is now a single-action.
Shrapnel Storm (Wind/Earth)
Rank: B
Cost: 95-125 initial, 5 per second to maintain. Maximum time 10 seconds
Range: 25m[/i]
Effect: Now we get to a spell that does a bit more widespread destruction. The earth around me is filled with prana as I cast the spell, disconnected from the surrounding earth and crumbling to smaller pieces, then the remaining prana turns into kinetic force, dispersing in any direction I see fit. It's main weakness is a lack of penetration against defensive spells or more solid objects. Even a C ranked defense, or a decent reinforcement, will allow survival. And considering the time it takes to cast, only a surprised or idiot magus would be killed. On another random note, reinforced people will probably be badly bruised after.
Starting off as one of the longer-casted (9 versus) B ranked spells, it's power made my family line work hard to try and decrease the time taken, so now it takes seven versus instead.
Eventual Crush (Earth)
Rank: B
Cost: 90-120 (depending on range the defensive spell takes up)
Range: 55m[/i]
Effect: One of the many things I hate is how people try to defend themselves. In a magus' case they can usually erect some sort of defensive spell as well. This irritating occurence lead me to discover, and improve on, this spell of my family. The earth slowly begins to surround the opponent, or any defensive spell they have active, and wraps around it just out of reach of any dangerous properties it may have. The spell works slowly, however, so using it on someone not concentrating on a spell is stupid, for they can simply jump over the slowly enveloping earth. As soon as the defense vanishes, the earth compacts, crushing the irritation who thought being defensive would allow him to live. Of course, I need to remain in concentration for the spell to work, so if they have a buddy to help them, i'm not exactly going to use this spell and leave me vulnerable.
This spell was never particularly high in my family's list of priorities, so it remains to this day on the seven versus it began as.
Grime Shield (Wind/Earth)
Rank: B
Cost: 100 to initially infuse, 1 per two seconds to maintain
Range: 0m (body contact)[/i]
Effect: My least favorite spell. But as much as it is distasteful, my body contains my mind and soul, so it has to be somewhat protected. I tend to be rather dirty for a reason. My prana is infused with the dirt and grime covering my body, and if need be it can become a defense, similar to liquid armor. Prana keeps the dirt and grime bonded together, rather useful against piercing weapons as it doesn't relent, and somewhat useful against firearms in the same way as a bulletproof vests, although it still hurts like hell.
...What, you wanna know what kind of bullets it can resist? You honestly think i've tested it!? Well, i'd assume pistol bullets it could resist, I could probably even remain standing except for the higher-calibur weapons. Probably not guns like rifles, or God forbid, bazookas though. Course, they shall die before I let them try such a thing. So I doubt it is relevant.
Spells are easier, I have been hit by quite a few in my time. It depends if I notice the spell and have time for the shield to further come together and compact. If not noticing while the spell is activated, or just not having the time to focus the defense on the area, it can tend to block D and E ranked spells with no trouble, C ranked spells require concentrating on the area they shall strike, but It is possible to block them, once again though odds are I shall be knocked down. B or A ranked spells... Well, unless it's a glancing blow of them, odds are my shield shall not protect me, possibly lessen the effexcts I guess. Never been hit by an A ranked spell, only fools would allow such a thing.
...Oh right, Servants. Well, I have yet to be hit by one, but if the legends of their power are true, only the weakest of the weak would probably be hindered by my protection.
Once a seven verse spell, my family crest has decreased it to six. Still not the sort of thing I could do mid-combat, so preperation is an order, and vermin hiding in shadows will probably get the drop on me before I use this.
