Re: Defend ULMF! (Sign-up and OOC)
Name: SirOni, though most of the time called just Oni
Description: Oni stands at about six foot, average white male and a plain ol’ human. Shoulder length brown hair, often tied up at the back and sports a pair of thin, black-rimmed glasses. Since his travelling he’s taken to wearing a coat and hat, the likes of which old film noir P.I.’s wore though they have cuts and tears all over them. Oni doesn’t cast a shadow, instead, a circle of shadow appears directly below Oni, about two foot in diameter. Every step Oni takes a mist of darkness rises up and dissipates, the same happens when Oni is standing in place.
Bio:
Oni was once a citizen of the planet ‘Linemarvel’. This planet was home to people who worshipped the sexually deviant and perverse, though despite that nearly all of its citizens were upstanding, good-natured people. Their God, for whom the planet was named after, once walked among the mortals though for unknown reasons he left without a word, though he spoke the name of a new messiah a while before he left; Mystic Girl.
Oni himself worked alongside Aika and Antithetical Inquiry at the Church of Linemarvel, where he was a scribe. It was through him that their God spoke of the trials of their previous messiah, Demon Girl, and from this Oni began creating the tome that all citizens came to revere; the Demon Girl Doujin. Though because of Linemarvels mysterious disappearance Oni had lost contact with their God and so could not continue the bible.
Now having nothing of note to do Oni decided it was time to actually mix in with the rest of the citizenry whilst continuing his education. It was at this point that he befriended many a person, including Darkfire, possibly his closest friend on the planet. It was during this time that darkness set in his heart though at the time he was not aware of it.
Eventually Oni lost direct contact most of his friends because of his education, and at this time the darkness started to grow bigger. It started to feed on his insecurities, making him doubt his place in the community and if anyone did actually like him or if it was to keep him happy so that maybe he’d be able to find a new connection with their God and continue work on their bible.
It took some time, but thanks to the help of someone that became a big part of his life Oni finally got a backdoor access to the whole community again. Though his happiness didn’t last long. With new access he realised that much had changed since he was gone, that everything had gone further without him. It was as if he was left in the shadows of everyone, standing in the corner as everyone hung out in their own groups and gangs. This was when the darkness began to envelop Oni.
During much of this time Oni went back to doubting everything again, it wasn’t just because he thought people only wanted him for his connection with God, he became paranoid about everything. He lashed out and demanded absolute attention as the darkness worked its way into his whole being.
Oni’s lowest point came when everything fell apart, by now the darkness had completely taken over him. Though it wasn’t physically noticeable, Oni’s body became host to a creature of darkness, this creature couldn’t manifest itself outside of Oni, instead it became a part of Oni, turning his body into shadow. However Oni could still keep his physical form and it wasn’t until later that Oni found out that he had another being inside him.
During his transformation, because of the other creature Oni had been unconsciously taking in the worlds negative emotions and converting it into energy for himself. Eventually everything completely overwhelmed Oni and his final transformation was complete; the shadow being used the negative energy to transform Oni into a shadow knight, he then proceeded to wipe out all life from the planet. Once all life was extinguished a rip in space and time appeared before Oni and before he could do anything he changed into a cloud of darkness and flew into the tear.
Since then Oni has travelled through thousands of dimensions and come to hundreds of thousands of planets and galaxies to find a place that he can finally rest and be free of the constant destruction. Though because of the shadow creature whenever he comes to a new planet he eventually destroys everything there before moving onto the next.
Powers:
Because of the shadow creature Oni’s entire body is made from shadows, though he still retains a physical form that can be damaged even if he can’t actually die. Nearly all of his abilities consume the negative energy the shadow transforms negative emotions into. If Oni is low on negative energy then he is limited to what he can actually do. His abilities are:
1) Shadow Form; At any time when he isn’t in battle Oni can transform himself into a cloud of darkness, either in his own form or anything else. Though for the most part he changes into an amorphous cloud. In this form Oni cannot be damaged though at the same time Oni cannot attack and damage anything. He can though pass through solid matter. Oni doesn’t need a space to solidify himself, instead it forces solid matter outwards, the affect is kind of like an explosion though the harder the matter the more damage it does to Oni. Transforming between shadow and solid forms doesn’t require any energy. (think of the gaseous form the Death Eaters in the Harry Potter movies take)
2) Increased Parameters; Oni’s strength and agility have been increased to the point that he can take on over two dozen armed opponents without much trouble (if you’ve played games like Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors it’s like that).
3)Shadow Weapons; Oni’s preferred weapons are the katana and an AK-47. As he had these weapons prior to his transformation they have become a part of his being and as such he can create and conceal them at will. The gun doesn’t use conventional ammunition, instead Oni uses negative energy to form the bullets. This allows him to continually fire without having reload though it does come with the a penalty, continual use eventually increases the amount of negative energy used in each bullet to the point that it uses nearly all his energy for just one bullet. Oni can also create shadow knives that disappear on contact as well as shock waves and shadow balls.
4) Rapid Regeneration; Because of the shadow being Oni’s wounds are healed at an exponential rate. Flesh wounds are healed almost instantly, deep cuts and bullet wounds take up to a minute to heal and even severed limbs and decapitation heal in a matter of minutes. Though there is a drawback, the more severe the damage the more negative energy it takes to recreate the lost area, and if the whole body is lost it can take up to twenty four hours to completely regenerate himself. This is not to say Oni can’t feel pain, he can feel pain but his endurance and pain threshold has increased so he can block out a lot more than a normal human.
Once he has run out of negative energy, or has only a little left his body automatically turns into its gaseous form and only reverts back once he has absorbed enough negative energy. Luckily, Oni’s body is constantly absorbing the negative emotions of those nearby, though it’s only a small amount at a time and as with a complete regeneration the less energy Oni has left the longer it takes for him to absorb enough to change back to solid matter again. For complete energy recovery it takes about eight hours to fully recover. There is another way Oni can regenerate lost energy, he can envelop a person and destroy them utterly. In the process he absorbs their soul, and the darker their soul the more he recovers. Though Oni does this in the most extreme circumstances, he believes that doing this makes him even more of a monster than he wants to be. (If anyone’s played Prototype it’s like how he sneak kills people)
5) The End; This is Oni’s final form and most dangerous. Named simply because that anytime he transforms into it it means the end of everything on the planet. Impenetrable armour forms over Oni (think in the style of Gabranth’s from FF12 though the horns are a big longer and the armour is pure black) and any weapon he is wielding is replaced by a sword about the length of him. His strength and agility are increased 100x what they are normally, a field of darkness extends from him, starting at six foot it eventually envelops the planet and absorbs all negative emotions from people as well as taking away their will to fight. This allows him to slaughter the planet without any opposition. His sword can extend a further twenty foot though it’s harder to swing like this, it is mainly used to skewer multiple people in front of him. In this form Oni is completely invulnerable and only once everything is destroyed does Oni jump to the next planet.
Oni has no control over activating and deactivating this form, it automatically activates when he’s either absorbed enough negative energy or he’s in danger of having his body destroyed and he has time to transform.
Note on ‘The End’; For Defend ULMF! there will be a time limit put onto this so that it doesn’t screw anything or anyone over. Though people are warned to stay away from Oni when he’s in this form because he doesn’t distinguish between enemy and ally and so you may end up on the wrong side of his sword. The time limit will be up to the Mod’s to decide, if they feel that Oni has been in that form for enough time then they can post a message and I’ll end it.
Personality:
Oni is quiet and withdrawn, after what may be hundreds of years of slaughtering, he’s not had much time to converse with people without killing them afterwards whether he wanted to or not. Because of this he doesn’t normally initiate conversations, though he does answer people when spoken to. It is unknown whether because of all the screaming in battle or because he hasn’t talked to people in decades that his voice is hoarse and gruff, he talks quietly though he does raise his voice when something angers him. The shadow being constantly whispers to Oni, feeding his paranoia’s and insecurities, most of the time Oni ignores them though sometimes Oni does talk back to it even in front of others. Naturally only Oni can hear the shadow.
His posture and mannerisms are that of a person who seems to have given up on life though doesn’t have the will or perhaps the ability to end it all himself.
Because of what he is Oni has no need to sleep, eat or drink. Though he does experience a kind of fatigue when he’s low on negative energy, it is then that he consciously absorbs more.
----------------------------------
Now I do know he looks OP to the extreme, but believe me he will have his powers extremely limited once he's lost all his energy the first time round. And who's in charge of GM'ing this? Cos I have something planned for his entrance and I need to see if you will approve it or not.
