The Beast Incarnate's Reprieve (Ciato Level 4)

[Ciato Orlouge]

((Last Profile. Like last time, updates will be in blue

Name: Ciato Orlouge

Hair: White and slicked back

Eyes: Blue, like that of (most) his brothers

Weapon: A steel rapier with a wooden hilt of oak from the Red Forest. Due to the effects of Last Night In Akashima, Asterodeia, Ciato's rapier, has turned to pure, unbreakable stone. For all intents and purposes, this sword is still steel tier in power, but now is just a finely shaped, very sharp rock.

Armor: A purple vest that showcases his abdomen in a very V shaped pattern.

History: The brother of Sei and Steppenwolf Orlouge. Ciato always grew up jealous of his younger brother, Steppenwolf. When Steppenwolf passed the Light Magic trials of the Mystics, Ciato was infuriated, and vowed revenge on his brother.

During his quest for vengeance, he met Asterodeia, a demon, cat-like creature with just as much of a sadistic streak as him. The two were quick to marry, and had several kids together (Asterodeia being part cat, the two refer to their children as 'The Litter') He has now come back to Althanas, intent on making the world know and fear his name.

Ciato became a member of the Order of the Crimson Hand when he learned just how much chaos the organization could cause. When Lichensith Ulroke promoted the Mystic to Master of the Blade, Ciato wore the position with honor. Lye recently announced a small tournament exclusive to Crimson Hand members in an attempt to assert his power. Ciato not only accepted the invitation, but trained diligently in Akashima to strengthen himself and prepare for the fights ahead.

Powers:

Mystic Protection: Like his brothers, a single attack will cause a shield of glass to shatter around his body. Unlike his brothers, however, Ciato's MP has precision and finesse to its attack. The glass shards will target the one body part that is the weakest on his opponent, sending a very painful message to his foes. Upgraded to 2 uses a thread/day.

Shadow Weapons: This is the basic abilitiy of any Mystic who passed the Shadow trials. Ciato is able to conjure up any melee weapon simply out of shadow magic. This includes swords, pole arms, daggers, axes, whips, chains, Akashima based weapons like scythes and kusari-gamas, etc etc. The limitations is that Ciato can not create shields or long-range weapons yet. The weapon lasts for as long as Ciato is conscious, or the weapon 'breaks', as they are the same tier as steel. He may only summon one weapon at a time, however.

Impromptu Chaos: Ciato uses his shadow magic to coat his entire body, and cause large, three foot spikes to pop out of his form at will, akin to a sea urchin or a puffer fish. This can be used twice before Ciato uses up all his magical prowess.

Ligature of Destruction: Ciato Makes several curved slashes with his sword or shadow weapon, which form invisible, spider-like webs around where he made the slashes. The web traps an opponent for five seconds but remains until the web is destroyed or catches a prey. He can create two webs like this.


Foresight's Crescendo: Ciato has gained the ability to predict with 50% accuracy exactly where a teleporter is going to end up. This ability is upped to 75% if the method of teleportation involves shadows. This is a passive skill and works kind of like a continuous sixth sense for Ciato.

Encore Petrify: Due to being exposed long term to a Cockatrice's body, Ciato has picked up the ability to turn inanimate objects into stone. He only needs 5 seconds of concentration for average sized items (Anything three to five feet high), 3 seconds for small items (smaller than 3 feet) and a whole minute for bigger items (above five feet high. This -only- works on inanimate objects. This ability can be used three times a day.

Items of Interest

The Chick: Ciato keeps in his vest a small chick he earned as a reward for second place in the LCC. This chick has the ability to keep any part of Ciato going even after death. Note that it only applies to what is left of Ciato in relation to what the chick is on. If the chick is on Ciatos head and he is decapitated, the body becomes useless but the head remains active, albeit zombified. Link

Ciato also has a treasure map earned for participating in the Adventurer's Crown Tournament. If used at the end of any thread, Ciato will gain a 100% exp bonus. If Ciato actually writes a thread hunting for the treasure, he gains a 500% exp bonus. Proof and Proof of Participation

The Feather: Ciato seems to have a strange aura about him that attracts birds to him. The nobleman found a cockatrice fetaher in his coat pocket after the events of Last Night In Akashima. If Ciato can push this feather against the limb of an opponent, said limb becomes instantly petrified (turned to stone). The feather can only work on one limb, and it is a one-time use item.

Encore Petrify: I assume this will work against people's weapons, what's the range of the ability?

[Ciato Orlouge]

Ciato has to be able to clearly see his target in order to petrify it. If the sword is in a sheath, Ciato could get the sheath, but not the sword. If a persons body is blocking some of the weapon from Ciato's vision, he will only be able to petrify what he can see.

Alright this should be good to go. I think we'll leave it to the receiver of the petrification as to if it is permanent.

Approved!
