Dissoni Alanacci
06-03-09, 07:28 PM
Natural Name: unspeakable in any human tongue
Known Name: Dissoni Alanacci
Age of Existence: infinite(explained in history)
Earthly Age: 27
Race: Arch, more commonly Eyriee(half angle, half demon)
Hair Color: lightly golden
Eye Color: lightly golden or white, depending on the light around him
Height: 5'10.5''
Weight:140 lbs (lighter than he looks because of his racial characteristics)
*Occupation: Dissoni travels from town to town, aiding in quests of the people, particularly the trade of vanquishing special foes susceptible to Dissoni's rather holy, or unholy, abilities.
*Personality: Dissoni is tied to his current quest and against the mark, if their is one, that it enraptures his body and mind so that he becomes what he needs to become, be it rude and untrustworthy or elegant and friendly. At times when there is no quest, Dissoni becomes a quiet background to the scenery, a glowing rock that everybody notices but that doesn't acknowledge anyone. If one could get through this front, though, he is a good and faithful acquaintance, always looking to please his friend, or at least not to upset.
Appearance: Being only slightly tall, Dissoni relies on his commanding stance to attract attention when he needs it. He is thin, and extremely so, but not brittle, with the stature of an elf- lean and strong beyond his body. If he is in a relatively good mood, he tends to shine very faintly, and if he is having the most depressing of days, his surroundings seem to lose their light- an anti-aura, if you will. Sometimes, Dissoni's innermost instincts take over, and he either becomes more angel-like, being Righteous and unbending and powerful, or becomes more a demon, with a feral way about him and powerfully menacing.

_
_History: His history is written down already in the book that has been known world-wide for centuries, the Bible. When God cast out the angels into Hell, they became the Fell, the fallen angels. There, the history is unfinished, and here is the rest. Some of those Fell found demons to mate with and gave their children to God so they could become what the Fell came short of. Dissoni is one of those who then came from Heaven down to Earth, so as to protect His children. That is his quest, and he has one human life to do so before returning to Heaven and being God's servant there again instead. Although he is what he is, Dissoni has only slightly more the powers of men.
_
_ Dissoni's Earthly life began thusly: God sent him down as a child onto the step of a Christian household. They raised him, and at the age of 19 he left with a farewell and a sentiment stating that he must go fulfill his duty. Being children of Him, they let him go....
_
_ Becoming a merchant of small goods, Dissoni learned the land while making a small fund for himself and training, honing his skills. When he thought the time right, he gave up the trade and was thence known as "The Exorcist."

_
Skills: While the gentleman's weapon, the sword, will always be Dissoni's favorite weapon, he is only barely average with his ability with it, so he is best with his marksmanship, skilled more than most. His skill at hand-to-hand is by far his worst fighting technique, a dismal display of more or less flailing arms and excesses of his own blood. Dissoni's prowess at analyzing the situation with calm and a sharp mind have saved him many a time, and he is proud of the fact.
_
_ The better part of valour to Dissoni is usually not combat or death, but discretion. The skill of charm and persuasion come naturally, if not in excessive amounts. He also finds his ability to romance a woman quite useful.
_
_ The term "magic" is offensive to Dissoni, although he knows it exists. He just sees "magic" as and act of the devil through a humanoid, and then, opposite that, an act of God working the same way would be what he calls "Kaza." That is a close pronunciation of the word as it is said in Heaven.
_
_Dissoni, being a servant of God, has some small abilities of Kaza, meaning he can do some little helpful things as call for Light (a holy light, able to pierce unholy darkness in the shape of either an orb or instantaneous beam, causing no damage whatsoever), small Telekinesis(relative to his strength/level and inversely proportionate to the target's strength/level), and other small Kaza, all forms of those two or mixes of them, such as temporary holograms of unreal objects created by the bending of light. These holograms, for the time being can go only a short distance away from Dissoni and wear out quickly.
_
_ The basics of how this works are very easy to understand. To do something by way of Kaza, energy is taken from the user in a deep way, taking one-and-a-third the amount of energy the mundane way would have taken. But this energy is not taken from the excess of his muscles but from the confines of his mind- a mental energy, not a physical one. By this way, using Kaza is extremely dangerous and not taken lightly.
_
_So, even if it is useful, he could not, however, move a building even a few feet, cause love to appear or disappear, or halt the Sun. Or even stop a speeding arrow- it is very limited.
Equipment: Dissoni habitually carries one of either his trusty bow or sword. The sword is special in two ways. It is strong because it is made of a metal found only in Heaven, gondrite, an electric-blue ore that seems to spark. Again, being a holy ore, it is unbreakable, if not indefinitely powerful or unable to be stolen and used against him- about as powerful as steel, maybe a bit more.
_The second attribute of the holy ore is simple and quite obvious: demons are effected by its very touch, leaving a white-hot burn that eats at the affected one's strength over time, rather than the flesh. The sword cannot not kill by this mechanism, but it can decide the winner in a cat-and-mouse game when Dissoni is searching for an already injured mark.
_
_His bow, his most reliable weapon, was crafted in Heaven also, this time from a tree that prospered in the city. The wood looks of gold and shines dimly, but the arrows do not. They are mundane in the fullest- oak with iron heads, and ten in number at the beginning of his tale. Again, the bow is only unbreakable, still leaving other flaws, such as the string, which is breakable.
_So this leaves holes in the design of this team, bow, string, and arrow. Dissoni will eventually run out of arrows, he will miss occasionally, and even though the bow will not break, it is difficult to bend enough to do extreme damage past the mundane yew bow.
_
_Other special equipment is nonexistent other than a normal black leather glove on his left hand(even though he is right handed) and his small cache of manna, the angel food. It will preserve indefinitely and supply good energy, but will not last forever. He must learn to overcome greed.
*Familiars: As of right now, there is no familiar, but I plan on letting him find one later. It will probably be another half-demon, either a dog- or bird-like creature. Details will be explained at that time in-game or maybe referenced to an OOC description.
((Hope I did OK, and I look forward to critique. Thank you.))
