DECK AND DUELING DETAILS

Deck Details
Has a Six Samurai deck, but only as a courtesy, it has never once seen play. Plays a Sliver deck in their game of choice, though.

Dueling Style Details
"So then I... wait, how many stars means I can summon it for free? And then... Fuck this, I'm gonna go play Magic."


IN-DEPTH PROFILE INFORMATION

Personality Details
A bit of a dick. CD generally insults everyone they meet. There's not really any bite to it, it's just how s/he is. CD is a rebellious punk, though, and a bit of a contrary ass. The surest way to ensure s/he won't do anything is for an authority figure to ask them to do it. However, to their peers, CD is a bit more... well, friendly in their typical insulting, demeaning, but ultimately harmless way.

CD has a huge grudge against any white mages for undisclosed reasons, though, and tends to fly into a rage upon seeing any evidence of white magic or holy things. Which, given the fact that they tend to burn the kid really badly, is generally a bad idea.

S/he is also a gun otaku. Ask about their gun, and CD is very likely to go starry-eyed and start rambling at length about the pistol, its abilities, make, history, etc... even in the middle of battle. S/he also is an avid video gamer, preferring the games to actually leaving their room and interacting with people. CD doesn't play shooters much, though, complaining about how off the guns are and how unrealistically they're handled. ("That's not how you hold that, the recoil would take your finger off- That should have ricocheted! Aaagh!")

Capabilities Details
Main skill, of course, is to compress magic into the form of bullets. This puts great stress on any weapon and one that was not specially reinforced is liable to break apart after two or three shots. By compressing and storing them as bullets, one can have the effect of the spell for long after the initial casting, thus having far more spells ready than their own magic power would allow. Also, the attack becomes more powerful and has greater range and speed, making it generally superior to most other forms of offensive casting.

However, the true strength in this is in combination. By combining two or more bullets, CD can create a fusion spell, or use their true techniques; the art of summoning. Each bullet has a name, though CD has nicknamed a few, and CD gives an incantation with each bullet before firing in order to summon. Post with in-depth explanations of all abilities forthcoming. After I finish Elsebeth's app.


MISCELLANEOUS
A completely optional section that many players use to further flesh out their characters with details that one may not readily know. You can fill out as much or as little as you'd like.

Appearance
At first appearance, the kid is a scrawny little early teen, looking pretty underfed, even. It has really shaggy brown hair, roughly shoulder-length, and really sharp red eyes. The kid looks very, very androgynous, though, and takes great care to remain so.

Trivia
• Closest friend(s): N/A
• Worst enemy(/enemies): White mages.
• Family: Not telling, presumed dead.
• Duel Spirit(s): N/A. Has a habit of harassing people who can't see them, though, especially ones who use those special contacts Lila supplies for her minions to see anyway.
• Favorite food(s): Pizza
• Favorite color(s): Red.
• Favorite activity(/activities): Gunplay, video games
• Least favorite activity(/activities): Talking to older people.
• Character theme: Inherited System - Tetra-Fang

Post Re: CD
CD belongs to a small clan known as the Demon Race. In the Middle Ages, powerful wizards tied several spells to their bloodline in an attempt at a quasi-immortality, creating this clan. The members of this clan have had their souls altered slightly. As a result, upon death, they do not go to the afterlife, nor can they reincarnate. Instead, their souls are diverted into a special plane, the Plane of Summoned Creatures. There, they are given a new form which is crafted by their soul- They have no say in the matter, but it is a form that suits them. After this, they can be summoned by the members of this bloodline.

The clan's name is something of a misnomer- Physically speaking, members of the Demon Clan are still human. The only visible difference is in slightly pointed ears, and red eyes with cat-like pupils. They also tend to have a tremendous amount of magical power.

However, these demonic traits and general soul-fuckery did not sit well with Europe of the Middle Ages, and so the churches went after them. Being that the church specialized in 'holy' and 'white' magic, those of the Demon Race learned to become very sensitive to white magic or holiness in general- Those who didn't have this ability tended to end up with a slight case of dead. This sort of ability did not help with their demonic association, however, especially because as the sensitivity got stronger, it became outright painful for members of the clan.

The clan wandered around as nomads for a very long time. With the attacks on them, they had to resort to attacking places and stealing just to survive. Their notoriety grew, though the clan never stopped attempting to find a peaceful settlement. Finally, they founded a village in southern Britain, integrating it into society as smoothly as possible, hiding themselves. This town was magically protected to hide the overabundant presence of magic- The only way to locate it was by mundane means, and even then it would seem to be a perfectly normal village, if small in modern times. However, magic practice and training was commonplace here. After all, they had to learn how to use their summoning powers. And so shit went down, or rather, shit failed to move at all in any significant sense, <i>especially</i> not in a particularly downward direction, for many centuries.

Then some asshole White Mage caught them off-guard and killed them all.

Okay, that's not quite accurate, but it's fairly close. Centuries of being unbothered had left the Demon Race rather peaceful. There wasn't a single one of them who had real experience in magical combat, outside of schoolyard tussels that were quickly stopped. The white mage had also used the same sort of spell the village had to mask their presence. The village was blown up fairly quickly, and there were no survivors except for CD.

Okay, that wasn't quite accurate either. In reality, there were many survivors- After all, there was a whole village of people, and just one attacker. Roughly half the village escaped. But in the fire and confusion, and instinctual desperation to get away, most of them could not find each other, and so assumed the others dead. After all, they all were smart enough to use their protection from discovery magic on themselves, and if they told people where they had come from, that white mage could track them down again.

CD is, however, the only survivor of her immediate family, and her gun, the magical focus for her spells, was her father's. Her father gave her the gun to defend herself with before sending her away, trying to stop the attacker himself. (He did not manage to have any significant effect on the battle at all.)

She was soon picked up by Lila, who saw an opportunity for immense profit, pedophilia, and a powerful soldier.



While CD is a capable summoner in her own right, her primary ability is her magic-firing abilities. Her ability condenses the ambient mana in the environment, which she is then able to shape into bullets and fire from her gun. Theoretically, the gun isn't a necessary part of this equation, but rather acts as a focus.

The advantage of her compression technique is that since it uses the ambient mana in the environment, it does not actually draw from her own energy reserves- Essentially, she is casting those spells for free. However, the drawback is from the same source. Since she compresses ambient mana into the free-floating motes, she can only draw out the mana that is already there, and she can't change what it is. The elements she can fire this way are strictly limited to what the area has. The practical aspects of this are that as long as there are other magic-users fighting, CD has infinite ammunition without even dipping into her own magic.

An environment's inherent magic is both reflective of the environment, and what spells have been cast there. A volcano will have lots of fire mana and little water, and a forest will have lots of earth but little fire. However, a forest would still be able to have lots of fire mana in the area if there had been fire spells cast in that place in the past.

CD is capable of creating bullets from her own mana reserve as well, though she dislikes to. The bullets of stranger elements tend to come from her own reserve, rather than the ambient magic. For example, her gravity bullet comes from her, as it is very rare to find that sort of mana in an environment.

When she gathers the motes to compress them further into a bullet, she is capable of firing them off as they are. However, the gun adds considerable versatility. The gun is made out of special material that can repel magic. Normally, CD would have to keep her focus on each spell to avoid releasing it early. However, by loading the spell into the gun's chamber, the gun's material prevents the compressed mana from escaping, thus allowing CD to focus her concentration elsewhere. The immense compression also allows for the 'bullet' to reach the speed of an actual bullet, far faster than the spells could travel otherwise.

A special mechanism in the gun allows it to mix bullets when the chamber is spinning. These allow for fused spell, which has power greater than the sum of its parts. These fused spells can be broken back down into mana and loaded, directly flipping off the laws of thermodynamics in the process.



CD's summoning abilities are extremely well-honed, though admittedly (and repeatedly commented on by the rest of the summons) rather quirky. Using the gun to summon serves no real purpose, other than tying all her abilities together thematically.

Summoning has several strict requirements. By meditating, she is able to send her soul to the realm of summoned creatures. In order to summon something, she must have met that summon, learned both their name as a human (just the given name is fine) and their name as a summoned creature. The creature must also give their permission to be summoned, and the more obstinate ones will give tasks or conditions to allow the summoning. (These summons are assholes.)

After that, the summon is shaped. Each one requires a seperate body of the motes to be created of a specific combination of elements. The soul of the summon then enters the body of magic, taking on its proper form. A sufficiently skilled summoner can even alter the elements used in the summon, giving a summon a different power set.

An incantation for each element used in the summon, while not required, does help focus CD's mind to help her call the plane of summons easier. In addition, the incantations power up the elements a bit.



BULLETS:


Fire Red - A basic fire-element bullet. When fired, it detonates on impact, causing a massive explosion.
"That which nurtures and destroys"
Raging Crimson - A more advanced Fire Red, it produces a bigger explosion.
"The wrath that consumes minds"
Bloody Scarlet - A deeper color than the other two, it has more napalm-like qualities. In addition to the basic explosion, it lights the subject on fire and is very hard to remove.
"The commonality between living things"

Earth Brown - A simple, favored shot. As it is fired, the earth element simply causes it to pick up more earth element, becoming an ever-growing stone moving at the speed of a bullet. Pain ensues.
"The steadiness that supports life"
Aftermath Waste - A more more complex shot with the power of 'erosion'. Anything hit by this shot begins to wear away as if the winds of eons were wearing at it. This affects all things, including land, hence its name.
"The lifeless end of the battle"
Gaia Brown - Causes the growth of whatever it strikes, augmented by the power of earth.
"The guidance of the gentle earth"

Lightning Yellow - Upon impact, becomes a mass of electricty, frying and shorting whatever it hits.
"Energy that fills the skies"

Windy Green - The basic wind-element shot. Upon impact, it expands into a small whirlwind, causing cuts to whatever it hits.
"Freedom and flowing vitality"
Leaf Viridian - When fired, plants will grow from whatever it strikes. What plants it is seems to be entirely random, as it can be anything from thick vines to bamboo shoots. Regardless, if it strikesa person, it's not pretty.
"The peaceful forest where life flourishes"
Ever Green - One of the fewer non-offensive shots, the recipient of this bullet has their body augmented to resist harsher environments. It's not all-powerful, but it would allow for one to fight in far more dangerous territories than one is used to.
"Flourish throughout the coldest winter"

Water Blue - A rarely-used shot of the water element. It has no real use, it hits like a water bullet. CD is looking into compressing it and firing it to make a water cutter, but has not succeeded yet. Thus, it is more or less a useless bullet outside of a summon component.
"The sustainer of all life"
Sky Azure - In blatant defiance of common sense, hitting someone with this bullet simply gives them the ability to ignore gravity, and fly as they will (temporarily).
"The boundless freedom of the planet"

Gravity Purple - Dubbed by CD as the 'Black Hole Bomb', that is almost exactly what it is. Due to the low availability of Gravity-element, though, it is very rare to be used. Upon impact, the bullet transforms into a gravity well, incredibly powerful (though not as powerful as a real black hole).
"Power that crushes even the laws of nature"
Deep Black - Another shot that is almost impossible to get mana for, Deep Black is a shot of 'annihilation'. Rather than detonating on impact, it simply fires out with the path of a normal bullet, and anything it strikes simply ceases to be.
"The void that all things sprang from"
Silent Black - One more nigh-impossible shot, Silent Black is not drawn from the environment. Instead, it comes out of CD's own mana reserve, given shape from her mind. It is a shot of peace; those struck by the bullet are filled with a sense of calm, peacefulness, serenity, and so on.
"The stillness that protects"

Frozen White - Generally used in place of Water Blue, it is a shot that freezes anything it touches, creating jagged spikes of ice in the process. It does not melt easily, and if enough motes are packed into it, it approaches absolute zero.
"That which prohibits the existence of life"
Shining White - A light-element shot, though not exactly 'Holy' for obvious reasons. When fired, it simply acts as an extended flashbang, blinding everyone to allow for stealth attacks or fleeing.
"The light that shines through eternity"
Judgement White - A blast harnessing the power of the mind, this blast has unrivaled destructive potential, but with the footnote that it damages equal to how 'evil' they are. Good souls will find it comforting, while truly evil people will feel as though their bodies are being utterly shredded. The good who do evil things or other such people who stick in fuzzy gray areas can have odd, unpredictable things happen.
"The light that reveals all"

Steel Silver - Much like Earth Brown. Instead of rock, however, it is metal. Also, it has spikes. Can be manipulated into other shapes, but that takes too much effort.
"The power to fight and overcome all"
Gunmetal Gray - Rather than firing, this is applied to her gun. Yes, her gun is black, don't question it. This vastly powers up her gun, allowing it to survive the immense recoil and making it all but indestructible. Further application of the same motes to the gun makes it tough enough to serve as a melee weapon if all else fails. If loaded, they have no special properties, acting like a normal bullet. Interestingly, her gun gives off these motes itself, meaning she has an almost-infinite supply of it.
"The legacy of my family"
Storm Gray - Not used on its own, it generally is combined with other elemental shots to augment and produce various effects. With Lightning Yellow, it can become a thunderstorm, Windy Green makes a hurricane, Water Blue makes a flash flood, and so on.
"The fury that levels cities"

Endless Spectrum - ???
