Welcome to Gaia! ::

The members of D.E.S.U. have been dispersed through the large city. Due to the current happenings, some have started to assume there will be another battle with darkness coming. Though contact has been lost between members, there is still time to regroup. The Underworld is still too weak to explode into the plain of existance we humans live in, though they grow stronger everyday. In due time, the demon threat will be back. How long that will take is anyone's guess.

Though there are still more problems. Vampires have also been running loose. Though some may be good, the evil ones are the problem. The constant draining of innocent people is enough to throw anyone into a fit of dry heaves. The pale corpses are proof enough that this threat is rising, and it's only a matter of time before another war is launched.

There are also other happenings going on. Some people are going 'crazy' and biting their loved ones, who mysteriously die the next day. Could this be an outbreak of an old virus long ago? The one that killed people before reanimating them? If this threat spreads enough, there could be an epidemic that could spread to the whole world.

It seems D.E.S.U. will have it's hands full.

Gaian name:Zeo-shadowdemon
Character name: Zeo
Age: 16
Gender:male
Race:human
Sub-race:jotun [norse giant]
Squad:has yet to receive one
Personality: Insane to say the least. His goofy nature is usually harmless, though on occasion he's been known to get out of hand with things. His strange way of communicating has caused him to be seen as somewhat of an outcast. He also has a strange obsession with his pants.
Bio: Zeo was brought in to the battle about half way before it ended. Through D.E.S.U. he went from a lowly human into a top slayer in a matter of days. He was out, slaying with the best of desu and participating in the best of battles. His last bout was a shameful one, taking orders from whom he considered his squad leader. After doing an assassination, he had learned that these orders were not given from the top, and thus put many to shame including himself.
After the battle, Zeo has grown closer to his comrades, and has spent his time discussing with them the future of D.E.S.U.
Weapons:
-Insanity and Malice Zeo had found it in an abandoned slaughter house. The chainsaws were possessed by their previous owners, whom Zeo named Insanity and malice. These chainsaws love the taste of blood, and once blood is in Zeo's site, these blades will suck them up into their chains. Their powers are based on blood. The more blood they have, the stronger their abilities are. With no blood at all, they are nothing more than ordinary weapons. They each possess different strengths.
Insanity: It has the ability to release the gravitational pull and place it on his opponent through contact of the blade. Making contact with insanity will cause the object it has made contact to, to increase its gravitational pull.
Malice:eats magic and converts it into the blades. example: someone uses fire. Zeo swings blade at fire to cut through. blade absorbs fire. Fire surrounds blade. The more blood it eats, the stronger the magic and the longer the blades grow from said magic.
-Demonic Guitar: This weapon was found when Zeo was age 10. He came across a demon who challenged him to a guitar duel with this very guitar. Zeo won by deceiving the demon, taking the guitar and killing him with it. This weapon is more of a defensive one. A shield of sorts, seeing as it is made of an ancient steel made in the depths of hell. He can also use it as an escape tool. The demon guitar has a wing on the side, giving it flying capabilities. Zeo rides this guitar like a surf board.

Gaian name: Kokujo
Character name: Overlord Kokujo
Age: Unknown, even to Kokujo himself
Gender: Male
Race: Fire Elemental
Sub-race: Human
Squad: 2
Personality: Kokujo is brash, straightforward and highly charismatic to say the least. He possesses a huge amount of self confidence and this causes him to often get labeled as egotistical, which would probably be fairly accurate. He'll rarely shy away from speaking his mind, and seems to have a sweet-tooth for the thrill of combat. He respects people who have strong wills, and though he's probably more then a little messed up in the head (It's on fire after all), It's been proven that his heart's in the right place.
Bio: Was he looking to help the human race in it's time of need, or was he just looking for another fight? Whatever Overlord Kokujo's reasons were, he had joined the great war on Halloween, lending his ferocity to the Human Defense Center and founding what would come to be known as the Firestorm Legion of D.E.S.U. He made friends and enemies alike while he was there, becoming a legendary hero of the war against the vampires. The conclusion of the fight saw Kokujo drift into relative obscurity, returning to his own fiery domain, making only occasional visits back to the lands of Gaia to remind people that the Orange is the most kickass colour they will ever see. With the shadows becoming restless once more though, Overlord Kokujo has once again turned his attention and hair towards Gaia.
Weapons: Though Overlord Kokujo relies primarily on his impressive physical strength and his powerful fire attacks, he does posses a large, broad-bladed sword which he can summon from his own domain if the need arises. The blade was specially forged for Kokujo by a demon he once met, and enchanted with the element of fire, this combination meaning Kokujo could safely wield it without worrying about damaging the weapon with his own abilities. Kokujo does not know the sword's name, as the demon who forged it didn't get as far as mentioning it before Overlord Kokujo punched him in the face for suggesting he would need to pay for the weapon.

*Let's rock and roll!*

As the victory tune played on Mike's cellphone, an annoyed look crept across his face. He let it play three times before putting down the slice of pizza that was in his mouth and answering it with a "Hwllph?", still having a mouthful of cheeze. There was a sudden scream through the end of the phone that made Mike rip it away from his head.

"AAAAHHH!!! IT REALLY IS THE DARKFIRE ALCHEMIST!!! OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MU-" *click*. He hung up without delay, saying "Damned fangirls, I don't know how they keep getting my number. As Mike placed the pizza back into his mouth, he became aware of the moving shadow outside the window of his shop. He looked to the table by the front door with his guns and realized he'd have to fight his way to the guns, provided the person outside had hostile intent.

As the figure burst through the window, Mike figured they had hostile intent. He saw a flash off of a blade, and kicked his chair backwards from the desk, starting to throw his hands up. As the blade sweeped over his feet where his head used to be, his hands hit the ground and propelled him to the wall. He leaped off the wall and missed the attacker. Spinning quickly, he deflected a blow with his right forearm, grabbed the attacker's arm, and rolled to his back, launching them at the wall. The person dropped their sword which Mike seized along with Ebony, his black pistol, and javelin tossed the sword, pinning the attacker's coat to the wall. He rushed them and put the gun to their chin, holding them against the wall with his right arm.

Now that he was up close, he could tell the person was really a vampire, probably in his mid-twenties. The vampire struggled but was greeted with a steel fist to the chest. "So, what does a vampire want with an old D.E.S.U. member?" Mike said, sounding quite cocky. The vampire hissed, but began to talk after the gun was pressed harder against it's chin. "I have orders to kill you half-breed." it spoke, "If I refused, I'd be dead as well."

Mike laughed. He was dead, well, dead but moving. Mike was only a half vampire, so he got alot of the benefits of vampirism, but dodged all the bad things like burning in sunlight, bloodthirst, and being dead. "I can't let you live after you tried to kill me," Mike said walking away, "but since you came clean, I'll make it fast." As he turned, the vampire had come loose and tried to strike again. Mike used an uppercut with his right arm to the vampire's chin, and as he swung his left arm around, he put a bullet through it's head.

As he grabbed his coat, Mike grabbed his two guns and his Dark Demon Slayer. The guns had blessed silver bullets in them, and the Dark Demon Slayer was a blessed demonic blade, making all his weapons perfect against the undead and demonic. He put his coat on, put his pistols in their holsters, and grabbed a belt off his wall. He had stengthened the leather through alchemy, and tucked his blade between the belt and his back, the two notches near the top of the blade being caught between the belt. "Perfect fit," Mike said as he walked out of his shop, "now, to get the gang back together. This party's gonna rock." And with that, he walked into the moonlit city, another adventure starting.

Mikan strolled the suburbs on his AT's. Rebellion strapped to his back, trench knives sheathed, music blasting, toast with egg in his mouth, and mask on his head. Suddenly his phone rang, it was an unfamiliar tone to him, "The Kill" by 30 Seconds To Mars. Miki had not heard this tone since the vampire attacks, which only meant that DESU was back in business, and he would be able to continue leading it, and Project Genesis.

"Herro?" Mikan asked as he chewed on his toast. "Mikan. It's an emergency. We need you again." a familiar voice pleaded him for help. "Howee cwap! Whu u you nee?" ("Holy crap! What do you need?" for those who can't understand toast-in-mouth-ese) Miki replied with worry as he stuffed more toast and egg in his mouth. "Casualty rates are rising again. We think it's the vampires again. But it's not confirmed." the feminine voice continued panicking. "Weally? Wha do the attacks ook ike?!?!?" Miki said as he dropped the toast in his hand. "It doesn't matter. I'm coming as soon as possible!" Miki finished as he hung up his phone and released the Bagram Regalia quickly exceeding 100mph on his AT's.

Mikan glided along the walls of skyscrapers and slum buildings. Graceful as his tricks are, one of his Bagram Wings were caught on a rail and he fell in front of a nightclub. "Project Genesis" was posted on the banner, along with other tags such as "Firestorm Legion". "Perfect" Miki said as he reached in his pocket and found a camouflage colored key. "Just.. Uhm... There we go!" he continued with enthusiasm as he busted down the doors.
Not long after, Miki heard whispers from behind him. "Vampires" Miki whispered to himself as he looked behind him. There were at least seven in cloaks, and one more in heavy armor with elongated claws. Damn. I forgot to bless my knives this morning. he thought to himself as he burst into the door and locked it with all twenty combinations and posted a seal just in case. I learned enough from my month in the Monastery of the Eleven Miki thought with a fast heartbeat and a smirk. Mikan put his hand on the bar and an opening sound came from under the table. Miki slid down to find the fortress known as DESU.

When Mike was a good mile from the city, he parked his bike in an alley and shut it off. He took his right glove off as he clapped his hands, transmuting his finger on his right hand into claws. "Ah, nice and sharp." he said as he thrust his hand into the wall of a building. He used the claws to help him scale up the building quickly, and turned his hand back to normal after he had reached the roof. He could see the city from where he was, so he leaped from building to building. Due to his half vampiric nature, this was easier than walking. He was still some distance from the city when he heard screams.

Mike checked beneath the building to see two siloettes in a struggle. He leaped down and rescued a young woman, leaping across the street to safety. As she fled, Mike whipped around saying "Alright, who want's a beating?" He expected a vampire, but got a much different surprise: it was a minotaur. "A minotaur!? But I thought vampires were-" Mike was cut short as the beast leaped high into the air. Mike managed to roll to the side just in time to dodge being stomped. The sidewalk beneath the creature cratered as it landed. It grabbed something on it's back and pulled out a giant warhammer. This was about to get tricky.

Mike dodged the hammer with ease. Though the minotaur was obviously efficient in wielding it, it was still too slow to hit someone with some vampire in their blood. One swing was a feint though, and as the minotaur brought it's fist up, Mike managed to get hit at the bottom of his feet, sending him skyrocketing down the block. When this happened, there was a smile on Mike's face as he grabbed his dual pistols. He backflipped and flew diagonally backwards, blowing rounds off into the minotaur. Three bullets went through it's skull, while the rest pierced it's chest. Mike landed with empty magazines, and as he spun his guns, he clicked the magazines out, sending them flying at the minotaur. They hit it right in the nose and knocked it down, dead.

As Mike locked in two more magazines, he laughed "Well, that wasn't too hard!" But as he turned around, there were six more minotaurs, some with axes, and others with similar hammers. Mike knew he'd be dead if he took them all on, so he ran up the building trying to escape. The minotaurs with the hammers though just blew out the bottom of the building with a swing, sending the whole complex falling to the ground. Luckily, this part of the city was full of abandoned buildings, so no one was hurt. Mike pressed the button for his bike to show up as he backed up towards the rubble.

The bike came in a minute and knocked over a minotaur. Mike leaped on and sped towards two of the beasts with axes. They went to swing their axes, but Mike had already clapped his hands and swept one across the ground. It created a ramp in the middle of the street, and sent Mike sailing over the axes. He gunned it and headed towards another part of the city. There was one building he knew that contained the right equipment and people for this problem: D.E.S.U. headquarters.
