AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLMENT FORM

User Image*Chibi art from Lucifer Force; Sin is totally his best friend for LIFE XDD
Name: Rosciel (Raw-shii-el)
Nicknames: Rosc (Rosh)
Gender: Male
Age: About 15, in appearance and attitude anyways (In other words, too old to act the way he does)

Faction/Race Demon - Incubus (Longing, rather than Lust)

Personality: (Let us know a little about them, give us a small paragraph about their personality, traits, character quirks, and the likes.)
Don't Talk To Me - Rosc is pretty much a pain in the a**. He's definitely the basic idea of a bad-boy, mostly because he really just doesn't give a damn. When he's allowed to, he acts aloof and tries to ignore everyone around him (Or at least appear so), something of a slacker, but when forced to interact, he's rude, temperamental, and really an all-around jerk. For the most part he tries to keep that quiet manner, but if one tries to engage him, he/she get the full force of his attitude.

Hitting the Books - The only thing he really does pay attention to on a regular basis is school. It's just really difficult to tell when a student is paying attention if, well, they don't have eyes.
Contrary to what his slacker-like actions would insinuate, he does want to learn how to be a better demon, he just doesn't want to compete for the tippy-top, plus it's simply in his nature to not look like he's trying. To him, competition is dangerous, even deadly when you go too far. He's perfectly fine being number 2... or 20... or 200, as long as it keeps his limbs attached.
User Image
Still An Incubus - He has his moments of a charming attitude, usually with someone he can feed on regularly. Or it could just be someone he singles out, one can never really tell with him. He'll engage in conversation, compliment, even sweet-talk, though mostly just with girls. When it all comes down to it, he's still an incubus and it gives him a rush to toy with their emotions.

In short, he likes to pick and choose who to interact with and despite everything, he's still naturally attracted to females. He's still highly distrustful of them and doesn't like anyone, male or female, at his back. The moments of charming attitude are his natural inclination to be near someone with strong emotions, in his case strong desires.

Not Quite Blind - He is very touchy about his eyes, or lack-thereof. He doesn't like to show them off unless trying to scare or freak someone out since it wasn't something that came about naturally and still holds painful memories. While not having them might be an aid (No one can poke his eyes), his ability to see is still centered around the area where his eyes would have been had they not been removed. So if another creature with magic tries to poke them, his vision spell goes haywire and he's blinded for a moment. In reference to them, it's the only time when he's being perfectly honest. Beings of pure physical have no effect on them in this scenario.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? (what do they wish to learn, what classes are they interested in)
Born high in the demon class, Rosciel was grandfathered into a group of elite demons when his parents were murdered by his aunt. However, most of the other members were twice, if not three or four times his age, so he quickly became the b*****d little rebel son of the "family." Sick of his attitude and poor work-ethic, his mentor Nicodemus punted him into the Academy hoping it would shape him up a bit.
User Image
His interests lie in learning to manipulate and scheme more efficiently since he's not the greatest of fighters and, well, the girls of the school, to be honest. Practice, mostly, on the latter front.
Maybe make some connections to use later on in life.
Physical education and any heavy reading/writing courses will likely be his very least favorite part, but he'll deal with it.

FEAR: (What makes them tick? AKA: what is their power, derived from fear.  This is the fear they cause not a fear they have.  I.E. this is their special ability.)

Natural Ability: Need
Rosc has a natural ability to guess what others want, which allows him to be more appealing if he can supply it to them. Its strength is measured by the strength of a person's longing for something, be it an item, a person, a result, etc. The stronger the longing, the easier it is for him to come to a conclusion of what it is they want without any verbal communication.

FEAR Ability: What you see...
By using varying levels of FEAR, Rosc can generate an incorporeal illusion of another person's desires as a distraction (The bigger/more complicated things require more to create). If someone desires another person, he can manifest a copy of that person reaching out for them (At this point he cannot add sound) or something fulfilling the opponent's desire, if it's a thing then he can have it appear before them, etc. His illusions are only that, however, since there will always be something wrong about them (Mostly not touch-able, but as he learns to use it, it might be something in the appearance, sound, movement, etc.), something that shows it's not the real thing. This works easiest on weak-minded individuals or those whose desires are so strong. It can be a lot more difficult against those with strong minds or who only have weak desires ("Oh, I kinda want this, but don't really care either way" kind of thing). It can fail if Rosc cannot concentrate on forming the illusion or hasn't had the time to read the opponent.
User Image
*Tapping into this is what allows him to "see," as it is one of his only desires, but as his illusions will always be flawed, he will never be able to truly see. On top of that, when he creates an illusion in a fight, his vision fades depending on the effort needed to put into the illusion (He can go anywhere from shapes being fuzzy to completely blind, depending on the tax it takes).

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: He doesn't have any, though they used to be deep blue
Hair Colour/Style: Blonde, a bit past his shoulders and straight/layered. He usually pulls most of it back into a tail with some bits not long enough for it hanging about his face
Skin Colour: Light (Almost pale) Caucasian
Clothing Style/Colours: Mostly blacks and reds and leather.
- A deep, blood-red blindfold
- Leather longcoat with pockets that's kinda torn up at the bottom with a red web design (Subtle, not thick lines) on the sleeves and around the back
- Rather than a shirt, he just has dull/worn tan linens wrapped around his chest. They start under his arms and disappear into his pants
- Black boots
- Loose black pants that drag on the floor enough to get frayed and lie over the boots (Meaning, the tops of the boots aren't on the outside of the pants)
Extra:
- White, feathered wings but the right one is all torn and bloodied
- Teeth and nails/claws are sharp/pointy (Just a little bit more than a human's)
- Two vertical rows of three small black horns on his head starting at his eyebrows and ending just in his hairline (Three pairs)
References: Quick little chibi sketch-and-color (Contrary to the chibi, his wings are larger than that. The left goes down to about mid-thigh and the right only about to his hip as most of his primaries were torn out, he has a few left, as well as some secondaries and coverts. What coverts and primaries remain are ragged. And his teeth are closer together/more human-like in spacing but still pointy... And his pony-tail isn't that long, either. It just barely peeks out beside his neck. Retrospectively, later my chibis are much better. XD)

User ImageHistory: Rosciel was born the only child of two prestigious demons, a succubus and her lover. He was a beautifully dangerous infant, feathered wings, golden hair, bright blue eyes, and sharp all over. He was just starting to walk when his father's sister attacked his mother's household, deranged into thinking that if she removed the succubus from the picture, her brother would return to the family and restore its honor. The enraged demon tore his mother apart, but couldn't bring herself to kill her nephew as he was her own blood, so she ripped out the eyes that resembled his mother's and set about to tear out his wings when his father came home and intervened. She tried not to fight him, but they eventually ended up killing one another.

Nicodemus was one of his mother's friends, a Nightmare and head of an elite club of demons. Upon the death of his parents, Nic took the young incubus under the wings of the club. There, Rosciel learned how to see without his eyes, though he is incapable of normal reading and writing, and the very basic principles of FEAR. What he also gained was a teenager's arrogance, back-talking attitude, and laziness. Now, while a few in the club found this amusing, even endearing, Nic was soon at his wit's end and in a last-ditch effort to set him straight, he enrolled Rosc into the Academy.

Extra Notes:
Rosc's Vision
Can See - Objects and their physical surfaces (Meaning he can see faces and expressions), textures, shadows, and reflections (These are less formed and look more like vague shadows, so he hates mirrors)
Cannot See - Colors, patterns, anything printed*

(*Yes, he can read raised lettering, brail, and chalk with a little extra effort)

Rosc's Vision v2.0
By concentrating very hard on printed words, he can make out the words well enough to read. Doing so tunes out his normal vision because he has to focus on the print, and concentrating so hard on it results in a headache (Hence why he doesn't like reading)
Can See - Printed material
Cannot See - Objects and their physical surfaces, textures, shadows, and reflections
Effects - Major headache


User ImageRosc's Room (I think it shows a bit more of his character)
In the words of a friend of mine, Spartan.
Sparse furniture (Desk, bed, chair, windowseat, a few tables and a footstool) of similar wood style but no pieces (except a pair of bedside tables) matching in color.
All cloth pieces are soft and comfortable, picked out by him through touch. Curtains, bed-linens, and cushions only match because Nic helped.
There's a drawer with a few personal effects in it and a walk in closet, but besides that it's a pretty uninhabited-looking room. The only thing that really stands out apart from the tacky mismatch of wood and lack of mirrors is the dark cello by the window and the black PreC on his desk. He needs a speech program in order to use it.

Emblem Idea: A white heart wrapped in a dark red strip of cloth, a thin trail of red dripping from under the strip
Or the same thing only in shades of black and white and gray.

Family
Nicodemus (Nightmare): Nic is Rosc's true guardian. He finds the young incubus annoying, stubborn, and completely full of himself. Now, while he secretly approves of this behavior, that doesn't mean he wants it directed at him. He does his best to train Rosc, but even with the help of the other club members, he's coming to his wit's end.
Akariel (Kitsune): Akariel was often the instigator whenever Rosc was up to mischief. He genuinely likes the boil and they get along almost like brothers despite the large difference in age.
Namshiel (Sloth Demon): Nameshiel was probably the first one to decide that Rosc needed a hobby besides driving all the club members insane. He figured music was the best course of action. Under his "wing," Rosc learned to play the piano but found it boring and ultimately threatened to break it the next time Nam told him to sit down for a lesson.
Rosanna (Greed Demon): His major female "parent," Rosanna looks out for him as if he was her own son. In fact, she is quite possessive of him and fights Nic the hardest whenever he threatens to kick the boil out. She was the one who picked up where Namshiel left off with the music lessons. She instead took Rosc to a music store and had him pick out whatever instrument he'd like from a list that she knew how to play. Ultimately, he picked the cello and she taught him how to play it.

Mini-Pets
Surprisingly enough, Rosc is very fond of his minipets. Because they depend on him and only have a concept of loyalty, specifically to him, he has no trouble letting them free in his room no matter what he's currently doing. More often than not, they're found on his bed with him when he sleeps, Prancer at the foot because of his size.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Ripley - The Curious
Ripley gets into EVERYTHING. She's a very pleasant, affectionate foxsquirrel, and spends most of her time sticking her nose where it shouldn't go. She's often the cause of Bob getting out of the closet, for as soon as she goes running in there to find something interesting or follow Alvilda for some reason unbeknown to Rosc, out comes the blasted crow.
She's the only one that wants to leave Rosc's room that has his permission to do so. If Prancer goes about, Rosc doesn't know about it half the time and if he could forbid Bob from ever leaving his room, he would in a heartbeat. Ripley, on the other hand, is usually allowed to ride about curled up in Rosc's coat pocket as long as she behaves herself.


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.MC - The Cat
The easiest way to describe MC is a cat. He lazes about, treats Rosc like his servant and/or heating pad. He spends most of his time lying on Rosc's windowseat. When the incubus is around, MC enjoys spending time in his lap for the warmth and what little attention he'll get.
*MC was a gift from Rosanna. No one has yet to tell him what color MC actually is.






User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Prancer - The Problem
Prance likes to make trouble. Not terrible trouble, but rather things like displacing things for the hell of it, though usually not Rosc's things out of respect. He's a manipulative and clever beast with a wonderful poker-face, who knows how to get what he wants and bothering his master usually isn't one of them.
*Prancer was a gift from Nic, who thought the Reigndeer would behave... or teach Rosc responsibility or something. Yeah, he was wrong.





Spend Most of Their Time in the Closet
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Alvilda - The Thief
If Prancer displaces things, Alvilda downright steals them. It's not a compulsion or a need to have things, more of a way to amuse herself. Whatever it is that she took is usually returned soon after. As a lepus, she often sneaks out of Rosc's room to join up with more of her pirate brethren to go on large-scale acts of thievery.
Around Rosc, she acts very much like MC, though much more affectionate.
She comes out of the closet whenever she feels like and has the opportunity to do so.
She didn't actually lose her right eye or anything and can actually see fairly well through the cloth. She takes it off whenever around Rosc.



User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Bob - The Idiot
He's always doing something to piss Rosc off. He's a pervy old crow who enjoys watching the girls of the school. Especially the fearleaders.
Bob is the only one that doesn't join the others on Rosc's bed at night, specifically because he has his own nest on top of the wardrobe.

Ban - The Trickster
Ban is by far Rosc's favorite. She plays tricks on anyone she can get her paws on, except for Rosc. She's loyal to her master and often chases Bob and MC about when they are causing trouble.
*Ban was a gift from Akariel. She was to replace him in encouraging Rosc into mischief-making.

.: F.A.Q. :.


:: Why does a demon have feathered wings?
The appearance of succubi and incubi varies between cultures and time periods, though a recurring trait has been that they will appear as attractive men and women in order to seduce their human victims. Some depictions had wings, some didn't, and the type of wing varied between bat-like and feathered.

Rosc's design specifically has wings because his original character design is a fallen angel that became the patron demon of tainted love and seduction. I checked to make sure the lore allowed for an incubus to resemble a fallen.
They're white for a couple of reasons
1) It makes him look a bit more trusting/good. It gives him an edge against humans.
2) It fits his appearance better. XD

Both incarnations had someone tear their eyes out and their right wing, the first in the War, his aunt in TiH.

:: All his art has him in pants and those wraps and that coat. Does he wear anything else?
Technically, no. Rosc is paranoid about looking foolish with clothing, so all of his clothes look the same, that way he can just reach into his closet and pull out something to wear. He wears the bandages for a personal reason and replaces them every couple of days. Yes, he does wear shirts on top of that, but only on cooler days. And his shirts are either black or matching his blindfold.

:: Why did his aunt attack his mother?
She was very elitist and felt that her brother's relationship with the succubus was a disgrace to their family name. If she could take Rosc's mother out of the picture, she could restore their status.
We can also safely say she was a little off her head.

:: Personality: I do wonder if he doesn't care because he doesn't trust people? I mean from the whole not having eyes. Most bad boy personalities tend to be just a facade I feel His does some to be that way. Since he tries to be polite but you say he is an all around jerk.
I do get the second half personality of being studious but also being a slacker. This part I think complements the whole "jerk" part of his personality as you called it. He cares about books more than people.

He doesn't trust people because to him even those who are supposed to be closest to him tried to maim him, so why should he trust anyone else? He wouldn't even allow his guardian or any of the other club members at his back.
He's the kind of person who will play nice for a bit if he feels like in order to toss in a remark that would upset the other person even more so that they will leave him alone. He'd rather not have to worry about people around him all the time and having to keep track of where they are and what they are doing.

:: Natural Ability: Very nice but can his natural ability create things/people or is it actually finding things/people?
His natural ability is more just an intuition. Like... he gets a feeling that someone wants something. The stronger the want or the more he's around them, the more sure he becomes of what the desire actually is.

:: Just Rosciel? Why no last name?
Oh, he has a last name, and several other names between first and last. You just don't need to know them.

:: Initially, Rosciel comes off as being a bad boy who prefers to be aloof and ignore everyone... and then later he "has his moments of charming attitude," and it's mostly with female students. Does he simply prefer to be snappish/rude/tempermental when someone tries to make the first move, just because he prefers to be alone? Or does he have a huge dislike for males? Why is this when it's his aunt that killed his mother/wrecked him up?
He likes to pick and choose who to interact with and despite everything, he's still naturally attracted to females. He's still highly distrustful of them and doesn't like anyone at his back. The moments of charming attitude are his natural inclination to be near someone with strong emotions, in his case strong desires.

I'll be adding the history a little bit later.
His aunt tore them out. She didn't like his mother and he had her eyes. She's also the cause of his wing being torn up. I don't really have an explanation as to why the blood never washed out.
PostPosted: Tue Aug 31, 2010 11:36 pm


maybe a stasis spell?
though i'm not entirely sure why he would have wings, specially white feathered ones.

That's a good idea. *Nods*

They're really black, he just makes them white to look more attractive to humans. *Needs to make a color chart tomorrow*
It's a fall-back on my interpretation of demons, I suppose. To me, western demons should have feathered wings and incubi/succubi, at least in one form, should be attractive in the human eye, as they are the seducers.
PostPosted: Tue Aug 31, 2010 11:59 pm


oh i see, though i don't really know any western demons with wings at all. o. o
but in my opinion, which you can ignore if you want, is that demons rarely have white wings because it symbolizes purity. usually when a demon is portrayed with white wings or seen as pure it's because of an illusion they cast to appear that way.

usually if they do pretend to be an angel or something similar they're hunted down by "good" creatures. though i really just make this up in my head, i don't really have factual proof of this with myths.

"at least one form?"
are you implying that he also has shape-shifting powers?

Hmm, interesting. I should perhaps clarify when I say western, I mean western Europe. Incubi and Succubi typically are portrayed to have wings and were portrayed with either bat or feathered.

I know, it's sort of a mockery of that idea. Wolf in sheep's clothing kind of thing. The "best" (Or worst, on the human's end) kind of demon is one that is alluring.

Less shape-shifting, more illusion. All he really has is a that over his appearance (Changes some colors, hides his teeth and claws a bit), a little bit of magic that allows him to kinda see, and the charismatic aura his kind generally have. The downside of using the illusion is he isn't as strong physically.
I'm a little uncertain on how the natural and FEAR abilities work, so if that's one too many, I can tweak it.
PostPosted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 12:20 am


for fear i think what he has now is ok, though it could have more explanation on how much his vision worsens when he activates it. and how he would approve as he becomes a second year would be good too.

and illusion would be an ok natural ability as long as you limit it to one or two things and not combat oriented.

crit me back possibly? :3

I did glance over Yogurt's thread, though, and it looked interesting.
