Character Name: Kian (Key-in) Donohue
Player Name: Akira-Kisho
Race: Majin
Aspirations: To observe the world burn of its own accord.
Personality:
Kian is an observer. He’s quiet, and rather restrained, by self affliction of course to watch and not act. While other witch eaters are out there, killing and feasting, he merely watches. However, that’s not to say he doesn’t partake, he just does it the easy way, by having others do most of the dirty work, and he reap the benefits. Why would he become active, when he has the ability to just softly say what he wants, and get it from others? Morally misguided, Kian has no qualm with watching others die, but that doesn’t mean he won’t find a friend. In fact, he loves friends. They make for the highest of amusement for him. A friend is easy to coerce and Kian, with his gentle movements, shy face and seemingly innocent eyes, what friend could turn down the soft-spoken requests of one such as he? He’s quite aware of his charisma, despite seemingly shy. It’s all a mask; just like the one he wears to hide his true intentions.
He’s not one to hide his true nature. While he’d offer his friendship to any witch (of course with hidden intention) he will not hide his witch eating side. He’s quick to tell others just how fast he could take their hearts, regardless of it being true or not. But with a tongue as sharp and calculated as his, who would honestly want to argue?
With the world of good and evil blurred before him, Kian has no true aspiration or goal in life. He simply wants to watch the world die of its own destruction, but soft words whispered to one boy here and another girl there, well, let’s say this little observer has a hand in the destruction, regardless of what he may let on. To see the world end though, would be utterly boring for one so fascinated with life, he just simply wants to see as much destruction and horror as possible, and delight in it every moment.
Short Biography/background:
Kian found death to be a fixation early on. His parents were Cerberus Knights, one a majin the other not, with smiles as pure as their intentions. But Kian would listen to their stories, forgetting what the moral to them was. Instead of hearing about the evil and bad in the world and how he should refrain from it, he heard about the Witch Eaters. Their hunger, driving them practically mad with evil and cruelty. He became fascinated with them. So fascinated, he snuck his way into a prison with one Witch Eater there. Originally, the man lashed out at him, coaxing him to get closer, licking at the side of his mouth in hunger. Instead of fearing, Kian wanted. He wanted the power he could feel radiating inside the other. He wanted to cause as much death and destruction as the man before him did. A single shout and quick hands, and Kain was taken from that eater’s sight.
It started with a break to the many necks of birds. Kian began making skull necklaces from the birds of which he killed; each one more sinister and hauntingly more beautiful than the last. Fearing for their child, his parents placed him within the Academy, knowing full well the darkness that resided in their child. They felt they were unable to reach him, and that the school could do better. That’s where Kian found his ability of charisma. It was a small whisper here and there, but he soon found people coming under his power, and two years later, that’s when he took his first heart. Still unsure if his gift was simply because he was smart or because of something more, he fled from his family, knowing they could potentially come after him one day. Despite the idea of patricide, or matricide, Kian found the whole story to be exhilarating. The world was open to him, and so many lives could be affected, or ended by his soft words, or his fierce hands. He donned the broken skull of an animal he killed. To him, it was a symbol of the line he walked. Blurred between the living and the dead. He would never directly interfere, as that would be too easy. No, he’d walk the path of an observer, only whispering small, tiny events, and watch the destruction take its own path.

Character Name: Ilya
Player Name: Ninjagami Ryo Kage
Race: Majin
Aspirations: To survive and become stronger while removing the pawns in his way.
Personality:
Introvert: Ilya keeps to himself and rarely talks with others, he thinks of humans as food and rarely anything else. He has always been like this, even when others have called him a friend. He may break silence if the human seems to be a bit different or interesting in a way. He will keep the conversation short and very simple, usually a wise crack or an insult in order to fluster the human more. But, in the case of those who are obsessed with death as he is, he may open up enough to let them see how dark his mind really is. He does talk to himself when he is alone and often while planning since it helps with his memory. This also follows through when he is around other Majins, even with those who rely on him at times.
Patient, Cold, and Intelligent: He waits quietly to strike, he always lets things lay low if a plan changes. He looks at all possible moves on both his side and his prey's side. He has been like this ever since making a mistake while very young, allowing his prey to get away and warn others of his presence. He has learned how to set traps and take care of loose ends when needed, giving no mercy in most cases. He is often cold to other Majins, considering the ones who blend in with the humans to be weak and disgraceful. He often looks for their flaws and takes note of them in case he ever has to take them out.
Quirks and Flaws:
Pride: Although he is very intelligent and thinks things through to an extreme point, he refuses to ask for help no matter how bad of a situation he may be in. This is a huge problem for when he is confronted by a Reaper or anyone stronger than him that might try to stop him. He always wants a challenge though because he believes that nothing can stand in his way because of how careful he is with everything he does.
Obsession with Death: He loves death, often keeping a small trinket from his prey. He often alway cracks a smile when he lures prey into a cemetery to meet their fate. He loves when people are depressed or always thinking about their own fate, it gives a nice taste to their heart. He won't taunt the person though, for that give a bitter taste which makes the whole thing sour. If he feels like speaking to one that is also obsessed with death, he may tell them how their death is closer than they think in order to add other tastes to a witch's soul.
Talking to Himself: He often talks to himself when in a secluded area or when he is on his own in general. It ranges from a quick reminder to an entire plan or conversation depending on his mood and what he is doing at the time. He also will have a fight with himself if a task seems too mechanical and simple to him.
Short Biography/background:
Ilya started out as a cocky and rash Majin, knocking down obstacles in his way without thinking anything through. Rarely cleaning up after himself and finishing off witches after devouring their hearts, leaving their remains in the forest. While this worked for quite a bit of time, he one day was caught in the act of taking a witch's heart. Many of the other Witches ran him out of the town but only after he received a scar over his eye from a Reaper. He quickly changed his ways in order to stay alive and to become stronger. Training his speed and skills became his top priority for a few years, leaving him with a keener sense of how people move and act. A few Majins followed him in order to hide from Reapers that he had also dealt with in his years of training. He thought very little of them since they often made crucial mistakes which could lead to their own ends.
After a few more years he began to pick up his pace on eating witch hearts, quietly watching over the empty shell that was left behind after their hearts were gone. Only a few humans ever heard his voice, one of them being a young witch who aspired to become a reaper. He taunted her at the end, reminding her of the reality things. It was his favorite prey, it took him a few months to pin everything down in place because of how she was so close to reapers. He has never dealt with someone who brought up such a challenge since, leaving him to play games with his prey these days between checking in at his small home and dropping off the trinkets he kept from all the witches whose hearts he had devoured.
Recently he has taking to categorizing his belonging and taking notes of the different ways emotions change the taste of a witch's heart. His small home is organized to such a degree that it stands to make a librarian weep with tears of joy.

Character Name: Samael (real name Sam Mardon)
Player Name: Eternal Newbie
Race: Majin
Aspirations: To help the restless dead find peace; to bring justice to murderers and criminals, especially those who consider themselves above the law (and incidentally eat their souls while he's at it); to avoid being associated with his old identity.
Personality: To most people Samael is a genial person. He holds himself at arms reach, but is perfectly happy to indulge in small talk with strangers. He's loyal to those he considers friends. He likes giving advice when asked for it, and has a tendency to share his opinions on things whether they're welcome or not. He has a sharp tongue for those who disagree with him, and has a tendency to act self-righeous and smug around those who he considers outright wrong. He has a soft spot for the vulnerable and innocent, and a protective streak a mile long. Generally, he's someone who's a little tough to get along with, but otherwise friendly.
But to those that he thinks as criminals and irrevocably evil, Samael shows another side. He considers himself a stern avenger who strikes fear into the hearts of the unjust. He is merciless and efficient when hunting them, and takes their hearts with little remorse. It's a form of repentance, he tells himself. He's a monster who's done irredeemable things, but at least he's targeting the right people. In the end, it balances out.
At his core Sam knows this is a lie - for now, anyways. Being the very creature he was raised to fear caused him to develop a lot of self-loathing and paranoia. But every time he justifies another heart-theft to himself, his self-hatred degrades and his self-certainty crystalizes a bit more. Each theft becomes easier than the last. He is becoming confidant, assured, self-righteous. He is starting to think of himself as the hero instead of a villain. That those who oppose him are either deluded or evil. That he is the watchman of humanity, since they can't do it themselves. Soon, he might forget that he was ever reluctant to take hearts in the first place.
Short Biography/background: Being the son of a Blackheart is hard enough. Sam and his mother lived in a small town near Poena Privus, close enough so his mother could visit the ruins as necessary for her work. Sam was often left alone at home when she was sent on long-term assignments, with neighbors in the close-knit town either stopping by to check up on him or adopting him in altogether. His mother, while caring for him, was a strict disciplinarian. She was tough on him, trying to instill discipline and the ability to defend himself. Neither of them talked much about his father, but Sam knew he'd been a victim of an attack by witch-eater sympathizers before he could remember.
With this environment, the slow realization that he was a majin was horrifying. For a time Sam pretended like everything was normal, hiding his secret from the world and himself. But the pressures of adolescence mixed poorly with his growing hunger for souls. He lived in paranoia, wondering if today would be the day he'd hurt someone by feeding from them, he'd consume someone like his father was consumed, he'd be found out, his mother would be ordered against him...
So one night he ran away from home. He ended up in Moonfall, living on the streets until a recruiter for a small cult offered him a place to stay if he joined. So he did, and was quickly accepted as a valued member, taken into the head priest's confidence. He changed his name and identity to "Samael", both to hide from his past and to fit in with his new friends.
It turned out that the head "priest" had created the cult for his own purposes. He directed the members like a gang, taking over territory and extorting money from "parishioners". They would go to jail, but he'd remain beyond their reach thanks to loyalty and a lack of a paper trail. Samael angrily confronted him after one of his friends was caught for assault on behalf of the cult, demanding that they at least try to free her, and the reader refused, saying that she should "take responsibility for her actions". When the majin threatened to go to the police the leader claimed that he'd never be taken in without evidence - and Samael knew he was right.
The leader's heart was the one Samael took to become a witch-eater.
He justified it to himself through the leader's evil actions. That there were other people out there, just as wicked or even worse, causing harm to others that the authorities couldn't stop. And he, with his newfound powers, could help. He'd become a monster but he could use his powers for the greater good. And if he benefited, if he found their souls delicious...well, the scum deserved to die anyways, right?
Samael still lives on the streets, but as an exorcist, ghost-banisher and general spiritual advisor - and, when the situation calls for it, vigilante.
Tea: Death Chalice - Samael can infuse any liquid with necromantic power. Such a liquid bestows upon the drinker the ability to see, talk to and otherwise interact with ghosts. It also gives the drinker the ability to "smell" death - to tell if a death has occurred in the area and its general nature (old age, violence, etc.). These abilities last only as long as the drink remains in the drinker's bloodstream.

Character Name: Than Delaney
Player Name: Orpheus Solon
Race: Majin
Aspirations: Than wants to follow in his father's footsteps though not until later in life. The man is still strong and without suffer any sort of malady or weakness from old age, as such he seems no reason to settle down at the moment. As it is he hasn't even settled down in a physical sense either, seeming to wander from place to place, spending a good deal of his time out in the wilds. He will come home from time to time, mostly to drop things off at home, before heading out on his way again. He is, to put it simply, a vagrant and prefers it that way.
At present the biggest goal he has is being an efficient hunter, normally doing so with animals because it seems that the 'thrill of the hunt' aids him in keeping his Majin hunger under control but there are times he fails at that. When he finds himself weakening and in need of his fill of magic there is one group that always seems to interest him the most, the Ars Lilium. Killing other magic users is, to him, the ultimate hunt but at the same time he does so sparingly, not wanting to get to much attention turned his way despite his love of the taste of an Ars Lilium heart.
A side goal, and something that he would just like to do one day to prove his skills as a hunter and killer, is to successfully hunt down and take the heart of a Reaper. Not something he feels he is quite ready to at the moment though, wanting to train in his magics a little longer before he attempts this.
Personality: Than is a strange young man with an obsession with death, the dead, spirits, the collecting of skulls, and has a huge love of going out hunting though it's more for prizes then for the food that the animals can give. All that Than wants of them are the bones, skulls especially, horns if they are present in what he is hunting, and the skins. Even before he could go out hunting though he had an interest in such things, often bringing home strange things that he found when he went adventuring outside of town. He'd also hit up the butchers in town for the skulls of the animals that they were selling, something that allowed him to have quite the extensive collection, his favorite ones always being those of rams due to the twisting horns that they had.
Seeing a kid, especially a kid who had a father such as his, dragging home such things, as well as hanging out around butchers, poachers, and just following around crows to finds kills lead him to be a bit of a loner. It was something that was by choice though it was merely due to the fact that most people saw him as being a little too morbid to be hanging out with. If he cared, or if he cares now, it's really hard to tell. The next great conquest is what interests him the most, not the friendship of some random towns person. If he were to actually go out of his way to make friends they would have to be quite interesting, perhaps another Witch Eater, someone with a power greater then his own, or perhaps someone more skilled in the realm of death then he is.
Reapers, while a danger to Than due to what he is and what hes done in the past, and will do in the present, seem to fascinate him. How efficient they and the Black Hearts are at kill, it's something to behold, not that he'd want to see such skills up close but it's fine when they are used on others. Like Reapers and their more dangerous counterparts it seems that all predators, even those found in nature, are something that he finds great interest in. Were he not so morbid in his interests and no so tempted by his Majin hunger he might have ended up a Ars Lilium.
Short Biography/background: Everything else Than takes from his kills, such as the meat, he will end up returning to his father who lives in Lumena and a man that, in a way, Than is emulating with his interest in the dead. His father is no great war hero, he isn't even a terribly good caster, if anything he is mediocre at best but what he does do on a more then exceptional manner is his work as a mortician. Never once did the man really think to question whether or not it might be a good idea to allow his son to watch him work. If anything he encouraged it, wanting his son to follow along in his footsteps and one day take over the 'family business'.

Character Name: Pierce Hart
Player Name: Appeal
Race: Majin
Aspirations: To maintain a balance with entropy. In other words, Pierce wants to mediate the magic in the world.
Personality: The Pierce Hart that stands in front of the world now is nothing but a shell of his former self. The cage had been broken the moment he'd taken the step to eat a witch's heart and since then he'd been freed. Pierce is no longer trapped on the outside of the world looking in. The world quickly swallowed the majin whole and from there Pierce has grown freely in the world. Now he is no longer the ordinary majin that he once was and he realizes it. Instead he is extraordinary and he has no desire to become trapped on the outside looking in again.
Times have changed and Pierce no longer becomes bored by the world around him. All of the colours have changed and everything has become more clear. Everything is interesting, even if in the most minimum fashion. The lower on the scale, the less interest Pierce may have in it but he realizes there is not a thing in this world that cannot be used to tip the scale. Everything in the world has a purpose and he will not allow anyone to waste it. Whether it is food or simply time, he will not stand for it.
Pierce promises with another witches heart that won't ever lie to you. On the other hand it is extremely probable that he'll withhold the proper information from for his own benefit. Whether that information really isn't very important to you in the end, he's more than willing to keep it over your head while you think it is. Anything can be used to tip the scale and he's more than willing to see what happens if he does. However, he will not allow you to. This is his job and he takes it very seriously so go find your own.
Cool, calm and collecting the world one piece at a time. The time will come when Pierce Hart is going to come after your piece too.
Short Biography/background: Simply put, Pierce was ordinary. There was nothing out of the ordinary that pushed him into eating a witch's heart. There was no trauma that pushed him into the darkness nor any sacrifice from any loved on that saved his life yet changed it forever. No, Pierce led an ordinary life, had ordinary friends and suffered the same ordinary fate as other majin. He craved the same cravings as them and he fought them just the same. It was ordinary and for years that's all it was. It wasn't until one day, out of the blue, that Pierce's ordinary life changed. It was the day Pierce decided to see what would happen. It was the day he ate the heart just because he had nothing better to do.
