Name: Christian Hellraiser
Occupation: Apprentice
Nationality: Romanian
Height: 6.3
Weight: 200
Age: 18
Hair: Black
Eye color: Dark brown.
Appearance:
(Without the make up)
He usually wears rather impressing looking attires. With white suite in line with white vest that covers white button up long sleeved shirt that always has last button undone exposing a part of his neck. On top of that he also has a short white jacket and white leather gloves to match the overall suite. His white pants with white shoes only add the effect to his overall image. He also has a white trench coat that reaches the middle of his lower leg but he puts on if it’s cold or raining. His sword is usually wrapped in a gray/white peace of cloth with a couple of strings wrapped around it. Christian holds the strings over his shoulder so his sword would be touching his back wile his hand is in his front. Overall his appearance is rather rich and calm. But appearance is mostly deceiving.
Personality: Christian is a very dark and cold individual. His dark emotionless mind is completely driven by the thought of destruction and death. Some may even call him a madman but Christian if far beyond that. In reality he is extremely focused and calm. Destruction is his goal and he is ready to use any means necessary to reach it. He always knows what he must do and will never hesitate. He also despises magic users with all his essence and will not spare any of them if the choice is his to make. The only person he loves and listens to is his twin brother Vincent while everyone else is either a tool or a target to him. Through many years of training Christian has become very well educated and intelligent so it is a very big mistake to mistake him as some sort of bully because for to strong people bullies are weak and Christian alongside with his brother Vincent are anything but that.
Habits: Christian even being so cold and dark has a weak spot for a good book. He can be often seen somewhere sitting alone and reading. However he heavily dislikes to be interrupted and will be hostile with anyone who tries except of course his brother Vincent.
History: The Hellraiser family, originally living somewhere in the southern England, they moved to Romania during the 16th century. They set down near the broadly believed haunted peaks of Transylvania. They lived peacefully and as time progressed they flourished with money from their trade. Businessmen. But the last heritage to the large family fortune was two young boys.
The history of the Hellraiser brothers does not begin with birth. The story itself is probably best to be told from death. Death seems to have filled their life every single step of their way. But the most important thing about their story is probably the death of their parents. Their parents were not magical in any way. And yet surprisingly they had some knowledge about magic. The reason is simple. They had some rather insignificant ties with Inquisition. To their parents it was just a band of fanatics chasing fake goals yet even if they are that Inquisition paid them really well. The reason was that their father was a rather successful businessman who had a lot of friends in a couple of countries. And some of them were really useful to Inquisition. That’s how their parents first came across magic.
But fate seemed to not be generous for their family as some magicians did not like the Inquisition and some rather useful deals they were making. Since there was a truce between them since the secret world war and both sides did not want more casualties the said magicians knew that without solid evidence no one would do anything. So when the twins were about 9 years old their home was invaded by wizards and their parents killed. The worst part was that they were slain with very bloody spells right before the twins’ eyes. And yet they were spared because they were too insignificant and no one would listen to them.
A pity but that’s exactly how it happened. They were taken to the orphanage and no one ever listened to them thinking that it was just a trauma. It was just written off as a robbery with murder. And yet the two brothers even though forgotten were not going let this be. As the years went by their despair and sadness turned to hate. Since they knew that they had powers that normal children lacked as they grew they knew that they were just like those people that killed their parents. So they started to learn. At first they perfected their bodies in order to become strong. Christian was better then Vincent at most forms of hand to hand combat and weapon but Vincent showed great skill in marksmanship and when they first go their hands on some magic manuals Vincent shown greater talent in magic then Christian.
Since their parents made quite a lot of money through their lifetime the brothers had quite large bank account and when they first got the chance at the age of 16 they made their way out of the orphanage Vincent erasing any trace of their existence from the minds of everyone their while Christian destroyed any files there was on them. So the brothers took their belongings and went out into the night driven by hate and guided their cold calculating minds. A couple of years they traveled around learning and perfecting their magical abilities and learning something new. In some stage they acquired their weapons and became even more dangerous. And recently they have finally found those responsible for their parents’ death. And yet even if their search and vengeance was marked with numerous weaklings falling on their knees and loosing their lives before the two brothers they did not have enough. Their hate was so strong that they are now out to punish the entire magic user society no matter who would stand before them all would fall.
Style: Unlike his brother he is a very ‘Close and Personal’ type of fighter. As he spent all his life perfecting his mind and body he has gained a very good control over his Ki. Combined with his natural speed it gives him the power to deal great amounts of damage with incredible speed. Since most people in Arcane Academy rely mostly on their weapons or magical attacks having such advantage can be crucial. Yet with all of his strength he has also learned to incorporate other forms of magic into his attacks. Elementalism being one of them. With his kicks and punches he can summon different elements and not only sheer Ki power. He mostly uses fire and lightning for they are the two elements that can deal most damage to an opponent. Considering simple hand to hand combat he is extremely fast and flexible even without the help of Ki. He is equally good at hand and leg attacks which he usually combines into one massive combo to reach the biggest effect. One last thing about his style is that he is not only good at hand to hand combat he also possesses a very dangerous weapons.
Strengths: Great speed combined with unbelievable reflexes and flexibility. The control over Ki allows him to manipulate his strength to some extent. With his elemental strikes he can cut through most simple defenses dealing some rather nasty damage to his opponent while his sword allows him to fight several opponents at the same time. His Flash Step move is also extremely useful allowing positioning himself close o the enemy and giving himself an advantage.
Weaknesses: With all of his strengths come quite a few weaknesses. All his fighting is pretty useless against spell casters who can keep him from getting too close and block the attacks of his sword. He is also not very strong without his Ki and can be overpowered by a stronger opponent. A more powerful elemental user can counter all of his elemental strikes since they are not his specialty more of a bonus. He mostly uses simple attacks because most of his special moves require quite a lot of mana and he can be drained pretty quickly.
Spell list:
Flash Step: It’s a very useful move in close combat allowing a person to momentarily transport himself anywhere in the close distance that way getting himself close to the enemy for the kill or get himself out of the tricky situation. Although it can be used repeatedly in a short period of time and the amount of mana used depends on the distance of travel. He can travel from 1 to 60 feet distance and depending on the distance he can use it from 5 to 10 times until he is out of mana. Yet any simple magic blocking spell will render this ability useless.
Elemental Strike: An attack allowing him to combine a simple hand to hand combat move with one of the elements and empower the attack that way. This sort of attack usually obliterates any form of simple defense yet is useless against magical barriers or other magical forms of defense. It takes a little time to cast and uses a medium amount of mana.
Ki Flow: This sort of move allows him to manipulate his strength and speed to some extent giving him more of one or the other. It can only be active for a short period of time, takes a little more time to cast and uses the amount of mana proportional to gained strength or speed. (Selected amount of points transfer from mana to strength or speed)
Ki Strike: This attack uses the sheer mana or Ki that is concentrated outside the user’s body to attack. It is usually a simple blunt attack that extends beyond the casters body to perform a strike. More powerful variations of this attack include exploding strikes or rays of pure mana. These of course require far more mana and far more time to cast than the usual ones. The simple ones require a little mana and are fast to cast yet can be stopped by barrier or obstacle.
Mind Link: This is not a spell but more of ability. He and his brother Vincent are identical twins. So therefore with the help of magic they have developed a mind link allowing them to exchange thoughts visions memories and so on. The link is always present so it only uses no amount of mana from both sides.
Weapons:
The Blade of Four Winds - The dark weapon is a very deadly peace of art that he possesses. While it is not active it looks like a regular katana with dark handle and numerous drawings of many faces that are drawn screaming in great pain and agony on the blade itself. Yet when drawn for combat the blade usually disappears and any cutting, slicing or stabbing motion that is performed with the handle usually summons the great winds to do the effect for the wielder. Also the blade can be multiplied four times but then the wind that is summoned by one of the copies is weaker. Winds of this blade can be used for many things starting simple blunt dust rising wind to block your opponents view to something as powerful numerous gushes of wind slicing through anything or anyone in their path. Yet this weapon uses the wielders mana to create such effects and with his current power levels only a couple of such powerful attacks are in order before he is completely depleted of his reserves. (From 2 to 6 mana depending on the power)
Dual guns – Christian possesses two old fashioned weapons. They look like a one bullet guns that were used in the XVII century except for the powerful enchantments placed on them. They are covered with layer of silver on the outside with beautiful carvings making them seem more like a museum exhibits then a dangerous weapon.
Gun of 1000 bullets – One of the two guns mentioned earlier. Its enchantment is that it multiplies the bullet when it is shot making all the copies fly into the general direction of the aim. Christian has no control whatsoever over them yet they are extremely useful against multiple opponents or when opponent is weakened. The downside is that this gun takes quite a time to reload and uses the mana of the caster. Of course depending on the wielder’s wish this ability can be turned off temporarily. Christian keeps it in his right sleeve attacked to the special holster that allows him to draw it with one move.
Magical bullet – A weapon named so not because of what it does in general but what it does to the bullet. When fired the bullet is under the complete control of the wielder and its course can be manipulated in any way. In close quarters it can be a very dangerous trick since not everyone will have the speed necessary to dodge the bullet that can shift accordingly to your movement. The effect disappears when the bullet hits something. Also it takes time to reload. Christian keeps it on the holster attached to the belt on is left.
Bullets: Christian uses two types of bullets. One is the steel alloy bullets. They are extremely hard and quite heavy. Able to go through flesh and bones tearing them apart on the exit. Other type of bullets that he uses is steel mixed with silver. They are not as heavy and not as devastating but against vampires and werewolves they are even more effective then steel ones.
