«««PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION»»»
Hair Color: White.Eye Color: Blood red. They have been known to glow.
Gender: Identifies as male, but could be whatever gender he wants.
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 200 lbs
Other Traits: Kyte's appearance can change, and often has. But he never uses this ability when it's convenient for him. He rather likes whatever form his profile picture is, and refuses to use any appearance other than that.
Kyte is rather infamous for the red leather trenchcoat he wears constantly while out and about. Hell, it's the reason he has one of his nicknames! This trenchcoat is the Devil Regalia Avytrius. It has a harness for Mephisto and Gekido on the back, and in times of winter or in cold environments, this trenchcoat is adorned with a tuft of white fur along its collar to help keep him comfortable.
Along with his trenchcoat, Kyte will often wear black combat boots with composite toes to his missions. Other than this, his outfit can vary. If he's in a hurry he might even just put on the coat and forget a shirt, to the amusement of his wife, no doubt.
«««SKILL SET»»»
Main Power Origins: Natural
PowersWrath Incarnate- Wrath is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. His brothers and sisters do exist and have walked among humans since their conception. Wrath boasts some of the most brilliant combat strength of his brothers and sisters, and most of them know enough that they won't mess with him unless they really have to.
Sin Physiology- As a Sin, Wrath looks similar to humans, but is far from it. He does not need to eat, drink, or breathe. He has a strength of 10 tons and can move at speeds around 60 MPH. He has a pair of astral wings that manifest as red energy on his back, and these can carry him with no issue at speeds of 200 MPH. However, these are merely meant to carry him, and he can't fight that well while using them.
To Err is Human- Wrath is a manifestation of the anger of all sentient beings. As such, he cannot truly die. He might as well be considered cosmic. He has impressive regeneration skills. Most light wounds will stop bleeding within minutes, severe wounds are gone within the hour. He can grow back limbs if he survives for a few hours, but he's much more likely to retrieve the limb and try and make it stick back on. If mortally wounded, he will decay rapidly, and then wake up in hell. It can take a few days to come back to the world of the living.
My Kung Fu is Stronger- Wrath created martial arts. He knows most that exist on earth, except for any that have been created recently. If a martial art exists that isn't created by or for an original character, odds are, Wrath knows it in and out.
Keepin' it Stylish!- Wrath has manifested a few abilities over the years that he can activate with a command word. He cannot activate these abilities simultaneously, and he can't flick between them intermittently. Using a new Style takes one turn, and after a Style is deactivated, it has a two turn cooldown.
- "Trickster!" Using the Trickster ability, Kyte gains the power to form red energy at his feet. If he is airborne or standing still and uses this ability, he can use it to make a platform that will propel him in the direction he is facing, or help him jump further. This platform appears as a two-dimensional glyph of bright, glowing red energy, and dissipates very quickly after use. While on the ground and moving, he can use it to propel him for a bit of movement horizontally, making him move in a blur of red and white towards his location for 5-10 feet in an instant. This ability can only be used every few seconds. He cannot use it in midair to make steps or keep jumping around, he is limited to only one, and then can only use another after jumping again. To make the short-range dashes on the ground, he can only do about two every minute.
- "Swordmaster!" Kyte's favorite Style. Using this style, Kyte can make flying cuts with weapons; slices that fly through the air towards the opponent at high speeds, with his trademark red energy illustrating it and telegraphing it to the opponent. If you hear him scream, "Getsuga... Tenshooooo!" just try to ignore him. He'll go away eventually. The weeb.
- "Gunslinger!" Using the Gunslinger style makes Kyte's firearms and ranged weapons that much more dangerous. While using this style, Kyte doesn't need bullets anymore. His firearms will produce ammunition suited for the ranged weapon, and these munitions will be created from red energy that will leave a bright trail behind it as it is fired. The speed of the ammunition released from the weapon is not changed, however.
- "Royalguard!" The second style to place emphasis on Kyte's physical abilities rather than boosting his weapons, this puts a complete stop to Kyte's regeneration and covers him a demonic carapace that can withstand the brunt of ten tons before cracking and exposing the area that sustained that amount of force. When Kyte switches out of Royalguard, his regeneration will cease to function for three turns afterward.
Devil Trigger:♪ "STEEL A SOUL FOR A SECOND CHANCE, BUT YOU WILL NEVER BECOME A MAN" ♪
After a few millennia, the demon known as Wrath, an unstoppable destructive entity, was becoming too powerful and too troublesome for the Sins to keep track of. They cared for their brother, in a way, but it became increasingly more and more difficult to use him to their advantage, especially after humans had briefly discovered that the Sins physically existed. Wrath was also losing control of the wellspring of energy within him. Greed, the Avaricious, and Pride, the Supercilious, decided to treat with Wrath, but he attacked them, no longer having any control of his actions. It was a hard fight, but the two Sins managed to pierce Wrath with his own blade. It drank the endless energy within him, and helped to calm him, reverting him into a much more manageable form. When Kyte chooses to no longer let Gekido feast on his energy, he almost immediately reverts into his demonic form.
Upon separating Gekido's hunger from his being, a violent explosion of energy erupts from him akin to twenty pounds of dynamite in nonlethal force. He is no longer able to use the powers of his Styles; in fact, he has no rational thoughts at all. His mind is overcome with unfathomable rage, and he tries to kill everything around him as long as he is in this form. That is why Kyte will never go into this form if there is anything of a likely chance that his own family could be there. His power skyrockets to 20 tons, and his speed to 120 mph. He is given physical wings that are part of his demonic form, and he is able to use them to fly at 200mph.
Kyte loses his Styles, his healing factor (
To Err is Human), all of his martial arts skills, and he also loses access to all of his Devil Arms, including Gekido. He is given a new one in its place: the Devil Sword Kyte. He can only use this Devil Arm while in his Devil Trigger. If someone touches Gekido, Gekido will automatically return to Kyte and deactivate his Devil Trigger.
SkillsMaster martial artist
Exceptional marksman
Master swordsman
Skilled in business management
Knows every language on earth, but might be rusty in a few of them now
AbilitiesHe's something like an Olympic level acrobat, and very flexible.
The Rule of Cool. Kyte can do things that might take years of practice to do very simply and easily, though it might require more effort than it seems when he pulls it off. Kyte is meant to be stylish. Something like landing on a pool table and catapulting all the billiard balls at an opponent, and firing a bullet into the cue ball to ricochet and send every other billiard ball rocketing into another opponent? Stuff like that. But would be kept to a minimum in regard to hostile interactions with other players.
Has an ability to store Devil Arms in his... prison pocket, I guess? Dude, even
I don't know where he puts those things. Pocket dimension?
Physical WeaknessesOh boy, so many.
Nth metal will deactivate all of his powers. His strength and speed are natural, but his wings and flight, regeneration, Style buffs, and ability to summon weapons will be locked away. Whatever Style he is in will become deactivated, and he will be in his "base form." This is within proximity to Nth metal, though the area of effect does matter on the quantity of the Nth metal in the room. If it is a weapon, hitting him with it will deactivate his regeneration for a few moments generally, and if it enters his body, I.E. a sword or bladed weapon or stabbing weapon, his regeneration will be stunted much longer.
Kyte cannot handle anything divine so well. If anything was his Kryptonite, slap a bunch of holy and blessings on it and it should do a good enough job. His powers will be deactivated much in the same way Nth metal will affect him whenever he is struck by a holy object, or in a heavily sanctified area. In addition, if a sanctified weapon makes skin contact, he will burst into flames in that area, and be quite severely burned if he doesn't get out of there right away.
ALSO ALSO, holy weapons straight up ignore his
To Err is Human power. Instead of resurrecting, he will reincarnate. It would be a new character.
Silver does not have the power-nullifying effect of holy weapons, but it will cause him to burst into flame in the same way.
Holy water will not cause him to burst into flame but will scald him wherever it lands, and nullify his powers for a few minutes. Holy water can be made at a church or other religious congregation site, by being collected from their supply (if the faith is strong there), or by having a practitioner strong in their faith bless the water. The Church of Satan probably wouldn't work, though.
As mentioned above and elsewhere on this application, Kyte's Devil Trigger can be defeated pretty easily. All you have to do is touch Gekido. Gekido won't like being picked up, and it will return to Kyte instantly, absorbing his Devil Trigger. It will also cause him to collapse for a few seconds at the sudden readjustment of his body.
Mental WeaknessesWrath cares about the family that he has created with Greed. He loves his daughters very much. As such, he literally won't use his Devil Trigger even if he needs to if his family is at risk of being killed. He's a demon with a heart now, and that comes with all the drawbacks it does usually.
Equipment- Devil Sword Gekido:
Devil Sword Gekido- Gekido is the sword that Wrath attained by imprinting his soul on that of his first slain demon, and he has carried it ever since. Before he was consumed by his unending rage, it was capable of consuming all forms of energy and then releasing it in any form, but for now, it is an indestructible sword that is used to suppress his Wrath. It can be summoned from and dismissed from his body at any time. Gekido, like all Devil Arms, is on some level a sentient being, and will not submit to anyone but Kyte or his family. If someone touches Gekido while Kyte is not using it, it will dissipate and return to Kyte's body immediately.
- Devil Bow Mephistopheles:
Devil Shot Mephisto- A bow that Wrath attained from slaying a flying beast early on in his life that could fire blue hard light projectiles, it now takes the form of two high-powered handguns. Kyte offended it somehow in recent years, and so now he has to load it with actual bullets when he's not using his Gunslayer Style. It is indestructible and can be summoned and dismissed. Wrath carries two clips for each handgun.
- Devil Arsenal Lucifer:
The Luce- Dubbed "the Luce" by Wrath, he acquired it after defeating a bat-like demon using the name of Lucifer. He was actually quite a strong opponent, and after defeating him, it became a mechanism that can attach to Wrath's back. The wings of the pack will open and dispense 3-foot long iron barbs that become wreathed with Wrath's red energy. When utilizing his energy like this, they can pierce three inches of steel. And when activated with a cue from Wrath, they will explode as if C4 charges. Wrath cannot have more than eight active at a time without detonating them to have more. Wrath can throw these barbs. The Luce is indestructible and can be summoned and dismissed.
When used with Swordmaster, the Luce dispenses 3 foot short swords instead, and they have twice the amount of cutting power. They are dispensed into the air around Wrath, and he has limited control of them. He can send them on unique flight paths like this, but once he sends them away, he can only detonate them or physically retrieve them. No more control.- Devil Sword Kyte:
Devil Sword Kyte- This is a sword that is a manifestation of Wrath's soul, and it appears when he goes Devil Trigger. It has the power of the Waters of Acies. Acies is Wrath's own personal dimension of hell, and it has very copious amounts of a substance called the Waters of Acies. It is essentially molten magic blood. This blood is as hot as magma, and it is about as unholy as you can get. Every swing of Wrath's sword will release an amount of this blood. Devil Sword Kyte can only be used when he is in Devil Trigger.Kyte does carry some mundane equipment with him for emergency situations. Two dozen steel shuriken and a steel combat knife, tanto-style.
«««CEREBRAL PROFILE»»»
PersonalityWhile Wrath is no longer the bloodthirsty Sin he was centuries ago, he does enjoy a good fight, as one might imagine of one who created most martial arts in the world. Wrath is a very complex man. He loves his wife and their children, and while he certainly isn't a saint, he is willing to do the right thing, most of the time, in order to make sure that what he has is not taken and ripped away from him.
Wrath can often be found practicing his martial arts and his swordplay or fighting some ungodly monster or demon that might actually provide him a challenge. Wrath is also, shockingly, intelligent, and he knows how to get under his opponents' skin in battle. He can rattle off quips all day, and mock his opponents with any jokes he can think of. But they're certainly not all keepers.
Wrath is an absolute pizzamaniac. He loves pizza and hails it as one of the best things that humans have ever created in the existence of their entire race. He also thinks that System of a Down is one of the greatest bands ever.
«««PERSONAL BACKGROUND»»»
Family Members: Greed, the Avaricious (Sister, Wife), Rico Acies Caelum (Daughter), Avytrius Caelum (Daughter), Pride, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, Lust (Siblings)
Place of Origin: Acies, Hell
History For most of human history, Wrath was little more than a weapon to be used when the Sins needed protection. He cared for his siblings and would fight tooth and nail for them. But over the centuries, it became harder and harder to rein him and his extraordinary temper in. When Greed and Pride finally found a way to curb his temper, Wrath had difficulty adjusting to life. But she apparently found something about him that she liked not long after, and they decided to marry each other.
Together, they had two anomalous children. They still aren't sure about how the children work, as no other Sins, to their knowledge, have even bred. But they are special, and they care for them dearly. Nowadays, Kyte works as a mercenary with a slightly good lean. He does better because of his family since now he has one to be responsible for.
