No need to be so acidic about it. Trying to help you there, Mike, you should try to think outside the box, think of a way to appease Faust, to at the very least talk things out. He is the devil, you cannot defeat the devil without beating him at his own game, and once you do, there is nothing he can do. Challenge him to play fiddle or something for pete's sake. Just dont fight.
That is something you must figure out young padawan. If you truly wish to save sakura, you must use a sharp tongue and your wits, not your strength. There are many ways to approach it, surely you can think up of one.
Why not use sakura against him? He clearly needs her to be around, so find a way to create a rift between them. Rider knows sakura well, you should thus know how to trigger a divide between them, and use it to defeat him. He is after al her servant, she has a veto right on all his decisions for now, make her use it! Be diplomatic, do not fight either, you will clearly lose.
Andrei is a tall and fairly bulky dead apostle with an athletic physique. His hands, great hands that could easily crush a man’s skull are coupled with short and sharp nails that cut trough flesh without any effort and dig into the bone.
He has long hair, dark as the night, kept in a long braid that goes from his neck to his knees. His pale complexion makes his skin shine like the moon, as his imposing size and composure make him stand out from ordinary men. His wolf-like crimson eyes and thin eyebrows give a narrow piercing gaze as his thin lips and sharp animalistic teeth form a bloodthirsty smile resting on a diamond-shaped face. These sharp teeth, with canines that would fit a rabid hound, have dug into many bodies in the past and hint his inhuman state.
While clean-shaven on the most part, one could see he does, in fact, have side burns that reach his lower jaw.
Andrei usually wears a simple black buttoned shirt, whose collar is always left open. He also fancies a red tie, jeans and neat leather shoes, and prefers to never change clothes unless they are damaged beyond repair.
He always seeks to wear the same attire every day.
He carries many scars across his back, and a large scar resembling entangled snakes runs across both his forearms.
Physical Attributes
Strength: Incredible
Agility: Incredible
Constitution:Incredible(Heroic when hardened, but can't regenerate while hardening and vice versa.)
Other Abilities:
Vampire: Whatever Costin is, he ain't human. He is always hungry, though he learnt how to keep it at bay. To feed, he requires human souls to maintain his body, which he absorbs by drinking their blood or devouring them whole. He lacks a reflection, and his shadow has long left him. If sunlight makes contact with his body he will turn into ash and burn away, but he averts that by literally wearing peoples bodies, which he remodels to resemble his own in the first place. Sometimes.
Grind em' up:While his body is monstruous, Costin has a liking for martial arts, and weaves them into his attacks deceitfully when required.
Just a flesh wound: Costin cannot be incapacitated by normal means and has an unnatural insensibility to pain, being able to shrug off most excruciating wounds and keep fighting at his best constantly. That along with his regenerative abilities makes him a force to not underestimate.
I can smell ya: His sense of smell reaches legendary prowess, being able to instantly deduce things such as sex, age and state of mind of others based on smell alone, yet the smell he is most keen on recognizing is the smell of blood, to such an extent that he could track a wounded man from miles away without too much trouble.
Magical Ability: Very High
Andrei's vampiric power is Blood Qliphoth. By harnessing the negative emotions of the souls he drains, those who surround him, and even himself, he channels these energies into his body for various effects.
Blood fountain: Andrei may bend and harden his own blood and shape it into practically anything ranging from sharp blades to more complex constructs such as chains used to hook himself to other surfaces, helping him zip rapidly around the battlefield and increasing his mobility. The chains can also attach themselves to another’s body, thus one could be pierced, pulled or whipped by them.
He can also create blood guns, ranging from shotguns to handguns machine guns, rifles or even a minigun. They all shoot bloody thorns, stakes, or whatever would be most painful and made of his own blood. His bullets aren't just strong enough to put down even the largest of animals, they also invade the victim's blood through crystallization, gouging their blood vessels and innards gradually unless removed, while also being excruciating to do so. At first, you only have to worry about the thorns, but that is only the beginning. Soon, the necrosis kicks in, and without a powerful energy to keep his own at bay you risk becoming his enslaved ghoul.
Absolute Body Manipulation: The ability to contort and shape one’s body to impossible degrees at will. Twisting or bending any part of Costin’s body will prove useless. He can even manipulate his nerves, blood vessels, lungs and gastric fluids for horrifying effects. For example, he could breathe in to the point he grows the size of a small room and shout hard enough to shatter walls, vomit steel-melting acid, or connect his nerves to other peoples for very bad things.
His control extends to his very body structure on more subtle ways. He can even grow many claws, turn his chest into a massive mouth, have his digestive system drag people in with stomach tentacles and regenerate at will. Even turning his body parts into parasitic life forms isn't impossible, though making living organisms out of dead flesh takes a bit more time.
Blood hardening: Andrei’s training in blood magic enabled him to use it to it’s fullest effect, using soul-infused blood to harden any part of his body at will. This makes him able to become an impenetrable shield capable of blocking powerful blows. When hardened, the limb in question will glow in a sickly blood red color as vampiric energies flow trough the very cells, keeping the tissue together.
Equipment:
Sunglasses: These sunglasses are completely ordinary mundane sunglasses. He wears them because he can and to hide his unnatural red eyes that would easily help others realize his vampiric nature.
MP3 and Headphones: Andrei constantly listen to music, be it day or night, even in battle he will play his favorite tunes. Not listening to music makes him prone to outbursts of anger and violence, thus he always keeps his headphones and music on.
A castle
Metal bat: It’s a goddamn metal bat. Need I say more?
Origin:
That was 175 years ago, when he quit being human.
In all this time, he learned of his identity as an heretic, he learned how to keep his hunger for blood satisfied, how to hide from those who wished to destroy abominations such as him, and how to survive in an underworld where killing was a regularity.
He learned how to live in the dark world of dead apostles, and learned how to enjoy it.
Under the moonlight, he hungers, he preys on whoever he pleases. He only has one goal: to survive.
Weaknesses:
Vampirism: Being a vampire, Andrei requires blood in order for his body to not deteriorate. The sun’s light will effectively destroy him, thus he can only walk around freely at night. He also has the inability to cross bodies of water by foot, and blessed weapons will greatly hurt him.
Light sensitivity: His eyes, used to the dark of the night, are sensitive to light sources. Anything ranging from an electric torch to a flash bang could very well blind him temporarily.
Likes: Honest people, animals, pretty girls, fierce capable fighters, fighting fierce capable fighters, walking around at night, helping people, listening to music, drinking good drink and eating good food, dancing and celebrations of any kind.
Dislikes: Liars, mages, dishonourable foes, weaklings, unnecessary cruelty, overly hot or cold weather, bright places, the sun, lightly lit places, fire, smoking, boredom, facial moles, sun chips and bugs.
He also hates being treated as a monster or having negative connotations held upon him for his need to feed. Having deep within his heart the wish to live a normal human life, being persecuted for his vampiric nature is something he will never tolerate.
Also, just in pure curiosity, how do RP sessions work? Like, I am a complete virgin noob at this, so like, how do you RP? Is it done via skype or something?
I mean not the usual bloodsucking vampire you'd find in other works. For one, he does not feed by drinking blood, but by eating. (ew hehe) Also he has a wolf thing going on for him, as in while he is not a genuine werewolf, he has an ability to transform into this huge ass humanoid black dog, thanks to the mystic code he worked on in his long life. But he isn't really op, for one he is not a particularly strong DA, the only thing standing out for him is the mystic code that practically raises his STR and AGI for a limited time, at the expense of his sanity for the time being, and the fact he is very very tanky by nature. He is great at melee and hit/run tactics, but has no real way to really handle long range fighting.
You will see the full details once I make the actual sheet.
