Magic
Primary Magic: Celestial Reaper
Secondary Magic:
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description: Despite the name of the magic, it’s not as bad as one would think. Roku’s entire magic in it’s core substance is based around the summoning of celestial spirits, but there exists a difference between normal summoners and Roku. Roku believes that if he’s summoning something, they listen to him. There is no making a contract, and setting condition as to when he can summon them. Because of his mindset, his summoning a spirit corrupts it immediately, leaving them in one way or another somewhat corrupt or twisted.
Roku uses his magic in a simple manner really. From either summoning the spirits to be in/effective meat shields to summoning them to swarm, or overpower his foe. Roku uses them in the somewhat of a manner that causes many other summoners much rage, but deep down Roku doesn’t care.

Wielder: Roku
Description: In another World, Roku like his sister was chosen as what was called an aspect. Deeper into it, he was the Aspect of Vulcan among their society. Now, this tid bit of information isn’t as important as to what happened in his past. Where Roku comes from, people able to use magics from just their bodies are few and in between. Since Roku isn’t a Gary Stu, he wasn’t born with the ability to use magic without a weapon medium. There existed a group of people that had existed for a long time that had wanted to change the way the world worked, mostly by increasing the number of warlock types there were in the world. After many years, they did come to a possible solution to their goal. The idea of taking a bearer to turn them into a warlock was considered impossible, and frowned on to attempt, but that didn’t stop these people. In the process of coming up with a way to do this, many children died as they were the main test subjects.
When it came time for them to try with Roku, something was different with how they decided to move on with the project. Instead of forcing magic into his core, they took a shard that was found decades ago and implanted into Roku’s body. With the body healed, they put him into a room of other people that had been experimented on and had yet to show signs of dying, or going crazy. There was a sharp pain in his chest. It was like there was something burning inside of him. A voice, something was inside of him, and it sounded like it was angry. The anger to him was so intense that it caused Roku to punch a wall. After this, Roku doesn’t remember anything until later the until later he was shielding a young, white-haired girl from being buried under the rubble of the burning building. Soon after they were rescued, Roku was asked his name, and he couldn’t answer them because he didn’t know himself.
From there, he and the girl were taken into an orphanage and given names. For years, Roku trained with several types of weapons till he finally settled into a form with a few select styles. Throughout this time, he had several more rage blackouts but never were they as serious as what happened in the old place. At the age of 18, Roku entered the tournament of Vulcan. Vulcan was one of the recognized gods of the land, and those who won became aspects of them till they passed away, then a new tournament was held. Roku won this, and gratefully without losing control of his rage in the middle of the fight.
It was that night that it all changed with Roku. As per the usual, Vulcan gifted his new aspect with the gift of fire. While not making a bearer a warlock as many believed, he would give them somewhat of a fiery aura, and bestow them with a chosen tool. What was not expected was Vulcan’s gift interacting with what was within Roku already. The soul of the goddess that was sealed into the weapon that had now bonded itself with Roku lashed out as Roku’s body twisted and contorted in his sleep. An armor alien to him formed from fire and earth on him, and a helmet of what resembled bone grew over his face before the fire took up to rise up in flames across his skin upward. The armor settled across his body, leaving it to look like scorched metal. Several slots across it let out a golden light as it seemed as though flames filled the inside of the armor. He walked out of his tent that night as the screams of rage filled his ears. It guided him somewhat. His hand went down and touched the ground before a hatchet like axe rose up and fit into the palm of his hand. It was almost natural in his grip. That night he moved through the town, and section by section, he murdered everyone and lit the town ablaze. Thus is the curse Roku holds. For when the rage of battles enters him, he becomes something that is considered a beast in combat if he loses himself.
Ability:
Gift of Vulcan: Vulcan is the god of the forge, fire and earth, as such when he chooses one as his aspect, they gain an ability that allows with just a display that they’re one of the chosen ones. This ability allows Roku to have an extra Signature spell that ranks up to S along with his normal one that has to be fire based.
Curse of Terra: The curse of Terra is in reference to the form he takes when the Rage of battle bottles up into him, then erupts like a volcano that changes their body. When in this form Roku gains a new pool of HP that replaces his other. This pool is twice what his HP is normally. While in this form all spells that he'd use would draw from his HP instead. In addition, to this, his strength is increased by 50% while in this. This form can be triggered when Roku is in combat for more than 5 posts consecutively or is forced to endure intense emotional distress or anger. This form there in lasts until Roku's Hp drops to 0, or the battle ends. Afterwards, the form can't be triggered again for 10 posts. The drawback to this form other than the fact that all spells come from his pool of HP is that he no longer cares if his allies are around. While yes he can tell who are allies and enemies, he doesn't care if they're caught in the blast radius and such. This form can only be taken up to 3 times per thread.- appearance:
Axe of Slaughter: While in his cursed form, Roku lacks the ability to use Velis, as it rejects him. This would normally seal him from using his magic. Terra, the evil tyrannical goddess that resides in him didn't quite agree with that. While in his cursed state, Roku has access to a special weapon called the Terra's Bane. This weapon is only usable in this state, and as such doesn't count towards any of his equipment counts. In addition to this, Roku is able to use his magic with this as if it was Velis Voluuk.
The Art of War: When one thinks about war, they think of the warriors that fight in the war. The feats that they accomplish, never the feats thanks to the weapons that were accomplished. As such, for Roku, he understands the weapon bit better. This is mostly from his being blessed by Vulcan, but also the way he was brought up. There was always death around him, and others. When Roku uses any style of weapon, he always aims for an area that will do the most damage. Thus this ability allows him to double the melee damage he does, since he isn't hitting to disable, but to win.
Usage:
The Art of War and Gift of Vulcan are passives
Axe of Slaughter is triggered upon Curse of Terra triggering.
Curse of Terra can be triggered after 5 posts of straight combat.
- Celestial Reaping: When Roku acquires a new Celestial Ally, he doesn't make a contract with them. But a bond to Roku and his actual soul rather than a contract tying a spirit to an owner. This bond can only be broken by the death of the Celestial Mage involved. This causes the Spirits to take on a twisted burning version of their normal forms. Often times much larger in scale. The advantage of Celestial Reaping is that one Celestial Spirit can always be summoned during battle with no duration or cooldown. Tied to Roku's own HP. The disadvantage is Roku can only have one Celestial Spirit or Summon of any kind out on the field. Roku also cannot have a pet. Even normal dogs and cats just won't take to him for some reason. Perhaps a strange side effect of his magic.
- Pain makes them stronger: As Roku takes damage, his rage begins to boil more. Roku’s rage is the key to his fighting. The more it boils, the stronger he and any of his other spirits get. As such for every 10HP Roku were to lose would he would gain a 5% boost to his damage, and this passes onto whatever spirit is summoned as well,
- Form of the Corrupted; Being as Roku has a deeper connection to his spirits many others due to the fact that they are tied directly to his soul, he has some interesting reactions when they are summoned. Where they go from their normal appearance to a corrupt, rage filled beast, for Roku he gains traits similar to them. Depending on the spirit, it can provide either a small ability or a minor stat boost. They will also bestow a bit of an appearance change. Nothing to change his overall body mass, or shape, but again, small things.
- Celestial Force: Due to the forced bondage or servitude to Roku, Celestial Spirits have been transformed by Roku’s branch of magic from their once peaceful and aloof selves into monstrosities fueled by their owner’s unbridled rage and peerless violence. This transformation filled with rage and corruption causes the spirits to receive twenty-five percent less damage from magical and physical sources and reduces the effectiveness of blinds and slows by the same amount. This unique ability, when activated, allows a single Celestial Spirit to break through a single spell equal to Roku’s rank. This showcases the true brutality of Roku’s magic and how far the Celestial Spirits have fallen into the pits of madness and violence. This portion of the unique ability has a cooldown of five posts, and this cooldown is shared by all of Roku’s Celestial Spirits regardless if they have been recalled or not.
