Description:
Demons are considered to be universally associated with evil, corruption, and degeneracy, a fact that, in Earthland, was born out of prejudice against their kind based on the great atrocities that occurred thousands upon thousands of years ago, when neither humans nor demons had yet found their equilibrium. Humans and demons fought many battles, and both suffered immensely at the hands of the other in a series of conflicts that spanned the entirety of the still undeveloped world, when grand magic of old would still permeate all things from within the very earth itself. The art of spellcrafting had still been young, and many a battle was dominated by the forces of demonkind, who had at their disposal the powers of curses at their disposal.

One man, however, sought to change that fact. He had lost both his parents and all of his siblings to the grueling conflicts between the two races at an early age, and ever since then had single-mindedly and unerringly strived for absolute revenge, his desire to make those suffer who had caused him such agony overshadowing every other aspect of his being, and in the end, even his humanity, something that humans, in contrast to demons, held so very dear. He would seek out and battle demons before, in a gruesome display that frightened even his fellow demon-hunters, consuming the hearts of slain demons to absorb their powers. Indeed, this act of perversion against nature would poison the man with his very own curse, something that granted him immense power by allowing him to control the elemental aspects of inferno, a deep and corrosive darkness as well as the scorching flames of hell, but in return greatly reduced his life span and caused him nigh unbearable suffering at almost all times. Still, his determination to have his revenge and his hatred of those he hunted pushed him forward and with his curse, he would go on to hunt down and destroy demons at an astonishing rate, turning the tide of many a battle, this fact eventually turning him into a legend among all those that similarly had been wronged by demonkind. To others, however, he had become not much different than the same demons he so deeply despised.

In the end, however, the curse would claim him long before he had gotten even close to fulfilling his dreams, the burden he had brought upon himself forming the basis of his untimely demise, and only in his final moments would he realize that the path he had walked had changed nothing, had brought him nothing but pain. With regret over his life and actions, he finally died. The power he had gained, however, would live on in his descendants, the curse that longed for the destruction of demonkind continuing to exist through the ages.

Abilities:

Unholy Carnage
The curse that befell the man, who would in later years become known as the "Devourer of Demons" based on his habits, is still felt with his descendants to this day, although its effects are not quite as severe. The curse, at most, causes discomfort to the user when and does not eat away from their life force without the user actively overexerting this curse, existing with its user in a somewhat symbiotic relationship of sorts. The user gains access to a new type of magic called "Maledict", which may be used in the creation of their magic applications. Magic of the "Maledict" type can utilize both "Caster" type spells as well as "Take-Over" type spells, though all Take-Over spells used in a magic containing the "Maledict" magic type must be based on Demons or a demonic aspect. The benefit levels for magic belonging to the "Maledict" magic type can be found below:

• Solitary: +100% to Spell Damage. Character can use up to 5 Partial Take-Over spells to form a Full Take-Over in the associated magic.
  
• Primary: +75% to Spell Damage. Character can use up to 5 Partial Take-Over spells to form a Full Take-Over in the associated magic.
  
• Auxiliary: +50% to Spell Damage. Character can use up to 5 Partial Take-Over spells to form a Full Take-Over in the associated magic.
  

Primal Inferno
The unconditional hatred for demonkind that was so prevalent among humans a long time ago has long since faded, though prejudice and division between the two races still exist today. Still, what has birthed the curse that afflicted the original wielder of these powers was originally blind hatred of all things demonic, and so, instinctively, the maledict will seek to fulfill its purpose, strengthening the user with might to overthrow demonkind wherever it may arise. The user gains access to two additional Signature Spell slots in every "Maledict" type magic they possess (Ranking with the user up to S). Further, the user also gains access to three additional Advanced Spell slots (One ranking with the user up to H+, while the other two rank with the user up to S+) in every magic containing the "Maledict" magic type they possess. If these spell slots are used to create a Take-Over spell, the Take-Over in question receives an additional ability equal to the rank of the spell.

Accursed Flesh
The curse that afflicted the man so determined to eradicate demonkind changed the man's body, the demonic flesh he consumed changing his own flesh to more closely resemble that of those which he hated so much. The user's base HP is increased by 100% and they gain a 50% increase to their Damage Resistance. Further, the user may choose to gain either:

• 1) a 50% increase to base Spell Range, baseSpell Speed, and base Spell Damage.
  
• 2) a 50% increase to base Technique Range, base Technique Speed, and base Strength.
  

Increase Chosen: [Specify either 1) or 2) depending on the increase you wish to obtain]

Rage of the Maledict
The original curse was an unholy tool developed for a single-minded, corrupted purpose that represented the goals of its user: To destroy demons. The user, within a certain capacity, has inherited this potential to destroy the demonic. All of the user's magics are classed as magics belonging to the "Demon Slayer" magic type in addition to their original magic types. This ability grants the user the stat benefits of a Demon Slayer with every magic as well as double damage against demonic, undead, and unholy opponents. If the magic in question is already a Slayer magic it is instead classed as a Hybrid Slayer of its original type (e.g. Fire Dragon Slayer becomes Fire Hybrid Slayer, commanding both the neutral and holy version of their element). Additionally, the user may use either elemental Darkness or elemental Fire as basis for their spells, no matter the magic they are used in (cosmetic only), and also gains the benefit of enhanced senses. They do not, however, gain any kind of damage resistances, the ability to consume elements of their respective magics in any way, or the ability to enter force normally associated with Slayer Magics.

Hunter's Vengeance
The curse placed upon the devourer of demons was originally a maledict that drained away the life force of its user in exchange for indomitable power that far surpassed that of regular magic. While this is no longer a requirement to wield this curse, the man's descendants, in exchange for their own life force, can still invoke the full power of the curse. The user may, at will, enter a state referred to as "Awakened Maledict", provided they have at least 50% of their max HP remaining. While in the "Awakened Maledict" state, tribal-like markings will begin to manifest on the user's body in an intricate and esoteric pattern while the curse placed upon their bloodline by their ancestor is invoked. In this state, the user loses 5% of their max HP every post "Awakened Maledict" is active. While "Awakened Maledict" is active, the user cannot regain or regenerate their HP in any way, even if healed by a being other than themselves. Similarly, HP sacrificed to the "Awakened Maledict" state cannot be regained while the "Awakened Maledict" state remains active, and HP sacrificed to the "Awakened Maledict" state cannot be regained for a duration of 5 posts from the moment the "Awakened Maledict" is ended or cancelled. While "Awakened Maledict" is active either the user's base Strength or base Spell Damage is increased by 100%. The user must pick which is increased once activating "Awakened Maledict" and cannot change it as long as this ability remains active. "Awakened Maledict" may be cancelled at the user's desire or is automatically cancelled when the user's HP falls to or below 10% of their max HP.
