Desmond Ruler
Race: Hirule

Classification: Mage, Alchemist, Tactician

Age: 21 (Total age is nearer to 48, but years on Hydra are different than on Earth)

Position: Physics Professor at Carnes, Council Member (head of the Hirule representatives… mainly name)

Relationships: Married to Kalen Hols

Characteristics and Traits: Brown hair, blue eyes, the air pressure near him changes dependent on his mood

Human Description: Desmond actually does look differently when he’s playing the role of the hapless human. Firstly he makes sure not to show his scars so he usually wears collared suits. He’s almost never seen in anything short of a two piece suit unless training and he always has the same simple gold band on his ring finger… guess why… He also where’s a set of very stylish rectangular frame glasses that have simple silver frames and gold embellishment on the side. The underside, however, are not so plane as they are etched with a series of runes that help to catch his massive aura and keep him under the radar. Humans are able to feel his presence in a way and can always tell what kind of mood he is in or if he is nearby… Monsters even more so…

His typical suit consists of a white pair of slacks, a white dinner jacket, a silver vest with a hint of blue and a golden pocket watch tucked away, and a blue neck tie with a perfect knot. He also caps it off with a white Fedora that has a blue band adorning it. Most would say this is a very boring look and wouldn’t go for it on most people but he manages to pull it off quite well and is very handsome. But he does look slightly older and is clearly not a high school student. He wears old-spice classic aftershave, partly because he likes it, partly because Kalen likes it, and partly because it keep the female vampires from trying to sneak a nibble. (Hirule blood is like red bull compared to human, gives a hell of a kick but not the best taste.)The only other thing he wears are his silver bracers under his jacket and long sleeves that can be formed into his blades or alchemic seals that can be thrown.

Monster Form: His body doesn’t really shift; the main change is in the atmosphere around him. If he’s about to get in a fight everyone in a three mile radius knows it. His Aura got supercharged by the gate and being a Hierarch (an evolved Hirule) his power is greater and unrestrained. His aura is not only large but very thick, arcing energy from him to nearby conductive materials and darkening the sky around him as the atmosphere responds to the foreign energy. His eyes turn golden and shine brightly, with a blue aura leaking from them like fire. Usually the wind picks up all around him but the thing most notice is he stops touching the ground. The aura rushing from the soles of his feet actually break apart the earth beneath him and scatter it to the sides as he stands seemingly slightly hovering above the ground.

All and all, he isn’t as intimidating as some massive titan or a 12 foot tall Wolf to a human, but to a monster who can see his huge aura, he’s not the most pleasant sight. His aura is a pulsing Blue or deep gold depending on his state of mind.

Powers: Basic Healing Magic, Advanced Combat Magic, Gravity Manipulation, Portal Creation, Advanced Senses (able to read auras and feel approaching power to read the tide of battle), Experience Swordsman

Weaknesses: If pressed I’d say it’s his personality that is his weakness, he never fights to save himself… not at full power… he only seems to fight at his best in defense of others. He is only about 1.5 times stronger than a human, so most monsters can overpower him physically (if they can outsmart him). He has several other weaknesses but I won’t tell you those, you’ll have to find them out for yourself (I will be leaving you guys hints in the combat texts, so if you’re paying attention you should be ready to fight him)

Race information: Hirules are a strange group of beings from a different world than Earth, however their power is classified as the same as mages and witches. They have massive aura’s that if left unchecked can cause atmospheric disturbances over large areas (they are not necessarily more powerful than other magic users, their auras just have a greater effect on the world as they are unnatural.)
Hirule magic is new to this world, only about as old as the Gate itself (the sphinx and pyramids) and thus most ancient magic from pre-history do not account for the magic of Hirules which remains unaffected by the ancient powers. This was shown when the group attempted to revive Desmond using an ancient and powerful well that could supposedly grant any wish but due to the well predating the Hirule it could not bring him back.

The Hirule race is still a mystery to most other races but they are not well liked due to the vast majority being “human lovers” and desiring to reveal magic to humanity to better the world. Also, a human should never put on a Hirule’s ring… doing so will change them into a Hirule and transport a small local area across the gate (Desmond had been given a large reserve of extra power to fix the Gate when he crossed, but Kalen putting on the ring released it an transported a much larger area across the Gate… as well as dissipating the extra power)
