Murmur Burns is a slender young man with a pale complexion and facial features that are much more soft and delicate than anything. His hair is thick and blue in color, with the tips of his hair fading. His eyes are red, contrasting with his hair and are surrounded by long eyelashes. His fringe if kept long to help hide the color of his eyes, or of anything, to draw focus away from them. Murmur is rather tall, standing at 179cm, or roughly 5'10". His limbs and fingers are long, and while his body isn't very muscular, he isn't skeletal either. On his hand is a strange marking, reminiscent of a tattoo. He isn't one to turn heads easily, and tends to simply blend into the background.


This Crimson Blade member isn't much of a socialite, nor does he come off as inherently evil to begin with. He isn't one for worthless small talk, in fact, he will rarely talk without a motive behind it. Murmur is the type that always plans ahead, and is always working towards a certain outcome. He prefers to stick to the background, using a facade of being quiet and polite, even kind. He uses a variety of manipulation methods to achieve his goals. He can play the powerful dependent, acting weak and dependent to send messages of “you must not let me down.” to others. He will promise things that he cannot, and will not, grant to others. The use of threats is also a common leverage, but above all he uses his false kindness and concern to get people to trust him.

Even to the rest of the people in Crimson Blade his true intentions are unknown, but his actions display that he has an agenda of his own. While he is useful to the guild, he seems withdrawn among the members, and doesn't typically approach others. He often doesn't make himself seen, leaving newer members ignorant to his very existence in the guild. However, major occurrences seems to be connected to him in some way, causing a few members of the guild to be suspicious of his involvement.

Murmur is both obsessive and possessive. He isn't against taking control of other people, and uses them without guilt. The people he has 'claimed as his own' have been manipulated into being under his control in one way or another. The man monitors them and will go to extreme lengths to keep them in check. Along with this he keeps track of all their information using Archive magic, and with that being said, he knows a lot. When acted against or betrayed he can become violent. He hates it when people he possess act on their own, or to hide things from him. He's sure to remind them of where they stand, and his power over them. When they act in a way that pleases him, they are often treated gently, more like pets than anything. Along with this, he loathes people trying to meddle with what is 'his', and is protective of them in his own insane, psychopathic way.

While for the most part he is calm and collected, he is essentially a paranoid person. He thirsts for power due his fundamental fear of not being in control. He doesn't like being in the dark about thing, and the idea of not knowing something can upset the balance. Certain actions and words can trigger certain emotions, most commonly, anger and rage. If you can one-up him, causing him to feel helpless can help cloud his judgement. Murmur lacks morals, and finds that the end justifies the means. He isn't bothered by sacrifice, and doesn't dwell on preserving life of others. However, he isn't quick to discard people, even if they start to lose their usefulness.

On the outside, he seems like the last person who would be in a dark guild. He'll treat people kindly and act friendly, considerate and merciful. He's the type of person that would help someone get back on their feet, only to trap them in a situation where they cannot escape him. He seems to have a light sense of humor in this state, though it turns into something dark when his true personality is shown. Regardless if he's under the facade of being kind or not, he's a person who's rather superstitious, and believes in luck. Depending on how lucky he feels can fuel his actions, be it more arrogant or cautious. In which, knowing his 'unlucky days' can give an opponent an advantage, as he is not beyond being manipulated himself.

Etteilla's Tarot : A deck of 78 cards, made up of the major arcana and the minor arcana suits; swords, wands, cups and pentacles. The deck was created by a powerful, dark mage known as Etteilla. As it's wielders die, the deck seeks out a master on it's own. To be frank, the owners of the deck don't seem to live very long, and often vanish after a few years. It's been said that the magic deck is a separate entity of it's own, having only chosen to be used by a select few mages over several years, for it's own purposes. The cards take up a separate space, and the cards have to be summoned one at a time, a process akin to drawing. The effects of the cards vary, depending on the arcana drawn. The more powerful the mage, the more cards they can draw. Along with this, the more powerful the card, the more energy it takes out of the wielder. In addition, prolonged usage of the deck effects the user, which also depends on the types of cards that are drawn. For example, multiple draws of the arcana The Moon can drive the wielder to madness, while draws of The Wheel of Fortune will affect the severity of their luck. Because his force of offensive magic is random, relying on chance, every card he draws during the roleplay will be decided via random generator, while keeping the current situation in mind. (As, it wouldn't be very fun if he managed to draw The Fool or The World first thing.) Along with this, currently he can only draw three cards per fight. Because of the nature of this magic, it is impossible to completely copy it using copy magic. However, effects and abilities given by the the Minor Arcana can be mimicked to so point.

The Chariot: The Chariot arcana summons the Sword of Krishna, a powerful magic broad sword that bestows great physical power to the user. Multiple draws of this card upsets the users emotional balance.

Wheel of Fortune: The Wheel of Fortune can effect both the opponent and user positively or negatively. The card summons a wheel which has engravings of the roman numerals one through eight. I allows the user to escape through teleport, but the corresponding numeral VIII allows the opponent to escape through teleport. II breaks a random limb of the opponent, while VII breaks a random limb of the user. III heals the opponent, and VI heals the user.

The Moon: The Moon arcana allows the deck holder to use illusion magic. Simple enough, this card can bring forth anything from an illusionary castle, or cause the opponent to see things that aren't there. This can range from seeing their allies as aggressive monsters, to seeing themselves as perfectly healthy when they are very much battered and bruised. Drawing of this card causes the user to lose sanity.

The Sun: The Sun arcana allows the user to exploit their opponents emotional weakness by giving them empathetic awareness and insight into their opponents past and psyche. Multiple draws of this card lessens the users empathy and understanding.

Judgement: The Judgement arcana allows the user to unleash great magic and physical power, but in doing so sacrifices stamina and defense. It's more of a finishing blow, as the user cannot do much of anything afterwards. Draws of this card increases the users paranoia.

The World: The World arcana allows the user to use all types of elemental magic, in more of a moderate or basic manner. When this card if drawn no other arcana cards can be drawn afterwards. Drawing this card installs a chaotic nature into the user.

Archive : Murmur uses archive as a way to store vast amounts of information, mostly on people. He often spends a lot of time digging around to learn more about people, to the point where he's obsessive about it. Along with this he uses archive as a way to communicate with people, usually those he has working for him as he often won't use it during battle. He can use it to transfer data to others, though the ability isn't used very often. However, archive is his most stable skill. It is the first type of magic he had tried to learn, as it's ability to keep information appealed to him.

Concealment : This is usually used as a way to hide objects and such, opposed to trapping people, though the action isn't exactly rare. Murmur is also able to use the ability on himself, to conceal his presence from others. When it is used in battle, it is either used in a way to trap people in a different dimension to prevent them from escaping, or as a way to allow him to escape.
