First off, what are the bonuses of being a direct descendant of the Devil? Well, how about I go through these with you in:
The Blood of the Devil runs through your veins, and sure, that's cool and sweet and awesome and all, but, erm... just what does it do, exactly? Well, I'll tell you what it does!
Since you have the Blood of the God of all Demon's inside of you, when you activate your Powers, your appearance will change slightly. Your ears will grow and appear pointier, and your canine teeth will seem ever so slightly longer than a normal person's. You also may, or may not, grow a Tail, although Tails are usually only given to males, they can still appear on females. You will be stronger than normal humans, and slightly faster as well, you can see in the dark and your wounds will heal fairly quickly, but more advanced Demons can heal minor wounds almost instantly. Holy Water will suddenly be the Kryptonite to your Superman, the Garlic to your Vampire, your mortal enemy. Although it won't harm you as much as full-blooded Demons, it'll still blind you temporarily, and also revert you to your Human form. Keep in mind, these are the powers you have all the time, even in your normal, Human Form.
Aah, now we're onto the good stuff. When you sign up into the Academy, if you decide to, that is, your Demon Powers will be sealed either inside you, or inside an object. This means that you can only use your powers when you draw the Weapon or when you decide to. Unfortunately, if you have a bout of strong emotion, or somebody else forces you into your Demon Form, you can transform, even without drawing your weapon, consciously unleashing your powers, etc. When you transform, you new form, if any, is completely dependant on your Character, so in OOC Langauge, it's whatever you want it to be, Mr or Mrs Author! So go wild, just not too wild. We don't want any ten story behemoths. Certain Characters are exempt from this rule though, such as the full-demons, and the 'Kings'.
Contrary to popular belief, it's only the lower class Demons that have one Major Ability. Most Demons have none, some have one, but the King Demons and their Higher Class Children can have at least three majors. These can range from flame manipulation, to summoning lesser Demons or Familiars. Go nuts, but I'll tell you if they're too out there or not. Note, these can only be used in your Demon Form.
The majority of these are the same as Primary Powers, you just don't have as much control over them as you do your Primary Powers. You can have a Primary Power as a Secondary Power as well, if you want. The only difference between these and Primary is that these are usable in your Human Form, they're just weaker.
Yes, at one stage or another, your Powers may or may not take control of you, and if they do, a squad will be sent to calm you down. If you aren't working for the Warriors of the Divine Light (WDL), then you're on your own. If you're calmed down, your powers will increase dramatically, or you could easily lose them all. It's a win-lose situation. So be cautious.
Stronger Demons have more than one form, although they're only unlocked when the User has reached a stage where it is absolutely necessary to get stronger, as this transformation carries the same risks as losing control, and sometimes the two are the same. Examples of these Demon Forms will be listed below:
Demon Form: The Basis of all Demon Forms. once you get this form you become much more powerful, and can utilise your abilities with much more skill and expertise.
Advanced Demon Form: An upgraded version of the Demon Form, it grants even better upgrades to it's user.
Neo Demon Form: Neo Demons are among some of the most powerful and dangerous in all of Gehenna. They usually focus on melee and physical combat, but have been known to use spells, although their main focus is physical attacks.
Augar Demon Form: Much like the Neo Demon Form, with the major difference being that they focus on their Magic Abilities instead of their Physical ones, so some of the more powerful witches in existance have gained the blood of an Augar Demon to enhance their already scarily powerful abilities.
Ex-Demon Form: A hybried of Neo and Augar Demons Forms, they combine the powers of both forms for dramatic strength, and are extremely rare, only being created every few hundred years.
Nexus Demon Form: Nexus Demons are rare. Extremely rare, and actually so rare that there hasn't been a Nexus Demon for the last thousand years. The Nexus Demon Form increases the power of the previous Demon Forms, and no matter if you were a Neo Demon, Ex-Demon or an Augar Demon, once you become a Nexus Demon, you're classified as one of the strongest Demons in Gehenna, and the WDL will send out anyone and everyone they can to take you down unless you side with them. Nexus Demons have the increased abilities of the Ex Demons, and have taken them to borderline Mary-Sue levels, although they can't stay in their Nexus Form for too long, otherwise they'll lose all of their powers.
Next up we have a view of each of the current Children, from the view of the WDL. Since they have no idea about, or much information on, the Seven Children, these will be slightly limited in information until further notice.
Name: Deon Morris, but currently under the pseudonym of Hikari Scarlet.
Age: Unknown, but the WDL has been having and recieving sightings of him for a very long time.
Physical Profile: Deon is around 5 foot 7 and weighs around 155 kilo's. He has silver hair that is cut to a medium length, and is apparently a sufferer of Heterochromia iridum, as his eyes have the discolouration aspect, one being blue and the other being gold. He is fairly well-muscled due to his occupation, and is extremely skilled in most forms of combat, although the extent of these abilities are unknown at the time of writing. He is rumored to have a Phoenix tattoo adorning his chest, although these rumors are exactly that, rumors.
Mental Profile: Deon's mental state was unknown, until the WDL forced him into their 'Memory Wipe' program and he was transformed into one Mr. Hikari Scarlet. His mental state is still unknown, but it is assumed the he, like other Phoenikoi, is extremely driven to complete his goals, loyal and defending of his friends and family, and can be prone to fits of anger and paranoia, due to their kind always being hunted by the 'Animalia Sanctaris'.
Type of Demon: Half Phoenikoi. His other half is currently under research.
Demon Category: His Demon is classified in the 'Rogue Demons' category.
Powers and Abilities: The exact extent of his powers is unknwon, but he has been shown to possess strength equivalent to that of a very powerful Oni, and speed that can match the fastest Tengu. Other than that, his powers are unknown, aside from rumors of him summoning spears of light and Demon Servants.
Ranking on the Demon Power Charts: Deon's Rank is Unknown as of now.
Ranking on the WDL's 'Most Wanted' list: He is now ranked 4th.
Fun Facts: + Did you know that, when in the presence of a certain person, Deon can transform himself into a Weapon to help in battles?
- Has a good relationship with the 'Mirage Orchestra'.
+ Did you know that Deon can outdrink many Oni, a feat which has gained him the mock title of 'Drinksecutioner' but many drunkards alike.
