appearance
"I have more then one face, more then one mind. Pray you never meet the others......."

(Art by me! One of the few good ones I have sadly)[/center]

Deus is by no means normal in appearance. With his impressive stature of eight feet, he towers over most of the denizens of the known world with ease. And his strange apperance does nothing to distract wandering eyes. Calf length silver hair and amber eyes are quite alien, even in this world where the strange is slightly commonplace.

Deus, having no other clothing is always wearing the same worn-out clothing He wears a heavily worn-out pair of black fading jeans. A modified trench-coat covers most of Deus, the sleeves having been removed for mobility. The Inhibitors themselves are a deep Gun-metal silver in color, becoming almost pure silver when reflecting light. The arm gauntlets cover his entire fore-arm, and hands in a strange and alien metal, while the boots cover the lower legs and feet. His upper torso and upper arms are usually wrapped up in bandages to hide his scars. Attached to his belt are a few small pouches, containing leaves, nuts, and seeds of plants and herbs.

personality
"Don't judge me, don't you dare judge me!"

Even though at a glance Deus seems like a towering stoic giant, in truth he is kind and caring person. If he were to make a friend, he would do everything within his capabilities to keep them safe, and happy. However because of the mental trauma of his past and his other persona, he has a cautious nature. This in itself, and his bad history make it hard for him to come out of his impassive and somewhat callous shell that he created to protect himself. Unless he trusts the person he is usually quiet, and observing. The one thing that makes Deus very cold or enraged is two subjects; his sister, and the ones who killed his parents.

However Deus suffers from having more then one personality in his mind. For Deus he has two, Disgaia and The Beast. Disgaia is nothing more then a murderous maniac, violence and decadence excite and motivate this monster into what he does. This monster lives for the suffering of others, and delights in the fact that Deus hates what he does. The one thing Disgaia loves more then causing others trauma is doing it to Deus, and even though it causes Deus pain when he is in control this in itself is not enough. When in control he attacks anything and anyone Deus cherishes, simply to make the man hate himself more. When he recedes back into Deus's mind, he torments him with whispers and haunts his dreams with horrors.

The Other personality is known as The Beast. Formed from the damage that Disgaia inflicted upon Deus's mind and the ever evolving demon blood within him. The Beast is simply an animal a primal being of primitive action. It is just as dangerous, if not more so then Disgaia but it does not have malicious intent. The Beast lashes out at anyone that is not known to Deus, perceiving them as a threat. However when in the presence of an ally The Beast is like a massive puppy, obeying commands and highly protective of members of it's "pack".

Abilities & Weaknesses
"Fine, I'll show you what this demon can really do!"

Powers/Abilities
(Category: Elemental/Demonic)

• Demonic Aura: Being a half-demon by heritage gives him some of the powers and weaknesses of demon blood, one of them being a aura of power. Most living things give off a aura of power, but usually it is too faint to be noticed or useful. Demons however have a very powerful aura. It was their way of telling who was stronger. Demonic auras also can be used to intimidate people, flooding an area with a demonic aura can make living things with intelligence, either fearful, bloodthirsty, or excited. And plants can either flourish or wither from the energy of these aura's if they are strong enough. People that are sensitive to Aura's can be easily sickened by the sheer nature of a Demon Aura if they have never encountered one before. Deus and his two other persona's can manipulate their own auras to cover up to a forty foot area, Aura's are naturally invisible to the naked eye, but when Deus is using enough power, or struggling to control his powers or himself, his aura's become saturated with it, and become visible. Deus has different aura's do to his Demonic blood, and the other persona within his mind.
  
  Yellow: Deus's standard aura, Deus's aura causes plants to flourish and become more lively. Normally Deus's aura is calming and serene, or if he's excited, his aura can cause others to become excited as well. He can also incite fear into those around him with it as his anger rises.
  
  Red: Disgaia's aura, Disgaia's aura causes plants within immediate proximity to wither and die as if struck by months of drought. Fear, Blood-lust, and excitement are influenced by the aura that Disgaia exhumes
  
  Black: The Beast's aura. The Beast's aura is strangely neutral to plant-life, as well as others when The Beast is not attacking. Although when it is on the rampage fear is the only emotion that this aura exhumes.
  
  
• Terran Energy: Also known as True Geomancy. Terran energy is a force flows through the earth. It is a force that has been used many times by people in the past with the ability to use Geomancy. Terran energy is a force that flows through all known forms of earthen mineral (IE; Rocks and metals). True Geomancy is the ability to command the force of both Metal and Earth. Because of the demonic blood of his father, Deus's natural ability to do this was increased dramatically. Deus is capable of Reducing metal and earth alike to a basic form of molecular dust, and put it back together, or make it better then it was before. Not only this, but with this power Deus can saturate earth with this power to either enrich it, or bar it to the point of instantaneous effects (Plants growing or withering) But because of this dramatic increase in power, Deus's body naturally draws and stores this energy in his body. This causes many problems for Deus.
  
  
• Demonic Blood: Deus is Half-demon, resulting in some Augmentations to his abilities compared to an average human;
  
  Strength: able to lift a maximum of 1/2 a tonne (1000 lbs) over his head, and lift off the ground 3 tonnes
  Enduring: able to stay active for much longer under much more strenuous situations
  Sent: able to detect and differentiate sent like that of a dog
  Hearing: slightly above average hearing, able to hear those talking in whispers at fifteen feet away.
  
  Deus also has a high physical healing rate. allowing him to heal physical wounds within seconds to weeks (depending upon Severity. For example small cuts and abrasions will heal in no time, but broken bones will take days to weeks depending on the size of the bone broken). Demonic blood, when consumed can also transfer the healing powers and strengths it contains to the consumer temporarily, however it is also a potent addictive substance. The effects of the blood can last up to an hour at most, but a whole pint must be consumed for this length
  
  
• Metal Body: With his power and demonic abilities, Deus keeps a large supply of metal inside of his own body, coating his bones with the semi-liquid material. Not only does it make him much more solid, but in times of need Deus has metal to call upon.
  
  Personal Strengths: Deus has a very extensive knowledge of herbalism, botany, and mineral compounds.
  
  Equipment:
  
  • Inhibitors: The Inhibitors may appear bulky and useless, but they are what keep Deus alive and in control. They are the four metallic armor pieces (two fore-arm gauntlets and two lower-leg armored boots). These are made of a alien super-metal, found in a meteorite. The metal has the unique property of absorbing Terran Energy harmlessly, and converting it to a useable power current if proper couplings are hooked up to the diodes that petrude from the inhibitors (two on each inhibitor). With these on, Deus's body is slowly drained of the Terran energy that he produces to a much safer level. These devices also limit how much Deus can use for combat. In a mathematical term, with all four of the Inhibitors on, Deus's Terran energy ratio is reduce to one eighth of what it could be with them off. They do however have weaknesses (listed under Weaknesses)
    
    
  • Herb Bags: In several bags that Deus carries with him are seeds, leaves, and cuttings of various herbs both mundane and exotic. With his collection he can heal others of ailments and soothe wounds. He has no use for them of himself due to his demonic physiology.
    
  
  Weaknesses/Physical Flaws/Psychological Flaws:
  
  • Depths of Water: Deus has made a habit of storing metal in his body because of his healing abilities, but because of this he quite literally, sinks like a rock. Making him completely unable to swim in any depth. And even if he were to abandon the metal that is saturated throughout his body, he is still incapable of swimming.
    
    
  • Electricity: Deus has increased the metals within his body, so as to draw upon them in case of emergency, but this has created the drawback of not only being a living lightning rod, but also being extremely susceptible to electricity. Even without the metal Deus is still weak to electricity thanks to his heritage, although not to such a degree as he is with the metal in him
    
    
  • Sonics: Deus has slightly advanced hearing, allowing him to hear things better then a normal man. But this comes with the price that extremely loud noises, and even sounds on frequencies that normal men can not hear cause him varying levels of pain. From mild annoyance to crippling agony depending of frequency and volume.
    
    
  • Aura's: Because Deus lets off aura's, a machine built for, or anyone trained to track them could find Deus. These also can manifest into physical light, making Deus a beacon of demonic energy, but letting those know what kind of mental state Deus is in;
    
    Yellow: Deus is suffering from no attempt at Possession, however he is storing or using more energy then he should
    
    Red: Deus's mind has shifted to Disgaia
    
    Black: Deus's mind has shifted to The Beast.
    
    Clashing colors: Depending upon the colors that are clashing, Deus's mind is in the process of shifting to one of his other personalities.
    
    
  • Inhibitors: Deus depends on these to live and to control his powers effectively, if they are all removed, Deus would die of Energy overload and explode over the course of five hours with at his current strength. Depending on how many are removed, Deus can not control his powers well, if at all. If three are removed, Deus can no longer stop his power, it leaps out of his body either strengthening or destroying any rock or metal that it touches. With only two on Deus can keep his powers in check as long as he doesn't use them. If only one is removed, Deus will loose control of his powers if he uses too much.
    
    
  • Emotions: Because of the trauma he has gone through, plus his nature, instead of becoming cold or dark, he is instead ruled by his emotions, not only does it make keeping his powers under control hard under emotional stress, but it also makes his mental shielding against possession by the other persona in him weakened.
    
    
  • Persona: What most would think from a casual glance, is that Deus seems to be suffering from some kind of psychosis. However this is not the case. Because of his demonic blood, couple with the trauma and treatment within his past. Full blown persona's that are effectively separate entities now exist within the mind of the tall silver haired man. These other persona within Deus's mind are aware of each other, even Deus is aware of the two other minds that reside within his own. All three believe that The Beast and Disgaia are shards of Deus's true demon self, that can and do posses him and take control.
    
    Disgaia; Deus's eyes harden to that of a psychopath, and a insane grin is plastered across his face. Disgaia loves nothing more then to cause others misery. Be it through torture, destruction of anything near him, or simply murdering people for a laugh. When Disgaia is on the war-path, your least concern is property damage. Disgaia haunts Deus's dreams with revels of carnage, and killing those close to Deus.
    
    The Beast; Unlike Deus and his other persona, The Beast did not form from the trauma of his past. It formed from all the psychological torture that Disgaia has caused Deus. The Beast is a super-persona. When it emerges, it converts all nearby stone or metal into a new body, surrounding Deus's own. forming into a simple humanoid-like body, large horns form from the fore-head extending backward, his hair formed into a hedge-hog like spine-back The arms and legs elongate and end with large sharp claws. Large fangs have replaced the regular jaw, and the eyes glow pitch black. The Beast is best described as a animal. It is loyal to those that Deus considers friends, but lashes out at anyone else with the ferocity of a monster
    
    
  • Mental Pressure: The mental strain of keeping his powers withing manageable control, and the near-constant psychological torture of his occupant Deus is slightly unstable, and easily subject to mental attacks (supernatural or not).
    
  
  
  
  history
  "My past...... Is nothing but anguish, please do not ask me about it......."
  
  
  Some could call Deus lucky to have the power that he has.
  
  Some could out-right call him a GOD with the power he is capable of unleashing
  
  Deus thinks of it more as a curse.
  
  Second born of two sides, his mother of light, and his father of darkness. Deus was a rare thing of this world, a child born from true love. His mother, a strong woman capable of manipulating metal to her advantage, and his father, a dark demon, who's power to command the very earth, could shake cities to their foundations. As soon as they had met, the fell in love.
  
  The two raised him in a loving environment, teaching him everything that they knew. Hoping the best for their son and his life. Over time his powers slowly developed, he could lift small rocks and pebbles, bend weak metals, and control loose earth and sand. His parents seemed proud that he had inherited both of their greatest strengths. But they grew slightly worried about what Deus would become with the powers he displayed, or how much of their power he had inherited. But those worries were quickly banished whenever Anita, Deus's older sister was with him.
  
  Deus's sister was his world to him. She was the only one that thought of him as normal. And for that he loved her with all that he could, and did everything to make her happy. She thought it to be cute that her little brother loved her so much. But fate had other plans for Deus and Anita.
  
  And that fate evolved into first tragedy.
  
  On his tenth birthday, Deus was worried about his sister, for she was late to the event that they had been both looking forward too. But his parents convinced him to continue on with the celebration. As he blew out the candles of the cake, is when it happened. The air was filled with shattering glass as multiple men and women, donned in black urban combat armor burst through the windows. These armed and armored men and woman all had the same tag on their chests, DMT. One man calmly marched through the door, as the rest of the armed people had their weapons leveled at the small family. With a wiked grin the man pointed at Deus. One of the armed men came forwards to try and take Deus. It was then that both his parents jumped from their seats and took action, his father attempted to defeat the intruders while his mother shielded Deus, but it was all ended quickly, The small battle forces weapons were to much for even his full demon father, and his mothers powers were useless against their weapons. Deus was in shock, paralyzed in fear as he stare broken at his dead parents. As the main man closed in on Deus, is when his sister arrived, With a quick shout she leaped forwards to shield her own brother, but she too was brought down with a single round, courtesy of the man that had come for him As her body collapsed before Deus, he quickly became hysterical. Telling her that she would be okay, that everything would be okay. But she rested a finger on his lips as she whispered with her last breaths. "Deus promise me…that you won’t forget us…. And remember..... Your my brother.... You'll always be my brother, no matter what.....” It was these deaths that induced so much trauma, so much pain and anguish upon such a young mind, that it forced a sudden and catastrophic evolution of the powers granted to him by his parents. It was to much for Deus to handle, he lost control and lashed out at the world. His body nothing more then a glowing torrent of power as he blacked out.
  
  As the Dawn of the next day broke, Deus awoke with a daze, but the events of yesterday came flooding back to him. He looked around him, at what used to his home, his town. Nothing was spared the wrath of his powers, not even rubble was present in the crater that took up the spot of his old home. It was like an Armageddon had come and gone, only taking this small town in it's wake. This was where Deus decided to run, run and hide from everything, so that he would never do this kind of destruction again. He fled from what he would, and the news would call The Ragnarök Crater. The trauma from this tragedy slowly began the forming of a second persona, deep within the mind of Deus.
  
  Deus never stayed in one place longer then needed, he was always on the move. And over the course of four years, the only way one could recognize Deus now from his younger days, was his hair and eyes. His awakened demonic blood strengthened his body like other earth demons and rapidly speeding his body through adolescence.
  
  It was at the end of these four years, however that the worst came to be.
  
  He had traveled long and far, almost at the border of Canada. A silent thud met the ears of the silver haired giant as a sharp pain was felt on his neck. Reaching his hand to the spot, only to pull off what was a dart with a rather large needle and payload. His vision quickly became black as the sounds of footsteps quickly closed in on him. When he awoke, he found himself strapped and suspended in the air, a quite but constant humm filling his ears. Looking about, his forearms and lower legs were covered in what seemed to be massive metal armor with large electric cables coming out of them. With a surge of fear, he tried to break free of the bonds that held him in place. But even with his strength he could not break free. He then tried to call upon his powers, to tear the room he was in asunder so that freedom would be his. But his powers failed to manifest, like as if he never had any. It was then that a small laugh greeted his ears, a man in a lab coat was slowly approaching. The very same man who had tried to take him years ago, and had killed his sister right in front of his eyes. The man explained that he had been captured, now property of a research division of the DMT. And that the reason that he could not use his powers were the devices that they had strapped too him. His body had such a high output of power that they were using him like a power-source for the entire underground building. And with a mad laugh the man left him alone in the small room, with nothing but the quite hum and the IV bags for company.
  
  It was there that he hung, for him it seemed like forever for there was no way to measure the passage of time. But in all actuality he had hung there for two years. His demon blood thankfully keeping his body and muscles suffering from atrophy.
  In a state of half consciousness, with nothing to do but hang in his silent room. That it was with great surprise that someone other then a scientist came into the room. Normally someone came in now and again to check up on his health and to change the IV bags that kept his body fed.
  
  It was a red-headed woman that had entered his room, in his same sorry state of dress and in a panic. She was an experiment here in the underground building, and in her latest attempt to escape had accidentally hidden in the room that housed him. She was about to stay silent, to hide from those looking for her, but Deus spoke out to her, using a voice that had not been uttered for two years. "Get me down from here..... And we can both escape" With a shaky nod the woman released him from the bonds that held him aloft. And with a quick twist the cables that were connected to the devices were off. The lights flickered as power of the building changed over to backup, now no longer powered by him. With a dark smirk he felt his power quickly returning to him, and with a blast blew not only the door off the wall but the entire wall as well. The woman stopping to pick up a piece of metal as a weapon.
  
  But this is where it all went horribly wrong.
  
  In their attempts to corral the now escaped half demon, and red headed woman armed with a shap piece of metal, they had used experimental sonic weapons, meant to stun those that were blasted by them. However the reaction they got when the weapons were fired upon Deus were not what they had expected at all. He fell to his Demon blood. Forcing the dormant persona awake, and into emergence. The new persona, dubbing itself Disgaia, was pleased with his new-found control of Deus's body. In his pleasure, he began to slaughter all of the people there with a insane grin.. In just five minutes, he had reduced a large portion of the base to rubble, and blood had been spilt everywhere. His will spent, Disgaia receded, letting Deus think that all of it had been his doing. The red headed woman had been hiding in terror, angry at herself for letting that demon loose and believing it's promise to her. She then crept up behind Deus, seeing him this way had made her hate him even more. With a sudden cry she swung out with the sharp metal scrap she wielded like a weapon At the time, Deus was not wearing his left-arm-inhibitor, it resting beside him as he surveyed the carnage he had caused. creating a large Gash from his shoulder to his wrist on the outside of his arm. The sudden shock from the incident, combined with the woman's assault nearly broke him. Deus simply fled, snatching his discarded Inhibitor as he left the now ruined lab. Returning the inhibitor to it's proper place on his arm, the wound that the woman had made scarred him forever, mentally as well as physical.
  
  Five years have passed since his escape from the DMT, and Deus had almost recovered, but his weakening will, and his hunger for vengeance against the one that had killed his sister and him down his path, have made him return to the world, seeking revenge.

  RP example
  "You don't want me to do that........"
  
  
  A small town near the eastern coastline, a lazy afternoon had the residents at ease with the world. Things were slowing down, and everyone was heading home for a well deserved meal.
  
  Until someone saw Deus enter the town.
  
  He walked slowly, doing his best not to aggravate the citizens. They themselves knew not who he was, but his strange appearance had those that noticed him cease what they were doing to stare. With his massive stature but human appearance, he was an oddity that the townspeople had never seen before. They were wary of him, due to his strange appearance but at the same time intrigued. Deus however continued on, he was simply passing through and as long as the people didn't do anything stupid he would be fine. However his pace was halted as something, or rather someone got in his path. Deus looked down at who had gotten in his way, only to see a pair of small kids. They looked like as if they were brother and sister, in the hands of the boy was the handle of a wagon. They were towing around boxes of chocolates. They both looked at him, brave enough to get his attention but not enough to speak. Deus glanced at the chocolates before looking back to the children. He reached into one of his pockets, pulling something metallic out before placing it in the girls hands. He then began walking past them, grabbing one of the boxes as he spoke. "Keep the change......". The two children looked at what the large man had given them as payment and looked at it with puzzlement.

  THEME SONG: What's Up

[Regina Mills]

HEY NAGA. You've got yourself a pretty cool character here, and most of it does check out.

However, there is one problem I spotted. You refer to your character as having 'Dissociative Identity Disorder', and I like that you had it develop from a trauma in his past. However, DID is very much a defense mechanism, with the different personalities being less 'personalities' and more the person dissociating into different states in order to deal with specific problems that their 'real self' can't handle. A person with DID wouldn't have an utterly psychotic persona who tries to murder everyone the main persona cares about, because they're still part of the same person. So that would mean Deus had repressed urges to kill everyone around him xP..

tl;dr: Disgaia seems like he'd work better as an entire different entity possessing Deus than he does an aspect of Deus' DID.

IF you'd like to keep the character the way it is, please just remove the references to the psychological disorder, and explain it in a different way.. It's something that people suffer from in real life and we wouldn't want to offend, after all.

[deus]

Ah okay, I can change it I guess then.

The whole personality basis was based on my little wiki walk into DID after it was mentioned on Joker in the DC wiki, and it is actually possible for whole other people to emerge in a case of DID (although extremely rare) I could remove the DID reference and label it a type of psychosis or something like that if it makes you feel better meekz

[Regina Mills]

It's not really about making me 'feel better', and I wouldn't trust the Joker as the prime source of realism xD. I'm just very much a firm believer that mental disorders, when they are used in rp, should be portrayed as realistically as possible so as not to offend anyone. These are real things people suffer through, like I said.

Just veer away from the psychology issue and Deus will be good to go. :]

[deus]

Okay changed the wording on it

[Regina Mills]

Okay THAT was much more what I was talking about. Thank you for your patience and cooperation x3. Everything else looks swell.

ACCEPTED.
