His form is not as muscled as most men his age, as evident by the clothes he wears, and his current state of health only seems to show more worry when people gaze upon the cane he uses. Despite these setbacks, Vergil usually holds a calmness to his features, with his gaze never seeming hateful or malice filled. A thoughtful look usually accentuates his handsome features, contemplating of the research that he could conduct now that he’s working within the main branch of SOPHE.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Vergil is a soft spoken man, one that usually keeps to himself unless others need something of him. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t chime in with a word or two caution, or simply with advice that could potentially help in the coming days. Others believe him to ally be antisocial, when in fact Vergil simply enjoys the time he has in solitude. Those that come to really talk with the man will find that he’s actually quite interested and attune with the political and social aspects of the world, and more so when it comes to demon and human relations.<br/><br/>However, when it comes to his stance of demons and SOPHE’s methods, Vergil has been known to side more with demons, as he believes not all of them are evil, and some even have reason to resent humans, even those in the likes of VOID. Some at SOPHE have distanced themselves from him due to the fact, but he takes his stance to heart, and knows that his beliefs are somewhat controversial.<br/><br/><strong>History (Who is your character?): </strong>Vergil never knew his parents, as he was an orphan all his life growing up. The only people he ever had within his life that kept him from fully diving into darkness, were his two older brothers. Always together, Vergil was a wast of the group, younger and much more inexperienced when it came to growing up and learning of the new world that was changing. Despite this, he and his brothers were inseparable, and always did what they could to learn from one another and grow into their own.<br/><br/>Vergil, however, became fascinated with demons as they slowly but surely integrated into human society. His curiosity had come to peak when the idea of humans using magic became a focal point of his growing adolescence, reading as many books as he could in the subject that were being written. His brothers had other goals in mind for their future, but Vergil, he just wanted to be seen as an equal, as someone of level standing with his brothers. He wanted to learn and grow, and become something that they could be proud of.<br/><br/>This all seemed for not, however, when at the age of 15 Vergil decided to contact a demon to fully learn the arts of demonic magic. The meeting was set, and the two met, but the meeting didn’t go as planned. In a desperate pursuit of knowledge, Vergil asked for any way for him to learn demonic arts; what he asked for, he received.<br/><br/>The young man was given the ability to use demonic arts, as his mental and spiritual fortitude was strong enough; however, a curse was set along his body. Black markings were etched into his skin, and his body was severely weakened, near the point that Vergil had almost died.<br/><br/>In exchange for knowledge of demon magic, the demon Vergil came in contact with halved his life, and as well, took the life of his oldest brother.<br/><br/>Ridden with grief, Vergil set himself on a path of knowledge once more. He couldn’t forgive himself for losing his oldest brother, and for being so careless, and yet the thing he sought out for so long was nearly within his grasp. He continued onwards as he grew, mingling within demon communities to gain sources of knowledge and contacts on artifacts and objects of demonic interest, before he soon gained a name for himself due to his knowledge.<br/><br/>Soon enough, around his mid twenties, SOPHE contacted him to offer him a position at their main branch, as he’d been working with their secondary branch within the near outskirts of rural Japan. Hearing of the activity that was surfacing due to a group known as VOID, Vergil transferred to SOPHE’s main branch, becoming their consultant on Demon Magic. He’s been with SOPHE for four years now, and he continues in his quest for knowledge, hoping that he can eventually forgive himself for the loss of his brother.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Vergil likes to read, with poetry being one of his favorites of all things. Finding it to be relaxing, he finds wherever he can to read that will give him some sense of peace and quiet. Despite the ignorance of some members of SOPHE, he does become more talkative if someone was to show interest in the knowledge he knows of demon magic. The subject is a fascinating one to him, and he would be eager to talk and explore the concepts of the magical potential that humans and demons could hold with such powers.<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Vergil doesn’t particular care for loud or obnoxious individuals, as they always seem to either dampen the mood, or annoy him to no end. He most definitely doesn’t care for those that don’t see that demons are not the enemy, and that they truly have their own doubts and worries about the world, and even of SOPHE. More so then not however, he hates to be called weak, or seen as such. A sore subject for him ever since he lost his brother, he’s tried his hardest to strengthen himself, yet the scars of the past have all but remained.<br/><br/><strong>Skills: </strong>The curse put upon Vergil has unlocked his potential in using demon magic, with most notably, darker demonic magic being his most prominent.<br/><br/><strong>Familiar:</strong>Created from a demonic ritual, and part of his own soul, Vergil created a familiar that could be manipulated at his own will. Used mainly as a line of defense due to his weakened state, the familiar takes on different forms for a multitude of situations that calls upon it, usually the form of a small black cat. Through the familiar, Vergil has a conduit to use his magic at a regulated degree.<br/><br/><strong>Familiar Magic:</strong>The familiar Vergil creates has two forms, one for each form of fighting. A demonic bird that can cast spells of lightning from far range, and a black panther with red eyes, that changes it form to pierce enemies with sharp spikes made of dark energy for close range. Despite the abilities the familiar are given, Vergil must be within a few feet of range, or familiars deteriorate, with the magical energy being speed back in this body.<br/><br/><strong>Talents (Normal hobbies and talents): </strong>Vergil believe talents only apply to that of the magical abilities and spells that he can use. However some have told him that he has the innate talent of listening when those need it most; it’s something he doesn’t take to heart however, considering the prejudice he has gotten from others regarding his stance on demons.<br/><br/><strong>Extra:</strong>Vergil is usually seen within the Science Research Division, taking to SOPHE members and scientists as to how demon magic and artifacts are being catalogued and handled. He’s become more active in the research of artifacts and scriptures, but things of this nature are hard to come by, as they are extremely old and valuable.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Affiliation (SOPHE, VOID, etc):</strong>SOPHE<br/><br/><strong>Title (Applicable to SOPHE Soldiers, Void Members, and Special Cases):</strong>Demon Magic Consultant<br/><br/><strong>Strengths (Must have three):</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li> Extensive Knowledge of Demonic Magic and items: Studying with like minds, Vergil found himself utterly entranced by the concept that demon magic was to humans. While he is still somewhat young, he’s spent his entire life studying demons and what their abilities could hold, more so with how humans could harness such abilities.</li><li> Trust from Demon Communities: Vergil is a man that had studied demons, and more so, treated them like they were anyone else. Those that allowed him to speak and study became connections that he has used to further his research and his contact list, and because of this, he’s become one of the few humans that has been trusted in the more demon-oriented areas of Japan.<br/></li><li> Magical Capabilities: Few humans have had the drive to learn demon magicks, yet for some reason, Vergil had become quite fascinated with the idea, and his own mental fortitude adapted perfectly to the arts. Becoming a natural in what appeared to be near impossible odds, Vergil has the ability to cast spells and incantations that most demons can create, but other humans cannot.</li></ul><br/><strong>Weaknesses (Must have Three):</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li> Physically Weak: Due to the accident that left Vergil cursed, his body has physically weakened to a degree not normal for his age. Weaker than most men, he uses a cane to help him walk, due to the physical strain that his body endures from the accident years ago.</li><li> Thirst for Knowledge: Vergil is a man seeking knowledge, and demonic magic and the creation of such a concept at times consumes him. The answers he seeks come from the most devilish of minds, and at times, he doesn’t care for the consequence; not when the discovery and understanding could very much be worth the risk.</li><li> Magical Deterioration: The magic Vergil has learned to utilize is more powerful than most normal humans could dream of ever possessing. However, it’s not without cost, as the curse that marks his body is only but partial reminder of his failures. The magic he uses is powerful in nature, but it takes as much as it gives. Those that have seen Vergil up close in action have sworn they’ve seen cracks along his skin, as if he’s slowly breaking apart.</li></ul><br/><strong>Uniform (If Applicable):</strong>Vergil prefers to wear his own clothes, as they’re more for his comfort and wellbeing.
