Devil May Cry OC Week Day 5

Hello and welcome to @dmc-oc-week Day 5: Weapons/Abilities| Jobs/Hobbes!

I feel like this will be a partial retread of things I’ve already said this week, but that’s fine either way. I like talking about Sirrus! So let’s go topic by topic and flesh things out! And as always, I’m trying to keep it as spoiler free as possible. Let me know if you need me to clarify anything of if you have questions or just simply have input. Thanks!

Weapons: Sirrus only has one physical weapon. His dark blade, Kilnsbane. Due to it’s construction consisting of about 2/1 Damascus Steel, 1/4 meteorite, and 1/4 other nebulous metals like tungsten, his blade contains naturally occurring carbon nanotube. Needless to say, it’s basically indestructible despite the fact that’s a damn swept hilt rapier with a thin blade. But, due to the blade’s incredible melting point (Approximately 3,400C due to the presence of tungsten, which is about double the heat of one of his hottest flame abilities, blue flame.) it’s the perfect match to his abilities.

Abilities: Sirrus has several nebulous powers that can’t be explained without spoiling what he is, but I can explain how they work and their uses. In addition to things like increased agility, speed, stamina, increased healing speed, and endurance, his most notable abilities are his flame ability that are technically not flame, and his dark powers.

1. His flame ability comes from an inborn gift to control light. Essentially he causes things to ignite by raising the heat index of the light around him. he’s basically creating localized flash burns. That’s also how he keeps himself from burning. He can cause an imbalance in the temperature around his body. His skin isn’t fire retardant.

2. His dark powers manifest in nebulous ways such as increased night sight and higher sensory abilities in dark environments. As such, he’s difficult to sneak up on, but he can sense things around him in a greater radius when in dark environments. But due to the duality of his abilities and nature, he also feels the pull of darkness, and as such, he uses his darker abilities sparingly. He fears losing control of them and overwhelming his own allies. He also has other abilities, but they will be revealed later. That’s spoilers territory. You’ll see...

Jobs: He has two main jobs, but while one is as a direct result of boredom (see #1 in this section) his other is more for personal reasons than anything else. He feels a sense of responsibility those less powerful than him due to the power and standing he possesses, so he does what he can to keep the world from folding in on it’s self. Here is a better breakdown:

1. As an adjudicator, he’s job is to go to regions and cities that are having supernatural activity, find the source, and solve the problem. He doesn’t strictly deal with just demonic activity. He sometimes deals with curses, tears in reality, and even serves as a mediator between powerful factions to avoid full on conflict. As such, he’s well read on legal maters that relate to his employers, and is able to read several languages including Adamic, Enochian , Latin, and even a little bit of Coptic, but that’s mostly just for the fun of it. His favorite among the languages is Gaelic, however. He considers it beautiful, and occasionally barrows a word or two from it in casual conversation. Makes you wonder how he became so fluent in it...

He also has a deep respect for the more disrespected religions in modern society, and doesn’t like seeing them portrayed in a negative, inaccurate light. Examples include Voodoo being considered entirely evil and Pagan’s and Wicca's being considered silly, evil, or hedonistic. He respects the tenacity of their cultures and the fact that they have survived so much oppression, though he does not practice any of them himself. But as far as he is concerned, believing is not intrinsically linked to respecting. He doesn’t have to understand to be tolerant and respectful of other cultures beliefs.

2. As an ally to the team. He came to town at the behest of his “superiors” and at the request of his father’s divorced second wife’s sister, magnolia. (His family tree is a mess. I have to post it sometime) to investigate the fact that in like 2o years there had been at least 8 known large scale demonic attacks. But upon arriving, he came to the conclusion that there was a need for him to stay and assist the team. His boss was just going to have to be irritated at the lack of desk work getting done. And after an extremely powerful Devil got involved, he was firm in his convictions. Being personally injured by that demon didn’t have anything to do with that. Nope. Sirrus is totally immune to petty grudges. Yup.

Hobbes: In his spare time, Sirrus likes to take in the arts. He participates in a few of them as well, ranging from sketching and drawing, to writing and even a light bit of photography when he has the time. One of his favorite pastimes is actually dancing, something that he doesn’t mention, but would totally be down to do at a moment’s notice. He comes from a somewhat transient background on his mother’s side (She’s from a Gypsy background, but left it to strike out on her own during her youth due to unfortunate and somewhat involuntary circumstances, but some of her culture remained and she passed it on to her son. This is part of his respect for marginalized and disrespected cultures) so Maybe he could teach V sometime.

He loves nature, and spending time in it is always agreeable. He just hates bright sun. The migrains are NOT worth it.

Here are the other days if you need them!
