Okay, idk if I'm creative enough for this one, but I do love me some music and associating shit with music, so I'll give it a stab. \o/

Drop a comment with the relationship(s) you want, and I'll reply back with a song (or a few) that reminds me of it plus a brief explanation. May be slow, reverse encouraged, etc, etc.

I play Cielo, Canaan, and Jin!

Other: Cielo has two forms; his human form and his demon form, Dyaus. His stats are functionally the same in both with a few exceptions; he's unhumanly fast in either, but he can fly faster than he can run (and, in fact, can fly faster than a fighter jet), and in demon form he gains an elemental strength and an elemental weakness. His strength is electricity; it does minimal damage to him. This applies to both magically-produced and non-magically produced electricity. Ophi would have to REALLY crank their tasers to knock him out. His weakness is status effects; generally speaking, these are a magic-only thing, because, for example, he's immune to being 'blinded' by a handful of dust by virtue of not having eyes in demon form. How he sees is a mystery, but dust won't affect it. :|a But if someone can come up with a non-magical way to induce an effect on him (sleep-berry juice or something!), he'd be weak to it as well. Charm and confuse are magic only, though; he's not going to turn on his party because you're verbally charming. :|a

Also, his Luck is SSS, but that only applies to Gambler games and crit rate, really. XD It's canon that it doesn't mean bad shit happens to him less. His life IS bad shit.

So Cielo is a cannibal demon, and he requires human or demon flesh! Normal food doesn't even dent his hunger. He won't be devouring very often, but he's going to need to sometimes! If you want to volunteer one of your characters for consumption, drop me a line here, and we shall work it out. Teammates are exempt; he won't eat you unless . . .

. . . he goes insane from hunger if he doesn't get anyone to eat for a long enough time. When he does this, he'll change and and try to eat whoever's closest until he's forced out of demon form or temporarily satisfied. If you want to volunteer for that should it happen, please drop a note here! Teammates can sign up for this if they want to; a starving demon knows no loyalty. People who want to sign up to restrain him when this happens are also welcome to mention it here.

Lol unbalanced but then again, it's representative! This will be added to at various times still, but I'm mostly done.

Age: 5!
Height:
Human form: Shorter than everyone but Sera? Probably 5'6"-5'8".
Demon form: 8-9 feet tall, looks taller because he hovers a bit off the ground.
Weight:
Human form: Light! He's a small guy.
Demon form: Does it matter?
Eyes:
Human form: Blue
Demon form: none
Hair:
Human form: Blue
Demon form: none, but his head is white-grey, and he has a crest.

Appearance:
Human form: Cielo is a small, wiry guy with an expressive face and wild blue hair; his hair has formed dreadlocks in the same places/shapes as his braids, because his body . . . wants to fit that look. It's programmed like that. :|a (The loop braids/dreads are hanging down, though, since he has nothing to tie them into loops with.) His eyes are the exact same shade as his hair. It's not visible until he takes off his Sabra-issue pants, but he has this spiffin' tattoo on his right thigh. He has a few scars here and there, since I find it hard to believe he could survive five years in the Junkyard without obtaining some. None are really bad, or look like they could have been fatal. People experienced in, er, reading scars, would note that they range from bullet wounds to knife wounds to . . . teeth? Teeth. :|a Hm.

Demon form: Dyaus is considerably taller than Cielo; probably ~2.5 to 3 feet taller. His body is a mid-blue, about the Canis colour, but faintly more purplish, while his head is a greyish white. His face has no eyes or nose, and he has no ears; it consists entirely of a mouth with sharp, sharp teeth. This does not prevent him from seeing, hearing, and smelling, however. His head is topped with a long, backwards-pointing crest that bends slightly and ends with a point. When attacking in demon form, the core of this crest jacknifes forwards, is wickedly sharp, and he stabs people with it.

His arms are more like airplane wings, broad, flat, and tapered; the tapered edge is sharp as a blade, and he can use them as a weapon. They have no elbows. His hips and legs down to just above the knee stick out oddly; something like dorsal fins, but on the sides of his legs. The backs of his wings and the fronts and backs of his fins/hips and legs where the fins are located have a 'rainbow' across them; the rainbow makes a sharp point up the back of his neck as it crosses his back. It's not a proper rainbow either; the one on his wings starts with a dark blue, followed by a flat purple (rather like Cepheus), then a green near-ish Lacerta's, then a soft pink (rather like Cygnus XD). The fronts of his wings and his entire back except for where the rainbow is is the same dark blue as at the start of that rainbow.

The rainbow across the backs of his thighs looks the same as the one on his wings; the rainbow on the front lacks the dark blue; instead the mid-blue of his body goes straight to the flat purple, then the green, then the pink. He has hands at the ends of his wings, and his feet are long, with only four toes, each of which is sharp. The toes themselves, not toenails. He doesn't have toenails. :|a He always, always floats a minimum of three inches off the floor, often as high as a foot. It takes no effort or concentration to fly; Dyaus simply flies like breathing.

Dyaus has a ribbon in Canis blue tied around his crest, and Cielo's limiter grows and changes shape to fit Dyaus' arm when he changes.


Character Name: Cielo
Unit: Canis
Description of powers: Atma (flight, mouth laser, elemental strength and weakness); 'hunt skills'; healing; offensive spells; psychic powers; can fire a sub-machine gun.
Strength/Extent of powers: The power of Atma doesn't really have a 'strength', aside from the general power of the demon you transform into. Less powerful Atma are possessed by multiple people; the strongest Atma are unique. Cielo is one of the strongest; his Atma, the Rainbow Arch, is unique to him. It permits him to transform into the demon Dyaus.

With the power of Atma comes three powers specific to Cielo: while in demon form, he's strong against electric attacks and weak against status effects; he can fly while in demon form (and, in fact, never touches the ground; he defaults to hovering a few inches from the floor); and he has a . . . mouth . . . laser. . . . I have no way to quantify this because it's a laser beam that comes out of Cielo's mouth. He cuts Bat's wing off with it instantly, so it's fairly strong. But it's not also his first instinct to use it; it's for cutscene battles only, basically.

Here is the DDS2 mantra grid; part in black are things Cielo doesn't know and can't re-learn through memories. The rest will be learned according to memories!

His psychic powers are a largely unknown factor, and probably very weak; he gets feelings, 'vibes', and hunches that turn out to be correct, finds things without being able to explain how he knew where to look for them, and when extremely angry, his hair floats in an intangible wind, despite wind not being his Atma's element.

Innate: Atma (and the three powers it unlocks) is innate and memory related, psychic abilities are innate.
Memory related: Ability to fire a gun and ability to cast spells, whether damaging or healing, require memories, as does the ability to actually transform at will. The powers his Atma unlocks require no extra memories, just the ability to transform, since they're innare to his demon form.
Relation to memory:

Any Dyaus combat memory or memory where he transforms or Atma is discussed would teach him how to shift into Dyaus at will; this does not cover berserk form or losing himself to the Atma from hunger - those can happen with no memories at all, though berserk form will only happen through Judge dickery, since Sabra has no solar noise.

His ability to use a submachine gun would require a memory from combat in his human form.

Memories of combat as Dyaus from earlier in the games would give him lower ranks of hunt abilities, lightning, healing, and ailment spells; memories of combat from further on in the games would give him higher ranks of those, plus lower abilities from the rest. Memories from late in game 2 would return the strongest he knows of the everything (late game 1 memories cap at the Ma-dyne lightning spells and Ma-ga/on other elements, and respective places in the other things).

Effect of Animus Limiters:

Cielo and Dyaus would be weaker; his stats are capped at level 38 for purposes of offense. So even his high level spells and skills aren't going to do a heck of a lot of damage; his healing will be similarly limited until he learns Diaharan, which is draining, but it does heal one person fully. His ailments are less likely to hit their target.

EXACT STATS ARE:

When attacking:

St: 20 (capped lower because it affects how hard he hits)
Vi: 55 (no affect on offense)
Ma: 31 (capped lower because it affects how hard his spells hit)
Ag: 40 (capped lower because it affects accuracy)
Lu: 69 (uncapped; it affects critical chance, but even high, it's not a huge boost)

When defending:

St: 20 (same cap as above because strength has nothing to do with physical defense)
Vi: 55 (determines HP and physical defense)
Ma: 70 (higher than his offensive cap because Ma affects magic defense)
Ag: 93 (higher than his offensive cap because it affects dodging)
Lu: 69 (presumably, helps reduce enemy crit chance)

HP: 626 <--- always this amount because his vitality is always 55
MP: 520 <--- always capped at the amount he would have if his level were 99 but his Ma only 31 instead of 70


( A list of which spells he can learn (which which ones he knows will be indicated as they are learned) is here. )

That might seem like a lot, but he can only equip and use 8 at once, and he has to remember them first, so there is a limitation! Here is his current default equipped list; this can be changed at any point outside of combat, however, so as long as he's not 'in combat' he has access to any of his spells. Mostly they're not very useful outside combat though. Healing is the exception.

1) Null Ailment
2) Diarama
3) Ziodyne
4) Mediarama
5) Maragion
6) Consume
7) Mabufula
8) Megido
