Just outside of Urbadelphia, a small patch of ground glows red in colour before melting into itself. A figure pulls himself up from this hole in the ground and stands up straight, brushing off his red cloak he looks up towards the city, his yellow eyes burning behind the neutral expression of the mask that he wears. Two more masks hang across his chest, under his left arm one looks proud and cheerful whilst one looks sad and discontent across his chest. Metal plate armour covers the rest of his body as he stands up to his full height and gives a high-pitched, somewhat creepy chuckle “After an eternity away from the world of the living…” he muttered to himself as the ground sealed itself up “I am back…”
In the Otherworld, there is a legend. A legend of one state within the Otherworld known simply as ‘The Void’. The Void was one of the more elegant states within the Otherworld and was ruled by what was known as ‘The Court’, The Court consisted of The Queen of Blades, The Jack of Blades and The Knight of Blades. For millennia this court ruled The Void and it’s minions before one day, it was destroyed by one of the demons that inhabited it. The Jack of Blades had tried to entice the warrior in with a powerful sword that would control his mind, but the warrior fought back and defeated all three members of The Court. The Jack managed to seal his essence away in his mask but his ploy was found out by his former denizens and he was locked away within The Otherworld for what should have been an eternity.
They had but one fateful flaw in their plan. The other states of The Otherworld had begun more and more crossings into Earth and The Void had wanted to follow, sending lesser demons forwards with the other states they did not realize that the power being used to do as such was slowly but surely weakening the bonds holding their former master, and they no longer had the warrior who had defeated him years ago to protect them. But for now, Jack of Blades had no time for such trivial wonders, as much as he wanted to reclaim The Void, he needed allies and a foothold. At first he had planned on using Urbadelphia as that foothold but he saw little need now, he could sense it in the air, the potency of crossings here. And a number of powerful demons resided in the city, some who would make perfect allies.
He needed a body. He had his own obviously, but he needed one that would blend in with the public yet keep them at bay as well, he did not want people asking too many questions. A red mist swirled around Jack’s feet as he changed shape, his armour disappeared and he took the form of a human male, he had pale skin, black and red hair with bangs and his eyes were mismatched colors. One was red, the other a pale white. He wore a black jacket with the hood pulled up over his head, a pair of black jeans, black boots and thin black gloves with a tribal design.
He would remove the disguise whenever he had the opportunity but for now it would have to do, making sure the assortment of daggers that he kept on him at all times were concealed he set off. The red mist seemingly sucked inside of him as the last ruler of The Void set off for Urbadelphia…
Now I'll just throw a few facts down below for the things that weren't made clear or not mentioned in the above sample!
Powers: Jack wields what he calls 'The Mist of The Void' a red mist which can be solidified into a form of energy. This can be used both offensively and defensively. He's a master of Strength, Skill and Magic based attacks.
Fighting Style: They don't call him the Jack of Blades for nothing. He was the thinker of The Court and liked to twist the minds of those he faced, he uses near impeccable skill with his knives.
Flaws: Despite all of his strengths, he misses his home in a way, he hates being beaten and finds it hard to work with those he considers his 'lessers'
