Background

Yu was raised between two countries, worlds apart: The Midchilda administrative region, and the country of Japan. When given the choice between a normal Japanese education or a more vocation-oriented magical education in Midchilda, he chose the latter. He was always good at guessing test questions and consistently scored at the top of his class.

His father used to wield the dark arts of Devil Summoning through a device granted unto him by the outer god Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. He ended up leaving that device in the hands of a magical technology development firm named Caledfwlch Technics for safekeeping and further study. Calefwlch personnel made an attempt to transfer the device's programming to a new, more benign Intelligent Device, but they underestimated the dark power contained within those simple lines of programming. The device went out of control and nearly ruined the development lab it was stored in. As a freshly recruited devicer specialist, Yu was brought to the scene on his own request, and somehow, he managed to get the device under control and bond with it.

Since then, Yu has mastered the techniques of contacting demons, forming pacts with them, and summoning and releasing them at will. The Dimensional Administration Bureau is very squeamish about this being put to use for any formal purpose, and so Yu has turned to freelancing instead.

Unique Items

Intelligent Devil Summoning Device FAUX

An Intelligent Device is a magical artifact with a built-in semi-autonomous AI system to regulate its functions. They have an idle form, usually a piece of jewelry, and an active mode to use during combat. Faux's idle form is an HUD monocle. Its active mode is an ornate, magically enhanced metal scythe.

Faux possesses Pact abilities, in addition to more traditional combat abilities. It also includes a Belkan-style cartridge system which allows it to amplify a single blow per cartridge spent.

Device Abilities

• Weapon Modes: Retractable scythe on one end, long barrel rifle on the other
• Magic Analyst: The device is able to record magical signatures into its datalogs and analyze them in detail. The level of detail is entirely up to the DM providing the information.
• Recorder: The device can record and store images, sound, and video in reasonable resolution.
• Device Communication: Enables to wielder to telepathically communicate with other wielders of Intelligent Devices.
• Veste Barriere: Manifests a magically imbued set of clothes around the wielder. These clothes represent a personal barrier, and even areas left exposed by this clothing are protected by the same barrier.
• Porte Infernale: Allows the caster to place two Midchildan magic circles on the ground, each forming a two-way gate. The gates connect to each other and can be used for an emergency escape. Needs LOS to place a circle, and the gates can only be on the dimensional plane or realm where the caster currently stands.
• Freidyne: A spell which hits a group of enemies with a nuclear elemental explosion of energy.
• Pulinpa: A single target spell to cause a state of confusion in the target's mind. 50% accuracy.
• Faucheuse: A weapon technique in which the wielder slashes forward in a feint, and then blurs behind a foe and slashes their rear.
• Fausse Reflection: The metal of Faux has a magically reflective surface that can deflect direct attack spells in a direction of the wielder's choosing.
• Canon Faux: The rifle end of Faux fires bullets of condensed magical energy. These can be charged up to travel hundreds of meters in a straight line, with consistent accuracy.
• Coup de Faux: The rifle end of Faux can fire scattered close-range shotgun blasts of magical energy.
• Ombre: Causes chains of shadowy magic to emerge from a target's shadow and grab at them, seeking to restrain the target and drag them to the ground if they're in the air.
• Shining Trapezohedron: Creates a non-Euclidean shaped field around a single target and fires multiple cannon shots which rebound endlessly inside for the duration of the spell.

Pact Abilities

• Demonic Pact: Enables the user to establish contracts with willing supernatural creatures. The language of these contracts can be summarized as an agreement to digitally preserve a creature's signature and summon it for combat until such time as either side chooses to end the contract.
• Devil Digitization: Able to digitally record and recall the signature of supernatural creatures that form pacts with Yu.
• Devil Summoning: Capable of summoning any creature whose signature is stored within its contract archives, even when that creature is elsewhere at the time.
• Digital Preservation: As long as a signature is preserved within Faux's databanks, it will not perish, even if the creature takes an otherwise mortal blow. Instead, the creature will be de-summoned and sustained by Faux's own energy.
• Digital Communication: Able to communicate telepathically with any creature bound by pact to this device.

Existing Pacts

• Luca Sparda
• Akio Minamino

Outer Tarot Deck

This is a set of 13 Major Arcana cards granted to Yu by an incarnation of an Outer God. Yu is able to use three of these per battle.

• I: The Firstborn Son
  • Spinzaku - Trademark move of Suzaku. Suzaku leaps from behind Yu, able to reach far and high distance by doing a multiple spinning roundhouse kick at any foes he encounters in front of him.
• II: The Torso
  • Telekinetic Smash - A simple attack. When used, the immediate target in front of Yu will be attacked with powerful telekinetic wave, either knocking them away or potentially blocking an incoming projectile.
• III: The Bound Woman
  • Holy Attack - Alice appears with her book of spells, speaking a quick incantation which will summon forth a large Holy Attack to the adversary in front of her.
• IV: The Withered Lover
  • Daara: The Maram word for 'Storm'. When casted, the immediate target in front of Yu will be attacked with powerful gusts of wind, either knocking them away or potentially blocking an incoming projectile.
• V: The Torn Prince
  • Sword of Dios - Utena appears and becomes illuminated with light with the Sword of Dios in hand, she will then leap from above (like Sephiroth) and slash downwards at the target in front of Yu.
• VI: The Angry Princess
  • Sword Attack - Kaine appears with her two large, barbed blades and double slash at the enemy in front of her. It's a brutal attack that both cleaves and tears into the enemy and strikes with much force, able to affect even exceptionally large opponents.
• VII: The Pilgrimess
  • Scalpel Toss - Surgery Move of Fran. Brandishing her four arms, Fran will appear in front of Yu with precise slashes at the target in front of her, because she has four arms.. the move is very difficult to dodge.
• VIII: The Great Child
  • Spin Attack - Trademark move of Link. Link appears in front of Yu and will spin around in a circle like a tornado with his sword at any foes directly in front of him.
• IX: The Dire Mother
  • Capsule Toss - A Capsule Corp Capsule is tossed. When thrown, the immediate target in front of Yu will be blown the hell up like they hugged a grenade because that capsule was actually a huge freaking Bomb. YEAH.
• X: The Hammer
  • Scimitar Slash - Pretty straight forward. Ferio appears and the immediate target in front of Yu will be attacked with a strong slash of his massive Scimitar.
• XI: The Jackal
  • Telekinetic Attack - Psycho Mantis will telekinetically hurl a nearby object at the foe, if there is nothing nearby.. even pieces of the ground will suffice.
• XII: The Juggernaut
  • Giga Drill Break - Trademark move of Kamina. The technique itself uses an actual piece of equipment called a Giga Drill, formed every time the move is used. The immediate target in front of Yu FREAKING DRILLED.
• XIII: The Broken Heart
  • Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken - Meaning North Star Hundred Crack Fist. Kenshiro's trademark technique, in which Ken strikes the opponent's body with a relentless flurry of punches.

Weaknesses & Flaws

• Otherworldly Taint (2) (Red eyes): Has distinctively dark red eyes that are not a normal human color, the mark of an Outer God's influence. Someone who suspects he's not "normal" may make an Alertness roll, difficulty 7, to determine this.
• Probationary Member (Dimensional Administration Bureau): Despite being a member of the DAB, Yu's standing is not favorable there. The DAB is strongly opposed in principle to the idea of forming demonic pacts or having any kind of congress with dark powers.
• Nightmares (1): Yu has frequent nightmares of places and things that should not be seen by human eyes. A particularly bad night may cause him to have a -1 penalty on all rolls.

NPC(s) to go with char

• Faux: A highly advanced AI companion in Yu's Intelligent Device. Capable of interfacing wirelessly with computers and cell phones. Also capable of acting autonomously using the device's abilities.
