First outfit: She recently began to wear jean-like pants and a white shirt, where one of the right sleeve is completely ripped off. The design on the front of her shirt is a pentagram. Parallel to that, on the back, angel wings are drawn. Both represent the fact that she's from both the celestial and underworld. Around her wrists are two bracelets; the darker one looks like a bat wing while the other looks like a crystal halo.

Second outfit: Rinali wears dark colors to emphasize her crimson eyes when in demon mode or when Seilin wants out. Usually, the outfit is composed of a white, sleeveless top under a black vest. Her bottoms are black skinny jeans, which have rips on the lower leg. Her bracelets are worn on her left wrist instead of both. Around her neck, the miniature version of her mirror is attached to a chain.

Notable Physical Traits: Her eyes tend to change colors depends on her personality. She is pretty pale.

Talents:

She is into the magic both her heritages offer her. She practices as frequently as she can since using her magic in battle is the only way she can survive during the war.


Personality:

Because of heritage, she was born with two other personalities besides her human based one. These are called the Human, Apostle and Demon modes.

Human: She is usually the type that rarely pulls herself into conflicts and avoids picking sides regardless of the saying "If you're not with me, you're against me." She talks when she needs to, just speaks when spoken to or when she feels the need to say something. Rinali is distant from the others due to the way she had been living for the last nineteen centuries she had been alive.

Demon: Usually when her human persona gets provoked, she can easily turn into demon mode. Her sense of reason isn't as strong as it is when she's in Apostle mode due to the fact that she was provoked. Most of the time, her demon persona comes out when she's been irritated and told to fight or in her case, cast spells from the demon arts. Rinali tends to be more headstrong and a bit more confident in her skills when like this. Now that the second power seal is intact, Rinali has been influenced by Seilin’s hotheadedness. Once deeply provoked, she will act --- most times with a lot of force.

Apostle: When Rinali is in this certain character, she tends to be a bit more patient and quite frank. Also, she is fairly humble in this stage. Her sense of reason is stronger here than in the other two forms. Only that, she is too trusting and see the good in people more here --- something one can use to their advantage. She can only switch into this personality from her human one. She can never, ever switch into this from demon mode. Because of the second seal, Rinali has gained Mai’s characteristics. If her injuries benefit her companions, she will put herself in harm’s way without another thought.

Notable Personality Traits: She is totally bi-polar. Nah, Rinali is more like tri-polar with her conflicting personalities and the two souls who are bound to her.


Weapons:

Rinali doesn't carry anything like a sword, but has a circular, glass mirror on her person at all times. Currently, there is a charm placed on the mirror which causes it to shrink to a miniature size when not in use. In its mini form, Rinali attaches it to her necklace. With or without the mirror, she can cast spells verbally or even non-verbally.

Accessories:

She has a necklace which she uses to hold her mirror. Plus, Rinali has a bat-wing bracelet as well as a halo-bracelet. The bracelets represent both sides of her heritage.


Abilities:
- Multiply - Demon - Rinali, using her blood, can create several clones of her herself. These clones are exactly like the original who summoned them. With the shards in hand, they all send the shards flying toward the enemy, multiplying them before the strike. However, there is a time limit for using this ability and the effectiveness of this is solely dependent on her concentration. Under normal circumstances, she can call four total; but under stress, she can only call two clones to appear beside herself.

- Song of Nephilim - Apostle/Demon - She can use this ability in either of her non-human selves. She causes a female voice that sings eternally to be heard. Apparently, that voice belonged to her mother. Most in her path are affected by it. Some are thrown into hysteria when it is activated. Others go on a killing spree. Some are just unaffected, but can hear it and became irritated.

- Also Sprach Zarathustra - Demon - Rinali, after locating a target, weaves an illusion using her demon magic. This illusion is twisted in whatever way Rinali thinks is best to distract her foes or to weaken them. A physical death within that illusion results in a mental breakdown in reality. Usually, she follows this up with her Sinner ability. Those of higher power and rank than her can obviously see past this illusion. She usually uses this ability on weaker opponents which attack her in higher numbers.

- Sinner – Demon – Rinali’s eyes burn a deep crimson as she feels a bloodlust equivalent to the Sinners ranks of the Devils of the Demon World. Demonic wings come forth from her back, representing her fallen bloodline. She speaks some line that doesn’t make any sense to certain people. Before she begins her attack, she gathers her demonic energy and blasts it at her opponents. Following this, she flies straight at her opponent with the burning intent to kill them. Rinali will continue to use her demonic energy as well as her strength in her attempt to subdue her foes. She usually combines these effects with those of Also Sprach Zarathustra.

- Chrono Control – Demon/Apostle - Rinali knows one of the highest of the demon arts: the ability to freeze time even if for a few seconds. However, it also slows her movements and takes up most of her energy. She uses this spell only in dire need of an escape.

- Mnemosyne (“Memory”) – Demon/Apostle – Due to the sister souls which are bound to her, Rinali can reach into their minds and pull out any memories she wishes. With the memories, she could also pull out their abilities. Most of the time, it isn’t as successful due to the sisters Seilin and Mai interfering. She has yet to master this technique completely.

[Let me know if you want me to cut down on this; I had this character for a long time and developed her abilities throughout the years I had her]

Background:

Not much is known about Rinali except a few things. A couple years after creation of the world, her father was a demon, who had fallen for her mother, who was one of the Nephilim, the people born from a union of a celestial angel and a human, a fallen angel. This made her mother a hybrid; neither human nor angel, but both. After disobeying orders to leave heaven the paradise she wanted to live in, she was kicked out of both the celestial world and the underworld due to the fact that she was not entirely of their world with the other blood flowing in her veins. So she was cast into the human world, where most of the runaways of both worlds fled. She became a spell-caster with her talents in both angel magic and demon arts and also became a freelancer, taking up jobs that needed her expertise to complete.

Upon traveling through certain realms with a quick interval, Rinali's mirror broke and shattered into many pieces. The seal that kept all sides of her sane became undone and her demon persona rages more than her human and apostle personalities. Basically, she was pretty much like a blood-thirsty demon until her mirror is repaired or a different, more powerful seal is placed upon her.

Fortunately, another mirror was crafted. A sorceress by the name of Tellia Semaron placed a new seal. However, there was a price to be paid. Two souls were torn from their resting places to keep Rinali in check. The two sisters of fire demon blood, Seilin and Mai were reunited once again. Once more, Seilin was brought back against her will. According to the sorceress, the two sister souls were used to keep Rinali’s Angel and Demon personalities under control. There are occasions where the sisters take over Rinali’s body in a weakened state. For example, Rinali had been ambushed and beaten to a pulp and Seilin took over to prevent Rin from falling comatose. The three constantly long for paradise, but they know all of them cannot return until Rinali dies by a Nephilim’s hand.


RP Sample:

Rinali wasn’t sure she wanted to be where she was. There were too many people bustling about, moving to and fro, going on with their lives. Zenoah was busy. Its neon lights were flashing all over the skyscrapers. Cell phones went off constantly. Irritated, something inside Rinali stirred. The emerald shade of her eyes darkened to black before melting into a crimson red. Twisted thoughts hadn’t entered her mind all throughout the change; the demonic side would not surface. Not when Seilin’s soul was the seal to hold her demon side down.

“Papa. Je vais rester chez mon ami, Xavier. Je t’aime.” A teenage girl beside her spoke over the phone. Via Rinali’s long memory, she was able to translate. The teen had said: ‘Dad. I am going to stay at Xavier’s house. I love you.’ She raised an eyebrow. The girl looked no more than fourteen years of age and extremely naïve. The girl couldn’t be. In her head, Mai’s voice protested. Lewd minded sister. I can see why Tellia made you in charge of the demon side.

Nice. Could you perhaps give us a number with "Multiply"?
As a note, "Also Sprach Zarathustra" will fall victim to the illusion clause. (someone of higher rank will be able to ignore/see through it)

Edited: specified the number of clones Rinali can summon with Multiply and added a little note for Also Sprach Zarathustra. I completely agree with that note. Otherwise, Rinali would be too powerful. And we wouldn't want that. Makes the game boring too quickly.

Thanks, Ember! Anything else?

Nothing else.
Approved.
