Sign Up Devil May Cry: Dark Future

[Wondershot]

Much like DMC, this story is M rated due to language and gore.

In the future, little has changed. Society grows, generations come and go, and there are always demons running around messing stuff up saying they want to take over the world. Whatever. To this day, people have fought demons trying to preserve their freedom. Some demons have joined the cause of peace, and one of them was the legendary Dark Knight, Sparda. A demon who sought to free the human world from the clutches of the underworld. He had a son, Dante, half demon, half human, who took his place and hunted the bane of the living world for decades...For a price, of course.

Now, Dante sees that it is time to throw in the towel and pass his demon hunting business: "Devil May Cry" to the next likely candidate for demon hunting hero. Also, he hears that people have been setting up demon hunting businesses of their own, making for some interesting competition. He wonders what the world...both worlds will have in store for the future...

Name: May Greenville

Age: 26

Race: demon

Business: Yushi no Yami (decided I'd rather join an existing one, unless you'd prefer I started another one, Wondershot)

Weapons: short range -- twin daggers; long range -- shotgun, classical bow and arrow

Description: looks like {insert character here}. Oh you didn't want that? ;)
Long blonde hair that's usually in a ponytail, but is amazingly straight and untangled. Soft brown eyes that look calm and innocent most of the time, until she's angered ... Tall (about 5'8"), rather thin, and wears stylish outfits that usually consist of a great deal of black leather.

Devil Trigger:
As a demon, May's blonde hair turns jet black. Her eyes darken to black as well, but the pupils become an inhuman white. Her skin pales dramatically to nearly white. Her canine teeth also slightly elongate, giving them a fang-like appearance, though she's not a vampire by any means.
The change in May's eyes actually allows her to see much more clearly and distinctly, and in the dark her visibility becomes as good as a cat's. Her hearing also becomes slightly more sensitive, though it is not as enhanced as her sight.
In demon form, May is able to imbue her bullets, arrows, and tips of her dagger with darkness. Under these circumstances, a victim of any of these things experiences trouble beyond the normal physical wounds inflicted; he may also experience problems with sight, delusional visions of shadowy creatures, or hear things that aren't there. These symptoms often linger for a long time, sometimes fading, and once in a while driving a victim insane.
May also becomes able to cast darkness with her hands, which blots out light. If she casts darkness onto a person with her hands, it usually does not affect them; she hypothesizes this is because the darkness needs to enter their bloodstream.

Bio:
May's father, Kahoku, was a demon sent by his family to kidnap a human woman named Fiona, the daughter of a powerful politician whom the demon family planned to use to gain power in his sector. Fiona was heavily trained in martial arts, though, and ready for such attacks, even from demons. The two fought for several minutes until Fiona was holding her shotgun to Kahoku's head; however, she found that she could not pull the trigger, and soon after they eloped.
Kahoku and Fiona lived their lives on the run from Kahoku's demon family, the Aitan, who were obviously extremely angered by his change of sides. (Fiona's father was angry as well, but as long as she left him alone, he was able to continue his politician's life and eventually forgave her.) The two gave birth to May, who grew up living the life of a fugitive, being given practical lessons from her parents as they continued fighting and running.
When she was 20, her parents were finally trapped and killed by demon assassins from Kahoku's family. At that point, May decided to stop running. Using her parents' weapons (mother's shotgun, father's bow and arrow, and her own daggers), she hunted down Kahoku's killers one by one; they were her first kills. Soon after, she joined Yushi no Yami. Her primary target is still the family of her father, the Aitan, but she has not heard a trace of them since she killed the murderers.

Oh god, can't anyone take me seriously...?

DJ Prof. DM, If you can't take me seriously and add a description and work a little harder on your bio, you're out. I'm giving you the chance to edit. Aside form that, everyone else is in.

Also, terra recently PMed me asking about being a demon and starting her own business. Sure terra, you can do that. However, I would like the human characters to be divided equally among the businesses.
We have 5 humans (or 4 if DJ Prof. DM is out)
I only want 2 humans max in each business. So make your choice carefully. If you can't decide, then I will.

Remember demon characters, the reason I had you send me post samples is cause I expect you to work at this. You're the ones who run the businesses. If you want, you can send yourself on missions independently, or you can work with other businesses on assignments. It's up to you.

I'll be adding my signup soon, hopefully.

EDITED AS OF SEPT. 5

Ok, I have just checked all of the extra info added to people's signups, and I would like to make the following points.

First of all, DJ Prof. DM, thanks for changing your signup, you're in.

Secondly, terra has decided to work for Yushi No Yami (oh, by the way ULX, that's "Shadow of Hero", you got it backwards.) rather than start her own business, that is fine, and so we can keep the setup as it is. No one has to change businesses.

Third, I'm adding my signup below, and will probably start the RP this weekend. Thanks to all who joined, if you have any questions, PM me.

Name: Roman Cage
Age: 25
Description: Long brown hair tied back in a ponytail, light skin, 6'2", small sunglasses, large brown trenchcoat and gloves, dark pants and boots.
Business: Devil May Cry
Weapons:
metal claws concealed under the wrists of the coat,
Z-M Weapons LR-300 series assault rifle,
large pipe bombs,
"Nightmare Zeta" A large, black rocket launcher-like device which is actually organic and is said to have been crafted in the demon world from the knowledge of a giant weapon like being known as "Nightmare".
Devil Trigger: One of Roman's abnormalities is that he usually keeps his right hand tucked into his coat, and when he reveals it, it is mangled and pale, indicating a heavy loss of blood, when he initiates his Devil trigger, the reason for this becomes clear.
Roman is a werewolf, or at least the closest description of one, when he goes into Devil Trigger, his muscles bulge and he grows dark black and blue fur all over his body, he gains supereior strength to that of any human being, and is able to jump so high it is practically flight, as well as large claws and fangs which replace his usual weapons. He is unable to use firearms in this state, but he is able to close in on his prey quickly, and either crush them with superior strength in his claws, or bite off large chunks of flesh at a time, eventually resulting in death by anemia, or the servere irreperable damage of a vital organ dealt by the fangs. In any case, Roman is no longer his cool, relaxed self, but rather a bloodthirsty animal who stops at nothing to feed and elimitate his prey as quickly and painfully as possible. The abnormality of this Devil Trigger lies in the fact that Roman has to have suffered servere damage in order to initiate the bloodlust. To that end, he simply bites down on his right hand as hard as possible in order to activate the trigger.
Bio: Roman was originally born into a poor European family, but they died shortly after his birth, and he was infected with a strange disease that had claimed the lives of most of the people in his village. However, he was able to grow under less than tolerable living conditions, and was sometimes forced to eat the dead bodies of those he once knew in order to survive. He had managed to leave his village and find another family to adopt him, but shortly afterwards the disease hit, and he nearly died.
However, a strange being came to him one night, saying that the village he had come from had died completely, and that his destiny was to rebuild his heritage, he was asked if he would accept the responsibility, he did, and without knowing what had happened, he was knocked out, and woke up the next morning in perfect health. His new family took him to America, where he lived happily and was properly schooled, until one day, he was involved in a construction accident while walking back from school, and was impaled by a steel beam. However, he got up, blood dripping from his chest, and, without knowing what he was doing, bit into his friend's neck. Both parties survived, but Roman ran away from home, wondering what his existence really meant.
Many years later, he continued to wander the streets around the country, and found a way to control his abilities. He began to understand the nature of his heritage, and also understood that the demon world was to blame for the death of his village. Now, he searches for a way to get closer to the demon world, and that is how he found Devil May Cry, and it's proprietor, Dante...

Ok, see you all on the weekend! If I have anything more to say I will either add it here, or PM you.
