Deep within a forgotten, uncharted realm of Earth lives a society of Demon Hunters that live the lives of normal humans whilst fighting demons around the world. It serves as a hub for anybody wishing to make a name for themselves as a Hunter, and attracts all manner of humans, angels, demons and many other ancient races. It even has a few people who are "hybrids", not wholly a human, these beings are granted with safe haven.
Stories of both new and old heroes echo throughout this community, but it is rare to find someone who does not know the poignant tale of the Dark Knight Sparda. He serves as the icon of all Demon Hunters, and all live by his code.
Introduction
This Roleplay has been inspired by the massively successful Capcom series Devil May Cry.
Every character in this story is a Demon Hunter, and use a variety of magical weapons (better known as Devil Arms) to fight against the demonic threat.
The most common race that populates this Earth, the Humans, are not the only people who hunt these terrible adversaries. Angels, Demons, even races of otherwise unknown existance, such as the secretive Elves or the brutish Golems, have taken up the blade to fight against those who would threaten their lives.
The races that Devil Hunters are are recorded here:
Humans: Whilst weak both physically and mentally, Humans possess pure hearts that grant them extraordinary abilities when combined with Devil Arms. They are the most common race on this Earth, making a Human Demon Hunter not uncommon.
Angels: Sent from the heavenly realms, Angels possess unique Devil Arms that make them the most effective magically against the Demonic forces. However, the fact that they are polar opposites to the Demons make them extraordinarily weak when fighting them for extended periods.
Demons: Upon a change of heart, a handful of the Demonic race decided, like Sparda, to take up the sword to fight against their brethren and protect the human race. These Demons, original creators of the Devil Arms, possess extraordinary knowledge on the weapons and thier usage. However, they sometimes find it difficult to fight what was once their kin.
Golems: Pure hulking masses of stone and whatever elements they are formed from, the Golems are Devil Arms in their own right, and need no weapons to fight agaisnt the demonic race. Whilst they are exceptionally powerful depending on the element they are formed from (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Shadow) they are limited in all other aspects, making their skills very specialised.
Elves: Exceptionally stealthy and masters of the arts of Assassination, the Elves are able to use Devil Arms with a finesse unseen in the other races. Masters of the bow, twin daggers and claw Devil Arms, it is uncommon to see an Elf stray from this path.
Devil Arms, whilst of unknown origin, show themselves to any Demon Hunter and appear to have their own personalities. They come in various forms.
Parasite Devil Arms are part of the user themselves, and as such grant them abilities which change their physical structure e.g. Claws, Wings. These are exceptionally powerful Devil Arms, but often wear the user out during extended periods of activation.
Weapon, or "Steel" Devil Arms take the form of any weapon known to man. Blades, Staves, anything is possible with these weapons. Steel Devil Arms are often element-specific, commanding a specific element and possessing abilities unique to that element.
Magic, or "Soul" Devil Arms, give the user complete command over a set of skills, such as magic mastery, or summoning. These Devil Arms are exceptionally powerful, and often drain from the life of the user.
(Please note that the Golem race are Devil Arms in their own right, and do not use any Devil Arms as such.)

Profiles:
Name: Kriztian Ashborne
Age: 18
Race: Half-demon
Bio: Kriztian’s parents had abandoned him as a small child, in a rough, crime-ridden area. For almost five years he fought desperately to survive, and it was in this period that developed his Sniper Eye style, though it was still the bare bones of the refined style he has today. Before becoming a Demon Hunter he had tried to settle down as a normal person, but constant Demon attacks forced him to abandon that life.
Appearance: Kriztian’s appearance is a young, tall male with boyish features. He stands at about five feet ten, and has alabaster skin. His eyes are a deep, chestnut brown and his hair is slightly darker brown, falling to the bottom of his neck. At his fringe, his hair falls down past his eyes, though he wears it usually over his right side. His uniform is a black and blood red leather trench coat, with matching shirt and trousers. He walks barefoot, and wears a chain belt over his waist.
Devil Arm: Sniper Eye
Style: Steel
Element: Wind
Appearance: Sniper Eye has two different forms.
The first, unactivated form is set of spikes that run down his left and right arms on elbow length gloves and on ankle guards the he wears.
When activated, the spikes extend, and the garments that they cover transform into gauntlets and greaves, with hollowed out sockets where the toes and fingerholes are.
Abilities: When activated, Sniper Eye acts as a sort of needle-gun. The sockets on the fingers and feet fire out sharp, black spines that bury themselves deep into the enemy on command. There is no limit to these spines, but they require large amounts of concentration in order to fire simultaeneous volleys. Additionally, these weapons act as traditional fighting gauntlets and greaves. Kriztian uses a combination of these to create a lethal method of attack which is the namesake of the Devil Arm.
