Demien "Azure" Strail [WIP]

» Name: Demien Strail
» Titles: Azure
» Real Age: 19
» Age Appearance: 19
» Gender: Male

» Affiliation/Rank: Monsuta, Eden's Evolution

» Physical Appearance Description: Blue. Blue in his outfit. Blue in his hair and eyes. It's the color of hope and creativity. Whenever seeing it the boy felt sense of calm wash over his tiny form. So no surprises that most of the boy's wardrobe consist of the joyful color. Being it a pastel blue oversized hoodie, reminding clear blue summer's sky, or a blazer in tones dark as blueberries. A whole array of different shades linger through his closets and drawers, mix with reds, blacks and whites. That, paired off with the intense clear blue of Demien's eyes and dyed raven black hair has earned a nickname he is really found off, Azure.

In regards of the males body build one could say it's nothing but small and pettied. From slender fingers and thin arms to narrow waste and almost non-existing hips. The years boy has spent hating himself and surviving almost only on water, while aggressively exhausting his body at the same time has left marks he will maybe never be able to erase. As Azure's body, his face features are also sharp and thin, with a defined jawline, thin, but long nose and narrow lips, littered with small scars from constant biting, when feeling nervous or stressed. The most well noticed feature, though, are the males large, round eyes, almost shining in the color of deep, clear blue. For some they may grow cold as stone, while for others remind the unlimited open's of the sea. It's up to the person to tell what they see in them.

» Personality: Cold and uninterested at first, it is only a face expression. Behind it hides shy and awkward personality. He isn't a people person, very well enjoying being alone with a good book, hot cocoa and a lot of cookies. It doesn't mean the boy doesn't want to be around people, but he has no real understanding how to interact with them. Part of them are wild and loud, while others, as he himself, shut in their own little worlds and doesn't let anyone in so easily. And feeling as a huge burden to everyone already as being an utter scaredy cat Demien has too many emotional blocks for him to try getting to know anyone.

Azure is easily excitable. Be it a new book or a large event, he will get hyped weeks before time, stressing out more than most people would do. This links with the youngsters tendency to overthink almost everything and asume not only the worst, but oftenly the most impossible of things. It leads to most awkward of misunderstandings throughout the years, as well, as many missed opportunities. He assumes the worst and then being a coward he is the boy just decides to hide under the sheets and procrastinate.

And it seems like the boys personality is just made so the boy would self-destruct one or another day. He compares himself to anyone, seeing what they can do and thinking he will never be able to. Demien assumes people think only the worst of the boy and interact with him just out of pity. It brings his self-image to terrible lows, never being able to feel pleased about his looks for a long time.

» Likes: Studying, cooking, sweets, pain of exhaustion, warmth, sweaters, cute things, color blue

» Dislikes: Being compliment (while he likes it at the same time. It's a complicated situation, maybe involving someone having a slight praise kink.), cold, nothing to do, having a creative block, PDA



» History Demien is a child of 25th century. Born in America, a military focused family since the start of early 2000’s, he knew little of how the world was out there. Being the sixteenth, and probably the last, child of his long living father, the boy received some privileges his other siblings didn’t in the same time being bound by an extra pressure. He had to stay inside the mansions walls, guarded by dozens of people and highest quality security system money could and couldn’t buy. While his other siblings were almost forced to experience the world in its twisted ways, most of them pulled into the military or politics, he was kept like a fragile flower away from the cruelties and sin of outside. The Strail family wished for something untainted and pure to them and the youngest was meant to represent all of that.

Living locked up in a huge sky scraper wasn’t so bad. Azure’s parents provided their son with multiple teachers and mentors, which taught him simple academic subjects, as math and literature, to more complicated things, as morals and ethics. Things not valued that much by the rest of the family. Aside from that he too had an early training in developing his spiritual awareness, such it would be above the regular crowd. These were lessons involving meditation, mental and physical stamina training, as well as hour long exposures to high concentrations of different types of spiritual energies.

Sadly, no matter with how much work the boy was swamped or how hard he worked to please his teachers and parents, not once they acknowledged what the child had succeeded. In cold voices and almost blank eyes, void of any spark of life, they would simply listen to their child and then in whispers scold him for the slightest imperfections they would see in Demien’s actions or progress. His teachers weren’t better, asking always more and seemingly be never pleased with what he does. Obviously it created a sense of insecurity about himself, Azure learning to hate all and everything about his being. In his eyes his skills weren’t enough. His body was flawed and his existence was just a disappointment to the whole family. While his brothers and sisters got praises, achieved great things and were talked about, the boy listened from the side and wished he could be like them. He could be talented.

At age of ten Demien was old enough to go through the ascension ritual. The reason why he and his siblings were trained from the early years to hone and advance in their supernatural powers. Being a dangerous procedure, it had cripple two of the boy’s brothers and killed an uncle he never knew. Azure’s father said it was a gift given from Earth itself to assist humans in returning as the leading race. If one listened to the hushed conversations of the people around the complex, it was an old ritual acquired from some sorts of demon. The boy himself couldn’t care less, as he knew he would need to go through, he wants it or not. And why should he not want it, if there was a possibility of finally becoming a true family.

The ceremony was terrifying for a ten year old and even after nine years Azure still wakes up at nights in cold sweat, remembering the quite brutal process. Stripped down of everything, deprived from all senses, while still feeling the agonizing burn of the seal. How it filled his blood with heaviness of iron, but fire of an open flame. How his mind was filled with plethora of voices, all promising pain-less death and finally doing something useful to the world, if he just gave in and let go of the little self-control the boy had left. But Demien was stubborn. What was more, he was a coward. A coward, that feared his father more than death. He didn’t want to make their already wasted resources into even more inconveniences. Such, Azure pulled through and woke with exhausted body, almost divested mind and searing pain on his stomach. Towering over him was the tall figure of his father, uninterested stare skimming over the boy’s naked body. Azure managed a weak, hopeful smile with his last strengths. All he got back was silence.

Afterwards nothing much really changed. The ritual granted the boy mark of the Magician, which set the direction in how his powers would be advanced further on until he would reveal his own unique powers. The only notable change, asides from change in training schedule, was that Demien was finally let out of the house. He wasn’t quite sure what suddenly triggered this change in both of his parents, but he was well taught not to ask questions, when it came to his family.

It started with small trips to the mall. Parks and places where to relax and spend your time came next. And then one day the boy was thrown into a public school and that was when hell let loose. Azure didn’t like the kids too much and in return they didn’t feel any fond feelings for him. It was constant fighting and bullying, physical as well, as mental. His parents cared little, what destroyed the boy’s self-esteem until there was nothing left. He slipped in such a depression that it didn’t take long to reach a state where the only way to feel good about himself was to avoid eating for days sometimes and tire himself out until he couldn’t physically move.

It started to get better once starting high school. New environment and couple of over-friendly kids turned into a friendship Demien was lacking for way too long. He still can remember that very first sentence that made him speechless longer than it should, ”You have very pretty, blue eyes!”

Martin, Jisoo and Derek. Three boys with a track record of being the life of the party, centre of attention and focus of dozens of admirers. They were good looking, talented and nice. And they were Demien’s friends. What was a short chat in cafeteria time to time, changed into night long slumber parties as they grew closer. The boy’s depression started to lessen, even if his anorexia didn’t. He learned to smile more and fell in love with the colour blue, what his friends so much loved on him. All of them were wealthy family kids, so war and horrors, that the world experienced meanwhile didn’t really affect them. Azure, given nickname, as his real one wasn’t “cute” enough for the boy’s appearance by Martins words, continued his training at home. He still hadn’t revealed any specific or unique powers of his own, but had good grasp of Soul Sorcery, as well, as good affinity with mana and quick mind for the arcane in general. What was spells in the start, turned into potions and items as the time grew. Making such things both applied as training in the eyes of his parents, as well, as a creative outlet for all the pent up teenagers angst.

All good things must go to end and Demien should have known that from the very start. Once reaching age of nineteen, being in his last year of high-school, Azure was met with shocking news from his parents that they are sending him away. Simply put, he had been a disappointment they don’t want to see as part of the household. Such, given funds to last for few years, probably his parents way to cut all remaining responsibilities with the not-wanted child, he was arranged a one way trip out of America. That, in return, led him to Brazil and ended in joining the Monsuta just so he could find something to give purpose. That again led in indirectly meeting Adam and later on learning about Eden’s Evolution and fact they are recruiting there as well. If asking for a reasoning under all his actions, Azure couldn’t give you one. He was lost, a bit confused and definitely lonely.



» Equipment: -//-



» Skills:

• Spiritually aware: Demien doesn't know, if he was able to see spirits from birth, but as much, as the boy remembers himself, spirits have been part of the boys life. The extensive training in honing his spiritual gifts have made it sharpened and more sensitive then average.
  
  
• High tolerance to exhaustion: Overworking himself and exhausting all his strength is something Demien tends to do whenever he has a feeling he isn't good enough. And that happens often. But, being afraid to die, he knew that rest is needed as well, even if he didn't like it. This balance had made him be able to use each drop of energy his body had for day to day tasks, sometimes running without a rest for few days straight, thanks to the fact of having vast amounts of Soul Force to use.
  
  
• Creative Mind: Something most of his family used for political scheming and plotting, he utilized it in art, music and his magic. He has inspirational booms, in which brush just dances on the canvas or he spends days next to a cauldron, brewing something, while chanting incantations. But on the other end he also may have creative blocks, when, while the soul craves for the joy of making a new idea into reality, his mind can't come up with anything Azure would deem right.
  
  
• Magically Attuned Mind: Quick to study and gain grasp of things, magic is the subject he excels the most, both practically, as well, as theoretically. Maybe it was because from young age the boy was taught to love old fairy tales. Maybe it was from the news, that showed strong beings, fighting each other, as well, as accomplishing unimaginable feats. And just maybe it was because of his more then extraordinary family, where each and everyone held some degree of supernatural power. Nonetheless, this brought overjoyed excitement, when given first lesson of how to train his spiritual powers and it still brings joy, even if stress along, when picking up his book and knowing that one day he could be something great.
