Personality

- Personality:

Renzo is an extremely carefree and laid-back individual and it's shown that he doesn't act as serious as others would in serious situations but yet has a fear of many things, mainly bugs. He is also very friendly to people, able to befriend those with dark hearts if he wanted to. His personality seems to that of a quirky joker, popping out jokes at the most inappropriate times which often leads to a comedic reaction from him or his peers, or better yet, both. He seems to also carry a slight streak of vanity, calling himself the "Epitome of Cool".

Being the youngest out of his siblings, he feels less obligated to hold responsibility which is essentially the reason for his carefree persona. Renzo is very casual, even to superiors who may be considered sagely older than he is, even to where he would playfully mock them or tease them. Besides that, there's nothing truly special about this boy besides the fact that he can be quite annoying at times. The only time he's very serious is when he's given a job of exorcising a demon from his family, which usually ends up with him doing it mercilessly.

Renzo doesn't give a shit. He will never give a shit. And will forever, never give a shit. Just kidding, he does give a shit - mostly about his job - but he will defend his friends with all he has.

Natural Attributes & Supernatural Powers

Natural Attributes:

K'rik Staff Practitioner: Renzo, due to his early training as an demon exorcist and being required to fight demons in the case of offense, has learned to efficiently uphold battles with his staff. He seems to also incorporate the aspects of acrobats in it such as pushing himself off the ground with the staff in order to give him a temporary burst. He's capable of twirling it aroung, swinging and jabbing opponents with it like any other expert staff fighters or practitioners.

Enhanced Memory: Renzo seems to have been blessed with the gift of a heightened sense of memory, able to photographically memorize anything he sees whether it involves literature/texts, mathematics/arithmetic, or a large geographical/topographical map. This natural gift seems to make his reciting of the fatal verses much more fluent and accurate.

Supernatural Abilities:

Nullification Circle: By holding his K'rik vertically in front of him with the butt of it flat on the ground, pointing straight up, he is able to call upon the nullification circle by expanding his spiritual energy from himself, with the K'rik basically acting as his medium. The ability can expand from five meters up to around two hundred meters maximum, and his stamina reduces depending on the input of spiritual energy he puts (which concludes in a wider range). The nullification circle literally "locks down" all demons' abilities, rendering them unable to do much besides run. They are basically human in his circle. The circle however, can be broken if the balance of his K'rik staggers even just a bit. And the expansion of the circle can be prevented by stalling him. The technique doesn't require a lot of focus, just the will to actually exorcise the demons, and the ability to keep the K'rik as horizontal as he can (which isn't that tough with the amount of training he received).

Judgement Rattle: The rings hanging off of his K'rik isn't there just to look pretty. They are another set of mediums that can hold a fairly average amount of spiritual energy, and when they are charged, the color of the golden rings turn into a bright yellow. When ready, Renzo can easily swing the K'rik to throw out mini-projectiles of yellow energy that hurts like a bullet piercing through the skin. Due to his affinity of holyness, it's much more effective against demons, resulting in an actual explosion upon contact. Renzo prefers to not use this method since it's highly destructive if misfired, ending in some catastrophic atmosphere of destroyed buildings and the like. The "rattles" seem to be designed to more-so hurt others than to kill others.

The Holy Goblet: Renzo can create a barrier of spiritual energy of holy affinity to shield himself from attacks whether they are physical or spiritual themselves. The barrier has a radius of five to twenty meters, able to protect not only himself but also people that are within that vicinity. The barrier is a repellent to demonic abilities, nullifying any of their attacks. It can easily break however, from attacks that are not demonic and stronger than what the barrier can withstand. It is cast by him holding his K'rik up high, pointing skyward.

Fatal Verses: Renzo's family of demon exorcists use a complicated literature system called the fatal verses, where simply reciting holy verses can eliminate any demonic being whether they are incredibly powerful or not in terms of physical prowess or mental prowess. The way this works is again, complex, and with the addition of memorizing all the verses make this very hard. Even though these fatal verses are a gift passed down from his family, Renzo is the only one in his own group that can actually recite these proficiently. The verses vary differently with each other, some more specialized in exorcising particular demons rather than the whole of demons itself. The ability to identify a certain demon's fatal verse is highly important to those that use the fatal verses as their primary weapon. It seems to be that the stronger the demon it is, the more reciting of holy verses it requires to completely eliminate the demon.

• First Verse (Basic Form): "Thou shalt not be rampant and hunting, only purged with the fall from Jacob's Ladder." The most simplest verse there is, capable of destroying demons that are very weak (usually a tiny familiar or something). It can slightly hurt low-average leveled demons. Higher-leveled demons are generally immune to the fatality of this verse, but they are still able to feel the purpose of it.
  
• Second Verse (Basic Form): "Thou shalt cease to exist. The holy goblet, golden chains, from Goliath's death." The 'binding' form of the first verse, providing the same fatality rules and criteria but initially putting them in a holy goblet, then binding them in golden chains before meeting their end. The goblet and the chains itself don't actually exist, but he alters their perceptions to feel and think that they are that way.
  
• Final Verse (Satanic Form): "Kingdoms of Earth, sing to God in the presence of heaven, venerable heaven, praises to the Lord. We drive you from us, whoever you may be, unclean spirits, all satanic powers, all infernal invaders, all wicked legions, assemblies and sects... ... Thus, cursed dragon, and you, diabolical legions, we adjure you... stop deceiving human creatures and pouring out to them the poison of eternal damnation... Be gone, Satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man's salvation... Stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God; tremble and flee when we invoke the Holy and terrible Name... which causes hell to tremble... From the snares of the devil, Deliver us, O Lord. That Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty, We beseech Thee to hear us." The most powerful verse of all times, capable of repelling and eliminating the beast that is Satan himself. The downside of this verse is that it takes a long, long time to recite despite his memorization of it. This verse only - ONLY - works against the monstrosity that is Satan. This was designed and created by Renzo himself during his studies.

Background History

- Background: Renzo was born into a family of demon exorcists, thereby having to train practically his entire life for what he does now; hunting demons. His mother died when Renzo was five from an attack of a demon. The boy didn't know about this until he was twelve, the time he finally decided to uphold his resolve to kill the monster, Satan. His training throughout his entire life made him out to be a very strong person, resolute and determined to finish the job, and to also please his family. The boy was never the social type when it came to people, having to focus on his training more than trying to make friends.

At the age of 15, he became a highly professional demon exorcist, ranging the highest for his age on the kill streak of demons. Despite him being praised by others for the achievements that he earned, the only thing that he worried about was never finding Satan. It wasn't later during the year he learned the existence of Satan's half-demon child, Rin, and with obvious intent decided to take on the job of hunting the boy down. If the boy was an offspring of a monster like Satan, then the boy would obviously be a monster. And with that mindset, he went off to search for him - to kill him.
