IC:

Character name: Lute, or Prince Lute of Sforzando, or maybe even Lute Sforzando if you wanted to give him a last name.
Fandom: Violinist of Hameln (original manga series)
Timeline: End of series.
Age: Physically 15, chronologically about 30ish.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: There's a long list....

Lute is considered the strongest human mage the world has ever seen. There is little he can't do. In fact he is shown as being able to learn new kinds of magic, some lost for centuries rather effortlessly. There is only one thing he can't do, and that is healing magic. Healing magic is a skill that belongs only to the females of the Sforzando Royal Family.

The things he can do are some of the following, though not limited to these; fly, teleport, create bird shikigami, create barriers, create seals, expel great amounts of magical energy, transmutation and illusion magic, controle at least the four elements (water, fire, earth, air), enhanced strength, enhanced speed, the ability to move his body even when his soul has been removed, sense evil, sense demons through complicated enchanted disguises, live through things that would kill anyone else (being stabbed through like 40 times, though this is common in this manga.), learn any magic given the chance (but healing), and is considered a genius, especially when it comes to magic.

Really if one can think of it and it is magical he can do it and is probably proficient at it. What he doesn't know he can learn and is described as closer to a demon than human in his magical ability.

How would they use their abilities?:
Only for good! He is a Hero type and only uses his abilities for the good of others. Either to defend against enemies, exterminate demons attacking civilians or to make fun illusions to cheer up children.

However despite that he does love learning it, and demonstrating it and is accident prone. (VOH is a gag manga after all) and is prone to accidentally casting heavy spells on people unsuspecting... (and almost killing them....) but nothing too bad should happen....

Appearance: Lute is a young man with black (sometimes blue) hair, blue eyes and a big smile. He's a medium height (though he had room to grow) and tends to wear white and blue.



Background/Personality:
Lute is very sweet and has been described as innocent and naive. He is very strong in his will and desperately protects the people he loves, mostly his sister and mother. He has a tendency to keep his personal issues to himself (such as when he is hurt, or worried about something) this is so no one will have to worry about him. When he is defending those he loves he can become something akin to a demon. His tactics are quick and calculating and delivered without hesitance. He will risk every part of himself in order to win and protect those around him, as their lives are always worth more than his own. At the same time he's a bit ditsy when it comes to using powerful magic during inappropriate times. He has accidentally harmed his advisers before due to this and his little sister. Usually this is only a problem when he becomes enthusiastic.

In general Lute is an optimistic, bright and generous person with a big heart who just wants everyone around him to be safe and happy.

When Lute was 15 and his sister just recently born the mazoku attacked his country of Sforzando. He went out to fight the armies as the high priest and commander of the magic battalion. During his fight he takes down one hell king, kills one of their high commanders and almost kills the leader of the entire army Bass. But sadly Lute fell into his trap which was to obtain Lutes body and magical power to replace his. They perform the Holy Grail on him, removing his soul and making the body a puppet for his use. Amazingly enough though, while in a soulless state Lute, with his arms crushed and his legs broken his eyes stabbed manages to save his sister Flute from being killed, sending her back to her mother.

Lute spends 15 years as Bass' body, unable to do anything against the demon kings will. Every so often he manages small things, for example restraining Drum in a battle with Clari, and occasionally cries when he is sad. During the final battle Flute and Clari go to confront Bass, Clari intends to rescue Lute and return his soul, but in the process is so badly hurt he's close to death. Bass had planned for this since he had nearly used up all the life energy Lute had left and wanted to switch over to Flute as his new body. Clari, his advanced guard Queen horn's spirit, and Flute together manage to recover Lutes soul and get it back into him. At this point Flute has had all her limbs broken and her vocal cords cut, and Clari has had an arm and a leg disintegrated. Lute having finally recovered himself, destroys the rest of Bass' solders and then Bass himself with his finishing move Megiddo Flame. Once Bass was finally finished he sacrificed the remainder of his life energy to heal Flute and restore Clari's limbs. This causes his body to disintegrate since it had spent so much time as a mazoku.

Have you read up on how the game works?: There are missions, freelance, or mooching off others for work. The plug in is called FlamingFerret.

1st person sample:
[The guide pops on and an extreme close up of a bright blue eyes and a smiling young boys face can be seen.]

Why hello there!

[He pulls it back a bit to wave.]

This is a lot different from what I'm used to using, but it seems simple enough to get the hang of.

[There's a jolt and the guide is almost dropped. In the background there's a yell of "watch where you're going!" a quick apology.]

I guess I should pay more attention to where I'm going.... Oh! That looks like a good place to sit down.

[He stops talking as he walks over to the small park area he was passing.]

From what I understand all the other refuges use this, right? Well I better introduce myself as a new member then!

[He clears his throat a bit and holds the guide out a bit.]

My name is Lute, I used to be the First Prince of Sforzando! Well I guess I could still be that? It's a bit confusing.... I really love magic and traveling, especially studying magic! Um....

[He seems to be thinking for other stuff to say.]

What else makes a good introductions... Oh!

I used to be dead, but it seems I got better!

[He raises a hand to the back of his head and starts laughing.]

I never knew you could get better from that. But from what I understand improbable impossible? things happen here! Either way I'm glad to be here with you all!

3rd person sample:

Lute had to go through the line multiple times, mostly because he forgot a few papers, or dropped a few and when he went to pick them up they rejected him. A number of times he let others go first, it was the polite thing to do after all and he wasn't in a hurry.

He spent most of his time trying to come to term with his current situation. That situation was being alive. He had clearly remembered his death, Flute and Clari had been there, he had been able to see them one last time... only now he was here on this ship. Others might be more bothered by this, but Lute? It was mostly just a change of perspective. His worries were less 'How am I alive?' and more 'What is needed of me?'. Either way he was here, he had some papers to fill out and a place to explore!

When everything was properly filled out he had nearly forgotten the guide and towel, it had taken three calls before he had noticed he had walked off without it. Really everything was becoming more exciting by the minute. It was exiting enough that he didn't even have time to think about what happened to his world, to his left behind family....
