PersonalityKevin is a very no-nonsense, no having fun guy. He's very consumed by his work and his goals and doesn't really know how to kick back enough, and the high stress life he lives can really show! He does have his vices, and moments where his facade slips, but he's always ashamed to show it.
Magic User StatusMonk (Previously Artificier)
Powers/SkillsBefore awakening, he was a mediocre demon summoner who used artifacts and rituals to summon demons

Post awakening, his power is to "give commands." He can command a demon (or an ally) to attack a target, and he can choose whether they'll be forcibly compelled to do so, or if he just gives his target a portion of his own magical power to strengthen them while performing the action (i.e, increasing the strength of an ally, so long as they use that strength for a specific task). This ability also works on non-living objects, but this takes a more significant amount of magical power. The commands don't necessarily need to be things the target is normally capable of doing, making this power incredibly versatile.

 

Biography

Even if you do not awaken as a magic user, that doesn't necessarily make you incapable of magic. A form of "beginner" magic exists, known as Artificing. Artificiers supplement their own natural lack of magical abilities by using artifacts created by others, and ritualistic arts created by awakened enchanters. As it stands, there is a very powerful art used for summoning, binding, dealing with, and banishing demons. This branch of artificing known as demonology began as the creation of one enchanter, and was then added on to by further more enchanters until thee very art of demonology became a powerful nexus of generational and ancient magic that permeates all of reality. And anyone aware of these rules can potentially tap into this magic and use its power.

Kevin, at a young age, was always very jealous of magic users who held power far beyond his own, and vowed that one day he'd awaken as a magic user. He'd spend hours in his room focusing on small objects, trying to control them telekinetically. He poured through tomes that detailed awakenings of famous magic users and tried to recreate them. Eventually, he settled on trying to use the art of Demonology to his ends. He summoned demons for all sorts of reasons, from running errands, to powering his home, to even supplying him with magically-created HRT. In a sense, he was hoping that by risking his life with such a dangerous craft, he'd eventually be backed into a corner and awaken. He did certainly have a near death experience or two, including one time when he was temporarily possessed by a demon, which is why he has horns and red eyes.

One fateful day, however, he tried to summon a foocubus, specifically aiming for a relatively weak one. Instead, he got a demon who was only 1/4 foocubus, and far more powerful than he was expecting. This demon, known as Amvira, was quite surprised to find herself on Earth, but took no hesitation in easily breaking Kevin's salt circles, and brushing off his futile attempts at banishment. Amvira, quite pissed but not willing to start anything and risk the new oppurtunity she received, stole all of Kevin's soda and started a new life for herself.

This didn't end up dissuading Kevin, who continued to work ever harder on his craft over the next 3 years, whereupon Amvira returned, feeling nostalgic for the day she was summoned. She thanked Kevin (by buying him a 12 pack of Bup) and even managed to help Kevin, after so many years, finally awaken as a magic user, saving him from self-destruction.


Trivia

In-Game Fighting Style

  • Kevin came out to his parents as trans when he was kinda young, maybe 10 or so, and he hadn't chosen a new name for himself yet. His parents were IMMEDIATELY accepting and just started calling him Kevin. He really wanted to find a name for himself but Kevin stuck and he's like "whatever fine"
  • He can quit drinking Bup! whenever he wants! He's serious, you guys!

Kevin is primarily a summoner, who uses bound demons to fight. He has a wider variety of summons compared to most other summoners, and as such can be quite versatile as a character. Unlike other summoners, he's also not that weak on his own.
