❝ SHIT I’VE SAID WHILE PVPING: THE SEQUEL ❞

Back by not really popular demand, and because the first edition has been doing its rounds as of late: more stupidity, bad language, and                   an extra large shipment of salt.

❝ we can’t all be arms warriors and frost death knights, karen. ❞ 

❝ they’ve taken my insignia and my honor. ❞ 

❝ crossing the map in 5 seconds or your money back: Vengeance Demon Hunters™. ❞

❝ i made plays that last game. PLAYS. ❞

❝ joke’s on them: they put me in the graveyard but i’ve been dead for years. ❞ 

❝ life doesn’t revolve around killing blows. ❞ 

❝ i knocked them into the pit. they screamed. no one can help them now. ❞ 

❝ melee are cancelled. ❞

❝ casters are cancelled. ❞ 

❝ if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. ❞ 

❝ you know they’re top tier when they’ve got a bunch of toys on. ❞

❝ who would win: a highly talented player with a knowledge of crowd control and rotation or one keyboard-turning boi? ❞ 

❝ brb bio. ❞

❝ death is the only release. ❞

❝ alone at a base on a friday night? no problem. drain soul. ❞ 

❝ i did everything at once and they’re not dead. i’m extremely disappointed. ❞

❝ i wish i could see what they are saying right now. ❞ 

❝ is this my calling? is this what i’m meant to do with my life? ❞ 

❝ ugh ─ you know?! you know?? you know. ❞ 

❝ i don’t care. i don’t even care. ❞

❝ i care immensely. ❞ 

❝ look. look with your special eyes. ❞ 

❝ i came. i saw. i conquered. ❞ 

❝ may god have mercy on the man with the nerve to /spit on me. ❞ 

❝ it’s not true slaughter until you’re killing with friends. ❞

❝ okay, so here’s the plan: don’t die. ❞ 

❝ look, see? we’re bonding over murder and jumping in place. ❞

❝ kill me. ❞ 

❝ fuck me. ❞

❝ Yes. YES. YES!!!! ❞ 

❝ all these flavors and they chose to be salty. ❞

❝ i turned away for a second and now i’m dead. ❞

❝ demon hunters. ❞ 

❝ leave me alone. i’m busy. ❞ 

❝ everyone is dead to me. ❞

❝ if it’s red, it’s dead. ❞ 

❝ aw, leave them alone. they’re doing their best. ❞ 

❝ get absolutely deleted, my guy. ❞ 

❝ i dispell myself more than my healers do. ❞ 

❝ you are not forgiven. leave my presence. ❞

❝ these people are a disgrace to humanity. ❞ 

❝ not even this unlimited supply of mana buns can fill the void in my heart. ❞ 

❝ it’s over. ❞

❝ i killed them. i killed a warrior all on my own. ❞

❝ it’s the little victories that count here. ❞

❝ i feel more pride in my left foot than i do for my faction. ❞

❝ that was brutal. i loved it. ❞

❝ shit, i wasn’t paying attention. ❞

❝ go on ─ get out of here! shoo! ❞

❝ i’ve had more fun dead than i’ve had living. ❞

“You mean to tell me that not only did a demon get loose, but also that it was kept in a church basement for a solid week with little to no restraint while they were supposedly waiting for someone to ‘pick it up’ to handle a live demon? For research?! I’m sorry but someone’s gotta tell them that demons don’t work that way, that’s askin’ for trouble from the start.”

“Guess that’s a few extra bucks for me though...”

[ >> Partial Trigger ]

The state when a demon calls on its more extreme features such as claws, tail, horns, or wings. As Vanta’s typical state is what it is, a partial Trigger for him would be bringing his wings out. His own demonic appearance is considered baseline, with wings being a notch above on the ‘we’re screwed’ scale just under properly DTing and a few other measures. He typically brings his wings out for elevated movement capabilities.  The lower image has it shortened quite a bit, as his full wingspan is well over 15ft long.

Tfw sometimes Vanta and Vi just monster screech at for no goddamn reason

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

4: How do you get into your OC’s mindset to write for them? How do you find the muse for them? 16: What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?

Ask me about my OC! >> [Accepting]

[ Whenever I go to write for Vanta, I think of the deep lore of DMC and the world of demons we never really see much of. Because so much of his familial history is headcanon-based, if I start with that, I start slipping into the right sort of ‘state’ to do his replies and start working on him. Part of me associates the franchise with chillier weather for beating 4 back in winter when it came out, so that’s also factored in for DMC muse in general to start crawling back out. ]

[ For characters I write, he starts out pretty standard. Value the family you have right now. Value any friends. Value your life and where you live. But as a demon, I get to play with some of his morals and other factors he takes into account with anything he does, such as lack of emotion regarding topics like death and destruction of human property. He believes in keeping people safe, but doesn’t care about collateral when in combat, mostly because he knows he can pay it off and then make more for his financial safety net by selling off more of his goods. There’s a few more that might be a bit skewed, but they’re all Planned for the future. ]

  LITTLE BELL TOLLS IT’S PITCHED cacophony when the wooden doorframe hits it ,             Thus tired - slit gaze of the Half - Demon shifts ever so quick to the silhouette             standing ‘pon creaking treshold . CONTINOUS RINGING of the  bell is not at all             that of brother to her , for it drowns out dead & STILL silence that she so often found             deafening .  - - - BROWS RAISE in upmost curiosity , THOUGH there’s a hint of             HESITANCE that comes over her when THOUGHTS regarding the fellow’s             appearence / with their very MOTIVE included would cross her mind . - - henceforth             she KNEW not all that comes by came with   G O O D   I N T E N T  .    HER HEAD TURNS SLOW , clawed hands remain comfortably placed across worn down              desk counter , atop an old notebook of her very own . PALE LIPS PART ever so tenderly              as if FEW MUNDANE yet welcoming words would be sitting on the tip of her tongue ,              ready to escape her in it’s most usual tone & ways . - - TIRED & TEPID gaze measures              his frame for a mere minute if not two , SUCH would be time enough given for him to              make his QUERIES  - - - and each bulletting he’d spoke she would listen with an ODD ,              / maybe even UNEXPECTED  - / kind of INTEREST . No wonder ! she soon places              her elbows on the table as she observes intently - TILT HER HEAD TO THE SIDE              akin to a curious feline ever so SUBTLY .

    – “ This is my shop yes . “                  – “ But I mean it IS broad DAYLIGHT outside so I quite wonder ,                              How long it could’ve taken ya’ to get here without gettin’ stopped ,                                   at every corner ? “       – “ I like to believe I know this place like I know my PALM , so . Shoot . “

“Humans aren’t the most perceptive,” he states, almost plainly. He hated understating what they were capable of, what observations have been made before that would hearken back to the existence of the fantastical in much more modern, structured cities, but it was very much the truth. 

“Don’t bring attention to it and a little bit of demon magic, and all this disappears, as far as they’re aware. That’s how I got directions here the other night, actually. Jus’ looks like a collection of freckles to ‘em.”

It was no surprise the other could see this though; he’d found that his little ‘talent’ wouldn’t work on other inhuman beings. If her claws were anything to go by, the owner saw right through it. For a moment, he wondered if he should’ve announced his presence before waltzing in with glowing horns and scales down the ridges of his brows like this. A worry for another time however, as he got right down to his burning question.

“So,” the hunter begins, resting gloved hands on his hips, “First, has there been any... visitors, let’s call ‘em, that aren’t the usual fare?” That was probably the most important of any question he could ask; even if he didn’t know the exact location right away. Validating his stay here in this quaint, strange, frankly haunting town was Vanta’s priority, hoping to find the root of this so he could engage in whatever touristly business he wanted to before heading back to the city. “It already feels like there’s more than just human influence in this area, so I’m just makin’ sure.”

“-- Nice setup though,” he couldn’t help but add at the end.

At that, the Demon Lord actually burst out laughing. His chest heaved and they put a hand to their face. It was an unusual sight. But the words of the other has seemed to deeply amuse them. “You certainly make for an entertaining conversationalist, do you know that?”

Slowly, their laughter died down into a sigh, though their smiled remained. “But, unfortunately I’m all too familiar with the situations you speak of. I always tried to keep my missions planned and not have them rely too heavily on any one person. But, even with the most careful preparation, sometimes it only takes one person’s misadventures to bring down an entire team…” A guilty look came over the angel’s face for a moment, but was quickly ushered away with another smile. “Still, it is a… highly curious notion, humans becoming something else. I suppose it isn’t unheard of for myself, either. But it’s extremely rare.”

“Entertaining, but resourceful.” He flashes a smile and coughs into a fist, resting the arm in his jacket pocket as he shifted his weight once more. 

His shoulders raise in a shrug. “I dunno what you’re goin’ on about, but it sounds heavy. Trust me, if I opened up my closet right now, I don’t even wanna think about the skeletons that would fall outta there. Human, demon... whatever you are, no offence intended; we all got secrets in th’ past.” A snort runs through his nose as he croaks a dry laugh. “Either way, I knew a guy who became a demon. Nice kid, heart was in the right place, but he went and screwed himself over getting involved with the wrong people. But both vices and virtues can be someone’s downfall, regardless of intentions. And that’s why I keep this bottle on me at all times. If they have the element of surprise, so do I.”

[ Vanta’s only short by demon standards until you realize he’s technically crouching, then he straightens up and you see he’s at least 6′8 ]

Vanta warmup

“What a nice pet, mister!”

“ It’s spooky time “

“Possession to me implies something very different from the human themselves becoming a monster, though perhaps that’s just me. I have possessed other things. Never would I consider them as having become a demon because of it. It was always more… their own choices they caused the actual transformation. But I’m also not speaking of humans.

“Fair enough. I’d rather not find myself on the bad end of a cat-deterrent. You have nice wears. It would be a shame to damage them, no sarcasm at all.

“Besides,” the angel showed off their hooves, “technically, I am always on my toes.” They smirked.

“I’ve heard that one before. Seems that all it does it attract demons to the place though, I can’t get a break without wards up. People say ‘nice stuff’, but a demon’s gonna see their cousin and get mad enough to try to start breaking everything, and that’s a big ‘ol mess I don’t want to get into. Either way, if push comes to shove, I’ll be ready to use both the bottle and my own... talents.”

“One more remark like that though, and you’re gettin’ the five star ‘piss off’ treatment. It’s five bucks per pun in this establishment buddy. Starting now. First one’s free, but no guarantees.”

“Back to the actual subject at hand though-- humans becoming demons isn’t that common. Humans give into temptation, and often fall in the process, quite literally. Some of them land straight in hell for their actions, where they’ll become fodder ‘r something like that. Either way, it’s not a pretty situation when a rescue mission goes awry just because someone got a bit greedy...”

“Oh. Right… about that–”

“We’re actually on… well, not good terms, but we’re in agreement that neither one of us is going to kill the other, at the moment… but I’m curious. What did you find out that made you willing to hunt something like Lucifer?”

“That’s certainly one way to put it. Either way, Lucifer is kinda... asleep? I think that’d be the right way to describe what happened to him up here anyways, demons are always off making Devil Arms of themselves if you’re not careful. So that wouldn’t be all too accurate of a description. Maybe ‘Mundus’ would fit better, given my mother claimed Lucifer was rather kind.”

“Well, people grow and change, and elevate their hunts to be more comfortable taking on a literal god, so I’ve found myself more and more willing to go for a challenge. Although if you’d rather not, I won’t go after them.”
