Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities:Agni’s right hand has been blessed by the Goddess Kali. It grants him superhuman fighting ability, with increased strength, speed, agility, and durability. He has been shown as able to defeat many human men of greater size/normal strength than himself quickly and easily when using the Goddess-Granted powers, and was able to stalemate the demon Sebastian Michalis, causing Ciel and others to speculate if he is even human. When Soma saves Agni from execution, he declares that he has heard Angi has the strength of a beast, and declares he wants Agni for a bodyguard and sparring partner. So, we know that Agni was an exceptional fighter already. But, we assume his blessings enhanced his natural talent. Agni’s right hand is wrapped in white linen bandages, which he tears off when he is cooking, or enters Samadhi.
In addition, Agni can also reach the state of Samadhi. In the anime, this state is illustrated by Agni glowing blue. When he gets near or is in Samadhi, Agni is shown to cry blood tears. Since Angi can fight at superhuman levels without glowing blue, we know that this is a heightened trance that he goes into beyond his usual exceptional fighting skills. In Hinduism, Samadhi is a meditative state that accompanies Yoga, where the person has complete control of their consciousness and physical body. In the Manga and Anime, this translates to Agni being able to control his body, and will it extreme acts of strength, speed, and agility. Agni’s fighting skills are above human abilities due to his Goddess Blessings, but Samadhi is different, a trance where he can access the Goddess fully and fight at his highest level possible with complete control over his mind and body. He can smash furniture and walls without injury to himself, and take down many people, even many supernatural beings, without any difficulty. Soma says that “When he gets like that no one can touch him.” Sebastian points out that Angi’s Samadhi comes from a state of love and trust in his master. He can only achieve Samadhi in the grip of a powerful emotion. But, even in the grip of those emotions, he can control whether or not he enters Samadhi.
By the standards of Siren’s port he will be formidable, but also defeat-able. One very important thing to note is that Agni is not violent. He’s gentle and mild, and only uses his fighting blessings in the service of Prince Soma. He will use his fighting ability only in the defense of others. He’s not aggressive, so fights will be rare and will need to be provoked. And, the only real way to provoke him is to threaten Soma or someone else he cares about. So, it’s not likely there will even be a lot of Agni fighting, but Permission Post will be available just in case.
Agni’s hand also grants him the ability to mix spices, and create the food of the gods; curry. It is said in canon that Angi’s curry is unmatched by any curry chef in the world. It is the true Curry of Kali, and cannot be matched. In his canon, this is considered his true power, even above that of fighting. Well, his world. But his curry should be enough to bring any curry fan to their knees, even in the Port.
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them?N/A
Weapons:Unless Agni’s abilities count as a weapon, none.
History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History:Agni / His Goddess(Kuro-verse Version)
Point in Canon:Black Butler Anime, Season 1 Episode 15, Immediately after the Curry Contest, it has been revealed to Soma that Agni was Blackmailed into 'betraying' him and that Agni was acting in what he believed was Soma's best interest all along.
Conditional: Brief summary of previous RP history:N/A
Character Personality:Agni is a kind and gentle young man, by nature. He is very spiritual, and very devoted to his religion and his Goddess. One of his favorite beliefs is that everyone has their own unique gifts and his talents, and Agni has a special way finding what each person’s talent is, putting it to good use, and making that person feel valued and welcome. He is respectful to those around him, and tries to treat everyone well.
Agni’s background with his father, leaving his place of privilege because he was disgusted by his father’s abuse of power and sensual excesses, points to someone with a strong moral compass, but who is also sensitive, and easily effected by the world around him. His devotion to Prince Soma after the Prince saved him from execution reveal the same sensitive and moral nature, and someone who is capable of being very moved and inspired by the actions of those around him, both for the positive and the negative.
Agni does have a history, and for some time he was a violent and dangerous person. However, since his rebirth at the hands of the Prince at his execution, he considers the person he was dead, and himself reborn as a new man. However, his kind and mild demeanor do suggest an attitude of penitence and a desire for atonement through helping others in his new life.
That’s not to say Agni always maintains his quiet and gentle attitude. He is still very passionate, and can be overcome with fits of ecstasy, rage, or anguish quite easily. He is rarely violent, and when he is it is almost always to protect someone else. His joy usually comes from seeing people he cares about do well, and his anguish usually comes from his own perceived failings. If Agni feels he has hurt someone wrongly, he is usually very adamant that he needs to serve some kind of penance, even if the person has forgiven him.
Even though Angi’s moods can be difficult to manage, he is basically-sweet natured and pleasant to have around.
Conditional: Personality development in previous game:N/A
Character Plans:I would like him to meet up with his canon-mates if at all possible. I expect he will end up as a cook and a bodyguard to someone, much like in his canon.
Appearance/PB:Agni is ethnically Indian. He dresses in simple garb from his home country. He has dark skin, blue eyes, and white hair. He's tall and broad shouldered, and keeps his Goddess-Blessed right hand bound in white wrappings. He'll be "played by" his own image from the Anime.
Writing Samples
First Person Sample[Agni appears on the screen, pressing his palms together and nodding politely. He’s standing in a kitchen in a newcomer apartment, and something is cooking on the stove behind him.]
Namaste!
Please forgive the intrusion. I am afraid that I am a newcomer here, and a bit lost. [His smile fades.] If you please, I am looking for someone very precious to me. I have been told that we are brought here one at a time, and that we are taken back at the same time we leave. Therefore, I should not worry about someone I left behind.
I believe the expression in your day is “Easier said than done.” Yes, I believe that fits.
But, I was also informed that other people from my home may be here. I am at a loss without my prince. If anyone has seen him, please let him know that I am looking for him. And if anyone knows me, or him, or has news of home, I would be grateful if you contacted me.
[He chews his lip for a moment.]
Hurry. Please?
[There is a gurgling sound as a pot appears to be boiling over.]
Third Person Sample“Prince Soma?” He tried to keep the fear out of his voice, but there was no answer. He spun around. He was in some kind of field with strange markings. What the markings were, he couldn’t say. He could feel the fear creep up on him. “My Prince?” his tone reached a panicked pitch.
Only a wretched wail and snarl from a creature Agni could only identify as a demon answered him. The thought that his Soma might be in the claws of the creature gripped him.“I’ll save you Prince Soma!”
He was on the creature in a flash. All creatures had pressure points, and Agni found the monster’s at all the joints he’d expect to find them. The Monster fell to the ground, incapacitated but not permanently harmed, as was Agni’s usual style.
But, where was his Prince? The realization the beast did not have him was beginning to form. The problem remained, though. If not here, where?
The monster began to drag itself to its feet, while Agni was turning, looking, calling out, and it sunk its teeth into the man’s leg, dragging him to the ground. Agni did not bother with the pressure points the second time. He ripped the bandages off his right hand, and with one blow the creature’s skull was smashed.
Agni stumbled, his leg bleeding freely. If Soma was indeed in this horrible place, surely he was in grave danger. He knew he had to carry on. Dragging his leg behind him, he made he way past the dead creature to the edge of the field.
The street was in decay, and deadly quiet. He caught some movement out of the corner of his eye, and he swung around towards it, ready to strike again.
“Where are we?” a voice called to him. It was a small, scared sounding voice. Agni let his hands drop to his sides.
“Forgive me, I do not know.” Agni made a slight bow. “I am looking for someone. Have you seen a young man, dressed like a Prince? This place is dangerous. I am afraid for him.”
“I haven’t seen anyone. And there was this monster…”
“It is gone now.” Agni said quickly. “Are you injured?” Agni reached down try to pull his torn pant leg to cover his still-bleeding wound. He did not want to frighten the poor person.
“No. I ran.”
“There could be more about. It isn’t safe. Come here.” Agni reached out his hand for his new companion to take.
There was a sigh. He did not know where to go, or what was safe. Well, he could protect this person, and maybe find his prince.
“These streets are dark, and are not safe. The field is lit. And, that’s where we arrived. Maybe someone else will arrive there. Maybe my Prince will. And I’ll protect you.”
The other newcomer smiled and squeezed Agni’s hand, and the two of them walked back to the baseball field.
