Appearance: Canti the Twin Blade... Once a normal character and not-so-hot. Now, he's the epitome of the burning blade. For your personal convenience, this section is divided into the real and the fake, the player and the character.
DAMON - He looks young, maybe a little too young to be striking out on his own, but he has to and that fact of life takes visible toll. He's a mechanic, Caucasian and wearing black jeans with some kind of thin short-sleever. His outward looks aren't everything. He has dark-red hair and intense brown eyes. Damon's expression for all the world to see is someone who's not afraid of a challenge, who can be funny or kick alot of ass. Inside, and maybe allowed for close friends only to see, he's in pain. Not literal pain, just the pain of loss and of living, misery that he ignores by not listening, by channeling all his focus on doing what he has to, or for something so reckless and over the top that all thought ceases for living in the moment. He's a runner, and he looks it. Not afraid, just very capable. Any time Damon's in a good mood, it's hard to get him down except by his own doing, and you can see that on his face. He's only tough because he has to. Not an act, but necessity.
CANTI - A rather sleek and versatile-looking character, say about 5'10" in height. A bit on the skinny side, but so what? His skin is a little tanned and his eyes are a little dead. Actually, they're alot dead, being these empty black pits instead of normal eyes. It's hard to get an expression with these, but you get the idea once you come to know him. Despite the eyes, Canti is somewhat handsome in a grim sort of way with his short black hair and sometimes-smirking face. He looks a bit evil, but that's the point of his character. That's the way he built it. Canti wears dark clothing, such as a black leather jacket with short sleeves and crimson-red pants. He has a flaming T-shirt that says "Endsville is burning..." on it. His feet are clad in brown snake-skin boots, completing the somewhat dark and dangerous look to him...or does it? No... There are a couple of other traits that would give someone pause when approaching him. First, there are the wings. Black raven-like wings that were once medium-sized and useless, but now larger and functional, enabling flight. This was kind of all part of the motif of Canti's design, following that of Cantido, God of Black Flames. This, however, was not originally suppose to include disturbing feature #2, the scar. On Canti's left arm, above the wrist, is a scar of apparent infection, or at least evidence of such prior. It is a vein-like formation that is a 'crack' in the character model, or exposure of whatever infiltrated him. It remains red like blood and sometimes glowing, as if breathing... It is not natural to The World.
Personality: On the surface, Canti is just like any player. Well, any player with a casual obsession to play out. He likes to engross himself in the character-type he has chosen, that of the burning savior of the damned, the infamous Canti of the Black Flames. His motto: "To burn is divine..." It's something he just likes to do to pass the time, organizing his thoughts or just not thinking at all. In truth, Canti is a reckless and foul-mouthed kind of guy. He's an asshole of his own kind, like Denis Leary or George Carlin. He won't hold back, but you've got to admit he's right about stuff. Canti despises censorship and people giving him hell on his vices. He can be an alright guy to pal around with, except he doesn't always like to pal around with people. To understand why, you have to get inside the head of his true self, Damon Fortis. His life is a bit messed up. Both his parents are dead and he supports himself with a job. He doesn't talk about it, doesn't like to talk about his life, and prefers to be on his own because if what life has thrown him. He makes exceptions, letting people in and such, but he likes them at arm's length, usually. He's not normal and he doesn't always like to deal with his issues. He likes to act, impulsively, instead of thinking things through, and he hates to lead. "Sometimes and impulsive act is the right one.", someone said to him once. He lives that way. Being himself is the only way he can handle life. Thinking ahead and worrying about the future only makes him brood. Any minute now, for some inconceivable reason, he could die and that would be that. So, given the knowledge of that fact, he would rather live the way he wants and screw the consequences than worry about what might be and how to deal with things down the line. That's Canti's way.

Hacks:
Character Edits - This is an awakening of Canti's physical characteristics. Before his change, Canti was given to have non-functional useless wings. Afterwhich, however, his raven-like wings are larger and capable of enabling flight. He can move at high velocities or hover in one place, and this is enhanced even greater when using Ap Do. Because this is break in physics in The World, he could 'fly' though water or sand, really. He also has an affinity for the elements of Darkness and Fire, meaning a high attack and defense in both. This, of course, leaves him naturally weaker to Water and Lightning. Finally, he has been...off and on...demonizing at the core, his infection acting as a corruption to himself and things around him due to the dark nature of it all. This tends to make him more dangerous as the spikes and claws do knife-damage according to level stats.
Darkness Flames - A black fire that spreads and seems to burn like fire, but is actually more of the life-consuming Darkness variety, tainting and corrupting whatever's hit with death itself. You can basically compare it with the similar move from Yu Yu Hakusho. As with what follows in the God of Black Flames motif, Canti projects this dark fire in mostly a flame-thrower-like attack, spreading it like you would a fiery napalm. This can also be fired in quick explosive bursts to save on power or a massive attack that uses up all his energy. The aura of darkness that manifests off of him can focus the blame flames as well, like the massive attack and concentration can keep it centered around him in a defensive kill-you sort of way. It is powered by his SP, as though it were a fuel tank for it, slowly decreasing through use (unless he burns it all up rapidly).
The Soul of Hell - During instances of extreme pressure, like when he's fighting for his life and the risks are piling higher with the chances of him losing ever increasing, a strange thing occurs with Canti. His perceptions mingle with a strange brown-red haze, one that has an effect on his mental state. This especially happens during times when he should be almost K.O.ed, but the effect tends to sharpen his wits, his style, and skills. Not that he suddenly becomes uber-strong or anything. It just cuts through all the crap and makes him more the devilish handler of blades that he is. This also enhances a type of sixth sense of his, which is possible in The World only because it's the interpretation of data. Doing this, he can simply know things because there are definite signs of it.
Demon Spikes - Maybe you've noticed that sometimes Canti has grown spikes on his body, especially when demonizing, and that they're razor sharp like his knives. An influx of the Twilight virus has caused a form of mutation within his character code, allowing for these originally appearance-based spikes to become viable weapons. Each one is launchable from his body, any part of it that a spike could conceivably eject from. These black things are quick and actually kind of quiet. They hit for damage equivalent to his current level dagger attacks, plus have the added feature of inflicting either Poison or Curse damage per hit (as opposed to a lasting bad status attack). In future, this could become stronger.
Vak Tattoo - "An...enhancement. An extra ability, if you will. It would allow you to absorb a small amount of energy from being hit by spells. Every ten or so hits would grant you the ability to cast PhaVak Rom once, for free. In addition, being hit by fire spells will restore a small amount of your SP." This ability is the result of an non-Twilight alteration to his character code. It shows as a tattoo of ten black dots on the inner part of Canti's right arm in a circle. Upon every dot being 'lit', the Vak symbol will appear, signifying that there is a PhaVak Rom spell in waiting. It then returns to the starting position after that spell is cast.
Vak Ray - "I can repurpose the damage ticks from a Vak Rom and tie them to a directed beam... I think something on the order of a level 2 spell should serve." This is a little ring with a red gem in it that fires off a heat ray to the tune of BiVak Rom's damage ticks. It's accurate and aimable, and gradually consumes SP, of course. This is a much simpler hacked device than the tattoo and has no real limitations in use, save for the ones that are Canti in nature.
THE WISH LIST>>>>>
What the hell does Canti want? Well, it has alot to do with hell. He's obsessed with fire and darkness and all that, so he'd want items of that nature, good and decent fiery Twin Blade stuff, and he's willing to bust his ass in half to try and get it. More particular ideas to come later.
THE STORY SO FAR>>>>>
I'll get to this later.
