Faust Mephist

**Faust Mephist**, simply known as Faust, is a solo mage from the city-state of Alosna. He seeks to gather several of the devil slayer magics, in hopes of creating what he thinks will be the perfect devil slayer magic.

## Appearance

Faust is a very ordinary young man. He has black hair, gray eyes, and almost everything about him is just average. He stands at a fairly tall height, but even then he is not reallhy handsome, and has few redeeming qualities. He is considerably fit and toned, but he isn't particualrly handsome. However, his devil-may-care attitude, charisma and the way he dresses, which normally cosnists of rather fancy coats made of expensive skins and fabrics, give him that kind of charm that attracts people to him.

## Personality

Faust can best be described with the word irreverent. He'd not follow orders even if his life depended on it. He is kind of jerk, as he tends to disregard people, and make fun of those he thinks deserve it. He does not fear the consequences of his own actions, and more often than not sees himself thrust into a situation he cannot solve on his own because of this. To others, it might look like he cares about nothing but money and power, but the truth is this is only a kind of self-defense mechanism he has developed over the years, and it is exactly for this reason that he finds it hard to form longlasting, meaningful relationships and bonds with other people.

## Magic and Abilities

### Carbon Devil Slayer

This magic allows Faust to turn his skin into an extremely hard, and tough material known as graphene. In this form, not only does he gain partial immunity towards fire based attacks, thanks to graphene having one of the highest melting points, and the ability to conduct heat very efficiently, which allows him to evenly distribute the heat in a large area of his own body, making it difficult to heat his skin enough to burn him in a short time. The fatal weakness of this magic are electricity based attacks, as the same superconuctive nature of graphene that makes him almos mpervious to heat, can backfire on him as he cannot stop electricity from bypassing his defenses with ease. Aside from this, the Carbon Devil Slayer magic also gives him control over carbon and some of its derivative compounds, such as carbides, which he can use to create blades, lances or shields. The substance he uses the most for this purpose is tungsten carbide.

### Cell Redistribution

This is an extension of the Carbon Devil Slayer magic. It consists of using the carbon in one's one cells to freely move them around as needed, and it is mainly used for treating wounds and injuries. As its name implies, it redistributes them, it does not make new ones. Hence, it's a zero-sum ability. That is, if the user has one a hole burnt through one of his muscles, he can use existing muscle cells from other parts of his body to patch said hole up, and regain partial functionality of the muscle group.

Nevertheless, everytime he does this, the parts he borrowed said cells from suffer a permanent decline in performance until he can train and eat to rebuild the tissue. This kind of ability permanently shortens the user's own lifespan in the long run, as the borrowed cells are placed under too much stress, and their functional lifespan gets reduced. Faust can't use this ability in conjunction with Devil Slayer Magic with his current magic capacity.
