**Race**: Human/Pure Kemiya

**Character Info:** Musica is a very calm and relaxed person in his approach to life, but quite often feels great depression and despair. He can be quick to anger but that doesn't happen often but he hates Racists and bullies. He knows the periodic table inside and out and is quick witted in times of battle. He considers himself a charmer with the ladies. Since he is a Silver Kemiya, he is conditioned for combat and will never run from a challenging a fight, even if he is wounded severely he will still fight on. His skills are considered to be among the highest of all Kemiya’s in the world. He could lose interest if he is not challenged. If wounded severely and with correct medical attention, his body can heal almost any wound in less than 48 hours. He prefers to keep to himself but will talk with anyone if he finds them interesting, or at least interested in him. He doesn't believe in god but respects his creations and will not damage anything god has made. He doesn't like to get attached to friends and prefers flings with women rather than pursue a relationship no matter how good it may seem. Musica carries a huge amount of baggage, considering he killed the only woman he ever loved and has yet to completely accept his life, constantly wishing it had of turned out differently for him. All in all, Musica is basically a dead man walking with only one reason to even exist, the promise he made to Reina. In between training Musica likes to either eat, drink, relax or play tunes on his guitar but nothing truly satisfies him

**Theme Tune**: Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

**Powers**:

**Silver Manipulation**:

He can manipulate a piece of silver around his neck into almost any shape or form he desires as long as its not too big or small due to the alchemic symbol of silver on the back of his right hand. This `Personal Piece` is considered unbreakable due to his power of control. He can maintain focus on a maximum of 2 different silver pieces by touch, or one silver piece though sight and make it near unbreakable by magical or physical means unless the touch or focus are broken, or if a force over 65 tons is applied. He can’t make his silver into any mechanical weapon or any object that requires non silver components like a lighter

**Silver Creation**: He can also create Silver from all forms of matter, solid or gas, due to the transmutation circles on his palms. Metals are the easiest forms of matter to transmutate and control.

**Soul Sensing/Feeling**: Musica can sense the souls of other people to tell if they are weak or strong. He can sense other magic users and other Kemiya’s. This unique ability allows a Kemiya to find his destined apprentice, one who has a dormant Kemiya ability. Musica has advanced his ability to be able to see into a person's soul, feel their emotion's in a very deep level, but not thoughts and he cannot manipulate the emotions of others.

**Total Control Darkness**: Musica has the ability to give up control of his body to his inner darkness, but due to his practice he is able to maintain control of his body and still be granted an increase in power and abilities like short range Teleportation and Spiritual Energy blasts. In this form he can also ignore all wounds given to him and is temporarily immune from telepathy

**Silver Bond**: Musica can perform a rare technique, when 2 Silver Kemiya’s join hands and place their hearts together. They can create a powerful and destructive shockwave capable of demolishing a 4 story building. Musica can perform this attack alone due to his bond with Reina but can take a lot out of him

**Other Powers**: Like all Kemiya’s Musica can use alchemy not only to create and manipulate Silver but to break apart almost any solid material by severing the molecular bonds. Musica can also exhert his spiritual power in the area around him. Those near him will feel a great pressure on their bodies making it hard to breathe or even stand. This is mainly used as an intimidation tactic as it is not painful, just uncomfortable. Musica can also put his spiritual power into his silver and use it to cut through solids and even liquids at distance or even break solid materials apart.  When Musica touches any man made solid material he can instantly tell its elemental make up.

**Fighting Style:** Musica's Nodachi gives him a bit of extra reach, meaning he can maintain distance while his opponents would have to take a step forward to attack him, giving Musica a second or two to plan a defence and counter attack. Musica prefers to let his opponents attack, that then allow him to make quick and deadly counter attacks making sure his opponents sword doesn't get within his 'box'. Musica is one of the few Kemiya’s who have mastered form 6, using flashy moves and steps without leaving openings in his defence. He has also mastered Form 7, using powerful attacks against non Kemiya opponents such as Silver cut and Silver Bond

**History**

**Childhood**

Musica was born with one brother in Miami Florida. His father was a business man who owned several Miami Clubs. When a few shady deals made by his father went south, with a man named Lawrence his father, brother and mother were killed. Musica was only 9, playing hide and seek with his brother as he was hidden in the closet. He saw the whole thing happen, right in front of him. A man was passing by on the street. He saw Lawrence's men leaving the house and came in to see what had happened. The police were called as Musica was about to be taken into Foster care. It happened to be the same man who helped him...named Raymond

**Becoming a Kemiya**

Raymond taught Musica about Silver Kemiya and trained him. When Musica was 15 Raymond died of cancer, before his training was complete. But his skills were developed enough for vengeance. Musica single handily took down Lawrence’s crew and had Lawrence at his mercy but chose to let him live, who was arrested soon after. After Musica had learned alchemy he learnt about Human transmutation. Musica attempted to revive his mother but failed and ended up creating something else. Musica travelled north and met a man, capable of making chimeras by blending two species together into one. Until Musica learned he had made his own wife and child into talking Chimera's. Musica was sickened by this and killed him and the chimera his daughter had become out of mercy.

**The Love of his life**

At 16 Musica went to Washington DC where he met a girl much like himself, a silver Kemiya and a beautiful one at that named Reina. They met and fought for 3 hours until they were too exhausted to continue, so they got to know each other instead. Musica fell in love with her at first sight but couldn't admit his feelings until later. Musica knew the rules of his lifestyle but both of them wanted to be together. They were confronted by a gold Kemiya and Reina was hurt. Reina's wounds were bad and she forced Musica to kill her and gain her silver. He took her head and her silver piece. Then in his rage Musica killed the Gold Kemiya using his new found Spear Rain ability. Feeling terrific grief and guilt, Musica buried Reina next to where she was killed then started to travel west, with anger and grief in his hand, making him reckless in his fights, earning him a lot of wounds, but had enough presence of mind to take advantage of his wounds

**The Life of Battles**

When Musica was 17 then travelled west and came to the Rockies looking for a Kemiya but found another one instead. Both men were looking for the same Kemiya and decided to settle the score the old fashioned way. Both men fought a hard battle but Musica was cut down the face. His opponent stood over him, ready to deal the killing blow but Musica avoided the stab and kicked his opponent over the edge and off the mountain. Musica managed to get into shelter and recovered before he decided to leave the Kemiya and get off the mountain. He travelled west to California and began to relax, partying a lot, drank a lot and even fought a few times, one fight taking place in Death Valley in the middle of July almost dying, not just from his wounds, but almost from thirst until he made it to a small town and was nursed back to health before he headed to Las Vegas

**The Darkness**

Musica travelled through central U.S, coming to Chicago in late 2004. Again, he was only interested in living his life in Reina's name, but conflict was never too far. His ease of training was beginning to takes its toll and once again was at the edge of defeat, until his darkness appeared. He went on a brief rampage, ending his opponent before he was able to regain control of himself. He headed south to Tennessee to deal with his inner darkness.

**The Punishment of Duty**

After close to a year of training, he finally conquered it and moved on with his life. He came to to New Orleans in August 2005, after hearing 3 Kemiya's had their spiritual power drained. He tracked down the source to a woman named Karen, a Pyschic vampire. Musica confronted her, intending to kill her but she revealed she was trying to restore her son's life and that she only used her power on other living things such as trees and animals.  Musica acknowledged her dilemma but killed her, knowing someday she would give in. Her son witnessed her death, but Musica, stricken with guilt, invited him to seek vengeance once he came of age. But Musica was caught in Hurricane Katrina. He made it through ok but not unscarred

**Gaining Strength**

Musica returned to New York in late 2005 when he was 19, taking out a few more Kemiya's along the way. He stole a Philosophers Stone from a museum, gaining a great boost in power because of it. But it  wasn't long before the stone broke due to its overuse. But the power Musica had gained from the stone had rubbed off on him, allowing him to retain most of the power he'd gained. After a few more skirmishes with Kemiya's and mutants in New York he once again came into conflict with his darker side, making unexpected appearances against Oliver Muller and Cameron Maurey. Eventually he was able to over come his darkness and has grown even stronger as a result.

**Failures and Successes**

After spending two years in New York, taking one 1 or 2 other Kemiya's, Musica faced his greatest challenge yet. The most powerful of all Kemiya, Maurice Soult came to New York in early 2006. After several attempts, Musica was soundly defeated by Maurice. After that battle Musica trained harder and managed to over come his darkness to a higher level and increased his power as a result. Musica's strength kept increasing. New York's popularity amongst Kemiya's was increasing, allowing greater competition for Musica, pushing his power up even further. One such Kemiya New York attracted was an old childhood friend of him, Cassidy Ashton, who had also become a Kemiya, much to Musica's horror

**The Travelling Man**

Musica moved on, deeper into Europe. He travelled to Paris, spending a bit of time in the city. A fight with another Kemiya under the Effiel tower got him arrested, but he managed to escape, despite his wounds. He moved unto London but didn't stay too long due to his dislike of the city itself. He spent 3 years travelling around Europe between 2006 and 2009. In Berlin, he met Sophia Curtis, engaging her, but Musica was forced to retreat due to her combination of melee and hand to hand tactics. Musica kept moving through Poland and Ukraine, ending up in Albania in 2008. A fight with another Kemiya, ended in a gun factory exploding in Gerdic. He moved unto Athens, during the time of the Greece riots.  In early 2009, Musica moved north and met Eliane Le Crouix in Bulgaria in 2009. He bedded the Kemiya thief as well before he decided to return to New York City in 2010. Musica found another challenge in the 4th strongest Kemiya in the world, Julia Moreau. Even after releasing his darkness he was beaten to a millimetre of his life. When the two met again, it was another notch for Musica's ever growing list of sexual conquests

**The Loyal Kemiya**

In 2011, At age 25 Musica was given a job by Maurice and left the States, arriving in Tangier, meeting Kemiya/Assasin Sophia Curtis again. It wasn't long before Musica bedded her but after travelling over Europe he ran into her again in Rome while he was pursung Shane Wiseman. After an incident where his darkness went out of control, Shane escaped again. Musica returned to Monaco where Sophia tracked him down, asking for his help with Chinese Triads. Musica and Sophia travelled to Beijing and were captured and tortured but they both escaped and threatened a triad boss to leave them be, all the while dealing with his own feelings for Sophia. Musica and Sophia returned to New York momentarily for Matthew and Cassidy's wedding. In 2013, Maurice sent Musica on his next assignment which was to find a program that could track Kemiya's. He travelled to South America, meeting up with Sophia again. He was captured by Kieran Stabler along with Sophia. They both managed to escape and destroy the tracking system, but Stabler managed to escape in a car, which then exploded. Musica and Sophia returned to Maurice, believing Stabler dead.

**The Rise and Fall of a Kemiya**

Musica returned to New York in 2014. Around the same time a young witch managed to seduce Maurice Soult, to gain control of him. Over time Maurice's decisions and actions became more and more erratic. He started to create Philosophers stones by sacrificing human lives, at first criminals then innocents. Musica, Bernard and several other Kemiya's, including Sophia Curtis confronted Maurice. Musica managed to kill the woman, but not before Maurice seriously injured Sophia Curtis. Seeing his weakness, Maurice left New York. During the fight itself Musica swallowed a Philosophers Stone and was then given control of the Kemiya Commodities Corporation and announced as Regent of Kemiya's. He was constantly challenged by Oliver Muller, who intended to weaken Musica and run him down in order to defeat him and take his place as Regent until Maurice's return. Maurice did return and cast Musica out for his stupidity at allowing such a thing to happen.

**The Kemiya Legacies**

Musica headed west across America. In 2014, Aspen, Colorado, Musica went on a hike when he spotted a man and a woman falling down a steep hill. He also saw a boy falling as well, but managed to catch him. Musica recognised the boy as his destined apprentice. Victor, accepted his training and began his brutal training in New Orleans for the next 5 years. Victor left Musica in 2019. Musica himself decided to head to New York but was asked by Maurice to leave. Musica travelled back to Europe, coming to France. Musica came to Paris, having many flings with young ladies, but he encountered KK05. Musica was able to hold off the Kemiya machine first due to his style but he was forced to use his Darkness and forced KK05 into the Seine River. Musica was exhausted and sent a warning to Maurice quickly after. Musica didn't wait around as he travelled to Amsterdam then further on to Germany before ending up in Turkey in late 2019. He came across several other Kemiya who in the process of training their own apprentices. Musica ended up getting to a fight with another Kemiya but was forced to kill him in eastern Turkey.

**Locked Down**

Musica decided to avoid Israel due to Bernard's presence. He headed east, coming to India in early 2020 but found himself confined to the country. Musica asked Maurice for help but there wasn't much Maurice was willing to do. Musica was in fact arrested after breaking a curfew enforced due to being drunk. Muscia was released quickly but was kept tabs on. Musica headed back west to Southern Pakistan illegally. and was injured in a suicide bombing in Quetta. Musica headed to Karachi, remaining there for a few weeks. He got himself smuggled out of the country, ending up in Qatar in mid 2020. He witnesses some horror due to the migrant worker situation but he decided to move on. Musica was desperate to get out of the middle east. He got himself unto an oil tanker heading to Iraq. He was almost arrested as a stow away when the ship docked. Musica pleaded with Maurice to help him but Maurice again refused. Musica stumbled across Iraq before he made it to Egypt in early 2021. Musica got into a fight another Kemiya near the Suez canal, just as the Ever Green tanker ran aground. Musica managed to kill his opponent and dumped him into the canal. Musica managed to escape but Maurice called, demanding to know if Musica caused the accident, but Musica denied it.

**Being a Kemiya again**

Musica was finally out of the middle east. He managed to get a flight back to the United States in mid 2021. Musica was furious with Maurice but Maurice was training his own apprentice and didn't have time for Musica. Musica headed south towards Mexico. On the way he got into a fight with Brock Keenan in Houston. Musica was challenged but was victorious until Bella Midnight came across them both. Bella beat Musica but it was a hell of a fight. Musica spent the next few days recovering before he travelled to Mexico City. He ran afoul of some drug cartel members, forcing him to move further south, then he fled to Jamaica in late 2021. Musica took a cruise back to Florida where he decided to visit his old neighbourhood. He decided to go to Morocco then to Spain. While at Gibraltar, he got himself into another fight but the Kemiya revealed her name to be Rachel Kane, a thought to be deceased Kemiya. Rachel explained she was in a coma for 5 years. Musica informed Maurice who was in turn surprised as well. Musica and Rachel spent a little time together before Musica headed to Italy in early 2022. There he came across Dominic Morris and engaged him, only be stopped by his friend, a witch. Musica threatened her until she told him she is Maurice's daughter. Musica called Maurice to confirm and was forced to leave them both. Musica travelled north to Venice in mid 2022 but continued on north through the Alps, trekking over the mountains before he came to Southern Germany. Musica encountered another Kemiya in the Black Forest. It was a hard fought battle but Musica recognised his opponent as a Shane Loyalist. Musica tortured him on Shane's location but he didn't give anything up. Musica contacted Maurice who ordered him to keep looking but Musica declined and headed north, coming to Stuttgart in mid 2023

**Unleashed again**

Musica was informed of Shane's location in Europe and his alliance with Barragan. Musica was also ordered to team up with Oliver Muller and Jenny Serov. Musica was furious at this idea but was forced to go along with it. The three and the other Kemiya's met Shane and Barragan at Bonn. Musica and Oliver engaged with Shane but Musica was shot in the chest and was seemingly killed. Musica then stood up, his eyes dark. He unleashed a tremendous amount of power and first attacked Shane, then Barragan, almost killing him until Shane intervened. Shane and Barragan retreated, but Musica turned his attention to some of the other Kemiya's, killing a few before he turned to Oliver, attacking him and almost killing him, until Musica managed to regain control. Musica was horrified and quickly left the City. He travelled to North Africa where he once again condusted the Animus Tractus ritual and made peace with his Darkness, achieving an even higher level of power, but he was haunted by what he had become and what he could have done. It wasn't until Oliver arrived and convinced him to return, surprised by Oliver's admission of respect
