"Arrival of the Edgelord" roleplay session, March 25, 2022

## Appearance

Geist, otherwise known as Blackeye, is a typical height for a male, reaching 6 feet and 1 inch. He has pale skin, and his hair and eyes have been changed to different colors than they originally were by his magic, having both originally been brown, but now his hair is blueish-black (though some traces of the original color remain), and his eyes are magenta. He has three scars on his left cheek, and dark circles around his eyes which are actually unusual birthmarks. He wears a black cloak, dark gray pants with two black belts, one of which has a skull-shaped buckle, bright red fingerless gloves with spikes on the knuckles, and similar boots. His outfit lacks a shirt entirely. He is quite muscular.

## Personality

Geist is a complicated individual with a gloomy demeanor. While he typically veers away from lively social situations, deep down, he yearns for attention. He developed major trust issues at some point in his life, so he tends to deny or disregard offers of help, even when he knows he needs it. His overall intelligence is somewhat lacking, yet in terms of emotions, he is highly receptive of how others are feeling, and is rather sensitive himself. It used to be that he never questioned his own choices, but his self-confidence wavered after he came to the realization that in his pursuit for power, he had gone down a dangerous life path alongside a group of Time Breakers. There are a few people that he will speak openly with, but even then, he still remains wary.

## Abilities

* Techniques
* Transformations
* Fusions
* Equipment

* Ki - Geist is pretty used to using ki, so he's pretty good at it.
* Flight - Geist is easily capable of flight via ki.
* Magic - Saiyans don't normally have an aptitude for magic, but Geist, despite being an idiot, was able to learn it during his time as a Time Breaker.
* Dark Magic - Geist's specific affinity for magic leans toward the darker side, but he barely uses it for its true purpose. Mostly just to make his clothes and change the color of his eyes and hair.
* Demon Scythe - Geist creates purple crescent blades out of magic that pause in midair for a short time, and then fly in the direction they were aimed.
* Cursed Flames - Geist creates bright green lingering fire using his magic, which he can then cast towards his enemies.
	+ Spirit Flame - A variation on the Cursed Flames technique in which Geist conjures small purple flames which hover in mid-air until someone with hostile intent gets close enough, at which point the flames will rush towards the opponent and burst.
* Unholy Trident - Using magic, Geist creates a purple trident that can be thrown towards his enemies.
	+ Inferno Fork - A version of the Unholy Trident ability which, unlike its original version, can only be summoned one at a time, but is far more powerful and explodes on impact. Geist can only use this ability while transformed to either Super Saiyan God or Grimoire of Ruination.
* Shadowbeam - Geist fires off ki lasers that can bounce off walls towards his opponent.
* Lunar Flare - An unusual ki attack used by Geist that seems to rain from the sky. There is a slight delay before the cyan blasts come down, but once they do, they're surprisingly precise despite the distance they fall from.
* Last Prism - A technique only meant for desperate situations, it expends all but the very last drop of Geist's ki to first fire off six continuous beams of moderate strength, which then close together into a single immensely powerful compressed ki wave. He has only ever used this technique once when he was first learning it, and it left him unconscious for a week.
* Great Strength - As a standard saiyan, Geist is quite powerful in terms of pure strength.
* Great Speed - Geist can be rather difficult for opponents to keep up with.

- Super Saiyan - 1, 2, and God.

- Grimoire Of Ruin - A form that makes full usage of Geist's dark magical powers. His outfit changes to something more like what an evil wizard in an RPG would wear, and he surges with magic energy. In this state, he turns to the darker powers granted by his magic, including casting mind-bending illusions, creating objects out of darkness, and other such evil-adjacent abilities. This transformation brings out a more sadistic and paranoid side of Geist.
	* Grimoire of Moonlight - An alternate version of Geist's magic-based transformation which, rather than being focused on his destructive powers, it utilizes divine ki in unison with his magic to summon shields and heal wounds. His outfit becomes more "heavenly" in appearance, reflecting the good he found within himself after joining the Time Patrol. Due to the recency in which he developed the transformation, he still can't use it to its full potential. This transformation makes Geist more rational, but also seems to cause him to become detached from reality in a way.

- Geist has not performed any fusions so far.

- *Cloak of the Infernal* - A "cool-looking" cloak with an "evil eye" holding it together. In reality, it's just a cape Geist stole from a Spirit Halloween store and decided to give it an edgy name.

## Relationships

* Family
* Friends/Allies
* Enemies

* Serra & Gabanz - Geist always tried to get his parents' attention, but they would always disregard anything he did. Their neglect resulted in him becoming desperate for anything that could bring attention to him, and thus sent him down the path of a Time Breaker, and for that, he will always resent them.
* Jala & Bell - Geist and his two sisters had very clashing personalities, so he never got along with either of them. They found it fun to taunt him for the dark circles surrounding his eyes, which further strained their relationship.

- Fina - The first person to welcome Geist into the Time Patrol. Fina is still watching him closely, just to make sure he doesn't pick any fights. He finds it a bit annoying, but he understands why.

- Cath - Geist considers Cath to be his closest friend, though the feeling isn't mutual due to Cath's anti-social tendencies. In many ways, they're like opposites to one another. Regardless, they get along rather well most of the time, though they can sometimes find each other difficult to understand, what with Cath's extensive knowledge of just about everything and Geist's lack there-of, as well as Geist's emotional sensitivity compared to Cath's stoic demeanor.

- Mornayr - (wip)

- Zofri - Nothing but trouble. Someone Geist used to trust, but he since realized he was wrong to.

## Alternate Versions

### **"Ruin"**

Ruin is the representation of the "destruction" aspect of Geist's magic who first appeared to the saiyan in a mirror. He is also a manifestation of Geist's intrusive thoughts, having (unsuccessfully) attempted to encourage the time patroller to slaughter all who oppose him, to throw away all sense of humanity he has, and to burn Conton City to ashes. Ruin seems to hold a nihilistic worldview, having zero regard for any sort of consequences that Geist might face for such actions. Additionally, he is the side of Geist which clings heavily onto paranoia and delusions, believing that the whole universe is out to get him. Geist's **Grimoire Of Ruin** transformation is, in actuality, a more outward manifestation of this facet of his magic.

*Debut*: "'Mirror' part 4: ~ GEIST ~" solo session, May 18, 2023

### **"Moonlight"**

Moonlight is the representation of the "solitude" aspect of Geist's magic who first appeared in the saiyan's unconscious mindscape after he passed out following nearly 6 days without sleep. He seems more intelligent than both his counterpart and the true version of Geist, but not much else is known about him. Geist's **Grimoire of Moonlight** transformation is, in actuality, a more outward manifestation of this facet of his magic.

*Debut*: "triptych" solo session, Sept. 30, 2023

## Trivia

* While Geist's nickname is not based on a pun, his real name, Blackeye, is a pun on black-eyed peas, which are a type of vegetable, thus fitting the saiyan naming theme.
* Geist has incredibly powerful magic, but he usually ends up using it for inane purposes like keeping fuzz off his clothes.
* All of Geist's named techniques are named after magic items in Terraria, as well as having similar or the same effects.
	+ "Shadowbeam" is actually called "Shadowbeam Staff" in Terraria, but the name of Geist's technique makes more sense without the staff part, since he doesn't use a staff to cast it.
* The concept of Geist is generally based around the idea of warlocks in fantasy settings, but if a warlock was actually a complete idiot.
* Geist can't read worth shit, even if his life were on the line for it.
* Geist rarely sleeps, and when he does his eyes usually stay open anyways.
* Geist occasionally gets mistaken for some sort of cryptid during his late-night strolls through the streets of Conton City.
* Geist's nicknames, as called by Dragon - "emo boy", "Sasuke", "dweeb-omancer", "raccoon", "man tits"
* Sources of inspiration behind Geist include:
	+ Veldora Tempest from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime;
	+ Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto;
	+ Batman from DC Comics;
	+ and the entirety of Terraria, somehow.
