Presenting Vergil
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Vergil Sparda
Date of Birth / Age: March 13th. He's in his mid-late twenties/ early thirties now following the events in Fortuna.
Nicknames: (if any) N/A
Position: Half-Demon
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
Appearance: Vergil has bright whitish/silver hair that is cropped relatively short and is usually worn with the bangs swept back from his face to further distinguish himself from his twin brother. His preferred hairstyle is also to somewhat emulate his father. If it wasn't for this, along with his general cold expression, Vergil would be the mirror image of his younger twin, though his pallor is a little more pale due to his choice of outfit and constant time spent inside. He has brilliant yet icy blue eyes and is close six feet tall. Vergil weighs roughly 170 pounds, most of which is muscle developed from years of fighting.
Vergil also varies greatly from his brother in his style of dress, choosing to stick to more classical, even regal attire instead of the more flashy appearance his twin takes. He generally wears dark leather pants paired with a dark vest, and a matching cravat. Along with that he wears brown knee high boots with buckles and matching fingerless leather gloves. The outfit is completed with his very distinct blue ankle length coat with brilliant gold detailing, buckles on the sleeves and the back, and a reddish-orange patterned lining. An intricate white dragon design flows up the right side of the coat and down to the chest of the left side, all in all giving him a very refined appearance.
Face Claim: n/a
CHARACTER PERSONALITY
Strengths Incredible speed and agility, excellent control over his demonic abilities, and the relentless pursuit of power all serve to make Vergil a force to be reckoned with. He can kill you before you even realize he's drawn his sword, and he won't hesitate to do so.
Weaknesses His summoned swords don't possess the speed that other projectile attacks do, nor the power, and they drain his powers rather quickly. Certain attacks with Yamato can be quite sluggish from the sheer power the sword is radiating and can leave him momentarily vulnerable. His twin is also a weakness when Vergil lets his normally collected self slip, which is liable to happen with his brother's mouth running.
Personality : Vergil's personality is completely opposite of that of his twin brother. He is very cold and aloof, and very collected in his mannerisms and speech. He doesn't care for most things, especially concerning his human half. Vergil is more concerned with power than with relationships of any kind, and really only indulges in them at all to further his goals. He was once close with his brother, but that all changed when they lost their mother and he adopted his current attitude and beliefs. Vergil despises weakness, most of all from himself.
The elder twin of Sparda thinks first and acts immediately after, never one to mince words or actions. He prefers swords over guns, considering the weapons 'dishonorable' and frankly quite pathetic. Despite his cold and stand offish nature, he does have his own set of values he lives by, though those aren't always in line with his brother's. Vergil does not care for anything that stands in the way of his attaining power. The only things important to him besides that are his sword, Yamato, and his own half of the Perfect Amulet, both gifts from his parents.
OVERALL BACKGROUND
Father: Sparda ( unknown )
Mother: Eva ( deceased )
Siblings: Unfortunately, Dante ( alive )
Overall History: Sometime before their eighth birthday, Eva gave Dante and Vergil each a half of the Perfect Amulet. Around the same time, Sparda died, and Eva and the twins were left alone. Some point after Sparda's death, when the twin's turned eight, Vergil, Dante and their mother were attacked by revenge-seeking demons, who hoped to harm Sparda's loved ones in his death. Eva was killed, while the brothers survived. However, the twins were separated, and Dante believed Vergil to have died.
At least one year before the twins meet again, Arkham finds Vergil searching for a book in his library, and tells him about the legend of the Temen-ni-gru. Vergil endorses Arkham's plan to raise the Temen-ni-gru. Arkham reveals that they must undo a number of "seals" as the first step. These seals are, in fact, fallen angels representing the seven deadly sins, and they must be given their names in order for the seals to be undone. While Arkham searches for the location of each seal, Vergil resides in his mansion, along with Alice. However, he wanders through the town at one point, and is confused with Dante by Enzo Ferino. The revelation that Dante lives within the city seems to excite Vergil. As Dante finishes his job to "rescue" Alice, Vergil enters the mansion and questions White Rabbit about the amulet's power. As Dante and Vergil leave the mansion, they unknowingly cross paths, and Dante is startled after realizing who he passed.
Arkham helps Vergil to break the first seven seals Sparda cast upon the Temen-ni-gru, and then directs him to the Forbidden Land at the base of the tower. Vergil is later seen alongside Arkham at the top of the emerging tower. When the Hell Vanguard they sent to kill Dante returns, having failed its task, Vergil immediately dispatches it.
Vergil waits at the top of the tower for Dante, and at one point dispatches Arkham to eliminate Lady. When Dante reaches the peak of the tower, the two banter and then ferociously battle. Vergil emerges victorious, and takes Dante's half of the Perfect Amulet as his prize. Though Dante's Devil Trigger begins to manifest and Vergil prepares to fight him again, Arkham urges him to ignore Dante because they already have all they need. The two then jump off the tower to reenter the Forbidden Land.
As Vergil and Arkham approach the final door to the Lair of Judgement, Vergil reveals his knowledge of Arkham's betrayal, and deals him a mortal blow. He then enters the chamber and commences the ritual to open the gate to the demonic world. During this ritual, he is momentarily interrupted by a blinded Beowulf, who has mistaken him for Dante. However, Vergil quickly vivisects the devil, and takes his soul as a Devil Arm.
While Dante was hurrying up to the final seal, Vergil had no luck on unlocking the seal, and was later interrupted by Dante. The twins engaged another fight which was interrupted by Lady causing the battle to end in a tie. Both demonic brothers are equally wounded, and Jester makes his appearance by announcing that everybody has served their role nicely. Jester later turned back and forth between Arkham and Jester, explaining why Vergil's ritual was incomplete, and why Vergil had failed against Dante and Lady. Arkham completes the ritual, and then plays with the three warriors while waiting for the tower to activate. Once it does, he knocks them off the ascending platform, wherein Vergil falls into an abyss.
Later, after Dante enters the Netherworld, Vergil is seen passing through the Divine Library, with Lady still huddled up, wounded and in grief, after her battle with Dante. She hears his footsteps and looks up to see who it was, but by that time, he had already gone through the door that Dante took. Vergil later interrupts Dante's fight with the ascended Arkham, and the twins finish Arkham off together. However, Vergil has not given up his goal of obtaining the Force Edge, and the twins are again forced to fight. Though Dante is able to defeat Vergil, he cannot convince him to return to the Human World. Vergil lets himself fall even deeper into the Netherworld.
Vergil ends up in the Room of Fallen Ones, while three glowing orbs approach. Vergil recognizes the approaching devil, and prepares to defeat him, remarking "If my father did it, I should be able to do it too." However, in his weakened state he is defeated and corrupted into becoming Nelo Angelo, a new Devil Trigger for Vergil under the control of Mundus.
Role-Play Sample
Vergil sighed as he snapped yet another book shut. It had been days and he had still found nothing of real use to him in this decrepit library. The half demon brushed a stray lock of platinum hair back into place before turning back to the shelf and picking up the next book. The cover of the book had a thick layer of dust, which he quickly brushed away to read the nearly completely faded title. It was in a dead language that he hadn't seen in many years, a good sign that he was on the right track. "Perhaps this one then..."[/color] he murmured to himself as he flipped the book open and began to read. Icy blue eyes scanned each page, taking in the information there with a renewed sense of urgency. As he read, Vergil was quite certain that his days of research in this crumbling old building had finally started to pay off. [/blockquote]
