Anything Else?
Inner Stuff
Likes:
- Sweets
- Justice
- More sweets
Dislikes:
- Healthy foods
- Being mocked for her current state of being
- The fact that she can't reach the top shelf in her apartment anymore
Strengths:
- As a Bound, she has a whole gauntlet of powers, including:
- Immortality. If he were to die, his Geist is capable of quite literally yanking him back into the world of the living.
- Enhanced strength and stamina (little girl packs a big punch)
- She can see and interact with the denizens of Twilight, and can phase freely between the two planes.
- Her Keystone, being a heart shaped locket, can give temporary life to inanimate objects when placed inside them.
- Her unique ability allows her to absorb memories and knowledge from anyone she comes into physical contact with.
- Immortality. If he were to die, his Geist is capable of quite literally yanking him back into the world of the living.
- Master detective (good at all that sleuthing stuff)
- Her baking skills are top notch
Weaknesses:
- He's a grown man trapped in a teenaged girl's body. That can cause problems. She is also forced to consume enough calories to sustain both bodies (think that whole Ed's nutrients go to Al's real body thing from FMA Brotherhood).
- If his Geist has to revive him, someone else in the world dies in his place, and he is forced to experience the death in full living color.
- The things her Keystone brings to life are only alive for thirty minutes at a time and Niko can only use it three times a day.
- Prolonged physical contact with another person causes the memories to flood in which causes great strain on Niko's mental state. It's usually not always useful information she obtains either.
Goal(s):
- Regain her original body (s/he's not too thrilled with being a little girl)
- Solve crimes and catch bad guys, both worldly and other worldly
Habits/ Quirks:
- Smokes a pipe and will often use that pipe as a blunt object when punishing people whose acts of stupidity warrant a good head thrashing.
- When she doesn't have a pipe in hand, it's guaranteed she'll be eating something sweet.
- Curses in German when particularly upset.
Relationships:
- Fellow Geistmen - keeping her condition a secret from them for the time being
- Teddy Wrexpin - Niko's Geist that lives inside her body and takes the form of a giant teddy bear. Can manifest externally in both Twilight and Daylight.
Overview: Contrary to prior appearances, Niko can be your greatest asset or your worst enemy. She's good at exposing the truth and dragging the horrible criminals that make their home in the shadows right into the light. She has her magnificent bastard moments, but she has her cute girl moments too.
She does hate what she has become, but that doesn't stop him/her with just living with it for the time being. She'd prefer it if you didn't know she was actually a grown dude trapped in a girl's body so expect her to shy away from anything with a reflective surface (as they reveal her true form).
Hero Stuff
Name: GeistGrey
Type Of Hero: Geistman
Henshin Device: Her Keystone, a golden heart shaped locked with serious burn damage. A cute little teddy bear is engraved on the front.
Henshin Sequence: When in Daylight, she pulls the locket out and as it begins to glow softly, she says, "Geist Change." She then spins the locket above her head, forming a golden halo (think KIBA). The halo floats downward over her body, transporting her to Twilight. Once there, she is no longer a little girl, but is once again an adult man. Teddy Wrexpin then creates his armor by fusing with him. At this point, he can either remain in Twilight or teleport back to Daylight in a flash of light. When his transformation ends, he will return to being a girl.
Forms:
- Form Name: Temperance Form
Image/ Description: The grey one
Motif: Temperance, Armor, Ghost
Color Scheme: Silver, Black, Grey, Blue, Gold
Transformation: See above
Fighting Style: A slash here, a kick there, a headbutt every now and then. He likes to mix it up to keep you on your toes.
Weapons: The Angelo Geister, razor sharp Wolverine claws on each arm.
Abilities: His stats are all enhanced, more so when in Twilight than in Daylight, and also when in Twilight, he can fight alongside the Teddy Wreckspin.
Finisher(s):
Sharp Requiem - He focuses, channeling his power into the Angelo Geister, before slashing right through the opponent. If a physical opponent, it destroys them utterly (complete with explosion). If a Twilight denizen, it banishes them to the afterlife, sucking them into three miniature claw shaped black holes created by the slash.
Passage to the Light- The team finisher, requiring at least 3 Geistmen to be present in order to do it, the team focus their energy in one spot, causing a small ball of light to form. This ball of light is a passage to the Underworld, and it pulls restless spirits in like a magnet. - Form Name: Gluttony Form
Image/ Description: Same as Temperance, but the white is black and the black is a lighter grey.
Motif: Gluttony, Ghost
Color Scheme: Red, Silver, Grey, Blue, Gold, Black
Transformation: When his stomach starts grumbling fiercely, his armor begins to exude spectral energy and changes into this form.
Fighting Style: Sticks to more long range attacks and a more prominent defensive.
Weapons: The Diablo Geister, a bazooka where the mouth is in the shape of teddy bear's mouth.
Abilities: This form is physically more resilient than Temperance, but it's more taxing on Niklaus. He's often forced out of a transformation if he fights in this form for too long.
Finisher(s):
Sin Eating- A finisher shared by the whole team in their Vice forms, he grabs the ghost's face and literally absorbs the spirit into his body, healing minor wounds and revitalizing him. However, he is forced to live with the guilt of what he has done, of taking any sort of chance of that ghost going to the Light.
Diablo Breaker- Another common Vice form finisher, this one is unique to the individual. Nic charges his power into the Diablo Geister and shoots out a destructive wave of energy.
Monster Name: Teddy Wrexpin
Type Of Monster: Geist
Image/ Description: This, but twelve foot tall and just as wide.
Motif: Teddy Bear
Abilities: Besides giving Niko the powers of a Bound, he has immense strength and his stomach opens up to reveal a second mouth which acts as a mini black hole. He can manifest his form outside of Niko in both Twilight and Daylight, but this requires much more effort on both his and Niko's part when in Daylight if he wants to manifest as anything more clear than a hazy mist.
Other Equipment:
- Pipe, Magnifying glass, Cell phone camera, Crime Lab, other detectivey stuff
- Laptop
- Taser, Pepper spray
History
Though most Germans would like to pretend World War II never happened, Niklaus Faust won't shy away from the fact that his father was a Nazi who worked directly under the former Führer himself. In an attempt to make amends for the sins of his father, Nik became a detective.
He solved case after case and gained quite the notoriety in the detective community for his rather unusual methods and general dick behavior. During his career, he even had his own Moriarty-esque archenemy. It was a game of chess with no winner in sight until his enemy discovered where he lived and burned his house down - with him in it.
His enemy's henchmen guarded the entrances of the burning house and when he tried to escape through the front door he was shot in the chest. He retreated into the house where he was burned alive while clutching a locket belonging to his younger sister who had died when they were both still children.
Though Nik had died and believed he had moved onto the next world, he first encountered...a giant teddy bear. This bear called himself Teddy Wrexpin and told him all about Geists, Bounds, Daylight, Twilight, etc. He wanted to know if Nik wanted to form a contract with him which would allow Nik to return to the world of the living once more.
Life hadn't been too kind to him, but felt like he still had things to do in Daylight. The contract was formed with Nik now having the power to become a the grey Geistman.
Nic found himself alive once more in the middle of the ruins that were once his home, the morning after his supposed death. He was ready to get back to work - only to find himself in a rather unusual predicament....He now found himself trapped in the body of a teenage Japanese girl. As Teddy Wrexpin later explained (and apologized for) he had screwed up the resurrection process (though he wasn't really sure how) and put his soul into a girl's body (where the body came from he wasn't exactly sure about either - he's a very forgetful Geist).
Anyway, Nico (which was what she now called herself now) decided to continue her detective work anyway. Using certain shadowy connections of hers, she set it up so she could speak with the cops and her clients via computer, leading them to believe she was grown man who called himself L.
OOC Stuff
Anything Else: Designs credited to Dudewithasmile. Her female body exists only in Daylight while her original male body exists only in Twilight (if that makes sense). When she passes by a reflective surface in Daylight, her male form is reflected instead of her current female form allowing others to see what she truly is.
OOC Name: Quetz
Name Color #BEBEBE
Number Of Stars 7
Color Of Stars Yellow
Sample RP: "What up?" laughed the douche in baggy pants, "What brings you to this part of town, little girl?"
The "little girl" in question ignored him and continued walking down the street.
"Hey you!" he slammed his hand against the wall in front of her, "Don't you dare ignore me!"
"Dummkopf," the girl muttered.
"What was that?"
"Dummkopf," she said again, but louder.
"Speak English, goddamnit!"
"It means idiot."
"So you're calling me an idiot?" he twitched.
"What gave you that impression?" she rolled her eyes.
"Why you little!" he attempted to punch her, only for her to duck down and kick him right in the nads. While he stood there, clutching his crotch, Nico shook her head.
"Those things were always a liability."
