1st Kata - A Blunt Intro For an Edgelord

[mightmakesright]

My name is Vergil. As one of the newest "Starfallen", I have been made aware of this world's troubles. The responsibility of saving it falls to us, but if I am to truly cooperate with others, I will keep no secrets as to what this world now deals with.

I am the eldest son of a legendary demon, the dark knight Sparda, who rebelled against his own kind to free humanity from enslavement. Though I tried to emulate him, my foolish pursuit of power made a mockery of his legacy. I am responsible for the deaths of countless innocents and only took notice of how unforgivable my crimes are when I was stripped of my pride. My path through darkness brought only one thing to be proud of: my son's ability to stop me.

Irony dictates my punishment is to instead save the world. Should my history drive away any chances of cooperation, then so be it. I intend on seeing this through, all the same.

(There is a delay in Vergil's next response. He's already admitting his faults; he won't accept half assing it.)

As a child, I lost my mother to demons who sought revenge against my father. I believed if I were stronger, it never would've happened. I also believe my younger brother to be the favored sibling and I could not accept being lesser to him. What I saw in my father's legacy was the power to drive back hell itself; with that power, I wouldn't fail because of weakness.

I blamed my humanity for my weakness and cast it aside. I discarded the pain that would've better guided my blade and so it cut indiscriminately. Each defeat meant losing more of myself until the day I split myself in two. The part of me without demonic pride realized what I had become and set in motion the events to stop me. If my demonic half succeeded, I doubt my world would be worth returning to.

Only recently did I become able to look back on my past without clouded judgment. What I've done is unforgivable, but if I am to become better than the pathetic fool I once was, I cannot linger in my failure. Should this world see use in my insights and skills, even if it means what not to do, then so be it. I will not stop until I become the man I was meant to be all along.

My reasons were selfish. It was a desperate attempt to survive: rejuvenating my body through a demonic plant that drains blood from humans. Because my demonic half had no moral compass, it did not care for the repercussions of using the Qilphoth.

Repercussions that I will not forget.

I also will not forget your patience in all of this. Though I don't know how to best utilize this second chance, I give every task nothing short of my best. Anything less is unacceptable.
