Chaos is known as the being that never became a star. It is everywhere and yet nowhere at the same time.
Neither good nor evil, the ultimate expression of nothingness. The antithesis of the cosmos, creation itself.
Although Chaos claims to be the very state of existence from which the first entities appeared, it cannot form into the entity it wants most.
So it has been cursed to stay in the form of a dark and shapeless void. Floating between existence and nonexistence.
Longingly watching as stars are constantly born and lives are lived. The seeds of malice had been planted, flourished and transformed Chaos into the purest form of evil.
If someone had told Julius he could get his wish granted at the price of fighting evil monsters known as corrupted and youmas with grief seeds, Julius would have logically wondered if they had escaped some mental asylum. Yet, life was funny that way because that was exactly what happened. Although in truth, he would hardly consider it to be a price. If anything, it should have already been his duty as part of the law to keep the city safe any way he can. The fact that he got a wish of seeing a certain criminal being placed in jail had only made it better.[break][break]
The prosecutor made another jump landing on the next building over. He stumbled in his steps still not used to the fact that his body was suddenly capable of such feats. It was certainly convenient, but it was certainly going to take some time to get used to. Just how far can he push his body and how much damage can he take. The creature that he was chasing down (the lack of humanoid features led Julius to assume it was a youma) had once again jumped. It was still hidden from view and fortunately, there weren't too many people here.[break][break]
Again the creature was getting father way. With a click of the tongue, Julius made a jump and created his arrow. The magic didn't feel natural, he had to think about it, draw the imagined shape with his hand before it became somewhat concrete. Pulling on where the string would be, the arrow soon takes form. There was no time to even his breathing, not if he wanted to get it before it got aw-[break][break]
The magi found himself falling from a small slip. His body hit the staircase a few times before finally hitting on the ground and he can feel the ache. Strangely enough, though, he managed to somewhat stand up. Maybe still has a chance if he just tries to follow it from the ground. Despite the ache, he can still somewhat move. Gritting his teeth together, the twenty-four-year-old ran out of the alleyway and into the streets. Unfortunately, in doing so, while trying to keep track of where that youma was heading off to, Julius found himself bumping into someone. A woman with purple hair and purple eyes. Someone that he was quite sure he has seen several times but he couldn't exactly place where at the moment.[break][break]
Which also brought his attention to what he must look like. His clothes having cuts in them from the youma and the stairs, his clothes obviously dirtied, his hair short but it must still have looked disheveled nonetheless. Great...hopefully she won't ask questions but Julius wasn't really sure what kind of an excuse he would be able to make up on the spot. "Sorry," he stated almost absent-minded as he tried to look up to find where the youma might be. Gone...great. Maybe, he took a few steps passed the woman in hopes that maybe he can find it again.
Julius really should have known this day would come. Even if he was still young and new to the job, someone had told him he should go to the upcoming party for politicians and prosecutors. Julius was sure it was because of the cold case that was now finally solved being related to him rather than his own merit. He hasn't exactly put that many criminals behind bars since the start of his career yet to actually catch anyone's attention. Well...there was that paperwork for the previous mayor jail sentence but that was a different story. Julius didn't really do much outside of filling papers out.[break][break]
Nonetheless, this party was a good chance to make connections and good first impression, which also meant that he needed to change his appearance...a little bit. Not too much but he should probably wear some kind of accessory right? Like a brooch, broaches would go well with suits. The only problem was that Julius was not exactly the most well-versed in fashion, quite the opposite, and therefore he found himself intently staring at the various gemmed brooches as if they can create some kind of convincing arguments on why he should buy them. It didn't happen and the prices...honestly the prices made a good convincing argument to not buy them. Despite the fact that he was a prosecutor, Julius would certainly not consider himself rich.[break][break]
It...it would be weird to ask if there was a cheaper one, right? Yeah...probably...maybe..."Can...someone help me?" he muttered noticing a figure close to him. One that was wearing a blouse instead of a suit like the other employees. Maybe she was even a customer, he wasn't exactly sure as he wasn't looking up at the moment. Nonetheless...maybe this person can help him? Surely whoever it was, could not be as bad as him when it comes to buying jewelry right?
[attr="class","box"]okay so taking first in this plotter~. i don't have much of a good concrete idea but i was thinking maybe julius has been dragged to one of cassian's shows by a friend before he got his power and therefore didn't really believe in magic. and maybe the two could have something of a debate or cassian could roll his eyes at julius because yeah, he's one of those. then pass a few months later or something and maybe julius was trying to get a corrupted and using his magic and he runs into cassian who sees him doing magic and that could interest him? because what the heck, this guy has magic now? and if cassian uses his magic blatantly in front of julius afterwards, julius could be like "wait your magic was real the whole time? what the heck? what was your wish?" and the two could try to figure out magic together? julius is still very new to magic while cassian has actually been studying it over the years. at the same time though, teaching could also be a good form of learning and understanding magic, so that could help cassian with his quest as well.
julius also wouldn't mind the fact that cassian doesn't talk very much if only because well, julius is rather withdrawn so he doesn't mind just having a companionable silence. although outside of magic, i don't know if they would really interact much.
so here are some of my wanted ads. just a note while these are wanted ads, i totally don't want to be the only person you rp with, so yeah go plot with other people as well. i am also totally cool with you double dipping and taking a wanted ad of mine and combining it with another person as well. just give me a heads up so i would know, who knows that might even generate more plot ideas i didn't think about when writing this app. but yeah so there you go.

so pretty much i'm going to do my best to leave this wanted ad as open for how you wanna play the character as possible. so this character can be of any gender (male, female, non-binary) but for the purpose of this app i'm gonna use they/their just to keep it feeling more open. this sibling is going to have to be older than julius hence 25+ and their parents died 19 years ago, how they feel about that is going to be up to you. maybe they never got over it and kind of just faking it or maybe they found a way to cope. their job is also totally up to you. although their parents were in the police force and their brother is in law enforcement, that obviously doesn't mean that they have to follow it. they could have found a job that isn't the same as the family which could be interesting or they could also take a job that has to do with the law, all up to you. the same can be said with class. maybe they're a vessel/noblesse/magi that fight corruptions like julius and the two don't know that yet and try to hide their injuries from each other. or maybe they're a corrupted and we can play a tragic family route with these two siblings being against each other. or mayb they're a civilian who have to deal with the fact that they don't have power as they start seeing corruptions (as the rp goes in further) and then later awaken their power or maybe they never do awaken their power and have to deal with that. again totally open. these are just some ideas.[break][break]
so how your character feels about julius is all up to you, but julius would totally look up to them. this person is the only family member julius feels he has left (he never really tried to look for any cousins or anything) and therefore he is obviously protective of this person. recently julius has moved out of their apartment and is living alone as well. how your character feels about this is totally up to you. maybe they like julius as well and living alone for the first time, feels awkward for the two. or maybe they never liked julius because having him around was like having another responsibility that most people their age don't really have to deal with, so this could be a relief and they could take this chance to slowly cut julius out of their life. once again, it is totally up to you how you wanna play this. but yeah so just hmu here if you're interested.

[attr="class","asw1bot6"]
so pretty much, i just want a cop partner honestly. someone on the police force that julius is usually the prosecutor for the case for so in a sense they are like partners with this cop catching the suspect and julius trying to get them a guilty sentence. due to the nature of their job, they would naturally have to depend on each other with julius depending on this person to get the evidence and the right person (since really, no one would want to throw an innocent person in jail) and his person would have to depend on julius being able to create a convincing argument that the suspect is the convict or else everything they did for the case would be for nothing. how the two feel about each other, i'm pretty open for. maybe they work well together and sometimes see each other after work just to talk or maybe they hate each other because, despite the fact that they have to work together often and get results, their personalities just clash too much. after all, julius does often act like something of a robot or could be slow to respond outside of court and that could bother some people. once again, their gender and and class is totally up to you as well.

22 - MALE - MAGI - DEFENSE ATTORNEY - TAKEN
[attr="class","asw1bot5"]
[attr="class","asw1bot6"]
just because i think it would be fun to have a defense attorney rival. julius honestly is not a fan of any defense attorney because well once again he legit thinks the police is 100% correct if only because it would be easier for him to do his job to have that mindset. so, therefore, any defense attorney in his eyes is doing nothing more than defending the criminal. and i think there can be a big clash because not everyone is perfect and convicting an innocent person is always within the realm of possibility. this is why defesnse attorneys exist so that could hopefully be lowered. and really, how this character would feel about julius is totally up to you. just know that chances are julius would probably start out hating them. maybe it could get better later when he matures and calms down more but it might start as mutual or one-sided hate at first depending on how you wanna roll with it.

20+ ANY GENDER - ANY CLASS - ANY OCCUPATION - OPEN
[attr="class","asw1bot5"]
[attr="class","asw1bot6"]
before julius and his sibling moved out, they were living with a guardian. pretty much a family friend who was also a police officer. i was thinking maybe this officer had a child as well that grew up with the two? what their current occupation, class and gender is totally up to you. i'm also up for just about any relationship you wanna do with these two growing up. some ideas i have in mind are maybe the two grew up to be close although julius never considered them to be family due to the fact that he has very strict caterogorical boxes he places people in so maybe it's a one-sided family feel. like julis would still like them and see them as a friend but that's it. another could be they mutually see each other as only just friends who sometimes keep in contact with each other when they are free. another that i can think of is maybe your character didn't like julius. maybe they found his presence to be intrusive because their guardian suddenly have to raise three kids. but maybe their parents really like julius and that could spark a one-sided rivalry that julius might not even be aware of. again those are just some ideas i have. if you have one that's different from all of this, totally tell me, i'm all ears.
Honestly? Signus's words but Julius can see that he was obviously closing himself up. This was why it really should have been someone else in this scenario rather than him. He gave a small sigh and shook his head. "My old teacher," he answered and leaving it at that. He wasn't exactly the type to open himself up and saying something like 'my parents are dead' didn't really sound like a good response. It wasn't something Signus needed to know anyway. [break][break]
Again there was a moment of silence between the two as Julius busied himself at dabbing at the stain. He couldn't get all of it out (of course he couldn't, maybe if he had entered the cafe he would have had a better chance but he had obviously ruined that plan) but he did the best that he could. Soon he heard a moan which caused him to turn around and stare at Signus once again. Julius arched a brow at the sudden sound rather confused as to why the other male was moaning. Actually...the screen on his phone still seemed to be on so perhaps it was related to that? [break][break]
Julius had his mouth held in a straight line before he gave a small curt nod towards the apology that was given to him. "My apologies as well," However rather than letting Signus at that very moment, he took a couple of steps to close the distance between them, took out a business card and all but forced it into the other's hand. "Here." He wasn't sure if Signus would call him but having a choice was always good, right?[break][break]
The prosecutor then headed towards the door and was ready to open the door when something occurred to him. Slowly looking back, "have a nice day," the words came out almost like an afterthought before he exited the restroom. Julius's outfit was as clean as it could be...and who knows...maybe his old teacher will laugh at the situation rather than laughing at Julius himself. At least, in the best case scenario anyway.
Julius took a step back at the sudden outburst as something occurred to him..or rather it was pointed out to him. They could have just walked into the cafe, couldn't they? Things would have been more simple but Julius had well...like Signus had pointed out a one-track mind. He had misunderstood what the other was saying earlier and now he found himself in this scenario when they had been an easy solution. Julius wondered if it was possible for some of those corrupted or whatever other names they have would appear to give him some kind of a distraction. Then again, that probably wouldn't really be a good thing with the potential damage it can do to the school. Yet, he would be lyng if he said he wasn't hoping for it nonetheless.[break][break]
The male was about to form an apology (it was the least he could) when the young male continued. What interested him in the tirade was that small slip up. Father...perhaps if it had been alone and unattended to on some long list of potential people, Julis wouldn't have thought too much about it. However, it was the fact that there was backtracking involved, which made that slip up stand out even more. [break][break]
Gray eyes watched the boy's back as he walked over to snatch the towels and dabbing his uniform. Julius knew that he should be doing the same thing. Well, that and apologize as he still hasn't really gotten that out yet. But there was also more pressing matters. "Has...." how to phrase this delicately. Julius was really wishing that he was someone else right now. Someone who knew how to approach this but as a prosecutor, he knew that these kinds of cases might come up. He supposed he could somewhat use this as practice. "your father...has he...hurt you?"[break][break]
Okay...that...that was probably not delicate at all.
One would think that the would give what Julius can only assume to be a barista some napkin to keep on them. Clearly, he was wrong as the young man was looking around with the occasional 'umm' and 'ehh'. When there was a possible light at the end of the tunnel with an 'oh yeah' it was quickly dashed away by the content in the younger man's pockets. From what Julius could see, it consisted of pens, straws and a wallet. Nothing that one would really use as a napkin. Well..not without getting really despearte anyway.[break][break]
Julius gave a nod at the other stating that he didn't. It seems they only had one option then. Maybe if he was lucky, he could just walk in and out. Honestly, even though the prosecutor had been the one that suggested it, he had honestly hoped it wouldn't have gotten there. A sigh parted from his lips as the older man accepted his defeat. He really was not going to get his way today, but it was alright. It could be a lot worse. "Follow me,...Hastur" he instructed curtly reading off the other male's nametag. Ah...there went his habit of using people's last name rather than their first as some form of distance. Well..it shouldn't matter too much..hopefully. Turning around, Julius started to walk towards the school and through its gates. This was the public high school he had once attended and he had a feeling it has not changed that much since his graduation.[break]break]
Unfortunately, just as Julius was close to the men's restroom, he spotted someone familiar. It was the teacher he had intended to visit. Shit what to do what to do. Clearly, the other man had not noticed yet with his back turned so maybe Julius could just quietly open the door and walk in? Acted as if nothing was happening? Yes, that would be the best course of action. Yet just as he had decided on that action among many others (including just walking away and going to a further restroom to get some paper towels) the man had started to turn. All thoughts ceased and Julius had all but grabbed Signus' jacket, opened the door and pushed both the young employee and himself into the restroom.[break]break]
Despite the fact that Julius was not exactly the most athletic person alive, he would like to think his recent activity as a magi had been some form of exercise..even if it had only been a week. Yet, he can feel his heart racing from the earlier panic as he mouthed out the words 'please don't come in' to himself. Then he remembered...right he was with company...and only slowly did he turn to look at the other. His eyes still narrowed as he spoke out the words, "my apologies." Although the tone and expression might have said otherwise. "Saw something." Yeah...that was it. "Lets..get some towels...before the stains dry."
[attr="class","box"]oh i am totally up for that. right now julius might be slightly annoyed in the thread but he doesn't hold it on signus, mistakes happen. however, murder? yeah, julius would hate signus base on pure principle because of that. and i think that could be interesting because both of them are magis who have the same evoker. however, julius wouldn't care about that. he wouldn't care how many people signus might have saved with his power by taking grief seeds. of course, julius isn't a police or a detective so even if he knows, he can't really just hand over evidence to the police without looking super suspicous. so even if he finds out about signus, he can't legally do anything and that would probably piss him off because he has so much faith in the legal system. so i think that could be really interesting? like they might get into fights because of that sometimes or we can also do situations where they are forced to work together to stay alive but julius would definitely not like it. just some possible ideas when tension build up.
as for involvement with julius's dad being sent to jail/asylum, i can see julius (since he is still new to the job) could had been one of the ones that helped set the paperwork and stuff since it's a pretty big case, i would not imagine him as a main prosecutor for it. so yeah, like you said, one of the ones that help. and he doesn't really tend to look into the family of the criminals (because the ideas of criminals having family or anything resembling a normal life disgusts him because he sees every criminal as a scum of the earth), he probably wouldn't think too much about it right now. but yeah, if he connects your character's last name to the same as the stepfather after he becomes suspcious of signus, i think it could definitely be possible for him to think "of course, apple doesn't fall far from the tree." and i think julius comparing signus to his stepfather could also really set signus off which could be fun?
What started as a smile from the young employee soon gave way to sign of impatience, mainly the fact that he had asked Julius if he had any plans to drink it. It seems that he might not be able to just hand it over to his old teacher after all. If only he had continued to walk and not stand there debating on what he should say, looking for what was really two basic words for most people. This was one of the reasons why he didn't like to engage in conversations with strangers very much. The tone the other spoke in also felt forceful and really it gave the feeling that Julius should drink the sample and drink it now.[break][break]
Would it be too late to tell him this young man that Julius had sworn off coffee years ago?[break][break]
Before he could come to a decision, the person had taken a step forward. Sensing the invasion of privacy, Julius knew that he should take a step back but what if such an action was seen to be rude? Maybe he should stand still then? Something like 'stand his ground?' It was hard to tell. Unfortunately, before he could decide, the content of the cup was poured down splashing on his shoes and his white dress shirt as well.[break][break]
The prosecutor's eyes twitched at the sight. At the very least it was not hot but he had no wanted to visit his old teacher in this state. Just imagine what that would say? Teeth clenched, Julius had to somewhat force his mouth into a thin line if only to not frown. It was an accident. Obviously, it was an accident and really Julius probably should have taken a step back. On the other hand, it was a pretty good dress shirt. It wasn't just that but it seemed that the young man had tried to correct himself causing more of a problem as more cups fell down. Which unfortunately also meant more of the coffee spilling onto his shoes and some drops also falling onto his black coat.[break][break]
Now, the prosecutor's fists clench at this round of bad luck as if some greater force out there (magical creatures of good and evil exist so really, the realm of possibilities had become even bigger than before for Julius) was forbidding him from visiting his old teacher today. "It's alright," the two words were practically growled out. No..don't..don't get mad. You should be better than this Julius, you're a prosecutor, you should be setting an example. "It's alright," he repeated once again but it was more for himself than the other.[break][break]
It took a moment before Julius finally truly looked at the other to inspect his condition. He had not been the only victim after all, even if that thought did not make him feel better. "Do you...have any napkins?" he asked, his voice back to its usual barely above a whisper. Maybe there was some damage control they can still do...if not...grey eyes looked over to the school gates. They..could go in there to ask...as embarrassing as that would be.
With Halloween around the corner, it was no surprise that the city was becoming festive with its decorations. Not only that but there was naturally merchandises related to the holiday such as plates, costumes, candy, baskets and of course food and drinks. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin spiced drinks, really Halloween was the time when people will just put pumpkins over everything despite the fact that they could do it at any time. Julius supposed that probably had to do more with marketing than anything like valentines day.[break][break]
The prosecutor was walking down the streets of Pantheon in the district where schools were held. Memories of walking down these streets with his older sibling came to the forefront of his mind. The fact that he was here to visit an old teacher of his earlier had probably helped bring the memory to him. It felt strange talking to his old teacher again but they had been someone who supported his career choice and had often been willing to work with him during lunch to understand chemistry.[break]break]
There was a voice shouting something about a sample that Julius did not fully pay attention to as he was too lost in his thoughts when suddenly a cup was shoved to his face. The sudden movement caused Julius to take a step back, his eyes slightly widening and his mouth slightly opened. Huh? He slowly glanced over to see a white-haired male with tattoos explaining to him what was in the sample. Visible steam wasn't coming from the cup but Julius can still feel the slight warmth due to the proximity. Obviously, this person had wanted him to take the sample but in truth, Julius had never tried the coffee. Not after the first incident when he was given some black coffee during his internship. Someone had made it for him but they had not known how he liked his coffee. Despite the fact that the person had stated (through a lot of stifled laughter) they had thought Julius would have customized his drink with milk and sugar, Julius had sworn off of coffee forever. So really...for him to take it was only going to make it a waste. Still..it didn't seem like anyone else was going to take it and there was something rather tragic about that. So out of pity, Julius slowly took the cup. It certainly did still feel warm, but the black haired male made no move to drink. Instead, he had merely stood there..cup in hand...steel gray eyes looking more to the ground than anything.[break][break]
"Thank you," the words eventually parted from his lips.[break][break]
Hmmm...maybe he should give the sample to his old teacher.
Heaven, if you sent us down So we can build a playground For the sinners to play as saints You'd be so proud of what we've made
FRIENDS
it isn't hard for julius to have acquaintances or to even have amicable relationships with other people. however, for the most part, due to his withdrawn nature, julus will rarely ever be the first to initiate any kind of relationship. this is due to a mix of his preference to be alone with his thoughts, his social awkwardness and his hesitance in debating on what would be the "right" thing to say. however, when he is spoken to, he would try to have some kind of a reply even if it may take him a moment to sort out his response. those with patience would be the ones with the best chance of befriending julius.
with that said though, maybe julius would have some childhood friends. even if he is more likely to be a quiet person, that doesn't mean that he was a complete loner. childhood friends would also probably be people that he would be more open and be faster in responding to if only because he doesn't feel as if he has to constantly be careful with his words in comparison to strangers.
julius is also quite fond of literature so it would be cute if there was a book club of sorts where they sit down and talk about a book they all agreed to read. in fact, julius would probably talk a lot during book club meetings dissecting and analyzing characters in a similar way where he can actually talk quite a lot in court when things are not as personal for him.
seeming one-sided friendships might also be fun. julius has high standards for what he considers to be a friend. in other words what he thinks as 'friends' is what people would think of as 'close friends'. in other words, casual friendships just don't occur to the man. so maybe there could be someone who sees him as a casual friend and says that they are his friend and he just looks at them like "we are?"
also apartment mates for those who have characters that live in an apartment. i just think it would be fun to have characters share the same appartment complex and possibly get into hijinks. espcially since julius has just moved into his new appartment this year. but yes, please appartment mates people DX.
but yeah just some friendship plot ideas with julius.
ENEMIES
julius really doesn't want to hate people but unfortunately, that doesn't mean that he is incapable of it. he's only human after all. with that said anyone who is a criminal would be considered to be his enemy, that is if he was to find out about such a thing. he doesn't care if the crime is killing someone, a con artist, or even someone trying to rob a local convenience store. if you commit a crime, he will literally hate you just on that principle. he also doesn't care for your reasoning whether you were threatened or if you had to do so in order to help some sick relative get medication, he doesn't care. a criminal to him will always be a criminal. so yeah, he has a very black and white viewpoint.
it is also very possible to hate julius as it is possible to hate anyone else. the fact that julius has such a black and white view of the world could get on some people's nerves because things aren't always that black and white. or maybe your family member was put into jail by him recently. naturally those who are corruption will also be an enemy of his due to the fact that he's kind of supposed to hunt them down. i would also imagine defense attorneys would also not be a very big fan of him due to the fact that they are on opposing sides of the law. there is also the fact that he clearly doesn't like taking plea bargains and can be quite harsh in the courtroom.
but yeah a few plot ideas. i'm honestly also totally up for enemy plots and conflicts in general. those can always be fun.
LOVERS
despite julius's withdrawn and socially awkward nature, i imagine he had probably dated a few people in his life before. just a few exes and chances are, he wasn't even the one that asked but rather the other party. julius has also probably dated both men and women but he isn't sure about those who a non-binary yet if only because he has yet to date one to see if he is also attracted to them or not.
i'm also up for someone having a crush on julius but just know chances he won't notice at all unless you tell him. despite the fact that he has a good analytical mind when looking at evidence and solving mysteries, he doesn't really use it to think about how others may view him. i am also totally up for julius having a crush on your character. chances are his type is usually someone that he would find to be morally standing and truly willing to fight for what they believe. although at the same time, he's also not the type to ask his crush out if only because well what if it bothers them? so that could also be fun to play.
the only thing i wanna say though is that i'm not a set in stone person. i like romance plots but nothing that is final right away. i think it would be more fun to just get a potential plot and then see how they work in threads.
Today had not been a day for cases as much as a dare preparing for it and taking plea bargains. Julius sighed at the number of numbers he had taken in today remembering how his co-worker had once told him that he needed to get used to them one day. The look on the defense attorney also seemed to hold some sort of conflict, conflict that Julius elected to not think about. It was not exactly his business to know what was going on with the other side when he had already won.[break][break]
No, it would be better to just head home for the day and rest up. He was going to have to come to work early tomorrow anyway. The male approached the bridge when he saw a woman sitting in a gondola. He had expected for her to move but as he approached the waiting area, ready to wait, he noted that they were not moving. No..if anything it felt like they were waiting and that was when the man had asked in French if Julius would mind riding with the young girl.[break][break]
Gray eyes blinked, his face looking blank that the man on the gondola seemed to tilt his head. The man repeated his question in English but Julius had already understood his question. French and English were the two dominant languages of this country after all. It was more of...should he really just go with this girl? It would certainly help the gondola driver. However, he wasn't exactly a 'people' person. No...it wouldn't be long and he wouldn't be expected to carry out a conversation right? Just when the man on the gondola was ready to open his mouth again, Julius gave a nod and stepped onto the gondola as well. Slowly he sat down trying to give as much room for the female passenger.[break][break]
Lets hope this won't be too awkward for either of them.[break][break]

His lies, his deceit, you aired them all for the world to see. And for that, you are to be commended. But your job has only grown. With your newfound magic, you have garnered a new task of intergalactic proportions. And to aid you in such, you have been given the ability to produce a binding lasso of pure light that, upon ensnaring your target(s), causes them to answer all of your inquiries truthfully. If the victim(s) attempt to tell an untruth while ensnared, they will face an insufferable burning sensation. However, if the target(s) tell a truth, or sincerely do not know the answer to the inquiry, the lasso will glow and loosen. Of course, every thing comes with a few catches. One, you must remain focused at all times while using the lasso. The slightest distraction will cause the lasso to loosen. Second, the lasso itself appears from a magic circle. To bring it forth, you must extend a hand outward and chant: "Golden rays I conjure thee. To give thy truth unto me." Without the chant, the lasso cannot be used.

ABILITIES
NAME: Iustitia[break] CLASS: D[break] DESCRIPTION: A bow created by light manipulation through gathering and condensing visible light together. Julius is also able to create arrows from through the same method and send them at his target. At the moment, due to his inexperience with archery, Julius takes time with his aims and even then, he can't aim very far. Unlike a real arrow, the light arrows do not curve in their trajectory but rather shoots straight at the target. However, because it is created by light, they can be reflected by glass or anything that can bend light. They also grow weaker in places that are dark due to the lack of visible light. He is also incapable of using his weapon in complete darkness.[break][break]
NAME: praesidio[break] CLASS: D[break] DESCRIPTION: Using visible light, Julius can create a shield in front of a chosen target that can absorb one or two attacks. The shield is unfortunately weak and easy to break. It will also only protect an attack from one direciton. [break]
Julius doesn't remember much about his parents due to the fact that they were taken away from him at the young age of five. All he had of them were photos and stories that he heard either from their friends or his sibling. They were two police officers who were brave and active in the community. They were hard working people but they did their best to make time for their children on their day off. It was always only good things and Julius would always feel as if their murder robbed him of these two wonderful people in his life. "Why did the bad man who took mom and dad away not in jail!?" he shouted one time at his older sibling when the stories were getting to be too much. He wanted to get to know them, he wanted to meet them, he wanted them to be more than just people he hears about like some kind of historical figure. They weren't people born hundreds of years ago, they were his parents, he should have been able to talk to them and tell people his own stories of them as well.
de mortuis nil nisi bonum
Despite not growing up in a normal family of four that is directly tied by blood, Julius and his older sibling were actually adopted by a friend in the police force. They had a child and Julius would have to share a room with his sibling. Despite the warmth the police Lieutenant and his family had given him, Julius could never consider them family. They looked too different from him and they were not related by blood. They did not even share the same last name and therefore he would often do his best to not disturb them too much. Instead, he would often run to his older sibling whenever he needed help with his homework. When his older sibling was old enough, the two moved out using his inheritance to their parent's money. It wasn't much but it was enough for the two to have a small apartment. "This...is our apartment...." Julius couldn't help but whisper. It felt so strange to have a place that was owned by the two of them. A residence that was only for the two family members. No longer would he feel like some kind of intruder or stray animal that was taken in.
guardian ad litem
It was Julius's turn to cook tonight as it was the weekend. The boy has been trying his best to help his older sibling whenever he can whether it was cleaning the dishes or preparing meals (which was often split between the two). His older sibling had a job and was working but Julius himself was only a few months into his first year in high school. There was a sense of nervousness as he did not dare look at his only family member in the eye, "I...I got a job." He had been worried that the older sibling wouldn't like it but Julius figured if his older sibling was already paying for so much, he could at least just pay for the small things. The younger Vesper promised that it wouldn't get in the way of his schoolwork and fortunately it didn't. It had just been a part-time job and he was even able to get into college with the help of his older sibling's money and whatever scholarships he can get his hand on. At age twenty-two, Julius had managed to enter judiciary school.
sui juris
The twenty-three-year-old male felt someone nudging his arm and he was tempted to not give them his attention. He had agreed to go to eat lunch with the person he was interning for out of politeness but that didn't mean that he had any plans to make small conversations. Not with what happened earlier. "Are you still mad about that plea bargain?" Yes. It happened every time Julius found a prosecutor taking a plea bargain (which he did his best to avoid taking whenever he could). The younger intern merely turned his head away with a small huff causing the other to laugh. "You better get used to it. Think about it this way, if we accept plea bargains on small fries, it means we have more energy to spend on the bigger fishes." Well...he supposed...it does. He still didn't like it though. Julius swore, whoever killed his parents better not get a plea bargain. Once they find him..as if it hadn't been considered a cold case by now. There was still two more years.
facio ut facias
There was only a year left and Julius found it harder for him to get any good night sleep or focus when he knows the criminal that doesn't deserve to live freely was out there. Whoever they were, this unknown figure that had thought it would be alright to kill two good people. The newly appointed prosecutor was drinking from his tea in his apartment in order to calm him down when someone appeared in the apartment he had gotten for himself last year. It was hard to tell if they were male, female or simply did not exist within the binary gender. He had been ready to kick them out of his apartment when they told him that they had a proposition for him. They told him that they sense he had a wish and that they can grant it but at a price. Honestly, it had sounded preposterous. The idea of a wish that could be granted so magically and in return he was given powers to fight some kind of evil magical entity? It sounded almost like those cartoon shows he used to watch. This person was clearly insane. Not wanting to alert them, he used the table to hide the fact that he was ready to call the police. In order to distract this clearly insane person, Julius knew he had to make up some kind of random wish. Still, maybe it was because of the statute of limitation for his parent's case was running out or maybe he hadn't actually drank his tea yet, Julius gave out his true wish. "I want the person that killed my parents to face justice." There was a bright light and then nothing. The male could not help but wonder if he had imagined that from long nights looking over cases.
mens rea
Two days later, Julius heard rumors of how evidence was suddenly found to arrest someone from a cold case. A mere coincidence he had thought then. Whoever was affected by that cold case was lucky. Then when the convict was announced on tv along with the cold case that was opened, Julius couldn't believe it. He had given his case for that day to a co-worker (which he later found out had taken a plea bargain but really, Julius couldn't even be mad) and went to the court hearing to see for himself. The criminal was a man who seemed to be in his thirties (he must have been young when he committed the crime) and was found guilty. Julius couldn't help but wonder if this elation was what families of the victim felt when Julius managed to get a guilty conviction. When the court case ended, Julius had walked out ready to buy a meal for his co-worker in gratitude but also celebration. He didn't bother to look at the criminal who was crying with his family on the other side.
pacta sunt servanda
The unfortunate part about contracts was that when it was made and the other side has seen their end, there was a sense of obligation. Julius didn't mind though, it was a small price to pay. Just another side job in a sense but also an extension of his duty. His job was to see those who have committed a crime be punished. Whether it was a normal human or some kind of magical entity that really should only exist in some cartoon show mattered little for him. And on his days off, he would hopefully be able to see his older sibling for lunch or dinner.
