Character: Rosenkrantz
Canon: Original Character (Sinnerโ€™s Crown)
Canon Point: Temple of Night Arc

Crime: Extreme Vanity

Background: As a member of the Bohemian Calamity, Rosenkrantz battles evil forces in the ever-changing Dreamscape of Rea Monde, the Realm of the Guilty. The current Dream Witch is Calamities' secondary leader, with Rosen serving as the group's primary combatant. Luna summoned Rosenkrantz as her arkana, or summoned warrior. He is one of Luna's most powerful summons, wielding the fabled Lรบin of Celtchar, a bloodthirsty and fiery spear known for gradually devouring its wielder.

While Rosen might look like a supermodel who weight-lifts as a hobby, heโ€™s actually a bit of a slacker who dislikes working and enjoys lazing around drinking. He isnโ€™t the slightest bit modest about his appearance, often talking about his good looks just to be annoying. Heโ€™s a bit embarrassing sometimes, especially since Rosen loves to brag about himself. However, this is just the mere surface of his personality. While he can be considerably charming when he wants to be, thereโ€™s a dark side to his personality that sharply contrasts greatly with his easy-going persona.

Combat is one of Rosen's favorite pastimes. He enjoys fighting more than drinking, and he frequently seeks out strong opponents to challenge. However, his enthusiasm for combat is not entirely genuine. He enjoys watching his opponent suffer and appears to derive sadistic pleasure from inflicting pain. When faced with powerful opponents, Rosen makes it his mission to crush their spirits in the most brutal ways possible, frequently torturing them to near-death. While Rosen is not afraid to get his hands dirty, he refuses to kill an adversary unless absolutely necessary. That is, assuming they are not a Knightmare of some kind. The only creatures not spared death are the Knightmares, who haunt the living's dreams. Those creatures must die, and Rosen will do everything in his power to fulfill his duty.

Abilities:

  • Fire Manipulation
    Rosenkrantz has the ability to produce, manipulate, and even generate every variety of fire that exists. He may even produce a towering inferno to burn within minutes by causing the quick oxidation of materials by chemical combustion. He can also adjust the intensity of the fire, sometimes even producing a "cold flame" to cauterize wounds. While the hue of the flames might vary depending on their heat, he usually casts the red, hot flames that most people are accustomed to witnessing.

    He mainly employs his fiery abilities when wielding the Lรบin of Celtchar, a powerful burning red lance capable of reducing most steel to ash. Rosen is capable of wielding this lance with ease, without fear of the flames burning him. He is completely impervious to all types of fire damage, including dragon fire. Rosen can set fire to his lance with merely a thought, causing flames to spread across the weapon like an inferno. He can also employ his magic for non-combat purposes, such as lighting beacons and cooking food. Rosen can even create small familiars out of fire, but when they reach their limit, they vanish into a puff of smoke.

  • Inhuman Strength & Agility
    As one would suspect, Rosen is stronger than your average person. While heโ€™s not strong enough to lift a mountain or two, he is capable of punching through stone and rock with relative ease. His inhuman strength is an asset to him in combat, especially when facing off against the monstrous Knightmares that haunt the Dreamscape. Itโ€™s because of his strength that he has a remarkable sense of durability since it takes a lot to injure him.

    Heโ€™s also shockingly agile and often likes to perform deft-defying feats in combat. While heโ€™s not faster than a speeding train, heโ€™s fast enough to ricochet projectiles off his lance. It should also be noted that heโ€™s exceedingly flexible as well, enough to make a Yoga instructor quite envious. He can detach his joints at a whim in order to slip through cracks and small spaces.

  • Willed Immortality
    When the going gets tough, Rosen gets tougher. As the Arkana of Vainglory, Rosenkrantz is capable of willing himself from the brink of death by reincarnating himself on the spot. This ability literally allows Rosenkrantz to endure the most egregious injuries that would easily kill a normal person. He can survive being disemboweled, dismembered, and even pierced through the heart with this ability. However, his Vainglory abilities come with a dangerous caveat since every time he uses this skill he loses a piece of his memories.

    While he can survive being horribly mutilated and slashed to pieces, every resurrection causes his memory to fade. If he uses this ability too often within the Dreamscape, he risks the chance of erasing himself from existence entirely. This ability is a double-edged sword that Rosenkrantz doesnโ€™t take lightly. While the ability to negate his own death is a powerful one, itโ€™s not something he does often.

    However, it does have the passive effect of keeping him remarkably well-preserved since he cannot age. His current gentlemanly form is nothing more than a glamour his master, Luna the Dream Witch, prefers.


  • Plans: As usual, I welcome positive and negative CR alike! I really want Rosen to meet more people before going on a character arc of his own. It would be nice to get this bastard out of his comfort zone and have him start caring about others. Right now, Rosen only cares about himself and his own enjoyment but I would love for him to grow out of that.

    In the meanwhile, Rosen needs a JOB, asap! So, if you have someone who needs a henchman, bodyguard or exotic entertainer, heโ€™s your man.

    How can you run into my character? You donโ€™t find Rosen, Rosen finds you! All jokes aside, Rosen tends to wander around town at odd hours of the day and night. Though, heโ€™s more nocturnal.
