EDIT: I have decided to dedicate this post to explaining Kjal's well-being. His history is included here, because I can't keep updating his history on the char page. I went over the limit of 10k letters (>< P).
The Extended, Updated and Explainative History Of Kjalhasson Boudoin
The reason why Kjal fights, and why did he pick demons instead of angels:
Kjal had the desire to stop the war, because peace was just less bloodier. People die, people cry and people fought. He believes it goes around in circles. The only way was to break the cycle. Even if it was just a long pause, it was satisfactory. He never believed in Heaven or Hell, which led to the confusing result of HOW did he manage to make a deal with Burning Hells approximately 7 years before his death...and why. He had believed in the cycle. The cycle had affected his mother, his father and recently, his brother. The only thing Kjal could do was insert himself into the cycle, find a crack and break it.
The reason he had not taken the side of Angels was he believed they were restricted to what they can do, and this was proven true by most angels AFTER he had finished his demonic deal. The demons were more "free" to do what they can, which turned them into something like a mindless swarm of rage, while some demons of more intelligence become the levers which let lose the dogs of hell and open the gates for them, rather like Kjal.
The History of Kjal:
Killed during the Machines Campaign by his brother in an accident of some sort, He was buried in Axium. Some of his friends believe that he went to Heaven, looking at his personality and his acts, which had spoken of good. He didn't.
He went to hell. It was because that he went on a hellbent rampage in a populated small town, practically off the map of Astra. Approximately 300 were murdered. If you were to inspect the bodies, you would find out that all of them were killed in a duration of 3 days, women, children, men and adventurers included.
Kjal is not merely given a will, unlike zombies. He now had a demon soul, that apparently uses a person mind to shape itself, but corrupts the mind with bloodlust. The demon soul is, essentially, Kjal himself. The Gehda Amulet is him as well, but before his own death. As far as we know, Kjal's sanity is able to insert thoughts into his old body. The other demons, who ended up like him, likes to call themselves and him a Dehuman, which is merely a play on words that meant "Demon Human" and a degraded human.
When Kjal met with Harper for the third time, inside the Sunburg Stadium, it was revealed Kjal made a deal with the devils. He would've surely gone to heaven for his actions, but his bond with hell stayed true. From there, he was given power, as promised for the trade of 300 souls. But instead of releasing him, when receiving his end of the deal, they trapped him in Hell. They tortured him. This is the reason why Kjal has demonic arms and one eye.
They trained him to be on their side, and to be a disposable assasin. Like all corrupted sinners, Kjal was forced to follow along, but the Gehda Amulet stayed with him when he died, keeping him sane with the personality. When the demon inside awoke, so did the gem, giving Kjal three personalities: Sane, Demonic, and himself.
The demon overpowered the two, yet gave control to them. This was because a dehuman soul is created in order to take the mind of a sinner, and shape the mind and/or itself into a killing being. But since Kjal had two personalities, when the original Kjal got corrupted, the gem awoke and corrupted the demon in turn. Thus, the demon soul is almost the same as Kjal, but has a mind of its own. He gave Kjal back a personality: the original. This let's Kjal be normal without acting like a demon.
Kjal remembers the moment as he felt a burning sensation upon his death. It was a trigger of the deal, leading him down to hell before angels could take his soul. From there, he was tricked by a warlock with whom he made a deal with, who would also will be referred to as his mentor. Kjal killed him off when he had fainted in Los Andreas.
As hell had little power over Kjal, the whispers proved ineffective. Something protects him from the words, and no hellspawn could command him. Then, they had decide to cripple the only thing that they control: his magic. Kjal and his Demon had normal prowess of the power, but combined with his newgained speed and dexterity, they took away his ability to use them.
As a dehuman, Kjal requires a hellgate to renew himself, from time to time. If he were to stay near holy powers for a long time, he would find himself weakened. It would not kill him, but it disturbs him.
But after the Sunberg devestation incident, Hell has rejected his presence, and could no longer hold Demonic energies. His life depended on something that resembles a golden twenty-sided die, which absorbs demonic energies from hell and into it. It did not last long. A fight with a Dark Apostle in the Gehda Mines had broken the object but instead of the magical magnetic energy being dispersed, it was redircted back towards Kjal. Now, Kjal was a "well" of demonic energies, making him a beacon for any angelic vigilante or demonic beserker nearby.
It was revealed that the influence of being a demon on Kjal was increasing. When he exited the mines unconciously, he had killed a travelling trader unwillingly and unknowingly. The voices of the demon spirit and the Gehda Amulet were less noticeable than ever, as the wretched whispers began to overlap his mind... As time passes, the effect of the demon influence increases, as does his strength. This worries Kjal, and sooner or later, he'd have to find a supressant.
Boudoin Family Legacy:
"Gunfingers" Boudoin was a man whose past was even more clouded than his son's. It was said that he was found as a teenager, floating on a shipwreck off the nothern coast. The fishermen that found him was from Dagger's Cliff, a town full of honest trickery. They rob off the haughty rich, but help the pitiful poor. They tend to base their actions of other people, and Gunfingers was one of the helpful type.
Gunfingers said he did not know who he was, and that the only thing he could remember was his last name, but nothing else. And soon, he proved himself useful. When the winter came, he apparently had skill with a hunting rifle, and brought back many innocent rabbit meat for the villagers. He also turned out to be a good swordsman, handling a blade with a style like no other men.
Years past, and so did the fight between the Empire and the Republic. Trade prospered and the village grew. The Age of Adventurers started, and so did Gunfinger's career. Gunfingers was probably 18 when the age of adventurers started, and he didn't dream about anything. .The man offered Gunfingers some sort of job, and said it included weapons. Gunfingers agreed and followed the man out around Empire.
Gunfingers met many people; street gangs, adventurers, treasure hunters and many more from across the continents. The reason why was because the man that offered him the job was a black-marketeer. Starting from a port, Gunfinger's life became treacherous. After 15 years of travelling to every corner of Axium, Gunfingers had a famous amount of bounty wanted fo his head. Not pretty much large, but he was rather good with guns and at melee, it made him into some sort of infamous hero.
At one point, he was invited to a tournament. It was a free-styled live tourney, the match-ups made up on the spot, and everyone gets hurt, but with less damage. The worst damage the tourneey do was deep wounds and small bullet wounds, due to the modified bullets they give out. Even swords were allowed, but since the matches were monitored, no one actually died.
Gunfingers had done well, until he met Faerisa Alcheis.
He haven't heard of anyone by the name, and he found himself staring from time to time at his opponent. She was certainly distracting him on purpose, even during the duels. Walking around with an air of arogance, Gunfingers had noticed that she let the veil of pride down when she looked at him. And finally, the effect of the distraction took it's toll.
When Gunfingers had the chance to pull the trigger on his Phantom Cruiser and win the duel, he didn't. But Fareisa had pulled out a Raven 7 and shot him directly on the shoulder, which punched through his coat and into the shoulder. Gunfingers fell into a faint, as his last vision was of the sweet-faced, but non-smiling image of Fareisa.
When he woke up, the tourney was over. Fareisa was sitting beside him, with the scoreboad being displayed. Fareisa had only gotten to the semi-finals, but she was victorious nonetheless. From there, Fareisa followed him, and together, Gunfingers black marketing had even gained him even further fame and both braved the deep of Axesium's dungeons, hunting for treasure of value, until one day...
