Character Description
Physical Appearance(s):
Disguised Appearance "Andrew Yew"
Default Appearance "Burkhard May"
Personality:
Bucky is mischievous and sometimes impulsive, often disguised under a reserved and serious persona. His free-spirited nature is a trait shared by his siblings though his youth makes him more stubborn and reckless than they are, which tends to be a headache for Ken to raise alone. While it doesn't necessarily make him egoistical, Bucky likes to show off and act cool at times, which he would sometimes copy his siblings' mannerisms or try to pose and say catchphrases.
However, Bucky is also kind-hearted and likes to help out people when he could and a more gentle behavior would often make him appear a lot like their mother at times, especially in his default form with his long blonde hair.
Backstory
The May Siblings are children of a powerful and mysterious sorceress known as the Witch in Green. The siblings are not related to each other by blood but were given a home and family by the Witch in Green, and loved each other dearly. That said, the Witch in Green is a rather odd figure whose identity and past remain a mystery and forgotten in the tides of history, including her true name.
The Witch in Green and her children lived in her domain hidden away within the human world for many centuries, her children currently reaching hundreds in age. Her domain is known as the Vanishing Tower and it is a spire of crystal, ice, and demonic magic. It was guarded by a powerful chimera known as The Beast of the Vanishing Tower (trademarked by Ken) and served as the protector of the Witch and her children. However, one day a powerful demon invaded their home and brought a great tragedy to their home.
In battle, the Witch managed to drive away the demon but was gravely injured while their beloved guardian sacrificed its life by protecting the children. In its loving memory, the Witch used a portion of her remaining years to craft a boy from its remains and became her youngest child.
Burkhard, his name meaning protector in remembrance of the Beast of the Vanishing Tower. Severely injured from the battle and an ancient curse becoming severe as she weakened, she eventually fell ill before dying, causing the family to split apart. Her remains were buried within the ownership of Vanishing Tower and were passed onto Drake to guard the graves of their mother and protector.
Meanwhile, Freida left to overcome the grief with hatred toward demons. She would join the Protocol under the alias Misery and hunted demons for many years and eventually another family with the organization, though not above his relationship with her siblings.
As for Ken, he took Bucky to live a normal life in the Human World, where he left his days as a mage behind and set up a bookstore known as "Loraine's Library", which was inspired by one of their mother's aliases during her time in the human realm in the past.
Over the years, Bucky would live a normal life knowing only about his elder brother and his absent sister. The day came when he discovered his magical abilities at the age of fifteen and because he was a homunculus, they revealed the true nature of their family origin and taught him how to control his powers, which Bucky was incredibly ecstatic to learn. He was incredibly surprised to learn about his other brother, Drake, whom the two had kept secret.
Still, the siblings didn't reveal anything about their past, like how Bucky wasn't really human or how their mother died and they didn't really want to talk about it. Bucky didn't push it either as he recognized that they were still grieving and was willing to wait until they were ready.
Years passed on and Bucky was now nineteen. Drake had suddenly disappeared from the Vanishing Tower and lost all contact with him. Overhearing the matter and having little to no plans about his future and career, Bucky decided to become a devil hunter as he already fitted the requirements to be one, only lacking in experience.
Bucky sought the opportunity to become a mercenary and joined in the search to find his brother, running away from home while leaving a note about his future plans, much to his older sibling's chagrin. Under the alias of Andrew Yew, he's pretty much being hunted down by Ken while Freida continued her search for Drake.
Setting out into a magical but dangerous world, there is a weave of conspiracies and machinations behind the scenes. Bucky is barely aware of the details of their past and his journey to unravel the mystery will not only end with finding his brother.
Traits
ᚠᚪᛚᛋᛖ ᚠᛖᛋᛋᛖᛚ (Shapeshifting)
His mere body is but a vessel built from the remnants of a powerful chimera and ancient magic. His body is structured differently from normal living organisms and has been built to control its shape according to the user's growth and development. Discovering his magical potential and honed through meditation, he was able to tap into the magical aspects of his body and learned how to modify his appearance (changing the coloration and style of his skin, eyes, hair, etc.) and change form. Currently has two forms.
ᛞᛁᚠᛁᚾᛖ ᚳᚩᚱᛖ (Energy Source)
Artificial life born from the mysterious ways of the Witch in Green, she crafted a heart and soul from her own and made his vessel from the flesh and blood of her deceased guardian. A homunculus that believed to sustain himself by eating flesh and magical energies within his environment.
His core, or heart, takes on a mechanical appearance with a plant-based structure inside used to absorb light through a medium, such as his skin and hair, from any source (magical or not) to be converted into sustenance used both as his source of power and his life. This makes his heart susceptible to extremely hot temperatures and can effectively destroy his heart.
Granting inexhaustible stamina and longevity, his youth is a mere sapling to a great tree that will exceed the lifespan of even his own siblings that may even reach hundreds of millennia.
