Boring.

Boring boring boring boring boring.

The city bored him to near tears and might have bored him to actual tears were Blue's pride not to get in the way. Lacrosse practice used to be four times a week but fell to twice a week following the local tournament - much to Blue's dismay. So the only after school activity left was demon hunting, but the city had apparently been subjected to a mass exorcism without his knowing because the streets were completely empty. Of course, aside from lacrosse or demon hunting Blue could spend his evenings studying or doing homework, but that is for nerds and he is going to be a professional athlete anyway so, really, academics are worthless.

Blue grabbed a soda at a vending machine, then shook it slightly in hopes of a bonus soda or some loose change. Nothing came out. He heaved an exaggerated sigh and slumped on a bench.

Boring.

Like the youth old people regularly complain about, Blue whipped out his phone and decided to scroll through the same five apps rather than interact with his surroundings.

You have One (1) new message(s).

Maybe something could be done about that boredom.

Anonymous: hey! you're an exorcist right? i hope it doesn't come off as weird, but do you want to be friends?

What? Blue even cocked his head to the side to emphasise his confusion. He was not shy in the slightest - un-shy if anything - but such a forward request and from an anon nonetheless did raise some questions.

Bluekkha: you an exorcist too?

A pause. He was not sure whether they were online or not.

Bluekkha: i mean sure we can be friends tho! just wondering how you found me? i p much only post lacrosse and demonology and neither is popular i think lol

Message sent and now all he had to do was wait. If that anon was a fellow exorcist that might have been exciting - Blue had only met a handful exorcists face to face and none had been the kind of person he wanted to hang out with, so he had grown somewhat resigned to a life of solitary hunting. Them not being an exorcist but being interested in demonology would have been better, because Blue seldom had a chance to share his passion and, more importantly, flex is mad demon hunting skills.

Blue lives life at about twice the speed of regular people. He craves constant excitement and finds boredom unbearable - the extents to which he will go to entertain himself can be... Somewhat extreme, to put it lightly. Causing trouble for the sake of it is not beyond Blue, though it must be said that he is not cruel and would never hurt someone for fun.

Others might find his energy overwhelming. Blue does not seem to realise (nor care) however, and tends to be uncomfortably pushy and direct with people. He is also stubborn as a brick wall; few have had the privilege of hearing an apology from him. This stubbornness does not play well when it comes to teamwork, something Blue either loves or loathes depending on how much his teammates will let him lead. Blue's leadership skills are very much questionable, but that does not stop him from trying.

Despite everything though, Blue is undoubtedly fun to be around. He cracks jokes constantly, and when the occasion arises, is surprisingly considerate. He would be more considerate in general if only he was more attentive of the world around him (and a tad smarter, that too).

Physically, Blue is built for speed first and strength second, much like a cheetah. Defence and stamina are his weak suits, mainly because Blue does not believe in the merits of defence, rather going for swift, powerful attacks. Planning of any sort feels superfluous, as Blue trusts his gut above all else and, to be fair, this far his instinct has yet to fail him.

The Beacon

The beacon refers to a combination of two abilities: seeing demons and exorcising demons. While rare, it is possible for someone to only have one or the other. Bearers of the beacon have a mark (intuitively named "the beacon") on the palm of one hand: a dot with a partial ring around it. The dot represents the ability to see demons whereas the ring reflects the ability to exorcise - the fuller the ring, the stronger the demons that can be exorcised. Most with the beacon only have a fragment of the ring. However, throughout history there have only been a handful of exorcists with a full ring and, while unproven, there are even rumours of people with multiple rings around the dot.

Nowadays, demon exorcising is redundant. High-ranking demons are dealt with by a specialised police force, whereas lesser demons' powers are considerably weakened by energy barriers set up around urban areas. Demons are more prolific in rural areas, however, as demons feed off human energy, the demons that inhabit rural areas are considered inoffensive.

The exact science behind the beacon and demons is still being researched. The beacon exorcises demons through releasing a specific type of energy that can, and has been, artificially replicated to deal with demons at a larger scale. When exorcising, it is strongly advised that an exorcist channel the energy through an object (staffs have been historically associated with this), as touching a demon before it dies can curse the exorcist.

The Demons

Much like viruses, there is debate as to whether demons can be classified as living beings or not. The general consensus is that they are not, as demons do not reproduce (they seem to spontaneously appear, though the how of this is still unknown) and do not appear to have a cellular structure. Studying demons is complicated due to the fact that once exorcised they simply disappear without leaving anything behind. The can also spontaneously disappear if under too much stress, or if they have lived too long.

Almost all demons fit into one of four ranks. Due to the aforementioned problems with studying demons, the ranks are more of a guideline indicating the level of threat. There is a high amount of variability within ranks and it is not uncommon for a demon to be between ranks.

C-rank

The weakest demons, C-ranked ones are inoffensive. They live to roughly one month and, in life, seem to float around aimlessly whilst feeding off human energy. They do not seem capable of responding to stimuli. Almost every exorcist can exorcise them.

B-rank

A-rank

S-rank

S-ranked demons cannot be weakened through energy barriers and only very few exorcists can finish them. These demons pose a significant threat to humanity; being an average of twenty metres tall, their movements alone can destroy property, alongside causing earthquakes and tsunamis. When one is found the entire surrounding area is evacuated. Thankfully however, these demons are extremely rare, with one or to appearing every century.

Tobias is a weirdo, honestly. He's not from around here but I mean that literally - he's from space; and you'd think, you'd think, he'd be somewhat careful about not making it obvious! But aside from being a weirdo he's also... Not the brightest star in the milky way, so here we are I guess.

Real talk though? I'd say he's a pretty chill guy. Tobias is in my same class and we hang out together after school sometimes. He gets really excited about everything like, movies? He loves them. Arcades? Loves those too. Cafes? I have to physically stop him from OD'ing on coffee. Random but I also wanted to add that he's stupidly good at maths and if I'm passing that class it's about 80% thanks to him.
