Character Demo - "Life at Random Play"

The camera opens to the interior of Random Play, a retro-styled video rental shop filled with shelves stacked with classic films, posters of old blockbusters, and vintage film reels scattered across the counter. The air hums with soft jazz from an old radio. The warm lighting makes the place feel cozy, a stark contrast to the chaotic world outside.
Belle sits behind the counter, blowing a bubblegum bubble while skimming through a film catalog. Wise, on the other hand, adjusts the store's inventory, carefully dusting off some forgotten VHS tapes.

Silver, dressed in his usual relaxed manner, leans against a shelf, flipping through an old magazine.

Belle: "Wise, you know no one's renting VHS tapes anymore, right?"

Wise: "It's about maintaining the aesthetic! Vintage is valuable!"

Silver: "Yeah, yeah. Until you realize half these tapes don't even work anymore."

The doorbell jingles. A customer walks in, looking around nervously before slipping a small envelope onto the counter. Belle picks it up and opens it, revealing a mission request.

Belle: "Another one?"

Silver takes the envelope, his expression shifting from amused to serious. He scans the details-an Etheral outbreak in District 5. The pay is decent, and it's close.

Silver: "Alright. Time to clock in."

The scene transitions to District 5. The city is in chaos, thick Ether fog rolling through the streets. Ethereal creatures emerge, their glowing forms distorting the reality around them.

Silver cracks his neck, unsheathes Void Severance, and vanishes in an instant. He moves like a phantom, slicing through enemies with calculated precision. Each strike is fluid, almost effortless, as he dismantles the threat before him.

The battle escalates when a massive Etheral entity emerges, its body pulsating with energy. Silver lands gracefully on a nearby building, analyzing his opponent.

Silver: "That's a big one. Let's see how fast you fall."

He leaps forward, activating Void Phase. The world around him slows as he dashes through the Etheral's defenses, each slash leaving behind an afterimage. The final strike lands with an explosion of Ether energy, obliterating the creature instantly.

As the last Etheral crumbles into nothingness, Silver sheathes his blade and exhales. The city falls silent once more. He pulls out a small notepad, jotting something down before smirking.

Silver: "Another job well done. Now, back to the shop."

-----------------------------------------------------------
Profile:

Silver Ash, known as "Silver," is an enforcer from Phaethon who relies on speed, precision, and shadow tactics to eliminate enemies. Once a member of a secret organization, he managed to escape after years of service, leaving behind a dark past filled with classified operations. To ensure his freedom, Silver destroyed the very organization that created him, making sure no one would come after him again. Now, he fights for Phaethon, carving his own path while acting as an older brother figure to Belle and Wise, who look up to him as their guiding force.
-----------------------------------------------------------
History:

Silver was once a top-tier operative in an underground organization that specialized in espionage, assassinations, and covert warfare. He was trained from a young age to be the perfect assassin, mastering both traditional and modern combat techniques. However, as the years passed, Silver became disillusioned with the organization's methods and began searching for a way out.

In a daring move, Silver orchestrated the downfall of the very organization that raised him, eliminating its leaders and dismantling its operations from within. With no one left to hunt him down, he vanished into obscurity. It was then that he stumbled upon Belle and Wise, who welcomed him into Random Play without judgment. Now, as a part of Phaethon, Silver uses his skills for a cause of his choosing, ensuring that his past remains buried.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Agent Weapon:

Ether infused katana: Void Severance

"A blade without hesitation. A cut without waste. If you see my sword drawn, it's already over."

Forged from a unique Ether-conducting alloy, Void Severance is more than just a weapon-it is an extension of Silver Ash's precision and lethal efficiency. The katana's edge is honed beyond conventional limits, made to cut through matter and Ether alike, phasing through barriers and striking at an opponent's very essence.

Originally a relic of the organization that raised Silver Ash, this weapon was meant to be wielded by the strongest assassin among them. However, after Silver dismantled the syndicate from within, he took Void Severance as both a symbol of his past and a promise for his future. No longer a tool of silent executions, the blade now serves as a weapon of his own choosing-used only to protect those he values and sever the darkness of his past.

Void Severance's true power comes from Silver's mastery over Ether. By channeling his energy into the blade, he can phase it between dimensions, allowing it to pass through enemy defenses and strike directly at their weakest points. With each swing, the katana leaves behind afterimages of delayed slashes, cutting opponents long after the initial strike has landed.

In battle, those who face Silver often don't realize they've been cut until it's too late. No wasted motion. No second chances. Only the silence that follows a perfect strike.

Cooperation Notes

Wise:

"Silver acts all laid-back, but don't let that fool you. He's always watching, always calculating. I can't tell if I find that reassuring or terrifying."

Belle:

"He's like an older brother who's always cool under pressure. He jokes around, but you can tell he cares. I just wish he wouldn't make fun of my film choices."
