Diligence

~Diligence~

I'm a bitch,
I'm a lover,
I'm a child,
I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner,
I'm a saint,
and I do not feel ashamed.
I'm your hell,
I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between.
You know you wouldn't want it any other way.

~General Appearance; Diligence's appearance is fairly simple to understand. His waist length pink, layered hair is always flowing free until he uses his ability. Beware because you might be in for a shock one morning when his long flowy hair has suddenly become chin short! But hey, he probably just had a rough night. Always present in his hair is one single lock on pure white hair that falls to his chest.
Purple eyes listlessly stare from his vampiric pale skin upon his face which only adds onto his mostly emotionless demeanor.

When it comes to Diligence's clothes it is leather, leather, leather baby! The only way to go is some nice tight purple and black leather to accent his body. This top is a simple sleeveless shirt styled much like the Amestris Military jackets. Two black belts wrap around his right shoulder and attach to a third belt around his waist. Arm warmers adorn both arms from above his biceps to cover the back of his hands and leave his palms open. They are kept on at the wrist by a silver bracelet. His left hand holds two silver rings upon his pointed and middle finger while his right hand remains free. His nails are also a good length and painted purple.
Diligence's pants are a tight black leather that puts emphasis on all the right areas. They lightly flare out at the bottom where one can see black leather military styled boots with a silver lining and toe.
But wait! What is this coat that he has? Some think it might belong to Olivia, others think it's just coincidence. Did he steal Olivia's coat?!

~Overall Personality; Diligence, in short, is a man with a Mine Complex who loves to control people. On a good day Diligence will bark orders and clean up this and that. His OCD nature is apparent when something is disorganized or messy. He feels it is almost impossible to do work when something is a mess. How anyone can work with a huge mess is beyond him!
When he isn't cleaning Diligence is known to he a controlling hardass which is where he got his nickname as the "Ultimate Hardass." He uses smooth talking to totally twist situations to please and entertain him as anything else is totally unacceptable.
Bring Master Cain/Able into the picture and Diligence is the best shining little angel in the world! Everything he does is for the Lord or his Masters. Somehow he always has something to say to make his actions seem just in their eyes. However, when the life expectancy of his dear leader is brought up his spirit is crushed and he becomes a sincere and determined being. He has sworn his whole being to help his Master and no one or nothing could ever change his mind. He is as loyal as anything when it comes to his Master(s).

Then there is his manly side! Diligence can be a pervert at the worst of times and at the best of times. Mostly it's the worst of times but who really pays that much attention? His favorite subject so far is his 'pet' Kindness who is so easy to sway this way and that with his smooth words! But he can also sway quiet the nice passerby to get what he wants whether it be information or some item that has caught his eye.
Speaking of eye-catching items it is best to keep anything fuzzy or soft away from Diligence else you are willing to get rid of it. Hell, even if you aren't willing you'll be loosing it. He loves fluffy/soft/fuzzy things and will have them no matter what!

~Full History; Rush Valley was clear and full of bright stars on this fate-filled night. The silent winds carried the early screams of the newborn before it was settled in its mother's arms. This newborn was named Demi Lourdes V as he was born as the first child of the Lourdes family. Demi Lourdes IV and his wife Raisa were full of joy as their love brought forth a new life.

The name of Demi Lourdes came with big shoes to fill and there was much expected from all first born children of the Lourdes family whether male or female but Demi was determined to be the best first child his family could ever hope for. From a young age Demi was exposed to alchemy from the teaching's of his father; only the eldest child was allowed to learn and practice alchemy but only for the protection of the rest of the family. It was a sworn oath of the Lourdes to never use the science against any being except for the defence of another's or one's own well being. Demi learned this the hard way when he was nine and got angry at his sister which ended up with some quickly scribbled symbols and accidentally blowing the head off of the doll instead of simply scaring his sister by deforming it. That was the day Demi got the whooping of his life and he learned his hatred of belts.

At the age of twelve Demi was fairly well along in his alchemy studies as his determined nature and great work ethic kept his studies as his top priority. Of course this drive might have been from a pretty little neighbor girl named Lidia. Or maybe he was just simply that way. However, many times one could see the young boy glancing at the brown haired female with curious eyes. Demi refused to go speak with her when requested by family. He always said that his job as the eldest was more important than some neighbor girl, especially with another sibling on the way.

Demi's first sibling was Flour, a female who came into Amestris when he was five. This was the sister who had her doll's head blown off. Demi's second and final sibling was Annie with a thirteen year difference. (His parents were 33 at the time of her birth, being 20 when he was born.)
With these two females being under him in age, Demi became the protective big brother as well as somewhat of a drill sergeant for them. He was always watching over them and making sure they were on task. One little slip up and he would chew them out in a brotherly way as he tried to get them back on track. Demi was a boy who had a great motto: All work and no play makes Demi a happy & well-off boy. But he wasn't completely against playing as one could find him entertaining his sisters from time to time.

Years passed and the young boy turned into a young man. His errand boy job as a youth turned into a bartender job at a local inn and the neighbor girl of bothersome possibilities turned into a close friend and potential girlfriend. Life was good in Rush Valley! Sure there was the occasional uprising of some activity but those always went quiet quite quickly. There wasn't much Demi could really complain about and perhaps that was a good thing.

That was when things started to all go wrong in the wrong way. At first things seemed great. Demi was getting ready to step up to the next level with Lidia. His co-workers had been pushing him for some time but he always said his work was more important than a relationship. Finally he gave in and set some of his determination towards giving a little more attention to the girl who understood his drive. She never did complain about where his attention went so why not gift her something for how understanding she was?
Leaving work one night Demi held a special gift for Lidia tightly in his arms. His steps were swift as he hurried to pick her up from her work. This was the night...this was it! But he was running late. Despite bad feelings he took a few shortcuts here and there. The night was cloudy and dark but his years as a delivery boy gave him a pretty good knowledge of the town layout.
Footsteps skidded to a halt as Demi came to a scene playing out before Lidia's work. His girl was being pushed, prodded, and pulled by these two drunk men. Two drunk men he had personally made leave the Inn bar because they were creating a ruckus. Shouting at them he quickly made his presence known as he pushed a hand onto a transmutation circle drawn onto the ground. The road shot up and smashed into the two men as they were pushed back. Demi ran to Lidia to make sure she was alright. He tried to usher her away to safety but then he heard a scream and everything stopped.

Before long people gathered at the scene where the two men were bloody and tied up and Lidia was crying in the arms of her mother. A body covered in a dark jacket was soon removed and Demi Lourdes IV and Demi Lourdes III went into quick study.

Demi Lourdes IV was never buried. His body was burned and his remains split into four part. These four parts were separately crushed into a small diamond and given to the four women in his life; His Mother, his two sisters, and Lidia Marks.


A night exactly like that of when Demi Lourdes V was born came again to Rush Valley... Two grown men stood in their basement, a large circle drawn on the floor. In the center of the circle was many ingredients piled together. Dark stains could be seen on the pile and blood dripped down the hands of the two men. Their blank stares were set upon the pile as they knelled down and pressed their hands on the chalk circle. There was so much pain in the lives of those they loved and even in their own lives because Demi had died. A glow enveloped the room, smoke billowed, and pain erupted in the bodies of the two men.
Footsteps rang on the stairwell and the door was slammed open. They had started too late, someone was home. The men gasped apologies to Lidia Marks as she entered the room. They asked her to say things to their family before they passed on. As smoke cleared and Lidia cried her eyes fell upon a static faced, pink haired thing semi-rising from the floor. Her scream echoed through the house, the monster with her love's hair squirming and moving about. Her body fell to the ground as she passed out. Diligence had been born.

Lucky for Diligence the passed out female did not have her diamond on her at the time. He squirmed a bit as if to near the three bodies but the sound of another being pulled his attention to the doorway. A man stood there and he introduced himself as Cain. He offered a hand of red stones to Diligence (as well as some 'clothes' for a certain area in case it was visible) and took the newly born homunculus under his wing.

Diligence moved to Lior with Cain and learned of his predicament with his brother, Father Abel, as well as their goals. He lived for quite some time with the brothers before others started to join him. He grew a deep bond with both men and learned that they would not live long with how they were connected. A new goal was added onto helping create a Utopia...a goal to help Master Cain and Father Abel live on. A goal to get Master Cain his own body so a Utopia may stay a Utopia. "Our Utopia would only be a happy and safe place to live if Master Cain and Father Abel are not there with us. I will not accept our Utopia until they stand by our sides..."


~Other Miscellaneous Stuff~

~Roleplay Sample; It was quiet in Diligence's study room. Only the sound of a clock ticked through the still air and a small mouse squeaked here and there. Quick as a gun shot the sound of a book slamming against a wall echoed down the hall. "Damn it!" sounded quickly after and then the slamming of fists on a desk.

Diligence sat at his book covered desk, papers strewn here and there. Red and black markings filled the books and covered texts. This was his research, one of his utmost main goals. Sometimes he even thought this more important than Master Cain's goal. It was selfish, yes, and it was Greedy, completely...but it was his one wish. Unlike the others, he didn't give a crap about his past life. Obviously people loved him enough to bring him back but they were dead so who cared? What mattered was the now, not the past. The past was gone...he only had to look forward to the future! And his future was going to be with Father Abel and Master Cain! But not if he couldn't figure this out. Every night Diligence sat in his study room and looked through books upon books to try and find a way to separate two souls from one body and put one into another without killing someone or hurting someone or doing anything wrong. So far there was nothing.

Diligence stood up from his desk and swiped an arm across the right side of his desk, books and papers flying everywhere from the swing. "Why...? Why can't I find something?!" he shouted out to the air as his hands clenched into fists once more. Deep breaths calmed him down slightly before he plopped back into his seat. His head fell into his hands as he tightly gripped his hair. "Why...is this so...hard...? I just need a simple solution to a complex yet simple problem. I just want to save his life...is that too much to ask...?" he whispered to himself before training his eyes up to the ceiling and to heaven, "What did he do to deserve this, God...? And why won't you show me an answer? Is it because I'm a Sin? Because I should be dead...? But still...why punish him because of me? Please...just help me save him..." He closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. Shaking his head he stood up once more.

Heading to the back of his room he grabbed a few books and returned to his table. Fresh books, newly bought from the store, and they all contained alchemy. Diligence, in forgetting his past, forget everything he learned about alchemy. It was like he had to start over from scratch...no it was exactly the fact that he had to start over from scratch. But unlike his youth, he couldn't practice. Had Diligence known he used to do alchemy it might have been a reason for him to want to remember. Maybe if he did remember he would remember maybe once learning about something to save Cain.

After a few minutes another book was chucked into a useless pile which had been growing quite quickly in the last few days. Probably about time he did something with those...but he really didn't care. It only became a problem when the pile threatened to suffocate him.
"All these things tell me nothing... All I find is this stupid stone...this stone which is the original of that which keeps us alive...Philosopher's Stone. What kind of a name is that anyways...?" Diligence muttered to himself as he ran a hand through his hair. Pushing himself from his chair he left his room and headed down the hall. He needed some air before he drove himself crazy. Besides, he needed his sanity for the coming fight with the Sins. That was something he couldn't just pass up on. Especially getting to punch that Slot in the face! How dare they shirk their duties! Diligence is key to a successful life!
~Anything Else; Eldest Saint & Doesn't really care about his memories of the past.
If one ever calls Diligence 'Dili' he hears the feminine voice of Lidia shouting 'Devi' in his mind. This instantly pisses him off and he goes into a mad rage.
Diligence's ability deals with his luscious pink hair! Diligence holds the power to control his hair's length, strength, flexibility, and the like. He can make daggers of his hair to stab you or perhaps snakes to wrap around your neck and strangle you. You never know just what's gonna come from that gorgeous head of his.[/font]

[Cain & Abel Eden]

Only one problem I see deary. Homunculus do not start out whole when they are reborn. Take Ed's mother for example. They had to feed her red stones until she looked somewhat human again. If you could fix that for us, we would love you forever ^^
