Powers and Abilities

Demon Blood Curse – Pseudo Demon Physiology: Bishop’s body and soul is stained with the blood of many demons that were slain by him, and in retaliation, they cursed him. The curse makes him unable to die from old age but it doesn’t prevent him from getting killed, he simple stops aging after a certain point. The curse also makes it that he will one day be killed by a demon, and when that happens, his soul becomes theirs to torture for eternity. This also, however, yielded some unexpected side effects. He’s stronger, faster, has heightened senses, minor regeneration, and sturdier than normal humans and can detect demons or any unholy aura in an area around him(roughly 50 meters, though the further it is the less precise it is). To put it in more tangible perspective he’s can be compared to a Servant from the Fate series, amazing physical and or magical abilities with a few weaknesses. Bishop’s stats are:

Strength: B
Agility: A
Durability: C
Endurance: B
Magic: C

(Ratings are from D to A to S, D being the lowest, A being Powerful, and S being Godlike)

Shapeshiftting – Avian: Bishop also gained the ability to change his form, though he has a great affinity with birds. While he is able to change into other beings, humans included, there are a few conditions. First he has to be incredibly knowledgeable of the being he’s to transform into, down to the muscle movements. Second, he has to practice immensely to be able to transform into the being perfectly and maintain it otherwise it will fail. Bishop choses to just stick with birds, the Eurasian Eagle Owl being his immediate go to transformation, since he doesn’t need to have a specific facial pattern like humans and studying their physical characteristics is much easier. The transformation time also shortens depending on how familiar he is with the form with his eagle owl transformation being the fastest at less than a second. Other bird transformations are a peregrine falcon, a pigeon, and a parakeet, though these take a few seconds to change into. His enhanced physical condition also translates into his avian forms and he can also communicate via telepathy, although this only means he can speak directly into someone's head. Other than that, he cannot probe or assault anyone mentally.

Elemental Feather Magic: Bishop is able to use various elements for combat and espionage purposes, although his skill pales in comparison to a real wizard. With his training he’s able to create and enchant feathers with elements and use them as various projectiles. He throw them as darts, have them drift and linger in the air like mines, or extend and harden them to become make shift knives or swords. He can also enchant the feathers on his body when transformed, like coating himself in fire or lightning without causing himself harm. His only limit is his imagination when it comes to its usage however; one flaw of this power is the fact the feathers change color. An observant foe can pick up on which element he’s going to use by just watching. Same applies for his custom magitech gun, Hunting Shadow. He posses some healing magic but he's only able to close small to medium sized wounds and known poisons. Life threatening wounds are beyond and specially made poison cocktails his ability.

Highly Skilled Combatant: Being trained and mastering several different martial art disciplines, Bishop is more than capable in a fight. Combined with his pseudo-demon physiology, he’s a force to be reckoned with. He prefers to fight with weapons rather than with his fists with knives, guns, and his trusty katana being his go to arms. His fighting style is uses a lot of deception and underhanded strategies and tricks. On the off chance he does encounter someone he wants to fight fairly, he the style of kenjutsu taught to him by Queen.

Espionage: Bishop’s first specialty is scouting which later included assassination. He has remarkable skill with tracking and hunting, and with his shape shifting ability he’s able to remain undetected for days. He is especially effective in terrain with heavy foliage. This is also includes computer know how, though he is most familiar with hacking into magitech computers.

Weapon:

Katana - Inherited blade from Queen. Unknown origin but he knows that it's no ordinary blade as it's indestructible and has never shown signs of wear and tear. Always at it's sharpest and has some divine property that makes it effective against evil spirits and demons. Also can summon gusts of wind that can be used to attack or defend, though Bishop has no clue how to use this particular ability on command. He is trying to find out its origins and name, unaware that the sword is a reforged fragment of the Kusanagi.

Hunting Shadow - a custom made magitech revolver made specifically for Bishop. Fire concentrated magic that absorbs it from Bishop through contact which he can imbue with elemental properties like fire or ice. Has various modes, like silenced, burst fire, or explosion rounds, that can be activated via voice command or the dial located on the grip. Contains 6 shots and takes 2 seconds to reload.

Glock 34 MT Gen 4: A regular handgun made using magictechnology. Bishop can’t use this the same way as the Hunting Shadow, but uses normal 9mm rounds which lessens the strain on him when facing human enemies. Light but durable, Bishop keeps this with him at all times and has customized it to suit his needs.

Miscellaneous Abilities:

Cooking, Baking, and Bartending: Bishop is a great cook and his skills have only gotten better with time. His time in Tokyo and working at various places expanded his repertoire giving him a lot of experience with baking and bartending as well.

Music, dancing, and singing: Bishop was taught how to play the guitar and sing by Chevalier. He was also taught how to dance by Knight, just in case he had to blend in at a formal party.

Language - Knows how to speak several languages (German, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Italian, French) with English and Japanese being the most fluent. He mostly relies on the Oracle device he has to translate so he hasn't really developed the others outside of a few phrases and can make a sentence to convey simple things.
