Base Class: Fighter
DEMON SLAYER CLASS Class Details
For centuries demons have roamed the planes of existence, tormenting the populace of cities, towns and villages across them. They devour the bodies of their prey to gain strength, and play with their corpses to drive their cruel nature. No matter how many times the demons were cut to pieces, they would not perish. There was nothing that the people could do about their imminent slaughter, until a wandering swordsman with cold white eyes started traveling throughout the world. With a magical blade forged by ancient materials and techniques, they’d destroy all the demons that crossed their path until the demons retreated.
This mystery swordsman would go on to teach his skills to new generations of warriors to carry on as the world’s protectors against the demons of the world. These warriors have gone on to become known as the Demon Slayers, and established the Demon Slayer Corp to protect the world from demon threats.
[This Class was originally typed out in a Google Doc, and efforts are being made so that it will properly be able to be built using the character creator as best as possible!]
