Incoming massive spree of villain CSs. First starring Macbeth, a returning villain. [hr] [quote=Demon Soldier]"[i]I stood before him, frozen in fear. He walked by without grace, hesitation, and warmth; only the terrifying cold followed him."[/i][/quote] [center][img]http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p516/NarayanK/asdf/macbeth_wallpaper_zpsn2prfg4r.png[/img][/center] [hider=Macbeth Theme][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5unQWuD32wY[/youtube][/hider] [center][u][b]Name[/b][/u] Macbeth [u][b]Age[/b][/u] Unknown [u][b]Gender[/b][/u] Male [u][b]Species/Race[/b][/u] Demon[/center] [center][b][u]Powers[/u][/b][/center] [indent][i]Cold Flux[/i] - Macbeth affects temperature and blood pressure around him at a small radius. The more he sticks around a human being or an angel, the colder and more durable his body becomes. The cold around him can drop [i]anyone's[/i] blood pressure (regardless of species, including demons). Holy spells are immediately dispelled when they enter the radius, giving Macbeth an increased regeneration effect. [i]Witch Hunt[/i] - If there are three or more people within a radius that scales to the size of a gladiatorial coliseum, Macbeth will have massively increased resistance physical attacks and immunity against magic spells. Note that his Cold Flux radius is deceivingly large. [i][b]Demons[/b] cannot fulfill the requirements of this ability.[/i] [i]Ice Man[/i] - Macbeth's spells cannot be manipulated like regular ice. He also has excessive powerful resistance against offensive ice spells. [i]Painless[/i] - Macbeth is completely immune to spells that only induce pain, and has a naturally tough defense that mitigates a large input of the damage he gets. [i]Death Through Birth[/i] - When Macbeth dies, he will be automatically encased in a large chunk of ice. After seven days, Macbeth will reawaken and lose half of the powers his blade gained (Macbeth does not lose any of his sword's powers if he already collected more than 300 chunks of blood). [b]Macbeth will be emotionally influenced by spells cast nearby or on his tomb of ice.[/b] [i]Sacrificial Rite[/i] - As the [b]Sacrificial Rite[/b] grows stronger, Macbeth becomes stronger as well. An enemy struck by the Rite will empower it permanently by small amounts of energy surges, but hitting them again will not grant any more sacrifices to the Rite. Once Macbeth gains [i]300[/i] stacks of blood packs, the Sacrificial Rite [i]gains the ability to banish projectiles into nothingness by slicing through them, dispelling illusion effects, and forcefully unsummon summoned creatures. It will also boil and burn the wounds he inflicts unless he activates Sub-Zero Scepter.[/i] [/indent] [center][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b][/center] [indent][i]Thane of Glamis[/i] - While Macbeth is powerful against angels, he has less of a chance to win against powerful humans. Macbeth heavily relies on his Cold Flux to face humans and human-related species. [i]Blood[/i] - Macbeth is a formidable opponent, but he requires the blood of demons to be fully effective. Every once in a while, he picks out random demons and kills them for the Sacrificial Rite. [i]Moral[/i] - Macbeth, while being a loyal servant to the Sacrificial Rite and Lucifer, has a sense of moral he himself is not used to. If something shakes this moral, he usually hesitates in finishing his jobs. [i]Fear[/i] - Macbeth tends to use fear to strike efficiently. While this is a trait that gives him advantages over his enemies, he too is able to feel fear as well. He is afraid of certain things, though they are neither fire nor death. This fear is also supported by his out-of-place moral.[/indent] [center][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/center] Macbeth's sword does some of the talking and cutting, while Macbeth carries the sword. While the two of them do synchronize well in terms of power and authority, the weapon tends to stay asleep for long periods of time. Macbeth learns through what he does and what others tell him, and he never draws his sword on others first. [i]He cannot bring himself to strike down royal figures (ie. kings and princesses) without his sword's permission.[/i] Macbeth's weapon is slowly losing control of itself, which is the reason why it wants to bask itself in the blood of demons, return back to its original form, and kill Macbeth before things go completely out of hand. Macbeth rarely talks. [center][b][u]Background[/u][/b][/center] By the time Lucifer had taken control over his full powers once more, a large tomb of ice was discovered in a frozen wasteland nearby Hell. It had been illuminating a strange light, and it reeked of magic, letting most of the demons who saw it shiver in fear. Why it was so near, yet so far from Hell was a mystery, but it was eventually decided among some of Lucifer's officers that some of their men should go out and retrieve the strange tomb of ice. At first, the ten soldiers sent out to retrieve the tomb of ice came back with nothing, claiming that when they neared it, it vanished into nothingness. Confused and somewhat daunted by the tomb's apparent illusion, some of the officers decided to lead the second squad sent to retrieve the strange object. Nothing was to hide from Hell, after all, and it certainly would anger their leader if he found out that they were unable to do something so simple as searching for an object. But again, they found nothing, only staring off into the wasteland. Eventually, Lucifer returned and, severely disappointed with the officers' incompetence, ordered them to find the object in two days. Just when all hope seemed to be lost after a day flew by, one of the officers, who decided to use an illusion-detecting item, found the tomb. The instant moment he laid a finger on it, the tomb revealed itself to everyone. Much to their horror, an armored man, who had a sword stabbed through his very skull, lied within the ice prison. Once the news of its discovery had been revealed, Lucifer demanded to see this "Ice Man" for himself. When it was brought before him, he observed it thoroughly... before he suddenly began to melt the unmelting ice. His men watched in astonishment and confusion as their lord burned down the prison. Eventually, only the Ice Man himself remained frozen, standing as if he were in eternal pain. Not everything was meant to be frozen. And some things were better off frozen. The sword, which stuck cleanly out of the ice, suddenly glowed, oozing out large pulses of dark energy. It yearned for the blood of demons, the blood of humans... and most interestingly, the deaths of angels. Lucifer, amused, yet surprised by this sword's malicious intentions, managed to calm it down. The blade, with the voice of a battalion of fallen men and women, introduced itself as the Sacrificial Rite. Its original owner was apparently a demon who sought out after the destruction of heaven, and wanted to use the power of his own men with his own hands. Once it revealed its origins to Lucifer, it was only then that the king of Hell decided that he may have some use for this strange blade. After a lengthy discussion with a persistent weapon of death, Lucifer managed to get the blade on his side. The instant moment the deal was made, the final remains of the ice encasing the Ice Man shattered. The armored warrior dropped on his knees, confused in where he was. The Rite simply told him, with a soothingly sinful voice, "Do not worry... I- no, [i]we[/i] are here to guide you." The Sacrificial Rite told the revived warrior that it revived him for the purpose of having someone capable of using it. The armored Ice Man, though he had no clue as to who he was, and who he was exactly serving, decided to comply. He, after all, did feel that disobeying someone who just saved his life was a sign of arrogance. Lucifer was impressed by the Sacrificial Rite's power. But rather than the stubborn weapon, he found more interest in the Ice Man himself. This warrior- this confused, yet battle-hardened warrior- seemed like he would serve well for his revenge. Speaking words of genuine truth, and a longing for a vengeance he wished to enact as soon as possible, Lucifer, the king of all demons, told the warrior, "You are [i]Macbeth[/i]. And I order you to follow my orders, and get me the revenge I've always wanted." Macbeth telepathically requested the Sacrificial Rite to ask Lucifer a question. "Who must I kill, he says," said the blade as if it were giddy, longing to taste blood again. At this, Lucifer could not help but smile at this naïve man. "Brightendale," the traitor of Heaven said, his deceivingly kind face remaining the same. "Lily and Melody Brightendale." The Ice Man nodded. He now got the basic gist of his purpose: he was to serve this man, Lord Lucifer, as well as his savior, the Sacrificial Rite. And he was to bring the snow of death upon the Brightendales, along with every single being that was related to them.
