Solus Grim is indeed a strange fellow when it comes to looks. He constantly claims that he is human and yet he looks more demonic than most Demons, who prefer to select a more human form so they can blend in among the humans. His body for the most part is humanoid in nature, close enough to be human, yet his face, or his facial disfigurement, is what makes him stand out from the crowd, so to speak.

People like to refer to his facial appearance as that of “The Void Guide” himself, a mystical godly figure usually transcribed in religious texts. Though only as a reference for his difficult to describe facial features in a more simple manner.

His face consists of sunken in hardened flesh that has an almost rock like texture and strength yet the flexibility of human flesh. It’s structure reveals the man’s skeletal frame of the skull around the eyes and nasal cavity. He has no actual lips, but ones that appear to have been crudely cut out with a blade, creating a zigzag-esque line from one side of the face to the other. But even that is not the most interesting part about it. Green flames burn out of his eye sockets, nasal cavity and mouth almost all the time. The flames themselves are harmless to the touch.

His upper torso also has similar mutations, from the chin and down to where his abdominals begin, and down his arms until reaching the elbows. His flesh retains the similar rock like texture in that area, which also seems to act as natural dermal armour, protecting the vital organs while the limbs were ignored during the evolutionary process. The rest of his body retains natural human skin, perhaps the original flesh prior to his physical changes.

The man has a muscular, well-toned frame built for combat and punishment. His skin has a strange colour of ash grey. His right shoulder, is etched with a large glyphic tattoo from the collar bone down to half way down the bicep, that seems to emanate magical energies, only detectable by those with a keener and savvier eye of those with expertise in the Arcane. The man also towers at a tall 6 foot 2 inches.

He also has a set of large black wings that appear to be reminiscent of a Falcon, which he can hide inside his body at will. These wings have a total span of 22 feet. Enormous in comparison to the wings of even the largest spans that Angels wield.

His attire makes him stand out even more. He is always dressed in black, wherever he goes. And it’s always in a stylish black leather trench coat covered in more buckles and belts than a gimp outfit of a BDSM club patron, to the point where it looks like a very expensive strait-jacket. Whether it’s for weapon concealment or style is unknown, perhaps it’s for both. After all, an infamous hunter like him needs to look both intimidating and badass at the same time or just outright silly and impractical in some people’s eyes. Though little do those people know that that jacket is layered in thin Kevlar.

Underneath that, he wears a light Kevlar vest that can be easily concealed, even under a tailored tuxedo, to protect his vitals even more. The trench coat can’t stop everything, so that additional layer only adds to Solus’ sense of physical security. And below that all is a simple BDU t-shirt. Finally, adding to the outfit, a pair of baggy leather combat pants and steel toed combat boots to match.

[b]Social Status[/b]: Solus’ true affiliation to any faction is truly unknown despite his infamy. 180 years ago, among Angels he was seen as a dangerous anarchist and terrorist, while Demons across Hell saw him as a powerful mortal who proved not only his mettle, but the true potential of Chimeric kind in a duel to the death against the now deceased Demon Lord of the North, Mephistopheles. Humans on the other hand, have barely heard of him. Those who have only know the story of how he singlehandedly defeated Mephisto, and before his disappearance, was one of the [i]heroes[/i] who killed Judas, but even those legends are convoluted and blurred in the histories. Now-a-days, he's a myth, who disappeared after Judas' death, never to be seen again.

[b]Relations[/b]: It has been 180 years, all of his former contacts are most likely dead.

[b]General Activity[/b]: People once believed that Solus Grim intended to banish both the Angels and Demons from the Surface world, and his actual reasons, motivations and goals are still unknown to this day. And what he has been doing for the past 180 years is yet another mystery.

[b]Abilities[/b]: Solus is both an incredibly powerful Necromancer and Blood Mage by trade.

His Necromantic abilities revolve around manipulating the dead, death, and the essence of the dead. Solus can also communicate with the deceased on some simple level – by taking what is left of their essence and containing it in a storage unit, and partial mixing that essence with his for a temporary amount of time – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.

Many practitioners find a way to cheat Death one way or other, whether by becoming some form of undead creature or by bypassing their own ability to die.

Solus on the other hand, uses this ability to create monsters, raising the dead and twisting, changing the corpses into horrifying monsters that are bound to his will (The twisting and changing of the body requires a dash of blood magic). The monsters range in shape and strength based on the essence that was collected, the weaker the essence, the weaker the monster, and vice versa. Zombies are the easiest to raise and do not even require blood magic.

Solus’ Blood Magic abilities revolve around his own blood and the blood other living things. Blood is important in magic because it represents life force at its most basic nature. By capturing the evaporating essence of a dying body, Solus can dramatically improve the energy of his spells by linking them to the mana of the body. This augmented energy allows the spell to be more powerful but it is also more demanding on him, since he must control the fabrics of the spell and tie it simultaneously to the mana of the dying Soul.

An important component of Blood Magic is the essence in the results it can produce. The sacrifice can't carry more power that the essence it allows it to carry. In context, the essence makes the magic happen, if the essence is weak, it will barely help in the casting of the spell, with more energy needed to be of some use. If the essence is strong, it will produce a more powerful and volatile spell than anticipated, with less energy required.

Solus usually sacrifices his own blood to enhance his offensive spells, slowly weakening himself with each spell he casts. He does not use blood magic for conjuring or for rituals, but simply as a fuel. A fuel that kindles magic his essence simply cannot cast on its own, such as standard Arcane spells, or temporarily enhancing his own weapons, or drain the life force of others to heal himself in battle.

There are 4 different levels of power of such spells. Minor, Medium, Major, and Sacrificial.

Minor, Medium, and Major are as their name states. They feed on the amount of life force based on their name, taking a certain amount of energy from the caster in order to cast a spell of destructive or defensive equal to the amount of energy consumed. Minor spells need little life force, Medium spells need a decent amount of life force, Mayor spells need a considerable amount of life force.

Sacrificial blood magic requires a death of a living creature to cast. Where an Arcane spell would need 12 mages and a powerful pylon to cast it, Blood Magic could cast that same spell with a single sacrifice.

Solus is mostly against sacrificial spells using innocents as fuel, but he does use them with the life force of his dead foes as a method of gaining a vast advantage in a fight against a large wave of enemies.

Solus also has Angelic and Demonic powers.

His Angelic abilities appear to be that of a powerful battle angel, which are his great physical strength, seemingly endless endurance and fast regeneration, no matter the wound. While his demonic abilities are limited to not necessarily a power, but a physical mutation. At will he can spew a black tar like substance from every hole in his body, and shadowy tendrils appear from his back. This substance is a highly infectious demonic disease that mutates humans, angels and demons alike into seeming brainless, shambling monsters that spread this disease by drowning their victims by puking the same substance down their throats. Solus rarely, very rarely, ever uses this... ability. Mostly due to moral concerns.

[b]Equipment[/b]: 

[b][i]Please take note that Solus CANNOT bring all this gear with him. He will have to pick and choose items out of his arsenal based on their weight and how much he can carry without losing his agility and mobility.[/i][/b]

[HIDER=Maledictory Eagle]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/Mal_Eagle4_zps2d3bfc4d.png[/img][/center]

It may not look like much, but it's quite the work of art, a perfect example of human engineering, and a bit of magic. The "Maledictory" Eagle is a weapon of dark power, forged by necromancers, for necromancers. It's standard firing mode fires Depleted Uranium .50 AE ammunition with enough power to knock a demon's head right off its shoulders, while its more interesting, secondary firing mode, fires a magical round that does devastating amounts of damage, and upon hitting something, like a wall for example, creates an high explosive upside down crucifix effect, which leaves behind traces of the users blood. Though this firing mode saps Solus' life force (his blood to be more specific) in order to create the special rounds. The gun has a box magazine of 7 rounds. Strangely, despite it's size, the weapon weights in at hefty 22 kilograms unloaded. It's a mystery how Solus can hold it, let alone fire it accurately.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=Beretta M93R Auto 9, AKA Bulletstorm]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/robocop_gun_zpsef7e65a6.jpg[/img][/center]

This beretta isn't exactly special like the Maledictory Eagle, as this weapon is as standard as they come. It can fire in full auto, and 3 round bursts, has a firing rate of 1100 rounds per minute and is fitted with a 30 round box magazine filled with 9x19mm Parabellum silver-nitrate rounds.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=Sledgehammer Double Barrel Sawed-Off]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/Dante__s_Shotgun_by_MMMurdock_zpsc6fe2807.png[/img][/center]

The Sledgehammer is a dual-barrel shotgun that can be fired single handed, and fires .410 Depleted Uranium slugs. Both barrels can be fired simultaneously, or individually.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=Bonebreaker Quad-Barrel Shotgun]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/eaa00810jpg505x650_q85_zps711b446e.jpg[/img][/center]

This weapon is not only ridiculous in its appearance, but also in its sheer firepower. With all the barrels fired at once this beast can detach a human torso right off the pelvis. It also, like the Sledgehammer, takes .410 Depleted Uranium slugs, and can fire one barrel, two, and even four simultaneously. It has also be fitted with an enchantment that turns the fired pellets into superheated, molten metal shards that dismember demons, as well as setting them ablaze.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=Barrett XM109 25mm Payload Rifle]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/BarrettXM109_zpse2f1c55b.jpg[/img][/center]

The XM109 is an anti-material rifle designed to be used against light armoured vehicles. It is chambered with a 25x59mm cartridge and has a maximum range of 3,600 meters (2.2 miles). Its feeding system consists of a 5-round detachable box magazine and the standard weapon weights 15.1 kilograms. Solus had it fitted with a Mass Mod to decrease it’s weight as well as modified the weapon with motors and gears to create a “storage mode” where the weapon collapses into a more manageable size for transportation. He also fitted the weapon with 25mm High Explosive ammunition, for the one shot kill effect against tougher demons.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=G36k Assault Rifle]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/g361_zpsa01c5d4a.jpg[/img][/center]

The G36k is an assault rifle fitted with a 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge and a gas-operated receiver, with ZF 3x4º Dual Optical Sight, AG36 40mm Grenade Launcher and a Beta-C Drum Magazine that houses 100 rounds of ammunition. The original ammunition has been replaced with 5.56x45mm Ultraviolet cartridges, a new type of demon killing ammo that Solus discovered in possession of a mysterious organization called “the Illuminati”, who made their appearance 200 years ago during the “Loom Calamity”.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=Death Machine M61A2 20mm Vulcan Auto Cannon]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/p0504853_zps8d41b605.jpg[/img][/center]

Weighing in at 92 kilograms, or 202 pounds, this hydraulically driven monster fires 20mm Depleted Uranium ammunition at 6600 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 1050 meters per second, or 3450 feet per second. With its massive fully loaded ammo drum and power supply, it weights as much as a small car, and has the recoil of a jackhammer. Like with the Payload Rifle, Solus drastically decreased its weight and recoil with a Hex-Tech enchantment to make it more manageable to carry and fire, but even with the enchantment, it still weights too much to carry alongside other weapons except for a side arm.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=VX-7 High Frequency Muramasa Blade]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/HFMuramasaFinal_zps7912fd74.png[/img][/center]

A highly advanced Hex-Tech Vibroblade and the only one of its kind, it’s a weapon built to make clean cuts through even the toughest armour time and time again. The blade of the sword itself is a 16th century ceremonial Muramasa blade, made of reinforced steel and gold plating along the surface. The pommel and hilt are a Hex-Tech modification that causes the blade to micro-vibrate at an extremely high frequency through the use of an elemental enchantment, causing that bright green glow and the arching lightning beams along the blade.

Its sheath is a modified M4A1 Assault Rifle Receiver that functions as a quick draw mechanism. Pulling the trigger will fire an explosive charge that blasts the blade out of the sheath and into Solus’ sword hand, making his draws blindingly fast.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=Nekro Chains]The Nekro Chains are a strange set of magical chains that appear from Solus' sleeves. Their origins are unknown. Solus normally uses them to capture and subdue his opponents, and at times, draw them closer for brutal executions, or simply throw them into hazardous environmental hazards. They also have necromantic abilities, but they have yet to be fully witnessed and evaluated.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=The Mustang]

[center][img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m382/aisherlock/ford_mustang_shelby_gt500_front_6psd_zpsf8ef59b6.jpg[/img][/center]

A black hulk of a Ford Mustang Boss that is covered in 3 inches of steel and two M134 Vulcan Miniguns on the hood, and another one right beside the left headlight, emplaced under the hood next to the engine, this monster can out run anything with its V12 engine, hitting 180 miles per hour on straights. Though due to its weight and armour, it turns like a school bus, and Solus is forced to use the handbrake to drift it around corners far more often than he should.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=The House of Grim]

A 3 story art-deco mansion hidden in the high ranges of Mt. Jigger, an hour and a half away from the outskirts of Loom, acts as Solus’ safehouse. It is virtually impossible to find, and the way to it is riddled with magical traps and shadowy monsters. It’s almost like a powerful necromancer’s lair in story books. Hidden from the public eye.[/HIDER]

[HIDER=The Vault]

In the basement of the House of Grim lays a vault, a vault filled with wonder and death. No one but Solus knows what’s in there. And there is no visible way to open it…[/HIDER]

[b]Personality[/b]: He is a man who lives his life on the edge, and cocky with an ego the size of the Sun. But he has the skill to justify his egotistical nature and his undefeated and unchallenged streak as one of the most infamous and successful Demon Hunters in the world, both in Hell and the Surface alike. Though his ego only truly surfaces on the battlefield, where he will be throwing sarcastic and insulting remarks at any opponents with half a brain to both understand and get offended by them, with the sole purpose to piss them off just enough for them to start making fatal mistakes.

Most of the time however, he tries to maintain a stoic, fearless and professional image when conducting business. Whether it’s obtaining new contracts, getting to know new contacts, or simply purchasing equipment from his black market acquaintances.

The chimeric man is strong willed and a bit of a workaholic. When he sets his burning eyes on a goal, he will reach it, even if he loses a limb or two. And he almost seemingly lacks any idea of fear, like the emotion was just, carved out of his brain. Of course there are things that he fears, but he has seen so much horror in his life that very few things faze him. It just takes the right touch to get under his skin.

He is also very wise. Ask him anything, no seriously, ANYTHING. He knows the answer.

[b]Biography[/b]: Solus only became well known 202 years prior, when he traveled beyond the Gates of Hell and into the Northern Realm with the intention of slaying the Demon Lord of Pride and War, Mephistopheles.

It’s a matter of asking any demon who hails from the North, they will tell you the tale word for word. But those who know it better, are Mephisto’s former advisors, who witnessed the battle between the two with their own eyes.

Solus ventured into Hell with a party of three other necromancers like himself, each possessed with an essence of a hellion.
Of course, the smell of human flesh in a place like Hell tends to attract a lot of unsavoury characters. The humans forced to battle the way through to Mephisto, though they have only scratched the surface of his vast armies. By the time Solus reached Mephisto, all of his party members had died. Though Solus only reached Mephisto by getting himself captured, and was granted an audience with the Demon Lord.

Knowing Mephisto's honourable warrior nature, Solus asked for the Right of Challenge, a right given to any warrior to challenge the Demon Lord (whichever one is currently ruling) in a battle to the death, a tradition within Mephisto's realm. While the other Hellions who witnessed Solus spout the Right verbally protested against it, Mephisto stood up, and scanned the human from head to toe with his eyes, then, to his minions' disbelief, requested that they returned the human's weapons, and that he accepted the challenge.

The fight between the two lasted for hours; they tirelessly and relentlessly engaged each other in combat and exchanged powerful blows while Mephisto's minions watched. After several hours of brutal battle, the two were covered in eachother's blood, and both severely wounded, it was when they both briefly stopped fighting just to catch some air when Mephisto said, "Join me, Necromaster. Join me and I could give you the Surface World, Immortality, anything you desire. You have more that proven your power to me. Join me, and we can rule the Three Worlds together!" Solus didn't even answer, but raised his sword for another blow, while Mephisto froze in shock, bewildered that Solus hasn't even bothered to consider his offer. Solus smashed his blade against the top of Mephisto's head, splitting it in two, slaying Mephisto right in front of his advisors and minions. The witnessing Hellions didn't even try to stop Solus as he didn't say a single word, and simply left the ruined Throne Room.
News of Mephisto's death spread faster than a forest fire, before Solus could even reach the Hell Gate, still clutching his wounds, the entirety of Hell, and even most of the Surface World has heard of Mephisto's demise.

It was 20 years later when he gained more infamy when he and a group of other individuals grinded Judas' paranoid campaign to a staggering halt. It is unknown who delivered the killing blow that killed Judas' spirit, though it is believed by many to have been Solus himself. He vanished soon after that, and hasn't been seen for 180 years...
