Alias(s): Death; Reaper; Shadow
Age: Frozen at 32
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 185 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Totally black

Race: Undead

Job Role: Soldier - Solo Reconnaisance and Special Ops

Physical Appearance:
Cho is a pale man of Asian descent, being Korean and all. His eyes, from sclera to iris, are entirely black, and a thin black mist seeps from the corners of his eyes constantly. His flesh, on the whole, is pale and grey, befitting one who is already dead. He has short cropped black hair, akin to a military style left uncut for about a week or two. He is lean and muscled for his height as well. His voice is a normal Asian-American man's voice, but multiplied several hundred times over, like the voice of a veritable legion.

Attire:
Cho's military gear is a short sleeved shirt underneath his tactical vest. The vest itself is a standard issue military-grade tactical vest, replete with ammunition pouches, grenade pouches, straps, the whole nine yards. He also wears urban camoflage fatigues and black combat boots, and black fingered gloves. He also wears a pair of streamlined black sports shades, and wears his dog tags on a chain around his neck. What distinguishes his gear from the other gazillion soldiers in the resistance is that his vest is almost like a part of him. It regrows damage done to it, and blocks everything from a medium velocity bullet to a sword stab, and everything below that level of damage. The vest's attachments onto him are several tendrils of darkness that extend from points on the vest that burrow into his flesh on his neck, shoulders and torso. These tendrils pulse and throb very slightly, since the armour itself is, in a way, alive and a part of him.

Personality:
Cho is rather quiet for a man of his caliber, and for good reason: he is focused and resolute, powered mainly by the tragedy that happened to his dad and grandma. If you talk to him, he'll chat with you at length on whatever subject you wish to discuss, but leave him alone and he'll lapse into a grim, tense silence, punctuated only by the sounds of his equipment being checked, double checked and triple checked for each and every mission.

Equipment:
-Upper Body:

• Reaper's Armour - What used to be ballistic ceramic plating underneath a standard issue ballistic vest. The dark magics within Cho have repaired his former mortal armour and have turned it into regenerative plating that's a part of him.

-Lower Body:

• Boots of Travel - These firm, black leather combat boots are now enchanted with travel: they will carry Cho any distance he requires, help him leap tall distances and also strengthen his legs if he needs to kick something.

Weapons

• Reaper's Scythe/Tac - What once was a CheyTac Intervention M-200 variant sniper rifle is now a magic-powered and enhanced death machine. Formerly bolt action, the rifle is now semi automatic, and has an effective supersonic range of 2,200 yards or 2 kilometers. The rifle itself is born of the darkness and vengeful hate within Cho, and somewhere along the line the rifle itself was given a semblance of life. It is now a sentient being that lives off of the darkness within him. He equips it by attaching it to his right shoulder and forearm, gripping the pistol grip as he would normally. The living weapon latches onto him and draws upon his energy. The rifle fires Shredders; powerful parasites that act like regular bullets when fired, up until they impact a surface, at which point it opens its jaws and burrows, using its fired momentum to travel deep within and even through armour plating, walls and surfaces. The parasites then trigger an inner mechanism, transforming their streamlined bodies into sharp, thorny tumours that stay within their target, before expiring in a flash of heat and force akin to a small firecracker explosion.
• Liquid Shadow/Kris - What was a KRISS Vector submachine gun is now a blazing fast shadow shooter. Working like a very high powered paint gun, the Shadow fires bolts of liquid darkness that can mark and paint any surface, alongside regular bullets. It ties into his ability to submerge and travel through darkness and shadows, as he can travel in and through wherever he's shot his weapon at.
• Death's Mark/Hek - This used to be a Heckler & Koch P30L pistol. Now it's a marker. The pistol fires slugs of solid ink that can penetrate and splatter a target. This ink magically forms itself into a Mark of Death; a jagged cross bordered by a ring of thorns, and then hardens and crystallises, immobilising the affected area. Once a target has been marked, Cho can then fire at the mark to shatter it, causing immense damage or even outright ending his target in one blow.
• Culling Blade/Barr - His old Ka-bar knife, now a tool of morbid death. It still looks and functions as a knife, except its blade is now so sharp it can cut metal. Wounds caused by the blade will also never stop bleeding and cannot heal unless he allows it.

Abilities:

• Enhanced Speed
• Enhanced Agility
• Enhanced Reflexes
• Enhanced Accuracy

Magic

• Shadow Form - Cho is able to turn his entire body into darkness, becoming intangible as well as immune to physical damage. He is able to, in this form, merge with nearby cast shadows by immersing himself in them. In this way he is able to traverse large areas at night by way of "swimming" in the darkness.
• Crow Image - Cho is also able to take the form of a large, black crow. In this form he can fly anywhere he pleases, but nothing else. Transforming between human and crow takes a matter of seconds.
• Darkness Tendrils - Made of shadow, Cho is able to form several long tendrils made of darkness. These can emerge from anywhere in his body, but most commonly form from the scar on the left side of his torso, next to his heart. Cho is able to use these tendrils to manipulate objects, help him traverse terrain or even attack.
• Shadow Regeneration - Cho is made of the shadows, and as such simply being in the dark allows him to slowly regenerate any damage done to his person.

Brief History:
Cho hails from the Arena, in a reality that houses Earth, well, one of an infinite number of Earths anyway. Specifically, on this particular Earth, the existence of the supernatural and paranormal was a given, but these forces were not considered friendly, as all attempts to make contact with said forces were met with hostility, violence and death.

When he was young, he was always interested in the military, and after all the above experiences, you could say he is living the dream, his dream anyway. After all, his family was partly military too, at least on his father's side. His mother was a simple and humble cook in a small street corner eatery near home that served home grown and home cooked foods for the locals, neighbours, visitors and what have you. However, he lost his whole family when the cruise ship they were on capsized due to a freak paranormal waterspout caused by a kaiju. Since then he has carried a deep-seated grudge against anything paranormal or supernatural, his hatred fueling his quest for vengeance. He joined the organisation ParaCom to help fulfil this quest.

Within ParaCom he excelled at hunting and destroying anything paranormal, and he made fast friends with the squad he was assigned to. Within a few years his squad had become one of the best at their job, and for good reason.

On a mission to a Canadian forest, he and his squad were ambushed by a Viking warrior. The lone warrior turned out to be more than a match for the whole squad, however, and they were subsequently slaughtered to the last man. Cho was the very last casualty, the Viking having saved him for last.

Just before he died, the Viking packed his wounds with a magical ash, claiming that the sniper was a worthy warrior but not meant to die just yet. This ash imbued his body with a strong power, added together with his own innate magic, made the corpse that used to be living a very powerful artifact. Thus was how he was chosen by the Darkness to be a Reaper.

He was raised from the dead by the interdimensional dark, his blood replaced by darkness, his heart powered by his vengeance and hate. His weapons were given a rework to better suit his new form by demons inhabiting them. When he awoke, he recalled little of his past grievances, but gained new ones in his confusion to understand his new form.

Now Cho wanders the multiverse, a shadowy mercenary that uses his powers to quell whatever evils lays in any land. His ability to traverse the worlds through the very shadows themselves is a unique talent, one that has earned him much respect.

Recently his travels have led him back to this plane of reality and to the city of the Guild. There, upon instruction from his boss, the Darkness, he united with the other three members of his team and set out to purge the lands of its darkness and strife. However, due to recent events within the City, he has been separated from his comrades, and is on a mission to find them and help the residents deal with the persistent problem of the viral infections, fog and other everpresent dangers.
