[hider]
Name: Astiroth
Age: ???
Gender: Male
Race: Demon, more specifically, a Corporis demon. They are a subrace of demon whose demonic power soley manifests in physical abilities. This leads these demons to be extremely powerful in physical ability andattributes but leaves them lacking in variability of attacks and skills.
Personality: Astiroth only ever cared for one individual who was killed by the 'hero', now he cares for nothing. Whether it be the lives of men, women, or children, he does not  care and will slaughter them all without a thought. He only has hatred for one individual, the 'hero'.
Allignment: Technically evil but he does not care for who he works for or with
Class: Samurai/Monk
Equipment: Astiroth wields two swords, one sword that is a abyss katana, a sword born from the very abyss demons are spawned from. Only demons who were royal guard were allowed to carry such weapons. They have the uncanny ability to negate magic if it were to try to block magic attacks. The other sword is named praenuntius. This sword was previously wielded by the demon lord who was slain. Moments before the Demon Lords death,as Astiroth watched the one he sworn to protect die,he was given the sword in hopes that one day it would pierce the heart of the hero. This weapon is nothing more than a handle. However, when it is wielded, it takes the shape of a weapon that suits the wielder. It has a very powerful demonic aura but sealed away to prevent the knowledge of its existence. Astiroth is currently trying to find out how to undo the seal but do to his lack of manifested power, he fears he will never wield it. He wears a necklace that allows him to take human form though this does not hide his demonic aura from holy figures  trained to sense it. Other than that, he wears armor fit for his role of being a royal guard of the demon lord who is now dead. While he armor is strong and sturdy, its joints are key weak spots that lack plating and would make a key target in an attack. He also wears ring that limits his power and prevents him from having a rampage. If the ring were to be removed, he would slowly gain back his power though it would  take a week to return to full strength.

History:
Astrioth was born alongside another demon. As a Corporis demon, he lacked true demonic power unlike his siblings who were very powerful. This caused Astiroth to be out casted by his family. This was when the only person Astiroth would ever come to care about entered his life. Another youngling, the demon lord as a young demon approached him. Unphased by the nature of most demons, his new found friend would encourage him and guide him. Under his friend, Astiroth would seek to crave power among all else. His every being craved it and sought it as his body could not produce it properly. The young lord approached Astiroth with a plan, to take the throne. Astiroth agreed and soon the brothers began to fully plan their rise. Astiroth was to be the protector as his status would never allow him to take the throne.

 Over the years, Astiroth found himself to be a formidable warrior. With all his power manifesting in his physical abilities, he eventually became unrivaled in in his strength, speed, stamina, endurance and senses. His body would become the very pillar that would support the soon to be demon lord an he gladly massacred any demon that opposed him or his brother. After his friend had taken the throne, Astiroth was made the lead of the royal guard, extremely skilled and powerful demons that would be responsible in the protection of the demon lord. This made Astiroth train even more. As numerous demons would challenge he and his friend. Astiroth said his eyes on learning every martial art and sword style he could know of and this soon forged him into an unbreakable warrior. Utilizing his varied sword style and martial arts, he sought to become less predictable in combat. This made him an excellent combatant in the war to come.

 During the demon war, Astiroth hardly left his brothers side was eventually called to fight on the front lines. His name and blade became a legend to fear. With victory after victory against the mightiest of opponents. It became evident that his rampant fighting became a threat to even his other demons. A ring was placed on his hand to quell his power. Astiroth did not like this, but his childhood friend requested and thus it was done. It was this ring however that would cause the demise of his only friend. If it had not been for this ring, Astiroth may have had the power to save his friend, not win against the hero but save his lord and escape. Astiroth watched, to weak and beaten from his ferocious fight with the hero as he his lord fought for the fate of everything he and his childhood friend had sought after, but alas, it was futile. The demon lord was pierced and left to die as the hero took the throne. It was the only sign of weakness Astiroth had ever shown. He couldn't save his lord, his lack of manifestation in demonic abilities prevented this. A single tear fell as Astiroth was given his lords sword. Astiroth looked at the Hero who offered him to join him. Astiroth said no and fled. He has thus spent his life doing simple mercenary work and has hid his true self from the world as he can't bear to look upon his true form and seen the one who failed to save his lord. [/hider]
