I have returned to participate in Chapter II! With that, I've decided to bring back a (much needed) update to Gideon - for his old profile was an utter travesty that doesn't hold up to my current writing abilities. I'll also be introducing two new characters and updated one old character at a later date.

His body is rather chiseled, sporting definite muscles on his arms and legs, which is covered a black coat with red under-hues along with long black pants and armored boots. Chains also ensnare the entire outfit, making it look as if he just came out of a dungeon. In battle, Gideon can summon levitating chains that glow red when active and encircles the user at blinding speeds. To the naked eye, it would look as if a red-light was simply circling him. [color=9e0b0f][b][u]Faction:[/u][/b][/color] Hell - Mundas [color=9e0b0f][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b][/color] Gideon is often seen as an emotionless lone wolf, who'd rather be left alone then to engage in petty conversations. He's usually rather cold and aloof when he does talk to others, often attempting to brush them away while trying to be left alone, unless they are communicating in battle or if he's forced to do so. While there are moments when one can successfully talk to him, those little moments are rare. In battle, he is an aggressive fighter who lets his sadistic side take over and show no mercy on his enemies while calculating his surroundings all at the same time. He's been known to be rather unpredictable to most opponents and is always striving for the next battle. Gideon is known for often going for the strongest opponent on the battlefield to test his strength and resolve. However, he is no fool. If he's on the loosing end of the battle, he won't hesitate to retreat and back off just to fight another day. He usually has great respect for his opponents who match his skill or beat him in combat, unless he finds them utterly repulsing to bare with. He also has great vengeance towards Heaven for robbing him of his father and this strives him to get stronger to avenge his father's death at their hands. [color=9e0b0f][b][u]Bio:[/u][/b][/color] Geno Emmerich was born in Venice, Italy during the end of the Renaissance era to a middle-class family. Although not much is known of him during his early years, all that's really known is that he was born to a human mother and a demon father, the latter having retained a human form for several centuries after being exiled for unknown reasons. The father never said much to any of the children he helped raised, for he never felt like wanting to become personally attached to them and wanted to keep his true identity a secret. To him, emotion is a weakness, and he believed that this tampered with his potential strength, both physically and mentally. He never got too close with his wives either, leaving them all before they'd recognized what happened. The father leaves when he feels that his children were ready to go about their lives on their own. It's not sure how many children the demon father helped born into existence, but it's been rumored to be near a hundred or so. However, these feelings came into question when the father was raising Geno. He began to realize that this son of his was different. His aura had an excessive amount of demonic energy pent up inside him. All the previous children he bore had little to no demonic aura at all, let alone any affinity for magic. Yet Geno had plenty of it within him. He believed that he could surpass him in raw power and become an ultimate demonic warrior. So for the first time in his life, he made an effort to raise a child of his. He revealed to Geno about his origins, who he was, and began teaching him his ways. Most of what he taught revolved around "Ferrum Diaboli", or “Blade of the Devil”, which is a style that primarily focuses on wielding and manipulating blade weaponry. Geno began catching on to his demonic heritage quickly and soon became a powerful warrior in his own right. However, this soon brought to the attention of Heaven, who finally noticed of Geno and his father's existence. They began to ruthlessly track down the two demons, sending in wave after wave of Angelic warriors to eliminate the heresy that was before them. Every wave they sent were defeated by the two demons, but it was clear that father and son had to depart from one another to ensure their survival. But before they could depart, two inquistor brothers named Mallus and Ferrus appeared and engaged the two in a grueling battle. Geno fought against the fiery Ferrus while his father struggled against the ruthless Mallus. In the end, Mallus and Geno's Father fell down a cliff, while Geno himself was able to hold off Ferrus and escape, swearing vengeance that he'd one day kill them both for robbing him of his father. Mallus would walk out seemingly victorious for 'killing' the father. Taking a new name as "Gideon Al Ghul", Geno would find himself accepted into Mundas' forces in Hell and never mentioned his father to anyone. He began to catch onto his father's ideology regarding emotions being a weakness, although he can never completely rid himself of the vengeance he has to avenge his father. He strives to become the most powerful demon in Hell and often searches for strong opponents just to test his power and skills. One day, he might avenge his father, but until then he must simply get stronger in order to get closer to his agenda.
