The Demon. Age: 42 Gender: Male Race: Cambion Personality: Drake Cross is a rather bitter man now. In his youth, he was as upbeat as the next young hero, but he stuck with the business longer than most. Lost more than most. He sees being a hero as a burden, but if he doesn't take it up, someone else will. Someone younger. Someone with more to lose. That's why he does what he does. He puts in the effort. Risks his life so other people won't have to. When he isn't fighting crime, or saving the world, he has lately found himself at the bottom of the bottle more often than not. Looking to find some new meaning in life. History: The world Drake Cross was born into was one without formal law. A modern world, that was home to all sorts of magical creatures. The only reason the world hadn't destroyed itself was that certain individuals took it upon themselves to uphold what they thought the law should be. You see, in Drake's world, all formal government was abolished shortly after the dark ages. A series or revolutions destroyed the monarchy. The wrong people got voted in, and capitalism happened so democracy was cut out. We all know what happened to communism. It was a dark time, but eventually, it got better. People started to respect each other and treat each other better because there was nothing stopping revenge killings. Sure there were people who fought for a law to be established. Vigilantes who wanted a way for the weak to defend themselves. But without law, there was nothing they could do. The weak got weaker and the strong got stronger. Drake Cross was born to a human mother as she had traded sex for protection with a powerful demon. Drake was kept a secret, and his mother explained the situation of his birth, and why he must remain secret. So, at a young age, he decided to fight for the law. Equality. People shouldn't have to put out just to feel safe. He became known as the Street Samurai because he used a sword as his main weapon. Striking from the shadows at all those who he deemed evil. His name changed to the Nightingale as the rumours spread, and he started using more guns as well. He became the first of a new order. The Safeguards. A group of people whose sole purpose was to make the majority of people feel safe. By hunting down and killing the people who caused trouble. Serial killers and rapists were at the top of the list, but it soon became evident that another faction was becoming the Safeguards' most pronounced enemy. A faction known only as The Darkness. The Darkness was a gang of serial killers, rapists and thieves led by a demon. The demon was, in fact, Drake Cross's father. The war between the Safeguards and The Darkness was long. Many people on both sides perished. Drake Cross led the Safeguards for fifteen years before they found out his Father was head of The Darkness. It was controversial. There was a coup, and Drake was kicked out of the Organisation he founded. His wife left him, and he went from being a Saviour to a Villian. He didn't actually do anything wrong, it was just because of who his father was. He turned to alcohol on the nights he wasn't out taking his anger out on people who were doing crimes. One day, while sitting at a bar he saw a news broadcast that showed that the Safeguards had led a raid on a Darkness hideout, but it was a trap. The Safeguards suffered heavy losses. Even if they had thrown him out, they were still his friends. So, now after seven years, he finally decided to finish what he started. Do what he became a hero to do. Kill his father. He got back in his old suit, and with his sword in one hand, and a bottle of scotch in the other, he walked to confront his father. Embracing his demonic heritage more than he ever has, he stormed the Darkness compound and slaughtered them all. Fought his way through countless thugs. Until he found himself in the throne room. Standing opposite his father, he took a swig of the scotch and threw the half-full bottle at his father. The ensuing battle was long and hard fought. The Demon had more raw power, but Drake had skill, guns and nothing to lose. The fight ended with Drake impaled on his own sword, which was stabbed into a wall, trapping him, as his father gloated. It was at this moment that Drake pulled out a hand grenade and let it explode. The explosion killed both Drake and his father. Leaving his world to be saved by the rest of the Safeguards. Magical Powers Section: Name of Power: Demonic Blood Range of Power: Self (Passive) Description of Power Effects: Due to his demonic heritage, Drake cross is strong enough to lift small cars and bend metal, fast enough to move at/beyond the highway speed limit, and durable enough to withstand being thrown off tall buildings.

If hit hard enough, it can force Drake to revert back. Additionally, it takes its toll on Drake when he reverts back, often leaving him physically exhausted. Name of Power: Lore of the Fundament Range of Power: Self Description of Power Effects: The Lore of The Fundament is the ability a demon has to control how the world interacts with them. It manifests as a Demon/Cambion being able to move at superhuman speeds, walk on walls and ceilings, or jump really dar or high. Weaknesses of Spell: The abilities are strictly self-based, and do not extend past the self. In this way, momentum doesn't work the same as normal speed. Attacks from high speed only hit as hard as if it were travelling at normal speed. Special Talents: First and foremost, Drake's skills are as a gunslinger and swordsman. Weapons: Drake's main weapon is a Japanese Odachi. He also carries around two high calibre automatic pistols. Armour/Clothing: He wears kevlar plated armour underneath a parge coat. [/hider]
