Name: Solace "Ace" Calibur, the Blackbone
Age: 16 (?)
Race: Demon (Originally Human)
Powers:
- Blackbone - Grants strength and endurance many times that of a man's, when used the portion(s) of the body the ability is applied to molts into black bones. Especially resistant to extreme heat and fire-based attacks.
- Flames of Erebus - Erebus's essence is manifested as purple flames; hot enough to melt steel easily, able to be applied to Ace's sword.
- Hell Zone - The ability to teleport by materialising his demonic energies to 'blinking' him away to another location, able to take a limited number of people along as well, limited by range of vision.
- Wither Shot - Gathering his demonic magic at the tip of an arrow, once released the arrow explodes with frightening power. Rather than an outright incendiary explosion, the condensed demonic energy expands outwards in all directions decaying objects to ashes, as if they withered, with so much force it produces a shockwave. Out of all Ace's powers; the most draining.
- Night Vision - Vision is completely unhindered in the darkness.
Appearance: Pale skin with lean but muscular physique. Unnatural emerald green eyes that sometimes glow. Unruly black hair that nearly reaching his shoulder. Faint scars lining his fingers and hands. 6'1 foot and 190 pounds but with his usual lazy posture looks shorter than he is. His usual attire; black leather chestplate, underneath that a black fur-lined sleeveless hoodie, black leather shoulder guard extending down to the hand on his right arm, on both hands a pair of finger-less metal padded gloves, also of black leather, dark grey pants with a black belt, metal-plated black boots. Strapped to his back are a bow and a quiver, the longbow being black with a dark-red handle. And attach to his left hip is a leaf-bladed bastard sword in its hilt.
- Midnight Scorch - Leaf-bladed bastard sword, made of Underworld-forged steel. Red steel stylised with black flames around the tip, the flames being Erebus's blood scorched onto the steel forever.
- Hellion - Long bow that was made from the trees of the Underworld, fire-resistant. 120 pounds of force needed to pull back. The arrows themselves being completely forged from steel.
Strengths: Highly skilled in swordsmanship and archery. Basic hand-to-hand combat skills. Survivalist; able to live off nature. A tactical mind in the midst of a battle. Resistant to demonic magic. Performs at his maximum potential in the shadows. Quick reaction rate. His will to strive towards to his goals is overwhelming.
Extremely loyal to those he deem as friends.
Weaknesses: Socially inept; positive relationships takes time to form. Often may fall to bloodlust in battle, posing harm to both friends and enemies. Overuse of powers will drain him fast, takes long to recover said stamina. His mercilessness in battle makes others wary of him.
Personality: A lone wolf, Ace serves no cause but his own. While he may have a soft spot for children and go out of his way to protect those who can't fend for themselves, the Blackbone is a killer; any amount of bloodshed for the right price. He is mostly solemn just as the calm before the storm though in the midst battle devolves into a killing machine with no remorse. However for his friends he will fight to his dying breath for their sake, help the poor soul who dares to harm Ace's group of few people he holds previous. However with the essence of Erebus flowing through him his already extensive bloodthirstiness is worsened with the ever faint presence of the demon lord prompting ideas and suggestions within his mind
History: Solace "Ace" Calibur was born into a life of crime. His family known as the infamous Sons of the Sun, one of the world's biggest international crime organisation. Growing up on the streets, Ace forgo to call himself 'Solace' as he was anything but that, to survive day to day from anything from gang fights to police raids Ace had grow up faster than any child should.
With many other competitors aiming to take the Sons' place as top dog, the life of crime eventually got Ace killed alongside his family, shot down in a firefight by multiple different gangs banded together. As he passed into the afterlife the former gangster arrived at the Underworld, an otherworldly realm where the darkest of demons linger. The presence and overbearing aura of hellfire, demons and nightmares come real made Ace's conscious devolve; trading an unrelenting determination to come out on top, for a total loss of compassion and warmth. He attracted the attention of a low fledgling demon, unworthy of even a name, who offered to train him to the best of its ability and chance of gaining a second life in exchange for offing a notoriously powerful demon lord by the name of Erebus, jealous of his prestigious position as one of Satan's inner circle of demons. The lowly demon spoke of others before him have slain powerful demons and how the magical backlash in doing so propelled them back to their human world.
After mastering the way of the blade and arrow under the unnamed demon's tutelage and observing other demons fight amongst themselves, even testing himself against hordes of the unholy creatures. Ace went on to fulfil his portion of the deal. Fighting for a whole day the 16 year old managed to defeat the ageless Lord of Darkness with a well-aimed arrow, with his dying breath the demon lord gave his own slayer the title of 'the Blackbone'. Absorbing Erebus's essence Ace had barely escaped the fate forever wandering the Underworld as a lost soul, being subject to any demon's tormenting nature.
The hellish realm shook with the powerful demon's death, the magical energies released propelling Ace back to Earth, whilst changing him into the very things he slew; a demon. With his newfound powers granted from his sudden status as a Demon combined with Erebus's essence inside of himself, Ace has returned to Earth as a mercenary for hire, eager for battle and the bloodshed that follows.
