Name: Shax Artorial.
Age: Unknown. She never bothered remembering over the centuries.
Race: Infernus Demon. (Powerful, red-skinned Demons that are very much like the ones we know in stories. Vicious warriors with great strength, durability and brutality, not to mention naturals with manipulating dangerous hellfire. The full bio describes more.)
Abilities: Aside from the obvious things described in her appearance Shax has abilities that render her a truly fearsome combatant. She has strength greater than most non-humans, able to wield her blade and wear her heavy armour while only being slowed to the standards of a human, and is incredibly durable with nigh-on unlimited stamina. Her healing factor is decent, far quicker than a human's, but it will still take time for her to heal serious wounds. But Shax's most devastating power lies in her natural affinity for hellfire, the name for the flames Infernus Demons manipulate to their whims, fire that burns with more intensity, more hunger, than mundane flames. She can conjure it and manipulate it greatly, laying waste to anything she turns her chaotic mind to, whether it is alive or not.
Weapon of choice: While Shax has natural weapons such as her claws, teeth, horns and tail, not to mention her strength and hellfire, she also carries a far more conventional weapon. A massive, six foot long sword that barely even classifies as 'sword'. It's truly immense, not just in its length, but also in the width of the blade. The blade itself is at least a full foot across, one side still sharp while the other is blunt, at least an inch thick. The terrifying part about this is that Shax can still cleave through practically anything even with the blunt edge of the sword, which goes to show her strength, and the weapon's weight, is monstrous. The weapon itself is crimson, forged by hellfire smiths specially for her, and seems to shiver whenever it is coated in blood. There are no fancy decorations, it's just this, but it is a sight to behold.
Personality: To be revealed through roleplay.
Appearance: Shax is not a being you'd want to stumble across in a dark forest. For a start she is incredibly tall, standing at 7'1" in total with powerful, muscular limbs that look as though she could crush you effortlessly. Her torso is similarly muscular, yet at the same time her waist is visibly slender, granting her a surprisingly nice figure along with a decent bust and a damn fine rear. She isn't disproportionate to her size at all, it all fits her almost perfectly. Of course, her size isn't the most noticeable thing about her. There is a lot about Shax that could take that title, the first of which being that she has red skin. Dark red and a little bit shiny, smooth to the touch but not as soft as it may seem, actually being around as tough as leather. She is marred by various scars scattered about her body, ranging from small, barely noticeable nicks to longer, much nastier slices. Her face is mostly untouched, interestingly. Only blemished by a couple of nicks and a small, straight cut above her right eye.
Speaking of her face, Shax is both scary and strangely attractive to gaze upon. Her facial structure is good, boasting features of an attractive human girl. Then come her teeth, white and healthy enough, but they're definitely not human looking. Shax's teeth are comparable to a shark's, sharp and pointed in a way that tells you that she could tear chunks out of your body without issue, and probably most other things too. Her tongue is odd as well, being bright red and far longer than human tongues, not to mention it's more slender. Moving up to her eyes they're... Well, her sclera is black for a start. Then her irises are a bright, burning orange that look like flickering flames while her pupils are a bright, piercing red.
Shax's hair is black, coal black, and cut short enough to not even reach her shoulders. It's actually pretty nice, being naturally wispy and rather soft to touch, left alone so it takes whatever style the wind makes it. Currently the 'style' is very similar to bed-hair, messy and unkempt, and her fringe stops just above her eyes. Most eyes don't get drawn to her hair, though, as two bony horns protrude from her head. They're fairly short, maybe seven inches long from base to point, and curve backwards slightly about half-way up them. They protrude from above and to the side of her forehead, one each side, and are a kind of smoky grey kind of colour with hints of black strewn about. Shax also has vicious claws protruding from the tips of her fingers, a good few inches long and stronger than they look.
Next up, Shax has a tail. It's four foot long and wickedly sharp, the entire length of it being serrated to the point where it could probably take off a man's arm if she lashed out with it hard enough. It's red, like her skin, and quite slender and prehensile, allowing her to control it with surprising dexterity. It ends in a fork, three points in a pitchfork kind of shape.
Now, let talk armour. Shax is a monstrous Demon, certainly, but armour is a good thing to have, so she has it. Covering much of her body is a set of black full plate, jagged and sharp all over the place to make even brushing against her a painful experience for any unarmoured foe. It's not all that restrictive, giving her plenty of room to move about and swing her weapon, but it, along with her sword, do slow her down compared to if she was unarmoured and using her claws. As such, she has been known to shed her armour and blade if the fight calls for it.
Short bio: Shax is known as an Infernus Demon, some of the most destructive and dangerous Demons from her realm, a place known as Hal'th. She was born like many others, struggling to survive the moment she left her mother's womb, but where countless others perished before reaching double age figures Shax lived on. Her mother raised her alone, as it goes for almost all Demon spawnlings, and through her Shax learned the way of the hellish world she was born into.
And she looked upon it with a grin.
Always a fighter, even while barely old enough to walk, Shax grew into a powerful force to be reckoned with. Her mother left her when she believed her spawn capable of thriving alone, and so the young Infernus took to the land and traversed for many a year. She fought tooth and claw for survival, reveling in the bloodshed she caused when opposed by other Demons, taking her time to find herself and let her ambition swell. Eventually she came to one of the few Demon Kingdoms in Hal'th, and when set upon by soldiers she tore them apart, cementing herself a place serving under the Demon Lord of the kingdom as a Knight.
With her fellow warriors, bound together by the strength of their leader, Shax was taught more conventional combat. Until now she had relied on her strength, claws and flames to see her through, but with them she was taught swordplay. She took to it like she first took to her own sharp instruments, her penchant for destruction and bloodshed driving her to surpass everyone who stood before her, and as she fought under the banner of her leader Shax came to realize her own ambitions. She came to realize that she wanted, no, NEEDED to sate her thirst for raising hell. Shax needed to surpass everyone, destroy them, burn them... She needed to rain desolation upon everything! With that in mind, she challenged her fellow warriors... And then her own lord.
She won.
From there Shax became a deadly legend in Hal'th. She traveled alone, challenging and cutting down all those she faced, her strength only growing as the years drew by and her thirst for chaos swelled. Then, one day, she came across that which nearly all Demons lusted for. Shax discovered a portal to another realm. Knowing she would likely never be able to return Shax entered the portal with a grin, and finally emerged on Earth where her hell-raising began anew. Destructive, devastating, Shax sought good fights, challenges, and the pleasure of bringing chaos down on everything around her. It was only a few short years of her traversing the countryside, somehow missing the larger cities, before the Humans attacked. While she was more than happy to meet the challenge, to fight until either she died or the last foe before her lay slain, Shax was 'saved' by another non-human. She was pushed through another portal, but this one did not take her to another realm, it brought her to the Island of Ruins.
