“Aja! I knew that they were hiding the fact that this is in fact hell!”
Charles watched the arrival of the new souls from afar using a telescope he managed to win at a raffle. Normally he would have tried to infiltrate the arriving souls and try to show them the lies of the Demons, thought this often ends in one of the sins kicking him out. The main reason he didn't infiltrate the arriving souls today is because his alarm clock didn't wake him up on time, because it had burned to ashes, like the rest of his house. Who knew that being burned alive could be so inconvenient once that he was dead.
Still he still had time to reach the entry road and try to “open the eyes" of these young souls and with Wrath leaving he had less chance of being thrown into the lava pit again. Running (and tripping) till he reached the entry road Charles sneaked into the crowd of souls as best as a flaming skull man could and raised his hand to ask a question. Not bothering to wait until Sloth noticed his raised hand, Charles began asking his question.
”Mr. Belphegor or more accurately Mr. Sloth, if this is not supposed to be the hell we were told about and it instead is some sort of underworld, why did you write hell first in the now burned sign? Did your subconscious unintentionally betrayed the secret truth of the sins and demon society?”If Charles had a face it would have a mix of a smug and inquisitive expression.

Sorry for taking too long to add a backstory, had a bit of a writers block. Anyway here is the updated CS
Name: Jin Kisaragi Age: 23 Gender: Male Race: Human Personality: Jin is a kind hearted and soft person, initially struggling to fight as he didn't want to hurt someone, even if not doing it could kill him. Over time he grows the resolve to fight Knightmares that want to harm innocents while warning or even protecting those who haven't done anything. Jin adopts a serious persona when dealing with threats to the public, observing any movement his enemies do before rushing in and attacking. Even so, he is not a pragmatic fighter and prefers to fight with as little dirty tricks as possible.
Plot Summary of Original content: Action, Drama, Mystery, Supernatural. Armored Rider Alpha: The animated spinoff of the iconic Masked Hunter live action series. After an armored hero took a fatal blow from supernatural beings called Knightmares to save him, Jin Jin finds himself as the new owner of the alpha hunter system, the only thing capable of putting down those monsters for good. Jin must now deal with the Knightmares on his town and investigate the origin of the alpha system and his previous owner.
Masked Hunter Alpha S2: Action, Drama, Supernatural After the destruction of the Alpha system, humanity finds itself defenseless against the Knightmares, who are uniting under the banner of a creature declaring himself the “Nightmare Emperor.” Jin and the Hypnos Organization must find an alternative to the Alpha system before the growing menace of the Knightmares attack.
Backstory:
Jin initially worked as a police officer investigating a mysterious armored guy that had been reported to appear in diverse parts of the city, with the ones who made the report claiming that he had saved them from a monster. After a day of trying to connect the pieces of the puzzle unsuccessfully, Jin decided to go home.
On the way home, a man jumps in the middle of the road, with Jin barely managing to pull the brakes in time. He explained to Jin that he was escaping from a person in a white armor that wanted to kill him, while initially skeptical Jin decided to investigate, asking the man to where did he see the armored guy and heading that way with the man following behind him.
The man pointed to the forest the town had, and as they went deeper into the woods, Jin began to think that the man had just imagined things. Suddenly someone hidden between the bushes ordered both of them to stop and for Jin to move away from the man if he wanted to live. Not wanting to risk the life of the man Jin told him to stay there as he moved to the direction where he heard the voice, ordering the man to reveal himself.
Due to a lack of response from the man, Jin expected him to attack at any moment, but instead, he found a bloody and injured man, even more so than the man who was running from him. He wouldn't get many answers out of him as he stepped in front of Jin and was pierced in the stomach by a monster.
The monster thanked Jin for helping him in killing the white hunter and ran away into the night, his laughter echoing in the forest. The dying man pleaded in his dying breath for Jin to continue his task of protecting humanity and gave him his belt. Still in shock over the events that happened Jin took the belt and called the paramedics claiming that he had heard him on his way home.
After his identity is revealed as Miyuki Tezuka, Jin decides to do some snooping and investigate his house in search for clues of why did that monster kill Tezuka. It seemed that he wasn't the only one to get the same idea as he meets the very same man who killed Tezuka at his doorstep. The man instantly transformed into a monster as Jin ran back to his car, looking for the belt the man gave him.
The belt was beeping loudly and saying “KNIGHTMARE THREAT PRESENT, TRANSFORMATION READY” in a robotic voice. Without thinking twice, Jin put on the belt hoping that it would do something against the monster. In a flash of light, a white armor manifested on him, and the monster was taken aback for a moment, stopping in his tracks before continuing to charge to Jin's position.
Jin first tried to use diplomacy against the monster, while guarding against his attacks, but the creature just returned the attempts at diplomacy with “Die!”. Realizing that he had to fight to survive, Jin reluctantly began to fight back eventually overpowering his attacker and with all his strength pierced his arm through the monster chest, with its body dissipating into ashes.
Removing his belt and undoing his transformation he searched the house in search of answers. Apart from finding a sword and a knuckle that seemed to go along with the armor, Jin had no luck finding something. Or at least that was he thought of until he found some papers from an organization called “Hypnos” detailing the current known information about Knightmares, which must be the monster he fought earlier.
The creatures called Knightmares supposedly are the manifestation of mankind fears and were given physical forms by four powerful alchemists centuries ago. If ancient records are to be believed the ritual created 108 Knightmares who instead of being subservient as they would believe were murderous and with a burning hatred of humans.
The four alchemists would create weapons to fight them and once they proved unable to destroy them, seal them. Their descendants would continue their work and prepare a weapon capable of destroying them in case they were released from their prison.
A recent earthquake in the region was the straw that broke the camel's back on the seal and released them on a small town. These monsters must be taken as soon as possible as they have the ability to grow stronger when absorbing negative emotions such as fear. Unlike the weapons of old, the Alpha system is designed in a way that the monsters die for good once they are killed.
Knowing the man these papers were sent to was dead, Jin knew he would have to take care of the Knightmare problem until he was able to contact the Hypnos organization. As he tried to find leads on the whereabouts on the organization, Jin meet many Knightmares, the majority of them hostile and unaware that others of his kind had been released. Others only wanted to live a normal human life or had found another Knightmare leading to a two vs. one fight.
He would finally get in contact with the organization after he unknowingly saved a high ranking member from a Knightmare. With the support of the Hypnos organization, it became easier to locate and destroy Knightmares. Things seemed to be going to an end as Knightmares attacks started becoming less frequent.
What both Jin and the organization didn't expect was that a Knightmare would be able to find their location. The surprise attack destroyed most of their research into Knightmares and left the alpha system as nothing more than scrap metal. The perpetrators didn't leave before announcing that the emperor sent his regards.
With no time to build another system, the Hypnos organization began the search for their previous prototypes. Searching their old base, Jin and Hypnos found that the base was also ransacked with only one of the ten demon infusers still functional. These demon infusers could destroy Knightmares as the alpha system, but they weakened the body and could only be used for a short time limit.
Despite the growing blindness in his left eye and the loss of strength in his left arm, Jin continued to use them as he fought the last Knightmares, with the Hypnos organization managing to repair the alpha system just in time to the battle against the Knightmare Emperor. The fight was a close one with the emperor initially dominating the fight, but once the alpha system entered its overclock mode the fight began to side in Jin's favor, with him striking the Emperor in the head with the Alpha knuckle to finish him before passing out.
Once he woke up in the hospital, Jin received the news that he had managed to kill the emperor as only him and ashes were present when they came to rescue him. Happily smiling that his task as a hunter was finally over the series ends its second season.
Weapons, Powers & Abilities:
Alpha System: The iconic armor of the show, and like most of the other armors in the Armored Hunter series the armor is accessed through a special belt. The armor grants its user enhanced durability and speed, making them capable of battling against low-level Knightmares with ease, but struggles against more powerful ones. To mitigate this problem, the alpha system comes with two weapons:
The Excalibur a sword-gun capable of cutting through rock with ease and shooting bullets of the same caliber as your standard pistol.
Alpha Knuckle a brass knuckle that can release a blast of energy with the strength of a grenade, this energy takes a while to recharge once released and as such the brass knuckle is mostly used as a finisher or a desperate attack.
ALPHA OVERCLOCK:A feature added into the reconstructed Alpha system with the intention of pushing the system limits to the max, to go toe to toe with the Nightmare Emperor. Where previously the user had as much strength and speed as an Olympic athlete, now he can punch holes in concrete and is as fast as your standard car. The overclock function last three minutes before the system shuts off.
Demonic Infuser: A device used in the past to fight the first Knightmare incursions, instead of relying on technology to overpower and destroy Knightmares this method uses a mixture of alchemy and magic to capture and seal the power of a Knightmare giving its user some of their powers. Since fusing Knightmare and Human is not a natural process the body rejects the fusion process after five minutes with excessive use mutating and weakening the body. In Jin´s case, excessive use has caused him to lose most of his vision in his left eye, which also has a changed color from hazel to a mixture of different colors and loss of strength and mobility in his left hand.
The Demonic infuser is shaped like a bat since much how a vampire spreads its curse when it bites its victim; the infuser needs to “bite” the user to inject the Knightmare essence in its bloodstream. After that, it is placed on its pedestal (which is nothing more than a fancy belt) as the transformation begins.
The demonic infuser Jin found had two Knightmare powers in it, Yeti and Goliath:
The Yeti form grants him two big claws that have the same sharpness of the Excalibur with the additional ability to freeze everything it touches, easily turning water into ice, with larger bodies and things made up of salt taking up more time to freeze.
Goliath: Jin´s biggest form since its height becomes 2.5m with its weapon the Longinus lance being 3m tall. As Goliath, his defenses raise to the point where he can shrug off most gunfire without much trouble and gains the strength to lift and throw cars. It is not without drawbacks since his speed and agility are reduced by an incredible amount and even if his armor is resistant Goliath has a very visible armorless spot in his back, a spot that faster and agiler enemies can strike if they notice it.

Author/Real Name: Masahiro Kadoya Age: 38 Gender: Male
Personality: At first sight Nicholas may appear as a serious and responsible individual, but upon further inspection one realizes that he doesn't have much expression on his face since he has the habit of zoning out and has a very short attention span, causing him to constantly misheard or only partially hear sentences. This doesn't mesh exactly well with his policy of helping people when they need it and has caused more trouble out of simple situations many times.
Background: As soon as Nicholas turned 18 he joined the police force of his little town in the middle of nowhere, mostly because his father also worked as a police officer, he could help people and it was the most interesting job relative to the town. Nicholas spent his days patrolling across the city, doing paperwork at the station and bringing down the occasional cat from the tree. It was not the action packed job the TV showed and that bored Nicholas to no end "At least I am getting paid for not doing much" he thought to himself.
One day as he finished paperwork on the dead man shift at the station he noticed a spider descending from the ceiling into his face. Nicholas quickly swatted it away, though he seemed to hear a tiny scream as the spider fell off. Not much time passed before he heard a tiny voice coming from the floor. While trying to investigate the source of the voice he inadvertently crushed it with his foot, leading to the voice becoming quiet and Nicholas thinking that his lack of sleep was starting to affect him.
Deciding to go get some coffee Nicholas went to the break room. When he opened the door he found instead of the normal room something more akin to a spider nest. Rubbing his eyes to check he wasn't dreaming he reached his hand to touch one of the webs to see if he was imagining it, it was not like he had anything better to do. Extending his arm he tried to reach one of the webs, losing his balance and falling into the nest.
Struggling to break free, Nicholas stopped when he saw the maker of the nest. The giant spider before him somehow looked intimidating and annoyed at the same time. The spider used one of his legs to grab some sort of staff and showed it to Nicholas. Giving an exasperated sigh the spider began to speak.
“I finally got your attention you little deaf monkey, now I was generous enough to grant your wish to take you out of bumfuck, nowhere to an interesting place. Now in exchange you will find the rest of my body with the help of this staff and become my vessel….. Are you even listening?”
“Eh? Of course….it was something about….adventure and…ummm...monkeys ? ” Said Nicholas who instead of paying attention to what the spider was saying, wondered about the possible eating habits of a giant spider.
”Let's go with that” The spider said as he cut the webs holding Nicholas with the staff, making him fall off to a seemingly endless bottom. After opfalling for some time Nicholas fell face first to the ground, with the staff hitting him in the head not long after.
Skills: As part of his training as a police officer Nicholas has some degree at using guns. Which doesn't serve him much when his relic is a meele weapon.
Relic: Staff of the Spider King: Made from the claws, fangs, and bones of the ancient creature known as the Spider King. Through magic and perhaps the spirit of the creature itself, when the staff manages to cut skin it releases the same type of venom the Spider King possessed, one that is not lethal but instead paralyzes the enemy and fills them with a sensation of hopelessness. There exist rumors about the relic being just part of the original relic, with its other half hidden when the first user became possessed by the creature the relic was made or the many tales about the users of the staff hearing a voice that is not theirs or dreaming they are trapped in a web. Since no evidence of another part of the relic has been found the story remains a myth, mostly associated to new and idealistic adventurers. Finally, the staff can make itself smaller to make it easier to carry.
