Nathan frowned at his assailant they were as crazy as Anny it seemed, killing for fun still wasn't something Nathan could understand. "Ok first of I'm only half-demon, secondly I-" Nathan was cut off by the sound of David blasting three bullets into his neck. The burst of bullets completely severed Nathan's head off, and his now limp body fell onto the ground. His body lay motionless for a few moments before convulsing and springing back to life. Smoke started to pour from the neck wound as the headless body clambered back onto two feet, then a massive puff of flames burst from the neck and a new head had grown back.
"Gah fucking goddammit! Do you have any idea how much that fucking hurts! Stupid fucking monkey! Jesus Christ!" Nathan rubbed his neck with one hand and conjured a fireball in the other. Nathan threw the fireball behind himself killing a couple of surviving shadows. "As much as I want to kill you, these shadow fuckers are kind of killing everyone in the city and that's not good for business. So I'll give you this oppotunitiy to piss off. Because honestly, I don't have time to deal with you and all this other bullshit." Nathan stopped rubbing his neck so he could summon another fireball, getting ready to blast the next wave of shadows.
Nathan continued cutting down more shadow creatures until a voice caught his attention. He turned to see some dude standing there complaining about having his kill stolen. Though the man's mouth wasn't moving, a ventriloquist perhaps? In the end, it didn't matter because the dude was running at him with a bloody bayonet.
"What do you think this is? Fuckin league of legends or something?"
Nathan said raising a clawed hand to intercept the bayonet, hopefully being able to catch the blade before it poked into his chest.
"Honestly we've got the whole city being murder by shadow things and you're gunna try and stab me for killing a shadow first? Man people call me a prick."
"It is such a nice day out today." Nathan said to himself, his back against a tree.
Yeah... Nice...
"C'mon you gotta take a break from violence every now and then."
I mean you're probably right, but there have to be more exciting things to do than just laying about in some park.
"Hey now this is Central Park, not many parks are big enough to have a bloody zoo in em. Also, you can entertain yourself. Now shush."
...
Nathan smirked and closed his eyes, absorbing the peaceful atmosphere. Though he didn't get to rest for long as he heard some screams in the distance. Groaning he leaned up and was a little shocked by what he saw. The green grass stained red with blood, and shadows standing over the corpses of the recently slain.
"What the fuck." Nathan said as he shot to his feet, there was some serious voodoo nonsense going on here. Letting out a sigh Nathan rolled his shoulders and got ready for a fight. Looked like Anny was going to get some violence in the end anyway. "Alright you pricks, come and get some!" Nathan had already garnered the attention of a pack of shadows, he sighed as his hands transformed, his fingernails extending out and sharpening into vicious claws.
Stepping out from under the tree Nathan jutted a hand forward and instantly perforated one of the charging shadows through the chest, it's body evaporated shortly after. "Huh not the toughest things are ya?" Nathan shrugged and cleaved the head off of another shadow. "That just makes my job easier." Nathan continued to cut down shadows, their frailty making it rather easy to dispatch them. Honestly, it might've been therapeutic if it weren't for the hundreds of dead bodies lying around. "Yo Anny you know anyone who's capable of doing something like this?" Not off the top of my head no. Give me a bit, I'll give some of the guys a ring. See if any of them managed to get their asses summoned and are throwing a party.
Arson watched as the tank screeched to a halt, smirking underneath her helmet. She saw Nazi's coming out of immobilized tank and was getting ready to blast them with fire when she heard Manifold kick the hood. Arson glanced back at Manifold and saw the spiked object in the air, Arson smiled under her helmet. The Nazi's started to unload on Arson so she decided to jump into the air to both avoid some shots and catch the spiked ball midair.
Arson crouched for a moment before shooting into the air, a few blood trails followed her up as she'd taken a good few bullets. While she was in the air Arson noticed that the second tank was looking in her direction, having stopped because of some sort of shard trail. Arson then caught the gizmo Manifold had whipped up and hurled it at the derailed tank, the others could deal with the second tank for now.
Ana would then land a good distance away from the (now most likely destroyed) tank, sticking a sweet ass superhero landing. "Thanks for the assist, Manny!" Arson said before spotting Jackalope, Arson just assumed that he was the one responsible for the path that halted the second tank. She'd ask about that guy later.
Sheol
Transcendent wasn't letting up, his movements were so quick Sheol was having trouble getting out of the way in time. At this rate, she was going to get caught, or she'd have to engage Transcendent. Sheol's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden roar, Sheol flinched as the massive beast smashed aside one of the jeeps sending the vehicle rolling. After that chaos ensued. A massive ice golem, a blur and... Rend. Rend herself had come out to capture Edith. Sheol quickly refocused on Transcendent who was already charging towards her, but before she could do anything a massive tail swooped over her head and sent the breaker flying down the street.
Sheol froze for a moment looking up at the dinosaur that had just come to her rescue, at this point Edith had no words. So instead of talking, Sheol looked back at Transcendent, raised her arms and let loose a torrent of fire in his direction. Now that all the civies were running away Sheol could turn up the heat.
Height: 6’0 Weight: 165lbs Fashion Sense: Natha is always, always in his suit. There isn’t a second of the day where his suit isn’t on. To match his suit Nathan wears only the fanciest of dress shoes, matt colours are for peasants. Distinguishing Features: Sometimes Nathan can be found sporting some classic demon features. Crocked horns that resemble lightning bolts and a thin tail tipped with an arrowhead. Also, his eyes can act independently of one another be it expanding, constricting or just going cross-eyed Nathan can do it all. Aside from that, the picture captures him well.

Backstory:
” Alright so we can skim over all the boring stuff, dad left, flunked out of school blah blah blah. Mum said I was hanging out with the ‘wrong’ crowd so she bailed too, don’t blame her honestly those thugs were a bunch of twats. So yeah... I’d managed to get myself stuck under the thumb of this drug lord douchebag named Antonio. This is where things start to get interesting.
So Mr DL’s got me going out and making the deals for him. Basically using me as a salesman, me being the absolute legend that I am, do this flawlessly and get the guy a metric shit load of business. Aaaand then I fucked up and sold some coke to a cop. Needless to say, Antonio was less than pleased to find his operation compromised. So I had to get out of town cuz the fuzz and Antonio’s goons were on my ass.”
” Could you speed this up? This much blood is only going to keep this portal open for another three minutes.”
” Ok shit uhh… Hitman! Yeah that’s it set by Antonio ended up being my fucking dad! That’s why the prick left. You can imagine the shock on his face when he pulled a gun on me, only alive because the dumbass flinched. But yeah, dad and the cops are still on my case, so I was wondering if you could help a brother out.”
” Well the thing is, if you’re looking for long term help then this portal isn’t going to cut it. Can’t do much if I’m stuck I’m sucked back to hell. Well unless I inhabit your body.”
” Ok hold up. Inhabit my body? You’re a demon, right? What’s the catch?”
” The catch is I inhabit your body. I’ll be part of you. And sometimes I’ll take the reigns, I’ve always wanted to get out of hell. It’s kinda dull down her after a few thousand years. Oh quick question, how’d you figure out how to summon me?”
” I found a book in the library, but that’s beside the point. You’re going to inhabit and control me? Sounds like you’re the only winner here. What do I get from this?”
” Well first off I’ll only take the wheel sometimes. As for the perks you’d get demonic powers, magic, immortality all that good stuff… You got thirty seconds.”
” .... Fuck it fine. Get in here. But I warn you, you fuck me over and I’ll find a way to fuck you up. Still don’t know why you needed for me to tell you my story though.”
” I was checking to see if you were a pussy. Lucky for you, you’re not. Now sit still, this might sting.”
Turns out being half-demon isn’t all that bad, especially when you pick a demon as awesome as Annoroth. With her help, I’ve managed to get my ass out of the UK. Dad’s still after me though, fucker almost got me twice actually.
Things are looking good aside from that though, I get to have sick powers and get to fuck with people while Annoroth gets to have some fun chilling in this dimension. Ended up being a win-win situation.
Abilities:
Who needs a doctor: Nathan can regenerate from most wound, things like bullets mean little to him. His regeneration is not passive and it requires him to actively heal himself, and while it is very potent he can’t just keep healing endlessly. Healing takes up a lot of gogo juice. So dealing consistent damage is the best way to take him down.
Good thing I keep extras: Nathan can summon small scale objects. Things like clothing or pieces of paper. These objects dissipate if they are too far away from Nathan, turning into thick black smoke.
Fire baby: Nathan has low level pyrokinesis. Fireballs and jets of flame are his bread and butter. Won’t be making any massive explosions though, at least not without hurting himself.
Poof: Nathan can “teleport” short distances, with a current max range of 15 meters. When he teleports Nathan turns into a cloud of smoke that quickly floats to his desired location before reforming into whatever state he was in when he started.
Who needs the gym: Being half-demon Nathan is a little stronger than your average person. roughly twice as strong.
Talk about sharp nails: Nathan can transform parts of his body and use them as weapons. Nathan uses this to make claws and quills all sorts of things. Though he’s limited to rather primitive constructions at the moment. He can also do things like bulk himself up to add some extra strength or harden his skin so it can resist attacks more effectively.
I’ll take the wheel: If Nathan finds himself in a pickle he doesn’t quite know to get out of Annoroth can take control and have a crack at it. The main benefit of this is that Annoroth is a much better fighter and knows how you use all of Natha’s powers well, given that those powers are drawn from Annoroth.
21 again: Nathan doesn't age. He can still be killed and all that. But he's not going to keel over from old age.
Limitations: Only having had his powers for a little over a year Nathan hasn’t had the opportunity to fully explore or develop his abilities. Nathan’s body is also still super young for a demon-human hybrid and has a long way to go before it’s strong enough to handle the full extent of Annoroth’s power. It’ll take time to reach his max potential.
Equipment: ”I can summon fire. Why would I need weapons?”
I got a feeling Marie and Nathan are going to be seeing each other a lot. And I look forward to it, have some friendly banter and try to kill one another. Except the banter probably won't be friendly.
