Name: Barbarus Holmstein Dawnstriker
Age: 39
Ethnicity: High-Human
Body Description:
Face: An unnaturally green right eye. Deep terrible scarring around his left eye, his left eye is milky white as if blind. More scarring along the left side of his mouth and cheek, deep scarred cuts, right side of his mouth replaced with silver teeth and jaw.
Hair: Dark black hair, shoulder length that he keeps up in the back. His injuries prevent facial hair from growing on his face.
Physicality: On the taller side but of mostly average height compared to other men. Incredibly fit due to his intense training as a Hunter Reaper. Many scars on his body from past experimentation. Covered most of them up with tattoo's affiliated with the Hunter Reapers of Bazyek.
Tattoos: Four simple bars with a skull on the top on his left forearm to signify his position as Master Class Hunter Reaper. The Reaper Hunter Insignia, a black raven with a red skull and two white swords crossed in the back covers his back. Another on the left side of his chest is a collection of bird feathers meant as a tribute to his warbird, Pilate. One covering much of his neck which depicts a daunting, flaming skull eating a serpant. Other smaller ones litter his body, skulls, beast, all in vain to hide his scars. They hide most. Not at, but most.
Background: Abandoned at a young age and growing as a street urchin, Barbarus was a nameless child on the street just barely getting back in the large, dismal city of Molstar in the world of Wyunnlyk. He was eventually kidnapped by a group of rouge mages and alchemist who performed a wild and painful experiments on him with the hopes of turning him into a mindless killing machine. However, before they could succeed they were invaded by a squad of Hunter Reapers, leading to the Hunter Reaper's adoption of the young, nameless lad. The Hunter Reapers, working under the authority and whim of the Church of Attenuation, he was named Barbarus Holmstein Dawnstriker and brought up as an apprentice to the Order of Hunter Reapers. It was quickly discovered he had powers resulting from the pact made with an ancient goddess and was trained as a Hunter Reaper with this power in mind. He was taught to worship the other gods of the church as well, through hard work and training gaining their blessing as well. Quickly rising through the ranks of the organization as a young man, he earned the moniker "Black wolf" for his ferocity in battle. Through dedicated service and incredibly strong faith he became master class, leading a squad of Hunter Reapers that hunted all manner of man and beast that stalked the night and would otherwise do harm to the church and her people. He fell in love and eventually married his longtime partner, Dice. They had children, eventually giving up their status as Hunter Reapers to live peaceful lives. Peace would not remain, however, as after one trip he came back to his home to find his wife and children slaughtered; evidence pointed to rogue wizards and witches. He'd spend the next years hunting them, only to die by their hand. That's where the story begins for our Reaper….
Personality: Oh you'll see….
Friends:
Pilate, his warbird which using the power of Yultenven he can briefly inhabit and see what he sees. Pilate is a mixture between a hawk and raven, all black with red eyes.
Skills/Abilities: Due to his training and education with the Hunter Reapers he has incredible physical capabilities, hand to hand combat, use of a sword and crossbow, as well as throwing knives make him a difficult opponent to face. Not to mention the hidden cannon in his black metatide arm. Metatide plates surgically placed within him also make him incredibly resilient to physical damage. He also possesses some magical capabilities, which go as follows:
Balka, God of Mercy: Allows him to cast a spell on him and others in a heightened state that increases battle prowess, activated with a long or short invocation depending on experience and power of blessing.
Grimmon, Goddess of Light: Allows for Hunter Reapers to cast magiks against unholy beast, typically resulting in their burning or complete implosion, can also be used on weapons.
Hulpa, God of Health and Longevity: Allows for two spells, simple healing or increases vitality and energy for a short time on intended target.
Carcivia, Goddess of Darkness and Shadow: Allows of Hunter Reapers to step into the shadows-literally-allowing them to move in an almost spirit like state among any place of darkness for a time, which depends on power of blessing. Most don't have it due to the sometimes harmful side effects.
Yultenyen, Goddess of Death and Spirit: Allows for Barbarus to absorb the souls of those he has killed, gaining incrementally small amounts of power with each absorption. Can release these spirits as a spiritual attack, is particularly effective against mages as it severs their connection with their magic and gods. Can apply to his weapons.
Weapons/Equipment:
Hunter Blade, Frostbite: Possesses a frost enchantment of significant power. Inscribed in the Bazyek tongue is "Spill the blood of beast and men so their holiness may reign" following symbolistic runes representing Balka, Hulpa, Grimmon, and Carcivia.
Hunter Crossbow, Spiker: A unique crossbow, uses clips of bolts rather than a large chamber and bowstring. Has the same inscription as Chillrend. Can use a multitude of bolts as well as be enchanted with Yultenven or Grimmon.
Hunter Coat, Hat, Boots: While on the lighter side, does possess sufficient padding and plating for heavy resistance to magic and relative resistance to
Yultenyen's Eye: His eye allows him to see in the dark and sense beats of the night from a distance.
Yultenyen's Mark: What allows him to make offerings to the ancient goddess. A mark consisting of a triangle with three lines drawn in the middle. Meant to represent the three stages of living: Birth, Life, and Death.
Hunter throwing Knives, Kalibari: Throwing knives often laced with poison or a paralysis salve, Barbaras often uses them as utility on smaller opponents with cracks in their armor.
Hand Canon, Metatide metal arm, "Bone Crusher" : Not only is it deadly being used as an unarmed weapon but can is also collapsible to reveal a Cannon with several barrels, all of which can be turned using a silver mechanism. This weapon cannot be removed and is fused with his body.
Class: Rogue, Demon Hunter.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Is a good leader and excellent combatant. However, sees thing strongly in the way of his faith. Can get too invested in certain situations. Has what most would consider a rough personality.
