Mana Personal  Name: Erebus Cassiel Age: Twenty Gender: Male Class: Adventurer Rank: C Guild: Grimoire Heart Tattoo: Positioned on the left-side of the torso. Red. Face: Hakumen - Blazblue Appearance Height: 6'4 Weight: 177lbs Hair: Dark Eyes: Golden Overall: Erebus sports a naturally silver tipped hair, with a dangerous atmosphere to himself. He wears his own choice of black and white base appearance. It doesn't knock his speed, and also provides him mild-to severe bodily protection. The man keeps a long red sword holster sheathed on his back, so it's quite distinguishable as part of his repertoire. His eyes are like cyan and his teeth are well taken care of, but this is shrouded behind a completely white steel-force face plate. The face-plate doesn't blind Erebus. Erebus is very tall, athletic, muscular and lean. His trademark appearance lies in his suit of armor, which is worn more so to be a choice of clothing rather than a practical defense. Erebus's body consists of fit and toned calf muscles, biceps, and etc. He has an eight-pack, largely due to his training. Extra:  Personality Personality: Erebus is a man with little care for the well-being of the living and innocent. He does what he wants, how he wants. The man stopped caring about trivial things long ago when he was just a kid. Now he is not even half the punk, trouble-maker he was, but a mercenary force with a background that doesn't really fit his outwardly image. Nonetheless, he doesn't let this slow him down. In fact, he begs for anyone to question his skill. He is not a foe to trifle with unless one seeks to meet the end of his blade. Regarded as a genius all his life by teachers, then shot down everyday by his own circumstances. That's the gist of how Erebus lived and breathed before becoming the infamous 'Strategist'. He obtained such a name because of his innate abilities to plot angles and hit genius level trick shots in any sport he ever picked up-- and then later, any battle he got down too, he was a master at creating field advantages to his liking; simply by manipulating outside factors to his bidding. Erebus was every bit the definition of a natural born practitioner-- he was even named such by his guild. To tell you truthfully, Erebus Cassiel never had the things other kids did growing up, in fact, he had to hurt others to get what they had. Social Darwinism as it was, survival of the fittest. It was this rule that turned him down a road of crimes and syndicate operations. While this did, still does, in all actuality; make him a bully, it speaks mountains that what he is doesn't please him. Or didn't at one tie, before he took to the highroad. Erebus is very quick to snark and backtalk. He's not afraid to insult nobility. Erebus Cassiel was at a time generally known to be a womanizer; making moves against girls with lots of confidence. This would often make him the dominant type in a relationship, especially if he sees his confidence as a weapon. However, equally as fierce women seem to be what he interests himself in. Erebus is remarkably talented and covert with his hands, this a side affect of his natural prestigious ability. The man was said to have picked up games like basketball after having only watched other's play. This begs the question whether he's actually far smarter and clever than first thought. In short, if he weren't always smoking and drowning his sorrows behind materialistic things, he could amass to be a truly devastating strategist. Erebus holds heavy resentment, though also respect, for those whom he cannot equate too, unless they pass onto him some of their wisdom; he'll feel robbed. Above most feelings, Erebus is relaxed, and collected, yet seething and gritting his teeth under the surface. The man spent the remainder of his life angry after all-- so such things rubbed off on his general outlook. The only times he is happy are when he's in the presence of pleasurable company, or excelling in athletic sport. See, that's a fact of life he leaned early on, if the physical courts were his; and the mystical theirs... Then honor must be a joke, ability a joke too, this is a world meant only for the elite in their chosen field. Not all men are born equal. They're just born into different worlds. Erebus has sworn pursuit of power, and constantly picks up and drops books about magic. Because of this, he is exceedingly versed in the mechanisms making up one's mana, willpower, and the elemental as well as arcane sources. Despite being in capable of doing it himself. However, this gives him the edge mentally, as he feels balanced against most oppositions. This confidence falls just under arrogance, but at the same time makes him a difficult shell to crack. When fighting others, Erebus Cassiel will proceed to pick on the chosen target, flustering or enraging them until he can gain a mental advantage... It's all a battle of wits after that point; and the adventurer can safely say he doesn't lose those very often. Erebus's deep level of animosity, rage, turmoil... It is what gives him the dark, cold nature, a violent, but yet even angsty way of seeing the world. After all, it made him lose so much, and destroyed all of his future to be anything other than something which is impossible for him. Without magic, how can you even become a 'mage?' Speaking of mages, Erebus actually carries disdain when he sees them. Just hookers in tight shorts, and fire-breathing idiots to cause more trouble than good. It was no surprise he'd eventually turn eyes to a darker source. Such being the infamous Grimoire Heart. Secretive, but equally as powerful as guilds like Phantom Lord. The Strategist, as said earlier is not always a boiling pit of hate. At times he will be very calm in the group, even among others' in Grimoire Heart, he's skeptical-- but trusting in their ascension to power. He believes as a secret society they are pivotal to bringing change to Fiore and for that he follows in behind. Aside from this, it's his own lustful and evil intentions to strength. Without magic, he seeks a way to grow in power. Enlisting took ages, but without their help, Erebus Cassiel doesn't think he will ever amount to the person he needs to be. He grows hungry for redemption, and dreams of taking what was his back. Erebus is on a dark path, thirsty for acceptance. Since becoming a feline, the terrorist adopted a sense of playfulness. He jokes, has a humor, but isn't even close to as merciful as he once was. After becoming a Lycan, he turned to a quieter, yet more calculating persona. but still has every other quality which once made him who he is. Most would say Erebus is more dangerous now than ever before. Likes:

History History: Erebus began in a bus station nineteen years ago, it was the hard streets back then, and his mother was dating a real shady guy at the time. Little did Erebus know back then, but this was Boris Sokolov, and he was the illegitimate son of the man. Sad as it was, he was a bastard even if he wanted to deny it. Strategist was related to a great deal of light mages and rune knights alike because of this-- while they aspired to be heroes, he took the darker path. Boris was much older than Erebus's mother, so it was obvious where the relationship was heading. Honestly, neither were the most intimate at all in that relationship, equating to just sex and drugs being the highlights of what the two parents did together. Erebus being born? It was an accident, it's all he ever would be to his mom anyways. His father never cared enough to learn who he was. Not that it even mattered. When Momma Cassiel got pregnant, Daddy Boris took off-- as expected, he was never seen again from the son, nor it's mother. Nine months later, after a twelve hour labor alone, Erebus was born. He'd thankfully be inheriting his mother's maiden name; which he found better than his first name. Now in the world, he was crying and shitting, as per usual things for a baby to do. Momma Cassiel took two jobs to take care of them both for the next five years. During the ages to come she was with many men, and he'd get two more siblings to be born under him during that time. Both of them with different fathers, yet still the same mom to struggle to raise them on her own. Erebus didn't care if his mother was a whore-- who'd ruined their lives, nor did he care his life was ruined at the time. But the girls were different, they needed to live a mostly normal life. The son left home regularly to take jobs of his own, what didn't go towards the home was turned into cigarettes, marijuana, and alcoholic beverages which he grew up resorting to because of bad influences in the neighborhood. After realizing her son was putting in quite a bit of work and money, the mother quit her jobs entirely and started seeing men again. Her lust kept Erebus up at night, but honestly, if he dared talk back to that woman she'd just make things hard on him. So he started leaving the house at night and hitting the local basketball court. There he met a lot of really good players, who later invited him onto the team. Erebus was suppose to go to state with his team but couldn't, his grandfather had recently gotten sick. Growing up, Grandpa Cassiel was all Erebus really had as a father figure. Sure, the boy was a troublemaker, but his Grandpa had established at least some kind of examples for him to follow. The adventurer felt a pang of guilt when he realized how many times he'd cried and his Grandfather had been there to quell his pain. Yet now, his grandfather was at death's door. The old man died. Erebus felt a shadow of guilt and never recovered from his ultimate depression. The old man however was keen to save up money, and left their household with enough jewels to stay wealthy for a long time, finally a shred of hope. Pfft, as if. Just as things started to look good-- a new character emerged into the life of the Cassiels. Victor Morgrieve, a mage from Crocus. He was in debt to a mob so of course he saw easy cash in banging the boy's mother. The two married after only three months together. Erebus tried to fight the guy, scare him off, but magic just wasn't fair-- they were on different playing fields. The two clashed continuously on more than one occasion; until ultimately his mother threw him out for the stronger man, the one who could make her feel good. Endangering his sisters and ruining their only chances in life, but whatever right? Yeah, Erebus Cassiel was not happy with his mother for that one. Would you be if you were in his place? Probably not... It was always like that. Soon after leaving, Erebus's mother caught sickness, it was a cancer much like her father's, but unlike before, no one would be there to comfort her. Instead there'd just be a man, the one eyeing her inheritance. To rob her silly and pull her off the treatment just as soon as he could... Not all men are born equal, Erebus told himself. He decided he'd kill Victor officially that day. Not on that day, but in the future. For sure. So, he set off in search of how... Erebus ventured far from home for the next year, obtaining all the information on 'The Ark' and rumors of it he could. Somehow, someway, he managed to find them. The guild that had seemingly managed to 'out' the Etherion Cannon. He get recruited by them just as he'd planned, his ambition was to find someone amongst their numbers to help him grow. They all would, much to his disbelief. Since then, he's fought tooth and nail to keep up with mages. Their magic, even the weaker ones, far surpassed anything he was close to. But something about an unrelenting ego, and a blood thirst, kept him fighting. He desperately seeks power in this world, one in which he can finally enact vengeance with. Which leads him to where he is now, a weak nobody. Who is only beginning to write his name across the history books. But that'll all change. Skip forward, and Erebus is the second most wanted criminal in Fiore, he has not only become a Neko, though the former was not wanted, in his timeline; but even further he became a Lycan. He is an active mercenary force, coming up above even the more powerful mages across the globe. Having not only recruited other members of Grimoire Heart, but beginning to train them and help them grow in their own ways; he has turned into a vital piece of GH. Erebus was a favored contender in the world martial arts tournament and was recognized for his strength there. He knows he still has much to learn in the world, but he's developed himself into a well trained fighter. Even the most respected Rune Knights would be wise to approach with caution. Erebus attained his sleek white armor from a cave along a shore in Hargeon. It stuck with him and has the innate ability to be as strong as whatever normal armor he picks up and 'equips'. Thus, he never has to readjust his glam or style, since it is already completed. His weaponry however, changes whenever he discovers a new sword to upholster-- swing-- and then manipulate. Erebus is has become a Lycan swordsman. |
