Name: Zero
Age: 16

Title: Mercenary of Sorrow
Race: Half Human/Half Demon

Appearance:
Zero's appearance is that of a normal human apart from the bone like growths all over his body. His skin is mottled due to multiple scars and wounds littering it from countless battles. Scars tinted with black and red form deep tracks and grooves which swirl and curve like some kind of tribal formation tattoo.
His eyes can be seen through the mask, in flashes of his deep crimson and silvery grey swirling eyes, these are often enough to distract his more inadept foes for they become so absorb by staring into his eyes, allowing him the first strike which is often the last and final one to end the battle.
His face is covered by a mask made from a bone like material which covers all of his face except from a small piece cracked out during a battle exposing a decaying piece of his cheek flesh below his right eye.
His hair is sliver mid back length with deep crimson and sky blue natural tints. He usually wears his hair up in a pony tail which is held in place by a ring of bone manipulated into the shape of a ring by his ability to manipulate bone, the piece of bone can be summoned back to his blade at any time during a battle or whenever needed.
Zero is quite muscular on the upper half of his body, though it doesn't seem likely he would have a toned body due to his many deforming bone growths he has a reasonably toned upper body.His chest is the most muscular part of his body for he mainly uses the upper half of his body during his workouts and battles.
His arms are muscular yet scarred beyond belief for the main feature of his arms are the multiple channels running the length of his arms caused by him blocking blades with his bare arms.
His legs are unrecognizable as legs for they are covered in a variation of the bone like material, which allows for movement of the joints allowing him to move around as a normal human beings would.
Zero's hands are the only other part apart from the mask which covers his face which is unlike any humans for his right hand is a claw like gauntlet which he tends to keep covered by a black leather fighting glove, which has been adapted the same as all of his clothes so that when ripped they will reform back to their original shape.

Attire: Zero's attire is just like any other human beings apart from the fact all of his clothing when ripped or torn can reform into their original shape.
Zero wears on his chest a loose baggy fitting black short sleeve shirt which he wears atop of a red vest which upon it is emblazoned his title with which he is none to much of the world "mercenary of sorrow".
On Zero's legs he wears a loose fitting pair of black cargo pants which has the most of the pockets which contain but a few of the many scrolls of incantations and spells which he uses to help control his inner demon.
On top of all his torso wear he wears a long floor reaching white leather high collared trench coat which running down the center of the back has two loops of toughened leather with which he attaches his sheathed blade to carry it.
Upon his feet he wears a plain black pair of trainers which also contain small bone blades tipped with silver which when pressure is applied to the outside of the heel of the trainer the blade will pop out silently.

Weapons:
Derios:
Zero uses a 10ft two handed blade forged from his own manipulated bone. The hand guard is in the shape of skull which when called upon can intertwine itself into Zero's bones of his arm and turn his whole arm into long bone spear with which he has much more chance of hitting his foes for he can move it faster than swinging the blade as it is attached to him allowing for fast and easy movement of the heavyweight blade. The blade can also transform itself into a bone made creature which under the control of Zero can flit around at such speeds noone but an extremely good marksman could pick up the movement and sounds of the large bone wings flapping, the creature can "spit" bone spikes in bunches of 20 small paralysing tipped spikes or three large spikes which are tipped with three barbs allowing them to become hooked under his foes skin. The creature can then mould itself back into the blade at a snap of Zero's fingers.

Forbidden Gauntlet:
This "gauntlet" is not a gauntlet as such it is the name Zero has given to his clawed right hand as it looks much like a spiked gauntlet. He has the ability to extend and expand any of the spikes at will meaning he can use these for just about any purpose. Also if his blade is in the creature form he can manipulate one of his claws into a new makeshift blade which although is strong it is only a quarter of the strength of Derios.

Magiks and Abilities
Zero possess multiple arcane magiks and abilities such as being able to manipulate his bones, into armour or his ribs and arm bones into shields or turning his claws into blades or manipulating his existing blade into the bone creature.
Zero also has the ability to call demons from the shadows to do his bidding, though he only has basic control over them such as telling them to attack to stop and to disappear into the shadows. Though he can call on his inner demon during times of need and this is his sworn least attempt at defeating his foe. By unleashing his inner demon he gains temporary invulnerability to pain so he can continue his attacks even if he has been shot multiple times and or slashed several times, once he returns to normal his bone will attempt to grow to cover the injured areas causing them to become scarred as the bone grows through and forms a scab like shell around the wounds.
Zero can control basic elements as well allowing him to control the direction fire travels and how hot it becomes, he also has control over the rain,snow and hail for he can decide how heavy the fall of the snow,rain or hail is and the size and duration of the showers during which it falls. He can also bend air to fit his needs, so for instance he can create small cyclones to disarm his enemies. He also has some control over lightning and electricity, for though it scorches his skin he can absorb “static” electricity and amplify the shock given out by the electricity by up to 20 times that of the original charge absorbed.
Zero also has a very small amount of being able to control nature meaning he can call small beasts to his side when he is in need of an escape route and distraction even though he very rarely does this for he prefers to stay and fight.

Armour:
Zero doesn't wear armour as such for he uses his ability to adapt bone to form all his armour needs. Though it doesn't have the same strength as metal armour he can keep refreshing the layer of bone as a blade cuts in so it gives the effect the blade is travelling nowhere. His bone mask can transform into a kind of full head helmet when needed to allow for no damage to be done to his already decaying body.

History:
All Zero know's of his history is that he was born to a religious family who when attacked by demons, he was nominated by his parents to be the vessel to carry the demon who had plagued there town for the last hundred years.
After he had had the demon sealed inside of him, he was fine for a few years till he heard an incantation being muttered during a visit to his local church which caused the seal to slip slightly leaking but a small fraction of the demons true powers, but that was all he needed to drive Zero insane and ultimately driving him to kill everyone but his pet dog in his town.
Though he ended up turning his dog into a demon which he often calls upon for in its demon state it has the mind of a savage rabid wolf.
That is all Zero can remember of his history since the seal has slowly slipped leaking more and more of the demons true powers into Zero's body slowly changing him from the inside out.
**more of his history will come back to him and will be in flash backs during the battles, causing him to slip into a lapsed state which allows easy access to attack him.**
