APPEARANCE:
Silas is a tall raven haired male with deep red eyes the shade of crimson. His complexion is generally clean and healthy due to a lack of sunlight exposure but is exceptionally pale, bearing a porcelain white tone. His midnight black hair is a bit long even for it's style and almost reaches his collarbones, with a mildly thick texture that adds a bit of masculinity to it's otherwise soft appearance. Silas's features are well developed and handsome; he generally looks his age, but exudes a more aged maturity in sheer vibe.
His shoulders are quite broad and he's actually very muscular. It's not that he works out all the time, but simply that he's got good genes, and the training he does perform for his fullbring abilities are plenty enough to maintain his physique. Silas's body is pretty sculpted and he has a gorgeous set of abs. Smooth but strong and firm his leanness helps his physical appeal further. He does however tend to wear a lot of clothes, making it infrequent to see his exposed flesh.
Silas is very fond of upper scale, simple business clothing. White dress shirts, black slacks and dark leather shoes coupled with his favorite blood red trenchcoat are his usual attire. He sometimes wears a wide-brimmed red hat with crimson slacks to match his coat, coupled with an antique necktie he's quite fond of, but is also seen in simpler attire. Occasionally he'll opt quite suddenly for a very BDSM-esque black leather suit covered in studs with a matching set of tall, daunting boots.
Silas will usually comb his hair to the left or allow the raven locks to flow wildly of their own accord, but never ties it up or puts it in a form that restricts it's flow.
BRIEF PERSONALITY
HARDENED
SOUL
twisted in coils
LIKES:
X ~ Wolves; these majestic creatures are some of the last vestiges of natural loyalty in the world and Silas admires them for their various qualities.
X ~ Paintings; the older the better, as every art piece is a window to it's creators soul, allowing Silas to learn of older times.
X ~ History; out of morbid curiosity Silas wonders if someone has ever had the same ideas as him and finds it interesting to investigate if he's as original as he thinks he is.
X ~ Body mod; tattoos and piercings quickly take Silas's eye for his interest in them but he has yet to acquire any of his own ecause he hasn't found anything good enough for him yet.
X ~ Gothic Stuff; from the people to the style and the ancient architecture it spawned from this is one of the few stereotypes Silas actually likes.
X ~ Night crawling; every night is an adventure teeming with promise from fornication to bar fights and simple aesthetics to be seen.
X ~ Crossdressers; for sex Silas would prefer an exceptionally feminine male good at dressing in women's clothing though he himself has no interest in crossdressing.
X ~ Good art; sieces of wonderful design and deep, moving detail greatly move Silas.
X ~ Hollows; Silas feels a resonance with these dark souls though he has no qualm in suffocating them with his powers.
X ~ Black coffee; for pumping caffeine into the blood fast, nothing quite compares except for a syringe.
DISLIKES:
X ~ Shitty art; pieces that are little more than accidental dribbles or swipes of paint on a blank canvas are more like an insult to Silas's appreciation of art.
X ~ Trendy artists; people who immerse themself in art only for it's subculture to change their own image rather than to make images from within.
X ~ Feminism; little more than a front for misandry to Silas, to which he has the utmost apathy toward.
X ~ Politics; hearing two little ants bugger on about problems they'll never solve except by astronomically inferior probability is quite annoying.
X ~ Deviants; those people who bend or flagrantly boast of their sexuality purely for attention, trying to appear unique but ironically making themselves quite mainstream in the process.
X ~ Stupidity; Silas believes in genes and hereditary intelligence, by proxy accepting that there will be stupid people that don't contribute to their offspring positively.
X ~ Racism; to brand an entire race with opinions seems stupid to Silas, but ironically he generally views most american blacks he meets as animals for their subculture and opinions and sees them as genetically lesser.
X ~ Abortion; a human does not have four arms, two hears, and twenty fingers - he sees a fetus as a life of it's own that one shouldn't make decisions for, though he doesn't give a fuck if that entity chooses not to live as soon as it can understand it's decision.
X ~ Free money; part of why Silas hates politics, generally half the people arguing are ones who just want a hand-out, or are so innocent they feel like tossing their money at strangers out of misguided altruism.
X ~ Fanaticism; Silas believes in a person's choice to worship something, but hates it when it is done as little more than a fashion statement or a means of absolving oneself of guilt and inferiority with no care for anything else.
NEGATIVE TRAITS:
X ~ Male chauvinist; perhaps not blatant or immediately oppressive, Silas is annoyed by most women and wants them to have a smaller place in life.
X ~ Morbid; Silas has broad tastes but is marked by his interest in very dark feelings, particularly in artwork.
X ~ Close minded; though he takes interest in many perspectives on numerous subjects, he really only believes in his own, and everyone else may as well be idiots.
X ~ Narcissistic; he's not a sociopath but is consumed in his own interests for bitterness towards human beings.
X ~ Abrasive; out of the blue he can shatter someone's self esteem in an instant if he feels they were at fault, even if it was just a minor lapse of naivete.
X ~ Lazy; pretty difficult for Silas to feel motivated unless his blood is almost saturated with caffeine.
X ~ Hard of heart; Silas doesn't have soft squishy feelings anymore, he's much more driven by other sensations and that's off putting to others when they realize it.
X ~ Blunt; insensitive when it comes to truth and honesty, breaking bitter facts on others that would rather he didn't say anything or attempted to console them.
X ~ Arrogant; Silas thinks he's intelligent and strong, and while he is pretty sharp, he is pretty egotistical about it on the inside despite rarely speaking of himself.
X ~ Addictive personality; he's hooked on coffee, probably hooked on sex too, and would be hooked to heavier things if he wasn't smart enough to keep away from them; but he's generally an easy addict.
POSITIVE TRAITS:
X ~ Damn brilliant; Silas's redeeming quality as he'll always grasp what others are trying to say and has good thoughts on most subjects; what seems complicated to most is common sense to him.
X ~ Honest; he's pretty reliable for truth and doesn't sugar coat anything, though if forced to lie he'll do it.
X ~ Stubborn; maybe it's not actually a positive quality, but it can be and it makes him pretty persistent.
X ~ Self sufficient; Silas is largely independent of social needs, though not detached entirely from them, although there's a few things he can't do for himself.
X ~ Grounded; Silas is always in pretty good control of his feelings without fits of impulsiveness, generally being cool headed when it comes to temper too.
X ~ Creative; painting demands a lot of this, but it's useful in every facet of life too.
X ~ Attractive; he isn't everyone's type, but Silas generally keeps in good shape and is well maintained, and to the right person he can seem very interesting.
X ~ Decisive; a tough decision doesn't freak Silas out; he will make a swift and effective choice without hesitation even if it's a bitter one that he must take.
X ~ Instinctive; largely driven by impulse and whim, Silas is pretty well connected with his own nature which is a bit more wolfish than the usual human's for the Hollow essence within him.
X ~ Tasteful; dresses well, and be a bit suave if he wants to, though his preference is less for shallow conversation
EXTRAS:
Romantically, Silas isn't very interested in women despite being straight. He's more interested in naturally feminine males, preferably ones who crossdress, or male-to-female transsexuals. Given the rarity of such people and his own lack of interest in romance, Silas isn't likely to get into any sort of relationship.
WEAPONRY/POWERS
DARK
LORD
agony unimaginable
WEAPONS:
Relies entirely on Fullbring.
FULLBRING:
name: chernobog
item: Slas bears an immediately unnerving accessory worn on his left ring finger. It is a black series of strange plates separated into three segments joined by smaller joints. The entirety of the artifact is exceptionally well crafted - and certainly not of modern making. It has the conductive properties of metal, but they are imperfect, and unlike metallic substances it is not magnetic. It is actually the opposite, interfering with electrical appliances and internet wherever it goes by disrupting magnetic currents. This effect is so small however as to not threaten electricity based powers at all. It exposes the underside of it's wearer's fingertip, while a sharp tip shaped like a demented crow's beak extends past the fingertip mounted on it's top above. The tops of the plates are in artistic edges depicting a morbid, abstract images of dark feathers blended into a skeletal architecture, forming a grim, slender face above the object's "beak". It is attached to it's wearer's flesh. Silas can't take it off without losing his finger, as the object symbolically represents devotion, but also forces very dark and occult in nature. When the powers of the Fullbring are in use a spectral black centipede of auric essence grows from the artifact, and coils around Silas's arm. If the item itself is damaged somehow, it steals flesh and blood from Silas's body which is converted into it's own structure, repairing itself at his expense.
ability: Chernobog is a clad type Fullbring, producing a covering around Silas's arm. This takes the form of the black phantom centipede - but unlike the armor of many clad abilities, this centipede is incorporeal. All attacks will move right through it, offering it's bearer absolutely no protection. When the power of the fullbring is active, any attacks striking the ring Silas wears are transferred to another part of his body, inflicting raw damage to unprotected flesh. No part of Chernobog protects it's wielder, at least not without the use of techniques. Chernobog creates extremely malign energy from Silas's consciousness that manifests as a black fog in it's unrefined state but can take advanced forms like the dark centipede through techniques. It is all fueled by his reiatsu as well. The centipede simply aids in the delivery of this dark essence, and it's size and shape are proportional to his reiatsu, becoming simpler and smaller as it dwindles or grows. Chernobog demands a deep attunement to the Hollow side of Fullbringer power and thus it's ability largely uses Silas's body as a conduit. From his left arm, through the artifact and then out from it and the centipede, Silas expels a black fog. This is the pure, extremely destructive force of Chernobog. This power possesses the ability to break down both energy and matter alike. If attacking solid objects, it is capable of both blunt and cutting force. Against reiatsu based targets however a different approach is taken. The energy is instead broken down to it's basic particles until dissolved into the darkness, wherein it appears as if the energy has been cancelled out. This is misleading because it is not decay or negation. It is potent destruction so condensed it annihilates without discrimination regardless of scale. It will even harm it's user albeit slowly if they are in contact with it, and the greater their SEI is than their HAN, the more damage they will end up doing to themselves by wielding this dangerous power. The user consumes reiatsu when Chernobog is idle just to avoid damaging themselves. Silas can manipulate the dark fog as an extension of himself. It's not simply energy, but truly a projection of morbid consciousness linked with his own mind, which is part of what enables it to be wickedly violent. This does impose a very negative effect on the user's psyche however. As a sort of mental strain, continued manipulation of the fog saps away their actual conscious presence into Chernobog itself. In extremes it leaves the user with severe disorientation, numbing pain, emotional anguish. It's a brief affliction and without reward. This state is called psychic disruption. So long as these brief episodes of pain and confusion are spaced apart well long term damage is avoided. But, without months of time between each psychic disruption, the user can experience some dementia of the frontal brain lobe and memory loss, while instinct based areas of the brain will grow and take over what is atrophied. This effect is reversible only with therapy and years of recovery away from the spiritual abyss that is Chernobog. However, as painful as it is to be consumed by it, the dark power it offers tempts it's user to reach deeper into it's cursed ability. Apart from suffering damage, one who is close to or touches the dark essence Chernobog expels into the world will experience a sensation of extreme dread and fear, which becomes worse as one becomes closer in proximity with it. It takes immense mental fortitude on the part of the user to endure this effect, but generally those with a high REI are less effected.
(More SEI makes the user less likely to experience psychic disruption. Psychic disruption stuns the user with the same pain souls experience when they turn from spirits to Hollows, making them unable to use techniques for one full post when it occurs. It does not make them mindless or murderous however, as there is no actual takeover of instinct, but it instills deeply negative emotions that can have an accumulative influence on the user. Chernobog's influence doesn't change the user's personality, but can be a catalyst to the development of darker feelings such as fear, despair, doubt and ultimately hatred. Psychic disruption can erase existing personality, however, but otherwise a positive state of being subverts the "normal" influence of Chernobog on the user's mind.)
TECHNIQUES:
Name: Mourned Skies
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Eight posts
Cost: High-Very High
Range: Long
Description: Charges a mass of darkness in Silas's palm for a single post; this demands extreme concentration, as the condensed destructive essence threatens to consume the wielder and rot their flesh if they fail to control it, requiring them to limit their movement and exertion greatly (HOH is reduced by -6 during the charging post, and no offensive techniques with a cost of Moderate or above can be used during the charging post). Should the user be attacked in this time and lose control of the gathered darkness, it will turn on them and inflict a wound on the user's body before disappearing. However, if successfully charged, the user's goal is to shape it into a small dark sphere just barely out of contact with their skin. The black orb moves to levitate in front of Silas's left ring finger, and once he has selected his target, the power within the dark sphere is released in the form of a pitch black beam. This linear projectile is a bit slow (Think of it's HOH as being 2 points lower than Silas's SEI) and is thin, being only a single foot in girth. It is quite powerful however. Whatever touches this darkness is reduced to black ash, or consumed in it's abysmal substance if composed of energy. Any barrier used by the enemy to defend against this technique would require a SEI at least three points higher than Silas's to successfully withstand the dark ray, or would otherwise be punched through like water. Similarly a tremendous difference would have to exist between Silas's SEI and the enemy's HAN for their body to withstand the damage (Requires a difference of 3 or more in the enemy's favor). At the price of setting the cost to 'Very High' Silas can cause the dark ray to expand outwards violently, increasing it's area of effect but reducing it's overall power by roughly a fourth of it's potency. This also makes it slower as it expands, and how far it can expand is determined by a combination of Silas's REI and SEI. Just one being high isn't enough; the demanding nature of this technique requires both.
Name: Tremors of Nocturne
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Three posts
Cost: High
Range: Medium-Long (Hits user at short range)
Description: Shapes a row of black swords from Chernobog's deathly essence; the quantity of blades conjured is proportional to Silas's REI, while his ability to control them is goverened by SEI. These swords appear in front of him before rotating to point their tips at the ground, and then plunge violently into the land. They leave a trail of cracks, fractures, and faults as they travel underground as a formless mass of darkness, before reaching the space beneath their target. From the cracks the dark essence creates in the ground, a black fog will rise from the fractured land beneath an intended enemy, and then swiftly morph into blades soaring upwards without delay. These swords are not truly solid but are instead motions of destructive force, easily cutting those with HAN stats lower than Silas's SEI. If a major advantage in SEI over HAN exists (6-8 points in Silas's favor), the enemy's cuts will be covered in black fog where the swords cut that lingers for two posts. This fog causes severe pain and minor decay during this time, which expands wounds. If an enemy's HAN is 9 points lower than Silas's SEI and they are cut by the blades, the duration of the lingering fog does not increase, but adds a paralysis effect to body parts cut by the blades. Powerful but costly, this technique also has the added inconvenience of being unwise to use near the caster, as the risk of being slain by the dark swords would be present.
Name: Nightshade
Type: Other
Cooldown: 12 Posts
Cost: High
Range: Self
Description: Silas can temporarily overexcite the Hollow power lingering in himself, causing it to influence his being much more heavily. Although this takes a post of charge time to complete it yields a tremendous benefit. Once completed, Silas takes a slightly different form in which his black hair is stained pale white, as well as other minor physical changes. In this state his own fog will no longer harm his body on contact, and damage taken from his fullbring's ability and techniques are temporarily reversed until the duration of this technique ends. This allows him to use fog in greater quantities that would otherwise be too threatening to himself for use, without fear of his own powers consuming him. He retains himself entirely in this state, as there is no real change in personality, but it puts him into a shitty violent mood from the increased magnitude of negative consciousness pervading through his being. However, this state lasts only four posts and doesn't increase his physical or spiritual potency. While it grants him temporary immunity to it's own fog, any damage received from Chernobog before using this technique re-appears after the duration ends, making it useless for any kind of healing purposes. Can only be used rarely, too.
Name: Malevolent Chimes
Type: Offensive/Counter
Cooldown: 6 Posts
Cost: High
Range: Very short
Description: From the dark fog of Chernobog, Silas produces a false doppleganger of himself. The silhouette gains solid form but only for a short time, and can approach any enemy within nine feet of Silas for so long as it exists, leaving a black streak behind itself when moving. While ordinarily quite normal looking aside from being pitch black, this unnatural figure will temporarily morph into a frightening and almost demonic shape the moment an enemy comes into the reach of it's arms, wherein it assumes the form of a nude nine foot tall muscly brute with subtly curved horns and a long, spaded tail. Still entirely pitch black, this frightening entity of shadow assaults the enemy with a barrage of strikes for only four seconds before the dark being vanishes. Each punch briefly discharges the destructive essence of Chernobog's dark smog through the foe's body as a painful vibration. This causes torturous aching of the bones, pain which is matched only by a sharp ringing in the ears which sounds like a chime - hence the name of this technique. This technique uses SEI for both the speed and raw power of the doppleganger. 1-10 SEI might only be enough for it to throw a few simple strikes, while 20 or more SEI is enough for dozens of swift punches, in which the shadow would be capable of complex maneuvers. Because the shadow is solid however it can be damaged by physical attacks, although this is likely to hurt the attacker during the process. While the shadow's strength is determined by Silas's SEI, the shadow is always limited to a mere four seconds of life after assuming it's true form, and cannot attack without changing into that state. It can also be destroyed when not assuming it's true shape (the horned form). Good for a counter but rarely usable.

PAST

HISTORY:
Silas was the offspring of brief media sensation Maria Chevalier, a descendent of french nobility whom later married the owner of a Romanian oil corporation when her own stage life ran out. Her fortune was stagnant and she married originally for status and wealth. Her husband was of an old noble bloodline hailing from Transylvania but had little interest in social affairs or even the upper class he had come from as in modern times bloodlines meant almost nothing.
However, while Silas was just a newly conceived fetus in Maria's womb a terrifying accident occurred whilst she was being driven to a local festival. Her car had been smashed by an invisible force and she was thrashed around the street like a ragdoll by invisible forces. These unseen Hollows fought for her body, destroying the road in the process and breaking her limbs, but ironically ended up killing each other before any single one of them could devour the pregnant female.
It was later blamed to be a collapse of the street or some kind of coincidental seismic activity. Maria went into a coma afterwards and was hospitalized, but had constant visions of the traumatic disaster over and over in her dreams. Each time they repeated the figures of the Hollows appeared clearer and clearer, until finally she saw their masks and horrifying bodies. She awoke screaming of demons and monsters, but otherwise made a miraculous physical recovery due in part to her excellent health.
She later became a fanatical Christian but later turned to Wicca when her fear of the spirits that had assaulted her did not subside. The deaths of the Hollows around her in large quantity had soaked their dark reiatsu into her shocked spirit, changing her mentally and spiritually by a great deal. She developed spiritual awareness... but it served only to draw more Hollows to her, and she would often see the spirits wandering in search of her. When she realized no one else could see them she ceased speaking. Her husband did not seem to mind.
Her pregnancy continued, but eight months later she was attacked a second time, this time at a park. It was only a single Hollow but it dealt a heavy blow to her head... Shinigami arrived and chased the Hollow off elsewhere, leaving behind the woman. She had severe brain injuries and lost all capabilities of speech or reason, though her unborn child had been fortunately unharmed. Her husband, with no answers to take from her, finally bought into her stories of demons trying to assault her as he had no answers and her wound was gravely unnatural. The shape of the Hollow's hand on her had been left behind on her scalp, which he saw as they shaved her head to perform surgery. on her smashed skull.
Silas was born during her time at the hospital, but was a large baby and tore her womb upon exiting it. She bled to death there and perished, but Silas made it safely into life. He was then raised by his father who mourned grievously, suddenly remorseful despite never caring for the woman in life. Silas felt critical of him but never dared to offend the man, as he had a fierce temper when pushed.
He and his father moved to America, hoping to escape the demons... however, growing up as a boy Silas was almost saturated with Hollowfied reiatsu, so much so that weaker Hollows mistook him for a stronger Hollow and avoided him, while he was oblivious to it all. He did see them clearly and relayed his sightings to his father, drawing Hollows as a child. The lone parent was so terrified he immediately moved again, this time to the grounds of an old shrine in Japan near karakura town, seeking mystics and clairvoyants in all manners of superstition for some means of protecting his only child.
At night Silas had strange dreams, inheriting the memories of the Hollows that had maimed his mother. But they came in brief confusing fragments. It was painful for the human mind to experience a Hollow's life, even if it was but seconds at a time, and he awoke one day to find a black ring fused into his finger. It changed as he slept each night and he became oddly fond of it, but it hurt like a stinging ache whenever great anger, fear, or sadness crept over him. and for quite some time he was left confused and at odds with the nightmares he continued to have throughout life. Eventually the ring expanded into plates, covering his finger until it became as it is now...
Apart from the ring and the nightmares however, Silas was generally a bright but cautious young man. In his early days within the Japanese equivalent of middle school, Silas fell in love with a bright young girl. She was always rather nice to him. Originally Silas had been a shy boy, she had been the one to initiate their romance.
Their affair lasted a year before she broke the bad news on him. She wasn't into guys... he was smart, liked and appealing physically, so she'd actually just been trying to experiment but it got way out of hand and she expressed her apologies for that. And she seemed to be content with that explanation, leaving him to go confess to another girl she had already been flirting with.
It wasn't so bad at first, Silas thought it was okay or normal, then a sense of dread and panic crept over him. Extreme feelings of remorse appeared in him as he reacted by thinking he'd done something wrong, but as he inevitably had to acknowledge it wasn't something broken in himself and that he couldn't fix it, his feelings turned more to anger and fear, eventually outright hatred and depression. The artifact on his hand developed it's morbid detail during that time that it shows now. Later that day, Silas's negative emanations of reiatsu reflected the violent current of his feelings, drawing a Hollow to him...
He was usually just interested in these odd creatures, but this one howled at him, and the act of aggression pushed him over the edge in his compromised state. Almost reflexively a mass of blackness spewed from the accessory on his left hand, covering the Hollow and slowly engulfing it's limbs, which crumbled to dust over minutes. The beast thrashed and attempted to fight but was pinned to the ground by the odd force of the fog... eventually it's entire body was decayed, leaving behind only it's mask. Silas smiled all the while with twisted satisfaction and took the mask as a souvenir.
When he realized he had power, he used it. He wondered just how strong the power he had was... going to his ex girlfriends house, he waited until she and her family had left, then immersed the buildings foundation in Chernobog's black fog. Manipulating the essence on dark instinct it sliced through the bottom of the house crudely, and it was then levitated into the air. Channeling the entirety of his heartache, hatred and growing reiatsu into the malign power he discovered, he flung the house into the ocean. He spent the next day in school laughing hysterically at rumors of how crushed the girl had been when she found out someone had stole her entire house from the foundation, finding the ideas people came up with to rationalize the paranormal utterly absurd.
Fourteen years passed since then, in which Silas named his Fullbring and further developed his powers, spending almost all his free time in training his body and spirit. Fullbringer training was demanding especially so since he was alone - with no mentors, he had only his natural talent as a guide, born of the Hollow assaults on his mother as well as the dark souls that had perished near him while he was but a fetus. He later developed the secret identity of "Unsung" and became a masked vigilante, busting criminals but also destroying the dwellings of corrupt politicians, and became fond of hurling houses into the ocean.
Living comfortably with the fortune of his father and money taken with the use of his Fullbring abilities, Silas has enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle shaped by earlier hardship as a young boy and in failed love, becoming a unique but abrasive man with dark tastes and a cold, stifling aura. He has since investigated the mystery of his Fullbring.
