 POWER Hunter has two distinctive powers, one being something that he was born with and the other something that he was cursed with. Hunter was born to be a Guardian, or as some might understand better a "Familiar." (although I'm aware the terms might be significantly different when researched, let's just use the general definitions of them right now) This means that Hunter is forever destined to aid something or someone that he connects with. The connection process is unknown to him, seeing as how is quite young and he has only experienced it once before. Upon being connected to something, most of the time - Hunter is connected for life. It becomes his sole duty to protect and aid whatever he connects with. With this connection Hunter gains enhanced senses and enhanced combat skills. This means that whether or not he wants it, if what he is connected to is in trouble he will protect it to the point of near death or death. Without this connection though, Hunter does not have these enhanced abilities.

Hunter's second power is an ability he was cursed with - which is the curse of the sin Pride. When Hunter is surrounded by people who have an overwhelming sense of Pride, he automatically starts to feed off of it (he has not learned how to control this, and does not know if he really can). From feeding off this emotion, Hunter's appearance takes a drastic change (that will be explained in appearance) as well his personality. Aside from the change in appearance and personality, Hunter gains two swords upon his change. One sword is a mixture of black and red at the handle with leather, the blade itself a lighter shade of black then the handle. This blade has Greek white lettering engraved on it, that most of the time anyone who looks never gets the chance to interpret it. This sword is light handed of course, allowing him to wield the other sword in combination which is the exact opposite. In place of black and red, the handle is white and grey colored leather. The white blade though is curved quite a bit compared to the darker sword, and the black Greek lettering is significantly longer than on the black sword.

The only sword that is capable of drawing blood is the white curved sword. Hunter's black sword can be considered more of a spirit sword despite the fact that he is capable of holding it as if were a real solid sword, in fact anyone who held it - would see it as such. The only difference is that upon impact, Hunter's black sword latches onto the pride in a person and amplifies it in them until the effect is overwhelming and mind consuming. From this, Hunter draws more power. The ways to cancel this out though, are quite numerous. Being able to push Hunter away for example with physical force, or being able to get away from the sword. Mentally and emotionally though, it is very difficult to get away from.

Hunter's white sword, draws blood but has never taken a life. It is the real sword, and it is quite easy for other people to grab and use - although any magical quality it has will remain unknown to any user other than Hunter. Hunter's white sword is capable of bringing someone to their knee's upon blood being drawn (bowing in an act of humility). It is upon this action that the effect of being overwhelmed by pride slowly starts to fade and Hunter returns to being himself.

As I was saying before, these swords are only capable of being accessed in the presence of overwhelming amounts of pride. As well, this curse placed upon Hunter is capable of being removed upon the moment of finding the one item or person he is to guard. The reason as to why Hunter was cursed will be further explained in his history. Lastly, if Hunter makes a connection with an immortal human - Hunter as well becomes immortal through the magic of the connection. This ensures that he is capable of protecting the person he connects with for as long as they both exist. His lifespan ultimately depends on that of whatever he connects with. Until otherwise, Hunter has the normal human lifespan of what is expected of your everyday person.

 APPEARANCE Hunter stands at an overwhelming height of 6"05 with an extremely toned physique. It is easy to see his muscles even when he wears casual loose clothing. The young man's hair is pitch black and worn long, stopping at his shoulder blades. More often then not is hair is worn in a tight pony tail showing off the sharp angles of his face. As for his eyes, the color ranges from green to brown - typically staying hazel depending upon his mood. Hunter is extremely attractive in societies standards. His face could be considered appealing to most, and Hunter takes great care too take to make sure he is in peak human condition in all ways possible. Surprisingly though, Hunter prefers casual clothing over formal and is most often seen with jeans and any sort of t-shirt that looked nice that day.

Upon being consumed by pride, the angles of Hunter's face become deeper and along with his face the young man's body gets contorted in demon-esque manner. Hunter's eyes change to what can be best described as blood red, and his lips are forced in any upward cruel looking smile. For the other changes, Hunter's muscles are much more clearly defined, his nails extend (looking beastly at this point) and his hands turn black. Depending on the amount of pride he is surrounded by decides whether or not the darkness starting at his hands travel throughout the rest of his body. The change in his voice is a transitioning from human to demon sounding. The amount of pride also effects how drastic his appearance change is.

 PERSONALITY Hunter is a man full of both sin and virtue. When unaffected by his curse, Hunter is a sweet young man with quite a touch of charm. Naturally, he is a confident person. He has never had conflict within himself about whether or not he is good enough for something or someone. Hunter knows that he is attractive, and derives a lot of pleasure from flirting with the ladies. This desire stems though, from the empty hole in his being of not being connected to something or someone to rid himself of his curse and be able to fully use his natural born power.

Hunter is experienced in socializing and has no issue being a leader when he in a position where it is called for. Of course, this still only applies when he is not affected by his curse. Hunter is capable of caring for a friend or a significant other, but do to his inability to find his chosen to guard - Hunter tends to come off as manipulative as he immediately loses real interest as the connection he was looking for is not there. This does not mean though that he is unable to feign interest.

Hunter's negative emotions show quite easily upon being affected by his curse. Along with the change in his appearance, Hunter becomes angry to an overwhelming extent. He will be incapable of seeing logic or reasoning until he feels he has passed his sentence on whatever being he chooses. What is interesting though, is that upon using his white sword the young mans eyes always appear to be sad.

When unaffected, Hunter carries himself with grace and well... pride. He does the best that he can because he expects nothing less than the best from himself because he knows he can give it. It's a continuous cycle that most people would consider positive. When naturally angry, Hunter has a tendency to hide from people. Not for the sake of being afraid, but more so wishing to not deal with the world and let his angry fester. Thankfully, Hunter is not a naturally angry person (except of course when curse is applied). Hunter knows one other language besides English, which is Greek. He is capable of speaking and writing in Greek.

 WEAKNESSES  In the presence of a naturally shy or humble person, Hunter can be overwhelmed to the point of insanity. Not quite the tear your hair out and kill yourself insanity, but mores o the the overwhelming distraction on where his mind cannot focus on anything else except that person and he will ultimately stop whatever he is doing. Suffering from vanity, Hunter has a tendency to alienate people - his over confidence can drive the potential of friends away. When Hunter is with children who have not learned the ways of the world yet, the young man finds himself almost immune to the draw of pride. This can be considered both a weakness and a strength because he is not capable of accessing his swords, therefore being almost useless in any sort of fight.

 STRENGTHS The strength from above mentioned weakness toward children is that Hunter's desire of not dealing with his curse is relieved for the time being. Seeing as how Hunter cannot constantly surround himself with children unaffected by sin, he eventually has to deal with his power once more. While Hunter's over confidence is a fault, it can also be considered good since Hunter is quite skilled at fighting. The idea that no one can beat him helps further his drive to practice more. As mentioned before, Hunter is a very attractive male - and with that he is naturally charming. He has quite a way with the ladies.

 HISTORY Hunter was born to a wizard and his familiar who happened to be a female demon. This was no considered unusual during the time, but it surprised both his mother and his father when it was revealed to them that he would be a guardian to a small box that his father kept in the attic. This of course made his father re look the box after his son's birth, finding that the box indeed had quite a bit of power in it. After this, Hunter's father was respectful of his sons given path and when he was able too he explained to the young boy what it meant to be a guardian. After this, Hunter had a peaceful childhood and grew up with magic. This lasted until Hunter was thirteen. upon during that time Hunter made a grave mistake.

Curiosity got the better of the young boy and upon having to guard this small box for his life, he instead opened it and looked inside. Inside this box was his mother and father's pride along with a very tiny demon that stayed with that pride in the box. Upon the extremity of their pride being returned to them, both his parents grew angry and a sudden hole found it's way into Hunter's being. His parents had forgotten this box before when they had first given it to them, but now they refused to be embarrassed by the fact and instead blamed him for his mistake. His father who was much kinder than the mother, could not find it within himself to punish their son - but instead his mother was easily influenced by the small demon that had been sealed away with their pride. From this she allowed the demon to curse Hunter, making it so that he would be an object to gather pride and decide who was worthy of it and who was not.

This curse would only be lifted upon becoming the full potential of himself once more as Guardian. If unable to do this though, Hunter is to continue living out his days feeding off of pride. After this incident with his parents, Hunter left and started to figure out how to live on his own and manage the curse on his own. His father would try to help him along the way without his mothers knowledge - but for the most part Hunter thrived on his own.

It was upon turning eighteen that Hunter heard about Foresta. The knowledge that mythical beings and potentially mythical artifacts were at the school was quite enough to attract Hunter to attend. The young man hopes to find the one thing or being that he will be able to guard for the rest of his existence.
