Spade

[Rikoche]

Name: Spade (Allister Damucon, his former name)

Age: 200

Race: Half Demon

Physical Description: 6'1'', 224lbs in armor.
Wears a dark red, tattered hood that cloaks over a portion of his torso and back. He is clad in old, battle-worn plate armor, tarnished to a rusted hue of grey. His metal boots curl up to a point at the toes. Underneath the hood and armor, Spade bears a scruffy coat that bunches up around his neck, its sleeves belted off before his elbows. He had a pair of long, golden gauntlets with sharp, teeth-like fingers.

Under his hood, the man wears a white, porcelain mask with two black cracks under the eye holes. All that can be seen of his face are his demonic yellow eyes.

Personality:
Spade's twisted life gave him a likewise personality. He enjoys killing people, enjoys it so much that he'd do it all of the time. This doesn't make him necessarily evil; he's very shrewd. He kills those who have done him wrong, or if someone's hired him to do so.

His sense of honor keeps him from killing everyone in sight. He'll even bow before a slaughtering. Because of the way the world treated him, Spade only seeks justice on it by treating it as he was raised.

History:
His parents were an old couple, whose prays for a child came answered by a different source than what they hoped it to be. When he was born, a ring of fire surrounded their house, and a strange laughter filled the air. The couple suspected it was the child, and decided to kill their bastard son.

A run down orphanage happened upon Allister struggling to fight the current in a river. One of the sisters managed to reach out and grasp the child's cold hand in hers, and pull him to safety. They took him back to the orphanage to raise him. The nuns suspected that the boy's parents tried to drown the poor kid.

When the boy was 6, a trait arose from the boy that off put the others; his usually dark, brown eyes turned piercing yellow. Though this concerned the sisters, they decided it was just a rare gift from the Gods.

When he reached his teens, Allister's teeth became sharp, and sometimes had violent outbursts. This was too much for the orphanage, and they sent him away to train for the military.

Allister quickly went up the ranks as a supreme soldier, able to lead sure victories against raiders and pirates. One day, this all ended. When he was in his late twenties, Allister saw an ally of his giving someone of enemy colors a roll of parchment in exchange for some money.

Allister persecuted the man, calling him a traitor and challenging his loyalty. The man spat at Allister's distrust in him, and agreed to a fight. During the fight, Allister killed the man with just his two fists.

He was discharged from the army, and shortly after, was sentenced to death for the murder of an ally. To escape death, Allister found church that guaranteed him safety. He would later learn that the church was a cult.

Once proving himself as a worth subject (after killing 5 cult members in mortal combat), he was given his own unique mask. Each of said masks were unique to the wearer, in shape and color, and each had a burden on them. When the mask is put on, the user's actions are greatly enhanced, but if ever removed (only by powerful magical means) the bearer will die.

His new power corrupted Allister's mind, eventually coming up with a new persona named Spade. Over time, Spade ranked up through the cult until he became leader. Spade decided to spread his cult over the world, which led to many deaths, but many new allies. The members didn't enjoy this very much, and tried to revolt against the man. Even though everyone was against him, Spade managed to kill anyone he thought traitorous. Soon, he single handedly wiped out the whole cult, with himself as it's sole member.

He now travels the land, searching for ways to reform an army to punish the world that has punished him so.

Weapons: Spade uses his two golden gauntlets as his primary weapons, using their sharp edges for stabbing/slicing. The gauntlets are strong enough to stay unscathed from a sharp blade, as he can catch a sword with only one of them.

Spade uses a skilled hand-to-hand fighting style, able to skillfully dodge and return strikes from his enemies. His attacks are quick and deadly thanks to his tough and sharp armor.

Underneath his short cloak and on his waist, Spade keeps rows of thin, sharp throwing knives. He's able to swiftly whip a couple of them at the opponent before they can see what has happened.

Powers: One of the special powers he learned at the cult were the Death Fire Spells. This fire was sort of a negative flame. As a regular fire would expel heat, enough to burn, this black fire absorbs heat, which could end up killing the foe by chilling it. He's able to launch a small, spiraling spear of it from his fingertips, or in a large wave around him. He also uses this as a diversion for any escapes he may need to take. Spade can use spells with regular fire too, but his are not as powerful as the Death Fire, and he usually only uses it to fuel the Death Fire.

He is part demon, as one spawned him inside of his mother when she prayed for a child. This makes him stronger than most humans. His cult mask further increases his strength, agility, endurance, and magical abilities.
