Anglekos

True Identity: The name given to him at birth was Elric Anglekos, although it has been some time since he has used it. Even those whom he trusts only seem to know him and call him by his surname, Anglekos, resulting in his first name falling into the depths of his memories.
Heroic Identity: Anglekos never truly made an active choice to protect anyone, but his actions upon coming to this reality have labeled him as a "hero", or at the very least, a vigilante. Due to his choices, he has been forced to take up an alternate identity; "Mistletien" (Godslayer), or "Mist" for short. Whilst normal humans and other beings from the realm would be unable to distinguish between the two, vampires (or phagelings, as he calls them) from his own dimension already know him as the Mistletien and, thus, he can distinguish between those of his realm and those of THIS dimension - giving him leads on how to return to his own.
Other Titles: Anglekos is also known as "Mistletien" by humans of his own dimension, due to his actions there, and vampires often call him "a freak of nature" or just simply "freak". Otherwise, he has no titles to speak of...yet.
Alignment: Lawful neutral. He has witnessed, firsthand, the destruction unorganized chaos can bring, and whilst he despises phagelings and vampirism in general, he could not help but admit that their system but which they operated over humanity was effective. He views laws, including the natural ones by which reality operates, one of the few true constants in life; and thus a need for justice. As a mantra he oft repeats, "Justice without a great cause begets nothing more than slaughter. However, that same slaughter in the name of a great cause is justice."
Age: Despite all of his experiences, Anglekos is merely twenty-one years old; barely able to drink in the United States. Of course, most of those twenty-one years have been filled with the agony of slaughter and vengeance, of destruction and oppression, so he is far more mature than his youth would normally yield. He does not know if he is immortal or not, but as far as he can tell he's aged normally; to this point, at the very least.
Gender: Obviously male.
Race: Although he professes to be "only human", Anglekos is truly the last of the Firstborns; a race that is said to have preceded both humans and vampires. Just as vampires take strength from death and the dark arts of the arcane, the Firstborn take strength from life and the powers of natural law, using that primal energy to fuel their incredible physical abilities.
Just like vampires, Firstborn appear human on the outside, only changing in appearance once they choose to or outside influences force them to do so.
Personality: On the outside, Anglekos is a cruel, cold, and callous individual, preferring the solitude of professionalism to the open risk of betrayal by so-called "friends". He has no problem with the ideal of killing, and most often those whom end up as his opponents lose their lives; after all, he'd rather kill a murderer than let that man live on to kill another day. Brutality and honesty are his weapons with words, and years of having those closest to him die have taught him that the heart is perhaps the most vulnerable body part in the body; thus, for an individual to grow close to him, even learn of his name, is an extraordinary feat. While he generally keeps his temper cooled and tempered like a fine blade, his unending hatred for vampires and their undead kin invoke his rage far easier than a normal individual could, to the point that he would commit murder in public to end them.
Hair: The color is a deep, deep ebony; nearly indistinguishable from the darkness of the sky at night. Generally, he keeps his hair medium-length, the tips reaching down past his shoulders, and while it is unkempt it gives him a youthful, more roguish look than anything else.
Eyes: Anglekos's eyes are one of his more striking features, being a clear, crystalline blue that almost seems to glow in dim light. Others have noted that this glow depends on his mood, being more subtle when he calm and more noticeable as his emotions reach their peaks. Another strange feature they seemed to have picked up is that, while they are fully capable of such, his eyes never seem to involuntarily blink, giving him an almost menacing stare that is capable of intimidating or enraging others not used to such a thing.
Height/Weight: He stands at an average 6' exactly, and despite the fact he weighs in at an exact 200 pounds the density of his body structure defies this weight.

General Appearance
Generally, Anglekos wears professional-looking clothing as a standard, ranging from black tuxedos that make him appear to be a hitman or businessman or, at the very least, clean long-sleeved and plain black shirts with jeans. After wearing little more than rags for so long, he appreciates the finer things in life as a human, especially now that he can afford such, and very, very rarely does he wear more casual clothing ever.

When he switches to his identity as Mistletien, Anglekos also reverts to his natural Firstborn form, his normally flawless caucasian skin turning an absolute black as dark as the very hair atop his head. In this form, his eyes become without pupils and glow azure, his canines extend and sharpen ever so subtly, and his fingernails and toenails extend slightly and sharpen as well. However, his height and weight do not change, nor does his body structure. Alongside this change, Anglekos also switches out his more professional attire and adorns a thick cloak about himself that is a dark crimson and covers nearly every inch of his body, wearing naught but a single pair of loose pants underneath and fingerless gloves that reach up along his forearms. Also, he wears a Phantom of the Opera-esque' mask upon his visage, although it is more for personal aesthetics rather than to hide his identity. The physical change from his human form to his Firstborn form takes about roughly thirty seconds to complete, and any damage he has gathered from one form is carried over to the next, as it is essentially the same body. There are no changes in abilities between forms.

Strength: 6
As a Firstborn, Anglekos's sheer physical strength reaches ridiculous peaks; his entire life (up to the point of coming to this realm), there is nothing he has found that he cannot move, lift, or destroy with his bare hands. At this point, with his current physical abilities, he can lift up to sixty tons with relative ease, and up to ninety tons with extreme difficulty. Equally, he can exert a similar amount of kinetic force in whatever martial form he chooses, be it simply moving one object from one place to another, throwing said object as a projectile, or exerting it from any point of his body to an individual/object/etc. In addition, as a Firstborn he is so tuned-in to the forces of potential and kinetic energy that his body cannot be harmed by his own kinetic force; in essence, if an opponent somehow manages to to reverse Anglekos's kinetic unto himself, it will do no harm to him, but rather he will absorb the kinetic force into his body, returning it to whence it originally came from. This factor does not apply, however, to other kinetic forces.

Speed: 4
While his abilities are, truly, still immature, he remains far beyond the scope of mere men, even in terms of perhaps the weakest of his physical abilities; his speed. At this point, he is able to reach a max running speed of seventy miles per hour, and also able to insert that speed, like his strength, into every fiber of his body; meaning that, if he so chose, he could also move a single limb (or two, or three...) at that speed.

Endurance: 6
Through years of fighting supernatural beings who can literally tear through walls and taking their blows upon himself, his already supernatural durability has increased dramatically, to the point where he is almost utterly invulnerable to small-arms and normal assault firearms; bullets impact his flesh, but don't penetrate nor seem to do any real bodily harm to him. It takes a armor-piercing rounds from a large-caliber firearm such as a tank or a heavy-duty sniper rifle to do any real damage to him. His skin, in both of his forms, is hard enough that normal blades cannot cut him open; it takes something of superhuman quality to even scratch him (for example, a blade that has a 5/7 sharpness, in comparison to the grid statistics). Alongside these already impressive statistics, he is able to withstand blows equivalent to the very kinetic force he is able to output, only being truly hurt by kinetic forces reaching sixty tons or higher and slightly stunned by thirty tons or higher; any lower, and he can deflect it with his mere passive potential force. He is also immune to all natural diseases currently known to man and, unknown to himself, his body hardly ages; while he is not immortal, his body has the capacity to live on long enough to make that single fact hardly matter.

Intelligence: 2
Unfortunately, those same amazing qualities that were applied to his body did not reach his mind, and while he has a pretty average I.Q. on his own, it's nothing spectacular. Having come from a world where humans were treated as little more than walking cattle, he was lucky enough to actually study how vampires lived in order to educate himself in their ways; after all, the predator must learn how the prey maneuvers. In this, he managed to gather enough knowledge to learn how to read & write and behave in society, in addition to what basic knowledge was taught to him by his parents before they were murdered. Still, he has a lot to learn, and while he has many exceptional qualities his intelligence certainly isn't one of them.

Energy Projection: 0
Unlike those Firstborn of the past, Anglekos lacks the ability to project any sort of supernatural energies from his body; the many amazing abilities that stories tell of Firstborn in the past emitting blazing bursts of dark lightning or teleporting from one place to the other don't seem to have caught up to him, and it doesn't seem like he will acquire them any time soon. Still, who knows; miracles happen every day.

Fighting Ability: 4
Sixteen years of constant fighting and hunting of vampires and their like have made Anglekos a lean killing machine. He has no real official knowledge of any particular martial art, but rather has learned through experience (and his own combat philosophies) more than just the basics of a single art; in fact, he is considered a master of a destructive art called Hakyoukuken, which teaches the user to utilize every muscle of their body to make their attacks with devastating power and speed, literally destroying the adversary from the inside. It also teaches the user to get in the first strike; after all, if there is no attacker, there is no need for defense. This gathered knowledge has given his reactions and perceptions superhuman capabilities, and while he may not be the deadliest thing that walks he is certainly deadly enough so that those he hunts fear him.

The world that he comes from is not this one, where humans have arisen to become the primary creatures of power on the planet, but rather an alternate/parallel universe where, rather than being on top, humanity is at the bottom of the food chain. Bram Stoker's "Dracula", in this world, was more than just a well-written fairy tale for English students to enjoy; it was a true story. One that did not have a happy ending for its author, and thus, the rest of the world. The being known as Vlad Dracula ensnared several world leaders via his vampiresses and other underlings, and soon the world began turning from the light of mankind to the darkness of vampirism. By the time 1950 rolled around, three-quarters of the world's population was no longer alive, and the remaining quarter population was now being herded into organized groups quite similar to Hitler's concentration camps. Humanity's time was over; now was the rise of the bloodhunters.
While quite a depressing amount simply accepted this change, seeking to become part of this new and beautiful, eternal society that had now gotten its claws on the world, others formed guerrilla-like resistant groups, seeking to one day return the light of day to prominence. Two members of one of these groups fell in love and, eventually, Anglekos was born to the world. Unknown to both of his parents, his mother carried one of the last surviving strands of Firstborn blood in her genes, and that carried onward to their child, whom, for the first five years of his life, remained blissfully unaware of that fact.
That all changed once the vampires made their first real aggressive move against the resistance, and in the course of a single night a total of three-hundred million people were slaughtered. Not for food, not to create further vampires; just sheer, unadulterated slaughter. His parents were slain right before his very eyes as a troupe of vampiric soldiers tore them open, laughing, and for the first real time in his life the boy named Elric Anglekos felt rage; pure, clean rage. That rage ran through his body, and the desire to destroy, to avenge, awoke almost instantly within him; along with those last remnants of Firstborn blood within him. Blazing, they cut a swathe through his body, and in the space of a single instant Anglekos was no longer human; he had become a full Firstborn through pure emotion. The vampires never stood a chance; with no subtlety or skill whatsoever, the five year-old Anglekos tore through them with brute force, taking their blows in stride, blinded by rage and pain. It was only when there was nothing left to hit that he stopped, crying, covered in bruises and pain. And as he stared at the fallen bodies of his parents, both mutilated beyond comprehension, the rest of his life began, and he decided what his purpose would be. And thus, would the boy become a man.
Sixteen years later, he was stronger, faster, tougher, and far more deadlier than ever before. Vampires all over the world knew of his existence, yet for all of their dark power they could not seem to kill him, this freak of nature. The remaining survivors of the human race (mainly the resistance) began to regard him as their savior, for it seemed only he could fight the vampires on their own terms. Still, for every hundred he slew, a thousand more seemed to spring up in their place, and a young and arrogant Anglekos made a decision that would change his life; he decided to attack the very heart of the vampire society directly, to assassinate the founding father of the entire damned race.
He underestimated Dracula, however, and soon the olden creature had set a trap onto the last Firstborn. For Dracula knew that, in a one-on-one duel with Anglekos, he would most likely lose. Thus, using old magic and the knowledge of sorcerers past, the ancient being banished the arrogant Anglekos to this version of Earth, planning on dealing with him using the modern technologies available. And thus, Elric roams the world, working at different jobs to help pay for housing and other common costs while simultaneously looking for a way back home while adjusting to this alternate Earth.

This looks to be in order good sir.

Like I said, I'm gonna go ahead and give the okay on the skin turning black too. It's not really a power since it doesn't disguise you or anything. If Pain decides other wise, you'll have to make a few edits. But consider yourself approved good sir. Have fun posting on SHRPG.

I'm going to agree with Sim. (: This application is parfait!

Approved by me, also.

If you've already got two thumbs up, I'll move this to Approved Renegades. Have fun RPing.
