Costume Description/Image:

Spoiler:

Exactly like this, but more muscular, with hispanic tones of skin.

Personality: Cold and distant, Slayer rarely shows any emotion except annoyance or determination. Due to his condition, he must keep an iron hold on his anger at all times, which subsequently has made him single-minded and reserved. However, contrary to what most people believe, he is not socio or psychopathic; he does have feelings, but he essentially pounds them into submission with raw willpower in order to contain his fury.

History: The Slayer awoke one day in a giant test tube. He was floating in a strange green liquid with wires attached to his skin and a gas mask attached to his face, which allowed him to breathe. In a matter of days, he found out that he was 10 years old and that apparently the scientists who were studying him could preform "tests" on him now that he was conscious. Slayer soon found out exactly what these tests were, at least to him: pure torture. Chemicals that caused him extreme pain were injected into him, he was forced to run for many hours at a time, and strange probes were put into his blood, creating great ache in his body for days each time. However, Helio began grasping the strange concepts behind what they were doing. They had preformed "genetic manipulation" and were now testing him using the needles and running to see if it worked. Although they found it had worked, they didn't know to what extent, or why it was so successful on this subject. They reasoned it had something to do with his "other gene", which seemed to enhance him more than the other subjects. Most of this Helio did not understand, but some he did. They had changed him. Without his permission. And he found that he didn't like that one bit.

So one day, his anger mixing with the pain of a chemical test, he hit the scientist that was injecting him. The surprised fellow flew across the room and made a load snap as he hit the wall. The others came rushing, but kept their distance. They had never anticipated Slayer fighting back. With the element of surprise on his side, he continued breaking various equipment (which seemed much easier than he thought it would be), and hit any poor fool who got too close, knocking them aside like they were little rag dolls. His anger, rather than diminishing from the violence, continued to rise. Eventually, things seemed to "shimmer" around him, and the things around him burst into flame or melted. Finally, he reached a peak of fury, and as he yelled to the heavens, his body was wreathed in blue flames, and exploded outward. He blacked out.

The Slayer woke a day later, his naked body lying in burnt grass while a foot from him the ground was covered in snow. Drudgedly, he got up and gathered his bearings. It had been one year since he had "woken up" in the laboratory, he had went on a rampage....and then a blank. He had no recollection of how he had gotten here, where he was, and why there was a pile of slightly burnt papers next to him. He decided to read a sign that stood next to him. "Welcome to Canada?" he said aloud. He had never heard of such a place. Looking at the papers on the ground, he decided that perhaps they could give him some valuable information. He read them, and discovered that he had a mother. However, this company (who's name was unfortunately burned from the paper) had taken him from her once he was born, and killed her. As for his father, it provided no information. His name however, he learned, was Helio Benestante.

After his discoveries, he went south if the sign, and wandered across the land. Eventually, he came to the city known as Detroit, where he hoped someone could show him exactly who and what he was. Instead, he found only hardship and pain on the streets, living off scraps with no real home. Worse though, was the fury that constantly threatened to boil over. The same anger that had caused his initial breakout of the facility was seething beneath his skin, ready to tear through him and wreak havok. Fighting the rage took all his will and left him exhausted - and each day, it threatened to overpower him.

One day, while eating stolen food and taking deep breathes to attempt to assuage his fury, a strange man appeared in front of Helio. Standing at least eight feet tall, wearing a wide-brimed fedora and long black coat, the man was incredibly gaunt and had unnaturally bright red eyes. He did not speak, did not make any motion towards Helio; He merely gave a devious smile and extended his hand. Something possessed him to take the hand, despite his suspisions.

And so Helio disappeared, and The Slayer was born.

For 5 years, Slayer was off in some other place that he refuses to speak of - and thankfully, few people knew him at the time, and so no one asks. While this is a mystery, what happened to him is not. Helio's average, lean build was entirely transformed into a muscular, well built warrior; his constant struggle with his fury is no longer a battle against it, but of directing it, and he possesses a drive that intimdates those who can withstand his physical presence. Most importantly, Slayer has been trained for his namesake; he has incredible skill with both his hands and with blades that many compare to a gladiator.

Few know of his past; from escaping a top secret facility to living as a nobody on the streets, no official records acknowledge his existance. Even fewer know of his current motivations, as he seems to commit odd crimes or battle certain villainous groups, but none are apparently connected. What is certain? Whatever he is trying to achieve, he has no patience for those that stand in his way.

Powers: Due to the experimentation that was done on him, Helio holds a being of elemental fury and fire within his soul, which he must keep under control at all times, lest he be overcome by it. This elemental power has also given him immense strength, durability, and stamina that far surpasses a normal human.

Character Image/Description: Same as costume

Roleplay Sample: (This is Nick. Hai.)

His gladus power will go through his INT, not his strength. Strength relates to straight physical attributes likes punches and kicks, and also to punching daggers and things like that.

You already have three other accounts, this character would put you above the max allowed. I'm going to have to deny this.
