Name: Erebus (Meaning: Deep Shadow)
Gender: Male
Race: Wolf
Sub-Race: Demon
Breed: Druin/Demon mix; Technically full Druin
Pack: Giaku
Rank: Prince
Appearance~
Pelt: White scales cover his entire body, save for along his back, tail and his head which are covered in thick, long teal hair, more like a horse's mane than wolf's fur.
Wings: He takes after his mother in that he is wingless.
Eyes: An extremely dark blue like his father's
Markings: A strange spiral mark around his left eye, it begins under the corner and spirals around in a loop where it ends beside its beginning point. Around it are squiggles going outward as if a black sun upon his eye.
Height: About 8.3 ft
Weight: About 320 lb.
Build: Erebus has a generally large figure. He has a round head with rather large fluffy ears. He has a singular horn coming from his forehead similar to that of a unicorn's though it is black. Also, he has three horns in linear sequence along his back that bend toward his rump. He has a long, elegant neck though strong. Also, he has long, fluffy hair that billows over it on both sides. The hair is more like horse's main than wolf fluff. He has long legs and massive paws with extremely long sharp claws. He has two tails. Both tails are extremely long, and are fully scales, save for along the top where the same hair fluffs over it. Most of his body is covered in white scales save for his head, tail, neck and back. He actually has less fur than what it appears to be, its just extremely long and a bit fluffy. The only mark of black upon his face, save for his horn, is the strange mark about his left eye. Its shape is like that of a cave-drawn sun, but with a dark ring in its center below the eye. It seems to represent an eclipse and is perhaps the source of his ever growing power. Also, due to his strong pride, he prizes himself in his appearance and thus has quite a bit of jewelry.
Amulet: None; his power is somehow drawn from the mysterious mark around his eye
Personality: Erebus is perhaps the most closed of his siblings, at least as far as for expressing emotions and such. He has an extreme attraction toward mysterious things and the unknown. He loves pretending to be fearless in the face of danger. He's actually really prideful though he doesn't express it in words, more so in behavior at times. He tends to be the type to take risks for what he believes will ultimately end best for him. He's very adventurous and dominant-natured as a prince, and also holds a high sense of self-worth. He believes himself to be extremely attractive which comes out in his extreme love for his hair. He loves being in somewhat windy places where it can billow majestically about him.
He's not really power-hungry, but rather just wants to live life with little responsibilities or worries. Deep down he can be somewhat of a mushy fluffy teddy bear, although few know due to his pride and position as a Prince. He feels he is above revealing such things, even in thought. Nevertheless, Erebus is not the type to really judge anyone off the bat. He lets them prove themself as a fool or worthy of his respect in their own actions, words, and time. Others often see Erebus as arrogant and selfish, but in contrast, Erebus simply would rather remain silent and be a Druin of few words. Some see this as seeing himself too far above others to speak with them. In contrast, Erebus simply believes that most conversations are pointless and a waste of time and would rather remain silent than say things that are a waste of his breath. He does not kick others around for amusement unless they prove themselves to be a fool and easy to do so.
Other~
Magic(s): Darkness and Shadow
-Spells:
- Erebus is able to create a massive circle of darkness around him which can expand or shrink and is used as a shield. This circle will harm any being of light which touches it directly and will protect Erebus from a number of attacks. Because this circle can shrink or grow, he can also cause it to split into smaller circles for him to throw at opponents. Splitting them into smaller circles uses energy thus making him not use it that often.
- Erebus has the ability to summon creatures of darkness to do his bidding. He cannot, however, sustain them for very long, at most an hour or so and they are not extremely difficult to defeat. They can be intimidating, however, and can provide distraction enough for Erebus to escape, or to be amused as he watches his opponent battle them. Usually, to make it last longer, Erebus summons weaker creatures so that he can summon a greater amount and/or replacements for those that are defeated so as to create the illusion of a never-ending foe.
- Erebus is able to conceal himself in darkness as a cloak to mask his presence from opponents.
- Erebus can control the shadows of anything and anyone. By manipulating the shadows, he can make them grow in size or into shadow creatures to confuse or frighten anyone around him.
- Another ability with manipulating shadows is the ability to control someone or something else's shadow. For objects, he is thus able to move them. For inanimate objects, he can move them from one place to another. For plants and the like, he cannot uproot them, but he can cause their branches to waver or bend, even without wind blowing.
For creatures, it is a bit more difficult and requires a great amount of energy. If they are in flight or off the ground, it easier for Erebus to control their future movement and move them about for his intentions. If they are still, he can still do so, with more energy as they have a more firm footing on the ground and thus perhaps better concentration. This ability is also somewhat defined by his opponent's strength of will (not mind necessarily). At this point, once in control, Erebus can somewhat use the person's shadow to treat the other like a puppet. This can be broken by causing the shadow of the other to change dramatically or disappear.
Note: For this ability, powerplay rules still apply, therefore I may need to ask permission before carrying this out. This is the greatest of Erebus' abilities and thus requires the most energy and concentration. Once doing this, especially for a long period of time, Erebus must rest for a great period of time.
[/li][li]Erebus has the ability to summon weapons and other objects made of shadow to use at his disposal. These range from blades to chains. Most often, Erebus will summon these objects from the shadow of his opponent to use against them. For example, he could form chains of shadow from his opponent's shadow and thus restrain his opponent or hold him in the same position until the chains should be removed. Similarly, he could also summon blades which would pierce his opponent. This ability is difficult to detect, being as it comes from one's own shadow, yet can be thwarted by breaking Erebus' concentration.
[/li][li]The final of Erebus' abilities is the ability to sort of 'teleport' through the use of shadows. This is merely a way for Erebus to travel more swiftly and create surprise attacks, although this ability can often easily be foreseen. Erebus will 'melt' into any shadow and then rise from any other shadow within the area. The shadow must be in sight of Erebus before he accomplishes the action and thus if there are few things around to even make a shadow, this ability is greatly hindered.[/li][/ul]
Skills: Erebus is very strong while also having skills in agility and flexibility. He has a great amount of pride and confidence along with strong will which helps him overcome most obstacles.
Biography~

History: Born to Tartarus and Diabolic Erebus has lived a laid back life so far at least in his free time. He has mastered control of his spirits through many hours and days of training and practicing and is unconcerned with his future. Though he does not believe his destiny is to take the pack on his shoulders someday.
Erebus has traveled considerably in search of something to interest him since he tends to be curious. He has met a Colossus in the times of their threat to the land and in one of those travels he came upon the human world of Ebernum. There he ran into his half-brother Endymion and the woman with him, Moria. Their relationship is somewhat uncertain although he believes Moria to be a dangerous and deadly witch despite finding himself somewhat attracted to her though he does not know why. He believes she has simply drawn him to her under a spell, although that is not the truth. Also, in a raged state, Moria gave Erebus a human form which took a long time for her to change him back willingly. She found his antics about it amusing. Erebus prefers no one to know this and will avoid Moria as much as he can. He does not wish to have association with humans.
Erebus could often be found in Giaku pondering his thoughts or wandering the land in study and search of things he doesn't know. He is rather ambitious although he hasn't yet found his purpose. Erebus doesn't really have any friends or enemies except for those who hate him for being associated with his family whom he cares for deeply. Recently, after the assassination of his father and the crowning of his niece, Lacrimosa as Empress, Erebus took a great amount of time to be alone and ponder what he wanted to do from there. Having no thoughts of avenging anyone or anything, his only thoughts were about the Empress herself and her mother, Moria.
After extensive thinking, Erebus decided he would rather avoid Moria than be around her. Despite his curiosity about her and strange attraction, he would much rather not deal with her power, even if she can control it. Therefore, he decided it might be better to pursue a different life and discover what he can. He is not really an exhile of Giaku as one who has simply decided to travel elsewere. He thinks someday he might return, but he is not sure as of the current times.[/color][/size]
