Archer Steel

Primary Archer Steel

Name: Archer Steel
Age: 26
Birthday: September 8
Species: Sloth Demon
Category: Citizen
Gender: Male
Career: Self Defense Teacher

Appearance Description: He’s a tall young man who’s surprisingly fit given his sin. In terms of fashion Archer prefers comfort over anything else meaning you may see him in some rather unflattering clothes at times. He almost always has something oh his head to cover up the mess of hair that’s on his head, and his underwhelming horns. It’s actually somewhat pleasing to the touch but being petted like an animal is a bother. Unless he’s dressed truly outrageously his only truly distinct feature is the bored expression that’s plastered on his face.



His demon form in stark contrast is around eight feet tall freakin monstrous. He is capable of bipedal and quadrupedal movement. He kind of looks like his dad but very bestial with cloven hooves and a long thick tail. His horns are much more pronounced however and he has wings allowing him flight.



Personality Description: He’s very laid back and very forgetful. But forgetful in the sense that he just can't be bothered to give a crap about much. Archer’s not one to sweat the small stuff, or anything really for that matter. He prefers to call himself a functional lazy person, meaning he slacks off when he can afford to do so. His favorite things include naps, mangos, and martial arts. Television and movies would be listed if that weren’t already a distinctive trait among demons of his class. He has a list of things he would do if he felt like it. But most things are just kind of a bother. He somehow managed to learn martial and magical arts, the ultimate bother.

Active Abilities:
The Best Offense:
Archer’s main power in his human form is generating magic barriers and walls. It may not sound all that offensive or aggressive but he’s a lazy demon and it has its offensive uses. A standard barrier can stop a bullet from a small caliber round before shattering while a strong shield can stop a tank cannon. Typically he shapes them into walls but he can make a cube and seal himself within that. He’s able to generate multiple shields at various strengths but stronger shields take a greater deal of concentration. As stated before, Archer can use this power offensively. He’ll wrap the barriers around his hands and feet, making them effective brass knuckles, arm guards, and greaves.

Best Defense Mk II: Thanks to the barrier that’s woven into his skin, Archer only takes half of the damage he normally would from blunt force attacks. The other half of this energy is Stored up, and released on the next action he takes such as a punch, or kick. This power does not stop blades, bullets, and other sharp piercing attacks. Holy weapons will also harm him as if he had nothing at all.

Shifting: Archer can shift between a mostly human form into a large hulking beast. He is unable to partial shift… too much work


Passive Abilities:
Well Rested:
Unlike many demons, Archer’s healing isn’t actually accelerated past normal human limits when he’s conscious. Archer can fully regenerate if he is severely injured via sleep. If left undisturbed for a full 48 hours Archer can recover lost limbs, and damaged organs. When he’s in this state he cannot activate his barriers, similarly the barrier woven in his skin is also completely inactive. Should he sleep without any injuries, he can stay awake in proportion to the amount of time he’s been asleep. If he’s asleep for 2 days, he can stay awake for a full forty eight hours.

Keeps on Tickin’: Archer possesses a remarkably high pain tolerance even without any sort of barriers. Again, it’s worth noting that while conscious his healing is at the same rate of a human. He still suffers the effects of things such as blood loss should he actually be injured. That being said, he can endure and function through pain that would be considered agonizing for the average person.

Too Much Effort: Archer can feel effects of mind altering effects of powers such as auras and mind control. However, due to his nature as a sloth demon he’s simply not inclined to listen. In short he's too lazy to be controlled.

Physique: Archer sports stubby horns and a stubby tail in his human form. His demon form sports much larger more pronounced horns, tail claws, and hooved feet.. He’s able to lift a ton in his human form, this effectively doubles to two when in his demon form. His reaction time is sharp enough to dodge a bullet, and he can move at speeds up to 70 mph in short bursts. His sense of sight is on par with a human’s however his hearing and smelling are on par with a wolf’s. Notably he’s able to smell out other hellions from his hell.

Immortality: Archer has effectively stopped aging, and generally immune to Earthly sicknesses. In the event Archer is killed, it will take him an entire month to respawn, unlike many Hellions.

Weaknesses: Archer, being a demon is effected by holy objects. Weapons and the like effect him as if he were a normal. Holy water burns like acid, and general exposure to holy icons by a believer gives him general anxiety. Archer heals at a normal human rate while conscious.

Resources: Archer is a self defense teacher at a local gym. Oh top of this he has a small fortune thanks to being one of Belphegor's more favored children. Archer lives in a small one bedroom apartment.

Biography: Archer’s history isn’t really anything exciting. Well by his standards, maybe it’s got something to do with his status as one of Belphegor’s children. This young demon was the result of a torrid love affair with a fairly ambitious succubus looking to secure a place of relatively high standing. The affair resulted in her pregnancy and birth of Archer. Upon hearing word of the birth and lacking a damn to give, Belphegor waved the child off with a simple, “Oh boy, put it with the rest.”
Archer grew up in fairly relative comfort. He was definitely his father’s son, wanting power but just too unmotivated to seek it out. It was while he was out wandering that he was discovered by a demon mage who forcibly trained him in the passive aggressive arts of barrier magic as well as hand to hand combat.
After more or less completing or at least becoming competent in these arts he found himself growing bored of hell’s happenings. Upon hearing that several of his siblings had headed on up to Earth. I mean It’s kind of a pain but family’s family.
