Name: Caliburn, the Hellslayer
Age: Stopped aging at 28, is roughly 600 years old by this point
b]Birthday:[/b] February 6th, 1372 A.D.
Gender: Male
Species: Hellishly Modified Human
Career: Demonslayer, full-time
Appearance Description:
Caliburn spends almost all of his time inside his armor as since things like hygiene are no longer a problem. This is mainly due to his prolonged exposure to demonic energy permeating through Hell. Beneath his armor, his skin has been charred and covered in ash from hellfire and there are cracks in some places on his body where demonic flames seep out. These flames can even be seen on the outside of the armor. Indeed it would seem the only thing keeping him together is demonic energy itself.
Personality Description: Caliburn hates all things demonic and unholy to the point that he will never co-operate with anything related to demons unless it helps him kill more demons. His hatred for all demonkind is so great that he will go out of his way to great lengths to kill one or destroy a demonic artifact, even if doing so would be detrimental to allies or possibly himself. Beyond his hatred for demons, Caliburn is a very simple man of few words. He is not one for charisma and will often keep conversations quick and to the point, hardly ever dancing around a subject, telling it how it is. Despite his rough exterior, he does have soft spots for some of the little things in life. Such things include modern toy dolls, guns, and rabbits. He even used to have a pet rabbit named Daisy.....it's another reason he hates demons.
Powers:
Sin-Stoker: Caliburn possesses a sword known as Sin-Stoker, named after the honorific title of the demon that has possessed it. The sword's blade consists of the sharpened edges spiraling around the center, giving the sword three cutting edges instead of one or two. The sword has a number of features that help him in his effort to rid the world of demonkind.
Species Abilities:
Biography: Caliburn came from a land that had been dragged into Hell when an unholy contract was made. H e grew up to become a protector of these lands from demonic incursions and for many years this land had managed to fight off the taint of Hell. Eventually, Caliburn rose through the ranks of his knightly order and came to lead the charge against many incursions. But at one point, greed caused one of the nights to betray the land. Demons managed to corrupt the land and destroy or corrupt it's inhabitants as well, Caliburn was soon the only survivor. In a rage he charged into demonic forces, slashing and stabbing away at every demon he encountered. He fought for what seemed like an eternity. As time went on he felt as though he became stronger and faster than he ever was before. He found he was gradually requiring less and less food and sleep, until eventually he stopped for nothing, continuing the slaughter day in and day out. As the years went by he at times would one way or another randomly find himself on earth, the world his people spoke of in their history. He would catch brief glimpses of the world changing every few years, in time spent on earth he found new things to love like guns and chainsaws. Now he reveals himself again to see how the world has changed since he last visited, stepping out of a portal from hell to find himself on the island populated by all manner of strange beings....including more demons!
Additional Information: Mentioning the name Daisy around him is considered an excellent way to shorten your lifespan. The last time he visited Earth was back in 1984. Gifting him with a gun is a good way to bribe him.

Powers:
Sin-Stoker: Caliburn possesses a sword known as Sin-Stoker, named after the honorific title of the demon that has possessed it. The sword's blade consists of the sharpened edges spiraling around the center, giving the sword three cutting edges instead of one or two. The sword has a number of features that help him in his effort to rid the world of demonkind.
- Sin-Stoker is capable of warping it's shape into any bladed melee weapon, whether it be a scimitar or cutlass, spear or axe, knife or rapier. Allowing for many different combat styles to be used.
- The blade constantly burns red hot along it's length, while also cauterizing wounds the burning pain from being hit cannot be ignored.
- The blade is possessed by a demon of the same name. It came to be like this when the demon attempted to halt one of Caliburn's rampages through hell by possessing his sword and trying to manipulate Caliburn into increasingly dangerous situations until he was killed. Eventually Caliburn was indeed killed when he accidentally fell into a lake of lava. However, enough time had passed that the hellish energy around him had made the weapon a part of him. When Caliburn dies, he is banished within the sword similar to how the demon had possessed it. With Caliburn now in the presence of the demon, and now fully aware of the blade's properties, he proceeded to beat the demon senseless before forcing it to manipulate someone else to use the blade. Now whenever Caliburn dies, his soul is trapped within the sword until someone else picks up the sword and uses it to kill something. Upon the sword killing a foe, the foe will promptly reanimate and hold up the sword towards the sky. A red lightning bolt will strike it, exploding the subject and leaving Caliburn in it's place. This effectively makes Caliburn unkillable, although there is no telling how long it will take for such parameters to be met. Indeed, it could potentially take years or decades for such a thing to be fulfilled, especially if the foe that killed Caliburn does not use the sword and leaves it in an isolated location as has happened before. Theoretically, if one were to destroy the sword, this would prevent him from reviving and allow him to be killed, but it is unclear how to do so.
- Runes of Haste are scribbled on the legs and boots, allowing him to move and react twice as fast as a normal human. He can run up to 27 mph and is able to react quickly enough to dodge projectiles other than shotgun pellets or machinegun fire that doesn't travel instantly.
- Runes of Strength are cut into the arms that grant him enough strength to punch out hearts, crack open skulls and tear off horns. This means he can exert, in technical terms 190 pounds of force in his strikes.
- Runes of Vitality are carved onto the chest plates and provide Caliburn with all the sustenance he needs, he does not need to eat, drink, or sleep and prevents him from tiring so long as he keeps killing demons. They have the added effect of taking a small portion of a slain demon's life span and adding it to Caliburn's instead. While he may not technically be immortal, after over 600 years of near non-stop demon slaying, he will be around for a while indeed. (This only prevents natural death by aging.)
Species Abilities:
- After over 600 years spent in the depths of Hell, Caliburn has seen much that the world of the damned has to offer and as such, is jaded to many of the tactics and tricks that demons usually employ to manipulate or mentally scar. Indeed, any attempt for a demon to scare him is likely to only result in making Caliburn kill it more brutally for the creatures arrogance.
- Caliburn's bloody rampages through Hell's dominions for the past 600 years have made his name known far and wide amongst the demonic populous. Any character of demonic origin is very likely to know of him and can easily identify him to varying degrees. Those on a different plane or version of Hell know of him from myths and legends, as a mortal who managed to consistently fight and win against demons in many brutal ways, commonly thinking how glad they are that he doesn't actually exist or if he does that he must be long dead by now. Those originating from the same plane where his rampages took place regard him in fearful tales and rumors of his exploits as a distant boogeyman, some wondering if they will ever see him, and others still hoping they never do. At last, those who come from the same region, or from another region he has visited, know him to be a very real threat who has lead to the violent end of many a demon. In all cases he is known by his full name to demons, Caliburn the Hellslayer.
- Beyond the powers granted to him by his sword and his runes, Caliburn is otherwise a normal human in terms of durability.
