CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

BACKGROUND:
The demon realm is a chaotic, incoherent mess of fiefdoms and tribes, with this being most true three hundred years ago. Cruel by nature and born with competitive spirits, these demons brutally dominated all that were weaker than them, and it did not get much weaker than Apollyus Abaddona. Never even having a taste of the power that drove the Onis mad, he instead began to hate all the twisted bastards above him, and with the help of some demon sorcerers, he managed to escape the demon realm...
...and end up in an earthly totalitarian kingdom. It should've been obvious-why would those sorcerers just do him a favor-but there was no turning back now, he hadn't the magic to do it yet.
On the surface, though, he found a new purpose; the earthlings were, on average, a whole lot weaker than him, so now he could actually fight his oppressors. Despite how lowly he used to think of humans, Apollyus found them amusing, and actually sorta helpful. Plus, unlike demons, humans had a capacity to be kind, which definitely didn't hurt.
Unfortunately, though, Apollyus would soon find that time is but a flat circle, as the regime eventually overpowered him. It certainly wasn't easy-who knew humans had such good understandings of ki?-but the demon fell, ascending to Otherworld while his earthling allies grieved. Beaten yet again by the forces at the top....
For three hundred years, the demon monitored the coming and going of the earth. He saw the acrosians exploit millions, oftentimes including themselves, to become an empire. He saw the Makaoishin's further corrode the demon realm, with it's denizens turning even more twisted. Worst of all, he saw that the vicious power struggles that plagued earthlings had only gotten worse....
Desperate, driven and slightly mad, Apollyus managed to sneak out of Otherworld and return to the land of the living. He'd come to the conclusion that the only way to save the earth-the demon realm-hell, the whole galaxy-was to topple these rulers. But he wouldn't rely on them being weak this time, oh no....
Apollyus promised to become stronger than they could ever imagine!

Light Offensive || Dagger GaleADDITIONAL NOTES: It would be nice if his starter form could be renamed to 'Rebellion' though if this is too specific I can get that-

Variants: Reflective, Shield
Heavy Offensive|| Dark as Death
A technique only used in the most desperate of situations!
