Name: Zyxzz'Kziyx; Zyx
Age: 42
Race: Half-Demon
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Violet
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 143lbs
Occupation: Mercenary
Personality:
If one were to ask Zyx if he was good or evil, he would probably answer-with confidence-that he is a very evil demon. However, if one were to study Zyx's actions, they'd find that his actions don't necessarily follow his words. Zyx is as eager to save a person's life as he would be to end it. Thus, Zyx is certainly not a good person, but he's not exactly evil either. He'll take a job from someone looking for a kind soul, or someone hoping to find a cold-blooded killer. But, regardless of whether he's good or evil, no one can argue that Zyx has a cunning mind, and with his sharp wit he can pull himself through a tight spot where his blades might just fail. Zyx is sly however, and will often attempt to manipulate situations in order get the most out of whatever work he's taken up. Speaking of work, Zyx takes pride in what he does and refuses to take up any job he finds unworthy of his talents, though for the right price he'll do almost anything.
Appearance:
Most of Zyx's features are human--much to his chagrin. He boasts a lot of strength, and it's shown in his well-built body. His most distinguishing feature that sets him apart from other humans would be his violet colored eyes and pearly-white fangs. His hair is jet black hair is spiked up, leaning slightly towards his right, and he lacks facial hair. His skin is tanned from many days adventuring under the sunlight. Zyx's outfit changes daily of course, but he usually dresses in dark colors, and is almost never without his black coat, and oftentimes its hood is up over his head, as he prefers keeping his identity safe from those who may not find his actions particularly lawful. Around his neck a silver locket hangs from a short chain that holds a picture of his mother, the only clue he has of what she looks like. It was a gift from her before she gave him away, and he treasures it, hoping that one day he can find her again and finally get his revenge.
History:
Zyx is a half-demon, that is, the offspring between man and demon. However, Zyx, it seemed, took far too much after his human mother. Though his father was a powerful demon, for whatever reason Zyx inherited almost none of that demonic power, but perhaps there was just enough demon in him to earn his mother's disapproval.
One year after his parents wed, Zyx was born. For whatever reason, his father refused to continue living in he human world, and retreated back into Hell. However, only months after Zyx's birth, his mother could not bear the shame of raising a demon child. She pleaded for her husband to take care of the child. The Hells opened up and she held the tiny half-demon child over the pits of Hell. She slipped a silver locket around his neck and dropped him down inside the burning pits. Before she could know the fate of her child, she ran from the Hells, afraid of knowing her sons fate.
Unbeknown to Zyx's mother, his father was kind enough to take his half-demon child with him to his home in Hell. Zyx found that he did not exactly fit into Hell, though. His father assured him it was not due to his heritage, as demons were not so shallow. But whatever the reason was why Zyx was so alienated in Hell, Zyx was never told. He lacked any demonic powers it seemed, so Zyx was to learn how to wield the sword. However, after a while, the lessons stopped, Zyx wondered why, but never learned until he overheard a conversation between his father and the blade master. Finally he learned why he was so alienated from everyone else. According to the blade master, he was too weak, and what's worse? His father completely agreed.
That brief conversation he overheard set him in a depression for a great many years in Hell. It was during this time that he met Kmoidryrk . The tiny imp was one of the few creatures in Hell Zyx could defeat, but instead of cursing Zyx and fleeing, the young imp was intrigued by a half-demon, and tagged along with Zyx. The companionship with Kmoidryrk would get Zyx through his depression. However, one event would be the catalyst that would change Zyx's life forever, for better or worse, he could never decide.
One day, his father returned to his hellish abode, his second wife in tow, and standing amongst their feet, Zyx's younger half-sister, Azra. Azra was quite different from Zyx, in that she controlled vast amounts of power, where Zyx had almost none. The two had numerous fights, as most siblings do, but Zyx would never come out the victor. Instead he would usually come out a bloody mess, lucky if his bones were still intact. There was one particular fight that would be marked as the turning point of Zyx's life, however. It began as any other, Zyx was minding his own business, and Azra found it necessary to antagonize him; soon enough the fight began. In this fight however, Zyx managed to land a hit, and a powerful one. As he lunged, his blade stretched forwards at his half-sister, a sudden surge of electricity ran across the blade, and the sword flew true, straight through her gut. The tiny demon shrieked in agony, drawing the attention of her mother and step-father. her mother, enraged at Zyx, she demanded it be banished from Hell and left to die in the human world. His father, already ashamed of his weak son and not wanting to upset his powerful demon wife, he complied with her wishes, and Zyx was cast away from hell, up into the realm of man.
The young Zyx, though a fully grown man in mans years, was able to survive with his blades and wits. He was surprised when he found that his little imp friend Kmoidryrk followed from Hell, and the two of them began working as mercenaries to get by. But Zyx could not be satisfied with just getting by, he needed meaning. The silver locket around his neck gave him that meaning, his mother had cast him out of her care and down into hell where he would be ridiculed for being weak. Were it not for her he would of lived these 40 or so years in a comforting, safe environment along with his mother's love and care. But she was shallow and made Zyx's life hell. She was foolish as well, for she had given him a clue as to who she was.
His meaning was clear, Zyx would have his revenge. His mother would die, and his sister, her mother, and, even though he raised him since he was a baby, he would kill his father as well. But he would need to become more powerful if he were to do such a thing, and from that point on, Zyx lusted over power, he would do whatever he must to gain it, and eventually, his family would fall at his blades.
Skills:
Swordsmanship: Zyx keeps his skill with the blades top-notch, as he often finds that they keep him alive in his line of work. All the training he has gone through has made him what one might call, an above average swordsman.
Electricity Manipulation: One of the few traits that Zyx gained from his demonic heritage. He can channel electricity throughout his body, often sending it to the fingertips of his gloves or along the length of his blades. While he can send a bolt of electricity towards an enemy from afar, he finds that it's much more effective to simply send a jolt to his enemy through direct contact, the sudden shock is usually enough to cause an enemy to drop their guard for a brief moment.
Footwork: Zyx much prefers the comfort of street clothes over the heavy burden of armor, so he relies on his ability to nimbly dodge out of the way of attacks to keep him alive, rather than a suit of iron.
Equipment:
Zyx wield two iron rapiers that hang from his belt, he does not keep them inside sheathes as a symbol of his ferocity.

Zyx owns a pair of black gloves outfitted with metal on the fingertips. This helps with channeling electricity.
Familiars:
Kmoidryrk: A fiendish little imp Zyx kept as a pet during his childhood in Hell. It's name, Kmoidryrk, means 'plaything' in the language of the demons. When Zyx was banished from Hell he took Kmoidryrk with him. Kmoidryrk's tiny, two feet tall body is completely black, like a shadow. The only features of Kmoidryrk that isn't pitch black are his orange-red eyes that glow like fire inside his skull. He is quite the mischievous little pet, and seemingly enjoys disturbing others and getting into dangerous situations, which often leads Zyx into trouble as well, something neither of them seem to mind, as where there's trouble, there's often excitement as well.
