That night At the Proud Purple Person's Pub.
Spectre is excitedly bouncing and giggling in front of a computer. He's waiting for something to download. He's wearing headphones.
Etna:*Lying in bed, trying to sleep* You're STILL watching that thing load on Steam?
Spectre:*Roars like a velociraptor with a look of soul-searing fury*
Etna:Okay, Okay! Sorry I asked!
Spectre:You wouldn't understand.
Etna:Why?
Spectre:..Because.
Etna:..
Spectre:Look, I have been waiting since the primordial soup for this game to be released. It's the second biggest event I've looked forward to, topped only by the second coming of Jesus.

Barbatos, Scryer and Xiraxi. ... I think I'll play as Scryer, but might as well check out the options for creating a character. *Clicks it*

Scryer:Read something in a blog at how the game creators put their OCs in. Something called "Canonblender". This is suppose to be the most interactive game ever made, a collaboration between Bioware, Deep Silver, and Lab Zero....This is gonna be incredible..
Spectre:Hrrrrm....This guy looks sick! *Selects Barbatos*

Announcer:BARBATOS!
"The scent of blood is in the air..."
Ambient musicPovegalia prison, Golden Island. Located approximately two-hundred miles away from New Meridian. This place is an ancient prison, holding many horrors within it's walls. Many of this age know it as a prison for extremely dangerous criminals with parasites, but in truth it's greatest purpose is for sealing the Abominations known as demons that have been gathered by the Trinitarian church during the Age of Darkness, to be held here forever..Or so they hoped.
A tall, broad-shouldered , long-limbed being is suspended over a fiery pit, wrapped in barbed chains. His head is encased in a metal mask, all the chains are connected to said mask.
??:..............................
A guard walks along, he's a hulking, blue-skinned brute standing around 8 feet tall. Most of his body is covered in a black, exectuioner style robe. He seems intoxicated.
Guard:*Sits down in front of Barbatos' enclosure*...Ugh...Damn it. Worst hangover ever, tight ass boss won't give "Sick Days".
??:....*Makes a squeaking noise*
A rat crawls up to the security camera and bites the wires, disabling it.
Another rat crawls along the ledge of the enclosure and behind the guard. He finds a key tied to his belt. He gnaws through the binding, and removes the key. He scurries up a chain, avoiding the fire, and uses it to open the lock on the prisoners mask.
The mask comes undone, all of the chains loosen and he falls into the pit of fire below, the rat falling in with him and roasting.
Guard:*Rubs his head as a long fingered, bony hand grabs the ledge of the enclosure.*
"Your plan is working, now you must feed if you hope to escape, make the guard regret his carelessness."
Barbatos:*Hands emerge from the fiery pit holding a chain, he wraps it around the guards neck and drags the screaming drunkard in*
"Silence him. Your jaws can tear through bone."
A sickening chomp is heard, quieting his screams. Horrid eating noises are heard, they last for three minutes.
A flaming figure leaps out of the enclosure and stands up, cracking his neck.
??:..........*looks at his arms*.............I'M ON FIRE!!!! *begins rolling around in a panic*FIRE FIRE FIRE FIIIIREEE!!
The fire goes out and he stands up.
Barbatos
Height:6'3
Weight: 180 LBS
Appearance: Tall, grotesque, and frightening. a classic boogeyman. Although his shoulders are wide, he's rather thin and lanky, long limbed. His fingers and toes are also long,, and clawed at the tip with slick, sharp black nails. His face is mildly canine in appearance, with a wide, toothy mouth maintaining a constant grin, large solid red eyes, a canine-like nose, and thick, black wild hair with a pair of very bushy eyebrows.
Guard 2:*Walks in* Hey Rupert, the security camera just went off are you-
Hlooks at the enclosure and notices it's empty, and the guard is missing.
Barbatos:*Growls and assumes a feral combat position, growling and grinning*
Despite having vast size advantage, the guard looks nervous, he's shaking as he points his halberd at Barbatos.
Barbatos:Your terror...Its so refreshing!
"Despite the intimidating look of this opponent, he fears you. Barbatos is unable to use weapons or armor, but he excells in close combat. He draws enemy aggression to him easily and has unmatched regeneration and evasion, his claws and teeth are his weapon of choice. Show this mortal he has every reason to be terrified."
Barbatos rushes the guard and leaps at him, the Guard impales him with his halberd, though Barbatos lets out a whine of pain, he roars and slides down the shaft of the polearm, reaching its unfortunate wielder and biting into his face, the cracking of the guard's shattering skull is sickening, he is finished off quickly.
"Barbatos gains a great advantage in battles when his foes are terrified. Use it to unleash gruesome killing blows to inspire more terror."
Barbatos gets on all fours and looms over the guards corpse.
"Take every opportunity to feed on your foes...."
He begins tearing into the guard's body, he eats him in a disturbingly short amount of time. After all the meat is stripped off the bones are cracked to a size that will fit and inserted into his gaping mouth.
An alarm begins blaring. The heavy footsteps of more guards are heard.
"Climb the wall and hide in the shadows. Numbers can overwhelm, you do not want to be locked up again, do you?"
Barbatos swiftly leaps onto a wall and distorts his limbs, climbing like a spider.
The guards run into the room and look around frightened. Barbatos is missing, along with two guards. The large gore puddle on the ground isn't encouraging.
"Crawl out of the door and head to the nearest air vent...Or not. Just be careful. Terror is one of Barbatos' greatest weapons."
Barbatos:..*Crawls onto the ceiling just above the guards*...
He drools, his saliva drips onto the head of a guard. The guard yells in a panic, Barbatos leaps down from the ceiling and executes him by driving his claws through his eyes, he hooks them down and yanks the lower part of his skull out of his face. He leaps to the other guard, who manages to block. Barbatos focuses on his weapon and bites down on it, snapping it in half. The guard goes berserk out of fear and begins striking at Barbatos with his fists. He leaps out of combat and into a shadow on the wall. The guard looks around, panicked.
Guard:WHERE ARE YOU!? STOP HIDING FROM ME, DAMN IT!! *begins hyperventilating*
Barbatos leaps from the shadows and stretches out his arms, his chest opens up vertically revealing a huge, nightmarish mouth lined with rib-like teeth. As he passes over the guard, his mouth completely takes off the guards head and shoulders, his arms distend and his body falls to the ground. Barbatos' chest closes up and retracts. He consumes the dead guards and crawls out of the door via the ceiling, making his way into an air vent.
MusicAfter traversing the vents for a while, he manages to find an exit leading to the outdoors.
"You've made it. Steal a boat and head to the mainland."
Barbatos:At long last...*Takes a long, deep breath*...Fresh sea air..I've forgotten almost completely how it smells....Wait..Sea air..Oh damn it all! *looks around, noticing the island is surrounded by water*
He cautiously heads to the harbor of the island, it's also heavily guarded. There is a ship beginning to depart, however.
Barbatos swiftly and stealthily makes it to the coast and begins to swim after the departing boat, he clings to the side with his claws before it fully leaves the dock, and crawls to the top of the boat. He walks into the captains cabin and grabs him by the head.
Barbatos:To the mainland, or I'll crush your skull into a pulp.
Captain:W-Who are you!?
Barbatos:I'm the one about to grip your skull into a paste. Now
Move. And I might just let you go home and forget you ever saw me...
The captain begins to steer the boat towards New Meridian.
They arrive shortly.
Captain:We..We're here..Now please..let me go...
Barbatos:........*grips his head slightly*
Captain:NO-
Barbatos Knocks his head against the wheel, knocking him out cold. He departs the ship swiftly, and sets foot in Meridian harbor.
Barbatos:*Looks around* ....Incredible...I'm flabberghasted! *Blends into a crowd*
"The world is your playground."
