Abaddon (Aka Casimir Kathar)

• January 5, 2013

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: <p> Appearance (Human): Casimir stands at a good height of 5'10" and with a well built, formidable body. He isn't too bulky or anything, but he definitely has the looks of someone who works out regularly to condition and strengthen themselves. He has a brown skin tone and dark, mischievous eyes that may sometimes give off a sinister impression. His hair is kind of long, covering his ears and falling slightly below his neck, and it is also black and curly to the point where there seems to be several tiny snakes frozen in place.<br /> Clothing varies obviously, but Casimir is usually wearing dark colored jeans, brown boots, and a black button-up shirt that isn't too fancy but nice in a sportsy sort of way. He also enjoys wearing a black pea coat, though he wears a red one too sometimes of he feels like it.<br /> He has a dignified walk and presence to himself and has a bit of a smug expression. As vaguely mentioned before, his eyes, and also his face, almost have a sinister look to them in a conniving and a "I know something you don't" sort of way. For the most part though, he doesn't draw much *suspicious* attention to himself.<br /><br /> Appearance (Abaddon): Abaddon's appearance is a completely different story. He has a humanoid form, but definitely looks nothing short of a demon with his pitch black and semi-ethereal body. It is adorned with otherworldly streaks and patterns of crimson and gold, and these are known to glow during intense situations. Abaddon has wickedly sharp fangs in the place of teeth, and equally sharp claws have replaced all of the digits on his hands and feet. There are six slender wings coming from his back that are reptilian and insect-like in appearance, and another bewildering feature of Abaddon is the large, fanged mouth that appears along his stomach. Abaddon's stance is also more feral, allowing for easy transitions between walking or running upright to crawling and bounding on all fours. </p>

Personality: <p> Even as Abaddon, he's got a kind of silly personality that would be much more charming if it wasn't ruined by his completely twisted behavior. Sadistic, Abaddon enjoys hunting down his prey and always devises gruesome ways to fight, torture, and kill his targets.<br /> When he's not being an all out psycho though, Abaddon (or in this case, Casimir) can be rather likeable barring the occasional morbid joke and ever present sly and proud behavior he has going on. For the most part, he acts his age and enjoys many of the same things most teenagers do. </p>

Backstory: <p> There's no dramatic story to Casimir's life barring the fact he had the wonderful and riveting experience of getting caught in a violent explosion (set off by a villain no less). There's no joke about that as he'd tell you, and he was pretty much on the verge of death considering he began to find himself in a place that was clearly otherworldly. Ironically, it was here on the brink of death where his life would be changed forever. He was approached by a supernatural entity known as Drevenon, but as terrifying and powerful as it looked it seemed to be in pretty bad shape, much like he was. The entity proposed that the two bond together to avoid their doom, and also promised an ascension above his human nature and the acquisition of power that would make many tremble before him. Although he wasn't in any real position to inquire or bargain, Casimir was more than glad to accept Drevenon's offer. Why? Because even though there was no tremendous history to him, he has always held a wonder and strong envy of metahumans. Casimir felt inferior to them and hated the fact that he would either need to rely on them for protection as heroes, or be completely at their mercy as villains. On top of that, Casimir had always believed in the concepts of justice, vengeance, and punishment, but felt that they were never dealt properly by the established law and vigilante superheroes.<br /> And so the two became one, and in his new, alternate form, Casimir called himself Abaddon. Drevenon's promise of power and fear came true as he quickly caught the attention of superheroes and villains alike with his bloody "hunts" for criminals and sadistic and terrifying battles against his enemies. Many of the city's heroic guilds pursued him at first because of this, but they eventually deemed him to fight for their cause of justice. Even then however... Abaddon's presence left its mark on some guilds who remain fearful and wary of him regardless.<br /> As for Drevenon, it (or "he", as it is a masculine entity) is a powerful being from a place known as the Tenevric Realms, a vast and nightmarish expanse. He was more or less its primary ruler, but was challenged, usurped, and exiled by a being named Atahorr. Needing to survive, Drevenon chose Casimir as his host, and the two eventually ventured into the dark realms to take vengeance upon the Usurper Lord and prevent him from fulfilling his plan of extending his lordship to Earth's realm. Trekking through this place was no easy task, but it served as the perfect training grounds for Abaddon to truly hone his abilities. As the turmoil in Earth's realm increased because of Atahorr's influence, Abaddon eventually came to him and did battle. Hard fought and terrible, he prevailed and cast Atahorr into a torturous abyss of his new kingdom and ensured he would stay there for a nice, long while. He has since named the Tenevric Realms "Sheol", and uses it to imprison and torture his foes (or anything brought to him for "safekeeping"). </p>
