Caras

By Child Of Darkness

• July 25, 2013

Age: 12000 (Approx)

Gender: Male

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: Caras has several appearances depending on the situation, but for the most part he will look like this<br /><br />He stands as a rather tall pony, several inches higher than the average. His eyes are a bright shade of amber with pupils that switch from being standard round pupils to slit pupils when focusing. His coat is a dark shade of blue which gets lighter the closer to his hooves it goes. Originally he had a long (Vinyl Scratch) style mane and a smooth brushed tail coloured Silver, which has started to dull and grey slightly. Typically he will have bronze shaded leg guards on all 4 legs and a sword in a hilt strapped along his waist.

Cutie Mark: Cutie Mark is an Ankh with two Scythe's attached alongside the lower parts. Its a symbol that shows both his close connection to gods and his abilities to kill said Gods.

Personality: Sadistic and hostile. Swing first, kill second, Third does not exist. A once Lord reduced to the status of nothing more than a thug. A relic of a past long forgotten by the world. This fact has left him angry and depressed, and murderous. Caras hold many grudges over from his old life, mainly at entities that called themselves Gods for his imprisonment, so he derives much pleasure from tormenting the beings they watch over, which just happens to be pony kind.<br /><br />Caras sees ponies as little more than pests, bugs that can only be an issue in a swarm. Something that have a purpose, but he does not want to see them, or he will have his fun with them.<br /><br />Holds himself in very high regard, which brings along his very large ego. He thinks very highly of himself and demands only absolute perfection from himself.

Backstory: Caras was trapped in Tartarus for 10000 years. Before that he was a Lord of destruction and had many lands to his name. Until Celestias Ancestors, sacrificed them selves to imprison in Tartarus. He has been there ever since and the realm of the mortals has all but forgot he ever existed.<br /><br />He was born from one Angel of heaven and one Demon of the Underworld. Shortly after birth he was sent to old lands to live as a normal pony which did not work as intended. His differences were very noticeable and ponies prejudice nature did not favour him all too well. It never really got to him and he could just brush all of it aside. Being quite physically strong for his age, he could win fights when people became aggressive towards him. At the age of 11 he wandered into the Everfree forest, which long ago was a much darker place and had a much closer connection to evil than it does in modern Equestria. In this place existed a pool. An accursed pool to which if the rumours were true, state into it long enough and the souls of long dead demons would posses your body and corrupt your soul. Caras did just that, he stared into the pool for what seemed like hours, nothing happened. He was near ready to call it quits, when a spectral hoof shot out of the pool, going right through his head and directly touching his brain. The hoof fed Caras all the information about who he was, his parents, that Underworld and The Heavens, while also teaching him about the magic that lay inside of him. With his new information and power, Caras made a pledge to himself restore his kind to the glory of long ago.<br /><br />At the age of 16 he made way for The Demon Plains and set about re-claiming his Demon status. It took decades of hash trials and countless heads rolled while he was ascending the ranks, all while gaining more power and experience. After 80 gruelling years of rising in power, he finally felt confident enough to challenge the current Demon King to a duel. Everyone, including Caras was expecting a long and difficult fight between the two strongest Demons to live at this point in time. That was not the case as Caras cut down the Demon King with a single Draw Cut from his sword. Calling the underworld surprised would be an understatement. But the rules of challenge were clear and Caras was welcomed as the King of the Underworld. After 200 years of Rebuilding the underworld, Training armies and teaching young demons the ways of war, politics and assassination, he finally felt that his kind was ready for the single biggest event since the Second war of independence against the gods. His kind would take to the surface world of mortals and wage a war, with the aim to seize control from the current empire and name it as the first Surface settlement for Demons in millennia. The result, total and complete control of the continent Caras once called home in less than 3 years.<br /><br />For nearly two millennia after this victory, Caras was satisfied with the results they had so far, the controlled a very large and important nation in terms of resources, landmass and passage ways between countries. The political power this gave him in the world was undeniable and his military force essentially let him do what he wanted without repercussion. This eventually came back to bite him.<br /><br />For at his 2000 birthday, Caras let his guard down, descendent of the original nations leader which he defeated long ago had returned in a small group, nothing more than a few assassins. But the kicker was the Alicorn in the group. While they didn't have the power to kill Caras, the had made a pact with the gods that if she was to use all of her life energy, the Gods would lend her their power to banish Caras and seal him away in the great prison of Tartarus. Draining Caras of all his power that would take more than 10 millennia to recover fully. She did just that, ending her own life Caras was banished to Tartarus and his Army now disorganised without a leader, were pushed back to the realm in which they came from, leaving behind a desolate and damage land that would take centuries to heal.<br /><br />10000 years after his imprisonment, Caras had restored enough energy for this one break out attempt, focusing his magic into one spot, he broke a hole in his cell just big enough for him to clamber through and escape, his lack of any power allowed him to slip by the guard dog Cerberus unnoticed. Returning to his old home in what was now called Equestria. A small seemingly normal cave in the Everfree forest, led down deep underground to the ruin of what Caras once called home, reduced to nothing more than a room that was once a rotunda, a bed room and his old armoury, all looted and empty. <br /><br />(This location will be his starting location for any and all Roleplays.)
