Appearance:
||>Face<||Picture:
Shoulder-length white hair usually covers unusual silver eyes, as well as the four, jagged scars down his left cheek from his past. Sanctus has one slash of crimson through his hair, the only color left. He is well groomed, with the sole exception of a closely trimmed goatee, which is also white.
His left ear is pierced four times, along the side. The lobe itself is pierced as well, with a jagged shard of bone. The cartilage of his nose is pierced as well, with a slightly danging demon skull. Sanctus has a helmet of blessed armor, made from steel tempered in water from the Holy River Jordan. The helmet is scored, and the in some places, the metal is jagged. There is bulletproof glass over the eye slot, and a gorget to protect his throat.
||>Chest and Shoulders<||
Although his shoulders are not excessively brawny, they are broad, and powerful. Usually, Sanctus wears a black tanktop to accenuate his pale skin, in combat situations, he wears pauldrons of the same blessed steel as his helmet, also much dented and with chipped gilding. He does not wear a breastplate, but does have an armored belt with a scabbard for his sword and a holster for his pistol.
||>Arms and Legs<||
Sanctus is in top notch physical condition, and wears black combat fatigues at almost all times. For his legs, he has a set of greaves, the same blessed steel. Also, for his arms, he has single gauntlet, and armor for his left arm with a spiked elbow-pad.
His right arm, however, seems nearly white-hot. A strange, dull blood-colored metal seems to warp and fuse to a white-hot hellish energy that radiates heat. When he moves this arm, the movement seems to linger for a few seconds, because the arm moves fast enough to fool human vision.
||>Tattoos<||
Sanctus has only a single tattoo: On his chest, there is a pentagram with a jagged scar running through it, almost intrinsic to the design.
Personality:
His picture, and a PB for banners <3
Overall, Sanctus is reserved and rarely speaks. His solemn mood is reflected by his discipline and dedication to his art--- hunting that which should not be. Because of the dangerous nature of his work, he does not socialize, and the few friends he has would more accurately be described as comrades at arms rather than friend.Likes/Dislikes:
Sanctus also has a very dark side, and a nasty temper. When Sanctus gets angry, reason and logic give way to menace and malice. If something he cares about is in danger, demonic rage is pumped through his body along with the adrenaline and the fight for control begins.
Sanctus has a dark side, as well. Almost a split personality, Diaboli is a merciless, apathetic sociopath when it comes to completing the mission. Where Sanctus is the calm, neutral negotiator, Diaboli is the rage, the hatred, and the pain forged and tempered into a single entity. Diaboli allows Sanctus to protect himself from situations he doesn't want or simply can not deal with himself.
Powers:
Also, because of his religion, has the ability to heal lesser wounds depending on the person and how righteous they are. Sanctus can also banish lesser demons, as well as call for divine intervention and temporarily create a barrier of light around an ally that no enemy can penetrate. However, if Sanctus is attacked or wounded during his prayer, or silenced, the divine barrier fades away, leaving the once protected one vulnerable to attack.
Because of his demonic arm, Sanctus also has the ability to phase, an ability in which he moves faster than the human eye can follow unaided. His demonic hand has to lead, or else the ability cannot function, so if his demonic hand is bound by sorcery or divine forces, he cannot phase.
Due to his demonic ... acquisition ... of an arm, Sanctus has super-human strength and agility. The arm can also absorb heat and fire, as well as generate a sort of hellfire for concentrated blows.Weaknesses:

<X> Diaboli <X>Other Skills:
When Sanctus gets into a dangerous situation, such as when a fight is not in his favor or something horrible happens to him or one he loves, an overwhelming hatred consumes him, and tries to devour his restraint and self-control, leaving him a merciless and sadistic warrior with no sense of good or evil.
Also, depending on how angry Sanctus is, if he attempts to pray or summon divine energy, it causes him sometimes crippling pain because of his demon arm.

Weapons
Whisper, his katana, is a blue-tinted blade made of holy steel tempered in the blood of a virgin priestess. The blade's edge is sharp enough to cut diamond, and is capable of splitting fire.
Scream, his wakisashi, was made from reforging and sanctifying demonic armor, consecrating it to create a myriad of images along the blade, gentle ripples of light, then angry ripples of red, with the occasional shimmer along the blade as if something longs to escape.
Judgment, his naginata, does not see much conventional use, and is reserved for large-prey hunting, such as greater demons. (Belial, Abbadon, etc) It is a weapon similar to a glaive, and is capable of great destruction. This is a weapon taken from a demon that once haunted battlefields of feudal Japan.
{}Other Weapons{}
Sanctus has crucifixes, holy water, bibles in a dozen languages, knives, and many firearms, including a light-weight .50 caliber sniper rifle, two MPK5's, and several various sidearms.

Sanctus Diaboli was found on the steps of Cathedral of St. Lawrence by the Arch-Bishop of Genoa. As a child, the bishop took him under his wing and attempted to prepare him for a life in the Church.Other Characters: None
Despite the skepticism, and the mockery of being the presumed son of an Italian prostitute, Sanctus still excelled in his studies, and was a devoted member of his Church. He learned many languages, and performed many ceremonies and led prayer for countless refugees and travelers to the cathedral.
During a fateful Mass ceremony, the Arch-Bishop of Genoa was attacked by a ravening man. When the Paladins, an order of religious knights led by the Cathedral could not even get close to the man, the Arch-Bishop collapsed. When Sanctus reached his side, his veins were turning black and his eyes were crimson, as he began convulsing.
At that moment, Sanctus' life changed. He put his hand on the Arch-Bishop's head and opened his heart and soul. At that moment, a demon from the dark depths of Hell surged into him, warring, screaming, clawing his soul. As Sanctus screamed and the church went wild, the Paladins finally subdued the now vacantly staring man and watched a demonic possession take place.
After an hour or so, Sanctus emerged victorious from his agonizing crucible... and received looks of horror and disgust from all around him. His right hand was now a strange and burning white, with crimson ridges of hellish armor seared to them. From then on, his life as a priest was over.
Sanctus spent two years with the Church as a Paladin, before inevitably being cast away as the demon slowly, ever so slowly, tainted more and more of his flesh. Currently, the taint has stopped at his elbow, and seems to be content thus far.
The following five years, he enlisted with one of the best private armies ever created, the Blacksun Mercenaries based out of Rome, Italy. Known best for their persecution of the supernatural and abnormal, they are not a popular organization due to their utter disregard for collateral damage in the name of the greater good. During one of his first solo missions, Sanctus earned both of his nicknames--- Diaboli and Dominus Cacciatore, or Lord Hunter.
In a hauntingly beautiful and mystic region of Japan, Sanctus tracked down and killed a demon that had possessed a feudal warlord and desecrated several monasteries. This is where he found Judgment, and carries the blade with him to this day.
*****Side Note*****
This character cannot use his demonic arm on anything human; It only can be used against the unholy, unless Diaboli takes over; HOWEVER--- For every innocent life he claims, the more of his sanity is lost, until someday he is fully consumed by the demon both body and soul.
Also, Sanctus has no hold or sway over demons of any sort, other than that granted by God.
