Description: Tod Hund- These Germanic named beasts are massive 'Hounds' who are handled normally by only Death himself, but can also be given to very skilled and specially trained Reapers who are known as Handlers. Death Hounds are known for their tracking skills, and many are notorious for being ruthless and vicious creatures who will only yield for their masters.

Kerberos- These beasts are massive 'Hounds' who were once Tod Hunds (Death Hounds) but were deemed to vicious to be used and thus were sent to hell to become loyal to Satan and are tethered to either side of the gates of hell. These massive beasts were warped, twisted to become a demon who only desire to devour the people thrown at their feet. Hell Hounds have been starved and are switched out at the gates on a daily basis, only being fed once or twice a rotation.

.:Hound Information:.
Class: Anubis/Black Shuck.
Rank: Agár/Perro Negro.
Special Rank: Hiza Inu.
Description: Agár (Greyhound)- This Hound is second in rank to the verekoer and know how to throw their weight around. They're strong and smart and are considered to be the lackey rank of the verekoer. Despite their reputation for being lackeys, they're powerful and are perfectly able to function without the command of the verekoer.

Perro Negro (Black Hound)- A being said to be found primarily in the folklores of the British Isles. The black dog is a large Black Hound. It is generally supposed to be larger than a normal dog, and often has large, glowing eyes, often associated with electrical storms, crossroads, places of execution and ancient pathways.

Black dogs are almost universally regarded as malevolent, and a few are said to be directly harmful. Its appearance was regarded as a portent of death, while exact abilities vary wildly between different variations.

.:Human Appearance:.
Human Age: 22.
Human Eye Color: Black.
Human Hair Color: Dark Purple.
Type of Build/Body: Tall and lean, but well built and muscular.
Height: 6'6''.
Weight: 230 lbs.
Distinguishing Marks: What is most noticeable about Ningyo is the fact that he wears what appears to be thick, black makeup under his eyes with black marks that make it appear like single claw marks over both his left and right eyes and at the corners of either side of his mouth is a thin black line that gives his mouth the illusion of being slit from ear to ear and if he smiles, it looks like he was a victim of the ever famous Black Dahlia Murder. However, these marks are completely permanent and are not the effect of makeup. Instead, these marks are scars that ran so deep, that they left an imprint on his soul. Once he became a Hound once more, these marks on his eyes and mouth reappeared, never coming off even after he took his makeup off. The one thing that is makeup is on his nose. A single purple dot that imitates a clown's nose.

In his bottom lip in the center is a silver 'O' ring. On both the left and right side of his lower cheeks, just above his lower jaw bones, are two white studs or balls.

.:Hound Appearance:.
Eye Color: Green.
Fur Color: Black.
Type of Build/Body: Large, but thin.
Height: 6'0''.
Weight: 200 lbs.
Distinguishing Marks: When in Hound form, Ningyo's signature marks over his eyes and mouth become more pronounced and change from black to a dark purple color, becoming visible even through his shaggy black fur.

However, the most interesting thing about Ningyo while in this form is his collar. The Torque he wears is an extension of his past life as a true Hellhound, thus it is twisted, bearing seemingly rather large, bent spiks jutting out in opposite directions all the way around it. Dnd in place of a "holy" object, such as a cross or the likes, dangles a skull which has glowing green eyes and emits the same necromantic magic as Ghul.

Attitude/Personality: His murderous tendencies can be a result of Borderline Personality Disorder. This is also accompanied by other psychological disorders. The main one being  Schizotypal Personality Disorder. Ningyo presents signs and symptoms of both disorders.

Ningyo's a loner, lacking large numbers of close friends outside of immediate family, and often interprets  events incorrectly- sometimes even  feeling that external events have personal meaning. He's seen as peculiar, eccentric and has unusual thinking, beliefs and behavior. He also dresses in peculiar ways. Not only that, Ningyo's perceptions are often altered. In some cases, he'll have bodily illusions, including phantom pains or other distortions in his sense of touch.

Ningyo is also known for his peculiar style of speech, which is often classified as "loose" or "vague". Suspicious or paranoid ideas, hypersensitivity, and constant doubts about the loyalty and fidelity of others keep Ningyo constantly on alert of others. However, he's well known for his flat emotions and limited emotional responses. At times, Ningyo will present signs of social anxiety, thus making his reactions even worse, meaning that he has none at all, or he becomes increasingly violent towards those who are attempting to be social with him.

He's also known to being prone to extreme reactions of rage and has a pattern of intense and stormy relationships with family, friends, and loved ones, often veering from extreme closeness and love (idealization) to extreme dislike or anger (devaluation).

Ningyo also has a distorted and unstable self-image or sense of self, which can result in sudden changes in feelings, opinions, values, or plans and goals for the future. He's often seen as impulsive and often enacts in dangerous behaviors, such as spending sprees, unsafe sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, and binge eating. He's prone to intense and highly changeable moods, with each episode lasting from a few hours to a few days, however more often than not Ningyo has chronic feelings of emptiness and/or boredom.

He's also very well known for his inappropriate, intense anger or has problems controlling his anger, thus making him an unstable creature at best. At worst, he's a well calculated, cold, unfeeling killing machine. When in a stable state of mind, he's able to formulate a tactic and kill without hesitation. Even when in an excited state, he can kill with ease and will rarely leave any traces behind.

*Talents: He was actually a circus clown when he was younger, so he is an amazing athlete.

• Black Magic- traditionally references the use of supernatural powers for evil and selfish purposes. This magic includes True Name Spells, Necromancy, and Curses/Hexes.
  

• True name spells- the theory that knowing a person's true name allows control over that person, making this wrong for the same reason. This can also be used as a connection to the other person, or to free them from another's compulsion, so it is in the grey area.
  

• Necromancy- a claimed form of magic involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge.
  

• Curses/Hexes- a curse can be as simple as wishing something bad would happen to another, to a complex ritual.
  

• Chaos Magic- A magical variation of Black Magic and is more serious in the fact that this magic has no rules except for the ones that it borrows liberally from other belief systems. Chaos magic is often highly individualistic. Due to chaos magic having a central belief that belief is a tool, it is seen as an even darker form of magic than its 'father', Black Magic.
  

• Gnosis- defined as an altered state of consciousness that in his magic theory is necessary for working most forms of magic.
  

• Gnostic State- The gnostic state is achieved when a person's mind is focused on only one point, thought, or goal and all other thoughts are thrust out. Practitioners of chaos magic each develop their own ways of reaching this state. All such methods hinge on the belief that a simple thought or direction experienced during the gnostic state and then forgotten quickly afterwards bypasses the "psychic censor" and is sent to the subconscious, rather than the conscious mind, where it can be enacted through means unknown to the conscious mind.
  

• Inhibitory Gnosis- a form of deep meditation into a trance state of mind. This type of gnosis uses slow and regular breathing techniques, absent thought processes, progressive muscular relaxation, self-induction and self-hypnosis techniques. Means employed may also include fasting, sleeplessness, sensory deprivation and hypnotic or trance inducing drugs.
  

• Excitatory Gnosis- describes a mindlessness reached through intense arousal. It is aimed to be reached through sexual excitation, intense emotions, flagellation, dance, drumming, chanting, sensory overload, hyperventilation and the use of disinhibitory or hallucinogenic drugs.
  

• Indifferent Vacuity- described by Phil Hine and Jan Fries as a third method. Here the intended spell is cast parenthetically, so it does not raise much thought to suppress.

.:Scythe Information:.
Name: Ghul.
Type: Staff/living creature.
Description: Ghul is an amazingly versatile weapon. He's not only an effective weapon, but also an effective partner of sorts. Ghul is a living weapon who can take shape of an all black djinn with green eyes. is fingers are elongated and look quite sinister. He's also very strong and durable.

When not in a human-like form, Ghul is a black staff with a skull on the top of it. The spike jutting out from around the skull work as blades and are very sharp. Not only does the staff have blades, but it emits a green aura. This is necromantic magic which can be used to drain life force and even souls. If this substance is turned against an opponent, it's no doubt that Ghul is looking to devour a soul.
Strengths:  Immune to drugs, poisons, and gases. Also immune to the affects of cold . Guns and knives can "wound", but they will not destroy, as Ghul possesses remarkable regenerative powers, enabling it to withstand large caliber weapons and even small explosives.
Weaknesses: Weakens in light of any kind (man-made or natural), highly susceptible to fire, can be burned and subsequently destroyed by concentrated acid or electrocution as well. Ghul can also be destroyed by a blast (caused by an explosive or heavy artillery) of sufficient intensity to render it incapable of ever recuperating. The blast would have to be potent enough to incinerate or vaporize it entirely.

Another method (albeit an inadvisable one) would be to "starve" Ghul into destruction. This method can be problematic for most, as starving Ghul may take up to a week.

  As many superpowers are derived from life force, user may be able to absorb them from the targets. Any attacks derived from superpowers are also vulnerable to such abilities, as the energy and matter produced contains the user's life force, which can be drained and rendering the attack useless.

.:Background:.
History: Born of a circus family, Ningyo was always on the road. He was 13 when he was first put into the circus as a clown. He worked hard to become strong enough to do the larger tricks. Tightrope walks, sword swallowing, fire eating, pie throwing. He did each one in a different part of his act in each show he performed. By the time he was 18, he had performed in at least 200 circus acts across the globe. From Japan to Germany, to America. Ningyo traveled it all. However, his acts began to get boring so he decided to spice them up a bit by becoming the 'dark clown' among all of the happy clowns who seemed to love to be laughed at.

He delved deeper and deeper into magic, becoming more and more interested in black magic, Necromancy and Chaos Magic. Finally, he had had enough of the laughing faces and pointing fingers. His first spree was in a circus in Russia. He started by simply killing the ring master, but it soon escalated to the entire crowd and the rest of the circus staff. That single event earned him the title of "Emotionless Clown Killer" and forever branded him as a serial killer.
