Hair Color: Crimson

Appearance/Personality: Russaro is a handsome "young man" with a well-fit look about him. His hair is short and spiked, with two long bangs from his forhead to his chin. He dresses in a pair of baggy, black, cotton pants and a tight, crimson, sleeve-less shirt that reveals his muscular build. Over that, he normally wears a long, crimson red trenchcoat that nearly touches the ground, coming together in the middle by three belts with large crimson buckles, two of them making an 'X' shape, the other going across them both horizontaly. The unique thing about this trenchcoat is that strange black lines, or streaks seem to constantly flow across it, seeming to be within the garment itself. Almost like black rain-clouds flowing along a moonlit sky. His crimson eyes are the same way, giving him an eerie look. On his hands he wears a pair of black leather gloves, with steel, crimson plates across the knuckles, and on his feet, a pair of big, black leather boots with a crimson buckle across each one.
Normally, he speaks in a smooth, persuasive tone, but when he gets serious his voice becomes sinister. When speaking in his normal tone, it is said that he can persuade practically any normal human to do whatever he wishes. He basically takes control of their mind.
Around his waist he wears a thick, black belt which holds the sheathes of the original Ares- and Ares~, one on each hip, usually concealed by his trenchcoat.
Also, upon his right cheek, directly below his eye, is a black tattoo of a strangle symbol that looks sort of like a Japanese character. It is made of two vertical strokes and a diagonal, wavey stroke going from bottom-left to top-right, straight through the other two and up to the right corner of his eye.
Russaro usually keeps to himself, unless he's had a bad day, or an unfortunate someone decides to mess with him. He spends most of his time in bars, travelling from town to town looking for jobs. He's a top-class mercenary who's known to accept jobs that people say no one in their right mind would.. one of the best. It seems that death follows him wherever he goes, giving him a rather bad reputation, and causing many to fear him, hence the nickname the "Crimson Death".

History: Many long years ago, when the world was still young, a boy was born by the name of Russaro, in a small village called Yeron. Only a few short days after his birth, his mother became very ill. A while later she was found dead, lying in her bed. This wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary in the poor village of Yeron, but it was the condition of her body that began to stir up the villagers. When she was found, her entire body was burnt to a blackened crisp, leaving only a small bit of flesh hanging from her bones. The strangest thing about it was that in her lifeless arms she still held her newborn baby; completely unharmed. Rumors saying that Russaro was a demon child spread quickly throughout the village, causing fear and chaos. Because of this, Russaro grew up without friends nor family except for his father, whom he didn't consider a father at all. Russaro was frequently beaten and treated very horribly, growing to completely despise his father and the rest of the village.
On the day of Russaro's fourteenth birthday, he was sitting alone in his room as usual, which was a mere five-by-five foot space with no windows and a hard, dirt floor, and stone walls, much like a prison cell. He sat there, silently sketching pictures of death and destruction in the dirt with his finger. He heard his father enter the old stone house, knowing all too well that he was probably drunk and in a violent mood. As his father entered the room, Russaro lifted his head, glaring at him with a deep hatred. He stood slowly, expecting yet another brutal beating. His father began ranting on about random things he disliked about his son, and yelled about him being a no-good demon child, blaming him for his mother's mysterious death. Russaro's anger swelled up inside him with every breath he took. His father raised his arm and swung at his cheek. Before his fist reached Russaro's face, he was thrown back by a powerful, unseen force, sending him flying into the wall, landing flat upon his chest, driving the wind from his lungs. When Russaro's father looked up at his son, he was engulfed in a crimson aura. His eyes were blood red, with black patterns flowing through them. His hair went from jet black to a crimson color before his very eyes. Russaro began slowly making his way towards his now defenseless father, who lay sprawled helplessly upon the ground. Russaro stood above the man he had despised for so long, the man who had thoughtlessly beaten him every night since he was a small child, his eyes showing not a drop of sympathy. He slowly raised his arms, spreading his fingers apart. The last thing his father heard was a blood-curdling voice yelling in unknown tongue before Russaro brought his arms down. A rush of crimson energy rained down upon his back, completely arching his body, crushing it into the ground. The sound of snapping bones could be heard throughout the village.
Russaro had yet to begin to unleash his rage. He lifted his arms and looked towards the sky, closing his eyes. In the same eerie voice as before, he began yelling in the same strange tongue. Suddenly, people began pouring from their rundown homes, oblivious to anything that was going on except for the fact that their houses had, for no reason at all, burst into flames. Screams of agony rang throughout the village as all of it's inhabitants died a slow, horribly painful death.
Russaro stepped out of his home, walking through searing hot flames as if they weren't there at all. He watched the last remaining villagers fall to the ground, their cries of pain filling him with excitement, feeding his insanity. He observed the blackened bodies that lie upon the ground, grinning with satisfaction. At last, he had had revenge upon the village of Yeron.
Russaro fled from the ruins of Yeron in the darkness of night, never to be seen in that area again. From then on he has lived on his own, travelling from town to town searching for work. He had no last name, so he decided to give himself one. He was then known as Russaro Fatale.
As he grew older, Russaro decided to be a mercenary, quickly becoming known as one of the best at the early age of sixteen. Everywhere he went, death and destruction seemed to follow, earning him the nickname "The Crimson Death". He has been feared and respected by many for the rest of his life. (He later obtained the Ares- and the Ares~ by defeating their previous owners, Seraph and Sovan Minosuke, in battle.)

Weapons:
Bloodlust - This is a sword that Russaro created himself, said to be forged from the essence of hatred and insanity. The blade itself is flat, wide, very long, and shaped almost like an hourglass, only much thinner and comes to an extremely sharp point at the end. The blade is a dark crimson color, with the same strange appearance of mysterious black streaks flowing across it like his eyes and trenchcoat. It's handle is large and wrapped in black leather.
This mysterious sword holds an incredible power, said to sometiemes cause physical pain, headaches, and dizziness to any who stand near it. It constantly lusts for blood, growing more powerful with every life it takes. It is also said that whenever a person of weak will is wounded with this weapon, they become corrupt and full of hatred for virtually everything, causing them to turn on even their closest family members.
The blade itself is not an imobile material, and basically not a material at all, as it is forged from the essence of hatred and insanity. It can bend, twist, grow, and many other things at the user's will. It can also take any shape possible, and can even assume a liquid form.

Soulseeker - The Soulseeker is a long, thick lance found by Russaro in an old cathedral. Inside the cathedral was the scene of a massacre. Dead bodies lie everywhere, mercilessly slaughtered. The priest's body was haunched over the podium at the front, pinned down by the Soulseeker, which protruded from his back. Upon the wall, written in blood, was a single word. "Kaiser".
The Soulseeker is completely crimson except for the black, leather handle in the center and the two long, thin, black blades on either end. The Soulseeker may look like a normal lance, but within it is hidden a dark power. Whenever someone is slain with this weapon, it sucks the souls from their bodies, growing more powerful with each soul it consumes.

Kasari - The Kasari is a very long katana given to Russaro by his mentor, Sato.
Sato had said that the Kasari was an immensely powerful weapon, though Russaro has yet to unlock its secrets. The blade itself is nearly fight feet in length. It is very sleek, almost like glass. This crimson blade is made of an unknown, pracitally weightless and unbreakable, material, and has a black hilt. This weapon is very thin, giving it extremely sharp edges and allowing it to be maneuvered very easily, despite its size. Russaro normally always wears this weapon sheathed across his back.

Sovan's Might/Seraph's Will - These weapons were forged long, long ago, in dedication to the two brothers, rivals, and two of the once most-trusted warriors of all God's angels, or so it's said.
Sovan's Might is an average-sized sword, nearly weightless and practically indescructable. It's shaped as any normal sword, although its appearance is quite unique. The blade itself is jet black, with, seemingly, live, dark purple flames dancing within it. If you touch the blade, its intense heat could melt, and completely evaporate your flesh, even the hardest of metals. This blade has the ability to increase the physical strength and defense a complete tenfold, hence the name 'Sovan's Might'.
It's sister weapon is Seraph's Will, a much shorter, identically shaped sword, not as short as a dagger or knife, yet not as long as a sword. Some prefer to call these "dirks". The blade itself is pure white, with pale blue flames seeming to dance within, much the opposite to Sovan's Might.
At the actual blade's end, the beginning of the hilt, there are two, silver wings on either side.
The blade's touch could completely freeze even the toughest of all materials, and would most likely render a limb entirely useless by killing all the nerves, tissue, and even cells. This mysterious sword has the ability to increase the magic and magic defense of the user by tenfold, hence the name 'Seraph's Will'. (Also, if Russaro uses this weapon on himself it has a powerful healing effect)
The only way Russaro is able to wield either of these weapons is his complete immunity to all heat and cold. It is said that Russaro obtained the two sister-blades by competing in fierce competitions held in the Below and Above. Once these weapons find an worthy owner, they cannot be taken from them, knocked out of their hand, nor copied. They're existance is basically fused with the user. Russaro will rarely ever wield just one of these weapons at a time.

Hell's Gate - This is a gigantic broadsword of indescribable might. The sword itself is every bit of six feet long, nearly seven, and a full 2 feet in width. Other than its massive size, this blade looks plan and simple, even chipped in a few areas. The once bright-shining silver glamour of the blade is now faded to a plain, pale grey hue. Inscribed in the center of the blade is a single, strange rune that glows brightly with vibrantly blue light at times. It is said that this weapon was once wielded by a powerful dark god named Sato, reigning supreme over all races. Each 10,000 years the position as supreme dark god was supposedly passed down from father to son, as well as the weapon. At the end of Sato's term, it is told that he engraved the blade of the weapon with a rune symbolizing his name, and by casting an ancient spell, fused himself with the blade, giving it all of his immunities, statistics, and incredible power. The weapon is rumored to be powerful enough to crumble the gate's of hell with a single, effortless blow, hence the name 'Hell's Gates'. Strangely, Russaro wields this weapon with incredible ease, as if it were only a butter-knife.

Heaven's Revenge - This is more of an accessory, rather than a weapon or armor. The Heaven's Revenge is a thick, silver chain-necklace with a large, black gem embedded into a cross-shaped charm. When activated by an ancient chant known only by Russaro, it boosts his speed, agility, and senses three times it's normal level.

(Russaro also owns both of the original Ares, though their full descriptions are currently unavaliable.)

(ATTATCHMENT:
Ares- and Ares~ were once a single sword, weilded by God himself thousands of years ago. This sword was named Narsil. Long ago, a war broke out between Heaven and Hell, the Angelic Demonic Wars, which lasted over 100 years. Two mighty warriors for the angelic side quickly rose through the ranks. One warrior was an Angel named Seraph, and the other, a simple human named Narotu. They quickly became God's most trusted warriors, and his personal guardians. When the Angelic Demonic Wars finally came to an end, God called forth his two guardians. There took his incredible weapon, Narsil, and with it created two destructive swords, Ares- and Ares~. To Seraph he gave Ares~, and to Narotu the Ares-. Many years later, Seraph was banned from the Above for disobeying an important law, and was permanently banished. Around that time, Narotu was murdered by Sovan Minosuke, brother of Seraph, whom became weilder of the Ares-. Sovan was once a trusted warrior of the Above, but a near-fatal accident transformed him into a hybrid of a Demon and Angel, creating an incredible fighter. Sovan roamed the world in search of his brother Seraph, with only one intention.. to kill.
Since that time, these two blades have travelled from being to being, town to town, and everywhere in between.
