Gladius

**Background:**

During his childhood Abigail was always a large boy. Other kids tended to be scared of him while others saw Abigail as a protector and a pillar. He would appreciate the people who counted on him and did his best to protect them and tried his best to change bullies point of views. Throughout his childhood he read a lot of comic books. He was rather obsessed with how strong, brave and kind they all were. Abigail wanted to be people’s hero’s, to pick them up when they were down. So he decided to try and become one and would give himself the name of Gladius. Over the school years he worked out constantly growing more muscles and larger as each year went on. He started fighting demon at the age of 20. Slowly his reputation started to rise up as he saved citizens and fought to keep cities safe. On the side he loved to weight lift and to give motivational speeches at schools and colleges. He had some backers who supported him while doing so. It stayed this way for a few years until he was later picked up by the Demon Slayer Organization for his pure strength. He greatly accepted as he now truly felt like a hero.

**Personality:**

Gladius is a man who won’t take crap from others. He will stand up for what he believes in full force. Sure he’s no push over but he does show a lot of compassion for people. He’s seen having a lot of good laughs with the Demon Slayers from the organization. He will always try to give back to the community that supports him constantly making public appearances which he loves. He’s a fan of the camera and knows without the support of the citizens he wouldn’t be where he was today. He loves working out and will push others to get into shape at times when he sees someone clearly laying around bored. When it comes to killing demons he clearly is having a blast. Since he wants to be people’s hero this allows them to see Gladius use his muscles in action. He doesn’t show sympathy for any type of demon and thinks they’re all scum.

Pushing himself to the limit when he works out is always key for him. Blood sweat and hard work is key to keeping his muscles. When he goes to the gym he also helps people who need a partner for anything while doing his own work out. Though gyms are great, he also works out in his own manner by lifting trucks and such. Aside from that he loves going to high schools and colleges to give motivational speeches. He believes anyone can reach his level if they just work hard enough. His speeches often talk about bullying, how to over come together limits, and being comfortable with yourself.

**Fear of Drowning**

It’s unknown to others but Gladius can’t swim all too well. His weight makes it very difficult to stay floating above the water. He will always try his best to keep fighting away from water. This has led to comedic moments where Greg stays in water taunting him non stop. When Gladius watches the news he sometimes sees hero’s retire from their work. Or someone outshining someone else completely. He’d hate for that to happen to him.Thats a big reason why he works out so much and tries to make as many public appearances as possible.

**Appearance:**

When Gladius is working out he wears a black tank top and red shorts. But for public appearances he is able to clean up nice wearing polo shirts and dress pants. He enjoys dressing up.

**Powers and Abilities:**

**Nearly impossibly large body**

Some of the world's best scientists are surprised though his body can handle all that muscle. It makes it hard for him to go inside smaller areas but he doesn’t seem to mind it all too much.

**Insane Strength**

His primary attribute is his strength, thus, he doesn't wield any weapon, choosing to use only his fists. He's on record as the strongest man in the world, capable of tearing up chunks of earth and concrete with his bare hands. Developing a sort of fighting style all his own involving his strength and the durability he's built up with it.

**Bullet Punch**

He launches his opponent multiple times with each punch getting stronger and faster causing smoke to come out of his hands after delivering the final blow.

**Earthquake**

Gladius stomps on the ground with enough force to create a large powerful earthquake that destroys the environment around him.

**Steel Abs**

With him flexing his abs he’s able to stop most weapons and tank the hit.
