## Appearances

### Debut

01. Vendetta

**Harry Macharius** or more commonly known by his alias "**RIPPER**" is a mercenary for hire who will murder, slaughter, bomb, terrorize and sabotage for the highest bidder. A pamphlet of **the High Midnight tournament** flew into his face and recognizing his current financial plight, decided to participate.

Though he was late to the tournament, he decided to infiltrate by posing as a prisoner, hoping to claim some of the participant's and prisoner's heads as bounties. Though soon he discovered an opportunity far more rewarding.

## Appearance

Ripper is a well built, 180cm tall male human (?). His real face has never been seen by anyone. Rumors even suggest that he doesn't actually have a face, though this is unconfirmed. His face is covered by his hood, in which white eyes can be seen.

He wears a mercenary outfit that he tailors himself. It consists of a hooded cape made from non-flammable material, a somewhat loose bodysuit, a pair of iron infused leather boots, pieces of hardened metal armor on his torso, arms, elbows, legs and a pauldron on his left shoulder.

Two belts secures his two chain-machete to his torso.

He wars a mask that hides his face from time to time, but has been using it less and less as he finds it redundant and itchy.

## Personality

Ripper, by definition, is a psychopath. He feels absolutely no guilt or remorse for his victims. Sometimes he even remarks of his absolute enjoyment in killing things. He does however, kill them rather quickly, saving the horrors of slow death to those he harbors a particular anger against.

Beneath this bloodthirsty and seemingly insane appearance however, he is an extremely calm and collected individual, rarely charging into things he does not know much about. He is able to formulate intricate plans for his tasks to ensure the greatest outcome for his missions ( usually by killing the contract giver and stealing all the money for himself ) . When no clear plan is available, he'll resort to brute force, usually leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Regardless, he will do anything to complete his goals.

When not out missions, he is a pretty relaxed guy. He smokes and drinks, though he drinks more than he smokes.

## History

### The Past

Not much is known of Ripper's early years. He was born in the Hiveworld Armata of the Auriga sector. He enlisted in the Armatian National Army when a civil war broke out. Harry Macharius was listed into the 33rd Shock Army and joined the 5th Squad. He and his squad served for 10 years until the destruction of Armata, where he and his squadmates were presumed dead.

Two years after the Destruction of Armata, the name Harry Macharius was registered into the Galactic Mercenary Board's database and took the nickname "**Ripper**". He was noted for having an unusually high bodycount in his missions, even in missions where diplomacy was a must. The board tolerated this though, as he was getting the jobs done at very quick pace, even faster than the elites at the time.

It was soon discovered that he has been breaking the Board's rules by killing his contractor when meeting them after missions to take all of their cash and assets. He was brought in to be trialed, though he escaped and resumed his work as a freelancer mercenary. During this period, his kill count escalated even further, prompting the Mercenary Board to put a bounty on his head. This only added more kills to his name and after two months, the bounty was erased and the board left Ripper to his own whims.

One of his most infamous missions was the mass murder a Japanese royal family, of which he killed approximately 170+ people, his contractor included. This was one of the uncommon instances where Ripper has left a survivor, though the whereabouts of this survivor is presently unknown.
