The Mighty B

# About

## Personality

Markus is a pretty hotheaded emotional person, with strong convictions and a sense to do what he thinks is right. He fiercely protects his core self, sometimes having to act cold, and businesslike to get what he needs to be done. He fights hard, he plays hard, and in his life, there is only one thing he loves more than the fight he wages against adversity. His companion Sal, who he would fight and die for.

## Backstory

Markus is the son of immigrants, who fled from an unknown third world country for a better life in Poland. In trying to make a living for themselves, they opened a small clothing shop in the slums. It wasn’t very successful, and things became worse when Nazi sympathizers started harassing them, stopping their shipments of cloth, and trying to ruin their lives. Things came to a boil on the night of the harvest moon, supernatural magic high. Fights broke out between immigrants, tired of being downtrodden, and proud nationals, who felt they didn’t belong. Blood was shed, and Markus, just a toddler, was left alone, amongst a neighbourhood slathered in the moonlight slaughter. In the wreckage and debris, one lonely tot found a weak and pitiful soul much like himself. A fledgeling demon named Salazar, in the form of a baby monkey. Together, they bonded. Through thick and thin, hunger and strife, and hatred, they persevered. Salazar gave Markus power, to protect them and fight against strong adversaries, and Markus protects and feeds Sal’s mortal vessel, his one and true friend. On his 28th birthday, Salazar asked for his eternal devotion, his very soul to stay with him forever, in exchange for more power, more strength. Markus agreed, wanting nothing more, knowing nothing else than underdogs fighting to survive. They walk the streets, protecting the meek, fighting the strong, ferocious in their tenacity for what they want: **A better life**

## Ability

### Bestial Brutish Bombardier

Salazar has a pool of magic that he allows Markus to use to augment himself and his physical abilities. Currently, he has 30k he bestows for Markus to mould to his liking.

Tier 1: 5k. 5k allows for quick basic rudimentary actions, such as increasing strength by 5k for a swing, holding up a light 5k barrier to stop projectiles, or increasing one stat by 1.5x its norm for 2 turns.

Tier 2: 10k. Tier 2 allows Markus to implement a barrier over a wide radius, 10 meters, increasing his defences with a 20k barrier for 2 turns, or a physical buff to increase three stats by 1.5x for 2 turns.

Tier 3: 20k. At Tier 3, Markus can use 20k magic to make a 40k barrier, lasting for 4 turns, or charge his entire body with demonic energy, increasing all of his physical stats by 2x for 4 turns, much like a berserker.

### Salazar Powers

Barrier. When Markus is unaware, or Salazar believes there to be a threat, Salazar throws up a demonic wall of energy, a 20k newton barrier to protect them. Using his magic himself instead of through a host leaves his mortal vessel tired, dropping the shield after it is struck, currently not powerful enough to hold it, regardless of how much damage it may have taken, a brief block. It currently has a 5 turn cooldown and leaves Salazar’s body exhausted, barely conscious

*Markus recharges 5k charge every 2 turns*

## Pact or Catalyst

Salazar, Symbiotic soul demon. Salazar is a fledgeling demon born on a harvest moon, foreshadowed by a massive slaughter of the oppressed and oppressors. Salazar pacted with Markus for survival, asking for his love and devotion, and eternal companionship as his first friend in the dangerous world. He grants magical power to enhance the natural strength Markus has, and he’s provided with food and warmth from being mortal with him.
