⌈Appearance⌋
Erebus is, to say the least, a very easily recognizable person. He stands at 5'10" and is a slender-built person. Make no mistake however, he isn't slenderman thin, he still has muscle and fat to him. He has, like much of his kind, pale skin and very conspicuously purple eyes. His hair is, strangely enough, naturally styled in a way that seems to defy gravity itself. The most noticeable part him, other than his eyes, are the two tufts of hair on the sides of his head that go upwards of their own volition, reminiscent of cat ears.
Erebus, regardless of whether or not its in style, wears suits, ties, bowties, and the such. He seems to have a tendency to wear clothing with the colors purple and black. Overall, he seems to carry an air of maturity and intelligence with him.
⌈Personality⌋
Erebus is... an interesting person, to say the least. He for one, doesn't necessarily care for the labels of 'good' and 'evil'. He could care less what people call him, as long as he can still get things done. On that note, he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to get work done. If he needs to kill someone, so be it. If he needs to save someone, so be it. He doesn't let moral views get in the way of his work.
Calling him a 'villain' or 'heartless' however, would be a foolish thing to do. He has a heart, albeit he tends to have a lack of sympathy, but he still has a heart. He still loves, hates, feels lonely, and generally has all emotions expected from a human being. He's just not stupid, in his opinion, enough to let them be seen. He, through willpower, holds the expression of being bored, calm, cool, and collected. In layman's terms, he has a good poker face.
Erebus however, does have a life. He doesn't let his 'work' take over. He tends to spend a lot of his time reading books from libraries, adding to his own vast collection, playing piano, talking withhis five friends friends, studying psychology, and a lot more things. He does however, not like physical activities like sports very much.
Erebus is despite his vast knowledge in psychology, socially inept. He can manage to keep a good poker face up in social situations, but he gets nervous very easily. He can, if shown signs of affection, get flustered quite easily. To say the least, he's an introverted person. He tends to be the person that waits for others to come to him instead of coming to them, instead of going out and making friends himself. If he sees someone that interests him, he'll probably end up spending more time deciding whether or not he should bother with trying to talk to them than actually talking to them. Most people however, mistake this as a dislike of people. He doesn't dislike most people, he's just socially inept.
Erebus has a slightly volatile personality. He can be sarcastic, passive-aggressive, and slightly intimidating. This is however, mostly due to people not generally getting along with those of his kind. Sure, he does easily find people to be annoying, but he treats those people much worse. If you'd just met him, you might get the impression of meeting a snob who thinks he's better than everyone else. This is however, mostly just a defense mechanism.
Erebus has a slight... temper. He doesn't get angered at the slightest thing, but he does get angered when pushed far enough. When he's angered however, you should be increasingly careful. He seems to be very dark and grim, with shadows circling around him. The worse part of him however, is that he can think when he's angered. He can efficiently use his rage to fight, instead of fighting blindly. He doesn't randomly go around beating everything and everyone, he calculates his attacks very carefully. He's, to say the least, venomous when angered.
Erebus is, surprisingly enough, easy to scare. Or rather, surprise. This is however, not recommended. He has a tendency to.. attack anything that scares him. If you were to suddenly tap him on the back, you should expect him to at the very least twitch or at most punch you. He isn't a very courageous person, to say the least. He does however, not even try to remedy this reflex, seeing it as useful. Still, there's the very distinct possibility that he could hurt someone he cares about on accident... again.
⌈Likes⌋
Quiet, literature, stories, writing, psychology, dark places, intellectuals, chess, technology, and 'magic'.
⌈Dislikes⌋
Idiocy, most sports, light, loud noises, crowds, mistreated books, being lied to, and having anything malevolent done towards him.
⌈Equipment⌋
Erebus does not, for the most part, use physical weapons. He does however, have two needle-like knives that he likes to use when he can't quite use his abilities effectively.
⌈Abilities⌋
Erebus, like all of his kind, has the uncanny ability to manipulate darkness and all that it entails. Darkness manipulation however, is considered an art by many. As it its considered an art, there are specialties people have. Or at least that's how Erebus sees it. He's relatively, to others of his kind, skilled at the manipulation of darkness, but specializes in using others as puppets and moving through shadows.
⌈Strengths⌋
Manipulation - Erebus is, as was said before, skilled at manipulation. He can, through the use of his power, control others. He can also however, control others through mental means. No, he does not have telepathy or mind-control. He can manipulate others through the old fashioned way of using their fears, desires, and the such.
Intelligent - Erebus is by no means an idiot. He has a vast intelligence and can think of ways out of most situations, something that's useful in his line of business.
Night person - Erebus is, unlike many, a night person. He's most energetic at night, meaning that he works best at night. This gives him an advantage over those who prefer to sleep at night, and the ability to evade most Talpas with ease.
Quick - Erebus is, to counter his lack of strength, fast and agile.
⌈Weaknesses⌋
Ants - As much as this may sound strange, ants utterly terrify Erebus.
Physically weak - While Erebus can manipulate darkness and has a great intellience, he's physically weak. He wont be, if he's unable to use his manipulation of darkness and in a heavily lit room, able to escape any time soon.
Night person - Erebus is, unlike many, a night person. He's most energetic at night and not-so-energetic at daytime.
Light - Erebus, like many of his kind, dislikes light. It also, in large amounts, weakens him.
⌈Home⌋
Erebus doesn't 'live' in a specific place, like many of his kind. Instead, he prefers to go to places where his business has taken up residence, like many of his workers. If you're looking for him in a town, he'll most likely be at one of the Nyx business places or renting a room.
⌈Relationships⌋
Erebus is a solitary person, as is most of his race, but he does have workers. They tend to, for some strange reason, revere him, but that doesn't allow for 'friendships'. There's also the fact that they tend to be younger than him, as to allow for freshness of mind, a sense of adventure, and all the perks that come with being young.
⌈History⌋
Erebus was born to two Noxi parents, Khas and Voed, who uncharacteristically were social Noxi and lived in a village with Bellatores as the main inhabitants. The problem was however, that he was one of six Noxi in a village of 54 Bellatores. As good as one person may be, people as a whole usually are not. As such, Erebus and his parents were ocstracized by most of the village. His parents however, being rich, were left alone in public. They were talked about behind thei rbacks, but were otherwise left alone. Erebus however, being a child, was considered a pariah by most of the children of the village. He did have a friend, a Noxi girl, but otherwise had little social interaction. It was this, coupled with boredom and a love for books, that led him to begin reading books. He for the most part, was relatively fine. He passed his studies in the classroom for his kind the Bellatores school, a classroom with only two students and a teacher, with perfect scores.
Erebus grew up with his friend in the village, doing things that one would expect from a person like him. His quiet days however, didn't last very long. His friend, having had a smile that strecthed from ear-to-ear and a benevolent personality, ended her life. The details will not be elaborated upon, as to allow you to draw your own conclusions. The point is she, the child people assumed to be happy and care-free, ended her life. This came as a surprise to Erebus. It was also a reason for him to leave the village he had lived in for so long. He had, after the solemn burial, left with consent from his parents.
He began exploring the world and ended up, through some strange occurrences, starting up a business named 'Nyx', named after his friend. His business ended up, to the public, being a messenger system. He hired Noxi as messengers, using their affinity for travelling through shadows to his advantage. As such, the Noxi people became slightly more respected in the world, regardless of their previous standing. His business however, was also secretly one of information brokers. People could pay money for information, information they could not get otherwise. There are also rumors circulating that hits could be ordered on people, but that's just a rumor, right? Either way, his business boomed. It is still however, a relatively new business and has yet to reach a global level. You most likely wont hear of it if you were to move to the other side of the world.
Erebus however, decided to take a simple break. He decided to, once again, go exploring the world, after leaving his business in the hand's of someone he trusted of course.

Running by all those arid days
Where each day is the same
Sitting alone just one desk too far away from sunlight
"Well, what are you waiting for?"
As if it's quizzing me
Batting an eye lash at that textbook with no answers
Aah
If you wanted to know my grades
I guess I'd say "The same."
I don't know why they make these tests so very easy
While you smiled at me timidly
You sat right next to me
Keeping a grin all while you held closely such a bad grade
Out beyond the sky, I just can't help but sigh
Maybe it's because I see the world for all it is
"Isn't that too sad? The world is much more fun! "
Back then, you always seemed so glad
I just can't take you
Playing with a heart that only wants to disappear
Once again, I can't find a thing that makes me want to remain here
Ringing in a tone that only whispers " You're a cruel and callous fool"
And even then...I know it's kinda true
So even if a miracle occurred and somehow answered all of this
Surley in ten or twenty seconds I could figure just a bit
Even if I die right now I know that I will soon just be replaced
And then again, saying crazy things like that, isn't it just silly?
Flying by those airy days
Where each day is the same
When you were gone that space started making me uneasy
Well 'nuff said anyway, my test scores stay the same
Even alone I know all the answers to the problems
Aah
As I ran through those hazy days
There must have been a change
I couldn't see your tree in the forest of the problems
That shade of your flowing hair
That smile, without a care
It's likely that most of them will forget it in a heartbeat
That empty desk I'm by, and out the pane of sky
What is it that I am waiting to be echoed back?
Even though I tried, your words would pass me by
In the end, I didn't solve a thing at all
By getting just a little closer to you, I think I could find it out
Just so these days would never ever have to end without a doubt
Ringing in a tone that slowly died and will never restart again
And all at once, I know everything is gone
She couldn't take it
Living with a heart that only wants to disappear
Keeping her feelings hid behind a smile that stretched from ear to ear
Even when the smile had folded up and died from soaring from the window
Even then, I don't think that I'll forget, such a pretty smile
