Current appearance description entails that of a flaming skeleton (no, this is not a joke). His height has remained the same, but his shoulders are unquestionably broader. Possibly just a lack of slouching. Current weight is unknown. Usually seen wearing a black leather bikers jacket, gloves, boots, and a pair of dark grey jeans with spiked shoulders, arm bracers, knuckles, belt, and boot cuffs. Subject is confirmed to sometimes alter appearance with different apparel, most notably being a trench coat, though the jacket seams to be a favorite.
Powers:
- Near Invulnerability- With no major organs to damage, no tissue to injure, and unbreakable bones, there isn't much that can harm Nick now. He is believed to have immortality and no longer needs food, water, sleep, or even air. The only thing that could injure him is an attack of a mystical nature. Weapons of the mortal realm are useless.
- Hellfire Projection- Nicks "body" is covered in flames that have the ability to burn not just flesh, but the soul as well. These flames that he can generate from any part of him only seem to burn those he wants them to, leaving others to be completely unfazed. This mystic fire burns with no recordable temperature, as it simply destroys anything the caster of which wills it to. Meaning that it can predictably melt anything. Only objects shielded from dark mystical energies can resist this effect. He is known to create walls of these flames, cause spontaneous combustion, and can make any weapon he wields utilize this effect, including guns.
- Fire Manipulation- The Subject has displayed the ability to control existing flames to a minor degree, directing them or even "grabbing" the flames as if they were solid. Nick also appears to be able to cause sudden explosions of sheer heat capable of melting steel with a mere touch.
- Inhuman Strength- Nick has strength capable of lifting over 25 tons, effectively making him worthy of the title of super strength. This is 15 more tons than what Spider Man can currently lift, and 5 tons more than Spider Man's highest recorded.
- EMF Distortion- As concluded by various studies into the paranormal field, the Subject emits such a high EMF field as to cause malfunctions and distortions in electrical equipment. This can range from making computers freeze up, lights flicker, and even causing malfunctions in cameras and guided targeting equipment. This ability does not appear to be fully controllable on his part and is possibly just the byproduct of his presence. This is perhaps his only advantage against particularly techno-savvy enemies, as it means that most weapons that require a lock-on are mostly useless. It is also the reason why we have lost all ability to trace the Subject's movements.
- Magic Resistance- Possibly due to his connections with an ancient Primordial Demon, Nick has shown resistance to all mystical forms of manipulation. Meaning that even though this is his only known way to receive damage, a fight with him is still not an easy victory.
- Seeing Innocent Blood And Hearing It's Call- The ability to see spilled blood of innocent people long after all traces have vanished, both on people and the environment.
- Vengeance- This manifestation of the Ghost Rider has the ability to increase it's power based on the level of sin he's surrounded by. The ability seams to be extremely taxing and can lead to a major cash after it's effects have worn off.
- Penance Stare- Looking into the eyes of the Ghost Rider, those who've spilled the blood of the innocent feel every once of pain they've ever inflicted on others, all at once. Most of the time, a human victim is left as little more than a quivering, screaming mass and is usually institutionalized. The ability is non-lethal to humans, but as been recorded as being fatal to demonic beings. This ability is unable to effect those without souls (excluding demons), those that are blind, and those who are mentally unstable to begin with.

Weaknesses:
- Demon's Bane- Subject is vulnerable, though resistant, to paranormal inter-dimensional manipulating ener- Oh screw it. "Magic". Any demonic entities or other beings capable of manipulating this supernatural force is capable of causing harm to Nick, possibly killing him. Unsure if death is possible, but unconsciousness is confirmed.
- His Looks- Due to the Subject's "unique" appearance, it is likely that anyone who sees him will consider him hostile. If I may be allowed to speak freely, your not going to see a six foot walking skeleton with flaming eyes and instantly think "my savior".
- Spirit of Vengeance- The Subject's abilities seam to compel him to find those who've spilled innocent blood and bring them to his own form of justice, typically via the "Penance Stare". It is believed that he audibly hears these "screams", to the point of almost maddening obsession. Once the Subject has seen the blood spilled, he thinks of nothing else aside from vengeance.
- Social Outcast- Subject's background clearly dictates that any relationships he has will be loose at best, with possible paranoia and desertion.
- Innocent Blood- The majority of the Subject's powers stem from facing an opponent that has taken innocent lives, whether physically of inadvertently. In the advent of an opponent that has done no such thing, his Vengeance, and his Hellfire Projection will be useless. Though the event of such an encounter is extremely unlikely, said opponent would assuredly have the upper hand. It should be noted that these weaknesses only imply to "living" foes, or rather foes that have souls.
- Unstable- The Subject's mental stability is questionable as he seams too leap from mild social displacement to extreme anger and then to deep set depression. This makes him extremely unpredictable and hard to trust.
- The Demon, Zarathos- In the end, the Ghost Rider is merely an avatar of an ancient demon older than time, which fed on the sins of mortals. He is currently believed to be dormant within the Subject, though it is unknown if he may ever wake. Subject is never to be terminated, as it is theorized that his death may allow the demon to re-emerge into our realm. And that would be very bad......
- Family Bond- This is by far his greatest weakness. Being the only thing he has left, his family is his Achilles tendon. If anything were to happen to them, the effect on the Subject would be catastrophic.
(I wanted to list a few Ozzy songs, but after a while I realized I was listing like.... all of them. So nearly any Ozzy song can be considered part of this list]
