"HAHAHAHA! You will never make it in the face of the Count!"
Name: Erebus Apollyon
"Refer to me as the Count Erebus, fool!"
Age: Unknown- Appears 19
"Gah, my old form was much more monstrous!"
Gender: Male
"Shall I devour your useless eyes?"
Theme Song (Optional):
Side (Circus/Synchronicity):
"Why should I be a do-gooder when I can join the bloodier side of the fight?!"
Role: Gluttony
"Bet you didn't see that, huh?!"
Personality: "I am the Count, and you will not refer to me with anything other than that!" Erebus is...well, insane. As he is Gluttony, he has a desire to devour things- No, he doesn't just devour food, he literally tries to devour anything in sight unless Alistair tells him not to. But aside from that, Erebus thinks of himself as a vampire of sorts- Yes he drinks blood- and loves referring to himself as Count Erebus.
Strangely enough, Erebus is very loyal to Circus and to Alistair- although he has a habit of going off on his own when he's not being kept in the lower dungeons of the Sky Castle. All in all, Erebus is...an insane, merciless, and awful monster.
Appearance: "Fear my monstrous form!" Erebus stands at 6"7. He has black hair usually tied up into a messy ponytail, and gleaming yellow eyes that flash red when he goes berserk in the middle of a fight. Under his right eye, he has a strange circle design, and they are the same color as his eyes. Around his neck, he wears a black, scarf-like collar with a yellow arrow on the right side. He wears a gray shirt, with the sleeve on the left reaching the half of his arm while the other barely extends past his shoulder. The neck has a deep, rounded neckline and round cuts at the sides, which reveal the long-sleeved black shirt he wears underneath. He wears dark trousers that are stuffed into his grey boots. As accessories, he's most frequently shown wearing yellow headphones that have two stripes.
History:
Erebus is probably a cheat of sorts. He was originally the First Gluttony- But he was slain in battle by the First Diligence. He died alongside the First Pride, where Alistair came to claim the leftover powers of his Entity. There, Alistair found his soul, and took it, retreating into the Sky Castle. His soul was kept in Lionel's Vault, letting the Second War pass before Alistair reclaimed it. With the help of the shadows provided by the Third Envy, Serpent, Alistair crafted a new vessel for Erebus. But the vessel took a long time to make, and as such, he was being crafted inside the lower dungeons of the Sky Castle. Once he was fully revived, Erebus swore his loyalty to the Circus and to Alistair, and as of now, he has no real enemy- Every member of Synchronicity is his enemy.
Most of the time, he is found in the dungeons, laughing to himself and feeding on whatever Alistair decides to throw into his cell. However, as Synchronicity approaches and the Virtues, past and present have started to appear and pop up from everywhere, it seems that Erebus has to be released soon...
Insignia (Sin/Virtue only): It seems that Erebus's insignia is actually the two circles underneath his right eye. Anyone who becomes his Catalyst has it somewhere on their body.
Weapons/Abilities:
Erebus is one of the main, heavy-hitters of the Circus as of the present. He doesn't usually need any kind of weapon, except his handgun.
Browning Hi-Power SFS Crimson Trace - Erebus uses a Browning Hi-Power firearm as a weapon. It features an adjustable rear sight and its single-action trigger ensures better control, leading to a faster draw and accuracy rating. There is a tradeoff in reload time but, he usually just empties it to provide a distraction as he closes in on an opponent. Nevertheless, the two types of bullets he carries are also enhanced to deal damage to Entities. For damage and long-range purposes, he arms it with 9X19mm Parabellum cartridges with an effective range of more than 50 meters. For stopping purposes, he arms it with .40 S&W instead. It can carry ten rounds of the .40 cartridges and 13 rounds of the 9X19 Parabellum.
Raw Strength - Erebus, again, is a powerful man. As he is artificial and does not use a human body, Erebus has almost-superhuman strength- He can easily tear doors off of their hinges, rip poles out of the ground and the like. However, he only uses his raw strength whenever he has to brawl, which is something he does all the time. He restricts himself from performing superhuman feats in public- "They're too troublesome," he claims.
Defensive Shell - Again, because Erebus is made from the shadows of a Sin with the purpose of tanking, he has a very tough outer shell. Enhanced bullets don't have that much of an effect on him- like Izumi's enhanced weapons-, Rin's pistols have no effect on him at all, but her sniper can damage him, and Leona's arrows can scar him a bit. However, again, his shadows come into play as he regenerates his wounds afterwards. However, mentally he's not that strong.
Snake Familiars - Since he was made from Serpent's shadows, he has the ability to create familiars shaped like snakes that can be used for offensive purposes or simply for scouting. Despite being the creator of the familiars, the moment Serpent steps in, the snakes rush to her immediately. Because of this Erebus finds himself having to create familiars for Serpent- And he frequently teases her about it.
Trivia (Optional):
- Erebus is most usually found talking with Serpent in his free time if she's not patrolling.
- Because of his wild tendencies, Alistair keeps him in a straitjacket in the lower dungeons of the Castle.
- In the lower dungeons, to keep him occupied, the Sins usually leave him food or a few gadgets so that he will quiet down.
- His face claim is Dark Konoha/Snake of Clearing Eyes/Kuroha from Kagerou Project.
