Race: Hylian
Origin: Holodrum
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Usually wears a black, hooded cloak. He has long, white hair that covers one eye, has red eyes with narrow irises, and a very pale skin complexion. Under the cloak is a simple black jumpsuit with a golden belt, with a red jewel in the buckle for decoration.
Height: 7'4
Weight: 171lbs
Build: Fairly skinny, but strong muscles are visible when the cloak does not obstruct the view of the jumpsuit.
Strengths: Any dark areas give immense strength to Seth. Attacks and objects solely with dark properties will not harm him, only heal him. Not only does he have an greatly-accelerated healing rate in dark areas (even when killed, his body will heal in these areas), but he can also manipulate shadows and dark energy at will, making it into anything from a safe bridge to a deadly ball of lightning capable of storming the area. He can also make an area with little light completely dark. He has superior ranged skill and agility.
Weaknesses: Any lit areas will greatly hinder Seth's ability to fight. He will become very tired if he walks into a lit area; while his ability to spread darkness will improve his battle ability, it will not bring it anywhere near back to peak performance in an area that is lit enough. This is his reason for wearing his cloak. Seth is also averse to light-based attacks due to the dark energy coursing through his veins; when he is hit by one, he will immediately be set aflame; this may also happen when he touches a light-based object or enters a lit enough area. He can take an unholy amount of punishment from non-light attacks, but he can also be stunned easily with a forceful direct attack (if it works). Also, attacks that hit his defenses hard enough can cause him to falter, as a result of his lfairly ight weight.
History: Seth is a beyond-notorious bounty hunter from Hyrule. Known to others only as the notorious Z, the very mention of his name can inspire intense fear. Not many have ever seen his true face, and those who did had very short futures. He very rarely removes his cloak or lowers his hood, not even while sleeping or eating. While Seth has completed many a mission, including many assassinations, thefts, and torture jobs, Seth often kills all those linked to the operations, including the employers. This helps keep the authorities off his trail. Few people are barely courageous enough to ask for his services as a result. Little is known about his past, other than that he seeks the ultimate power that would determine life and death in every village as he sees fit. Cruel, sometimes bloodthirsty, and never hesitant to even slaughter an entire village, which frighteningly enough is a hobby, Seth is a major source of crime and disorder throughout the world.
Weapons
-Crush Claws: Metal, oversized magical gauntlets in the form of claws. The magic qualities of the Crush Claws grant increased strength and arm-movement speed to the holder. Seth often uses them for blocking attacks as well as crushing skulls, although an attack with enough force on the claws when Seth defends with them might cause him to lose his balance.
-Dark Chain: A long, black chain with spikes on each link. The durability and power of the chain make for a handy weapon and is ideal for crossing chasms. The dark energy-charged nature of the chain prevents Seth from being harmed by it.
-Black Boots: Similar to the Iron Boots, but only weight-wise. In fact, these boots have opposite abilities of the Iron Boots; they allow for better speed and jumps, making deadly pounces a possibility.
-Spear Cannon: A spear-shooting gun. Once loaded, the spears are made into deadly projectiles. Not very useful for close combat, however.
-Biggoron's Sword: A two-handed sword made by Biggoron. He made it for Seth in exchange for sparing the poor Goron's life. The hilt is made especially for holding in Seth's Crush Claws, but he can still only use one hand; his augmented strength eliminates the weight issue, however. Seth's blade-wielding skill is beyond frightening, but he only uses his sword on the toughest opponents.
Spells
-Shadow Cannon: Thsi is Seth's most commonly used attack. He charges up dark energy into his claws, then fires the energy out like bullets. By charging this attack up, he can do one of three things; fire a barrage of dark energy bullets, fire a huge one, or fire a laser. The problem with the charging, however, is that it leaves him vulnerable while doing so.
-Shadow Ball: Seth's ability to draw darkness to him gives him a powerful attack spell. By forming dark energy into a big ball, he can do one of two things; throw the ball as a very potent explosive, or use it to spread lightning from the ball to storm the area. The strength of this attack depends on how much light is present; if there is more light than darkness, it will be weak, and vice-versa.
-Shadow Barrier: Seth can draw darkness to him and turn it into a strong defensive shield. Light-based attacks can penetrate it easily, but other attacks will take a while; it can be done, however. Lit areas will weaken the sheild.
-Shadow Form: Seth has the ability to turn into a shadow. He can move along floors, walls and even ceilings, as well as slip into the smallest cracks and openings. When outside of a wall, he takes the form of a big, floating, black fireball with a single eye and a wide mouth; his normal size in this form is two times that of his human form. If light is in the area, then this form will shrink depending on how much, at most falling to one half of his human size; he can grow up to four times his human size in a dark place. However, he takes much more damage from light-based attacks, and if hiding in a wall in a lit area, he is much easier to distinguish from the other natural shadows in the room. Other than that, he is normally invulnerable. But with increased defense comes decreased offense; in this form, Seth's attacks are ramming attacks and slamming into the ground for a shockwave; this shockwave is small, but possess enough force to send foes flying. His only other attack in this form is to shoot lightning from his eye at foes, although in comparison to his other abilities, this attack is rather weak. One irritating ability is the ability to use his body as an inconveinient obstacle for others. One drawback is that when his fiery form has to solidify slightly for a physical attack, he is vulnerable to physical impacts and other spells. Despite his lack of combat ability and bigger weakness to light-based attacks, Seth prefers this form more than his human body.
-Possession: While in Shadow Form, Seth can fly into an opponent and take over his/her body. When this happens, he gains all of the strengths and weaknesses of the host; light will only damage him if the host is weak to light. When Seth possesses someone, the only way to force him out is to exhaust or kill the unfortunate victim. Seth won't be harmed if he has to leave his host forcibly, however. One drawback, however, is that it takes a while for Seth to adjust to his new body, in which time he can easily be kicked out.
-Soul Siphon: Seth has at least one potent attack in Shadow Form. He can makes tentacles out of the fire of his form and drive them into others, sucking out their pure life force like a pump. He usually slams his foe(s) into the ground afterward to decrease the chances of retribution. He often switches into his human form after this to give him an edge in battle. Although sometimes, when he can't seem to latch onto anyone, Seth will just use these tentacles of black fire for melee attacks. One problem is that if he absorbs the life force of a light-based person, his essence will be distrupted and he will solidify enough for a wide barrage of non-light attacks to damage him; this only lasts for a short time, but bare in mind that the Shadow Form, though still fairly resistant to attack, is not as durable as his human form.
