Appearance:
Zalt is a demon who has a very humanoid appearance, with a few slight differences. He is a male Magi who stands at an average height of five feet eight inches, with shoulderblade length white hair, which has a certain blue tint to it. His ears are pointed like those seen in fantasy, namely of the elven people and his features are very handsome with a constantly clean shaven face. The Demon Magi wears clothing befitting a warrior from ancient times. He wears a pair of brown boots, dark blue slacks, with a brown leather chest plate and gloves. He also wears a long, dark blue cloak with the hood often pulled up to conceal his face. His skin is also a deathly pale and he never seems to tan.
Backstory:
From the moment he was born, people knew he was different. Born over two hundred and thirty seven years ago in a village so secluded, it's inhabitants knew nothing of the outside world at large, Zalt didn't have alot to do as a child except work in his parents' fields and go to the little red school at the top of the hill.
Most of the children of his hometown were normal, healthy Human children. However, Zalt was different. He was born with very hawklike features and pointed ears, his skin a constant palour no matter how much time he'd spend toiling away in the sun. As such, he wouldn't make many friends during his childhood, either being feared or ridiculed. For Zalt was far different than anyone ever thought.
One bright day, he was walking home from school when he was beset upon by a group of his peers. These children were quite cruel to the young boy, calling him "freak" or "ugly". Many times before the boy had run home crying, but not this time. His blood boiled...his eyes would glow red. Rocks would slowly rise from the ground and hit his assailants, striking then with furious vengeance. One of those rocks struck his biggest adversary right between the eyes...and he'd ended up killing the child.
His boring, yet once peaceful world would be shattered by this development. His own parents would disown him as they'd cast him out into the wilderness to fend for himself. Having no choice but to hunt his own food and defend himself, the boy would hone this dark power festering inside of him...and as birthdays would come and pass, he would notice that he didn't age as fast as the ones who'd ridiculed him.
One day, he would wander past the borders of the Secluded Village and onto a country road, where he would almost be hit by an eighteen wheeler. It was horrifying for the young boy and the driver alike...but as his fear increased, so did his hold over his powers. Just as he would almost be crushed by the truck, he'd narrow his feral red eyes, white hair flowing in the wind. The grill would groan as it bend inward, the truck coming to a bone shattering halt and flipping over Zalt completely.
Soon, word would spread of a "Devil Boy" wandering the countryside and tales of his horrific powers would be whispered amongst the media. Birthdays passed...more and more...and Zalt would find himself growing more detached from humanity. All that would matter to him would be power...absolute power and revenge over those who had wronged him.
He'd delve deeper into the black arts, his telekinetic prowess strengthening with each passing year. It would soon become apparent to the now eighteen year old man that he was never human at all. He would read one of the old books, he would find out a darker truth. He was a Demon, adopted by a family of humans after being found on the edge of their forest. However...further investigation would reveal his true nature...he was the Demon Magi of Funiyama Pass.
He'd spend years of his life, growing stronger. Destroying villages, killing those who ridiculed them, building his home from their bones. However, he would soon find himself growing bored in the boneshack in the woods. So he'd once again pore over the ancient text of his people to find a place where he could feel at home. One name would stand out to Zalt.
Makai. Land of the demons.
He'd study further into his roots and find out that his kind were able to travel to this world he'd studied. And so, one dark night, he'd prepare a blood sacrifice as per the ritual he'd read about had called for. The portal would open upon his chanting of the sacred verses and his sacrifice of the calf...and so, Zalt would dissappear from the human world.
It's been over two hundred years since he terrorized the world of the humans, choosing instead to flourish in the dimension of the demons. He is a shadow amongst his people for now...but perhaps he has decided to make himself known?
