Personality: Mac Cogadh is an honorable person. He has an unwillingness to kill foes who are not a threat to him and is disgusted by the very idea of killing an opponent when they are not at full strength. Mac Cogadh has a very serious attitude. He tends to speak only when necessary, and even then, tends to say only what absolutely needs to be said. He is known to smile only rarely, and typically only either in battle or in anticipation of one. Beneath his stoic exterior, Mac Cogadh is quick to anger and can be quite fearsome when provoked. Despite being quick to anger, however, he has does have a great deal of control over his temper and is only rarely enraged to the point of actually losing control. He is known to relish combat, though he is known to dislike winning through dishonorable or underhanded means. He is also known to despise using stealthy means to achieve his ends, preferring open conflict to deception or subtlety and especially hating the idea of assassinating a foe. Mac Cogadh can also be somewhat belligerent and is known to sometimes lose himself to the thrill of battle. Despite his honorable tendencies, he is phenomenally brutal in combat, and can be quite vindictive if he has been wronged by an opponent.

Allegiance: To the thrill of battle
Starting Planet: Zairne (Deep Space)
Appearance: Mac Cogadh is a tall guy with a barrel chest. His armor that he has doesn’t do much. His father gave it to him and is basically decorations worn for battle. He has the face of a demon on his right shoulder pauldron and the bone of a spine of another worm. He sports a metal gloved right arm and his left arm was cut off in a fighting practice, which was the restored by a mechanical arm and is also covered with an extra layer of metal. His legs are also covered in metal.
Backstory: Mac Cogadh’s parents met in Age 1550. His mother is a demon who tricked a human to fall in love with her, but eventually showed her true image in which the human was angered but still loved her the same. The couple were fighters and participated in various underground battles. Eventually, they got married in Age 1553 and moved off-world, due to the militaristic organization that took control of Earth. The couple went to a planet far from all the chaos and fighting that was going on in the Universe, not expecting that one day they would have to fight again. In the meantime, the couple birthed a son in Age 1554, who was mostly demon. The couple trained the child to fight and fend for himself, which in turned gave the child a sense for the love of battle and killing, but not entirely blood thirsty. The boy grew up and began to learn how to use various weapons, including swords, in which he accidentally got his left arm cut off around Age 1574. In that same year, he had a replacement mechanical arm so he could continue to train and fight, not like he wasn’t doing that to begin with. Mac Cogadh was also told of his inheritance, being part demon and human and therefore belonging to Earth and Makai, but mostly Makai due to his dominant demon genetics. In Age 1586, a demon that had a Majin tattoo upon his forehead invaded the peaceful planet Tarvos and began a two-year conquest, fighting all the inhabitants of it and mostly killing all of them till finally they stopped. Mac Cogadh and his parents were part of the two year-long battle, the hybrid losing his sword in the battles and witnessing the brutal deaths of his parents via getting their spines ripped out. The Majin-tattooed demon finally took control of the planet and named it Zairne, and also began to put the inhabitants to work as slaves. Not liking how the ruler mistreated the people, Mac Cogadh vowed that he would bring a balance to the world, wanting everyone to be happy. And so, in secret, the hybrid continued to train and struggled with either walking through the void to get help from Makai or taking a Spacepod to Earth.

Roleplay Example:
The hybrid was called again by the demon. Mac Cogadh went reluctantly, not wanting to have an audience with the tyrannical ruler. The demon-human creature did everything that was asked of him. He helped cultivate the planet to the tyrant’s liking, which included destroying half the forests, carving his face into a mountain, building a castle along with a fort, and letting the deceased go unmourned and unburied as it was a tradition of his human father to do. The hybrid was escorted by four armed guards that were apparently under the control of the tyrant, another thing that the evil bastard did to the inhabitants of the planet. If there were any of them that were planning an uprising, they were immediately mentally broken and put under the mindless enslavement of this powerful demon. Mac Cogadh hoped that this would not be his fate. Upon entering the throne room that the tyrant made for himself, Mac Cogadh was pushed forward. The hybrid walked towards the false ruler and knelt before him, showing a false allegiance to the “king.” The ruler was bare chested, showing the cuts and battle scars he had acquired from the many years he lived. He wore a single hood to mask most of his face along with a crown made of silver; he wore silver clasps around his wrists and leather boots; his eyes glowed red and he always was smiling, showing his pointed crooked teeth. The tyrant drew in a breath and let out a his before “speaking.”
‘There are only a few reasons why I don’t kill you now,’ the demon echoed inside of Mac Cogadh’s head, which was the tyrant’s formal way of speaking because he never had the capability of speaking. ‘The first reason is that you are a hybrid and can be sold for a valuable price for a mutt like you. The second is that you have done everything that I asked of you, perfectly like a dog.’ Mac Cogadh’s anger was rising inside of him, wanting to lash out at the tyrant, but he controlled himself. ‘The third is that you will be a valuable asset to me one day. I can tell that you are a strong one, and you can help me take over Makai, Earth, Namek, all the planets in this universe. I see that you are the only one who has done what I ask out of willpower alone, and therefore I give you this choice on your own behalf. You can join me now in this undertaking, or come to me at a later time once I have the final preparations to do what I want, or stand aside and watch powerless as the universe falls under my heel. What is your option, hybrid?’
Mac Cogadh looked up into the tyrant’s eyes, feeling the rage inside of him and wanting to give him a sly remark. “I will have to think upon it and get back with you on this decision,” Mac Cogadh said in a well thought out and slow response, making sure that the words that came from his mouth were carefully chosen and carried much weight. Mac Cogadh saw the tyrant nod in response and waved his hand for him to leave. Immediately the guards grabbed the hybrid and hauled him to his feet, forcing Mac Cogadh out of the castle.
The hybrid walked outside of the fort’s armaments and out into the wilderness, making sure he was nowhere near civilization for his outburst of energy. He screamed a bloodcurdling scream of anger and began to regain his composure. “I need to do something!” he growled and spat. “I don’t know what I could do to help my own planet besides killing and dethroning this monster. I will have to seek help one day. But for now, I must get stronger.”
