Blackshot

[b]Name:[/b] Edward "Ed" Cole
[b]Alias:[/b] Blackshot
[b]Age:[/b] 36
[b]Nationality:[/b] American
[b]Appearance:[/b] 6'1", possesses glowing green eyes and dark hair, and is well-built. Rarely do others see him without his costume, however.
[b]Costume:[/b] A dark ensemble. He wears a black cloak over a suit of flexible black armor, and wears a gray mask that completely covers his face apart from the green eyes. The left arm is cursed, and as such is glowing and monstrous compared to the rest of his (ambiguously human) body.
[b]Powers and Abilities:[/b] Blackshot is cursed with demonic powers. He can teleport, become one with the shadows, utilize hellfire, and is armed with his special demonic six-shooter. All of these abilities make him an extremely deadly mercenary, combined with the fact that he was already gifted in warfare [i]before[/i] gaining these abilities and could've easily been one of the best without powers. Now, well, he's a force to be reckoned with.

[b]Bio:[/b]

Edward "Ed" Cole was born in a poverty-stricken area in San Diego. His mother was a crack-addict, and his father... he honestly doesn't even know. This left Ed to fend for himself against the many hardships in life. After graduating high school, Ed decided to leave the life behind and join the military. He became a Marine, and was gifted in the art of combat (his history in shootings definitely helped get him experience). He gunning down terrorists and criminals like he was playing a video game. Eventually, after five years of service he left the Marines and became a mercenary. If he was going to use his talents in death, he would use them for profit.

That, and after seeing that the world he knew before the war was only marginally better than the one he knew in it, Ed formed a low opinion of life in general.

He did this for seven years, and it was a very good run. Ed became known as the Six-Shooter, due to his proficiency with the revolver that he uses to kill his targets. One day, Ed was tasked with eliminating a "loose end" by an unknown man. This lead to him traveling to Eastern Europe, where he located his target. It was a frail old woman. At night, Ed broke into her home, where she was sitting on her chair. The woman sat there still, calm and smiling.

"I knew someone would come for me eventually." The woman said.

"Nothing personal, it's just business." Ed said.

"Of course, if you wish to kill me and send me to the other world, I won't stop you. Just know this, if you go through with it, you'll find the curse upon you for the rest of your days."

"I'll take that risk, goodbye."

Shot dead right there. She died smiling, knowing that her assassin would carry the curse that's haunted her family for generations.

It wasn't instant, but it also wasn't long before Ed found out her family was cursed with magic from an ancient time. Demonic magic, and now as her killer he was the one cursed. His left arm became monstrous, his eyes glowed green, he was in a state of constant paranoia as he could hear voices in his head, he couldn't sleep without nightmares, and the thought of the other world taking over him was very real. However, if there was any solace, the magic used to curse him also made him much more powerful. Given a set of abilities that made him a force to be feared, him killing the woman, whose name he still doesn't know, signed him a contract with the demons of the other world.

Now, Ed must carry out the bidding. He still works as a mercenary, under the name of Blackshot. Now one of the world's most dangerous mercenaries, Blackshot has set up in Titan City where he works for the ones willing to pay the most. It isn't just for the money however, he must also kill enough people to satisfy the demons, lest his soul be claimed forever.

as a hero, a vigilante. as a villain...well it looks to be a bit of both. COT's nebulous alignment system will give your character a lot of freedom to play the way you want.

I'm excited to see where his journey takes him in Titan City and how he navigates the challenges ahead while trying to reconcile his past and his present.
