~ Johann Nomdedeu ~
Age: 26 | Weight: 271 lbs | Height: 6'4" | Hair Color: Black | Eye Color: Clear gray
~Point of Origin~
New York
~Personality~
Johann is somewhat melancholic, pained by his lack of memories. But that doesn't deter him from continuing moving forward. He likes to make up for what he lost by making the most of opportunities he's given. Most likely due to the nature of the daemon he merged with, he has several traits that are reminiscent of it. He is loyal to a fault, but that loyalty must be earned, however, that doesn't stop him from being friendly. Those he is loyal to, he'll feel the need to protect to his utmost extent, no matter the risk. Despite not being fully hot-headed, he isn't very cautious of his actions either, certainly not being a man of plans himself. He is also quite perseverant and determined.
~History~
Johann's first true memory is being on a plane. He vaguely remembers voices talking to him, and him talking back. He always assumed those voices were his parents. Not that it matters, as the next memory he has is most people in the plane fading away, most likely including the pilots, since the plane went out of control. Johann remembers a big chain of noises, ending in a loud bang. It was then that it all faded to black.
When he came to, pain spikes hit him all over his body. He was far from a doctor, but he could tell he had broke several bones, and multiple cuts of varying severity, as well as internal organ damage. Was he going to die? It most likely seemed like it. It was then that a scary sight showed itself in front of him. A ghastly wolf looking creature, mostly wrapped in chains. Johann was to hurt to run, but it wasn't needed, something had happened to the wolf as well. It was limping slowly towards him. The creature also had several wounds on it, leaving a trail of blood as it moved. After what felt like an eternity, they both were face to face. Based on its look and demeanor, Johann understood a message from the chained beast: "Together, we can continue living". Johann had no choice but to accept. The beast acknowledged it, and chains wrapped around him. Johann felt multiple stings, and it all faded to black once again.
Some time later, he woke up in the base of a nearby group of survivors. They explained they were stationed near the airport, and saw the crash. They also saw what they assumed was the daemon merging with him, which considering his injuries, it was the reason he survived. They asked Johann about him, and it hit him that his memories were gone. The group tried for a while to see if they could make him recover anything, to no avail. Having not even knowing his name, they all decided that it was better to give him a name. After some digging around, they figured the flight he was in came from Johannesburg, and in the remains of his charred passport was the last name Nomdedeu. And thus, the memory-less person from the crash plane took the name Johann Nomdedeu. They never figured out his birthday, only that he was 16 when they found him.
Years passed, and Johann lived on in this new, desolate world. He stayed for a long while with the group that rescued him, but slowly, resources ran scarce. The group had to begin wandering through the dangerous roads of this new world, slowly losing members, until only Johann remained. By the time Johann reached Daybreak, the only thing left from his group was the sturdy mask with reactive eyes that one of the smart girls from the group had given him as a present. Now he acts as a hunter and explorer. Given his tasks and abilities, he was given the moniker Steel Hound.
~Abilities~
Enhanced senses. Great strength and endurance. Most importantly though, he can manifest steel chains from his body or his nearby surroundings, and move them at will with ease. They can end on sharp spikes if desired. His hair can spike and spread like a mane.
~Weapon of Choice~
His chains. Occasionally firearms, but he's not very good with them
~Daemon~
Demi - Beast Class
A large, fierce looking wolf. Its body is wrapped in chains that move around constantly around the beast to shield it. They can also extend to ensnare victims, whip them, or stab them. It is also a relentless hunter, thanks to his amazing senses, accompanied with immense strength, endurance, speed, and a particularly fearsome jaw and claws. Given it has enough energy, the wolf can also regenerate from wounds at a fast pace in exchange for his stamina. Johann has yet to gain the full extent of the wolf's power.
