Spoiler: click to toggle

OCCUPATIONFREELANCE; nana has done many things in his time. his skills range from child care to playing hit man for some company or organization... he actually prefers tending to children seeing as he's a giant softy toward them, though he rarely does any work involving large amounts of water. anything with boats, pools, or water parks is a no-no.
RESIDENCYAPARTMENT; something simple and clean. nana doesn't carry many things with him, so the apartment he currently lives in looks almost as bland as before anyone moved in. the sole items are a worn couch, a twin bed, a small table with a chair and some papers on it, and a strange cross necklace... however, said necklace is kept within a small safe in his home. the safe has an ominous feeling about it and smells of burning. there is no other way to describe the stench but that.


ABILITIESEQUIPMENT
TRANSFORMATION; the ability to transform into his hellhound appearance. it has an almost ancient, wolf-like appearance with a thick built. a pair of horns resembling a ram's jut out in front of his ears, curling about and hopefully showing his skull is thicker than it may appear. likewise his neck is thick enough with the bones positioned correctly to sustain a heavy hit to the head. he is almost the size of a horse in this form, as well, reaching almost 14 hands. that's over 4 1/2ft at the shoulder, alone. his fur is black and, should you venture to touch it, will rub off soot. his coat smells of a certain...burning. it's highly unpleasant seeing as it isn't like sweet, burning marshmallows. instead, you can catch the different smells of anything burning from coal to hair to flesh. the smell would be enough to drive off most to begin with, aside from his man-eater appearance... this also means his speed can reach a similar speed to a horse at 40-43km/h and has a good amount of strength to him. The strength would likely equate to him knocking over a sedan, or pull something with the weight of roughly 5,000-10,000lbs. This is the weight the average horse can pull, though Nana probably maxes out without preparation at 8,000lbs. This, of course, applies to anything on wheels. The weight he can carry on this form reaches roughly 150-200lbs... However, carrying more than usually that will tire him out quickly. Think of him as just a big, fuzzy horse with sharp teeth. His body can work the same considering his size, those these numbers typically mean nothing. He does not pull things, nor does he tend to carry anything on his back considering it will only turn black from his fur. Just understand that he can throw his weight around, which averages in this size at around 1,000lbs. He usually doesn't try to, really, but don't just think he's incapable or slow, either.

HEALING; only in his dog form do his wounds heal at a rate of 2-3 times faster than a human's. this means bleeding stops quickly, though bad enough wounds will keep him from transforming back into a man until they are healed enough. if he is badly wounded in human form then he cannot transform into a hellhound. unfortunately, as well, the human body tends to heal much more slowly than a human's. almost twice as slow as normal, so if the wound is light enough then he might transform to quicken the healing process... while it is difficult to kill a hellhound, he is not without mortal pain.
WHISTLE; an object given to him ages ago. the sound it makes is not one heard by most creatures, even dogs. it can, however, debilitate nana to the point of either driving him away or making him submit under the constant blare. it is a weakness he carries with him intending to give it to someone he can trust.

NECKLACE; the necklace he keeps locked away belongs to his "brother". the man is pronounced dead, though a part of his soul remains in the necklace. nana desires to find a suitable host for it, someday, and bring his brother back. the only reason that this works is because the necklace was a belonging of the other man's before he died and became a hellhound like nana. they are not related, but met and became allies some time later around the 1600's. it gives no enhancements to nana.

HEADPHONES; which he wears around his neck to play music constantly. this helps him to relax... music calmed the beast, after all.

WEAKNESSES
WATER; large bodies of water, or a constant spray can weaken or drown nana. drowning happens when he is exposed for too long and he reverts back to human form. in this body you can effectively drown the man and force the hellhound away for a long time until he finds another suitable host... otherwise, it can weaken or stop him. putting a body of water he cannot jump across between you and him is a great deterrence, as is just hopping on a boat and sailing away.

GHOST/DEMON WEAKNESSES; salt, pure iron, devil traps, anything you can think of that would normally do damage to a ghost or a demon will work on him. these things are not very well known amongst those who do not study in the supernatural, but if you do then be aware that you can drive him into his human form with pure iron by hitting him hard enough or deterring him with salt.

WHISTLE; as stated, the whistle is a noise that very few can here- if any- but will stop nana in his tracks. he is currently in possession of it, though will give it to someone close he deems fit to help judge his actions.

HIGH-PITCHED NOISES; other high-pitched sounds, depending on the frequency, will likely cause confusion. while it is unlike the specific whistle which will cause him to back off, other noises are capable of altering his hearing and/or his already poor sight.

LEFT EYE; his left eye is lighter in color, showing the poor vision. he has many scars on his left side because of this and has to rely on his hearing or smell to protect that side. this makes quiet approaches easy. slow enough movements are not seen, but quick ones are noticed as blurs.


PERSONALITYHISTORY



Afanasiy is a curious male to say the least. He grew up in a world where things like cannibalism, murder, and thievery were common. Even if he seems gentle by nature, many even among his own friends would still call him a monster and tread carefully around him. His natural charm and sweet demeanor are easy to relax around, but there is a reason music is constantly playing through those headphones he wears.

Nana, at first glance, can look rather terrifying. Between his scars, height, and build, he is often assumed to be a very violent man… And that would be the correct answer. Nana gets enjoyment out of bringing harm to others, especially when they have gone out of their way to hurt anyone he considers close. The pack mentality is strong, making him overreact often to threats and weapons pointed towards his friends, his brother, or his "mate". He would gladly tear out their livers with his hands, or even their throats with his teeth. In this manner he can be considered short-tempered and extremely volatile.

However, he is usually rather calm. Curling up for a nap with him while he's lazing about the town (which he may often do) is not uncommon, nor is it considered dangerous. He is very kind toward his others and especially children which he favors. Something about the smaller creatures calm him.

Now, you may be wondering, "Why is a hellhound so nice?" The answer is: there is a moment in time after years of being a monster where settling down is not uncalled for... Why, though? Well, "hellhound" is the name of what he is, but the definition might differ from what you think... He is a creature created through ancient rituals, rather than the fires of hell. He is still very human in many ways, though initially after the ritual he was incapable of having any real thoughts of his own and often sought to do nothing more than kill... Though the process left him dormant for roughly 600+ years. After long enough he regains piece by piece of his humanity and desires more than a warm, breathing snack.

875-900
Nana was born specifically on Dec 5, 875. This was just a few years before the beginnings of Kievan Rus'. He was born into a Slavic tribe, though his parents were rather detached from the workings of their people. Nana grew up as a rather wild child, gaining the scar over his eye in a hunting accident when he was 9. Since then he has gained a number of scars including one at the corner of his lips on the left, a large scar running down the left side of his neck, and many more littering his arm, torso, and legs.

It was some years later than strangers visited the tribe. They sought out their strongest man, and many pointed to the man Afanasiy had become. He towered over most, and even his father who was only 5'9". At 6'7" he was already considered a monster even to his own family, though he still displayed a kindness that seemed almost unnatural for his appearance.

The strangers took Nana and asked some simple questions: did he desire power, did he want to live forever, and did he fear death?

The answers were yes, yes, and no.

The ritual took 6 years... Afanasiy went through six years of pain, torture, and inhuman rituals... It ended in him becoming nothing more than a sleeping body...

900-1500
Dormant. 600 years.

1500-1600
Afanasiy awoke to a much different world than he remembered, though it wasn't as though he cared. Findings state that the earliest sighting of a hellhound was in 1127, though many were recorded during the 1500's. Nana is no exception, though he has little recollection of this time. For roughly 200 years he acted solely on instinct, giving a name to the hellhound or "shuck" as some called him. A black dog.

1600-1900
During this time Afanasiy met Tikhon, another hellhound formed by the same ritual. This one was born during the black plague, and he carried with him a cross necklace which he had put part of his soul into. They were able to connect, even if their personalities were nearly opposite from each other, and remained close. They eventually just called each other brothers and have ever since.

Tikhon, however, met an untimely "end" after he and Nana were thrown into a fight with people who knew the rituals of old. After the confrontation, they managed to drown Tikhon. Nana was only able to take the necklace and run.

1900-NOW
Nana has been living on his own ever since, determined to find a way to bring back his brother. He has even calmed down over the years, steadily becoming more human-like and further adapting to life. One might consider him a wise, old coot by now, but that is far from the truth. His personality is still almost juvenile, and his knowledge only extends to what he has directly had contact with. He has only basic schooling and whatever else he was taught for certain jobs. He still relies much on instinct, but that isn't always a bad thing in his case.

He has come to Hyakuji in search of answers considering its history. Perhaps he will make use of the people he meets here... Make friends, get a job, settle down... Hopefully, most of all, revive his brother.

THERE IS NO SPOON

Thank you for your profile!

I have looked over everything, and it looks fine to me, the only part I would like some clarification on is his strength as a hell hound.
An example of what is the most he can do with his strength will suffice.

Once that is done, please post a reply so that I can review the profile again, thank you!
