Rutilus Maculosus Lupus

Rutilus Macolosus Lupus 赤い狼, Latin for Red-Spotted Wolf, Japanese for Red Wolf) is an old and uncommonly powerful Daemon, born from the anguish of an abandoned and mistreated dog. He dates back 326 years. In the late sixteenth century. About year 1684 to be exact. Rutilus main form is a twisted version of that very same dog that gave him life. And its sorrow and anguish has feeded Rutilus with a dire hatred for Humanity. As well as his love for dogs.

Wolf Form
''The beast infront of you resemble a large dog, maroon spots and markings are visibly on the creatures back, head and tail. His fur is black like ebony. The red patterns and his gleaming maroon eyes the only thing that betrays him as something supernatural. His tail, thick and bushy like that of a fox is noticeably maroon at the tip. His head is marked by a single red-crescent in which the ends point down to his muzzle. Fangs bared in a vile grin...''

Human Form
''The man seems to wear red slacks that reach all the way down to his bare feet. He wears nothing on his upper body. Leaving a muscular body exposed. Along with some strange maroon tatoos that start at his right chest, before then extending down his arm before finally ending at his abs. His hair is as wild as his body, and is colored maroon; Though in fits of rage it bleaches noticeably. His lips are always split in a psychothic grin..''

Personality
''Rutilus is vengeance, wrath and hatred personified. Though he may appear lazy, laid back and perhaps even somewhat friendly at times. His moods change at alarming rates, and when they do. It usually has bloody results. He's excessively brutal in battle. And though not outrightly sadistic, he does seem to attain some sort of fulfillment upon seeing the corpse of a slaugthered foe. ''

''Despite these things, Rutilus is seen as having a certain code. He doesn't kill any more than he needs to, and he's known to keep his promises to the letter. Making him one of the few Diabolus whom never lie, nor cheat his way to a contract. This in turn has earned him quite the amount of corrupted souls. As to him, a trade should be fair, no matter how fulfilling twisting the truth may be. ''

''Rutilus is known to take particular delight in attaining the souls of young children; Often showing up in their dreams, inspiring them to commit horrible atrocities. Filling their young minds with promises of power, and pictures of dreadly scenes. Methodically destroying them emotionally, and gradually turning them into ravenous sociopaths as they grow up. During their upgrowth. Rutilus will commonly protect them from harm, and save their lives if its needed, all to protect his future prey. He continues like this til they've reached a point of no return, before then to usually arrange for a quick death. Boosting him immensly in power. ''

''Rutilus is also noted for his love of dogs, he'll steal food for lone dogs. Cuddle with them and treat them very well. As such, Rutilus also commonly have a pack of dogs whom he's trained for a variety of purposes, including luring soon-to-be victims closer to him, and most commonly. Work as guards for a person or object that he wishes to protect. ''

Powers & Abilities
''The man directs the back of his hand against you, as his nails extend into five blood-red daggerlike shapes. His nails on the other hand quckly following that example. His handsome face splitting in a vile psychothic grin. as he hunches forwards somewhat, before releasing from his human throat a howl reminescent of a pack of wild wolves.''

''Great Spiritual Power; Due to his age and his way of attaining corrupted souls. Rutilus boasts a great amount of spiritual power; Which has been noted to be greater than that of the average Captain-Level Shinigami. As well as a good deal greater than what is commonly associated with a Daemon. This allows him to fight on par with generally more powerful opponents for varying amounts of time.''

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Rutilus is a very proficient hand-to-hand combatant, possessing considerable masterful skill using it as his primary means of attack. Equally lethal using punches and kicks. His fighting technique revolves around using Sanguis Ungues for the sake of a strenghtened offense, as well as periodically overwhelming his opponents with sudden burst of tremendous speed.


 * Sanguis Ungues (血まみれの獣かぎつめ, Latin for Bloody Claws, Japanese for Blood-Beast Claw) this extends the nails of his human form into long blood-red nails that are coated in his Spiritual Energy. These provide horrid lacerations upon an opponent if they hit, as well as complicate healing in such a manner that it corrupts it. Putrifying the wound quickly if a healing spell is attempted. Though natural regeneration seems to work perfectly. Rutilus can extend the claws abit more in order for them to be able to block the attacks of opponents if nessecary.

Highly Enhanced Speed: Rutilus possesses an enormous amount of innate speed. And it is indeed his primary focus. His speed is such that he's able to apply pressure on even Shunpo Masters; And to weaker opponents he may simply appear to dissapear from sight alltogether. It is known that Rutilus sacrificed the ability to use Magic as well as much of his durability to attain this level of sheer speed.


 * Phasmatis Ingredior (像, Latin for Ghost Step, Japanese for Phantom) Is a technique in which Rutilus, in a sudden burst of immense speed leaves behind one or more tangible afterimages. Quite like what Shunpo masters do with Utsusemi. Only that in Rutilus' case. He doesn't tire after using it, which makes the ability many times more dangerous; Like its counterparts, the afterimages may even appear to take damage.

''Great Strenght; Rutilus' speed is not the only thing that he possesses that is above the average of other Daemon's. His strenght, although much less prominent is certainly impressive. As he's been known to inflict crushing blows on his opponents in battle, often breaking bones simply by punching. Coupled with his speed and Hand-To-Hand Combat mastery, it makes him a very dangerous close-combat fighter. ''

''Enhanced Durability; Rutilus is not as durable as many other powerful Diabolus and is forced to rely on his speed in order to defend himself. His skin is barely durable enough to withstand attacks from below Lieutenant-Level opponents. And it is vastly inferior to the near-impervious Dorothy Furlan da Liberi. His inferior durability is an aftereffect of concentrating so much on Speed and to a lesser degree physical strenght.''

Somnium Fugo (夢大食漢 (ソムニウンフゴ), Japanese for "Dream Eater", Latin for "Dream Chaser"): ''Rutilus is very proficient with this, and he's able to enter the dreams of Shinigami and Human alike. Though he usually stays away from the first-mentioned, prefering rather to ''

Ranged Abilities
To compensate for his lack of magic, Rutilus has developed three techniques that can be used to assault the enemy from afar.
 * Cruor Bovis (赤い爆発, Latin for Blood Bullet, Japanese for Red Explosion) Is Rutilus' primary ranged attack. It materializes as three projectiles of blood-red spiritual power. Shaped like Wolf-heads that are sent out towards the desired target, they travel at quick speeds and produce large crimson colored explosions. Capable of levelling a house, and other minor structures.
 * Rutilus Culmen (きらびやかな赤い悪魔, Latin for Red Pillar, Japanese for Gorgeous Red Devil) is Rutilus' most powerful ranged attack. He reaches a palm out towards his target, before he charges up a great orb of crackling red energy. Before releasing it as a thick beam of immense spirtual power. The Culminating explosion is exceedingly devastating.
 * Vix Ray (スカーレット輝き, Latin for Scarlet Ray, Japanese for Scarlet Flash) Is an attack, that though weak in comparison to the other two ranged abiliies. Is so fast that it is almost guaranteed to atleast glance the opponent. Rutilus would commonly point at his opponent, as a thin red beam procures from his finger, usually aimed at vital organs.

Lacking Abilities
''Rutilus' has been forced to more or less completely forfeit his abilities within these fields in order to attain his tremendous speed, and to a lesser degree. His strenght. And these are as follows.''
 * Magic; Rutilus' skill with magic is non-existant. He's completely unable to cast spells of any type. He does possess knowledge of magic, but nevertheless. He can't use it in any way. Though its speculated that he might be able to teach others how to do so in his place.
 * Regeneration; Rutilus is completely unable to regenerate anything and of any sort. If he were to lose an arm or so, it could only be mended by magic.
 * Durability; Rutilus has much less durability than most other Daemon. And he's forced to resort to his speed in order to keep alive in combat.
