Armor/Clothing: Apólyá has a specially made set of armor called Warmage Armor that is also his “casual hooded robe”. His Warmage Armor is infused with void essence and amethyst dust so that he can't burn them with void fire and has the Will Bound effect (able to be summoned and unsummoned by the owner). Apólyá designed his armor to protect him from physical objects and magic, it is based on heavy armor parts attached to light mage armor that splits at the waist for maneuverability. There are pieces of the armor that are made of void crystals that give off harmless void fire effects. A void bond on his left arm is made of void crystal that glows brighter than the rest of the armor when a spell is being cast. Apólyá made the metal parts off sketches he made of nightmares about his time in The Abyss and flashbacks from The Planular War. This Warmage Armor gave him the nicknames Abaddon and Apollyon.

The “casual hooded robe” is his Warmage Armor, but it has the armor part unsummoned so that it conceals his identity in public to an extent. The robe itself is beautifully embroidered with enchanted black and purple silk that resists magic and physical objects. The void bond is still visible. In addition it has a removable, harmless, violet fire, waist sash.

Ancient Pattern: There are ancient runes in the shape of a high detail Ancient on Apólyá's left arm. Each rune is a different type of magic and they glow when the corresponding Magic type is being used or just before Apólyá goes into Ancient Form.

Ancient Form: He turns into a black crystal dragon-like Skeleton complete with: Plated wings. Void flame spines. Horns that curve back and up. Serrated talons and wing blades. Short tail spines that form a wickedly-sharp, double-sided, super flexible, 4' blade. Slitted magenta eyes and his lower jaw splits in half to reveal more teeth. He is around triple the size of a fully grown dragon but is several times as nimble and still has access to his other powers. He is also covered in the same runes as the Ancient pattern and they act accordingly. Note: He's absolutely terrifying in this form and weighs over 3000tons.

"Mortal" form: Long, purple black hair with violet tips and highlights. Sharp and elegant facial structure. Swordsman body structure. Height 7' 2" (with horns showing he's 6" taller.), he looks like he should weigh 195lbs. The iris' of his eyes are rings of violet fire that grows more intense with his anger and becomes more flame-like with dark side intentions or more rune-like with light side intentions. His teeth are reminiscent of Ancient teeth. Skin is pitch black. His huge Ancient wings are usually pulled close to his body and blend in with his Warmage armor. Otherwise they are loose and being stretched out. He keeps his tail and horns hidden by very powerful illusion magic unless he is among others like him. His left arm is an Ancient talon and has the legs of an Ancient. He has magenta runes on his soul telling the legend of his life in Ancient. Note: His mass is extremely condensed.

Alignment and Personality:

Unselie. Neutral Evil (Lawful).

Apólyá'Skotá is difficult to define because of his experiences. His morality is twisted by The Abyss and Sol's actions. He is always fighting his truly chaotic and darker side, resulting in poor people skills. He tries very hard to use his powers for the betterment of himself and the good of others, even though his perception of right and wrong tend to blur, and his ways make him more of an ultra-corrupt vigilante... He hates being left in the dark and often uses the power of darkness to stay informed. He believes that one thing cannot exist without the other and will obtain as much power as he can to achieve a sort of balance. Being used to combat, war and death, he seems unfazed by threats and doesn't feel guilt in killing. Apólyá has difficulty reading his own emotions and tends to stay infuriatingly calm, however extreme spikes in behavior are very possible. He carries more spiritual pain and emotional damage than a mortal should, but this allows him to relate with someone else's bad experiences on a more acute level. He has a tendency of unintentionally being a cold and dark (could be described as an edgelord, other than the fact that he's just this way and isn't trying to be like that.), however, on occasion, he may actively try to get certain people to like him and is revealed to be a fairly reasonable and nice person, even though he'll deny it. He keeps an Ancient's grip on his weaponry, or in other words, he absolutely refuses to be unarmed. His dark side outweighs his light side by quite a bit, so be very aware that he might not have your best interests at heart. When in doubt, diplomacy, sometimes he can be talked out of something if you give him the right reasons and the reward for helping you is high enough. He no longer has a need for contacts but he does some anyway, for old times sake. He will try not to sacrifice innocents to save his friends and allies if possible. If the good of the many outweighs the good of few he will help many first, unless of course they have a really positive relationship with him or he has a reason to. Be careful where you are and what you say while talking to him, he has no problem ending a conversation with violence if you anger him. which brings me to rage, he's a ticking time bomb, the slightest bit of aggression can set him off if he catches it. He doesn’t believe himself to be any form of good, but resists delving into pure evil. Making friends with him is very difficult and extremely rewarding, however if you betray him RUN, and DO NOT let him catch you. He uses his powers to find, but there's almost nothing stopping him from plunging the realms into a new dark age. He still calls his father Noctu Igne and, on occasion, his uncle Dies Igne. When Apólyá is not busy he is either Ominously brooding in darkness, or he is practicing his abilities and skills, maybe spending time with friends and family, but that's less likely. He's the type of god that would challenge another deity, not because he thinks he can beat them, though he probably could, but to prove a point. He doesn't trust other demigods and deities, and friendship is a feat by itself. He hates other deities, finding most divines unworthy to be called gods until proven otherwise. Which brings me to the fact that Apólyá loves Ancient and Dark Fae tradition, as well as Ancient Greek mythology (He clams to have met them personally (Hint: Ancient Tablets may prove or disprove this)). He may hunt down a deity to challenge them with The Trials of The Worthy (A series of trials that determine if a divine is worthy of their power. Doesn't affect their power just his opinion of the deity in question). He tends to do something rash if you threaten his loved ones and friends. Like his father, Apólyá has difficulty talking about his past. He sleeps through eight hours of the day due to years of habit which makes it easier for others to relax. Apólyá takes pride in his capability to slay entire legions of powerful creatures himself, however he prefers to fight alongside a healer or capable fighter. Sneaking up on him is a challenge since he always has his guard up and he is ready for most anything. He is tortured by his past through nightmares and extremely rare hallucinations. He has no qualms with most people but he hates the masked ones for what they do and wishes them very extremely dead, but he is now being convinced some can change their ways like The Bear. However he won't attack them first and won't try to convince them to change, they need to do that themselves. He will refuse to harm innocent people and to fight those without a defense.

Weapons:

Perdere: The sentient, Ancient made, ultra-sharp, pitch-black, longsword wreathed in purple void fire that has accents of purple silk and her pommel is an amethyst cut to perfection. She has the ability to split down the center into two different swords, each part has an additional name (Left Hand: Mortem, Right Hand: Finis) these names are carved into their respective sides of her crossguard. She is perfectly balanced and extremely beautiful. Perdere emanates an aura of barely contained power and shimmers with an engraving of an Ancient when she takes sentience. Perdere only speaks or sings when she takes sentience, and she mainly does so in Greek, Ancient, and Latin. Her voice is warm and truly captures her beauty. The engraving of the Ancient and her void flame pulses with each word she says.

Xanthros: A Silver, high power, anti-armor, sharpshot bow  that makes a quiet click sound when fully drawn and fires silver arrows.

Divina Virtute: An amethyst encrusted staff that acts as a secondary focus for massive powers or sacred lenses so that Apólyá can use his talon for other things.

Deus Perniciosa: The first fusion sniper ever created. A weapon for very long range and fires fusion rounds that hopefully will do massive damage to gods after a three second charge up, but ammo for it is extremely hard to create and it is definitely not ready to be used in the field of battle. Each Fusion Crystal is huge, weighs three pounds and holds enough power for three shots (die to limited pocket space he can carry only three at a time).

Aiónios Ýpnos: He carries thirty small throwing knives hidden in his armor. Each knife is ultra light, sharpened to a fine razor sharp edge and has heavy enchantments towards hitting the supposedly unhittable.

Powers And Flaws:

Deity: He has the abilities to overcome, take away, and boost one's Willpower. He has the ability to bend the environment to work for him but only if he focuses.

He can take control, stop, unweave, or use any magic or energy based ability. He may also temporarily grant or take away abilities of magic and energy.

He can control the forces of the supernatural, altering reality itself in strange ways. His natural abilities and skills have been boosted a hundred fold but he can cancel some out to make a fight more fair.

He has a powerful aura that makes non-Ancient technology short circuit or fail if it's within five meters of him, unless he blocks it with his willpower which is most of the time.

Magic and Trained: Nocturnus is the last remaining true user of Ancient Magic because he is an Ancient.

Ancient Magic is the powerful, dangerous magic used strictly by Ancients and those specifically trained by Ancients. It is extremely adaptable and can be used to make any form of magic used with it stronger. However it is highly inefficient and will kill someone with weak willpower and/or is inexperienced with it.

Due to being a Warmage Nocturnus has been trained in all types of magic and schools of magic, but he specializes in the schools of Destruction, Enchanting, and Illusion.

Apólyá can see a lot better in the dark and is mostly nocturnal.

Ancient: Ancient Magic. Ancient Form. Resistance to physical and magical attacks. Void crystal skeleton.

Sensory: He has hypersensitive senses; abnormally loud noises hurt his ears, strong smells make him react accordingly, really bright lights hurt his eyes, faint tastes will make him suspicious, and sudden changes in a surrounding area makes him on edge. He can hear, smell, taste, feel, and see much more than most.

If he's resting any unusual sound will wake him up and he will be ready for a fight even if it is completely unnecessary.

Physical and Natural: He is very skilled with firearms, weapons, and somatics. He is extremely athletic and pulls off epic gymnast stunts in and out of combat. He's also extremely fast and strong, able to out maneuver and overpower most of his obstacles if he wants. He can read and speak Draconic, Old Draconic, Ancient(Mother Tongue), Fae, Shakespearean and Common.

Important Flaws: He has nightmares about The Abyss and flashbacks of The Great Planular War. Overstimulated mentality leading to his thoughts being a hurricane and too chaotic to read. Difficulty to relax or find peace of mind and high levels of fidgeting that he tends to use while being idle. Hatred of most other gods. Ancient and Dark Fae influence. He is one who would be more likely to oppose another god. The void energy he uses to feed his ancient magic has slowly corrupted him over the centuries. He has several "Tells" that gives away some of his thoughts.

Tells: Talon will be hidden when he is preparing for an ability based attack. His talon will remain alarmingly still when he is preparing for a skill based attack. His head will tilt left slightly if he likes you. Or his head will tilt right slightly if he dislikes you. When bored or idle he tends to put his mind or claws to work fidgeting with various things. When things get tense you can see him wind up for any possible action and he will have already subtly calculated everything required to do what he might have to. When he is frustrated or flustered he starts speaking Shakespearean then Ancient.

Combat Techniques:

He uses a unique fighting style that is heavily reliant on his dexterity, strength and powers to exploit an opponents weaknesses. This may take form anywhere between, aggressive but not reckless, swift and precise, or patient but irritating. {I will expand on this.} He likes to use pieces of The Art of War in his tactics.

Main Equipment/Utilities: Perdere (Mortem{L} and Finis{R}), Xanthros, Divina Virtute, Deus Perniciosa, Aiónios Ýpnos, and various powers he has.

Typically Worshiped By:

Liliaura so far.

Domain: Divina Island, a beautiful and large free floating island drifting through reality. It never stays in one place unless Apólyá wills it, making the island extremely difficult to find and keep track of. It is a sacred ground where death and illness cannot reach, protected by the memory of a goddess of old. There is a statue of the goddess the domain is named after in its center.

Temples: None yet.

Backstory (Simplified):

The Ancient once known as Apólyá'Skotá, took the mortal given name Nocturnus Igne and was presumed dead ten trillion plus years ago, originally killed by the past version of Sol in The Great Plane War. He had been cursed by the Ancient god of death after Sol's supporters killed everything trying to use ancient magic at the same time.

The curse ensured Nocturnus would never pass into his afterlife until he kept an oath he swore on the River Styx. He intends to break this curse after he finally kills his uncle, Sol.

He stumbled across a succubus known as Liliaura in The Abyss. After learning much about what happened up till then, he swore to expand his power so that he could get his vengeance on the god that massacred his home land. Liliaura told him about The Cult Of Chaos and the diary of their founder (his twin sister) had been hidden in the plane. While Nocturnus scrounged The Abyss for his sister's diary, Liliaura stayed by his side muttering something about being chained to Sol. Nocturnus eventually found the diary and read his sister's entries. His hunger for power quickly grew as he trained and Liliaura encouraged this until she witnessed his destructive capabilities.

About a year and a half ago, Nocturnus escaped The Abyss with Liliaura and The Diary Of Jane Igne after breaking Liliaura's binds to Sol. Nocturnus discovered the possibility that Liliaura treated him like a god, which was proven correct. Then Nocturnus and Liliaura joined The Cult Of Chaos. Not long ago nocturnus hunted down Sol and forced a trade of power resulting in him becoming a god at the cost of nearly dying in the process. When he recovered Sol had escaped him so he returned to Divina Island making it his domain and reclaimed his Ancient name Apólyá'Skotá. He is now hiding his godly nature for as long as he can, nobody else has figured it out yet.
