Character Name:
Horus Abaddon
Species:
Human
Age, Gender:
47 Male
Description:
Horus stands in at 188cm and weighs 100kg. Horus is completely bald, something he keeps hidden with his officer’s cap. His face sports a particularly savage scar that runs from his right eye down to his lip. His single remaining good eye is brown while his damaged eye is milky white.
Horus often wears combat boots, a pair of military issue pants, a singlet, a flack jacket and a worn brown leather jacket. Horus can often be spotted with a pistol holster and knife scabbard attached to his belt.
Personality:
Horus has seen much of war. He is fearless when the situation calls for it. He is cold and dispassionate at times though he is quite friendly when you crack his hardened outer shell. Horus still keeps up some of his military training such as polishing his combat boots and checking his equipment. Horus is tough as old leather boots, not minding if he is thrown into a situation or place that is undesirable. Horus has a habit of smoking cigars at his leisure and drinking spirits when not on a job. Horus is one not fussed when it comes to weapons, often choosing something that can easily fit into a small space.
History:
Horus Abaddon was born to parents Elizabeth and Troy Harrison. Even at a very young age, Horus showed a natural affinity towards metal and technology, often looking at his toys to try and figure out what makes them work rather than play with him. Despite trying to give Horus a good childhood, he only cared about the military. By his 10th birthday, after being expelled from his fourth school for causing a schoolyard fight, Horus’s parents enrolled him in a military academy.
Horus would soon excel in the military, showing his natural affinity towards metal and technology as a great asset for a tank driver. Eventually, on his 18th birthday and being promoted to the rank of corporal, he was assigned to the 10th armored division. It was here that Horus would really come into his own as a tank driver and soon commander.
During his first mission, Horus’s armored unit was ambushed by guerrilla fighters armed with light anti tank rockets. Horus’s tank took a direct hit overhead from one such missile, blowing a reasonable hole in the hull. The blast sending shrapnel in all directions, some of it injuring the young man badly. Thanks to his quick thinking, Horus turned the ambush from a bloodbath into a tactical retreat. Back at base, Horus would be treated for his injuries, a permanent scar remaining on his face from his first heat in battle.
Over the course of 20 years, Horus would serve in the 10th armored division, moving up the rank until he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and eventually given his own tank to command. Horus would continue to serve the military faithfully for another 3 years before deciding to go into retirement. Earning full honors for his years of dedicated service.
After spending a year in retirement, Horus decided to go back into work, getting employment as a private security contractor, spending most of his time behind the wheel because of his military background. During one particular mission to protect a client, Horus would have his first encounter with the supernatural. While protecting one of his clients from an ambush of what appeared to be hitmen, Horus shot and killed three of the attackers with to of them retreating. Upon closer examination, Horus discovered the wounds of one of the men, though fatal, hadn’t been enough to kill him. Taking his knife, Horus decapitated the man. While protecting his client, Horus would encounter several more people just like the first one though it never occurred to him until three years later that they were supernatural creatures.
After spending 5 years working for various clients, Horus left the security company that he had been hired to. He set is eyes to London as his new destination.
Horus traveled to London, a month before his 47th birthday, gaining all the necessary papers of citizenship and residency from his previous employer. Horus now resides in London, working odd jobs as a security contractor.

RP Sample:
Horus dived over the car bonnet, cursing as he did so. How the hell did these assassins know when and where Horus would be driving? Shaking off the initial insecurities, Horus’s mind turned back to the task at hand. He needed to get these assassins away from his client who was safely locked in inside the armored car. Opening the passenger door, Horus reached in before pulling out a Micro-SMG. Folding the stock into place and sliding a magazine into the handle, Horus returned fire at the would be assassins, his fire precise, controlled and accurate. Each round impacting in the wall where the three men were hiding behind. Horus needed to end this fire fight fast. He didn’t like sitting around getting shot at. Standing up again, Horus returned fire, each round impacting hard into the brick and concrete across the road, one round managing to catch a man in the face, killing him.
“One down, two to go.” Horus whispered to himself. One of the assassins turned tail and ran, leaving Horus to breath a light sigh of relief before feeling a heavy impact in his chest, throwing him off his feet and onto his back.
Horus sat up, shaking off the pain coming from his chest. Looking down, he saw a nice little hole in what remained of his flack jacket.
“Bloody bugger must be using a shot gun.” Horus got to his knees before rubbing his chest. The assassin fired again, a heavy metallic ring coming from the other side of the car. Horus kneeled behind the car, abandoning his SMG for his Colt 1911 and Combat Knife. Horus waited for the man before stabbing him in the gut with his knife before firing off several rounds at point blank range into the assassin’s head. The man fell over but was obviously not dead. Taking his knife, Horus decapitated the man before walking around to the driver’s side before getting in.
“Base this is Echo One, came under attack but client is unharmed, requesting assistance at location.” Horus put down the radio before turning to face his client..
“You mind telling me what the hell is going on here?” Horus was going to get his answers whether he like them or not.
