Silas Aberdeen is a reclusive and mysterious ghoul newly arrived to the 8th Ward from the isles of Chile, from which he admits is not his home country. Silas left Chile for unspecified but personal reasons. Some say he is searching for someone, others say he is simply looking to make a name for himself.
Appearance
Silas had a has dark hair and piercing grey eyes. He has an fairly distinctively grizzled and serious facial structure, with high cheekbones, an angular nose and a long chin with thin lips. Additionally, he also has a mole above the left side of his nose almost in line with his eyebrow.
In his younger years Silas kept his hair swept to the right side of his face, with bangs hanging over his right eye and his hair swept back on the left side. Currently Silas wears his moderate length hair swept back over his head allowing it to fall to just above his neck.
He is tall by most standards with a relatively thin body shape that belies his inherent strength.
Masked
Horus
As Horus, Silas wears an Egyptian styled mask reminiscent of the sky God Horus. Over this he wears a loose dark hooded cloak fastened at the throat that falls to his knees. On his feet he wears calf high dark brown leather boots.
The Hangman
As The Hangman, Silas wears a grim looking metallic mask with sharp dagger like projections from the lower side where the mouth would be. He also wears a black western cowboy hat and a charcoal grey trench coat over a white dress shirt and black jeans. He wears a loose dark purple tie and black boots.
Personality
It doesn't take much to tell that Silas isn't much of a talker, preferring the solitude of his own company. Needless to say he isn't comfortable in the bustling day time streets of the 8th Ward, taking to libraries and quiet back alley coffee shops throughout the day. He is extremely loyal and friendly to those he likes with a tendency to act apathetic in some situations. Realistically he listens intently.
When hunting Silas is completely silent, as his tell-tale accent and speech patterns would surely give him away as a foreigner in Japan. He has a strong sense of justice, and is prone to vigilantism, especially in the case of rapists, as shown by his murder of Yutaka Toshirou shortly after his arrival in Japan.
At heart Silas is a pragmatist, reasoning that if he was born with the means to kill he may as well make a living out of it.
Background
Back in Chile, Silas made a name for himself working as a freelance assassin working for both the government and private organisations. As Horus, Silas was a brutally efficient killer, known for sudden and unexpected decapitations and hit and run tactics. However, Silas went under another alias back in Chile. That of The Hangman. As The Hangman, Silas would stalk the back allies of Chilean cities, particularly around bars and quiet areas. That night a woman would tell her family and friends how a black cloaked man had rescued her from a rapist the night before, before departing without a word, dragging the rapist with him. The next day a castrated and dismembered man would be found hung by the neck from a post by the side of the road a short distance from the attempted rape. On further investigation his genitals would be found in the nearest trash can.
Upon arriving in Japan, Silas has kept a low profile in order to blend in with society and prevent any unwanted visits from the CCG or other Ghouls.
Powers and Abilities
Kagune
Ukaku- Silas' kagune takes the shape of 6 dark rigid crystalline protrusions from his upper back connected by purple and orange flames, giving them the appearance of wings. His kagune is in a constant state of decay and regeneration, shedding flakes and puffs of flame constantly. When hardened temporarily this ceases.
High Speed
Even for an Ukaku ghoul Silas is extremely fast and agile. This ability stems from self training as a free-runner from an early age and has also influenced his preferences of rooftops as a means of movement around the city.
Combat
In combat, Silas prefers to take out the enemy before they are even aware of his presence. Disliking face to face combat he prefers to stalk the rooftops and attack from above, returning to the rooftops if he is outmatched or when his prey or enemy has been killed or scared off. When he attacks, he prefers to kick rather than punch. He also favors the use of spins, using his crystalline kagune to dismember his targets.
Weaknesses
Low Stamina- He is severely handicapped in protracted combat as his kagune releases RC cells at fairly high rate despite it's primarily permanent crystalline nature, severely reducing his stamina.
Weak Projectiles- Unlike most other ukaku users, his projectiles are extremely small and weak, their only use in combat being as distractions or to blind an enemy in close range.
Ear Defect- Silas was born with deformed eardrums, rendering him sensitive sound. Despite giving him exceptional hearing, loud noises such as explosions, gunfire and shouting can cause him intense pain. In combat Silas wears ear plugs to block out loud noises.
Terrible Teamwork- Due to his occupation as a freelance assassin, Silas has little experience or skill working in a team. Silas loathes being responsible for the lives of others leading him to take on a lone wolf personality in combat.
Threads
One-Shot: The Hanged Man
Implied to be responsible for the violent murder and hanging of the 8th Ward businessman Yutaka Tohshirou. Silas watches the television report verifying the the mans death catatonically from the corner of a coffee shop.
Private RP: A Night on the Town
Intending to make an example of another serial rapist and murderer, Silas finds out he was not the only ghoul who has their eyes on the man.
