  Hellhounds. Certain European legends state that if someone stares into a hellhound's eyes twice or more, that person will surely die. In cultures that associate the afterlife with fire, hellhounds may have fire-based abilities and appearance. They are often assigned to guard the entrances to the world of the dead, such as graveyards and burial grounds, or undertake other duties related to the afterlife or the supernatural, such as hunting lost souls or guarding a supernatural treasure. In European legends, seeing a hellhound or hearing it howl may be an omen or even a cause of death. They are said to be the protectors of the supernatural. Guarding the secrecy of supernatural creatures, or beings, from the world.
  
  August's pack was just that. A very powerful group of the wolves of hell. Precise, fast. The pack's rules were absolute. They were the perfect guards, excellent warriors and even better hunters, located just by the gates where they kept guard. No one got in and no one got out. The pack wasn't vicious, they were all individuals with their own minds and souls, but they were the crowned kings of all hounds and if someone as much as placed a toe into their territory and tried to escape, they burned them down in the bright red color of hellfire.
  
  The pack had a powerful alpha, August's father. He was the ideal soldier, never stepping out of line, never letting emotions take over him and demanded this from the rest of his hounds. August looked up to him ever since he was young, growing up in hopes of being like his father one day. He loved the alpha unconditionally, trusted him completely and tried his damned hardest to follow in his steps and it almost worked out, almost.
  
  Too much heart was August's downfall, when he refused his father's order. He was used to hunting, used to killing but the alpha had instructed him to end a life of another member of the pack after a near failed hunt and the young hound couldn't bring himself to do it. The rebellion ended up in a brutal fight between August and his parent, the older hound nearly killing him and leaving a nasty burn scar over his entire left shoulder.
  
  

  "So very human, to be lead by your emotions, let them be the master of you."

  
  August's father did spare his life, but banished his own son from his pack and exiled him to earth. There, August had to learn how live as a human. As a creature of hell, he was doomed for a life of constant running away from those who wanted to hunt him down. The hunter became the hunted. His personality took a drastic shift, he became distrustful and stern, staying in the shadows where he could lock himself away from everything.
  
  As a spawn of hell, August soon found out his name was on top of the wanted list. The hunters of the supernatural were after him and he often came into conflict with them, one of them being Evangelos who August found most spiteful, being one of his own kind. The white hound was determined to bring him down, but their powers differed and even though August lost an ear in a fight with Evan, he didn't lose his life. At least not yet.
  
  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  Abilities & Powers

  
  Hellfire - August's entire core is the fire he was born in and he possesses complete mastery over the element. He is able to engulf his entire body or just parts of it in flame and use it offensively for hell's fire burns the brightest. Since the element is a large part of him, his body temperature is always high and he is able to force the heat lower or higher. Basically a walking, breathing heat pad. It is also up to him, whether he wants his fire to hurt or not, he can command it to be cold. However with how easily ticked off August is, so is his fire. He's prone to losing control over it and can be extremely destructive when he does.
  
  Form Shifting - When exiled to earth, August took on a human form which he can maintain just fine. He's able to shift between his human and hound self freely when he wants to, however he does have a couple triggers that present danger to both himself and those around him, the main two being anger and the scent of smoke.
  
  Alpha Mark - August is still a demonic creature and the son of an alpha hound and as such he can bring absolute terror into mortal hearts and make them obey. However since he was banished, he never truly utilized this power and most likely doesn't even know about possessing it.
