❥ PERSONAL ANTHEM: [Egypt Central - Ghost Town]
❥ HEAD EXAM: Getsu is... well, complicated, as are many others. He is loyal to those that he has let in, loyal to a fault, call it a flaw of his breeding or what have you, but once this male has decided that you are worth trusting and calling a friend, he would follow you to the ends of the earth and back. He would literally do anything for you, falling back into a more obedient position, one that would have that person's back no matter the circumstances, even if they were in the wrong he would fight tooth and nail for them until they told him to stop. Though, to get that out of him is very hard. He is very untrusting of people, often saying that he would 'trust them as far as they could throw him', since many humans wouldn't be able to toss him very far at all, though he could probably fling them a good few feet. Though, in contrast to this, he seems to be a party going type of person, flirting with the ladies, hanging around in groups of people and over all, appearing to be having a good time with the groups that look to be his friends, when really, he could care less about what would happen to them and wouldn't trust them to take care of his sneakers let alone watch out for him if anything happened. Because of this, he can come off as a bit brash and harsh, even rude and arrogant. He does it to keep people at a distance, not wanting to get to know them or them to know him. He holds a bit of resentment against humans, and because of this can have a short temper with them. Really though, he is a bit lonely...

❥ THINGS PAST: Getsu was born from a mother and father of the same breed, meaning, they were both hellhounds. Yes, this young and aspiring pup was brought to this world by a pair that had been hunting lost souls. For a time, they remained topside, raising their little energetic and inquisitive child, the mother wanting more for her son than they had had, and the father trying to instil the pride and glory of their breed into him. It was from his father that he learned loyalty, to those that he let close to him and to whom he was working for. He also began to mirror the pride that his father held for being what he was. While his mother worked to try to raise him like a normal boy, his father would often take him with him to hunt for lost souls, even as a young child, training him as it were, for when he was old enough to take on jobs and the like on his own.
So, aside from being a bit torn as to which he really wanted, the pup grew up happy and content. His mother showered him with love and affection, as did his father, but in a more distant fashion. So it was, when they were called to the underworld when he was ten, it left the young boy confused, and alone. He had no other family that he had ever knew of, and his parents had left him. He was left with a small fortune, at least, enough to get him through the years until he could work on his own, but of course, as a minor, he had to have someone to look after him, so he was placed through the court systems and someone stepped forward, claiming to be an estranged uncle. Getsu knew that to be a lie because the man was human, and as far as he knew, he had no human relatives. However, the court ruled that he was to be given to the man, who took him out to the country side, and sucked every bit of money that his parents had left him away. Getsu was used as a slave in the house, forced to cook, clean, wash, mop, and anything else that the man decided. He even took to humiliating the boy, forcing him to wear maid's outfits as a way to further subjugate and break him down to a more 'malleable' child. That, and the man that had taken him in was a pervert. A sick and twisted individual that delighted in forcing the young orphan into his bed and further humiliating and punishing him, even though the 'uncle' said that it was a 'reward' for being a good boy.
Getsu grew to despise the man, to hate and loath him. His father and mother had always stressed how important it was to never reveal what he really was to anyone, to never let a human know that he was special... For three years Getsu was subjugated to this abuse every day. For three years, this man that had adopted him tried everything he could think of to break the small boy into a twisted plaything for himself. For three years, Getsu's hatred of humans slowly grew because of this man. Then, one night, it happened. On Getsu's thirteenth birthday, his 'uncle' had decided to give him a 'special' gift, and as he was about to once more take the young boy, Getsu snapped. He had had enough, and no longer cared. This human would never touch him again, he would make sure of it. He broke one of the rules his parents had set for him, he revealed his true form to this man... And then set about ripping him to pieces.
After setting the scene to look like a bear attack, the young boy called the police. Of course, he knew this would put him back to waiting for a family... But he didn't care. If he grew tired of them, he would remove them as well... There were always something going on in the human world to cause death... And it was too easy to make it happen. This time, he bounced from temporary homes until he was sixteen, and was able to find a job for himself and a small apartment. He worked and went to school, did odd jobs and saved his money until he graduated high school and was able to get a scholarship and grant to go to college. Now, with this tentative acquaintanceship he has with the other... 'interesting' students in the school, he has went along with this camping trip, if for no other reason than to be able to stretch his legs where humans wouldn't find him.

❥ FORMER GLORIES: A hellhound is a supernatural dog, found in folklore. A wide variety of ominous or hellish supernatural dogs occur in mythologies around the world, similar to the oft-seen dragon. Features that have been attributed to hellhounds include black fur, glowing red, or, sometimes, yellow eyes, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, foul odor, and sometimes even the ability to talk. Legend says that if someone stares into a hellhound's eyes three times 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.
xxxxx[+]Enhanced Strength:
xxxxxxxxxxHis strength is well above average for a human (though, obviously, he isn't one), even for his lean and slender form, he is more than capable of lifting and carrying twice his weight.
xxxxx[+]Enhanced Speed:
xxxxxxxxxxHe's a hellish demon dog, he can easily outrun humans, and to be able to keep up with fleeing spirits, his speed is pretty good.
xxxxx[+]Hell Fire:
xxxxxxxxxxOne of his favorite little things, a fire that he can manifest. Rather than being red like normal fire, this is instead a blackish purple. It's burns don't show on the outside, but rather seem to sear one to their very soul.
xxxxx[+] Phantom Appearance:
xxxxxxxxxxHe is able to take a more ethereal appearance, like that of smoke.
xxxxx[-] Sunlight:
xxxxxxxxxxWhile it doesn't really hurt him, it kinda makes it harder for him to do stuff. He's a creature of the underworld, and prefers it dark. Sunlight and daylight, while very relaxing, is just that... relaxing. It makes him more sluggish.
xxxxx[-] Water:
xxxxxxxxxxAgain, abyss, flames, fire... He's not a fan of water (aside from baths and the like, those are fine), and can't really swim either. Water greatly weakens him and reduces his powers.
xxxxx[-] Cold:
xxxxxxxxxxGive him warmth any day over cold. When he gets cold, he gets rather irritable and doesn't want to do anything. It also takes him quite a while to warm back up.
❥ DAMAGED DEFENSES: Anything he can pick up would work nicely. Though, he has a thing for fire pokers, and will hold onto one if he manages to find it. They tend to be sturdier than most other things, plus that hooked end can be nice.
❥ PIECES LEFT TO PICK UP: He can cook a decent meal, nothing overly spectacular mind you, but still fairly impressive.

❥ POST SCRIPT: He actually enjoys reading.
