Name: Hydra<br/>Age: 32<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Species: Dragon<br/>Personality: Hydra has a cold, ruthless, and bloodthirsty demeanor. Once he is caught up in his work, he becomes an uncontrollable typhoon of violence, cruelty, and sadism. Because of this, he considers his occupation as a mercenary and assassin to be the perfect job for him, and probably wouldn't quit for anything. Despite his evil and heartless appearance, though, he does have a somewhat gentler side to him. However, the only one he ever shows it to is his partner and companion, Phantasm, who he seems to genuinely care for, though she never returns these more positive feelings.<br/>Description: Hydra is a black dragon with a dark blue underbelly and gleaming yellow eyes. His body's features match his personality, looking quite demonic. He gets his alias from his most noticeable aspect: he has nine heads. Each one is attached to a long, snake-like neck, which are joined at the top of his chest. They all share identical brains, so there is never conflict between them. His massive black wings are quite impressive when fully spread, but most of the time are kept closely folded against his back so they don't hinder his movement, which is already problematic given his full height of nearly twenty feet. His tail is extremely long, perhaps twice as long as his body, and is tipped with a large, barbed, harpoon-like stinger. Though a very odd feature for a dragon, it appears to be natural, and can inject a variety of potent toxins into victims. Another odd feature are his claws. All of them are extremely long, several feet each, and look more like swords than claws. Luckily, they can be retracted to a more manageable length when Hydra is not fighting to allow more precise use of his fingers and toes. There are other odd features on him, but they are not readily apparent under normal circumstances.<br/>Likes: Anything goes.<br/>Dislikes: Pretty much nothing.<br/>Prey/Pred Ratio: 0/100<br/><br/>Name: Phantasm<br/>Age: 8<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Species: Human<br/>Personality: Phantasm is almost the complete opposite of Hydra. Though she kills without hesitation, she gets no joy from it. Indeed, she doesn't seem to find joy in anything. She is a mystery, never showing emotions of any kind and rarely talking unless necessary. Despite living and working with her for several years, Hydra has never managed to break this emotionless shell or learn much about her. It's unknown why she chose to live with him, as she has offered no explanation for it or even gave him a reason when she first moved in.<br/>Description: Phantasm is a human girl, at least in appearance. She has a very emaciated body and her skin is so pale that it's original color can only be guessed at. Her smooth hair is long and black, hiding much of her face. The only article of clothing she wears is a simple, sleeveless red dress. The most striking feature of this girl are the black, banded, spine-like protrusions that seem to grow directly out of her skin. These objects vary in size, from a few inches to an entire foot in length. They can be found on most parts of her body, but are arranged in a way that doesn't impede standing and moving. While they look almost organic, they are in fact artificial, meant to be a way of amplifying and weaponizing Phantasm's special "talent". Phantasm's brain has been very unusual since birth, emitting a strange, nearly undetectable energy that allows her to affect the world around her with nothing but her thoughts, perhaps a natural way of compensating for her frail, vulnerable body. While her body has remained extremely weak and could be easily subdued by even a child her own age, her terrifying mental powers can bring down creatures many times her size with sickening ease and efficiency. She and Hydra make an extremely formidable team.<br/>Likes: Same as Hydra<br/>Dislikes: Same as Hydra<br/>Prey/Pred Ratio: 100/0 (She is physically incapable of consuming other living creatures. On the other hand, even with this ratio, her superhuman mind makes her very dangerous to any potential preds who aren't on their guard.)<br/><br/>---<br/>"I can hardly stand it anymore! We haven't had a real job in months. Months!" Hydra shouted, pacing the warehouse he and his partner used as their headquarters and home. Normally, people of their profession would have to change locations fairly often to stay under NIGHT's radar, but these two worked things a bit differently. Obviously their business was not a public one. The true nature of this warehouse and it's occupants were known only to a select few around the city that Hydra trusted, through which all of their clients were told how to locate the duo. Hydra's partner made sure that said clients did not remember the warehouse or it's location after they left, so it was safe to use as a permanent dwelling, especially since it had fallen into disuse years ago and was largely forgotten by the city. This secrecy ensured that most of the city's inhabitants knew them only as urban legends and vague rumors.<br/><br/>"You shouldn't be surprised." his partner, Phantasm, said softly. "With most people earning less money, not many can afford to pay for something like the murder of their personal enemies." she continued, not looking up from the book she was reading. Every now and then a page would turn, even though the girl's hands were folded in her lap. The human child had come out of nowhere and joined Hydra in his business a few years ago with no explanation at all. At first he had been reluctant to take her in, but once he saw her abilities for himself, he knew she would be extremely useful. The tiny, seemingly malnourished human girl and the monstrous dragon made a very bizarre looking pair, almost comical, though nobody who had seen them in action would think so.
