《Kigal-Note》Demon: Stygian Executioner
Advertisement
Name: Stygian Executioner Rank: E+ Genus: Demon (Humanoid Demon) Attribute: Darkness Traits: Lesser Demon, Evil Eyed
Description:
Stygian Executioners. The born hitmen. The shadow of the demonic world. The killers without hearts.
Many such names are given to these Executioners, a sub-species of the ill-famous Stygian Tricksters, a race known for tricking people into misfortune.
The Executioners, however, "ends" misfortune, along with everything else. They are killing specialists, having vast amounts of methods related to killing a target. Rumors in demon-populated cities are that the Executioners are demons who have been trained in assassination techniques since birth.
Appearance:
Stygian Executioners have quite dull appearances despite their infamous reputation. They are extremely close to humans in appearance, except for a pair of demonic horns, a tail, and black scleras. Another note is that all of them have well-trained bodies, even if they are living an uneventful life and without participating in combat or sports or whatever. The women also tend to have a natural allure to them.
They also have strange markings on their faces that reveal them as Stygian Executioners. The pattern of these markings is random.
Abilities:
Danger rank: E+++
Rarity rank: C-
Stygian Executioners have many different (and nasty) abilities that justify the horrifying rumors around them. These include mastery of many different types of weapons, a natural affinity for the Darkness attribute that allows the Executioners to harm and hide from their targets, Magic Eyes that will eventually grow into Evil Eye-type skills, and much more.
Despite all this, Stygian Executioners are, in the end, just fancy hitmen. They are not well-versed in how to defend themselves outside of preventing being hit at all, they have problems with opponents that can nullify the surprise attacks of the Executioners, and since they rely on skills and tricks to weaken most of their targets, opponents with such high defense that they cannot be weakened is yet another problem the Executioners stand before.

Gust's comment: No, guys with that kind of defense have to be at least two racial ranks higher than an E-rank if they're going to be that solid...
Garami's comment: Y-yeah! Of course! You need to be a complete idiot to believe otherwise! (...was I wrong for imagining that someone would have as broken defense as my speed?)
