Concentration #3: Hades and Macaria the Necromancers

Hades, named after the Greek God of the Underworld, harnesses his power from the infinite energy of the dead. Hades can transform his appearance at will; from human, to demon, to animal to his purest form. When first born, he was ostracized by the other village children, seeing him as a bad omen being born on the day the God Hades was banished to the Underworld. He first learned of his gift of death when he murdered his father and mother by accidentally bringing his stuffed toy Hydra to life, hoping to have a single friend. Outcasted by the rest of the ancient village by account of murder, Hades was banished to the distant Twisted Forest, rumored to be haunted and evil, a perfect place for a demon as stated by the villagers. In his solitude, the young child was lonely, in which he created more "imaginary friends," such as a monstrosity he called, Mothman, as well as numerous half-human, half-dead beings hoping to create real friends that failed to which he called, zombies. Through his solitude, he learned to harness his powers. He learned to control the dead and to manipulate the shadows to his whim. His "imaginary friends" taught him techniques and how to control a wild beast and those "friends" too strong to control. Eventually going insane in his loneliness, his rationality telling him that his "friends" don't exist, he eventually went psychotic, planning his revenge on the village. After honing his skills and mastering the dead, he went to the village, killing every last man, woman and child with an army of the undead. His thirst for blood and unlimited army of the undead makes Hades a fearsome adversary.

In ancient times of the Greek Gods and Goddesses, an immortal daughter was born, fathered by Poseidon. When a tragedy struck and the war of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades erupted, the child were carried to a safe haven in the Atlantic Ocean. Posiedon promised to keep the her safe underwater but the raging waves pushed the girl to the surface of the ocean. Hades took the opportunity to take a stab at Poseidon by taking the child. Hades planned to hold the child until Poseidon surrendered. However, Zeus, unknowing Hades holding the child, struck Hades with a bolt. Shielding himself, he held the baby to Zeus's bolt, where the child split in two. Now faced with two daughters, Hades takes one and abandons the other in a nearby jungle. Hades flees to the underworld to take shelter. Seperated by birth from her twin sister, Macaria, the daughter of Greek God Hades and Goddess of Damnation, roams the modern mortal world searching for those cheating death. In her mortal form, she is a young woman, attracting men to their deaths and women to torture. After her exploits in the mortal world was foiled by a mysterious being known as Kailani. Macaria was banished to the underworld. Her grudge against this strange being was what Macaria thought was irrational, however an invisible tie links the two together.
