body temperature ▪ −105 °F (−76 °C)
occupation ▪ Guardian of burial grounds ; guard/bodyguard.
build ▪ Small-framed, lean body; muscular undertone.
hair ▪ Raven black; front is long, back is short with a slight wave.
eyes ▪ Lifeless black - no visible pupils
skin ▪ Pale with a yellow undertone, veiny and translucent
looking; lips pink with a tint of blue.
face ▪ Perfectly symmetrical and healthy; heart shaped face
with high cheek bones and a slender nose.
demeanor ▪ Often unresponsive; creepy.
An emotionally numb individual that radiates an incurious disposition, she is often
unmoved by crisis and isn't easily caught off guard. Cold, like an inert statue she is often
viewed as one-dimensional since she is so standoffish with little interest in forming bonds;
affection will be met with little response, perhaps confusion. Crypt has great hindrance
perceiving human emotions, plus ironically holds all individuals in contempt upon first
encounter and may openly commit verbal abuse consistently if she senses weakness. The
hellhound is a quiet thinker, always observing with an introverted nature and an extreme
distaste for crowded areas; the epitome of a callous, solitary creature. Any violence shown
towards her will be met with utmost sadistic brutality with no remorse of consequences,
as her patience with violence shown towards her is very thin. As a beast the mind isn't
a separate entity in either form so the usual persona will take effect.
voice ▪ Eerily hypnotizing; cold and whispery,
often enigmatic with guttural hisses.

The primary occupants of the ring of violence to the self are suicides. Since the suicides have “denied the God-given sanctity of their bodies on earth,” they are deemed unfit for human form. At the gates of hell stands King Minos who judges to what level of hell the damned should be condemned. Within the forest the Profligates run, crashing through trees and shrubs whilst they are being chased by vicious black dogs. The pain here is multifaceted as the Profligates suffer the pain and fear of running through densely packed forest and ultimately being torn apart by hounds, while the chase itself causes excruciated pain for the trees and shrubs that are broken and trampled.
Crypt's structure as an organism initiated inside a womb as a parasitic seedling within the 7th circle of violence; the wood of the suicides which the souls of the Suicides are transformed into gnarled, thorny trees and are fed upon by Harpies, hideous clawed birds with the faces of women. Typically shrub seeds would fall and cultivate into black hounds; a living nightmare of the violence the profligates have committed. An unnamed women who committed acts of both treachery and suicide bared a symbiotic relationship with her festering sins which in turn gave a painful birthing of Crypt. A grotesque display of thorns and frozen bark broke the womens insides, it's cancerous embryo fell and latched into lake Cocytus finalizing its transition from violence to treachery whilst completing the absorption of its first soul. This allocated a successful growth of the organic mass into what it is today, a hellion that mimicked her 'mothers' genetic demeanor also surpassing a black hound that stayed stationary in the forest she was gifted a life source to morph into a hellhound.

Crypt is as cold as lake Cocytus, the hellion possesses the power to instantly decrease
the temperature of ambient water vapor in her immediate environment to below zero degrees
Celsius, thereby freezing it into ice. Crypt can reduce thermodynamic temperature of her
surroundings to absolute zero (-459.67°F or -273.15°C), a physically impossible-to-reach
state by normal means. Heat is generated via atomic motions, and even at extremely low
temperatures, they continue to transfer energy; only when atoms completely stop moving is
"absolute zero" achieved. Without atomic motion, the frozen object loses all electrical
resistances and atomic cohesion, shattering at atomic level under the weight of its own mass.
Since this affects matter at an atomic scale, it will destroy any physical target it makes
contact with, regardless of their conventional durability. Ice fortresses, spikes and snow storms
are also apart of her arsenal, snow storms are simply disturbances from her freezing aura being
felt within the astrosphere causing tiny ice crystals to form within passing clouds. Her skin will
often grow frost and touching her could lead to cellular disintegration by causing horrid frostbites, her
blood is also freezing cold rendering her invisible to thermal devices.
strengths ▪ Resistant to freezing
temperatures, cannot be frozen; also resistant
to poison and mind control. Holy creatures or
objects have no effect on her either.
weaknesses ▪ She greatly dislikes heat/fire.
oddities ▪ May stare for a long uncomfortable
amount of time, heart beats once every 60 seconds,
movements are slow and predatory; may circle
whomever she encounters without realizing.defenses ▪ Crypt's anatomy sheltered lavish sinew,
prying eyes could barely make out her incredible
muscle definition. Her superhuman strength was
carefully hidden by her brittle wraith-like appearance,
but it is just the opposite and taking her lightly would
be a grave mistake. Her defense is her strength and
endurance to high damage, she can take heavy
blows and dish them out a lot harder.
offense ▪ Brute strength, ice manipulation.
diet ▪ Obligate carnivore. At first glance it isn't hard to
determine the creatures a devourer of flesh. Her gums
are aligned with rows of horrifyingly sharp coned-shaped
teeth; she is a true carnivore and lacks the physiology
required for the efficient digestion of vegetable matter.
Crypt also has gluttonous appetite for angels
and will hunt them if they are sensed.

hellhound stats
height ▪ 10 ft.
weight ▪ 3,800lbs
eyes ▪ Black
pelt ▪ Thick along the neck, underbelly and back, slim over the ribs and legs.
Lavishing white with a soft fleecy touch, also feels very cold.
physique ▪ A juggernaut, the hellions body was carefully aligned with powerful
bone-like spikes that shielded its barrel-chest. Almost resembling a polar bear,
the beasts anatomy harboured thick sinewy muscle covered in blubber and
large amounts of fur. Massive bear-like arms supported its heavy frame,
paws were graced with meat hooked claws that remained unsheathed at all times.
defenses ▪ Strength, endurance, speed once momentum is gained.
weaknesses ▪ Heat/fire, tires easily.
body temperature ▪ -85C (-121F)
abilities ▪Same abilities as mortal form. Fur often emits a frost-like
aura, freezing blood, completely invisible in snow. Metamorphosis
is generated through the skull on her chest being brought to her face,
it's quick after an engulfment of shadows.contractBeing in a binding contract with this creature is a
disturbing paradox, it is unclear who holds the reigns in this situation. The individual
who seeks safety til death will need to sign a contract, this bounds the soul to Crypt
and upon death of the signatory she may do what she wishes with the soul given.
The second offering is by blood, a bite to the neck which Crypt commits; strangely
it feels warm and little pain is felt. This ensures an emotion bound but its an insidious act
for her saliva is detrimental to the hosts life and will slowly but surely poison them with
strains of parasitic pathogens much like a komodo dragons saliva.
