Suggested Characteristics
Demon hunters often spend all their time and energy on honing their skills or hunting their prey to the detriment of other aspects of their life.
They also easily fall into a vicious cycle where they slowly become the thing they hate the most. They can without a second thought kill anyone they deem guilty, but is murder not wrong when they are the ones doing it?
You have learned to live with the terror that haunts you. You are a survivor, who can be very protective of those who bring light into your darkened life.
