Faust is a very simple-minded entity, his birth primarily in being a tool first and a person second. Many of his mental faculties were dashed away in exchange for higher obedience and less moral restraint. That isn’t to say he’s entirely devoid of personality or sense of self; his mentality is simply limited to that of a small child’s.

Often quiet and reclusive, the homunculus often prefers environments low on external stimuli, enjoying alone time or entertainment that can be accomplished in solitude. Though incapable of speech due to the mutations altering the structure of his mouth and vocal chords, he does appear to be fully cognizant of human speech and can communicate desires - as basic as they typically are - through gestures or handwriting.

Thought to be due to the hollow nature instilled in him amidst his fetal period, Faust has an apparent liking to the misfortune of others. He often gravitates to souls who are in great personal suffering or anguish, holding close to them like a child would to a mother. Having frequent exposure to these types appears to be a form of enrichment.

» History:

(Disclaimer: This is an abridged version of the real history as to avoid giving away some elements I plan to divulge on with planned events, as it would not make as much sense without the greater context supplied by those developments. If requested, I will send the grader the full history, but all critical points are addressed by this version.)

The conditions of Faust’s creation are shrouded in mystery, the only thing certain is that he is considered the property of Ulberg Arms & Innovation as a creator of more specialized contracts for the company. Previously held in a form of stasis, Faust was awoken to then become in service to them, his first act alive being in formulating a contract between Catherine Reed and the owner of the company, Anders the 15th, an agreement to kill the man in order to receive all of his belongings within eleven years.

He is a well kept secret, held in the company’s main building within his own quarters.

Of Artificial Birth
Being a Homunculus, or an entity successfully gestated and altered via artificial means, this gifts Faust with unnaturally enhanced spiritual reserves in his particular case, thoroughly cultivated to be an entity of spiritual and physical note. Though he possesses no experience in fighting, his pool of energy has been significant since birth and has only since grown with time and utilization.

Demon’s Nature
Atop the circumstances of his birth are the fact that he was intentionally induced with a hollow’s aspect whilst in utero, the controlled application of such resulting in what could be moreso considered a further in between of Fullbringer and Hollow - a true hybrid. This has resulted in his physiology and psychology to be greatly altered, bearing reptilian traits, a higher baseline for Hollow Factor, and differing wants and needs than that of a typical human.

Atop this, it has also impacted his natural capacity for Fullbring - instead of being able to manipulate the souls of objects in general, it appears his potency has been entirely focused into his more specific ability and Hollow nature, consequently leaving him permanently inept in both Bringer Light and Full Manifestation.

Incredible Regenerative Factor
Faust had intentional pathing for his hollow abilities to be focused almost entirely on self-preservation, as if there was as many measures to prevent unexpectedly aggressive behaviors or instincts to arise as possible. Instead of possessing any extensive abilities, it has been instead concentrated into a high regenerative factor. Many injuries, short of losing his head, are capable of being salvaged and recovered from with enough time.

Low-Grade Hierro
Atop his regenerative factor, Faust has developed something akin to the natural barrier Arrancar possess, however it isn’t anywhere comparable to those on his supposed level. His durability is significantly enhanced past human bounds thanks to this, but that’s about it.



» Affinity Name: Mephistopheles
» Affinity Appearance: Any contract that fulfills Mephistopheles’ base conditionals

» Activation Phrase: Messenger of the Adversary, you wicked presence; I call upon your hand to seal our fates. One may gain, and another loses.

» Affinity Abilities:
(This is intended to be a purely narrative ability! OOC consent is required for this ability to be utilized on ANY played characters, in consideration that the failing condition may inflict irreversible harm or death on another character. General NPCs are fair game.)

For Mephistopheles to take hold, one must compose a contract with this exact order of details - failure to clearly define each of these (As in, in a way the recipient would bear an understanding of the intent) will result in no binding effect:

1) The subjects the contract concerns (The people’s identified names [incl. pseudonyms])
2) The purpose of the contract (Ex. an employment opportunity, an agreement on a deal, a promise for something of value)
3) Objective terms for successful adherence alongside a duration or specific time frame (Ex. Remaining employed until x date, needing to accomplish something before y date)
4) The conditions that are considered a failure to adhere (Ex. Running out of time before accomplishing an action, going back on the agreement in a definitive manner)
5) The punishment for violating the contract (Ex. Oftentimes the removal of a body part such as an organ or limb - this part is often determined by Faust himself but bargaining for something less severe is possible)
The acknowledgement field (Signing area)

Drawbacks
- The conditions of the contract must be fair and achievable for the subject(s), or else it will be rendered void, be it upon signing or someway along into their period. No reward is entitled to the subject in this situation, however.
- The rewards for adhering to the contract’s terms cannot be willfully rescinded, else the punishment for the subject’s violation is turned onto the composer(s) of the contract. If the rewards are lost or destroyed, the contract will simply be rendered void.
- The subject must be in an objective state considered capable of consent agreed upon by all present parties (Ex. Of the age of majority, sober, sound of mind)

This character's existence is in service to both Catherine's matters personally, as well as to serve an example of something for a greater plot I am planning to conduct with her direct leading. I am not interested in utilizing this character for any means past giving context for certain things Catherine will be involved with or composing, and limited social interactions if needed.
