Personality
His job comes with many social pressures to stay under the radar, which is quite a trying task when you look like a walking force of nature. So behaving like a cold-shouldered asshole that wants to be left the hell alone is just part of the course. Even without his job in mind, Deimos has a temper simmering close to the surface tenting every early interaction with snaky sarcasm. Suffering severe PTSD he's put up thick emotional walls and coined socially destructive tactics to keep people away, for their sake. He's a deeply emotional person under it all and wishes he could convey them better. But his life has required more of his blind rage than any other method, so he accepts the idea of never being anything more than a monster. So his undying loyalty and passions go untapped. He tries to fill the void with one-night stands and heavy drinking habits.

Physical Appearance
Monoliths have varying control over their appearance depending on their experience and how long they've been a Monolith. Their True Forms are bestial and range in size and shape.
Human: A tan muscular man with a bad case of Resting Bitch Face. His physical age appears 35-ish, he’s 71", and he weighs around 300lb with long, wavy, dark brown/black hair he keeps up in a low bun. Sometimes he'll only pull back the front locks into a small ponytail to keep it out of his face. You'll find this dark hair everywhere else on his body too, excluding his face which is kept clean-shaven. He has dark brown eyes with faint crow's feet and freckles from sun damage, and a repeatably broken nose. His physique is muscular with a healthy amount of fat padding to soften his sharp edges, adding to the bulk of his already thick build. Many notable scars are littering his body. One across his neck was given to him by his late wife; knife cuts on his right arm and bullet impacts on his chest from mafia activity; scratches on his right shoulder and left forearm from a fight with another Monolith; stab wounds on his left arm and under his left ribs, ware mark on the right ankle, and lashes on his back are from his time spent as a gladiator.
Half-form: This can be any combination of his typically hidden features depending on his mood. Boar ears, glowing eyes, sharp claws, visible tusks, etc. He can choose to show these at will, however, at times when he’s overwhelmed by emotion these features will begin to seep through unintentionally.
Full monster: He rarely uses it due to the sheer size. Standing 24'1", close to the same height as a two-story building, he dawns the appearance of a large half-boar man reminiscent of the minotaur from Greek legend. With long dull claws and padded palms, he uses his long arms to walk on all fours when not in combat. Fur coats his body in varying lengths, the longest being along his back and head like a mane. His coat's texture feels bristly and coarse along the rest of his body, protecting his thick hide from environmental abrasions and cold.
Writers Note: There is an NSFW version attached to the Twitter post linked.

Spells
Spells must be learned and practiced to master.
Shared Pain: This spell can be used on small wounds. The caster can transfer the damage done to their subject to themselves. The caster uses their blood to write runes on their subject's wounded area. To complete the link the caster then uses their subject's blood on themselves, on the same location mirroring their subject's wound.
Blood for Blood: Specifically sacrificing the one who harmed the caster's subject to bring them back from the brink of death. This transfers all damage dealt to the sacrifice, killing them in the process. This spell can not be used if the subject has already ceased living.

Skills
Something the character has worked on perfecting physically, mentally, or academically
Weapons Master: Deimos has used many different weapons throughout his life, leaving him the skill to use: Staffs, swords and shields, bows, and too many gun types to count.
Hands-On: Hand-to-hand combat with Deimos is the worst place to be. From a young age, he was taught how to wrestle and was gifted with bone density and muscle growth to allow a hit to land without fazing him.

Monolithic Power
Monoliths have signature abilities unique to them requiring no learning outside of practice.
Bone Armor: As Deimos takes damage he has a passive ability where bone will regrow over heavily damaged parts of soft tissue. The more you damage him, the harder he hits, but the slower he moves due to the weight. this can affect anywhere on his body and can be forcefully activated if he self-inflicts. His most common move is to pound his fists into a hard surface to build the bone around his knuckles before engaging in combat. The bone can also be broken off and used as a weapon. This power can be used in any form.

Extras
Deimos's eyesight is shit. His sense of smell and hearing are heightened like a boar's, this also means however his eyes take a hit. He didn't technically learn how to read till glasses were invented due to it.
He refuses to cut his hair, wearing it as a sign of pride after having it all shaved off when sold into slavery to become a gladiator. Ever since he's put extra effort into avoiding being struck in the head and fire.
The car he drives is a 2008 Ford Excursion, Black. Perfect for transporting large loads.
His weapon of choice that he keeps on his hip at all times when on the job is a gun called The Judge. It's a five-shot revolver chambered for .410 bore shot shells and the .45 Colt cartridge.
