Physical Description
Gaius has been around for a long time. Though due to his zombification, his appearance remains that of when he was 18. His golden armor still shines as bright as the first day he put it on. With the change of time though, he had to make many modifications just to keep up. The prongs on top of his helmet have been removed over years of combat, his faceplate used to have many holes that would limit his visibility, he got tired of this very quickly and decided to replace it with a visor made of plexiglass and reinforced with microfibers. This new visor of his looks like a solid gold plate with no eye holes or mouth hole. He prefers it this was as one o fthe best way of keeping his condition to himself.
He armor as a whole has been modified so that he can traverse space without being affected. Amplifiers were place at the tips of his fingers in order for him to send more powerful electric shocks than before. With all of the electronics that now augment his suit he has to be careful or he will burn out everything with electricity he generates.
As stated before, his appearance has not changed. his pale skin and murky blond locks are the same as 5000 years ago. Not one scar or blemish has accumulated on his skin. One thing about Gaius has changed though. The golden glimmer that once pitted his eyes has darkened to a bloody red.
Personality
The years have turned Gaius's introverted personality into a maniacal, cynical one. His regard for human life has dropped far below that of the worst murderers and fiends. He no longer tries to use diplomacy to get around his problems, only as a tool to open up the defenses of his prey. He speak freely and rudely. He cares very little for the opinions of others as he sees all other humanoid life as a energy source. With every person that he keeps and absorbs he always gives the body a true burial via lightning.
He likes to read anything and everything, his mind is constantly looking for new information to drag into his mind. he prefers to read medical journals and studies as it helps to further his understand of biological creatures.
Magic/Abilities
Gaius the ability to manipulate any source of lightning. He sends it to and from his finger tips and hands to create spears or flashes of blades of pure lightning. In his long unlife he has learned to cast his magic without need for symbols or activation words. Otherwise he uses his fists, which pack an enormous punch.
He also has one other ability, this power seems to stem directly from the armor. The ability to steal the life-force from another person. He does this in order to keep the condition of his own body at the peak of performance as he is constantly decaying, especially with the use his lightning magic. This ability is still very hard for him to control and must completely incapacitate his foe before using it.
Relationships
Every person he has killed.
"Lyle"
History
Starting at age 18. Gaius always loved the mountains. He constantly hiked them and gazed over the lands from them. Ironic that's where he dies the first time. There was an unexpected blizzard that trapped Gaius in a cave near the peak of a mountain. The blizzard raged for days and days, unceasing and freezing. Something didn't want Gaius to get out.
In this cave there was a treasure, the golden armor of an unknown knight. It was very precariously placed upon a stone near the back of the cave, as if it was waiting for Gaius. He quickly donned it, hoping to block out of the biting cold. The armor seemed to conform to Gaius's person the longer he wore it, eventually it felt like a second layer of skin.
The blizzard just didn't let up. Not too long after obtaining this new armor, Gaius fell into a deep sleep. To his dismay, this sleep was actually his death, the cold was just too much to survive. Some days later, Gaius opened his eyes, he knew something was different. It felt like he was still for too long, that he should have been dead. Soon after this thought he realized, that maybe he wasn't alive anymore. Just something had wanted him around to keep it in this world, The Armor of Favour.
That's what he thought at first anyways. Gaius has had only 3 "friends" throughout his 5000 year lifespan. Two of which are dead and the other he doesn't know where he is anymore. He isn't really looking for him though, so it's okay in his eyes.
Gaius has spent his entire life up to this point killing people to sustain his own life. on many occasions he has almost fallen to the ravenous hunger of his armor. Though he is still around with quite a large bounty on his head. He spends most of his time drifting around colonies and space stations learning the newest medical procedures and "taking care" of the stragglers in the lower circles.
The most important thing to know about Gaius is that he isn't one person anymore. The accumulated life-forces that he has absorbed over the years all kept their own wills. The armor does it's best to suppress these voices and keep Gaius focused. But as long as he continues to take more lives, it is most probable that Gaius will lose control over these souls and most likely his continued existence.
