Origin Info/Details: John Cade was a small time cop based in Lost Haven. After participating in a drugs bust at the home of crime boss Salvatore Costello, he was responsible for the accidental shooting of Costellos daughter. Salvatore was locked away in maximum security but his two sons walked free. Cade instantly became earmarked by the Costello Brothers and a month later he returned home from a long night shift to find both his sons and his wife hanging in his garage.
A note was stapled to the head of his wife,
"Kindest Regards, The Costellos."
Cade lost it, heading out into the night to confront the two sons but it was an ambush. In the rain soaked streets he was gunned down, but still alive. Lying in a pool of rainwater and blood Cade was alive long enough to feel his limbs being hacked away by the Costello brothers.
It was upon his death that John was blinded by blackness. He was told that he was the last in a bloodline spreading back across thousands of years. His ancestory was that of the Dark Light, a dark mystic power that transformed the wielder into a demonic form, into an Angel of Vengeance.
He would be granted life and the opportunity to seek his revenge in exchange for souls of the damned. Cade agreed without hesitation.
Cade was ressurected, his body flowing with the Dark Light. His mission; to take the souls of the damned and bring them to task for their crimes.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
It was upon these rain lashed streets that I found out who I truly was. I lay just a few feet from here, where the prying eyes of the law could not see. It was a place of filth, of grime and deviance. My lifeblood was soaking the slick black concrete of the road below. Splashing against a crumpled cigarette carton and an old newspaper that had become lodged on the bars of a drain cover.
For a long time I had believed that my life was worth something. I believed that the job I did was making a difference. Nowadays, I can say with a large amount of certainty that those beliefs were a ****ing joke.
The Costellos. I can still see the sneering faces of those slimy little ****ers as they hacked off my arms, right before I bled to death. There time will come. Now though, I'm stood facing another just like them. He was in on it too. Just an errand boy with a squishy face and a look in his eye like he's about to piss his pants. He's just as guilty.
"Where are the Costellos?" I ask, my voice a growl through gritted teeth.
"I-I don't know man! I really don't know!" He's squeaking, his voice scraping into a higher pitch as his life flashes before him.
"Tell me."
"I can't. They'll kill me! they'll ****in' kill me!"
I slam him into a wall, my fingers tightening against his jugular. I can feel him gulping for air as I lift him from his feet. "No they won't. Because I'm going to kill you. So how about before you swallow your last breath you do something worthwhile and decent with your life and condemn those mother****ers?"
"I-I can't! Please -oh God please- I got a wife man, kids too! Please!" He was crying. Oh, and he'd finally pissed his pants. Pathetic bastard was loyal to a tee though.
"Yeah, I had a family too. Until you and your buddies came along. You want to know where my boys are? My boys are rotting in wooden six feet under the ground. Innocent children dead because of you mother ****ers. NOW TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!"My fingers tighten, pushing against his flesh, bursting blood vessels.
"Oh God -they're- you can find 'em in their club, Blue Coyote, it's a strip bar down in south LH, they're in their mosty nights. Please don't kill me... please... pl-"
I snap his neck with a violent twist and fling his body into the trash. Even that is too good a resting place for this worthless piece of ****. The gentle patter of raindrops echoes through the silence as I watch the lifeless corpse soak into the ground at my feet. The night is young and the darkness screams for more bloodshed.
I'll happily provide it.
They call me Raven.
The Angel of Vengeance.
