The man now known as Divine Darkness was once a top-ranking elite in the Tsoo Clan. As a beginning inductee into the clan, his powers far surpassed those of his peers and he quickly rose through the ranks. However, his superiors caught sight of this and began to see him as a threat to their own power. So, they conspired in a plot against him...
He was tricked into believing that a specific mystical relic would give him more power. It instead cursed him and drained his very soul. He was then left to die in the barren wastelands of 'Boomtown,' but he would not give up so easily...
Using his knowledge of the magical Tsoo tattoes, he carved into his flesh mystic symbols that trapped the dark essence of the relic inside of his body so that his soul remained intact. However, the change warped his human form substantially and he is as he appears now because of it...
His vengeance against the Tsoo will not be halted. It will be swift and terrible and he will achieve it by any means necessary. Even if it means teaming up with the heroes he once loathed...
Shin Ochigawa was once a member of the secret European government-funded group known as the Shadow Corps. This team consisted of five elite hunters specifically trained to track down and eliminate various gangs of vampires wherever they may be. They did this through the extensive use of garlic, silver and ultraviolet light through technology as their weaponry. They did their job incredibly well. Well enough to attract the attention of various other governments and organizations. They were eventually called upon by the Germans who were witnessing an epidemic growth in the number of 5th Column and their "Vampyrs." The Germans called for the purging of this radical group as well as their scientific abominations. The German government offered two squads of their best military units to work in conjunction with the Shadow Corps in order to bring them down. The Shadow Corps accepted the job, with the mind set that it would be just like any other vampire raid. That, however... proved to be a fatal mistake.
The weaponry utilized by the Shadow Corps team proved to have little or no effect on the Vampyrs and the battle that ensued between the two groups became nothing short of a slaughter for them. They quickly called for a general retreat, but it proved to be too little too late. With three of his teammates already dead and one that lay dying in his arms, Shin sat stunned and helpless as the evac chopper carried him alone away into safety from the massacre.
With his team dead and government funds pulled from the project, Shin abandoned all duties to his country and left, vowing to wreak his vengeance upon the 5th Column and their horrific experiments. He donned the name Hunter X and hunts the Vampyrs to this day...
The standard issue Shadow Corps arsenal included an armored suit that not only protected the wearer from most lethal attacks, but also enhanced the wearer's strength, reflexes, senses, and speed. Without permission, Shin took the suit with him as a vital aid to his mission.
As the specialist scout and sniper in the Shadow Corps, Shin's suit also had some unique modifications made to it that differed from the rest of his team. As the scout and sniper, he needed to be the least burdened with weaponry and have the ability to check the surroundings and relay his findings back to the team.
As essential as his handy silver bullet-shootin' sniper rifle was, its effectiveness in close combat was close to nill as it was large and cumbersome. So, silver-laced adamantium claws that could be extracted and retracted by the simple push of a button were installed along the metal forearms of his suit. They were used as his only means of defense when vampires would close in. These proved to be invaluable as he still uses them as his primary death-dealers today.
The telescopic eyepiece on his faceplate not only has the effect of making him look cool, but serves a purpose as well. Through the use of fiber optic cameras, Shin could stealthily infiltrate a base, observe the enemy's activities around corners and at a distance, and relay messages back to his teammates. It also allows him to see in infared lighting and serves as a zooming in-and-out tool to see enemies at a distance.

Cool in general, but I must say that your screen shots of Divine Darkness are really neat. His power effects go well with the outfit, too.

Agreed, Divine has a cool look. Nice background story too! (Don't think I'd want to get on the wrong side of him..)
