I'm surprised you never saw them. Graver posted his when he first painted it and I posted the other 2 when I got them.

I'll bite the bait.

Demon's Redemption is a superhero with roots in Christian Ideology. Though he once was a terrible murderer, being part of the Hellions, his membership in the gang had lead to the death of his girlfriend, encouraging him to break away from the gang and seek redemption. Though divine intervention, he was granted super-regenerative abilities, and now proudly wields his sword, and bears the holy cross upon his outfit.

well let me post my bios so you guys can read.

Here is Gideon's bio

The immortal hero now known as Gideon was once known as Rick "Ricochet" Benitez. Once he was a vigilante. He took the law into his own hands shortly after the death of his best friend. He had found out who was responsible, a drug lord Marco Ramirez, who was also a powerful vampire known as Stone Cold to the underworld. Gideon was killed by Stone Cold in his quest for revenge. He found himself in hell because of his selfish reason to murder all those out of his own personal vendetta. There he saw a vision of Christ who told him it was time to begin a new life. He freed him from his bonds of hell with a sword made of his own essence. Christ gave him the sword, which was the sword of the spirit called 'Nazarene'. He then returned him to the world with a new life and a new purpose. When he returned to his body in the hospital (Which on life support) the power of the sword and the return of his spirit was so great, that it caused all the life support machines to explode. This caused his body to be incinerated and as a result, his body was reformed. He was no longer Rick Benitez, he now has become Gideon the dark savior. He can not kill like a reckless vigilante no more, but now it is time for him to hunt the creatures of the night. The very creatures that were truly responsible for the death of his friend and himself. The hunters have now become....... the hunted.

Here is Gabrie's bio

Millionair playboy Gabriel Delgado was a proffesional wrestler for Supreme Fighting Championships. A federation that mixeed pro wrestling with mixed martial arts. Gabriel held every single title there under his name Gabriel Seraph. One fateful night Gabriel was speeding down the highway in his lamborghini and crashed. The car soon after caught on fire and exploded with him in it. At that moment the Angel Micheal appeared and gave him a flaming sword telling him that he was chosen along with 3 other people to serve a greater purpous. Gabriel then saw a white dove flying above him. The sword absorbed the flames and Gabriel found that he was transformed some how. His hair had turned white as well, he also sprouted wings and the flames were no longer burning him. Gabriel walked out of the burning wreckage in front of many eye witnesses. Since that fateful night Gabriel Seraph became known as a Hero. No longer a normal man but an angelic being as his name sake.

Here is another. This is an old screenshot. I since changed the colors of is costume. He is The Shadow Saint Zuriel

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y5/...8-19-25-35.jpg

The Being known as the Shadow Saint is a being Created by God. He was created and given the power over darkness and light. He was created as the lord of Chaos and order.God created this angelic being as a last attempt to get rid of the evil that was in the world. No longer would sinners inflict suffering on the innocent. No longer would people murder out of greed self satisfaction or any other reason. These sinners would soon have to answer to Gods' personal enforcer. For once they would feel the wrath of God. It was when he made his first appearence on earth that he was Given the name Shadow Saint. Here appeared in an alley where a woman was about to be [censored] in front of her 5 year old son. The woman described shadows decending upon her attacker. She then heard a blood curdling scream. when the shadows disappeared here was this man with black feathered wings and a hood standing in front of her holding the lifeless body of the rapist. The woman thanked him. When asked about the incident she said The Shadow Saint saved her.

I like the concept. So basically she was an angel that was transformed into a demon when she enterted this dimension. Am I correct?

In her world, she's a holy angel. One of those weird quirks about dimensions that holy angels there look exactly like demons here aside from the preference for white/gold there and black/red here Bat wings and tails and ram horns and pentagrams are holy symbols there, feathered wings and crosses are signs of evil, just a fun twist on what makes a demon a demon and an angel an angel when you have things like the Praetorian dimensions where things are a bit backwards

I assume this would fall under Mythological, even if it is my own myth.

This is Ja'tal.

He is a magical kinetic/psychic defender. He is from an ancient tribe that has a curse that befalls the first born male of every family. They are born with a third eye. This third eye controls each family's inner demon. A demon lord, known only as "The Wicked," cast a curse on the original tribe turning the eldest male of each family into a blood thirsty, uncontrollable demon. While the other males in the tribe attempted to capture, stop, or in worst case scenario attempt to kill the demons, the females started working on some form of magical incantation to control the demons. In a gruesome battle, the Czech countryside flowed red with blood as the males protected the females during their chant. Much to "The Wicked's" dismay, the chant worked and each demon was transformed back into a human, but with a strange new feature, a third eye. If this third eye closes, the demon is once again freed until the "host" can control him again. Once the host reaches 21, he no longer grows older. He will remain 21 until he has a male son. Once the male son is born, and the curse is lifted, will he begin to grow old with his wife. As the families began to grow, each first born male in the family is born with this third eye, while their father's eye closes for good. The curse is passed, from father to son. Being the a descendant of this curse, Ja'tal came to Paragon City in search of a cure or a permanent way to exercise the demon. He hopes that the many heroes, scientist, and magi of the city might be able to assist him. Unbeknownst to them, Ja'tal is 313 years old. He vowed never to have a child until he has found a permanent cure.

Ja'tal in demon form.

Here is a Revision of the Shadow Saint character complete with new Screenshot and added stuff on the bio

The woman thanked him. When asked about the incident she said The Shadow Saint saved her. Later it was found out that his name was Zuriel. The meaning of the name is The rock of God. Since his arrival he has passed final judgement On all. The good and innocent would recieve blessings like healing, While the evil would perish at his hands. From what we gathered about his powers over light and darkness, He is able to heal and give life as well as shoot beams of holy light energy from his eyes and hands. He can also Drain a person's life force, cover his hands in negative energy making them deadly weapons or even shoot negative dark energy from his hands. Some people have been quoted in saying the apocalypse is upon us and the Hand of God has been sent to smite evil.
