Backstory
Balthazar is a devil hunter through a gift rather than willfully joining a faction.
His family's ancestors had connections to the supernatural before the second tear even happened, and were very skilled at the exchange of gifts to a demon noblewoman known as Dama Moura.
This was often in the form of a contract or offering of something she wanted from the human world. Over time the family became almost friends with this entity, and gave more and more extravagant gifts as they were a guaranteed supply of many favours.
Balthazar was fairly young when the second tear happened, attuned to the workings of the supernatural his family were aware and afraid, but Dama Moura had a plan: she would gift him warriorly durability and strength, as well as First Crush, a weapon she'd crafted herself (she was proficient as a weaponsmith and enchantress, showing both in the construction in this bewitching warhammer.)
Unable to aid him any more-she could only do so much, as the family had to work hard for the resources of this trade-Balthazar
He took up odd jobs fighting smaller demons, slowly moving to the relatively bigger guys, nowadays he's a so-so demon hunter but with immense potenntial.
Traits
Inhumane Toughness
You can push through pain and take a sound beating without it wearing you down. This may be because your body is very hard to damage, or maybe because your pain perception is reduced. Whatever the case may be, you can endure a bigger punishment than your peers and push through the pain, making you much tougher to beat.
Inhumane Strength
Through thorough training, natural disposition or some magical modification to your muscle structure, you are capable of imparting a lot more force onto objects in the world. You are capable of performing feats of strength that go well beyond what your peers can do, lifting heavier weights and throwing objects with a great deal more force.

Upgrades:
Aspect-Like Upgrade; Lovely Gift Magic:
This upgrade allows this weapon to do magic in relation to creating things that induce positive stimuli, encompassing creating obstacles and projectiles with the effect of causing shallow but intense infatuation that distracts during combat. Visually this manifests as pink, iridescent shimmers with heart shaped sparkles, which forms into a projectile or obstacle. These obstacles/projectiles are not solid.
Combat Foci
Name: Disruptor
Description: This guy's goal in combat is between being a damage sponge and a misdirector, using high "hitstun" attacks, distractions and deflections in tandem with the grit and willpower to stay standing.
