I am pretty new at RPGing in general and have only played a few different campaigns. Really in love with the game and the role playing aspect of it but not so good at the technical side of things.
Problem is I am playing in a group with an arrogant, "I have to control the game and every player in it , beat the world" min maxer. Took advantage of our current rusty DM and is now playing a level 5 about to become 7 half infernal unholy scion? and we play disregarding if i am saying it correctly. Strong enough to take out a high level celestial and arrogant enough to yell at the DM " you have no challenge for my power, DM" and so forth.
Were playing an evil campaign and I for one am sick of being bullied by his character and now have the opportunity to start another character . DM is being nice and as far as races or classes as long as they are believable and true to the world. I need help with a character built from the ground up that can defend himself against mr sunshine up there.
He is dead but about to be resurrected at level 7 . At level 5 he is immune to mind affecting spells has a magical ring with a whole bunch of evel spells that can sap strength and con , damage reduction of 5 and heals 4 hp per round. Think his god is aragoth or something . Half infernal Unholy Scion
My character has to be evil aligned , human looking and level 7 ( again ECLs are disregarded)
My stat rolls are in no particular order 18, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14 ( I have the newb gift of good rolls usually lol)
Any help would be appreciated and the only reason I am posting here is because this guy makes the game play experience unbearable and not enjoyable.
Sounds like you need something that hits hard enough to blast through his DR and has high enough saves to not get affected by his spells.
I'd probably go with an invulnerable rager barbarian witch hunting/spell sundering bada$$ with a big 2h weapon and high crit. I'd even think about going with a dwarf with Steel Soul/Glory of Old and Iron Will. It'll get you saves that are on par or better than a Paladin, you hit like a mac truck and you can slam through his spells.
So a quick build:
Race:
Dwarf
Stats:
Str 19 (level 4 bonus here and the rest as you level up)
Dex 17
Con 18 (20)
Int 15
Wis 16 (18)
Cha 14 (12)
Feats:
1 Power Attack - More Damage
1b Weapon Focus (Falchion) - Falchion has good damage and 18-20 crit (doubles to 15-20 w/ improved crit OR keen)
3 Raging Vitality (keep you alive feat tax on barbarians)
5 Extra Rage Power - Lesser Beast Totem
7 Extra Rage Power - Beast Totem (extra armor)
9 Iron Will - More Will saves!
11 Combat Reflexes - To take advantage of CAGM @ level 12
Rage Powers:
2 Superstition
4 Witch Hunter
6 Spell Sunder
8 Reckless Abandon
10 Greater Beast Totem
12 Come and Get Me
Might also try the Anti-Paladin Archtype/Alternate Class for Paladin. With the diseese ability even if he attacks you he can pick up some seoius bad ju-ju from his erant blunder. Possibly drag in 1/2 Dragon with the type that gives you immunity to his favorite damage type of spell, like Red Dragon if he favors Fire. The Half Dragon gives you wings too and a Breath weapon 1/day + a boatload of stat boosts.
So... If you have trouble with this mess, and the player, have you tried talking to the GM about it before starting a big war? This is obviously a bit of stress for you and if someones not having fun there is a problem.

This Character made me tremble with glee but unfortunately we are on Krynn pre-cat so slumbering dragons and no orcs. Love your style though so fire another one my way if you will

problem is the guy that has all the books and who hosts it has played with this guy for 20 years almost 90% of that time just playing one on one ( hence the guy playing like hes solo and not for the good of the group) so even though he is a huge anti social ass I am kind of stuck with him because it goes part and parcel with my other friends. Small town and not to many people love the D20 stuff

Do you mainly use Pathfinder material or 3.X D&D, since you are playing on Krynn and still using ECL?
If it's mainly Pathfinder then lets take the awesome Barbarian Build from above and toss in or two Templates/Monster races. The above one seems a bit over the top IMO.

when we started it was 3.5 and then we converted to pathfinder as we prefer it and the DM didn't realize it was easy enough to do. We don't have any ecl so it kinda makes it a powerful game and the guy i have issues with killed a high level celestial when he was at fifth level (though the DM wasn't playing it the best ) so I want something that holds its own.

It should also be noted, that unless your GM is really screwing with the DR system, the Half-Fiend Template only gives DR/5-10 Magic so quite literally ANY +1 weapon would bypass it as they are MAGIC weapons.
Instead of the climactic world sundering battle that might take place if you went head to head with him, you could always go the Chaotic Evil Assassin rout with Rogue and Ninja with an incredibly high INT and Death-strike him right after he finishes a combat encounter with a foe and is getting ready to rub all your faces in it.
"YAY! I'm the greatest and all your Characters are... ERK! My... Grrk!" *Flop* Sneak Attacked. Just make sure the GM knows before hand what your intention would be, as you don't want to be the only one at the table who thought this plan would work. That way the GM has a perfect example to show the gamer what it's like being on the other end of the poky-stick.
Have you tried sitting down with the offending player in question? It's possible that this is what he thinks is fun, and isn't really thinking of you guys. Sit down with him and the DM and just talk about it before going and taking out his character. Explain what your gripes with him are out-of-game. If he's as much of an ass as you think he is, leave if you're not having fun.
There are two mantras that you should always repeat:
1) Keep OOC out of game, IC in game
and
2) No gaming is better that bad gaming.
Don't be passive-aggressive about this and try to 'teach him a lesson' in game, it gets you absolutely nowhere, and in fact is just going to cause more problems.
This is coming directly from experience, and from talking to people that have stupidly done the same thing.
If you're worried that you won't find another game, don't. It's not that hard to find a group online- there are several pick-up groups that exist on roll20, and it's not hard to find a VTT group that might want to be a little bit more traditional.
In addition I bet you that your group is not the only group that plays tabletop games. If your town is big enough to support a FLGS, go there, I bet you that there will be either flyers looking for players, or the manager there will know of another game that's taking place, and might be able to set you up with that person.
