Poo, amigo, friend, wonderful human bean. I was wondering... looks down and lightly kicks at the dirt with shoes... if maybe I could join this rp, cause it looks like a jolly good time and stuff. But I won't be able to get a character sheet until after finals. Finger steeples. If that is okay. Gives puppy dog eyes.

In the distance eyes glow with hatred as Poo's fanclub writes BETH in all red letters across their 'Must be ELIMINATED list' Hissing can be slightly heard, however Beth-Senpai remains oblivious.

So... Should I work on my character sheet?

I'll probably need help. The lore looks like it came from Tolkien. :)

@DarkravenWell, I believe I will allow this character. However, being a demon means that the Gods that allow Paladin and cleric magic wont answer your calls, so you might wanna choose a difference class. Also, your character will be particularly...thirsty.

And anyone who has holy items that ward/sense demonic taint will be able to detect you.

Oooh, that's a toughie.

She'll probably be a Knight then, of an order that hunts demons.

What else could detect demons? Like, can a person of strong magical power sense them?

Would a heavy flesh-and-blood disguise make the 'demonic essence' harder to detect? I'll need to determine how she's been able to avoid detection for so long without even knowing that she's a demon...

@DarkravenI cant help you with divine detection, but I don't mind you wearing an amulet that helps you against magical detection unless someone tries to scry you specifically. If you wish

Magical Amulet eh? Sounds good to me. I guess her deep disguise would only act as physical disguise then... As in, when she gets cut, she'd bleed red human blood rather than golden sulphur for blood. Instead of crying black ichor, she'd have normal tears. At least until she loses her disguise by dying or some insane spell that forces her out of hiding.

I'll come up with a character sheet tonight.

Man, that was tough! Took me like 2 hours or more to craft this first draft of a character sheet. It's essentially like creating 2 character sheets in one. Let me know if there're any holes in the CS, because I'm sure there are, inevitably. Also, let me know if you need anything changed.

EDIT: I'm still making changes, filling up holes an such. Lemme know if anything else needs change as I work.

Username: Darkraven

Character Name: Jezebeth (Knight of the Guardian Order, Ruby of the Knighthood, Bane of Demons, Poverty & Famine, Daughter of None)


Race/Species: Human


Gender: Female


Age: 31


Career/Class: Knight of the Guardian Order, a Demon Slayer


Weapons:
  • Kasdeya's Deathstroke: A 2,000 years old Elvish long sword reputedly used to kill Kasdeya, a notorious Succubus fond of poisons and potions. Causes great pain to demons if they touch it. Deadly against demon-flesh, otherwise mundane, if only extremely sharp and near-impossible to destroy. Found again in Jezebeth's travels.
  • Guardian Order Kite Shield: A shield bearing the seal of the Guardian Order, a tower. Well made, but mundane.
  • Knightly Dagger: A dagger with white guard and handle, used as a last resort or a tool. Of no special properties.
  • Light Crossbow: A weak crossbow that can be loaded quickly, but releases bolts with a reduced force, something in between bows and crossbows.
  • Gauntlets: If nothing else, a pair of well-spun steel gauntlets could be deadly.



Physical Description (as detailed as possible please, pictures not accepted.): While not tall at 5 feet 8, her beauty has been the talk of Andred ever since her entrance into the Guardian Order of Knights and minor fame. Blonde hair like gold or sunshine frames her face, falling to just below her shoulders, with curls left and right of her face. When on a mission or in battle, this is tied into a tight bun. High cheeks like royalty. Straight, diagonal brows. Supple, healthy lips. Pale skin, silver eyes. Enough curves on her body that even her armour could make a man blush - This, of course, she covers with a cloak and the colours of her Guardian Order.

That said, she is frequently found in her platemail armour of steel like silver and gold-gilding and linings. Otherwise, when at official events, she would often wear the white tunic of the Order with an abstract tower on the torso, or dresses of pleasant colours in parties.

She moves with a grace seen on ethereals, and fights not like the stereotypical hard-headed and brute strength of a Knight, but with agility, lithe grace and a little roguish misdirection and guile.

As if sculpted by the Gods themselves... Though jealous whispers suggest that her beauty is unnatural and the product of a deal with a devil.



Armor: Jezebeth wears platemail armour of the lighter variety, simply because she is not strong enough to carry the heaviest plates that knights are known for. But it is a fully body armour, complemented by a shield, cloak and various pieces around the waist and chest announcing the presence of the Guardian Order.


Equipment/Other She has a horse bred for swiftness. A backpack that tends to sit on it if not on her containing whatever she will need to survive and travel lightly. Rations, a change of clothes, some medicinal herbs and bandages. What is most prominent is the amulet around her neck, which is usually hidden her armour and shirt, a strange amulet with a ruby for a centrepiece - containing strange magic. Even Jezebeth knows not what it is for, except that she needs it and would not take it off. She figures it to be an important heirloom whose origin is lost to time and her amnesia.


Mental Description/Personality:Jezebeth is outwardly kind and thoughtful, a creative soul who channels her imagination into helping others, telling anecdotes and uplifting people. Her solution to problems tend to be rooted in eloquence, skill and intellect, not brutality, cruelty and unneeded cunning. She is a known philanthropist, if she isn't on her missions to slay demons or any foul creatures, humanoid or otherwise, that the Order wants dead.

But deep down, she is conflicted and swaying from one extreme or another - something which she has to get used to ever since waking up in the middle of an open field with no recollection of who she is. Her missions as a demon-slaying knight demands discipline and focus in all aspects of her life. It demands wisdom, self-sacrifice. But deep down, she wants, no, craves a break from this. Celibacy feels like a fool's concept in the face of her deeply-nestled need for companionship and bodily pleasures. She wants to throw caution to the wind, and embrace a wilder side. She wants to indulge for her own ends, just because.

But day by day, she wills herself to stop this madness before it begins, praying to one God or another that many say would listen, only to feel empty and ignored. Nevertheless, she has been successful (most of the time) in living the life as expected of the ideal, moral knight, as a defender of mankind and a role model to all. Because deep down, she also know that she wants to be something more.



Goals: Something in the Southland calls to her. For many months, she ignores it, thinking it to be another fancy of hers to be wild. But she could resist no more. Eventually, she has rationalised it so far that it is her mission to slay demons in the Southlands, to clean the layered taint and filth.


Background/History:
  • Jezebeth wakes up on the open plains, with no memories of who she is or where she came from. All she knows is the name 'Jezebeth', and all she has is an amulet sitting on her breast. Not even clothes on her back did she have.
  • She stumbles upon a kindly old farmer and his family, who took her in as one of his own. She has learnt much from him as she toiled on his farm to repay his kindness.
  • A Demon of Wrath terrorises the countryside, eventually reaching the farm and killing most of the family, including the old farmer. Enraged, she slays the beast with nothing but a pitchfork and a rusty sword, finding surprising aptitude in herself on the task.
  • She was witnessed by a few Guardian Knights, who took her in as an initiate and squire.
  • Jezebeth gets married to one of the surviving farmers, a lucky man who finds opportunity in employment in an Andred city as a warehouse master.
  • She ascends to Knighthood after slaying another troublesome Demon of Lust, a Succubus, loose in the city. Somehow or other, she is able to instinctively predict her moves and anticipate her, eventually catching up and slaying her.
  • She bore a child whom she names Elizabeth.
  • There are times when there is little threat of demons or the more usual dangers. She spends this time on her family or equally heroic acts of philanthropy, feeding and taking care of the poor.
  • She has since become also known as the Ruby of the Knighthood, a lady of immense beauty, and just as infinite of beauty, courage, grace and strength. A subject of minor fame that she is even invited to dine with the nobility of Andred.
  • Years passed with many obstacles met and overcome. A stray incubus kills her husband and nearly her daughter when it attempted to corrupt her. She grieves.
  • The Southlands call to her. She answers the call with a few other knights and soldiers of the Guardian Order. Leaving behind her daughter to a close friend, and her city.
  • She is eventually all that is left of the expedition into the Southlands. Her fortune runs low, as few demons are slain and ALL of her sword-brothers and sisters are killed eventually.

No problem. I'm probably going to add one or two things anyway. I forgot to describe her horns and her ability to drain energy or magic by fornication and even touching someone.

Touching someone I might not allow unless it's extremely weak though. Might as well not go that route. @Darkraven

It'll be extremely weak. By touching, I meant... Um... Caressing, kissing, or acts that come before sex or during sex. This ability to drain energy and magic will be severely reduced in her mortal disguise, to basically nil such that no one would suspect a thing. But it's enough for her to feel a little fresher and energized and her unwitting partner to feel a little tired but satisfied.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, normal contact doesn't work, but that's sort of implied.

Yep, I won't go overboard. However, if I overdid something, do let me know. For your convenience, here's the updated CS:

@DarkravenVery well made character. You might need to de-power her a tiny portion, but not by much and I'll let you know if I think changes should be made for the future. Atm though I just have questions. I assume the Knights she was with were a holy order, and if so, would they not have magical items to detect her?
Then again, I take belief as a large part of my lore, so perhaps since she had amnesia, at that time she WASN'T considered demonic, even despite her nature within. Plus, many of the Knights might be enamored with her and would not heed such warnings anyhow. But still, the question remains.

Also, is her daughter full human?

Make her race, Human (Andredian), if that is where she considers herself from.

Sure, no problem. Lemme know how to de-power her at your convenience. It might be a while though, because I foresee that it'd be some time before she's forced to reveal her true self whether by magical spell or 'death'. Much of her abilities are muted in the meantime.

It's also not mentioned in the RP, but changes in her will be gradual even after she's reverted to her demonic form. Memories will take time to resurface, her abilities will have to grow stronger again over time. Hell, she might even have trouble walking on hooves after reversion :D That's not to mention the identity crisis and trauma that would be sure to come.

Atm though I just have questions. I assume the Knights she was with were a holy order, and if so, would they not have magical items to detect her?


Other than the below, Ushael is one of the best Succubus out there (though by no means the best, I bet *gasps*), one of the few if not the only one who could take on a deep disguise and materialise true flesh and blood to cover hers. Much of her demonic essence was hidden away her new skin and flesh hid her true physical form.

History did the rest - she was found by members of the order to be killing a demon, and since she's genuinely living the life of one of their own, could never arouse any kind of suspicion beyond the kind that didn't matter. She's been killing demons ever since, and yeah, it definitely helps that she's pretty much a saint and drop-dead gorgeous.

Then again, I take belief as a large part of my lore, so perhaps since she had amnesia, at that time she WASN'T considered demonic, even despite her nature within. Plus, many of the Knights might be enamored with her and would not heed such warnings anyhow. But still, the question remains.


Yeah, pretty much these too.

Also, is her daughter full human?


I've been asking myself that question for the entire week. Surprisingly, it's one of the harder things to decide. But since I've based this character on pop-cultural depictions as well as folklore, I'm going to stick with it. Her daughter's a demon, but since she's born from Jezebeth's disguise, she'd assume the shape of a human being until her death. In the meantime, she's going to start wondering why she's barely aging even when she's in her late golden years. Unless Mama-Succuby tells her that her entire life has been a lie.

Oh well, it's not like this is the first time Ushael's a mother :D She'll know what to do best. Hyuck hyuck.

Make her race, Human (Andredian), if that is where she considers herself from.


Andredian, definitely.

Do let me know what else you want changed or added, and when I can throw Jezebeth into the Character tab.

In the meantime, I'm wondering if you're fine with this major change before I implement it:
- Make her entire suit of armour painful to the touch for demons (but otherwise causing very little actual harm)? They can still rip it off her if they ignore the pain though - Wrath Demons are especially good at that.

Also, how do you envision my character starting out?

I'm thinking that maybe you guys could stumble on the remains of her Guardian Order camp? She'd probably be busy burying the last few corpses of her comrades she has left to take care of. Unless you guys want things tough on your characters, the camp could still have an armoury and food store, but no one left to use them.
