I traded my soul for the love of a beautiful maiden. She loved me up to the day she died, but that was twenty years ago and I’ve been in his service ever since.” [/i] [b][u]Name[/u][/b] Asmodeus [b][u]Age[/u][/b] Physical: 34 True: 713 [b][u]Race[/u][/b] Demon [b][u]Role & Kingdom[/u][/b] King of the Kingdom of Lucifer [b][u]Ability & Weapon[/u][/b] [b][i]Soul Consumption [/i][/b] Asmodeus has the ability to harness the raw power of souls themselves, using and consuming them to fuel his magical ability when he takes a life. A human soul taken forcefully is good, but nothing is quite as delicious as a soul given in a bargain or other such arrangement – the purer the better as far as he is concerned. The soul of an angel or demon, whilst usually difficult to obtain is just as scrumptious if not more-so. [b][i]Soul Regeneration [/i][/b] Asmodeus has the ability to use the energies of consumed souls to regenerate or harm in equal measure, twisting the life-force to his own cruel purposes. He is able to cause necrotic damage to spread through the flesh of his victims, alternatively he can heal wounds or sickness, though generally this ability is reserved for those who serve him most loyally or as a bargaining chip in his dealings –seeing how he isn’t particularly the altruistic type. (Whilst powerful this ability isn’t what you might call ‘cost-effective’, as to heal a single individual it takes the life force of at least one whole soul if not more depending on the affliction). When passing on a curse to a human Asmodeus can either pass the ability to consume the souls of those killed (turning the human into a ‘soul-gatherer’ of sorts, seeing as they wouldn’t be able to use these souls other than to pass on to Asmodeus or his other cursed servants). Alternatively the ability to cause harm/healing, however without the ability to consume souls these would then needed to be gifted by one with the ability to do so before they could make use of this. This leads to interesting partnerships amongst his cursed followers, generally causing them to work in pairs. [b][u]Biography[/u][/b] Asmodeus has existed far longer than any of the three Kingdoms, the demonic lord having watched their founding and dealings with great interest along with several of his kin. He has ruled the Kingdom of Lucifer in the past, though sometimes leaving the fate of the Kingdom in the hands of those he considered lesser demons through either boredom or occasionally neglect, even allowing them to believe themselves victorious and him defeated if not for his own ends. Of course he believed this was not the case and he simply chose to allow them to believe such things whilst he was otherwise occupied or plotting. With the sealing of the Kingdom of Lucifer Asmodeus flew into a most terrible rage, himself suddenly unable to leave the Kingdom or exercise the freedom he desired in influencing those outside of his new limited realm, something he had not foreseen with his absence form the throne. As such he retreated into a deep slumber, unwilling and uncaring to watch over the Kingdom in its new limited capacity, choosing to sleep rather than continue to dwell within the limits now placed upon them. He blamed a great many other demons for this situation, smiting many of them and greatly punishing others before his ‘hibernation’. Those left behind vied for power and the title of King passed from head to head throughout the years, though the agents of Asmodeus did not share in their master’s long slumber and continued with those tasks he had given them as they guarded his slumbering form carefully. Chief amongst these followers was Lady Vermina to whom he entrusted much responsibility, her alone being one of the few he believes he can truly trust. Upon the nearing of the destruction of the great seal one such loyal servant has awoken him, the great Asmodeus returning to become King of Lucifer. Some whisper about what happened to the demon unfortunate enough to have been occupying the throne when he returned, but other than the hideous unending screeches that echoed from the dark towers above the palace few know little else. He has spent his time reawakening his powers and abilities, reforging his relationships and alliances with those demons and servants he deems worthy and of course plotting his most glorious revenge on the three Kingdoms and the humans who trapped he and his kin for so very long. https://youtu.be/thJ4RY_7cpU?list=PLEnydKMhRuONY4HYsTWOaxmlGi9Ir4VzR [/hider] [hider=Slarthanius “the Jester” of Lucifer] [URL=http://s74.photobucket.com/user/Bloodlut/media/daemon_king_by_hunqwert.jpg.html][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/Bloodlut/daemon_king_by_hunqwert.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s74.photobucket.com/user/Bloodlut/media/AnimeGuy5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/Bloodlut/AnimeGuy5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] “Ahahahahahahahaha… look how he is making that peasant dance with his own entrails!” [b][u]Name[/u][/b] Slarthanius “the Jester” of Lucifer [b][u]Age[/u][/b] Physical: 25 Real: 411 [b][u]Race[/u][/b] Demon [b][u]Role & Kingdom[/u][/b] Servant of the Kingdom of Lucifer [b][u]Ability & Weapon[/u][/b] [i][b]Obsidian alloy Blade[/b][/i] – The Jester possesses a most cruel and curved blade which he is more than proficient in using. It is unique in that the metallic alloy it is constructed from has an extremely high melting point, allowing it to easily be heated without casing the blade damage. In the past he has frequently used this as an implement of torture and death. [i][b]Uncontrollable infectious Laughter [/b][/i]– Slarthanius is capable of upon meeting the gaze of a human of making them fall under the effects of a continuous and unending laughing fit. Mostly this is relatively harmless, unless of course continued to an extreme fashion, literally causing his victim to die of laughter, which is not nearly as pleasant as it might seem. Alternatively this effect can be used to target a group, ‘infectious’ laughter spreading amongst them, though not fatal it can be extremely distracting and debilitating depending on the situation at hand. When passing on a curse Slarthanius causes the cursed individual to gain the ability to also cause uncontrollable laughter, though this would not be ‘infectious’ as when Slarthanius does so – it is still extremely debilitating to one individual. [i][b]Fiddle[/b][/i] – Slartanius can play a mean fiddle, but then wouldn’t you be able to if you’d been practising for more than 300 years too? [b][u]Biography[/u][/b] Slarthanius has been known by many names, though recently has taken on the mantle of The Jester, thriving in chaos, pain and destruction – and finding it all quite hilarious too. Since the founding of the Kingdoms he has found a passion in toying with and tormenting the many humans that populate Eden. However with the sealing of the Kingdom of Lucifer he despaired at the thought of being trapped solely with the generally humourless demons that reside within, making moves to flee and slip through to the human world, of course though he concealed this intention from his master (Asmodeus) who he felt would force him to reveal his method of escape before using it himself and therefore preventing Slarthanius from returning to Eden himself. Slipping through he spent much time indulging and simply wandering the lands recruiting cursed humans from the general population where possible, but mostly just disguising himself as a traveling bard who seems to simply have a twisted sense of humour. The later years of his freedom Slarthanius has actually chosen to focus more rigorously upon recruiting and cursing those humans he felt some bond or attraction with, fearing the possible wrath of his previous master should he ever awaken and seek restitution for his absence. He has recruited a great many to what he has called ‘The Order of the Sanguine Exult’ under the title of Exulters, or simply traveling minstrels to those who may ask. This is a secret organisation that works silently in unison, placing its members (mostly cursed Humans) throughout the three Kingdoms wherever possible (though they are based in the Kingdom of Raphael, realistically thus far they have done no real harm and theirs numbers are not significant) in order to one day be called upon should the demonic kingdom ever return and seek vengeance upon their master. Slarthanius has spent a great deal of time establishing himself as a wandering bard (of course disguised as a dashing human male) and has spent much time amongst the humans of this world. Truth be told his sense of humour is starting to fade when it comes to causing misery and suffering, though this may simply be down to his long absence from any of his kin and the traits and mannerisms of those humans he is even slowly becoming fond of, no matter how much he denies this (even to himself). He feels that the Exulters are his little messed up children, and through maintaining and interacting with them he feels something strange and alien to him, human feelings that he continues to push down deeper and deeper despite the fact that he continues to interact with them. Truth be told he is a little conflicted right now, but as long as he remains on his own amongst the humans he is happy to ignore these feelings and continue down his own path of self-discovery. https://youtu.be/Vq-WWjOYNZ8 [/hider] [hider=Lady Vilsiloth Vermina] [URL=http://s74.photobucket.com/user/Bloodlut/media/tumblr_nh9iyfxpvp1r426wco1_500.jpg.html][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/Bloodlut/tumblr_nh9iyfxpvp1r426wco1_500.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s74.photobucket.com/user/Bloodlut/media/AnimeGal1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/Bloodlut/AnimeGal1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [i]“Lady Vermina? I’d step with care around that one if I were you. She'd cut you down in a second.”[/i] [b][u]Name[/u][/b] Lady Vilsiloth Vermina [b][u]Age[/u][/b] Physical: 21 Real: 299 [b][u]Race[/u][/b] Demon [b][u]Role & Kingdom[/u][/b] Servant of the Kingdom of Lucifer [b][u]Ability & Weapon[/u][/b] Lady Vermina has trained vigorously and relentlessly amongst the assassins and spies of Lucifer, gaining much experience in swordplay and other martial proficiencies which she longs to test against the humans of Eden. She wields a variety of weaponry, though specialises with shorter single blades and small thrown daggers, her fighting style being that of rapid flurries and whirling displays of acrobatics combined with sudden savage lunges and stabs. When in her natural form she has both clawed fingers and savagely sharp fangs, neither of which she is afraid to use when the situation arises, though she relies on a single savage shortsword that is often strapped to her waist. [b][i]Skinchanger[/i][/b] – Lady Vermina has the ability to change her appearance at will, taking on the form of any human she desires. She is virtually undetectable (physically speaking) though if an angel were to gaze deeply into her eyes there would be a hint of the true evil that lay beneath her disguise, something that may unsettle any human who also observes this though they likely would not know quite why. This change is purely physical and she obtains no knowledge or ability from those she is mimicking. She is unable to ‘create’ an appearance, and this has to be copied from a human (though Lady Vermina recalls any appearance she has taken on and can switch at will). The change process is quick and somewhat unpleasant to observe, her skin melding and changing as if she were wrapped in liquid serpents for about five seconds before taking on the new appearance. Upon passing on a curse she can ‘gift’ a single appearance to a human. This would mean that Lady Vermina herself can no longer take on this particular form (until the curse is revoked or the human dies). The cursed human can only change from their natural appearance to this ‘gifted’ appearance and no others. [i][b]Biography[/b][/i] Lady Vermina has served several of Lucifer’s rulers, though none as loyally or zealously so as Asmodeus, who she dearly loves in her own twisted way having long guarded his slumbering form. She believes that once the Kingdom has returned to the surface world that each of the human royal families responsible for their banishment needs to pay greatly for their past offenses with their misery and suffering (and eventually their lives), even though she herself has never set foot outside of the Kingdom. She seeks one day to replace one of the Royal families (though currently she cares not which) and take rulership for herself, disguised or not she cares little – she simply yearns for power over as many souls as possible and all the worshipers she knows she and her master deserve. Lady Vermina has dwelt within the Kingdom of Lucifer for her entire life, unable to escape due to the seal, not able to find an alternative method of slipping into the human world like some others. She has entertained herself as much as possible through the limited number of humans in the Kingdom, though this entertainment has grown stale many years ago and she now seeks more than anything to journey to the human world and test her mettle against whatever best they have to offer. She is filled with fire and venom, her relative lack of experience so far more than made up for with her zeal and enthusiasm to succeed. https://youtu.be/iWIADZKU9dw [/hider] [@Wisp] [@dracogenius]
