A picture, description, or both are good. No real life pictures, please. [color=gold][b]Backstory:[/b][/color] Xirsi, to put it simply, is the bastard child of a succubus and a demon of gluttony, a mixture that produced a rather strange [i]thing.[/i] In what a demon could call a childhood, it became apparent at what this mixture had done. While gluttony was usually some greed or lust for food, this was heightened by her heritage tenfold. She did not just lust for food, she, as she would say, hyper luster for anything that could be found as food. However, nothing would satiate this growing appetite. It became a problem as her parents, and herself of course, were concerned that she would simply starve to death. This hunger, however, was discovered to be only calmed by devouring souls. It was a slight calm but it was something that would stop her from going mad from starvation. Her demonic parents then came up with the idea of pumping her full of souls, specifically human souls. While this did help with her hunger problems, it made her grow more powerful as a demon, powerful enough to where she eventually devoured her own parents and began to leave behind a mess in Hell. Though, she was eventually cast out of Hell and into the mortal plane where she began to devour more and more. It was cold and brittle where she was, the humans called it ‘Scandinavia’ and they were very large a burly people. A serpent like her stood out, and she was still hungry, enough so that she began to devour them. Xirphi became a large threat, becoming known by the humans as the spawn Jörmungandr, a great Devourer. Eventually, Angels were forced to get involved and began to wage a short and decisive war against this start up demon. Once they defeated her, they branded her on the back so that they may more easily defeat her should she go on this level of a killing spree again as well as cleanse all the souls that she has consumed, even the corrupted demonic ones. Then, in her reality, the demons began to rise up all across the plane of man which allowed her to escape from the angels until she found the entrance to Nexus in an angelic castle. The Nexus chose her to enter, which she aptly chose over the death that awaited her should the angels and demons of her world catch her. Being an embodiment of hunger, Xirphi is driven purely by that hunger and is something she despises as she views it more as a curse by the creator. However, the Nexus is a place where she adores to go, not for fighting in the name of hell, but it allows her an assortment of morsels. [color=gold][b]Powers:[/b][/color] [list] [*][b]Soul Consumption:[/b] By consuming souls, Xirphi can grow more powerful, making her stronger, faster. Yet the amount of power these souls provide is different from soul to soul as an angel’s soul will give Xirphi far more power than say the soul of an imp or a common man. This ‘power-up’ is a physical one, they make her stronger and faster. Furthermore it comes with the added ability of increasing the strength of her other powers found on this list. Yet the ‘tastiness’ of the souls are amplified by how pure they are, for example a child’s soul while not powerful, unless some strange thing happens, will taste astoundingly better than a battle hardened angel or demon. [*][b]Heat Wave:[/b] Having an extremely high metabolism, Xirphi gives off a lot of heat naturally, not enough to catch things on fire naturally, but enough to be uncomfortable if you sat right next to her. However, she can choose burn any souls she has consumed to produce a scorching heat wave that can set flammable items on fire, and likely make some sweat their ass off. [*][b]Energy Concentration:[/b] Xirphi can concentrate the power of the souls she has consumers and release it from her mouth as a beam of energy that can typical tear through objects with ease. However, the attack does drain her of the souls as well as her own personal energy, typically leaving her unconscious, making it impractical for her to use it as anything more than a last stand. [*][b]Starving Animal:[/b] Should she go without consuming souls, Xirphi can go mad until she has feasted on nearby souls. She becomes immune to pain, and with attack with no relent, even if the target is friend or foe. [*][b]Multi-tongued:[/b] Not really a power so much as just a part of her. Her lower jaw separates into two separate segments which allows three tendril-like tongues to come out. These tongues are prehensile, meaning they can move as limbs would on her body. These tongues will grow back if severed and act as the only part of her body that can grip a soul. [*][b]Acid Reflex:[/b] Her stomach produces some of the most potent acid that can be found in enxistence, the worst part is, she can weaponize it. Xirphi can throw up a ball of acid which will likely melt through anything it touches, think the blood of the xenomorphs from the Aliens franchise. [*][b]Aura of Hunger:[/b] Sometimes hunger is a maddening concept, so much so that it begins to affect the sanity of others. If she is starving, the aura’s effects are heightened where as if she is in control of her hunger then she can generally control the aura as well. The full affect of the aura is that it causes those around her to feel her level hunger. It’s not a surprise most creatures can’t properly deal with, once she saw a guy try to eat his own sword. [/list] [indent][color=palegoldenrod][b]Resistances & Immunities:[/b][/color] [list] [*]Resistant to Heat, given she lives with it due to her demonically high metabolism. [*]Immune to Cold as Xirphi’s metabolism, and her heat wave ability, can generally keep her warm no matter what. [*]Resistant to mortal weapons[/list] [color=palegoldenrod][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color][list] [*]Holy Magic - Being a demon, holy magic is highly effective against her. [*]The Brand - the brand in her back need simply be touched by an angel, or angelic being, to form magical chains around her as well as cleaner her body of any consumed souls. [*]Temptation of Food - another major weakness of hers is that she can be bribed to do anything with food, doesn’t even need to be souls, just something she can eat.[/list] [/indent][color=gold][b]Skills:[/b][/color] [list] [*]Deception [*]Very slight seduction, normally offset by her serpent like appearance on less someone is into that [*]Downing Drinks [*]Hand-axe Training, time with nords [/list] [color=gold][b]Weapons & Equipment:[/b][/color] Nothing but the clothes off her back [color=gold][b]Sample Post:[/b][/color] [hider=Sample] She gaze upon the field of the dead, the field of those she had slaughtered because they denied her the only thing that kept her going. It was a field of dead demons, her hands painted with a mixture of red and black blood. Xirphi did not enjoy killing them all, but their souls were just too good to pass up. Not that they were exactly tasty, demons tasted awful, but their souls were something that hit the spot within her stomach. As her three tongues pulled down on last soul, it’s dark and corrupted light being snuffed out as it needed her body, she couldn’t help but left out a light chuckle. All of this destruction led to her becoming, it lead to her on a path of becoming whole, a path that would rid of the the curse that was her eternal hunger. Xirphi’s lower jaw reformed and she turned away from the field and began to walk forward, she didn’t know where to, but hopefully to a place with food. “Monster,” a voice cried out from behind her. She turned and gazed down to see a crippled demon, his body had been torn asunder by her claws and brute strength. He continued to spew out words but all Xirphi could think of was how hungry she was. The demoness took a step towards the crippled one, her lower jaw splitting apart, another step signaled the coming of her tendril-like tongues. Yet, she was stopped by one of his words, “Devourer!” Xirphi cocked her head before speaking back, “I am what I am. I am hungry, and I will consume anything to rid myself of this curse. You should know this.” Her tendrils stabbed down into the demon’s form, wrapping themselves around his souls before ripping it out. They brought into the body of their host, and she turned away once more. The devourer continued on her way, allowing her thoughts to begin collecting, yet one word would continue to plague all her thoughts, corrupting them.
