[b][color=ffbf69]• Name:[/color][/b] Limen, although he uses aliases liberally when among humans.

[b][color=ffbf69]• Title:[/color][/b] ‘Thought Experiment’, some call him; at times disparagingly.

[b][color=ffbf69]• Age:[/color][/b] 150 years or so, maybe a bit less.

[b][color=ffbf69]• Species:[/color][/b] Daemon, but a non-supernatural one, or so he insists. Prefers this antiquated spelling over the usual ‘demon’.

[b][color=ffbf69]• Abilities:[/color][/b] The creation of barriers of any shape which only allow particles fulfilling certain criteria — which Limen determines as he makes each barrier — to pass through. These criteria can differ depending on the direction of travel, so a particle may pass through one way and subsequently be unable to return to the other side. At his current power, he can only maintain around a hundred square metres of barriers at once.

[b][color=ffbf69]• Personality:[/color][/b] Limen’s purpose and overarching motivation is the decrease of entropy. Unlike a certain cat-like alien mascot, however, the heat death of the universe is of no consequence — he himself does not know why this cause compels him so. It is the way it is. His methods can be indirect, however — irrelevant-looking acts like ‘gaining knowledge’ and ‘encouraging the reproduction of living organisms’ also count as steps toward his goal.

He is aware of and understands human concepts of ethics and morality, at least intellectually, but does not see himself or his ‘research’ as bound to such principles. Eating humans unnecessarily isn’t his style, though cannibalising the occasional demon to strengthen himself is totally reasonable if he predicts that it would decrease entropy more than a potential alliance. Making swathes of land uninhabitable is fair game as well, and if something or someone happens to walk into the wrong barrier, the wrong way — well, they’re on their own. Humanity as a collective whole, however, fascinates him.

[b][color=ffbf69]• Background:[/color][/b] Born from the restless musings of learned men, what would one day become Limen was initially a formless being, more concept than entity. A hypothetical, a what-if that was never meant to be realised. As the wisest among the mortals continued to ponder and discuss his nature, the daemon became more and more concrete, a single distinct identity emerging from the philosophers’ jumbled theories and thoughts.

Over time, exposure to human society would eventually lead Limen to take on a physical body. In this fragile form he would traverse the globe, walking across oceans and continents when no better transportation could be found. When circumnavigating the Earth and spelunking in its nether regions no longer offered much to gain in information, he began experimentation of his own. The methods which had given birth to him were the organs and instruments through which he would learn. This research could grow destructive, and would every now and then draw the Devil Hunters’ attention. That was fine. Even they had difficulties pursuing him up past the ozone layer or down to the abyssal plains. And so the work continued for many decades.

Having recently returned from a sojourn on the Moon, curiosity led Limen to take a gander at the supposed boom in Japan’s devil population and catch up on the latest advancements in demonology first-hand.

[b][color=ffbf69]• Other:[/color][/b] Limen’s physical body is ultimately just a puppet, although he’s become rather fond of having one at all times, even if it’s often a handicap. This particular body is a fully organic imitation of a human being, painstakingly crafted by barrier over several years, so he is particularly attached to it. He is gradually getting used to the ubiquitous fruits of the digital revolution, which exploded in pace during his extraterrestrial sabbatical.
