Name: Eligor, The End
game Demon
Age: Yes.
Race: Demon. While he was once a mortal, Eligor attained demonhood through his sheer might, rather than spending time in the Underworld.
Appearance: Choosing to maintain his mortal form despite his apotheosis, Eligor protects himself with his magic instead of one of the many treasures he possesses. Rather than weapons or armor, he covers himself in a demonic exoskeleton that resembles a mockery of the heroic arms he once wielded in life. Seeping with blackened Akhrana, Eligor's very presence can be felt from miles away.
Background: Eligor is known as the End Demon not for his pronounced posterior, but because he represents the pinnacle of what all heroes become of they continued on their self-destructive path. Indeed, Eligor was once known as the ancient hero Elijah, a warrior from a bygone time where one have over a hundred kills under their belts if they wish to be truly acknowledged as a hero. Tasked with killing the Demon Lord of the Endtimes, Elijah was given the blessing of "Assimilation" from a strange and divine entity, gifting him with abilities such as
having unlimited inventory space storing the vast treasures he'd obtain from his foes without being encumbered to
gaining xp and leveling up growing in strength with every monster he'd slay. While the intent of such powers were to allow the hero to face off the Demon Lord's ever-increasing threats and continue to scale in power, Elijah had other things in mind for his journey.
And so, Elijah sought out the weakest of the Demon Lord's dark minions, slaying them with impunity. If he could draw no power from them,- or if they were completely wiped from existence- he would merely slay the next in line, plundering their strength and treasures for himself. The reason why kobolds today all conglomerate underground and goblins keep to themselves in their hovels is due to Elijah's indiscriminate extermination of their kind. Even the greater monsters were no match for the hero once he set his eyes on them, reducing such beasts to near-extinction. By the time Elijah finally decided to slay the Demon Lord, he was himself considered a demon due to the sheer power he possessed.
After making quick work of the demon lord, Elijah soon realized that there was naught to slay that would make him stronger aside from his fellow heroes. Because of this, he took his fated foe's domain for himself, becoming the next Demon of the End by assimilating his predecessor's essence before it could return to Sheol. He then turned against his party, slaying them and taking their blessed treasures for himself. For many years hence, Elijah took on the mantle of Eligor, using the mass treasures he had plundered in his journey to create a grand keep high in the mountains, filling it with all matter of dastardly monsters. Promises of wealth and glory would be used to draw heroes from throughout the land to his domain. Of course, this was merely a Darwinian trap placed in order to find the strongest of heroes, ones that would serve as a match for Eligor in order to grow further in strength.
The heroes of his land, however, were limited in their strength, for the gods have at this point learned their lesson in bestowing such exploitable blessings to mere mortals. None could truly match Eligor's strength, and soon, the Demon-Hero would find himself bored with the mortal realm. He would soon enter the Underworld, laying claim to the former End Demon's domain. For centuries, he would wallow in his new demonic realm surrounded by his treasures. Every now and then, he would face off against the occasional hero or vengeful demon who would find a way to his realm, making short work of them. Eligor would enter stagnation, seeing only the other greater demon lords as worthy enemies, not wanting to bother dealing with their
hax unique abilities. Soon, he would be forgotten by time itself, all records of him in the mortal away fading away into obscurity.
What stirred Eligor from his isolation was rumors of these new heroes, ones from other dimensions entirely. Ever curious, Eligor would watch their progress from the confines of his realm, his interest ever increasing. It was then that the End Demon would break his centuries-long isolation, appearing to Lord Ahriman to offer his services to the new Demon Lord. If these otherworlders truly possessed powers unknown to this realm, then perhaps Eligor can truky ascend to greater heights.
Plus he is a bit annoyed to hear that heroes these days are foreigners stealing opportunities from the hardworking mortals of this realm.
Skills and Abilities: As the End Demon, Eligor possesses the physical and magical power expected of a Demon Lord. His magical abilities revolve around standard conjuration and enhancement, fueled by his massive pool of infernal Akhrana. Eligor's true strength lies not in his demonic nature, but by a blessing given to him by a long-forgotten deity of ages past:
Assimilation, the authority to take anything.
Assimilation is split into three primary abilities, but only two of them are really utilized. The first is
Conqueror, a simple ability that permanently absorbs the strength of those slain by Eligor, with stronger foes giving a more pronounced boost to power. At this point, most mortal beings that Eligor could slay would only grant a negligible boost to his strength.
Marauder is the second ability, granting Eligor a seemingly endless pocket dimension meant for him to store the vast scores of treasures he has looted from his enemies. It is filled to the brim with treasures both mundane and magical, and such objects can even be forcibly ejected from this dimension with the force of a bullet. The last and least understood of Eligor's three abilities is
Hegemon, the "right to rule all lesser beings." It seems to have no effect, but perhaps it is because Eligor has no desire to rule above others.
Quips:- Eligor's talents include collecting and appraising treasures, the extermination of life, and cooking.
- Eligor's greatest weakness is the arrogance of one who has never truly struggled in life. He sees most mortals, and even a few demons, as mere insects, and refuses to take more effort than needed against such foes
- Despite his strength, Eligor is actually a poor combatant. Having only fought foes he has severely outmatched, Eligor's skills and techniques in combat are simple and unrefined.
- It is said that among the many weapons held within his vault, none are more deadly than Eligor's Hyper Weapon. The nature of this weapon is unknown, and Eligor is quick to dismiss such claims.
