I think I'm addicted to demons.
"I understand I should be feared, but... Why?"
Name:
Zaelyn
Age:
As old as the world, appears to be eighteen years old.
Race:
Ancestral Demon
Unlike an average demon, ancestral demons have existed even before Lucifer was cast out of Heaven and attained the power of the King of the Underworld. They were amongst the most powerful creatures of Hell- their power not only matched, but surpassed an Archangel's power. They were made of pure fury and hate and were capable of causing destruction to everything and everyone. However, because of their unmatched power, they were also hard to control, and often ended up killing themselves by entering an incontrolable state of rage and throwing themselves at combat against many other enemies- such as archangels themselves. They could take two, perhaps three archangels with them before being slaughtered- which was the reason those powerful demons vanished with the time.
Unlike most demonic creatures, they need not to serve Lucifer- though they always did since Lucifer was a figure of power and convinced them in following him. Zaelyn, while an ancestral demon, has lost partially her powers. This will be explained in her story section.
Personality:
Without the memories of what she once was, Zaelyn has absolutely no idea of why everyone seems terribly afraid of her appearance- and why she's often called a demon or things like that. She has come to understand that she's not like everyone- but she still gets bothered by how she's often seen as a monster. Zaelyn seems slightly immature, as if she was still a child- which in fact, is not something wrong to say. The world has changed a lot, and she is but a child trying to learn how to properly behave in it. She dislikes talking about her right eye- or her horns, as she doesn't knows how to explain them. She has often thought that she is indeed a demon- but if she was one, she wouldn't be nice, she wouldn't be capable of being nice. That's how she sees it, at least.
With little to no social interaction yet, she's... fairly strange. For one, she has the habit of crouching down whenever she's feeling lazy- which is odd, since she'd do so with everyone else standing or not. She's also become increasingly fond of chewing on lollipop sticks- to the point where she's dependent on it. An addiction of sorts. Her strange behavior extends to the way she generally speaks and acts- lazily, as if the act of talking itself was forceful. But that's merely because she doesn't understands that you need to show interest in a conversation, so it always looks as if she's completely disinterested- something sad, because it makes befriending others even harder, and she craves friendship more than everything, currently.
Abilities/Powers:
The eye of Infinite Knowledge: Zaelyn's right eye, which is noticeably different because of it's strange appearance, as if there was constant fire burning inside gives the ability to memorize every type of ability it seems. Constantly recognizing the source, the type, element- everything as soon as a magical spell comes into eyesight, she's quickly able to think how to avoid and counter said spell. This eye also sees through the soul of whoever she looks into the eyes- Zaelyn, by simply looking at one's eyes, from afar or not, could see clearly their nature; being able to recognize their race with this. This is naturally her only usable ability which doesn't requires her to tap into demonic power or to be under certain conditions- but the only use it has, is the knowledge it gives to her.
The eye of Unworldy Wrath: This is not an ability, but something worth mentioning. Not only is her eye the source of exceptional demonic power, but within it, is stored a powerful holy power. This holy power is unusuable and does nothing rather than warm her and limit her abilities even more- it'd take a master in sealing and unsealing magic to remove it in order to unlock her eye's (And her own) full potential.
Demonic Ancestry: As an ancestral demon, Zaelyn has an abominable source of power which means that- if she was ever to engage in combat with knowledge of this, she'd be exceptionally dangerous because of how much time it'd take for her to fatigue or to deplete her power resources. Not only that, her demonic ancestry gives her enhanced regeneration when not in combat, wounds with certain severity healing completely in hours. She also recovers her powers at a fairly quickly rate- ten hours is more than enough to regenerate her whole energy resources. She's somewhat resistant to physical damage, such as cut and bruises- but that's not to say she's immune to it, after all she's still a human.. at least her body is.
Hidden Power: Zaelyn's powers are hidden and sealed from herself. She only has access to them when under severe mental stress, such as fear, agony, terror, panic, despair and etcetera- however, whenever that occurs, she loses herself and the only priority becomes defending herself from whatever is causing these emotions. The powers unlocked by the emotions are only a very, very small part of her true powers, but they're dangerous enough.
- Obsidian Barrier - This is a simple ability often used when she's under direct attack. An invisible force-barrier surrounds her body for at five seconds at most, protecting her from any projectile or physical attack. It's practically unbreakable, but certain spells can easily go through it. The barrier is fairly short, only standing two meters from her, circling around her body. If she moves- it follows her, until it breaks or fades away.

Weaknesses:
Well- needless to say, holy magic of any sort is fairly volatile to her. For one- damage caused by spells of that particular nature won't heal as easily as an average wound, it will take more than a few days to fully recover from a holyburn- and depending on how much damages one causes to her with such, it could even be permanent. By the way, while her powers are sealed, she's basically.. an average human, with inability to use powers whatsoever. She can't cast any spell or ability on her own, only being able to do such when certain negative emotions are triggered- and she has no control of them, even so.
Backstory:As stated before, she has existed for far too much time, together with many other variants of Ancestral Demons. In this time, her life was simple: Follow Lucifer, do what he commanded and die for his cause- she slaughtered many angels- many than one could count in fact and was awarded with a special gift given by Lucifer himself: The eye of Infinite Knowledge. This powerful additional tool was extremely helpful, as the demon went from a simple brute fighter to a feared tactical master- even to the point of easily destroying
archangels in combat. However, it's fate would be sealed by no one other than an Archangel in one of the fiercest battle Heaven and Hell had seen. The outcome was an unexpected one, however.
At his last strike, the archangel tried to slash the demon's right eye in order to destroy it's power- but, the Holy Blade the Archangel carried was destroyed by the eye- all of it's power being stored into the cut it had left; this however, weakened the Ancestral Demon so much that she was simply banished into nothingness. Not willing to die so easily, it used all of what little power it had to
take possession of a human body - but her weakened state didn't allow such thing to happen. The weakened state of the Ancestral Demon caused a strange reaction, the human he had desperately chosen was exceptionally strong willed and while it couldn't take possession of her, both of their souls merged together into a chaotic being. Being put to slumber for thousands of years, she'd only wake up recently- after the demonic power restored itself.
Both the demon and the girl had lost their memories, but the instict of survival was present in both of them. The girl had been claimed dead.... thousands of years ago. Slowly, she started to crawl out of the earth, breaking the concrete with her bare-hands, the first emotion it even experienced was the utter agony of being buried 'alive' - and the need to survive. That was enough to activate partially her demonic spells in order to get herself out of that place. Standing naked, as the clothes had decayed (the same didn't happen to the body because the demon preserved it) she started to walk slowly- unfortunately, there was no way of hiding her horns or the... demonic eye. The first one to see her was a woman- who ran off screaming something about God. She had absolutely no idea of why that happened, exactly- but soon, a man wearing a cowboy had and holding a strange thing while pointing it at her appeared. "Th' feck!" was all she heard before the man pressed the trigger, the sound sending her in state of terror.. and everything became dark as she went unconcious.
..
When she woke up, the sight was... gruesome. Everyone- without exceptions- was laying dead, or at least unconcious. The man from before, the woman from before- other unknown figures, children. This was her she started to understand what she was- when she began to fear what she was, when she began to... wish to destroy everyone else. No- that was not her, but whatever was within her. She could hear it, she could feel it- but she was in partial control of it. Why? She didn't know- all she knew is that she needed to get out of here. And she did, picking up some random clothes from a random house for her own decency, she walked- for so long that she couldn't even count. She kept hiding from everyone, covering her head as much as she could, avoiding showing her eye at all costs. This life was not something she wanted, but if someone else saw her and something happened, the outcome would be the same as the one in that small city she was.
And then, it came to her- magically, or perhaps not so much. A letter literally felt from the sky and landed onto her hands, it read:
We have been watching you. We know who you are.From where she originally was to Athalia Academy, was a long journey- she managed to actually meet someone who wasn't afraid of her. A young girl who she had a brief talk with and was gifted a sack filled with lollipops- that was the first thing she experimented on Earth and it was absolute heaven- and it was the only thing she had to eat all the way to Athalia's city. She also managed to
steal some clothes from a clothes store, obviously after everyone ran away when she accidentally dropped the hood covering her head when looking at some lovely fashionable clothes. And then, she finally managed to get close to her destination...
