There are kingdoms that exist beyond Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Lucifer. These kingdoms do not communicate with these four as much as the four communicate with each other. The other kingdoms are known as Jophiel, Samael, Sandalphon, and Uriel. While they share the same continent as the other four kingdoms, they are far from each other. These two groups of kingdoms do not depend on each other for trade. As Gabriel, Lucifer, Michael, and Raphael are close, or were once, Josphiel, Samael, Sandalphon, and Uriel are the same. Due to the small amount of communication made between these groups across mountains, streams, and forests, very little is known about the four on the other side.

The Kingdom of Joshpiel is known for their scholars and vast knowledge. The Kingdom of Samael is currently recognized with its constant conflict between the dead, undead, and living. The Kingdom of Sandalphon is known for their large armies and close-knit communities. The Kingdom of Uriel is known for their seers and arts. There is nothing else known about these kingdoms, who their rulers are, or what their tactics are like. Since they will not be present for the roleplay, as they are not planned to interfere with the current situation, they will not be making an appearance.

"There's something wrong about that kid, where does he get off making such a mess of things? Must be from that mother of his."

Name: Viktor Elliot Regnier
Nickname: Vicky (he hates it when people call him that.)
Age: 17
Race: An Average Human
Role & Kingdom: Prince of Raphael
Abilities & Weapon: Lacks divine abilities. Herbalist and fist-fighter

Biography: Born six years after his elder half sister, Vik is the youngest son. After Queen Carina died, years later King Vincent made love to a lady of the court by the name of Melody, who gave birth to Vik. After his birth, uproars were made from the people, until finally, the King had to leave his court. Only a year or two after that, his mother was killed by one of the people of his own country, saying she had sullied the royal bloodline. As a young child without a mother, he tried to take solace in the father he had. King Vincent offered him anything a formal prince could have and doted on him just as much as his brother and sister.

But then he would hear things from dark corners, much of them reached his ears on purpose. None of the people outside of the castle walls knew that he was a bastard, but the ones that did know seem to hate him and prey on the young boy's weakness of his mother's death. As he grew older, he started to resent his father for not doing more to protect his mother. He shouted and ignored his brother and sister that tried to make up with him, they had all the things he had, but none of the whispers the feeling of hate making his skin crawl.

In basic terms, this drove the poor boy to make a shell around himself. He would act rashly and tough, so that no one could see the hurt that had plagued him and made him want to crumble. King Vincent became more occupied with his heir and daughter that were becoming so honest and worthy as the prince and princess. Vik was also terrible at using the sword and didn't seem to ever pick up well on conversation and manners. As he grew older, he would escape the castle and get into streetfights, learning more and more about how to fist fight. Whenever the King did get the defiant teenager to go see him, he would be uncouth and horrible, acting highly unsuitable for his title of prince.

The king couldn't seem to find any kind of weaponry attribute that he had. It was only the fact that whenever the tutors did convince him to do work that he was able to get 100% that the king could take notice of his intelligent mind. Hoping to cultivate this intelligence, he would have to study day by day to study long hours. Vik may have had one of the most intelligent brains, but he refused to do any of the work that came with learning. He would avoid his tutors as often as possible, he even became well known in the kitchens for stealing food without permission. All Viktor would bother to do for his tutors was read, he loathed writing papers after all.

When the King died, Viktor felt shameful of how badly he acted all those years. He cut back on his shenanigans, but still refused to learn things such as politics and the proper manners of a prince. Vik would wonder the castle all day, skipping out on tutoring and finding good places to read. Only when he reached the age of 16 did he get to venture out of the castle. All the boy wanted to do was get away from the castle that called him the black sheep of the family behind closed doors, so he left to study in the Kingdom of Josphiel, a kingdom he had been fascinated with for quite some time.

Viktor stayed there for a year, and gained an interest in herbology. Without being in a place where he had to keep up his guard all the time, he was able to become a decent apprentice for a while to become a herbalist and a healer. His problems were that he was never good at being bossed around and being taught, the years of avoiding his tutors proved that. Finally his Mentor all but kicked him out and he set to return to the kingdom of Raphael with his standard pack of ground herbs.

Note: He hasn't been in the castle for over a year, so his natural instinct of putting up a front may become harsher than ever.

Name
Asmodeus

Age
???

Race
Demon

Role & Kingdom
King of the Kingdom of Lucifer

Ability & Weapon

Soul Consumption
Asmodeus has the ability to harness the raw power of souls themselves, using and consuming them to fuel a great many ungodly powers and abilities. 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.
These souls can be used to fuel what is sometimes referred to as Blood Magic or simply Black Magic, Asmodeus more than proficient in many different schools of such darkness and his usual abilities include:

Sorcery – A powerful sorcerer, Asmodeus can perform all manner of spells and magics. Nothing as strong or proficient as a Demon/Angel’s natural abilities, however when fuelled by the souls he has taken this can rival most abilities (though such high levels of power would require an almost constant steam of souls).

Domination – mind control, generally only works on those of weak will or mind. Though if an individual is foolish enough to make a deal with Asmodeus then this can complicate things.

Blood Pact – A deal with Asmodeus simply put, cannot be broken. To do so would immediately forfeit the soul of said pactbreaker, allowing the Demon to either claim it immediately (killing the individual in question) or to hold immense sway over them as one of his pawns.

Souless – Asmodeus himself has undergone a long forgotten dark ritual, removing his own ‘soul’ (if indeed he ever had one) and placing it within another vessel. This means that if his physical body were ever destroyed then it would not mean his death, though what state this would leave him in is unclear and he would definitely prefer to avoid this.

Dark gift – Asmodeus’s only ‘natural’ power (and thus the power that passes on with his curse) is the dark gift of regeneration, or rather the stealing of another’s lifeforce. He can transfer vitality and cause regeneration, though this must be taken from another and thus he cannot actually heal without causing as much harm as needs to be recovered to another individual. He can suck the lifeforce from others and add their lifespan’s to that of his own body, reducing them to nothing more than ash. When cursing a human he can either bestow the ability to drain life and add them to the cursed’s lifespan, or alternatively the power to transfer lifeforce from one individual to another, but not both. His ability to harness souls is a bastardised extension of this ability, gained through foul and dark magics.

Biography
Asmodeus has existed far longer than any of the three Kingdoms, or so he would claim, the demonic lord having lived a great many lifetimes over the countless centuries. He has ruled the Kingdom of Lucifer less directly in the past, sometimes entirely leaving the fate of the Kingdom in the hands of those he considers lesser demons through either boredom or simple neglect, even allowing them to believe themselves victorious and him defeated if not for his own ends. Of course 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. 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.

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 who trapped he and his kin for so so long.

“Ahahahahahahahaha… look how he is making that peasant dance with his own entrails!”

Name
Slarthanius “the Jester” of Lucifer

Age
411

Race
Demon

Role & Kingdom
Servant of the Kingdom of Lucifer

Ability & Weapon

Molten Blade – The Jester possesses a most cruel and curved blade, red hot to the touch at all times and often used to inflict inhuman amounts of pain and suffering on unfortunate victims.

Uncontrollable infectious Laughter – 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 seems. 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 is unique in that he affects the cursed individual with his own twisted sense of humour, generally creating a loyal servant at the same time who will then serve their masters purpose as humorously as possible.

Fiddle – 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?

Biography
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. 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 with the blessing of his true master, Asmodeus (who simply did not care how The Jester spent his spare time as long as he was still adding to his collection of pawns). Slipping through he spent much time indulging and simply wandering the lands recruiting cursed humans from the general population where possible, but mostly 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 his task, fearing the possible wrath of his master should he awaken and be disappointed with his efforts. 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 realistically thus far they have done no real harm) in order to one day be awakened to strike in unison with whatever plans Slarthanius’s master may have, whether they will prove effective or not is another question altogether.

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, though hopes that the reawakening of his master and the resurgence of the Kingdom of Lucifer will reignite his desires.

“Lady Vermina? I’d step with care around that one if I were you”

Name
Lady Vilsiloth Vermina

Age
97

Race
Demon

Role & Kingdom
Lady of the Kingdom of Lucifer

Ability & Weapon
Lady Vermina wants or rather needs no weapon, scheming and intrigue being her main weapons of choice. Failing this she has a thin intricately crafted silver dagger hidden within her bodice at most times. 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.

Skinchanger – Lady Vermina has the ability to change her appearance at will, taking on the form of any female 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’ an 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. This curse has an alternate effect on men, instead turning them into a faceless thrall, losing their appearance and becoming a pale hideous abomination (again appearance only), a featureless face with only pure black eyes and slits for nostrils replacing their original features. Not attractive in the least.

Biography
Lady Vermina has served several of Lucifer’s rulers, though none as loyally or zealously so as Asmodeus, who she loves in her own twisted way. 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). 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 deserves.

Lady Vermina has dwelt within the Kingdom of Lucifer for far too long, unable to escape after it was sealed. She has entertained herself as much as possible through the limited number of humans remaining in the Kingdom, though this entertainment has grown stale many years ago and she now seeks more than anything to return to the human world.
