Backstory:The concept of divinity is surprisingly loose. Ancient gods, demons, devils, eldritch abominations, etc., all start to bleed together at some point. One such being managed to preserve its sense of self-awareness, and instead of succumbing to primordial desires like many lesser demons did, retained sentience and a sense of purpose. But it joined forces with other like-minded individuals in rebellion against a more powerful being. The demons were struck down and defeated, and sued for peace, a respite from punishment as part of a bargain to test the mortals that the more powerful being had an interest in. And so the demons were cast down from a higher plane of existence to the physical plane. Yet here the more powerful being had little in the way of enforcement, though it granted power against the demons to those mortals that believed in the powerful being. The demons decided to play the same game, by granting power to the mortals in return for belief. This, unfortunately, distracted the demons away from any attempt to unify their powers and their minions against the being that trapped them in this plane, as the competition was just too damn fun. The demons were now focused on making their minions fight each other in a manner resembling the games that mortals played. Sometimes it was straight-up war. Sometimes it was Chess, or Go, or Hide-and-Seek or American Football. The demons get bored quickly and are always looking for the next major update. Right now, the competition is not unlike DOTA auto-chess.
The aforementioned demon, at some point in history, granted its power to one Alouette Linville, who sold her soul for the power of necromancy. The demon chose a name for itself for the humans to call it by, which was 'Cadbury'. As part of Cadbury and Alouette's contract, Cadbury would continue to grant necromantic powers to Allouette's family, but her family had to occasionally use those powers to fight the minions of other demons. Though Alouette was not the first family that Cadbury had ever granted their powers to, nor were the Linville's the first family, Cadbury is invested in their current 'build', having seen success generation after generation. But over time, Cadbury lamented seeing their fellow demons slowly lose interest in the game. With the advent of science, summoning demons became a thing of the past, and paganism and satanism went the way of the hippie through its transformation into new age religions, such as Wiccanism. At first, Cadbury raged against the 'new updates', but over time, Cadbury warmed up to it, embracing the new changes with a sense of progressive pride. Cadbury began to study the human's latest social and media trends, becoming more and more (one might even say, insufferably) progressive and liberal. Cadbury even went so far as to remake the original contract and lay all the details bare for each generation of Linville so that Cadbury was not coercing them into a non-consenting relationship and unequal power-dynamic. Fortunately, the family appreciated Cadbury's honesty and re-signed the contract.
Cadbury finally concluded that demon summoners and necromancers were outdated. What the world needed, what would make witchcraft popular again was Magical Girls. But even when the next generation of the inheritor of the Linville legacy happened to be born a male, Cadbury wasn't worried. Who said magical girls had to be girls? Gender was an outdated social construct! Cadbury watched with interest as Morgan grew up, a boy who expressed interest in candy and cute things. Wonderful! Someone who didn't conform to gender stereotypes! Just the person Cadbury needed to spearhead their new idea. But Cadbury had to change himself as well. Giving Morgan agency and self-determination, Cadbury allowed Morgan the ability to slightly alter how their magic worked, while Cadbury took on a new form that Morgan would like to reflect Cadbury's own changes in social understanding. Now Cadbury accompanies Morgan in their quest to change the world for the better, while trying to convince humans and demons that making contracts with magical individuals of unspecified gender was the way of the future. And if they don't agree, they must be racist, misogynist, oppressive, chauvinist pigs.
Abilities:- Sweet Nothings (Motivational Bullshit) -
Cadbury can spew out empty, saccharine platitudes about self-empowerment to push anyone past their natural and supernatural limits. This ability has an exponential effect on someone who is being oppressed currently the underdog in a fight and is losing.
- Candy Wrapper Bow -
Cadbury puts a candy wrapper-shaped bow on someone, and makes a temporary contract with them, boosting their attack, defense, and magical power, while also giving them a cute dress, and a magical weapon, like a wand or something.
- Party-Sized Fun Pack -
Cadbury can take Morgan's summons and mash them together into a single, gigantic candy abomination that can continue to grow in size as it consumes corpses.
- The Ghost in the Shell -
Cadbury is effectively immortal, but their ability to interact with the world is severely limited. Cadbury cannot materialize in the physical plane while their current champion, Morgan, is unconscious. If either Morgan is killed or the grimoire Morgan holds is destroyed, it's game over for Cadbury, and Cadbury will have to start grinding for levels with a new champion.
- Grimoire-portation! -
Cadbury can use Morgan's grimoire to teleport himself or others by jumping into the pages. Somehow, the grimoire also comes along even though a book cannot enter its own pages according to Euclidean geometry. The target location is limited to places Cadbury has been to, but since Cadbury's been all around the world, they can make some pretty long distance teleports, but don't expect pinpoint accuracy.
Consume Soul -Cadbury can devour one of the jolly ranchers that Morgan creates from souls, effectively killing any supernatural entity that might be able to continue living even without a body. This is a holdover of Cadbury's more demonic past, and something Cadbury is not very willing to do again.
Soul Buyer -Cadbury can buy souls. Since Morgan is Cadbury's champion, Cadbury will not buy a livingsoul, since doing so makes the seller another magical individual of unspecified gender under Cadbury's employ, which is not something they want at the moment. But if an ally dies, Cadbury will ask the soul if it wants another shot at life. If it agrees, Cadbury buys the soul, and lends it back to itself, complete with its old body in perfect condition. If the seller dies again, the soul now belongs to Cadbury forever.
