Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

I guess for me, I'll be on stand by, and check back a few times a day. Might spell-check and grammar-check my CS because I noticed many mistakes in my rush to complete it. In the meantime, have fun guys! Can't wait to join in :)

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

...

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

@DarkravenLet's keep it normal armor atm. I'm trying to have the characters gain items over time.

@POOHEAD189

Sure, guess it's better that way. Makes narrative sense. Anyway, I'll transfer my character over to the character tab.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

@DarkravenYou can go ahead and put her in the character tab, and I'll give an update post this weekend and see if at that time I can squeeze you in. If not then, then definitely the post after :)

@POOHEAD189

Personally, I expected to be activated only after a while given the pace of the RP, like as far away as two to four weeks later. But anything earlier would be welcome. :)

What about the change I proposed?

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

@DarkravenVery well made character. You might need to de-power her a tiny portion, but not by much and I'll let you know if I think changes should be made for the future.

@POOHEAD189

Sure, no problem. Lemme know how to de-power her at your convenience. It might be a while though, because I foresee that it'd be some time before she's forced to reveal her true self whether by magical spell or 'death'. Much of her abilities are muted in the meantime.

It's also not mentioned in the RP, but changes in her will be gradual even after she's reverted to her demonic form. Memories will take time to resurface, her abilities will have to grow stronger again over time. Hell, she might even have trouble walking on hooves after reversion :D That's not to mention the identity crisis and trauma that would be sure to come.

Atm though I just have questions. I assume the Knights she was with were a holy order, and if so, would they not have magical items to detect her?

@POOHEAD189

Other than the below, Ushael is one of the best Succubus out there (though by no means the best, I bet *gasps*), one of the few if not the only one who could take on a deep disguise and materialise true flesh and blood to cover hers. Much of her demonic essence was hidden away her new skin and flesh hid her true physical form.

History did the rest - she was found by members of the order to be killing a demon, and since she's genuinely living the life of one of their own, could never arouse any kind of suspicion beyond the kind that didn't matter. She's been killing demons ever since, and yeah, it definitely helps that she's pretty much a saint and drop-dead gorgeous.

Then again, I take belief as a large part of my lore, so perhaps since she had amnesia, at that time she WASN'T considered demonic, even despite her nature within. Plus, many of the Knights might be enamored with her and would not heed such warnings anyhow. But still, the question remains.

@POOHEAD189

Yeah, pretty much these too.

Also, is her daughter full human?

@POOHEAD189

I've been asking myself that question for the entire week. Surprisingly, it's one of the harder things to decide. But since I've based this character on pop-cultural depictions as well as folklore, I'm going to stick with it. Her daughter's a demon, but since she's born from Jezebeth's disguise, she'd assume the shape of a human being until her death. In the meantime, she's going to start wondering why she's barely aging even when she's in her late golden years. Unless Mama-Succuby tells her that her entire life has been a lie.

Oh well, it's not like this is the first time Ushael's a mother :D She'll know what to do best. Hyuck hyuck.

Make her race, Human (Andredian), if that is where she considers herself from.

@POOHEAD189

Andredian, definitely.

Do let me know what else you want changed or added, and when I can throw Jezebeth into the Character tab.

In the meantime, I'm wondering if you're fine with this major change before I implement it:
- Make her entire suit of armour painful to the touch for demons (but otherwise causing very little actual harm)? They can still rip it off her if they ignore the pain though - Wrath Demons are especially good at that.

Also, how do you envision my character starting out?

I'm thinking that maybe you guys could stumble on the remains of her Guardian Order camp? She'd probably be busy burying the last few corpses of her comrades she has left to take care of. Unless you guys want things tough on your characters, the camp could still have an armoury and food store, but no one left to use them.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

Yep, I won't go overboard. However, if I overdid something, do let me know. For your convenience, here's the updated CS:

Username: Darkraven

Character Name: Jezebeth (Knight of the Guardian Order, Ruby of the Knighthood, Bane of Demons, Poverty & Famine, Daughter of None)

My Hider

Ushael (Mistress of the Circle of Lust, Despoiler and Corrupter of Kings and Men, Caress of the Dreadlands, Slayer of Knights, Fire's Shadow of the Forests, Eyes of the South)

Race/Species: Human (Andredian)

My Hider

Lust Demon, also known as a Succubus.

Gender: Female

My Hider

Female, but can appear as either.

Age: 31

My Hider

2,213

Career/Class: Knight of the Guardian Order, a Demon Slayer

My Hider

Mistress of the Circle of Lust, Seductress/Temptress, Infiltrator

Weapons:

• Kasdeya's Deathstroke: A 2,000 years old Elvish long sword reputedly used to kill Kasdeya, a notorious Succubus fond of poisons and potions. Causes great pain to demons if they touch it. Deadly against demon-flesh, otherwise mundane, if only extremely sharp and near-impossible to destroy. Found again in Jezebeth's travels.
• Guardian Order Kite Shield: A shield bearing the seal of the Guardian Order, a tower. Well made, but mundane.
• Knightly Dagger: A dagger with white guard and handle, used as a last resort or a tool. Of no special properties.
• Light Crossbow: A weak crossbow that can be loaded quickly, but releases bolts with a reduced force, something in between bows and crossbows.
• Gauntlets: If nothing else, a pair of well-spun steel gauntlets could be deadly.

My Hider

• Seduction, Mind Manipulation: Ushael could control men, and sometimes even women, by turning their brilliant (or not so brilliant) mind against them or exposing their greatest weaknesses like open wounds.
• Dread Fire: The Manipulation of fire. Not Ushael's main power, but like all demons, she could command it up to a certain level of adeptness. Firing jets or orbs of fire, spreading existing fire, but nothing too destructive.
• Gauntlets: Her hands and forearms are protected by a pair of gauntlets that are as much weapons as armour, with sharp spikes at the tip of the fingers, as well as many blade-like protrusions for points of strike.
• Horseshoes: A kick from her could fracture skulls.

Physical Description (as detailed as possible please, pictures not accepted.): While not tall at 5 feet 8, her beauty has been the talk of Andred ever since her entrance into the Guardian Order of Knights and minor fame. Blonde hair like gold or sunshine frames her face, falling to just below her shoulders, with curls left and right of her face. When on a mission or in battle, this is tied into a tight bun. High cheeks like royalty. Straight, diagonal brows. Supple, healthy lips. Pale skin, silver eyes. Enough curves on her body that even her armour could make a man blush - This, of course, she covers with a cloak and the colours of her Guardian Order.

That said, she is frequently found in her platemail armour of steel like silver and gold-gilding and linings. Otherwise, when at official events, she would often wear the white tunic of the Order with an abstract tower on the torso, or dresses of pleasant colours in parties.

She moves with a grace seen on ethereals, and fights not like the stereotypical hard-headed and brute strength of a Knight, but with agility, lithe grace and a little roguish misdirection and guile.

As if sculpted by the Gods themselves... Though jealous whispers suggest that her beauty is unnatural and the product of a deal with a devil. Indeed, some feel that she possesses a kind of 'inner beauty' that seems to radiate from within, complementing an already flawless exterior. Some find themselves blessed to be in her presence while others are intimidated, envious or suspicious of her.

My Hider

Shaped by the darkest of mortal desires, Ushael plays on the lust of the many races. 5 feet 10 if standing really straight on her hooves, her baldness is nothing ugly, only emphasizing her tempting face of dark-pupil and pointed eyes, thin brows, supple lips, and Elvish ears that would make even the most disciplined of Elvish priests blush. Just above her forehead are a pair of horns curling backwards like that of goats - grooved and hard and deadly-pretty.

She has pale, grey flesh, blurring the lines between life and death. A body too perfect, frequently bared to all such that an army of swordsmen would not cut it, unless she'd summoned clothes that could only emphasize her seductive powers, or when practical - like in cold weather that even demons cannot stand.

Her muscles are toned to perfection, there but not too obvious. Her lower legs are hairy like that of horses or ponies, ending in hooves. A vestigial wings hung on her back, resembling that of giant bats with serrated talons on each bony protrusion. However, it could only be used to break falls, not to fly nor even glide. And lastly, she has a long, slender tail ending in a 3-pronged hook, which isn't sharp and could not be used to maim or kill.

Armor: Jezebeth wears platemail armour of the lighter variety, simply because she is not strong enough to carry the heaviest plates that knights are known for. But it is a fully body armour, complemented by a shield, cloak and various pieces around the waist and chest announcing the presence of the Guardian Order.

My Hider

Urshael wears no armour except for her ebony, intricate and impossibly well-made gauntlets and horseshoes.

Equipment/Other She has a horse bred for swiftness. A backpack that tends to sit on it if not on her containing whatever she will need to survive and travel lightly. Rations, a change of clothes, some medicinal herbs and bandages. What is most prominent is the amulet around her neck, which is usually hidden her armour and shirt, a strange amulet with a ruby for a centrepiece - containing strange magic. Even Jezebeth knows not what it is for, except that she needs it and would not take it off. She figures it to be an important heirloom whose origin is lost to time and her amnesia.

My Hider

Ushael has no petty need for 'equipment' and other things. Other than the Amulet that has been gifted to her by a kindred spirit, a Demon of Pride, what some would describe as an imp, Iliael. Crafted with demon power and magic, it will mask the demonic energy emanating from her, making her nearly impossible to detect.

As for her other abilities, what characterises her best is her ability to shapeshift, take on the appearance of someone other than herself. This has limits, however, as she couldn't be too much smaller or bigger than her original size. Powerful magic or divine intervention could force her to return to her original form.

Unlike most Succubus, however, Ushael has mastered this ability to such a degree that she could, if she wants, manifest her disguise to be far more than skin-deep, squeezing her real form into a higher dimension and layering real flesh and blood over. The cost is enormous, however: It will always result in amnesia, and her demonic powers would be gone. Again, this has limits. Some demonic energies or essence will still leak out, and some of the better mages and priests could still detect her. If it isn't for her amulet, she would have been found out a long time ago.

A common ability that Ushael shares with other Succubus is her ability to drain energy and magic from those with who she fornicates. Even a caress or a kiss, or other more intimate gestures could do this - though the amount drained would not be much. It is in the actual act of intercourse that would leave her unwitting victim nearly dried out, exhausted or in the case of the likes of mages, nearly powerless. However, taking on a deep disguise of actual flesh and blood would diminish this ability drastically, such that the sensations of her kiss or caresses would only feel as if much more electric and disarming, taking away nearly nothing, and maintaining the disguise. Even sexual intercourse would leave her partner mostly fine - a little tired but satisfied.

This is not to mention her unnatural beauty, which could turn aside a hundred spears and swords that only a champion of chastity could even attempt to overcome. In whatever forms she take, this unnatural beauty would emanate. While diminished in a deep disguise, it is by no means dissipated - such is the power of her beauty.

Mental Description/Personality:Jezebeth is outwardly kind and thoughtful, a creative soul who channels her imagination into helping others, telling anecdotes and uplifting people. Her solution to problems tend to be rooted in eloquence, skill and intellect, not brutality, cruelty and unneeded cunning. She is a known philanthropist, if she isn't on her missions to slay demons or any foul creatures, humanoid or otherwise, that the Order wants dead.

But deep down, she is conflicted and swaying from one extreme or another - something which she has to get used to ever since waking up in the middle of an open field with no recollection of who she is. Her missions as a demon-slaying knight demands discipline and focus in all aspects of her life. It demands wisdom, self-sacrifice. But deep down, she wants, no, craves a break from this. Celibacy feels like a fool's concept in the face of her deeply-nestled need for companionship and bodily pleasures. She wants to throw caution to the wind, and embrace a wilder side. She wants to indulge for her own ends, just because.

But day by day, she wills herself to stop this madness before it begins, praying to one God or another that many say would listen, only to feel empty and ignored. Nevertheless, she has been successful (most of the time) in living the life as expected of the ideal, moral knight, as a defender of mankind and a role model to all. Because deep down, she also know that she wants to be something more.

My Hider

Ushael is manipulative, deceptive, dealing in lies within lies, and only truth when expressed in pleasure and sense, nakedness - to her benefit, or the benefit of the cause she serves. She has no qualms about sacrificing the welfare of others or causing the consequences of her actions as she seduces, cheat, lie, manipulate and straight-out puppeteers men and women in her machination of one agenda or the other. She takes pride in her work, not calling it as such - business and pleasure are one. And even as she seduces for her goals or the goals of an overseer, she seduces just as much for her own enjoyment, taking in how she would break down the will of her enemies and forcing them with their own mind to do things they would hate or renounce previously at a glance. And of course, the sex from a position of power.

But Ushael wants more. Ever since being forced into hiding amongst the mortal races, she has understood what 'goodness' is, what love means. It isn't unknown to her that she is created from the sins of the many races, and she wants to be much more than that. Perhaps to be good is enjoyment of another kind? Perhaps love is another form of lust? Even after so many years of meditation, her understanding of goodness still sits uneasily between the abyss of mystery and the light of enlightening, wavering so often and interrupted by the many lifetimes of mortal life she has decided to live through.

Manipulation, deception, lies, seduction and selfishness, as it turns out, can be used for good.

Goals: Something in the Southland calls to her. For many months, she ignores it, thinking it to be another fancy of hers to be wild. But she could resist no more. Eventually, she has rationalised it so far that it is her mission to slay demons in the Southlands, to clean the layered taint and filth.

Background/History:

• Jezebeth wakes up on the open plains, with no memories of who she is or where she came from. All she knows is the name 'Jezebeth', and all she has is an amulet sitting on her breast. Not even clothes on her back did she have.
• She stumbles upon a kindly old farmer and his family, who took her in as one of his own. She has learnt much from him as she toiled on his farm to repay his kindness.
• A Demon of Wrath terrorises the countryside, eventually reaching the farm and killing most of the family, including the old farmer. Enraged, she slays the beast with nothing but a pitchfork and a rusty sword, finding surprising aptitude in herself on the task.
• She was witnessed by a few Guardian Knights, who took her in as an initiate and squire.
• Jezebeth gets married to one of the surviving farmers, a lucky man who finds opportunity in employment in an Andred city as a warehouse master.
• She ascends to Knighthood after slaying another troublesome Demon of Lust, a Succubus, loose in the city. Somehow or other, she is able to instinctively predict her moves and anticipate her, eventually catching up and slaying her.
• She bore a child whom she names Elizabeth.
• There are times when there is little threat of demons or the more usual dangers. She spends this time on her family or equally heroic acts of philanthropy, feeding and taking care of the poor.
• She has since become also known as the Ruby of the Knighthood, a lady of immense beauty, and just as infinite of beauty, courage, grace and strength. A subject of minor fame that she is even invited to dine with the nobility of Andred.
• Years passed with many obstacles met and overcome. A stray incubus kills her husband and nearly her daughter when it attempted to corrupt her. She grieves.
• The Southlands call to her. She answers the call with a few other knights and soldiers of the Guardian Order. Leaving behind her daughter to a close friend, and her city.
• She is eventually all that is left of the expedition into the Southlands. Her fortune runs low, as few demons are slain and ALL of her sword-brothers and sisters are killed eventually.

My Hider

And that is my story, love. There's nothing more, honest as the heavens. Come, let me snuggle in close to you, and we may talk further... With more than just words.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

Kinky

Touching someone I might not allow unless it's extremely weak though. Might as well not go that route. @Darkraven

@POOHEAD189

It'll be extremely weak. By touching, I meant... Um... Caressing, kissing, or acts that come before sex or during sex. This ability to drain energy and magic will be severely reduced in her mortal disguise, to basically nil such that no one would suspect a thing. But it's enough for her to feel a little fresher and energized and her unwitting partner to feel a little tired but satisfied.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, normal contact doesn't work, but that's sort of implied.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

@DarkravenI shall give your sheet a looksie before tomorrow afternoon! Probably tonight though :)

@POOHEAD189

No problem. I'm probably going to add one or two things anyway. I forgot to describe her horns and her ability to drain energy or magic by fornication and even touching someone.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

Man, that was tough! Took me like 2 hours or more to craft this first draft of a character sheet. It's essentially like creating 2 character sheets in one. Let me know if there're any holes in the CS, because I'm sure there are, inevitably. Also, let me know if you need anything changed.

EDIT: I'm still making changes, filling up holes an such. Lemme know if anything else needs change as I work.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

@DarkravenI cant help you with divine detection, but I don't mind you wearing an amulet that helps you against magical detection unless someone tries to scry you specifically. If you wish

Magical Amulet eh? Sounds good to me. I guess her deep disguise would only act as physical disguise then... As in, when she gets cut, she'd bleed red human blood rather than golden sulphur for blood. Instead of crying black ichor, she'd have normal tears. At least until she loses her disguise by dying or some insane spell that forces her out of hiding.

I'll come up with a character sheet tonight.
